The moto G6 is very slow compared to how fast it was when it was on Oreo. I have tried clearin gth
I also got this bug report a few days ago. Didn't know where to put it out.
Hi All ,
I recently got my G6 update to Pie 9.0 . My Happiness is shortlived as I noticed the screen lag , unresponsive touch , longer boot time .
Also while using the phone I noticed that Phone Speaker Volume is too low and you cannot hear a word if your sorrounding is mildly populated .
I Have done all Cache Cleared and also tried using it in safe mode but no effect on the issues .
Please Help
I sometimes see a blank screen after recovering from sleep / display off and it takes several seconds for the icons to populate. The previous Android version was fine. This appears to be a bug. What is Motorola doing to fix th problem and why didn't the software testing not find this bug?
The moto G6 is very slow compared to how fast it was when it was on Oreo. I have tried clearin gth
I also got this bug report a few days ago. Didn't know where to put it out.
Have you tested in safe mode? Tried a reset and setup as new?
I have tried the safe mode. It is faster than the normal mode. The device is not unbearable but is definitely slower than android O.
It was definitely smoother and snappy on android O.
The RAM management is also poor on android P as compared to android O. It won't keep as many apps in memory as it would do on android O. I have also tried clearing the cache partition from recovery mode which has made things better.
I have used some other moto g6's also which have the same speed as I have. The software could be more optimised for the device.
The update is poorly tested and buggy. The usual advice from Motorola here is to reset the phone requiring reinstallation of all apps. This advice usually fails so why is it offered.
But why should the users go through all the trouble of hard reset and creating backup and getting everything back on. Shouldn't this be job of the engineers to roll out and update to fix the problems?

FWIW a hard reset helped my G6's frustrating slowness issues. Only took 30 mins to get set up again.
Thanks for posting, appreciate your efforts in resolving this. :smileyhappy:
Now that it has been a few months and a software update later, I can tell you the the phone has become very slow and the security update was a february '19 one, for some reason.
It is getting to a point where it is getting unbearable. It is the same exerience that i had on my old moto phones as well. This says something now, guess i.e. the moto phones will slow down after a few months of use, which is dissapointing. The software updates are inconsistent too. I don't have many apps on my device either, but here we are!
you are probably better off installing a custom rom or a GSI. Which is an inconvenience for many people. :(
I really hope the next update is coming soon and has solved atleast some problems.

Going Viral: Obama Eligibility Lawyer Admits Birth Certificate Is Fake
"We were willing to present that what's online has been manipulated by computer, human, or both and that it's not reliable. I told them I was ready to prove that and if they didn't want this witness to testify then concede that," he said. "I got Obama (Obama's attorney Hill) to concede that there is no evidence before the court as to his place of birth, which includes what's on the internet."
Obama's lawyer, Alexandra Hill, admitted that the image of Obama's birth certificate was a forgery and made the absurd claim that, therefore, it cannot be used as evidence to confirm his lack of natural born citizenship status. Therefore, she argued, it is "irrelevant to his placement on the ballot".
Hill went on to contort reasoning by implying that Obama needs only invoke his political popularity, not legal qualifications, in order to be a candidate.
IRS Rewrites ObamaCare to Increase Taxes
By rewriting ObamaCare without statutory authorization, the IRS is engaging in an illegal power grab that will cost taxpayers billions.
As regulation experts Jonathan Adler and Michael Cannon explained in testimony before Congress, one of the central arguments used to promote ObamaCare was that passing it would not add a penny to the federal deficit.

FBI Shows Up At Teenager's Home To Ask About His Ron Paul School Report
The boy's mother says the FBI showed up at their home one month after the class project was first turned in and told her, "We need to talk to your son." Once inside, Justin Hallman says he was drilled about his thoughts on an array of issues included in his project.
"They also asked me why I had talked to my teacher about the Illuminati," he writes in an email obtained by Infowars."I told them it was just harmless talk about the 1776 Illuminati that formed from the enlightenment era. I said my teacher said they are/were terrorists and not to talk about them (this caused the FBI agents to look puzzled and they changed the subject very fast to Anonymous). In the end they finally left for an 'important meeting.'"

End of the Year Celebration
Thank you to PBIS for another successful end of the school year celebration! After a fast-paced year of academics, sports. clubs and more, it was wonderful to see the student body and faculty come together to enjoy an afternoon of fun in the sun. The afternoon was filled with activities including bounce houses, slip 'n' slide, face-painting and a dunk tank. The lunch faculty created an amazing lunch for everyone and for those who wanted a taste of something new were able to grab lunch or a drink at one of the food trucks. Overall, the afternoon was filled with warm weather and lots of laughter and memories to share!

I like my dreams. I hate waking up. I think I wrote this late at night.
I'd rather be away
On the wings of a
Summer's day,
can't you tell
I'm a beat away
From my heart bursting open
There's a paradise
Only known to me
Of men and mice
Can't say much until you
Roll the dice
See if you've won it all
Dreams, dreams
I hope I never wake again
Sleeping soft
My fantasies are my best friend
Dreams, dreams
Of a different where and when
And I know
There is no escaping
You have to go
But I'll look for you
High and low
Until I fall asleep again
Questions? Comments? Critiques? Hit me!

