Just happened
This is amazing..
.scary too
As I noted in the introduction to my book, The Obama Timeline, a jury at a murder trial will often find the accumulated circumstantial evidence so overwhelming that a guilty verdict is obvious-even though there may be no witness to the crime. "The jurors in the Scott Peterson trial believed the collection of evidence more than they believed Scott Peterson. Among other things, the jury thought that being arrested with $15,000 in cash, recently-dyed hair, a newly-grown goatee, four cell phones, camping equipment, a map to a new girlfriend's house, a gun, and his brother's drivers license certainly did not paint a picture of a grieving husband who had nothing to do with his pregnant wife's disappearance and murder."
In the four years I have been gathering information about-and evidence against-Barack Hussein Obama,
I have encountered hundreds of coincidences that strike me as amazing. None of those coincidences, by themselves, may mean much. But taken as a whole it is almost impossible to believe they were all the result of chance. Consider the Obama-related coincidences:
Obama just happened to know 60s far-left radical revolutionary William Ayers, whose father just happened to be Thomas Ayers, who just happened to be a close friend of Obama's communist mentor Frank Marshall Davis, who just happened to work at the communist-sympathizing Chicago Defender with Vernon Jarrett, who just happened to later become the father-in-law of Iranian-born leftist Valerie Jarrett, who Obama just happened to choose as his closest White House advisor, and who just happened to have been CEO of Habitat Company, which just happened to manage public housing in Chicago, which just happened to get millions of dollars from the Illinois state legislature, and which just happened not to properly maintain the housing-which eventually just happened to require demolition.
Valerie Jarrett also just happened to work for the city of Chicago, and just happened to hire Michelle LaVaughan Robinson (later Obama), who just happened to have worked at the Sidley Austin law firm, where former fugitive from the FBI Bernardine Dohrn also just happened to work, and where Barack Obama just happened to get a summer job. Jarrett also just happened to follow Obama as a member of the board of the Joyce Foundation, where she served with Michael Brewer, who just happens to be married to Janet Brown, who just happens to be executive director of the Commission on Presidential Debates, which just happened to select four leftist members of the mainstream media to moderate the 2012 presidential and vice-presidential debates.
Bernardine Dohrn just happened to be married to William Ayers, with whom she just happened to have hid from the FBI at a San Francisco marina, along with Donald Warden, who just happened to change his name to Khalid al-Mansour, and Warden/al-Mansour just happened to be a mentor of Black Panther Party founders Huey Newton and Bobby Seale and a close associate of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, and al-Mansour just happened to be financial adviser to a Saudi Prince, who just happened to donate cash to Harvard, for which Obama just happened to get a critical letter of recommendation from Percy Sutton, who just happened to have been the attorney for Malcolm X, who just happened to know Kenyan politician Tom Mboya, who just happened to be a close friend of Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., who just happened to meet Malcolm X when he traveled to Kenya.
Obama, Sr. Just happened to have his education at the University of Hawaii paid for by the Laubach Literacy Institute, which just happened to have been supported by Elizabeth Mooney Kirk, who just happened to be a friend of Malcolm X, who just happened to have been associated with the nation of Islam, which was later headed by Louis Farrakhan, who just happens to live very close to Obama's Chicago mansion, which also just happens to be located very close to the residence of William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, who just happen to have been occasional baby-sitters for Malia and Natasha Obama, whose parents just happen not to mind exposing their daughters to bomb-making communists.
After attending Occidental College and Columbia University, where he just happened to have foreign Muslim roommates, Obama moved to Chicago to work for the Industrial Areas Foundation, an organization that just happened to have been founded by Marxist and radical agitator Saul "the Red" Alinsky, author ofRules for Radicals, who just happened to be the topic of Hillary Rodham Clinton's thesis at Wellesley College, and Obama's $25,000 salary at IAF just happened to be funded by a grant from the Woods Fund, which was founded by the Woods family, whose Sahara Coal company just happened to provide coal to Commonwealth Edison, whose CEO just happened to be Thomas Ayers, whose son William Ayers just happened to serve on the board of the Woods Fund, along with Obama.
Obama also worked on voter registration drives in Chicago in the 1980s and just happened to work with leftist political groups like the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) and Socialist International (SI), through which Obama met Carl Davidson, who just happened to travel to Cuba during the Vietnam War to sabotage the U.S. war effort, and who just happened to be a former member of the SDS and a member of the Committees of Correspondence for Democracy and Socialism, which just happened to sponsor a 2002 anti-war rally at which Obama spoke, and which just happened to have been organized by Marilyn Katz, a former SDS activist and later public relations consultant who just happened to be a long-time friend of Obama's political hatchet man, David Axelrod.
Obama joined Trinity United Church of Christ (TUCC), whose pastor was Reverend Jeremiah Wright, a fiery orator who just happened to preach Marxism and Black Liberation Theology and who delivered anti-white, anti-Jew, and anti-American sermons, which Obama just happened never to hear because he just happened to miss church only on the days when Wright was at his "most enthusiastic," and Obama just happened never to notice that Oprah Winfrey left the church because it was too radical, and just happened never to notice that the church gave the vile anti-Semitic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan a lifetime achievement award.
Although no one had ever heard of him at the time, Obama just happened to receive an impossible-to-believe $125,000 advance to write a book about race relations, which he just happened to fail to write while using the cash to vacation in Bali with his wife Michelle, and despite his record of non-writing he just happened to receive a second advance, for $40,000, from another publisher, and he eventually completed a manuscript called Dreams From My Father, which just happened to strongly reflect the writing style of William Ayers, who just happened to trample on an American flag for the cover photograph of the popular Chicago magazine, which Obama just happened never to see even though it appeared on newsstands throughout the city.
Obama was hired by the law firm Miner, Banhill and Galland, which just happened to specialize in negotiating state government contracts to develop low-income housing, and which just happened to deal with now-imprisoned Tony Rezko and his firm Rezar, and with slum lord Valerie Jarrett, and the law firm's Judson Miner just happened to have been a classmate of Bernardine Dohrn, wife of William Ayers.
In 1994 Obama represented ACORN and another plaintiff in a lawsuit against Citibank for denying mortgages to blacks (Buycks-Roberson v. Citibank Federal Savings Bank), and the lawsuit just happened to result in banks being blackmailed into approving subprime loans for poor credit risks, a trend which just happened to spread nationwide, and which just happened to lead to the collapse of the housing bubble, which just happened to help Obama defeat John McCain in the 2008 presidential election.
In 1996 Obama ran for the Illinois State Senate and joined the "New Party," which just happened to promote Marxism, and Obama was supported by Dr. Quentin Yong, a socialist who just happened to support a government takeover of the health care system.
In late 1999 Obama purportedly engaged in homosexual activities and cocaine-snorting in the back of a limousine with a man named Larry Sinclair, who claims he was contacted in late 2007 by Donald Young, who just happened to be the gay choir director of Obama's Chicago church and who shared information with Sinclair about Obama, and Young just happened to be murdered on December 23, 2007, just weeks after Larry Bland, another gay member of the church, just happened to be murdered, and both murders just happened to have never been solved. In 2008 Sinclair held a press conference to discuss his claims, and just happened to be arrested immediately after the event, based on a warrant issued by Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, who just happens to be the son of Joe Biden.
In 2003 Obama and his wife attended a dinner in honor of Rashid Khalidi, who just happened to be a former PLO operative, harsh critic of Israel, and advocate of Palestinian rights, and who Obama claims he does not know, even though the Obamas just happened to have dined more than once at the home of Khalidi and his wife, Mona, and just happened to have used them as occasional baby-sitters. Obama reportedly praised Khalidi at the decidedly anti-Semitic event, which William Ayers just happened to also attend, and the event Obama pretends he never attended was sponsored by the Arab American Action Network, to which Obama just happened to have funneled cash while serving on the board of the Woods Fund with William Ayers, and one speaker at the dinner remarked that if Palestinians cannot secure a return of their land, Israel "will never see a day of peace," and entertainment at the dinner included a Muslim children's dance whose performances just happened to include simulated beheadings with fake swords, and stomping on American, Israeli, and British flags, and Obama allegedly told the audience that " Israel has no God-given right to occupy Palestine" and there has been "genocide against the Palestinian people by (the) Israelis," and the Los Angeles Times has a videotape of the event but just happens to refuse to make it public.
In the 2004 Illinois Democrat primary race for the U.S. Senate, front-runner Blair Hull just happened to be forced out of the race after David Axelrod just happened to manage to get Hull's sealed divorce records unsealed, which just happened to enable Obama to win the primary, so he could face popular Republican Jack Ryan, whose sealed child custody records from his divorce just happened to become unsealed, forcing Ryan to withdraw from the race, which just happened to enable the unqualified Obama to waltz into the U.S. Senate, where, after a mere 143 days of work, he just happened to decide he was qualified to run for President of the United States.
Obama just happened to save $300,000 on the purchase of a $1.65 million Chicago mansion for which he deposited only $1,000 in earnest money, while the seller's adjacent empty lot which was appraised at no more than $500,000 just happened to be sold at the inflated price of $625,000 to Rita Rezko, who just happened to earn only $37,000 per year working for Cook County government, and who just happened to be married to Tony Rezko, who just happened to be Obama's main money man for his political campaigns, and who only days before the Obama mansion purchase just happened to obtain a $3.5 million loan from wealthy Iraqi Nadhmi Auchi, who just happened to have been kicked out of Iraq, and who just happened to have been convicted of corruption charges in France, and who just happened to ask Rezko to ask then-U.S. Senator Obama to help him obtain a visa to travel to the United States.
Rita Rezko just happened to borrow the money for the $625,000 empty lot from the Mutual Bank of Harvey, which just happened to be run by Tony Rezko's pal Amrish Mahajan, whose wife Anita just happened to have been charged with fraudulently receiving $2 million in Illinois taxpayer dollars for drug tests never performed by her company, K. K. Bio-Science, which just happened to have a no-bid contract with the state, and whose computers just happened to disappear right before investigators arrived to take them away for evidence.
Obama just happened to obtain a $1.32 million mortgage for his mansion even though the payments of $8,000 per month (plus at least $1,500 per month in property taxes) exceeded 50 percent of his $162,100 U.S Senate salary income, and even though Michelle Obama was claiming that she and her husband were still paying off substantial student loans and were struggling to pay for piano lessons for their daughters, one of whom just happens to look remarkably like one of the daughters of Malcolm X.
Obama just happened to obtain his mansion mortgage from Northern Trust Bank, whose Board of Directors just happened to include Susan Crown, who just happened to be part of the wealthy Crown family, which just happened to donate to Obama's campaigns, and which just happened to have ownership in defense contractor General Dynamics Corporation, and the Crown family just happened to sit on the board of energy company Exelon, formerly known as Commonwealth Edison, which just happened to have had Thomas Ayers as its CEO, and the Crown family also owned the Maytag appliance company, which just happened to move its operations to Mexico, after its employees just happened to donate to Obama's campaign, after he just happened to pledge that he would keep their jobs in Galesburg , Illinois.
In June 2005, just months after Obama became a U.S. Senator, Michelle Obama just happened to be named a "non-executive director" of the board of TreeHouse Foods, a supplier of Wal-Mart, for a salary of $51,200 in 2005 and $101,083 in 2006, and she just happened to be given 7,500 TreeHouse stock options, worth approximately $72,375, even though she just happened to know nothing about the private sector or running a business.
In 2006 Obama pushed for a $1 million earmark for the University of Chicago, and his wife Michelle just happened to be promoted to Vice-President of Community and External Affairs for the hospitals with a salary increase from $121,900 to $316,962, and she just happened to receive public relations help from Obama's political strategist David Axelrod, whose mother just happened to write for a communist newspaper.
In 2006 Sarah P. Herlihy, an associate of the Chicago law firm of Kirkland and Ellis, whose employees later contributed $87,722 to Obama's presidential campaign, and whose partner Bruce I. Ettleson just happened to be a member of Obama's campaign finance committee, just happened to write a paper calling for the elimination of the "natural born citizen" requirement in the U.S. Constitution.
Obama just happened to visit Kenya in 2006 to support his cousin, Raila Odinga, a Muslim socialist candidate for president, who just happened to have ties to both al-Qaeda and Libya's Muammar Qaddafi, and who just happened to have been educated in communist East Germany, and who just happened to name his son Fidel, and who just happened to plan on establishing Shari'ah Muslim law in Kenya, and whose activities prompted the Kenyan government to lodge an official protest of Obama's passport abuse and misconduct, and Obama's actions just happened to have been denounced by the U.S. State Department as being in direct opposition to U. S. National Security, and after Odinga, for whom Obama just happened to have raised $950,000, lost the election, his Muslim followers just happened to burn Christian women and children alive in a church where they had sought refuge.
In 2006 Obama endorsed Alexi Giannoulias in his race for Illinois State Treasurer and stated that he is ".one of the most outstanding young men I could ever hope to meet"-even though Giannoulias just happened to be only 29 years old and even though his family's Broadway Bank just happened to finance Chicago crime figures like Michael "Jaws" Giorango, a Chicago thug with convictions for bookmaking and promoting prostitution, and even though virtually all of Chicago's Democrat politicians were keeping their distance from Giannoulias, whose reputation was so questionable he even failed to get the endorsement of the Chicago Democrat Party-which just happens to almost never be concerned about questionable reputations.
Obama's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, once worked for the Ford Foundation's Asia program, which just happened to be run by Peter Geithner, who just happened to be the father of Timothy Geithner, who just happened to neglect to pay Social Security taxes on much of his income, which just happened to somehow qualify him to be Obama's Treasury Secretary.
During the 2008 campaign Obama's passport records just happened to have been illegally searched by an employee of a firm headed by John O. Brennan, and Lt. Quarles Harris, Jr., who was cooperating with federal investigators in connection with the incident, just happened to be found with a bullet in his head, and the murder just happened never to be solved, and Obama later just happened to make Brennan his terrorism and intelligence advisor.
On election night in 2008 in Chicago's Grant Park, Obama just happened to wear a black suit and a red tie, and his older daughter just happened to wear a red dress, and his younger daughter just happened to wear a stark black dress, and his wife Michelle just happened to wear an arguably unattractive black dress that appeared to have a giant red X design, which just happened to prompt some to wonder if their clothing just happened to denote black power, communism, and Malcolm X, and at the very least prompted others to wonder why anyone would have his daughter wear a jet-black dress for a celebratory occasion-or where one could even just happen to find a store that sells black dresses for little girls.
From election night forward there are hundreds of other "just happeneds," not the least of which is the long-form birth certificate released by Obama in April 2011 which just happened to consist of multiple image layers, including various objects which can be separated and rotated with computer software-which just happens to be impossible if a birth certificate is merely scanned and not computer-constructed by a forger.Oh, and Obama just happened to have used more than one Social Security number over the years, and one of them is associated with 713 Hart Senate Office Building and starts with the digits 282, which signifies issuance in Ohio, a state in which Obama just happened to have never lived or worked, and another Social Security number used by Obama starts with 042, which signifies Connecticut, another state in which Obama just happened to have never lived or worked, and it just happened that no one in the mainstream media has ever bothered to ask Obama why he has used multiple Social Security numbers or why the 042 number comes up as invalid in the E-Verify system used by employers to confirm whether immigrant job applicants have valid numbers.
I could go on. but you get the idea.Don Fredrick
September 30, 2012
P.S. If Obama just happens to win reelection on November 6, remember that hyperinflation just happens to be the inescapable consequence of printing trillions of dollars to cover massive government deficits.

