Report Finds Substantial Cost Savings in Modest Mandatory Sentencing Reforms
FAMM general counsel, Mary Price, said a new nonpartisan report published today shows that modest mandatory minimum sentencing law reform could save billions of taxpayer dollars, funding which would be better spent on federal programs and personnel that target violent crime. The report, published by the Urban Institute, provides conservative estimates of financial savings that could be achieved by several proposals pending in Congress, including the Justice Safety Valve Act, S. 619/H.R. 1695.

A furious row has erupted between Welsh Labour and the Electoral Reform Society, the latest in a series of disagreements over possible changes to the way Assembly Members are elected.
The ERS says changes backed by Labour would 'rob thousands of voters of a choice and vote' and be 'damaging for democracy and damaging for devolution.'
Labour meanwhile accuses the ERS of peddling 'anti-Labour propaganda' with no more than 'guess-work.' One Labour source says the Society has
allowed itself to be led by the nose by the Tory/Plaid/Lib Dem trinity of vested interests.
Strong words, but what's behind them?
It all follows the publication of the Electoral Reform Society's report on this year's Welsh Election, written by Professor Roger Scully from Aberystwyth's Institute of Welsh Politics and the Society's Research Officer Dr. Owain ap Gareth. There's a PDF of the report here.
Most of the report is a look at how the parties performed back in May, voter turnout, how much the final result affected the representation of women and ethnic minorities and how proportional or otherwise the result was.
It also looks at the likely impact of alternative voting systems which could be used in future Welsh elections if, as the UK Government has hinted, there are to be changes to Assembly boundaries following next year's shake-up of Westminster boundaries. *
In the report, the ERS warns against moving towards using First Past the Post alone and says that if Assembly constituencies are to be changed, it would recommend that half were chosen by the Additional Member System currently used to elect 20 of the 60 members.
And this is where it is at odds with Welsh Labour which has officially taken the view that there should be no change, but if there is to be change, the 60 AMs should be chosen from 30 constituencies electing two members by first past the post.
The main proponent of this view is Shadow Welsh Secretary Peter Hain who's been accused of trying to turn the clock back to make Welsh elections more favourable to Labour and of hypocrisy for arguing for First Past the Post just months after campaigning to drop it in the AV referendum.
You may remember that some Welsh Labour AMs had been against the Hain view and thought their party should take no position at all.
In the end they reached a compromise, with a meeting of the party's Welsh Executive backing Peter Hain's position, albeit with the strong caveat that there should be no change without a manifesto pledge. You can read about that here.
All of this means that the Electoral Reform Society would have expected opposition to its conclusions from Labour anyway.
But that opposition has been heightened by its accompanying press release which includes the following comments by Steve Brooks the Wales Director of the ERS:
Our research shows that Labour would have won nearly 70% of the seats in the National Assembly, had the last election been fought using Two Member First Past the Post. This is despite the fact that Labour secured around 40% of the vote.
While this may be good news for aspiring Labour candidates, its bad news for Welsh voters. Two Member First Past The Post would rob thousands of voters of a choice and voice.
Over half of Welsh voters chose the Tories, Plaid Cymru or the Liberal Democrats in May this year, yet under Two Member First Past The Post, those parties would be left with less than a third of the seats in the Assembly. That would be damaging for democracy and damaging for devolution.
The official response from Labour is this:
The claims made by the Electoral Reform Society are factually inaccurate on almost every level, and grossly misrepresent Welsh Labour's position on this issue. And our position is crystal clear – the Tories in Westminster have no mandate for changing the electoral system in Wales. That is our 'preferred option'. It is a great shame that instead of supporting calls for Welsh people to be asked beforehand on any change to their voting system, the ERS have instead decided to issue a bizarre statement that is patently untrue and disturbingly skewed.
In private the response has been even stronger. One senior Welsh Labour source said,
This is pretty grubby stuff. In allowing themselves to be led by the nose by the Tory/Plaid/Lib Dem trinity of vested interests, the ERS have whistled away any credibility they have on the issue.
At the very time that Wales needs a strong champion against Tory attempts to gerrymander elections in Wales, the ERS seems more concerned with pushing an overtly political agenda and picking a fight with the only party to have guaranteed Welsh voters a say in how they elect their representatives.
And this from another senior Labour source was equally damning:
This 'research' by a Plaid Cymru-supporting academic is nothing more than guess work and was commissioned with the sole intention of undermining Labour's democratically-agreed position.
Two member first two past the post has never been used for Assembly or Westminster elections before so it is impossible to predict how the people of Wales would choose to cast their votes under such a system.
Multiple-member first past the post is currently used only for local government elections in Wales where there is little evidence to suggest that Labour gains any particular advantage, this is because when given the option of putting more than one cross in a box, people often choose to "split" their votes between candidates of different parties.
It's important to see this report for what it is: anti-Labour propaganda. It was commissioned by the Electoral Reform Society specifically to further their agenda for proportional representation.
We simply want a voting system that best serves the people of Wales.
Steve Brooks will give his reaction later. For now he's described Labour's response as 'disappointing.'
Expect further skirmishes over this – the latest abstract row to have a very concrete impact on Welsh politics.
* For the latest thinking on the parliamentary shake-up which has sparked this debate, it's worth reading Nick Powell's recent blog post here.
UPDATE 0905 As promised, here's the response from Stephen Brooks, Wales Director of the Electoral Reform Society:
The reaction of some is bewildering. The Electoral Reform Society is an independent organisation: we're not aligned to any political party. We've been working for over 100 years to push for a fair voting system so it's nonsense to suggest we're being led by others.
I would urge Labour to look again at what we've said. We agree with Labour: we don't think there is a mandate for change. We do think the people of Wales must first be asked their view before change is introduced. And as a matter for Wales, this should be decided in the National Assembly, not at Westminster. We disagree with Labour on First Past The Post. It's our view that it would be bad for Welsh democracy.

