Special counsel Robert Mueller's office moved to officially dismiss recent charges against Rick Gates Tuesday afternoon, after the former deputy chairman to President Trump's 2016 campaign pleaded guilty to charges of money laundering and tax fraud, reports the Washington Post.
Both Gates and Manafort were previously indicted with multiple counts of conspiracy to launder money, acting as unregistered agents on behalf of foreign governments, making false statements, and failure to disclose financial records.
The special counsel's office decision to drop the charges signals Gates may be offering to cooperate with Mueller's probe into Manafort's finances; further suggesting the ongoing investigation into Russian "collusion" centers on the former campaign chairman's foreign investments and financial ties.
Rick Gates joined the Trump campaign in the early months of 2016 after Manafort was hired as chairman, and worked under him as his deputy in the run-up to the US presidential election.
Paul Manafort has maintained his innocence throughout Mueller's probe, vowing to fight the allegations in court since his initial indictment last October.

Subing add: selective in commercial endorsements are hard to surpass the bolt Subing add (microblogging) Tencent sports August 25 hearing on the evening of 23, bird's nest the protagonist not bolt, but Subing add. This night, the history of the Asian Track and field to open a new page, set foot on the world championship finals in the first step, not the Japanese, not a mercenary mercenary, but the Chinese people, will be footprints left in the bird's nest. Today, Su Bingtian in the interaction with users, said Boulter, beyond the very difficult to achieve, the next goal is to break 9 seconds 99! Beyond bolt is difficult to achieve 70000 audience breathless look forward to, their eyes gathered in red on the runway, there is not only has the world's fastest Usain Bolt, Gatling and a dressed in red race of the Chinese players Subing add. This is for the first time in their history by the Asian player to dominate the world, the black whirlwind of track and field men's 100 meters final for the first time into the yellow skin. Although the final did not create better results in the final, but Su Bingtian has been a big step in the history of the Chinese track and field! Recalled the mood at that time, Su Bingtian said: "it is afraid of and excited, afraid of him with a mess my rhythm, because my current level is not up to his level. I now have a better level of players." On the question of beyond Su Bingtian, Boulter's answer is: "this desire is very difficult to achieve, I just do their own, to achieve a breakthrough." As an opponent, talking about the advantages of Su Bingtian, Boulter bluntly "Jamaica lightning" advantage is not only tall, but also talented, he is currently the strongest experience is very sufficient, he controlled the game is very strong, so he can win over and over again. I think he is a learning model, he is a myth in the hundred meters, to learn the spirit of his. The next goal is to break 99 seconds and 9 seconds to break the 10 second mark, the next target is: a breakthrough 9 seconds 99!" Su Bingtian bluntly that he did not know how much the ultimate speed, but believe that they just created a history of the beginning, the future will have more people go beyond. For the history that we created is left to the future generations. "Two seconds to break the 10 second mark is not too excited, but I am currently training method of a certain. However, to become the first breakthrough in 10 seconds of the Chinese people are very happy, because I can become China's first to break the 10 second mark, my name will be recorded in history, my whole life is no regrets." Su Bingtian believes that the record is to be used to break, I just created a history of the beginning, the future will have more people than, because the history of our creation is left to future generations." There is no doubt that the two break in 10 seconds without hard training, for why to be so hard training, Su Bingtian said: "the main is I have the pursuit, to different stages will have a higher pursuit. There must be some difficulties in practice, because the direction, the method to find the right, will lead to their own thinking is very messy, there will be difficult, need time to slowly calm down to think." Talking about the problems, Subing add bluntly said: "I think the insufficient place is swinging arm, because of swing arm too to, relative to the technology, this is even more difficult to change." And for how the most difficult to grasp

The various telecom organisations in the country cannot escape blame in the latest Sim box fraud perpetuated against the country, Communications minister, Dr Omane Boamah has said.
According to him, the chain of relations in the acquisition of the sim cards used by the fraudsters for their criminal operations cannot be overlooked in the efforts to nib the act in the bud.
Dr Boamah's comments come on the back of the arrest of the ex GREDA boss, Dr Alexander Tweneboah Monday for sponsoring the activities of SIM box fraudsters.
A press release from Subah Info Solutions, one of the key players in the arrest has revealed that GH¢107,495,000.00 (about $33.6 million) have been lost to activities of SIM box fraudsters.
Commenting on the matter Tuesday, the former deputy environment minister said investigations are underway to identify other suspects in the case.
"We cannot at this stage extricate the chain completely from this (Sim box fraud) because every telecommunication organisation must have the responsibility for every sim card that is produced for its operations," he stated Radio Gold.
He said government is hoping to embark on a re-registration exercise of all sim cards in the country upon completion of the national identification card project.