The Manufacturing Technology Centre: A Unity ISS case study
The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) is a research and technology organization, part of High Value Manufacturing Catapult, with a broad technology portfolio around multiple industrial sectors. Its members include blue chip firms around the world, who turn to the MTC to help them incubate and pressure test manufacturing applications of next-generation tech.
Finding cutting-edge solutions for high-value manufacturing firms' diverse needs by developing and pressure testing innovative real-time 3D projects
HoloLens 2, Gear VR, iOS, Windows, Android, Web, Oculus, HTC
7 engineers who use Unity as their main development tool
Coventry, U.K.
A new challenge with every project
In an organization like the MTC, every project is bleeding edge, so it needs lightning-fast resolutions of issues and expert insight into emergent tech. After a few years of using Unity as its real-time 3D development platform of choice, the Centre added the Integrated Success Services (ISS) program to access better support and strategic guidance for its trailblazing team, and the benefits have gone far beyond what anyone had imagined.
The results
- Met 100% of client project deadlines
- Eliminated project roadblocks with issue resolution within 24 hours or less
- Accelerated product design and development for clients
- Boosted knowledge of Unity's ecosystem and capabilities, enhancing the team's ability to propose innovative, solution-oriented projects that get funded
- Opened doors for internal collaboration with other teams by driving greater awareness of real-time 3D technology across the organization
The mandate of the MTC's advanced visualization team is to deliver business value for its manufacturing clients by transforming how their workers see and manipulate enterprise data. The Centre's projects operate on condensed timelines and run the gamut from instructional guidance applications in mixed reality and VR training solutions to digital twins of an entire factory.
Before signing up for Unity's ISS package, Brent Poynton, a technical specialist and the MTC team lead, felt like the team was "at the mercy" of Stack Overflow and self-service support to solve the complex technical challenges they face day after day. "We've only got so many resources and individuals, and we need to get bang for our buck in terms of person-hours of effort," says Poynton.
The MTC signed up for Unity's ISS package and noticed a night-day difference.
"The ticketing system has saved us on a number of occasions. Every single ticket we open up is resolved, and resolved quickly," Poynton says. "The quality of the replies we get is exceptional, and the fast response time enables things to continue. These are things that we would not have been able to solve and would have put projects at risk."
But the program is designed to address needs well beyond day-to-day operational support. The strategic guidance the MTC receives on top of its premium support relationship has helped the team accelerate product design and development for its clients.
Unity provided the MTC with a Developer Relations Manager (DRM), a Unity employee who acts as an extension of the MTC team. The DRM maintains regular contact with the MTC to accelerate its access to the Unity tools and expertise it needs. This support takes many forms, including guidance in best practices, help implementing new tools and features, and an insider's knowledge of what's coming down the pipeline.
On biweekly calls, the MTC discusses its active projects and upcoming milestones, and the DRM follows up within Unity, calling on internal teams to find additional learning resources and references to share with the MTC or putting them in contact with internal experts.
It ensures that the MTC takes advantage of the full scope of Unity's offerings, and it has proven to be the most valuable benefit of the Centre's relationship with Unity. As Jose-Maria Blanco Gomez, an advanced research engineer at the MTC, explains it, "It takes a lot of time to evaluate and understand the scope of the opportunities within Unity. Our DRM knows Unity's whole ecosystem of plugins, packages, and partners, and works with us to apply those things that will help us accelerate our workflows."
As an extension of the MTC, the DRM also champions its needs internally at Unity, whether that's by expediting a ticket or gaining access to the team who wrote the code for a much-used feature.
But the MTC benefits even more from the expedited access to information from within Unity. "It's become a relationship where we go to our DRM with a higher level of problem that our customers are coming to us with," explains Blanco Gomez.
The DRM then provides insight into how Unity can solve that problem and helps the MTC team to "get a handle really quickly on what we can actually achieve." This strategic partnership has strengthened the team's ability to propose innovative ideas for projects that get funded and move into production.
What does this look like in practice? Poynton cites a large project that required the MTC to create a digital platform for 3D assets, then pair these with physical objects around the Centre's campus.
"Let's understand your use case, the scope, and the technologies. Let's get an engineer assigned to this so they can come in and help you rapidly develop the critical aspects and features for this application," Poynton says, describing Unity's response to this challenge. "It was all set up and ready to fly in two or three weeks' time – instead of the months it would've taken us to do ourselves."
To provide additional support to the MTC, Unity has orchestrated all-day hands-on workshops with its solutions engineers and other experts. These have proven to be a win-win: Not only does the MTC's advanced visualization team benefit from deeper immersion into their tools, but it also helps them progress in their goal to expand the reach of Unity throughout the MTC. They use these events to support their internal collaboration efforts by inviting other teams within the MTC that they do not typically engage with.
One of the MTC's core functions is to stay enough ahead of the curve so that it can help its members and partners see what lies ahead – and help them create elegant and effective solutions to meet tomorrow's challenges. Working with Unity gives the Centre and its members greater visibility into development trends.
"We get access to things that aren't in the public domain yet, so we can make sure we're not doing parallel development or investigating things that we know there is a solution for coming in the pipeline," Poynton says. "That has a lot of value."
The two teams are able to look at their projects and roadmaps side by side to see where they meet up, so the MTC can take better advantage of opportunities – and do so earlier.
"Strategically, being able to have access to Unity's roadmap is invaluable, and especially the industrial roadmap," says Poynton. "We get to see what kinds of technology, plugins, and packages Unity is developing, so we can identify opportunities for leveraging them when they drop."