In the early stages when the digital world hadn't gained much exposure, consistent manual efforts seemed just enough to achieve the desired goals. But in the 21st century, we live in a world that is completely driven by data.
Everything you do, every interaction you make in your day-to-day life, as simple as checking your e-mail, has some kind of data associated with it. Trust me, no one ever said manual efforts are useless but in order to keep up with the fast expanding pace of data in this competitive world, it's high time we switched to something more efficient and easily manageable.
Even Steve Jobs himself pointed this out by saying,
"I don't need a hard disk in my computer if I can get to the server faster… carrying around these non-connected computers is Byzantine by comparison."
And, this is where Cloud Computing comes in.
Simply put, Cloud Computing is the delivery of IT services and resources on-demand via the Internet. This technology allows users to access, store and manipulate rich data on remote servers with much ease. It follows a pay-per-use model which requires the users to pay only for the resources they make use of. Thus, Cloud Computing puts the users (both professional and non-professional) in a comfortable position where they don't have to worry about storage issues. You can easily gain access to all your files and applications from anywhere in the world and all you need is a simple device connected to the Internet. To understand this vast concept even better, it is inevitable that you get to know some of the cloud terminologies.
Cloud Computing can be broadly classified into three major types: Software as a Service (SaaS), Platform as a Service(PaaS) and Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).
SOFTWARE AS A SERVICE (SaaS):
SaaS has been gaining more popularity over the past few years as it effortlessly delivers software applications to the users via the Internet. These applications are owned and operated by third-party service providers. This reduces complexities by a huge amount and saves time by eliminating the conventional ways of installing, maintaining and upgrading software. Instead with SaaS, access to applications is much more convenient with just an Internet connection. Most of the Google Apps that you use are ideal examples of SaaS services.
PLATFORM AS A SERVICE (PaaS):
PaaS services are more suitable for developers in the sense that they offer the complete environment required to develop, design, test and run applications from simple web-based apps to more sophisticated enterprise applications. It supports the entire lifecycle of an application.
INFRASTRUCTURE AS A SERVICE (IaaS):
IaaS provides all the necessary computing resources that one may need such as operating systems, servers and even storage. If you're using IaaS, you don't have to worry about having to purchase servers, the huge spaces they are likely to occupy and the crucial process of maintaining them. Your IaaS provider will do all that for you while you simply enjoy the end results.
In addition to these services, you can also choose from public, private and hybrid clouds. The public cloud is usually hosted by a third-party provider who is responsible for managing the cloud. Rightly known as the enterprise cloud, the private cloud exists on the company's intranet with a higher level of security when compared to public clouds. A hybrid cloud combines the features of both public and private clouds allowing applications to move between them thus, providing greater flexibility.
It's a race that every organization is trying to win. When you're competing, it's indispensable that you adopt smart ways to win over your opponents. Here are few reasons why switching to a cloud is actually smart.
Moving to the cloud can actually cut down the cost on a major level contrary to the popular belief that the migration process can be expensive. It reduces the operational and maintenance costs and promotes the organization's services.
With all the data, files and applications stored on the cloud, one does not need to be in a particular place to access the resources. The cloud services can also be accessed on your smartphones which makes cloud computing ubiquitous and highly preferred. This turned out to be a miracle worker for organizations who cater to their customers 24/7.
Based on the organization's changing requirements, the cloud services can be scaled up and down quickly. And, these changes can be made effortlessly without the need for any complex, time-consuming upgrades.
Cloud encourages the people of an organization to share files in real-time where everyone can have access to the same data which provides consistency.
Failure recovery mechanisms need to be implemented as loss of important data can downsize the performance of an organization. While predicting the failures can be a little bit tedious, cloud services are capable of providing promising data recovery methods.
In the initial stages of cloud computing, security was one of the main concerns and even one of the main reasons why several organizations overlooked the opportunities the cloud can offer. Now, the cloud providers have established several security standards and have implemented the best security technologies in developing their security infrastructures.
With almost every organization making the paradigm shift, one can only expect the horizons of cloud computing to have expanded by manyfold. According to Gartner's research, Software as a Service covers a large segment of the cloud market with revenue that is expected to increase by 22.2 % in the year 2018. In the year 2017, the public cloud services market accounted to about $153.5 billion and is expected to grow by 21.4 % in 2018 amounting to a total of $186.4 billion in the year 2018. According to Gartner's magic quadrant, Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure are the leading cloud platforms in Infrastructure as a Service field with AWS being commonly sought after. Google Cloud, on the other hand, is currently ranking third but it is expected that its huge investment in analytics will likely bring Google up the ladder. Another competitor in emergence is the Alibaba Cloud and it is widely prevalent in China. Let us take a look at the PayScale results to find out the real career scope in this field.
With more and more organizations seeking cloud services, the job opportunities in this particular field is growing in size. Investing in cloud computing skills and gaining more knowledge can take you a long way in achieving your dream career.

A variety of pivotal events and global currents—from global economic recovery to the U.S. presidential elections to Brexit—has influenced cross-border M&A trends thus far in 2016 and will continue to make an impact in the foreseeable future.
Slow growth in Q1 transitioned into a somewhat turbulent Q2. Recent market volatility followed many issues, including the tumultuous U.S. presidential campaign, consistently low oil and commodity prices, and political fallout from the Brexit vote. All of these contributed to decreased cross-border M&A activity this past quarter. Global deals have dropped 20 percent in comparison to the same period last year, but 2015 boasted record levels of M&A volumes.
By volume, North America was the largest outbound cross-border market in Q2. It made 263 outbound cross-border deals, totaling $38.5 billion USD. Of those, 67 percent targeted the EU. Asia-Pacific came in second with a total of $50.5 billion USD invested in 188 cross-border transactions. A majority of those also targeted the EU.
By sector, industrials placed at the top of the volume charts in Q2 with 199 cross-border transactions, followed by technology with 182 deals, business services with 172 deals, and consumer with 160 deals.
Chairman Roger Altman of Evercore Partners, an independent investment banking advisory firm, stated that the requisite elements for "buoyancy in M&A" are present. These include soaring stock prices, low-interest rates, and high availability of credit. He opined that scant evidence exists to show that the U.K's decision to exit the EU has notably hampered deal making. Overall, while certain noteworthy events possess the potential to decrease deals, especially in certain regions, M&A activity is expected to remain fairly steady throughout Q3.
M&A agreements increased 67.8 percent in Japan during the first half of 2016, but the majority was domestic. Only 20 of the 195 announced transactions came from foreign investors. Japanese investment in foreign markets has also eased up.
Meanwhile, China continues to increase its outbound transactions. According to a report by Mergermarket, a media company that specializes in corporate financial analysis, the Chinese government handpicks which firm is permitted to bid on a non-Asian firm, but it allows multiple companies to bid if the foreign company is valued at greater than $2 billion USD. This increased spending by Chinese firms has put greater pressure on European and American companies during the bidding process because Chinese companies are prepared to pay a premium for valuable European assets.
The U.K.'s June 23 vote to quit the EU led a number of investment banks and international organizations to lower their expectations for growth in Britain. Inbound transactions in Q2 fell to less than 50 percent of Q1's volume. This slowdown is expected to continue. Whether the impending U.K. exit from the EU is swift and organized will have a tremendous impact on global deal making. Baker & McKenzie, one of the world's largest international law firms, released its Global Transactions Forecast, which predicted that a disorderly exit could cause up to a $1.6 trillion USD loss in global M&A activity. Baker & McKenzie forecasted that a middle-of-the-road response will lead to a 33 percent drop in global M&A activity in 2017, with a recovery timeframe of two years. One particular advantage of Brexit is that a weaker pound will make U.K. valuations more appealing. Nevertheless, a clear roadmap for exiting the EU is necessary for fostering the confidence required for a successful M&A market.
Political upheaval leads to market uncertainty, which negatively impacts M&A volume. Global technology provider Intralinks' Global M&A Sentiment Survey—an analysis of around 1,700 global dealmakers—found that 73 percent of respondents believe Hillary Clinton will win the presidential election. Only 23 percent believe her presidency would negatively impact M&A activity, and 54 percent think it would have no impact.
On the other hand, 27 percent of global dealmakers think Donald Trump will win the popular vote, with 52 percent believing he would have a negative impact and only 24 percent thinking he would have a positive impact. For the time being, this unpredictability is likely to hinder transaction growth, although in general, this impacts the region more than the globe.
Pharma activity has been going strong and is expected to continue to do so. In fact, in Q2, Germany's Boehringer Ingelheim acquired Merial, a French veterinary pharma company, for $12.56 billion USD, making it Q2's highest-valued transaction. In the U.K., much of the deal making is happening with specialized companies that ship products around the world. For example, Martindale Pharma—a British drug maker that produces emergency room medicines—is currently in talks with advisors about a potential sale.
Compared to last year, hospital M&A activity is experiencing an uptick of 6.1 percent. At least 52 hospital and healthcare system transactions took place in the first half of 2016. According to management consulting service Kaufman Hall, this increase is likely due to whirlwind changes taking place in the industry and the existence of a number of organizations that are ill-prepared to independently provide value-based care.
In the nonprofit healthcare and hospital sector, increasing patient volumes and low uninsured rates—primarily as a result of Medicaid expansion—has led rating agency Moody's Investors Service to confirm a stable outlook for Q3. Moody's predicted the sector's growth over the upcoming quarters to moderate while remaining positive.
The insurance industry experienced a banner year in 2015, with U.S.-targeted mega deals and a large volume of activity in Asia Pacific. Baker & McKenzie maintained that insurers are more concerned with long-term considerations, meaning short- to mid-term instability in the market—whether caused by Brexit, presidential elections or otherwise—is not likely to have a major impact.
Cross-border M&A transactions invariably involve a number of uncertain variables: whether your legal proceedings are being properly handled in the host country should not be one of them.
With so much at stake, companies that are pursuing cross-border transactions need a dependable process agent to help them remain compliant in unknown territories and gather financing. Maintaining compliance in new and difficult countries can be burdensome. Additionally, legal agreements in international jurisdictions often require a local agent to accept service of process and miscellaneous legal documents. Even requirements and activities considered second nature to a company become complex in a foreign jurisdiction. Missing important deadlines or payments in the host country could lead to costly penalties and lost time.
Before appointing a process agent, all relevant parties should agree upon the terms of the transaction. Immediately after the terms have been defined, the parties must engage the process agent. Given the nature of M&A deals, swiftness is essential.
When seeking to engage a process agent, choose someone who is flexible and well-versed in the foreign jurisdiction's legal proceedings. Appointing a professional process agent will lend greater confidence to parties of cross-border M&A deals that there will not be any missed or mishandled legal proceedings, which often lead to expensive default judgments, government penalties, and bad public relations. By engaging a trusted point of contact in the foreign jurisdiction, you can relax knowing that someone is handling your compliance needs.

