News In Final 2017 Kenya Election Report, Carter Center Terms Elections ‘Major Setback In Democratic Development’ Urges Momentum on Electoral Reform, Transparent Technology. The Center’s report recommends that parliament review the electoral framework, making all necessary changes to the electoral law well in advance of the next elections, and urges it to implement the legally mandated two-thirds gender rule. The report also urges the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission to move swiftly to implement all recommendations in the KPMG audit of the voter register and to conduct a new voter-registration audit at least 12 months prior to the 2022 election. The Center calls on legislators and the IEBC to sustain momentum on electoral reform in order to allow for adequate implementation before the 2022 elections, and to prepare and train members of the election commission, judiciary, and other key electoral stakeholders. The Center notes that in the months since the election, the political atmosphere has improved following the “handshake” between President Uhuru Kenyatta and opposition leader Raila Odinga on March 9, 2018. Their rapprochement resulted in the Building Bridges initiative, which has as part of its mandate a review of Kenya’s electoral processes. The Center urges all electoral stakeholders to use the lessons learned from the 2017 elections to inform the Building Bridges initiative and to initiate an electoral reform process in 2018. Recent political posturing over the 2022 presidential election and the upcoming national census and boundary delimitation process raises concerns that an electoral reform process could be delayed. To move electoral reform forward, parliament should move swiftly to ensure that the requisite number of IEBC commissioners are in place. Meaningful reform cannot be implemented without a fully functioning commission. Key highlights of the comprehensive report include: Use of Information and Communications Technology: In an annex to the report, The Carter Center presents its assessment of the use of information and communications technology in Kenya’s election. The annex notes that while the use of these technologies presented numerous challenges during the 2017 electoral cycle, when used effectively, they have the potential to create confidence in the election results at all levels, including the Supreme Court. Having transparent and verifiable evidence and effective mechanisms to distinguish authentic information from fake information is the best way to create confidence in an election outcome. Given the constitutional mandate that all election processes be transparent, the Center recommends that the IEBC utilize information and communications technology that is transparent and fully verifiable and that offer mechanisms for party agents and observers to check the accuracy of the tabulation and results transmission during an election and after the election is completed. Women’s participation: The comprehensive report also includes an annex that summarizes its findings regarding women’s political participation during the 2017 electoral process. The Center reiterates its call to all stakeholders charged with strengthening women, youth, and persons with disabilities political participation – including political parties, the IEBC, and the Office of the Registrar of Political Parties – to put corrective measures in place to protect the rights of these and other special-interest groups, as safeguarded in the constitution. The Center continues to follow the ongoing process in the parliament to pass legislation to implement the two-thirds gender principle mandated by the constitution. Parliament missed the initial five-year deadline for passing such legislation, the one-year extension allowed by the constitution, and several deadlines set by the High Court. Women’s groups challenging the failure of parliament to act have recently agreed to delay returning to court until Sept. 30. If no implementing legislation is passed by then, parliament risks being dissolved under Article 261(5)(6) and (7) of the constitution. To avoid this contingency, the Center urges the parliament to agree on legislation before the new deadline. The Center conducted consultations in the summer of 2018 on women and youth engagement in political participation in several counties around the country. Both constituencies expressed a strong desire to engage politically but cited numerous financial, cultural, and societal challenges that make it difficult to do so. A summary report of those findings is forthcoming. Legal framework: The Center encourages stakeholders to conduct a comprehensive review of the electoral legal framework. Parliament should conduct an inclusive consultative process well in advance of the 2022 election cycle to strengthen the electoral law, particularly with regard to the conduct of party primaries and electoral dispute-resolution mechanisms. It should also clarify leadership and integrity requirements so that prospective candidates understand the requirements to run for office well in advance of the polls. In addition, parliament should clearly define the respective roles of the IEBC and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission in determining whether candidates have met these eligibility criteria. Separate from the final report, The Carter Center recently conducted a review of decisions from the High Court and the Court of Appeals on challenges to the results of the 2017 elections. The Center found that lower courts have inconsistently applied the legal reasoning in the Supreme Court’s Sept. 1 decision to annul the Aug. 8, 2017, presidential election. This is especially true when considering whether alleged irregularities were “substantial” enough to warrant the annulling of an election without consideration of the results. The inconsistent application of the Supreme Court’s ruling threatens to create a situation where the threshold for annulling elections in Kenya is so low that the will of the people as expressed through the ballots cast could become a secondary consideration. As of this month, there are 14 election petitions pending before the Supreme Court. The resolution of these cases may bring some clarity and consistency to the interpretation of the Elections Act (specifically, Article 83) and the Supreme Court ruling that pertain to the annulation of election results. Following the election, the Center recommended that parliament amend the election law to clarify that election results should only be annulled when irregularities are of a sufficient magnitude to affect the outcome. The Supreme Court addressed this issue in its recent rulings and indicated that such a step would require a constitutional amendment. The Kenyan government should give this option serious consideration to bring its dispute-resolution framework into alignment with best practices across the continent. The Carter Center in Kenya:. The Center also deployed experts from February to August 2018 to discuss information and communications technology, legal reform, and women and youth participation recommendations with electoral stakeholders. The Center assessed the court decisions on electoral petitions challenging the results in down-ballot races and women and youth participation in the 2017 elections. Reports with findings and recommendations on these issues are forthcoming.

Each debt comes in the form of smal qualitative shortcomings we ( knowingly or unknowingly ) choose to ignore in the name of shipping. They cause friction - and over time, they can combine to easily grind momentum to a halt if left unchecked. While these kinds of debt can in fact be useful ( if not necessary ) to creating software, teams need to understand the nature of their shortcomings to prevent "velocity bankruptcy" In this talk, we'll discuss the nature of process debt by using classical ideas related to "Unproductive behavior" as a guide: hitting on shortcomings in culture, empathy, discipline, morale, organization, preparedness, and requirements. We'll discuss examples, tips on identifying the risks in your own projects, and how to decide when to avoid, mitigate - or accept and track these risks. Speaker Brian McElaney (or just Mac) has lead engineering teams building everything from medical device monitoring systems to foreign exchange trading platforms. He currectly runs the technology team at Think Company - a user experience design firm in Philly focused on enterprise softwrea, process, and service design.

Home Israel Foreign Affairs ISRAEL-S DEFENSE INDUSTRY IN 1998-31-Dec-98 ISRAEL-S DEFENSE INDUSTRY IN 1998-31-Dec-98 By Israel Foreign Affairs - December 30, 1998 10 Share on Facebook Tweet on Twitter tweet 31 December 1998 ISRAEL’S DEFENSE INDUSTRY IN 1998 (Communicated by Defense Ministry Spokesman) Defense Ministry Director-General Ilan Biran today (Wednesday) 30.12.98, appearing before the Managers’ Club of the Kibbutz Industry Union, said, "In order to exist, develop and compete in the global economy, considering the decline in demand for defense related products, and to provide answers to the defense establishment’s needs, Israeli defense industries must export at least $2 billion annually. There has been a 50% decline in demand for defense related products over the past decade, from $60 to $30 billion annually. In 1998, due to the global crisis, especially in Asia, and the decline in demand in Europe and the United States, Israeli defense exports amounted to $1.7 billion. In truth, we were afraid that the total would be far less, but coordinated action by industry and the Defense Ministry managed to increase export sales. In 1997, Israeli defense exports were $2.6 billion, due to a large deal with Turkey. Defense industries must export 80% of their production, according to experts. Israel Aircraft Industries already reaches this target. In order to meet the challenges in the world and by the defense establishment, defense industries must continue carrying out structural reforms, including mergers and joint production in order to prevent redundancies. At least 80% of all products were joint programs, including drones and equipment upgrading. In future, essential mergers and privatization will have to be carried out so as to compete with giant American and European conglomerates each of which have tens of billions of dollars worth of turnover. The world has already merged, and those who do not grow very large, will not survive. The committee examining defense industries and their future, headed by Moshe Peled, has already reached its conclusions, and we are implementing them. The conclusions, which support the trends of structural reform and privatization, are still at the level of staff work and will be published only after decisions are made by the Israeli government." Director-General Biran also said, "Israel faces three fundamental threats — terrorism, conventional arms and non-conventional weapons, which includes the nuclear threat. The conventional threat has been repressed, possibly because of the human factor. Our environment has not seen a diminishing of armies. Syria has sharpened its ballistic missiles and has been arming them with non-conventional warheads." As for the IDF’s armaments, which have doubled and tripled in various fields since the Yom Kippur War — such as tanks and aircraft — Biran said, "Weapons have aged, including missiles and vehicles. They have to be upgraded, because not everything can be replaced. Each of these areas has to be budgeted, a regime of maintenance and upgrading has to be implemented, components’ life-spans have to be planned for based on each model, otherwise urgent upgrading will have to be carried out to restore the balance, and urgent action will be more expensive and problematical than continual, moderate deployment."

I just got my 43TX in today and so far I love it. I was intrigued when I found that it has the option to use the back channel amps to bi-amp the front speakers. In less than a week I'm going back to school w/ a small room that won't accommodate a 6.1 or 7.1 setup, so I won't have back surround speakers hooked up at all. I'm wondering if anyone has tried the bi-amp feature w/ their 43TX / 45TX? If so, how well does it work, does it make a noticeable improvement in the sound quality, and does it justify the effort? Thanks

technology. So, It’s always better to be safe rather than sorry afterwards. So here I am with a list of ways to backup your emails on Gmail: 1. Desktop Email Client One of the easiest and most conventional method to Gmail Backup, is to download the mails to your hard-disk using a desktop email client. Some good applications that I recommend are: - Mozilla Thunderbird (For Windows, Mac and Linux) - Windows Live Mail (Windows only) - Apple Mail (on OS X) If you plan on using the client for all of your email needs, then you should connect via IMAP, but if you want it only for backup purposes, POP will do just fine. Its pretty easy to set up the accounts, but if you need more info, feel free to ask me. 2. Hotmail An alternative approach would be to backup your mails on other mail service. And for this job, What’s better than Hotmail? Step1. Login to your Hotmail account and Open TrueSwitch. Fill up all the details like your current Gmail address, Stuffs that you would like to copy etc. Also choose “Forward e-mails for 30 days to your Hotmail address” so that all the emails that you receive in the next 30 days will be automatically forwarded to Hotmail. Step 2. Wait for 24 hours till all your mail are imported. Till then, grab some popcorns and watch movies! 😉 After the first 30 days period in which mails get automatically forwarded (if you have chosen this option), you can setup forwarding in your Gmail Account. Under your Gmail settings activate “Forwarding and IMAP” to your Hotmail as a forwarding address. Be sure to choose “keep Gmail’s copy in the Inbox.” So you are basically storing data on clouds of 2 web giants Google and Microsoft, so the likely hood of both going down at the same instant is next to impossible. 3. Backupify If you are even more lazy and want to automate the process entirely, then try Backupify. Backupify gives you 2GB of backup storage for free, which should be enough. Honestly telling, I’ve never used even 1GB of my Gmail Storage, so it should be enough. If you need more space, it was has paid plans besides too. It can also backup many of your other services, like Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, and more, and is compatible with Google Apps. 4. GMail Backup GMail Backup is a software that backups your emails on to your hard-disk. Though this software was last updated on 20. February 2009; It works fine on windows 7 (I tried it on my 64bit Win 7). It has the option to back emails of either the selected period only or the newest mails. Download: GMail Backup 5. MailStore MailStore is an email client which can retrieve emails from several services. Similar to Gmail-backup, MailStore does also offer automatic backup of your email but is compatible with a wider range of email services. It Supports Internet mailboxes such as Gmail or Yahoo Mail, other mailboxes using POP3 or IMAP and also Microsoft Outlook, Windows mail, MS Exchange Server & Hosted Exchange, Thunderbird, Seamonkey etc. So make sure you do a Gmail Backup now!

SCOTLAND is the most highly educated country in Europe, according to official figures. More than two-fifths of the nation’s 25 to 64-year-olds have a college or university qualification. That puts Scots ahead of Ireland, Luxembourg and Finland to top the table, the Office for National Statistics said. Scotland is up with Canada and Russia among the world’s best-educated countries. The figures are in a compendium put together for the independence referendum debate. ONS chief economic adviser Joe Grice said: “It places, where we can, comparable information about the four countries in the UK to bring together a resource to support public debate.” The figures reveal the country has a skilled workforce – but that 10.3 per cent of working age people have no qualifications. In Northern Ireland, the figure is 17.2 per cent. In Wales it is 10.6 per cent and it’s 9.1 per cent in England. The study found 83 per cent of Scots declare their nationality as Scottish. Only 70 per cent in England call themselves English. Scotland fell short of its target of attracting 24,000 extra immigrants to support pensions in 2012, with only 14,000 immigrants arriving.The unemployment rate was the UK’s lowest at 6.4 per cent and the public sector employment the second lowest at 22.1 per cent. The study found that – excluding North Sea oil – Scotland made up 7.8 per cent of the UK economy from 8.3 per cent of the population. England put in 86.5 per cent from 84 per cent of the people. But most of that came from London.

