Why you can trust TechRadar
Lenovo is back in the Android tablet market with two new slates: the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 and the Yoga Tablet 8. In this review, we're going to take a look at the 10-inch version and see how it stacks up to the competition, like the iPad Air.
The first thing you'll notice about the Yoga Tablet 10 is that it's a 16:10 ratio display tablet, and that it's not completely flat, either.
The round, bulky edge gives the tablet a stand to prop itself up, which is nice to have if you're watching videos or reading content while at a desk or table.
While it's a beautiful tablet, we're going to cut right to the chase with what we don't like here: the user interface and the display.
If you didn't work out the math, a 1280 x 800 display across 10 inches gives you density of roughly 151 PPI. That's 151 pixels per inch. By comparison, the iPad Air has 264 PPI and the LG G Pad 8 has 278 PPI.
In other words, if you're used to HD displays on your smartphones and other tablets you might have owned or currently owned, the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 is going to look shockingly bad.
However, if you're viewing it from a distance far enough, it's not terrible, but we still noticed that it wasn't nearly as sharp as its competition.
The Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 hardware is actually not bad for its price, and the faux-metal finish makes it feel even nicer. The glass display and body give it a halfway decent feel.
At the bottom end, where the tablet is curved for the kickstand, there is the power button and headset jack opposite each other. The power button is actually really nice, and has a good feel to it when pressed. It may be odd to mention this, but when compared to other tablets, it seems really cushy.
The opposite side of the power button is the 3.5mm headset jack, and above that is the volume button and a small microphone.
When the device is facing you in landscape orientation, you'll also notice there are two front-facing speakers. If you purchase the tablet, you will have already noticed the Dolby logo on the box.
The speakers will offer Dolby Digital Plus enhancement, which should mean that its sound would be superior to what you'd normally find on tablets. We'll get more into that later.
Flip the tablet over to reveal its backside, and you'll see a nicely textured back with a smooth panel at the bottom where the kickstand flips out.
Open up that kickstand and you'll reveal the microSD card slot. The Yoga Tablet 10 will support up to 64GB microSD cards, so if you have tons of media and documents you need to take around with you, we're sure you'll find plenty of storage options here.
By default, you'll have either 16GB or 32GB memory options. You'll also get 1GB RAM, which doesn't sound like a lot compared to modern flagship tablets and even smartphones, but it'll be plenty for social network, watching videos and maybe a few lightweight games here and there.
Like most tablets these days, the Yoga Tablet 10 also has front and rear-facing cameras. We really wish this trend would die in tablets, except the front-facing camera for video calling, but it's here.
The front-facing camera is a 1.6MP HD camera, which you can use for taking selfies or making video calls. The rear camera, which should never really be used for taking stills, is a 5MP shooter.
Interestingly, not long after pulling the tablet out of the box, we noticed a gash behind the flap or kickstand. We're not exactly sure what would've caused this, but it's worth noting that the metal kickstand, which is the only metallic part of this whole tablet, may be very soft, so we would be careful to take care of it.
Overall, we're satisfied with the hardware and build quality of the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10. Initially, we had mixed feelings about the design and the rounded edge, but after a while we used it more to grip and carry the device. Having the kickstand hinge is worth the unusual design choice.
The Yoga Tablet 10 runs Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, so you aren't going to find the latest and greatest here. However, it will support most Android apps, and for what you might use a tablet, we don't expect any real shortcomings because of this Android version.
If you're already familiar with Android, you'll feel right at home once you power on the Yoga Tablet 10. If you're new to Android, there may be a bit of a learning curve, but it shouldn't take long before you're swiping and tapping like a pro.
The custom UI is hit or miss in some areas, but it's decent given the tablet's form factor and aspect ratio.
By default, you get three home screens, with the main screen showing a time and weather widget, a video widget and the Google search bar. The dock below has Lenovo's browser, email client, gallery, Google Play Music, a video player and the Play Store.
Swipe over to the right and you'll see a home screen loaded with apps from a power manager to the basic Google stuff, like Gmail, Hangouts and so forth.
At the bottom, you'll always have the back, home and application switcher buttons, along with a menu button to the far right that allows you to add widgets, themes and access your Settings.
When you hit the application switcher, you can jump from app to app like you would on any other Android Jelly Bean device. To close apps, simply swipe upward and it will disappear, although push notifications and other critical tasks will remain (e.g. push mail won't stop just because you swipe the Gmail app away).
Interestingly, there isn't a button to take you to all your apps, so if you download tons of apps, it looks like you'll have to deal with having them all on your home screens.
Swiping downward from the upper-left corner will bring down the notifications tray, where you can see incoming or missed notifications and messages. Swiping down from the upper-right corner will show the quick toggle options you have, like adjusting brightness, going into Settings or turning Wi-Fi on and off.
If you pinch the screen, your home screen panels will appear. From here, you can add additional home screens, quickly jump to another home screen, or rearrange them as you like. If you swipe upward from here, you'll also be able to bring up the device's widgets.
In order to add widgets to a home screen, first swipe the home screens until you reach the one you want to modify - its borders will turn orange and it will be centered. Then simply tap on the widget you need and it will be added to that home screen.
For the most part, you just need to toy around with the UI and software to figure things out. You shouldn't worry about screwing anything up or accidentally deleting anything unless you're really pushing it.
Lenovo really dumbed down the UI and software, and while it might seem like the equivalent to getting a gigantic sheet of white paper with enormous crayons, it mostly gets the job done.
Dolby Digial Plus sound
Considering the addition of Dolby technology to promote this tablet's sound, we weren't all that impress with what came through on the speakers.
At maximum volume, music still sounded a little weak and metallic. It's almost as if the sound is being cupped, amplifying the sound of speakers that aren't of the best quality.
It's a shame Dolby put its name on this thing, because its sound is truly disappointing. And we would expect high quality sound for a device meant to be propped up, a device that is ideal for consuming multimedia content.
In short, we really can't recommend the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 to anyone. It has missed its mark, though Lenovo might be onto something with this form factor.
Tragically, the display is disappointing, and the sound is weak for a tablet that boasts Dolby Digital Plus sound.
On the other hand, if a sharp display and glorious sound aren't all that important to you, you could probably do worse. On second thought, you can't. For pretty much the same amount of money, you can buy a new Nexus 7, which is a superior tablet in every conceivable way. Or you can get a Kindle Fire HDX.
We're hoping for big things from Lenovo in the tablet space, but unfortunately the Yoga Tablet 10 falls short in nearly every category. If you've had your eye on this tablet and were considering it, go with the aforementioned tablets instead.

