The best and worst of New Music Friday: Stormzy, Imagine Dragons, Hailee Steinfeld
Here we go again... New Music Friday has rolled around, with its usual cornucopia of delights and disappointments. Here's a selection:
1) Stormzy - Big For Your Boots
The first single from Stormzy's long-awaited debut album Gang Signs & Prayer, this contains this amazing couplet: "I was in the O2 singing my lungs out / Rudeboy, you're never too big for Adele."
2) Zara Larsson ft Ty Dolla Sign - So Good
Zara's urban-pop anthem was technically out last week, but now she's done a video to go with it. So here you are.
3) Imagine Dragons - Believer
Weirdly, this comes from the advert for Nintendo's new Switch console - but it's still a pretty heartfelt song, with Dan Reynolds explaining it depicts his "realisation that the emotional pain I faced the last few years actually helped me progress to this healthier mental space". Whatever, the new Zelda game looks amazing.
4) Liv Dawson - Searching
A solid, soulful, house track produced by Disclosure. Liv is just 18 and hails from Shepperton, fact fans.
5) Muna - I Know A Place
A powerful and timely video about acceptance and tolerance.
NB: Muna's excellent debut album is out today, and you should buy it.
6) Brooke Candy ft Sia - Living Out Loud
Sia's formula is starting to wear thin - you could set a watch by the arrival of her choruses. But her writing is still more electrifying than 99% of her peers. Basically, if you like Sia you will like this and if you don't like Sia you will don't like it.
7) Salen - Heartbreak Diet
"I used to dream of dying so you would cry at my funeral," sings Ellie Kamio on this infectious pop-hop jam. The London trio are rapidly becoming ones to watch.
8) Digital Farm Animals ft Hailee Steinfeld - Digital Love
A totally abhorrent Chainsmokers rip-off with some of the worst lyrics ever committed to tape. "I swipe right, cause I see just what I like / It's called Digital Love."
Shame on you, Digital Farm Animals. Shame on you all.

Kim Kardashian calls in special forces veterans to find mastermind behind £8.5m gems raid and ensure she is never a victim again
- Reality TV star Kim, 35, and husband Kanye West are beefing-up security
- Special forces brought in to make Kim feel safer while Kanye investigates
- During raid on apartment in Paris, jewelry snatched include £3.2m ring
- French Police have launched probe and believe it could be an inside job
Kim Kardashian has called in special forces veterans to help protect her and find the mastermind behind the attack she suffered in Paris.
Reality TV star Kim, 35, has called the security experts to help her feel safe again after £8.5million worth of jewels and other belongings were stolen from her.
During the terrifying break-in a gang wearing police armbands forced their way up to Kim's apartment at the Hotel Particulier Pourtales, before holding a gun to her head and tying her up.
Kim Kardashian has called in special forces veterans to help protect her and find the mastermind behind the attack she suffered in Paris
As details emerged of how Kim was tailed in the days preceding the robbery, the star told close friends how she feared she would be raped by her attackers
They made out with a stash that included her £3.2million engagement ring.
Kim's husband, rapper Kanye West, is now said to be desperate to find out who was responsible for the robbery and has decided to take things into his own hands, reveals the Sunday Mirror.
He is also is said to be hiring look-a-likes in a bid to to act as decoys and keep his family's location private.
A source said: 'They've [Kim and Kanye] decided to use their own experts as part of their security overhaul. Some of them have worked for the world's top intelligence agencies. If anyone can get to the bottom of what went on, these guys will.'
Kim's bodyguard Pascal Duvier, 43, has since come into criticism for leaving the social media star on her own.
Duvier was out at the L'Arc nightclub with her sisters Kourtney and Kendall less than two miles away when the robbery took place.
Police stand guard outside the Paris apartment were Kim was robbed in the early hours of Monday morning
Kim has reportedly told friends that she does not blame him for the crime. There is no suggestion Duvier had any involvement or that he is under any suspicion.
However, It has since be revealed that his German ProtectSecurity firm, which has run security for a host of stars from Kim's husband to the Black Eyed Peas, has racked up debts totalling €1,093,518 (£961,296) - leaving him filing for bankruptcy ten weeks ago.

Award Winning Photographer Reveals The $8,000 Photo Mistake You Can't Afford To Make
If you are looking for photos to captivate your readers, if you have a great blog post to share but no photo, if you want to have a fresh supply of photos you can legally use on your site then this message is for you and here's why....
Did you know that copyright infringement involving photos that are registered with the U.S. Copyright Office allows for statutory damages anywhere from $30,000 - $150,000?
Use the wrong photo on your site and you could be sued for $30,000 or more!
Hello, I'm Toni Nelson, My husband Tom and I are Award Winning Photographers, Videographers and Online Marketers.
I know copyright issues are a problem, which is why Professional Photographers Of America has a resource center for all their members.
Our photography has been featured in such places as DIY Bride, Kiss My Tule, The Florida Wedding Atlas.
We've worked with a number of Chambers of Commerce and business owners all over the world providing photography and videography services.
No one knows better than we do that our photos are the life blood of our business and as such they need to be protected.
One day as I was working on my Instagram account I realized how hard it was for the every day business owner to go out and find fabulous photos to use. You know the kind that get people liking, sharing and commenting.
Use The Wrong Photo On Your Site And It Could Cost You Thousands
A company who writes thousands of blog posts a year for clients had one of their writers use an image from Google for a clients project.
Three months later the client was contacted by an attorney saying they were being sued for $8,000. Why? The image used was copyright protected.
After doing research they realized there was no way around it. They would have to pay a fee.
They negotiated the original amount down to $3,000. A lot less but still a pricey mistake.
The $7,500 Mistake You Need To Avoid Thousands
Chrystie, a blogger was looking for a photo of a green pepper for her blog.
She found one on Google, right click, saved the image and posted it to her blog.
About 7 months later she received an email from a lawyer that looked like a Cease and Desist order regarding the photo. She thought taking the photo off her site would solve the problem but it didn't.
The photographer had the copyright registered for the photo and they wanted $7,500 for using the image.
She contacted an attorney who told her she could be responsible for damages as well as court costs.
After spending many sleepless nights, she settled the claim for less than they were asking, but it was still way more than she would have paid for the rights to use the photo.
Here's The Thing...
We live in a visual world. We use our eyes to see the things that influence our reactions, our decisions and even our behavior.
Visual Marketing is an important part of any business marketing plan.
Here's Exactly Why....
If you Ignore these facts you are making it easier for your competition to gain the attention of your customers.
Most business owners visit the normal stock photography sites to find photos to use.
But they aren't happy with that because it seems everybody and their brother are using these sites.
Not only that but it doesn't matter whether you made a "mistake" and used a copyright image or not. You can still be sued anywhere from $8,000 to $150,000.
It Can Happen To You!
Because visual social media is growing by leaps and bounds you need high quality photos to use. Even formerly text-only social media is becoming more image friendly and for good reasons. The entire point of social media is to share and engage. Photos improve this factor.
What if I went into our private photography vault and offered you one of a kind photos you can't purchase from anyone else on the web?
Not only that, but what if I gave you the ability to legally use these images on your own sites by giving you a personal use license?
Just think, all you would need to do is open up the file and choose from a variety of high quality photos.
Imagine having high quality images that garner trust. You won't have to worry about placing any old image on your blog post and expect to get more views.
Photos For Your Blog That Won't Get You Sued!
Now you can avoid clipart and poor quality images like the plague. These types of photos can make your blog look low quality, ordinary and as if you didn't care. The good news....
That won't happen with the photos you receive from PhotographersPic

