WASHINGTON — Chelsea Manning, the former Army private convicted of disclosing classified information, has filed to run for Senate in Maryland, according to federal election filings.
Ms. Manning, who was found guilty of leaking more than 700,000 government files to WikiLeaks in 2013, would face Senator Benjamin L. Cardin in the Democratic primary race this year. Mr. Cardin is Maryland's senior senator and the top Democrat on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
In 2012, the senator cruised to victory in the general election after winning the Democratic primary race with nearly 75 percent of the vote.
Ms. Manning, a transgender woman formerly known as Bradley Manning, received a 35-year prison term for disseminating a vast trove of government documents that included incident reports from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and dossiers on detainees being imprisoned without trial at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.
The sentence was the longest ever imposed in a leak case. President Barack Obama commuted it in the final days of his presidency, calling it "very disproportionate."
While Ms. Manning, who declined to comment about her election filing, has been hailed as a hero by opponents of government secrecy, others, including President Trump, have called her a traitor to the United States. Since her release, Ms. Manning, 30, has written about free speech, civil liberties, queer and transgender rights and computer security for publications like The Guardian.
Ms. Manning moved to Maryland after leaving the military prison and filed documents with the Federal Election Commission as a Democrat, with paperwork formally processed Thursday.
Last year, her invitation to be a visiting fellow at Harvard was revoked after officials there faced a severe backlash and grew concerned over what could be viewed as an endorsement of her actions.

Fans of Yannick's work, which we've featured several times before on RedShark, will love this compilation clip featuring ten years of aviation video making.
Aviation offers a wonderful subject to filmmakers because it's dynamic, colourful and occupies a huge three dimensional stage.
Here, Yannick has compiled the best of ten years of colourful aerial filming, all with digital video, starting with DV, and ending, of course, with today's amazing technology. But can you tell which clips were shot on what?
Probably not. These skilfully graded shots mix together surprisingly well.
Kudos to Yannick on a superb collection of work.

Coors also gave generously to Rep. Ken Buck's failed Senate campaign in 2010 and to his successful 2014 House race. He also gave to the campaign of former Sen. John Ashcroft, who infamously lost to Missouri Gov. Mel Carnahan after Carnahan died in a plane crash.
Coors has also gotten it right at times, being a booster of Cory Gardner's 2010 congressional bid and an early backer of his successful bid for the Senate in 2014. He has also backed numerous incumbent senators and members of Congress in and out of Colorado such as former Rep. Tom Tancredo, who was famous for his anti-immigration rhetoric long before Trump.

The impact of head shots Melbourne
Posted: Oct 13, 2017
Remembering the people that have played an important role in something is common, but you have to know why. Every time you walk into the office of an important business you will see large framed photos or paintings of certain people. The same also happens when you walk into a large house and you see a big portrait on top of the fireplace.
But why is that? Why are such photos or portraits important for the environment where they are placed? First of all, you have to focus on each element you will see in there and you have to figure out how it is going to impact the other people who look at it. If they are handled by a professional, head shots Melbourne can have a significant impact.
One of the first things why people do it is because they feel like it is a sign of respect. The people who appear in the Melbourne headshots have invested quite a bit of time and energy to achieve the goals they set out for. A photo like this is going to help others remember their effort. No matter if it is in an office or in a home, this is a sign of respect.
People who will look at the same head shots Melbourne can also find the inspiration they need. If that portrays a person that has come from nothing to achieve greatness just by following a dream, this will show them that anything can be done. Great things will happen as long as they will find the confidence and they keep their eye on the goal.
At the same time Melbourne headshots can show the human side of a person others may not know personally. A professional photo can catch a person with a smile on their face, in a relaxed posture and this is going to show you that you are not dealing with robots. There are many different conclusions you can draw from a simple photograph.
One of the things you have to keep in mind is that head shots Melbourne can send the right message as long as they are handled by a professional. It is not easy to capture the right posture, the right expression or use the right elements to deliver the proper results. You must be sure you will use the right help so you can achieve the goal you set out for.
If you are looking for the expert that will offer the Melbourne headshots you had in mind, you have to take the time to explore the options you can go for. The web is one of the first sources where you will find the details you seek and one of the first sites you should visit is the one at melbourneheadshots.com.au. This is where you will find an expert that has a great deal of experience and you will be able to get some of the best head shots you have ever seen.
Head shots Melbourne can have a big impact on the people who look at them, but they must capture the person just the right way. If you are looking for a little bit of professional help when it comes to dMelbourne headshots, the site named before can lead you to the results you are interested in from the start.

Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash and… Bitcoin Gold?
Almost three months ago, owners of Bitcoin witnessed a first, big hardfork. As a result of a split, Bitcoin Cash was created. It seems like in the following weeks we will experience another split.
The debut of a new cryptocurrency, based on Bitcoin, is planned on 25th of October. What are the differences between main cryptocurrency and new altcoin? The main difference is a change of consensus algorithm Proof-of-Work from SHA256 to Equihash. Miners of Ethereum and ZCash will be probably glad. They can use their mining machines created for GPU mining, built with graphics cards to mine BTG.
Another big difference is a change of difficulty adjustment. In Bitcoin technology, the difficulty is changing every two weeks. When Bitcoin Gold appears, its difficulty level is going to change with every block. That solution should prevent a situation when extraction of a block is extended.
What's more, Bitcoin Gold is going to prevent replay protection. In the future release, new cryptocurrency will also have unique address format.
Now, we can only wait to 25th October to ascertain if Bitcoin Gold will be created.

The trailer for the fifth and final "Twilight" movie, "Breaking Dawn Part 2," will debut exclusively on "The Hunger Games" in March — the first significant example of synergy between Lions Gate Entertainment and its new subsidiary Summit Entertainment.
When the studio acquired Summit in January, Lions Gate executives touted the opportunities that would come from bringing together two of Hollywood's hottest young adult franchises. Because fans tend to get excited about seeing the first trailer for a highly anticipated sequel, Lions Gate is betting it can bring the huge base of "Twilight" fans to the opening weekend of "The Hunger Games," which debuts March 23.
"'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2′ trailer will debut exclusively on every 'Hunger Games' print on its opening night for what will be Lions Gate's largest release ever," Santa Monica-based Lions Gate's chief executive Jon Feltheimer said on a conference call with analysts Friday following the release of its financial results.

If you're a regular reader of Caregiver Notes, you'll recall a few weeks back, a comment appeared on this blog from an Ian Muise, my cousin Kenny's son, who reported he has spent the past few years taking care of my Uncle Bill, my father Robert's older brother who we had lost track of. Well, this past Sunday, the brothers were reunited on the telephone.
Neither my father nor I had seen Uncle Bill since about 1984-85 when Pops lived near him in Florida. After my father moved back north, communication was infrequent, and my father last talked to Uncle Bill last in 2002 to report on a trip to Nova Scotia, which is where my father's side of the family comes from and where other branches of the family still live. Then a couple of years ago, my father tried to call Bill again and found the telephone number he had for Uncle Bill was no longer in service.
After I heard from Ian in mid-February, he and I communicated, and a date was set to put the brothers in touch. Ian said Uncle Bill's short-term memory was not good, and he had some confusion as the result of an apparent stroke that showed up on a CAT scan. But Ian said Uncle Bill, who will soon be 93, remembered his early life experiences better and might enjoy reminiscing with my 89-year-old father about the old family (there were 10 Muise siblings back then – my father and Bill are the surviving family members).
By prearrangement, I was visiting my father on Sunday when Ian called from nursing home where Uncle Bill lives. He put Bill on and the two brothers talked for a while, mostly catching up on how the other is doing now. At one point, Uncle Bill said something that made my father laugh hard. After a while, I got on with Uncle Bill too, and he reassured me that he sleeps well and eats well and at his age that was enough (Uncle Bill always did speak brusquely and to the point). I also spoke to Ian and reviewed what family history I had and thanked him again for making contact.
The brothers didn't get too deep into reminiscing on this call, but they're back in touch. And I am sure they will speak again. I guess it is never too late to reach out to family.

