Tampa PD: 60-year-old man had 100 child porn images on computers
TAMPA, Fla. - An undercover operation led to the arrest of a Tampa man after detectives found dozens of child porn images on his computers, they said.
The investigation began on Feb. 8 as detectives tried to locate computers in the city that were distributing child pornography files. One computer was located at 510 East Harrison Street #626 in Tampa.
Detectives said it appeared there were 56 files with known or suspected child porn imagery on a website between Dec. 5, 2020 and Feb. 5, 2021.
Tampa detectives executed a search warrant at the home on April 15 and recovered several computer devices belonging to 60-year-old Ric Adams. They said he told them some of the devices belonged to him.
During a forensic review, police said they found 100 images of child porn, displaying nude children between the ages of 2 and 15.
Adams was arrested Tuesday and faces 100 counts of child porn possession charges.
Police said any suspicion of child sexual exploitation can be reported to local law enforcement, Internet Crimes Against Children (ICAC) Task Force, or the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's Cyber Tipline online or by calling 800-843-5678.

The Voice of the Snow by
Juliet Cook
Dull black velvet slabs unrolled,
the stiff color of dead crows;
a straight razor. Into this dark expanse,
I have tried to slice out wings.
My design is less wing-like than spiked.
My arms will not float into snow angels.
I am weighted down and dragged
into heavy rhythms. Grim ticks
like a grandfather clock pendulum.
I hear the snow against glass, ticking
the minutes until it strikes.
The voice of the snow is a messy lace-maker.
It sews shifts with goopy seams, uneven fretting.
Strange stalactites dangle
like butchered birds. Songs blurred
until a sudden surge of dripping feathers.
A dirge of ripping doilies as mutant beaks peck;
tear ornate edges to shreds. An irregular flurry
of sodden white confetti. A loopy clanging in my head.
Then the snow globe residue sinks to the bottom again.
The voice of the snow is a glazed unveiling
of rotten limbs. Snowball the shape of a bad apple.
White cake gone stale, molding, growing spores.
The color at the core of me
I've begun to abhor as a wormy gray-green
like used gauze bandages. Rancid yet repackaged
in waxy wrapper. The gelid mouth bites through
white turrets and spangles them with crystalline red.
Choke or hypnotize the arrhythmic swaying head
of the diamondback dread. Heavy pendulum.
Used gauze wrapped around the bad apple
ticking betwixt my lips. The impy kiss;
the sudden drifts of chilblained devilkins.
Maggots in snow angel positions, hissing
gimpy gimpy gimpy. Pimping powdered sugar
upon tainted silver trays. Gingerbread babies scuttle away
like cockroaches shedding burnt skins. Fruit rinds
flinch as they are rimed with hoarfrost trim.
I am weighted down and dragged outside.
Hog-tied gingerbread bride to a morgue-cold slab.
My eyes will freeze into black currants
as I stare out from my gyring dome.
My small rondure of scant residue;
snow ticking against the glass. Waiting
for the enclosure to crack. Waiting
for my crow voice to thaw and seep its rusty glissade
onto the sliver platter of snow angels with blades
for wings. Unglaciate this thing. Unfreeze the eyelash lace.
Expose the inclement face of this dark expanse.

Contributor: What does it mean to use an open API? In this deep dive, The Graph explains how (and why) APIs can be global.
How Does The Graph Fit Into DeFi and Web3?
For example, Uniswap uses a subgraph and that data is open to any developer to use in their application. Thus, we see wallets like Rainbow wallet that have built a subgraph that pulls from Uniswaps subgraph. The most efficient way to query (search) data from the blockchain is via a subgraph. An example of a closed APIs is Linkedin's API, where you cannot port the data from Linkedin to Crunchbase or your own application, because the API is closed. With The Graph, APIs are guaranteed to be and remain open via subgraphs.
Prior to The Graph, developers had to spin up centralized servers and databases in house in order to index and query blockchain data. This was time consuming for engineers, costly and created risk since centralized infrastructure can be a single point of failure. With The Graph, applications only need to reference an API endpoint for a subgraph to begin querying data, such as using the Uniswap subgraph to query trade volumes.
By making it easier for developers to interact with blockchains, The Graph is making it easier to build new applications and track valuable data. Using The Graph, developers can focus on having great user experience UX/UI, as opposed to building custom back-end infrastructure for each application.
