umount (unmount file systems)
This command is used to unmount file systems such as disk partitions. Note that there is no "n" in umount. The program is called like this:
umount DEVICE_OR_DIR
You can specify the device to be unmounted (e.g. /dev/sda1) or its mount point (e.g. /media/data). Unmounting a removable file system such as a USB flash drive partition can take a long time. This is because Linux does not always transfer files to external media immediately. The files may enter a write buffer and sit there until Linux decides to copy them to the target device in one fell swoop.
When a file system is unmounted, Linux calls the sync command, which flushes all write buffers, commiting any changes to disk. You can run sync yourself, but you don't have to because umount does this automatically. When you're working with large files on a foreign system, you may want to run sync manually to ensure that your changes are committed to disk immediately.
Linux beginners often find themselves confronted with the following error:
Unmount failed: Cannot unmount because
file system on device is busy
You get this message when you try to unmount a device that is still in use. Sometimes it is far from obvious who is still using the device. For example, a file manager window may be showing the contents of a directory on the device. This can be enough for a call to umount to fail. Use the command lsof ("list open files") to find out which processes are using files on your target device. For example:
lsof /dev/sdb1
This will list any processes that are using files on the partition /dev/sdb1. After terminating the processes, you will be able to unmount the device without errors.

One third of those killed in Yemen by US drone strikes in 2018 were civilians, according to a report by the Associated Press.
The US has been conducting a drone war in Yemen for 16 years in declared attempts to suppress al-Qaeda in the country. This has, however, led to a high number of civilian casualties.
There is also no comprehensive count of civilian deaths, because there is difficulty in confirming the identities and allegiances of the killed individuals. The Associated Press claimed that it found out that at least 30 of the dead were not linked to al-Qaeda in 2018. That is one third of all deaths by US drone strike in 2018 in Yemen.
"The Pentagon does not release its assessment of the death toll, but an independent database considered one of the most credible in tracking violence in Yemen counted 88 people — militants and non-militants — killed by drones this year."
This gives an impression of how often civilians are hit by drone strikes. This is even more significant since the Trump administration came into power. In the last two years the US has dramatically increased its use of armed drones.
"It has carried out 176 strikes during its nearly two years in office, compared to the 154 strikes during the entire eight years of the Obama administration, according to a count by the AP and the Bureau of Investigative Journalism.
The AP based its count on interviews with witnesses, families, tribal leaders and activists. Most of those killed, 24, were civilians; at least 6 others were fighters in pro-government forces — meaning ostensibly on the same side as the U.S. — who were hit in strikes away from the front lines while engaged in civilian life."
This has gone almost unnoticed in the region's conflicts. After all, the Saudi-led intervention in Yemen has been much more destructive and has received much less condemnation than the killing of one man – Jamal Khashoggi. To provide a sense of perspective: some estimates claim that more than 57,000 civilians and fighters have been killed in the war.
To compare, only around 1,000 individuals both militants and civilians have been killed in drone strikes by the US. The Bureau for Investigative Journalism counted up to 1,020 killed by strikes from 2009 to 2016, under President Barack Obama, compared to up to 205 killed in 2017 and 2018. However, the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project, counted 331 killed the past two years. Thus, there is uncertainty in the exact number of deaths.
AP further reported that it is difficult to track the civilian casualties since there are numerous militias operating in Yemen. Furthermore, "Al-Qaeda has joined the battle against the Houthis, and many of its fighters are incorporated into militias armed and funded by the US-backed coalition."
There have been successes, reportedly in 2015 US drone strikes took out Nasser al-Wahishi, the top leader of al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and several lieutenants.
However, the hunt for al-Qaeda commanders has resulted in the deaths of many civilians.
"For example, the US has killed at least 66 civilians, 31 of them children, in the unsuccessful hunt for one man, Qassim al-Rimi, one of AQAP's founders who in 2015 succeeded al-Wahishi as the group's chief."
Furthermore, the deaths of civilians or otherwise come from a great distance.
"Drone pilots work remotely at American bases, most often in the U.S., sometimes on 11- to 14-hour shifts housed in rooms like shipping containers lined with electronics. They operate based on intelligence from informants but they also carry out so-called "signature strikes," based on observing suspicious patterns of behavior."
AP cited an anonymous former participant in the drone program who claimed that pilots are trained to look for a specific list of characteristics and target subjects who show a number of them. All of this shown on grainy, low quality footage.
An AP report published in August found that the U.S.-backed coalition paid large sums to al Qaeda commanders in exchange for their leaving key locations throughout coalition-controlled Yemen, while also allowing the terror group's forces to retreat with all of their weapons, cash and supplies and without fear of reprisal.
Even when the Saudi-backed government of Yemen sent al Qaeda members to represent it in peace talks held in Geneva, the U.S. continued to give its full backing to the Saudi-led coalition.
As a result of the US "War on Terror" in Yemen, AQAP, which was once called "the most dangerous regional node in the global jihad" by the CIA — has "become stronger than at any time since it first emerged almost 20 years ago."
The only beneficiary from the US "anti-terrorism" efforts in Yemen are AQAP and the Saudi-backed coalition, the ones to suffer are the civilians.

