Throaty V8, killer style and all-day comfort. Lexus hangs loose and wild with its LC sport coupe
Let's say five years ago, you went up a Lexus driver and said, "In half a decade, Lexus will make an LS that handles better than a 7 Series, as well as a coupe that's cooler than a Maserati GranTurismo."
Their response would be to ignore the crazy person and drive off as quickly as they could, but still in a quiet, refined Lexus way.
Present day: If you said the same to the driver of a Lexus LC, they'd whoop out loud: "Damn right wise ass, and this is it!" Then drop a burnout at the push of a single button, and roar off in a glorious miasma of tyre smoke overlaid with a soaring V8 soundtrack.
The LC looks like nothing else on the road – a difficult thing to do – and takes no cues from history, yet still looks aggressive and elegant in the right proportions. And speaking of proportions, the LC's design works because it's entirely its own thing: The fat haunches, the unique A-pillar and silhouette, the intricate details.
That it's come from an almost totally unexpected quarter to shake up primarily European-influenced GT-design is just another plus point. And we think it'd look just as good roaming the streets of a cyberpunk Tokyo as it would the streets of old Florence.
The interior's just as fetching. There are suggestive curves all over, from the supportive sport seats to the 'wave' patterns on the door and the 'monoposto' high-rise cockpit with a central instrument dial.
It's all very driver-centric: The spot-on sporty seating position is low and comfortable, the drive mode and traction knobs are easily reachable, mounted as they are above the instrument dial. The latter is the same as featured on the Lexus RC F, a movable single-dial cluster that changes colour/theme depending on the drive mode. Additional menus display wing position, the G-force meter and more.
Despite it being a grand touring sport coupe, visibility is excellent: It's certainly easier to maneuver than many recent SUVs, thanks to the thin, 'flying' A-pillars that allow you to see out the sides easily, while the rear quarter-windows enable simple, 'life-saver' blind spot checks, though it also comes with a blind spot monitoring system as standard.
Aside from a gruff bark upon start-up, the LC's very civilised, though this is a grand tourer after all, and it handles the daily grind well, almost like any old Lexus. The coupe body, sporty suspension and big, 21-inch wheels spell for a slightly busier ride than a garden variety Lexus, but it's similar to the RC and RC F models, and nowhere near as hardcore as say, a Mercedes-AMG C 63 S.
Under the elegant bonnet is the same 5.0-litre V8 engine as found on the RC F, but it makes a tiny bit more power here for a total of 470hp. On paper, that's not as much as it sounds, compared to cars like the BMW M6 or Mercedes-AMG SL 63, which both have well over 550hp. In fact the LC's 0-100km/h time of 4.7 seconds seems downright relaxed, but it's another clue that Lexus isn't chasing kilometres per hour, but smiles per minute.
470hp is still more than enough power for anyone, though, but the best thing is that the LC's engine, remains a stirring, controllable gem just like on the RC. While all the Europeans have switched to turbos (Maserati Granturismo aside), the V8 is stubbornly, charmingly naturally-aspirated, and that breeds a deep driver connection.
Watch More: Want to know how the LC 500 sounds and looks? Watch our video review, click the photo below.
A big part of that stems from the feeling you won't fly into the scenery if you give it more than half throttle, that it remains predictable and controllable even in tight spaces, the other part comes from the hair-raising, high-revving sound track.
It's not quite as 110-percent visceral as the GranTurismo's crossplane-cranked 4.2-litre V8, but it's not far off: edge toward the 7,300rpm redline and it makes sounds you never thought possible in a Lexus.
The other half of the glorious drivetrain's partnership is the new ten-speed gearbox, another achievement Lexus is justifiably proud of. Not only does it give the car a wider spectrum of manners – 90km/h in top gear is only a smidgen above 1,000rpm – it always knows what you're going to expect, lightning-fast when it needs to be, almost instantaneous with the gearshifts, followed by a whip-crack rev-match once you engage the hefty magnesium-shift paddles.
If we had driven the LC before the new Lexus LS international launch the sensational handling of the latter might have come as less of a surprise, given that both cars run on the new Lexus GA-L platform (Global Architecture, Luxury) which is the brand's stiffest road-going platform to date.
Like the LS, the engie's pushed far into the centre of the car, behind the front axle, while the front and rear overhangs are very short. All of this contributes to a machine that responds exceptionally well to a driver's every desire.
'Controllability' is the key word here, and the LC has that rare quality of delivering it no matter how fast – or slow – you're going. The ease of use means, like the RC, the LC is a comfortable car to drive quickly, and that pays dividends whether you're driving in a carpark or on track.
The usual foibles of a GT apply: Boot space is a mere 197-litres, and while the rear seats are comfortable, they're simply not for anyone who actually owns knees. It's ostensibly a 2+2 but the seats only exist to give you an excuse to drop off pesky friends as soon as possible.
The charm and sensuousness of a naturally-aspirated engine mean worser fuel economy too – we never bettered 14.0L/100km, but we also never delved into 'eco' mode. It's the price to pay for a new-school GT with a thoroughly old-school, driver-appealing charm though, a new part of the Lexus canon that'll make you feel positively saintly, even while sinning.