Real Madrid have agreed a deal to sign World Cup Golden Boot winner James Rodriguez from Monaco, the European champions have announced.
The Colombia international has agreed a six-year contract with Madrid and underwent his medical with the club on Tuesday morning.
James Rodriguez scored six goals at the World Cup
Neither club have confirmed the fee for the 23-year-old, but reports suggest Madrid have paid in the region of €80 million (£63m), which would make Rodriguez the fourth most expensive transfer of all time after Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suarez.
A Real Madrid statement read: "Real Madrid have reached an agreement with Monaco for the transfer of James Rodriguez, who will join the club for the next six seasons.
"The player will be presented today, Tuesday 22 July, at 20:00 (Spanish time), in the Santiago Bernabeu's presidential box.
"Following that, James Rodriguez will take his first steps on the Santiago Bernabeu's pitch wearing the Real Madrid shirt and will attend the media in the press room."
Rodriguez was one of the revelations of the World Cup, scoring in each of Colombia's games as they reached the quarter-finals of the competition for the very first time, eventually losing 2-1 to hosts Brazil.
Rodriguez at his medical for Real Madrid
In total Rodriguez scored six goals at the World Cup to finish as the leading scorer - one clear of Thomas Muller - while his stunning 25-yard volley against Uruguay was voted goal of the tournament on FIFA.com.
His signing comes less than a week after Madrid brought in another of the World Cup's star performers in Germany's Toni Kroos, who moved from Bayern Munich for a reported £24million.
It also means that, if the reported figure is correct, Madrid now boast three of the four most expensive signings in history, having spent a world-record £86million on Bale last summer and £80million on Ronaldo in 2009.