(As a supplement to Short-Schrift's list of links, let me add Farhad Manjoo on Salon and an update on the NYT's Bits blog.)
The first paragraph of Steven Levy's article in Newsweek echoes the argument that I tried to advance in response to the Sony Reader:
"Technology," computer pioneer Alan Kay once said, "is anything that was invented after you were born." So it's not surprising, when making mental lists of the most whiz-bangy technological creations in our lives, that we may overlook an object that is superbly designed, wickedly functional, infinitely useful and beloved more passionately than any gadget in a Best Buy: the book. It is a more reliable storage device than a hard disk drive, and it sports a killer user interface. (No instruction manual or "For Dummies" guide needed.) And, it is instant-on and requires no batteries. Many people think it is so perfect an invention that it can't be improved upon, and react with indignation at any implication to the contrary.
It may not come as a surprise that since I've entered the e-book business, I've softened my hard line stance against e-readers a bit. A bit. Still, Kindle is expensive. At $399 for the hardware, and $10 per title (for frontlist titles, many backlist titles appear to be available between $1 and $2), you have to buy 27 frontlist books to justify the purchase price of a Kindle, and if you're a mass market paperback reader, you don't catch up until the 67th book. In either case, I'd like to suggest that's two to three years worth of reading, at which time a new, cheaper, better Kindle will likely be available.
Most electronic gadgets overcome this early-adapter penalty through a certain coolness factor, and while the Kindle aims in that direction, I don't think it's there yet. A text search function like Kindle's certainly has the potential to make up for the inability to place my own markers in the text, but there's something strangely authoritarian about the way that the Kindle deals with text formatting and display.
I was really excited when I stumbled across the Digital Text Platform at Amazon—a setup for writers to make their own work available for sale as e-books. If you buy the argument that the Kindle's real innovation isn't the device itself, it's the wireless delivery system (and I do buy that argument—the Kindle as a whole is an improvement over the Sony Reader, but considering the additional time they've had for development it's a disappointment that the e-paper itself is basically the same), then opening up access to the e-book format and a listing on Amazon to individual authors and indie publishers would be the single biggest push that a Book 2.0 format could get. Amazingly, however, Kindle seems to be using HTML as its basic delivery language. (Check out the formatting quickstart guide here, and the all-but-condescending tone of the formatting FAQ here, or the blink-and-you'll-miss-it mention in Levy's article that Kindle only supports one font.)
At first blush, something like the Kindle would seem to be the perfect delivery system for Revelator's titles, which, while beautiful as PDFs, are not entirely at home either on a computer screen or on an 8.5 x 11" piece of paper. We could probably even make the prose work, but the poetry would be a problem. Resizable text in Kindle is great, but it requires that the text be wrappable, which means giving up control of the line. PDFs may be clunky, but until e-paper catches up with the PDF's ability to play with font, line, and color, I don't think that an e-book reader will really be able to place itself as a killer app, especially since, as Short-Scrift points out, the iPhone and tablet PCs are already converging on what I think the ideal e-book reader would look like.
Addendum, 3:56p.m. I had meant in my original post to comment on the name Amazon's chosen for their e-book reader. Amazon claims that that the Kindle was "named to evoke the crackling ignition of knowledge," but I can't help but pick up Fahrenheit 451 overtones. I'm not trying to says that Jeff Bezos is the kind of guy who would burn the Library of Alexandria. (Levy's article actually makes him out to be something of a bibliophile.) I do think, however, that the choice of name for the device is not only awkward, but unfortunate.
Update, 11/28 Salon's Farhad Manjoo discusses the Kindle in depth. His math is a bit different than mine, but he still thinks that the Kindle is way too expensive.

Before the introduction if the "Tiffany setting" in 1886, engagement ring diamonds did not shine in their fullest beauty. Only the crown of the diamond was visible, not like in today's Tiffany's design where the diamond is only hold by small claws in order to make it as visible as possible and making it the main attraction on a person's finger.
Tiffany's new design (Tiffany setting) was highly successful. As a result, the term is now used as colloquial throughout the jewelry industry, just like Post-its or Rollerblades. So Tiffany created a term not only used in its own brand universe but in any kind of luxury jewelry universe.
Not only created Tiffany a new term but also a big hype, as the "Tiffany setting" happens to be today's most sought-after engagement ring style, sometimes even called "the most brilliant ring ever". Prices depend on the size of the diamond and rise from $11,000 to $565,000.

