Murder charge laid as details revealed of mid-day stabbing attack of Gail Fawcett
The man accused of carrying out a vicious premeditated attack against his defenceless common-law wife had called paramedics for mental health help after he worried he had done too much cocaine, less than 24 hours before the fatal stabbing.
Gino Langevin, 45, appeared in court Wednesday morning to face a first-degree murder charge in the death of his long-time partner Gail Fawcett, 54, who was stabbed in the heart in the middle of her street Tuesday afternoon.
Langevin wore a dark shirt and jacket and looked dishevelled at his court appearance. The wide-eyed man scanned the packed courtroom before identifying himself.
For the family of his alleged victim, news of Fawcett's death and the horrific details surrounding the daytime attack have left them devastated.
Fawcett, originally from Sarnia, Ont., is the mother of two adult sons – Jeremiah and Son. Her sister, Sheila Fawcett-Yendall, told the Citizen that she wasn't yet ready to talk about her sister's death but that family was gathering to be together at her Kemptville home. A third sister had died from cancer just two months ago and their mother had been diagnosed with liver cancer just days later.
"It has been a hard road lately," Fawcett-Yendall said.
Fawcett-Yendall posted on Facebook that she was "lost for words" and "feeling so numb" after the attack left her sister dying in the street in front of the Anna Avenue home she shared with Langevin.
Condolences for the slain woman poured in on social media where family members and those who knew her remembered her smile and laughter. Friends remembered a woman who was proud of her sons.
Though investigators are still unclear about a motive for the killing, it is clear that the accused killer had attempted to seek medical help in the hours before the stabbing.
Paramedics responded to the couple's rental home at 209 Anna Ave. on Monday evening for a medical call – when Langevin is believed to have voluntarily asked to go to hospital out of concern for his mental health after telling first responders he had consumed cocaine. Police believe him to be a long-time drug user.
Langevin was taken to hospital in an ambulance but returned to the home sometime before Tuesday afternoon. There were no grounds to detain him under the Mental Health Act at the time, and police did not attend the call on Monday evening.
On Tuesday afternoon, a second call was made to paramedics – also a medical call. By the time the paramedic vehicle was approaching what would later be a homicide scene on Anna Avenue, an altercation between a man and woman had already spilled onto the street.
Having heard the sirens, the man apparently went back into the home and retrieved the knife police allege is the murder weapon.
The first paramedic on the scene was speaking to Fawcett outside the house when a man came out and tried to stab the paramedic, chasing him to his vehicle. The paramedic was able to get into his vehicle and lock the door, then used his radio to send out a distress call.
After attempting to open the door of the paramedic's vehicle, the man ran to Fawcett.
"He's stabbing her," the paramedic said into his radio.
Police say the man partially undressed Fawcett and then removed his own clothes. Discarded clothing remained visible Tuesday as police processed the scene.
Langevin and Fawcett were in a relationship for nearly a decade. The couple was not known to the partner assault unit, the Ottawa police squad that investigates domestic violence.
Langevin worked for several years as a retail salesman at The Fireplace Center & Patio Shop's west-end location.
Owner Andy Cotnam said the man he knew as an employee was "good-natured, never angry, jovial, well-dressed." He called the alleged attack "so out of character," but conceded that he didn't know Langevin outside of the work hours they spent together.
Defence lawyer Michael Smith said his client has never been in trouble with the police – Langevin has no previous criminal record – and the charge against him – the most severe in the Criminal Code – is "somewhat of a shock for him."
Smith could not say whether he will ask the court for a psychiatric evaluation for his client.
Langevin is next scheduled to appear in court Aug. 10.
The death was the city's fifth homicide of the year. Fawcett is the only woman to be killed in Ottawa in 2015.

Sometimes we hold on to things so tightly within ourselves, it stops us from having room to breathe and space to grow.
Sometimes it just doesn't matter.
It's ok. It's just the freedom of breathing space and expansion arriving in our life.
For a long time I have wanted things to go a certain way. I have had glimpses of that bliss but never any real consistency to go deeper and experience even more soul filled LOVE that I know resides beneath the next layer.
The miracle of today when I woke up (Literally and figuratively) is that it doesn't matter. It's all ok either way. I don't have to wish and hope so hard for things to be a certain way. I can find peace where I am. I can be ok with myself. I can be ok if it doesn't show up right now. It's alright. And that feels like such a huge relief.
I encourage you this week to lesson your grip on the things that matter to you so much and in the process you might just find some peace.
My picture of LOVE this week was right in front of me as I drove home from work on the freeway…

Following God and listening to their hearts has led one Newcomerstown family to not only become foster parents but they also adopted an orphan boy from Haiti.
Tim and Danelle Kilpatrick said they were inspired and determined to help children after attending a Steven Curtis Chapman concert in January 2007. At the concert, they discussed orphan nurseries in China. Tim said the nurseries are quiet because the babies know that no one will come when they cry so they don't cry. That moved the Kilpatricks.
From that moment on, they knew they wanted to help children in any way possible.
At first, the couple, which has three biological children (ages 16, 14 and 10), decided they wanted to be a foster parent to an international child.
"We wanted to go where the need was," Tim said.
However, the program requires the foster parents to return the child when the biological parent(s) is able to safely take the child back. But, that made the Kilpatricks think twice.
Tim said he couldn't deal with it if the child was returned back to the biological parents and the child was put in danger. He said they just couldn't do it.
That's when the couple looked into adoption of an international child. It was in the fall of 2007 that the paperwork was put into place to adopt a child from an orphanage in Haiti. That orphanage, His Step Home School, was managed by a couple from Lima, Ohio. The couple suggested that they meet and visit with a boy named Charlie.
Finally in March 2008, they met Charlie for the first time. The Kilpatricks were able to spend a week visiting him in Haiti.
It would be another 1-1/2 years and an act of God, to speed up the adoption process and bring Charlie home to Newcomerstown.
The 7.0 magnitude earthquake that rocked Haiti on Jan. 12 attributed to the speedy adoption of Charlie.
On Jan. 27, six-year-old Charlie became an official part of the Kilpatrick family and took his rightful place in their Newcomerstown home.
"He's adjusted so well," Danelle said. "It's working out great!"
Besides seeking the help of a translation book because Charlie speaks Creole, the entire Kilpatrick family is adjusting well.
Danelle said Charlie has had to learn to slow down when eating because it was always a rush to eat at the orphanage; one, not knowing if there will be any additional food and, two, wondering if someone would steal their food.
She said his main diet was rice but he has adjusted very well to many new types of food.
The cold temperatures have also been an adjustment. When Charlie would go outside, he said, "Ouch, ouch, ouch!" But the snow and cold temperatures have now become an enjoyment. He spent almost two hours outside sled-riding the other day, Tim said.
As far as Charlie's domestic adoption in the United States, the Kilpatricks do not know what that will entail since there are no guidelines for this situation. But, they hope to start the process soon.
Tim said there were some 900 children waiting to be adopted from Haiti when they first started the adoption process for Charlie. Now, 890 children are now on humanitarian parole in America. (That is the same status that Charlie is considered.)
"When God wants you to do something, then God supplies it," the Kilpatricks said.
Tim and Danelle are also foster parents. After becoming certified, they wanted only two foster children to be placed in their home. However, a death of another foster parent and the hope of reuniting a family of three children, led the Kilpatricks to be foster parents to three children.
Danelle said if you would have told her that there would have been seven children in a four-bedroom house, she wouldn't have believed it. Now, they said they couldn't see their life any other way.
Danelle and Tim said the spiritual and financial support they've received has been overwhelming. The Kilpatricks are members of the First Baptist Church of Newcomerstown.
"Our church family has been very supportive with praying, being excited and sending clothes (for Charlie)," Danelle said. "Its been nice having the people excited with us."
The Kilpatricks are also very willing to provide guidance for anyone else seeking international adoption. They said they would love to help any family wanting to bring a needy child home to the United States.
Basically, the Kilpatricks just want to help children in any way possible and they are doing just that.