I am a third year PhD student at the Interact-lab from the Department of Informatics of the University of Sussex. Under the supervision from Prof. Sriram Subramanian, my research work is focused on computational approaches for User Interfaces (UI) design and Virtual Reality.
Before joining to the Interact-lab, I received my MSc in Electronics at the National Institute of Technology of Mexico.
I am interested in applying optimisation techniques that include human factors to improve user-centred interfaces. For instance, ergonomic evaluations for interaction techniques to improve user comfort in Immersive Virtual Reality (IVR) scenarios (when using full body tracking systems).
- Department of Engineering and Informatics
- University of Sussex
- Brighton, UK
VR applications are widely used, involving increasingly challenging conditions such as realism, the feeling of presence and comfort. Full body tracking interactions improve naturalness in VR interfaces. Nevertheless, this kind of interactions involves large movements resulting in high physical effort. Erg-O project introduces "Ergonomic Retargeting" which focusses on improving user's comfort in full body interactions in VR by warping the 3D space with controlled distortions reducing user's movement ratios (reducing effort) and hacking users perception to create the illusion of interaction with all elements in the original place.
NaviFields quantifies the requirements for precise navigation of each point of the environment, allowing natural navigation within relevant areas, while scaling users' displacements when travelling across non-relevant spaces. This expands the size of the navigable space, retains the natural navigation metaphor and still allows for areas with precise control of the virtual head.
We present an approach for the semi-automatic generation of gesture mappings for devices with low gestural resolution. We quantify data related to interaction combining systematic studies (i.e. error, speed, accuracy) and semi-structured workshops with experts (i.e. cognitive load, heuristics). We then formalize these factors in a mathematical model and use optimization algorithms (i.e. simulated annealing) to find an optimum gesture mapping. We demonstrate our method in a text-entry application (i.e. pervasive task with complex interactive dialogue) using a Myo armband, and compare our approach with other computationally determined mappings using naive cost functions.

The charges are extremely affordable at .twenty cents for each listed merchandise and they also consider a little proportion of the sale. In your store you have PayPal facilities or if you favor to take your personal transactions you can do that as well. You also have your personal url. The only draw back of the website is that you do not know exactly where your customers are coming from, whether it is some marketing campaign you have operate or just by looking They also have a fantastic forum where marketing and business suggestions are discussed.

Do you want to promote your mobile? Want to do it in such a way that it will get recycled and helps the environment? Well the great information is that it couldn't be simpler.

All you have to do now is jump into some of the subjects and search about. So many subjects on study websites are there, exactly where people just like you are chatting about the fantastic survey locations they have bumped into. Taking surveys is so much much more enjoyable when you find free sites that truly treatment about how much they give their members.

Take some time to write up an attractive revenue listing. Look at some present zap2it tv listings tonight to get some ideas. You will get an idea of the important locations that other sellers include as nicely as how they use important phrases to help promote their products.

If you are considering of just obtaining your website on-line and do not treatment about online advertising, I will advise you rather not create a web site. A website is intended to entice guests, build brand, and turn guests to clients. It should be good and marketable. Search engine is the greatest traffic referral source. With search engines, people are looking for companies that can provide them with the item or services that they require.

Depending on what you charge to develop a website, you could provide to build 1 for them for less than the cost of the advertisement operating for two months. Stage this out to them in the e-mail and once once more provide to arrive and have a chat more than a cup of coffee.

Sounds pretty negative doesn't it. Below other circumstances zap2it tv listings tonight , it would be enough to put someone off attempting to do business on the internet.

Whilst there are a few "bad apples" (and aren't there offline as well), it's incredible how numerous pleasant, useful individuals there are out there.

People have discovered that you don't have to produce something new or re-invent the wheel to make money online.

My first introduction to New Orlean's style food was via a former long-time boyfriend who was born and raised there. He was also responsible for my Southern-style nickname, Ms. Kitty. His mother and I shared the same first name so I was gifted her nickname as well. This recipe was given to me by the original Ms. Kitty on my first trip to New Orleans over 20 years ago. I recall copying the recipe out of some (then) ancient cookbook that is probably no longer even in print.
There are two primary ways to make jambalaya; Creole (or red) style which includes tomatoes or Cajun style which does not. Like most
jambalaya Cajun recipes, this starts out with the "holy trinity" of onions, celery and bell pepper sauteed in a stock pot. Chicken, sausage and/or seafood are then added followed by the tomatoes. The last step is adding rice and stock. All of this cooks down in one pot for an easy to prepare but hearty and delicious meal.
- 9 (boneless, skinless) chicken thighs
- 2 tlbs olive oil
- 3 medium onions
- 4 ribs celery
- 1 green bell pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 4 cloves of garlic
- 1 small can tomato paste
- 1 large can crushed tomatos
- 1 pound smoked sausage or Polish sausage*
- 1 tsp cayenne pepper
- Parsley flakes
- 2 bay leaves
- 2 tlbs Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 cup uncooked rice
Boil chicken until tender. Reserve liquid. Meanwhile chop all the vegetables. Saute chopped vegetables and garlic in olive oil until tender. Add meat, tomatoes and paste. Add seasonings and cook 30-45 minutes on low heat, stirring often. Add 2 to 2 ½ cups reserved liquid and uncooked rice. Cook covered approximately 30 minutes or until rice is tender. Remove bay leaves prior to serving.
*Use andouille sausage if you can find it. It's pricey in Arizona and Polish sausage works just fine.