Nicolas Lodeiro scores late goal as Sounders tie Earthquakes
Sat., Sept. 10, 2016
SAN JOSE, Calif. – Nicolas Lodeiro scored in the 80th minute and the Seattle Sounders rallied to tie the San Jose Earthquakes 1-1 on Saturday night.
The Sounders (9-13-5) bounced back after having their five-game undefeated streak snapped at Portland on Aug. 28, while the Earthquakes (7-8-12) are winless in four straight.
Lodeiro, who transferred from Argentina's Boca Juniors and signed with Seattle in July, scored off a free kick for his third goal of the season.
In the first half, San Jose's Jordan Stewart crossed to Chris Wondolowski, who scored an easy tap-in in front of the goal in the 20th minute. The Sounders midfielder Osvaldo Alonso used a bicycle kick at the goal line to clear Stewart's header attempt in the seventh minute, and goalkeeper Stefan Frei made a diving save of Wondolowski's right-footed shot from outside the 6-yard box in the 40th minute.
Darwin Ceren crossed to Wondolowski in the third minute of second-half stoppage time, but his header was too high.

University photographers from across the country came together in Nashville, Tennessee for the the UPAA's 2016 Symposium, and in the midst of listening to an impressive roster of speakers, shooting photos of Music City and swapping tips and stories, they took a moment to give back to the community through a special day of Help-Portraits for military families.
Help-Portrait is a nonprofit founded by celebrity photographer Jeremy Cowart and Kyle Chowning. Here's how it works.
Step 1: Find someone in need.
For UPAA, working with military families was a clear choice because Austin Peay State University, the host of UPAA's 2016 Symposium, is a short drive away from Fort Campbell. The university photographers also teamed up with Stacy Pearsall, who founded the Veterans Portrait Project to honor and thank veterans through photography.
Step 2: Take their portrait.
Next, the photographers at UPAA's 2016 Symposium spent a day doing what they do best – shooting photos and capturing special moments. They got to use new equipment provided by sponsors like Nikon and Canon in six different portrait studios.
"It was an amazing opportunity for everyone – photographers to sponsors to clients," says Glenn Carpenter, photographer and imaging specialist for Moraine Valley Community College and UPAA President. "Without our sponsors this would not have been possible, they provided us with the tools to give back to a group of people who deserve so much more. A special thanks need to go to Austin Peay for allowing us to us the space and providing the technology to make this happen."
Step 3: Print their portrait.
Next, the families got to review their portraits and choose their favorites. Glenn explains that this process gave the UPAA members a chance to practice innovative workflows.
"We used PhotoShelter's FTP upload option, which allows a photographer to concentrate on creating images while the camera sends images to PhotoShelter," says Glenn, who uses this technique to publish photos quickly to social media with his team at Moraine Valley. "Each of the six studios would send to a specific PhotoShelter gallery where an image tech would would work with the client to select and print and image. This workflow can be duplicated at their schools to move images to the web and social very quickly."
Next, they printed the photos – check out the look of anticipation on those faces!
Step 4: Deliver the portrait (and a whole lot more), free of charge.
Finally, they gave the families a portrait – a keepsake to take with them wherever they go. And in the process, UPAA gave these families a memorable day of photos and smiles. Take a look at this video produced by Baylor University's Matt Forer, and be sure to note how many smiles you see in the behind the scenes, not just in the portraits.
The Takeaway
The portrait event was a great way for UPAA members to work together on a photo project, share ideas and workflows and test out new equipment, all while doing something wonderful for veterans, active duty service members and military families. As Glenn explains, it was a day that everyone will remember and be able to take with them when they go home to their schools.
"Our hope is this experience will spark new ideas for our members," says Glenn.

Hello, this upload Manors Car Park, is an architectural one! Strange, as all I've seemed to shoot recently are people pictures! Well there's a reason for this, well sort of! I was shortlisted to apply for a really good opportunity to create some images (sorry can't mention who the company is, or what they do!) but I couldn't resist continuing on with the project. As I've had the pleasure of "crossing swords" with this car park before. Quite a while ago, I created some 180 degree rotatonal panoramics as backgrounds for a job which didn't go ahead! Hang on, maybe the car park's jinxed, looks like I'm not having much luck with this subject! But I hope you like them and I might just keep going with this one, as you never know, it could be a casualty of regeneration!
Oh and I nearly forgot "shot of the month" is another image from this project, you can check it out on the Facebook page, or send me your email and I'll put you on the list!
For all the gear heads- Nikon D800e, 24/45/85 PCE lenses, Z size grads, Giotto tripod with Manfrotto geared head, 2X Hi-vis vests.

