A few updates on U.S. President Barack Obama's first days in office:
- One of the last updates to Change.gov, Obama's transition site, was a video about the transition's Technology, Innovation and Government Reform working group, which discusses OA to public sector information and alludes favorably to the open data aspects of the Human Genome Project. (Thanks to techPresident.)
- Obama's nominee for Secretary of Energy, Steven Chu, was confirmed by the Senate and took office. (See our past post about Chu's OA connection.)
- The new WhiteHouse.gov includes terms that third-party content on the site will be licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution License. (U.S. government content is already in the public domain.) See also Michael Geist's comparison to the terms of Canada's Prime Minister's site.
- Obama's WhiteHouse.gov also allows more spidering (and archiving) than the previous tenant's. See also the comments at techPresident and the Center for Democracy and Technology.
- An early Obama memo on the Freedom of Information Act states that beyond responding to public requests for information, "agencies should take affirmative steps to make information public". Another early memo addresses transparency and open government. See comments by the Center for Democracy and Technology, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Sunlight Foundation, and American Library Association.

In simple terms, a sphere is a solid round ball. To calculate the mass of a sphere, you must know the size (volume) of the sphere and its density. You might calculate volume using the sphere's radius, circumference or diameter. You can also submerge the sphere in water to find its volume by displacement. Once you know the volume, you can multiply by the density to find the mass.

Meanwhile to the northwest, residents in Barron County are trying to move forward after a tornado leveled most homes in a trailer park near Chetek (sheh-TEK').
Amazingly, Nolan escaped with just a couple of scratches, he said. The National Weather Service confirmed the EF3 tornado was actually on the ground for 27 miles with maximum winds of about 165 mph.
The weather service says the twister packed winds of 120 to 130 miles per hour, or even slightly stronger, when it hit the park near Chetek on Tuesday evening. We have several homes that were completely destroyed.
Walker will survey what's left of the Prairie Lakes Estates Mobile Home Park near Chetek Wednesday afternoon where 46-year-old Eric Gavin was killed. Samuelson's daughters suffered minor injuries.
"This was a supercell that developed, a discrete storm", he said Tuesday night.
"Large hail, tornadoes and wind damage also will be possible outside of these areas across parts of the southern and central Plains".
Firefighters work the site of the damage after a tornado ripped through Prairie Lake Estates trailer home park, just north of Chetek, Wis., Tuesday, May 16, 2017. Mayor Jeff Martin in nearby Chetek (sheh-TEK') says turkeys can be seen wandering in the damage.
The Barron County Department of Health and Human Services is asking the public for now to not to bring more donations to an emergency shelter set up at Mosaic Telecom in Cameron, because of limited space.
Images shot from a helicopter for CNN affiliate KFOR showed homes with their roofs ripped off. Photos from the scene showed flattened homes and debris and furniture strewn across streets.
Tornadoes reportedly touched down in five states on Tuesday night, including Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Texas, in addition to Wisconsin. "I thank the Wisconsin National Guard, Wisconsin Emergency Management, and all state agencies for their coordinated response to this emergency".
One person was killed and about 50 to 75 homes were damaged Tuesday night when tornadoes tore a path through an Elk City subdivision, said Danny Ringer, a chaplain with the Elk City Fire Department.
According to CBS Minnesota, besides firefighters and paramedics, the Red Cross also rushed to the trailer park to give assistance to the injured and those whose homes had been destroyed by the tornado. "Some strong, long-lived tornadoes are expected, along with hail to near 4 inches in diameter, over parts of Kansas and Oklahoma", forecasters at the center said. It was not immediately known if there were injuries. The Storm Prediction Center website mentioned that in 2011, when deadly tornadoes struck Alabama, Mississippi, and Joplin, Missouri, 20 percent of the 551 fatalities that year, accounting for 111 lives, were people who lived in mobile homes.

Metro Manila prepares for 'Juan'
Authorities in Metro Manila on Sunday ordered to bring down billboards to "give way" to typhoon "Juan" (Megi).
Most outdoor advertisers had brought down their billboards to prevent them from causing damage to life and property once "Juan" hits.
Only support structures were left standing in areas where billboards, especially those mounted above high buildings, were placed.
Over the weekend, authorities appealed to outdoor advertisers to bring down their billboards, citing past typhoons where billboards that fell on houses or vehicles caused deaths and injuries. Julian Labores

Candidates of the far left and the far right have joined to claim fraud at the polls in this week's congressional elections in the Philippines, but the evidence indicates that these allegations are the excuses of losers. Independent observers agree that voting in fact was conducted fairly, with the latest results pointing to a powerful rejection of political extremism and sweeping success for candidates endorsed by President Corazon Aquino. It will now be up to the new Congress to show whether this triumph of democratic good sense will also be taken as a mandate for imperative economic change.
The constitution approved by Filipinos earlier this year gives Congress considerable powers while limiting the president to a single six-year term. This makes the still hugely popular Aquino something of a lame duck, even as it gives the Congress--particularly the 24-member Senate--scope and incentive for the pursuit of individual political ambitions. The candidates endorsed by Aquino are by no means candidates who will be supportive of Aquino. Her slate was a coalition of convenience, embracing a good part of the political spectrum save its most flagrant extremes. The expectation is that the coalition will almost immediately start to fragment as its members jockey for power and advantage.

The drug ocrelizumab was found effective in the treatment of multiple sclerosis in three different large-scale, multi-center trials conducted recently, reports a new study. Multiple sclerosis is an autoimmune disease where human body is attacked by its own immune system.
Ocrelizumab For Multiple Sclerosis
Ocrelizumab, with the brand name Ocrevus, has been found to be effective against both primary progressive multiple sclerosis and relapsing multiple sclerosis.
The drugs developed by far to treat the condition targeted the T cells whereas ocrelizumab targets and destroys the B cells of the immune system. Ocrelizumab has been tested in three different clinical trials. In two of the trials, OPERA I and OPERA II, the drug was tested against RMS and in the ORATORIO trial it was tested against PPMS.
Ocrelizumab Against Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis
The large-scale trials that involved investigators from various countries was funded by Hoffman-La Roche (Roche), the patent holder of ocrelizumab. In the OPERA trials the efficacy of the drug was compared with interferon beta-1a (Rebif), which has been regarded as the standard drug for multiple sclerosis.
Using magnetic resonance imaging, researchers found that ocrelizumab was 95 percent more effective in reducing the inflammatory lesions in the brain than interferon beta-1a. Ocrelizumab also reduced the symptoms of relapses by 47 percent and disability by 43 percent when compared to interferon.
Stephen Hauser, the chairperson of the Scientific Steering Committee for the OPERA trial, said that the reduction in inflammatory lesions observed in the trial was "unprecedented."
Ocrelizumab Against Progressive Multiple Sclerosis
Meanwhile, for the ORATORIO trial, since there is no standard drug available for the treatment of PPMS by far, the efficiency of ocrelizumab was compared with placebo. The drug was observed to have reduced the progression of disability and other symptoms of worsening of the disease significantly, which wasn't achieved before with any other treatments. The side effects of ocrelizumab in all the three trials were low to moderate infection and infusion-related reactions.
In multiple sclerosis, the immune system's T cells attack the myelin sheath of the brain, optic nerves and spinal cord. The inflammation thus caused damages the nervous system and results in a wide range of symptoms including fatigue, muscle weakness and difficulty in vision. People with RMS experience complete or partial recovery whereas those suffering from PPMS experience steadily worsening systems without any remission.
"This work, which we hope will have great benefits for the millions of people with MS, is the result of a longstanding collaboration between the global scientific community and industry," said Hauser in a press release.
Marketing applications for ocrelizumab are currently being reviewed by the U.S. Food And Drug Administration as well as the European Medicines Agency. The drug has also been