For more information, visit https://eastendartsorg.presencehost.net/calendar/event/2017/02/03/1486098000/rosalie-dimon-gallery-show-steve-alpert-james-slezak/150021.
A native New Yorker, Steve Alpert has been painting for more than forty years. Fine art galleries all over the U.S. represent Mr. Alpert's work. Alpert also makes American Military Contemporary paintings that honor the men and women who serve and have served in the U.S. Armed Services. His triptych, "Portrait of a Woman" was on exhibition at the home of the Vice-President during the 2015 holiday season before being unveiled at the Women in Military Service for America Museum at Arlington National Cemetery. Mr. Alpert's military paintings are part of the permanent collections of The United States Museum of the Marine Corps, Quantico VA, The Pentagon, and the Air Mobility Command Museum, Dover AFB, Dover, DE. In addition to his work as a painter, Alpert is also an author, theatrical producer, and teacher. A partial list of galleries includes: George Billis's Art Essex of Essex, CT; DFS of Manhattan, NY; Beacon Fine Art of Red Bank, NJ; Chandler Gallery of Jupiter, FL; Dean Day Gallery of Houston, TX; Kirchmann Gallery of Johnson City, TX; Ocean Reef Gallery of North Key Largo, FL; Sottil Studios Key West, FL; Petris Fine Art of Sausalito, CA; Rich Timmons Gallery of Doylestown, PA; Royal Street Gallery, Aspen, CO. Steve Alpert is married to Dorothy Devlin, CEO of Devlinhair Productions in New York City. Steve Alpert maintains working studios in Manhattan, NY, and in Quogue, NY.
Photographer James Slezak's images in the Rosalie Dimon Gallery exhibit show some of the range of what interests this award-winning photographic artist. Some of these photos show the power and beauty of wind, ocean and light. Other images have been more extensively post-capture processed such as a sailboat silhouette against a warm hint of sunshine, a haunting multi-layered image of trees, dark waters and an over-sized moon and a selection of ghost-like, semi-transparent trees. The images were shot in Hawaii, Arizona and home territory, Hampton Bays. Slezak's images have been in shows at the East End Arts Gallery, Art League of Long Island, Suffolk County Historical Museum, Remsenburg Academy, Guild Hall, Southampton Cultural Center, Gallery North, Maryland Art Federation and Heckscher Art Museum; and have been published in the Riverhead News-Review, Attencion (a newspaper in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico), The Wine Press, The New York Times, The Sag Harbor Express, The Southampton Review, and The Sun magazine. "I have never thought of myself as an artist," comments Slezak. "I was trained as a scientist in a PhD program in experimental psychology many years ago. I left the program but do think of myself as having a scientific approach to most matters. I am comfortable with most things that are technical and worked in information technology for two decades. For me the practice of photography is frequently a flow experience and I am very tuned in to my visual surroundings. Images that have a meditative quality are often the outcome. Some of my images freeze fleeting movements and shadows while other photos find the beauty in ordinary objects. Sometimes the final version of an image is quite a departure from what was caught originally on the camera sensor."

Fat Reduction
Laser fat removal / reduction technique is an effective alternative to traditional surgery for removing fat. However, it is only effective in small areas for example treatment of the face since it is a relatively small part of the human body and it is easy to treat this area with a less invasive procedure. In addition, the laser fat removal procedure is specifically designed to correct small details on the human body. It is perfect for hard to reach areas and small body parts. The laser fat removal treatment allows the patient to experience much less discomfort and a speedy recovery.
There are two types of Laser fat reduction or removal which include:
This is a laser fat removal option which stimulates the growth of collagen in our skin with the help of Capacitive Radiofrequency (CRF) technology. Capacitive Radiofrequency is recommended for all types of skin and it provides long lasting results. The treatment time depends on the skin area that the patient wishes to improve.
The procedure is very popular because it creates instant results. Immediately the treatment is completed, the client sees a positive change in the appearance of their skin. The treated area usually looks a lot smoother and has better texture.
It is a nonsurgical procedure that does not require any anesthesia. A physician may provide a pain medication upon the request of the patient. Patients experience a heating sensation as the RF energy is emitted from the hand piece.
The client may experience some redness and bruising in the treated area after the Thermal laser fat removal procedure. However, this discomfort is usually minimal and the patient is able to continue with their daily routine without interruption. It takes up to six months for the collagen to grow. For this reason, the client is not able to see the final results until several months after the procedure is completed.
This is also a common form of laser fat removal. It is an innovative body sculpting treatment which is non-invasive and the patient is able to move on with their busy day without much discomfort.
This laser opens a pore inside the wall of fat cells and releases the fat into the interstitial space. During the body's regular detoxification course, the excess fat is released.
It usually takes around 40 minutes to administer the procedure which is usually repeated three times per week in a period of two weeks. The laser is applied to the front side of the selected area for the first twenty minutes of the treatment and then the last twenty minutes is dedicated to the back side of the targeted area.
This procedure is not known to have any negative side effects at all. It uses a very low-level laser that is both safe and effective.