Ask (1)
This is the bid price, so the price at which you can buy your desired currency from a broker. If you look at the chart of any currency pair in the terminal (or other tool) and open the "New Order", you will see that you are offered two prices: one price is Ask and the other is Bid (see). It's like at a normal currency exchange, for example to travel abroad you need to buy dollars for rubles. For you, the bank sets the Ask purchase price. It is always a bit higher than the selling price, Bid (see). So, if in the terminal for the currency pair you want to make a deal to purchase (see), ie «Buy», then your transaction will slightly above the price that you see on the chart and you will find yourself with a small loss right from the start. Do not worry, it's just the so-called "spread" (see).

Race Relations: Blacks, Republicans See Problems since '08, Poll Says
Jonsson, Patrik, The Christian Science Monitor
But a majority of Americans don't believe Obama has affected race relations in the US one way or the other, according to a new Monitor/ TIPP poll.
Blacks and Republicans are more likely than anyone else to say that the presidency of Barack Obama, America's first black chief executive, has impaired race relations in the United States and made race more difficult to discuss.
But more broadly, according to a new Christian Science Monitor/ TIPP poll, a majority of Americans - in both genders and across all ages, incomes, political persuasions, and races - don't believe the Obama presidency has had any effect on race relations in the US beyond affirming the country's willingness to move past race as a factor in presidential electability.
"The majority of Americans polled felt [Mr. Obama's race] was not a factor [in race relations]," says Raghavan Mayur, the TIPP pollster in Ramsey, N.J. "Most people look at him not in terms of race; they look to him as the president of the country."
Since his inauguration, Obama has walked a tightrope, dividing America more by class than by race when he's talked about forcing the rich to pay a larger share of the US tax burden. His comments on race have been both eloquent - for example, the Philadelphia "race" speech during the 2008 primary season - and awkward, as in last year's episode in which he said that Cambridge, Mass., police "acted stupidly" in arresting his friend, Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr.
"Obama's liberal supporters have made a big deal about him becoming the first black president, and his detractors have made a big deal about him supposedly practicing reverse discrimination," says political historian Jason Sokol. "He's always been in a difficult spot."
But at least some black scholars hold Obama accountable for raising the racial stakes.
Carol Swain, a law professor and race expert at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., raises several examples, including the Gates affair and Sonia Sotomayor's appointment to the Supreme Court. In these examples, she says, "it seems like Obama has made race more salient in a negative sort of way that will make white people feel like they're not represented."
The poll findings come on the heels of several high-profile racial flash points this summer and ahead of midterm elections that will determine the balance of power in Washington. Thirty-two percent of Republicans say race relations have worsened (and 8 percent say they've improved), while 37 percent of Democrats say they're better (16 percent say they're worse).
Some liberal groups, such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), have publicly chided one of Obama's main opposition groups, the "tea party" movement, for allegedly harboring racists.
Conservatives have fired back, saying that what experts call "nonfalsifiable claims of racism" - i.e., using the race card - has become an irrelevant tactic in the eyes of most Americans.
The Monitor/TIPP poll findings don't surprise Gerard Alexander, a political scientist at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville. …

Winter's lower temps and longer nights stir a need to seek the warmth and comfort of our homes, in particular our bedrooms. This seasonal shift offers the ideal conditions for freshening up your bedding with an eye to creating a refuge from the blustery outdoors. Angela Carter of Amelia's Fine Linens in Chesterfield shows us how to make and style a wintertime bed that looks as exquisite as it feels.
Palette Power
Whether you're looking for entirely new bedding or want to incorporate fresh elements, Carter suggests that owners "consider neutral colors like whites, creams, and grays. They're the most versatile and will update a room's look instantaneously." They're also the greenest, she says. "There's a trend among manufacturers to lessen their environmental impact, so many neutrals are now free of dye and made with natural fabrics," says Carter.
Foundation First
Begin with sheet selection. It serves as the foundation of a bed—not to mention that it's the layer with which your skin will have the most contact. Read the labels, and choose Egyptian cotton, an extra-long staple cotton that produces a long fiber resulting in a softer weave. Then, pick either percale sheets with a tighter weave, for a cooler night's sleep, or more loosely woven sateen sheets, which yield a warmer, more enveloping feel.
Layering Options
In the winter "people love texture, so think about using fabrics like velvet, cashmere, and wool," Carter says. If you tend to sleep cool, cover the bed with a medium-weight down-filled duvet and fold a cashmere or brushed-cotton blanket at the bottom for easy access. On the other hand, if you sleep hot, a quilted coverlet in cotton provides coverage without the weight, and a lighter-fill duvet can be folded at the foot of the bed.
Pillow Talk
If you're traditional, prop sleeping pillows against the headboard and place two or three Euro pillows or deluxe shams in front of them, followed by two regular shams. Finish by centering a decorative bolster or boudoir pillow. For a no-fuss approach, simply stack sleeping pillows atop one another. Regardless of your preference, there should be some level of coordination. Pull color, texture, and pattern from the bedcover to at least one sham.
Best Care
To wash fine linens, look for "clean" detergents that are free of fragrance and chemicals. Carter recommends Tide Free or fine fabric washes. Avoid using fabric softeners and dryer sheets, and remove jewelry before going to bed. All three can cause premature wear. Ironing sheets gives a bed a crisp look. If you're pressed for time, Carter recommends pulling bedding immediately out of the dryer and making the bed right away to lessen wrinkles.