Few virtues are as celebrated in contemporary culture as openness. Rooted in software culture and carrying more than a whiff of Silicon Valley technical utopianism, openness--of decision-making, data, and organizational structure--is seen as the cure for many problems in politics and business.
But what does openness mean, and what would a political theory of openness look like? With Wikipedia and the Politics of Openness , Nathaniel Tkacz uses Wikipedia, the most prominent product of open organization, to analyze the theory and politics of openness in practice--and to break its spell. Through discussions of edit wars, article deletion policies, user access levels, and more, Tkacz enables us to see how the key concepts of openness--including collaboration, ad-hocracy, and the splitting of contested projects through "forking"--play out in reality.
The resulting book is the richest critical analysis of openness to date, one that roots media theory in messy reality and thereby helps us move beyond the vaporware promises of digital utopians and take the first steps toward truly understanding what openness does, and does not, have to offer.
Author Notes
Nathaniel Tkacz is assistant professor in the Centre for Interdisciplinary Methodologies at the University of Warwick and coeditor of Critical Point of View: A Wikipedia Reader .
Reviews 1
Choice Review
Tkacz (Univ. of Warwick, UK) unpacks the social, political, and philosophical nature of Wikipedia and its stance as "open" in terms of collaboration, participation, and ad-hocracy. By using the notions of the "frame" and statement formation in discourse analysis, the author analyzes specific case studies that have helped shape Wikipedia to expose and problematize the "closed" versus "open" practices at play by Wikipedia participants at many levels. Further, the act of "forking" is explored as a method for effecting changes in organizations like Wikipedia, along with leaders' mobilizing an ally as a "mouthpiece" versus a "spokesperson." Ultimately, Tkacz calls for a more nuanced political landscape for understanding these particular frames, which are not positioned as "open" or "closed" in terms of their policies and practices. This book could be used across many disciplines, such as communications, media studies, philosophy, linguistics, sociology, and cultural studies. Because of the broad focus and approach of this work, any supporting readings would depend on the discipline. For instance, James Gee's What Video Games Have to Teach Us about Learning and Literacy (CH, Feb'04, 41-3564) might be used with a media studies or literacy focused course.

Factom Casino Software Price – Crypto-Currency: Make It Count
We would like to thank you for coming to BTC in looking for "Factom Casino Software Price" online. In the case of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it might even be exchanged as a commodity. Supporters of cryptocurrencies announce that this form of virtual money isn't handled by way of a key bank system and it is not thus susceptible to the whims of its inflation. Since there are a restricted quantity of goods, this cash's worth is dependant on market forces, allowing homeowners to deal over cryptocurrency trades. The sweetness of the cryptocurrencies is the fact that scam was proved an impossibility: because of the character of the process in which it's transacted. All transactions over a crypto-currency blockchain are irreversible. Once youare paid, you get paid. This is not anything short term where your web visitors could challenge or need a discounts, or use unethical sleight of hand. Used, most professionals will be smart to work with a payment processor, due to the irreversible character of crypto-currency transactions, you must be sure that safety is difficult. With any kind of crypto-currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers may potentially get access to your personal tips and so steal your money. Sadly, you probably can never have it back. It is very important for you really to follow some excellent safe and secure methods when dealing with any cryptocurrency. This may guard you from many of these bad activities. Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, LiteCoin, Ether, YOCoin, and many others have been designed as a non-fiat currency. Quite simply, its backers claim that there is "real" worth, even through there is absolutely no physical representation of that worth. The worth grows due to computing power, that is, is the only way to create new coins distributed by allocating CPU power via computer programs called miners. Miners create a block after a period of time that is worth an ever decreasing amount of currency or some sort of wages in order to ensure the deficit. Each coin includes many smaller components. For Bitcoin, each unit is called a satoshi. Operations that take place during mining are just to authenticate other transactions, such that both creates and authenticates itself, a simple and elegant solution, which can be one of the appealing aspects of the coin. Once created, each Bitcoin (or 100 million satoshis) exists as a cipher, that is part of the block that gave rise to it. The person who has mined the coin holds the address, and transfers it into a value is provided by another address, which is a "wallet" file stored on a computer. The blockchain is where the public record of transactions lives. Most all cryptocurrencies function as Bitcoin does.
The fact that there is little evidence of any growth in the use of virtual money as a currency may be the reason why there are minimal efforts to control it. The reason for this could be just that the marketplace is too little for cryptocurrencies to justify any regulatory effort. It really is also possible the regulators simply don't comprehend the technology and its implications, expecting any developments to act. Here is the coolest thing about cryptocurrencies; they do not physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you take a look at a special address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there is absolutely no digital information held in it, like in precisely the same manner a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It is only a representation of value, but there isn't any genuine palpable sort of that value. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or immobilized or audited by the banks and the law. They would not have spending limits and withdrawal limitations imposed on them. No one but the owner of the crypto wallet can decide how their wealth will be managed.
Factom Casino Software Price – Bitcoin – Your Coin for The Future
Since among the earliest forms of making money is in cash lending, it truly is a fact that you could do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending websites now focus on Bitcoin, several of those websites you might be demanded fill in a captcha after a particular time frame and are rewarded with a bit of coins for visiting them. It is possible to see the www.cryptofunds.co site to find some lists of of these websites to tap into the money of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin markets have quite different dynamics. New ones are always popping up which means they do not have a lot of market data and historical perspective for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have fairly inferior liquidity as well and it is hard to come up with an acceptable investment strategy. Only a fraction of bitcoins issued so far are available on the exchange markets. Bitcoin markets are competitive, this means the price a bitcoin will rise or fall depending on supply and demand. Lots of people hoard them for long term savings and investment. This restricts the number of bitcoins that are truly circulating in the exchanges. Additionally, new bitcoins will continue to be issued for decades to come. Hence, even the most diligent buyer couldn't buy all existing bitcoins. This scenario isn't to imply that markets usually are not vulnerable to price exploitation, yet there is no requirement for big sums of money to transfer market prices up or down. The merest occasions on earth market can change the price of Bitcoin, This can make Bitcoin and any other cryptocurrency explosive. Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact cash and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in an identical way, but in addition they participate in more complex smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a particular number of a defined group of folks agree to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This permits advanced dispute mediation services to be developed in the future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their cash. Unlike cash and other payment procedures, the blockchain always leaves public proof a transaction happened. This can be potentially used in an appeal against businesses with deceptive practices. Bitcoin is the primary cryptocurrency of the internet: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike conventional fiat currencies, there's no governments, banks, or some other regulatory agencies. Therefore, it truly is more immune to outrageous inflation and corrupt banks. The benefits of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the security and privacy hazards. Security and privacy can readily be achieved by just being intelligent, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't set your entire bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be secured by removing any identity of ownership from your wallets and therefore keeping you anonymous. When searching forFactom Casino Software Price, there are many things to ponder.