Michael Weller's Fifty Words seethes with a boundless energy, piercing the veils of a modern marriage to reveal the crumbling edifice of a ruined partnership.
It's been a damn good fall for Michael Weller. The Moonchildren playwright, who had delved into obscurity, is receiving two major Off-Broadway premieres this fall. What makes these back-to-back plays even more impressive is how they differ substantively and stylistically.
First up came Beast, a unrealistic so-called "fever dream" in which two lonely, injured Iraq War veterans return to the United States and confront President Bush, ultimately burning him to death. Now comes Fifty Words, which is a gritty, realistic domestic drama. Just as Beast was fascinating for its pure theatricality, Fifty Words is a thrilling character study splashed with nonstop verbal and physical energy.
Fifty Words begins at about 9 p.m. in Jan (Elizabeth Marvel) and Adam's (Norbert Leo Butz) Brooklyn
&nbspbrownstone. At present, they are reveling in the freedom of having waved off their young son to a neighborhood sleepover. They are alone for the first time in a decade.
Unfortunately, the solitude shatters the glue that was holding their marriage together. Jan is too busy on the computer to fulfill Adam's sexual appetite. We also learn that their son has been displaying some odd behavior at school. The principal wonders whether it is due to trouble at home.
Eventually, secrets are spilled (an affair, regrets, sinking job) and the entire evening goes to hell. But rather than merely scare us with signs of domestic disaster, Weller is attempting to pierce through the veils of modern marriage and into the ruins of a failed partnership.
The plays' title refers to a speech made by Jan where she muses that a married couple's sense of connection cannot be expressed in a single word like love, but would take fifty words or more. Weller ends the piece on a random, sudden note, unclear whether the pair will remain together.
Even if you find that Weller's text descends into melodrama or a traditional battle of the sexes, Austin Pendleton has staged a gripping production with two nuanced, naturalistic, occasionally violent performances by Norbert Leo Butz and Elizabeth Marvel.

As we analyze our clients' current online marketing efforts, in terms of how well they are meeting the needs of customers and Google, we find a common problem: their blogs are written for readers but ignoring what Google needs. (Yes, I could say "search engines," but Google currently dominates almost completely, as we all know and as statistics confirm.)
This problem is especially acute when the business is a small one, owned by a single person or a mom and pop. A blog topic will occur to a business owner – based on something that happened that day, or an experience that made a new concept super clear. "I should blog about that!" is the thought.
The business owner writes the blog. He or she may even use a tool like Yoast, a WordPress plug-in that helps us all make our posts more search-friendly, and may even manage to get that Yoast dot to go from red to orange to green, by making slight adjustments in the title, headline, and meta description. All seems logical and harmless.
Sadly, it's not.
Writing content for Google
Over time, as the business owner continues to generate content this way (and this is exactly what I used to do, don't feel bad), the company's search engine rankings don't improve very much. All that content, written at the expense of "doing other things that seem to matter more," doesn't seem to make the SEO or revenue needle move in the right direction.
Why not? Because these things need to happen before Google starts to pay attention.
Analysis. Apart from our daily experiences with our customers, or perhaps in addition to our daily experiences, there is an entire universe of search activity going on out there. Every day billions of searches are conducted by people, and some of those people are looking for you. Unfortunately our assumptions about how they search for us are always wrong. Yep, always.
Not only do we need to analyze and identify the phrases people are using to search for our product or service, we also need to see 1) which phrases they use to find your competition and 2) which phrases are more likely to lead to helping you, because they're not too highly contested.
Phrases that have an "SEO difficulty" over 50 (on a scale of 1 to 100) are being used by big-budget companies that are spending millions on SEO. If you are a small or medium-sized business, you're better off going after the more specific and less-contested keyword phrases. There are still plenty of people using those terms, and your chances of ranking on the first Google page are much greater if you target those terms.
Defining your "identity" for Google. We have created a tool that makes this possible and not too difficult. We figure out and document what your value elevator pitch should be; what makes you special; what other sites or organizations or customers you're associated with that lend credibility to your company; and, finally, the keyword concepts (under which there are dozens of keyword phrases) that people would use when searching for a company like yours.
As someone who manages dozens of writers, I find this tool is invaluable for keeping us on track with Google. You don't want to confuse Google. Google is one of the most powerful applications on the planet, but it's also still a "robot," and subtleties are lost on robots. Everything we write reinforces these basics, so even a dumb robot gets the Big Fat Hint and knows when and how to present you to searchers.

Conspiracy theories were what kept YouTube going, in its early days. Videos like the notorious Loose Change were shared millions of times, eventually allowing the rise of sites like InfoWars. But in the wake of the fake news epidemic, and criticism as conspiracy videos claiming Parkland, FL shooting survivors were "crisis actors" shot up the site's charts, YouTube announced a new initiative that would pair Wikipedia links with conspiracy theory videos. One problem: Nobody at YouTube bothered to tell the Wikimedia Foundation, which runs Wikipedia, and it's beginning to look like YouTube isn't trying to fix its problems, just pass the buck.
Announced at SXSW by YouTube's CEO, Susan Wojcicki, the proposed idea is simple. If you search Google for videos about common conspiracy theories, whether it's fluoridation in the water as mind control or that Alex Jones is secretly Bill Hicks, the video will prominently place a Wikipedia link on the site for users to click through and read the thorough debunking.
Today, the Wikimedia Foundation weighed in on Twitter, and pointed out that not only were they not informed of this, they have some serious problems with YouTube's solution:
What goes unmentioned here, possibly out of politeness, is that this means Wikipedia will be bombarded by conspiracy theorists, sticking the site's massive volunteer editing force with the job of filtering out bad citations and outright graffiti. As funny as it is when somebody adds politicians to the list of known invertebrates, a volunteer does need to go in and fix that.
It's also worth noting that you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. As anybody who's attended a Thanksgiving dinner knows, human beings aren't easily swayed from their opinions once they form, even in the face of contradictory evidence. In fact, proving definitively a person's opinion or belief is wrong is more likely to reinforce that belief. Just because the link is there, doesn't mean it'll be clicked. And even if the link is there, that still, fundamentally, doesn't address the problem.
Legally speaking, the Wikimedia Foundation can't just tell YouTube to go away. Wikipedia is freely licensed as part of its mission, so YouTube can link through to Wikipedia entries however it wants. But it's quickly become clear that, much like Twitter is desperate to change verification so it doesn't seem like an endorsement and Facebook would prefer users train themselves to spot fake news instead of booting fraudsters from the site, that to some degree, YouTube wants to have its cake and eat it too. It wants the clicks, and ad views, of conspiracy theory content, but it doesn't want any of the baggage or negative press that comes with it.
Unfortunately for YouTube, the only way to solve its conspiracy theory problems is likely to confront them directly.

