The information you need to start your day, from PaymentsSource and around the Web:
Walmart delivers a weapon to battle Amazon: Walmart has made several moves as it battles Amazon's foray into groceries following the e-commerce giant's acquisition of Whole Foods. Walmart's latest move is a deal with Instacart to support same-day delivery for its Sam's Club warehouse stores. The service will start in Austin, Dallas-Fort Worth and St. Louis. Consumers will be able to shop at Sam's Clubs without a membership and will be eligible for same-day delivery. Walmart also has its own delivery service, which started in New York last year.
Jack Dorsey's 'secret weapon' joins another company: Pinterest has hired Francoise Brougher to be chief operating officer, reports TechCrunch, which adds Pinterest will likely make use of Brougher's experience working with merchant clients as it adds more services in that sector, such as a visual search tool. Brougher was most recently business lead at Square and also served as vice president of small to medium-sized business sales and operations at Google. While at Square, Brougher was called CEO Jack Dorsey's "secret weapon" given her expertise with business data analysis.
Visa tries on jewelry: Visa's contactless payments push has reached deeper into Europe, as the card brand has entered deals with the National Bank of Greece and CaixaBank to support payments through jewelry and watches. The National Bank of Greece and Visa will work with Folli Follie and Links of London to build rings and bracelets that can make payments at any contactless point of sale terminal. Visa's collaboration with CaixaBank includes support of Garmin smartwatch payments in Spain later this year.
Kicking the tires, with no contact: Mastercard's interest in embedding payments into web-connected cars already includes a partnership with General Motors, and the automaker is adding a partnership with SAP and its Connected Vehicles Network platform. The partnership will support in-car payments for parking, fuel, food ordering and delivery through a series of pilot programs in U.S. cities. Mastercard is also working with Postmates to offer on-demand food ordering and delivery from vehicles.

Rakuten will roll its $9B loyalty program into a new blockchain-based cryptocurrency, Rakuten Coin
TechCrunch | Tue Feb 27, 2018 - Back in 2016, Amazon's Japanese rival Rakuten acquired Bitnet, a bitcoin wallet startup that it had previously invested in, to help it work on blockchain technology and applications. Today, one of the first fruits of that deal has come to light. The company is planning a new cryptocurrency called Rakuten Coin — built on blockchain technology and the company's existing loyalty program, Rakuten Super Points — which it plans to use to encourage loyalty services globally and to help customers to buy goods across different Rakuten services and markets. The news was announced by Rakuten's CEO Hiroshi "Mickey" Mikitani on stage at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, where he described Rakuten Coin as a "borderless" currency.
Fintech startup Pagaya raises $75 million in debt finance from Citi
Reuters | Tue Feb 27, 2018 - Pagaya Investments, a U.S.-Israeli financial technology provider that uses machine learning and big data analytics to manage institutional money, said on Tuesday it raised $75 million in debt financing from Citi. Founded in 2016, Pagaya has raised $200 million in capital, mainly from institutional investors. The company also said it has created the Opportunity Fund, a leveraged fund suite created by Pagaya using the debt financing. Prosper, an online lending platform, will sell loans to the Opportunity Fund, Pagaya said.
JPMorgan Chase Admits Cryptocurrency Is a 'Risk' to its Business for the First Time
Fortune | Tue Feb 27, 2018 - Despite JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon having called Bitcoin a "fraud," the big bank is now taking cryptocurrency very seriously—acknowledging the blockchain-based technology as a veritable threat to its future. In JPMorgan Chase's annual report, released Tuesday afternoon, the bank counted cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum as "risk factors" to its business for the first time, recognizing the digital currencies as new forms of competition that could, quite literally, give the bank a run for its money.

Week Ends With Win
Luc Richard Mbah a Moute chipped in six points and nine big rebounds, and the Milwaukee Bucks extended their win streak to five on Thursday night with a 112-110 win over the Indiana Pacers.
Luc split his boards nearly equally between the offensive and defensive glass. He pulled down four rebounds on the offensive board and five more on the defensive end. He also added a theft of Earl Watson early in the first quarter and a block of Danny Granger late in the contest.
With his in-your-face-defense, No. 12 helped hold Granger, who averages nearly 23 points per game, under his average at 21 points. 7 of those 21 came at the charity stripe.
With the Thursday night win, the Bucks take over the No. 7 spot in the Eastern Conference and inch closer to the playoffs. The Bucks are above .500 (29-28) for the first time since December 2nd when they were 9-8.
The game was close with just over one second left. Milwaukee led by four when Bucks' guard Luke Ridnour fouled T.J. Ford on a three-point shot. After Ford made the first two and cut the lead to two, he intentionally missed his third and final free throw trying to get his team a rebound and a quick score to tie the game.
However, forward Carlos Delfino was able to get the rebound and ended a close scare for the Bucks.
Still a very young squad, the Bucks lack playoff experience and if nothing else comes out of this season, experience is what Head Coach Scott Skiles wants his team to gain, as he told WSSP in Milwaukee:
« We want to talk to Brandon Jennings, Andrew Bogut, Luc Mbah a Moute and Ersan Ilyasova about hey this is what it's gonna take to get in the playoffs and this is what you're gonna have to do in the summer to get better if you wanna be a high level team, that's great and they're good guys and they'll listen, but until they go through it, realize the way that the level of play raises up, there's nothing like that.
« Then once they go through it, it's amazing what happens to guys like that in the summer. They really get after the development of their game and they start making strides as a player. »
It was a strong week for Luc and the Bucks as they swept through with wins in New York and Indiana, sandwiched around a home victory against the New Orleans Hornets.
Luc doubled his pleasure in the first two games of the week. He posted dueling 11's on the boards and in the bucket Monday night at Madison Square Garden, then came back with a pair of tens, 10 rebounds and 10 points, against New Orleans on Wednesday.
Here are some of the highlights from mbahamoute12.com:
• 2.23.20 / Doubling Up
No. 12 recorded a double-double in a big win vs. the Knicks.
• 2.25.10 / Two Tens for Luc
Luc got his second straight double-double and Bucks extended their win streak to four.
This weekend the Bucks face two tough matchups. They'll have off tonight but go on the road Saturday to face the Heat in Miami followed by a formidable matchup against the always-dangerous Joe Johnson in Atlanta on Sunday.
Tip-off in Miami is at 2:30 CST, and catch Sunday's game versus the Hawks at 5:00 CST. You can see all the action on FSN Wisconsin.