Why did we get wrinkles around eye before time
Why did we get wrinkles around eye before time
This can be because of stress or lack of sleep.
Yes, I agree what @MichaelRiggins said. Besides, also due to dry skin, lack of built-in moisturizer, which creates the appearance of a smoother skin texture.
Wrinkles around the eyes usually cause stress, lack of sleep, and lack of moisture in skin etc. we should take care these things for healthy skin.

Comment left. But... HOW did you and your son share that first test ride, in the Roadster? It's a 2-seater!
Hi Cattledog
I've been blogging about Tesla for almost 4 years now. I am a very early Roadster owner and gave them my deposit after meeting them in a high school parking lot.
I have been blogging because I thought it would be useful for other electric vehicle owners to get the day to day experiences of driving an electric car from a single voice.
I have gotten reasonable traffic over the years, so all the effort I think has been worth it.
I have been more active lately now that I am transitioning to the Model S.
Cool - the same reasonings for the config as I did, except I chose Performance. Want to feel the kick ;-)

I also basically got everything but performance. I couldn't justify the extra 1 second for $15K. With my Roadster, you definitely feel the G forces before flooring it. When I first got the Roadster I took a ton of people on demonstration rides, and many of them were frankly scared when I floored it.
I often use the acceleration to pass people at lights and merge into carpool lanes from dead stops, but around here there is too much traffic to really be able to use that much acceleration frequently enough. The mountain roads are really fun but also are full of cyclists, so one needs to use a fair bit of caution. I hope I don't miss that extra second!
Cattledog - I think it is great that there is another Tesla Owner Blogger out there. We need to get the rest of the world to realize electric is the way to go. I'm actually surprised more people haven't caught on. Seems like most of the people who have gotten it have technical backgrounds. Even some of my very smart friends in other fields are cautious about "electric".
Remind your friends Henry Ford wanted to do electric, but had to settle on gasoline because lead-acids were too limiting. Problem solved ...
Electric motors do what cars were meant to do: Respond instantly, not when the putt-putt engine gets around to it.
TeslaOwnerBlog...you are probably one of the people who have been driving the Roadster for the longest amount of time.
Can you let me know how much you drive and what amount of battery capacity you have lost over 4 years?

How Many Calories Should a 10-Month-Old Be Eating?
A 10 month old baby should be consuming a combination of solids and breast milk for optimal nutrition. Talk with your doctor about your baby's particular needs, and together you can determine adequate caloric intake for your child.
Caloric Intake
A baby's caloric intake is calculated by weight, not by age. If you want to know an exact number of how many calories he needs, weigh him. The calculation for babies is 90 to 120 calories for every 1 kilogram or every 2.2 pounds, notes the Hasbro Children's Hospital Surgery Handbook. For instance, an 18 pound 10 month old will require a little over 800 calories at 100 calories per kilogram.
Counting calories for your baby is not necessary unless specifically directed by your pediatrician. Instead, look for opportunities to feed your 10 month old a balanced diet of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and protein, along with any breast milk or formula she still consumes.
Medical Help
Seek medical help from your pediatrician if your baby's nutrition needs suddenly change or you observe a sharp dip in weight loss. Your pediatrician can observe your baby's growth and suggest nutrition options to keep your baby health.

