The Plot to Destroy Democracy Lib/E: How Putin and His Spies Are Undermining America and Dismantling the West (Compact Disc)
Email or call for price.
Retired Intelligence officer and New York Times bestselling author of The Plot to Hack America Malcolm Nance offers a provocative, comprehensive analysis of the Russian Federation's master plan to destroy democracy, the methodologies used in the 2016 election, what will be their next steps, and how to stop them.
Malcolm Nance's previous book, the New York Times bestselling The Plot to Hack America, blew the whistle on Russia's hacking of the Democratic National Committee and Vladimir Putin's plans to undermine the 2016 presidential election, alerting the public to the full scale of the hacking and helping usher that story to the top of the headlines. Based on his original research and countless interviews with espionage experts, Nance's new book, The Plot to Destroy Democracy, examines why Putin and his underlings aimed to sabotage the election, reveals the full scope of their plans-including how the hacking accomplished a crucial first step for destabilizing the West-as well as what they have in store.
The Plot to Destroy Democracy exposes how Russia has supported the campaigns of right-wing extremists throughout the United States and Europe, seeking to create antidemocratic sentiment around the world that can be leveraged to build a Russian-led alliance of nondemocratic autocracies. Nance examines how and why Putin's associates have sought to bring fringe candidates in the West into the mainstream and how they have used the populist battlefield of social media to mount their vicious campaigns.
Revelatory, insightful, and at times shocking, The Plot to Destroy Democracy reveals for the first time how Russia's recent hackings in the United States and Europe and its increasingly belligerent rhetoric fit into its master plan to unseat democracies around the world.

Operatic works includes Three Four, an off-theatre opera on texts by famous Russian conceptual poet Lev Rubinstein (staged in 2013 by Dmitry Volkostrelov), and The Sverlians, part of the opera serial on the book by Boris Yukhananov (staged in June 2015 by Boris Yukhananov).
Filanovsky is proteistic by nature, feeling himself as a Stravinsky-like creative type. He experiences strong tension to documentary texts and generative poetry (Scompositio, Words and Spaces, bzdmn, He made forty) as well as Russian nonsense verses (A Certain Quantity of Conversations, Janko Krul Albanskaj, Lesvet Setmy). From other side, he feels the spirit of deconstruction and plays with performing habits (We Can't perform It, Schmozart, Seemphony, play.list). Last years he elaborates vast monotimbral compositions with fuzzy logic as main formal principle (Collectivision, Der Lauf der Dinge, La Machine Fleuve – together with Arno Fabre).
What colleagues and press say
"Filanovsky is a separate composers' category. Academicism is his biggest weapon and at the same time his obstacle and hostile environment, and his idée fixe. From the entire StRes-group he is the most Russian composer. I consider him an heir to Shostakovich. If there had been no Shostakovich, Filanovsky would have been very different. And vice versa, if Shostakovich were alive, he would probably do the same as Filanovsky."
Theodor Kurentzis, conductor
"…the most important part of Filanovsky's method is his work with the form. It seems to have nothing comparable in contemporary Russian music, but there is somewhat of an ancestor, Stravinsky with his famous constructing in parallelisms. Famous formulae are usually unlucky, since everybody knows them, but deep down nobody understands their meaning. This formula is lucky, because Filanovsky does understand. And acts in a different manner."
Anton Svetlichny, composer and theoretician
"Boris and I have known each other for 10 years. And for all those years he surprised me with his ability to be different every time. He is an ideal embodiment of the stravinskian kind of creator, a constant seeker and, even closer to Stravinsky, a constant finder. Filanovsky is a master of context games. He often employs composition models, which seem already adopted, long ago or only recently. However, he brings them in an exceptionally individual environment where these models begin to transform, change their meanings and turn into something else. On the whole, he is a composer of paradoxes: in his case permuting the summands of a sum always changes the value of the sum."
Dmitry Kourliandsky, composer
"The opera Three Four is definitely not for those peoplee who just want to have a good time: one has to make some efforts to get closer to the piece. All obstacles and traps set by the author constitute sort of a defence against ingrate listeners and outsiders. On the opposite, those who took the trouble were rewarded with a feeling of unique unity with the piece that is incredibly dazzling in spite of its bristling character."
Vladislav Moiseyev, Russian Reporter
"However the premiere of the opera Three Four did bring a certain bright aesthetic and emotional experience. The new opera of Filanovsky turned out to be a reflection about human life, with its sorrowful predeterminacy and finiteness. A certain experience of self-understanding, very intimate and, in spite of author's will, very emotional for every listener."
Gyulyara Sadykh-zade, Fontanka.ru
"One of Filanovsky's central creative principles is "to be someone different in each work". Yet in every composition, he is unmistakably himself: evincing a sonic realism that critically reflects on social, human or musical issues and that relies on methods of deconstruction and negation as starting points for sonic innovation. This compositional aesthetic corresponds with his conviction that the most important impetus for creativity lies in recognizing and overcoming limits."
Gisela Nauck, German musicologist (www.berliner-kuenstlerprogramm.de)
"In "bzdmn" Boris Filanovsky achieved a high level of reflection about the dilemma between constant indirectness of art and immediateness of social need. Filanovsky used texts of homeless people and put in the center of the artistic statement shabby and unauthentic things: music and words are a coat that brings warmth in need, and it is not important whether this coat is your own. Between the texts of homeless people one finds the Sermon on the Mount read aloud by Filanovsky himself without vowels. By means of this formalistic trick speech turns into stammer, mutter and asphixy which transform indirectness of art into immediateness that cannot be ignored."
Jan Brachmann, Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, 27.03.2009
"All Russian pieces performed during the [Maerzmusic] festival come to a sad end. The most so to speak Russian piece was composed by Boris Filanovsky. This is a travesty of holy lies of the orthodox church and nationalism flourishing amid social need, a travesty equal in its grotesque, poignancy and bright orchestration to The Nose of Shostakovich."
Stefan Amzoll, Der Freitag, 02.04.2009