Soon after the merger with Idea Cellular, Vodafone has been going all out in full throttle mode to introduce new prepaid plans and also revise some existing plans. The telco recently introduced Rs 24 minimum prepaid recharge plan for users who just want to extend their validity by 28 days. Now, the company has announced one more plan priced at Rs 154 with long validity of 6 months.

Local and outgoing calls to Vodafone (outside free night calling), calls to other operators and STD calling will be charged at 2.5 paise per second. Data download will be charged at 4 paise per 10KB in home (Rs 4 per MB), and 10 paise per 10KB in roaming (Rs 10 per MB). Lastly, local SMS will be charged at Re 1 per message, and national SMS at Rs 1.5 per message.
Vodafone also recently announced Rs 479 prepaid plan with 84 days validity, unlimited local and national calling, unlimited roaming and 100 local and national SMS daily. The plan also includes 1.6GB daily data benefit at 2G / 3G and 4G speeds, meaning users can download up to 134.4GB data during the entire validity period.
The Rs 24 prepaid plan, on the other hand, is available for both, Vodafone and Idea Cellular users. It is an open market plan available for all prepaid subscribers, across all Vodafone and Idea circles. Vodafone Idea has included 100 on-net night calling minutes valid between 11:00PM and 6:00AM. Data usage charges remain the same as the Rs 154 prepaid plan.

When you think of rolls, you probably think of the white flour rolls that aren't all that great for you. Did you know that you can enjoy rolls that are delicious, filling and healthy? I always feel terrific when I eat seeds, and caraway seeds are some of my favorites! When I was in chef school, my instructor, Voila, spent many hours teaching us the many benefits of seeds, including why the flavor of caraway seeds has a cleansing appeal. My latest grain free caraway rolls will not only appease your appetite but they will also be doing many beneficial things to your own body! Caraway is best known as the crunchy seeds topping many rye breads, which I am unable to eat due to being celiac, but I do love a gluten free rye bread slice now and then, and this recipe satisfies that craving anyhow and this one is grain-free!
Caraway is one of the best herbs to prevent gas and bloating, and is a terrific solution for colds and congestion. Caraway seeds are also used in many medicinal preparations for treating rheumatism, eye infections and toothaches. Caraway seed oil treats fungus infections, and surprising to me is that its effective against candida infections. One can use caraway in combination with peppermint oil to relieve symptoms of IBS and indigestion.
Caraway seeds are a great addition to any active lifestyle and is perfect for clean eating, although I must make note if one has a kidney problem you must be careful with caraway. One can prepare caraway seed tea, or tinctures and the seeds can be eaten as a snack or sprinkled on baked goods like my paleo friendly caraway rolls. Feel free to make these caraway rolls as an appetizer to share with the family and be sure to let me know your thoughts!

Do they invest more in cryptocurrencies?
Yonhap, South Korean news agency, disclosed that according to recent survey that people in their 20s are the best bet to be the most active in cryptocurrency investment. Although this is not surprising since more and more millennials and the younger generations from around the globe adopts the growing change in this new market instead of the traditional stocks and bonds.
But are you all more amazed to learn that older Koreans are more contentious in investing in cryptocurrency? 60-year-olds more than any age demographic were the ones who invested a large sum of money in cryptocurrencies with an average amount of 6.58 million won.
In this new age, it is most likely the younger half of the generation are associated with
Ages between 20 to 50-year olds have invested in cryptocurrencies as follows:
60-year-olds – 6.58 million won ($6,119)
50-year-olds – 6.28 million won ($5,840)
40-year-olds – 3.99 million won ($3,750)
30-year-olds – 3.73 million won ($3,710)
20-year-olds – 29.3 million won ($2,724)
Altogether, 34.1% was bought to pay for goods and services and 70.2% invested through cryptocurrencies.
Back in the 1990s, a typical 35-year-old would invest in real estate, bonds or purchasing retirement programs. But presently a paradigm shift of a millennial mentality shows a different approach towards investments and would rather put more money on decentralized future – buying digital coins or contributory to ICOs.
Kwon Soon-chae, an analyst at Korea Financial Investors Protection Foundation, is worried that older investors don't really fully comprehend what they are getting themselves into.
As observed that the hype surrounding cryptocurrency has cooled off after the unprecedented bull run that took place last year.
Even so, South Korea still is one of the world's biggest leading markets of cryptocurrencies, just behind Japan and the United States in terms of Bitcoin transactions.
It's still interesting to know which age demographic will prevail and keep up with our evolving investment schemes. One way or another the question is still left to be answered. For those who invested in this volatile digital currency, will everyone get hilariously rich or not?