"Only one thing is impossible for God: To find any sense in any copyright law on the planet."
-- Mark Twain
News and Opinion
The EU just voted to fundamentally change how the internet works
The EU Wednesday passed a controversial law that could fundamentally change the way the internet works, forcing companies like Google and Facebook to pay publishers every single time someone shares a link to an article.
The Copyright Directive was introduced in order to update copyright law for the digital age, but the inclusion of two controversial provisions led to significant opposition from rights groups and activists. Despite the opposition, European lawmakers voted to pass the legislation by 438 votes to 226. MEPs previously voted against the directive in July, but more than 250 amendments have been made since.
The two provisions which have prompted the most concern have been dubbed the "link tax" and the "upload filter."
- Article 11: This provision is intended to force big tech platforms like Google and Facebook to pay publishers when they share a link to an article. Some have suggested it could spell the end of services like Google News in the EU.
- Article 13: This is a provision that activists claim will "kill the internet" as it forces all tech companies to filter all user content before it is put online and check for any copyright material.
... Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the world wide web, and Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, warned in June what passing this legislation could mean: "[It] takes an unprecedented step towards the transformation of the internet from an open platform for sharing and innovation, into a tool for the automated surveillance and control of its users."
EU lawmakers set to vote on updating copyright rules for first time in more than 15 years
Seventeen years after Sept. 11, Al Qaeda may be stronger than ever
In the days after Sept. 11, 2001, the United States set out to destroy Al Qaeda. President George W. Bush vowed to "starve terrorists of funding, turn them one against another, drive them from place to place, until there is no refuge or no rest." Seventeen years later, Al Qaeda may be stronger than ever. Far from vanquishing the extremist group and its associated "franchises," critics say, U.S. policies in the Mideast appear to have encouraged its spread.
What U.S. officials didn't grasp, said Rita Katz, director of the SITE Intelligence Group, in a recent phone interview, is that Al Qaeda is more than a group of individuals. "It's an idea, and an idea cannot be destroyed using sophisticated weapons and killing leaders and bombing training camps," she said.
The group has amassed the largest fighting force in its existence. Estimates say it may have more than 20,000 militants in Syria and Yemen alone. It boasts affiliates across North Africa, the Levant and parts of Asia, and it remains strong around the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.
Seventeen Years After 9/11, Pentagon Report Ignores Trillions of Dollars Spent on Endless War
As the world marks the 17th anniversary of the 9/11 terror attacks, the Pentagon's latest lowball estimate of just how much the so-called War on Terror has cost Americans is making headlines—despite independent analyses that have come up with far higher figures. "The collective wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria have cost U.S. taxpayers more than $1.5 trillion since Sept. 11, 2001," CNBC declared Monday, citing a Pentagon report (pdf) from March.
However, after Secrecy News published a copy of that report last month, Stephen Schwartz of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists compared the Department of Defense (DOD) figure with the oft-cited $5.6 trillion estimate put out last year by the "Costs of War" project at Brown University's Watson Institute of International and Public Policy. And the National Priorities Project (NPP), though it currently estimates war spending at about $4.6 trillion since 2001, has been keeping a running tally for years.
Watson's estimate, Schwartz pointed out in a pair of tweets, "took into account costs for which DOD is not responsible and therefore ignores—including care for veterans, Homeland Security, and interest paid to borrow money to pay for wars." The Watson report (pdf) also acknowledges that "there are still billions of dollars not included" in its estimate, such as the costs of state and local government's veteran care programs that aren't subsidized by federal tax dollars and "the gifts the U.S. makes in excess military equipment to countries in and near the war zones."

Next step in ditching US dollar? Putin and Xi Jinping meet in Eastern Economic Forum
Trump's Endgame in Palestine
Last Friday, the State Department announced it would end all funding of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), the UN agency that provides many essential services for Palestinian refugees in the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. The reaction to this decision has been mostly negative. Some have objected to the Trump administration's decision because it runs counter to U.S. interests. Some have objected because it jeopardizes Israel's security. Others talk about the staggering humanitarian consequences for the millions of refugees UNRWA serves.
These are all important concerns. But none of them hits the mark of what the Trump administration—apparently at the urging of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, without any consultation with anyone else in the Israeli government or defense establishment—is doing. This is not merely an attack on UNRWA, as serious as that may be. This is an attempt to destroy the Palestinian national movement.
As I have long argued, the biggest single issue in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since 1948 is not Jerusalem, settlements, borders, or even security. It is the Palestinian right of return. It is the one issue Israel would not discuss in talks and Israelis, with very few exceptions mostly on the far left, will not even consider compromising on. It is also the very basis of the Palestinian national movement since 1948. For seven decades, the Palestinian right of return has been the irresistible force meeting the immovable object of Israeli nationalism. It has been the time bomb that would explode if talks on all those other issues were ever successful.
The right of return continued to smolder on its long fuse while diplomats from Israel, the US, Europe, and elsewhere sat comfortably with their belief that the Palestinians would simply accept their permanent exile. ... Trump has not reversed policy, as some have said. Rather, he has shoved policy in the direction it was leaning before. Consider the words of Dan Shapiro, who was Barack Obama's ambassador to Israel. Shapiro tweeted, "I'm 100% for being honest [with Palestinians] that there will be no right of return or any other outcome that undermines Isr[ael] as a Jewish state. I'm also for being honest that the conflict can only end in 2 states [for] 2 peoples." ...
Trump is taking that idea to a reckless and callous extreme. ... Whether it was his abandonment of the two-state solution with no alternative (allowing Netanyahu's policies to fill the void), his turning a blind eye to settlement expansion, moving the U.S. embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, his parroting of virtually every right-wing Israeli talking point, or his relentless attacks on UNRWA, Trump has steered his policy on Israel-Palestine down a clear path. He is motivated by the right-wing belief, undoubtedly held by Jared Kushner, Jason Greenblatt, and his ambassador to Israel, David Friedman—Trump's "Mideast peace team"—that contrary to conventional wisdom, the Palestinians can be pounded into submission. ...
The Israeli right and their U.S. counterparts understand very well the power imbalance between the Palestinians and Israel. They believe that they should crush Palestinian national aspirations and that Israel can weather the Arab and global reaction until it eventually subsides. Trump's policies have been directed unerringly at that outcome.

New York senate candidate accuses Israeli PM Netanyahu's spokesman of sexual assault
Julia Salazar, a candidate for New York's state senate, has accused the Israeli prime minister's spokesman of sexually assaulting her. David Keyes denied the accusation and said Salazar was "dishonest".
Salazar, 27, said on Twitter that she had been informed her story was about to be reported by an unnamed news organisation in what appeared to be "an effort to cast doubt upon my and other women's accusations against Keyes".