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion - Sin 3.8 432) on 2/21/2009 7:23:00 PM Age: 25-29 Skin: Combination, Other, Not Sure Hair: Black, Other, Other Eyes: Brown This comes off as a champagne color on my MMM eyelids...I use this more as a e/s than primer potion though. Also, some say this creases more than the original so I have to see about that. It's not as gold champagne as I would have liked...but it's a nice every day color that lasts. Edited: this is way too frosty. on 2/20/2009 8:36:00 PM Age: 36-43 Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral Hair: Blond, Curly, Coarse Eyes: Hazel As others have said, the color is touted as a shimmery champagne. Strangely it comes off an almost mauvy-beige on me, but I like the color, so no complaints there. As a primer, I find this creases like mad on me, unlike the original. This creases on me within an hour, but with the original I can easily go 6 hours before it shows any signs of creasing. All in all it's nice worn with black liner, but as a primer I'll stick to the original. on 2/19/2009 11:08:00 PM Age: 19-24 Skin: Sensitive, Fair, Cool Hair: Red, Wavy, Medium Eyes: Blue Of course the packaging blows. If you rip out the little white plastic thing that keeps the wand from moving side to side you won't have to slice the bottle in half. I love it, I'm hooked. I went out and bought a second tube. I hope they come out with more colors. The shimmering champagne color is very pretty, but a little different from the actual e/s sin. The e/s Sin is a little more pinkish silver on my skin, so I was pleasantly surprised when this stuff was showed up a pretty warm champagne on my lids. This stuff looks awesome alone with a simple black cat eyeliner. It also looks great under Sphynx cream shadow. on 2/19/2009 6:58:00 PM Age: 30-35 Skin: Normal, Fair, Not Sure Hair: Black, Other, Other Eyes: Blue I love this. I love how shimmery it is. My eyeshadow and eyeliner did not crease just like they do not crease when I use the UDPP. My only problem is of course the packaging. It's a waste, but I've mastered busting the bottle open and storing it in a jar. on 2/19/2009 4:02:00 AM Age: 19-24 Skin: Combination, Fair, Neutral Hair: Brunette, Wavy, Medium Eyes: Green crappy packaging as we all know i'm a girl in the minority who returned the original UDPP. it just didnt work for me. this was appealing though bc i figured even if everything disappeared i'd still have pretty champagne colored eyeshadow well thats pretty much how it worked out. my shadow and liner didnt crease, but it did fade - as much as if i didn't use this. why am i the only one this happens to?!?! i still use this product out of habit. for me it is just like a first layer of shimmery color. on 2/18/2009 9:09:00 AM Age: 19-24 Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Not Sure Hair: Brunette, Other, Other Eyes: Blue So I bought this off of eBay (Sephora doesn't sell UD in the Netherlands...) and received it 2 days ago. It applies very smoothly and the color (champagne-ish) is great. Up till now, I only used it without any shadow or other powder over it, and after a few hours it starts creasing... So I guess you'll have to 'set' it with a shadow to prevent the creasing. Another downside is that once again, Urban Decay put it in that awfully inconventient bottle. I don't think it has any more value over the original, so I don't think I'll be buying this again and I'll just stick with the original UDPP. on 2/17/2009 5:54:00 PM Age: 25-29 Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral Hair: Brown, Straight, Fine Eyes: Brown As usual the packaging for this item sucks. I should not have to risk cutting off my fingers just to get the product out. That said, I still decided to buy this since I loved the color. UDPP in Sin is just as great as the original UDPP & the extra shimmer is a nice touch. My eyeshadow lasts all day & looks great when i get home at night. Despite my disdain for the bottle I'll most likely still keep buying unless I can find something identical to this in better packaging. on 2/17/2009 2:10:00 PM Age: 19-24 Skin: Combination, Medium, Not Sure Hair: Black, Other, Other Eyes: Brown I love the new UDPP in SIN! Not only can you use it as a Primer but also as a Shadow alone. The Color is beyond Gorgeous! And I am so tired of hearing about the bottle packaging! I truly belive that when you cut it open it's just extra product mine last for ever and cutting it open makes it last even more! So please if you don't like the packaging don't buy it! And Please UD DON'T CHANGE THE BOTTLE I LOVE IT! on 2/16/2009 10:48:00 PM Age: 19-24 Skin: Sensitive, Fair-Medium, Not Sure Hair: Black, Other, Other Eyes: Hazel I loveloveloveLOVE this stuff! The color? Perfection. It really brings out lighter colored eye shadow. Only complaint: the gorgeous bottle makes it hard to really get your "money's worth".

I have light/medium skin and it goes on with just a slight pink shimmer (well, a lot of shimmer, a little pink). It is great alone as a neutral-ish shadow or layered with other colors. I esp like it with deep shimmery purples. It does not seem to last on my lids quite as long as the original primer potion but maybe that is just because I have been wearing it alone without shadows over it. It is not the same shade as the "sin" eyeshadow. I think it is a little less shimmery and less pink. Absolutely glad I purchased this!

What Are Too Faced's Lace Compacts? Fans Have Theories About Jerrod Blandino's Tease — PHOTO Too Faced creative guru and co-founder Jerrod Blandino has done it again. Blandino is known to tease forthcoming products, which he lovingly calls "sneaky peeks," on his personal Instagram. Following his Peach Revolution tease, the ever-coy Blandino teased new lacy Too Faced compacts. He didn't reveal what, exactly, these lace-look products are. He merely stated that these were lab samples and that they would be "amazeballs." That, I do not doubt. In his Insta post, there are three open-faced compacts. The two outer compacts look like they have black lace placed over the product itself. The center compact looks bronzy and with a lacy, floral print stamped into it. To my eyes, the two bookend compacts are likely prototypes with a lacy stencil over top, which will imprint into the product itself and then be removed. IMO, the center product is what the final should look like once the lacy stencil is removed. To me, it wouldn't seem practical for a lace veil to remain over a pan of product. That's my theory based on the visuals. Of course Too Facers have their own theories, which they dropped in the comments of the Instagram post. There is only one constant and that's the faith that Blandino and co. have come up with something utterly amazing that all fans of the brand will want to use. They are utterly gorgeous, aren't they? I am thinking these are baked blushes bronzers, or eyeshadows that will have lacy imprint instead of an overlay. Fans are "ooh'ing" and "aah'ing" over Too Faced's latest offering. Aside from the general excitement over this product, Too Facers are already accepting that yet another #ByeMoney product is on the horizon. Here is Blandino's Peach Revolution tease, which could be an offshoot of the Sweet Peach line or further additions to the existing lineup. That's all TBD. That said, we can expect Blandino to continue to offer more "sneaky peeks" and for fans to look for more intel about these compacts. Images: Jerrod Blandino/Instagram (2)

Mallersdorf-Pfaffenberg is a municipality of Bavaria in southern Germany with a population of about 7,000. It is also the site of the Mallersdorf Abbey, where beer was first produced in the 12th century by Benedictine monks, for whom beer was a safe alternative to dirty drinking water. The abbey’s brewing tradition resumed in 1881, and for the last 45 years, it has continued under the careful craftsmanship of Sister Doris Engelhard, 65—Europe’s last brewmaster nun. Brewing is her way of serving God. It’s rather known that monks have been brewing beer since the Middle Ages, but you don’t hear so much about nuns. How did you come to be a brewmaster and a nun? I was actually a brewmaster before I took my vows. I came to the convent when I was a child in 1961. I attended a school that was run by the nuns. I had known always that I wanted a religious life, but my father thought it would not suit me. He suggested I study agriculture instead, but that was not possible in the school. So one of the sisters suggested I work in the brewery. I took a course at a local school and became a brewmaster. Then I decided to join the convent and I took my vows. Tell me about the beers you make. I make a maibock, a doppelbock, a dark zoigl and a copper-hued lager. My favorite is the dark zoigl. I’m not so much of a connoisseur of beer—I mostly only drink what I brew at the abbey. So you also drink beer? I love to drink beer. I think it is the healthiest drink you can have, as long as you don’t have too much. It is pure—the main ingredients are barley, water, hops and yeast. I drink a bottle or two every evening. Have you tried many American beers? Whenever I have an American beer, I drink it—obviously. But I have to say that I do not really find it very tasty. I was in Nebraska in 2005, and I did not get any good beer for two weeks. But then I was in a brewery-bar in Omaha; I don’t remember the name. The beer there was good and the atmosphere was nice and cozy. What do you think about the craft beer movement? I cannot imagine that the new wave of craft beers are real craft beers, when they are produced by breweries that have an output of millions of hectoliters. Small breweries in Germany like ours always produced craft beers without making it special or talking about it that much. Where can people drink your beer? Only at the abbey. Beer is a fresh product. It should not be crated and shipped and left sitting. It needs to be enjoyed straight away. That is why we only serve our beers locally. Is brewing beer how you ever expected to express your faith? I understand some find it a strange profession for any woman, never mind a nun. But I don’t think it’s that strange. Every nun here has a job. That is how we serve God. As Saint Benedict wrote, ‘In all things God may be glorified,’ and that is also true of beer. Thank you Tracy for the article about Schwester Doris. Several years ago, my girlfriend and I made the trek to Mallersdorf-Pfaffenberg and had the opportunity to meet Schwester Doris in person. Although she was not expecting us, we knocked on the brewery door to see if we could receive a spontaneous tour of the brewing premises. At first, she begrudgingly showed us around, but as we began to discuss brewing and beer more extensively, she gradually warmed up to us. She is incredibly knowledgeable about brewing and the various breweries in her region. Every night she usually drinks one beer, but no more and meets about once a week with the local brewers to discuss shop. It is, or at least was, possible to find her beer in Munich in some choice beer stores, but I did not see it the last time when I was there in February. I particularly enjoy the Helles that she brews, but I believe she prefers Zoigl, which is a specialty for that region of Bavaria. However, I fear that the brewery will cease production when she retires. She mentioned that there does not appear to be a successor in sight and the youngest members of the monastery are in their early 40s. Please keep the stories about small Bavarian breweries coming! In our region, there are some tremendous, family-owned breweries outside of Bamberg that make exceptional beer, but are slowly disappearing due to the increased commercialization of the beer industry in Germany and the overall decline of beer drinkers. I agree with Schwester Doris that the craft beer label is a misnomer when American ‘microbreweries’ rely on contract brewing and produce hundreds of thousands of hectoliters per year. Focus on what you can brew well and let the big breweries make 50 different styles.

here's a " there but for the grace of god go i" sample. i played this a lot-people went nuts for it on a house floor. it's todd terry. the gypsy men- hear the music. there's sampling as homage and then there's a fist fucking rip off- which is what many dj/producers focused on in the late 80s and early 90s. many primarily black female vocalists who had been staples of gay and black disco music but largely unknown to the mainstream, like gloria gaynor, martha walsh (the reason for every hit black box had- and they were huge fucking hits) and jocelyn brown- famous especially for ' somebody else's guy'- were mercilessly ripped off and glued into relatively generic house music causing astronomical sales and an explosion of dance music culture world wide. skinny ass models were dropped into the videos and splayed across record sleeves and the only real reasons for the wild success of these tunes- the vocal performances of extremely talented black women who built dance music as we knew it on the power and intense emotional dynamics of their instrument- were relegated to unpaid obscurity. here's only one club song-of the only blacks and gays were listening to it variety- and you can lose count of the samples torn from it. and it's just one fucking song. the sublime jocelyn brown ' loves gonna get you' and a small selection of the songs that went platinum using her without crediting her or having other singers try to mimic her once they were busted. her dance music cred in unbelievable- she sang on musique's 2 huge hits- "keep on jumpin" and "in the bush"(' push push in the bush')- both number 1 disco songs. she did a slew of songs with cerrone and chic-chic were unstoppable( le freak is the largest selling single ever for the entire suite of warner brother's record labels. even johnny marr of the smiths bows down before chic as we all should.) bizarre inc- snap- the power I am also very fond of Mavis Staples / The Staples Singers. My fave Soft Cell song is "Heat." I can't sit still when I hear it. LOVE your posts. because back then you actually heard music by black people and women in an ' alternative' club. now it's all whitey is righty or shitty german remakes and almost entirely male artists.there was an eclecticism about it all back then- a wider range of musical styles could be played. i really miss it. i want a fucking time machine so i can go out and dance again not stand around looking at a bunch of lame goths who wouldn't know goth or good 80s music it it smacked them up. i am always one for the black female soul singers- or the white chicks who can pull it off. allison moyet has that quality- a white girl who can belt it out like it means something. that's the power of church singing coming through.

Free heart checks will be offered by pharmacies in an initiative which aims to detect life-threatening conditions early. The NHS England scheme will see selected chemists roll out the 'rapid detection service', which will include cholesterol and blood pressure checks, as well as tests for irregular heartbeats. The programme will be expanded to every pharmacy in England by 2022, if the trial is a success. The idea has been described as a 'game changer' by England's most senior doctor. Professor Stephen Powis says it could prevent 150,000 heart attacks and strokes over 10 years. Professor Powis, who is the NHS national medical director, well-being, while investing in life-changing services, close to home, when ill-health hits."