For most users of cryptocurrencies it is not necessary to understand how the procedure operates in and of itself, but it's simply important to understand that there's a procedure for mining to create virtual currency. Unlike currencies as we know them today where Governments and banks can just choose to print unlimited amounts (I am not saying they're doing so, only one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining application, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation. Lots of people prefer to use a money deflation, particularly individuals who want to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Financial solitude, for instance, is amazing for political activists, but more debatable when it comes to political campaign financing. We need a stable cryptocurrency for use in trade; If you are living pay check to pay check, it would happen within your riches, with the remainder earmarked for other currencies. The physical Internet backbone that carries information between the different nodes of the network has become the work of a number of firms called Internet service providers (ISPs), including firms that offer long-distance pipelines, occasionally at the international level, regional local conduit, which ultimately joins in households and businesses. The physical connection to the Internet can only occur through any of these ISPs, players like level 3, Cogent, and IBM AT&T. Each ISP operates its own network. Internet service providers Exchange IXPs, owned or private companies, and occasionally by Authorities, make for each of these networks to be interconnected or to transfer messages across the network. Many ISPs have arrangements with providers of physical Internet backbone providers to offer Internet service over their networks for "last mile"-consumers and companies who need to get Internet connectivity. Internet protocols, followed by everyone in the network makes it possible for the data to flow without interruption, in the appropriate place at the right time.
While none of these organizations "owns" the Internet collectively these companies decide how it functions, and recognized rules and standards that everyone remains. Contracts and legal framework that underlies all that is occurring to ascertain how things work and what happens if something goes wrong. To get a domain name, for example, one needs permission from a Registrar, which has a contract with ICANN. To connect to the Internet, your ISP must be physical contracts with providers of Internet backbone services, and suppliers have contracts with IXPs from the Internet backbone to attach to and with her. Concern over security problems? A working group is formed to work with the problem and the alternative developed and deployed is in the interest of most parties. If the Internet is down, you might have someone to phone to get it repaired. If the difficulty is from your ISP, they in turn have contracts set up and service level agreements, which regulate the manner in which these problems are solved.
The advantage of cryptocurrency is that it uses blockchain technology. The network of nodes the make up the blockchain is not governed by any focused business. No one can tell the miners to upgrade, speed up, slow down, stop or do anything. And that is something that as a devoted advocate badge of honor, and is identical to the way the Internet works. But as you understand now, public Internet governance, normalities and rules that regulate how it works present inherent difficulties to the consumer. Blockchain technology has none of that. Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, nevertheless, if growth is too quickly, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could rise dramatically, and at a rate that surpasses the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the whole platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the increasing costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Instability of demand for ether can result in an adverse change in the economical parameters of an Ethereum based company which could lead to company being unable to continue to run or to cease operation.