Pete Denny's Brushy Hill RanchTexas
Website Address posted for sponsors only
South Carolina
The ranch was advertized as a Day Lease with "lots of hogs". They do not have lots of hogs at all. They have a few hogs that are very spooky because the hogs are overhunted by the ranch management! This guy had the nerve to actually come by our camp and ask where we were hunting because he liked to hunt the hogs by slowly driving the roads with his headlights off and then stalking them from his truck! He was doing this on property we had leased from the ranch owner! We had four very good hog hunters, and only managed to kill two hogs in four days! We only saw six hogs on the entire hunt. Needless to say, we will not be returning to this ranch, and would not recommend it to others. The manager's name is Nick Anderson.
Was the outfitter notified of problems? - NO
First of all, we hate to hear that ANYONE that hunts with us didn't have a good time; but it is "hunting" and not "killing" and we are a low fence, fair chase ranch. Second of all, the hunters that posted this review did kill 2 boars in the 175-200 pound range.
Now, as to me over hunting the hogs on the ranch- it's kind of laughable considering we have 13,000 acres and we couldn't kill all the hogs on this ranch even if we tried and even if we helicoptered them! Smaller neighboring ranches that are high fenced are not even able to eradicate the hog population with trapping, gun hunting dogs and helicopter hunting combined! I do hunt the ranch myself- it's a perk of the job and who wouldn't? Besides, my own hunting makes me a more successful guide for my guided clients and helps me to advise hunters of what game is moving and where. That said, I am only permitted to hunt when there are no clients hunting in a particular pasture and, if I'm lucky, I have time and freedom to hunt 1-2 days per month. I also offer semi-guided and fully guided hunts (for an additional charge) which these gentlemen chose not to do.
This review said I, "had the nerve" to go up to the camp and tell these gentlemen that I hunt the same 7000 acre pasture and how I spot from a truck and then stalk the hogs. You be the judge whether that was inappropriate. Part of my job as the ranch manager is to check on the hunters and to try and offer them advice on where to find the game they are after and how best to set up for them; because most people have never hunted a piece of property this large and we try to help them out. So, that's what I did. I went to camp and marked their map with all the spots that I know (from personal experience) to be good areas for hog hunting and I shared with them my favorite method of hunting hogs during the full moon (which it was) - in the hopes that they would do the same and be successful. If that was inappropriate or rude, I don't know what to say. Our other hunters always seem to appreciate the advice and many hunters use the same method or hire me to guide them and teach them how to do it. In the case of these gentlemen, though, they chose to ignore the advice and to take offense at the offering of it; despite the fact they live in another state and are not familiar with hunting in Texas or this property. In addition, the gentlemen that posted this review did not use tactics or setups that are commonly used here and are known to be successful. Another hunter that hunts with us regularly throughout the year and is VERY successful at hunting hogs, and who is from the same region of the country as the gentlemen who posted this review, even tried to help these hunters by offering his advice; and it was (somewhat rudely) dismissed.
Finally, in regard to the comment posted about hunting in the area these gentlemen "leased" - as they stated, this is a "day lease" property and they only leased it for the time they were here; but, during the time they hunted with us, NO ONE hunted in the 7000 acres that we gave to them to hunt! In addition, 4 hunters would normally be given access to 2-3000 acres but since we did not have many hunters that week, we gave them 7000 acres to hunt!
We are not a "canned hunt" and because we are a large low-fence ranch that is hunted year-round, the hunting is not as easy as it is at a small, stocked and high-fenced ranch. Perhaps that's what these gentlemen were expecting; but our website (www.BrushyHill.com) makes it very clear that we're low fenced and fair chase. We have a large population of deer, turkey and hogs but there is no way to guarantee success to each hunter. However we do have a lot of successful hunters who come back year after year because the hunting is good and the price is right. This includes the Lone Star Bowhunter's Association that hosted their 9th annual "Grunts & Gobbles Fellowship Hunt" in the same pasture the day these gentlemen left. Our 15 year track record as Texas' biggest bowhunting-only ranch is evidence of the quality of the property and the hunting. Unfortunately, we can't make every hunter happy or successful - especially when our advice is ignored.
Nick Anderson
P.S. This group of hunters never came to anyone with a complaint or to ask for help, while they were on the ranch and the first we heard of them being unhappy was an email from this website notifying us of a negative review and offering a chance for us to respond. Even the gentleman's own review shows (at the bottom of the review) that they did not notify us that they had any problems; in spite of the fact that I stopped in every day to check on them. AND, I forgot to mention that these gentlemen knocked a powerline off one of our cabins with the RV they brought and never mentioned a word to us- they simply stayed in the other cabin. We only found out when another hunter mentioned that he pointed out to them that the power line was wrapped around their RV when they were complaining about the refrigerator not working in that cabin!

AB 14, crucial bill against dark money, is in the Assembly Elections Committee!
Nearly $1 billion dollars was spent on California ballot measures the last three elections, most of it hiding behind misleading names. It's corrupting our democracy.
We must stop secret money in political ads ― which AB 14, the California DISCLOSE Act, will do.
AB 14 requires ballot measure ads – and ads about candidates by outside groups like SuperPACs – to clearly and prominently disclose the real names of their top 3 funders, right on the ads themselves. Finally, Californians will see who's really trying to buy our elections. This will make a huge difference!
AB 14 soon faces a do-or-die vote in the Assembly Elections Committee. It won't pass without support of the committee members and the leadership of Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon.
Sign the petition to Assembly Speaker Anthony Rendon and the committee members saying that you're counting on them to lead against Dark Money in politics by passing AB 14 — even if you've signed another petition!
With more secretive Big Money than ever in the last election – and buying elections on every level – California must lead the nation out of this mess now. That's why over 30,000 Californians have already signed petitions for AB 14 and Clean Money volunteers are gathering thousands of signatures at rallies and marches this month.
We need to make sure that the Assembly Elections Committee doesn't delay AB 14 or require amendments letting Dark Money billionaires off the hook by watering down its disclosure requirements.
Sign the petition to the Assembly Elections Committee for AB 14 now — even if you've signed another petition for it!
Here's what the petition says:
"It's wrong to allow political ads to intentionally mislead voters about who paid for them. That's why we need your leadership to pass AB 14 to ensure ballot measure ads and SuperPAC attack ads must show their true funders — even if powerful interests oppose it.
This is a moment of truth. Don't allow the Elections Committee to delay or amend AB 14 to let Dark Money billionaires off the hook at the expense of our democracy."