Reblogging for future reference.
'Protestant Metaphysics after Karl Barth and Martin Heidegger', by Timothy Stanley, Cascade Books, $35.00 296 pp.
I must confess that of all possible reactions that seemed likely for me to have towards this book, being very impressed with it was not one I anticipated. After reading it and spending some time reflecting on it, however, I think it's safe to say that this is a very important work. There is a lot of ground covered in these pages, at times in a fairly dense manner, but it is worth working through in a slow and steady manner. Interestingly enough, this book may be more of an exercise in Luther interpretation than of Heidegger-ian/Barth-ian metaphysics: the trajectory of both Heidegger and Barth is shown to turn on their respective interpretations of the German Reformer. This, to me anyway, shows that the interpretation of Luther is of primary importance for…

Understanding Auto Insurance Requirements in Illinois
In Illinois, it is required that all motor vehicle driver carry an auto insurance policy that meets or exceeds the minimum liability limits. This shows that the driver can pay for and cover any damages in an accident that they cause or are determined to be at fault in. Illinois is slightly different from other states in that you also need to carry uninsured motorist coverage. Auto insurance policies are mandatory for any driver in the state, unless you own at least 27 cars in the state.
If you are asked to prove you have insurance, you can do so by providing your insurance identification card from auto insurers in Chicago or a copy of the insurance policy declaration page. There are only two instances where you should be asked to verify this information. The first is through something called the Illinois insurance questionnaire sampling process. This is sent randomly to drivers asking for their policy number and insurer name. If you do not have insurance, you will have your license plate suspended.
The other instance is if you are ever pulled over. The officer can ask to see your insurance along with your identification.
The required liability insurance minimums are listed below:
- Bodily Injury – Minimum of $25,000 per person injured or $50,000 for two or more injured.
- Property Damage – Minimum of $20,000 in property damage costs for any accident.
- Uninsured Motorist Bodily Injury – The same limits as Bodily Injury except this coverage is for you.
- Underinsured Motorist Bodily Injury – Typically optional, but some variance can apply.
In addition to the required coverage, there are many optional coverage possibilities. Most of these are in place to protect you if you get in an accident, while others protect your automobile from damages. Here are some of the most commonly offered:
- Comprehensive Coverage – Covers car repair costs for damages other than collisions.
- Collision Coverage – Covers your costs of car repair after a collision accident.
- Medical Payments – Takes care of medical expenses originating from a vehicle accident, no matter who was responsible.
- Uninsured Motorist Property Damage – Covers any property damage from an accident with an uninsured motorist.
If you're looking for excellent auto insurers in Chicago, you can't go wrong with Great Northern Insurance Agency, Inc. We offer all sorts of insurance but specialize in auto insurance and SR-22 insurance. To learn more about us, you can read us at 773-838-3900.

Last week, a recent college grad asked me: "How can a non-technical founder be CEO of a tech company?" I decided to explore the topic, and the results are surprising.
Obviously, phenomenal Silicon Valley-based startups have been founded by computer science majors. Larry Page and Sergei Brin (Google). Reed Hastings (Netflix). If you look beyond California, there's Bezos (Amazon) who studied computer science and electrical engineering at Princeton.
But many successful startups have succeeded without a techie in the founder, CEO role. They include well-known names like Alibaba, Lyft, Peloton, Stitchfix, and Box …

December 29 – Am not getting a lot done today so far. Have mostly been looking through magazines and catalogs and throwing them onto the spare bed, and assume our son will be the inheritor of most of them.
Chris has been doing a lot of e-mail, and just quit for a while. Cat is lying on the rug in the living room and seems very contented, but has been playing around and was very frisky and prone to grab onto pant legs and do a little scratching. She has been in and out several times and for a while lay in the bird feeder but gave that up as no customers were arriving.
Grandson Kevin lent me his seed catalog from Baker Creek and I've been looking through it and admiring all the strange and rare seeds listed, but don't think I am going to order any more seeds as I already have too many. Baker Creek didn't send me their catalog this year (maybe because I didn't order any seeds last year), and their catalog is very large and fancy and must be expensive.
Chris has just found my display case of unusual seeds that I had in the basement and has taken some pictures of it. It has been hidden under other stuff and she didn't even know that I had it. There are a number of African seeds in it, and some big ones we collected on a beach when we were in Nicaragua briefly on our way back to the USA in 1945.
Have a happy Monday! – DALE