- Grasshopper Clings Onto Colombia's James Rodriguez
The Champions League winners would hold a clean sweep of the top three signings but for arch-rivals Barcelona, who splashed out a reported £75million on Liverpool striker Luis Suarez earlier this summer.
Rodriguez began his professional career with Colombian side Envigado before moving down to Argentinian club Banfield aged 17.
His performances for the Buenos Aires outfit attracted the attention of Porto, who signed him for £4million in 2010, and three years later he joined Monaco for £38.5million after helping the Portuguese side win a hat-trick of league titles and the 2011 Europa League.
The left-footed forward scored 10 goals in 38 matches in all competitions for Monaco last term as they finished second in Ligue 1 behind Paris St Germain.
Big-spending Monaco said they had not been looking to sell Rodriguez but described the deal as "one of the most significant transfers in football history".
A statement on www.asm-fc.com read: "The club would like to take the opportunity to thank James for the role he played in getting the club back to the Champions League and wishes him the very best for the future.
"The club had no intention to sell the player, however the time came when the solution of a transfer was considered to be the most beneficial solution for all parties.
"Monaco is proud to be a party to one of the most significant transfers in football history.
"Monaco is a club that will continue to grow and remains focused on the future. More than ever it has the ambition to strengthen the team and continue to progress for next season."