Hungry and Thirsty bikers flocked by the groupfuls to get their hands on beer and nosh. We will definitely be looking forward to the next event that Jason puts together. He alluded to a Fall Fest 2012 when we last spoke. Can't Wait!

During your marriage, you and your spouse might have been the type of couple who split all your parenting duties evenly. On the other hand, one of you may have been a main provider in one area, such as driving the kids to activities, while the other was more of a disciplinarian. Either way, you no doubt had your own unique way of doing things in your family and each took your role as a parent seriously.

2001 Lincoln LS LSE 3.9L from North America
Fun car to drive once you get the kinks out of the way
My LS started misfiring at 80,000 miles. I started doing some research on the car, I had to replace one coil at a cost of 75 dollars. After doing the research, I found that leaking valve cover problems were common, so before I had more problems I also replaced the left side valve cover gauge. That saved me a lot of time and money. My misfire problems have since gone away. Also using 93 octane fuel makes the vehicle run better.
At 105000 miles my A/C started acting up blowing hot air then back to cold. I took it to the dealer and the problem could not be figured out; the problem could never be reproduced with them. I took it to a mechanic I know and had him vacuum out the freon and re charge it again, haven't had the problem since. I also learned that they have problems with dual zone climate control, so I don't allow anyone to adjust the A/C; I keep it at one temp.
At 106,000 miles I had a problem with the transmission. The vehicle would not go above 65 miles and the revs were at 6000, but when you would turn it off and turned it back on, the problem would go away for about 10 minutes, then it would start again, and again I turned the car off and back on, and the problem would be gone, and 10 minutes later the problem would be back. So I took it to the dealer and they kept the car for 2 days, I got the car back and have not had the problem again. Oh, the dealer did not charge me anything.
At 113000 the vehicle would accelerate on its own. I would start the car and it would go straight to 4000 revs. I would turn it off then back on, and it would be back to normal. On the highway I wouldn't even press the gas and I would be gaining speed. I had to constantly press the brakes, and at red lights it was hard keeping the vehicle stopped. I would have to put it in neutral, and when I stopped I disconnected the battery and connected it again, and that seemed to fix the problem. That just happened one day and never has it happened again.
General Comments:
The vehicle is very quick, and I love the V8 engine.
It's a really fun car to drive. I like that I have the option to either drive it like an automatic or like a manual.
The 50/50 weight distribution also makes the car great at handling. I was able to avoid some dangerous material that fell from a semi truck and I did not lose control.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Don't Know
Review Date: 4th June, 2009
9th Sep 2009, 12:28
I agree with your review. Mine just got 70,000 miles on it, and I've had most of the problems you've had. I did the valve cover gasket and coil pack replacements myself, which saved me hundreds and it now runs great.
When I had the A/C issues, they actually went away once I changed the coil packs. I don't think they are related, but it hasn't messed up on me since.
The lingering issue I still have is with the rear passenger side window regulator that broke. Very much a pain.
Besides the issues... THIS CAR ROCKS!!! The V8 is awesome, and people don't expect this performance out of a Lincoln.

text: I've been following the BBC TV show Being Human since the original pilot. It survived having two thirds of its lead cast changed before it went into full production, so there's no reason why it can't do it again in the new fourth series. Whether the storylines have strayed too far from their sit-com roots, who can say? But if I wanted angst and brooding, shirtless men I'd watch True Blood.

To perform an accurate count there is one key area for investment that can have a dramatic impact—a data and outreach platform to empower nonprofits to conduct census outreach. Nonprofits have trusted relationships with communities that are likely to be low-income and hard to count. Nonprofits also have a base of volunteers who can be mobilized to help do outreach. In prior Censuses, they have not had effective tools to reach their communities through the most prevalent digital device—mobile phones.
By providing mobile texting outreach tools to nonprofits, we can help nonprofits quickly and effectively communicate with their clients to get them counted. Furthermore, we can directly measure key outcomes using custom URLs and forwarding phone numbers, including click-through rates to the Census website, and call-through rates to the call center.
"Census Campaign in a Box" will enable nonprofits to easily create and manage Census campaigns that educate and activate hard-to-count people.
Nonprofits can securely upload client contact information and easily deploy a Census communications campaign. The campaign consists of nine months of education & activation messages. The campaign will be culturally appropriate and available in multiple languages.
Text messaging is the most effective method for reaching underserved populations, young people, and minorities.
99% of text messages are read
97% of 18-29 year olds text
Older teens send/receive 181 texts per day!
Hispanics text 156% more than Caucasians
African Americans text 224% more than caucasians
*Sources: Conversational Advertising 2010, SinglePoint; Cell Phone Activities 2012, Pew Research ; How Americans Use Text Messaging 2011, Pew Research; CTIA
1. Send community members messages on the benefits of being an enumerator, link to apply, help with application
2. After a short survey, users receive personalized messages about the benefits of taking the Census
3. Send encouraging messages with tips to fill out the Census, invite to promotional events, send reminders
4. Send direct link to Census form online, send phone number of the Census call center, schedule visits by a volunteer to help