Dr. Gregory Berns – TRANSCRIPT
How many of you are dog people? A show of hands. Excellent! How about cat people? OK, you guys can go to the break early. So, of the dog people and the cat people who want to be dog people, how many of you have thought, "Wouldn't it be great to know what my dog is thinking?" I think everyone else already knows what their dog is thinking, right? I got into this project, and I'm going to tell you a little bit about how – This is basically a stupid dog trick story.
It really started with this dog named Newton, who was really my favorite dog. I've had many dogs through my life, but Newton was my favorite, and he lived to be about 15 years old. After he passed away, I thought, I have these tools, this MRI machine, that I have been using for decades to study human decision making and what motivates people, why haven't we used this on other animals?
Certainly, other animals have many of the same feelings and motivations that people do. But this is kind of an area of science that people don't like to talk about. So I embarked on this project about four years ago to try to figure out what dogs think, and specifically what dogs think of us. If we're talking about humans, we have kind of two ways we can think about what other people are thinking: we can either ask them, and sometimes they will tell us if they know, and they want us to know what they are thinking; or we can observe actions, we can observe behaviors, we can try to infer things about what people are thinking from their actions.

A small(ish) temperate costal town known for its local fish.
Particularly the Green Fin and the long Gar. The Green Fin is a variety of Tilapia that is remarkable for being salted. The Salted fish lasts longer than other varieties when properly cured. While the Long Gar reach incredible sizes.
Where the main road widens between the docks and the tax offices you can find a dozen or so open air stalls and carts that sell fresh fish, food, and trinkets from around the country side.
tax office
The tax office is where C. Hinton Karlsun collects taxes due. He has a group of general ruffians that do his bidding and keep the peace in the region.
duplicate talisman
Sawdust floors, wooden tables, and iron hard men are what you will generally find in Harrell Cochrane's tavern. There are only three rules: pay up front and mind your manners.
iron and elixirs
The blacksmith is so far from the centre of town it might be hard to find at first. Glahan makes good, if plain, products and his partner Toxz can make any kind of remedy you might need.

When I first created an Evernote account and started experimenting with what it offers, I created my fist note and tested the "Sketch" option (where you can draw anything inside the note). I drew a random doodle, deleted it, and kept on writing in my note without any further Sketch integrations. Now, every time I watch a preview of this note, it is always showing me this doodle that is not present in the note anymore.
It does not really inhibit my work with Evernote, but it is slightly annoying that this random doodle that I drew some time ago keeps getting shown in my note's preview. Any idea on how to make it dissapear from the preview as well? There must be a way to fix this, right?
Looking forward to hearing your troubleshoots/suggestions.