In the middle of August 1997 the Yankees were looking for a right-handed bat as they attempted to get into the postseason one year after winning the World Series.
They sent minor league pitcher Tony Armas Jr. to the Red Sox for first baseman/catcher and former Yankee Mike Stanley.
The Yankees made the playoffs as the wild card but lost to the Indians in the opening round. Of course, that burned George Steinbrenner but a little over three months later the Red Sox used Armas to complete a trade, that already included Carl Pavano, with the Expos that delivered Pedro Martinez to Fenway Park.
That curled The Boss' hair and this was before Martinez tortured the Yankees for years.
Until Thursday's swap that brought infielder Stephen Drew to The Bronx for Kelly Johnson the Stanley-Armas swap was the last trade between the blood rivals.
"One of our two teams, one has to be in a playoff mode and in my opinion the other team has to be rebuilding to some degree,'' said general manager Brian Cashman, an assistant under Bob Watson in 1997, a year before he replaced him.
"There is a great deal of respect between the Red Sox and the Yankees. It's an amazing rivalry but certainly very careful, I think, when we do business with each other. That's an obvious statement.''
The Yankees inquired about David Price and Jon Lester and all but accepted that the Rays and Red Sox weren't going to do business with them although the clubs were intrigued by an improving pool of Yankee prospects.
"The pitcher in Tampa and the pitcher in Boston they were less willing to move within the [AL East] if not willing at all to move within the division which I understand,'' Cashman said of Price, who went to Detroit and Lester, who is now in Oakland.
The Yankees have to be happy about Price and Lester leaving the AL East and not landing in Baltimore or Toronto.
To make room for Stephen Drew the Yankees will designate Brian Roberts for assignment. Cashman spoke to Roberts Thursday about the move and praised Roberts and Kelly Johnson, who went to Boston for Drew, as professionals.
Johnson is on the DL with a groin problem and eligible to come off Aug. 7.
The Yankees will have to make a move to create space for Martin Prado. They could send Zoilo Almonte to the minors or in a bolder move could send the slumping Ichiro Suzuki away.
With Prado available to play right field, Ichiro could find himself in the same bind he was in at the beginning of the year when Carlos Beltran was the everyday right fielder, making Ichiro a defensive replacement or pinch runner.
The Yankees claimed right-handed reliever Esmil Rogers off waivers from the Blue Jays and he will join the Yankees' bullpen Friday night.

1st Quarter (2:24) - 3rd And 4
Both offenses were off to a slow start and it looked as if another Steelers drive was about to be stopped on 3rd down. Pittsburgh comes out in 12-personnel (1-RB, 2-TE) and Mike Zimmer doesn't buy it. He saw this earlier and the Steelers still passed the ball out of a usual running personnel grouping; he sends out his nickel defense.
This matches Leon Hall in the slot against the Steelers tight end Heath Miller. At the snap, Miller allows the other TE to clear out the field in front of him; Burfict follows. Hall keeps inside leverage on Miller even though he's running towards the corner; Hall sees it. Ben Roethlisberger is staring down his reliable tight end as he breaks his route back towards the middle, but Leon Hall jumps the route beautifully just as the ball arrives. Not only does Cincinnati's best defensive back play the coverage perfectly, he makes a nice open-field move to score the game's first points and the Bengals lone touchdown.
4th Quarter (0:31) - 1st And 10
Both teams missed an opportunity to win the game after each kicker couldn't hit their respective long field goal tries. Each team was trying to get back into position for another chance at ending this game in regulation. The Steelers were very aggressive with little time left on the clock. Cincinnati was playing very deep zone coverage; prevent defense, if you will.
As the pass rush forces Ben to bounce outside the pocket, the Steelers receivers and Mike Wallace transfer into scramble-mode, looking for open areas to catch a pass. With Newman coming up to keep Roethlisberger from running, the open area between he and Reggie Nelson became wide open. The Bengals get lucky when Wallace flattens his route towards the sideline and Roethlisberger throws towards the most open area. By this time, Nelson is already running full speed and makes the interception to give the Bengals one more chance.
4th Quarter (0:14) - 1st And 10
This was the first play after the Reggie Nelson interception. The Bengals come out with three receivers bunched to the right of Dalton. This will help keep A.J. Green get a free release, and the ball is going his way.
The play leaves Green one-on-one with Keenan Lewis and the Bengals stud receiver opens Lewis' hips and heads towards the sideline. The Bengals offensive line has a great pocket for Dalton to throw and Cincinnati's 2nd year quarterback delivers a strike. This wasn't an easy throw. These are the exact throws that he needs to make in clutch situations. Green, Dalton and the offensive line played their best when their best was needed and it sent the Bengals to the Playoffs.

On July 2, 1945, Private Louis Till, a negro soldier, of the 177th Port Company was executed in Italy for murder of one and assault of two white women, while stationed in Italy, in 1944 during World War II. Private Louis Till was buried quietly, by the American Army, in France. The details of his court martial and subsequent execution were kept quiet. His wife, Emmett's mother Mamie Bradley, was only told that her husband's death was caused by wilful misconduct.
Their son, Emmett was four years old at the time, and a world away, in America at the time.
"83 percent of the men executed in Europe, North Africa and the Mediterranean Theatres of operation were African-Americans, in an American army that was only 8.5% black."
(The Chicago Tribune, Sunday 25 September 2005)
Ten years later, in 1955, the son, Emmett Louis Till would be brutally beaten and hanged. His crime was said to have whistled at white woman. He was only 14-years-old. The young boy's body was identified, in part, by a ring he wore with the initials L.T. engraved into it.
(The Palm Beach Post, Sunday, 22 January 2017)
As the court case for the two men accused of the murder of 14 year old Emmett came to trial, lawyers for the defence sought to discredit 14-year-old Emmett. They dug up the story of his father during World War II.
(Messenger-Inquirer, Sunday, 16 October 1955)
(El Paso Herald, Wednesday, November 2, 1955)
2016 – The body of Emmett Till on permanent display at the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture
In July 2019, the decision was made to replace the memorial sign marking the spot where 14-year old Emmett Till's body was found in 1955. Till had been dragged from his home in the middle of the night, beaten, hanged and thrown into the Tallahatchie River in Mississippi. His crime was that a white woman said he whistled at her.
In 2007, a sign was erected along the Tallahatchie River in Mississippi, marking the spot where the body of Emmett Till was pulled from the water in 1955. The murder of Till, a 14-year-old African-American boy who was brutally killed by two white men, became a galvanizing incident of the Civil Rights Movement. But over the years, the memorial commemorating his death has been repeatedly vandalized—first stolen, then shot at, then shot at again, according to Nicole Chavez, Martin Savidge and Devon M. Sayers of CNN. Now, the Emmett Till Memorial Commission is planning to replace the damaged memorial with a bulletproof sign.
This will be the fourth sign that the commission has placed at the site. The first was swiped in 2008, and no arrests were ever made in connection with the incident. The replacement marker was vandalized with bullets, more than 100 rounds over the course of several years. Just 35 days after it was erected in 2018, the third sign was shot at as well.