Typeface as Program: Applied Research and Development in Typography
Designed by David Keshavjee and Julien Tavelli
The book "Typeface as Program" is a book about the graduation project of David Keshavjee and Julien Tavelli. They graduated at the ECAL/University of Art and Design [x] in Lausanne, Switserland.
The first thing you will notice when you see this book is, of course, the cover. As seen in the picture, this cover contains the colours red, white and black. I think this, and the typeface on the cover appealed to me the most at first sight. It also seems like a book that makes you move closer, because you see the cover but you cannot read at first side what is written on the cover, because it's vertical. You also do not yet really understand what it is about and what you will find inside. As the title is situated very small in the left corner, it draws you come closer. When you read it, Typeface as Program, more questions pop up. What is this book about? Why did they situated the words like this?
When you open the book you'll see a very outstanding orange colour which I really like.
Next you will see the table of contents and introduction. What I don't really like about that is that it's vertical written, so you have to turn the book which is not very practical. It does look nice.
What I already mentioned in the beginning, is the typeface. If you actually start to read this book you'll find out the whole book is about this typeface and how they developed and produced it.
A view into the book about their graduation project
The size is a little bit smaller then A4-size, which I also like because it fits easily into my bag, and A4 mostly doesn't. The cover is soft but not too soft. The size and the material makes the book approachable because it is not too big and heavy to open it.
The book is representing the graduation project of Keshavjee and Tavelli collaborated by other people. The project "Creating tools, Using tools" earned Keshavjee and Tavelli the Federal Design Grant in 2009 [x]. This project is realised by several steps. They decided to develop their own tools. First they programmed a script that could automatically generate character sets based on a group of specified variables. Then, with the digital font they created, they made wood types and an automatic layout tool.
Pictures of the handmade woodcuts they made for their typeface
By combining these tools, they printed the posters seen in the beginning of the book. Using a digital font and manual wood types, they wanted to contrast different kinds of typographic languages.
In the result you can see the programmed randomness. Their type design is impossible to regenerate with either only traditional- or digital methods. The typeface was based on the idea that the, let's call it, "DNA" was only containing the letters "o" and "n", and from those two letters on they built the complete Latin alphabet.
The typeface is called "Programme". Primitiv is the first version, which was automatically generated. Its very light, almost like a sketch with a skeletal structure. Later they made more calligraphic cuts. In the typeface it's possible to see marks made by pen, brushes or computer. The typeface looks, even though its automatically generated, almost like an old typeface.
Programme, 2009, Keshavjee&Tavelli's typeface they made as a graduation project
After their graduation project they, of course, didn't sit still. They continued a lot to work in an experimental way combining different tools and using them in a twisted way, to try to reach an innovating and interesting effect. Seen in the catalog "Acid Test", their first experiments with chemical products.
Acid Test, 2010, in collaboration with Tatiana Rihs and Körner Union
In this book, they tried to work completely manual, without computer but with for example tape, razor blades, acids or brushes. They were trying to understand better how colours on colours overlay and how chemicals would react on other material. "Les impressionists Magiques" is a final product of the best outcomes they got by using these new tools, shapes and gestures. They try to see the good also in "mistakes" and unexpected surprises. It marks their work. They push tools to their boundaries and use them in a wrong/different way to get new results.
They made several more catalogs, booklets, posters for festivals and record covers. Also, they work a lot in collaboration with other artists. Their latest is "The Most Beautiful Swiss Books of the year 2013". Again they combined new methods, for example all the parameters in the book are changing all the time. Furthermore are some pages glossy and some aren't. I think this is an innovating view on typography to use subtle and original gestures. They also used different screening types. This all comes out in a book full of varieties [x].
The most beautiful Swiss Books, 2013
La Grida Loca (2010) is a short booklet for graphic design students. It is about common mistakes and solutions for graphic designers and it also contains designer tips — in collaboration with Körner Union.

If the scientists who made her find out, they'll erase what remains of who she was.
Kaitlyn finds an unlikely ally in Lucas, a handsome, brilliant scientist who can't get over the guilt he feels knowing she was once a vibrant, beautiful young woman. He never expected a science project to affect him the way she does. As he tries to help her rediscover her past, he finds himself falling for the brave girl struggling to find her place and acceptance between the human and computer worlds.

An Introduction to J2EE
To paraphrase the old adage, to understand where you are going, it is always good to know exactly where you are. It is no different with J2EE. To truly understand J2EE and how it can help you do your job, it is important to know exactly what it is and how it came to be. Once you have done that, then understanding the architecture and technology of J2EE makes much more sense.
Building from that knowledge, we can then examine the architecture of J2EEhow applications should be architected using this technology. This chapter covers these basic architectural concepts, building on the technical discussion of J2EE and progressing to an architectural view. Successive chapters build on this discussion to determine which design patterns are best for J2EE and which tools work best for certain applications and not so well for others.

Julian FUD
In a pitiful attempt to show that it matters, Wikileaks has released a cache of emails stolen from Stratfor, perhaps by Anonymous.
The media is treating this as a serious story, instead of the joke it is. The only reason–only–to pay attention to this is to heap scorn on Assange, Wikileaks, and Anonymous. To point out just how colossally lame they are, individually and collectively. Wikileaks can't get actual, like, you know, confidential government documents, so it is reduced to accepting "charitable" donations of emails stolen by hackers that opportunistically exploit a private organization culpable of some egregious security lapses. How pathetic is that? (Even Wikileak's big coup-the State Department cables-was handed to it on a plate by Bradley Manning. It was hardly an act requiring any technical expertise.)
Is this the best they can do? Really? A private organization, that has some dealings with defense contractors and the like? An organization with a mixed reputation?
Some journalists, like Dan Murphy of the Christian Science Monitor , and Jack Shafer at Reuters, are heaping the appropriate scorn on the losers. But for the most part, the media is breathlessly reporting the "revelations" like they are real news, or something. Assange, Wikileaks, and Anonymous have jumped the shark, and the media is driving the boat.
The Russians, and Russia Today in particular, take the cake. Russia Today refers to Stratfor as a "shadow CIA." Seriously. They do. And there was a kerfuffle in Russia regarding Prosecutor General Yury Chaika, who apparently was a source for Stratfor reporting on Russian "clan wars." Chaika's office asserted that claims he had cooperated with "foreign intelligence services" was a provocation. What, Stratfor is now a "foreign intelligence service"?
How farcical.
I wonder if Stratfor CEO George Friedman is regretting his appearances on RT.
Speaking of Friedman, an email stating he had resigned as CEO was circulated. But that was apparently a forgery-part of the Anonymous campaign against Stratfor. Friedman posted a video about the leak, in which he was identified as Stratfor CEO.
He should really come out with a video stating conclusively he has not resigned. Preferably holding a copy of a newspaper with today's date. It has really come to that.
Wikileaks and Assange and Anonymous wrap themselves in the cause of openness and transparency. In fact, they are rather low rent criminals who sow FUD rather than shed light into dark corners. If the media is going to give them any attention, it should be in the form of scorn and ridicule, rather than the rather embarrassing breathless coverage seen today. Taking them seriously only encourages the fools.