Millions will never forgive Blair for the war. But even before the war, his policies turned people against New Labour. Helen Shooter looks at seven years of betrayal
JUST MONTHS after the cheering at Labour's 1997 election victory died down, the government cut lone parents' benefit. Just weeks later disabled people chained themselves to the Downing Street gates to protest at cuts to their benefit. The government began bullying people on benefits and forcing the sick and older people into medical tests. In March 2000 Martin Watson from Manchester said, 'To be unemployed today is to feel like a hunted animal. Listen to any speech by a Labour minister. Unemployed equals workshy, unemployed equals lazy, unemployed equals don't want a job. I was an engineer for 35 years. Then I lost my job because the bus company was privatised. The way Labour goes on about the unemployed makes it much worse. I think they're just like the Tory bastards.'
There are two million 'hidden unemployed' in Britain, excluded from work while New Labour boasts about 'full employment'. Homelessness increased by 31 percent under New Labour, according to the campaign group Shelter. Shelter also pointed out that a million children are growing up in housing that is so squalid it is damaging their health and education.
Blair's government has ensured there is now the lowest level of house building since the Second World War, and new council housing has all but disappeared. Housing activist Charlie McCormick said, 'Tory Blair-that's what I call him. He has sold his soul. They are selling off council houses. It is a criminal act. 'Our forefathers fought for public housing. What right have they to sell it off? In Glasgow we have some of the poorest constituencies in Britain. Eighty three percent of families are on some sort of benefit. This is Tory Blair's wonderful Britain. It is not working.'
ONCE, 'REFORMING' something meant improving it. Tony Blair has killed that. His 'reforms' of healthcare and education mean worse services, underfunding and more big business control. In Gordon Brown's first budget in July 1997 he insisted New Labour would stick to Tory spending limits for two years.
After Labour were re-elected in June 2001 Blair said his 'reform' programme would go 'beyond Thatcherism'. Gordon Brown echoed this, saying, 'Thatcher did not go far enough.' NHS worker Kay Young told Socialist Worker, 'The NHS is such an important service, but Labour has completely failed to give it the resources it desperately needs. Until recently I was a member of the Labour Party. I worked for Labour at the 1997 general election in Hertfordshire. But now I just feel utterly betrayed.'
In schools New Labour have continued the Tories' divisive policies. They have brought in greater selection in education, increased stress on pupils through tests, and mounting workloads for teachers. Brian Penney was a teacher in Lancaster. He told Socialist Worker, 'I was in the Labour Party for 30 years, from 1970 onwards. I was active in every by-election, council election and general election. I began to get disillusioned with Labour in their first term. There is a long list of reasons-trade union rights, the paucity of the minimum wage, PFI, student grants, the treatment of asylum seekers and, of course, education. I was a teacher. I said if Labour brought in performance-related pay I would resign from the Labour Party. They brought it in. I resigned from Labour in November 2000.' Blair's government has driven through a privatisation programme that the Tories could not get away with, including selling off air traffic control and London Underground lines. Profits came before safety and cost lives on the rail.
Seven people died in the 1997 Southall rail crash, 33 died in the Paddington crash in 1999, and four died in the Hatfield crash in 2000. The whole rail system was plunged into complete chaos from which it still has not recovered.
Instead of renationalising the rail, New Labour appointed another company, Network Rail, to run it, leaving the private companies in charge of the trains. This cost £80 million more than renationalising it would have. In 2002 the government waged war on the firefighters. Firefighter Phil Jordan from Gloucester wrote, 'As a firefighter I am at the end of my tether with the Labour Party, a party which I have been a member of for around 18 years. At our last FBU union conference our general secretary, Andy Gilchrist, argued strongly that the union had to continue to fund Labour, and only Labour. We voted loyally to stick with Labour. The government stepped in to scupper a potential deal and decided to attack the firefighters and their union. We expected a change under Labour and we got it-it's attack, attack, attack on our pay and conditions backed up by the threat of 10,000 job losses. Sickened by what the last few weeks have exposed about the party, I am leaving Labour.'
NEW LABOUR has repeatedly caved in to anti asylum seeker prejudice instead of confronting it head on. Blair's government has rammed through four major pieces of legislation attacking asylum seekers. Each one has given the right confidence to demand ever tougher measures, and encouraged the growth of the British National Party. New Labour has kept up its hostility, despite the death of 58 Chinese refugees who suffocated in the back of a lorry in Dover in 2000, and 23 Chinese cockle pickers who drowned in Morecambe Bay in February.
Home secretary David Blunkett plumbed new depths with his plan to hold the children of asylum seekers. Feriba Ahmadi's children were seized by Blunkett. She said, 'Last night my daughter just screamed in her sleep. My boy is very quiet and has said very little. I never thought England could be like this.'
Six year old Haida and her four year old brother Seera were visiting their mother and their father, Farid, in prison. The parents had been locked up by David Blunkett. He ordered that their children should also be jailed. The family were deported. In April 2002 Blunkett warned of asylum seekers 'swamping' schools and services, deliberately echoing the worst bigotry of Margaret Thatcher.
Such policies have sickened many Labour supporters. In 2000 Bill Morris, former leader of the TGWU union, attacked the government for 'giving life to racists'. Most of the major unions have now passed policies supporting the rights of refugees. New Labour fuels the climate of racism against both asylum seekers and Asian people.
After Asian people in Oldham and Bradford were forced to defend their communities in 2001 against racists, Blunkett called for exemplary sentences against them. In 2002 he demanded that Asian people speak English in their own homes. Blunkett turned on the BBC for showing a documentary that exposed police racism, The Secret Policeman. The government has brought in vicious anti-terror legislation that means all Asian people are targets.
Labour's legacy is to make a generation of young Asians feel like strangers in their own country.
NEW LABOUR'S 1997 promise of a 'foreign policy with an ethical dimension' is now a sick joke. In seven years Blair has gone to war four times. Blair joined US president Clinton in launching air strikes on Iraq in December 1998. They dropped 400 cruise missiles. Labour also supported sanctions on Iraq that have cost 5,000 Iraqi lives every month.
In March 1999 Blair joined the NATO attack on Serbia with devastating air strikes that pounded civilian targets. Blair and Bush launched their 'war on terror' against Afghanistan in September 2001. Many thousands were killed. The country is still run by rival warlords. Then in March last year Blair and Bush began their war and occupation of Iraq, which continues today.
This war provoked a massive anti-war movement. The war focused growing discontent. In March 2003 pensioner Eva Littlefair from Preston said, 'I first voted for the Labour Party in 1945. Since then, I never missed voting Labour in any election. I was disappointed with Blair even before he got elected because he dumped the red flag and Clause Four. Since then I have seen things just falling away. This isn't the party I loved and that me and my husband worked so hard for through the 1950s and 1960s. Labour said they were spending millions on the NHS but I was a nurse, my daughter is a nurse, and my granddaughter is a nurse-we know what is happening. All these things made us fall out with Tony Blair. I left the Labour Party after 58 years.'
Police stop and search rates for Asian people in London increased by over 41 percent between 2001 and 2002.
For black people the rate was 30 percent up and for white people it was 8 percent up.
Under New Labour black people are still eight times more likely to be stopped and searched than white people.
By 2002 students taking their A levels were the most tested pupils ever to get through the education system. They had endured 105 exams.
New Labour brought in £1,000 tuition fees and top-up fees of up to £3,000 a year.
The average debt for students leaving university is expected to be a mimimum of £15,000.
In 2002 figures showed inequality was 10 percent higher under New Labour than under the Tories.
Last December New Labour abandoned its pledge to end child poverty by 2020.
Britain has one of the highest rates of child poverty in the industrialised world.
In April a select committee reported that 3.6 million children live in poverty in this country.
In 1999 New Labour insulted pensioners with a 75p a week rise in pensions.
'New Labour has done nothing for pensioners,' said Ted. 'We had enough from 18 years of the Tories. We've had Blair for three years and nothing has changed. I would never vote for New Labour again and there are millions of other pensioners who feel the same.'
New Labour imposed humiliating means tests on pensioners.
Blair refuses to restore the link between pensions and earnings, broken by Margaret Thatcher. That would mean pensioners got an extra £51 a week.
Blair wants to make thousands of public sector workers work an extra five years before they retire.
Labour stands back while private companies strip away the pensions that workers have paid into for decades.
How trade unionists fell out with new labour
Blair tells a business conference that public sector workers have 'put scars on his back'.
David Blunkett tells workers to stop their 'hysteria' over job losses as the sackings mount up.
30,000 trade unionists march in Newcastle for a decent minimum wage for young and old.
Labour weakens legislation limiting working hours. 'I have nothing but four letter words to say about New Labour,' says a trade unionist.
100,000 march against the closure of Longbridge car plant in Birmingham.
Left winger Mark Serwotka elected general secretary of civil servants' union.