Bank stocks revert to the levels of the last share capital increase
The completion of the second bailout review has led credit sector stocks to 12-month highs. The new agreement between Athens and its creditors has put banking stocks back on investors' radar screens as expectations that this could mean the crisis is bottoming out have strengthened.
Having suffered huge losses in recent years, as the recapitalizations sent old shares down to zero, bank stocks could be at the forefront of the market reaction should expectations for an economic recovery prove correct. The gains of the last few months effectively constitute the recovery of ground lost rather than real gains, as bank stocks remain more or less at the price levels during the last recapitalization of late 2015.
National Bank closed at 0.344 euros on Tuesday – i.e. above the 0.30-euro level of the share capital increase, and Alpha closed at 2.18 euros, against 2 euros upon recapitalization. Eurobank and Piraeus are close to their share capital increase level, with the former at 0.97 euros on Tuesday from 1 euro upon recapitalization, and the latter at 0.221 euros against 0.30 euros when it increased its shares.
The low valuations of Greek lenders compared to their European peers are an attractive feature that could lead to a strong rise in prices, particularly if the economy offers some positive developments.
Analysts estimate that domestic bank stocks will trade on a price-to-book ratio of 0.2-0.4 in 2018, while the ratio for European lenders is almost twice as high. On the other hand the huge pile of nonperforming loans is a major headache, because if banks fail to meet their targets for reducing NPLs they may find themselves in trouble ahead of the 2018 stress test.

When it comes to quick and easy breakfast, it doesn't get much easier than a bowl of cereal with milk. It's convenient and requires no cooking. The only downside? It's not always the most filling option, which means your stomach starts growling partway through your morning — kind of a pain if you've got a lot to do and want to avoid hangry outbursts. Sure, you could have a second bowl, but why not make it easier to get more bang for your nutritional buck with the first one?
As a dietitian and health coach, I help my clients streamline their healthy morning routine without skimping on nutrition or taste. Starting your day with a solid breakfast helps set you up for a productive, powerful day. These simple hacks will upgrade your a.m. bowl of cereal and actually keep you going until lunch.
Go with whole grain
Scope out the label to make sure that a whole grain is the first ingredient. A few good examples are oats, whole wheat, barley, buckwheat, quinoa, brown rice, and amaranth. For a similar calorie content to refined grains, you'll get more nutrients like B-vitamins and iron along with filling fiber. Yes, many refined cereals are fortified with those missing nutrients, but think about it this way: Those grains had to be refined to take all that stuff out, and then it was added back in a separate process. So much work! Why not just eat stuff that's naturally nutritious from the get-go without all that processing?
Filll up with fiber
Starting with a whole grain cereal is a good first step for making sure your meal is high in filling fiber. So why is fiber so important? Fiber slows digestion by taking up space in the GI tract. Soluble fiber makes a gel-like substance as it combines with water in the intestines, and insoluble fiber moves through the GI system, promoting regular digestion.
Aim for a cereal with at least four grams of fiber per serving. Aside from keeping you satisfied, it also helps you meet that recommended daily goal of 25-35 grams. Just keep in mind that when it comes to a refined cereal with fiber added to it, the label may boast a lot of grams, but what you're often getting is dressed-up junk food. To increase fiber naturally, top your cereal with a tablespoon or two of nuts or add a high-fiber fruit like blueberries (four grams per cup) or half a cup of chopped apple (two grams) .
Prioritize protein
Protein promotes satiety by helping slow digestion to buffer the breakdown of the carbs in your cereal — key to enjoying slow-burning energy that lasts all morning. Cow's milk provides about eight grams of protein per cup. In case you were wondering, skim, low-fat, and whole milk all have the same amount of protein.
For those avoiding dairy, soy milk and pea protein milk also provide about eight grams per cup. Just keep in mind that many other non-dairy milks like almond and coconut have very little protein. It's totally okay to use them — you just want to make sure you're getting some protein into your bowl another way. For example, you could add a few tablespoons of nuts or seeds, or whisk some protein powder into the milk before adding your cereal.
Some cereals on the market have added protein, but check the label — soy protein isolate is a commonly used source, but it's a processed form of soy best kept on the "in moderation" list.
Don't fear fat
Because it helps slow digestion, incorporating some fat into your breakfast can boost staying power. Another reason to include fat in your morning meal is that it helps enhance the absorption of certain fat-soluble nutrients in your food like Vitamins A and D.
Just note that a little goes a long way, as fat is calories-dense at nine calories per gram. Using a milk or yogurt that contains fat is one option. You can also top your bowl with nuts, seeds, or coconut flakes, or drizzle a little nut or seed butter on top as well. Again, just keep portions in mind, and take into consideration what else you're having in your meal. If you're having whole milk and there are almonds in your cereal, you may not need to add anything else.
Get cultured
Another cereal solution I often recommend is swapping out the milk in your bowl for yogurt or kefir. You'll get at least 12 grams of protein per cup, and even more if you use Greek or Icelandic yogurt, both of which are strained. Cultured cottage cheese is another good option. Aside from boosting staying power thanks to the protein, beneficial probiotic bacteria found in fermented dairy products may help support regular digestion and overall wellness. When our digestive system is good working order, it can help us feel more in touch with feelings of hunger and fullness.
Go slow with sugar
Not like this is breaking news or anything, but sugar is not your friend when it comes to getting the most mileage from your breakfast. Aside from adding empty calories, it messes with blood glucose control, especially when it's eaten without a lot of fat, protein, or fiber to buffer the breakdown of those simple carbs.
Ever wonder why you feel like a hangry beast an hour after eating, like, a donut or toaster pastry? Similar thing. This sets you up for an irritable mood and a feeling of not being able to stay full—not conducive to happy fun times or productivity. The insulin spike we get from taking in a big hit of sugar and the energy crash that follows can wreak havoc on our hunger hormones and makes it hard to regulate appetite throughout the day.
Look for cereals with less than five grams sugar per serving, which is equivalent to just over a teaspoon. Also, check the labels of non-dairy milks to make sure they're not sweetened, as that's a sneaky place sugar may find its way into the diet.
Smart fruit choices
Just a quick note on fruit: A little is a great way to add fiber as well as key vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants into your day. Too much of a good thing, however, is totally possible. Fruit is nutritious, but added too much can cause you to go overboard on carbs, since fruit contains fructose. Fruit can also be calorie-dense. If you know you're someone who likes to see a lot of food in the bowl, go for a high-fiber, lower-calorie fruit like berries rather than a banana. One cup of berries and half of a large banana, for example, will give you a similar number of calories (about 75) but you'll get loads more of filling fiber in the berries (anywhere from four to eight grams, depending on the type) than with that banana half (about one gram).
Play tricks on your eyes
Using a smaller bowl is probably my number-one tip to help you feel more satisfied from a mental standpoint because a smaller amount of food looks like more than it would in a larger bowl. Research has shown that visual cues like bowl size and even color can impact how satisfied we feel. For example, this study showed that people served themselves less when there was less of a contrast between the color of the food at the plate! I also recommend using actual bowls and silverware whenever possible if you're eating at work. Sure, you might be eating the exact same meal out of a to-go container, but the experience is totally different. When you consider that breakfast is your first meal of the day, it can really set the tone for what's ahead, so an extra few seconds can give you a boost that lasts all day!