Following the post, the Wall Street Journal reporter Shayndi Raice tweeted that she also had a "terrible encounter with David Keyes" before he joined Benjamin Netanyahu's office, and claimed his "mistreatment of women was an open secret".
"The man had absolutely no conception of the word 'no'," Raice wrote. "No matter how often I said no, he would not stop pushing himself on me. I was able to extricate myself quickly and it was a very brief and uncomfortable moment, but I knew as I walked away I had encountered a predator."
McDonald's workers set to strike over sexual harassment
McDonald's fast-food restaurant workers have voted to stage a one-day strike at outlets in 10 US cities next week, in hopes of pressuring the company to take stronger steps against sexual harassment on the job.
Organizers of the action say it will be the first multi-state strike in the US specifically targeting sexual harassment and that they have been emboldened by the #MeToo movement against harassment and sexual assault.
Plans for the walkout – to start at lunchtime on 18 September – have been approved in recent days by committees of female employees at dozens of McDonald's restaurants. Lead organizers include several women who filed complaints with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in May, alleging pervasive harassment at some of the corporation's franchise restaurants.
The strike comes as union-backed organizations have been putting pressure on McDonald's on several fronts for better working conditions, including $15 an hour wages – at a burger chain that employs tens of thousands of people around the country, many of them at low pay.
I wonder which brand of paper towels Trump will be lobbing at the survivors of Florence (and FEMA's incompetence). I hope that they're super absorbent.
Trump just called Hurricane Maria response an "incredible unsung success." Nearly 3,000 people died.
If anyone was worried about the Trump administration's readiness to deal with Hurricane Florence, the president wants to reassure them by pointing to the "tremendous" response to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico last year — where nearly 3,000 citizens lost their lives due to the storm.
"I actually think it is one of the best jobs that's ever been done with respect to what this is all about," Trump said Tuesday in the Oval Office during a briefing on preparations for Florence, heading for the Carolinas and due to make landfall Thursday.
The official death toll from the Puerto Rico storm last fall had been 64, but a recent study by independent researchers found it was almost 3,000 people who died from the disaster. According a report released by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, nearly half of the evacuees from the hurricane have been living in Florida and can't move any time soon due to the economy and failing infrastructure. For an entire week following the hurricane, FEMA didn't even have information on about half of the wastewater treatment plants or the hospitals.
But Trump is happy with the overall response. "I think that Puerto Rico was incredibly successful," he said. "Puerto Rico was actually our toughest one of all because it is an island."
ICE is trying to deport a disabled man who has been in the U.S. for 35 years
Immigration and Customs Enforcement is trying to deport a man with special needs who overstayed his student visa 35 years ago, the Detroit Free Press reports.
Francis Anwana, now 48, came to the U.S. from Nigeria when he was 14 to attend the Michigan School for the Deaf, in Flint, the Free Press said. He now lives in an adult foster care facility in Detroit and does custodial work at a nearby church. His advocates told the Free Press that, due to a cognitive disability, he does not fully understand that he could soon be forced to leave.
ICE gave Anwana less than a week's notice that they planned to deport him Tuesday, Michigan Public Radio reported. His deportation has since been delayed, and he has a meeting with ICE in two weeks.
"With his condition, life in Nigeria will be very, very bad, and can lead to death for not receiving proper medical care," Fatou-Seydi Sarr, founder of the African Bureau for Immigration and Social Affairs, told the Free Press.
Fueled by Floods, Storms, and Drought Made Worse by Climate Crisis, Global Hunger Levels Rise for Third Straight Year
Extreme weather events, driven by the climate crisis, are a key factor in the rising global food crisis of recent years—with the number of people now affected by inadequate food and water prompting fears that the past decade's gains have been reversed. A new study by the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development, UNICEF, the World Food Program, and the World Health Organization find that 821 million people worldwide—one in nine—lack sufficient food and water. Malnutrition and food shortages worsened in most of Africa and in large swaths of South America in the last year.
"Hunger is significantly worse in countries with agricultural systems that are highly sensitive to rainfall and temperature variability and severe drought, and where the livelihood of a high proportion of the population depends on agriculture," reads the study. The report, entitled "The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2018," points to "climate shocks" including flooding, drought, and tropical storms as ones that have had the most adverse effects on food production.
Drought causes 80 percent of all damage to agriculture, with farmers in Ghana, Tanzania, and Nigeria reporting to the agencies that frequent droughts as well as heatwaves have resulted in significant crop loss. In Asia, where more than half a billion of the world's hungry population lives, flooding is largely behind food scarcity. More than three million people in Bangladesh went without enough to eat in 2017 due to severe storms and resulting floods, while similar events combined with drought left more than 10 million hungry in Nepal, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.
#Climate variability and extremes are leading causes behind the rise in hunger.

EPA admits scrapping regulations will put more methane into atmosphere
The Trump administration moved closer on Tuesday to rolling back Obama-era rules reducing oil and gas industry leaks of methane gas. Methane is one of the most potent agents of climate change.
As the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) formally released its proposed substitute for a 2016 Obama administration rule that aimed to step up detection and elimination of methane leaks at well sites and other oil and gas facilities, it conceded the move "may … degrade air quality and adversely affect health and welfare".
The move is part of a broad Trump administration effort to undo former president Barack Obama's legacy programs to fight climate change by cutting emissions from oil, gas and coal. The EPA conceded that relaxing the Obama-era rule for methane leaks at oil and gas sites would put another 380,000 tons of methane into the atmosphere by 2025. The amount is roughly equivalent to more than 30m tons of carbon dioxide, another fossil-fuel emission that receives far more attention in efforts to slow climate change.
Relaxing federal oversight will save $75m in regulatory costs annually, the agency said.