Oil on canvas
Size US: 48 × 35 × 2 in
Size Europe: 122 × 89 × 5 cm
Yari Ostovany (1962) is an American abstract artist of Iranian origins, who lived in Teheran, Cologne, Los Angeles, New York, and Reno. He currently lives and works in San Francisco, California.
This new series named after a residency castle at Chateau d'Orquevaux, France captures the mystical aggregate of Western and Eastern art, tradition and spirituality. Orquevaux 11 embeds an alchemical transformation of formal elements like light, color, texture, and space into complex compositions whose wholeness transcends its parts. The layers of pigments washed out and covered over, scrapped away and dissolved add to the depth and luminousness of the composition.
Ostovany's culturally diverse background impacts his artistic adherence to Abstract Expressionism and Color Field painting producing divergent, but profoundly complementary artwork. Ostovany creates richly textured, layered color field paintings that reflect his exploration of metamorphosis and transubstantiation.

One of many fascinating details to be found in the Underground Space Center Library archives at the Canadian Centre for Architecture is something from a paper, written by a University of Minnesota law student, called "Zoning Ordinances as Obstacles to Earth Sheltered Housing: A Minnesota Perspective."
[Image: Random basement floorplan].
There, amongst other key legal points, the student weighs in on what he calls the "definitional problems" that arise when traditional zoning law is applied to underground space—indeed, "whether zoning regulations apply at all to underground structures."
Though the paper clearly focuses on the state of Minnesota, it goes as far afield as Texas; in the case of Hancox v. Peek, for instance, "a Texas Court of Appeals held that a fallout shelter which was wholly underground, except for a concrete slab which extended a mere two or three inches above the ground, was not a building—merely an appurtenance, and therefore not within the contemplation of a zoning ordinance requiring a minimum distance between buildings and adjacent property." One can easily imagine byzantine courtroom arguments and legal appeals of the future, citing legal precedents from wartime bunker construction, domestic fallout shelters in Texas, and perhaps even subsurface mine-safety regulations in some strange Kafkaesque scenario involving, say, the late Mole Man of Hackney and his contested underground estate.
But, as it happens, my reference to mining safety is deliberate.
[Image: Random basement floorplan].
At the time of the paper's writing—the late 1970s—underground facilities, from parking garages to hospitals and private homes, were considered so novel from the perspective of traditional Minnesota zoning law that there was no accepted legal means for how to define or describe them. These are the "definitional problems" mentioned above. "Examples," we read, "are the broad definitions of basement and cellar… defining excavations of greater than 400 cubic yards as 'mining'—thus requiring a special permit, and defining 'detached dwelling' as one 'entirely surrounded by open space'."
That's worth repeating: excavations of greater than 400 cubic yards were legally zoned as mines—whether it was a parking garage or your newly renovated basement rec room.
In other words, if you lived in Minnesota in the 1960s and 70s, and you had a particularly enormous basement, inside of which you and your siblings might have watched television, you could, legally speaking, have been playing inside a mine. Whether or not this gave you permission to harvest minerals is unclear.
[Image: A continuous mining machine at work; image courtesy of Salt Union Ltd].
No lawsuit, to my knowledge, has ever been retroactively filed against Minnesotan parents, accusing them of mine-safety violations—but there is always a first time.
Nor has the reverse of this scenario—in which a Minnesotan industrial minerals magnate from St. Cloud successfully rezones his mine or quarry as a domestic basement—been, to my knowledge, attempted.

This concept is known the world over, but easily forgotten too. In one of Paulo Coelho's recent blog posts, he mentions of complaining about one burnt- out Christmas light until his wife reminds him to look at the many that are brilliantly glowing.
Close your eyes and imagine what you want in the New Year. Focus on and bless everything and everyone that represents what you want. What's so beautiful about this process is that the blessing (or praise) of others helps them as well as you.
For instance, if you want greater health in the new year, bless healthy people, animals, even healthy plants; bless everything that is well made or well constructed, advises King.
If you want greater prosperity, bless all signs of prosperity in your environment, including everything that money helped to make or do; all the money that you have in any form; and all the money that circulates in the world, King adds.
If you'd like to download a free copy of "The Aloha Spirit," by Serge Kahili King, in which he further explains the power of focus and blessing, please see http://www.alohainternational.org/html/booklets.html.
Wishing you billions of shimmering blessings in the year ahead.

Handmade from skilled artisans, this lined clutch bag is woven from an all-natural, plant-dyed cactus fiber and uses high quality, vegetable tanned leather.
Every Minga bag has been ethically sourced for a mutually agreed upon price and provides work to our artisan partners, a collaborative group of 18 women living in a remote region of Ecuador.
These bags are handmade and one-of-a-kind. This means that no two are exactly alike and almost all contain irregularities from size to styles to color. Please allow for slight imperfections as this is what adds to the unique character of each bag.
Due to the leather's natural finish each hide will keep its distinctive features, such as veins and pores. Please allow the leather time to naturally wear and soften over time.

Terrazzo is composed of marble chips and/or marble dust with a cement binder. It is available as finished individual tiles or as poured in place over a concrete slab and then ground to the polished finish. The presence of marble in the chips and/or dust means that the surface can dull down by etching from acidic liquids. To prevent this effect, it needs to have a sealer protecting it.
Terrazzo floors are a beautiful choice for flooring and can retain the original beauty for a very long time when cared for properly. Tile Cleaners ® can help you maintain your Terrazzo floors and keep them looking beautiful for longer.
Terrazzo has always been dependent on being one of the most durable floor surfaces in the floor tile industry. Terrazzo is usually a poured surface; however, it is now available as a precut floor tile. It is mainly used for commercial applications and it is available in many colors. Tile Cleaners ® uses only top quality Terrazzo cleaners, Terrazzo sealers, and Terrazzo polishes.

