COBIT is a framework for developing, implementing, monitoring and improving information technology (IT) governance and management practices. The COBIT framework is published by the IT Governance Institute and the Information Systems Audit and Control Association (ISACA).
The goal of the COBIT framework is to provide a common language for business executives to communicate with each other about goals, objectives and results. The original version, which was published in 1996, focused largely on auditing. The fifth version, which published in 2012, emphasizes the value that information governance can provide to a business' success. It also offers quite a bit of advice about enterprise risk management.
COBIT 5 provides enterprise-level businesses with frameworks, process descriptions, control objectives, management guidelines and maturity models to help administrators build, monitor and improve its implementation. The name COBIT originally stood for "Control Objectives for Information and Related Technology," but the spelled-out version of the name was dropped in favor of the acronym in the fifth iteration of the framework.
COBIT 5 is based on five key principles for governance and management of enterprise IT:
Principle 1: Meeting Stakeholder Needs
Principle 2: Covering the Enterprise End-to-End
Principle 3: Applying a Single, Integrated Framework
Principle 4: Enabling a Holistic Approach
Principle 5: Separating Governance from Management
To be certified in COBIT 5, a candidate must complete an approved COBIT 5 assessor training program, pass two COBIT examinations and have five or more years of relevant work experience.

Whether young or old, planning for the future or an untimely death is an important matter. Although it is often something one does not like to think about, it is something that should not be put off. Drafting documents for an estate plan can take place at any age or any point in a person's life.
Don't wait until it's too late to set up a medical care directive
People in California may have seen a compelling news article about a recent survey of physicians and how they would choose to handle their end-of-life decisions. Perhaps surprisingly, many of those surveyed reported that they would not want medical caretakers to take extensive life-prolonging measures. Of those surveyed, 95% said they would not want CPR, over 85% said they would not want a ventilator and at least 75% said they would not want a feeding tube.
When children have to step up to protect parents' assets
Many people may choose to live, work and retire in California because it offers a high quality of life for people in every age group. Many senior citizens are happy to call California home, and spend their retirement years basking in the warm, temperate climate. There may come a time, though, when seniors need some help financially, and often this burden falls on their children. Perhaps even more difficult, though, is the situation that often occurs when seniors need someone to help them manage their own finances.
Google releases tools for digital afterlife management
Readers of the blog here in California may have noticed some entries regarding the growing concern about what happens to a person's online digital content after they die. Most people in the digital age have at least some measure of information online, which may include things like social media accounts, picture-sharing programs and even things like online accounts with certain financial and retail entities.
Power of attorney can help with late-life decisions
Many readers here in California may be fans of recording artist Amy Grant. Of course, like any famous singer, Grant carries on much of her life outside of the public eye. In a recent article, the singer opened up about her parents' life as they reached old age and its effect on her. Within the story is a fantastic representation of how proper estate planning -- including power of attorney -- can help families come together despite what can be a challenging end.
Mother, wife of missing millionaire fight for control of estate
California residents may have seen the news that a multi-millionaire went missing last week under mysterious circumstances. Now the fallout over the man's disappearance seems to be coming to a head, as his wife and mother wrestle over control of the man's numerous business interests, assets and property. The man vanished last week after embarking on his fishing boat, which later washed up on a Fort Lauderdale beach.
Thomas Kinkade estate controversy proceeds in probate court
The controversy surrounding the estate of painter Thomas Kinkade, including his palatial mansion in Monte Sereno, California, will continue as the court begins probate proceedings early next month. Among the issues at the heart of the controversy are the validity of claims made by Kinkade's live-in girlfriend and the documents that she claims express Kinkade's desires for the division of his property. The case provides for excellent celebrity drama, but also serves as a cautionary tale for those who may not recognize the advantages of avoiding probate.
Wallace's death shows importance of designating power of attorney
Mike Wallace entered the living rooms of many Sacramento, California, homes for nearly six decades until his retirement in 2006. The journalist will always be remembered for asking the tough questions at the right time. Most recently, however, the "60 Minutes" anchor passed away at the age of 93. News of Wallace's health in his final days is a strong reminder for individuals to establish durable power of attorney in a timely fashion.
Estate planning essential for single parents in California
One of the primary goals of an estate plan is to take care of your family in the event of your death. It is not often pleasant to reflect on those circumstances, but it is a reality that all of us will necessarily face at one time. The best course of action, therefore, is to address potential problems and solve them using the legal tools available.
Soul singer Etta James dies in California hospital
Legendary singer Etta James passed away on January 20, 2012, as she succumbed to complications due to leukemia. The world renowned singer--famous for songs such as "At Last" and "I'd Rather go Blind"--died at a Riverside, California hospital with her husband and two sons at her side.