A 2D side-scrolling RPG where you play as an AI named Dex, Dex is coming to PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in Q1 2016, with a PlayStation Vita version following later.
From Dreadlocks Studio and BadLand Indie, Dex follows Dex's quest for Singularity, a theoretical event where artificial intelligence will surpass human intelligence. Pursued by corporate mercenaries for unknown reason, Dex is helped out by a trio of hacktivists, with the developers saying, "Only you get to decide how the story ends."
Featuring an open world, here's the details on Dex:
- Rare melding of realism and creative vision: Realistic action, mature storyline, and complex character interactions meld with hand-drawn characters, animations, and locations, arcade-style melee combat, and an original conception of cyberspace.
- Multiple solutions to problems: Operate in cyberspace or normal reality. Overcome obstacles using skills, weapons, special equipment…
- Meaningful character progression choices: Will you be a silent assassin, a hacker, or a straightforward gunfighter? Improve your character and gear to unlock gameplay-changing upgrades that reinforce and customize your gameplay style.
- Unique hacking mechanic: Transfer your consciousness to your avatar, overcome intrusion countermeasures, take action, and then return back to your body in a fraction of a real-time second to see the results – deactivated turrets, overloaded devices, enemies with crippled implants…
- Neo-cyberpunk: Story deeply inspired by the cyberpunk novels of William Gibson and other classical cyberpunk authors, flavored with a contemporary concept of augmented reality.
- Rich game world and mindful level design: Visit diverse locations in Harbor Prime, a futuristic city complete with luxurious skyscrapers, run-down shantytowns, and seedy red-light districts. Take part in street brawls, steal corporate data, overcome environmental hazards, and, of course, stay alive – no easy task.
- Full voice acting: Interactive dialogues using hand-drawn sprite animations, fully voice-acted by professional actors.
If Dex on PlayStation is anything like the PC version, expect it to cost $19.99 USD.

David Byrne of Talking Heads and New York arts scene fame once said in his 1986 movie True Stories (and I paraphrase), 'sometimes you have to leave a place for awhile to be able to see it again as it really is, with fresh eyes and new perspective'. Later at a suburban mall he ironically reflects on the abandonment of our Downtowns for easy parking, 'what time is it? No time to look back.' But we need to look back, to remember where we've been, how we came to be and who we are. To experience something new in our Downtowns we need to explore them from differing perspectives, through multiple lenses and filters.
Rebecca Solnit's fascinatingly researched and beautifully illustrated book, Infinite City, A San Francisco Atlas, accomplishes exactly that. It is an atlas of sorts, exploring seven square miles of the San Francisca Bay area. It transports one through time, topic, geography, culture, experience and a few other realms I'm sure I'm leaving out. Telling the story of San Francisco through artists, writers and cartographers, Ms Solnit provides illumination enabling us to see connections we are unaware of or had forgotten. The book's maps, illustrated by cartographers Ben Pease and Shizue Sigel are alone worth the price of admission.
Ms Solnit takes us on a tour. Chapters and topics are defined by their maps with titles like "The Names, Before the Names, Green Women, Cinema City, Monarchs and Queens and the Right Wing of the Dove." Summarizing "The Right Wing of the Dove"; we are all familiar with the stereotype of San Francisco as a bastion of liberal values ensconced on the "left" coast, but do you recall it is also the home of military industrial giants, Northrup Gruman, Lawrence Livermore (remember Reagan's Star Wars?), Bechtel, Travis Air Force Base and the right wing think tank Hoover Institute? The chapter captures another unique and individual layer of San Francisco drawn to the fore in all its ambiguity by Ms Solnit's research.
The chapters and maps tell the story of many different cities sharing the same seven square miles. History, politics, butterfly habitats, Buddhists centers, notorious murder sites and alternative lifestyles each a unique city and set of experiences. Ms Solnit's gift through this book is one we can all apply to the place we live and work, one of perspective, too seeing our homes and Downtown's through fresh eyes for what they are and have been, places often difficult to understand and categorize but more interesting and richer for their complexity.
Find the book on Amazon or in your local bookstore.

Invisible women in Australian graphic design
The 'afFEMation' project throws new light on influential women in Australian design history. Jane Connory explains her multifaceted project
The afFEMation project stems from my belief that designers included in the history of Australian graphic design should be measured by their local influence rather than by their connections abroad, writes Jane Connory.

The clavicle forms the anterior portion of the shoulder girdle. It is a long bone, curved somewhat like the italic letter f, and placed nearly horizontally at the upper and anterior part of the thorax, immediately above the first rib. It articulates medially with the manubrium sterni, and laterally with the acromion of the scapula. It presents a double curvature, the convexity being directed forward at the sternal end, and the concavity at the scapular end. Its lateral third is flattened from above downward, while its medial two-thirds is of a rounded or prismatic form.