Today, over 6,000 developers are actively using The Graph and have built over 3,400 subgraphs (open APIs) for hundreds of applications. Additionally, over 210 Indexers from 54 countries have deployed nodes in the testnet and over 2,000 Curators have signed up in the testnet.
Join us in showcasing the cryptocurrency revolution, one newsletter at a time. Subscribe now to get daily news and market updates right to your inbox, along with our millions of other subscribers (that's right, millions love us!) — what are you waiting for?
How Does The Graph Work With Ethereum?
Because the developers do not use an indexing database in-house, they can easily pull data from the blockchain in an efficient way, so applications load quickly for users. Subgraphs are also open source, meaning applications can query the same APIs used by other projects to create a single source of truth for users.
Waterfall From Web2 Into Web3
At The Graph, we believe that blockchain is the future of the internet and we are working to make that future a reality. Because The Graph uses GraphQL, a language created by and commonly used in Web2, many developers can onboard into the Web3 space and easily build on blockchains. As subgraph usage continues to rise and blockchain developer tooling improves, we will continue to see a waterfall effect from centralized Web2 technology companies to decentralized Web3 applications.
The crypto economy is a radical new imagining of the future of work. Open protocols like The Graph are creating the foundation for transparency and opportunity, enabling anyone in the world to contribute their talents to a global economy. The Graph is working towards this vision to help developers build the new coordination mechanisms of the internet age.
What Are Indexers, Delegators, Curators and Consumers?
There are many different roles in The Graph Network, including Indexing, Curating, Delegating and Consuming.
Curators deposit GRT into a bonding curve to signal on a specific subgraph and earn a portion of query fees for the subgraphs they signal on — this incentivizes the highest quality data sources.
Because signaling occurs on a bonding curve, the earlier you signal on a subgraph, the greater share of the query fees you earn on that subgraph for a given amount of GRT deposited. This also means that when you go to withdraw, you could end up with more or less GRT than you started with. To be a curator, you do not need to be technical, you just need to understand the open data.
An example of curation would be if a new DeFi subgraph pops onto the market for a protocol that you think is promising. You could signal on that subgraph to indicate to Indexers that it should be indexed and to make it discoverable by DApp developers. You would then earn a cut of the query fees on that subgraph for being early to signal.
I'm Not Technical, How Can I Get Involved?
Like the internet, The Graph Network needs all kinds of folks, from non-technical creatives, to very technical developers. If you are non-technical, you can get involved as a Curator or Delegator to earn GRT on The Graph Network and help Indexers identify which subgraphs they should index. You are also able to Delegate to any Indexer you choose to help secure the network and earn GRT for your contribution.
There are over 200 Indexers participating in Mission Control Testnet, and more than 2,000 individuals and projects are in the Curator Program contributing to the network to earn rewards for their efforts. At mainnet launch, anyone can become an Indexer or Delegator on The Graph Network.
The Future of Web3
The Graph's decentralized network will be launching soon. Genesis creation of the GRT token will occur in conjunction with the network launch. After launch, any project will be able to contribute to the network and build in The Graph ecosystem, with protocol upgrades subject to technical governance by The Graph Council. After launch, The Graph community will be working to expand support for multi-blockchain and continue adding new features to help developers collaborate on building a global API for the decentralized web.

After concerns were voiced by rank and file Democrats, House leaders announced on Tuesday that a plan to return to normal legislative business next week will be delayed, meaning a split decision in the Congress, as the Senate will resume work on May 4. 'We will not be meeting next week,' House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-MD) told reporters, citing rising Coronavirus case numbers in the Washington, D.C. metro area, and concerns voiced by the House Physician. 'The numbers in the District of Columbia are still going up,' Hoyer said. 'So, there's not a flattening of the curve.' Hoyer also cited growing cases in two immediate suburban counties in Maryland, and said the next major piece of Coronavirus legislation is not ready for votes on the House floor. 'We made a judgment that we will not come back next week, but that we hope to come back very soon,' Hoyer added. In the meantime, talks will continue between the two parties on possible changes to House rules to make it easier to conduct business during the pandemic. The decision by House Democrats means there will be a split in the Capitol, as the House will continue to hold off on legislative work, while the Senate is slated to return on Monday. In announcing plans to return, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell did not outline any of the plans to safeguard the health of Senators, Senate staff, police, security, and other Capitol Hill personnel. Among the many questions to be considered - how many staffers would each lawmaker bring back to work on Capitol Hill? What kind of precautions would be needed at entrances to the Capitol and other Congressional buildings? How would social distancing impact the work of reporters - or even the work of police and security personnel? 'The House Physician's view was that there was a risk to members that was one he would not recommend taking,' Hoyer said of the House decision to delay a return to the Capitol for regular business. Washington, D.C. remains under a stay-at-home order until May 15. Hoyer said another reason lawmakers would not be rushed back to Capitol Hill next week in the House was that work to shape a new Coronavirus relief bill is still ongoing. While GOP Senators say they want action to limit Coronavirus liability for businesses, Hoyer made clear that would not be part of the immediate agenda for Democrats in the House.