By , Scott Bestul
Published November 17, 2017
The phrase "buck of a lifetime" gets tossed around quite a bit and means different things for different hunters. But it's safe to say that most of us will spend the bulk of our hunting careers only dreaming about taking one.
Last month, Illinois bowhunter Don Higgins, co-owner of Real World Wildlife Products, tagged not one, but two such bucks — totaling just shy of 400 inches of antler. And he did it not just in a single lifetime, or a single season, but in a single week.
Higgins' feat was no lightning strike, either. He knew both deer well and had a plan designed for hunting each of them. Here's his amazing story.
The primary focus of Higgins' 2017 season was a buck he called Smokey, a 6-1/2-year-old whitetail he'd literally watched grow up. "I had a dream to raise and hunt a 200-inch buck on my home farm," Higgins says. "I'd watched some really nice bucks here over the years, but Smokey — who I'd known about since he was 2-1/2 years old — was the only buck who had that potential."
"Smokey was a relaxed deer that wasn't afraid to move in daylight," Higgins says. "I think that was partly due to his personality, but also because of the way I hunt my farm. I basically hunt only the fringes under perfect conditions. I give the center of the farm to the deer. So they don't feel a lot of pressure."
As someone who makes his living producing and selling whitetail nutritional products, Higgins knows a thing or two about the kind of habitat and food that deer need. "I knew Smokey had some amazing potential when he made a huge jump in antler growth from a 130-inch buck at 2-1/2 to close to 170 at 3-1/2 years old."
Smoky loved to bed in these tall-grass bedding fields I create with a native grass-seed mix we call Bedding in a Bag. Years of watching bucks on my farm has taught me that some bucks like to bed in the timber, and others like the grass. Smokey was definitely in the latter group. The spring after he was 4-1/2, we were doing a controlled burn on one of my tall grass fields when the guys who were helping me found the buck's matched set of sheds. They'd been scorched by the fire a bit, so that led to his nickname, Smokey."
"In 2016, Smokey was 5-1/2 years old and just huge. I actually passed him five different times that fall, and I filmed one of those encounters. He walked right under my stand, and I can tell you, when he went past me and walked away, it was something to see. I've showed that footage to people, and they've all said I was crazy. But I felt confident he'd push 200 the next fall. That spring I picked up both sheds, and he would have been over 180 inches.
"As the fall of 2017 approached I was worried. We had zero rain in August and September, and the deer on my farm — including Smokey — were really hitting one waterhole hard. So I was very concerned about [Epizootic hemorrhagic disease], and the thought of losing him after all that time was scary. Luckily EHD missed us, Smokey was even bigger, and as we got close to opening day I was pretty excited."
"I knew Smokey so well that I put my odds of killing him at close to 90 percent. I planned to hunt him from an elevated blind that sits at the junction of five habitats: a farm field, a stand of evergreens, a hardwood thicket, a bedding grass field, and a food plot planted in our Deadly Dozen. On a northwest wind, I can access and exit that blind without bumping a deer. The first night I had that wind I didn't see him. The second night he came out of his bedding grass but walked the other way. But the third night, Oct. 15, it was like everything was scripted: I watched him come out of the grass, hit the food plot, and feed to within 25 yards."
"I made a good shot, and Smokey ran out to about 80 yards, turned to look back, and tipped over. I could have walked right up to him but instead I walked straight away, got on my phone, and called my dad. I'd had a plan since summer that he would be with me when I put my hands on Smokey. Dad is my No. 1 fan. He wasn't a hunter but he'd take vacation time to take me out as a kid, and he helped me drag out the first buck I ever killed. It was pretty incredible to walk up to Smokey and have Dad with me to enjoy that amazing moment."
The buck grossed 206-6/8 inches. But Higgins wasn't done. He'd had another monster buck on his mind for several seasons, and Illinois allows bowhunters two bucks per season. "But this second deer, a buck I called Trump, was the total opposite of Smokey," Higgins says. "He lived out in the middle of nothing — just a brushy fence line between corn and bean fields. Last fall I spotted a huge buck out in that same spot and later a trail cam I have there got his picture. I immediately went back through my log of that camera location and realized I'd been getting that buck's photo every year since he was 2-1/2 years old.
"So I started analyzing all my photos of him. Not only was Trump really unpredictable, but he also had a big range. By the end of last fall, I had pictures of him on eight different cameras. During the rut, I got a picture of him on one camera, and 17 hours later he was on another camera three miles away. I decided it made no sense to chase him all over. So I went back to that original brushy fenceline, hung two stands, and decided I'd just hunt him from those. While I went into the season thinking my odds on Smokey were 90 percent, I figured my odds at Trump were about 1 percent."
"I knew it would be boring waiting for Trump, but it proved even tougher than I thought. I'd set up on him nine different times since the archery opener and not only did I not see him; I never saw another deer, or coyote, or squirrel, or even a tweety bird. I wasn't even a touch optimistic when I went out for my tenth try at Trump, on Oct. 19. But it was a really calm evening, and I suddenly heard stalks rustling in the standing corn nearby. I stood and picked up my bow — and Trump walked out of that corn like he'd been doing it every night of his life. It was the first time I'd ever laid eyes on him."
"Trump walked out of the corn, turned toward me and came right in. When he turned broadside I took the shot. It wasn't the hit I'd hoped for, but he ran 100 yards into some standing beans and laid down. I could just see him, so I kept glassing. Suddenly another buck came out of the standing corn and walked over to him. Trump stood up and walked back into the corn. I snuck out and back to the road, and then called my wife and my business partner, Kevin Boyer. When I told them I'd shot the buck, I don't think either of them believed me at first."
Higgins decided to wait overnight, and returned with Boyer and a blood-trailing dog. "The buck had made it out of the corn field and into a creekbed, but died shortly after that. Kevin found him first, and yelled for me. Honestly it was like a dream walking up on that deer. I had my hands on the antlers of a buck I had seen only one time — the same the day I was able to shoot him."
Trump grossed 193 inches, which meant that Higgins had taken two bucks in five days that together totaled just shy of 400 inches of antler.