Brothers Osborne Have Picked Up Some Quarantine Hobbies That Help With Mental Health
Like most other country artists, the Brothers Osborne have found themselves with an unexpected and dramatic uptick of downtime during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the sibling duo have found creative ways to keep busy while they're stuck at home.
Early on during quarantine, bandmate TJ Osborne spent some time perfecting his skills in the kitchen, learning to cook the perfect steak. Now, he says, he's moved on to other — perhaps less sophisticated — pursuits.
"One thing that I do play — and you know what, I don't care, for those of you out there who hate guys that do this — I like to online game at night. It's very helpful for my mental health," TJ recently told Taste of Country Nights with a laugh.
The singer goes on to say that he prefers multi-player games like Call of Duty, but he's selective about who he teams up with, typically preferring to game with friends instead of strangers.
"I don't play with random people. Mainly because you end up playing with, like, a 12-year-old, who just cusses non-stop," TJ jokingly explains. "That's part of why I play, I end up playing with friends that I've had for a long time, that I don't get to see anymore. I didn't get to see them when we were touring, so that's really where it started. It was like, 'Oh man, this is a cool way for us to stay in touch, you know, and feel like we're hanging out.' And then, obviously, we went into quarantine...honestly, it was kind of a life-saver."
As for his brother and bandmate? John Osborne has spent quarantine digging deeper into painting, a hobby he's long enjoyed but hasn't always had time to dig into. Like TJ, John explains his painting hobby has eased some of the stress of the pandemic, as well as the fatigue he felt after finishing the band's newest record, Skeletons, early in 2020.
"I was really exhausted with fatigue ... just getting my butt kicked with touring and working non-stop. By the time we finished our record, I'm like, 'You know, I love music, but it's just not really doing it for me at the moment.' I was a little fried," he explains.
Plus, while painting and making music are both artistic processes, John says that making visual art is a different experience for him because compared to making music, he's still a novice at it.
"I have kind of a natural ability but it doesn't come super easy, so I have to really focus on what I'm doing. And that's what I love about it," he explains. "Because music, it's amazing and it has its own challenges, but we've done it for so long it doesn't require as much brainpower as it maybe did when we were learning."
John recently showed off his quarantine project, posting a snap of himself along with his painting of rocker Mick Jagger on Instagram. However, fans shouldn't expect John to start posting his artwork for sale: Unlike music, it's a hobby, not a career, and he's happy to keep it that way.
"The thing with music used to be that it was something that I would do because it got me out of my world, right? It was sacred. It was only mine. Then you get to the point where it's your career — and you're very very lucky, you're very fortunate, and it's really amazing. It's a gift," John relates. "But it couples itself with — now you have to perform. You have to show up. You have to always be 'on.' And it kinda loses its sacredness, a little bit.
"Now, painting for me ... I'm only doing it just because I want to, and I don't have to be great at it," he adds.
But although John is modest about his painting skills, his Mick Jagger portrait shows some serious artistic talent, and stars including Randy Houser, Dierks Bentley and Hailey Whitters all chimed in in the comments section to say how impressed they were by the painting. TJ jokingly objects to all the compliments directed towards his brother, adding that anyone who's a fan of John's painting abilities would be even more impressed if they got a front-row seat to his own quarantine hobby.
"Well, wait 'til you see me online game," he adds drily. "It's pretty impressive."

Policies and Procedures for Wage Claim Processing
This is to provide a basic overview of the Division of Labor Standards Enforcement's (DLSE) wage claim process and to outline the basic filing, conference, hearing and appeal procedures. Since this guide is not meant to be a definitive statement regarding the processing of wage claims, parties are strongly urged to read all forms received by them throughout the process. Failure to comply with each requirement of the process may result in the loss of important rights.
Summary of the Procedures
Any employee who has a claim against his or her employer or former employer for unpaid wages or other compensation, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Labor Commissioner, may file a claim with DLSE which is under the direction of the State Labor Commissioner. The Labor Commissioner has no jurisdiction over those persons determined to be bona fide independent contractors and only limited jurisdiction over employees of public agencies (for example, federal, state, county or municipal employees). In addition, based on California law and court decisions, the Labor Commissioner, in some cases, does not have jurisdiction over the wage claims of union members working under collective bargaining agreements. The Labor Commissioner always has the authority to determine if it has jurisdiction over a wage claim.
The Labor Commissioner, pursuant to the provisions of Labor Code Sections 98 and 98.3, has established procedures for investigating wage complaints, which may include either a conference pursuant to Section 98.3 or a hearing pursuant to Section 98(a), or both.
Sometimes claims are filed which are very complex and involve a large number of employees and records. Such claims will usually be investigated by DLSE's Bureau of Field Enforcement and not through the procedures described in this pamphlet. If this occurs, the parties will be so informed by the deputy handling the case. However, the majority of claims filed with DLSE are resolved through Section 98.3 conferences and/or Section 98(a) hearings that are explained in this pamphlet.
Filing the Complaint
An employee (plaintiff) alleging the non-payment of wages or other compensation by his or her employer (defendant), must file a claim (the DLSE Form 1, "Initial Report or Claim" form) with a local office of DLSE to initiate investigation of the claim by the Labor Commissioner. When filing a claim, the plaintiff should provide as much information as possible on the "Initial Report or Claim" form, including the legal name, location, and status (method of doing business, i.e. sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation) of the defendant.
Along with the completed "Initial Report or Claim" Form, plaintiffs should also submit these additional DLSE Forms if any of the following situations apply:
- DLSE Form 55 (if the plaintiff's work hours or days of work varied per week or were irregular and the plaintiff is seeking unpaid wages or premium pay for meal or rest period violations)
- DLSE Form 155 (if the claim involves commission pay)
- DLSE "Vacation Pay Schedule" (if the claim involves vacation wages)
In addition, along with the completed Initial Report or Claim form, the plaintiff should submit ONE COPY of the following documents in support of the claim, if the plaintiff has these documents (DO NOT submit original documents):
- Time records the plaintiff kept of the hours and dates worked that support the claim.
- Paychecks and pay stubs showing the wages paid during the claim period.
- Dishonored (or "bounced") paycheck(s) during the claim period.
- Notice of employment information (pursuant to Labor Code Section 2810.5, a notice from the employer that employees may have received after January 1, 2012, which indicates the employee's basic employment information including rate of pay, any overtime rate of pay, whether the employee was paid by the hour, shift, day, week, salary, piece, commission, or otherwise, and the regular payday).
NOTE: It is the employer's legal responsibility to keep accurate employee time and payroll records, and to provide employees with itemized wage statements each time they are paid (or at least semimonthly). In order to file a claim, employees are not required to keep their own time records or to have the documents above. These documents are being requested only if employees have them because they may help DLSE better understand the claim.
- Collective Bargaining Agreement (if the plaintiff's employment was covered by a union contract).
After the claim is assigned to a Deputy Labor Commissioner (deputy), he or she will determine, based on the circumstances of the claim, how best to proceed. Within thirty (30) days of the filing of the complaint, the deputy shall notify the parties as to the specific action which will initially be taken regarding the claim:
- referral to a conference
- referral to a hearing
- dismissal of the claim
Not all cases will go to a conference before going to a hearing. Moreover, many cases will be resolved informally before either a conference or a hearing is scheduled.
The Conference
- If the decision has been made by the deputy to hold a conference, a Notice of Claim Filed and Conference will be sent to both parties which will describe the claim, provide the date, time and place of the conference, and direct the parties that they are expected to attend.
- The conference will be conducted informally and the parties will not be under oath. The purpose of the conference is to determine if the claim can be resolved without a hearing. Plaintiffs are not required to prove their case at the conference. The parties should be prepared to talk with the deputy about the claim, including whether there are any witnesses. However, the parties do not need to bring witnesses to the conference. Plaintiffs should bring a copy (not the original) of any document that supports the claim, but should not bring documents that have already been submitted with the claim form. Defendants should also bring any documents that support their position.
- If the defendant fails to appear at the conference, in most cases, the claim will be scheduled for a hearing. If the plaintiff fails to appear, except for good cause shown, the claim will be dismissed.
- If the case is not resolved at the conference, the deputy will determine the appropriate action with regard to the claim, usually referral to a hearing or dismissal (if there is not a legal basis to proceed).
- If the defendant makes payment of the claim, or any part of the claim, directly to the plaintiff, the plaintiff must notify the deputy. If the payment satisfies the claim in full, the case will be closed.
- The plaintiff may withdraw the claim, by written request to the deputy, at any time during the process.
The Hearing
- If a hearing is scheduled (either after the claim is filed or after a conference), the parties will receive, either by mail or by personal service, a Notice of Hearing which will set the date, time and place of the hearing.
- Although hearings are conducted in an informal setting, they are formal proceedings, as opposed to the conference. At the hearing the parties and witnesses testify under oath, and the proceedings are recorded.
- Each party has the following basic rights at the hearing:
1. To be represented by an attorney or other party of his or her choosing.
2. To present evidence.
3. To testify in his or her own behalf.
4. To have his or her own witnesses testify.
5. To cross-examine the opposing party and witnesses.
6. To explain evidence offered in support of his or her position and to rebut evidence offered in opposition.
7. To have an interpreter present, if necessary.
- The hearing officer has sole authority and discretion for the conduct of the hearing and may:
1. Explain the issues and the meaning of terms not understood by the parties.
2. Set forth the order in which persons will testify, cross-examine and give rebuttal.
3. Assist parties in the cross-examination of the opposing party and witnesses.
4. Question parties and witnesses to obtain necessary facts.
5. Accept and consider testimony and documents offered by the parties or witnesses.
6. Take official notice of well-established matters of common knowledge and/or public records.
7. Ascertain whether there are stipulations by the parties that may be entered into the record.
8. Determine which witness may testify.
- You should bring all documents that will support your position. An employer who intends to introduce business records into evidence should also bring a person to the hearing who can explain how such records were prepared. If available, the originals of all documents should be brought to the hearing plus two sets of copies.
- If you wish witnesses to testify, you may arrange for the witnesses to attend voluntarily or you may request issuance of a personal subpoena to compel their attendance.
- Subpoenas for documents, records or witnesses must be issued by the Labor Commissioner. Applications to the Labor Commissioner for issuance of subpoenas should be made at least fifteen (15) business days prior to the date of the hearing. Submit a written request, using Information for Subpoena (DLSE 564) stating the reasons you feel the documents, records or witnesses are relevant or necessary. Costs incurred in the service of a subpoena, witness fees and mileage will be borne by the party requesting the subpoena.
- Changes in the date, time or place of the hearing will not be granted except upon the showing of extraordinary circumstances. The decision to grant such a request is within the sole discretion of the hearing officer and senior deputy, and will be rare.
- If the plaintiff fails to attend the hearing, the case will be dismissed.
- If the defendant is served with a notice of hearing and fails to attend the hearing, the hearing officer will decide the matter on the evidence he or she receives from the plaintiff.
- The hearing officer is not bound by formal rules of evidence and therefore, has wide discretion in accepting evidence. He or she also has discretion in deciding whether the assessment of penalties is appropriate in a particular case.
- Within fifteen (15) days after the hearing, the Order, Decision or Award (ODA) of the Labor Commissioner will be filed in the DLSE office and served on the parties shortly thereafter. The ODA will set forth the decision and the amount awarded, if any, by the hearing officer.
Appeal to Civil Court
Either party, or both, pursuant to Labor Code Section 98.2, may appeal the Labor Commissioner's ODA to the appropriate court, in accordance with the applicable rules of jurisdiction. The party appealing may obtain a Notice of Appeal (DLSE 537) from the DLSE office. The appeal must be filed in court within the time period set forth on the ODA, and a copy of the Notice of Appeal must be served on the Labor Commissioner and the opposing party. Whenever the defendant files an appeal, a bond in the amount of the ODA must be posted with the reviewing court. The court clerk will then set the matter for de novo hearing, which means that a judge will hear the case again with each party having the opportunity to present evidence and witnesses.
In the case of an appeal by a defendant, DLSE may represent a plaintiff who is financially unable to afford counsel in the appeal proceedings. The decision to represent the plaintiff is within the sound discretion of DLSE legal staff. The plaintiff must meet the financial criteria set forth by DLSE. The assigned deputy will send to the plaintiff a Request for Attorney Representation (DLSE 553) along with a Statement of Financial Status (DLSE 554) that must be completed and returned to the DLSE office. If the plaintiff does not meet the requirements for representation, he or she will be notified by the legal staff of the reasons that DLSE will not be providing legal representation.