East Japan Railway Company will develop hydrogen fuel/lithium battery train, dubbed as "FV-E991," which is scheduled for test run in Kanagawa Prefecture in 2021 before formal launch by 2024, according to a news release of the company.
The company pointed out that the project has a budget of 4 billion yuan, as part of its effort to achieve energy diversification by 2027.
According to its blueprint, FV-E991 will consist of two railcars, one furnished with two 25 kWh lithium batteries and the other with high-pressure hydrogen storage cans and two 18 KW polymer fuel cells. As the major motive force, the fuel cell can function normally even under the low temperature of -10℃.
JR East predicts that at full hydrogen storage of 70 MPa, the train can travel 140 kilometers at maximum speed of 100 km/hour. Despite slower speed, compared with 120-130 km/hour of regular trains, and higher cost, the train will not emit any waste gas and CO2 in operation and doesn't need overhead cable or substation, cutting construction and maintenance cost.
This is the second shot of JR East at fuel-cell train, following the launch of a previous version, dubbed "NE Train," in 2006, which couldn't be commercialized, though, due to short traveling distance of only 50-70 kilometers.
To accelerate the development of fuel cell, JR East joined hands with Toyota in Sept. 2018 for developing fuel-cell train and bus and installing hydrogen filling stations on plots of land owned by JR East, with the ultimate goal of developing hydrogen-energy supply chain.
FV-E991, however, underperforms CORADIA iLint, also a hydrogen-fueled train launched by Alstom in Germany in 2018, which has a travel distance of 1,000 kilometers at the maximum speed of 140 km/hour.

TALK Advances in Accelerated ComputingDate & Time: Friday, February 2, 2018; 12:00
Speaker: Dr. David Kaeli, Northeastern University
MERL Host: Abraham Goldsmith
Research Areas: Control, Optimization, Machine Learning, Speech & AudioBrief
- GPU computing is alive and well! The GPU has allowed researchers to overcome a number of computational barriers in important problem domains. But still, there remain challenges to use a GPU to target more general purpose applications. GPUs achieve impressive speedups when compared to CPUs, since GPUs have a large number of compute cores and high memory bandwidth. Recent GPU performance is approaching 10 teraflops of single precision performance on a single device. In this talk we will discuss current trends with GPUs, including some advanced features that allow them exploit multi-context grains of parallelism. Further, we consider how GPUs can be treated as cloud-based resources, enabling a GPU-enabled server to deliver HPC cloud services by leveraging virtualization and collaborative filtering. Finally, we argue for for new heterogeneous workloads and discuss the role of the Heterogeneous Systems Architecture (HSA), a standard that further supports integration of the CPU and GPU into a common framework. We present a new class of benchmarks specifically tailored to evaluate the benefits of features supported in the new HSA programming model.

My Next Big Thing (Maybe Yours, Too)
16 years.
That's how long it's been since I launched sparkspace.
I honestly had no idea my business would thrive for this long. Statistics do not favor startups. And yet, we made it past the first anniversary, then the fifth, then the tenth, the fifteenth, and here we are now, old enough to drive.
I believed in sparkspace 1000% from the start, as did our guests, clients, friends, and followers (and I am soooo thankful for all of them/you). What I wasn't quite so sure about was ME. I wondered just how long I could stay interested and engaged in a job, even one I created. My previous record? 7 years. Before that? 3.
So, what's the secret to staying engaged and interested for a long time (maybe even a lifetime)? It's this:
Discover what your "ordinary superpowers" are and figure out ways to use them more and more all the time.
What are Ordinary Superpowers?
Ordinary Superpowers are your abilities, talents, and skills that pass this simple 4-part test:
1. They come naturally to you.
2. You're better at them than most.
3. They help people (including you).
4. You love using them.
My ordinary superpowers are exploring new ideas & places, simplifying things, and communicating ideas conversationally through writing and speaking. I'll be honest, I've known these were strengths for a long time, but I never fully owned them because I didn't really think they were all that special.
The more I used them, however, the more I realized that not everyone has these abilities, and if they do, they likely don't have my specific combination.
When I truly discovered my ordinary superpowers, started using them more proactively, and worked on improving them as much as possible, I began to have way more positive impact on the world around me.
THAT has kept me engaged for 16 years and counting.
As I share the idea of Ordinary Superpowers with others, I find people leaning in, wanting to hear more, and wondering out loud what their own ordinary superpowers might be. One of the things I love most right now is helping people start the journey of superpower discovery for themselves.
I believe it's how you — no matter who you are, where you work, or what you do — can bring your absolute best self to the world, give your most powerful contribution, and experience true fulfillment in the short amount of time you're given on this planet.
My Next Big Thing
Helping people discover, activate, enhance, and multiply their Ordinary Superpowers is what I'm dedicating all of my energy and resources to right now.
It's my next big thing.
I can't wait to keep sharing it with you. Here are two ways I plan to do that:
I'm writing a book about Ordinary Superpowers that will be published this spring. I'll be sharing more about that soon.
I've also created a truly unique, one-day experience to help you discover, activate, and enhance your own ordinary superpowers.
Although I'll be sharing my own exploration on the topic, this retreat is not about me, it's about YOU. 100% of the content is designed to help you explore and maximize your own Ordinary Superpowers.
It will be immersive and interactive, brimming with amazing people and phenomenal content. It will be packed with positive energy and delicious food. I know when you leave you'll look back on the day as an incredible experience.
I know that sounds like a lot, but hey, this is my next big thing and I plan on making it the best event I've ever produced in my 16 years at sparkspace.
I'm calling it The Superpower Summit because it will be a gathering of people who might just change the world with their superpowers. If you come, I know you'll change YOUR world, for sure.
Are you interested? Want to know more about how to discover, activate, enhance, and multiply your own ordinary superpowers?
CLICK HERE to get all the details about the Superpower Summit at the one and only sparkspace.
I am kicking off the registration with an early bird discount that starts right now and only lasts for a short time.
Thanks! I hope you're as excited about my next big thing as I am. I hope it's your next big thing, too.
Here's the link to find out more about the Superpower Summit.