To liberals, facts are determined by consensus. Unless of course the majority opinion is the wrong opinion.
I guess their propaganda isn't working like it's supposed to. I'm sure what they were expecting or at least wanting to find out that the "science-deniers" are just a fringe element in America; a meaningless minority of religious extremists.
Unfortunately for them, that's not what they found. But because they always have ways of spinning things, what we also find out from their study is that this majority are "uneducated" and Republican. United Press International reported:
A new poll offers details on the way citizens of the world think about climate change, and U.S. participants are looking particularly ignorant to the risks of global warming. Only one in four Americans said climate change was a "major threat," making the U.S. the least concerned nation.
The "Global Attitudes Project" poll, conducted by Pew Research, found that some 54 percent of Canadians are worried about the impacts of global warming.
The poll is making headlines at about the same time a new study revealed Republicans — who likely make up a significant portion of the 60 percent of Americans who don't consider climate change a major threat — tend to Google "global warming" and "climate change" during severe or strange weather.
"Different types of people experience weather differently or have different perceptions about what type of weather defines climate change," said Corey Lang, an economist at the University of Rhode Island and lead author of the new study on Google climate change search trends.
In analyzing Google search trends, and comparing those results with weather data, Lang was able to show that Republicans and people from less-educated geographical areas searched for climate-change-related terms during extreme weather — long hot, dry spells or unusually cold stretches.
On the other hand, Democrats and people from well-educated localities were more likely to search for these terms when weather was relatively normal.
Lang's research was published last week in the journal Climatic Change.
So, Republicans are the uneducated people, and Democrats are educated, as evidenced by the fact that Republicans Google "global warming" when the weather is unseasonably cool. And intelligent Democrats only Google it when the weather is normal. Because everyone knows that the local weather has nothing to do with global climate change. Only an idiot would think that unseasonably cool weather would be an indication that global warming is hype.
Educated Democrats never try to make any kind of connection between local weather patterns and global warming claims. Like when they talk about local floods, hurricanes, hot and dry weather, earthquakes, cold weather, good weather, bad weather, melting glaciers, growing glaciers, cloudy days, sunny days, Chicago violence, Middle East wars, etc. You know, all the (local) things that they use as "evidence" of global warming. When they do it, it shows how smart they are. When we do it, it shows how dumb we are.

In-House Audio/Visual Production vs. Third-Party Audio/Visual Production
Event planners are frequently told by the in-house audio-visual company at a venue that in-house AV is the only option for their audio-visual needs. They may also be told that a third-party production company is too costly or won't be familiar with the venue. This is quite often false, but with our side-by-side comparison, you can choose the option that is correct for your event needs.
In house Audio-Visual Company
More Expensive
In-House AV companies are potentially more expensive due to the price they need to pay the hotel in order to work there. This additional overhead is passed along to the client as a service charge and can be 25-30%% of the cost of using the AV company.
Unnecessary Bargaining
In-house AV companies have control over the venue's WiFi and will also tend to use WiFi as a bargaining chip, holding internet access hostage in order to compel an event planner to select them for their Audio-Visual needs. While this may have worked in the past, there are now solutions to circumvent a venue's internet and not be reliant upon it.
Lack of Design Experience
In-House AV companies also don't always have the design experience a production company should have, thereby leading to a cookie cutter AV design. Using a third-party production company allows the client to have a team of designers that bring value by visually expressing their organization's concept or design.
Third-Party Production Company
Save Money and Add Value
A third-party production company is potentially less expensive with less overhead. This is because a third-party production company doesn't need to pay the hotel fees in order to maintain an office there. The sole focus is creating a budget that brings value to the client, not creating an expansive budget to cover costs associated with being an in-house company.
Discover New Options
As I have already stated, the dependence upon venue WiFi is slowly becoming a thing of the past with new developments in event technology such as FestiFi. Using a solution such as them, one doesn't need to be committed to in-house AV only for the WiFi.
Design Expertise
A third-party production company with a team of designers will also be more creative. Some companies, such as EPI, even ensure their technicians have backgrounds in design so they are able to customize your event to the maximum with an eye for aesthetics. You will never get the same show that another organization had.

Help !!!! I've just moved in with my partner and tried to connect my PC to hers through a wireless connection , but it is not picking up the dongle . My PC used to be a dial up connection as no cable were i lived.
P.S.sorry i'm not a expert ( gross under statement)
If you have a highspeed internet connection and it's presently plugged directly into your partner's computer from the modem I would recommend you purchase a SOHO Router (SOHO = small office/home office).
If you plug the internet into it then both you and her could plug into the router's LAN ports (get one with 4 LAN ports) or connect wirelessly (get a wireless capable SOHO Router).
It matters not how straight the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate;
I am the captain of my soul.