It has taken me 15 days to overcome the mental hurdle of getting out of bad habits or as it is more commonly known as, the why-did-I-decide-to-do-this-all-I-want-to-do-is-eat-a-brownie hurdle.
Here is my 15 day before and after. I wouldn't post this for anyone…you are lucky I like you so much.
Hopefully you can tell the left is day 1 and the right is day 15. If not, you can keep reading! The point of this post isn't weight loss (although that plays a small part in it) but instead, it is about a lifestyle change. It is about my Advocare 24 Day Challenge and how it has made me so much happier. I was a huge skeptic at first, but am so thankful I took the leap of faith.
Since I (possibly like you) wasn't seeing a HUGE difference in my appearance (which is, side note, insane to expect in 15 days) I decided to make a list of the things I've given up and compare them to the things I have gained since I've started my challenge. The most powerful finding I discovered is that my bad habits had a lot of power in hindering my ability to live life the way I wanted to. . .
What I've given up:
- Processed Foods
- Candy
- Soda, Juice, Coffee (any beverage besides water, Spark, and the occasional glass of wine…I'm not insane!)
- Fast Food
- Excess amount of salt/oil
- Dairy (for the first 10 days)
What I have added:
- A 10 day cleanse (it isn't scary and you don't spend your entire day on the potty)
- A regiment of vitamins and health supplements (also not scary, just some extra "rocket" fuel!)
- 1 workout a day (unless I'm feeling extra energized)
- Spark (an Advocare product) The best energy boost there is!
- LOTS of water throughout the day
What I have gained:
- Energy
- 15 workouts completed
- 35 miles ran
- Confidence
- Looser fitting clothes (at day 10 I was down 4 pounds and 6.5 inches)
- Some cooking skills
- An arsenal of healthy snacks, dinners and lunches
- Confidence
- Muscle
- Happiness
- Productivity
- Money SAVED
- DEEP sleep
And the list could go on and on. It was a superb tradeoff if you ask me! I'll switch my gummy bears for happiness any day. I want to expand on my top 3 gains.
2 weeks ago, I was really struggling to do my basic, everyday tasks. I woke up groggy, I worked groggy and went to bed groggy. I seriously felt like I was somewhere on a spectrum of being hungover all the time except I hadn't had an amazing, embarrassing and fun night the night before! Since changing my diet I feel awake and alert. I am actually motivated to make every meal for myself (and Steven if he chooses to eat what I make…poor guy has been forced to eat a lot of black beans!) run errands, workout, clean, go to work, opt for the stairs, research recipes….it's absolutely energizing! Part of my motivation for all of this is realizing how blessed I am to be healthy…why would I want to spend it feeling anything BUT energized and motivated??
35 Miles Ran
Anyone who knows me knows I hate running. Don't be fooled by the fact that I have participated in athletics my entire life; I still have always hated the feeling of running for the sake of running. In college, I dreaded any run longer than a mile. I was constantly trailing at the back of the pack, never pushing myself, trotting along and finishing with a smile while those who finished first were splayed out on the ground, gasping for air. In a game, I would sprint as hard as I could and last for 60 minutes without fail…so it wasn't that I couldn't run well physically, I couldn't do it mentally. There was something about my lungs burning and my legs tightening up that meant that I was running out of steam which I hated. I never wanted to be that girl in pain splayed out on the ground. It was a physical gauge of how weak I was. But I never thought of how it could be a gauge of how strong I was. Since I've put the right things into my body, I found myself running farther and focusing more on clearing my mind rather than the cramp in my side. Running has turned into an escape and wonderful way to take in the DC surrounding that I am so blessed to be able to access anytime. It has also been a great time to blast Bieber's new tunes with no shame.
Money Saved
Prior to my health kick, I was spending at least 10-15 dollars a day on food if not more. My credit card bill was out of control and 70% of it came from eating out. Since my health kick, I have spent 110 dollars which makes me en route to spend 220 dollars for the month on food….which is half of what I would spend if I were to ONLY buy lunch every day for the month. That itself makes this completely worth it. Cha-CHING.
I feel fabulous and am finally feeling like I've changed lifestyles, not just bought into a short term solution. I have worked hard but there are infinitely harder things in life so I'll put this more into the "discipline" pile rather than in the "hard"things I'll deal with.
Also- Advocare is legit! I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a healthy change, a better workout and a more productive day!