When it comes to slinging mud and getting hit in the face with it, no one has more experience than Bell helmets. Ranging from the new retro Moto-3 (quite probably the most iconic motorcycle helmet ever, a favorite of racers like Steve McQueen and Malcolm Smith!) to the Moto 9 and MX-9 being used today by modern MotoX Professionals catching big air and doing tricks, Bell Helmets is the choice of RSD.
When we're ripping laps on vintage dirt or riding down Santa Monica Blvd on a Sportster the timeless style of the Moto-3 looks right at home. When it comes to big tricks or Hooligan Racing kicks, we call on the Moto-9 or MX-9. And if we're cruising the coastline on a GS Adventure or Ducati Scrambler, the MX-9 Adventure is on our heads. No matter what the conditions, Bell has a helmet to suite.

Guard What You Have Learned—Day 5
Colossians 2: 8
"See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ."
We conclude this week's devotional meditating on this thought: What Christ has offered us in the gospel is sufficient for all men.
Paul is reminding the Colossians there could be no Christ plus something else, but just Christ only.
Many erroneous teachings have gained access into the house of God because there are some who refuse to accept only the work Christ has done. They were intermingling teachings.
What Christ offers us does not need endorsement from neither contemporary or past scholars. His word is enough and has always been enough.
Our devotional passage says, "rather than according to Christ." The true measure of value regarding any philosophy, teaching, or tradition is whether it lines up with Christ as accords with Scripture.
Whatever insights, thoughts, wisdom and ideas one received, their roots must begin and end with Christ.
Among the Colossae group, "The Judaizers presented their philosophy as being in full accord with Christ, as completing the gospel and thus also the Christian faith and life."[1]
We must remember, it is what Christ has already said about a matter that determines if something is empty or deceitful.
There is nothing for us to add to what God's Word has already said.
God has obligated himself only to fulfill what he says in the Word. This is why it is necessary for us to guard what we have learned and to be selective with regard to who we allow to speak into our lives.
Our world today is full of those who claim to have special knowledge and revelation from God. However, it is not hard to see that much of their knowledge and revelation contradict basic Bible truths.
Let us hold fast to God's word and his word only.
Until next week, God bless you.
Lord, thank you for your uncompromising word, please let your word reign supreme in our lives, Amen.