In the run up to the end of term, things get fairly frenetic in the school and in the library as work such as folios and dissertations to be submitted for the qualifications are in the final stages of being produced. Computers are available in the library and S5 pupils who have study in the library use them on a regular basis. They are available to S6 pupils, but uptake is maybe not so good – remember folks, they are there for you to use. If a class hasn't got them booked, they are available!
It must be emphasised, that although the library is a busy active place at lunchtimes, space for work is available in the Upper Library (let the librarian, Mrs S, know you want to use it) and, most importantly, if pupils need a computer for work at this time – they will get a computer if available. School work ALWAYS gets priority over the leisure use.
Monday started off quiet with a couple of English classes in for library period (book exchange and reading) and a bit of computer use. An S2 PSE class was also in using the Upper Library, careers section and laptops to research Career and subject choice. Most of the work is moving to online, using My World of Work and pupils should now be registered on this site which is used both by the school and Skills Development Scotland for careers work. Pupils, though have been advised, as in the case of any research, to have a look at different sources of information and not to rely on just the one. There are further links to Careers information and other subject related links on the LibLinks section of the Blog.
Lunchtime on Monday saw a depleted miniature painting club, however, this would have been in part to the library consultation with lunchtime users, led by the Head Teacher, which took place in the library. We were looking at: What does a school library do? What does ours do well? How could we improve it?
It has to be noted that the miniature painting competition has been extended until after the Easter holidays. The trophy donated by porfessional mini painter, Michael Mordor, has now arrived in the school. Michael will also be judging this competition (via photographs of completed minis).
Tuesday was as busy as it has been for a few weeks, although only 6 periods out of the 7 were booked by classes this time. Chess club also ran at lunchtime.
Adavanced Higher PE have a regular booking for computers in the morning. S3 English came in for a library period which also included giving them a chance to work on computers to get on with folios. Another PSE class used the Upper Library. In the afternoon S4 RME were in looking at the moral issues surrounding abortion. Library PCs and laptops were used, as well as some book resources. There was productive discussion around this controversial issue.
The highlight of the day was another 'innovative' lesson (Last week it was Mrs Hunter's class) where Miss Grieve's 4R English used the library to work on their board games they had devised to help them remember quotations from Macbeth. Some pupils also worked on their folio pieces.
The after-school D&D group met as usual where the adventuring party have returned to The Sunless Citadel. This time one of the PCs entered a room without properly checking it and was subsequently set upon by giant rats – which they all dispatched fairly quickly. They just now need to search for the possible treasure.
It should be noted that computers, and the Upper Library are also available for study, research, and homework on Tuesdays after school, and Mrs Thomson is available for giving support in your studies.
Wednesday morning proved busy with two S4 English classes in period 1. One to use the computers for folio work or to do revision (periods 1 & 2), the other for [part of] a library period. 1R came in for a library period. Most read and a handful did book quizzes on the computer. The final S2 PSE class of the term came in in the afternoon to finish off their work on careers and subject choice.
Thursday was a tad quieter, but felt no less busy due to the amount of library admin work, which has been ongoing all week – the shelving, shelf tidying, and the processing, classification & cataloguing of new stock, and book covering. The processing had been helped in part by an S3 pupil, on Wednesday morning as he glued the date labels into a pile of new books.
The Auxiliaries were shown how to use ALICE, the Library Management System to issue and return books. This will mean that if the Librarian, is off ill, away on courses or school trips, some semblance of a library service can still be offered.
Lunchtime saw the weekly Luncheon & Dragons group play a short game. Mrs S continues to lead the players through an underground complex as they try to find the Forge of Fury for treasures untold. This week they managed to dispatch two nasty Orcs and found a couple of prisoners, whom they still need to rescue.
In the afternoon, Mrs S headed to The Orkney Library & Archive in Kirkwall to have a meeting with Principal Librarian and the Children's Librarian. This allows for professional liaison as well as the Orkney Library acting as a school's library service, when we need to boost our stock, in particular for the major research projects, for instance in Geography and History.
Friday started in a relaxed manner with 2T English coming in for a library period. There was a brief discussion with a History/RME teacher about upcoming requirements. Later we are expecting an RME class in who are also researching abortion in terms of 'pro-life' / 'pro-choice'. The day will finish up with the weekly activities session where 20 pupils play Role Playing Games. A small group plays Magic the Gathering, but the majority, split into 3 groups play Dungeons & Dragons. D&D continues to prove very popular, and albeit a leisure activity, many elements link to a number of Curriculum for Excellence outcomes across Literacy, Numeracy, and Health & Wellbeing. More info here (also tells you about the game and what is involved).
In the morning, before classes started, we had an unusual sight – S1 pupils asked if they could do some filming for History – something to do with Scottish King, Alexander III and succession. The next thing I saw were crowns and cloaks coming out. The ensuing photograph, though was a bit blurry.
Thus, a long week, made longer by thinking Wednesday was Thursday, is nearly over. Mrs S uses usually uses Friday to have a general tidy up, including some shelves, getting some shelving done, or writing a blog post. There are some books needing checked on the catalogue, but they can wait until next week. Shelving and shelf tidying here we come, in preparation for a stock take during the Easter Holidays.
Have a good weekend, and remember the clocks go forward early Sunday morning!

An area high school is the focus of two police investigations.
Kerrville Police told KENS 5 that two Tivy High School teachers are accused of having improper relationships with students.
Investigators are releasing very few details about the separate cases.
No one from Kerrville ISD would agree to an interview with KENS 5, but verified the authenticity of a letter we received from a viewer that came from Kerrville ISD.
The school district's Superintendent, Dr. Mark J. Foust, sent home the letter to parents letting them know the two teachers are on indefinite administrative leave due to separate and unrelated allegations of improper teacher/student relationships at Tivy High School.
The letter went on to say, "The safety and well-being of our students is our first and most important priority. These allegations are of behaviors that will not be tolerated in our school district and that are not indicative of our faculty and staff."
Kerrville Police say the first complaint that sparked this investigation came in last Thursday.
"We got the first one, started it, then we received information of a second completely separate allegation and then started that investigation," said Lt. Mary Krebs, Kerrville Police Department.
Authorities won't say if the relationships were believed to be sexual in nature, ongoing, or one time encounters.
"At this time we can tell you they are isolated incidents and there are no threats to any students at the high school," said Krebs.
Police say parents should know these allegations are being taken seriously.
"We have some outstanding investigators and we will get to the bottom of this," said Krebs.
Police have not released the teachers names because they have not been charged with any crimes at this time.