There are three stages that I, as a music listener and reviewer, have gone through in my life so far. The first consists of enjoying songs on a purely gut level, without much analysis of what you like and why you like it. This is basically the starting point for everybody — at an early age, you are attracted to elements such as catchiness, danceability, or just the general vibes and attitude. Growing up and discovering more and more artists I began scratching beneath that surface and thinking about what I really want from my music. I began seeking experimentation, originality, lyrics that said something. I wanted to be challenged and started dismissing everything that didn’t do so, including stuff that I previously loved. I became embarrassed by my past tastes and by me not being critical enough of them. But then came a second and much more important realization: that this kind of elitism was not who I am, and after all, you can’t really control what you like. There’s a time and place for both analyzing music and simply letting yourself enjoy it, and life is just too short to disregard the latter. When it comes to the American band The Sonics, there really is not much place for fussing around. They are as raw, as uncompromising and as unpretentious as rock n’ roll gets, nothing less nothing more. Their debut album abides by the laws that the genre’s fathers laid out for them: it clocks at just under 30 minutes (with no song over 3 minutes), it features a mix of covers and originals, and it keeps things at a guitar-bass-drums level, with the occasional piano and saxophone. None of the songs really breaks away from the formula, but then again The Sonics’ purpose was never to reinvent the wheel — they just wanted to play some rock n’ roll, and in that regard every single one of them comes off as a winner. Some may prefer their original compositions over the covers and that’s understandable given just how many bands at the time used to do these exact same songs. But one also can’t deny that the pounding energy of Little Richard’s “Good Golly Miss Molly,” the reckless hooligany of Rufus Thomas’ “Walkin’ the Dog” and the primal groove of Barrett Strong’s “Money” all feel right at home with The Sonics. In the case of “Have Love, Will Travel” we get the absolute definitive version of the song – a fuzz-ball of energy, riffs and screams that nobody ever managed to improve upon. Actually, you might as well apply that description to the originals too — “Strychnine” and “Psycho” in particular, the latter featuring front-man Gerry Roslie going ecstatically over the top with his screaming. Trying to dissect Here Are the Sonics even more would just take away from its charm – this is the type of record that attacks all of your senses once you put it on, even before the brain can make any rational decision about liking it or not. Some call it punk, but we have to remember that The Ramones and the rest were specifically trying to get back to this type of aesthetics and attitude 10 years later. Punk was born because of records like this, but The Sonics did not have any pretensions about keeping it minimalistic and simple – they just played the rock ‘n’ roll that they loved, the way they knew it. And the only way I can end this review is with an appropriate…“WHOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOW.” Photo: The Sonics by Dan Kitwood (courtesy Getty Images) Saw them many times at dance venues in the NW. Truth be told, the Fabulous Wailers were even better.

LAUREL, Md. (AP) - Maryland highway crews will be repaving a section of northbound Interstate 95 in one of the final segments of the Intercounty Connector project. The paving will require a week's worth of overnight road closures, starting at 8 p.m. Tuesday. Crews will strip the top layer of pavement, known as milling, and lay new asphalt on northbound I-95 between the Intercounty Connector interchange to just north of Sandy Spring Road. The State Highway Administration says the work is necessary to repair deteriorating pavement. Starting Wednesday, crews will close three lanes of traffic every night for a week between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m. Single lane closures will begin each night at 8 p.m. Drivers are advised to use alternate routes such as the Baltimore-Washington Parkway or U.S. Route 29.

Project Details Description Within the framework of the evaluation of manure legislation in 2016, a study was conducted into the experiences of farmers in this regard through in-depth interviews, a survey, and focus group meetings. The survey revealed that farmers are pleased with the existence of a manure policy and that they intend to continue complying with it closely, even if it should be tightened up further. However, they do not support the current manure policy and consider it to be risky for their business. The key problems that they experience are contradictory environmental objectives, reduced soil fertility, high costs and complexity, little room for customisation, and lack of flexibility. Solutions would be simpler and more flexible manure legislation with compensation and setoff options, a more coherent policy, a smoother process for issuing permits for manure processing, and greater focus on soil fertility. According to this survey, the attitude of the farmers towards the manure policy does not seem to be related to sector, soil type, income, stage of development, growth expectations for the company, or the extent to which farmers cover the area available to them for phosphate use with animal manure.

Tampa International Airport Projected to Hit Historic High Revenues in 2015 Budget For the first time in its history, Tampa International Airport’s operating revenues are expected to exceed $200 million in Fiscal Year 2015, a 3.3 percent increase over revenues budgeted for FY14, according to the budget approved Sept. 4 by the Hillsborough County Aviation Authority board. Growth in parking and concessions revenues account for much of the anticipated increase. Operating expenses are expected to increase 4.3 percent to $106.4 million in FY15, with most of the bump due to rising personnel costs. “This budget helps us accomplish our major goals, including diversifying our revenue and keeping our airline costs low,” said airport CEO Joe Lopano. “It also allows us to reward and retain our talented team and hire some more people as we move forward with our expansion program.” Most of the costs for the $943 million capital expansion, including a new consolidated rental car center and automated people mover, were included in the FY14 capital budget after completing a master plan update. The capital budget for FY15 tops $46 million. Projects include replacement of the parking revenue control system, upgrades to parking garages, airfield pavement rehabilitation and information technology that will improve efficiency, allow for more data analysis and support the airport’s efforts to move to a paperless environment. “It’s going to be a busy year in terms of capital projects as well as our continued marketing efforts to attract more air service to the airport,” Lopano said. “This budget makes sure we have what need to succeed.” The board approved 625 positions at the Aviation Authority, up from 603 in FY14. Meanwhile, the Aviation Authority anticipates ending FY15 with an airline cost per enplanement of $5.58, making Tampa International one of the country’s most affordable airports in its size category.

Manhunter Vol 3 28 this wiki esca Appearing in "Unleashed, Part Three: Blue By You" Featured Characters: Supporting Characters: Villains: - Everyman (disguised as Blue Beetle) - Doctor Trapp - Sacred Order of St. Dumas - Madmen Other Characters: - Michael Johnson - Terry Chase - Sasha Bordeaux - Maxwell Lord (Mentioned only) - Nomoz (Flashback only) Locations: Items: Vehicles: Synopsis for escape by using parachutes and crashing the Beetle ship into a nearby mountainside. Diana suspects that the Madmen's abrupt appearance must be the work of magic because there were no other flying crafts nearby. Diana explains to this supposed Ted Kord that his sudden resurrection could be damaging to her case like her justification for killing Maxwell Lord. Diana uses her lasso and Blue Beetle answers truthfully to all of her questions. Batman arrives and takes a blood sample from Ted since he doesn’t trust reliability of magic like Diana’s lasso. Kate heads back to her apartment and is taken by surprise when she finds Sasha Bordeaux waiting for her. Sasha explains to Kate that the prosecutor's visual exhibit of Diana killing Maxwell is doctored. The actual footage showed Maxwell goading Wonder Woman into killing him because he won't free Superman from his thrall. Meanwhile in Gotham, Trapp texts Cameron to go to Depeyster Street where the Justice Experience Wax Museum is located. Dylan waits for Cameron in a van nearby while Cameron enters the museum and is rudely greeted by the museum’s curator. Cameron tells the curator that she is Acrobat’s daughter and wants to take a look around. The curator leaves and Cameron makes her way to the exhibits and finds Terry. Cameron frees Terry but she is taken by surprise by Trapp who appears from the shadows. Dylan hears Cameron’s cries for help and heads to the museum but the doors are automatically shut as well as electrified. As for Shaw, the Order treat Shaw to a feast and ask him to drink a few pills that will reveal the source behind his visions. Shaw observes as the history of the Order transpires within his mind. The Knights of St. Dumas splintered from the Knight Templar. They raged their own righteous war during the Crusades When the Crusades ended, the Order withdrew from society with their accumulated wealth in order to avoid the corruption modernity. Throughout history, agents of the Order were hidden in the highest levels of society's infrastructure. When metahumans became more abundant in the new era, the Order took a more proactive direction by creating their champion that could combat metahumans. Their first candidate was Stephen Forrest Lee. Overtime, Lee became unhinged and was deemed a failure. The Order decided to genetically engineer their champion and Jean-Paul Valley upheld the ideals of the Order. Unfortunately, Jean-Paul Valley died at the hands of his enemies. The Order was observing Shaw's movements when he was overtaken by his Dumas personality and killing his Manhunter predecessors. They were impressed by his tenacity to overcome the demons that his government implanted in his mind. The Order has chosen Mark Shaw to be their next champion even though his bloodline has no correlation with theirs. Notes - This book was first published on February 7, 2007. - No special notes.

actix – a basic TCP client In our last post about actix we introduced you to the Rust programming language and the actix actor framework. This week we will build a basic TCP client with actix. Since we have written this blog post actix 0.6 was released with several breaking changes. The content of this blog post is conceptually still relevant though and the code examples should work fine if you make sure to use the correct dependency versions. The Goal Our goal in this blog post is to build an Actor that connects to a certain TCP server, listens for new messages and forwards them to another recipient actor. For simplicity we’ll assume that the server is using a line break after each message. Project Setup In our last post we explained that the easiest solution to install Rust is currently. Once you have followed the instructions there you should have access to the cargo build tool on your command line. Creating a new project for Rust is easy with cargo: cargo new actix-tcp-example This will create a new binary project for you with the basic file structures already in place. The cargo new command also supports a --lib option, which will create a library project instead. The difference between them is that binary projects have a main() function and get compiled to executables, while library projects are used to share code and functionality at crates.io. Fun fact: did you know that crates.io is an open-source project itself and built with Rust and Ember.js? Now that we have created the project let’s see if it runs: cargo run If everything went well you should see cargo compiling the project and afterwards running it, resulting in “Hello, world!” being printed in your Terminal. The Actor Before we can start to implement our TCP client actor we need to tell cargo about the actix dependency. For that we open the Cargo.toml file in the project and add the following line after the [dependencies] declaration: actix = "0.5" Now, whenever we build the project again, cargo will make sure to download the necessary dependencies from crates.io and build them before building the actual project. cargo is using a build cache though, so don’t worry if it takes a long time if you first try to build it. The following builds should be much faster. It’s time to implement a basic Actor as the base for our experiment. We don’t want to worry too much about project organization for now, so let’s implement it right in the src/main.rs file: extern crate actix; use actix::prelude::*; struct TcpClientActor; impl Actor for TcpClientActor { type Context = Context<Self>; } First we tell Rust that the actix module is coming from an external crate. Next we import the most important actix traits with the use keyword. And finally we implement the most basic Actor possible. Starting cargo run again will show us the following warning though: warning: struct is never used: `TcpClientActor` --> src/main.rs:5:1 | 5 | struct TcpClientActor; | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ | = note: #[warn(dead_code)] on by default … which makes sense since we haven’t actually used the actor anywhere yet. Let’s change that! We’ll update the main() function with a few lines of code that should start our actor and then wait for it to shutdown at some point: fn main() { let sys = actix::System::new("tcp-test"); let _tcp_client: Addr<Syn, _> = Arbiter::start(|_| TcpClientActor); sys.run(); } Let’s also add a started hook to our actor, so that we can see when it starts: impl Actor for TcpClientActor { type Context = Context<Self>; fn started(&mut self, ctx: &mut Self::Context) { println!("TcpClientActor started!"); } } If we use cargo run again, the “TcpClientActor started!” message should appear on the screen, and the app should keep running because we have implemented nothing that would stop the actor. First milestone achieved! 🎉 DNS resolution and TCP connection Now that we have setup the basic scaffolding of our Actor, let’s try to connect to a real TCP server. I’ll first show you the code and then we’ll discuss what it does step-by-step: use actix::actors::{Connect, Connector}; // ... fn started(&mut self, ctx: &mut Self::Context) { println!("TcpClientActor started!"); Connector::from_registry() .send(Connect::host("towel.blinkenlights.nl:23")) .into_actor(self) .map(|res, _act, ctx| match res { Ok(stream) => { println!("TcpClientActor connected!"); } Err(err) => { println!("TcpClientActor failed to connected: {}", err); ctx.stop(); } }) .map_err(|err, _act, ctx| { println!("TcpClientActor failed to connected: {}", err); ctx.stop(); }) .wait(ctx); } The first new thing here is Connector::from_registry(). actix comes with a small number of built-in actors and one of them is the so-called Connector. The Connector actor can be used to perform DNS lookups, or connect to remote servers via TCP, which is exactly what we want! The Connector::from_registry() function returns an Addr instance for the Connector and we can use the send() method on it to send a Connect message and wait for the answer (using a Future). Next we use the into_actor() modifier to transform the Future into another kind of Future, where we get passed not only the result, but also the actor instance and the context in any callbacks that we implement. This is helpful to work around the Rust compiler complaining about lifetime issues. Now we’re ready to use the result and we do so by implementing a callback for the map() method. We’ll keep it simple for now and just print a message to the terminal whether the connection was successful or not. Since we have to handle two different kinds of errors here ( ConnectorError and MailboxError) we have to implement two different error handlers too. They have the same code but since the error classes are different, they can’t easily share the same implementation unfortunately. Finally, we block the current thread using the wait() method until the Future is resolved. As usual, we will cargo run again and if everything works properly we should see “TcpClientActor connected!” being printed to the Terminal. Great! We have successfully opened up a TCP connection to the towel.blinkenlights.nl server and if you’re curious what kind of server that is: keep reading! 😉 Reading TCP streams For the next part we’ll need two more dependencies: tokio-io and tokio-codec. tokio is the low-level network IO library that actix is using underneath. The version of actix that we are currently using (v0.5.8) has dependencies on v0.1 of the tokio libraries, so to avoid unnecessary conflicts we will use the same versions. Let’s add the new dependencies to the Cargo.toml file: tokio-codec = "0.1" tokio-io = "0.1" and the necessary extern crate definitions to the top of the src/main.rs file: extern crate tokio_codec; extern crate tokio_io; We will also add the imports that we’ll soon use already: use tokio_codec::{FramedRead, LinesCodec}; use tokio_io::AsyncRead; You may have noticed that when we ran cargo run earlier the compiler was complaining about the stream variable not being used. Let’s fix that by reading something from the TCP stream. A TcpStream in the context of tokio is the wording for the TCP connection between a client and a server, and includes both the read and write parts of the connection. Since we only care about the read part for now we should split the stream into the two parts and focus on the read part for now: Ok(stream) => { println!("TcpClientActor connected!"); let (r, w) = stream.split(); } Now we have a read part ( r) that we can call read() on and a write part ( w) that we could call write() on. Unfortunately the Read and Write traits only operate on u8 arrays though, so for our purpose of reading strings separated by line breaks this isn’t quite a user friendly as we would like. Fortunately, tokio has a solution for that: let line_reader = FramedRead::new(r, LinesCodec::new()); This combination of LinesCodec and FramedRead from the tokio-codecs crate can be used to work with the Read trait in a more comfortable way. The FramedRead instance acts as an asynchronous stream of values that we could call poll() on, or we’ll attach it to the actor in a more convenient way by implementing the StreamHandler trait from actix: impl StreamHandler<String, std::io::Error> for TcpClientActor { fn handle(&mut self, line: String, _ctx: &mut Self::Context) { println!("{}", line); } } and then connecting all the pieces together via: ctx.add_stream(line_reader); right below the line that constructs the FramedRead instance. I won’t spoiler anything, but take a bit of time and see what happens now if you start cargo run again… 🚀 Forward messages to other actors In case you’re still reading, let’s implement the final part of our goal: forwarding received messages to another actor. Before we can forward any messages we first need to define how such a message will look like. As explained in the last blog post about actix we can do so by implementing the Message trait, or deriving it automatically in most cases: #[derive(Message)] pub struct ReceivedLine { pub line: String, } Now that we know how the message looks like we should implement a second actor that can receive such messages and print them to the terminal: pub struct ConsoleLogger; impl Actor for ConsoleLogger { type Context = Context<Self>; } impl Handler<ReceivedLine> for ConsoleLogger { type Result = (); fn handle(&mut self, message: ReceivedLine, _ctx: &mut Context<Self>) { println!("{}", message.line); } } At this point the above implementation should contain no surprises anymore. The ConsoleLogger actor implementation looks roughly like the other actors we have already implemented in this and the previous blog post. All it does is listen for ReceivedLine messages, and print them to the terminal once received. Next, we will need to adjust our TcpClientActor implementation to no longer print messages by itself, but instead forward them to the second actor. For that the TcpClientActor needs to know where to send them. We could save the Addr<_, ConsoleLogger> instance in the TcpClientActor struct, but that would create a tight coupling between those actors, and we want the TcpClientActor implementation to be as generic as possible. The more generic solution is to use the Recipient struct of actix: struct TcpClientActor { recipient: Recipient<Syn, ReceivedLine>, } Afterwards we change the StreamHandler implementation to this: impl StreamHandler<String, io::Error> for TcpClientActor { fn handle(&mut self, line: String, _ctx: &mut Self::Context) { if let Err(error) = self.recipient.do_send(ReceivedLine { line }) { println!("do_send failed: {}", error); } } } This implementation will try to send a ReceivedLine message to the recipient and print an error to the terminal if it fails. The final missing piece now is to start the ConsoleLogger actor in the main() function and pass its address to the TcpClientActor: fn main() { let sys = actix::System::new("tcp-test"); let _logger: Addr<Syn, _> = Arbiter::start(|_| ConsoleLogger); let _tcp_client: Addr<Syn, _> = Arbiter::start(|_| { TcpClientActor { recipient: _logger.recipient() } }); sys.run(); } After everything is assembled back together let’s use cargo run again and we will see that everything still works! 🎥 Summary We hope that by now you’re a little more comfortable around actors and how to use and implement them in Rust. This blog post has shown how two actors can work together without any tight coupling other than the messages they exchange. We have also demonstrated how to use an actor as a TCP client, which can be used as a gateway for other actors that want to share the same connection to the server. In the next blog post of this series we will explore how to send messages and keep connections and actors alive using the Supervisor. 👋