|Convener: Steffen A. Schweizer | Co-Conveners: Chloe Hill , Taru Sandén , Christian Schneider
Wed, 11 Apr, 13:30–15:00 / Room -2.31
After a basic introduction into the SDG framework, the keynote talks held by Saskia Keestra, Luca Montanarella, and Herwig Ranner will highlight the diverse perspectives within the SDG framework and the interplay of actors from both scientific and policy fields. In an open discussion, the keynote speakers and audience will discuss how the SDGs can be a framework for scientists, which burning research needs are missing, and how SDG15 should be revised. This will include possibilities for how to get scientifically involved together with career opportunities, especially for early career scientists. During the discussion the expertise of the audience will be crowdsourced in an exercise on how to get involved and integrate your research ideas into policy-making decisions.

Despite the potential benefits it can afford to people deeply in debt, many in California seek to avoid filing for bankruptcy. Depending on the type of bankruptcy you file, it may involve selling off some of your assets, in a process called liquidation, in order to satisfy your debt. According to Cornell Law School, when a debtor filing for bankruptcy seeks to conceal or misrepresent the assets that he or she has in order to prevent their liquidation, he or she commits bankruptcy fraud.
What is bankruptcy fraud?
California crime trend statistics
To understand the criminal justice system in California, it is important to know more about criminal offenses. In particular, it will help to assess the trends regarding illegal activity in the Golden State.
More common tax myths you should know about
We discussed several tax myths in this blog last year. Now that tax time is here again, it's time to revisit some of the common myths surrounding taxes in the United States. At the law office of Ron Cordova Attorney-at-Law, we understand the desire to limit your tax burden. However, when you and other California residents are too quick to believe some of the falsehoods about taxes currently going around, you may face serious penalties.
Reviewing the different forms of phishing
Phishing typically ranks among the most common forms of internet crimes. Yet the general definition of a phishing scheme is often so vague that it can be difficult identifying cases where it has actually happened. Indeed, many come to our team here at Ron Cordova Attorney at Law after having been accused of phishing unaware that they have been doing anything wrong. If someone in Irvine has accused you of running a phishing scam, knowing what types of phishing scams have been identified can help you answer those accusations.
RICO cases see increase in 2018
To many people in California, it may seem that there has been an increase in the number of white collar criminal cases across the nation. Certainly, there have been numerous high-profile cases that have played out across a variety of venues in the last few years. However, it is important to take a look at the nature of some of these cases to get the full picture of what might be happening.
What is money laundering?
Money laundering is the crime of receiving money through illegal activity, hiding it and then using it through legitimate channels. If you have ever watched a mob movie, you have probably seen something about this process.

OSWEGO, NY – Students from the Oswego High School WBUC communications program recently participated in the Panic Film Festival sponsored by the SUNY Oswego Film Club.
Two teams represented WBUC.
The students had 48 hours to plan, shoot and edit their video and put it on DVD.
According to Steve Cass and Mike McCrobie, WBUC advisors, "This competition was a neat process to watch, to see it from the beginning stages when they were planning everything out, to what they had on DVD to turn in for the competition."
The students were excited about this opportunity and will be entering more festivals in the future.