Traveling With Baby
I am going to visit family for Easter, but it involves about a 9 hour car drive. I am soooooooooo nervous to take my 5 week old baby in a car that long. We wanted to break the trip into 2 days, but due to other people traveling with us we are going to try and make it in one very long day. Do any of you have tips for traveling with a baby? Any would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I think you'll do fine, especially since your baby is so young. Long car rides are notorious for lulling babies to sleep. The only thing I would say is to make sure you stop whenever the baby appears hungry (about every 3 hours) and feed him/her. Also I would make sure to let the baby stretch a little, so he/she doesn't get too uncomfortable in the same position for 9 hours. Drive safe and have a Happy Easter! :o)
WOW! You are more brave that I! My inlaws live 12 hours away and I told them to expect us at least until July and that will be if the doc says we can fly. Please let us know how it goes! I'm very interested. My dd is only 3 weeks old and they are coming here for Easter! I'm already nervous about the car ride next winter for the holidays I can't imagine so soon!
I have been doing 5 hour drives probably once a month sinse my 7 month old has been born. Its a lot shorter than 9 hours, but I found it helped to keep him cool and confortable, have a thin blanket, use one of hte head inserts for him so his head doesnt flop around, and give yourself at least 2 extra hours. I found at that age my babe would sleep pretty well in the car. Have a bottle ready so if you do not want to stop, you can just feed him in the carseat. We are travelling by plane tomorrow...not looking forward to it. Keeping seven month old occupied is nearly impossible.
My husband and I just took our 16 week old for her first long trip - 4 hours! I know it's not 9 hours, but I was still nervous! I needn't have worried, she basically slept the entire time and we only stopped once to feed and change her. One thing that I will suggest is to have some sort of 'sun shade' in the car. Our dd gets very upset if the sun is in her eyes and the special shades that we stuck on the windows don't block the light out enough for her. We rigged up a 'shade' over her car seat using a big muslin wrap, it worked a treat and I think it made her feel more cosy. Good luck!!!
Not to worry. When my son was only 3 weeks old we drove from New Mexico to Minnesota in two days pulling a travel trailer. A week later we trecked 12 hours to MI for a wedding and did that in one stretch. My son is 10 months old now and we just got back from Texas in one long stretch and it was definintely easier traveling with him when he was a few weeks old. I was b___stfeeding at the time and didn't want to stop for 20-40 minutes to feed so I pumped with the battery powered pump in the back seat while my dh drove, put it in a cooler with ice packs and when he started to get hungry (or I thought enough time had gone by) I would stick the bottle in the cigarette lighter powered bottle heater. At gas stations I changed him, he drank a bottle right down, burped him, stuck him back in the seat and we were on our way. He slept through most of it. You'll be fine.

Many of my favourite blog-sewers have recommended this top and now I know why. It's very fast and fits really nicely and it also comes in tunic and dress lengths. I can't wait to make another one in dress length next. I've had the pattern since last fall but was finally motivated by this one to get going and give it a try - I was also, most likely looking for a diversion from the other things on my sewing list - like a grad dress, curtains, quilty pants and a pair of room shoes for a friend... guess I better go and get those done!

Hi there... I've been trying to find this pattern everywhere and can't find it. Can you tell me where you were able to find it? Thanks! Awesome top, by the way!

I didn't realize it was hard to find but you are right, I can't find it on line. I picked it up while visiting Portland Or at Fabric Depot. Sorry I'm not much help!

Lil Pump: Rapper labelled 'racist' over song- December 18, 2018
US-Colombian rapper Lil Pump has been accused of racism after he teased a new song which uses a derogatory term.
In the song's lyrics, Pump says "they call me [Chinese basketball player] Yao Ming because my eyes real low" before adding the phrase "ching chong".
In a video posted to his 17.4 million Instagram followers teasing the song, Pump pulls back his eyes as he mimes to the lyrics.
Lil Pump rose to international prominence in 2017 with his song Gucci Gang, which has been viewed over 847 million times on YouTube.
The rapper has faced a backlash on social media, with Chinese users flooding his Instagram posts with comments calling him "racist" and "disgusting".
Meanwhile on Chinese social media site Sina Weibo, thousands of users have added their voices to the criticism, with many posting screen grabs to prove they have reported Pump for inappropriate content on Twitter and Instagram.
Others have said that Pump "needs teaching some respect", with some posting memes criticizing anyone who says they like the song.
The reaction in China has not merely been confined to the written word, with some taking things a step further and bringing their anger into the recording booth.
This has led to the creation of several "diss tracks" criticizing Pump.
In one of the most popular of these songs, singer J. Cole says: "I don't care about Lil Pump doing squinty eyes, I'm just worried that you… have closed eyes."
"That insult doesn't hurt," he raps, "but it influences his business. I don't want to be angry with the next generation, I hope you can understand he's just an idiot."