When you have already moved in however the apartment will not be as per your fashion, you will need to go searching for a minute or so to search out out the rationale behind it. Just give an extra thought that your bare partitions aren’t the explanation of it. Naked walls can make the whole atmosphere boring and depressing. Even if you have limited finances, you’ll be able to beautify your partitions to change the entire outlook of the apartment. Ideas for Renting an Apartment in Brooklyn. A. One of the simplest ways is to tell me as much as you’ll be able to about what your looking for in a condo, data such as measurement, how much you prefer to walk, what you wish to be near, variety of bedrooms and or loos, how necessary a view is, amenities you want to have in the building, budgeted price range, and so on. Since your visiting my website, I can let you know like to do some research by yourself. My number one on line suggestion, could be to visit the automated “Choice Information” listed within the above menu (in purple). Reply ten a number of alternative questions and I have built a program to recommend some condo buildings based in your answers. Be real looking in your solutions or it will not be able to search out any buildings that suit your preferences. In different words, do not say you need “great views” and in addition say you want a “low value range” as a result of that combination doesn’t exist. In abstract, condominiums can make great rental properties, create constructive cash stream with a minimum funding and require lower upkeep however they can also carry substantial risk. It is not a superb investment if it might probably’t be financed and conversely can’t be offered as a result of it will probably’t be financed. As all the time, location is practically all the things when shopping for actual estate but when buying a condo there may be homework to be carried out. The lender will shield the customer by conducting their viability investigation however it is best to keep away from writing purchase contracts on properties that may’t be financed. A realtor skilled in condominium sales, members of the association, and neighbors might provide the answers the buyer must make a buying decision. Query: I’m married to a Thai. Austville @ Sengkang. I discover it a very good factor that we now see some (hopefully fierce) competitors on this space and in the future this may most likely improve the Thailand foreigner’s position with several banks making an attempt to outdo the opposite events with more competitive charges.

Such an apartment has kitchen utensils and home equipment corresponding to fridge, washer, TV set, and even an web connection.

Big ideas, smaller screen What started as a tool to create levels internally within Nintendo for Mario games, became Super Mario Maker, one of the most beloved Wii U titles which more than 3 million players have been able to enjoy. The dream of being able to craft your own Mario levels were finally a reality, and a multitude of players poured their creativity into their stages, which they then shared with the world. In many ways, this was Nintendo’s 2D answer to Minecraft. A Mario game created by you and only limited by your own imagination. This was also Nintendo’s ‘Thank You’ to all of their lifelong fans as well as a very welcoming entry to their sidescrolling platformer for those little ones yet to embrace the Italian Plumber (my son loved creating his own levels at age 3 when it launched on the Wii U). Finally, back in September of this year, Nintendo announced via a Direct that Super Mario Maker would be making its way to the Nintendo 3DS. Seeing the game in motion on the handheld, I was quickly bombarded with the amazing possibilities this would bring. The ebullience of being able to see both screens closer together and edit without having to take your eyes off one to look at the other. The jubilation of taking the 3DS version with me anywhere, affording me the opportunity to craft challenging levels on the go and then upload them to the network and towards the Wii U sitting in my living room, waiting for my kids to arrive home and partake in my very own version of the Red Wedding, right inside Bowser’s castle. The video continued, explaining what this iteration would bring, only to send my joy crashing down into the lava pit mere moments later. That some of the features wouldn’t be able to make it from the home console to its much smaller little brother? Understandable. That the little brother would arrive dirty, without shoes, only one sock, and having no sense of how to communicate with its big brother? Unforgiving. Yet, I was reluctant to cast a negative shadow over the pocket sized creator, expecting Nintendo to listen once again to their most loyal fans and make the proper changes to attain the full potential of such a great idea. Alas, that never came to pass. Don’t get me wrong. Super Mario Maker 3DS is the ultimate world building tool available at your fingertips and without having you constrained to a TV, but it is still hard to look past all the potential and promises that could have come to fruition, which I as well as many others envisioned during those brief first moments of its reveal. Let’s talk about what we have first. Encompassing three decades of Mario games, Super Mario Maker 3DS offers you four skins for you to create your own Mario adventures, ranging from the Plumber’s pixelated beginnings with Super Mario Bros., to the current HD style of New Super Mario Bros. U. Although the game is transitioning from its 720p version (Wii U TV resolution) or 480p (Wii U GamePad) to the Nintendo 3DS screen (240p), the presentation is near flawless. The smaller and less powerful handheld is more than capable of handling and adapting Super Mario Maker Wii U and its four distinct style templates, with the only real noticeable exception being New Super Mario Bros. U which is the only one of the four styles to have its native format available in HD. This slideshow requires JavaScript. Gone is the need to edit levels or wait days in order to unlock some of the tools. The 3DS version comes with all four templates already unlocked (Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World, and New Super Mario Bros. U), whereas the Wii U version has two to begin with (Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. U). A smaller amount of tools is available on the Wii U game to start with versus the amount found on its 3DS brethren. The 3DS game has removed the ’10 Mario Challenge’ in favor of a new mode called the ‘Super Mario Challenge‘, which can be categorized as the “Story Mode” of the game, and beating it helps you complete your tool box. Medal Challenges help differentiate the game from its Wii U counterpart and give additional replayability to the levels. Each level features two Medal Challenges, which can ask you to beat a level without jumping, using power-ups, or finishing a stage without moving left among other things. The game also provides the opportunity to share editing responsibilities between two users. One player can start the creation of a level, and then have another player contribute to it, awarding a collaboration icon on the level to show the people that were responsible. Super Mario Maker 3DS asks you to forget about a community that was already established and instead get together with your friends to share and create. The problem is that there is less incentive in building levels when instead of having a potential crowd of millions play it, you are just limited to your own friends. Let’s talk about what we don’t have. When you first turn on the game you are introduced to the loading screen. A bird is pecking at some food and it takes so long that you would assume bird ate more than its own weight. Luckily, once this initial install is finished, you do not need to wait long for the game to load when you turn it back on. Although Super Mario Maker on the Wii U did not make it easy to be able to share courses with your friends, it did allow you to upload them for everyone else to see and play, rate it and recommend it. The 3DS version does not allow you to upload levels online. Instead, levels can only be shared over Street Pass or locally with another player who has the game. Also, you could search for Recommended Courses based on IDs specific to them, difficulty, rankings, and new releases. The 3DS version only lets you search by difficulty or refreshing the courses that appear, showing a different selection when you do. Super Mario Maker 3DS has no Amiibo support, and because of this, the game lacks the ‘Mystery Mushroom’ outfits of the Wii U version, which in turn eliminates Event Courses from the game. Adding sound is another feature that has been removed, perhaps because they needed to fit this game into a smaller format. 3D functionality is completely absent and this removes an additional wrinkle that could have helped make this an unique experience. What could have been. Super Mario Maker 3DS is both fun and equally frustrating. If you never played the Wii U version, it will be an amazing experience realizing all those ideas you had before on how to design your very own Mario levels. It will be even better if you have a friend or family member who owns a copy of the game, so you can share ideas and bounce levels off of each other. If you spent reasonable time with the Wii U version, not much is there on the 3DS. It is understandable that some stages are just not possible on the 3DS version because of their size, but Nintendo should have established a set size or total amount of objects that can be used so that both levels could be available on both formats. Although limiting, this could have led to even more creative ways on how to prioritize length and tools and possibly lead to amazing creations. Both version of the game could have been linked to a single Nintendo Account, making it possible for people that already played and unlocked all the tools on the Wii U version, to have those available from the very beginning on the 3DS. Instead, you have to gather them all over again instead of going straight into world building. Perhaps we will be receiving a third and final version of the game for the Nintendo Switch and that this time, the game will be able to live to our (sometimes unreasonable) expectations. Final Word Super Mario Maker 3DS is a fun experience that allows you to create your very own Mario levels and share them among your family and friends. Just don’t expect the full Wii U version to be found on the smaller and less powerful 3DS. -Sergio- Super Mario Maker is now available on the Nintendo 3DS for $39.99.

Dental technology has advanced greatly in the last 30 years and patients with missing or damaged teeth now have several effective treatment options available to them. While, dental bridges are the long established and currently less expensive means of replacing missing teeth and restoring your smile, dental implants are fast eclipsing them in popularity in recent years. But what is the difference between a dental bridge vs. implant? Which tooth replacement option is right for you? Most dentists including Dr. Richard W. Van Gurp of Van Gurp General, Implant & Cosmetic Dentistry in Charlotte, NC prefer implants due to their strength, longevity and ease of care. However, a number of factors need to be considered, including if your tooth loss is recent or happened years ago. Practical Reasons for Both In the past, a dental bridge was the go-to treatment for a missing tooth. A dental bridge replaces the missing tooth with a crown that is held in place by two adjacent teeth which are also crowned in the process. This preparation for mounting it involves removing most of the enamel from the adjacent teeth in order to attach the bridge. However, in the case of dental implants, Dr. Van Gurp will embed the base of the implant directly into the jaw bone resulting in a prosthetic tooth that is stronger and permanent. If the neighboring teeth have numerous fillings or are suffering from severe tooth decay, a dental bridge may be the preferred option since the crowns that will support the bridge (known as abutments in dental terminology) can repair the damaged teeth. If the tooth or teeth were lost a long time ago, the gum and bone that once supported them may have eroded and procedures to strengthen the tissue — such as bone grafts- may be necessary before placement. The advantages and disadvantages to both procedures can ultimately be elaborated on by Dr. Van Gurp at a consultation. Your Oral Care Routine Your ability to perform routine daily hygiene will be easier with an implant. Dental bridges are cemented in the mouth, and involve at least three crowns permanently connected together to fill the space of the missing tooth. The nature of this design can make brushing and flossing difficult, so it is important to be meticulous when cleaning. Flossing can be particularly difficult as it will require an additional step to thread the floss under the false tooth to prevent gum disease from setting in. Implants replace teeth individually without affecting your neighboring teeth. You can brush and floss around an implant exactly as you would your natural teeth, making routine oral hygiene much easier and more effective. Durability Dental implants last their recipients longer than bridges — possibly a lifetime. Due to the fact that the implant screws are made of titanium, they are themselves immune to decay. The titanium naturally bonds with your jaw bone tissue in a process called osseointegration. Although the implant itself is resistant to decay, you must still care for your gums and surrounding teeth or you may still be at risk of implant failure. On the other hand, the average life of a dental bridge, is only about 10 years at which point the entire bridge will need to be replaced due to normal wear and tear. Also, because a portion of your natural tooth still lives beneath it, the tooth will continue to be susceptible to decay and gum disease. Cost Comparison The cost of the dental bridge is less initially but, since it will need to be replaced at some point in the future, it may cost more in the long run. Implants – from preparation to final placement – are more expensive, but the implant itself will last for decades if properly maintained. Additionally, many dental insurance providers will pay for the crown of your implant to be replaced. Dental Implants in Charlotte, NC Whichever option you and your dentist decide is best for you is better than living with the embarrassment and difficulty that come with missing teeth. Although bridges are initially more affordable and established tooth restoration method, dental implants are becoming more and more popular and are often the preferred treatment for replacing missing teeth due to their durability and ease of care. If you are considering dental implants, you will want to see a trusted dentist in your area for the procedure.