24''x52'' Luxury Relaxed 100% Linen Roman Shade "Tuscany"
Regular price $561.83 USD
Luxury Linen Roman Shades made from 100% linen.
A beautiful balance of style and light-filtering properties, this waterfall-style Roman shade adds a tailored look to your window. With a linen texture it's adds dimension to any room and complements any decor. As a custom shade, there are unlimited options for border width, height, color and fabrics.
Roman Shades are such a versatile window treatment that can be appropriate for almost any room in the house, like the kitchen, office, or children's bedroom. They provide privacy in a bathroom and can be made to accommodate nearly any size window.
Classic Relaxed Style:
The classic relaxed roman shade has no rods (plastic inserts) or rod pockets sewn into the shade's front fabric layer. Instead, rods are sewn into the lining layer on the back. If the lining is polycotton, you could see light going through the shade highlighting the rods on the back. You won't see the rods with soft black out/dim out lining.
The shade doesn't have any horizontal stitches; however, you can see several small handmade stitches that hold front fabric layer and lining together. These stitches contribute to the straight lines created when shade goes up.
Please note that when these shades are paired with a soft black out or dim out lining, the lining tends to come in either a beige or silver-ish blue colour. For that reason, when a black out lining is requested with linens that have a semi-opaque characteristic (such as Tuscany, Cordoba, Utopia, or Gothic Stripe), we would first insert a white polycotton lining and then add a separate layer of full black out lining, to preserve the original fabric's colour. The full black out comes with an additional cost/payment.
Roman Shades are such a versatile window treatment that can be appropriate for almost any room in the house, like the kitchen, office, or children's bedroom. They provide privacy in a bathroom and can be made to accommodate nearly any size window.

Armstrong to help "clean up cycling"
AUSTIN, Texas— An attorney for Lance Armstrong told the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency the cyclist will cooperate with efforts to "clean up cycling," though it's the sport's governing body and world anti-doping officials who should take the lead.
In letters sent this week between attorneys for Armstrong and USADA, and obtained by The Associated Press, USADA attorney William Bock requested Armstrong testify under oath by Feb. 6, but the cyclist's attorney, Tim Herman, responds that Armstrong cannot accommodate that schedule.
Last week, Armstrong admitted to taking performance-enhancing drugs to win the Tour de France seven times.
Herman's letter said Armstrong intends to appear before the International Cycling Union's planned "truth and reconciliation" commission.
Herman says the cycling union and the World Anti-Doping Agency should take the lead in cleaning up the sport.
"As you have candidly confirmed, USADA has no authority to investigate, prosecute or otherwise involve itself with the other 95 percent of cycling competitors. Thus, in order to achieve the goal of 'cleaning up cycling,' it must be WADA and the UCI who have overall authority to do so."
The letter from USADA also confirms a Dec. 14 meeting in Denver between Bock, USADA CEO Travis Tygart, Herman and Armstrong.
"Mr. Armstrong has already been provided well over a month since our meeting in December to consider whether he is going to be part of our ongoing efforts to clean up the sport of cycling," Tygart said in a statement. "He has been given a deadline of February 6th to determine whether he plans to come in and be part of the solution. Either way, USADA is moving forward with our investigation on behalf of clean athletes."
Armstrong has been banned for life and, in his interview with Oprah Winfrey last week, said he would like to compete again.
Bock's letter does not mention the ban, though Armstrong's full cooperation could lead to a reduction, perhaps to eight years, which would allow Armstrong to compete in 2020, when he'll be 49.