At first Diable would crowd himself into the
smallest possible space, groveling close to the floor; but as the music came
nearer and nearer he was forced to uprear, his back jammed into the logs, his
fore legs fanning the air as though to beat off the rippling waves of sound.
He still kept his teeth together, but severe muscular contractions attacked his
body, strange twitchings and jerkings, till he was all aquiver and writing in
silent torment. As he lost control, his jaws spasmodically wrenched apart and
deep, throaty vibrations issued forth, too low in the register of sound for
human ear to catch. And then, as he stood reared with nostrils distended, eyes
dilated, slaver dripping, hair bristling in helpless rage, arose the long
wolf-howl. It came with a slurring rush upward, swelling to a great
heartbreaking burst of sound and dying away in sadly cadenced woe—then
the next rush upward, octave upon octave; the bursting heart; and the infinite
sorrow and misery, fainting, fading, falling, and dying slowly away.
It was fit for hell. And Leclère, with fiendish ken, seemed to divine each particular nerve and heartstring and, with long wails and tremblings and sobbing minors, to make it yield up its last least shred of grief. It was frightful, and for twenty-four hours after, the dog was nervous and unstrung, starting at common sounds, tripping over his own shadow, but withal, vicious and masterful with his team-mates. Nor did he show signs of a breaking spirit. Rather did he grow more grim and taciturn, biding his time with an inscrutable patience which began to puzzle and weigh upon Leclère. The dog would lie in the firelight, motionless, for hours, gazing straight before him at Leclère and hating him with his bitter eyes.
Often the man felt that he had bucked up against the very essence of life—the unconquerable essence that swept the hawk down out of the sky like a feathered thunderbolt, that drove the great gray goose across the zones, that hurled the spawning salmon through two thousand miles of boiling Yukon flood. At such times he felt impelled to express his own unconquerable essence; and with strong drink, wild music and Diable, he indulged in vast orgies, wherein he pitted his puny strength in the face of things and challenged all that was, and had been, as was yet to be. "Dere is somet'ing dere," he affirmed, when the rhythmed vagaries of his mind touched the secret chords of the dog's being and brought forth the long, lugubrious howl. "Ah pool eet out wid bot' my han's, so, an' so. Ha! Ha! Eet is fonee! Eet is ver' fonee! De mans swear, de leetle bird go peep-peep, Diable heem go yow-yow—an' eet is all de ver' same t'ing."
Father Gautier, a worthy priest, once reproved him with instances of concrete perditions. He never reproved him again.
"Eet may be so, mon pére," he made answer. "An' Ah t'ink Ah go troo hell a-snappin', lak de hemlock troo de fire. Eh, mon pére?"
But all bad things come to an end as well as good, and so with Black Leclère. On the summer low-water, in a poling-boat, he left McDougall for Sunrise. He left McDougall in company with Timothy Brown, and arrived at Sunrise by himself. Further, it was known that they had quarreled just previous to pulling out; for the "Lizzie," a wheezy ten-ton sternwheeler, twenty-four hours behind, beat Leclère in by three days. And when he did get in, it was with a clean-drilled bullet-hole through his shoulder-muscle and a tale of ambush and murder.
A strike had been made at Sunrise, and things had changed considerably. With the infusion of several hundred gold-seekers, a deal of whisky, and half a dozen equipped gamblers, the missionary had seen the page of his years of labor with the Indians wiped clean. When the squaws became preoccupied with cooking beans and keeping the fire going for the wifeless miners, and the bucks with swapping their warm furs for black bottles and broken timepieces, the took to his bed, said "Bless me!" several times, and departed to his final accounting in a rough-hewn oblong box. Whereupon the gamblers moved their roulette and faro tables into the mission-house, and the click of chips and clink of glasses went up from dawn till dark and to dawn again.
Now Timothy Brown was well beloved among these adventurers of the north. The one thing against him was his quick temper and ready fist—a little thing, for which his kind heart and forgiving hand more than atoned. On the other hand, there was nothing to atone for Black Leclère. He was "black," as more than one remembered deed bore witness, while he was as well hated as the other was beloved. So the men of Sunrise put a dressing on his shoulder and haled him before Judge Lynch.
It was a simple affair. He had quarreled with Timothy Brown at McDougall. With Timothy Brown he had left McDougall. Without Timothy Brown he had arrived at Sunrise. Considered in the light of his evilness, the unanimous conclusion was that he had killed Timothy Brown. On the other hand, Leclère acknowledged their facts, but challenged their conclusion and gave his own explanation. Twenty miles out of Sunrise he and Timothy Brown were poling the boat along the rocky shore. From that shore two rifle-shots rang out. Timothy Brown pitched out of the boat and went down bubbling red, and that was the last of Timothy Brown. He, Leclère, pitched into the bottom of the boat with a stinging shoulder. He lay very quietly, peeping at the shore. After a time two Indians stuck up their heads and came out to the water's edge, carrying between them a birch-bark canoe. As they launched it, Leclère let fly. He potted one, who went over the side after the manner of Timothy Brown. The other dropped into the bottom of the canoe, and then canoe and poling-boat went down the stream in a drifting battle. Only they hung up on a split current, and the canoe passed on one side of an island, the poling-boat on the other. That was the last of the canoe, and he came on into Sunrise. Yes, from the way the Indian in the canoe jumped, he was sure he had potted him. That was all.
This explanation was not deemed adequate. They gave him ten hours' grace while the "Lizzie" steamed down to investigate. Ten hours later she came wheezing back to Sunrise. There had been nothing to investigate. No evidence had been found to back up his statements. They told him to make his will, for he possessed a fifty-thousand-dollar Sunrise claim and they were a law-abiding as well as a law-giving breed.
Leclère shrugged his shoulders. "Bot one t'ing," he said; "a leetle, w'at you call, favor—a leetle favor, dat is eet. I gif my feefty t'ousan' dollair to de church. I gif my husky-dog, Diable, to de devil. De leetle favor? Firs' you hang heem, an' den you hang me. Eet is good, eh?"
Good it was, they agreed, that Hell's Spawn should break trail for his master across the last divide, and the court was adjourned down to the river-bank, where a big spruce-tree stood by itself. Slackwater Charley put a hangman's knot in the end of a hauling-line, and the noose was slipped over Leclère's head and pulled tight around his neck. His hands were tied behind his back, and he was assisted to the top of a cracker-box. Then the running end of the line was passed over an overhanging branch, drawn taut, and made fast. To kick the box out from under would leave him dancing on the air.
"Now for the dog," said Webster Shaw, sometime mining engineer. "You'll have to rope him, Slackwater."
Leclère grinned. Slackwater took a chew of tobacco, rove a running noose, and proceeded leisurely to coil a few turns in his hand. He paused once or twice to brush particularly offensive mosquitoes from off his face. Everybody was brushing mosquitoes, except Leclère, about whose head a small cloud was distinctly visible. Even Diable, lying full-stretched on the ground, with his fore paws rubbed the pests away from eyes and mouth.
But while Slackwater waited for Diable to lift his head, a faint call came down the quiet air and a man was seen waving his arms and running across the flat from Sunrise. It was the storekeeper.
"C-call 'er off, boys," he panted, as he came in among them. "Little Sandy and Bernadotte's jes' got in," he explained with returning breath. "Landed down below an' come up by the short cut. Got the Beaver with 'm. Picked 'm up in his canoe, stuck in a back channel, with a couple of bullet-holes in 'm. Other buck was Klog-Kutz, the one that knocked spots out of his squaw and dusted."
"Eh? W'at Ah say? Eh?" Leclère cried exultantly. "Dat de one fo' sure! Ah know. Ah spik true."
"The thing to do is to teach these damned Siwashes a little manners," spoke Webster Shaw. "They're getting fat and sassy, and we'll have to bring them down a peg. Round in all the bucks and string up the Beaver for an object-lesson. That's the program. Come on and let's see what he's got to say for himself."
"Heh, m'sieu'!" Leclère called, as the crowd began to melt away through the twilight in the direction of Sunrise, "Ah lak ver' moch to see de fon."
"Oh, we'll turn you loose when we come back," Webster Shaw shouted over his shoulder. "In the mean time, meditate on your sins and the ways of Providence. It will do you good, so be grateful."
As is the way with men who are accustomed to great hazards, whose nerves are healthy and trained to patience, so Leclère settled himself down to the long wait—which is to say that he reconciled his mind to it. There was no settling for the body, for the taught rope forced him to stand rigidly erect. The least relaxation of the leg-muscles pressed the rough-fibered noose into his neck, while the upright position caused him much pain in his wounded shoulder. He projected his under lip and expelled his breath upward along his face to blow the mosquitoes away from his eyes. But the situation had its compensation. To be snatched from the maw of death was well worth a little bodily suffering, only it was unfortunate that he should miss the hanging of the Beaver.
And so he mused, till his eyes chanced to fall upon Diable, head between fore paws and stretched on the ground asleep. And then Leclère ceased to muse. He studied the animal closely, striving to sense if the sleep were real or feigned. The dog's sides were heaving regularly, but Leclère felt that the breath came and went a shade too quickly; also he felt there was a vigilance or an alertness to every hair which belied unshackling sleep. He would have given his Sunrise claim to be assured that the dog was not awake, and once, when one of his joints cracked, he looked quickly and guiltily at Diable to see if he roused.
He did not rouse then, but a few minutes later he got up slowly and lazily, stretched, and looked carefully about him. "Sacrédam!" said Leclère under his breath.
Assured that no one was in sight or hearing, Diable sat down, curled his upper lip almost into a smile, looked up at Leclère, and licked his chops.
"Ah see my feenish," the man said, and laughed sardonically aloud.
Diable came nearer, the useless ear wobbling, the good ear cocked forward with devilish comprehension. He thrust his head on one side, quizzically, and advanced with mincing, playful steps. He rubbed his body gently against the box till it shook and shook again. Leclère teetered carefully to maintain his equilibrium.
"Diable," he said calmly, "look out. Ah keel you."
Diable snarled at the word and shook the box with greater force. Then he upreared and with his fore paws threw his weight against it higher up. Leclère kicked out with one foot, but the rope bit into his neck and checked so abruptly as nearly to overbalance him.
"Hi! Ya! Chook! Mush-on!" he screamed.
Diable retreated for twenty feet or so, with a fiendish levity in his bearing which Leclère could not mistake. He remembered the dog's often breaking the scum of ice on the water-hole by lifting up and throwing his weight upon it; and remembering, he understood what he now had in mind. Diable faced about and paused. He showed his white teeth in a grin, which Leclère answered; and then hurled his body through the air straight for the box.
Fifteen minutes later, Slackwater Charley and
Webster Shaw, returning, caught a glimpse of a ghostly pendulum swinging back
and forth in the dim light. As they hurriedly drew in closer, they made out the
man's inert body, and a live thing that clung to it, and shook and worried, and
gave to it the swaying motion.
"Hi! Ya! Chook! you Spawn of Hell!" yelled Webster Shaw.
Diable glared at him, and snarled threateningly, without loosing his jaws.
Slackwater Charley got out his revolver, but his hand was shaking as with a chill and he fumbled.
"Here, you take it," he said, passing the weapon over.
Webster Shaw laughed shortly, drew a sight between the gleaming eyes, and pressed the trigger. Diable's body twitched with the shock, thrashed the ground spasmodically a moment, and went suddenly limp. But his teeth still held fast-locked.