Nelson A. Denis
A Tale of Two Governors
"Porto Ricans are a heterogenous mass of mongrels incapable of self-government… savages addicted to head-hunting and cannibalism."
– Senator William B. Bate (D-Tennessee)
"The whole hemisphere will be ours in fact. By virtue of our superiority of race, it already is ours morally."
– President William Howard Taft
On May 12, 1898, twelve US Navy ships bombarded San Juan for three hours. The sky turned black with cannon smoke. Homes were hit. Streets were torn. El Morro lighthouse and La Iglesia de San José, a 16th century church, were shelled repeatedly. Thirty thousand people fled the town in abject terror.
A few weeks later, planting his flag in the Ponce town square, US commander Gen. Nelson A. Miles, declared that:
"The chief object of the American military forces will be…to give to the people of your beautiful island the largest measure of liberties consistent with military occupation.
We have not come to make war against a people of a country that for centuries has been oppressed, but on the contrary, to bring you protection, to promote your prosperity, to bestow upon you the immunities and blessings of the liberal institutions of our government…and to give the advantages and blessings of enlightened civilization."
General Nelson A. Miles
The "blessings" and "advantages" were few. Instead, immediately after the US invasion of 1898, a wave of carpetbaggers swarmed over the island like a plague of locusts. Within forty years, they picked her clean of her natural resources. Any Puerto Rican who opposed this too vigorously was shot, imprisoned, or simply "disappeared."
Every few years, the US government sent four men to ensure this colonial relationship: the Chief Auditor of the island, the Treasurer, the Chief of Police, and the Governor.
The Governor had the greatest authority, since he could hire and fire the other three.
Let us examine two of those governors.
CHARLES HERBERT ALLEN – the sugar king (1900-01)
Charles Herbert Allen
Charles Herbert Allen was the first civilian governor of Puerto Rico (1900-1901). Though he never served in the military, he loved to dress in military regalia and have people address him as "Colonel."
Allen arrived on the island like a Roman conqueror with a naval cannon salute, the Eleventh United States Infantry Band blaring in front of him, and hundreds of armed men marching behind him.
It was a rainy, nebulous day – unusually dark for the island of Puerto Rico.
An assistant held an umbrella over Allen's head, as he marched through the heart of San Juan, and into the governor's mansion.
The mansion was gift-wrapped. Allen delivered his inaugural address behind the largest, most imperial flags that Puerto Ricans had ever seen.
Gov. Allen wasted no time. He immediately created a budget for the entire island – within a matter of weeks, and with little consultation or oversight. This "dark room budget" had its uses.
By raising property taxes, withholding municipal and agricultural loans, and freezing all building repair and school construction funds, Allen raided the island treasury and re-directed its budget to subsidies for U.S.-owned farm syndicates, no-bid contracts for U.S. businessmen, and roads built by agents from his father's Massachusetts lumber business (Otis Allen Lumber), at double the old costs.
Through his dark room budget, Allen also created new agencies, offices and salary lines – all filled by U.S. bureaucrats. By the time Allen left in 1901, nearly all of the governor's 11-member Executive Council were U.S. expatriates and half the appointive offices in the government of Puerto Rico had been given to visiting Americans, 626 of them at top salaries.
But Allen developed a larger plan. Throughout his "First Annual Report" to U.S. President McKinley, there are clear indications of where Allen was headed:
"The soil of this island is remarkably productive…as rich as the delta of the Mississippi or the valley of the Nile."
"With American capital and American energies, the labor of the natives can be utilized to the lasting benefit of all parties."
"Porto Rico is really the 'rich gate' to future wealth… by that indomitable thrift and industry which have always marked the pathway of the Anglo-Saxon."
"The yield of sugar per acre is greater than in any other country in the world."
"A large acreage of lands, which are now devoted to pasturage, could be devoted to the culture of sugar cane."
"The cost of sugar production is $10 per ton cheaper than in Java, $11 cheaper than in Hawaii, $12 cheaper than in Cuba, $17 cheaper than in Egypt, $19 cheaper than in the British West Indies, and $47 cheaper than in Louisiana and Texas."
This was no mere "First Annual Report" to the President. It was a business plan for a sugar empire, and Allen quickly staked his claim. A few weeks after handing in this report, on September 15, 1901, Allen resigned as governor and headed straight to Wall Street, where he joined the House of Morgan as vice-president of both the Morgan Trust Company, and the Guaranty Trust Company of New York.
Allen built the largest sugar syndicate in the world, and his hundreds of political appointees in Puerto Rico provided him with land grants, tax subsidies, water rights, railroad easements, foreclosure sales and favorable tariffs.
Sugar cane railroad, owned by U.S. banking syndicates
By 1907 Allen's syndicate, the American Sugar Refining Company, owned or controlled 98% of the sugar processing capacity in the United States and was known as the Sugar Trust. By 1910 Allen was Treasurer of the American Sugar Refining Company, by 1913 he was its President, and by 1915 he sat on its Board of Directors.
By 1930, 45 percent of all the arable land in Puerto Rico had been converted into sugar plantations owned by Charles Herbert Allen and US banking syndicates. These syndicates also owned the insular postal system, the entire coastal railroad, and the San Juan international seaport.
To put it plainly: as the first civilian governor of Puerto Rico, Charles H. Allen used his governorship to acquire an international sugar empire, and a controlling interest over the entire Puerto Rican economy.
You may have heard of Charles Allen's sugar empire. Today, it is known as Domino Sugar.
GENERAL BLANTON WINSHIP – the enforcer (1934-39)
Gen. Blanton Winship
Within a few years, Puerto Ricans began to question the benevolence of their neighbor from the north. They began to wonder how they'd lost ownership of their own land, to giant sugar cane centrales that were wholly owned by US banking interests. They questioned how they could work 12 hours a day, 60 hours a week, and yet their families were still starving.
In 1929, one writer stated it very clearly:
"Puerto Rico has become a land of beggars and millionaires, of flattering statistics and distressing realities. More and more it becomes a factory worked by peons, fought over by lawyers, bossed by absent industrialists, and clerked by politicians. It is now Uncle Sam's second-largest sweatshop."
The situation became so desperate that, in 1934, the entire island went on a massive agricultural strike. The workers all refused to work 12 hours a day, for the starvation wages of 4 cents per hour, 45 cents per day.
Sugar cane workers on strike in Yabucoa
The US corporations became so alarmed that they formed the Citizens Committee of One Thousand for the Preservation of Peace and Order, and cabled President Roosevelt that "A state of actual anarchy exists. Towns in state of siege, police impotent, business paralyzed." Roosevelt responded by appointing a US Army general from Macon, Georgia as the next governor of Puerto Rico: General Blanton Winship.
From the moment he arrived, General Winship proceeded to militarize the entire island. He urged the building of a $4 million naval air base on the island, whose cost ultimately ballooned to $112,570,000. He created new, vigorous police training camps and spent his weekends touring them, along with every US military installation.
General Winship reviews U.S. Navy troops in Puerto Rico
He added hundreds of men to the insular police force, equipping each unit with machine guns, tear gas, and riot control equipment. He also established a Tommy gun training program for members of the Insular Police force.
Policeman with a tommy gun, issued by Gov. Winship
The General did not know much about economics or legislative procedure – in fact, his only major legislative proposals were more gardens throughout Puerto Rico, and the death penalty for Puerto Ricans.
But Winship understood power, force and fear. This was the man that Franklin Delano Roosevelt sent to solve "the Puerto Rican problem." He was not sent to negotiate. He was sent to crush labor strikes, subdue Nationalists, and kill them if necessary. It didn't take long for this to happen.
On October 24, 1935, General Winship's police surrounded the University of Puerto Rico campus in Rio Piedras to ensure a "peaceful" student meeting – but instead of maintaining "peace," they shot and killed three Nationalists. They also killed a man named Juan Muñoz Jiménez, who was out buying a lottery ticket.
Four days after the massacre, Winship's Chief of Police declared to several island newspapers that, if the political agitation continued, he was ready to wage:
"war to the death against all Puerto Ricans."
ELIAS BEAUCHAMP and HIRAM ROSADO
On February 23, 1936, two Nationalists named Hiram Rosado and Elias Beauchamp were arrested, dragged into the San Juan District Station, and shot within one hour.