How to turn Boxer (Girl) Adult Costume into a lady kickboxer
The long trunks ad the vintage tennis shoes are unappropriate for a glamour costume. A pair of high heel mules can turn it to a kickboxing costume. A red boxing head gear, as this Wildorf one, can improve in realism the costume. A tennis Price tank with a prince skort could set a nice combination up.
So it is possible usefully recycle seaside footwear or tennis items.
The mules are supposed to be worn out of the ring, from and to the dressing room.

|I've said too much
— Charlie
Charles "Charlie" Telphy is a supporting protagonist in Black-ish and the deuteragonist in Grown-ish. In Black-ish, he used to be one of Andre's co-workers until he quit. In Grown-ish, he's a teacher of the drone class in the university. Charlie is portrayed by Deon Cole.
Charlie first appears on the series in Black-ish episode three, "The Nod," as a new account manager at the firm of Stevens & Lido.
After getting hit by a car and winning a large settlement, Charlie became "the breadwinner for my family at the age of 8." ("The Gift of Hunger")
Charlie has a son named Eustace whom he sometimes calls "Useless." ("The Nod") Charlie bought a jet ski in his son's name and ruined the child's credit. He then had to get rid of the jet ski because the manager of his building "said it was taking up too much room in the pool." ("The Peer-ent Trap")
Charlie states that he is going through a "pretty nasty divorce" after his wife cheated on him and then shot him. ("The Nod") He states that at one time his wife got pregnant accidentally, but it turned out that the baby wasn't his child. ("Sex, Lies and Vasectomies")
He has a brother who is "not gay or nothin'," but Charlie "was the best man at he and his lifelong roommate Gustavo's health insurance consolidation party last summer on Fire Island." ("Please Don't Ask, Please Don't Tell")
Though he denies having two families, Charlie has "two groups of people in two different parts of the country that I gots to love exactly the same" and needs "to have half my paycheck sent to a P.O. Box in Phoenix for unrelated reasons." ("Oedipal Triangle")
Charlie claims to know RuPaul, Barack Obama, Maya Angelou, Halle Berry, Andre 3000, Busta Rhymes, Mike Tyson, George Foreman III through VI, the "'the rent is too damn high' guy," Condoleezza Rice, and Michael Jordan. He calls Dionne Warwick a "wonderful woman" and a "generous lover." ("The Prank King")
Charlie was in love with a woman named Dominique, whom he shared a romantic relationship with. In order to win her heart, he went along with Junior's plan to pretend to own a luxurious lifestyle, but in the end he was angry with himself for lying but consequently pushed her away. However, she visited him in his apartment and the two reconciled, before allegedly going to Catalina. ("Charlie in Charge")
On the Job
Prior to his employment at Stevens & Lido, Charlie worked for Starbucks in Washington. He credits his relocation and job change with saving his life after "a lot of bad stuff happened up there in Seattle." ("The Nod")
According to Andre, Charlie takes every other Monday off and calls it "Double Sunday." ("Switch Hitting")
In "Black Santa/White Christmas," Charlie suggests planting cocaine in a coworker's desk, but when he learns that one can be fired for having cocaine at work, he leaves the room to "go take care of something unrelated." Later in the episode, at the Stevens & Lido Christmas party, he announces, "What's that I hear? Sleigh bells, baby! Definitely not sirens, 'cause I got that stuff out my desk."
Charlie once showed Andre and Rainbow JPEGS of his benign rectal polyps. ("The Nod")
He has been shot in both the face and the genitals, and if he had to choose which area to get shot in, he would "take face any day." As a result of this mishap, he has learned "never make yourself a grilled butter sandwich while cleaning your gun." ("Sex, Lies and Vasectomies")
He "had a botched circumcision a few years ago." ("The Real World")
He is allergic to peanuts. He keeps an EpiPen in his car, but his car was repossessed. ("The Real World")
Charlie doesn't have molars. As a result, "it's impossible for me to grind up food," and he has never eaten taffy. ("The Gift of Hunger")
Interests and Hobbies
Charlie likes the Dave Matthews Band. ("Elephant in the Room")
In reference to President Chester A. Arthur's reform of the Navy, he believes "that mess was off the chain." ("Black Santa/White Christmas")
He counts the grand opening of Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles as a black holiday. ("Martin Luther Skiing Day")
He wishes that there was a Black Jeopardy that would air after Black Wheel of Fortune but before The Black Blacklist. ("Martin Luther Skiing Day")
He considers both the movie Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star and hitchhiking "underrated." ("The Real World")
In the episode Andre From Marseille, Charlie asks Andre for $800, then inquires, "You ever lose your walk-around money at a cock fight?"