Organ Scholarships at Christ's
An organ scholarship at Christ's College can be a wonderful opportunity for organists who want to continue playing to a high standard and receive coaching and conducting training from experts. The commitment at Christ's is easily combined with non-musical study and also allows for involvement in many other University activities such as sport or theatre, and provides the opportunity to work with a choir of a high standard in a role of responsibility.
To get in touch with Nicholas, Tom or James please contact the choir administrator, Simon Fraser at email@example.com. They can be available for weddings, christenings and other events and are happy to answer queries from potential applicants.
Organ Scholar: Nicholas Edwards
Nicholas is a first-year MML student, studying German and Russian.
He began playing the organ at the age of 13, taking lessons with Philip Scriven. In 2013, he joined the Royal Grammar School, Guildford as the King's Music Scholar, where he was actively involved in musical life, playing piano and clarinet in addition to the organ, as well as singing. During his time at the RGS, he studied the organ with Joseph McHardy. He has accompanied the school chamber choir (jointly with the choir of Guildford High School) in evensongs, including at St Paul's Cathedral. Nicholas was awarded first prize in the senior category of the London Organ Competition in 2017.
Besides music, he enjoys sport, particularly playing and following football.
About the position: Jonathan Ellse, Organ Scholar 2012-2016, says:
"Being an organ scholar at Christ's has been great fun – I've found it a great break from studying Maths and a really enjoyable and high quality musical experience too. We're fortunate to have an enthusiastic Director of Music, who manages to get through large quantities of music at a very high standard whilst maintaining a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. He ordinarily conducts most (but not all) of the twice-weekly term time services. This means that the organ scholars get to focus initially on playing, whilst honing their conducting skills when he is away. It's a nice balance between having enough time to get through degree work, time for practising and opportunity to hone conducting and directing skills. Whilst the time commitment is relatively low with only two services per week, the choir is still of a very high standard, sight-reading through 8-part works with ease.
The organ at Christ's is not the largest in Cambridge, but it is really well balanced for the space and incredibly flexible. Whilst most suited to Baroque repertoire, the addition of a balanced swell recently has made it at home in any style, for accompanying or solo work. The choir sings a range of music right through from Byrd to Britten and Howells and later, and the organ is easily up to the job of accompanying them. The variety of music performed is a big plus. Outside term, we sing a couple of larger works over the course of the year, for example Mozart's Requiem and Bach's St. John Passion. We also do a series of Christmas concerts at London venues and stately homes.
Christ's has also built up a reputation in Cambridge for the quality of its international tours. Every summer, we go away for around three weeks to some far-flung (and otherwise unobtainable) place, travelling and singing concerts in each location, whilst managing to fit in some sight-seeing too. In my three years, we've been to the USA, Canada, Singapore and New Zealand. It's a particularly good experience for the organ scholars – we spend the first part of the tour accompanying the choir and familiarising ourselves with the music under the direction of the Director of Music, before taking control of the musical side of things when he leaves. There's an organ solo in most of the concerts, so we get a chance to try out some bigger works on some fantastic and world-renowned instruments. It's heavily subsidised too, making it a really cheap holiday! The organ scholars don't have to do the organising of the tours either, so it's more relaxed than elsewhere.
As for provision of the organ scholars in Christ's, the organ scholars' rooms are luxurious, being furnished with a practice organ and a piano. Christ's as a college is really supportive of its musicians and goes out of its way to make life manageable for them. I've always found the college authorities as well as the Director of Music friendly, supportive and open to suggestions, which has made it a great place to be."

Emergency crews respond to chemical leak on MU campus
COLUMBIA - Emergency crews responded to a chemical leak that caused an evacuation on the University of Missouri campus late Thursday evening.
The Columbia Fire Department said a canister of Methylimidazole, which is used to breed plants, leaked inside the Sears Plant Growth Facility off Hitt Street.
Two researchers were inside the building at the time, according to Christian Basi with the MU News Bureau. Basi said they were treated on site.
MU News Bureau said there were no injuries, but the two receiving treatment were being sanitized to fulfill all safety precautions.
Only a small amount of Methylimidazole was involved in the spill, according to the MU News Bureau.
Crews initially responded Thursday evening around 7:50 and blocked traffic between University and Rollins Streets.

About the Author
As Manny Scott travels the world speaking to students and educators, he meets young people whose stories sound a lot like his own—a childhood that was marked by poverty, instability, violence, and despair until a few caring educators showed him how to find meaning in the classroom and gave him a glimpse of his own possibilities. So many kids he meets today need this kind of hope and practical assistance. But with all that is already on educators' plates, what can an individual teacher do to help traumatized children believe in themselves, succeed in school, and graduate prepared for work and life?
Here, you'll find answers. With the same passion that inspires so many who hear him speak, Scott presents an approach informed by the teachers who helped him and honed through years of connecting with kids who desperately need someone to show them a path to a more positive future. He shares the little things you can do to prepare yourself for the hard work of making a difference and offers advice for bridging cultural divides, earning students' trust, and equipping them to take responsibility for their own success.
This book is a reminder of the incredible power every teacher has to help young people rewrite their destinies—and it's a call to action for all who read it.

Emma has to wear a men's tie for one of her upcoming MOMENTA performances. I was tickled to discover Leif giving her a lesson on how to tie it this afternoon. Thanks to her dad she's got it down!

Saturday Night Lights
Tonight the Rapids played a chilly game under the lights in River Forest! Finn was looking dangerous and meshed the only goal for his team early in the first half. Needless to say he was thrilled! Although the Rapids dominated the game, it ended in a 1-1 draw when the automatic timers on the lights went off leaving the teams in the dark with about 20 minutes left to play. They took it in stride though and will be back on the pitch early tomorrow.

Sunday on the Pitch.
Don Quixote
"His imagination was as full of all that he had read-of enchantments, contests, battles, challenges, wounds, courtships, amours, tortures, and impossible absurdities; and so firmly was he persuaded of the truth of the whole tissue of visionary fiction, that, in his mind, no history in the world was more authentic."
Don Quixote, Book One, Chapter 1, Miguel de Cervantes

To begin I will start at the end.
Emma and I (along with a couple thousand others) eagerly leaped from our seats to reward the dancers of the Joffrey Ballet with a well deserved and heartfelt standing ovation following Saturday evening's performance of Yuri Possokhov's, Don Quixote. As the audience cheered, artistic director, Ashley Wheater, presented Victoria Jaiani with a bouquet of white roses for completing her flawless performance and the beaming ballerina passed a rose along to her leading man, Carlos Quenedit, for his memorably powerful portrayal of Basilio. It was a beautifully quintessential night at the ballet.
Death defying lifts, welcomed humor, enticing video projections, classically elegant costumes, complex choreography and a large puppet all dovetailed to create what I will long consider to be one of the best nights at the ballet I've ever experienced. Not since we digested the their tragic version of Othello in 2009, have the Joffrey dancers captivated us in the same manner as they did in this world class production.
The Joffrey Ballet has long been known as an "all stars" or "no stars" company meaning each dancer is viewed equally and given their chance to shine. Leading dancers emerge, but not at the expense of celebrating a more athletic dancer in a different piece and Don Quixote celebrated their company of all-stars better than I could have imagined. From character driven funny men to a sultry street dancer and her matador each and every person had their moment to shine last night. Emma was on the edge of her seat as the company handled Possokhov's risky and athletic choreography with a confident ease. The evening was an impressive display of athletic resolve and strong artistic sensibility. What more can you ask for?
The Joffrey reached new heights with their powerful production and danced with unity, grace, and power; the city of Chicago is lucky to have them.
On the Threshold is up in February. Don't be left out. Buy a ticket.