Hurricane Florence: North Carolina fears possible environmental disaster
Hurricane Florence could cause an environmental disaster in North Carolina, where waste from hog manure pits, coal ash dumps and other industrial sites could wash into homes and threaten drinking water supplies. Preparations are also being made at half a dozen nuclear power plants that stand in the path of the 500-mile-wide hurricane, which is barreling toward the US east coast, expected to make landfall Thursday night. More than 1.4 million residents across North and South Carolina have been ordered to evacuate.
In North Carolina, computer models predict more than 3ft of rain in the eastern part of the state – and fears were exacerbated by the many environmental hazards lying in the path of the storm. There are 16 nuclear reactors in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia, the states expected to suffer the most damage from Florence. Duke Energy, which runs reactors at six sites, has said operators would begin shutting down nuclear plants at least two hours before hurricane-force winds arrive.
Brunswick nuclear plant, located south of Wilmington near the mouth of the Cape Fear river, was identified in 2014 by Huffpost and Weather.com as one of the nuclear facilities most at risk from rising sea levels and resulting floods. The Brunswick plant's two reactors are of the same design as those in Fukushima, Japan, that exploded and leaked radiation following a 2011 earthquake and tsunami. Following that disaster, federal regulators required all US nuclear plants to perform upgrades to better withstand earthquakes and flooding.
Duke Energy did not respond to requests for information about specific changes made at Brunswick, other than to say emergency generators and pumps will remove stormwater at the plant if it floods. The company issued assurances this week that it is ready for Florence, which is predicted to pack winds of up to 140 miles per hour and a 13ft storm surge. ...
North Carolina has roughly 2,100 industrial-scale pork farms containing more than 9 million hogs typically housed in long metal sheds with grated floors designed to allow the animals' urine and feces to fall through and flow into nearby open-air pits containing millions of gallons of untreated sewage. During Floyd, dozens of these lagoons either breached or were inundated by flood waters, spilling the contents. State taxpayers ended up buying out and closing 43 farms located in floodplains. To prepare for Florence, the North Carolina Pork Council says its members have pumped down lagoon levels to absorb at least 2ft of rain. Low-lying farms have been moving their hogs to higher ground.

From the perspecttive of a writer and his or her heirs,
US copyright laws make perfect
cents $en$e.
The original idea was that copyright laws would encourage people to create original works by ensuring that only the author of the works would, for a limited time ("limited" being the word used in the copyright clause of the US Constitution) be able to profit from them. However, they are now seen as the way to keep royalties rolling in, even if the creative person who created them is long dead and beyond the ability of any law to "encourage" into writing something else.
Every time the term of a copyright is due to end, the author or his or her heirs lobby Congress for extensions and Congress obliges them.

Inquiring minds want to know.
From Weather Underground:
Extremely dangerous Hurricane Florence continues to maintain Category 4 strength as it steams west-northwest towards a devasting encounter with North Carolina and South Carolina. Florence is a storm whose strength, impacts, and unorthodox track all point to outcomes that will likely lie outside historical experience for much of the Southeast U.S. The odds continue to increase that Florence will stall on Friday and move slowly west-southwestward along the coast for several days, bringing a devastating rainfall, storm surge, and wind event for a large swath of North and South Carolina.
Wave heights to 83 ft were measured early this morning under the NE quadrant of Hurricane Florence.
Florence's environment is very conducive for intensification.
The truth is never as interesting as wild speculation.
And it's not going to only be pig poo that will be spread
every super fund site in the storms way is going to be in the flood waters. That this country has allowed the huge factory farms where animals live in heinous conditions and their waste is collected in ponds and then sprayed over fields where the wind spreads it over areas where people live is another thing that people didn't vote for. Most of the toxic wastes from all factories usually end up where poor people live. The pet coke in Chicago is across the street from a poor neighborhoods. People develop all kinds of lung diseases from it. Think that could have been built where rich people live? Me neither.

U.S. officials suspect Russia in mystery 'attacks' on diplomats in Cuba, China
The strong suspicion that Russia was behind the alleged attacks is backed by signals intelligence, meaning intercepted communications, say U.S. officials.
WASHINGTON — Intelligence agencies investigating mysterious "attacks" that led to brain injuries in U.S. personnel in Cuba and China consider Russia to be the main suspect, three U.S. officials and two others briefed on the investigation tell NBC News.
The suspicion that Russia is likely behind the alleged attacks is backed up by evidence from communications intercepts, known in the spy world as signals intelligence, amassed during a lengthy and ongoing investigation involving the FBI, the CIA and other U.S. agencies. The officials declined to elaborate on the nature of the intelligence.
The evidence is not yet conclusive enough, however, for the U.S. to formally assign blame to Moscow for incidents that started in late 2016 and have continued in 2018, causing a major rupture in U.S.-Cuba relations.
They declined to elaborate on the nature ..... but we decided to write this anyway.

Not sure which article you are referring to
If your stock is common stock and nobody wants to buy it, the price goes to zero and you get nothing. There is no concept of getting your original money back. If it is preferred stock you have a claim on the company's assets. I can't imagine a company with net assets and nobody wants the stock at any price. The preferred share price even in a bankruptcy would reflect its claim on the net liquidation value of the company. If that value was zero, your preferred shares would also go to zero.
The truth is never as interesting as wild speculation.
It's the Wall Street ponzi article. And the stock was Apple, but I have no idea what kind of stock it is.

Let me phrase this a little better.
When a company is liquidated (whatever section of bankruptcy code that is, and this may vary by state), payouts go (in order):
1. Employees. This is generally just the few days since the last pay period, may include accrued vacation time, probably doesn't include accrued sick time. Your 401k and whatever is held by another entity and should not be affected. Of course any company stock you are holding from a stock purchase plan or whatever is gone.
2. Secured creditors. This means bond holders and preferred stock holders. Bond holders get paid in full if possible. I'm not 100% sure about preferred stock, if memory serves there is a "par value" which has almost nothing to do with what you paid for it (you almost certainly paid a lot more), but you may get your $1 per share or whatever the par value was if there was enough left over from the bond holders. If there isn't enough, you get a share, or you may get nothing.
3. Unsecured creditors. This is suppliers, utilities, rent, company credit cards, etc.
4. Common stock holders get a share of whatever is left. Usually that is nothing. If a company can actually cover the first three categories they probably have enough money to keep going and won't be liquidated.
I'm not sure where court-ordered judgements would go. Maybe they're unsecured creditors, maybe they get paid even before the secured creditors. I can see a situation where a company is getting by and gets hit with some huge settlement that they just can't hope to handle and that drives them to bankruptcy and then to liquidation.
The truth is never as interesting as wild speculation.
I think the bankruptcy attorneys get theirs off of the top,
even before employees.