He puts hot sauce on Goldfish crackers and calls the snack "hot fish." ("Switch Hitting")
He plays on a "white-guy" basketball team and states that "these white guys are my hookup to things that brothers can't get -- nighttime dentists, hockey tickets, cure for AIDS, that black seat on the space ark when the world ends." ("30 Something")
He reveals to Dre he's the proud owner of two pitbull dogs, that he enters in dog shows and says have won best in show. He seems to be very proud of the dogs and affectionately named them, Peaches and Herb. ("Dog Eat Dog World")
Charlie claims that he had never seen snow until a ski trip with the Johnson family. ("Martin Luther Skiing Day")
When pulled over by a police officer, Charlie ambiguously says, "I'm not going back" and later mutters, "I'm glad that cop didn't look in the trunk. Game over. Twenty to life." ("Martin Luther Skiing Day")
While at a ski lodge with the Johnsons, he puts on dress slacks to go skiing. He intends to tuck the pants into his socks but then realizes he forgot his socks. ("Martin Luther Skiing Day")
He attends a party at Andre and Rainbow's house in part because he had "been locked out of my house for a few days." He shows up at the 8:00 p.m. party at 6:30 after hitchhiking to the event. Partway through the gathering, he goes into the kitchen and begins cooking an omelet. ("The Real World")
According to Andre, Charlie lives in his car and even put a humidifier inside the vehicle. ("Switch Hitting")
He believes that drowning is one of the worst ways to die: "It goes fire, drowning... then bees." ("Please Don't Ask, Please Don't Tell")
He thinks that the cut-off age for leaving a child at a fire station under the baby safe haven law is 4-1/2 years old. ("The Gift of Hunger")
He thought Ruby was Dre's father. ("Elder. Scam.")
He leaves an African American CPR dummy he named "Chauncey" in his office dressed as him whenever he goes out. According to him, the CPR dummy actually got him a raise at work and taught him CPR. ("Charity Case")
While at a company party, he said she used to fast as a kid. He would eat a big meal in November, and he didn't eat again until he woke up in the spring. Then he realized he was talking about bears, and repeatedly told himself to "Stop talking about bears in public." (Sugar Daddy)
Him and Diane
A running gag in the series is the dynamic between Charlie and Diane. Whenever they see each other, their greeting is this:
Diane: "Charles."
Charlie: "Diane."
Episodes: Switch Hitting, Martin Luther Skiing Day, Charlie in Charge, Sprinkles, Christmas in Theater Eight, Enough Is Enough.
It has been hinted that Charlie is terrified of Diane, while Diane very much dislikes the former. Charlie has wondered if Diane is a witch. ("Charlie in Charge")
Diane has also expressed interest in the idea of Charlie passing away. ("The Purge")
Quote: "So it's Diane who has the Internet? That evil child wants me dead. Now she can buy weapons and poison and bitcoins, and travel unencumbered down the Silk Road." ("Their Eyes Were Watching Screens")
He expressed excitement over the thought of Diane being gone. ("R-E-S-P-E-C-T")
In the episode, "Mother Nature," Charlie received a letter from Diane that she had his home address, and it would be the last mistake he made.
Over the discussion of Dre having daughters as a good thing, Charlie said that when it was time for Dre to pass away, Diane would put an air bubble in his I.V. ("Name Game")
Quote: "Diane's petty, and she's mean, and she messed up my meet-and-greet with Boyz II Men, but she's no loser." ("Scarred for Life")
Quote: "I too am afraid of Diane getting older. It's the older demons that are harder to get."

|How much do they pay you at Jowada? Only fifteen thousand rupees a month? A child couldn't live on that amount, and you have a wife and family. These people! They cheat the honest worker. Maybe it was time they learnt a lesson [...] But for you, my friend, it will mean a new life. Everything you ever wanted can be yours...
—Ravi Chandra being bribed
Ravindra Manpreet Chandra is a minor antagonist in Crocodile Tears.
Chandra has a family of young children whom he wanted to take to Disneyland but he is bribed by Desmond McCain via a friend of Ravi's cousin Jagdish who worked in the kitchen of a five-star hotel and a European to set off a bomb inside a power plant in Chennai, in order to poison the land and help McCain raise money for his fake charity. Chandra is told that the bomb has a ten minute delay, giving him enough time to plant it and escape. However, Chandra is betrayed by McCain, as there is in fact it is a suicide bomb and there is no delay. Therefore, Chandra is vaporized in the explosion.
Ravi Chandra dreamed of being rich and owning a large house with a fridge full of beer. Because of this greed he ended up almost destroying Chennai. Like almost all Indians he liked Bollywood, the Indian equivalent of Hollywood-to the extent that he had a pin up of the Bollywood heroine Shilpa Shetty pinned up in his locker, perhaps unbeknownst to his wife. He also watched sport, and wanted to watch cricket in London.