A Maine couple named Charlie and Steph Black are pushing back against neighbors who claim the "Thin Blue Line" American flag they flew outside their home to honor Charlie's late father — an officer killed on duty — is racist.
"This is not a racist white supremacist symbol, and I'm angry it's portrayed that way," Charlie told local station News Center Maine. His father, Maine State Trooper Charles Black, was shot and killed responding to a bank robbery on July 9, 1964 — leaving behind his wife Mary Andrews Black, who was pregnant with Charlie, and two additional sons.
"That was a really tough time for my family," Charlie, who was born three weeks after his father's death, said. "The family changes forever." Now, 55 years after his passing, Charlie says hanging the flag on a telephone pole outside their residence is a way to honor him. "It not only represents our family's loss, but it represents all officers lost," Charlie added.
According to a spokesperson from Thin Blue Line USA, the flag is meant to "show support for the men and women who put their lives on the line every day to protect us," with the blue line symbolizing how the police serve as a barrier between "crime, anarchy, and chaos." The stars, reads a page on the company's website, symbolize the "citizens who benefit from the sacrifice of our heroes on the line made to protect them."
Not everyone agrees that's the message it conveys — particularly after it was carried by white supremacists in the deadly 2017 Charlottesville, Va. protests. As a result of that, many consider it to be a symbol of the Blue Lives Matter movement, a counter to the Black Lives Matter group in support of police officers.
At "Unite the Right," they're flying Blue Lives Matter flags along with Confederate Flags and Vanguard America flags. pic.twitter.com/yQ9Li9wkLp— Jack Smith IV (@JackSmithIV) August 12, 2017
For this reason, several concerned York residents filed complaints with York Town Manager Stephen Burns and local advocacy group York Diversity Forum.
"A resident came in and said there's a problem. This is a flag that represents segregation and discrimination," York Town Manager Steve Burns told News Center Maine. After local publications picked up on the controversy, the entire local community was divided over whether the flag was commemorative or offensive.
"The blue line flag is used as a racist response to Black Lives Matter," one resident commented on Facebook. Other users argued that the flag had simply gotten conflated in a larger political dispute over police brutality when it was simply intended to honor "our fallen heroes in blue."
"I'm super goddamn liberal, and even I see that this flag is intended only to honor a fallen police officer," one Facebook user commented.
Much to the dismay of the entire Black family, the public pressure to remove the offensive flag proved to be too much, and they took down the flag from the telephone pole on July 22, local paper York Weekly reported. Yahoo Lifestyle was unable to get in contact with any of the Black family.
"God forbid we should offend anyone," Mary Andrews, a former York town public official, told York Weekly. "It bothers me tremendously. It's the anniversary of his death. He gave his life to protect the public, and I gave my life to this town, and we can't even celebrate this person. I'm sorry I offended them. It's coming down and it won't happen again."
While both Burns and members of the York Diversity Forum say they personally never asked for the flag to be removed, they say they empathize with the Black family. Yahoo Lifestyle's attempts to reach members of the York Diversity Forum and Stephen Burns were not immediately returned.
"I don't know what the right outcome is," Burns told York Weekly. "This family was putting up the flag in memory of Mary's husband. She's feeling hurt right now. I also don't want some visitor to think it's a racist flag. So I'm glad it's down. I don't want the community festering over this."
While it was a difficult decision to ask the Black family to surrender their flag, York Diversity Forum board members said they simply hoped to educate community members that the Thin Blue Line flag means different things to different people.
"The flag has been used by people who are racist," Chair Susan Kepner told News Center Maine. "What we're about is bringing things forward that are of concern and trying to educate people in a forum, where you can hear both sides and create understanding by understanding both sides."
While the Thin Blue Line American flag has become inextricably bound to the controversial Blue Lives Matter counter-movement, a spokesperson from Thin Blue Line USA says that the company has not and never will be involved with their contentious political credo.
"We really steer away from the negative political message out there and choose not to have a conversation in that," a Thin Blue Line USA spokesperson tells Yahoo Lifestyle. "We talk about the positive things that our officers are doing everyday when they put on their uniforms, serve their community, and are willing to stand between us and a bullet across the nation — that's what the Thin Blue Line flag stands for."
Although the Thin Blue Line Flag cannot be seen outside their residence, Steph and Charlie have instead defiantly decided to still fly the Thin Blue Line American flag outside their front porch to stand in solidarity with all police officers and their loved ones, News Center Maine reported.
"This is what we do, and we're not going to let it be taken away from us," Charlie said.

We carry an array of silver and gold bars and rounds in various sizes and weights to accommodate collectors and investors with any budget.
Bullion coins describe contemporary precious metal coins minted by official agencies for investment purposes. Historically, most currency were in the form of bullion coins, silver and gold being the most common metals. Some bullion coins have been used as currency throughout the 20th century, like the Maria Theresa thaler and the Krugerrand. However, modern bullion coins generally do not enter common circulation despite having legal tender status and a nominal face value. Some modern bullion coins, such as the gold and silver American eagle, are produced as both business strike and collectible proof and uncirculated versions. Business strikes typically are sold at prices commensurate with their precious metal content, whereas collectible versions are sold at a significant premium over their actual bullion value. In some cases, the grade and mintages of business strike coins can affect their value, so they are considered numismatic rather than bullion items.
Please visit out Vault to see all of the various gold and silver bullion that we have in stock. If you are looking for a certain type or denomination that we don't currently have in stock, please let us know and we will make every effort to find it for you!

Thyroid hormones and female hormones both influence one another. Today I speak with Jennie, a current patient, regarding how we improved her thyroid health and female hormones. We did so without breaking the bank and without resorting to a excessive diet or supplement program. Simple dietary changes, support for her hormones, and improving the health of her gut yielded great results. Her cravings improved, hot flashes went away, thyroid autoimmunity improved, and her energy increased.