Are Reeves belts “solid” or do they come with the cog back for lower loss and smoother running? I ask this as both some drill presses and lathes have this feature. Am I trading ease of use for more vibration? A third option is the one Jet that uses step multi-groove poly belts. They should be smoother than V-belts of equal quality. MrUnix 7809 posts in 2870 days #1 posted 02-18-2020 02:25 AM I can tell no difference between a stepped pulley or a reeves drive pulley… they are both equally as smooth. Reeves drive obviously is just a bit easier to change speeds with. I say just a bit, as I have had lathes with step pulleys that were trivial to change speeds on, taking just a few seconds with only one hand. Some others are a bit more difficult, depending on design, and may require removing panels, removing tension first, etc… As for the belts… it depends. Some reeves drives, such as the one on my Jet, use a standard V belt. Other more robust reeves drives, like on my Powermatic, take a belt that looks much like a wide cogged serpentine belt. I have never known a cogged belt to run smoother in general. Their primary function is to allow smaller diameter sheaves to be used (eg: bend tighter with less fatigue). Cheers,Brad PS: It has also been my experience that a variable speed motor (like via a VFD) is no smoother than any other properly belted system (stepped pulley or reeves drive). With the exception of a direct drive setup, they are all still transmitting power through a pulley system of some kind. -- Brad in FL - In Dog I trust... everything else is questionable Paul Stoops 356 posts in 3232 days #2 posted 02-18-2020 03:23 AM My Wen Drill Press with a Reeves Drive is noticeably noisier than my old Grizzly vee belt drive. -- Paul, Auburn, WA HokieKen 12733 posts in 1810 days #3 posted 02-18-2020 01:21 PM I think Reeves drives vary greatly in quality of design and construction. I have a PM 90 lathe with a Reeves drive that is robust and smooth as silk. On the other hand, some other vintage lathes are plagued with owners who have constant problems with the Reeves drive and can’t get parts for them. So, in general, the overall experience with a Reeves drive will likely depend on who made it and how well it is designed and implemented. Just comparing apples-to-apples though, like Brad said, I don’t see any difference in vibration or noise for power transmitted via a sliding sheave vs a stepped pulley. If all other things in the drive system are equal, I don’t think you would be able to tell a difference. -- Kenny, SW VA, Go Hokies!!! #4 posted 02-18-2020 02:23 PM Much thanks. I noticed the range of adjustment on many of the Reeves drives is not wide enough, so a fair portion of the time, I would be changing pulleys anyway. WEN and Rikon drill presses for example. Old Delta and Powermatics do it in one range. Looking at lathes, even if a pulley to change range, as one goes from rough to fine, likely to do smaller adjustments until finish work. Slowly being convinced in DVR technology. #5 posted 02-18-2020 02:37 PM Electronic is the more robust solution. Of course you gotta pay for it. We have 30+ year old Clausing drill presses at work with Reeves drives and as far as I know, none of them have ever had a failure of the drive train. They still make them with mechanical VS too. Of course, you still gotta pay for it ;-) RobHannon 335 posts in 1202 days #6 posted 02-18-2020 03:08 PM Depends. In good working order they are generally the same feeling as far as vibration, but when something goes wrong the additional moving parts can make problems more noticeable/worse. A worn belt or a belt with a flat spot is going to effect a reeves pulley more significantly than a step or single pulley. The reeves pulley has more places for material to

8 Effective Home Remedies For Hair Bumps Hair bumps, more commonly known as razor bumps, are little bumps that appear on your skin after shaving goes wrong. You may have shaved against the grain, or not have used the right amount of shaving cream, or a number of other things that could have caused a razor bump to form. Whatever the cause, this article can teach you how you can prevent razor bumps from forming, and what you can do when you do get them with simple home remedies. #1. Use New Razors One of the best natural remedies to avoid getting hair bumps is to make sure that you use a new or recently sharpened razor when you want to shave. It is suggested that you should change your razor every week if you shave every day. If you shave less than that then you can get a new razor less often. You can also sharpen your razor blade in lieu of getting a new razor. Disposable razors should only be used once before they are thrown away. #2. Use Shaving Cream Using shaving cream can make getting hair bumps less likely. As a general rule, the thicker the shaving cream, the better it should be able to help you. Also, if you have sensitive skin you may want to use a shaving cream that is not scented, as the chemicals used to make the scents can often irritate the skin. Apply the shaving cream to your skin generously before you begin shaving. #3. Exfoliate It may be wise to exfoliate your skin before you shave. This home remedy helps to prepare your skin for shaving and makes it all the less likely that you will have to suffer with hair bumps after you shave. Exfoliating your skin can be as simple as giving yourself a quick massage, or you can use a sugar or salt scrub. To do this, add a tablespoon of salt or sugar to a wet washcloth and rub this over the area of skin you want to shave for a couple of minutes. This should help to prepare your skin for shaving. #4. Shaving Tips There are a few things that you can do to make shaving less likely to give you razor bumps. Along with the three natural remedies listed above, you are less likely to get hair bumps if you shave while showering. The water from the shower will keep your skin moist, which lessens the chance that you will not get a hair bump. Also. shave with the grain instead of against it. You may not get the cleanest shave this way, but it should help to prevent hair bumps. #5. Don’t Scratch If you do get hair bumps after shaving don’t scratch them. This can cause the bumps to bleed and possibly even become infected. If you do scratch some of your bumps and they start to bleed, then you should clean the area with warm soapy water. And then put a small bandage over the area so that it does not become infected. #6. Aloe Vera Gel If your hair bumps are itchy, then you can use aloe vera gel as a natural home remedy to ease the itch. Once you are dry, apply some aloe vera gel to your skin. This should also help the area from becoming inflamed if you have accidentally cut yourself while shaving. You can apply aloe vera twice a day to get the best results. #7. Moisturizer Moisturizers can also help to make your skin feel a little better after you get a hair bump. Apply body moisturizer on your skin after shaving to prevent your bumps from making your skin itchy and dry. It is best to use unscented moisturizer if you have sensitive skin. You can also use cocoa butter or shea butter as natural remedies. #8. Waxing The only natural remedy to be absolutely sure that you won’t get hair bumps is to not use a razor to get rid of hair. You can simply let your hair grow out, or you can take up waxing. Waxing may be more painful. But it is often more effective, getting rid of more hair and keeping it away for longer periods of time. Hopefully, these natural home remedies can help with cure your hair bumps.

The UK Supreme Court today unanimously dismissed appeals by China’s Huawei and ZTE in patent disputes over mobile data technology with Unwired Planet International and Conversant Wireless. It is the first time that a UK court has issued a decision on what constitutes a fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND) commitment to licence standard-essential patents (SEPs).... The Supreme Court today said it had unanimously dismissed both appeals. A Huawei spokesperson said: “Huawei has already made payments to Unwired Planet according to the agreement set by UK court and has settled with Unwired Planet’s parent company, PanOptis. As a result, no additional sums fall due as a result of this ruling. “With respect to Conversant, this decision was a preliminary ruling on jurisdiction and the proceedings will now continue with the UK Frand [fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory] trial scheduled for February 2021. “Huawei continues to advocate a balanced position in relation to Frand licenses of standard essential patents, which is critical to the innovation that brings enormous benefits to our society.” Conversant’s chief executive ‘madness’ of country-by-country licensing and related litigation,” “This helps level the playing field when small companies are trying to license SEP portfolios to global giants with seemingly limitless litigation resources.”. “We greatly appreciate the efforts our UK counsel: EIP Legal, Osborne Clarke and the UK barristers. The expertise, creativity and determination of the combined legal teams were truly exceptional.” The judgment could potentially have far-reaching consequences, including a greater volume of litigation over technology patents in the UK, satellite litigation in other European countries, and increased clarity on the rates businesses reliant on communications technologies will need to pay to use the technology. A patent that protects technology believed to be essential to implementing a standard is termed a standard-essential patent (SEP). fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory (FRAND) terms. The FRAND rate is agreed between the parties by commercial negotiation, but sometimes disputes arise as to what constitutes ‘FRAND’. If the SEP holder and the technology implementer cannot agree on FRAND licence terms, these will require determination by a tribunal. The courts in England and Wales have indicated their willingness to do this. Arty Rajendra, UK head of IP disputes at Osborne Clarke, said: “We are thrilled for Unwired Planet. The Supreme Court judgement endorses Unwired Planet’s consistent position that a global licence is Frand and ensures it receives fair royalties for its SEP portfolio without having to litigate all over the world. “Implementers complain this is a high price for access to the UK market, but because the UK court is determining terms of a global Frand licence, implementers can also legally manufacture and sell their products on a worldwide basis without fear of infringing the SEP owner’s multinational patent rights.”

Kate Curnow recommends a number of items for the ADR Reading List today relating to the issue of bargaining in the shadow of the law. Bargaining in the shadow of law theory and research into why the ‘haves’ come out ahead have been key to shaping my DR research because of what they show about the role and nature of ‘law’ in dispute resolution. In terms of bargaining in the shadow of law, obviously the classic original piece by Robert Mnookin and Lewis Kornhauser, ‘Bargaining in the Shadow of the Law: The Case of Divorce’ (1979) 88 Yale Law Journal 950 is a must read. Becky Batagol and Thea Brown, Bargaining in the Shadow of the Law: The Case of Family Mediation (Themis Press, 2011) contains a great analysis of subsequent development of Mnookin and Kornhauser’s original theory by other authors and further refinement of the theory itself through empirical research. On the why the ‘haves’ come out ahead, a great starting point is Marc Galanter, ‘Why the “Haves” Come out Ahead: Speculations on the Limits of Legal Change’ (1974) 9 Law and Society Review 95.