A photo of Hiram Rosado, dead in the police station, appeared in the newspapers.
According to these papers, when Gov. Winship's policemen drew their guns to execute him, Rosado stated, "Disparen pare que vean como muere un hombre." ("Go ahead and shoot. Then you'll see how a man dies.")
Hiram Rosado, killed in the police station
On that same night of February 23rd two more Nationalists, Angel Mario Martinez and Pedro Crespo, were shot and killed by police in the town of Utuado.
The next day, from all over the island, thousands of mourners flocked into San Juan in a massive outpouring of grief and support. Winship tried to stop the marchers, but there were simply too many of them.
At the funeral services for Rosado and Beauchamp, Nationalist Party President Albizu Campos declared:
"The murder at Rio Piedras was his work… General Blanton Winship, who occupies La Fortaleza. Cold-blooded murder, to perpetuate murder as a method of government, is being carried out by the entire police force."
Immediately after the assassination of the four Nationalists (Beauchamp, Rosado, Martinez and Crespo) General Winship unleashed a reign of terror throughout the island. On February 25, 1936, he convened a press conference and demanded the death penalty in Puerto Rico.
"I have recommended the passage of a death penalty to the legislature of Puerto Rico. This is absolutely necessary, in order to combat the wave of criminality on this island… I will enforce law and order in Puerto Rico no matter what the cost."
Winship grew bolder. He prohibited all public demonstrations, including speeches at funerals. He declared martial law in random areas – the police would lay siege to those areas, conduct warrantless searches, break into people's homes, and prevent other residents from entering or leaving the zone.
Despite this police repression, or perhaps because of it, groups of students began to lower the American flag from public schools, and to raise the Puerto Rican flag instead. At the Central High School in San Juan, the police arrested four students "standing guard" over their island's flag.
With the appointment of Gen. Blanton Winship as governor of Puerto Rico, President Roosevelt had gotten his expected result: the complete militarization of Puerto Rico, and the establishment of a police state.
Then came the Ponce Massacre.
The Ponce Massacre occurred on Palm Sunday in 1937. Here is a diagram of the event.
Winship's policemen clearly encircled the unarmed men, women and children. In the upper right of the photo, we see the machine gunners marching down Calle Marina. In the bottom half of the photo, policemen block the entire street. From left to right the police are all drawing, pointing or firing their weapons. In the lower left civilians are trying to run away, with policemen right behind them. A cloud of gun smoke billows over their heads.
Within minutes, the street was filled with broken bodies and blood – 17 men, women and children murdered in broad daylight. Dozens maimed for life. Over 200 wounded. These policemen were all acting under the orders of Police Chief, who reported directly to General Blanton Winship.
To add insult to injury, Winship then tried to frame the victims; he forced the Ponce District Attorney to create false evidence and testimony, so that the Nationalists could be imprisoned for murdering…themselves.
If it weren't for the photo you've just seen, General Winship would have gotten away with it.
One year after the Ponce Massacre, Winship decided to stage a massive military demonstration – precisely in Ponce, the town where he'd orchestrated the Ponce Massacre. The reviewing stand was in Plaza Degetau, just two blocks from the site of the massacre, where the bullet holes still pockmarked the battered buildings. Winship chose this location to "send a message" to Puerto Ricans, regardless of the personal anguish it might inflict.