The North Carolina-Based Company Making Salt Unlike Any Other
We know the finely ground "white stuff" isn't our only salt option. From Himalayan pink to Celtic gray, Hawaiian black, kosher, flake, smoked, and pickling salts, a dizzying array of salty options travel the globe to season our meals. But there's a homegrown undercurrent of salt-making families in America still creating simple, artisan, small-batch sea salt using solar power alone – simply the sun and sea water hauled in by buckets. Some use solar-heated ovens and wind power to speed the drying process, and many mix their salts with organic dried herbs for flavoring.
But one family saltworks team on windswept Hatteras Island benefits from a dynamic current-fueled phenomenon straight from Mother Nature. It "happens nowhere else on earth," according to hands-on husband-and-wife owners Brian McMahon and Shaena Mullaney. It results in salt like no other as well, harboring a flood of healthy minerals from high-salinity waters lapping the shores of North Carolina's Outer Banks (OBX) –– particularly in the Sargasso Sea waters around Hatteras Island. From intriguing oceanic currents to evaporation hoop houses, a boat named "BarNaCle," and a lot of hard work, Hatteras Saltworks carves out a comforting niche in artisanal sea-salt production.
Salters and the sea
The family's sea-swarthy stories unfold over many chapters, incorporating the U.S. Coast Guard, world-famous Fluer de Sel salt from France, and years of experimental salt-centric travel in the Caribbean, Hawaii, Mexico, and Nicaragua. It all culminates in earthy brown bags of pure, healthy salt from the sea – with options for spicy, smoky, or aromatic seasonings.
Landing on Hatteras Island with the U.S. Coast Guard in 2000, McMahon dove into water operations, repairing and positioning vulnerable buoys, lights, and beacons affected by shifting shoals. Along with his wife, Shaena, and son, Declan, the family fell in love with life in the relatively isolated and somewhat wild Outer Banks. After moving on in 2004, the Carolinas' siren song never went silent, drawing them to distant seas where they mastered the art of drawing, evaporating, and drying salt over years of travel.
After returning to the OBX in 2014, they launched Hatteras Saltworks. Sea mysteries awaited, including the astounding natural anomalies tied to the Gulf Stream and the warm Labrador Current, which happen to collide in the waters of Cape Hatteras. The resulting currents give the thin barrier island its quirky elbow-shaped landform. When those currents merge, the Gulf Stream shoots straight out to sea and rushes toward Brittany, France, home to the renowned Fluer de Sel sea salt, explains McMahon and Mullaney. Likewise, the salty waters on their end of the currents contribute to McMahon's conviction that "pure nutrient-rich waters make pure nutrient-rich ocean salt."
Making sea salt the Hatteras way
The couple navigated a few "storms" when developing the method for their exclusive Hatteras salts. First, regulations prohibited water hauling across island beaches, leading to pier-access deals for pure ocean water involving pumps, pipes, and waiting trucks. Next was seeking agreements with other seaside communities in the OBX, but summer tourism hindered water harvesting during peak solar evaporation months. Then, finally, came the "BarNaCle" boat, christened as a clever nod to sodium chloride (NaCl), the chemical name for salt, as well as to the sticky little "barnacle" crustaceans familiar to most boat owners.
"BarNaCle," an aging SISU Navy boat from Norfolk, Virginia, had no deck and a rotten stern, but the saltmakers exhaustively brought her back to life. She now cruises through Hatteras Inlet, subject to high tides and favorable winds, while negotiating sandbars, trees, sea life, and myriad unexpected encounters, all while collecting the pristine source water for Hatteras salt. NOAA explains how the Sargasso Sea, which resides completely within the Atlantic Ocean and is the world's only sea without a single land border, is home to migrating humpback whales, porbeagle sharks, endangered eels, and way more.
Less than ten years ago, the owner's early salt-making days included constructing equipment from recycled materials, using homes that crumbled into the ocean. They've now settled on hoop houses to evaporate the salt, similar to greenhouses but holding sea-salt ponds inside. Solar ovens complete the drying process.
The salty end result, with creative customizing
From solar ovens to dinner tables, there's only the packaging in between, unless it's the Hatteras salts set aside for seasoning or smoking. A favorite is the six-hour smoked pecan-wood sea salt, while earthy seasonings define other salt packets, including ginger, lavender, garlic, lemon pepper, and rosemary. It's all done in-house on the island, from sea to solar to supper table.
According to the swashbuckling history and spirit of the Outer Banks, sailors and traders once used the infamous Gulf Stream currents off Hatteras Island as trading routes between the Caribbean, Europe, and America. But sea-swarthy pilfering pirates notoriously robbed the inexperienced sea merchants as they wove through the channels and tumultuous currents. Fortunately, getting your hands on valuable goods such as sustainably-produced, mineral-rich sea salts is a bit easier now.

BMW has extended its contract with DHL Freight for its overland transport in 17 countries. The new deal also operations in seven additional areas.
DHL will manage about 90,000 shipments per month. Temperature-controlled shipping and dedicated transports are available in all areas covered by the contract.
As part of the deal, DHL Freight is implementing "Connected Supply Chain" which gives real-time end-to-end supply chain visibility to all relevant stakeholders.
The system developed together with Axit, the cloud-based IT specialist, makes order and status data are visible via a central portal. Orders receive a single reference number from beginning to end. Drivers can access the system via a mobile application designed specifically for them.
As part of the solution, DHL Freight has established a Control Tower, where all streams of goods in Europe are monitored, providing a unique opportunity to consolidate complex data and identify areas where operations may be optimized. BMW can thereby identify potential for savings and monitor the performance of suppliers and carriers in real-time.
Uwe Brinks of DHL Freight said: "With BMW, we set out to create a solution specifically designed for their needs, one that would provide complete transparency throughout the supply chain, allowing the customer a consolidated overview of extremely complex processes."

The Dress
I am a wedding photographer and chose this dress because I had never photographed anything like it before. I loved the modern geometrical embellished pattern, and the halter neckline.
I felt very sexy but timeless wearing it!
Condition is perfect. I only got the bottom a bit dirty on the day as I had a city wedding in London. The dress has been professionally dry cleaned so all the dirt from the bottom has come out.
It looks brand new!
I chose to have the material taken away from under the train so I could see the patterned detail more. I personally think it looks better this way!
Obviously had it fitted to me and taken up slightly so I didn't trip over!