Trypsinogen (EC 18.104.22.168/20/21/23/24/26) (/ˌtrɪpˈsɪnədʒən, -ˌdʒɛn/[1][2]) is the precursor form or zymogen of trypsin, a digestive enzyme. Produced by the pancreas, it is found in pancreatic juice, along with amylase, lipase, and chymotrypsinogen. It is activated by enterokinase, which is found in the intestinal mucosa, to form trypsin. Once activated, the trypsin can activate more trypsinogen into trypsin. Trypsin cleaves the peptide bond on the carboxyl side of basic amino acids such as arginine and lysine.
Trypsinogen is the proenzyme precursor of trypsin. Trypsinogen (the inactive form) is stored in the pancreas so that it may be released when required for protein digestion. The pancreas stores the inactive form trypsinogen because the active trypsin would cause severe damage to the tissue of the pancreas. Trypsinogen is released by the pancreas into the second part of the duodenum, via the pancreatic duct, along with other digestive enzymes.[3]
Activation of trypsinogen
Trypsinogen is activated by enteropeptidase (also called enterokinase). Enteropeptidase is produced by the mucosa of duodenum and it cleaves the peptide bond of trypsinogen after residue 15, which is a lysine. The N-terminal peptide is discarded, and a slight rearrangement of the folded protein occurs. The newly formed N-terminal residue (residue 16) inserts into a cleft, where its α-amino group forms an ion pair with the aspartate near the active site serine, and results in the conformational rearrangement of other residues. The amino group of Gly 193 orientates itself into the correct position, which completes the oxyanion hole in active site, thereby activating the protein.[4] Since trypsin also cleaves the peptide bond after an arginine or a lysine, it can cleave other trypsinogen, and the activation process therefore becomes autocatalytic.
Safeguards against trypsinogen activation
Trypsin is produced, stored and released as the inactive trypsinogen to ensure that the protein is only activated in the appropriate location. Premature trypsin activation can be destructive and may trigger a series of events that lead to pancreatic self-digestion. In normal pancreas, around 5% of trypsinogens are thought to get activated, therefore there are a number of defenses against such inappropriate activation. Trypsinogen is stored in intracellular vesicles in the pancreas called zymogen granules whose membranous walls are thought to be resistant to enzymatic degradation. A further safeguard against inappropriate trypsin activation is the presence of inhibitors such as bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor (BPTI) and serine protease inhibitor Kazal-type 1 (SPINK1), which binds to any trypsin formed. Trypsin autocatalytic activation of trypsinogen is also a slow process due to the presence of a large negative charge on the conserved N-terminal hexapeptide of trypsinogen, which repels the aspartate on the back of trypsin's specificity pocket.[5] Trypsin may also inactivate other trypsin by cleavage.
Serum trypsinogen
Serum trypsinogen is measured using a blood test. High levels are seen in acute pancreatitis and cystic fibrosis.[citation needed]
Trypsinogen isoforms
Three isoforms of trypsinogens may be found in human pancreatic juice. These are the cationic, anionic, and meso trypsinogen, and they account for 23.1%, 16%, and 0.5% of total pancreatic secretory proteins, respectively.[6] Other forms of trypsinogen have been found in other organisms.
Pancreatitis can be the result of inappropriate activation of trypsinogen in the pancreas. Some type of pancreatitis may be associated with mutant forms of trypsinogen. A mutation at Arg 117, a trypsin-sensitive site, in cationic trypsinogen has been implicated in hereditary pancreatitis, a rare form of early-onset genetic disorder. Arg 117 may be a fail-safe mechanism by which trypsin, when activated within the pancreas, may become inactivated, and loss of this cleavage site would result in a loss of control and permit autodigestion resulting in pancreatitis.[7] Other mutations have also been found that are linked to pancreatitis.[8]

I love the fact that the La Paz airport provides free wi-fi. I love that my MacBook can access this wi-fi, even sitting on the plane waiting for the Aerosur flight to take off to Cochabamba. The La Paz airport always is interesting in the morning, as much goes on here as officials take off for various places. Some quick observations.
Vice-President Alvaro Garcia Linera came in and was whisked away to a private room. Of note, his security details was definitely not Venezuelan, fyi.
Minister Juan Ramon Quintana and Vice-Minister of Sports, Milton Melgar, were off somewhere to protest the decision of the FIFA Ban that will disallow any international games to be played in La Paz. In hand, they had posters announcing this solidarity campaign to overturn the veto.

Riven Changes
I feel that Riven should be changed, she has a jump, a stun, a shield and a dash. I don't think she should get all of those. If she was changed like increased cooldown on W. Lower or remove shield on E. Then she would have to play more passive and safe and take riskier all ins. Right now she is too easy to just button mash. Although I agree with people that she does have a skill level. Her ability to be button mashed and still be effective means something has to be changed in her kit. Also she is the most one tricked champ in the game. That needs to change. I think people like Boxbox or other high level Riven mains should be the types of people who can master Riven and its a disservice to them to see people who one trick Riven and just literally smash their face into the keyboard to win a fight. She needs to be easier to gank and also she needs a higher risk for trading, going all in compared to now where the reward is high but the risk is low. I want to see many different builds, I want people not to have to rush CDR like no tomorrow. What if her Q knock up was in a frontal cone rather than around. It would mean you'd have to position yourself perfectly to knock people up rather than just mash Q. If you W took 3 more seconds to be off cooldown, it would create better cooldown windows for other champs. Imagine if your E shield was either removed or lowered and scaled slightly with HP to force them to build more health based items rather than Ghostblade, DD etc. This way the people who are actually really good at playing Riven will still be good but it will remove those Riven one tricks who just play Riven because they just button mash. If you see my changes you can also see that this is a huge nerf. So I believe she should get a bit more power in other areas. Like increase her base HP or something like that just to give her a bit of toughness from removing, lowering shield. Also anyone who has better insight or knowledge into this can also comment on what nerfs/changes to Riven would mean that her skill level is really high but the button mashing is removed.

Big appreciation is what we are feeling here at Lovetts Gallery!
We thank everyone that attended and supported the RED/7 Exhibition. We thank the artists for their participation and hard work.
Through the avenues of media these days, we thank those from far away who support the arts and exhibits at Lovetts from a distance.
The theme of "Red:emotion in color" was a great platform for exploring "red". The artists contributed many lenses to see or understand this potent pigment in our world. Through familiarity, we can easily dismiss something and that something can even be color. The works of 2 and 3 dimensional pieces for this show paid beautiful tribute to the effect of red, in our lives.
Enthusiasm is an important ingredient for the Imagination at Lovetts and this fine element was expressed through the artists and the collectors. In regards to a digitalized age that has become the norm, there still remains a deep desire, satisfaction, and respect for art. The labor of a person's hands, mind and heart to express is quite important and it is those of you who appreciate this truth, that will foster it into the future.
Behind the scenes………sometimes…...somethings…... go wrong. Artist Alex Jove had a piece of his work for the show go missing in shipping for the exhibit. It is still AWOL. Very disheartening after all that blood, sweat and tears. Artist Julie Bender, participating in the 7 Virtues/Sins parallel exhibit, had the horrific event of breaking her wrist after completing only one of the 2 pieces for the show. On top of that, I left Jack in charge of assembling some paper pom- poms for the buffet table while I was attending to cooking duties at home. I won't do that again! Jack is a master framer and a professional and knowledgeable art curator but he really sucks at making pom-poms. Thanks to Ashley (our daughter) who came to the rescue on that!
We sincerely wish a full recovery for Alex and Julie who voiced great strength, character and attitude with their misfortunes.
As far as Jack is concerned…...well hopeless……with crepe paper!
We thank Anthony Waichulis and his students at Ani Art for the video production of RED/7. It's always an honor for us at Lovetts to be recipients of their fine and generous talent and creativity!
Because one cannot appreciate too much……again we extend our gratitude to the dedicated artists, the beauty of their art work, those who appreciate, support and collect and the investment that is engaged by all.
YOU are the you in Thank You!!
Lovetts Gallery is excited to announce the next exhibition coming in June 2017: MIRROR MIRROR !!
The artists will be engaging in their work from an honorary point. In a tributational vein, they will create from someone who has influenced and inspired them in their pursuits.
Mirror Mirror.
Reflection and Perception. Respect.
In between exhibitions, Lovetts Gallery is receiving new works all the time. Crystal works hard to get this info out to you on our social media sites. She will be more than happy to assist you in person when you come to visit. (pssst….she just became the mother of 4 goats! If you need a smile, ask her to show you the video!)
Trent. Trent keeps us all calm and under control here at the gallery!
Trent plays a vital role!!!
They both put much care and energy into the Imagination!
They and coffee. Lots of coffee!
We look forward to seeing you at the gallery or hearing from you online. Shopping in your pajamas is not a bad thing!

I don't know if it is just me, but this week has flown by! At least I know what day it is today! Yesterday, I woke up to my blackberry having deleted almost everything on itself and today my computer has completely lost all volume and is making noises which resemble an airplane taking off. I fear that all the important electronics in my life are on the verge of death. What to do?!
Did everyone see Reese W.'s Easter outfit at the White House this weekend? I adore it! Plain white is a personal fave! She can do no wrong fashion-wise!
I also found this picture of a dinner party Lauren Conrad was throwing at her home. I adore her decorating skills!
How fabby are those chairs? I did some research and believe almost everything in her dining area shown here is available at Crate and Barrel. Love, love, love!!
Has anyone been watching High Society? It's on tonight (Wednesday at 9:30 pm on CW.) I am up in the air about it. I love checking out Tinsley's to die for Marchesa frocks, but the other characters give me anxiety. Let me know your thoughts!
I am off to find a bead store in LA - trying to get back into my jewelry making hobby! Hope everyone has a fabby day!!