While in the United States, Pope Francis exercised his prophetic office by comforting the afflicted and afflicting the comfortable, but he did it with a soft and respectful voice.
Before his arrival, some of his critics said that he hated America and didn't understand it, he was going to lecture Congress, he only talked about the poor and the rich and not working people, and he did not recognize that capitalism had brought millions of people out of poverty.
During his visit, especially in his talk to Congress, he confounded all his critics.
That Pope Francis loves the American people was clear in every encounter he had with individuals or crowds of people. He reached out with love and warmth to young and old, to everyone with whom he came into contact.
He also had clearly done his homework in studying America, which he called "the land of the free and the home of the brave."…

I finally settled on a theme I liked and was able to modify it enough for my liking.
But to the main point now! This is my big announcement post and it's also a long time coming! Some really great opportunities had been presented to me in the last few weeks and it was really hard for me to figure out which route I wanted to take with my life at this point (now that I'm officially graduating from school in mere weeks). A number of people I went to seeking life advice will tell you how much I struggled — because I always do seem to struggle with life-impacting decisions the most, LOL. But there werea lot of timing issues that added to the difficulty in decision-making as well! But anyway I won't go into details about the back-and-forth/back-and-forth that went through my mind every single day this last month, so I'll just cut to the chase:
Upon graduation of the NAIT TV Broadcasting program…
I will be Global Edmonton's newest (and youngest) news producer!
Yay!! I'll be prepping/producing the evening and final newscasts of the weekend Global Montreal shows. (Global Edmonton produces for affiliate stations out east. Their newsroom/studios don't have control rooms so our control room is used to air their shows along with our own). That will be three days a week and then I'll be fielding calls/setting up interviews/doing research in the local Trouble Shooter department of the newsroom on the fourth day (the official title we've worked out is "Trouble Shooter Researcher," hehe). I've also been told I should be able to pick up editing shifts on one of the three days I've got off and beyond that… more plans (read more below!)
While it wasn't the first producing job I wanted (because there had been an opportunity to become an online news producer for Global, which while I'm told I was one of the top contenders for, and that I had really impressed during the interview, I ultimately didn't get), I think this is a great, great, great next step for me in the broadcast industry! I've been told by many a-co-worker that not very many students straight out of school jump into a producing gig and especially one in a major market where the entire responsibility of the content/creation/flow of the shows rests upon my shoulders (and also the sole anchor in Montreal who I will be back and forth communicating with!)
So I'm very excited! I think this will give me great TV news producing experience and will definitely help as I grow and (hopefully :P) advance in the media industry. The only aspect of the industry that I wouldn't be getting from the producing job that I really still want to do is obviously – report and tell stories! But I'm not letting that stop me!
I've had for a long time wanted to write/shoot/edit stories just to fill my own personal desire to do so – for my website (and eventually in the future some kind of journalism/media website owned & operated by Mike & I!) So now with this producing gig that leaves me technically a 3-day weekend, I intend to use those days to take action on the many local/people-oriented story ideas swirling around in my head. I'll post the stories on this site to share with you visitors, to share with Twitter, Facebook, and the Edmonton community in general!
For now my storytelling will be done mostly through just text, maybe some audio clip inserts, maybe some iPhone video, and definitely photos and hopefully the use of neat social media tools that can enhance the stories further! I'll have wait a little while before I'm able to accompany my written stories with serious visuals because I need to invest in a prosumer video camera. That won't be until I'm thinking at least the summer when Mike and I have our money and other affairs (we're hoping to move in the coming month) in order before buying a camera! I also feel that with this multimedia journalism on the side, I will continue to actively be involved in aspects of media, storytelling, and online/web, which is something I am passionate about it and I feel that I would be an asset in a digital/media position potentially here at Global in the future or wherever else my skill sets and passion takes me!
But yes, I am super excited about this opportunity @ Global!
And super excited about ramping my side projects up a notch!
I still have another week to go in my practicum – normally it would be sidestepped with the job and I'd just start training on that right away but for my last week I'm video editing all week so that's a paid and previously arranged commitment. So after next week I'll be graduating and officially start training on news producing (and I've already gotten a taste of it throughout this practicum as well, which has been great!) and my official, official start date where I'm completely on my own as the new producer is May 26 but I'll start training as soon as May starts! :)
As the new header above states, (multi)media is my passion and I'm excited to take my side projects just a little bit further this year.
So stay tuned for more on this next chapter of my life!!
(Both professionally, and personally. Exciting changes!)