Hypothyroid and Menopause Success
Dr. Michael Ruscio:
Hi, this is Dr. Ruscio. I'm here with Jennie, who has had some good results here in the clinic. And I asked Jennie and kind of twisted her arm a little bit to sit down with me for a minute and kind of go through the improvement that she's seen. And I'm wondering, would you mind just sharing with everyone?
Jennie: No, I would love to.
DrMR: Okay.
Jennie: Well, since I started working with Dr. Ruscio about…I guess it was in May, so about five or six months ago now, I came in with hypothyroid symptoms and high numbers. And since being put on the regimen to clean that up and take down the inflammation, my numbers are back down where they should be. And I've had some improvements with the types of behaviors I have and symptoms that are now gone.
DrMR: And one of the things you had mentioned that you just said, the thyroid was looking better. And another thing you had mentioned before we turned the camera on was your sugar cravings were a lot better.
Jennie: Yeah. The dietary regimen of pacing how I eat during the day, every few hours, what I ate, how I prepared the food, what I eliminated, have now sort of…I'm still practicing it even though we're past the hump.
DrMR: Constant practice, yeah.
Jennie: Yeah. It's not 100 percent. But it's very practiceable and doable. So I'm noticing I'm not craving sugars. Or let's say the sugar level is now even. So I'm not really craving foods and snacking and eating inappropriate times.
DrMR: Sure, sure. And then another thing that you've noticed that I thought was a nice clinical win for us was the hot flashes have gotten a lot better, too.
Jennie: Right, right. Yeah, because I'm smack in the middle—I should be over—with the menopause. But I guess I'm not. But, yeah, I haven't had as many hot flashes. There have been times when I may have run low on my medication and not had it, that he had prescribed for me or given to me. And I would have hot flashes.
So when I go back on the medication again, or the supplements again, then I don't have the hot flashes. So it's been a good test to run out periodically.
DrMR: Sure. Sure. So a few things with Jennie that were going on, Jennie's conversion of T4 to T3 was a little bit off. And that's where giving her some T3 is very helpful. And we did a low dose of bioidentical HRT for her female hormones, which can be very helpful and help with the hot flashes. And Jennie's adrenals were a little bit out of balance. And supporting the adrenals really helps with energy, which is another thing that has improved, but also with sugar cravings and satiation.
And another thing, I remember two things that were really tied into this whole piece for her gut, which getting her off gluten and some of these other foods were helpful, and then also clearing out an overgrowth of H. pylori, or I guess you could say an H. pylori infection, helped stop some of this low-level inflammation that was kind of just draining her body.
So overall you've done great. I think we still have a few more little steps before we're 100 percent. But you've done great so far. And thank you so much for taking a minute to talk with us.
Jennie: Thank you.

Eugene T. Gendlin Center for Research
in Experiential Philosophy and Psychology
An Initiative of the International Focusing Institute
August 2018: Announcement
Gendlin Grant for Original Research in Psychology
Award Year: 2019
Award Amount: Total award(s) up to $5,000
February, 2018: An introduction to the Gendlin Center by Kevin Krycka,
the Chair of the first Steering Committee
On May 10, 2017, just a short while after Gene's death, the Board of the Institute passed a resolution to create a new research center at the Institute in Gene's honor: The Eugene T. Gendlin Center for Research in Experiential Philosophy and Psychology. At that meeting, the Board asked Executive Director Catherine Torpey to convene a group of academics, as the resolution states, who are "versed in Gene's thought to move the idea forward."
Catherine drew together five of us from across the globe to be the first Steering Committee of the Gendlin Center. We are:
- Kevin C Krycka, Chair, Professor of Psychology at Seattle University, USA
- Akira Ikemi, Professor of Psychotherapy, Kansai University, Japan
- Mary Jeanne Larrabee, Professor of Philosophy, DePaul University, USA
- Rob Parker, Private Practice, White Plains, USA
It has been seven months since that resolution was passed and I am writing now to give you a quick update on what we have been up to. First, we meet monthly. At this point our time has been spent on developing a mission statement and further defining the ways in which the Gendlin Center and the Institute can promote Gene's philosophy and psychology. Our second major activity has been to create The Gendlin Prize; one in the area of philosophy and another in psychology. Right now, two subgroups of the Steering Committee are working hard to define the focus of the prizes. We hope to be able to announce more details about the Prizes very soon, along with the scope of each, criteria for application, award amount, and timeline (update: the psychology grant has been announced -- see above or click here to learn more). Thirdly, we are just now beginning to think of how we can present the Gendlin Center and its future works on social media, the web, etc. Finally, we are co-sponsoring with Seattle University, a fall 2-day symposium entitled, "Saying What We Mean." The exact dates and costs are being confirmed, but most likely, this meeting will be sometime in October, 2018.