I apologize for getting so hung up on this. No, I don't apologize. I am going to do this anyhow.
Recently an e-mail from my congressman, Francisco Canseco of the Texas 23rd District included this heart-warming statement:
Gasoline prices are rising to levels not seen since 2008 and I am concerned about the impact it will have on family budgets already struggling to pay mortgages, health care premiums, and other expenses. As a nation we should be pursuing policies of energy independence. By removing our dependency on foreign oil we can remove the threat it poses to economic and national security, and lower prices. Simply put, we need to produce more American energy.
I welcomed this fresh bit of candor from an American politician. It's rare you get one of those guys to come right out and make a declarative statement, an affirmative of truth. Even thought it's not actually true.
The fact is that at the time of this statement gasoline prices were not actually rising. They were falling and had been for quite some time. So, I posted a little note on this and went on. And on. And I am still going on. Because prices are still going down.
Gasbuddy.com has the story, which will vary depending on what day you click the link:
San Antonio USA
Today 3.140 3.377
Yesterday 3.149 3.388
One Week Ago 3.206 3.466
One Month Ago 3.397 3.645
One Year Ago 3.438 3.570
Gasbuddy will also produce charts of historical prices for you. Here is the one for San Antonio for the past four years. That would cover the day I left California and drove back to Texas, paying the highest I ever had for gasoline, at a station on Laurel Canyon Blvd. in North Hollywood:
If you will recall, the U.S. economy hit a slight road bump about that time and went off the edge of a cliff. Gas prices followed. The following year I paid about $1.25 a gallon at my neighborhood Kroger. Later that year I drove out to California again, the the rest is history.
Gas prices shot up as the economy lurched out of its swoon, but they never again attained that peak of the summer of 2008. Congressman Canseco is right when he says, "Gasoline prices are rising to levels not seen since 2008." We have not seen those prices since. And now they are falling again.
Congressman Canseco indicates his formula for governance will keep prices down. That would be marvelous. Previous presidential candidate Michele Bachmann promised to bring back $2 gasoline. That would be more than marvelous. That would be almost magical. It would also begin to make me think she was not just an ordinary member of the House of Representatives, but an alien from outer space.
All joking aside, this is something we love to see in American politics. The "chicken in every" pot promise is an icon of American political literature. A candidate has got to promise us something, else why is he even running. If a congressional candidate gets up and says, "If elected (re-elected), I am going to keep things exactly the same," then the voter is going to say, "So, why not take the next two years off." They will vote for the guy who promises better telephone ring tones.
So bring them on, the humorous, the outrageous, the vacuous campaign promises. Please, however, spice your pitch with a touch of truth from time to time.

I love autumn and all things pumpkin. The colors orange and green together just make me happy. I have been sharing ideas all week for ways to DIY, cook and craft your own festive ways to celebrate Halloween and the autumn season. This autumn felt pumpkin patch is so darling and works great as a beginner sewing project. Kunin Group felt is the best. It is made from recycled bottles which makes it even more awesome. It kind of means that every project is a recycled project. This post is sponsored by Kunin Group but the ideas and opinions are my own.
To get started, you will need a few things:
- Kunin Group eco-Fi Plus Felt (Orange, Green, Brown)
- Scisssors
- Pattern
- Sewing Machine
- Poly-Fil Stuffing
Print the pattern. It is free PDF that you can download.
Cut out the pumpkins, place them on the felt (2 pieces deep) and pin them in place to cut them out. You will need two matching pieces for each pumpkin
Cut out stems and leaves for each pumpkin.
Sew around the pumpkins with a zig-zag stitch, sewing the stems and leaves into the stitching. Leave an opening in each for stuffing.
Stuff your pumpkins and sew them closed. Don't over-stuff.
If you like sewing with felt, you might also like these projects.
Cheers to Kunin Felt Halloween Projects,

Daniel Amartey Set To Make Injury Return For Leicester U23 Against Aston Villa
Ghana defender Daniel Amartey is set to make an injury return for Leicester City U23 side in the semifinal against Aston Villa at the King Power Stadium.
The 23-year-old has been on the treatment table since sustaining an injury in the Foxes 1-1 stalemate with AFC Bournemouth in the English Premier League last month.
The former FC Copenhagen right back consequently missed six games, and is set to make a return to the green turf in the side's U23 match against Aston Villa on Friday.
"Kasper [Schmeichel] is still injured like [Shinji] Okazaki , they are both not available," Puel said in his club's fitness update on Thursday.
"Some players like Amartey will come back with the Under-23s and we will see if he can come back into training."
Amartey has made just eight league appearances, involving six starts, so far.

Question: Why is Cleveland the "Home of Rock and Roll"?
Cleveland is the site of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but what makes Cleveland worthy of the title "Home of Rock and Roll?"
Answer: Cleveland DJ, Alan Freed coined the phrase "Rock and Roll" on his Moondog Rock and Roll Radio Hour in the early 1950s. Freed is also credited with organizing the first rock concert, the Moondog Coronation Ball on March 21, 1952
Since then, Cleveland has been instrumental in launching the music careers of such artists as Bruce Springsteen, Devo, Chrissie Hynde, Roxy Music, David Bowie, and the James Gang. Today, Cleveland is the home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a showcase of artist memorabilia, costumes, props, and, of course, music.

There are tons of talented people out there for companies to fast track up the corporate hierarchy—it's just a matter of finding them, and giving them a shot.
Jack Welch, the former CEO of GE, and his wife Suzy recently sat down for an interview with Reuters to talk about their column about finding the big stars in companies.
The Welches say there's plenty of talent around in your company, but you'll never know until you give your stars a shot to prove what they can do.
Here's what Jack had to say in the interview:
"If you've got somebody that's smart as hell, that can energize a crowd, and people like to follow, take a swing. Reach down in and give him an assignment. One of the jobs of a manager is to instill confidence, pump confidence into your people. And when you've got somebody who's raring to go and you can smell it and feel it, give 'em that shot."
And so, how do corporate giants attract this kind of talent? It's about reputation. Once you identify workers with these qualities, and give them that opportunity to grow, you're going to have other ambitious, driven folks knocking at the door.
"It's the challenge of a Fortune 500 company to not lose them—to excite them, to give them an opportunity. And that's why we know that once you create that ambiance, and once you make that happen, you get an atmosphere where you become a magnet for those sorts of people. If you have a reputation as a big, stiff bureaucracy, you're stuck."