It originally was coined and used by queers. This was back when different lifestyles were actively embraced by our society. Later, when people realized that being lgbt was more profound and innate, the term lost favor.

A DUI conviction is going to be much different than any other ticket that is received on the road. Most drivers in California are going to receive some type of infraction on the road at some point in their life. Typically, these ordeals can be taken care of with a quick trip to the DMV, driving school, or minimal fines. When it comes to a DUI though, drivers are going to be thrust into a legal situation that will forever change their life.
The moment that the handcuffs go on, many drivers may feel like a conviction is inevitable. Whether it was a DUI checkpoint or a saturation patrol, law enforcement officers and judges would like individuals to pay the fines without a fight. This means that, all too often, drivers step into the Monterey Park courthouse prepared to plead guilty and hopefully move on. With the devastating penalties associated with a conviction, this can be a serious mistake.
Most specialists agree that a first-time offender will suffer a financial hit that is $10,000 or more if no other aggravating factors occurred. If there was an accident, injury, or death, costs could pass $75,000 in the blink of an eye. Drivers will also be looking at a suspended or revoked license that will make daily errands or trips to work nearly impossible.
We believe that every driver is entitled to legal representation that is going to produce results, no matter the circumstances. We are familiar with all local law enforcement agencies, courthouses, and judges. We know the correct steps that need to be taken to reduce or remove all of your penalties.Drivers that have been charged with a DUI have only 10 days to contact the DMV, formalize their legal representation, and begin getting their life back in order.
Even though a DUI will open a civil case with the California Department of Motor Vehicles, it is far more than just another traffic violation. If you have been arrested on DUI charges, you need the assistance of our DUI attorney in Monterey Park, who is well versed in California DUI law.If any of the following apply, you may be charged with a DUI. If you are:
- Over 21 years of age with a blood alcohol concentration, or BAC, of at least 0.08 percent
- Under 21 years of age with a BAC of at least 0.01 percent
- A commercial driver with a BAC of at least 0.04 percent
- Impaired due to any drugs, including those you are legally entitled to take
- Impaired due to any combination of drugs and alcohol
Our Monterey Park DUI attorney will represent you at your DMV Administrative Hearing, where you will have the opportunity to contest your license suspension and later at your criminal proceedings. With the assistance of our seasoned DUI lawyer in Monterey Park, you may be able to have your DUI charges dismissed or reduced.
DUI charges will lead to points against your license. Points can cause your insurance rates to soar, and they can even lead to license suspension. Eventually, your insurance company may cancel coverage.
A DUI conviction will also become a part of your permanent criminal record. It can affect your educational opportunities and chances at future employment. It will appear on background checks. Although there can be no guarantees in any court case, fighting the charges against with the assistance of our Monterey Park DUI lawyer is one of the best ways to reduce the odds of a DUI conviction. Our DUI attorney in Monterey Park will work to have the DUI charges against you reduced or dropped.

Measures to Follow When You Require a Monterey Park DUI Attorney
Whether we are experiencing the pathos of life or rejoicing moments, alcoholic beverages have crept into our lives. Most often, the celebrations of success, moments of romance and excitements of any of our sensual stimulation remain incomplete unless expressed by opening the cans of alcoholic beverages. The egoistic delusion of tolerating more alcohol rebound the influence. However, you should be careful that drunk-driving charge is something that you cannot afford during your stay in Monterey Park. You might have gone well beyond the permissible limits of alcohol in your blood stream due to the irresistible temptations or egoistic delusion. This makes it very important that you abide by the California State laws, particularly during the night outs.

Our team of highly experienced DUI attorneys will ensure that most appropriate defense is formulated to successfully mitigate your charges so that you can regain your life and freedom.

Cancer: The Emperor of All Maladies, based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book by Siddhartha Mukherjee, tells the complete story of cancer, from its first description in an ancient Egyptian scroll to the gleaming laboratories of modern research institutions. At six hours, the film interweaves a sweeping historical narrative; with intimate stories about contemporary patients; and an investigation into the latest scientific breakthroughs that may have brought us, at long last, to the brink of lasting cures.
The search for a "cure" for cancer is the greatest epic in the history of science, spanning centuries and continents. This episode follows that centuries-long search, but centers on the story of Sidney Farber, who, defying conventional wisdom in the late 1940s, introduces the modern era of chemotherapy, eventually galvanizing a "war on cancer." Interwoven with Farber's narrative is the contemporary story of a 14-month-old diagnosed with T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The film follows her as she and her parents struggle with the many hardships and decisions foisted upon a cancer patient
This episode picks up the story in the wake of the declaration of a "war on cancer" by Richard Nixon in 1971 and the search for a cure. In the lab, rapid progress is made in understanding the essential nature of the cancer cell, leading to the revolutionary discovery of the genetic basis of cancer, but few new therapies become available. Not until the late 1990s do advances in research begin to translate into more precise targeted therapies with breakthrough drugs. Following the history during these fraught decades, the film intertwines the contemporary story of an oncologist diagnosed with breast cancer. Her emotional and physical struggles provide a bracing counterpoint to the historical narrative.
This episode starts at a moment of optimism: Scientists believe they have cracked the mystery of the malignant cell, and the first targeted therapies have been developed. But very quickly cancer reveals new layers of complexity and a formidable array of defenses. Many call for a new focus on prevention and early detection as the most promising fronts in the war on cancer. By the second decade of the 2000s, the bewildering complexity of the cancer cell yields to a more ordered picture, revealing new vulnerabilities and avenues of attack. Perhaps most exciting is the prospect of harnessing the human immune system to defeat cancer. A 60-year-old NASCAR mechanic with melanoma and a six-year-old with leukemia are pioneers in new immunotherapy treatments, which the documentary follows as their stories unfold.