In this eight-minute documentary, Ashley Young discusses how growing up missing part of her right arm affected her early life. Some children didn't want to play with her, for example, and someone she had a crush on told her he'd date her—if she had another hand.
She also talks about the process of getting a new bionic arm, learning to use it, and how it helps her emotionally. Now, instead of people asking her what happened to her, she says that they speak excitedly about her "cool robot arm."
"I 100 percent would consider myself a human cyborg," she says.
To learn more about Young, who also has a passion to be a role model for kids with limb differences, watch the full award-winning video at bit.ly/2VXNkh5.

A U.S. federal judge has ruled a national mask mandate on airplanes and other public transportation is not lawful, overturning a Biden administration policy.
The ruling Monday by U.S. District Judge Kathryn Kimball Mizelle in Tampa, Florida, said health officials had exceeded their authority in issuing the mandate.
The judge said the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) failed to properly justify its decision and did not follow procedures in issuing the mandate.
Earlier this month, the CDC extended its mask mandate on public transportation by 15 days until May 3. Health authorities said they needed time to assess the impact of the BA.2 omicron subvariant of the coronavirus, which is causing cases to rise in some parts of the country.
The mask mandate, which was first issued in February 2021, covers airplanes, trains, transit hubs, taxis and ride-share vehicles.
Mizelle was appointed by former President Donald Trump. The lawsuit against the mask mandate was filed last year in Florida by a group called the Health Freedom Defense Fund.
Airlines had lobbied for months for federal officials to end the mask mandate, arguing that advanced filters on planes make transmission of the coronavirus on flights unlikely.
The Biden administration said Tuesday it would attempt to block the ruling by appealing the decision. The U.S. Justice Department released the following statement on Health Freedom Defense Fund Inc., et. al. v. Biden, et. al. from spokesman Anthony Coley:
"The Department of Justice and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) disagree with the district court's decision and will appeal, subject to CDC's conclusion that the order remains necessary for public health. The Department continues to believe that the order requiring masking in the transportation corridor is a valid exercise of the authority Congress has given CDC to protect the public health. That is an important authority the Department will continue to work to preserve."
The Justice Department did acknowledge that "If CDC concludes that a mandatory order remains necessary for the public's health after that assessment, the Department of Justice will appeal the district court's decision."
Some information in this report came from the Associated Press and Reuters.

Spotify already surprised us last year with the new feature it launched so that users could see the lyrics of their favorite songs. However, they wanted to go a step further: Now we can enjoy the Spotify Karaoke tool.
If you are still not very familiar and don't know exactly what it is or how it works, stick around to learn more about Spotify Karaoke and how to use it.
What is Spotify Karaoke?
As we have mentioned before, Spotify had included in 2021 a feature that allowed users to read the lyrics while listening to their favorite songs.
However, when checking how people were using it, the app for listening to streaming music discovered what its platform needed: a Spotify Karaoke version.
Well now, both functionalities are totally different.
The "view lyrics" mode only shows them to you while you listen to a song. Karaoke Spotify removes the singer's voice so you can sing over the instrumental, plus it gives you a final score on how your performance went!
The tool to see the "lyrics" is not the same as Spotify Karaoke
It is clear Spotify knows how to attract its target audience. Encouraging user participation is becoming a growing trend.
If you are interested in knowing other keys that are leading the industry, we recommend you read this post about the top trends in the music industry.
How to use Spotify Karaoke?
1. Sign in to Spotify
To get started, you don't need to activate anything outside of the platform. Therefore, the first step is that you enter Spotify and choose a song.
2. Play the song full screen
Once you have chosen the song with which you want to use Spotify Karaoke, click on the song to put it in full screen mode.
3. Click on the lyrics of the song
To get to the Karaoke option, we must click on the box that shows us the song's lyrics while we are listening to it.
4. Click on the microphone
When you have the lyrics full screen, in the upper right corner you will see a microphone icon. That's the Karaoke feature!
5. Sing!
Once you've clicked on the microphone, it's time to start singing!
Remember that Spotify will remove the singer's voice to leave you with the instrumental in the background. In addition, Spotify will monitor your voice to rate how well you have done at the end of the song.
Access to Spotify Karaoke
There are many questions that Spotify users are wondering about the new Karaoke mode.
However, here we answer some questions that we have confirmed.
1. Is this feature available globally?
This feature is only available to those who have the app updated and reside in an English-speaking country.
The Spotify Karaoke feature is currently only available to people residing in an English-speaking country
So, if you haven't seen the Karaoke feature yet, don't worry, it will soon be available worldwide.
What's more, if you can't wait, you can always use a VPN to try out this new feature.
Many people are creating their own Karaoke playlists, so you can take a look at everything you need to know about Spotify playlists to be prepared when it arrives in your country.
Spotify Karaoke mode will be available worldwide
2. Will I be able to use Spotify Karaoke if I don't have a Premium account?
The answer is yes, this new tool will be available to all users. It does not matter if it is with a free account or a Premium account.
3. Will I be able to use Spotify Karaoke on my television?
It is expected. Although some Android and IOS users are still having trouble connecting Spotify to their smart TV.
Therefore, the application hopes to solve these problems when the Karaoke mode is available to everyone, so that they can connect it to their television without problems.
4. Do we have to expect new features from Spotify?
Yes, Spotify has a lot of new ideas lined up!
The streaming music company is planning to launch live streamings in order to compete against other platforms that already enjoy this functionality.
Spotify is planning to launch live streamings on its platform
Apart from these features that we have answered, Spotify offers many opportunities to artists who want to share their works in the app.
For example, you can learn how to create a pre-save campaign on Spotify so that all your fans remember when your new release is released.
Now stay tuned to Spotify and show the world the artist inside you!