February 7, 2008 - A new internally dynamized anterior cervical plating system, the Kinetic-SL, by Life Spine received 510(k) marketing clearance by the FDA, according to the company.
The plate, with a thin profile and a narrow plate width (16mm), was created from the clinical need to address small stature patients, according to Life Spine. Like the original Kinetic, Kinetic-SL features 0-2mm of fully adjustable internal dynamization per level and an ultra slim pre- lordosed profile. Plate sizes range from 21mm to 111mm, in levels one to five. The Kinetic design allows for generous screw angulation, as well as a large graft window. Like the company's Neo-SL plate, an integrated lock allows bone screws to be securely fixated without any additional locking components. The self-retaining screw capture mechanism prevents screw backout, while still allowing screw angulation.

Before taking a well-deserved break from the road, Jack White will be playing five surprise acoustic sets in states he's yet to visit while touring behind Lazaretto. The first of these $3 gigs went down Monday evening in Anchorage, Alaska at the Wendy Williams Auditorium. The 910-capacity crowd witnessed White and his three-piece band perform their first-ever all acoustic set on a stage adorned with old-fashioned street lamps.
The setlist included "We're Going to be Friends", "Love Interruption", "A Martyr for My Love for You", "Goodnight, Irene", and covers of Hank Williams and Johnny Cash.
Watch fan shot video, including White talking about being arrested in his suit, below.
Based on his touring history, White's remaining shows will take place in Idaho, Wyoming, and the Dakotas.

Back in the day, good actors were not famous people. Today, the situation is completely different. Excellent actors and actresses are simply too popular not to be celebrities. Therefore, these people had to find a way to communicate with their countless fans. Earlier, they did it via news and TV, but now they do it via the Internet. One of the most popular apps nowadays is definitely the lovely Snapchat. These artists are completely in love with this neat platform and they know how to use it in order to promote themselves. Check out the 5 celebrity Snapchats from Hollywood you should definitely follow.
Jared Leto (Snapchat name: jaredleto)
This incredibly gifted actor is also one of the biggest celebrity Snapchat names out there. When you look at Jared, you can't help but think something like: "Life is so unfair. This guy is talented, gorgeous, handsome and funny." Yes, Leto has it all and he likes to share bits of his awesomeness with his loyal fans on this platform. Follow him and the fun is guaranteed.
Jessica Alba (Snapchat name: jessicamalba)
If you truly are interested in "stalking" famous people Snapchat accounts, we suggest you peek into Jessica's private life. This stunning actress may not be as popular as she was 10 years ago, but she's still overpowering millions of men and women with her natural beauty. Alba has no problem with sharing private and personal snaps. She loves posting candid selfies as well.
Dwayne Johnson (Snapchat name: TheRock)
Well, it's safe to say that we weren't surprised when we saw his Snapchat name. Joking aside, The Rock enjoys communicating with his crazy fans via the Internet and other social apps. He really appreciates their support and that's his way of saying "thanks". His trademark snap is definitely a workout selfie. He uses a lot of flexing emojis. Good old Dwayne!
Blake Lively (Snapchat name: LivelyBK)
What can we say about this gorgeous lady that hasn't already been said? Well, for starters, if you add her on Snapchat, your newsfeed will be blessed with lovely and sexy snaps. Blake rose to fame after playing Serena in the hit TV series, Gossip Girl. After that, she got major roles in movies like The Age of Adaline and The Shallows. Like that's not enough, she's also married to one of the most desirable men out there, Ryan Reynolds. These two are absolutely adorable and hilarious.
Millie Bobby Brown (Snapchat name: milliebbrown)
It doesn't matter if you're a Stranger Things fan or not, you simply have to follow this young superstar. Millie is only 13 years old and she's already showing potential to be one of the greatest actresses of our generation. This girl is witty, funny and utterly adorable. Before starring as "Eleven" in the Netflix's Stranger Things, this young lady appeared in the movie Intruder where she was also fantastic. Millie is currently overwhelmed with her success and she doesn't hesitate to share parts of her exciting life with her fans.