Business Backup Solutions
Why should you back up?
Quite simply because the data is the most valuable part of your IT system. Think about your database - what would happen if you lost it? How about your accounts data, or all your excel spreadsheet. Most business would struggle, and some would completely grind to a halt. Backups protect you from this.
What can happen ?
There are 5 main causes of data loss:
- Theft - Someone steals your computer or server. The data on there is lost.
- Fire - Unfortunately a reality, and the heat destroys your data/
- Virus - Some viruses target and delete your data
- Hardware Failure - Data is held on a hard drive, which is a mechanical device. these can fail
- User Error - Someone accidentally deletes data or writes over files.
How can I protect my business ?
By putting in place well thought out backup solutions you can minimize the risks and ensure that if the worst happened, all your valuable data is backed up.
How much is my data worth?
A good way of working out how valuable your data is, is to estimate the length of time it would take to re-create it. How long would it take to have someone re-type all the word documents your company relies on, or how many people would be needed to gather all the information in your database. You will probably see that the cost of your data is huge - in some cases it is priceless.
How much will it cost?
Every business is different, and so systems vary. It all depends on how much data you have, and how frequently you want it backed up. A very small business may be able to have a good backup system for £100, whereas one with a server and 5 employees may need to spend £1000. However, to keep this is perspective remember the value of your data.
Resolve IT Solutions are specialists in the specification, installation and support of IT Networks in Sheffield and South Yorkshire. If you would like to discuss some of the backup options that we can offer your business, please call us on 0845 8990099 to speak to one of our team.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- New York Jets tight end Dustin Keller (hamstring) and linebacker David Harris (sprained ankle) both left a 17-12 loss to the Carolina Panthers with injuries. Harris said his ankle was not broken and that he would be fine, while Keller returned with his right thigh wrapped to watch the final three quarters.
Tight end/fullback Josh Baker appeared to suffer a serious knee injury and will have further tests Monday.
Rookie wide receiver Stephen Hill hurt his back and came out for a play before returning to the game.
Keller and Harris are key players that the Jets can ill afford to lose, with the season opener against the Bills slated for Sept. 9.
Keller caught the first pass of the game against visiting Carolina for a gain of 15 yards. He was in two plays of the first series, but clutched his right leg on the second play and soon consulted with the trainers. He said he will have tests Monday on his injured hamstring, but he expects to play in the opener.
Keller is the longest-tenured receiver/tight end with Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, and has been a reliable check-down option during the last three seasons.
In the second quarter, Baker collided with a defender in the end zone and was helped off the field. A replay showed a hard hit to his knee, but Baker did not need a cart.
"Thanks for everyone's prayers," Baker tweeted after the game. "My road has never been easy just another speed bump."
Harris broke his ankle at the end of 2008, but didn't express alarm as he walked out of the locker room after the game. He said X-rays were taken but they came back negative.
"Nothing to worry about," Harris said. "I'll be fine."
Information from ESPNNewYork.com's Rich Cimini was used in this report.

I am looking for Christmas door decorating ideas. Please help. Thank you.
By RKresta from Ballinger, TX

When I lived in an apartment, I got some huge wrapping. It was either plastic or paper, covered my door with it. Then I got really wide ribbon and wrapped that around my door with a big bow in the middle. Made my door look like a present. I think I cut a little spot out for my door handle. It's been so long I don't remember, but it's possible that the door covering might have been sold just for making a "wrapped" door (I really think it was plastic).
Now I just put a wreath on the door. I have one I made myself several years ago.
You could also string a Christmas bell or two on to a ribbon, tie the ribbon closed and hang it on the doorknob.
I went to family dollar and found a wreath made of bright colored round bells for $3.00. That is on my door now and it is very festive and jingles whenever the door opens.

A few weeks ago I went out for a lovely lunch with my mum at Gusto on George Street. I've been to Gusto a few times before for lunches with work or dinner with friends, and I've always had a really great meal. Also I recently signed up for their Dining Club Card after reading about it on Nadine's blog - the card gets you at least 20% off when booking online - so I thought it would be a nice little bargain lunch!
Unfortunately, on that Sunday when it came to bill time I was a complete idiot and totally forgot about the dining card in my purse (I remembered on the bus home and was like "nooooooo!") so we didn't get our discount but it ended up being £25 each for a main, dessert and a cocktail which wasn't that bad at all.
We opted for cocktails instead of starters (of course), so I had a strawberry mojito and my mum went for a rose sangria. My mojito was yummy, I've never had anything other than a regular old mojito so it was interesting to try a different spin on the classic. The rose sangria went down well and apparently tasted just like Sangria which I guess is what they were going for!
|L-R rose sangria & strawberry mojito
The last few times I've been to Gusto I've always had the same main as I love it so much - the rigatoni primavera with chicken. My mum, who hadn't been before, went for this and also agreed it was delicious! I decided to be a bit different this time though and went for something from the meat menu - roast chicken with butter fried gnocchi and a salsa verde dressing. This was absolutely gorgeous, the chicken was so juicy and succulent, the gnocchi was cooked perfectly (not too soggy) and the salsa and pesto dressing topped it off brilliantly. I could have eaten a whole second plateful!

As it was a special occasion (not really) we decided to treat ourselves and have a dessert for once (not really). Mum went for the 3 scoop ice cream coupe, choosing vanilla, strawberry and chocolate (boring! :p) whilst I went for the rather yummy sounding bombolini (homemade mini doughnuts with chocolate sauce and cream). When my doughnuts arrived I said to my mum "there's no way I'll finish this" but emmm I somehow managed to scoff the lot! The mini doughnuts smelt incredible (reminded me of being at the Pleasure Beach in Blackpool!), were well coated in sugar, crispy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside - perfection. I didn't really touch much of the cream but the chocolate sauce went down very nicely indeed.

All in all it was a lovely meal - the food was great, service was friendly and fairly quick, and the place in general has a really nice atmosphere (not too loud, tables aren't too cramped and it has a lovely clean, luxurious and modern feel to it). I'm still salivating at the thought of those doughnuts, so will definitely be back soon.....and this time I'll remember to take out the discount card!

Yarn swiftby jvdh Nov 20, 2011

A swift holds a skein of yarn while it is being wound into a ball, so you don't have to fight it all the way.
If you're a hardcore knitter, you buy your yarn from hippy communes in faraway places, or you spin it yourself[1]. This gives you yarn in skeins - long loops that are good for dyeing, but non-trivial to knit with. To get it into a ball, you need someone or something to hold it and prevent tangles, while you do the winding by hand or with a ball winder. That's where the swift comes in: it holds a skein of yarn, and rotates gently on demand, allowing to you to unwind/rewind yarn as needed without requiring a large family to assist you.
The canonical example of a swift is the umbrella swift. Wikipedia has a picture: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swift_%28textiles%29 . We[2] wanted something similarly light, yet sturdy enough for the wildest of knitting parties.
The arms of the swift expand to the diameter required for the skein when you press the top disk downwards, at least 1.8m for the parts given here. It is mounted on a rod around which it can rotate freely, but with enough dampening to not over-wind. It just feeds you yarn on demand.