Biz Markie, an American original born Marcel Theo Hall and a larger-than-life hip-hop figure, has died at the age of 57. Known widely for a career spanning back to 1986, Hall went on to become a beloved cultural figure later in life, celebrated for his spirited personality as much as his massive 1989 hit, "Just A Friend." His death was confirmed by his manager, Jenni D. Izumi.
"We are grateful for the many calls and prayers of support that we have received during this difficult time," Izumi told NPR via email. "Biz created a legacy of artistry that will forever be celebrated by his industry peers and his beloved fans whose lives he was able to touch through music, spanning over 35 years."
Hall had reportedly been ill for months, but Izumi did not provide an official cause of death.
Biz came of age when rap was still young; a free-for-all in terms of approach and style, an era that seemed innocent yet was wildly progressive. He was born in Harlem before moving to Long Island in his early teens. An early introduction for those outside of New York, at least on film, was best captured in the 1986 Dutch hip-hop documentary, Big Fun in the Big Town. In it, we see a tall, lanky beatboxer in a hat emblazoned with big letters spelling out "Biz Markie." He's effusive onstage with fellow crewmate, Roxanne Shanté. They're doing exuberant back-and-forth routines as the camera zooms in on Biz, showcasing the innate ease at which he can pack a party and move a crowd through his voice and natural presence.
He was an early standout in the Juice Crew, a dazzling collective led by producer Marley Marl, a visionary who assembled a team so adept and rich in character it would only be rivaled in the modern age by the otherworldliness of Wu-Tang Clan. The crew, whose affiliates were mostly out of Queensbridge, was founded by radio DJ Mr. Magic and subsequently placed on Tyrone Williams' record label, Cold Chillin' Records. Their first release, 1984's "Roxanne's Revenge," was produced by Marley and featured a 15-year-old Roxanne Shante. The charismatic release became a hit and is largely responsible for Juice Crew's early strides.
The young proto-supergroup consisted of several eventual greats — Big Daddy Kane, Kool G Rap, Masta Ace, MC Shan and others. They were the vanguard of their day, a formidable team who emboldened the new school amid rap's explosive mid-'80s popularity. Each member possessed distinct traits. If Kane was the dancing playboy and G Rap the hustler, Biz was the jester, the comic relief in a crew of serious rhyme experts. His delivery was never as dexterous as the others, but he'd use props and costumes to exploit his size, pushed the mic into his neck while beatboxing and made himself the butt of jokes. In a world of braggadocio, his self-deprecation was a refreshing contrast, decidedly humble, a theme he never strayed too far from for the rest of his career. He's warmly dubbed by many as hip-hop's "clown prince."
Biz's first official solo album was 1988's Goin' Off, a debut produced by Marley Marl, anchored by singles that remain among his best; "Make the Music with Your Mouth, Biz," "Nobody Beats the Biz," as well as "Vapors," a hilarious four-verse tale of success and envy that proved to be a hit. In the song's final stanza, he endearingly laments: "I say, 'Can I be down, champ?' They said 'No!' and treated me like a wet food stamp."
The Biz Never Sleeps, his sophomore effort, generated not only Markie's most-known song, but also one of rap's most enduring, "Just A Friend." It brilliantly sampled Freddie Scott's "You Got What I Need" and became his biggest single, eventually charting at No. 9 on Billboard. In the music video, Biz dons a powdered wig, gloriously impersonating Mozart on the piano. It was a story-rap about constant rejection, bolstered by an earworm of a chorus. Biz is pictured weeping on the cover of the 12-inch single; big frown, handkerchief and all.
I Need A Haircut, the followup to Biz Never Sleeps, is largely remembered for a court decision on copyright law: Singer-songwriter Gilbert O'Sullivan sued Biz and his record label, Warner Bros., for unauthorized usage of his 1972 hit, "Alone Again (Naturally)." The result was a landmark decision that tightened sampling laws thereafter, making all future rap (and all music) releases adhere to stringent licensing rules. Copies of I Need A Haircut were pulled from store shelves, making it a disappointment, despite bright moments— chief among them "Alone Again," the song that got them in trouble and left the entire industry shook. His next release was impishly titled, All Samples Cleared!
As the '90s came to an end, it was clear that Biz had been ingrained within hip-hop, but also beyond. He had admirers, including the Beastie Boys, who featured him on three of their projects; Check Your Head (1992), Ill Communication (1994) and Hello Nasty (1998). He was sampled by the Rolling Stones on "Anybody Seen My Baby," where his vocals were added to the song's middle sequence. He also appeared on reality TV (Celebrity Fit Club) and on pop radio in songs like Len's "Beautiful Day" from 1999.
Biz's final studio album, Weekend Warrior, arrived in 2003 and saw him working with producers 45 King and J-Zone, but he made the lion's share of beats. A prominent appearance by P. Diddy affirmed his ennobled status. The album includes a charming late-era track ("Chinese Food"), in which he eulogizes Aaliyah and Lisa "Left Eye" Lopez in the intro, before listing all his favorite Chinese dishes in the chorus.
He appeared in the movies too, playing an intercosmic version of himself in Men In Black II. On television, he had a recurring role on the music-centric kid's program, Yo Gabba Gabba! In a charming segment called "Biz's Beat of the Day" he does short instructionals on how to beatbox, often in costume. He also opened for Chris Rock on his No Apologies tour. There were popular t-shirts that widely sold with his face and now famous reactionary quip, "Oh Snap!" When his fandom was at an all-time high, dolls with his likeness, cereal boxes and action figures all became collectable items.
Until word of his recent hospitalization in late July of 2020, you could find Biz on social media, posting toys from his collection or playing 45s while dressed in a onesie. He still toured and did legacy shows and guest appearances seemingly often. He'd post show flyers, vintage ones that felt historical or current ones from tech conventions. There's also pictures of him and fellow legends like Slick Rick and Rakim. His behemoth grin and comedic energy intact, vital as it was in that aforementioned 1986 Dutch documentary.
In 2005, an independent rapper named Edan predicted the coming of this awful day through a track called "Funky Voltron," saying: "'Cause when the beats sound iffy and the kids bark live / It'll be a sad day like when the Bizmark dies." For over 30 years Biz projected joie di vivre easily through humor that was always wholesome and good spirited. His artistry felt inclusive, he wanted us to laugh, to be entertained by his toys and record collection and beats and songs and jokes and the faces he'd make. And we were.

Record producer Jonathan Wilson recorded his new album Gentle Spirit during little slivers of time when the artists he was working with — among them songwriter Jackson Browne and the rock band Dawes — were on break. The project took him four years to finish, and it's the musical equivalent of a landscape painting.
One day during the making of Gentle Spirit, Wilson rigged up a microphone to record the sounds of a rainstorm outside his studio in Laurel Canyon, Calif. He was drawn to the pelting rhythm of the rain, but says he wanted to capture something more elusive — a rush of wind, the lonesome essence of this place where he'd been writing songs.
The album is a carefully drawn series of landscapes and nature scenes. In "Can We Really Party Today," he brings listeners inside the beauty of places he's known — describing honeysuckle on the vine in his native North Carolina or the swamps of southern Louisiana.
Though he didn't set out to be a singer-songwriter, Wilson has the tools. He slips sneaky, profound observations into ordinary-seeming lyrics. He's clearly influenced by the Laurel Canyon sound of the early 1970s — there's a touch of Neil Young's idealism, along with Joni Mitchell's sweeping melodies — but he's got his own sound.
The first thing that jumps out about the aptly titled Gentle Spirit is its tranquility. Wilson is the opposite of those contemporary singer-songwriters who fixate, endlessly, on personal hurts. While those guys sit and brood, Wilson makes like Thoreau, seeking perspective through nature. He brings back idyllic, delicately shaded landscapes and atmospheres that encourage the mind to wander.