Good evening, joe.
Ominous news this evening, appears that hurricanes aren't the only forces gaining strength.
Sitting tight with an old cat on table beside my laptop and two little doggies sleeping nearby.
Damn, this word needs leadership and in a strange way, i see Mother Nature saying so.
Hope you folks can come and visit.
As always, thank you for the work and hoping you've a great evening.
Hello S 7 !

That is very cool, QMS. Saw it--
or a photo similar to it--on Twitter earlier today.
The name of the Twitter account is Land of cuteness@landpsychology,
in case anyone is interested. They have beaucoup animal photos--mostly dogs and cats, but from time to time, they include photos of wildlife, insects, etc. (I posted a dog and Kookaburra photo from it, last night.)

Everyone thinks they have the best dog, and none of them are wrong.
Hi, Joe & Gang! Got caught up
looking at Medicare (RX) Part D material that came today (right after I posted earlier comments), so have absolutely 'nuttin' to offer this evening.
Except, 'hi,' and thanks for tonight's EB. I'll be swinging back by to read, later. Oh, my best to anyone who's in the path of the storm--mostly Carolinas, I think. Take care Smiley, Nancy, and any other 99'ers who might be impacted. Fervently hoping that Florence doesn't stall; and, that she continues to be downgraded.
Everyone have a nice evening!

Good evening, Joe. So, will you be adding a caveat to your
posts that they are not to be read in EU countries unless the reader agrees to assume any and all costs caused by EU law?

Folks, take it from me, you can expatriate to try to get away, but wherever you are — excepting maybe North Korea and Cuba (but, uh-oh: "watch this space") — American capital always catches up with you, shaping your daily life and filling everyone's eyes and ears via pop culture and marketing.
The movement that brings down this system of global capital is going to have to be worldwide.

Have you see this tweet from Tulsi, on 9/11?
While President Trump & VP Pence give 9/11 speeches about how much they care about the victims of al-Qaeda's attack on our country, they are simultaneously acting as protectors of AQ in Syria/Idlib, threatening Russia and Syria that if they attack al-Qaeda, we will punish them.

Christmas do, come on and do the conga...
Winter Solstice
A lucky group of people will be spending sunset (which will occur at 3.15pm according to The Orcadian website) in Maeshowe, Stenness.
This Neolithic tomb, consisting of entrance passage and mound-like burial chamber, is thought to date back to around 3000BC. On the shortest days of the year, the final rays of the setting sun spread down the entrance passage and project a golden door shape onto the back wall of the chamber. The event can be seen on this live web-feed: http://www.maeshowe.co.uk/.
Pictured is the illustration accompanying our signed copy of George Mackay Brown's beautiful poem Maeshowe Winter. The page is decorated with silver glitter and the words lighten up this short dark little day.
'Children sing under a street lamp, their voices like leaves of light.'

Christ-mas do do do, push pineapple, shake a tree...
Yes. Tonight we shall drink, dance and be merry. Booze shall be downed, congas will be led and morals shall be cast loosely aside as we spill wine, straddle photocopiers and make inappropriate passes at each other. Our office party will make Sodom and Gomorrah look like an episode of Sesame Street.
Photographs of the debauchery* will be posted on Monday.
*Which, of course, will actually be photos of a perfectly pleasant, civilised and tastefully lit soiree ending no later than 7pm. Don't worry tax payers!
301 years ago today
Pictured is a letter written on the 18th of December 1708 to Robert Douglas, Admiral Depute of Orkney.
A ship had been wrecked at Deersound and the crew were stranded. This letter was written by the skipper of the ship, John Maw, who required free passes for his men so that 'the poor men may go home in safety without any Molestation.'
Despite being 300 years old, the letter is in good condition and is clear and easy to read. It is part of the Joseph Storer Clouston collection of papers.

White Christmas?
The snow also seems set to continue up until Christmas. This is lovely for folk staying put but not so great for those hoping to fly/sail/drive South next week.
It's a great excuse for another delightful snowy pic from the photographic archive at any rate. This week it is a Tom Kent image of Willow Road, Kirkwall.

Wuthering Heights at the archive
I am currently wading through a family tree where nearly every woman is named Catherine and all the men seem to be called Peter or James. One Peter, the son of Peter and Catherine, has married a girl who is not only named Catherine, but has the same maiden name as his mother! His brother married a Catherine too. Then called his daughter Catherine. And his sons Peter and James.
Drawing diagrams helps but a few infedelities and their illegitimate results are making things very complicated indeed.
They keep swapping houses too!

Christmas Card
The Ba' ('ball' pronounced in Orcadian), is a form of hand-ball played throughout the streets of Kirkwall every Christmas and New Year's Day.
The inhabitants of Kirkwall are divided into 'Uppies' and 'Doonies' ('Up-the-gates' and 'Down-the Gates'), teams which are determined by birth or their first entry to Kirkwall. As most children in Orkney are now born in Balfour hospital in Uppie territory (or in Aberdeen meaning a re-entry to Kirkwall from the airport via Palace Road ), Doonie fathers have been known to drive their new-born babes home in a widely circuitous route to ensure their allegiance.
The general idea is for the teams to get the ba' to their own 'goals'. These are designated places in the town. The Uppies are aiming for a wall situated at the meeting of Junction Road, Main Street and New Scapa Road and the Doonies want to immerse the ba' in water along the Harbour front. The players can use pretty much any means necessary and the game is typically long and rough. Open play is unusual and the ba' moves along the streets in the heart of a writhing, sweaty scrum for most of the day. It is not uncommon to see steam rising from the huddle of players as their body heat meets the cold winter air.
There is a boys' ba' played in the morning and a men's ba' which kicks off at 1 0'clock. This means that there can be two games going on at the same time, making the streets of Kirkwall a hazardous place to walk.
A woman's ba' was played on Christmas day 1945 and New Year's Day 1946 and women have been known to take part over the years. The vast majority of players, however, are men and boys.