[1] Disclaimer: we are not knitters, this is merely an observation.
[2] I'm not the only one, rspanton was also involved in this project http://www.thingiverse.com/user:902
Mise en place
6mm MDF/ply/acrylic
400mm M6 threaded rod
3 x M6 lock nuts
1 x M6 penny washer
1 x M6 washer
12 x M3 20mm machine bolt
12 x M3 washer
12 x M3 locknut
6 x cable ties, 3 to 4 mm wide.
A base (see below)
For a swift that can handle up to 1.8m diameter skeins, or more at a stretch, cut the following:
1 x top.dxf
1 x bottom.dxf
6 x hinge_arm.dxf
6 x arm.dxf
Sand and clean the parts - our MDF left a sticky residue which would have corrupted any virgin wool. Note that top.dxf and bottom.dxf are mirror images of each other. They are meant to be that way.
The positions of the parts are shown in assembly.svg. We start by putting a lock nut on the M6 rod (1), about 20 mm above where you want your base to stop. The penny washer goes on top, followed by the bottom disk (bottom.dxf) with the cutting side up. The other M6 washer and another nut (2) follows. The lower nut serves as a pivot for the whole structure, the top one is there to prevent the base from wobbling too much. It should therefore not be tight, but just snug enough to keep the disk in place.
Another nut(3) is installed about 80mm about above the bottom disk to serve as a stopper. Without it, it's easy to flatten the arms too far, and getting them back to a usable position can become annoying after the fourth time. Add the top disk (top.dxf), and check that the slots for the two disks are slightly offset. If not, flip the top disk over - the cutting side should be up.
Now would be a good time to connect the rod to the base, but I'll first tell you about the arms.
Connect two hinge arms (hinge_arm.dxf) at their centres (5) using an M3 bolt and nut, with a washer between the layers of MDF. This will be a pivot in the arm, so the struts should be able to move freely, but without flailing around. Align the struts with the slots in the top and bottom disks: the struts should be perfectly aligned with the threaded rod. If not, check that disks are the right way round. Both disks should have their cutting sides up (yes, this matters).
Extend the arm with more struts at (6), then connect them at (7) as before. Repeat until you have 3 arms. Now take a minute to play with the arms. Awesome, right?
The arms connect to the disks at (4), shown in more detail in hinges.svg. Thread the tip of the cable tie through the large hole in the arm, then through the small hole in the disk. The tip continues back through the same hole in the arm, then down through the opposite mounting hole, an through the head of the cable tie. Tighten and trim, then repeat for the other hinges. Putting the head under the disk look neat, and prevents wool from snagging on the stub.
The base
We mounted the threaded rod in a block of wood, fixed to a plank. Drill a straight hole through the wood, countersink it, then screw it down from both ends with two more nuts. We are also investigating adapting a clamp from a desk lamp to allow us to screw the swift to any flat surface - it will make the swift much easier to store.
To accommodate different sheet thicknesses, the slots in the disks will need to be changed. Remember to keep the relative slot offsets, as the upper and lower struts in the arm rotate on top of each other.
For small diameter skeins, you might want to make the arms shorter. If you want to be able to handle very large diameters, you could also add another set of struts. More arms can of course also be added, which should make the swift even more amazing.
Check all nuts - everything should be able to move freely. If you want the arms to expand a bit further, lower the stopping nut on the threaded rod.
And that's it. Happy swifting!

The dangers of TiSA, even of a failed TiSA
Legal scholar Jane Kelsey from New Zealand has assembled an extremely well-informed report about the negotiations for the Trade in Services Agreement (TiSA). You learn about the main corporate sponsors of these negotiations, organized in "Team TiSA", which have privileged access to official negotiators. Kelsey also exposes, how the TiSA sponsors took many of their extreme proposals for the prevention of regulation of finance and data abuse from rejected earlier attempts at agreements and how they continue to plug them into any trade agreement that comes along. This report is thus required reading for anybody who deals with trade agreements or data privacy issues.
Pressure is mounting on Draghi and the G30
Emily O'Reilly is the EU Ombudsman, an arbiter for the public's complaints about EU-institutions. She has earned a reputation for being tough. She wants written answers from Mario Draghi, head of the European Central Bank, the EU's monetary and banking surveillance institution. He has to explain how he makes sure that he does not divulge insider information or runs into conflicts of interest as a participant of secret talks with bankers in the so-called Group of Thirty (G30). O'Reilly's questions, published on her website, make it plain that she will not easily be convinced.
Bundesbank rejects 100%-money based on sophistry and false claims
In its April monthly report, Deutsche Bundesbank explains that banks create money ex-nihilo and rejects the proposal of 100%-money. The full English version is now online. The arguments employed to discredit 100%-money are a mix of sophistry and misleading or false statements.
Bundesbank corrects textbook mistakes on money creation, rejects 100%-money
In the April-edition of their monthly report, the Bundesbank has belatedly joined the Bank of England in explicitly stating that the treatment of banks and money creation in most textbooks is wrong: banks are not intermediaries; they create money ex-nihilo. This helps the Bundesbank to reject criticism that central banks are currently "printing" too much money. At the same time, the Bundesbank rejects the proposal of 100%-money, i.e. bank deposits fully backed by central bank money.
Will California's minimum wage put "non-elite restaurants" out of business, as "Harvard-Shock-Study" suggests?
Recently, California's legislature decided that by 2022 the state's minimum wage will rise to $15 from currently $10. A number of cities, including San Francisco, have already started hiking their own minimum wage. Thus, a Harvard-linked study of the effects of these regional minimum wage hikes on restaurant closures met with great media interest in California and beyond. The popular anarcho-finance website Zero Hedge titled "Harvard Shock Study". Breitbart found its own anti-elite twist with the headline "Harvard Research: Minimum Wage Hikes Put Non-Elite Restaurants Out of Business". We take a closer look at the findings of the study.
IMF tells governments how to subvert public resistance against elimination of cash
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) in Washington has published a Working Paper on "de-cashing". It gives advice to governments who want to abolish cash against the will of their citizenry. Move slowly, starting with seemingly harmless measures, is part of that advice.
The EU-Commission wants to know your opinion on cash restrictions. Do let them know!
As an esteemed member of the European public, you might be unaware that the EU-Commission is keen on knowing your opinion on possible restrictions on cash payments. Now you know. You should certainly let the EU know about your opinion, so they don't make their decision based only on the input of those who make money on digital payments or want your data. You can answer the questionnaire in English or any other official EU-language. There is an opportunity to upload a document, in which you lay out your position on cash restrictions.
Modi, Yunus and the financial inclusion mafia
The war on cash that is currently being waged in India and other developing countries is the culmination of a "financial inclusion"-campaign originating in the US in the 1990s. The purported goal and the US institutions pushing the agenda are the same as in two earlier financial-inclusion-drives, which have been thoroughly discredited: the subprime mortgage banking frenzy in the US and the microcredit-hype around Muhammad Yunus and his Grameen Bank.
Indian ministers and CEOs flock to the US to report to the digital colonizers
To "prepare the next generation of world leaders", the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) will hold its 2017 MIT India Conference, this time on "Digital India". Members of the Indian government and CEOs are travelling to Cambridge to report on the "success" of the US inspired crackdown on the use of cash. As usual, the plight of the cash-using poor and the data-security and privacy nightmare resulting from mandatory biometric identification are unlikely to be discussed.
The power of gold: Why Deutsche Bundesbank had to promise to leave 1200 tons in New York
With big fanfare, Deutsche Bundesbank announced on February 9 that ahead of plan they had repatriated 300 tons of gold from New York. This put a positive spin on a rather disturbing fact: 1236 tons of gold that is supposed to be part of Germany's currency reserve will continue to be kept outside of German control in New York - indefinitely.
How India became Bill Gates' guinea pig: A conspiracy as recounted by the main actors
Microsoft's Bill Gates is one of the richest and most influential people on earth. He announced in 2015 that his Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation was aiming at achieving full digitalization of the payment systems of India and other populous developing countries by 2018. This "financial inclusion" program for India dates back to well before Narendra Modi came to power. It was elevated to official US policy by Executive Order in 2012, because the President saw vital US security interests are at stake.
A $500 bn pot of gold: How Boston Consulting and Google pushed Modi to end the era of cash
Boston Consulting Group (BCG), the omnipresent US-consulting company, and Google, the global data miner, issued a joint report in July 2016 on the "$500 bn Pot of Gold", which is the Indian digital payment market. Even though the authors deny it, the report gives much reason to suspect that the authors knew that something radical was imminent from the Indian government. The report is remarkably honest about the aims of the whole exercise.

Anthem to buy Cigna for $48.4 billion dollars
Friday July 24, 2015
Anthem to buy Cigna for $48.4 Billion; a deal that combines based on members the second and fourth largest insurers. Aetna earlier this month agreed to buy Humana, Inc. for $35 billion at the same time Centene Corporation announced the purchase of Health Net, Inc. for $6.3 billion. Consolidation created in part due to the 2010 health-care overhaul, potentially reducing the top five to a top three.