Alexander McQueen, S/S 2001 Voss
This curation has arrived to my favourite Alexander McQueen show ever. A Gothic influence yet a contemporary staging, which captivated the audience in its largest sense of the world as they felt trapped within their own mirrored reflection and saw the models trapped within the box. The box – "a recreation of a psychiatric hospital in a London warehouse, complete with padded cells and surveillance mirrors – Voss' catwalk was inspired by Death Row." Lee himself saw this as one of his finest moments, to be able to turn the fashion world on themselves, and he kept them staring at their own reflection for two hours in attendance of the show (meanwhile he was giggling backstage). Another word for the scenery used by the brand and the press was the one of asylum: a sanctuary of peace and a housing for the insane.
Adding to the wonder of the show, an installation inside the box (inside the box) of the Joel Peter Witkin painting Sanitarium was re-created, with the writer Michelle Olley inside of it, nude and covered in moths.
This has inspired me so much that I am myself working on an installation and a play using this simple but effectful technology: of seeing while being seen.
Joel Peter Witkin, Sanitarium, 1983
And there is nothing like it after that in fashion, however in theatre:
Botho Strauss, Big and Small, (1978) 2011
Ivan Navarro, Reality Show, 2010

Motown the Musical at the Civic Theater in San Diego. Here is George Varga's review in the San Diego Union-Tribune. The play was based on Barry Gordy's book and is a very nostalgic view of the history of Gordy and Motown.
But hey, Mary Kit and I were there for the nostalgia and did this musical ever deliver the music! The songs and singing performances were electric and still have us humming the tunes we grew up with on the radio. I'm sure many of these songs will be in my head for weeks as I put this Motown playlist together for this blog.
The Funk Brothers, I do want to mention their impact to the world of popular music in the 1960's and early 70's. The Funk Brothers, were hand-picked studio musicians assembled by Gordy in 1959 to be the house band for all the recordings done at Motown in Detroit (Hitsville... USA), until Gordy moved Motown to Los Angles in 1972. The Funk Brothers were not invited to join Motown in Los Angeles. This is all brought to light in the 2002 documentary, Standing in the Shadows of Motown about The Funk Brothers, which I highly recommend. I believe I saw it on Showtime several months ago, but currently I can't find it being played on TV or freely streamed on any service. (Here is the Amazon Prime rent price of $2.99 and purchase price for $5.99 if you are interested.)
This week is also the traditional time of year for K-12 school to end and celebrate high school graduation. I can't think of a better way to kick off the summer with a playlist of all my favorite Motown songs on YouTube. Motown the Musical uses the promo line, "A beat of a generation. A soul of the nation." So now, enjoy all these wonderful artists' enduring songs with the beat and soul of the Funk Brothers backing them up.

Ever since I got my Squeezebox 2 a couple of weeks ago, I have been experiencing router crashes at least daily. I have a Linksys 2.4GHz Wireless "G" router that had never crashed in the four months I had owned it prior to hooking up Squeezebox. The crashes always occur when I am doing something with Slimserver or Squeezebox, like selecting songs from the remote or trying to connect to Slimserver on my desktop from my laptop. When it crashes, Squeezebox2 goes black and every connection from my router is down (including the wired connection to my desktop). Unplugging and repowering the router restores all of the connections.
Any advice is resolving this would be appreciated.

The key provisions of the rule are:
- Reduces the permissible exposure limit (PEL) for beryllium to 0.2 micrograms per cubic meter of air, averaged over 8-hours.
- Establishes a new short term exposure limit for beryllium of 2.0 micrograms per cubic meter of air, over a 15-minute sampling period.
- Requires employers to: use engineering and work practice controls (such as ventilation or enclosure) to limit worker exposure to beryllium; provide respirators when controls cannot adequately limit exposure; limit worker access to high-exposure areas; develop a written exposure control plan; and train workers on beryllium hazards.
- Requires employers to make available medical exams to monitor exposed workers and provides medical removal protection benefits to workers identified with a beryllium-related disease.

Like many other new technologies, the concept of security orchestration, automation, and response (SOAR) solutions was born out of a problem that dogged IT professionals. However, in this case, it was multiple problems that couldn't be solved with existing solutions.
Gartner, who is credited with coining the term, defines SOAR as "technologies that enable organizations to collect security threats data and alerts from different sources," where technology and professionals can combine to analyze incidents, triage issues, and drive responses in a standard way.
Though this may sound like a security incident and event management (SIEM) tool, SOAR is different in two major ways than just the log aggregation and alerting SIEMs are built for:
Security Orchestration: SOARs integrate tools so they can work together and provide a comprehensive view of an environment. This information can combine with external threat data so users can drill down to find root causes faster.
Security Automation: SOARs can automatically perform tasks such as provision users and search logs without staff involvement.
So, how can SOAR help your organization stay ahead of the growing number of cyberthreats? Here are six of the most impactful ways:
Increased Efficiency
Unifying all the tools and security data makes investigation not only faster, but also easier. For example, SOARs can independently investigate lower threats and only escalate high-level alarms for staff involvement. Once staff gets involved, all of the data and tools are already in a simplified dashboard.
The same can be said of the issue of false positives that can waste time and desensitize staff. SOAR tools help by only elevating true emergencies while handling all others based on established thresholds and workflows.
Integrating Existing Tools
Most security operations centers (SOCs) have tools from a range of vendors, some of which do not integrate well together. SOARs perform this integration, both among internal solutions and with external threat intelligence and analysis. This hurdle alone is what drives many IT professionals to consider SOAR.
When ESG Research asked IT professionals why they wanted SOAR solutions, 28 percent said they wanted to use security automation/orchestration technology to correlate and contextualize data using the output of two or more tools. Similarly, 30 percent reported wanting to use security automation/orchestration technology to add functionality on top of existing tools. Typically, this functionality is centered on orchestrating workflows relating to security investigations, incident response, or remediation tasks.
Improved Response Times
SOAR tools speed up the incident response time to cyberattacks by pulling all of a SOC's tools together into one unified dashboard so staff can cut through the noise and drill down to the root cause of the attack. Security professionals can then make decisions in a collaborative way and utilize the integrative nature of SOAR tools to take the needed defensive and containment measures more quickly.
Reduces Manual Processes and Risk of Error
In addition to handling false alarms, security professionals spend a lot of time doing manual and repetitive tasks, from checking and updating rules to adding and removing users. These tasks are ripe for the automation built into SOAR tools.
That's where the workflow capabilities, or the orchestration of multiple tools, of SOAR solutions can help to free up a lot of staff time so they can focus on more value-added activities. For example, the SOAR solution can request updated data from external threat intelligence sources, then automate the process of establishing new firewall rules upon receiving a list of indicators of compromise (IoCs), and then document and log the changes for reference.
Minimizes Damage from an Attack
With earlier notifications, staff can respond and drill down even faster to help limit the potential impact of an attack. With SOAR's automation capabilities helping to minimize the spread of damage without human intervention, mitigation steps can begin before the incident response team is fully assembled.
Once it is time to act, the SOC will have the most information about the attack thanks to a multitude of threat detection tools generating metrics and monitoring system thresholds. Ultimately, SOAR tools give security professionals a more holistic picture of security incidents.
The Future of SOAR
Gartner projects that the number of organizations using SOAR tools will grow to 15 percent in 2020 from 1 percent today. Clearly, this growing interest in SOAR is for a good reason, given the many benefits organizations can realize. Ultimately, the more ways you can support your security staff, the more your can multiply their effectiveness, and, at the same time, your cyberdefenses.