Joe Perry Kicks Off Tour in Boston: Photos, Set List, Review
Joe Perry kicked off his brief run of "Joe Perry and Friends" East Coast dates in support of his new solo album, Sweetzerland Manifesto, last night in his hometown of Boston.
And when it comes to "friends," the Aerosmith guitarist has some pretty famous ones.
Not only did Perry bring along his fellow six-string bandmate Brad Whitford, former Boston guitarist Barry Goudreau and local hero Extreme singer Gary Cherone, he also called in an assist from legendary singer Terry Reid for a couple songs, Joe Perry Project singer Charlie Farren and brought the house down with Aerosmith bassist Tom Hamilton, who appeared for the encore of Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion."
The evening was heavy on Perry's main band, and old-school fans were in heaven. with nothing after the band's '70's classic era of bluesy, dirty rock 'n' roll showing up in the set list.
Those looking for something post-1976 were out of luck, with Cherone delivering the goods with brilliant acrobatics, vocal dexterity and enthusiasm for Aerosmith deep cuts like "Pandora's Box," "Last Child" and "Adam's Apple." You can see the full set list below.
To close the set out, Perry had one last surprise in introducing Hamilton, leaving three-fifths of Aerosmith onstage in the city where they started, and then following it up with "Walk This Way."
Perry has a second show tonight in Hampton Beach, N.H., before wrapping up the Joe Perry and Friends trek tomorrow in Atlantic City.
You can see photos from the show below.

It had not yet been 24 hours since President Ronald Reagan was wounded in an assassination attempt—wounds far more serious than the public was told at the time.
But on the morning of March 31, 1981, the three men he relied on most in these early days of his administration came to see him in his room at George Washington University Hospital, about six blocks from the White House.
Chief of Staff James A. Baker, Deputy Chief Michael Deaver, and Counselor Edwin Meese brought with them some urgent business—a piece of legislation that had to be signed. And it had to be signed that day.
It had passed both houses of Congress and, like all bills sent from Congress to the President, bore the signatures of the Speaker of the House, then Democrat Thomas P. O'Neill, Jr., and the President Pro Tempore of the Senate, then Republican Strom Thurmond.
The legislation would block an increase in dairy price supports that, without Reagan's signature on this legislation, would go into effect the next day, April 1, 1981, boosting price supports and costing the government hundreds of millions of dollars. Reagan's budget makers argued that the mounting costs of the dairy program could run into the billions of dollars.
The President needed to sign this bill that day. He did, right on his breakfast tray. His clear, but shaky, signature was affixed to the one-page legislation along with those of O'Neill and Thurmond.