Last night Leif and Finn hit Toyota Park with a bunch of the Rapids to cheer on the Chicago Fire. I guess it worked because the Fire beat the Columbus Crew 3-2. It sounds to me like they had a fantastic boys night out!

Glimpse into Childhood.
To say that I feel like a kid in a candy shop when I think about enjoying this menu in December may be cliche, but it is o so true! I am counting down the days until I get to go, but in the meantime will have to enjoy this welcome flashback to childhood!

Winter Color.
Retiring my vibrant red hair for a while is the perfect way to welcome winter weather, but it sure does make me feel more like a middle aged mom. When I snapped this picture, however, I was pleasantly surprised by how I looked. I often photograph myself right after getting my hair done because I know I probably won't look this good until I hit the salon again in six weeks! I've also discovered that I look pretty good under my white dining room curtains in the afternoon. Honestly, I cannot remember exactly how I figured this out, but being a SAHM does funny things to a person. Clean the tops of the kitchen cabinets OR photograph yourself under the dining room curtains? These are the choices I'm faced with on a daily basis and sometimes the curtains win! I just sincerely hope nothing ever happens to my Leifer; the likelihood of me meeting a new man on salon day under my dining room curtains are are slim to none at best!

Feeling Childish!
Yesterday both kids were up late working on homework and getting ready for the following day. By the time everyone settled in for the night, Leif and I snuggled in on the couch to watch a couple of shows before heading to bed. We were up later than normal, but that didn't change my bedtime routine. Out of habit, I always check my email and glance at Facebook before shutting down my computer for the night. Well last night I saw this on my home page...
Huh? A midnight release of tickets to Next's coveted childhood menu? I tip-toed over to the Next Restaurant page and lo and behold, there were tables wide open all over the place. I snapped up an in demand two top in December with such ease that I almost wondered if I was dreaming. Getting tickets to Paris 1906 and Tour of Thailand were far more dramatic, but after reading my confirmation email at least a half a dozen times I finally believed that we were going to have the chance to enjoy Next Childhood. Sneaking around Next's website in the middle of the night made me feel like a like child who had snuck out of the house and didn't get caught! These people sure know how to work a theme!

Dances Past & Present.
MOMENTA will present Dances Past&Present in the evening on Saturdays November 5th and 12th and Sundays November 6th and 13th. I am anxious to see several of the historical works and Emma is delighted to be performing in Doris Humphrey's, Water Study. She'll hang up her dancing shoes for a bit following these performances to make time to recover from her upcoming shoulder surgery. If you decide to attend a show you can bet we'll be there; we don't plan to miss a single one!

Punkins at the Patch.
This afternoon we met up with my brother and his family for our annual outing to the pumpkin patch in Lake Geneva. It is always fun to see my parents with all of their grandchildren and the four cousins always have a grand time hightailing it through the corn maze and jumping on the hay bales! After working up an appetite and selecting our pumpkins, we all headed back to my parent's house to enjoy a lovely pulled pork lunch my mom prepared for all of us.
It never quite feels like autumn is really upon us until we share this day as a family.
Happy Fall!
Thanks for a lovely day mom and dad!

Inspired to share the things I love.
Emma was up until nearly 4am doing homework again last night and it occurred to me that lately there are only about 2-3 hours per day that everyone in our house is sleeping. When we are awake we're all flying in a million different directions and I've been thinking that we all need to slow down. I wasn't really looking on the bright side of life this morning, but instead, feeling harried and pressed for time.
As I was reading the daily posts on my favorite blogs this morning, I discovered a little trail of inspiration at Virtual Farmgirl. Taking the lead from Molly and her blogger friend at Are You the Babysitter?, I decided to share some of the things I love. I agree with both of them regarding the importance of focusing on the positive things in life especially when a good chunk of it feels like an avalanche of laundry, carpools, homework, and sleepless nights. Making my list proved to be a lovely exercise and one I've committed to repeat whenever my life starts to feel more like a grind than a celebration of all the things I love! Go on...give it a try!