I come from a family that Believes In Books. Every since I left home, my mother has been replacing me with her steadily expanding book collection. What used to be "Claire's Bedroom" is gradually becoming "run-off Library Room". To be fair, my bedroom in my mother's house has always played host to her books: visiting friends commented on the fact I had a bookshelf feauting Nelson Mandela's autobiography, French literature and Michael Moore's latest polemic amongst others. They weren't mine, guys!
I used to read a lot of books, a really wide range (crime, historical, comedy, bestellers) Then I seemed to run out of time – such is life. At the moment I don't even have a library membership. I really should get my life back in order, shouldn't I?
Anyway, books are important to me. I believe in collections of books. I believe in reading as many books as you possibly can. I find books a soothing yet invigorating presence, which is why my "dream house" contains whole rooms filled with books. So, starting here are some of the fiction books I'd include on the shelves…
- "Cloud Atlas" David Mitchell
- "Hitchhikers' Guide To The Galaxy" Douglas Adams
- "The Inferno" Dante
- "Night Watch" Terry Pratchett
Only a minority of books have a "re-readability" quality about them, I believe. In the majority of cases you follow the trajectory of the plot; revel in the imaginary world created within the pages; admire the author's prowess – yet once you put down the completed book it seems spent & uninviting. You've sucked the juices out of the book as you read it: there isn't much there left for you to return to.
Terry Pratchett's Discworld books are different. And that makes them truly masterpieces of fiction in my eyes. There's a richness of detail that rewards a re-run: the characters seem a lot more alive than most fictional creations, you want to revisit them. Terry Pratchetts are what I take on holiday, what I'll reach for if I want to leaf through something familiar and comforting.
Night Watch has to be my favourite Discworld book. Sam Vimes has to be one of my favourite Discworld heroes too – it's hard not to root for his stubborn cynicsm and dark humour. Despite this book inhabiting quite familiar narrative territory (time travel) it is a lot more atmospheric, dark and engrossing than a lot of his books. Vimes and the readers know that there's are a bloody revolution due to break imminently, the tension is cranked up in the background. It took my several re-reads of the book to realise that the main portion of the story is set over barely 48 hours. The action happens in the dark, brutal Ankh-Morpork of the past: there are shadowy secret police, the Night Watch go on patrol after sunset, conspiratories plot the revolution in whispered convesrations at elegant soirees. The sense of place is impeccable, I just love immersing myself in it.

Akzeptanz von innovativen Gesundheitstechnologien bei älteren Menschen – Ergebnisse einer empirischen Analyse (2018)
Dieser Artikel befasst sich mit der Akzeptanz von Gesundheitstechnologien in der Bevölkerung älterer Menschen. In diesem Kontext wurden qualitative und quantitative Daten bei Teilnehmern eines EU-geförderten Forschungsprojektes erhoben, die über einen Zeitraum von 24 Wochen einen Aktivitätsmonitor eingesetzt haben. Während die qualitativen Daten einen detaillierten Einblick in Praktiken und Einstellungen der Zielgruppe hinsichtlich der Nutzung solcher Technologien schaffen sollten, wurde mithilfe quantitativer Messungen das Akzeptanzverhalten älterer Menschen im Hinblick auf den Aktivitätsmonitor beschrieben. Die Kombination qualitativer und quantitativer Ergebnisse zeigt, dass Gesundheitstechnologien wie Aktivitätsmonitore grundsätzlich auf Interesse bei der älteren Bevölkerung stoßen, allerdings Merkmale wie das Design, die Bedienung sowie der Nutzen solcher Geräte maßgeblich zur Akzeptanz beitragen und diese Merkmale während Design- und Entwicklungsphasen priorisiert werden sollten.
Negotiating contradictions: engaging disparate stakeholder demands in designing for active and healthy ageing (2019)
MobiAssist - ICT-based Training System for People with Dementia and Their Caregivers: Results from a Field Study (2018)
As a result of ageing societies, the prevalence of dementia, and accordingly the need of care is increasing rapidly. Here, the use of ICT-based technologies may facilitate and promote a self-sustaining life-style for people with dementia and their caregivers. The presented poster describes early findings from the project MobiAssist and outlines the ICT-based training system. The system aims to increase the physical and cognitive capabilities of people with dementia, relief the caregivers and improve wellbeing of involved parties.
ICT-Based Fall Prevention System for Older Adults: Qualitative Results from a Long-Term Field Study (2016)
Falls and their consequences are arguably most important events for transition from independent living to institutional care for older adults. Information and communication technology (ICT)-based support of fall prevention and fall risk assessment under the control of the user has a tremendous potential to, over time, prevent falls and reduce associated harm and costs. Our research uses participative design and a persuasive health approach to allow for seamless integration of an ICT-based fall prevention system into older adults' everyday life. Based on a 6-month field study with 12 participants, we present qualitative results regarding the system use and provide insights into attitudes and practices of older adults concerning fall prevention and ICT-supported self-management of health. Our study demonstrates how it can lead to positive aspects of embodiment and health literacy through continuous monitoring of personal results, improved technical confidence, and quality of life. Implications are provided for designing similar systems.
Dementia not only affects the cognitive capabilities, especially memory and orientation, but also physical capabilities, which are associated with a decrease of physical activities. Here, ICT can play a major role to improve health, quality of life and wellbeing in older adults suffering from dementia and related stakeholders, such as relatives, professional and informal caregivers. The aim of the presented system is to increase physical and cognitive capabilities of people with dementia and their caregivers to support them in daily life activities, reduce the strain of the caregivers and improve both their wellbeing.
Exploring user experience and technology acceptance for a fall prevention system: Results from a randomized clinical trial and a living lab (2016)
Background: Falls are common in older adults and can result in serious injuries. Due to demographic changes, falls and related healthcare costs are likely to increase over the next years. Participation and motivation of older adults in fall prevention measures remain a challenge. The iStoppFalls project developed an information and communication technology (ICT)-based system for older adults to use at home in order to reduce common fall risk factors such as impaired balance and muscle weakness. The system aims at increasing older adults' motivation to participate in ICT-based fall prevention measures. This article reports on usability, user-experience and user-acceptance aspects affecting the use of the iStoppFalls system by older adults. Methods: In the course of a 16-week international multicenter study, 153 community-dwelling older adults aged 65+ participated in the iStoppFalls randomized controlled trial, of which half used the system in their home to exercise and assess their risk of falling. During the study, 60 participants completed questionnaires regarding the usability, user experience and user acceptance of the iStoppFalls system. Usability was measured with the System Usability Scale (SUS). For user experience the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES) was applied. User acceptance was assessed with the Dynamic Acceptance Model for the Re-evaluation of Technologies (DART). To collect more detailed data on usability, user experience and user acceptance, additional qualitative interviews and observations were conducted with participants. Results: Participants evaluated the usability of the system with an overall score of 62 (Standard Deviation, SD 15.58) out of 100, which suggests good usability. Most users enjoyed the iStoppFalls games and assessments, as shown by the overall PACES score of 31 (SD 8.03). With a score of 0.87 (SD 0.26), user acceptance results showed that participants accepted the iStoppFalls system for use in their own home. Interview data suggested that certain factors such as motivation, complexity or graphical design were different for gender and age. Conclusions: The results suggest that the iStoppFalls system has good usability, user experience and user acceptance. It will be important to take these along with factors such as motivation, gender and age into consideration when designing and further developing ICT-based fall prevention systems.
ICT-based system to predict and prevent falls (iStoppFalls): Results from an international multicenter randomized controlled trial (2015)
Background: Falls and fall-related injuries are a serious public health issue. Exercise programs can effectively reduce fall risk in older people. The iStoppFalls project developed an Information and Communication Technology-based system to deliver an unsupervised exercise program in older people's homes. The primary aims of the iStoppFalls randomized controlled trial were to assess the feasibility (exercise adherence, acceptability and safety) of the intervention program and its effectiveness on common fall risk factors. Methods: A total of 153 community-dwelling people aged 65+ years took part in this international, multicentre, randomized controlled trial. Intervention group participants conducted the exercise program for 16 weeks, with a recommended duration of 120 min/week for balance exergames and 60 min/week for strength exercises. All intervention and control participants received educational material including advice on a healthy lifestyle and fall prevention. Assessments included physical and cognitive tests, and questionnaires for health, fear of falling, number of falls, quality of life and psychosocial outcomes. Results: The median total exercise duration was 11.7 h (IQR = 22.0) over the 16-week intervention period. There were no adverse events. Physiological fall risk (Physiological Profile Assessment, PPA) reduced significantly more in the intervention group compared to the control group (F1,127 = 4.54, p = 0.035). There was a significant three-way interaction for fall risk assessed by the PPA between the high-adherence (>90 min/week; n = 18, 25.4 %), low-adherence (<90 min/week; n = 53, 74.6 %) and control group (F2,125 = 3.12, n = 75, p = 0.044). Post hoc analysis revealed a significantly larger effect in favour of the high-adherence group compared to the control group for fall risk (p = 0.031), postural sway (p = 0.046), stepping reaction time (p = 0.041), executive functioning (p = 0.044), and quality of life (p for trend = 0.052). Conclusions: The iStoppFalls exercise program reduced physiological fall risk in the study sample. Additional subgroup analyses revealed that intervention participants with better adherence also improved in postural sway, stepping reaction, and executive function.
Analysis of effects and usage indicators for a ICT-based fall prevention system in community dwelling older adults (2017)
Mobile health platforms for active and healthy ageing support in older adults – Design ideas from a participatory design study (2019)
In this paper, we provide a participatory design study of a mobile health platform for older adults that provides an integrative perspective on health data collected from different devices and apps. We illustrate the diversity and complexity of older adults' perspectives in the context of health and technology use, the challenges which follow on for the design of mobile health platforms that support active and healthy ageing (AHA) and our approach to addressing these challenges through a participatory design (PD) process. Interviews were conducted with older adults aged 65+ in a two-month study with the goal of understanding perspectives on health and technologies for AHA support. We identified challenges and derived design ideas for a mobile health platform called "My-AHA". For researchers in this field, the structured documentation of our procedures and results, as well as the implications derived provide valuable insights for the design of mobile health platforms for older adults.
Exploring influencing factors of technology use for active and healthy ageing support in older adults (2019)
Social Technology Appropriation in Dementia: Investigating the Role of Caregivers in Engaging People with Dementia with a Videogame-based Training System (2020)
There has been increasing interest in designing for dementia in recent years. Empirical investigation is now needed of the long-term role of caregivers in appropriating ICTs into the complex daily life of people with dementia (PwD). We present here the outcomes of a 4-month evaluation of the individual, social and institutional impact of a videogame-based training system. The everyday behavior and interactions of 52 PwD and 25 caregivers was studied qualitatively, focusing on the role played by caregivers in integrating the system into daily routines. Our results indicate that the successful appropriation of ICT for PwD depends partly on the physical, cognitive and social benefits for PwD, but especially on the added value perceived by their social care-network. We discuss the need for design in dementia to develop more socially embedded innovations that can address the social actors involved and thus contribute to practical solutions for professional and private care.