From Common Dreams
By Medea Benjamin, Zolta'n Grossman
Just as we want to radically redefine the role of police in our local communities, so we must radically redefine the role of military personnel in the global community.
Since George Floyd was murdered, we have seen an increasing convergence of the "war at home" against Black and brown people with the "wars abroad" that the U.S. has waged against people in other countries. Army and National Guard troops have been deployed in U.S. cities, as militarized police treat our cities as occupied war zones. In response to this "endless war" at home, the growing and thunderous cries for defunding the police have been echoed by calls for defunding the Pentagon's wars. Instead of seeing these as two separate but related demands, we should see them as intimately linked, since the racialized police violence on our streets and the racialized violence the U.S. has long inflicted on people around the world are mirror reflections of each other.
2 -- Just as the U.S. was created by taking over the lands of Indigenous peoples by force, so America as an empire uses war to expand access to markets and resources. Settler colonialism has been an "endless war" at home against Indigenous nations, who were colonized when their lands were still defined as foreign territories, to be annexed for their fertile land and natural resources. The Army forts stationed in Native nations back then were the equivalent of foreign military bases today, and the Native resisters were the original "insurgents" who were in the way of American conquest. The "Manifest Destiny" colonization of Native lands morphed into overseas imperial expansion, including the seizure of Hawai'i, Puerto Rico, and other colonies, and the counterinsurgency wars in the Philippines and Vietnam. In the 21st century, U.S.-led wars have destabilized the Middle East and Central Asia, while increasing control over the region's fossil fuel resources. The Pentagon has used the template of the Indian Wars to frighten the American public with the specter of "lawless tribal regions" that need to be "tamed," within countries such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen, and Somalia. Meanwhile, Wounded Knee in 1973 and Standing Rock in 2016 show how settler colonialism can become remilitarized back in the U.S. "homeland." Stopping oil pipelines and toppling Columbus statues shows how Indigenous resistance can also be renewed in the heart of the empire.
3 -- The police and military are both internally plagued by racism. With the Black Lives Matter protests, many people have now learned about the origins of U.S. police in all-white slave patrols. It is no accident that hiring and promotion within police departments have historically favored whites, and officers of color around the country continue to sue their departments for discriminatory practices. The same is true in the military, where segregation was official policy until 1948. Today, people of color are pursued to fill the bottom ranks, but not the top positions. Military recruiters set up recruiting stations in communities of color, where government disinvestment in social services and education makes the military one of the few ways to not only get a job, but access to health care and a free college education. That's why about 43 percent -- of the 1.3 million men and women on active duty are people of color, and Native Americans serve in the Armed Forces at five times -- the national average. But the upper echelons of the military remain almost exclusively a white-boys' club (of the 41 senior commanders, only two are Black and only one is a woman). Under Trump, racism in the military is on the rise. A 2019 survey found that 53 percent of servicemembers of color said they had seen examples of white nationalism or ideologically driven racism among their fellow troops, a number up significantly from the same poll in 2018. Far-right militias have attempted to both infiltrate the military and collude with police.
4 -- The Pentagon's troops and "surplus" weapons are being used on our streets. Just as the Pentagon often uses the language of "police actions" to describe its foreign interventions, police are being militarized within the U.S. When the Pentagon ended up in the 1990s with weapons of war it no longer needed, it created the "1033 Program" to distribute armored personnel carriers, submachine guns, and even grenade launchers to police departments. More than $7.4 billion in military equipment and goods have been transferred to more than 8,000 law enforcement agencies -- turning the police into occupation forces and our cities into war zones. We saw this vividly in 2014 in the aftermath of the killing of Michael Brown, when police flush with military gear made the streets of Ferguson, Missouri look like Iraq. More recently, we saw these militarized police forces deployed against the George Floyd Rebellion, with military helicopters overhead, and the Minnesota Governor comparing the deployment to an "overseas war." Trump has deployed federal troops and wanted to send in more, much as active-duty troops were previously used against several workers' strikes in the 1890s-1920s, the Bonus Army veterans' protests of 1932, and Black uprisings in Detroit in 1943 and 1967, in multiple cities in 1968 (after the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.), and in Los Angeles in 1992 (after the acquittal of the police who had beaten Rodney King). Sending in soldiers trained for combat only makes a bad situation worse, and this can open the eyes of Americans to the shocking violence with which the U.S. military tries, but often fails, to quell dissent in occupied countries. Congress may now object to the transfer of military equipment to police, and Pentagon officials may object to using troops against U.S. citizens at home, but they rarely object when the targets are foreigners or even U.S. citizens who live abroad.