Reducing Traffic Leaks
A traffic leak is basically any link that is on your site that sends the surfer anywhere that doesn't benefit you. Some traffic leaks are unavoidable, but others can and should be avoided.
How can you tell if your site has traffic leaks? Really, it's pretty simple. Go through your site and look at every link on it then ask yourself the following: "If the surfer clicks this link, how do I benefit from it?" If you answer, "I don't." then that is a traffic leak. Some classic examples are people putting an exit link on their warning page that goes to some kind of innocuous site like CNN or Yahoo or Google. There are some people that say this will help your rank in Google or Yahoo, but most experts I have asked say it makes no difference. Another traffic leak is your 2257 info links. A 2257 link is needed on all sites, but there are better ways to get that info to people instead of using a regular link. Remember every time a person clicks a link that takes them away from your site you risk them not coming back and you are potentially losing a sale.
This is a big issue with me. Most sponsors now offer pop-up free tours. Typically pay per signup sponsors offer more per signup if you use the tour with consoles. This can be a huge traffic leak. There is a sponsor I use that has a site that converts pretty well for me. One day I clicked my link to test a page I had made and was a little shocked at what I saw. The site loaded then I was hit with two entry consoles and one of them covered the main site so you couldn't even see the site you were there for. To make it worse my link code wasn't in any of the consoles so if that console made any sales I didn't get credit for them. I understand they need the consoles so they can do pay per signup, but it really pissed me off to see that they were selling their console before the paysite. I switched to the pop-up free version which paid $5 less per signup, but converted about 20% better so I actually started making more money. It was a simple solution to a major traffic leak.
I would suggest you check out all of your sponsor's sites and see what type of leaks they have on the tour and either work to remove them through options in the program or try a different program. You might be surprised at the results.
There are some leaks that are unavoidable like recips to sites that are listing your site. There really isn't much you can do about these. One thing I would suggest is looking into a traffic trade with the site you have a recip to. If your site is going to get a lot of traffic, maybe you can trade traffic with them and get on their toplist. At least this way the hits you send them may help return more to you.
Earlier I mentioned a couple of things that are common leaks including the exit link and the 2257 links. One way to fix the 2257 link is to open it in a new browser. This way when they see it is just legal junk they can close the browser and they never left the site. Another way is to write the actual url out on the page and not link it. This way they can copy and past the info to a browser if they really are interested. The exit button has always been a bad idea I feel. Most people who find your site are looking for your site. If you have a warning page they know where they are and can hit the back button to leave. If you insist on having an exit link I would suggest starting up a site that is non-adult in nature and linking to it or finding some kind of sponsor that has non-adult sites or products. This way you can at least, hopefully, get something good from anyone that may click that link.
I have seen a lot of sites that link to stuff just because they think it's funny or cool or interesting. These are all traffic leaks. If you are running a site about funny or interesting stuff than it's fine to link to it, if you are running an adult site and trying to sell people a membership, the more you distract them from the path you are trying to lead them down the more you hurt your chances of making the sale. Look at your sites like a funnel. They bring people in at the top and funnel them down to the sponsor's site. A funnel that has holes in it is not very effective.
As I said before you should go through your site and determine the value of each link. If the link gets you something it should stay. If it is unavoidable it should stay or be modified to have as little impact as possible. If it is not needed, it should be removed. Spend part of day going back over your sites, checking your links and taking a long look at your sponsors, you might be surprised by what you find and what you can make better.

A good backpack fits well at the user's back and its features meet the purpose planned for it. There are many kinds of backpacks with different adjustment features, and that is great: every user is different, and they make many kinds of trips in their free time.
An anatomical backpack, or an internal frame backpack, consists usually of a back system integrated around two adjustable aluminium plates that serve as stiffeners with a combined pack part and back system. Internal frame backpacks are the most common backpacks. They are also often more practical when traveling than tubular/external frame backpacks. An internal frame backpack also follows movement better than a tubular-framed backpack.