The validity of Scientific Method and Kuhn's 'Incommensurability' Created | Updated Jun 23, 2003 Humanity, for motivations which continue to be points of contention, have an insurmountable inclination towards scientific progress, whatsoever this may be. The scientific revolution in the 16th century, commencing with the publication of Copernicus's (in)famous treatise on the motions of the planets served as a huge jump in the method of scientific thought, and the musings of such influential figures as Bacon on inductivism serve as an excellent indication of the colossal change of thought which occurred around this time. In spite of the relative continuity of scientific thought since then, ideas of quantum and theoretical physics (and notably cosmology) have served - again - to cause scientists to question the way in which they have thought. This essay attempts to present some commonly accepted resolutions to problems surrounding scientific thought, and propose ideas which solve the problems inherent in these, for better understanding of the field. Science and the philosopher For scientists, this manner of advancement has unquestioningly been their preserve, and has been relatively tacitly taken to be, simply, 'the way in which things are done'. But the philosopher, as Wittgenstein famously said, "[showing] the fly the way out of the bottle", it seems, finds it in his or her job description to question those aspects of 'common sense' which are, perhaps, a little less than sensical, and so the questioning of the true validity or legitimacy of 'scientific progress' serves as a bone of contention amongst philosophers of science. Science and philosophy Quite simply, one might say, dropping an idea simply because it seems wrong and starting afresh seems little more than instrumentalist*, and whilst the scientific revolution marked a large change of this sort, this is the way in which scientists function in everyday life, from the internal workings of amino acids in animals to the motion of fundamental particles in an electromagnetic accelerator. When a new idea comes along which better justifies (or explains) the way in which the world works than the ideas which came before it, we leap upon it, either using it as a replacement for the ideas we (as hypothetical scientists) already had, or corroborating our existing ideas with new data and hypothesising a form of synthesis of previous theses. In light of the fact that these scientifically invalidated ideas were at one point seen to have validity, and in some (supposedly objective) sense seen to be true, however, how can scientific progress be a coherent notion? For science to judge that an idea is invalid, it must look from the perspective of the new ideas, and in this sense, science is simply defined by the latest or best-accepted ideas. Even disregarding the relative subjectivity of science (in that there are always competing theses, and we have no real way of telling which will become generally scientifically accepted to the point at which they serve as an objective measure of other forms of science), this seems to be a fallacy: a simple self-perpetuating system. How, then, do we have any sort of scientific progress, given that our ideas simply seem to change amorphously, with no visible ascension to anything towards which our hypothesising might be seen as progress? Where Kuhn fits into it For Kuhn, a figure from the 20th century significant in Philosophy of Science mostly as a result of his seminal work 'The Structure of Scientific Revolutions' ("Considered one of 'The Hundred Most Influential Books Since the Second World War'" as the back cover of the University of Chicago Press third edition states), the question at stake here is simply summed up by one term, present in the title: 'incommensurability'. Kuhn's argument here - a riposte to those who argue that science is purely instrumental - is fundamentally summed up thusly; that there is no scientific statement which may claim to be objectively true, in light of two major facts. Fundamentally, all observational data, Kuhn (and Feyerabend, a contemporary of Kuhn), is interpreted in light of scientific theorising, and so there is no way in which corroboration may be claimed which sufficiently justifies paradigms' states as objective truth. Secondly, he states that - further to scientific theories not being (properly) justified with relation to objective empirical evidence - scientific theories are in fact judged after having passed through the interests, biases, and sensibilities of the scientists involved, the overall picture here being one of relativism, and supremely sceptical relativism at that, the ultimate conclusion being one of empirical observation having little (if any) value. Kuhn's incommensurability, then (a term, coincidentally, alighted upon by Feyerabend independently in order to describe the same phenomena), is simply a question of different ideas being incompatible. As Ladyman* writes: "Incommensurability is a term from mathematics which means 'lack of common measure'."The Ladyman summary of this is curt, but thorough: he states that; Kuhn likens a paradigm change to a 'gestalt switch' of the kind one experiences when alternately seeing the picture above as a duck and then a rabbit" A critique of kuhn It is to be noted that this is neither 'the truth', nor a commonly accepted opposition of Kuhn's ideas - simply another perspective, which makes sense to be presented in compliment to his ideas. In understand philosophy, it almost always helps to have a dialectic of opposing ideas - indeed, this is how almost all of Plato's work is written (as 'dialogues') This, however, incorporates an idea of the underlying truth being the same, the sense data which cause us to believe X scientific theory ultimately remaining the same. A given sense datum remains the same, the underlying picture, despite Kuhn's empirical relativism, being that of a world which is - if not inherently rational, this being another argument altogether - at least to some degree coherent; we are able to observe contiguity in the way in which things behave, this being the basis for inductivism. This, surely, at least serves to diminish the significance of Kuhn's argument, if not to any degree refute it; if we are able to at least identify patterns in the way in which the world operates, then this invalidates any conception that empirical observation is invalid, by nature of the fact that - before alighting upon a scientific theory - we are able to commonly agree on certain things. Without agreeing on a common model of universal motion of planets (be it heliocentric or otherwise), we are able to acknowledge that, given a commonly agreed fixed scale (something so arbitrary that little consternation should be shed over the fact that people do not necessarily agree to, or in practice happen to, measure things in totally similar ways) X planet moves in Y plane of motion (or, more simply, moves through Z collection of points). There are commonalities in the universe, in other words, which we can agree on BEFORE trying to explain them. Kuhn's invalidation of scientific terms, then, is surely also to be questioned: if we take it as red that there are commonalities in the universe, scientific terms may in fact be applied simply as descriptors of what events come to pass; whether or not we agree, as aforementioned, that the sun is the centre of the galaxy (or universe, in the case of recent cosmology), we may at least acknowledge the motion of the bodies in question, drawing us to a common conception of the notion of the word motion. This seems more than a little like the argument which states that we cannot make any meaningful statements about the world simply because our conception of language is universal (with relation to realism). Quite patently, we do not have the same words applying to precisely the same sets of sense data. However, the descriptors we have attached are sufficiently similar that we can make (relatively) meaningful statements about the world. Similarly, our common set of scientific vocabulary are not exactly correspondent to each other (by nature of the fact that they evolve as new ideas come to fruition), but they are not sufficiently blurred as to become ambiguous to the point at which scientific hypothesising becomes immaterial and invalidated. Kuhn, to the mind of the author, seems also to have missed one extremely important (and also extremely common-sensical) point. We assemble scientific theories by pattern abduction, fundamentally, and in doing so, we have the best possible explanation which, by a combination of empiricism and rationale, we may assemble. Science as an, ceteris paribus*, even playing field, is one in which any informed person by participate, and by nature of intellectual critique (much in the same manner as philosophy) travels in a direction steered by the work done on it by all concerned. Criticisms of a given theory in science (more definitely than in philosophical circles) may be seen to invalidate aspects of (or the whole of) said theory, and in doing so, science advances. Our conception of the way in which science 'is', then, is based on the degree to which we can criticise what we already know. If, then, we come to the realisation that our system of belief is invalid and that another would be preferential - and as a consequence, alight on this belief - how is this deemed be to to any degree nonsensical (the implication of a critical application of the question raised), and why is this statement valid? It is far preferential, one would assume, to advance in this manner (and thusly progress) than stick to an old and outdated mode of belief. Some form of conclusion Whilst we may live happily in the knowledge that our scientific beliefs (if, indeed, we hold any) are the latest in a lineage of invalidated paradigms, this does not to any degree invalidate the scientific theory which we hold at the minute. A pertinent example: As personal computers have advanced, I have - over the course of the last 12 years - posessed somewhere close to 20 different computers, for better or worse. As technology has advanced, I have bought four computers new, in the knowledge that in a few years time, the computer in question would be - to most purposes - useless. (Many more, I have bought out of sheer interest, having an interest in old computers, both for the purposes of better understanding the newer, more complex machines which evolved from them, and simply out of a sense of interested nostalgia).The computers, however, have not been diminished in any way by the fact that they were simply right for their given time, nor does this apply to science. At some point in the far future, we may alight upon a set of paradigms (or, indeed, a simple paradigm which describes everything) to adequately describe the world for as far into the future as it is possible to envisage. (Similarly, there will indubitably emerge a point sufficiently far in the future at which the consumer computer market will freeze, there being simply no need for more advanced hardware). However, up until that point, what science, the computing industry, and - indeed - the intellectual pursuit of philosophy provide are the best which they can do at the time, and the constant re-evaluation, re-statement, and redesigning of what we already know, have, and understand is neither a bad thing nor the gestalt paradigmatic shift which Kuhn seems to associate relativity with in an apathetic, cynical way: quite simply, there is logic in the way in which all three of these to some degree comparable fields advance, and - in being so - we cannot legitimately say that scientific progress does not make sense, even if we do not subscribe to any or all of its dogma. further reading Further reading pertinent to the subject may be found in the following books, which served to assist the author in his preparation of these entry, and all of which explore the problem in more depth.

Michele was spotted out and about in L.A. with rumored new beau Matthew Paetz, the first public sighting since news of their budding relationship broke a few weeks earlier. See the pics! The two met on the set of Michele's music video for "On My Way,” in which Paetz, a lifestyle coach and sometime model, shows up as one of Michele's friends. A source close to the actress told UsWeekly.com, "It's still very new, but they are enjoying each other's company. Lea's not stupid, so she's not jumping into anything. So far, it's an honest and happy relationship. Whatever his past may be, their current relationship is based on honesty." Paetz is the first guy Michele has publicly dated since Monteith’s death in July 2013. The insider added, "They are both supportive of each other and what each other has been through in the past. They make a good team. Lea's friends say he's a great guy and dotes on her. Lea's found some happiness again." Has Lea Michele Found a New Man? “Glee” star Lea Michele may finally be moving on after the death of boyfriend Cory Monteith a year ago.

Yang Chen could tell what she was planning to do. “Say it.” “I want to murder him…” Yang Chen grinned. “That doesn’t sound appropriate coming from a police officer. You’re planning to handle this all by yourself?” Cai Yan nodded with a bitter expression. Her voice was solemn as she said, “I’ve always thought we should arrest the bad guys and bring them to justice. Only by punishing them according to the law can society be protected. Only, now I’ve realized that law and regulations don’t work all the time. I’ve never thought about it this way because it has never happened to me. I’m too naive…” “You’re not naive. The law and regulations aren’t good enough. At least this time, they lost to wealth, power, and even massive people.” Cai Yan was quiet for a moment before saying, “Let’s go to Lei Zhengfu’s place, I…I want to avenge Xiao Ye with my own hands.” Yang Chen naturally obliged to her request. He wouldn’t even flinch even if he had to wipe out his family, as long as it made her happy. Since Lei Zhengfu’s mansion was in town, they went straight to his house right after leaving the hospital. While they were on their way there, Cai Yan received a call from the police station, but she hung up shortly after. Yang Chen chuckled when he saw her icy expression. “Was that Zhang Guoping’s uncle?” “Mmh,” Cai Yan answered while driving. “Zhou Zhidong made his wife enter the Agricultural Bank headquarters by abusing his powers as a director of the Public Security Department. He’s corrupted. I’ve never liked him.” “Then, just ignore him. Who cares what he says. I’ll kill him if he dares to do anything to you.” Yang Chen chuckled. Cai Yan looked at him with a loving gaze, finally smiling. “I can now understand why you can still stay cheerful, even after experiencing immeasurable pain. You do it by simplifying things and killing those who cross you, am I right?” “Don’t make it sound so easy, and not everyone can do it. I’m different from others because they can’t do anything about the people I’ve killed.” “I’ve found myself a good man then,” Cai Yan teased him. “Now you know.” Yang Chen gave a bitter laugh. They joked around, and the heavy burden was slightly lifted from their chests. Soon, they arrived at Lei Zhengfu’s house. He built a five-story house with his own money. Even though it didn’t look good, one could tell he spent loads of money on it. The land where the house was built was around one thousand square meters, and it all belonged to the Lei family. Judging the luxurious garden and the parking lot, the cost must have been considerably high. Lei Zhengfu had done numerous evil deeds, so it was natural for him to hire security guards to protect his family. A big group of hired thugs ran up to them as Cai Yan’s police car entered the parking lot. Two of them even pulled fierce dogs along, showing no signs of warm hospitality. Yang Chen and Cai Yan got out of the car and walked to the main gate directly. Lei Zhengfu’s brother, Lei Heng, walked out of the gate with his subordinates. He was startled for a second when he saw them, but he quickly recovered with a wicked smile. “No wonder you looked familiar. Isn’t this Director Xiao’s girlfriend, Cai Yan? Why are you wearing a uniform?” “Stop acting, didn’t you guys find out I’m a police officer ages ago?” Cai Yan sneered. “I don’t know what you’re saying, Cai Yan. I only found out about it when I saw you wearing the uniform.” “Cut the crap. Where is Lei Zhengfu?” Cai Yan questioned him. Lei Heng crossed his arms and said proudly, “Madam, you can’t break into our house without a warrant. You can’t do anything about my brother’s whereabouts.” “You…” Yang Chen stopped her when he noticed she was getting furious. “Cai Yan, you still don’t get it. It’ll take forever if you keep talking nonsense with them.” “What should I do then? I want to kill Lei Zhengfu.” Cai Yan was puzzled. “If we’re killing Lei Zhengfu, his people need not be alive either.” Yang Chen smiled. “Ah…” Cai Yan wanted to say something, but Yang Chen had already made a move! With a flash, he had reappeared in front of Lei Heng! Lei Heng couldn’t even react when Yang Chen gripped his neck! His buff body was pulled up by Yang Chen, and with a little bit of pressure on his neck, he stopped breathing! Yang Chen said nothing as he tossed his body to the stairs behind the main gate. It flew around twenty to thirty meters high before landing with a curve! The thugs stared at him in disbelief, upon seeing how their leader had died so abruptly! Yang Chen waved his hands at Cai Yan, beckoning her to follow. No one dared to come closer. They were grateful for not peeing themselves, even after witnessing such a scene. Yang Chen wasn’t interested in killing the thugs anyway. He brought Cai Yan through the gate, and they walked past the garden before arriving at the main door. Lei Zhengfu was home, just as expected. He had rushed out of the door, having witnessed his brother being tossed out of the gate. However, Yang Chen was surprised to see someone who had come out together with Lei Zhengfu. Next to him was Wang An, the guy he had met in kindergarten! Yang Chen thought he had returned to Shanxi, and he never expected to meet him here! Wang An’s face turned ghastly pale when he saw Yang Chen. He almost ran away, but he wasn’t bold enough to do so. Instead, he stood still with a terrified expression. “Lei Heng!!!” Lei Zhengfu roared when he realized his brother had died from a broken neck. His face turned ferocious as he hugged his brother’s corpse. “You…How dare you kill my brother!?” “Why? Xiao Ye deserved to die but not your brother?” Yang Chen mocked him. Lei Zhengfu stared at him with an eerie gaze. “He deserved it…he refused to accept my offer and tried to con me with a police officer… Humph, I need not talk nonsense with you guys. How dare you kill my brother? I will kill you two! Stop staring and kill them!!” With Lei Zhengfu’s command, his subordinates gritted their teeth as they dashed forward, trying to kill them. Yang Chen had no plans on moving, glancing at Cai Yan instead. These guys would be more suited for her. Cai Yan was trying to unleash her fury, and these thugs were the perfect sandbags. It wasn’t hard for her to beat them up, having graduated from the special forces. Besides, she also had the True Qi from being in the peak of Houtian. She knocked the thugs down one by one as she flung her punches and kicks accurately. However, Cai Yan didn’t kill them since she wasn’t the same as Yang Chen. She only broke one of their legs at most. Lei Zhengfu finally realized things were going south as he witnessed his subordinates being taken down. He pulled Wang An and tried to flee, but Yang Chen stopped them. He blocked their way, swung his leg, and broke their legs! Wang An exclaimed from the pain, begging for mercy. Yang Chen stepped on his head and asked, “You, I thought you said you were going back to Shanxi? Why are you here?” “I…I have a business to do with Boss Lei…I…I’m going back to Shanxi after that…please let me go…” Wang An wailed. Yang Chen squinted his eyes but didn’t believe him. He turned to Lei Zhengfu for clarification. “Is he telling the truth?” Lei Zhengfu hesitated at first, but he still nodded while trembling. Yang Chen smirked, “If you tell me the truth, I promise that I will only kill him. I won’t kill you.” “Really!?” Lei Zhengfu was thrilled. Wang An shouted, “Lei Zhengfu! You can’t do this!! You can’t do this to me!!” Lei Zhengfu couldn’t care less about him. “We have a mining business, but this time he asked me to kidnap a girl for him, but it didn’t work out…” Murderous intent filled Yang Chen’s eyes, and he sneered, “I knew it. None of my enemies would lay their hands on my daughter… Why? Does the Wang clan plan to threaten me with my daughter? Or was it your own idea?” Wang An was devastated, and he said helplessly, “It was my idea… My clan has given up on me. I wanted to try my luck… Young master Yang, I know I won’t survive, but please don’t kill my son, I beg of you…” Yang Chen didn’t let him finish his sentence, breaking his skull with his feet. He wasn’t the slightest bit interested in hearing him out, for he dared to harm his daughter. However, Yang Chen was convinced that Wang An did it because of a personal grudge. The Yang and Ning clan had oppressed the Wang clan; they wouldn’t be that foolish, thinking they could be saved by kidnapping a young girl. Lei Zhengfu gagged from seeing Yang Chen’s brutal way of murder. The way he cracked Wang An’s skull open was utterly disgusting, and the floor was covered with pieces of brain and blood. “Master… I… Can I leave now…” Lei Zhengfu begged him. Yang Chen grinned at him and glanced at Cai Yan, who was walking toward them with a stern expression. “No can do. I said I wouldn’t kill you, but it doesn’t mean my woman won’t kill you.” “You! You deceived me!!” Lei Zhengfu’s face turned ashen. Humiliation, resentment, and fear-filled him, and he wanted to bite his tongue off desperately…