text: IR-2020-59, March 25, 2020 WASHINGTON — To help people facing the challenges of COVID-19 issues, the Internal Revenue Service announced today a sweeping series of steps to assist taxpayers by providing relief on a variety of issues ranging from easing payment guidelines to postponing compliance actions. "The IRS is taking extraordinary steps to help the people of our country," said IRS Commissioner Chuck Rettig. "In addition to extending tax deadlines and working on new legislation, the IRS is pursuing unprecedented actions to ease the burden on people facing tax issues. During this difficult time, we want people working together, focused on their well-being, helping each other and others less fortunate." "The new IRS People First Initiative provides immediate relief to help people facing uncertainty over taxes," Rettig added "We are temporarily adjusting our processes to help people and businesses during these uncertain times. We are facing this together, and we want to be part of the solution to improve the lives of all people in our country." These new changes include issues ranging from postponing certain payments related to Installment Agreements and Offers in Compromise to collection and limiting certain enforcement actions. The IRS will be temporarily modifying the following activities as soon as possible; the projected start date will be April 1 and the effort will initially run through July 15. During this period, to the maximum extent possible, the IRS will avoid in-person contacts. However, the IRS will continue to take steps where necessary to protect all applicable statutes of limitations. "IRS employees care about our people and our country, and they have a strong desire to help improve this situation," Rettig said. "These new actions reflect just one of many ways our employees are working hard every day to assist the nation. We care, a lot. IRS employees are actively engaged, and they have always delivered for their communities and our country. The People First Initiative is designed to help people take care of themselves and is a key part of our ongoing response to the coronavirus effort." More specifics about the implementation of these provisions will be shared soon. Highlights of the key actions in the IRS People First Initiative include: Existing Installment Agreements –For taxpayers under an existing Installment Agreement, payments due between April 1 and July 15, 2020 are suspended. Taxpayers who are currently unable to comply with the terms of an Installment Payment Agreement, including a Direct Debit Installment Agreement, may suspend payments during this period if they prefer. Furthermore, the IRS will not default any Installment Agreements during this period. By law, interest will continue to accrue on any unpaid balances. New Installment Agreements – The IRS reminds people unable to fully pay their federal taxes that they can resolve outstanding liabilities by entering into a monthly payment agreement with the IRS. See IRS.gov for further information. Offers in Compromise (OIC) – The IRS is taking several steps to assist taxpayers in various stages of the OIC process: Pending OIC applications – The IRS will allow taxpayers until July 15 to provide requested additional information to support a pending OIC. In addition, the IRS will not close any pending OIC request before July 15, 2020, without the taxpayer's consent. OIC Payments – Taxpayers have the option of suspending all payments on accepted OICs until July 15, 2020, although by law interest will continue to accrue on any unpaid balances. Delinquent Return Filings - The IRS will not default an OIC for those taxpayers who are delinquent in filing their tax return for tax year 2018. However, taxpayers should file any delinquent 2018 return (and their 2019 return) on or before July 15, 2020. New OIC Applications – The IRS reminds people facing a liability exceeding their net worth that the OIC process is designed to resolve outstanding tax liabilities by providing a "Fresh Start." Further information is available at IRS.gov Non-Filers –The IRS reminds people who have not filed their return for tax years before 2019 that they should file their delinquent returns. More than 1 million households that haven't filed tax returns during the last three years are actually owed refunds; they still have time to claim these refunds. Many should consider contacting a tax professional to consider various available options since the time to receive such refunds is limited by statute. Once delinquent returns have been filed, taxpayers with a tax liability should consider taking the opportunity to resolve any outstanding liabilities by entering into an Installment Agreement or an Offer in Compromise with the IRS to obtain a "Fresh Start." See IRS.gov for further information. Field Collection Activities - Liens and levies (including any seizures of a personal residence) initiated by field revenue officers will be suspended during this period. However, field revenue officers will continue to pursue high-income non-filers and perform other similar activities where warranted. Automated Liens and Levies – New automatic, systemic liens and levies will be suspended during this period. Passport Certifications to the State Department – IRS will suspend new certifications to the Department of State for taxpayers who are "seriously delinquent" during this period. These taxpayers are encouraged to submit a request for an Installment Agreement or, if applicable, an OIC during this period. Certification prevents taxpayers from receiving or renewing passports. Private Debt Collection – New delinquent accounts will not be forwarded by the IRS to private collection agencies to work during this period. Field, Office and Correspondence Audits – During this period, the IRS will generally not start new field, office and correspondence examinations. We will continue to work refund claims where possible, without in-person contact. However, the IRS may start new examinations where deemed necessary to protect the government's interest in preserving the applicable statute of limitations. In-Person Meetings - In-person meetings regarding current field, office and correspondence examinations will be suspended. Even though IRS examiners will not hold in-person meetings, they will continue their examinations remotely, where possible. To facilitate the progress of open examinations, taxpayers are encouraged to respond to any requests for information they already have received - or may receive - on all examination activity during this period if they are able to do so. Unique Situations - Particularly for some corporate and business taxpayers, the IRS understands that there may be instances where the taxpayers desire to begin an examination while people and records are available and respective staffs have capacity. In those instances when it's in the best interest of both parties and appropriate personnel are available, the IRS may initiate activities to move forward with an examination -- understanding that COVID-19 developments could later reduce activities for an agreed period. General Requests for Information - In addition to compliance activities and examinations, the IRS encourages taxpayers to respond to any other IRS correspondence requesting additional information during this time if possible. Earned Income Tax Credit and Wage Verification Reviews – Taxpayers have until July 15, 2020, to respond to the IRS to verify that they qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit or to verify their income. These taxpayers are encouraged to exercise their best efforts to obtain and submit all requested information, and if unable to do so, please reach out to the IRS indicating the reason such information is not available. Until July 15, 2020, the IRS will not deny these credits for a failure to provide requested information. Independent Office of Appeals – Appeals employees will continue to work their cases. Although Appeals is not currently holding in-person conferences with taxpayers, conferences may be held over the telephone or by videoconference. Taxpayers are encouraged to promptly respond to any outstanding requests for information for all cases in the Independent Office of Appeals. Statute of Limitations - The IRS will continue to take steps where necessary to protect all applicable statutes of limitations. In instances where statute expirations might be jeopardized during this period, taxpayers are encouraged to cooperate in extending such statutes. Otherwise, the IRS will issue Notices of Deficiency and pursue other similar actions to protect the interests of the government in preserving such statutes. Where a statutory period is not set to expire during 2020, the IRS is unlikely to pursue the foregoing actions until at least July 15, 2020. Practitioner Priority Service – Practitioners are reminded that, depending on staffing levels and allocations going forward, there may be more significant wait times for the PPS. The IRS will continue to monitor this as situations develop. "The IRS will continue to review and, where appropriate, modify or expand the People First Initiative as we continue reviewing our programs and receive feedback from others," Rettig said. "We are committed to helping people get through this period, and our employees will remain focused on these and other helpful efforts in the days and weeks ahead. I ask for your personal support, your understanding – and your patience – as we navigate our way forward together. Stay safe and take care of your families, friends and others."