Costa et al (2014). An extended dynamic model of Lactococcus lactis metabolism for mannitol and 2,3-butanediol production.
May 2018, model of the month by Matthew Roberts
Mannitol has several therapeutic effects such as reducing intercranial pressure and preserving renal function [1]. The FI9630 strain of Lactococcus lactis with lactate dehydrogenase deficiency (derived from MG1363 strain) was further genetically modified in 2004 to increase the yield of mannitol [2]. This was achieved by deletion of the mtlA or mtlF genes that are involved in the phosphotransferase system. This double mutant strain additionally resulted in increased yield of 2,3-butanediol which is an industrial chemical used in the production of rubber and antifreeze [3]. In 2014, a mathematical model of Lactococcus lactis metabolism was formulated to include the mannitol and butanediol pathways [4]. Time series data of metabolite concentrations obtained through in vivo Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) was used to parametrise the mathematical model and the subsequent model analysis produced results that were consistent with the experimental observations from a decade earlier.
A previous model [5] incorporating glycolysis, pyruvate metabolism, ATPase pathway and phosphate exchange was extended to include the mannitol and butanediol pathways (Figure 1). The model used 'convenience' kinetic laws. 'Convenience kinetics' is a term introduced in 2006 [6] to describe a generalised Michaelis-Menten kinetic law that can accommodate reversible reactions, enzyme saturation, random binding, various stoichiometries and regulation by activators and inhibitors. The model consists of two compartments (intra- and extracellular), 26 species (15 intracellular), 21 reactions (20 convenience kinetics, 1 Hill function) and 112 parameters. Since the parameters in the previous model were obtained from in vitro experimental data, the model was then reparametrized de novo by fitting the time series in vivo data of eight metabloites of the central carbon metabolism. Unmeasured metabolites initial concentration and parameters are estimated from the model. The Michaelis Menten parameters were estimated using COPASI's [7] evolutionary programming method with the Michaelis Menten constants (Km) range-constrained between 0.01 and 100 mM and maximal velocity constants range-constrained between 0.001 and 1000 mM s-1. The results were then used for 10 additional optimisation simulations using the Hookes and Jeeves algorithm to reduce the probability of missing the global optimum solution. The final model could simulate the time series data reflecting metabolite concentrations after addition of a glucose pulse.
The in vivo model simulation results are shown in figure 2. Although each simulation provided a general good fit to the data, the parameter sets were quite different, highlighting the issue of identifiability [8 - 10]. Model validation was performed by comparing predicted metabolite concentrations against different data sets relating to independent experimental runs with varied glucose pulses (publication figures 3 and 4 [4]). In addition to accurate predicted simulations, sensitivity analysis revealed interesting results. To consider changes in the integrated response a global sensitivity analysis was performed in contrast to a local sensitivity analysis that only investigates changes in the steady state values. The maximal velocity (Vmax) parameters that relate to gene expression were perturbed. In the wild-type strain, perturbation of the Vmax relating to lactate dehydrogenase resulted in a large change in mannitol and 2,3 butanediol yield. Additionally, perturbations in the parameter relating to the phosphotransferase system (mtl) that regulates mannitol transport was found to significantly influence mannitol yield. This is consistent with the 2004 experiment that used the lactate dehydrogenase deficient FI9630 Lactococcus lactis strain with deletion of mtlA or mtlF genes to optimise mannitol yield. Sensitivity analysis also revealed both known optimisation targets for mannitol and 2,3-butanediol from experimental evidence and new targets that had not yet been investigated. A summary of these targets is listed in table 1 of the publication [4].
Figure 2 Simulation of ATP, NAD, NADH and PEP using parameter values to reproduce the red line in figure 2 of the publication [4]. The simulation was performed in COPASI 4.22 (Build 170).
Costa et al. (2014) [4] proposed a mathematical model of Lactococcus lactis metabolism with kinetic laws and parameter value references that provided accurate fits to experimental data. Additionally, sensitivity analysis provided results that were consistent with previous research findings, such as mannitol yield being highly sensitive to lactate dehydrogenase activity, as well as presenting novel optimisation targets for improved metabolite yields. This analysis illustrates the predictive power of mathematical models of appropriately detailed biological system using suitable kinetic laws.