Gay marriage laws in Rhode Island takes affect on August 1 as the state becomes the last remaining New England state to extend marriage rights to gay and lesbian couples. As reported by the Associated Press on July 31, most same-sex couples won’t waste any time in obtaining marriage licenses. Back on May 2, when Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee signed the gay marriage bill into law, couples have been waiting for Aug. 1. Couples like Federico Santi and John Gacher, who plan to be at Newport City Hall bright and early to complete the paperwork that will turn their civil union into a marriage. Santi told the Associated Press: “After living together for 41 years, we don’t have anything to prove. It’s like going down and getting a driver’s license.” The couple will not have an extravagant ceremony because in their hearts they have already been married for a very long time and the marriage license will secure it and have it recognized on a state level and also a federal level. But as Rhode Island became the 10th state in the country to legalize same-sex marriage, the number of couples applying for licenses may not be as large as other states primarily because gay marriage has been legal in all of the surrounding states where couples have gone to have legal weddings. The state will now recognize those marriages as legal in the state of Rhode Island. For this reason, town and city clerks are expecting a pretty calm day and not a lot of gay weddings. According to Ray Sullivan, campaign director for Rhode Islanders United for Marriage, many couples may just wait till later to obtain their licenses and some may wait as late as next year.

We’re just a couple of weeks away from the arrival of Samsung’s next flagship, the Galaxy S9, and as we get closer, we’re learning more and more about the phone. Tonight, a new leak has landed showing off a new docking station for the company’s DeX station. Last year, Samsung debuted the DeX Dock for the Galaxy S8 as the first entry into its desktop interface powered by a smartphone. The Dock was a solid design, but it wasn’t ideal for Samsung’s vision. Now, for the S9, it seems Samsung is revisiting that design, this time called the “DeX Pad.” This new design, shown off by Evan Blass, fits the phone overtop with a USB-C port connecting the phone to a selection of ports at the back of the pad. There are fans to keep the phone cool, just like on the Dock, and a full array of ports along the back. There’s a full-size HDMI port for connecting to a monitor, two full-size USB-A ports for connecting peripherals, and a USB-C port for power. Seemingly the most important reveal, though, is the picture of the phone. Not only does it refute reports that the bezel size has increased, but it seemingly confirms that Samsung will be keeping the headphone jack around for another year. In a market where the 3.5mm jacks are disappearing left and right on flagship devices, it’s a welcome thing to see.

Omar Mateen had visited Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, several times before his deadly shooting rampage that killed 49 people and injured another 53. According to the Orlando Sentinel, at least four regular customers at the popular LGBT club recalled seeing the 29-year-old there before. "Sometimes he would go over in the corner and sit and drink by himself, and other times he would get so drunk he was loud and belligerent," Ty Smith said, adding that he had seen Mateen inside the club at least a dozen times. "We didn't really talk to him a lot, but I remember him saying things about his dad at times," Smith said. "He told us he had a wife and child." But that wasn’t Mateen’s only involvement in the LGBT community. Another Pulse regular told The Los Angeles Times that Mateen messaged him on and off for a year using a gay chat app. Kevin West said he never met Mateen, but had a brief encounter with him Sunday before he watched as the gunman entered the club around 1 a.m. Shots would ring out just an hour later. “He walked directly past me. I said, ‘Hey,’ and he turned and said, ‘Hey,’ and nodded his head,” West said, according to the Los Angeles Times. “I could tell by the eyes.” Mateen died three hours later in a shootout with the Orlando Police Department SWAT team, but not before taking dozens of lives. During his rampage, Mateen reportedly dialed 911 and referenced the Islamic State. As more information comes about Mateen, it appears some were already wary of him. In addition to the FBI’s 10-month investigation of Mateen beginning in 2013, which was eventually brought to a close, one of Mateen’s former co-workers has told his own story. Daniel Gilroy, 44, told The Los Angeles Times he worked with Mateen for about a year as a security guard at PGA Village South in Port St. Lucie, Florida. During that year, Gilroy complained “multiple times that he was dangerous, that he didn't like blacks, women, lesbians and Jews," he told The Times on Sunday. One of his complaints came after Mateen allegedly threatened violence to African Americans in front of him, one time even voicing that he wished he could kill all black people – that statement was made with a racial slur, said Gilroy, who described Mateen as “unhinged and unstable.” Eventually, Gilroy said, he quit his security job due to harassment by Mateen, who allegedly sent as many as 30 text messages a day as well as a dozen phone messages. His employer G4S did not intervene, he said, adding, “I saw this coming.”

Daily Briefing Blog The affair isn't over: Wonks still love their 'health policy valentines' 6:06 PM on February 13, 2014 Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Email Save Print Dan Diamond, Managing Editor Love is fickle. Tweets are fleeting. But once a year, wonks are reminded why they fell for #HealthPolicyValentines in the first place. The idea was conceived in 2012 by Emma Sandoe, a much-adored CMS spokesperson who dashed off the Twitter hashtag on a late bus ride home. (See: Will you be my health policy valentine?) And a whirlwind social media romance quickly bloomed—as witty doctors, researchers, and journalists typed out heartfelt missives, 140 characters at a time—prompting outlets like NPR to confess their admiration. Sweet tweets Readers submit their #HospitalValentines With Valentine's Day looming, wonks are back for another fling with HPV. Love for the hashtag has brought out unexpected suitors. "My dearest ICD-10 coder," the American Medical Association ruefully tweeted on Thursday, "Cupid has pierced my heart with his arrow (code W45.8XXA)." And whether affection or affectation, the idea continues to spread across the Internet. Several professors say they've fallen for #AcademicValentines, and the White House just debuted its own "ACA Valentines." (Although with the bloom off the rose for some, perhaps it's not surprising that "health policy breakups" made an appearance this year, too.) Which health policy valentine are you partial to?