An Open Letter To Tinubu By Femi Fani-Kayode (FFK)
"Even the obstacles on my way, I predict them before those that will bring them will start to think about them. I plan for betrayal, I plan for backstabbing, I also plan for reunion & forgiveness long before they happen.I expect nothing, I expect anything, I expect everything"- Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.
My dearest Jagaban,
You know very well that I have always liked and respected you. You will also recall that a few years ago I warned you that everything that is being done to you today would eventually be done to you given the choices you made at the time.
I bear you no malice or ill-will but in view of what is happening in your political party and given the fact that your good friend, co-conspirator and collaborator, President Muhammadu Buhari, has finally thrown you under the bus and dumped you, I am constrained to write the following.
The bitter truth is that you predicted NOTHING and you saw NOTHING. The only thing you saw were your own vain delusions and insatiable greed and the only thing you felt and that moved you was your blind ambition.
You sold your body, spirit and soul to the enemy and betrayed your people even though we warned you over and over again that those you were dining with were far smarter and far more astute than you.
Yet even though all the signs were there you dismissed our concerns, vilified us, treated us with contempt, demonized us and sought to destroy us.
Now the chickens have come home to roost and the writing is on the wall. The signs are there for all to see. You betrayed and sold Lagos. You betrayed and sold the South West. You betrayed and sold the South East. You betrayed and sold the South South. You betrayed and sold the Middle Belt. You betrayed and sold the North East. You betrayed and sold the North West. You betrayed and sold the Muslims and you betrayed and sold the Christians.
Simply put you betrayed and sold EVERYTHING and EVERYONE in Nigeria just to feed and satisfy your psychotic obsession and compulsive ambition.
Like Icarus the Greek, you flew too high and too close to the sun with your wax wings, puffed up and fuelled by your hubris and pride and now you shall meet your nemesis. The spiritual wound that has been inflicted on you is irreversible and terminal and there is no going back.
The dark clouds that lie ahead of you are thick, ugly, frightful, violent and impassable: you cannot make it through them safely or survive them. Your enemies have dug a pit for you and you have already fallen into it.
They have finally stripped you naked, grabbed you by your balls and taken everything from you.
You have lost your mystique, honor, glory, self-respect, following, clout, pride, reputation and so much more. You have also lost control of the political party that you conceived, formed, nurtured and built. The APC was your baby and now they have taken it from you and are set to kill it.
They fooled you, used you, dimped you and humiliated you and now they are going to expose you, rubbish you, malign you, break you, crucify you, investigate you and utterly crush you.
You dreamed of being Vice President in 2015 and you failed. You are dreaming of being President in 2023 and you will fail.
In all your plans what you failed to appreciate is that God alone rules in the affairs of men. You refused to acknowledge or accept the fact that the Presidency of Nigeria can only be given by God and He gives it to whom He deems fit by prophecy and divine decree.
It is not about money and power and if it were Olusegun Obasanjo, Umaru Yar'adua, Goodluck Jonathan and Muhammadu Buhari, who had neither of the two before being respectively elected as President, would never had made it.
It is about God and God alone. It is for Him alone to give. It is about His purpose, His will, His counsel, His plan and His glory.
He OWNS the Presidency and the minute any man or woman attempts to usurp His role and think that he or she can buy it or manoeuvre his or her way into it by the usage of political intrigues, guile, sagacity, wisdom, power, knowledge, money or anything else, the Lord disqualifies and rejects him.
Such a person will fail woefully and may even end up losing everything he or she values and cherishes in his futile quest.
God will never share His glory with anyone and He will never support a man or woman that is prepared to mislead, betray and sell his own people down the river just to satisfy his vaulting and insatiable ambition of becoming President.
Yet the signs were there but you refused to acknowledge or accept them.
They refused to give you a formal position in the National Executive. They ensured that some of your key loyalists in the South West turned against you and opposed you.
They refused to accept even ONE of your Ministerial nominees both in 2015 and 2019. They humiliated your protegee who you nominated as Vice President and turned him into a pliant and pathetic little errand boy with no testicular fortitude or shame.
They drove your nominee at FIRS out of office unceremoniously and have placed him under criminal investigation.
They have divided the ranks of your loyalists and turned even your hitherto most trusted lieutenants against you.
They insulted, undermined, marginalised you openly and worse of all they made it clear to you privately that they would NEVER give you power.
All this meant nothing to you and you shamelessly continued to support their evil ways and toe their satanic and murderous line.
Yet if you did not care about what they subjected you to you ought to have at least cared about what they did to Nigeria.
For the last five years our nation and people have suffered because of the calamitious choices that you made and the inexplicable and unconciable alliances that you forged.
You propped up and supported a ruthless, heartless, corrupt, bloodthirsty and cruel regime and tyrant and a President that is clearly beside himself and whose mental and physical faculties reside in another realm and in another world.
Consequently our nation has been utterly and completely destroyed, our economy ruined and our people decimated.
They have been slaughtered, butchered, pauperised, emasculated, humiliated, marginalised, insulted and impoverished.
Hundreds of thousands of them have been murdered in cold blood in their homes, towns, villages and farms and millions have been displaced.
Millions more have been ruined and economically destroyed whilst our country remains weak, divided and the butt of cruel jokes all over the world.
Because of your choices Nigerians are being subjected to persecution, physically attacked, enslaved, humiliated, lynched, scorned, maimed, killed, disgraced, evicted and declared persona non grata both at home and in distant foreign lands whilst our foreign Embassies are being demolished by miscreants and local criminals even in supposedly friendly countries.
I sincerely hope thet one day you will reflect on all this and consider the damage you have done to your kinsmen and compatriots.
Whether you do or not is left to you but one thing that is clear: for the choices you have made, for all you have done and for the sheer wickedness and greed that resides in your insensitive and dark heart you will pay a heavy price both in this world and in the world to come and the Lord will hand you over to your political enemies.
Permit me to conclude by quoting the instructive words of a tweet that I posted just yesterday after I heard about the latest developments in your party. I wrote,
"First Oshiomole is kicked out by the Court of Appeal. Then his preferred replacement, Ajimobi, falls into a coma. Then his arch rival, Giadom, is recognised by Buhari as National Chairman.
Conclusion: it is over for Tinubu. He has been thrown under the bus and retired from politics!"
I stand by those words. Happy retirement my dearest Jagaban: may you live long to see the glory of our country restored and the damage that you have done to our people repaired. Shalom.

OPERATION FINALE TRAILER – Released In Theaters Aug 29
Get Tickets: Online tickets for Operation Finale <= Click!
About: Operation Finale, brings to life one of the most daring covert operations in modern history.
Starring Academy Award winner Sir Ben Kingsley (Gandhi, Schindler's List) and Golden Globe winner Oscar Isaac (Star Wars: The Last Jedi, X-Men: Apocalypse).
The film vividly captures the ingenious and brilliantly executed mission to capture Adolf Eichmann, one of the chief architects of the Holocaust.
Fifteen years after the end of World War II, acting on irrefutable evidence, a top-secret team of Israeli agents travel to Argentina where Eichmann (Kingsley) has been in hiding together with his family under an alias Ricardo Klement and execute an extremely dangerous abduction.
In attempting to sneak him out of Argentina to stand trial in Israel while being pursued by the country's right-wing forces, agent Peter Malkin (Isaac) is forced to engage Eichmann in an intense and gripping game of cat-and-mouse with life-and-death stakes.

NAME CHANGE (Adult)
The guide is meant to help someone who is not represented by a lawyer understand the general rules and procedures of a civil court case in Louisiana. It is not a complete guide to the law nor does it discuss every issue or aspect of the law that may affect your case.
This information is not meant to replace State laws or Court Rules. The purpose of this guide is to give general information and make it easier to represent yourself in court. You have a right to represent yourself in court, but it comes with the responsibility to follow certain court rules and procedures.
The guide will help you change the name of someone over the age of 18 by:
Answering questions on how to change an adult's name in the "Frequently Asked Questions" section below;
Preparing forms for you to change an adult's name in the "Forms Available" section;
Explaining the steps for changing a name in the "Instructions" section attached to the form;
Giving you more information about how to proceed with your case while delaying court fees in the "Related Links" section; and
Helping you find a lawyer in the "Find an Attorney/Community Resources" section.
*In order to file with the Clerk of Court, forms must be printed out and filled in completely. If you are unable to do this, or do not have access to a printer, you can visit your local library for assistance. For more assistance locating a library, click here.