T. Robertson (1863-1934) was a paragon of excellence in Bible scholarship—fully committed to biblical inerrancy, thorough in his research and study, and clear and readable in his writing. He stands even today unrivaled in his mastery of the New Testament.
Because these lectures were prepared for and presented in a seminary setting, they are more academic than "popular," compared with most of Robertson's other writings, but not excessively so. Robertson presents the history and views of the Pharisees in their first century context, as documented in ancient Jewish literature (Josephus, Philo, Mishnah, Talmud, etc.), and discussed in the secondary literature. He also exhaustively presents and analyzes the many contacts, encounters and confrontations between Jesus and the Pharisees as reported in the New Testament. The book has extensive bibliography, and is thoroughly indexed.
This little volume is simply outstanding in every way. Used copies as well as print-on-demand editions are readily available.
Quotations from The Pharisees and Jesus
The Pharisees and Jesus: The Stone Lectures for 1915-16, Delivered at the Princeton Theological Seminary by A. T. Robertson. London: Duckworth & Co., 1919. 189 pp., hardback.
"[Albert Schweitzer, in his Quest for the Historical Jesus,] has tried to overthrow 'the modern Jesus' of theology by the 'true historical Jesus,' but he is so confused by the dust of his own learning that he cannot recognize Jesus when he sees him." p. 4
"Certainly, true Judaism was not hypocrisy, but it is remarkable the Psalms of Solomon (a Pharisaic book), the New Testament and the Talmud (the Pharisaic Bible) all give hypocrisy as the chief sin of the Pharisees." p. 23
"This oral teaching of tradition of the elders was held to be authoritative. Rabbi Eleazar of Modin says: 'Whoever interprets Scripture in opposition to tradition has no part in the future world.' Once more we read: 'the voice of the Rabbi is as the voice of God' (Babylonian Talmud, tractate Erubin, folio 21, column 2), and 'To be against the word of the scribes is more punishable than to be against the word of the Bible' (Babylonian Talmud, tractate Sanhedrin 11:3). Surely Jesus does not strain the point at all when he says with fine irony: 'Full well do ye reject the commandment of God that ye may keep your tradition.' In time the rabbis came to say this: 'Moses received the (oral) Law from Sinai, and delivered it to Joshua and Joshua to the elders, and the elders to the prophets, and the prophets to the men of the great synagogue.' They either read all the oral law into the written law (eisegesis) or twisted it out of the written law (exegesis) in ways wonderful to behold." p. 30
"Undoubtedly the rabbis thought that the Halachah [i.e., rules and regulations in the Law of Moses] as interpreted by them was the will of God." p. 31
"I cannot pose as an impartial witness, but I have never read a book so dull as the minutiae and hair-splitting tortuosities of the Mishnah and Gemara [i.e., Talmud exposition of Mishnah]. One opens almost anywhere and it requires a positive effort to go on." p. 34
"In the Jewish Prayer Book we read: 'Blessed art thou, O Lord God, King of the universe, who hast not made me a heathen. Blessed art thou … who hast not made me a bondman. Blessed art thou … who hast not made me a woman.' The Pharisee thus has pride of race, of position, of sex, and of laborious personal purity by attention to the formulae for righteousness, by doing which he gained salvation. In all this he thought that he was doing the will of God." p. 47
"Farrar notes that the name of Jesus appears only about twenty times in the unexpurgated editions of the Talmud, the last of which was published in Amsterdam in 164." p. 53
"The Talmud does speak a deal about repentance, but as 'only another form of work-righteousness,' and 'Rabbinism had no welcome to the sinner' til he had cleansed himself ceremonially before God and man. Indeed 'the last word of Rabbinism is only a kind of Pessimism.'" p. 77 (quoting A. Edersheim, Life and Times of Jesus the Messiah, pp. 509, 513)
"Fasting with Jesus is an individual act for a real reason, not a stated function for empty show." p. 82
"Religious controversy is a calamity, but it is often unavoidable, unless one is willing to give error a clear road to victory. Loyalty to truth demands that one speak the truth in love for those in error." p. 110
"There is today many a scholar who has lost his way, and is unable to find God." p. 113
"The Pharisees were the shining example of wasted spiritual privilege." p. 118
"The Pharisees at any rate pretended to a holy life, and often attained it in externals." p. 126
"Jesus accuses the rabbis of placing the Halachah above the Torah, as the Talmud plainly does… . 'He who transgress the word of the scribes throws away his life'." [Babylonian Talmud, tractate Berachoth, folio iv, column 2], p. 130
"Jesus is the test of love for God. He reveals God to men and also reveals men to themselves." p. 154

It's only ten days until Winter here in South Eastern Australia (we live in the Yarra Ranges, among some of the most beautiful forest I've ever seen).
This makes working out in our driveway a fairly chilly and wet experience. We came home last night to see that on the first day of the build, Luke has managed to source the material we'll need for the back sleeping part of the bus, set up his equipment, start cutting and building our bed frame. It is super heavy duty which is good as both Brad and I are not tiny people. It's already hinged at the back so the whole bed can be lifted up for access to the storage underneath and also because there is internal access to the engine there should we need to go in from the top. He's also building cute little hideyholes for things and making really clever use of space. We're lucky to have him. On each side coming forward from our queen bed there will be a sleeping nook for the girls and more storage under there. So. Freakin'. Exciting!
However, there are always lessons to learn and one of them is to expect the unexpected costs and to make your peace with them. Luke quite correctly pointed out that the bus is on a very slight lean to one side, which I guess is to be expected living in the hills however it means that he can't use a level to make sure that the build is completely straight. This means more work for him in constantly measuring to ensure things are straight. We'll need to get some levelers under the wheels to fix this but that also means starting her up – and her batteries are flat. So we'll need to get that sorted too. Also, one of the window seals is leaking quite badly, right where Luke is trying to work, meaning the woodwork will get wet and possibly damage the wood. So the lesson here is, there are always going to be unexpected things that get in the way of what you want to do, and feeling disappointed about that will take away your joy at all of the things that are going right. I'm still working on that, but I have a feeling it will become quite an important skill in working towards making Ms Beauregard a beauty.

Preserving a Timbit of history
December 23, 2015 – POSTED BY UNIVERSITY COMMUNICATIONS
A University of Saskatchewan alumnus is part of a team that redeveloped the world's first Tim Hortons location.
Element Project Services (EPS), a Saskatoon-based engineering firm co-founded by mechanical engineering graduate Mark Oleniuk (BE '06), recently wrapped up extensive renovations to "Store One," the original location of the ubiquitous coffee chain and Canadian institution.
The location had its grand opening Jan. 7. In addition to serving all the Tim Hortons favourites, the store has a second-floor museum where retro uniforms and other pieces of company nostalgia are on display.
Local Hamilton media was on hand to mark the first day of operation for the renovated store.