5 -- U.S. interventions abroad, especially the "War on Terror," erode our civil liberties at home. Techniques of surveillance that are tested on foreigners have long been imported to suppress dissent at home, ever since occupations in Latin America and the Philippines. In the wake of the 9/11 attacks, while the U.S. military was purchasing super drones to kill U.S. enemies (and often innocent civilians) and collect intelligence on entire cities, U.S. police departments began buying smaller, but powerful, spy drones. Black Lives Matter protesters have recently seen these "eyes in the sky" spying on them. This is just one example of the surveillance society that the U.S. has become since 9/11. The so-called "War on Terror" has been a justification for the tremendous expansion of government powers at homebroad "data mining," increased the secrecy of federal agencies, No-Fly lists to prohibit people tens of thousands of people from traveling, and vast government spying on social, religious and political groups, from the Quakers to Greenpeace to the ACLU, including military spying on antiwar groups. The use of unaccountable mercenaries abroad also makes their use more likely at home, as when Blackwater private security contractors were flown from Baghdad to New Orleans in the wake of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, to be used against the devastated Black community. And in turn, if police and armed far-right militias and mercenaries can commit violence with impunity in the homeland, it normalizes and enables even great violence elsewhere.
6 -- The xenophobia and Islamophobia at the heart of the "War on Terror" has fed hatred of immigrants and Muslims at home. Just as wars abroad are justified by racism and religious bias, they also feed white and Christian supremacy at home, as could be seen in Japanese-American incarceration in the 1940s, and anti-Muslim sentiment that rose in the 1980s. The 9/11 attacks precipitated hate crimes against Muslims and Sikhs, as well as a federally imposed travel ban that denies entrance to the U.S. for people from entire countries, separating families, depriving students of access to universities, and detaining immigrants in private prisons. Senator Bernie Sanders, writing in Foreign Affairs, said, "When our elected leaders, pundits, and cable news personalities promote relentless fear-mongering about Muslim terrorists, they inevitably create a climate of fear and suspicion around Muslim American citizens -- a climate in which demagogues like Trump can thrive." He also decried the xenophobia resulting from turning our immigration debate into a debate about Americans' personal security, pitting millions of U.S. citizens against undocumented and even documented immigrants. The militarization of the U.S.-Mexico border, using hyperbolic claims of infiltrating criminals and terrorists, has normalized the use of drones and checkpoints that bring the techniques of authoritarian control into the "homeland." (Meanwhile, U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel were also deployed to the borders of occupied Iraq.)
7 -- Both the military and the police suck up enormous amounts of taxpayer dollars that should be used for building a just, sustainable, and equitable society. Americans are already participating in supporting state violence, whether we realize it or not, by paying taxes to the police and military that carry it out in our names. Police budgets account for an astronomical percentage of cities' discretionary funds compared to other crucial community programs, ranging from 20 to 45 percent of discretionary funding in major metropolitan areas.Per capita police spending in the city of Baltimore for 2020 is an astounding $904 (imagine what every resident could do with $904). Nationwide, the U.S. spends more than twice as much on "law and order" as it does on cash welfare programs. This trend has been widening since the 1980s, as we have taken funds out of poverty programs to put into fighting crime, the inevitable consequence of that neglect. The same pattern is true with the Pentagon budget. The 2020 military budget of $738 billion is larger than the next 10 countries combined. The Washington Post reported -- that if the U.S. spent the same proportion of its GDP on its military as most European countries do, it "could fund a universal child-care policy, extend health insurance to the approximately 30 million Americans who lack it, or provide substantial investments in repairing the nation's infrastructure." Closing the 800+ overseas military bases alone -- would save $100 billion dollars a year. Prioritizing the police and military means deprioritizing resources for community needs. Even President Eisenhower described military spending in 1953 as "a theft from those who hunger and are not fed."