[quote style="boxed"]"Have heart. Don't give up. Never be denied."[/quote]
Daniel Wesley is the founder and CEO of CreditLoan.com, a website that educates consumers about various personal finance issues. Among some of the topics discussed are bad credit loans, credit cards, auto financing, and many other credit and financial help issues.
What are you working on right now?
I'm transitioning from a sole proprietorship to a team of nine. That basically means I'm engaged in ongoing auditing/reconciling/touching/training/mentoring everything the team has touched, along with redistributing and regurgitating SEO expertise.
Where did the idea for CreditLoan.com come from?
It came about from a "make money while you sleep" commercial and inspiration from an eBay auction in early 2003.
How do you bring ideas to life?
Collaboration is the key — having nine people counting on my vision and daily face time leads to lots of daily inspiration and revelations. It's a level of commitment that is somewhat optional, a lifestyle driven as a sole proprietor, but it's very worthwhile to develop these interpersonal relationships. That being said, I love this book: "Steal Like An Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative" by Austin Kleon.
What's one trend that really excites you?
I love the impact new startups are having in helping new webmasters, as they reduce the barrier of entry to find qualified expertise in a situational/per diem approach. Crowdsourcing is another. Leveraging the masses — it's just amazing how many tedious projects can be knocked out within minutes.
What was the worst job you ever had and what did you learn from it?
I was changing tires in Florida summer heat. You don't want to be doing this for a career (if you can help it). Work smarter, not harder!
If you were to start again, what would you do differently?
I'd probably change nothing if I could…it's the classic NASCAR analogy of starting with a race car at the back of the pack without a sponsor. Now, with all our success, we can buy or build a race car that will occupy the pole position, with DuPont as a sponsor. It's like comparing apples and oranges regarding how success can be replicated, and it's 1000 times more likely to be bigger now.
As an entrepreneur, what is the one thing you do over and over and recommend everyone else do?
Have heart. Don't give up. Never be denied.
What is one business idea that you're willing to give away to our readers?
Gosh, I honestly can't think of anything. It totally comes down to picking an idea you love and can/will be passionate about. That's self-conceptualized and such an individual decision.
Tell us a secret.
Choose a job you love, and as the old saying goes, "You will never have to work a day in your life."
What are your three favorite online tools and what do you love about them?
SEOmoz.org: It's simply SEO management made easy.
Linkresearchtools.com: It's the most advanced SEO link-building toolkit on the market.
Google Analytics: Google provides insights that matter. Measuring sales, conversions, and engagement are three of the many features offered by Google for free.
What is the one book that you recommend our community should read and why?
I'd recommend "Steve Jobs" an autobiography by Walter Isaacson. It speaks to me like George Bernard Shaw's quote: "The reasonable man adapts himself to the conditions that surround him. The unreasonable man adapts surrounding conditions to himself. All progress depends on the unreasonable man."
What's on your playlist?
I listen to Metallica and Guns N' Roses.
If you weren't working on CreditLoan.com what would you be doing?
I'd be running a startup digital marketing company in the Tampa, Fla., area.
Three people we should follow on Twitter and why?
To be honest, I avoid Twitter, mostly because it's noise. It's a distraction, and it can cause paralysis by analysis if you live and breathe what you hear. But if I had to pick three, I would say influencers like Mark Cuban, Richard Branson, and Jack Welch.
When was the last time you laughed out loud? What caused it?
I laughed out loud last week when I caught our online marketing manager humming Justin Timberlake's new song.
Who is your hero?
My hero is my grandfather, who came to the Land of Opportunity with nothing in 1969 at 45 years old, with seven kids, in the pursuit of a better life.
What is the biggest piece of advice you would give a new entrepreneur who is just starting out?
Stay optimistic. Keep your chin up. If it were easy, everyone would be doing it, right?
Since your run CreditLoan.com, what is your favorite personal finance tip?
Akin to having a yearly physical, be mindful of your financial health at least once a year. Ensure you have a "pulse" on your present-day conditions to ensure you are on a path to a comfortable retirement.

Ohio State cornerback Bradley Roby has set up a pre-draft visit with the Buffalo Bills, as conveyed by Roby to SiriusXM NFL Radio on Tuesday morning.
Ohio State CB Bradley Roby told @alexmarvez and @Gil_Brandt on @SiriusXMNFL he has pre-draft visits to #Titans, Steelers, Jets, Bills and SD
— Jim Wyatt (@jwyattsports) April 1, 2014
The news comes slightly less than a month after news broke that Roby had dinner with Bills representatives following the Ohio State pro day in early March.
A three-year starter with the Buckeyes, Roby accumulated 179 tackles, eight interceptions and 36 defended passes in that time frame. At 5'11" and 194 pounds, Roby has more than adequate size for the position, and ran a 4.39-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine in February. He is considered a day two prospect, but could sneak into Round 1. Factoring in program pedigree - Ohio State is known for its quality defensive back prospects - Roby was always going to be well-regarded by the Bills.
Roby's is the fourth name we are aware of on the Bills' pre-draft visitor list this year, joining Baylor running back Lache Seastrunk, Indiana wide receiver Cody Latimer and North Carolina tight end Eric Ebron. The Bills have not yet confirmed any of these visitors, and likely will not until the visits are in progress.

The Modular Simulation Environment (MSE) is a high-fidelity, 'immersive' patient simulation system which can be based on more-or-less any intubation or resuscitation manikin. At the heart of the system is the 'Smart Lung' ( a pneumatically-powered, computer-controlled lung) which is connected to the trachea of the manikin (Figure 8.1.)
Figure 8.1.
The 'Smart Lung' is, in turn, controlled by the MSE software and, unless respiratory depressant drugs or muscle relaxants have been administered, exhibits spontaneous respiratory activity. The trainee is able to mask-ventilate the 'Smart Lung' (via the intubation manikin) or, if the trachea has been intubated, attach the patient to any modern anaesthesia / ICU ventilator.
The trainee administers drugs and fluids via the <Therapeutic Interface> of the Main Application, and observes the patient's responses on the <Patient Monitor>. Additional information concerning the simulation scenario is provided to the trainee in the <Inspector> window.
The system supervisor controls the simulation using the Supervisor Application running on a second PC, Netbook or Mobile phone.
The simulation can be recorded using a high-resolution webcam and the in-built data recording system.
A small group of observers are able to watch the simulation on a remote, high-definition television.