We will spend a couple hours doing "good without god" and enjoying each other's company. The first event (for what we hope will become a regular meeting) is "Page's Purses and Packs." These purses and packs will filled with personal comfort items for people currently living without shelter, and will be delivered to Good Shepherd for distribution. We did this a couple years ago and it was a great feel-good success.
Here is what we need to do:
- Collect all items from the list below, or through the wishlist at AMAZON.COM
- Meet at Morning Glory Coffee Shop
- Grab a coffee and breakfast muffin
- Organize an assembly line
- Stuff gallon baggies with the items collected
- Fill the purses and packs
- Deliver the filled purses and packs to Good Shepherd

You can help by contributing the items above, either shopping at a local dollar-type store, discount stores, or shopping online via our Amazon Wish List.
When you collect the items you are donating PLEASE put them in the comments below so that we don't double up on the same items. You don't have to buy ALL of one item, i.e. if you purchase 10 pairs of socks, put that in the comments here or the #ServiceSunday Meetup page, and we will update the list above.
This event and future #ServiceSundayILM projects will focus on community service and social activism. We will draw ideas from successful past service efforts, like Page's Purses. The organizing committee also welcomes suggestions from members who work with or volunteer at area non-profits and know of opportunities to put our commitment to "Good Without God" into action.
Attendees will participate in a service-related event, and then rally at a local spot for an inexpensive and casual fast food breakfast or coffee break.
Watch for an announcement on Meetup about the exciting #ServiceSunday kick-off event. If you would like to help organize these projects, email Amber Taggert.

Hack Case: Russian Pleads Not Guilty
Friday, February 20, 2015 @ 02:02 PM gHale
Two and a half years after his arrest in the Netherlands, a Russian man pleaded not guilty to 11 charges in federal court in New Jersey Tuesday, as part of the largest international hacking and data breach case ever prosecuted in the United States.
Vladimir Drinkman, 34, appeared in court in the U.S. to face the hacking and wire fraud charges for helping steal at least 160 million credit cards from major corporate networks, costing hundreds of millions of dollars.
Silk Road Operator Guilty
Guilty Plea in ATM Skimming Plan
Accused Hacker Faces U.S. Extradition
Feds Drop Eli Lilly Espionage Case
NASDAQ, 7-Eleven, Carrefour, JCP, Hannaford, Heartland, Wet Seal, Commidea, Dexia, JetBlue, Dow Jones, Euronet, Visa, Jordan, Global Payment, Diners Singapore, and Ingenicard were the targets of the plan, Department of Justice (DoJ) officials said.
Drinkman is one of five co-defendants in an international computer hacking conspiracy case that began as early as 2005, according to the indictment. The others include three Russians: Alexandr Kalinin, 28, Dmitriy Smilianets, 31, and Roman Kotov, 33, and one Ukrainian, Mikhail Rytikov, 27.
Law enforcement first became aware of Kalinin and Drinkman in 2009, when the two ended up charged as "Hacker 1″ and "Hacker 2″ alongside Florida resident Albert Gonzalez, 33, for the Heartland Payment Systems' breach and four other attacks. Gonzalez is currently serving a 20-year sentence in federal prison. Similianets ended up busted in the Netherlands with Drinkman on June 28, 2012, and extradited three months later. He is in federal custody, while Kalinin, Kotov, and Rytikov remain at large.
The description of how the five co-defendants worked together provides a glimpse into the criminal networks behind the breaches.
Drinkman and Kalinin specialized in "penetrating network security and gaining access to corporate victims' systems," DoJ officials said.
They used SQL injection attacks to infiltrate computer networks and created "back doors" with malware to keep the systems vulnerable. Then, they waited, sometimes as long as a year, inside these companies' systems, according to messages obtained by law enforcement officers. Kotov mined the networks for personal data by installing programs, or sniffers, to collect credit cards and other identifying information from these companies' systems, DoJ officials said.
Smilianets then sold the stolen information to trusted resellers, who then sold the credit card dumps online or to specific customers for $10 per American credit card and $50 per European credit card. Rytikov helped the other four hide their activities through an anonymous web-hosting service.
The five communicated through encrypted chat and sometimes in person to evade law enforcement, but many chats ended up recorded, according to the indictment.
Drinkman's trial will begin April 27, and if found guilty he faces up to 70 years in prison.