There were some major changes in the Superman line in 1970, although that was barely reflected in Action Comics. On the whole, this book simply saw an absence of the usual villains, but otherwise little change. Leo Dorfman and Curt Swan were joined by Murphy Anderson on the inks, though, which makes these stories visually exeptional.
The first of the two stories in this issue sees Superman take Jimmy to his Fortress of Solitude. Jimmy discovers a room that Superman has forbidden him entrance to.
The room contains the robes of a woman called Althera, whose story comprises the rest of this tale.
Early in his career, Superman encountered an alien matriarchal race. They use their advanced technology to enslave others, which puts Superman on the opposing side.
A romance almost blooms between Superman and their leader, Althera. She believes that they come from the same race, but she is wrong. Her people evolved from birds, and there is no chance of Superman being able to pass on his power of flight to them.
And apparently he spent years being upset about this. So much so that he kept her dress. Umm. Ok.
The back-up story, by the same creative team, is not much better. Superman has his fortune told, and is given a card for three wishes.
Superman finds his powers disappearing at inconvenient times, but wishing on the card restores them.
Absurdly, this is all a ruse by Supergirl, who wanted to see if Superman could be hypnotized into acting against his will. You likely think I am leaving a lot out in my summary, as it makes little sense. I'm not, not really. The only thing that makes this issue worthwhile is the art, not the stories.

MADISON, Wis. (10/15/15)--Competitions such as savings challenges can be valuable in communicating how credit unions help members move beyond financial education to financial capability, according to a new research paper from the Filene Research Institute.
Savings challenges, which usually include social media and traditional media promotion, encourage financial goal setting and establish a framework of friendly competition to see which consumers come closest to their goals.
The report highlights the plight of the average consumer featured in a savings challenge. Most share the same characteristic:
Credit unions can help members overcome these hurdles; however they must clearly convey these benefits to members. Among the recommendations the paper makes:

Tier-1 Visa Requirements
This post highlights a sample inquiry relating to Tier-1 Visa Requirements.
The enquirer wrote:
"I am Muhammad Ahmed Ali and want to apply for UK- Tier-1 Entrepreneur Visa. I want to know the complete details relating to Tier-1 Visa Requirements, procedure, eligibility criteria, and processing time. Kindly provide me full details regarding it."
In reply to the enquiry, our Barrister Sheryar, Senior Legal Adviser, Farani Javid Taylor Solicitors LLP London, advised:
"Thank you for your email. Our Karachi Office has referred it to me. The tier 1 entrepreneur category is meant to be a points based application but unfortunately it isn't really assessed as one and there are a lot of subjective elements to it like your own personal academic background, experience, business plan so on.
In simple words and as a starting point you should have £ 200,000 available to you to invest in the UK. However, the investment doesn't permit investment in real estate.
Let me know if you have these funds available to you and I can then guide you on further requirements and our fee for these applications.
In the meantime, you can read the Tier-1 Entrepreneur Guidance which explains the basic and detailed criteria relating to the objective criteria: Entrepreneurial Funds, Letter from the Regulated Financial Institutions, Third Party Funding, Entrepreneurial Teams, Maintenance Funds, English Language requirements, initial application, extension and indefinite status.
Moreover, it will also guide you regarding the immigration of your dependant spouse and dependant children under Tier-1 Entrepreneur.
I think it is a better idea that you should go through the Tier-1 Entrepreneur Guidance in details so as to know the Tier-1 Visa Requirements. Please note that it is up to an applicant to fulfill the Tier-1 Visa Requirements; however, we can guide an applicant in the light of the Tier-1 Policy, Procedure and Guidance.
Thanks for your inquiry."

India's leading women's tennis player, Sania Mirza believes that the Mahesh Bhupathi-founded International Premier Tennis League (IPTL) is playing a huge role in promoting tennis in the country. The US Open mixed doubles champion who is a part of the winning Micromax Indian Aces team spoke glowingly about the benefits of IPTL.
Federer-Djokovic clash will inspire Indian kids
The 28-year-old is confident that seeing legends like Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic play at New Delhi will inspire many kids to take up racquets, Mirza insisted in a recent interview released by the IPTL website.
"For me, to see Roger play Novak in India would not have happened if this competition was not there. People need to understand how important this is." she said.
Delhi atmosphere was electric
Sania talked about the amazing atmosphere at the Indira Gandhi Indoor Stadium for the Federer v Djokovic clash.
"To see Roger and Novak play the way they did in Delhi, one full intense set was unbelievable. We had 15,000 people there and the energy was electric that evening." Sania felt.
Inspiration from Top Tennis Stars
The doubles World No. 6 hopes that the influx of so many top-20 players will spread the popularity of the game further. If the IPTL continues every year, Sania is certain that this experience will lead to many more players emerging from India.
"It's really good for tennis, good for Asia and good for India. In fact, to see so many top 20 men and women's players right there under one roof in India over 3 days was unbelievable, and if it's going to happen every year, it's going to be amazing and hopefully this experience will lead to more players coming from this part of the world as well," Sania Mirza hoped.