Ever get the feeling you're missing something?
Pity us
The work of an archivist or a librarian is a fairly physical one. One may think that the signing of a deposit form or the stamping of a book is as manual as it gets but au contraire mes amis, it is a work out for the arms! Carrying boxes to and fro, stacking shelves, moving furniture, assembling shelving... it is my perfect gym; full of books and not a sweaty towel in sight.
Tuesday, 8 December 2009
We are all trying to forget the fact that the boxes will be moved back again in about six months time and the new shelves will be heaving with books and papers before we know it...

Deck the halls with tat and fibre-optics
Wowsers! It's Christmas decoration time and, as you can see, we've gone all out. Unfortunately, our digital camera does not take videos so you cannot witness the wonder of our ever-changing fibre optic tree, nor our 8-setting twinkling fairy lights which now festoon the Orkney Room journals.
Do you find this out-of-focus image of a betinselled George Mackay Brown with rom-lit Island Doctor an offensive travesty upon travesties or an eclectic post-modern delight? Are you boredly indifferent? Simply record your view in our newly glitzy comments book (see below.) Or alternatively, leave an outraged/fawning comment on the blog. We have had two puzzled reactions already.

70 Years Ago Today
It is so cold today that heaters are ablaze and members of staff are swaddled in scarves. At least we are safe and can move about freely unlike the residents of 1939 Kirkwall.
And it is time to put up the Christmas decorations...

Compared to Chinese Culture, we Westerners are only adolescents. Not only when it comes to Art but also, as you write, the emphasis that is put on a well-balanced mind and inner peace and tranquility.
But Western Culture brought us ZBrush.
To me your works are beyond top row.
I also visited your Artstation page and your calligraphy and drawings ( that bridge in Home! and Yu, that fish!) are on the same level as your ZBrush works.
Thanks for sharing.

It was a long day yesterday, with a late finish on Sunday night/Monday morning followed by an early start in Austria, in order to cover the 750 miles back to Paris.
I left the gasthof near the Red Bull Ring when there was still a six on the clock and headed north, through the mountains and tunnels, up towards the Danube and the celebrated university town of Passau. I soon found myself amongst convoys of F1 trucks of all kinds, en route to Silverstone. We don't often get to see F1 on the move, but the demands of this year's daft calendar meant that there was frenetic activity even before the two Mercedes collided. F1 on the move is an impressive thing to watch. At one point I overtook no fewer than 10 Ferrari trucks one after another and I saw several more as the day went on. There were seven Sauber transporters and several Mercedes vehicles. There were TV trucks, tyre trucks, diamond vision screens, merchandising (although not much) and GP2 and Porsche teams. I didn't see any of Bernie's TV fleet. Everyone was rushing north to Calais and Dunkirk. I am pretty sure that some of the unbranded trucks were also carrying F1 equipment such as the Paddock Club paraphernalia and other team odds and sods.
I guessed that I would go on seeing F1 trucks until I turned west at Nuremberg, while the others would likely go straight up towards Wurzburg, Frankfurt and Cologne and, as I turned off, I watched a Ferrari transporter doing exactly that. But, as I headed west towards Heilbronn, I passed several more Sauber transporters. I had stopped for a snooze but they did not look like the same ones I had seen earlier. What were they doing? I guessed that perhaps they had figured out that the French toll roads have fewer vehicles and are faster than German autobahns, which are in a state of constant rebuilding at the moment and prone to traffic jams.
I saw another Sauber truck as I pottered past Hockenheim. One of the joys of endless travel is that you know stuff that is useful, be that a shortcut in Moscow airport or a good place to have lunch in Speyer. I was in no great rush to reach Paris at rush hour, so lunch beside the Rhine seemed eminently agreeable. Before long I was in a biergarten, with the sun shining, an accordion playing, and the sound of chattering Germans around me. Barges the size of Rutland were passing by, including one painted the colour of the Saubers. I presumed this was heading for Sweden, laden with cuckoo clocks and other products that southern Germany produces which the Swedes cannot live without. The restaurant is in the shadow of the great cathedral of Speyer, famous as an imperial city in Holy Roman Empire times and for something to do with Martin Luther (of the non-royal variety). I remembered being taught about something called the Diet of Speyer, and so decided to give it a try…
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that when one discusses going out for dinner, people suggest an Italian, an Indian, a Chinese or a Thai, but no-one ever says: "Let's go out for a German", despite the fact that hamburgers and frankfurters today play a huge waist-expanding role in modern global cuisine. Visits to Germanic nations do tend to be a nightmare for vegetarians, not that I care, as I do like an occasional schnitzel. Oddly, this year's Austrian GP was rather a schnitzel-free zone, because we ate either at events, not at all or in the Media Centre, where they spoiled us. The logic was simple. They knew that their beloved Styria is beautiful, but the region doesn't have easy access to vast culinary choice, unless you drive a long way of an evening.
They also provided TV coverage of the Euro 2016 football, so that soccer fans could watch their countries being knocked out of the competition. Soccer brings out funny things in people. There was the gruff German reporter wandering around in a jacket supporting Iceland and the normally-sane man from AFP who decided to wear a fake chicken on his head. When he explained that it was not a chicken but rather a coq, I gave up, lest I insult him by accident. He was delighted to see the French avoiding being humiliated as the English had been, by a small island with a population of three men, two sheep and some cod. The English defeat before the weekend resulted in some inevitable jokes about Brexit. I have tried many times over the years to explain to Europeans that the F1 race at Silverstone is not the English GP, but they tend to glaze over because they couldn't care less and do not view the UK as the centre of the world, unlike some deluded folk living on the island, who have yet to come to terms with the changing world.
After lunch I had a short snooze in honour of road safety (Jean Todt would be proud of me) and then set off through the Pfalz Forest, to emerge near Saarbrucken, where I had the bizarre experience of passing a Sauber transporter coming in the opposite direction. He was driving from the east to go north and I was arriving from the south to go west. I was sure then that it would be the last Sauber truck of the day.
I worked my way across eastern France as evening drew on, stopping now and then for coffees and then just before Reims I nearly spun off as I passed a rest area when I spotted yet another Sauber truck, parked up there. I fully expected to see another when I drove up the Champs Élysées in the evening, late enough to attempt a drive through in Paris, doing a quick "eyes right" as I passed the FIA building…