Winship is second from right.
Finally on May 11, 1939, Congressman Vito Marcantonio shouted a speech on the floor of the U.S. House of Representatives which listed, in great detail:
"The tyrannical acts of the Governor in depriving the people of Puerto Rico of their civil rights, the corruption and rackets that existed and were made possible only by the indulgence of the Governor, and the extraordinary waste of the people's money."
The very next day, FDR removed Winship from the governorship of Puerto Rico.
Immediately after leaving the governor's mansion, Winship became a lobbyist for the US corporations and sugar syndicates that owned the economy of Puerto Rico. His job was to persuade the US Congress to exempt Puerto Rico from the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act; and he was performing brilliantly until Congressman Marcantonio fired another fusillade in the U.S. House:
"(I)n keeping with his five years of terror in Puerto Rico, he acted the part of the slimy lobbyist, and fought by means fair and foul to have the wage-and-hour law amended so that the sugar companies could pay 12 ½ cents instead of 25 cents an hour, and thereby gain $5,000,000 a year…so that the system of abysmal wage slavery could be perpetuated in Puerto Rico. Up to the very closing days of Congress this kicked-out Governor fought to have Puerto Rican workers removed from the protection of the wage-and-hour law."
Winship was defeated. The workers got their 25 cents an hour – but the general was never indicted for his deadly actions in Puerto Rico. He was given a comfortable command during World War II, and finished his career as the oldest active soldier in the US military. He even prosecuted Nazi war criminals at the Nuremberg Trials, for their crimes against humanity.
Winship was walking tall, waving documents, pointing fingers, trying other people for their crimes against humanity. This was ethical and righteous…because his crimes were committed in Puerto Rico, and therefore they didn't count.
Nazi saboteur commission, Washington D.C.
Commissioner Winship sits third from right.
The hypocrisy of sending Blanton Winship to prosecute Nazi war criminals, was a fitting coda to the symphony of sleaze and slaughter that the US bestowed on Puerto Rico in the name of good government.
Charles Herbert Allen wired the Puerto Rican economy. Blanton Winship terrorized any Puerto Ricans who complained about it.
Other governors sent by the US were nearly as disastrous – E. Montgomery Reily, Robert Gore, Regis Post – a cavalcade of carpetbaggers, all treating Puerto Rico like the wild, wild west: a place to get rich quick, shoot the natives if necessary, then hurry back to Christian civilization.
The formula worked for many decades. As Calvin Coolidge said, the business of America is business.
For a blow-by-blow description of how these governors ruled over the island, and lined their pockets while doing it, please read…

5.10H STANDARDS OF CONSTRUCTION, CUSTOM AND USAGE IN INDUSTRY OR TRADE model jury charge
A. Effect of Proof of Industry Standard1
Some evidence has been produced in this case as to the standard of construction in the industry. Such evidence may be considered by you in determining whether the defendant's negligence has been established. If you find that the defendant did not comply with that standard, you may find the defendant to have been negligent. However, the general custom of the industry, although evidential as to what is the reasonable standard in such industry, does not conclusively establish the care the defendant was required to exercise in the performance of its operations. Compliance with an industry standard is not necessarily conclusive as to the issue of negligence, and does not, of itself, absolve the defendant from liability. The defendant must still exercise reasonable care under all the circumstances, and if you find that the prevailing practices in the industry do not comply with that standard, the defendant may be found negligent
1 Where it is alleged that a contractor violated the Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) regulations, such violation is treated similarly to a violation of an industry standard. See Costa v. Gaccione, 408 N.J. Super. 362, 372 (App. Div. 2009) (citing Alloway v. Bradlees, Inc., 157 N.J. 221, 236 (1999) ("violation of OSHA regulations without more does not constitute the basis for an independent or direct tort remedy.") Thus, as with industry standards, OSHA regulations are pertinent in determining the nature and extent of any duty of care, but compliance with OSHA does not preclude a finding of negligence and, conversely, non-compliance with OSHA does not preclude a finding that there was no negligence. Id. at 237. CHARGE 5.10H ― Page 2 of 2

Michael Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11 opened with some serious box office thunder in New York City on Wednesday, breaking several long-held house records. In fact, its $49,000 performance at the Loews Village 7 theater in Greenwich Village was so strong, the theater decided to run the film 24 hours a day. Loews Village 7's previous single-day record of $43,435 was set by Men In Black on July 4th, 1997 (NOTE: holiday weekend). At New York's Lincoln Plaza theater the film grossed over $30,000, beating the previous mark of $24,013 set in 2000 by Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.
Reports on Saturday morning have estimated Friday's grosses ranging from $6-8 million (Variety) to $8.2 million (Box Office Mojo). Astonishing numbers which, if the usual pattern holds true, could amount to opening weekend grosses of more than $30,000,000, putting it the number one documentary of all time in its first 5 days of release (excluding large format, concert, compilation and reality TV movies). Moore's previous film, Bowling For Columbine, took more than 11 months to reach its eventual domestic total of $21,575,958.

When we consult with clients, their biggest concern is that they have to pay an investigator a large upfront fee. If the investigator is unsuccessful they end up paying a huge fee, with nothing to show for it. As a result, many people turn to do-it-yourself websites that promise the world but produce nothing more than stale, outdated information and worthless old addresses.

The ancient parish church of St Mary Magdalen retains Norman work in the chancel, which terminates in an eastern apse.
The church of St Mary Magdalen and St Denis is a large Perpendicular building.
It was erected in 1836-1841 on the site of the convent of St Mary Magdalen and escaped the conflagration of 1842.
View more
The dedication to Mary Magdalen was no doubt derived from the hospital at Winchester of which the founder had been master.
It is the object of an ancient and famous pilgrimage due to the tradition that Mary, sister of the Virgin, and Mary, mother of James and John, together with their black servant Sara, Lazarus, Martha, Mary Magdalen and St Maximin fled thither to escape persecution in Judaea.
He died on the r rth of May 1486, and was buried in the chantry chapel of St Mary Magdalen behind the high altar in Winchester cathedral, which he had erected in his lifetime.
An arched opening in this front reveals the central group of eight figures surrounding the tomb, that of Mary Magdalen in the foreground being remarkably lifelike and expressive.

Panoramic photography creates fascinating images. Very wide angle images are closer to the human field of view than conventional pictures. If seen through a panoramic viewer they let us experience a location as if we were there. Panoramic image stitching can create panoramas from pictures taken one after another. Unfortunately, acquiring the images takes a lot of time and moving objects may cause ghosting. It is also difficult to obtain a full spherical panorama, because the downward picture cannot be captured while the camera is mounted on the tripod.
In this work, we present a throwable panoramic camera that solves these problems. The camera is thrown into the air and captures an image at the highest point of flight - when it is hardly moving. The camera takes full spherical panoramas, requires no preparation and images are taken instantaneously. It can capture scenes with many moving objects without producing ghosting artifacts and creates unique images.
Our camera uses 36 fixed-focus 2 megapixel mobile phone camera modules. The camera modules are mounted in a robust, 3D-printed, ball-shaped enclosure that is padded with foam and handles just like a ball. Our camera contains an accelerometer which we use to measure launch acceleration. Integration lets us predict rise time to the highest point, where we trigger the exposure. After catching the ball camera, pictures are downloaded in seconds using USB and automatically shown in our spherical panoramic viewer. This lets users interactively explore a full representation of the captured environment.
We used the camera to capture full spherical panoramas at scenic spots, in a crowded city square and in the middle of a group of people taking turns in throwing the camera. Above all we found that it is a very enjoyable, playful way to take pictures.