NEW ORLEANS -- Newborns may be smarter than we are.
You know how they are always touching things in their environment, and then putting their hands in their mouth? This is actually helping them to develop a strong immune system.
Dr. Rachel Reitan, our teaching doctor, says kids who are exposed to certain bacteria, dander, and other allergens before their first birthday have lower rates of allergies and strong immune systems, which protect them from certain illnesses and disease.
Just like a newborn's brain needs stimulation to develop normally, a newborn's immune system needs to be exposed to everyday germs to strengthen their immunity.
Most germs in our environment and on our bodies are harmless.
And the germs found in dirt and dirty things play an important role in developing a child's immune system. As we become obsessed with sterilizing our environment or overusing hand sanitizers, we may do more harm than good by killing off the good bacteria and depriving our kids' bodies the opportunity to build a strong immune system.
Not only does getting dirty help, it also means kids are getting outside being active instead of in front of the TV, computer, or video games.
When it comes to a healthy immune system, a little dirt won't hurt.

RANGELY I The Colorado Northwestern Community College men's baseball team is off to a good start this year.
After traveling to Phoenix and Southern Nevada to begin their pre-season play, the Spartans were 4-7 entering conference.
The spring was a showcase for many players on the Spartan roster, especially for shortstop Greg Reynolds, who swung the bat well in Arizona and hit above .500 in Las Vegas, going seven for 13 with five RB's and a solo home run.
The Spartans' young pitching staff is holding their own and is expected to finish better than they started.
Over this past weekend, Spartans had their home opener in fine fashion against visiting College of Southern Nevada, the No. 2 ranked team in the nation.
Of the four game held, the Spartans won two, splitting the series and improving their record to 6-9.
The Spartans were led by a number of players offensively, including Reynolds, Zach Hoffman and Larenz Stansfield.
The Spartan pitching staff was led by Trevar Bradley and Chris Ramirez, who both got the wins, as well as Bailey Hoffmiester, who earned the save in game two.
This week the Spartans baseball team travels to College of Southern Idaho to begin a four-game set.

Unarmed 15 Year Old Killed By Police In Texas
Jordan Edwards family. His father, Odell Edwards, wipes away tears as he sits with his wife, Charmaine Edwards, listening to their attorney Lee Merritt talking about the death of their son. (GUY REYNOLDS for AP)
Police Officer is Fired, Video of Incident Not Yet Released, Funeral Saturday, Family Calls for Murder Charges, Asks for No Protests
On Monday, the police department of the Dallas suburb of Balch Springs, Texas, changed its story on the shooting of 15-year-old Jordan Edwards, who was killed by a police officer on Saturday. Edwards was a a freshman at Mesquite High School. The story changed after Chief Jonathan Haber watched body-cam footage of the shooting. The video tape has not been released and police say a decision on its release will be made by the police and prosecutor.
The police released a statement that claimed officers were investigating reports of a shooting and when they went outside they saw a car going in reverse down a street and despite multiple commands it would not stop. The vehicle got on the main road and continued moving forward. Officer Roy Oliver fired his rifle into a car of unarmed teens Saturday night as they drove away, fatally striking Jordan Edwards in the head. Jordan's brothers were also in the car. Originally, police had said the car was aggressively backing up toward officers.
The family claims that the boys heard shots and decided to leave the party. As they were leaving they heard someone swear three times and then a gun was shot killing Edwards who was sitting in the front passenger seat.
The Dallas County Sheriff's Department and district attorney are investigating the officer involved in the shooting. The Dallas Morning News reports that the Balch Springs police Tuesday fired Oliver who fatally shot Jordan Edwards. Oliver had been with the department since 2001.
The department said Oliver violated several policies but would not say which ones. "It did not meet our core values," Haber told the media of his officer's actions. Officers in the town are discouraged from firing at moving vehicles even when a car is headed towards them, with guidelines saying that cops should "attempt to move out of its path, if possible, instead of discharging a firearm at it or any of its occupants."
The Dallas Morning News further reported:
Jordan's family expressed gratitude that Oliver was fired but said in a statement "there remains a long road ahead" for them and justice.
"Over the past 24 hours Chief Haber has made commendable strides toward justice. However, there remains a long road ahead. We anxiously await this officer's … arrest for the crime of murder," the statement said. "The magnitude of his horrible actions cannot be overstated. We fully expect an equivalent response from those responsible for investigating and punishing the crime. We also know that although his actions were the most wicked and consequential, he was not the only officer responsible for dreadful behavior that evening.
"After Jordan's two brothers, Vidal and Kevon, along with their two friends, were forced to experience this tragedy up close as occupants of the car, they were immediately treated as common criminals by other officers; manhandled, intimidated and arrested [Jordan's older brother was held overnight], while their brother lay dying in the front seat. The officers who extended this nightmare for those children ought to be properly reprimanded as well. Our family is working hard to deal with both the loss of our beloved Jordan and the lingering trauma it has caused our boys."
The high school freshman's family have rallied behind the phrase "Justice for Jordan" since the shooting, where Oliver responded with a second officer.
News outlets report that Edwards was a good student and football player who brought a lot of positive feelings to those around him. He was ery close to his family and fellow students, who have created a memorial around his locker. The family asked the public to refrain from protests and marches in Jordan's name as they prepare for his funeral, which is scheduled for this Saturday. A YouCaring account has been set up for those who want to financially help the family.