Forex Real Profit EA backtesting report
A few backtesting reports are present under the performance section of the official site. Here is a screenshot of one of them:
From the above strategy tester report, we can see the testing was done on the EURUSD pair on the M15 timeframe. A total net profit of 24360565.63 was generated for a deposit of 500. The testing was done from 2003 up to 2021. A profit factor of 1.35 and profitability of 59% were present. The maximum drawdown was 11.51%. While the drawdown is low, the profits are not high indicating a less than average performance and approach.
Forex Real Profit EA live results
A real USD account verified by the IC Markets broker using the leverage of 1:500 on the MT4 platform is shown here.
From the above screenshots, a total profit of 703.09% and an absolute profit of 22.97% are present. The huge difference between the two values indicates a risky approach. A daily profit of 0.07% and a monthly profit of 2.15% show a decent growth rate. The drawdown of 37.56% however shows the strategies used are of a high-risk category.
For the account that started in December 2013, the growth curve is not smooth with several dips and peaks. A total of 1758 trades have been completed with 56% profitability and a profit factor of 1.20. From history, we can see lot sizes varying from 0.01 up to 0.07 are used. The low profits and varying lot sizes show the strategy used is not effective resulting in a below-average performance.

Some of the key features that the vendor focuses on are:
- The EURUSD is the main currency pair this EA works on, but it also works on the GBPUSD pair.

Money management
This EA uses dynamic SL, TP, and lot size values. A safety SL that starts from 50 pips to 200 pips is placed based on the strategy used. Further, the risk optimization is done using the 17-year backtests and 10 years of live trading results.
Vendor transparency
There is no info on the vendor or the developer team. We could not find company details like the founding year, location address, phone number, etc. The absence of info indicates a lack of transparency.
High drawdown
From real trading stats, we find the system has a high drawdown. Further lot sizes vary and are big denoting a risky approach. The high drawdown and big lot sizes show the risk used is high which can affect your capital.
Pricing details
To use this FX robot, you have to pay $199 per year. A 30-day money-back guarantee is present. The vendor assures the best support, continuous updates, and long-term verified results with the package. When compared to the price of other competitor systems, we find the price is expensive.

Exceptional quality French First Empire mantel clock in antique vert marble and patinated bronze and ormolu.
The clock is signed on the dial by the eminent maker L'Echopié Jne à Paris.
The most unusual three tier case is surmounted by the main subject of the clock, that is a woman in classical dress suckling her baby while sitting upon the most luxurious and expensive day bed with ormolu griffin supports and elaborate cushions with tassels.
Below this is a patinated bronze base with applied cast ormolu mounts to the front
depicting children playing horn and tambourine within a field and surrounded by toys. There are also applied ormolu mounts of goats to the side of the case.
This base stands on ormolu paw feet above a further antique vert marble base with ormolu dish inset for the pendulum with floral mounts and ormolu mouldings to the edge and standing upon fine ormolu toupee feet.
The fine white convex enamel dial with elaborate and beautifully cast and pierced gilt bronze hands pointing to black Roman numerals is surrounded by a well decorated ormolu bezel.
The dial is signed L'Echopié Jne à Paris.
Adam L'Echopié was a fine maker of clocks
working in Paris in the late 18th century and early 19th century. He had two clockmaker sons, one, another Adam known as L'Echopie Jeune who made this clock. The family worked at Rue Neuve des Petits Champs from 1772 till about 1830.
The movement is of 8 day duration and regulated by a silk suspended pendulum. It strikes the hours and halves on a cast bell by means of the countwheel system.
This clock was almost certainly made in the period 1811-12 and I believe may have been commissioned to celebrate the birth to Empress Louise of Napoleon's son, the Future King of Rome in 1811.
height 18 inches high by 15.5 inches wide by 5.5 inches deep (45cm by 38.76 by 13.75).
A near-identical clock, although signed Bassot à Paris, is illustrated and described in the Encyclopedie de La Pendule Francaise, by Pierre Kjellberg pp 390.
A closer version can be seen in "French Bronze Clocks" by Elke Niehusser pp178.