There are number of things about yoga that make it particular appealing, chiefly because it helps to promote mental and physical well being. The purpose of the philosophy and technique is to achieve a heightened awareness, and ultimately, to attain spiritual enlightenment.

Watch This Secret Crush Revealed: She's Dreaming of a Tall Adonis … But He Comes Up Short
Can she overlook his small stature for a chance at love?
Chances are you've had a crush on someone at some point in your life. And just reading those words likely brings back vivid memories that you may not be so excited to recall. (Sorry about that.)
Well, we're here for you. Bravo's new digital series, Secret Crush, explores real-life crushes who are ready to get some real-life answers. This story starts with an admirer who's revealing his long-time crush on a glamorous woman who attends all his parties. He thinks she adores him ... but is he right? Watch the video above to see it all go down.
How do you handle crushes? We asked experts for tips on turning someone down gently, but also in a way where they actually understand what's happening.
"Honesty and kindness have to lead the discussion," advises Alex Williamson el-Effendi, Head of Brand at Bumble. "This takes us all back to grade school, but think of the Golden Rule — put yourself in the other person's shoes, and respond in the way you hope someone would respond to you."
"When someone doesn't 'get it' the first time you let him or her down, especially after a date, it's important to first look at whether you were clear in your desire not to see this person again," Erika Ettin, Online Dating Coach and Founder of A Little Nudge advises. "'I'm busy' gives someone hope. 'I didn't feel a connection' doesn't."
Personal Space is Bravo's home for all things "relationships," from romance to friendships to family to co-workers. Ready for a commitment? Then Like us on Facebook to stay connected to our daily updates.

I just started using a program called MarkdownPad which is a Markdown file editor.
My problem is that the program is a ClickOnce application and if I go to a folder (using Windows) and try to open .Markdown files, I am not able to select MarkdownPad as the program to open these files.
So is there anyway to make ClickOnce programs show up as an option for opening a filetype like you can with other installed programs?

Taste the Rainbow… Doritos?!?
There's Nothing Bolder Than Being Yourself
Doritos is showing its support for LGBT teenagers with limited-run rainbow chips. Which signals that branding-wise it is moving into a rather mainstream territory highlighting an almost generational divide, or social media's progressive side. As brands seek to highlight their diversity and inclusion, not just for the small communities of marginalized voices, but for the benefit too of their loved ones, friends and family.
This is indeed a bold move, that takes Corporate Responsibility marketing tactics to a whole other level by aligning themselves with a suicide prevention, and empowerment campaign. That having done it once is enough to ingratiate and create a lasting brand moment with such a simple gif, commercial, and good graphics.
Of course their commitment will and does go further than that, but for social media's perspective this isn't always a safe choice, but recently reactions of people, even famous ones, help buffer any risk that might be associated with it. Target among others had a vigilante commenter for starters, but then suffered their own "bathroom scare" debacle and faced it head on. As one must do these days. Much easier to do when you have a PR Team and graphics department. Not as easy if you are a solo-entrepreneur or microbrand. That doesn't mean you can't learn from their tactics, or evolve as these issues continue to percolate to the top during a contentious political season.
Just do so with care and caution, but not so much that you are then perceived as being against something, by not exerting natural support. That is where a good strategy trumps, making a stray comment/post on the fly. Like this tweet below illustrates perfectly:

Hello.So there you go.
I'm sorry that you didn't like my review. I stand accused of being lazy, half-arsed and, worst of all, Johnny Vaughan-inspired. That's hard to bear.
I do take my responsibility to the productions that I review very seriously, particularly when writing for Time Out, which we all know has a disproportionately high influence on the fate of London fringe shows. I know what it's like to make theatre; I don't take lightly the effort involved. If I ever seem to – well, I regret that.
I don't pretend to be objective, even if (I'm just agreeing with Mark Fisher here) I see no need to explain in every review that this is just 'one person's opinion,' blah blah. I think that would make for boring writing. And I do try to write entertainingly, which might be just another word for 'glib', 'superficial' or (an accusation frequently levelled at me) 'like a giddy schoolgirl.' According to taste.
I don't measure plays against 'a standard seemingly set at some meeting in about 1965' – which was, incidentally, long before I was born. Although I do agree that that standard exerts a tyrannous influence over British theatre criticism. If I have a bias, it's for devised theatre of the Improbable / Complicite / Told By An Idiot school – which isn't known for its 'coherent plot' and 'political and social themes.'
That apart, most of your comments, about 300-word reviews, the star system, et al, are truisms with which most theatre writers (as opposed to arts editors or newspaper editors) would heartily agree. Myself included.
So: apologies again for making you so angry. I soldier on, trying not to be fatuous. Best wishes with your blog.
Thanks to Brian for getting back to me. And for Mark and Andrew for commenting as well. And it wasindeed slightly lazy of me to just pull out the usual '1956 and all that' sledgehammer when I should know that Brian's own company are so consistently imaginative and inovative.
And I would have to agree - my main point is hardly radical - 300 words suffocates both engagement with a performance and the style with which someone can express that. But what can you do?