Ok... what's going on? My iPhone wasn't working and then yesterday it suddenly kicked in and started again, downloading emails by the hundred. I did what any self respecting gadget queen would do and looked it up on the web. I came across an MA research paper entitled 'Disruptive effects of electromagnetic interference on communication and electronic systems.' I thought it would give me answers.
Essentially the summary is this, and I quote:
"As the reliance on wireless data networks and transmission systems increases to include more critical systems, unintentional and intentional interference have the ability to disrupt these systems and cause temporary or permanent failures, which have the ability to cause catastrophic results due to the unavailability of these wireless data links and the information which they carry. The most effective protection against these types of disruptions is to conduct susceptibility assessments and provide measures of protection against known interference sources at the data link design phase and attempt to protect against currently unknown or unanticipated interference sources using measures employed after system deployment."
So effectively, we know that the more we use our phones, we can get disruption from unintentional and intentional sources. And we need protection. Mmmm no flaw in the argument. Only problem is I could have told you that. For once in my life I actually realise the work I did for my Doctorate was actually ok and at least I came out with some interesting research that said something new. And it's only taken me 9 years to realise it. So thank you to my iPhone for not working for a couple of days... I'm still none the wiser as to why, but at least I have a sense of pride!

The fate of Argentina's legal battle with hedge fund holdouts from its 2001 default could come to a head—or even a conclusion—today.
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to consider Argentina's request that the justices hear its appeal of lower-court rulings ordering it to pay creditors who rejected its restructuring, led by Elliott Associates. The court could choose to take the case, wait to decide or reject the petition, with an announcement as soon as Monday.
If it takes the latter course, it is likely to force Argentina to default on its restructured debt, potentially keeping the country out of the international debt market for years more to come. Argentina's lawyers argued in a recent memo to the country's economics minister that a default and restructuring of the bonds outside the bounds of U.S. courts would be the country's best option should the Supreme Court refuse to hear the case, and President Cristina Kirchner has vowed never to pay the holdouts, which she calls "vulture funds."
That default could come as soon as the end of the month, when Argentina is due to pay $523 million in interest on its restructured bonds. The lower courts have ruled that the country cannot pay those bondholders, who accepted a roughly 67% haircut, without also making payments on the defaulted debt, citing the pari passu clause in the original debt agreement, requiring that bondholders be treated equally.
Argentina could also choose to negotiate with Elliott and the other holdouts, such as Aurelius Capital Management, in an effort to avoid another default. Both Elliott and Aurelius have indicated an openness to talks.
If, however, the court chooses to hear the case, or makes no decision at all, it could be a year or longer—before there is any resolution. Should the justices accept the petition, it would not likely hear the case until the fall, with no ruling until next year. Should they punt, perhaps by asking the White House to weigh in, they might not decide whether to hear the case until the fall, pushing everything back further.
Argentina argues that the rulings in favor of the hedge funds violate its sovereign immunity and "threaten the well-being of Argentina and its citizens, as well as the countless holders of performing Argentine debt, many of whom are U.S. institutional investors and individuals."
The Supreme Court is already considering Argentina's appeal of subpoenas issued to its banks, having heard arguments in April. The court appeared skeptical of Argentina's argument that those banks should have blanket immunity from subpoenas.

New Delhi: Three men facing trial in a case of attempt to commit culpable homicide not amounting to murder have been let off by a Delhi court due to contradictions in testimonies of the complainant and a witness.
Extending the benefit of the doubt to accused Imranuddin, Samruddin and Shahabuddin, Additional Sessions Judge Narinder Kumar acquitted the trio as testimonies of the complainant and one of the witnesses were contradictory, while another witness had pleaded ignorance about the incident.
"When prosecution witness Mohd Mursaleen has not supported the case of the prosecution and the ocular account of Mohd Rahis (complainant) and Mohd Haroon (witness) are in contradiction... The accused persons are entitled to acquittal," the judge said.
The accused had been put on trial on charges of attempting to commit culpable homicide not amounting to murder under Section 308 of the Indian Penal Code on Rahis` complaint.
Rahis had alleged Imranuddin and Shahabuddin, armed with rods, and Samaruddin wielding a sword had attacked him near a government school at Shadipur here on October 14, 2009 night, while he was on way back home. He was attacked by the trio due to some past enmity, he had added.
But the court let off the trio on account of differences in the versions of depositions of Rahis and witness Haroon.
"Rahis (has) stated that as a result of iron rod blow given by accused Shahabuddin on his leg, he fell down whereas Haroon (has) stated that as a result of the sword blow given by accused Samruddin, Rahis fell on the ground.
"A perusal of the statement of Rahis and Haroon would reveal they have made contradictory statements as to what led Rahis to fall on the ground," the court said, acquitting the trio.

Despite a federal court decision issued on October 9th allowing the continued construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline, the massive infrastructure project remains on hold today after the Obama administration caved to the demands of protesters and shut down access to federal lands. According to a letter written by a coalition of industry groups impacted by the construction halt and obtained by the Washington Examiner, the Obama administration's refusal to allow construction workers access to federal land is a blatant abuse of power that "ignores the rule of law."
"We write to express our deep concerns over recent actions that took place in North Dakota to effectively ignore the rule of law in an attempt to halt infrastructure development," the letter reads, reminding Lynch that "one of our nation's founding fathers, John Adams, once wrote that the United States is a 'government of laws, and not of men.'"
"This North Dakota project has complied with the procedures laid out in law, engaged in more than two years of federal review and has received the necessary federal approvals," the letter added. "Additionally, the project has been fully approved by all four states it traverses."
"Throughout this entire process, there are multiple opportunities for stakeholder engagement, whether through public fora or through written submittal," the letter states. "If stakeholders disagree with the government's final decision, there is a judicial process in place to address those concerns."
"Despite the federal judge's opinion, your agencies then jointly denied access to federal property necessary to complete the pipeline until the administration 'can determine whether it will need to reconsider any of its previous decisions' under various federal laws," the groups said. "The previous decisions now being 'reconsidered' were properly considered and made through a fair and thorough process on which the company and others are entitled to rely."
"In our 'nation of laws,' when an established legal process is complete, it is just that — complete" the letter added. "When your agencies upend or modify the results of a full and fair regulatory process for an infrastructure project, these actions do not merely impact a single company. The industries that manufacture and develop the infrastructure, the labor that builds it, and the American consumers that depend on it all suffer."
Of course, the Dakota Access Pipeline has gained national attention over the past couple of months as protests by the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe of North Dakota have grown in size and become increasingly violent. According to reports from Anti Media, protesters recently trespassed on to construction sites and destroyed nearly $2mm worth of equipment.
For the second time in recent months, someone or some group has set fire to construction equipment at the Dakota Access Pipeline site in Reasnor, Iowa. The incident, which damaged an estimated $2 million in equipment, is being treated as arson. It's unclear who set the fire, and there are currently no suspects identified.
Despite the lack of evidence or suspects, Reasnor Assistant Fire Chief Don Steenhoek laid the blame on Dakota Access Pipeline protesters. "[I]t's pretty senseless," Steenhoek told local news outlet KCCI. "They're not getting back at the pipeline. They're just hurting the guys trying to make a living and put it in."
Of course, the protests also gained in strength with a little help from Hollywood, including Bernie-supporter, Susan Sarandon.
For those that haven't followed the situation, the Dakota Access Pipeline is an 1,100 mile, 30-inch diameter pipeline intended to connect oil producers in the Bakken area of North Dakota to refining capacity and other transportation infrastructure in Patoka, Illinois. The pipeline will initially carry 470,000 barrels of oil per day with capacity as high as 570,000 barrels (roughly 50% of daily Bakken production). The pipeline is expected to cost $3.8 billion and was expected to be completed by the end of 2016 until recent protests halted construction.
Although the pipeline primarily runs along private land, federal approval was required for crossings at various bodies of water, like the Missouri River. A lawsuit, filed on behalf of the Standing Rock tribe, alleged that the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers failed to conduct the proper "cultural" reviews before approving construction. However, when that appeal was overturned on October 9th the Obama administration stepped in to shut down construction by denying workers access to federal land.
So, with several billion dollars already spent to construct various portions of the pipeline, the fate of the project, like many other things, will likely be determined by the American electorate on November 8th.