I have tried this and had the same outcome multiple times. Rules of the blackjack table per "Learn to Use... > Payouts": "If your hand ties the dealer's hand, known as a "push", you get your bet amount back, including hands that you doubled down." The table does not return your full bet, it only returns the initial bet. Example: 1. You bet 1k. 2. You double your bet, putting another 1k on the table (2k total on the table now for your hand). 3. You and the dealer tie ("push"). 4. You get 1k back (not the 2k you have placed on the table).

Farmers in Essex are currently plagued by industrial scale fly-tipping carried out by a group of criminals dubbed the "Trash Mafia". But the farmers will not take action, over fears of the dumpers' are linked to organised crime.
The farmers have claimed that around 116 cases of fly-tipping offences have occurred since September 2016. They involve lorries carrying skips being driven onto fields, which are unloaded onto the land and crops. The dumpers then sort through the rubbish for valuable scrap, which is removed, leaving worthless trash behind.
This process costs the economy £1bn ($1.25bn) annually, according to a report in The Times, with 900,000 cases being reported in the UK each year.
Will Dickinson, chairman of an East Anglia forum of the National Farmers Union (NFU), called the group "nasty" and said the farming community feared the dumping was linked to an East End crime boss.
"These are really nasty pieces of work. Our members are worried about confronting them [lest] their legs end up in concrete."
The NFU's county advisor for Essex, Adam Scott, called the dumping "serious organised crime" that makes "serious amounts of money".
In normal circumstances, fly-tipping is carried out using vans and cars, but this level of dumping requires eight-wheeled lorries with hydraulic lifts.
Farmer Rob Stacey believes the extensive operation would save the criminals more than £100 per trip to a landfill tip.
"It's because of the landfill tax," said Stacey, "It costs an awful lot of money to tip industrial waste into a landfill. It's easier for them to tip it into the countryside."
While Stacey has attempted to secure his Chelmsford farm, he was less optimistic about the possibility of stopping the trash mafia in their tracks.
"We are told to lock up your fields, lock up your gates, but these guys drive straight through. The only way you can do it is by declaring your farm a fortress and dig a big moat."
In Hertfordshire, there were more cases – 400 since September 2016 – although the council admitted most of these were on a small scale.

Department of Defense Mobile Device Strategy
GSA Schedule | Government | Technology | Resources and Insight | 1 Min Read
n a recent mobile strategy document released by the Department of Defense (DoD), they addressed the need to strengthen the efficiency of its workforce and operations and construct its business to be more relatable to today's modern workplace and clientele. The document went on to explain this implementation would involve addressing 3 major goals for the department; "Advance and evolve the DoD Information Enterprise infrastructure to support mobile devices, institute mobile device policies and standards, and promote the development and use of DoD mobile and web-enabled applications." This strategy "identifies the vision and goals for capitalizing on the full potential of mobile devices and supports the end-user services approach in DoD Information Technology Enterprise Strategy and Roadmap," states Chief Information Officer, Teri Takai.
In order to evolve into this developing strategy, the Department has stated that it must better familiarize itself with management methods of better utilizing available spectrum and also "develop mechanisms for rapidly transitioning technologies into programs of record." DoD's new enterprise infrastructure and wireless networks must have the capability to support both unclassified and classified high-bandwidth traffic, a critical up kept stream of wireless coverage to in-building and terrestrial locations, and also various networking architectures. This architecture must maintain a security between the interface of DoD networks and commercial networks by empowering a proper management of mobile devices, applications, and network connections.
The statement went on to imply that the Department must additionally employ "DoD Public Key Infrastructure security, access, and identification controls at the network, device, and application levels." A new level of trust must be constructed with defense personnel who are familiar with the use of mobile devices in their daily lives. With many of today's commercial mobile devices implementing User Based Enforcement security controls, DoD's advance programs would assess compliance of the end user with User Based Enforcement requirements.
In addition to considering Security, Transport, Mobile Device, and Applications Management, the Department of Defense "must consider complementary initiatives such as identity and access management and cloud computing efforts as well as the impact to force protection in the deployment of mobile devices." With today's evolving technology and workforce, DoD's initiatives continue to play a part in shaping the future of the information enterprise.