There are differences between internal frame backpacks: besides the size, pay attention to the adjustment possibilities and the weight of the back system. The heaviest one is not necessarily the worst, if the support and adjustment features are great, and the lightest one is not necessarily frail if it is made technically of high-quality materials, modern materials making possible exceptionally fitting designs.
Our best-selling internal frame backpacks are at this moment Savotta's Jääkäri, Fjällräven's Kajka, and Osprey's Ariel/Aether. In these backpacks, the above-mentioned differences become visible, and the choice criteria have been based on the purpose and needs: Even though for example Kajka is heavier than Ariel/Aether, it is more stable on long hikes, in difficult terrain and with a heavy load. Aether concentrates on comfort and functionality, and even though it is also suitable for long hikes, it is even better for shorter trips that lasts for a weekend, for example.
The frame of a tubular framed / external frame backpack consists of a metal or composite-plastic frame with an attached back system and pack part. The frame is on the outside of the backpack. External frame backpacks work well for carrying heavy loads thanks to their rigidity. They are suitable for longer hikes because you attach your sleeping pad, tent and sleeping bag on the outside easier than in the internal frame backpacks. Depending on the model, you can make a decent emergency stretcher out of two external frame backpacks.
You can often hide the back system of a travel backpack inside the pack, so that the straps will not get stuck on the conveyor belt at the airport. The contents are often more accessible since travel backpacks do not open on the top like normal backpacks but on the front like suitcases.
A larger travel backpack may be sold with a small backpack that you can use separately during day trips, for example. Travel backpacks are not very suitable for hiking. The back systems are often simpler, and there are not so many adjustment or attachment possibilities.
The back system of a backpack consists of a hip belt, shoulder straps and balancing straps. By adjusting these parts, you can make the backpack fit well at your back. When the backpack is well adjusted, it will not strain your shoulders, but most of the weight rests on your hip. The backpack should be adjusted close to your back so that the weight of the pack will not pull you backwards. If the pack pulls you backwards, it will make your shoulders, the zone between your shoulder blades and your neck ache.
Adjusting an internal frame backpack to fit at your back:
1. Loosen the back system a little bit, or the hip belt, the shoulder straps, and the balancing straps.
2. Lift the backpack to your shoulders and fasten the hip belt when leaning forwards.
3. Make sure that your hip bones are in the middle of the hip belt. Then tighten up the hip belt.
4. Tighten up the shoulder straps. They are too tight if they feel uncomfortable.
5. Fasten the chest strap between the shoulder straps.
6. Tighten up slowly the balancing straps. Tighten up till the backpack is balanced / does not pull you backwards.
7. Tighten up the strap between the lower bag of the backpack and the hip belt.
If you can, come and try on the backpack in our store. You will get advice on the fit and the adjustments and be sure that the model/size you choose really is the best for you.

Photo's of Hibiscus
Hibiscus is a genus of flowering plants in the mallow family, Malvaceae. It is quite large, containing about 200–220 species that are native to warm-temperate, subtropical and tropical regions throughout the world. Member species are often noted for their showy flowers and are commonly known as hibiscus, sorrel, and flor de Jamaica, or less widely known as rosemallow. The genus includes both annual and perennial herbaceous plants, as well as woody shrubs and small trees. The generic name is derived from the Greek word iβίσκος (hibískos), which was the name Pedanius Dioscorides (ca. 40-90) gave to Althaea officinalis.
The leaves are alternate, simple, ovate to lanceolate, often with a toothed or lobed margin. The flowers are large, conspicuous, trumpet-shaped, with five or more petals, ranging from white to pink, red, orange, purple or yellow, and from 4–18 cm broad. Flower color in certain species, such as H. mutabilis and H. tiliaceus, changes with age.[5] The fruit is a dry five-lobed capsule, containing several seeds in each lobe, which are released when the capsule dehisces (splits open) at maturity.
Many species are grown for their showy flowers or used as landscape shrubs. Many species are used to attract butterflies and bees. Hibiscus is also a primary ingredient in many herbal teas.
One species of Hibiscus, known as Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus), is extensively used in paper making. Another, roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa) is used as a vegetable and to make herbal teas and jams, especially in the Caribbean.