Cork Boat **** by John Pollack
I'm joining Jain with my Edible Book Review at Food for Thought, a delicious blog for readers with an appetite~ for the written word and food.
This book caught my eye bobbing amid the audio selections at my library. Drawn to the title and subject of both boat & corks, which I have my own small collection of (corks, not boats :-), I found this to be a fascinating story and enjoyable listen, despite the politics cast about. John Pollack, a speech writer for former President Clinton, tires of the hypocrisy on Capital Hill and abandons ship to pursue his childhood dream of building a boat that wouldn't sink~ one built entirely out of wine corks.
In the fall of 1999, starting with corks he had saved for thirty years, he solicits his friends, family, and recruits bars and restaurants to save corks for his project~ aware that the cork-collecting opportunities on the eve of the new millennium were great.
What begins as a dream and a quirky desire, quickly becomes challenging~ requiring perseverance and his gift as a wordsmith~ to conjole and recruit friends and neighbors to join him in long nights of boat building parties, assembling corks into hexagon cell-like honeycombs, that eventually are bound, forming cork logs. His three-year project ultimately ends with a celebratory journey, where he and his boat-building-partner, sail down the Douro River in Portugal, becoming a national sensation.
"Why not build the boat? I had talked about it long enough. And in its playful, goofy absurdity, a cork boat was certainly the antithesis of everything Washington. The more I considered the project, the more it seemed the perfect antidote to my cynicism. Why not let whimsy fill my sails and carry me where it would? Over a period of several weeks, the idea took root. Although I kept my decision a secret, I vowed to leave the Hill by year's end, and start the twenty-first century a free man, captain of my own ship."
". . .I calculated that it would have to be sixty-four corks wide and ninety-six corks long, all corks positioned vertically. So the minimum, conservative, number of corks I would need, per person, was. . .6,144."
"If I needed 6,144 corks just to float at waterline, I'd need three or four times that to stay dry. And if I hoped to take others aboard. . . the numbers were mounting fast. Estimating conservatively, I'd have to figure on a boat of 60,000 corks."
"…I turned my attention from boat design to building materials, specifically cork. And I soon discovered that cork had a fascinating history in its own right. Apparently, the pharaohs of ancient Egypt were the first people to use the bark to seal jugs and bottles, and thy recorded their innovation in stone hieroglyphs. Centuries later, Greek traders used cork to close clay amphorae as they plied the stormy seas of the unknown world."
"But then, with the fall of Rome, a veil of ignorance fell over Europe, and the humble cork was forgotten. Although people still drank wine in great quantities, they sealed their jugs with oily rags, wooden plugs, and other small objects."
"It was a blind Benedictine monk, Dom Perignon, who rediscovered the cork stopper sometime in the 1660s. A vintner of great devotion, he turned to cork after becoming frustrated by traditional wood stoppers that, wrapped in oiled hemp, kept popping out of his bottles prematurely under pressure from the bubbly."
While John believed, "Every used cork had a story to tell; bringing those stories together was an inherent source of the boat's appeal"~ it became apparent they would never collect the number of corks needed for construction. They turned to California-based Cork Supply, USA, which generously donated the corks they needed. Along with the corks, donations of 15,000 rubber bands to hold the hexagons together, were made by Alliance Rubber Company.
"I was suddenly the proud owner of fifteen thousand virgin corks—perfect, cylindrical corks. Buoyant about my newfound wealth, my antipathy toward virgin corks vanished in an instant. Like a fine sherry blended from different vintages, I reasoned, the world's first cork boat would be a blend of old and new."
I took my cue for Food for Thought from a passage where they have champagne & sheet cake to celebrate the boat's completion. I made celebratory cupcakes instead, floating on a sea of corks. . .
165,321 corks. . .1 boat
Cork Supply USA sponsors a trip down the Duoro River in Portugal~ home to the largest cork-oak forests in the world. Despite some rough waters, the Cork Boat ultimately makes the journey down the river. While in Portugal, John enjoys dining on seafood:
"For the past week I had been eating exceptionally well—crispy local sardines, enormous tiger shrimp, tender grilled octopus…"
I opted for Tiger Shrimp instead sardines & octopus :-)
Since the Cork Boat volunteers & recruits ran on adrenaline, coffee & pizza~ I made Shrimp Pesto Pizza with Sun-Dried Tomatoes & Goat Cheese. . .
"Equal parts memoir, adventure story and travelogue, Cork Boat ferries the reader on an unlikely, inspiring journey from the corridors of power to the windswept gorges of northern Portugal, all aboard an absurd yet beautiful vessel. Written with unusual grace and disarming humor, Cork Boat is a buoyant tale of whimsy, adventure, and the power of imagination."
You can find Cork Boat photos from the author's website, here.