Choosing an individual to watch over one's children may be one of the hardest decisions that a parent may have to make. When that trusted person makes a decision that causes injuries to a child under his or her care, parents are understandably distraught. One Louisiana family recently experienced this when a babysitter caused a DUI accident that injured two children.
According to the report, the sitter was transporting two young children after she purportedly had ingested intoxicating substances. An eyewitness stated that the driver was traveling down the local highway when her vehicle suddenly crossed over into the wrong lane. In an apparent attempt to correct her course, the woman over-steered and ran off the side of the road.
Her car then collided with a hydrant and then a telephone post. The children in the rear seat were found on the floor of the vehicle between the front and rear seats. Neither child was properly restrained. Bystanders purportedly removed the youngsters before emergency workers arrived. The 1-year-old child suffered two broken bones, and the 4-year-old victim suffered a skull fracture and broken shoulder.
Louisiana police arrested the woman for causing the DUI accident. She is facing several charges, including negligently causing vehicular injuries. The current conditions of the young victims have not been released. The child who suffered the head injury may have a lengthy recovery, and it is unknown what lingering physical or mental complications may manifest during the course of the victim's recovery. The parents may choose to seek the advice of a personal injury attorney to determine whether to file a civil suit against the babysitter to offset the monetary costs for the harm she has caused.

Battling perceptions of policy paralysis, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Sunday effected a major reshuffle of his Council of Ministers and expressed confidence that the new team would be able to meet the challenges ahead.
"It is a combination of youth, experience and relevance to the portfolios that have been entrusted to the ministers," Dr. Singh told reporters soon after the new ministers were sworn in at a brief ceremony at the Rashtrapati Bhawan.
Dr. Singh was asked about the message he sought to give through the reshuffle.
Asked about the road ahead for the government, the Prime Minister said, "The road ahead is full of challenges. But this is a team, which I hope will be able to meet those challenges."
Dr. Singh said that this would probably be the last reshuffle of the Council of Ministers before the 2014 general elections.
The Prime Minister also ruled out early elections and said polls would be held on time.
Asked about the ministers who were dropped from the Cabinet, Dr. Singh said that their services were required in the party.
"Well, the party also needs strengthening. Men and women of experience can be equally productive in strengthening the party," he said.
Ambika Soni, Mukul Wasnik, S.M. Krishna, Subodhkant Sahay, Mahadeo Singh Khandela and Vincent Pala were among those who resigned from the Council of Ministers ahead of the exercise.

What's Next if North Korea Talks Succeed?
Washington, DC - In this Washington Post op-ed from April 23, Former Senators Richard Lugar and Sam Nunn express cautious optimism towards possible US - North Korea talks. Even if a deal is struck, they argue, there is a lot of work to do. For that, Americans should look to diplomatic tools like those Nunn and Lugar created as the Cold War thawed.
Exposing Oil Corruption
London, UK - A new investigation by British NGO Global Witness into a $120 million ExxonMobil deal in Liberia underscores the need for transparency initiatives like Cardin-Lugar and the benefits of similar programs. Lugar Center fellow Jay Branegan writes in an April 4 blog post, "This illustrates why it's so important for the SEC to re-issue a strong rule implementing Cardin-Lugar, and why Congress should not give in to the oil industry."

US Election 2020: The democratic front runners taking on Trump.
The race for the democratic nomination is heating up with four candidates emerging as the front runners to take on President Trump in 2020.
Hunter Biden is a married man — again.
According to the New York Post, the second son of 2020 presidential hopeful Joe Biden recently got hitched in a secret ceremony to Melissa Cohen, a South Africa-born divorcee who now lives in Los Angeles, according to sources.
Cohen is originally from Johannesburg, where her parents, Lee and Zoe, still live.
"She seems very happy. I've only spoken to Hunter briefly," her dad told The Post. "She's a very special girl. She has lots of poise and she's very present."
Lee Cohen said he hopes to meet Hunter soon.
News of Hunter's nuptials comes after his April split from Hallie Biden — his late brother Beau's widow — reported exclusively by Page Six.
Hunter, 49, was previously married to Kathleen Buhle Biden. Their divorce was finalised in 2017.
RELATED: Biden's son splits from sister-in-law
RELATED: Messy family saga of 'future president'
According to The Daily Mail, Hunter married Melissa in Los Angeles in mid-May, using an instant marriage company.
Who is Hunter Biden's new wife, Melissa Cohen? According to her Facebook account she is a South African activist who travels the world to pursue her causes and interests such as helping indigenous tribes.

I need to make a 10" chocolate shell made to look like a Reese cup. My plan was to use a quiche pan, but the deepest I can find in that diameter is 2"... I need at least 3-4" to accommodate the height of the cheesecake... Is there a way to make a pleated liner to brush with the chocolate?
Do you have the giant cupcake pan? If so that's the best to use for a chocolate shell. I used it when I made a giant Reeses peanut butter cup cake and I got the idea from others here (ddaigle). There are other threads here in the forum on this topic.
wow - i had no idea the name was this long!
Good luck
Ano I don't have the cupcake pan but it would be too small anyways I need it to be 10 inches in diameter
what about parchment paper? if you can get some 18 inches wide - you can make something like a giant coffee filter - to fit into the pan & then gently brush the chocolate onto it. The other option - maybe a little less time consuming - with parchment paper - just make the collar - double or triple the circumference - fold accordion style & use that around the edge. you'll just need to be real careful where the bottom & the paper join - to seal that before applying the chocolate to bottom & sides.
How about using a 10" (or larger) pie plate? If you use a glass one, once you coat the inside with chocolate, you can pop in the freezer for a few minutes and then the chocolate "shell" should pop right out.
Good luck!
oops - just read you need it to be 3-4 inches high and most pie pans are probably 1-2 inches....you could tape acetate onto a pie plate (it's the correct shape without the ridges) and extend the sides then brush on chocolate?