1. Do I have to be a Louisiana Resident to change my name?
Only individuals who are residents of Louisiana can petition to have their name changed in the state. You must have attained the age of 18 in Louisiana to petition or request a name change. If you are seeking to change the name of your child under the age of 18, please click here.
2. Where do I go to petition to have my name changed in Louisiana?
In Louisiana, there are three locations where a person may go to petition for a name change. You must go to the district court of one of the following:
1. The parish of your residence,
2. The parish of your birth (if you were born in the state of Louisiana), or
3. The parish of venue for the Vital Records Registry (located in the Orleans Parish)
If you are in jail, you need to petition the district court of the parish in which you were sentenced. However, if you were convicted of a felony, you cannot petition for a name change. Only after you have completed your sentence for your felony conviction, including imprisonment and/or probation or parole, may you petition the district court for a name change.
3. How do I change my name on my birth certificate?
If you want to change your name on your original birth certificate from the state of Louisiana, you must send a certified copy of your final judgment to the Vital Records Registry along with an Application to Amend a Certificate of Birth and the appropriate fee. As of April 2011, the fee for processing the application was $18 with an additional $9 fee for a copy of the new birth certificate. This fee is subject to change.
Louisiana Vital Records Registry
Attn: Document Alteration Section
P.O. Box 60630
New Orleans, LA 70160
4. Are there any restrictions when changing my name?
In Louisiana, a person who has been convicted of a felony cannot petition for a name change until they have served their sentence. A "sentence" includes: imprisonment and or probation or parole. The district court reserves the right to deny your petition for name change after reviewing the petition.
5. How can I change my children's names?
Please click here for information on how to change the name of a minor in Louisiana.
6. How do I change back to my maiden name after a divorce?
You can file the petition above, but it is simpler to ask the Judge to approve this request during divorce proceedings (if still applicable).
7. How much does it cost to petition the court to change a name? Where should I file the petition to change my name?
The 40th Judicial District Court Clerk of Court's office is located at 2393 Highway 18 in Edgard. The office is open Monday-Friday from 8:30am-4:30pm, and accepts cash and checks. For more information, you can call the Clerk of Court's office at (985) 497-3331. Please note that the Clerk of Court does not "notarize" documents, and you may need to visit a Notary Public beforehand.
8. What if I cannot afford to pay the filing fee?
Article 5181 of the Louisiana Code of Civil Procedure provides: "an individual who is unable to pay the costs of court because of his poverty and lack of means may prosecute or defend a judicial proceeding in any trial or appellate court without paying the costs in advance or as they accrue or furnishing security therefore."
If you cannot afford the filing fee, then you can file an affidavit with the court to proceed in forma pauperis (IFP). Not only must you swear and prove to the court that you cannot afford to pay the filing fees, but you will also need a witness who knows you to swear to the court that you can't afford to pay the filing fees. The Louisiana Supreme Court provides an IFP affidavit for use in the district courts. If allowed to proceed IFP, you will not have to pay the filing fees in advance. The fees will be assessed by the judge at the end of the case though, and if you lose your case the court may assess the fees to you.
An approved IFP application means that your case can move forward before you pay the fees, but that you will still have to pay them at a later date.
If you have little or no income, it is likely that you qualify for either a no-fee or low-fee attorney from one of the legal aid organizations in the state. Please click here for more information.

Not anymore. Now, witness the power of this fully armed and operational hybrid SQL/Python working environment.
[EDIT: As of sqlpython 1.6.2, you use quit(), exit(), or Ctrl-D/Ctrl-Z to return from
interactive Python mode. See docs.]

A history of result sets from each query is exposed to the python session as the list `r`; the most recent result set is `r[-1]`. Bind variables are exposed as the dictionary `binds`. All variables are retained each time the python environment is entered (whether interactively, or with one-line `py` statements).
Resultsets in `r` are read-only, but `binds` can be written as well as read, and will be working bind variables in the SQL environment.
Oh, the possibilities...

Washington Post
"I'm confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress."
— Barack Obama, on the constitutional challenge to his health-care law, April 2
"Unprecedented"? Judicial review has been the centerpiece of the American constitutional system since Marbury v. Madison in 1803. "Strong majority"? The House has 435 members. In March 2010, Democrats held a 75-seat majority. Obamacare passed by seven votes.
In his next-day walk back, the president implied that he was merely talking about the normal "restraint and deference" the courts owe the legislative branch. This concern would be touching if it weren't coming from the leader of a party so deeply devoted to the ultimate judicial usurpation — Roe v. Wade, which struck down the abortion laws of 46 states — that fealty to it is the party's litmus test for service on the Supreme Court.
With Obamacare remaking one-sixth of the economy, it would be unusual for the Supreme Court to overturn legislation so broad and sweeping. On the other hand, it is far more unusual to pass such a fundamentally transformative law on such a narrow, partisan basis.
Obamacare passed the Congress without a single vote from the opposition party — in contradistinction to Social Security, the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, Medicare and Medicaid, similarly grand legislation, all of which enjoyed substantial bipartisan support. In the Senate, moreover, Obamacare squeaked by through a parliamentary maneuver called reconciliation that was never intended for anything so sweeping. The fundamental deviation from custom and practice is not the legal challenge to Obamacare but the very manner of its enactment.
The president's preemptive attack on the court was in direct reaction to Obamacare's three days of oral argument. It was a shock. After years of contemptuously dismissing the very idea of a legal challenge, Democrats suddenly realized there actually is a serious constitutional argument to be made against Obamacare — and they are losing it.
Here were highly sophisticated conservative thinkers — lawyers and justices — making the case for limited government, and liberals weren't even prepared for the obvious constitutional question: If Congress can force the individual into a private contract by authority of the commerce clause, what can it not force the individual to do? Without a limiting principle, the central premise of our constitutional system — a government of enumerated powers — evaporates. What, then, is the limiting principle?
Liberals were quick to blame the administration's bumbling solicitor general, Donald Verrilli, for blowing the answer. But Clarence Darrow couldn't have given it. There is none.
Justice Stephen Breyer tried to rescue the hapless Verrilli by suggesting that by virtue of being born, one enters into the "market for health care." To which plaintiffs' lawyer Michael Carvin devastatingly replied: If birth means entering the market, Congress is omnipotent, authorized by the commerce clause to regulate "every human activity from cradle to grave."
Having lost the argument, what to do? Bully. The New York Times loftily warned the Supreme Court that it would forfeit its legitimacy if it ruled against Obamacare because with the "five Republican-appointed justices supporting the challenge led by 26 Republican governors, the court will mark itself as driven by politics."
Really? The administration's case for the constitutionality of Obamacare was so thoroughly demolished in oral argument that one liberal observer called it "a train wreck." It is perfectly natural, therefore, that a majority of the court should side with the argument that had so clearly prevailed on its merits. That's not partisanship. That's logic. Partisanship is four Democrat-appointed justices giving lock-step support to a law passed by a Democratic Congress and a Democratic president — after the case for its constitutionality had been reduced to rubble.
Democrats are reeling. Obama was so taken aback, he hasn't even drawn up contingency plans should his cherished reform be struck down. Liberals still cannot grasp what's happened — the mild revival of constitutionalism in a country they've grown so used to ordering about regardless. When asked about Obamacare's constitutionality, Nancy Pelosi famously replied: "Are you serious?" She was genuinely puzzled.
As was Rep. Phil Hare (D-Ill.). As Michael Barone notes, when Hare was similarly challenged at a 2010 town hall, he replied: "I don't worry about the Constitution." Hare is now retired, having been shortly thereafter defeated for reelection by the more constitutionally attuned owner of an East Moline pizza shop.