In Jamaica and many other islands in the Caribbean, the drink is known as sorrel (Hibiscus sabdariffa; not to be confused with Rumex acetosa, a species sharing the common name sorrel) and is considered a quite popular at Christmas time. It is served cold and mixed with other herbs, roots, and spices and sweetened with cane sugar. Often it is served mixed with Jamaican rum or wine but is also refreshing without any alcohol. Roselle is typically boiled in an enamel-coated large stock pot as most West Indians believe the metal from aluminum, steel or copper pots will destroy the natural minerals and vitamins. A large quantity of the flower is used to ensure a thick dark red tea is made. The tea is popular as a natural diuretic and contains vitamin C and minerals and is used traditionally as a mild medicine.
All over the world, the tea drink is consumed hot or cold. It is known as Bissap in West Africa, Karkadé in Egypt and Sudan, flor de Jamaica in Mexico, Gongura in India and Brazil. Some refer to it as roselle, a common name for the hibiscus flower.
In Mexico, it is well known for its color, tanginess and mild flavor; once sugar is added, it tastes somewhat like a more intense herbal and berry (cranberry, raspberry, etc.) infused tea. Dieters or people with kidney problems often take it without adding sugar for its beneficial properties and as a natural diuretic.
In Cambodia, a cold berverage can be prepared by first steeping the petals in hot water until the colors are leached from the petals, then adding lime juice (which turns the beverage from dark brown/red to a bright red), sweeteners (sugar/honey) and finally cold water/ice cubes.
Certain species of hibiscus are also beginning to be used more widely as a natural source of food coloring (E163), and replacement of Red #3 / E127.
Hibiscus species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Chionodes hibiscella, Hypercompe hambletoni, the Nutmeg moth, and the Turnip Moth.
The Hibiscus is used as an offering to goddess Kali and Lord Ganesha in Hindu worship.
Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is considered to have a number of medical uses in Chinese herbology.
The bark of the hibiscus contains strong bast fibres. They can be obtained by letting the stripped bark sit in the sea in order to let the organic material rot away. In Polynesia these fibers (fau, pūrau) are used for making grass skirts. They have also been known to be used to make wigs.
Hibiscus, especially White Hibiscus and Red hibiscus (Hibiscus rosa-sinensis), is considered to have medicinal properties in the Indian traditional system of medicine, Ayurveda. Roots make various concoctions believed to cure ailments such as cough. The flowers are boiled in oil along with other spices to make a medicated hair oil to prevent greying and hair loss. The leaves and flowers are ground into a fine paste with a little water and the resulting lathery paste is used as a shampoo plus conditioner.
A 2008 USDA study shows consuming hibiscus tea lowers blood pressure in a group of pre-hypertensive and mildly hypertensive adults. Three cups of tea daily resulted in an average drop of 7.2 point in their systolic blood pressure, compared to a 1.3 point drop in the volunteers who drank the placebo beverage. Study participants with higher blood pressure readings (129 or above) had a greater response to hibiscus tea: their systolic blood pressure went down by 13.2 points. These data support the idea that drinking hibiscus tea in an amount readily incorporated into the diet may play a role in controlling blood pressure, although more research is required.
In the Philippines, the gumamela (local name for hibiscus) is used by children as part of a bubble-making pastime. The flowers and leaves are crushed until the sticky juices come out. Hollow papaya stalks are then dipped into this and used as straws for blowing bubbles.
Dried hibiscus is edible, and is often a delicacy in Mexico. It can also be candied and used as a garnish.
The red hibiscus flower is traditionally worn by Tahitian women. A single flower is tucked behind the ear. It is used to indicate the wearer's availability for marriage.
National symbol
Hibiscus syriacus is the national flower of South Korea.
Hibiscus rosa-sinensis is the national flower of MalaysiaSpecies
In temperate zones, probably the most commonly grown ornamental species is Hibiscus syriacus, the common garden Hibiscus, also known in some areas as the "Rose of Althea" or "Rose of Sharon" (but not to be confused with the unrelated Hypericum calycinum, also called "Rose of Sharon"). In tropical and subtropical areas, the Chinese hibiscus (H. rosa-sinensis), with its many showy hybrids, is the most popular hibiscus.
About 200-220 species are known, including:
* Hibiscus acetosella Welw. ex Hiern. - False Roselle
* Hibiscus arnottianus A.Gray - Kokiʻo ʻula (Hawaii)
* Hibiscus brackenridgei A.Gray - Maʻo hau hele (Hawaii)
* Hibiscus calyphyllus (Tropical Africa)
* Hibiscus cameronii
* Hibiscus cannabinus L. - Kenaf
* Hibiscus clayi O.Deg. & I.Deg. - Hawaiian Red Hibiscus (Hawaii)