Preparing soil
I have been going over the e-mails for folks to come out to the farm as a work trade position. A lot of folks have written us. I know I set the work trade at too low of a weekly commitment for the persons involved. We are new at this, and just really want to find a couple who wants to roll up their sleeves and let their inspiration soar. I don't want to micro manage, and won't. But on the other hand, please bring passion and imagination. We are starting things up after a ten year lull, and find most of our interest is in sustainability not production. Not that we mind if you produce.
I will prolly just be doing the Marshall market this year.

The LM32 Rocket Launcher is a weapon that appears in Serious Sam: Double D and Serious Sam: Double D: XXL.
Overivew[edit | edit source]
The LM32 fires a rocket straight ahead when the fire key is pressed. When the rocket hits something, it will explode, damaging anything near the impact site. These rockets do a large amount of damage on a direct impact, but the explosion damage is lower than a direct impact.
The rocket launcher can be used to rocket jump; look down, then fire and jump at the same time.
Tactics[edit | edit source]
- The rocket launcher is a very useful weapon against enemies with a large amount of health. It deals a high amount of damage per rocket, and it has a fast enough fire rate that it can deliver a lot of rockets quickly.
- Its large ammo reserve, combined with its good rate of fire, makes it useful for eliminating hordes of enemies quickly. Combining it with weapons like the Tommy Gun and the 12 Gauge Shotgun and more will give the player more than enough firepower to wipe out a horde.
- When combined with other strong weapons like the XL4 Lasergun, the rocket launcher is extremely deadly, and can quickly kill everything but bosses quickly. Putting multiple Rocket Launchers with the previously-mentioned powerful weapons can utterly devastate even bosses.
- Using the rocket launcher when enemies are very close to the player isn't a good idea, as the explosion from each rocket will harm the player. This can easily lead to the player unintentionally committing suicide, especially if multiple rocket launchers are being fired.
- Putting rocket launchers near the top of a stack isn't a good idea, as the rocket will hit the roof in tight spaces, inflicting self-damage to the player.
- Ammunition is scarce in the Ancient Egypt chapter, so it should be used sparingly in that chapter.
- Multiple rocket launchers allow the player to fly farther while doing a rocket jump at the expense of more health taken away per jump. This can be useful for reaching secrets that would otherwise be difficult to reach for various reasons.

Just a few days before Black Friday, Amazon users were hit by some disturbing news via email. Amazon informed users that their names and email addresses were "inadvertently disclosed" in a data breach caused by a technical error.
Amazon stays silent on the number of affected users and the only way to know if your account is one of them is by receiving the aforementioned email.
In a statement the e-commerce giant said "We have fixed the issue and informed customers who may have been impacted." They also said that no passwords were reviled and it would also seem that the error affected only consumers rather than business accounts on the platform.
It would be foolish to assume that since no passwords were disclosed that the breach is insignificant, since cyber criminals have been known to do a lot with just names and email addresses. This comes at a critical time for the company ahead of Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.
The UK ICO said "It is always the company's responsibility to identify when UK citizens have been affected as part of a data breach and take steps to reduce any harm to consumers…". "The ICO will however continue to monitor the situation and cooperate with other supervisory authorities where required."

Life gets better each day. I laugh when people tell me I have a life of leisure. Hah! Yes, I am fortunate to spend my days exploring the world with pen and brush. That Life of Leisure, however, is also a business that demands hours every day at my computer as well as many other, not so delightful, tasks. And … it is worth it. I continue to meet amazing people along the path I have chosen to wander.
When exploring a place I've never experienced before, my eyes and mind are alert, like those of a child for whom almost everything in life is unknown. I'm reminded of my personal point of view and preferences as my heart skips a beat when I see a curved shape of metal serving a purpose and displaying beauty and fine craftsmanship.
Nature mingles with pavements and paint, creating gorgeous abstractions that change with the weather and the setting sun.
I have the opportunity to revisit favorite artists, viewing paintings I've only seen in books, thanks to changing exhibits advertised on posters in train stations and on buses. Claire, a lovely Parisienne I met while sketching in a park, joined me when I visited Au Temps De KLIMT – La Sécession à Vienne at the Pinacothèque de Paris. Afterwards, she gave me a guided walking tour through Montmartre. A few days later, she cooked a delicious, authentic, cous cous for me in her home! I am working much harder on my French so that I may converse with her young son when I visit them next September. These experiences and inspirations end up on canvases in surprising ways.
I was adding more texture to the canvas with the plan of glazing additional color over the texture. The pattern began to remind me of the design elements I adore in Klimt's work. I changed my plan and playfully proceeded to resolve my painting by enhancing the dance of the textures guided by the influence of Klimt and having seen the recent exhibit where I could study his technique more closely.
As much as I enjoy my alone time, lost in the world of creative endeavors, I like to share my excitement and discoveries with other artists. My blog allows me to share my life as an artist with people around the world. I find that amazing having grown up at a time when I had to lug my portfolio on buses and trains to galleries and art directors. I don't begrudge the time I spend sharing information simply by dancing my fingers on a keyboard. But I do wish the days were longer and I do wish that I could clone myself so that one of me could be in the office and the other one sketching and painting.
Thank you for following me on my journeys. It is because of your dedication to creativity that I can travel and explore and go to bed with a smile on my face.