Bringing the Very Best of Stanford Together for Alumni all Over the World
Stanford+Connects brings President John L. Hennessy, faculty, and special guest speakers like Sandra Day O'Conner to 18 cities around the world. The series features a rich and engaging program for Stanford Alumni, including informal Q&A sessions with President Hennessy, micro-lectures, collaborative seminars, and an extensive interactive component.
In 2013, the Stanford Alumni Association selected Aten Design Group as its design and development partner to help build the digital counterpart for Stanford+Connects. With events scheduled for major cities all over the world, plus a compelling series of releases planned for the web, Stanford+Connects aims to bring the very best of Stanford together all over the world — both physically and online.
"Aten is responsive, creative, fast (they dove in despite our aggressive timeline and delivered bigtime), team-oriented, expert, and fun. They are true thought partners, helping elicit good ideas from our team and bringing great ideas of their own to the table at every conversation. Their mix of Agile, Drupal, and user-centric philosophies were a great match for us, keeping the needs of our alumni community firmly in mind at each step of the process. "
– Adam Miller, Director, Digital & Data Services at Stanford Alumni Association
Thought Partnership
In addition to seeking a vendor who could deliver on the project's technical requirements, the Stanford Alumni Association (SAA) sought to partner with a team who would provide collaborative guidance on how to both choose and implement the right features and solutions to support the program. They were looking for an agency that had experience with events, with building the digital counterpart to a physical experience, and with a strong focus on content strategy and user-centered design.
Custom Registration System
One piece still being evaluated at the beginning of our engagement with SAA was event registration. In the past, SAA has used a proprietary system for handling online registration for events. Moving forward, they were interested in a consolidated approach that would leverage a single technology platform for both registration and the rest of the digital event experience. We discussed pros and cons. Pros included flexibility for ongoing customizations, simpler integration into the full web experience, and more design control. Cons were primarily related to an extremely tight timeframe. The pros won out, and from start to finish, we designed, built, and launched the registration system in less than 5 weeks.
Phase 1 Digital Experience
With registration behind us, we moved directly into design and development for the Phase 1 web release, which would include custom event pages for each of the upcoming events, integrated registration, rich content published by SAA, and a framework for rolling out digital community features moving forward. The design is beautiful and responsive, crafted for delivery across multiple devices.
Looking Ahead
The team at SAA is creative, highly engaged, and strongly motivated — stay on the lookout for iterative releases that add real value for the Stanford+Connects experience. We're thrilled with the process, the collaboration, and the product so far, and we're looking forward to the next round of deployments over the weeks and months ahead.

"We want to sell our house but we owe more than it is worth"
A "Short-Sale" makes it possible for you to sell your house for less than what you owe, without having to pay anyone the difference. YOU WALK AWAY FROM THE HOUSE AND THE DEBT.
The best part, aside from being able to walk away without paying anything, is that we ensure homeowners earn at least $1,500 when the short sale is completed! We've had clients earn as much as $10,000. (The amount you receive will depend on your mortgage)
Yes, you can walk away from your house and all the debt without filing bankruptcy. The closing costs, taxes, 2nd mortgages, lines of credit, and other liens are also taken care of at closing.
A Short Sale could save your credit and help you avoid a Deficiency Judgment which could otherwise force you into an even worse situation, such as Bankruptcy or a garnishment of wages. While it is always best to sell your house for exactly what you owe, for most people that is not an option, and for them the Short Sales system has been created.
Requirements for a Short Sale (Set by your Mortgage Company):
- You must be behind on your mortgage payments.
- You cannot have any assets or excessive cash funds to pay the mortgage company back. (such as a large boat or $50,000 in a bank account)
- There must have been an unplanned Hardship to cause you to fall behind on your payments. (Divorce, job loss, relocation, death in family, etc.)
- You must fill-out the required paperwork as requested by your Mortgage Company. (email us for a copy)
Note: The more repairs the house needs, the better.
What does it cost?
There is NO COST to do a short sale! Our program makes it possible for families in Kentucky, no matter what their financial circumstances may be, to avoid foreclosure. We enjoy helping families live better and happier lives by serving them. In addition, Kentucky Solutions only makes money after we successfully negotiate your short sale and after you get paid. We will resell your home to another family or individual seeking to buy a home so we only make money if you do. We are very motivated to succeed and will spend an average of $800 to process each client's short sale. It is an investment we make and your cost is always $0. Yes, we will put in writing!
I Live in Jefferson County, Kentucky and Want to Proceed with a Short Sale:
- Fill out our contact form below
- We will email you the paperwork your lender requires that you fill out.
- We will call you to schedule a time to meet you (or someone with the key) at the property and answer any questions about the paperwork.
- We submit everything to the mortgage company and once approved, you walk away free from the house and the debt!

I am *much* more concerned about the performance of normalizing during selector matching than before parsing. I think it's highly likely that normalizing during selector matching would be an unacceptable performance hit.