Monday was just about as exciting a night as you could possibly imagine for a short schedule. First, Jason Giambi rocked the house with a walk off homer for the Rockies. Then there was a triple play by the Brewers in their win. The Mariners got back to back jacks to steal a win from the Blue Jays. Jason Isringhausen recorded his 300th career save. And last, but certainly not least, Jim Thome blasted homers 599 and 600. The pick tally caused by those events? Wrong, right, wrong, wrong, wrong. But who cares. Monday was a perfect night to be a Fan of Major League Baseball.
And what of all those incorrect picks? Well, they led to a mediocre night of picking but the total still came out in the positive. But again, all that was just meaningless compared to experiencing those plays. What a night of baseball!
And what makes baseball the greatest sport on earth? The very next night, there are more games and more magical moments to come: Tuesday's picks:
- The Red Sox and Bay Rays split their double-header: The Rays should find a way to win one of their games with James Shields and Jeff Niemann as their starters. Both have been red hot and the Bay Rays hit better on the road. The Red Sox counter with Jon Lester and Erik Bedard.
- The Phillies over the Diamondbacks: Yes, the Diamondbacks are the surprise team of the NL West, but they face Roy Halladay and can counter with only Josh Collmenter.
- The Reds over the Nationals: As much as this picker would love to see Chien-Ming Wang pitch well again, Mike Leake will get the win in this one.
- The Tigers over the Twins: Justin Verlander is amazing. What a year he is having. He shuts down the Twins while Nick Blackburn gets the loss.
- The Pirates over the Cardinals: The Fan is sad to report of the demise of the St. Louis Cardinals. They look sadly under the weather. Jeff Karstens should have the Cards beating the ball into the dirt all game and the Pirates scratch out a few runs on Chris Carpenter.
- The Braves over the Giants: Neither starting pitcher will last beyond four or five innings. The Braves should be able to win a slugfest that this game should be. Jonathan Sanchez versus Randall Delgado.
- The Astros over the Cubs: Brett Myers is 3-12. Got that. But he is 12-3 lifetime against the Cubs. That symmetry is enough to be a sign for this picker to pick him over Ryan Dempster.
- The Indians over the White Sox: Ubaldo Jimenez blows away White Sox hitters while Gavin Floyd pitches a decent game.
- The Brewers over the Dodgers: Yovani Gallardo keeps the ball rolling for the Brewers as they continue to win at home. Chad Billingsley has been only so-so lately for the Dodgers.
- The Rockies over the Marlins: Jhoulys Chacin was so good in his last outing that it's hard to pick against him here. Anibal Sanchez is a much better pitcher than his record.
- The Orioles over the Athletics: Brian Matusz has been pitching much better in the minors. Will it translate to the majors? We'll see. Guillermo Moscoso has had an up and down season. His last start was an up.
- The Mets over the Padres: Jonathan Niese threw 122 pitches in his last start, which is a bit scary for this start. But the Mets offense should be better than the Padres. Cory Luebke gets the start for the Friars.
- The Rangers over the Angels: A sweep would bury the Angels and the Rangers have it in sight with Derek Holland on the mound. Tyler Chatwood is a weak link in the Angels' rotation, which doesn't bode well.
- The Blue Jays over the Mariners: The Blue Jays are a puzzle lately. But they should win despite a Brad Mills start. Jason Vargas threw a lot of pitches his last start.
And the Game of the Day:
- The Yankees over the Royals: Ivan Nova is throwing the ball really well and the Yankees should beat Danny Duffy, though Duffy threw strikes for seven innings in his last outing.
Yesterday: 6-5
Week: 13-10
Month: 115-83
Season: 989-824
Games of the Day: 84-31

Four years after initially announcing the project, Lil Wayne took to Twitter on Thursday (Jan. 23) to reveal that his Funeral album will drop next week.
"Welcome to the funeral, closed casket as usual," Tunechi says in the album teaser. The Grammy winner also tweeted a link for fans to pre-order physical and digital copies of the album as a CD, vinyl or "digital cassette." The online shop features album merchandise, including long-sleeved shirts, hoodies and beanies.
In a recent interview with VIBE, Lil Wayne said that even though his recording process has drastically changed since his prolific mixtape days, he still finds enjoyment in going to the studio to create.
"I love the difficulty of trying to fit in with what's going on today, making sure I sound likable to the ears today and having to remind myself that it's not about what it was back then. Going to the studio now, for me, is awesome. I used to go to that muf***a and do 12 songs a night. Cut a beat on, I'm going to go and you let me know when to stop," Wayne said.
"...I can't wait to get in the studio now every night, just to see what I can come up with. [Before] it was just me going to the studio and saying, let me kill ten more songs and then I'm going to go home or do whatever I was doing. Now, it's let me see what I come up with. Self-discovery, rebirth – call it whatever you want to call it but it feels awesome, I swear to God."
The New Orleans native's last studio LP, Tha Carter V, dropped in 2018 after years of delays. In 2019, the 37-year-old rapper embarked on a joint summer tour with Blink-182, but the jaunt was marred by difficulty as Wayne walked off stage during one show and threatened to quit. He changed his mind hours later.
Even with all the tour trouble, Blink-182 had nothing but good things to say about Weezy. "The one day where he walked off stage, he had said, 'I just felt like they didn't like me,' so he walked off stage," drummer Travis Barker explained in an interview last year.
Funeral drops on Jan. 31. Check out the album teaser below.

Former Recording Academy CEO Deborah Dugan is accusing the Recording Academy of gender discrimination and sexual harassment, days before the 62nd annual Grammy Awards.
The 46-page complaint filed with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on Tuesday (Jan. 21), claims that the Recording Academy abides by a "boy's club mentality" and manipulates the Grammys voting process, among other allegations.
In the documents, Dugan accuses the Recording Academy of attempting to smear her reputation for speaking out against the alleged harassment, gender discrimination, unequal pay, and unlawful retaliation, that she claims to have endured. Dugan, who was recently ousted from her position, also accuses music lawyer Joel Katz of sexual harassment.
Katz "categorically" denied Dugan's allegations in a statement through his attorney.
Dugan, the Recording Academy's first female CEO, says she took over after former CEO Neil Portnow resigned "in disgrace after being caught making misogynistic remarks about women recording artists." Dungan claims that her salary was significantly lower than her two male predecessors, and that she was later told to hire Portnow as a consultant for a $750,000 fee. The documents goes on to claim Portnow's consultant contract was severed because he was accused of raping a female recording artist.
Portnow denied the rape claim which he called, "ludicrous and untrue."
Dugan filed a HR complaint in December of 2019. She was put on administrative leave three weeks later. However, the Recording Academy claims Dugan was placed on leave over a bullying complaint from Portnow's executive assistant. Dugan alleges that the Recording Academy attempted to work out a settlement with her before backing out at the last minute and giving her one hour to agree to a new deal. She later informed the company of her intent to sue.
Dugan's complaint outlines how women and minority groups have been "historically underrepresented" at the Grammys and within the Academy. For example, the docs note that only 10 black artists have won the coveted Album of the Year honor and that R&B artist are typically excluded from top awards in favor of country, rock and pop music. The docs point out some of the criticisms the the Grammys has received, including failing to honor black artists and a lack of diversity among winners. Eminem for instances, won Best Rap Album seven times despite the category being dominated by black artists. Also mentioned in the documents are Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, who beat out Kendrick Lamar, Drake and Kanye West for Best Rap Album in 2014. Dugan used Drake and pop star Dua Lipa to support her claim that the show cuts acceptance speeches short if the artist criticizes the Academy.
Further in the docs, Dugan exposes the Grammys nominations process as allegedly being "ripe with corruption." Submissions are voted on by 12,000 Recording Academy members all around the country. The selections are narrowed down to the Top 20 entries, which are then reviewed by "secret committees." Dugan asserts that board members on the committees have relationships with recording artists, thus furthering an artist's chance of getting nominated.
"The Board also manipulates the nominations process to ensure that certain songs or albums are nominated when the producer of the Grammys (Ken Ehrlich) wants a particular song performed during the show," the documents claim.