The Book of Truth
- Chapter 766 -
This Sign, Not to Be Confused With the Mark of the Beast, Will Be to Symbolise the New One World Religion
Wednesday, April 17th, 2013 @ 20:00
My dearly beloved daughter, My Heart heaves as I have to endure the wretchedness and the suffering which the whole of humanity will have to endure. It is not My Hand which will cause this but the curse of Satan, as his spirit roams and devours souls along his path. So unsuspecting are they to this influence of evil that people blame everything else for their suffering. They place the blame of their hardship upon others and fail to understand that it is the lack of belief in God that creates such havoc in their lives.
As the spirit of the evil one grips humanity, the Light of God will clash with it in ways which will be evidenced by a number of things.
Storms will increase and upheavals will be felt in so many countries. Unrest will be seen in nations as the power of governments takes away the freedom of the people over whom they govern. Then, the churches, including all those who love God, the one Triune God, will begin to withdraw their services and close their doors.
The number of churches which will close down, will be seen, in all western countries. Soon the mark of communism will be seen by a special sign which will appear in churches which remain open; in the media; on items of clothing; in movies and this sign will be proudly worn by those in high places. It will be seen as a badge of honour and flaunted by members of the hierarchies in all main churches and religious denominations. You will see this symbol in public places; on altars; in airports and on the garments worn by leaders in the churches.
This sign, not to be confused with the Mark of the Beast, will be to symbolise the new One World Religion. Those responsible for it will no longer be fearful of displaying their sign, which is a symbol for control and allegiance to the beast.
The day the daily Sacrifice of the Masses are stopped, in the format which they must be offered in My Holy Name, will be the day when this symbol appears on the altars and before all the tabernacles in the world.
Pray, My beloved followers, that you will find solace in those sacred servants of Mine who remain loyal to Me, for you will need comfort during these trials. I will always lift you and carry you. I will never desert you, but you must never deviate from My Teachings, or accept pagan practices as a substitute for the Truth.
Your Jesus

The Hunt for Mexico's Heirloom Beans, a New Yorker Magazine feature written by Burkhard Bilger and published 4/23/2018, starts and ends with eating. Thanks to my Teotitlan del Valle friend Scott Roth for sending me this article, lengthy but worth the time to read.
For northern North Americans unfamiliar with bean culture, we think of this legume as filler, to be mashed, seasoned, dipped into with a tortilla chip, pushed aside or preceded with a Bean-O pill to cut intestinal gas.
Eat your lima beans, I remember my mother saying. Ugh. It wasn't until much later, when I learned to cook fresh limas, that I began to appreciate the oft-maligned bean.
For Mexicans, where the bean originates, it is a staple of life, high in protein and flavorful in its pure and simple state of existence. Cook it simply in water and salt, says Rancho Gordo heirloom bean maven Steve Sando, and you will love the taste and texture.
Here in the south of the United States of America where I have lived for the past thirty years, the traditionalists gravitate toward black-eyed peas and collards. This is especially true during New Years, when the black-eyed pea is center stage on every table to signify a new year of abundance. I've even seen the tradition carried to snow-bound climes by southerners yearning for a bit of home.
Out west where I grew up, my family's preferred bean was pinto, always industrially grown and originating from a sixteen-ounce tin that my mother could easily open with her electric can opener. With contents dumped into the Farberware two-quart saucepan, gas burner turned to high, the beans were ready to serve in minutes to accompany the chewy, gray-center ground sirloin she called hamburger, if they didn't burn first.
I used to think that black beans were a gourmet delight when I started living in Oaxaca in 2006. I used to think that big, plump beans were better than dwarf-like varieties. Little did I pay attention to the fact that the bigger the bean, the more likely they are to be genetically modified. I didn't realize that there are almost as many varieties of beans in Mexico as there is corn, based on regional differences and genetic adaptation to soil and climate.
In December 2017, I wrote a blog post, Union Zapata Hosts Biodiversity Fair in Oaxaca. Native corn, squash and beans took center stage. I went there in search of red, purple, yellow, and blue corn. I left with a deeper appreciation for what it takes to sustain a traditional milpa — the bean, corn, squash native agricultural growing exchange that provides complex protein intake for indigenous people.
Here is my challenge: Think about your own experience about beans growing up. Add your memories in the comment section. Share your recipes. Treat yourself to some real beans!

text: Feed Your Bones09/11/2010The US recommended daily allowance (RDA) of calcium is 1000mg per day for pre-menopausal women and 1500mg per day for post-menopausal women. The actual intake values are much lower than this. Osteoporosis is the decline of bone mass as we age. To feed the bones optimally, researchers in the Journal of Internal Medicine recommend 800mg of Vitamin D with 1000mg - 1200mg of Calcium a day. They write that Vitamin D and Calcium supplementation will especially benefit those who have osteoporosis and also take antiresorptive or anabolic treatment, those who take glucocorticoids, and those with or at risk of calcium or vitamin D deficiencies (like older men and women). (1) Bone mass is developed in youth when the rate of absorption of calcium is highest. Consider women who take 1332 mg of calcium versus teenage girls who take 1200 mg of calcium. Women absorb only 73mg while the teen girls absorb 326 mg. (Yes, it takes a lot of calcium absorb a small amount!) Yet, girls don't typically get enough calcium in their teen years, and yet a measly 5% increase in bone mass decreases fracture risk by 40%. The lead researcher went so far as to ask young women to consider: "Picture what you want to look like in 70 years. Do you want to be jogging or in a wheelchair?" You would think this study by Purdue University researchers would make an impact, and all teen girls would take more calcium! (2) We can't blame the girls though as even adult women who are diagnosed with osteoporosis or even experience an osteoporosis-related fracture don't change their ways either. In a study of 2631 postmenopausal women, nearly 10% were diagnosed with osteoporosis and half of those women had even had a fracture. Their daily dietary calcium intake was only 754 mg which they principally got from dairy products, far lower than the recommended daily allowance. The women in the study consumed even less as they aged. (3) The bottomline in bone mass building is feed the bones! Feed them early in life and keep feeding them. Calcium and Vitamin D3 are particularly necessary to make an impact on bone mass. A quality supplement with the best calcium source like calcium citrate may be beneficial for our daughters, our sisters, our mothers and our grandmothers. Talk with your female loved ones today.

Meet The Country Babies Born In 2018 [Pictures]
A number of new cowboys and cowgirls have entered the world in 2018. A couple dozen country artists have welcomed new babies (including a couple sets of twins!) this year.
Lady Antebellum's Hillary Scott got a double dose of trouble when she welcomed twin girls in January. Fans are loving that the singer hasn't been shy about sharing pictures of and stories about babies Betsy and Emory on her social media channels ... like when the girls met their honorary uncle, Charles Kelley.
The genre's second set of twins, two boys born to Chris and Morgane Stapleton, arrived a couple months later; Reba McEntire got to announce their birth during the 2018 ACM Awards! The Stapletons have two older children, and they're expecting a fifth child as well.
Jessie James Decker is another country singer who said hello to a new family member in the early half of 2018. And the Zac Brown Band are seeing their numbers grow, too: Three of the band's members welcomed new babies this year.
Craving more baby news? Check out the photo gallery above to learn about the new additions to the country music family, and their proud parents.

Dogs love to be a part of your daily routines! From taking long walks to home workouts to hiking in the woods or even simpler things such as going to get the mail or even making dinner.
Since they always love to be included in these activities, why not include them in the healthy ones that would benefit them as well?
Keeping your dog active by involving them in physical and mental exercises for one helps to prevent boredom. A bored pup with no means of burning off energy could easily become destructive or even depressed.
A daily or weekly exercise schedule could also boost your dog's brain power and reduce health related risks, such as obesity, arthritis, health diseases, etc.
Here are a number of activities that you and your pet could carry out together this year:
Brisk and long walks around the neighborhood gives Daisy stronger bones, more energy, and loads of excitement. She might even meet a new friend or two.
Engaging in choreographies with Daisy makes for better bonding between you two. It also gives your pet stronger muscles and more stamina.
This not only works wonders on your dog's muscles, it also increases endurance and gives Daisy a stronger heart and lungs. Swimming might be strange to her, so take it slow at first.
This is fun for your dog because it is a world of new smells and there's the upside of mental stimulation too.
Running your dog through an obstacle course exercises their muscles and improves coordination.
This is like yoga, but for dogs. It could be fun for your Daisy and tighten the bond between both of you and get in some good stretches.
Playing tennis with your dog is a great workout, and a way of getting practice for you. It also boosts coordination and balance for you and Daisy.
Now that you have seen how to incorporate your pet into your various daily routines, ensure that you practice safety precautions such as bringing along water to avoid dehydration, proper harnessing and leashing, etc.