3 Tips For a More Successful Music Industry Negotiation
We negotiate all the time. We negotiate when we decide where to get lunch, and when we form a long-term management contract. We negotiate over who should do the dishes, and then over how our publishing contract will distribute royalties. But to many of us, negotiation doesn't seem like an important skill.
For a long time, I thought of negotiation as rude or manipulative. Why would I try to use tactics to get the best deal out of someone else? I'd rather just work out a fair deal as friends, or have someone else take care of the details for me. But I eventually realized my error. The art of negotiation is not about getting the best possible deal for yourself. In most cases, negotiation is about forging an agreement that helps everyone win as much as possible. And that agreement is often less likely to happen if you try to treat the negotiation as a quick agreement between friends or you let someone else make the agreement for you.
Roger Fisher and William Ury are two of the most influential negotiators of this century. According to them, negotiation is simply about finding what each party wants the most and giving it to them.
When you meet with a venue about performing that night, you're entering a negotiation. In an ideal world, you get paid, but here in Los Angeles that often doesn't happen. The venue may want you to pay to play, and recoup on a percentage of ticket sales. They may not allow you to sell vinyl or merch. And they may not promote you at all, and will expect you to handle all marketing. What started as a great opportunity has turned into a loss. But with some simple negotiation, you can turn this conversation around and find a solution that helps both parties get what they want.
1. View your discussion as a problem-solving challenge.
This tip has helped me the most in my own negotiations. Instead of viewing the other party as a friend, or as an enemy, I see both of us as partners in a challenge. The challenge is to figure out what will get both of us what we want, while strengthening our relationship at the same time. That's the best possible outcome for a tough negotiation: get a fair deal and don't burn bridges — build them.
The biggest obstacles to this kind of negotiation come from people fighting over positions, like haggling over a car with a used salesman. They start with an unreasonably high price; you counter with an unreasonably low one. You both painfully advance, position by position, like a WW2 battlefield, towards a comfortable middle ground. But this type of negotiation misses the chance to find creative solutions that will work for both sides. It causes people to dig into their positions and resist change as much as possible. It creates a conflict of wills. The chances of an amicable agreement are low.
The better way is to approach the problem as a team. You are working together to find a fair solution that builds the relationship. That means uncovering the core motivations and limitations that make up each person's position, and working to satisfy both sides. It means being open to suggestions and to change. To get into the right mindset, you can use a few simple ideas:
- Use words like "we", instead of "I" and "you"
- Stress points where you and the other party agree
- Don't be afraid to share information about why you want a certain item
- Focus on the future: how would you act if this were a long-term relationship?
2. Understand each others' motivations.
Understanding what the other party wants is not particularly important. What is vital is understanding why they want it. The hidden motivations and pressures are where you will find the problems you need to solve. Often, when it seems like the other person is being stubborn or hardheaded, it turns out they have a good reason. We aren't always quick to realize that the people we negotiate with are, most of the time, looking for the same thing as us: a win for both sides.
The venue that doesn't want to pay you may already be way under budget for the month, and cannot afford another loss. They might have restrictions over what kinds of promotions they can do for artists on social media. Uncovering these limitations can give you an opportunity to bring a creative solution. Perhaps you can film a series of 30-second teaser videos they'd love to share on social media, instead of the same bland promotional tweets. By realizing the why behind specific demands you don't want to accept, you can start to find ways around them.
One way to help uncover these motivations is to start off with small talk. That's because small talk helps people relax and become more transparent. It also provides an opportunity for issues weighing on peoples' minds to bubble up to the surface. A few minutes spent talking about that one time a band set up a nightmare merch stand at the venue may help you understand why they don't want you to sell anything after your set. In negotiation, they might just say, "No merchandise sales allowed." By understanding why they are against merch sales, you can find an amicable solution.
3. Use objective standards when there is conflict.
No matter how friendly your negotiation, no matter how profoundly you understand each others' motivations, there will come a time when your interests conflict. You want the venue to promote you; they want you to handle it all yourself. Your manager wants 20%, you only want to give 15%.
What do you do?
The most common (but least effective) solution is to engage in a battle of wills. Force the issue, and a weak negotiator may cave in to your demands — but you will almost certainly damage your relationship. No longer is it a fair agreement arrived at together. Instead, you've strong-armed your way to victory. Giving in to the demands of the other party is an equally-bad alternative. A concession will make you feel cheated, and the agreement is less likely to get completed. Pitting your will against theirs can only lead to an agreement if you back down or they do.
A better way to solve conflict is to rely on an objective standard wherever possible. Let's return to the management example. You want to give your manager 15%, but they want to receive 20%. To help with this agreement, you could step away from the table for a moment and look at what's standard in the industry. Typically, a manager will take 15% of an artist's gross, or if they're an established manager working with a new act that will require a lot of up-front work, they may take 20%. You and your manager could refer to a book like Donald Passman's Everything You Need to Know About the Music Industry and agree to use his recommendations for your agreement.
This helps remove egos and wills from the equation and refocus on what your objective standard of fairness should be. In turn, it becomes easier to reach an agreement that satisfies both sides.
Next Steps
An article can only get you so far on the path to becoming a better negotiator in music. To help you move forward, I've also collected some of the most influential books on negotiation which can help you improve your skills even more. But as you take a look at this list, remember that the only way to really improve is the same way you mastered your instrument or position — practice.
You can practice the tips I've written above in even the most simple and low-stakes of negotiation. This practice will help you prepare for when you do have a tough conversation around performance, finances, songwriting splits, writer credits, or any other of the dozens of other negotiations in music.
Good luck!