VIDEO: Little Known Facts About Daniel Arap Moi-Original Hustler
VIDEO: Little Known Facts About Daniel Arap Moi-Original Hustler
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!President Daniel arap Moi died on February 4, 2020, and so today marks the first anniversary since his death.
Moi who led Kenya from 1978 to 2002, was seen as both a unifying as well as a polarising figure especially by his critics who saw him as an authoritarian leader. Moi's allies, on the other hand, credited him for maintaining stability in his 24 year rule.
Mzee was praised for embracing peace during his tenure, and was lauded for ensuring a smooth transition of power after being trounced in by the opposition in 2002.
Thousands of Kenyans from all walks of life gave their final respects in person when the body of the late President was placed at the parliament buildings. Proof that he was still revered by a good number of Kenyans.
He earned the sobriquet "professor of politics" but economic stagnation and accusations of corruption tarnished his legacy. Still, Moi was loved.
"I remember Moi as a great leader who offered me a bursary to complete my studies in high school," a lady told the press after paying her final respects.
"We enjoyed [free] milk while in school. I will never forget him. He was a generous man," said another.
President Moi had his shortcomings, as most of the leaders in the country, however, he also had a side of him that endeared him to many.
In 2004, the ageing leader asked for forgiveness from "those he had wronged".
Here's a look at little known facts about the late President.
Original Hustler
Moi's early business ventures included; selling animal skins and paraffin and running a posho mill and a general store in his home village.
The enthusiastic teenager had lofty ambitions of making a name for himself from a very young age.
Young Prodigy
Moi became a teacher at the Government African School in 1945, advancing to headteacher the following year at the tender age of 22.
After two other moves, he returned to Kapsabet in 1954 as a headmaster, where he remained until 1957.
In March 1957, Moi was one of the first eight black people to be elected to the Legislative Council.
Early in 1960, he was one of the African delegates to the Lancaster House conference in London, which drafted a new Kenyan constitution granting black people a majority in the Legislative Council.
Ran 4 Ministries in 4 Years
In 1961, Moi became the Minister for Education and, in a coalition council of ministers, formed of the Kenya African Nationalist Union (KANU) and the Kenya African Democratic Union (KADU), he was also named Minister for Local Government.
When Kenya finally gained independence in December 1963 and Kenyatta became prime minister, Moi was designated Minister for Agriculture.
At the end of the following year, when Mzee Jomo Kenyatta became President, Moi was sworn in as Minister for Home Affairs.
Moi the Fashionista
Unknown to most, Moi was big on fashion. How he dressed was not left to chance as it needed to portray elegance.
All his well-cut bespoke suits and colourful ties were bought at Saville Row in Mayfair, London.
To his aides, he was a teacher of good grooming.
Those who worked under him say during his reign and even in retirement, Moi wore "simple, but classic clothes that depicted the status of a Head of State".
His suits were never complete without a fresh lapel flower. "The roses were part of his trademark, they put a fresh rose everyday and these flowers were picked every morning at the State House."
Citizen Number 1
In 2016, it emerged that Moi was the holder of ID number 1 in Kenya… quite literally.
The country was thrown into shock in 2017 when it emerged that Former Presidents Daniel Moi and Mwai Kibaki were blocked from voting in the General Election since their ID cards had been used to register other people.
Mwai Kibaki's ID number 0000002 – had been used to register 8 people namely Gitonga Wilson, Kanja Julius Ngede Kihinge, Evans Kariuki Kirinya, Victoria Gatwiri, Mu Ko Mugara, Duncan Muia, Mbinya Wanjiru, and Caroline Nduta.
On the other hand, Mr Moi's ID number 0000001 – had been used to register one Joseph Marrion Nchabani, indicated to have been born on January 1, 1968.
Moi the Bookworm
His top 3 books were: The Holy Bible. The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli and 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene.
"Mzee Moi loved the church and he loved the Bible. He loved reading the Bible and as a result of this he instructed me to give his children, each a Bible during his funeral and that is what we will do,
"He also left specific words for me to read to his children and I will do that as we hand over the Bibles," Retired Bishop Silas Yego revealed during the late President's funeral.

[FMM1_NEIGO] This protein is the predominant Neisseria surface antigen, which allows adhesion of the bacterium to various host cells.
Checkto colour the structure by Evolutionary Conservation, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf.
Type IV pili (T4P) are long, thin, flexible filaments on bacteria that undergo assembly-disassembly from inner membrane pilin subunits and exhibit astonishing multifunctionality. Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonococcal or GC) T4P are prototypic virulence factors and immune targets for increasingly antibiotic-resistant human pathogens, yet detailed structures are unavailable for any T4P. Here, we determined a detailed experimental GC-T4P structure by quantitative fitting of a 2.3 A full-length pilin crystal structure into a 12.5 A resolution native GC-T4P reconstruction solved by cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM) and iterative helical real space reconstruction. Spiraling three-helix bundles form the filament core, anchor the globular heads, and provide strength and flexibility. Protruding hypervariable loops and posttranslational modifications in the globular head shield conserved functional residues in pronounced grooves, creating a surprisingly corrugated pilus surface. These results clarify T4P multifunctionality and assembly-disassembly while suggesting unified assembly mechanisms for T4P, archaeal flagella, and type II secretion system filaments.