Abstract: The latest Android mobile phone under Google's flagship phone line, the Nexus family, currently has a diagonal screen size of 4.65 inches (118.1mm). This follows a trend that Google started with the HTC Dream / T-Mobile G1 — their first Android flagship phone. Released in 2008, it had a diagonal screen size of only 3.2 inches (81.3mm). Since then, screen sizes in Google's Nexus line have grown at an average rate of 0.48 inches (12.2mm) per year.
I. Introduction
In 2008, HTC released the first Android phone, the HTC Dream on T-Mobile[1]. Known as the G1, this phone kicked off the Android revolution. At the time, it featured a screen size of only 3.2 inches (81.3mm) — which is rather paltry by today's standards. Since then, subsequent releases of Android phones by Google and its partners have featured larger and larger screen sizes, culminating with the Samsung Galaxy Nexus[2], announced earlier this week in Hong Kong.
II. Methods
For this experiment, we only used specifications data provided by Google and its partners to determine the screen size. We listed each of Google's flagship phone ordered by release date. Then we divided the total change is screen size by the total number of years.
From there, we're able to extrapolate the potential screen size of future Android phones.
III. Results
Here is data from all of Google's stock Android phones.
- T-Mobile G1 (2008) – 3.2 inch
- Nexus One[3] (2010) – 3.7 inch
- Nexus S[4] (2010) – 4.0 inch
- Galaxy Nexus (2011) – 4.65 inch
We see that over the course of 3 years, Google's phones have gained a total of 1.45 inches (36.8mm). This factors out to an average growth rate of 0.48 inches (12.2mm) per year. With this result, we can now predict the screen size of Android devices over time.
- 2012 – 5.13 inches (130mm)
- 2013 – 5.61 inches (142.5mm)
- 2014 – 6.09 inches (154.7mm)
- 2015 – 6.57 inches (166.9mm)
- 2020 – 8.97 inches (227.8mm)
IV. Conclusion
Over the last few years, it's clear to see that the market has spoken with regard to its preferences over the size of mobile devices. Google has recognized consumer's preference for larger devices and has moved toward a "bigger-is-better" strategy for mobile phones. At the current rate of growth for Android phones, by 2022, they will eclipse the 9.7 inch screen (246.4mm) size of Apple's tablet, the iPad[5].
V. Footnotes
Seeing this post on Gizmodo earlier today made realize something. Android phones are getting bigger and bigger. So, I decided to write this tongue in cheek "research paper" to highlight the increasing "screen bloat" of Android devices. Bring on the 9.7 inch phones, baby! 2022 can't come soon enough.

JP Morgan Breach Affects Millions, Shows the Need for Secure Web Apps
The breach of investment banking firm JP Morgan Chase in October has caused the leak of one of the largest number of records to date. It affected an estimated 76 million households and 7 million small businesses, the resulting total of which is already half the total number of households in the United States.
In an SEC statement, the company disclosed the compromise of user contact information, which includes the names, addresses, phone numbers, email addresses, and others. The company found no evidence that account information—such as account numbers, passwords, user IDs, dates of birth or Social Security numbers – was compromised
Though the time frame of the actual breach is unclear, it was believed that the attacks focused on servers housing sensitive information of customers who accessed the sites chase.com or jpmorgan.com these past years. Threat actors were able to find ways to infiltrate the memories of more than 90 servers of the company. They also got their hands on a list of apps and programs used in JP Morgan systems, which they likely double-checked for available flaws they can use.
For companies whose business relies heavily on strict customer information policies, breaches like this have big consequences. Apart from its initial response after the breach, JP Morgan seeks to positively restore its brand reputation by doubling their security spending from US$ 250 million (£156 million) annually in 2014 to US$ 500 million (£311 million) in five years.
Meanwhile, authorities started to investigate the JP Morgan attack last August, following a possible trend of coordinated attacks against other financial institutions. Apart from financial institutions, similar breaches of this magnitude have been constantly on the front pages, following the predicted pattern of one major data breach happening every month.
Upon closer scrutiny, the breach was indeed accomplished through flaws found in web applications used by the bank. More specifically, they attacked through a zero-day vulnerability or a new flaw which was present in the affected websites then. This flaw has since been patched.
What stands out in the JP Morgan breach (along with a couple of other recent, notable breach incidents) is the attackers' point of entry: flaws in web applications.
Web applications are popular among business owners for a number of reasons. For one, they are convenient and easy to use, especially for facilitating common business operations such as managing customer relations, maintaining internal communications among employees, or digitizing business records. As they are housed in Internet servers, web applications are also accessible for employees who wish to work whenever and wherever they want—another picture of how common mobility and the cloud run most businesses today.
What's Wrong with Web Apps?
The JP Morgan Chase breach is not an isolated incident. We have been seeing an ongoing trend of companies being attacked using flaws found in web apps. This often leads to business disruption, tampered brand image, or loss of critical information.
Since the tech buzzword "Web 2.0" was born, the Internet has evolved into a space that appears to be free, more open, and "stateless" in nature. Curiously, web applications developers has translated this into focusing first on the glitz and glamour of producing shiny new software. Security almost always comes in second, if not an afterthought.
A number of the reported breaches and DDoS incidents in the second quarter of 2014 were results of web app vulnerabilities.

Conducting business via web apps on the Internet introduces a plethora of risks that are damaging to companies. Critical and complex business processes are becoming more dependent on applications that connect to the Internet, essentially putting multiple copies of data at risk.
Users may encounter issues they can't solve with web applications that developers no longer support. The same goes for users of legacy applications that are prone to flaws. Problems also arise from web apps that lack security checks, developed in-house, or are coded without security in mind.
From what we've seen of recent attacks, focusing on web app flaws alone still won't be enough. Web servers themselves are open to attacks, as we've seen in August 2014 when users from Japan who thought they were adding script for social media sharing buttons on their sites. They ended up adding script of a Flash exploit kit hosted in an external server instead.
Servers of web applications have also become victim to similar attacks. The Verizon 2014 Data Breach Investigation Report reveals that 35% of breaches they tracked in 2013 were due to web application attacks.
Security First Approach
Web apps and servers are mainstays in the business world. Because of this, the problem calls out for actions from everyone who may be involved in creating and using them.
To secure web applications, IT admins need to enforce good baseline web, application, and database server security practices. Ask if you really need all the services that are set to run on web servers, if only relevant ports are enabled, if passwords are strong, and access is limited.
Of course, updating security patches is an established security standard. However, in cases that involve widespread impact or scenarios where patching is difficult and costly, vulnerability and application shielding comes in handy. This can take advantage of technologies like Intrusion Prevention (IPS) to protect from external attacks while companies wait for official patches. Adding a web application firewall and regularly scanning for known and potential bugs can also help form a multi-layered approach to security.
From what we have learned of threats like Shellshock and Heartbleed, taking proactive steps that go beyond traditional perimeter security and basic patching is the key to protecting web applications.