- The Muppet Show:
- On one episode, everyone is talking about how hilarious the "Banana Sketch" is — except for Kermit, who hasn't seen it, and no one will/can explain it to him. He eventually realizes they're messing with him.
- There's also the "famous" Lonely Asparagus sketch that gets Carol Burnett to stay. Carol gets into the costume and can only get out the first line before the end of the show. This also marked a rare occasion that the Muppets (deliberately?) kept their guest star in the shadows note (though Burnett ends up joining the sketches anyway), in this case so they could put on an episode-long 1930s-style dance marathon. This is oddly contrasted with the Gene Kelly episode, where Kelly resists performing throughout the entire show (he thought he'd been invited as a spectator) and the Muppets have to trick him into participating - and especially with the John Cleese episode, where Cleese refuses to even show up and the Muppets actually kidnap him and tie him up backstage until he agrees to star.
- The Sifl and Olly Show had an episode where Olly asked Chester if he liked bubbles, in which Chester responded that Olly already knew, and there was an incident with him and a kid on his school bus who blew bubbles. Nothing else about that time is explained beyond that episode, but Olly (who honestly didn't know,) had bubbles blown into Chester's room to see what would happen.

The next time you go out you will most likely pick something out of your closet that is comfortable and stylish. It may also be kind of trendy and fun. What if that item could also spread a message of hope and peace to everyone who saw it? Christian tee shirts have just that ability. They are as stylish as anything that you would find at a boutique store and have the added benefit of carrying a message that really matters instead of an advertisement. When someone sees you wearing one there will be no doubt about your faith.
Whether you want to have a fun evening out with friends or are just looking forward to a relaxing day at the park, Christian tee shirts will shine like a light on anyone who sees them. It does not take much time at all to read the message on someone's shirt and that message is usually something vulgar or offensive. A shirt that has a phrase or picture that is actually uplifting is like a refreshing drink of water to whoever reads it. It can brighten someone's day or even help them to reestablish their relationship with Jesus.
You may not feel comfortable talking to people about your faith. It really is not an easy thing to do. So many people are not receptive to the gospel, so why not let your clothing do some of the talking for you? Wearing Christian tee shirts can express your faith and love for Jesus to everyone that comes in contact with you. They can spread a message that is actually relevant and do it in a way that is not offensive to people. The fact is, you dress nice because you want people to notice.
When people see you, give them a reason to remember you. Leave them with a positive impression. Let them know that you are proud of your faith and are eager to share it with anyone who is willing to get closer to Jesus. The Christian tee shirts that are available today are fun and have fresh styles that are sure to fit anyone with just about any personality. Those that walk past you on the street or in a mall will see a distinct and interesting image that is designed to uplift rather than shock. You may never know what effect it will have, but you can bet it will be positive.

It's not what you know… It's what you

There are times that saying 'I think' just won't do. In a court room or school examination, there's no 'I think'… You either know, or you don't. Knowing what you know is referred to by psychologists as Metacognition. It naturally relates to employable skills including:

As Nicholas Robinson pointed out in a rolling out report, rapper Eve told her embittered fan base to fall back with all the hate just because she is dating white British businessman Maximillion Cooper for the past three years. As she lashed at her critics, Eve, who once infamously dated produced Stevie J, was probably speaking for many of the African American celebrities and women who prefer, or date exclusively, white men.
"I need them to stop [caring about interracial dating]. What year is it? Like, stop. Seriously," said Eve, although she admits that it was strange to her that she ended up with a white man. "Trust me, I gotta say, it is weird for me that I'm with a white dude. Trust me. I look at him sometimes and I'm like, 'You are so white.' Seriously! Yes, I gotta be real like that. I'm the first black girl he's ever been with, so we are learning. Trust me, he's been through 'Weave 101 … we learn a lot about each other. But people came at me like, 'I can't believe you're dating a white dude and you don't like black dudes no more.' I'm like, 'I love black men, it just so happens that my heart went this way right now.'"
Eve does not have a monopoly on swirl relationships. Below are many other sisters who prefer white men.

Antonio Conte could arrive as Chelsea manager with no clear idea of who will be his No 1 goalkeeper as clouds hang over the future of both Thibaut Courtois and Asmir Begovic.
The Italian, who will take charge at Stamford Bridge after finishing his Euro 2016 mission, already has spoken to both players as part of a series of meetings with the Blues players at Cobham training ground last week.
However, the futures of both Courtois and Begovic are still to be decided ahead of the summer transfer window, according to a report from the Daily Telegraph, albeit for different reasons.
23-year-old Courtois has been Chelsea's first-choice keeper since his sensational return from a three-year loan spell at Atletico Madrid at the start of last season.
The Belgian was as expected largely impressive in his first season at Stamford Bridge as Chelsea won the Premier League title, performances that convinced the Stamford Bridge hierarchy to sell club great Petr Cech to Arsenal against former manager Jose Mourinho's wishes.
However, Courtois had to miss 17 games at the start of the season following a knee injury and since returning has seemed far from his best, much like the rest of Chelsea's defending champions squad.
The Belgian goalkeeper has been linked with a potential move to Real Madrid all season and even reignited rumours that he is considering his Stamford Bridge future while on International duty after making some loose comments. His comments to prefer playing behind his international defence line than his club's back four sparked a fresh controversy.
Real Madrid in the meantime made an enquiry for the highly-rated keeper last summer but were rocked back by Chelsea with a rumoured price of around £73million – a fee the La Liga giants would not match at the moment.
But Real Madrid are keen to sign a new long-term No 1. Manchester United's David De Gea also continues to be linked, however the interest over the past few weeks has died down and now Courtois has emerged as an extremely attractive target.
A strong performance at Euro 2016 could tempt Real to make a big offer.
Meanwhile, Begovic will enter the summer hoping a greater clarification on his future at the club. The Bosnian deputised very well for injured Courtois between September and December but has played only twice since Guus Hiddink took interim charge.
The 28-year-old former Stoke City shotstopper is believed to be demanding more first-team football.
The Chelsea hierarchy, obviously, would not want to get rid of Begovic without knowing where Courtois' future lies.
The upcoming summer window looks to be an extremely significant one for the soon-to-be deposed Premier League champions. There are still persistent rumours roaming around over the futures of Diego Costa, Eden Hazard and others.
John Terry is expected to leave soon and the new incoming boss Antonio Conte will have a sizeable task in order to knit together a new squad.