But rarely has a dealer faced criminal charges as a result. A St. Johnsbury woman received a suspended sentence of two to five years for selling a fatal dose of heroin to a Groton man in 2014. Two years ago, a Burlington dealer allegedly sold heroin to his roommate, who took 24 hours to die on the premises. For that, he faced two years in prison. But Trevor Shepard is looking at a much stiffer penalty — 20 years to life — for allegedly selling the heroin that killed Bennington resident Clark Salmon last month. State prosecutors have charged him with second-degree murder. Defense attorneys across Vermont were shocked by the severity of the charge — none could recall a drug dealer here ever being convicted of murder. Stephen Saltonstall called it "over the top" and "a bad use of prosecutorial discretion." The former Vermont defense attorney noted, "You could charge virtually every drug dealer with a crime like that." But no one was surprised about which state's attorney's office levied the charge. "I just chalk it up to Bennington," Defender General Matt Valerio said. "That's the way it's always been down there." The murder charge against Shepard is the latest example of aggressive prosecution in Bennington County, according to legal observers, where State's Attorney Erica Marthage and her four deputy prosecutors punish perpetrators to the full extent of the law. Critics say their approach is increasingly out of step in a state determined to reform its criminal justice system and reduce the inmate population. Bennington County sends almost twice as many defendants to jail as the state average and, though it has never had the highest crime rate, has beat out every other county's incarceration rates since the Department of Corrections began tracking the data in 2009. Even Rutland County, which police and politicians have portrayed as ground zero in Vermont's opiate war, generates about 64 percent fewer inmates per capita than Bennington County. "It's a different world," said Fred Bragdon, the head attorney in the Bennington County Public Defender's Office. "I tell the prosecutors all the time: We could sit down and ... figure out one-quarter of defendants from Bennington that could be released right now." But Bennington County doesn't operate any programs to help people to avoid incarceration, while prosecutors and judges in nearly every other Vermont county have "drug court," "mental health court" and "rapid intervention community court" — all of which are designed to get defendants into treatment instead of jail. Bennington uses the traditional criminal justice system to seek maximum time for cases ranging from trivial to severe. In recent weeks, county prosecutors launched an investigation of an inmate who was helping other prisoners draft legal documents, in violation, they allege, of an obscure law that is almost never enforced in Vermont. More seriously, last month the Vermont Supreme Court overturned the drug conviction of a 27-year-old man whom Bennington prosecutors had put away for a decade. He had already served two years when the judges ruled, but Marthage and company made Shamel Alexander wait almost another month in jail before releasing him. "It's wrong, what's happening here; it really is," said one longtime Bennington County defense attorney, who requested anonymity in anticipation of future dealings with Marthage. "Everything is done to the max, in terms of conditions of bail and sentencing. The drug problem in Bennington is as serious as it is in Rutland, Burlington and Windsor, but that's being used as a cover. The mantra here is punish, punish, punish." Marthage said she is simply following through on the promise she made to voters — to keep the community safe. And the Manchester native is no stranger to southwestern Vermont. She was a deputy state's attorney in Bennington County for four years before she ran for the top prosecutorial job as a Democrat 10 years ago. Each of Vermont's 14 state's attorneys has a different approach, she said: "We're elected to represent the needs and priorities of the counties." But isn't there an argument to be made for uniform legal treatment across the state? Recent Bennington County cases illustrate a long-held concern about Vermont's criminal justice system: that defendants may be treated very differently, and receive wildly varied sentences, depending on where they happen to be arrested. Bennington, a town of 15,700, boasts a walkable downtown and a small liberal-arts college with long list of artsy alumni. But there's nothing quaint or historic about the Bennington County Superior Court, which is on the edge of town in a state office complex that was built in 2012. With faux wood paneling, a light-filled atrium and gently sloping interior walkways, the building feels more like a hospital wing than a Vermont courthouse. On a gray Wednesday afternoon in mid-February, Bennington Superior Court Judge David Howard slowly walked to the bench inside courtroom No. 2 and came upon a languid post-lunch scene. The bailiff was chatting up a young female court staffer, lawyers talked quietly, and a local newspaper reporter shuffled in and out. "Case 211-02-16," Howard said quietly, calling the number of the first case on the afternoon docket. Case numbers are composed of three separate numbers — the number of cases filed in the county year to date, followed by the month and calendar year. Howard turned to a court clerk. "It can't be 211. We can't have 211 already, do we?" he asked with incredulity. After a moment's pause, the clerk confirmed the count was accurate. "Oh, OK, I guess I lost track of how many cases have been filed," Howard said. Case 211-02-16 turned out to be an arraignment. A 34-year-old woman with a string of minor, nonviolent convictions on her record had allegedly assisted a burglar by driving him to the scene of his crime. Lawyers were there to argue whether the accessory should be held in jail, without bail, before her trial. Alleged murderers and rapists are usually held without bail. People like the woman before Howard, so-called "habitual offenders" who have accumulated a string of lesser convictions, fall into a gray area. That the defendant had family members in the area would normally work in her favor. But in Bennington County, lawyers say, there is no suspense in these cases: Prosecutors almost always seek hold-without-bail orders, and judges usually comply. True to form, Deputy Bennington County State's Attorney Robert Plunkett asked that the woman be held without bail pending her trial — which could be a year or more away — and Howard complied. She was sobbing when court security guards led her away. "They don't have that ability to look at a case and say, 'Just because I can say that person could be held in jail doesn't mean they should,'" said a veteran attorney who practices throughout southern Vermont. "It's jail, jail, jail." The state's inmate population has more than doubled since the early 1990s, even as the crime rate in Vermont has fallen. Since 1993, Vermont has had hundreds more inmates than jail cells, necessitating a costly and controversial program of sending Vermonters to private, out-of-state prisons to serve their time. In recent years, the Vermont Department of Corrections, which has a $130 million budget, has come under increasing pressure from lawmakers and criminal justice reformers to shrink its footprint and bring Vermont prisoners back home. Efforts to reduce the inmate population have been focused primarily on two areas: Moving defendants out of the criminal justice system and into treatment, and reducing the number of defendants held in jail while their cases are pending. But the department has little control over that, according to former DOC commissioner Andy Pallito. "Prosecutors have a much more measurable effect on the system than anyone else," he said, including judges, who tend to rotate to new counties every few years. State's attorneys choose which cases to bring and how aggressively to push for tough sentences. Chittenden County incarcerates at a rate of 234 people per 100,000 residents. The incarceration rate is 325 in Rutland and 243 in Franklin. Bennington's rate is 509 per 100,000, according to 2014 figures from the DOC. "We take what they give us," said recently installed DOC Commissioner Lisa Menard. Marthage said she could not explain Bennington's high rate. But she implied that the DOC might be manipulating the figures to deflect criticism of the inmate population. "It's difficult for me to comment on what the DOC numbers actually mean," Marthage said. "I have to take it with a grain of salt, because of who is collecting the numbers and what agenda they may have." Vermont doesn't make it easy to analyze criminal activity town by town. The most recent data compiled by the Vermont Department of Public Safety is from 2012. It showed Bennington County with a slightly higher than average crime rate but almost twice the average incarceration rate, according to the DOC. Former commissioner Pallito confirmed that the county had been an "outlier" since he started there in 1999. "The main factor has been unreasonable state's attorneys and their deputies," said Saltonstall, who retired in 2014 after decades as a defense attorney in Bennington County. Now a resident of Arizona, he leaves water in the desert for migrants crossing the Mexican border. "A lot of these prosecutors don't have a good understanding of human frailty," he said. Like their counterparts all over Vermont, Bennington County law enforcement officials have been busy dealing with crime related to Vermont's opiate crisis. Police in the southern county, which borders both New York and Massachusetts, are uniquely positioned to stop drugs from coming into Vermont from other states. In 2013, that vigilance ensnared 27-year-old Shamel Alexander, an African American from upstate New York who arrived in town via taxicab. When police pulled him over, they found 11 grams of heroin on him. Even though he was a first-time offender, prosecutors recommended the maximum sentence of 10 years, and they got their way. Alexander had served more than two of those years — among Vermont's out-of-state inmates in Michigan — when the Vermont Supreme Court overturned his sentence on February 12. Justices agreed that the police traffic stop and search may have been racially motivated. So they ruled both inadmissible, threw out the conviction and sent the case back to Bennington County. Valerio and other legal observers expected prosecutors to file a perfunctory court document dropping the charge, which would lead to Alexander's release. But weeks after the decision, he remained in the Michigan prison. Alexander's attorney, Bennington County public defender Jeff Rubin, filed a motion asking a judge to throw out the charge. Finally, late last week, nearly a month after the decision, prosecutors dropped the case. Why didn't prosecutors do that after the Supreme Court ruling and free Alexander without instigating a legal fight? "We have similar questions," Valerio said. Marthage said her office was simply performing due diligence on the Alexander case. She also questioned how much Valerio, who as defender general supervises dozens of public defenders across the state, really knows about it. "I'd love to know what exactly is the last actual involvement Matt Valerio has had in any court," Marthage said. "His people all file things for him. It's fascinating to me that it's so interesting to him, what happens in Bennington, when I've literally never seen him." Valerio's office is actively defending another prisoner who has been a target of Marthage's office. Martin "Serendipity" Morales, who identifies as a woman, has been assisting fellow inmates with legal work at Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility in Rutland. Most prisons and jails have a resident inmate who knows enough about the legal system to help fellow prisoners navigate it. Every Vermont correctional facility has a law library to facilitate that. In early January, Bennington County prosecutors sent Lloyd Dean, a detective in the Bennington County Sheriff's Department, to interview several inmates from Bennington County who acknowledged that they filed appeals with the help of Morales, who is serving time for felony burglary and domestic assault. All three men said they had approached Morales for help and that she not been paid for her services. There is no evidence to suggest that any of the inmates believed she was a licensed attorney. "She doesn't take payment for her work," Dean reported in an affidavit. "It's what she does. She enjoys it." Nonetheless, on February 2, one of Marthage's deputies filed documents with the Vermont Supreme Court charging Morales with falsely representing herself as a lawyer and engaging in "unlawful practice of the law." The same week, the Vermont Attorney General's Office briefly considered leveling the same charge against environmental activist Annette Smith. It decided not to, as Attorney General Bill Sorrell explained in a prepared statement: "Any definition of the practice of law must recognize the diversity of advocacy before different forums at the state and local levels, should not abridge First Amendment rights, and should ensure that Vermonters have access to justice." Marthage declined to discuss the case against Morales in detail, but she did note a spike in the number of "post-conviction relief" petitions, aka PCRs, that Vermont inmates have filed asking for new trials or sentences or other relief. "I don't charge people with being a nuisance," Marthage said. "I charge people with violating the law." Marthage, 45, lives in tony Manchester with her husband and three young children. She was raised there, too, in more challenging circumstances. "I was an endangered species in Manchester — I grew up poor," Marthage said. Her carpenter dad struggled with alcoholism, she said. Her mother earned money as a chambermaid — when she could find work. Neither parent had graduated from high school. The youngest of five, Marthage was a mostly disinterested student at Burr and Burton Academy, which locals attend tuition-free, and occasionally got into trouble for cutting school. But she was determined to go to college and make a better life for herself. She spent her free time as a teenager volunteering at the office of a local attorney and became fascinated with criminal law. After graduating from the University of Vermont and then, in 1999, the University of Connecticut School of Law, Marthage worked as a prosecutor in Hartford, Conn. She left to be a deputy prosecutor in Bennington County, focused on juvenile cases. In 2006, Marthage ran for state's attorney, challenging her old boss, former Bennington County state's attorney Bill Wright. He had a reputation as a tough-on-crime, law-and-order prosecutor. She pledged to be even tougher and decried the "insane" number of people who were placed on probation. "Bennington County needs to have someone who shows a strong sense of responsibility to the community and instills faith in justice again," Marthage told the Bennington Banner. At the same time, Marthage pledged to be "reasonable" and expressed an interest in working with nonprofits to treat addicts instead of incarcerating them. Many local defense attorneys who now criticize her said that's why they supported her successful 2006 campaign. "My focus as an office is on public safety, victim safety and offender rehab whenever possible," she said. Marthage says her humble upbringing makes her sympathetic to many people who run afoul of the law. "The most satisfaction I get out of what I do is when I get to help people who made a stupid decision on a bad day, something they hadn't thought about, and they just want to make sure they get a fair shake," said Marthage. But Marthage's critics say she has too often thrown the book at the people she claims to be helping. Opiate-related threats have come to dominate the agenda of Marthage and her four deputy prosecutors — although one of them, Christina Rainville, had been especially aggressive in pursuing alleged sex crimes before leaving the job last year. "My only goal is to stop this waterfall," Marthage said of the opiate problem. "It's so bad, and so disturbing on so many levels." Seven people have overdosed on heroin so far this year in the Bennington area. Salmon was the only fatality. Police quickly zeroed in on Trevor Shepard and his brother William, whom they had long suspected of dealing heroin. William Shepard told police that he and his brother had brought heroin from Holyoke, Mass., to sell in Bennington, according to court documents. A 27-year-old woman told police that, on January 31, she overdosed on a bag of heroin, labeled "American Gangster," that she bought from 26-year-old Trevor Shepard. When she recovered, she called him to complain about the negative effects, according to police affidavits. He warned her that some of the heroin that he was selling could be "laced" with fentanyl, a potent heroin additive that is highly lethal. Another woman told police that, on February 1, she was with Salmon when he snorted heroin that he had bought from Shepard. Salmon overdosed and was revived with Narcan at a nearby hospital. The next day, Salmon bought more of the same heroin from Shepard. He died from a second overdose. Marthage said Shepard's comments to the 27-year-old woman show that he knew the heroin he sold Salmon could be lethal. "The affidavit lays out a factual scenario where the defendant is informing the potential user of the drug that this is pretty powerful stuff and you better be careful," Marthage said. "That provides a level of reckless disregard that is beyond a manslaughter charge. This is not just selling drugs." But Shepard's attorney, Chris Montgomery, has asked a judge to dismiss the murder charge, which carries a maximum life sentence. Montgomery said in an interview that, using Marthage's logic, nearly every drug dealer in Vermont could be charged with murder should a customer die after willingly buying his or her product. "It is highly unusual, and I've been doing this for close to 20 years," Montgomery said of the decision to file a murder charge. "I have never seen a defendant from our area accused of causing an overdose charged as second-degree murder. A lot of cases could fit in that charge of a person giving someone drugs." Vermont has looked at the problem of unpredictable punishment before. In 2005, the legislature created the Vermont Sentencing Commission, a group of lawyers and experts charged with "reducing geographical disparities in sentencing," according to the law that created the group. Its first — and only — leader was Michael Kainen, a Hartford attorney and former state representative who recently became a superior court judge. The commission solicited a few reports about sentencing practices across Vermont and made an occasional presentation to the legislature. But the effort fizzled when the judiciary slashed its budget, and Kainen departed in 2008 for a job in private practice. Though the commission remains codified in state law, it has not convened in at least four years, attorneys say. "It never achieved its potential," said Robert Sand, who serves as Gov. Peter Shumlin's liaison to criminal justice programs. "I still think, conceptually, it's a good idea." Sen. Dick Sears (D-Bennington), chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, does, too. He served on the defunct commission. "Should you really have different sentences if you get caught passing a bad check in one county than another?" Sears asked rhetorically. The longtime Bennington County senator was intent on clarifying two things: His legislative district earned its law-and-order reputation long before Marthage took office; in addition to prosecutors, local police and judges contribute to the culture. And Sears is no less frustrated than southern Vermont defense attorneys that Bennington County continues to generate more inmates per capita than any other jurisdiction. Without mentioning Marthage by name, he said he hopes local prosecutors will come around to focus more on treatment and less on incarceration. In the absence of a vocal sentencing commission, or laws that insist on some level of uniformity in charging and sentencing, individual state's attorneys in Vermont enjoy wide latitude in creating their own mini-criminal justice systems. Sand, a former Windsor County state's attorney, should know. In 2007, he effectively decriminalized the possession of small amounts of marijuana in his jurisdiction when he stopped prosecuting those cases in criminal court and instead sent most people arrested for marijuana possession to a court diversion program. "Every case is a blank slate, and the state's attorney fills that slate with their sentencing philosophy," Sand said. "I think it's reasonable for the legislature to say, 'We think there should be some greater measure of consistency.'" Sand is now tasked with helping to establish treatment and diversion programs in all 14 counties, in hopes of reducing the inmate population and moving the state away from a traditional crime-and-punishment approach. It's been slow going. In 2014, after Shumlin devoted his entire State of the State address to Vermont's battle with opiate addiction, the governor and lawmakers set out to replicate Chittenden County's Rapid Intervention Criminal Court in Vermont's other 13 counties. Created by Chittenden County State's Attorney T.J. Donovan, RICC sends repeat, nonviolent criminals with substance abuse or mental health problems to treatment, not court. If the defendants progress, Donovan never brings a case against them. Independent studies suggest that RICC has kept several hundred people out of prison in the past three years and reduced criminal recidivism in Chittenden County. But programs such as RICC can only exist if the individually elected state's attorneys want them. To prod the prosecutors into action, the legislature pays for screeners — caseworkers who would interview defendants to assess their eligibility for a pre-charge program like RICC — in every county. The response: State's attorneys in Addison, Lamoille, Washington, Rutland, Essex, Windsor and Orange counties created pre-charge programs. In Bennington County, the screener is in place, reviewing cases and talking to defendants about their struggles. But there is no RICC-style program to refer them to. Regardless of what the screener finds, defendants go into the criminal justice system, as they always have. Marthage says she supports the concept of a pre-charge program — in theory — but isn't sold on what's out there. She also worries that there aren't enough treatment options and counselors in Bennington County to support eligible defendants. "The tools in our toolbox are so limited," she said. Local attorneys say the pre-charge programs don't exist because Marthage's office isn't interested in having them. For evidence, they point to the recent demise of the only alternative court program that ever got off the ground in Bennington County. In 2007, the county launched a so-called "domestic violence court" that aimed to stop the cycle of spousal abuse. It forced defendants to undergo counseling and kept temporary restraining orders in place. By completing a treatment program, an offender could skip prison for probation, thereby accelerating the reunification process. A study by the Vermont Center for Justice Research showed that the program cut Bennington County's domestic violence recidivism by about 50 percent, while reducing incarceration during the same period — between 2007 and 2010. In 2015, the man who spearheaded the program — Bennington County Superior Court Judge David Suntag — retired. And the domestic violence court went with him. Marthage pinned blame for the demise of the domestic violence court on the Department of Corrections, whose probation officers, she said, became increasingly rigid about allowing defendants charged with domestic violence the freedoms necessary to engage in treatment. In lieu of a domestic violence court, Marthage said she has been aggressive in pursuing domestic abusers who fail to live up to the terms of their probation. More specifically, her office files a minor criminal charge, "violating conditions of release," every time a defendant fails to check in with a probation officer, contacts the alleged victim, violates a curfew or runs afoul of any of the numerous regulations placed upon them by probation officers. In a few instances, Bennington County prosecutors have filed more than 100 VCR charges against a single defendant. The county files VCRs at nearly double the state average, the Vermont Center for Justice Research found. Each charge can lead to fines, revocation of probation and jail time. "In other counties you wouldn't bring 138 charges," Valerio said. "Prosecutors would bring two and have an arrest warrant and go from there. Bennington has a love of that kind of stuff." Marthage is unapologetic: "The idea that I'm somehow seeking out all these jail sentences— What am I, twisting the judge's arm? These are not things I accomplish by fiat." On her desk, she said, are "stacks of files" of cases she has elected not to pursue. She said that doesn't sit well with her constituents, who want just the opposite: tougher justice than one of Vermont's toughest prosecutors is already meting out.