Shopping centre dining has gained a bit of media attention of late and the scale of difference has been vast. We've seen the disappointing collapse of Justin North's Becasse at Westfield Sydney, while almost concurrently, queues have streamed from the popular new Ippudo Ramen chain and funky Senyai restaurant at Regent's Place.
So what makes shopping centre dining a success or a failure, and will it every really work in Australia? Are we trying to replicate a culture in Asia that works over there, but that us Aussies just can't get their heads around?
Westfield Sydney, to take one example, has attracted some big names. From chefs Alessandro Pavoni of Spiedo and David Tsirekas's Xanthi, to the soon-to-be-open Jones the Grocer. The restaurants themselves are beautifully designed to blend seamlessly into their designated spaces. They also tout some wonderful food, as well as parking and the chance to browse the latest Miu Miu pumps while awaiting your dining buddy. But are they really pulling in the big bucks?
According to Rachele Godridge, manager central Sydney for Westfield, they are. "The dining precinct is one of our busiest areas in terms of foot traffic. The CBD was in need of a premium food offering, which we have been able to deliver, and we're continuing to evolve our offering and work with our retailers to ensure we're meeting the demands of Sydney's food-savvy diners," she says.
A new promotion launched by Westfield Sydney this month, The Chefs Club, offers happy hour-esque promotions on Friday nights at some of its top restaurants. Maybe this is exactly the kind of ploy that will get Sydneysiders out of the ever-busy food court and upstairs to the restaurants.
Matt Fitzgerald, head chef of El Topo at Westfield Bondi Junction (formerly of high-end restaurants Bentley Restaurant & Bar and The Bathers' Pavilion), has already adapted his food and pricing to match his new customer base. He says that making a conscious decision to create more attainable, sharable dishes at a better price point than what is set at his usual fine dining venues is what really works for his shopping centre clientele.
He also finds being in the centre a double-edged sword. "Being in a shopping centre certainly brings new customers in, with many people wandering in between shopping and watching movies that haven't necessarily heard of us until the moment they walked past," he says. "And we've been consistently busy since we opened. On the other hand, some people read the address and see Westfield and are put off immediately. It's a fine line."
On the more boutique end of the scale, chef and owner of Pendolino in the Strand Arcade on Pitt Street, Nino Zoccali, says that the genre of each centre has a great impact on its success. In his opinion, the Strand Arcade is seen as an iconic, historic building, ahead of being considered a shopping centre. The fact that guests can enter the restaurant without having to walk among the shops is a point that encourages his diners return to the restaurant again and again.
"High-end restaurants are challenging to [succeed] in modern shopping centres, as it's just not yet in the Australian psyche to dine in a mall, as it is in places like Asia and the Middle East," says Zoccali. "Australians like to use modern shopping centre outlets in a certain way and at a certain price point, which works for the likes of Chat Thai and other chain restaurants, but when it comes to hatted restaurants, it's a different matter."
Group Marketing Manager for the Strand Arcade, Taryn McGurk, agrees that restaurants do work in their centre and play a big part in the building's heritage. The public perception of them is very accepting. "From the earlier eras when the Strand Arcade's restaurants attracted a colourful crowd and made the arcade the place to be, to now, we have found restaurants to be a very successful way to draw people into the arcade, or give them a reason to stay longer," she says.
So the future of shopping centre dining still remains unknown, but what we do know is that Sydneysiders will only part with their hard-earned cash for the right venue, at the right price. Tough crowd.

Last week we looked at compound and complex sentences. But you'll find that sentences have much more that you should know about. The first rule should be not to use loose sentences as they will confuse your reader. Second, remember that the main point you are trying to make must not be in the middle of a long sentence.
Example: With the delicious food and the sheer beauty of the landscape, I have always wanted to go to Goa and to this end I am happy to give up my commitments.
The focus of the sentence here is that the writer wants to go to Goa and he is thus ready to give up his involvements wherever he is in order to do so. However, the reader has already got an overkill of information at the beginning of the sentence that makes little sense until he or she reaches the middle of the sentence.
It would have been better to say — I am ready to give up my commitments in the city and go to Goa because of the delicious food and sheer beauty of the landscape.
Here are a few more sentences.
The Periodic Sentence: Here your main point can come at the end of the sentence. But remember that the reader has to read all of this information without knowing what the conclusion will be. Use this only when you want to write in a dramatic but persuasive fashion.
The Declarative Sentence: Use this as often as possible to add that extra punch to your writing. This type of sentence states a fact or argument, without requiring either an answer or action from the reader.
Example: Seema's father is Dr Kishore Sharma