U.S. fare hikes by airlines not as bad as in 2011
The bad news for air travelers is that domestic fares have increased about 4.5% in 2012, bringing the average airline ticket to about $375.
The good news is that the increase has been modest compared with 2011, when fares jumped 8.3%. Even better news, industry analysts predict air fares will rise even less in 2013.
But before you pop the cork on the champagne, know that industry experts warn fares could still soar in the last two months of this year.
In fact, Southwest Airlines, the nation's largest carrier of domestic passengers, raised domestic prices last week $4 to $10 per round trip, depending on the route. It was a hike matched by all the major U.S.-based carriers.
The increase was the 14th price boost in 2012, half of which were matched by all the major airlines and half of which were rescinded after few, if any, airlines went along with the hike.
"At the moment, it's impossible to say if 2012 will see more airfare hikes but don't bet against it — not if history is any guide," said Anne McDermott, editor at airfare news website FareCompare.
The average domestic fare for September was $375.35, according to the Airline Reporting Corp., the Arlington, Va., company that manages payments for tickets between travel agents and airlines.
A forecast released last week by American Express Global Business Travel predicted airfares in North American would rise 1% to 4% in 2013, depending on the airline seat and the length of the flight.
Video: Airline seats are getting tighter
An earlier forecast by business travel management company Carlson Wagonlit Travel came up with a similar conclusion — a rise of 2.8% for the year.
"While the economies of the United States and Canada are experiencing slow and steady improvement, there is no major growth expected in the foreseeable future, which will help contain travel price increases in 2013 for most categories," the Carlson forecast said .
American Airlines offering meal reservations
Chicken or fish.
Only a few years ago, that was the only choice of reheated meals you were given when you flew in a first-class seat.
But now airlines are tapping celebrity chefs such as Suzanne Goin by Singapore Airlines, Michelle Bernstein by Delta Airlines and Sam Choy by American Airlines to cook up the kind of meals you don't expect at 30,000 feet.
American Airlines announced last week that it was going a step further by letting first- and business-class passengers review and reserve their in-flight meal via the airline's website. You get to choose from among two or three entrees — the same choices you get when you board the plane.
The advantage of the program, according to the airline, is that you are guaranteed the meal you ordered and are not stuck with whatever food is left when the flight attendant gets around to serving your row.
"This means you are assured to get the meal you ordered," spokesman Allan Phillips said.
American, which is not charging an extra fee for the service, says it is the first domestic airline to offer the option.
The meal reservation option is already available for flights between Los Angeles International Airport and John F. Kennedy International Airport, among a few other routes. The service will be expanded Nov. 15 to flights between San Francisco International Airport and JFK and Los Angeles and O'Hare International Airport, among others.
Improvements pay off at Red Roof Inn
Give the people what they want. That was the sentiment behind a $120-million redesign effort launched last year by Red Roof Inn at nearly 121 hotels across the country.
The hotel improvements were made based on comments the Columbus, Ohio, hotel chain received from thousands of guests staying in hotels in Texas, Georgia and Ohio.
And it appears that the upgrades have been a success.
The hotels that got the face lifts have seen a 10.6% increase in sales, compared with a 6% increase among all 350 hotels in the chain, according to Red Roof Inn.
Based on the earlier guest comments, the hotel chain replaced in-room carpeting with hardwood floors, swapped out Formica counter tops with granite and added outlets above the nightstand, among other improvements. Such upgrades have been made at Red Roof Inn hotels in San Diego, San Francisco and Sacramento.
Red Roof Inn President Andy Alexander said feedback from guests suggests that the granite countertops and the hardwood floors give the room a cleaner smell.
"If it smells cleaner, it probably is cleaner," he said.

When it comes to Assassin's Creed III's protagonist Connor, we know the basics. He's a half-Native-American, half-European male who gets himself wrapped up in the Revolutionary War. We also know, because of the series' story, that he's an ancestor of Desmond Miles, and that he's an Assassin. That development of that last part, as well as some other details, have been revealed in a new trailer from Ubisoft.
Titled "An Assassin's Journey," the latest trailer gives fans a glimpse of the new hero's life leading up to the events of Assassin's Creed III. It's a sure bet that this information will be expanded on in the game, but for now, it's nice to have a small morsel of what promises to be a compelling, complex story of American history and clashing cultures. It's a short (unsurprisingly beautiful) video, so I won't spoil the rest of it. Give it a watch!
[youtube id="3oYtCAsqQ2g" width="620″ height="360″]
Assassin's Creed III will be available October 30 on PS3, Xbox 360, PC, and November 18 for the Wii U.

These two! Pregnant Gigi Hadid shared a rare selfie with Zayn Malik via Instagram on Friday, July 31 — and it was quite steamy.
Everything Gigi and Her Family Have Said About Her Pregnancy
The model — who is expecting her first child with the musician — leaned in for a passionate kiss while staying in amid the pandemic. "baby daddy," she gushed in the caption alongside a smiley face.
"Gigi and Zayn are so great for each other and balance each other out," a source exclusively tells Us Weekly. "Her pregnancy has brought them even closer together as a couple."
Hadid, 25, confirmed she is pregnant during The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on April 30. "Obviously, we wish we could've announced it on our own terms, but we're very excited and happy and grateful for everyone's well wishes and support," she said at the time. That same month, Us Weekly confirmed they are expecting a baby girl.
"She and Zayn are so in love," a source told Us at the time. "She's always wanted to start a family with Zayn."
Hadid opened up about wanting to become a mom in February. "I think that as I get older — well, one day I'll start a family. I don't know if I will always be modeling," she told i-D magazine for its cover story. "I love the creative side of fashion, it's so fulfilling. The people I work with make me so happy, I'm so lucky to be around them. But who knows? Maybe I'll take up full-time cooking!"
Hadid showed off her bare baby bump for the first time during an Instagram Live on July 15.
"Everyone's like, 'Oh, you didn't look pregnant in your jumpsuit on your last Live.' That's because this way [facing front] I'm gonna look normally how I look in this [outfit]," she explained. "The reason I said it's a different story is, like, there's my belly, y'all. Like, it's there. From the front, it's different, you know what I mean?"

She added: "I'm just taking my time with sharing my pregnancy, and you guys will see it when you see it. Right now I just want to experience it, and I just don't wanna worry about waking up every day during my pregnancy and worry about having to look cute or post something."
Hadid and the former One Direction singer, 27, have been dating on and off since 2015. They split in March 2018 after more than two years together, but Us confirmed this past January that they were officially back on.

Once more the opium bonds of self-flattering love longings,
the chattering brain of romantic fixation,
the neurotic repetitive stroking turns soft spots to craters,
making clues out of clay then pretending to find them while combing the newsprint grey lint piles of searchlight blasted daydream reconstructions,
each day a perpetual one-woman gloaming.
The retreat into imperative needs to change into something else first, musty boudoir months ensue full of sateen-muffled perplexity and interim measures.
I spend another weekend choking in my attic life on dusty absolutes, chalk-marking what I must hold in reserve until I have her.
Preparing for the big move, I have some problems, I have other problems in storage. What I have left to hold in reserve until I have her though is alarmingly little.
Impulse buying all those looks on her face I've spent most of my revelations.
|The branching off into solitary homosexuality and the watering
of the desert that occurs as a result,
the seasonal nature of creekbed formation, the long dry spells broken by rare flash flood conditions that alter the landscape of memory but not the issue of drought.