Dhaka – The nation paid glowing homage to architect of Bangladesh's independence Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujobur Rahman on the 43rd anniversary of his assassination.
President Abdul Hamid and Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina on Wednesday led the nation in paying homage to Father of the Nation by placing wreaths at the portrait of Bangabandhu in front of Bangabandhu Memorial Museum at Dhanmondi Road No. 32 in Dhaka.
The day is being observed as the National Mourning Day.
A group of disgruntled army officers killed Bangabandhu and most of his family on the fateful night of August 15, 1975. The self-confessed killers of August 15 assassinated Bangabandhu and 16 other members of his family, friends and relatives.
They include his wife Begum Fazilatunnesa Mujib, sons Sheikh Kamal, Sheikh Jamal and Sheikh Russell, daughters-in-law Sultana Kamal and Rosy Jamal, brother Sheikh Naser, brother-in-law Abdur Rab Serniabat, nephew and eminent journalist Sheikh Fazlul Huq Moni, his pregnant wife Arzoo Moni and Colonel Jamil.
Bangabandhu's two daughters – Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina and Sheikh Rehana – could escape the carnage as they were staying abroad at this time.
After placing wreaths, the President and the Prime Minister stood in solemn silence for sometime showing respect to the great leader of the Bengali nation.
A smartly turned out contingent of Bangladesh Armed Forces gave state salute at that time, while bugle played tune of grief and somber to the last post.
Prayers were offered seeking eternal peace of the departed souls of the August 15 carnage.
Sheikh Rehana, Speaker Dr Shirin Sharmin Chaudhury, Chief Justice Syed Mahmud Hossain, cabinet members, Prime Minister's advisors, chiefs of three services, senior leaders of Awami League and 14-Party and senior government officials were present.
Later, Hasina, also the President of Awami League, flanked by the party leaders placed wreath at the portrait of Bangabandhu on behalf of the Awami League.
She along with her sister visited the historic residence of Bangabandhu at Dhanmondi after paying respect. They stayed for some times in the house which now has been turned into Bangabandhu Memorial Museum.
Later, the Prime Minister went to Banani Graveyard where her mother Bangamata Fazilatun Nesa Mujib, brothers Sheikh Kamal, Sheikh Jamal and Sheikh Russell and other martyrs of August 15 were laid to eternal rest.
She also offered Fateha and doa seeking eternal peace of the departed souls of the martyrs of August 15.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), there are more than 8,000 traffic accidents a year involving death or serious bodily injury resulting from tire failures. Though many of these accidents are attributable to the vehicle owner's failure to properly inflate his or her tires, or other misuses of tires, many tire failures and the resulting injuries are caused by manufacturing defects, design defects, or the tire manufacturer's failure to warn tire users of the dangers inherent in many tires. At the Allen & Abaray, P.A., we put our many years of injury law experience to work on behalf of individuals injured by tire failures.
The most notorious form of tire-related injury is tire tread separation. This was the defect involved in the Bridgestone/Firestone tires mounted on the Ford Explorer, which was linked to the deaths of 271 people and thousands of accidents, and which resulted in a massive recall and replacement of more than 25 million of the affected tires in 2000-2001.
When a tread belt separation occurs it often leads to a tire blowout. Even when the tread separation does not result in a blow out, it can cause the driver to lose control of the vehicle resulting in the same types of serious injuries that occur in an automobile accident. Indeed, as tire tread separations generally occur at relatively high rates of speed, they frequently result in fatal injuries.
Because defective tire cases can be very complex, you need experienced and aggressive attorneys to successfully handle them. If you believe your accident involved a defective tire please call us at Allen & Abaray, P.A. for a free consultation (863) 669-9999.
The experienced Lakeland personal injury attorneys at Allen & Abaray, P.A. aggressively pursue accident injury cases throughout the state of Florida. If you or a loved one has been injured in an auto accident, truck accident, slip and fall accident, or have suffered any type of injury because of someone else's negligence, call 1-863-669-9999 today for a free consultation.

On September 11th, 2012, Islamic militants attacked the US embassy in Libya, killing a number of Americans including US Ambassador Chris Stevens — the first US Ambassador killed in the line of duty since 1979. Then Secretary of State Clinton, in a statement following the event, began laying down a party line about a disrespectful "internet video" being responsible for spontaneously generating a mob-like effort against the embassy . However, she told her daughter, Chelsea, in an email the night of the event, that an Al Qaeda like group was responsible for the attack.
The next day, she told the Egyptian prime minister this: "We know the attack in Libya had nothing to do with the film. It was a planned attack. Not a protest." And yet she came out and told the American people something very different (opposite actually) — a fabricated story about a video. The families of the victims in Benghazi have also reported that Hillary lied to them personally about the circumstances surrounding their loved ones deaths.

Intelligent market design – panel dicussion
This high-level panel discussion brings together key stakeholders and policy experts to discuss the influence of market design on smart grid deployment in an international context involving opportunities on both the local/decentralized and the regional/interconnected level.
The event takes place in connection to the Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM9) and is organized by The Swedish Smart Grid Forum and The Smart Grid Action Network (ISGAN).
Key questions to be addressed are: how to design energy markets for a greater variety of stakeholders and roles, how to achieve energy system integration and interaction and what are the key elements in market design that we must focus on to accelerate deployment of smart grid technologies and solutions?
As input to the discussion a draft policy paper providing a first framing of opportunities and needs to accelerate smart grid deployment through market design has been prepared. Based on the discussion during this side event the document will be further developed and communicated to CEM9 participants (entirely or partially) to stimulate a continued in-depth policy discussion and to define priority actions to push the market design agenda forward.
The number of seats is limited and priority will be given to CEM-delegates. Please register your interest by sending an email to in...@swedishsmartgrid.se stating your name, title and name of company/organization.