On June 29, 2016, Obama's Attorney General, Loretta Lynch just happened to run into former POTUS Bill Clinton on the tarmac of an Arizona airport.
Then presidential candidate Hillary Clinton called the meeting at Phoenix, Arizona's Sky Harbor Airport nothing more than a "chance meeting at an airport tarmac."
Lynch dismissed the importance of the meeting after it was revealed, saying the two discussed grandchildren and other subjects…completely unrelated to illegal email servers.
Trump knew the fix was in…
Does anybody really believe that Bill Clinton and the U.S.A.G. talked only about "grandkids" and golf for 37 minutes in plane on tarmac?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 3, 2016
And so did most of America…
#FakeTravelFacts ???? #LorettaLynch & Bill Clinton run N2 each other on a tarmac & chat grandkids,golf & work a jigsaw pic.twitter.com/SprWMxaKR2
— Dr. RubberBlon™???????? (@RubberBlon) July 4, 2016
Six days later former FBI Director James Comey cleared Hillary Clinton of any alleged crimes related to the ongoing email server investigation.
Zerohedge reports…
Not surprisingly, following the above media clip several concerned watchdog groups filed FOIA requests seeking any and all DOJ and/or FBI documents related to what was either (i) a really poorly timed meeting, in the best case, or (ii) a clear attempt by a former President of the United States to apply leverage over the current Attorney General to obstruct justice and get his wife elected President, in the worst case.
After originally being told by the FBI there were no documents to produce in response to their July 2016 FOIA request, Judicial Watch's Tom Fitton was subsequently told in October 2017 that the FBI had simply overlooked 30 pages worth of relevant docs…30 pages which Fitton now says will mark the "beginning of the end" of the DOJ's "cover-up" when they're released this Thursday.
FBI Hid Clinton/Lynch Tarmac Meeting Records. But the cover-up begins to end — thanks to @JudicialWatch — the day after tomorrow. @RealDonaldTrump needs to clean house at FBI/DOJ.

— Tom Fitton (@TomFitton) November 28, 2017
Fitton expressed his frustration with the botched FOIA response back in October. He described the FBI as "out of control" and saying it's "stunning that the FBI 'found' these Clinton-Lynch tarmac records only after we caught the agency hiding them in another lawsuit."
Via Judicial Watch…
"The FBI is out of control. It is stunning that the FBI 'found' these Clinton-Lynch tarmac records only after we caught the agency hiding them in another lawsuit," stated Judicial Watch Tom Fitton. "Judicial Watch will continue to press for answers about the FBI's document games in court. In the meantime, the FBI should stop the stonewall and release these new records immediately."
This case has also forced the FBI to release to the public the FBI's Clinton investigative file, although more than half of the records remain withheld. The FBI has also told Judicial Watch that it anticipates completing the processing of these materials by July 2018.
There is significant controversy about whether the FBI and Obama Justice Department investigation gave Clinton and other witnesses and potential targets preferential treatment.
Come Thursday, Judicial Watch may release documents that expose collusion between a former U.S. President, the FBI and the sitting Attorney General.
Now that the Clinton mafia has been neutered, powerless and plagued with a re-examination of Bill's sexual past, justice may will finally see the light of day.

Yes..you saw it RIGHT.. the 'not-so-friendly' visit to the dentist to get my "senget-ed" wisdom tooth removed. - by SURGERY. yes..by cutting open the gum..saw the darn tooth into 3 pcs before extracting it out one-by-one! ...*ouch*...describing it alone sends chills down my spine..
Hope that the dentist wont force open my mouth till like that.

Been spending EVERY nite out in the cinema last week...and it's been really interesting.
Movies that I've watched:
An interesting teen flick that's quite entertaining as it started off with a troubled teen that has been "home-jailed" for hitting his tutor. Staying home and unable to go past the perimeter of his house, Kale decides to venture into voyeurism instead. Cute new neighbour, a crazy buddy and a serial killer living next door.. go figure...
Disney & Pixar never fails to make a rodent looks adorable. In this case, its a rat!. and a rat that can COOK ! Very adorable 2 hour animation that brings u into the world of the rodents with human contact. Very entertaining.
Jay Chou's first attempt in directing a movie has really paid off in this romance drama. The movie starts off with Jay enrolling himself in a pretigious music/creative arts school and before you know it, the scenes has already drawn you into the fantasy world. Remember, this 'Secret' is not to be told to anyone who's yet to watch this movie. Intriguing storyline & fabulous soundtrack.
Highly recommended. Very "lummmm".....
And finally, a terribly and i really mean TERRIBLE watered down version of the Fast & Furious sequel. Lame story line and jokes. Same few cars, same streets (track). VERY fake CGI ! As in every "car racing" movie, there's a chick..and the one in this is definitely NOT worth a second look..
Just lousy! Waste of time and money to watch this one. Can't believe I'm being entertained by 90mins of lame dialogue lines...*pukes* .
Now that's what i call a "productive week".

This post is requested by none other than my best buddy..Alvin Lai.
Most of you wouldnt have known me when I was driving this lil' car 4years ago; the now extinct Proton Tiara. Had quite some good fun with it for `bout a year and a half before I got rid of it after it died on me when i was in Bangsar and also coz some lorry hit me from the back.

Was in town to meet up with Michel who's down in kay-el for`bout a week alongside her sidekick Ms.Pearl Milk Tea Sucker Champ -Andrea... (named her that coz I was defeated by her in gettin all the "pearls" outta the cup of milk tea)...oh well.. anyway..

After all the advertisement hype and teasers, not forgetting the countless spy pix and info's from paultan's site.....the new pride & joy of Proton (rumoured to be Proton Persona) has finally been SPOTTED !
Priced between the range of $45-55k price bracket, lets hope this model wouldnt be another flop for this dying company.
Equipped with the Campro 1.6L engine developed in collaboration with Proton & Lotus, the auto transmission for this model comes with a new TCU (Transmission Control Unit) which provides a better shifting pattern compared to its predecessors. It is still unsure if this new model will come with the much talked about CPS (the variable valve thingy) though.
Well, at least its reassuring to know that the top-of-the-range model (High Line) comes with dual airbags, ABS, wateva other gizmo's and of course....*taddaaa* -Remote Trunk Release on the alarm control module with your car keys. Its about time Proton throws in these lil' extra's..
According to some Proton insiders, this model has a higher headroom for the rear passengers, larger boot space (bigger than that of the Waja's), and other tiny details like the change of the interior color scheme, redesigned handbrake lever (the famous samurai sword on the Gen2), relocated power window switches to the doors, extra cupholders and completely foldable rear seats. (more family oriented model)
For more info and the see-it-to-believe experience, guess we've gotta wait till 15th August for the launch, OR alternatively, you could always go to paultan's site where all the latest scoops are.
now this is something to be proud of..
(at least the movie trailer looks promising)..
Our boleh-land's very own version of the Fast & Furious...
Tis' one's called: IMPAK MAKSIMA.
Check it out! Coming to cinemas soon.