EDINBURG — Mission Mayor Armando O'Caña took the stand Wednesday in the trial over the Mission election contest, fielding questions about how his campaign was run in the lead-up to the June mayoral runoff election.
O'Caña, who defeated former Mission Mayor Norberto "Beto" Salinas in the runoff, made his first appearance during the trial on Wednesday. His attorneys explained he was making funeral arrangements following a death in the family.
Ricardo "Rick" Salinas, the attorney for his father Beto Salinas who is contesting the results of the runoff, began by asking O'Caña if he understood the allegations made against his campaign.
O'Caña replied that he understood and that the allegations were false.
O'Caña, 64, first became a city councilman for Mission about 15 years ago, he said in response to Salinas' questions. He had also previously run for mayor against Beto Salinas but lost.
Through questions about his history of running for public office, Rick Salinas hoped to establish that O'Caña was familiar with how campaigns were run and questioned O'Caña over the campaign finance reports that he filed.
Salinas spent much time going over the contributions and expenses O'Caña reported, asking O'Caña repeatedly if he had paid any campaign workers. O'Caña said he did not.
Salinas brought up the people who were named in previous days' testimony as having bribed people for their votes or having filled out ballots for elderly voters. O'Caña said he never asked those people to help in the campaign.
The attorney also made note of payments to VO Consulting, a consulting firm owned by his niece, Veronica O'Caña, whom Armando O'Caña said he hired to be his campaign manager.
He testified he and Veronica had a verbal agreement that she would receive $20,000 for her work in the general election and another $8,000 if he went into a runoff election. O'Caña agreed with Salinas' assessment that he received roughly $39,000 in contributions for the entire campaign.
O'Caña testified that Veronica never produced documentation to show how she used the money she was paid, to which Salinas insinuated she could have used those funds to pay people to harvest votes.
Salinas then asked O'Caña if he was aware they had tried to subpoena Veronica O'Caña to compel her to testify but they were unable to locate her.
He alleged their process servers had even staked out at her home, but she refused to come out.
Salinas asked O'Caña if he would speak to Veronica and Guadalupe "Lupita" O'Caña, Veronica's mother, about coming forward to testify. O'Caña said he would speak to them.
After O'Caña was finally excused from the witness stand, Salinas called four more witnesses including a married couple who said they voted by absentee ballot for the first time during this election.
The couple, Emma and Guadalupe Barrera, individually testified that a woman came to their home to help them fill out their absentee ballots which they both said they had not requested.
When they were shown copies of absentee ballot applications with their signatures on them, both said those were not their real signatures.
The woman who came to their home to help them, Guadalupe Barrera said, filled out the ballot for them and took it with her. They said they did not know which campaign she worked for.
The next witnesses, Serapio De la Cruz, said "some girls" came by his home to pick up his absentee ballot, but he could not remember who they were and could not remember giving a sworn statement to the attorneys.
The attorneys argued over the last witness, Juanita Hernandez, who Hinojosa said was had not been properly designated. Salinas argued that the affidavit he provided Hinojosa was enough notice that he would be calling her as a witness. The judge agreed.
Hernandez testified that a woman came to her home and told her she would be receiving a ballot in the mail. Because of vision problems, she could not read the statement she had given to attorneys, but she remembered stating that both Veronica O'Caña and Lupita O'Caña came to her home.
Hernandez was excused soon after that.
When asked how many days he expected to take to make his case, Salinas replied that there were at least 50 other subpoenas that had been issued.
Judge J. Bonner Dorsey, however, ordered that Salinas be done presenting witnesses by Thursday, Oct. 4 at noon.
Whether the trial will even make that far is now in question after the attorneys got into another heated argument after the judge recessed for the day.
This dispute centered over Salinas' request that Hinojosa turn over documents he would use as part of the defense, but Hinojosa argued he needed a list of the witnesses Salinas planned to call in the next few days to know what documents he would be using.
As the bickering continued, the judge threatened to declare a mistrial if the issues couldn't be resolved.
The attorneys agreed to try to reach an agreement by Thursday morning, otherwise the judge will consider a mistrial.

It feels like forever since we heard a new album from Pearl Jam, 5 year's in fact, but, it's starting to look like the wait might be over sooner rather than later.
Guitarist Stone Gossard and bassist Jeff Ament have shared updates on the band's next album, this follows their appearance alongside drummer Matt Cameron when they played as Temple Of The Dog during last week's Chris Cornell tribute at the Forum in LA.
The band gave us a taste last spring with the release of the stand-alone single, "Can't Deny Me", to co-inside with their 2018 tour, but we want more right?
Gossard told Rolling Stone: "Yeah, that was fun," adding: "I'm glad we got to do that. That was a little bit of a star from one of the ones that we had recorded, so we're hoping to get some more of that going.
"We're going to make a record, and we're in the middle of it. We're just going to keep plugging away until we get one done."
He also explained that even though it's been six years since the release of their last album, the band have been getting together and working away at new material whenever possible. He said: "We've gone in, probably, four or five times in the last couple of years, so we have a whole ton of unfinished stuff," says Ament. "We're just sort of in a little bit of limbo. I'm sure everybody's got a bunch more riffs, and I'm sure Ed's got a handful of journal lyrics. It's just going to take us all getting into a room together for six weeks and just knocking something out."
"It'd be fun to record or even just write a song together," adds the bassist. "I think when Chris passed, that's really been a tough one to wrap our heads around, and then there's just life stuff."