Mel's Love List
- My friend, Leif. Seriously, I dig the man. Considering we met and fell in love when I was just a few days over twenty we've done a lot of growing up together. Our evolving relationship brings me total joy and I cannot wait to see where we end up in the future.
- Watching Emma dance. She started wearing a tutu by choice at age two and earned the middle name Grace before we even knew her. She is pretty gifted, but more than that her commitment to this art has transformed her as a student and helped her become a confident and admirable young woman.
- Finn's Red Hair. He has always been a sprite of a boy and his hair suits him perfectly. When he was born I fell in love with the color of his hair instantly and even though he is a mischievous Red Wedge on the soccer field and undaunted by most challenges, I catch a glimpse of my baby when I look at his shock of crimson hair.
- Our little house. It is a tiny, comfortable reflection of our lives and everything in it has a story. It may not be the hippest place in town, but our bungalow it isn't called the Elsmo-Vortex for nothing.
- A cooking challenge. I have always loved to push the limits of my abilities in the kitchen and I should acknowledge how much I've enjoyed the fun challenges I've faced in the last year.
- Friends who cook for me. Love. Wish it happened more often.
- Talking on the phone. I am terrible at texting, but a good mindless phone banter always makes my day and offers a welcome distraction from tasks like emptying the dishwasher and folding laundry.
- Serendipity. My entire life is one huge and gorgeous happy accident!
- Fine dining. Call me a snob if you want, but few things in life make me happier than eating in the finest restaurants in the world.
- Camping. From the tents to the campfires I love it all.
- Thanksgiving. It is my favorite holiday of the year and I love it best when I get to host it.
- Good Penmanship. Hand written words are beautiful.
- Legacy. Create, cherish, and pass it on.
- Babies. A lot. A whole lot.
- Public Speaking. Put me in front of a room full of people any day.
- Sweaters, Slippers and Blankets. I love anything that makes me feel cozy.
- Hiding behind a camera. I love collecting memories for myself and other people.
- Blogging. It is the perfect way to account for all the wonderful happenings in our lives.
- Going to the Ballet. Emma and I have been long time season ticket holders at the Joffrey and my Mom used to take me to the ballet when I was little. Everything is beautiful at the ballet.
- The EPL. It is insane how much knowing Leif and Finn has helped me to love international soccer. I even watch games by myself these days!
- Planes. I still crane my neck to see out the window when I am on one and I am probably the only parent of a teenager who still points out low flying planes near O'Hare.
- Volunteering. Donating time is a way of life for me. I don't have a pay check to prove it.
- Tattoos. I love mine, but most especially love them on other people.
- People who inspire me. From friends to strangers...the list is long.
- The fact that this list could be longer...says a lot.

Considering the odd little creature my friend Ang found in her back yard yesterday my praying mantis doesn't seem all that remarkable anymore. I still think this gangly insect made for a nice back yard addition though; he was perched right on my fence all afternoon.

Two events/3000 appetizers
Yep. Exhausted and delighted are the only two words that could describe me over the past several days! On Thursday night I tackled a fund raising event for the Oak Park Regional Housing Center and my team and I put out nearly 2000 hors d'oeuvres in a little over two hours at Unity Temple. On Saturday I turned around and along with my team of extraordinary volunteers produced over 1000 appetizers for folks attending a benefit for the Pablove Foundation at a private River Forest Residence. Gorgeous food for a couple of great causes. What could be better?

Zimbabwe election: Opposition rejects 'fake' poll results
HARARE, ZIMBABWE-Zimbabwe's opposition leader has dismissed "unverified fake results" after President Emmerson Mnangagwa was declared winner of the first election since the ousting of Robert Mugabe.
Nelson Chamisa's MDC Alliance vowed to launch a legal challenge, saying the vote was rigged.
Mr. Mnangagwa has urged Zimbabweans to unite behind his presidency.
Police are patrolling the streets of the capital, Harare, after protests on Wednesday left six people dead.
A BBC correspondent in the city center says a police vehicle with a loudspeaker is broadcasting the message: "Zimbabwe is open for business. We are here to protect you. Feel free to walk and open your business. All is well, fear not."
Mr. Mnangagwa, of the governing Zanu-PF party, took office after President Mugabe, 94, was forced to resign in November. The vote was intended to set Zimbabwe on a new path following years of repressive rule, but tensions are now rising.
Mr. Mnangagwa narrowly avoided a run-off by taking 50.8% of the vote, official results show. Mr. Chamisa took 44.3%.
The electoral commission announced the presidential election results from the 10th and final province, Mashonaland West, late on Thursday after days of waiting.
The results of the parliamentary election were announced earlier in the week. They gave Zanu-PF 144 seats; the MDC Alliance, which is made up of seven parties, 64 seats, and one seat to the National Patriotic Front, formed by Mugabe loyalists.
Although Zanu-PF won by a landslide, its majority has shrunk since the 2013 election when it obtained 160 seats and the MDC, then led by the late Morgan Tsvangirai, 49.
What does the opposition say?
"The Zec scandal of releasing unverified fake results is regrettable," Mr. Chamisa tweeted on Friday, referring to the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission.
"Zec must release proper & verified results endorsed by parties. The level of opaqueness, truth deficiency, moral decay & values deficit is baffling."
The opposition also questioned the high turnout of more than 80% in most of the country's 10 provinces.
"What they have been trying to do of late is to play around," Mr. Chamisa told a news conference hours before the final results were announced.
"That is rigging, that is manipulation, trying to bastardise the result, and that we will not allow."
Zec responded by saying there was "absolutely no skullduggery".
Bold claims face court test
Analysis by Pumza Fihlani
It was a close finish. The "crocodile" just scraped through to legitimize his presidency, eight months after Robert Mugabe was ousted as president.
But Emmerson Mnangagwa and his Zanu-PF party are not celebrating yet. Zimbabwe's constitution allows for a legal challenge to the results but Nelson Chamisa now has the huge task of proving his bold claims.
There is no room for inflammatory talk in court - just hard evidence. Mr. Chamisa has been criticised here for prematurely declaring victory and fuelling tensions particularly in the capital.
If his challenge is to succeed, it won't be through the scenes we saw on Wednesday which led to six people being killed.
Aside from the disputed results, both leaders have injected new life into their parties. They have each ignited hope for what Zimbabwe could become.
But how the next few days play out will be the true test of how ready the political leaders are to embrace true democracy - where there are winners and losers but still a country to run.
What has Mnangagwa said?
Mr. Mnangagwa, 75, who took over from Mr. Mugabe in November, took to twitter to say he was "humbled" to have won the election.
"Though we may have been divided at the polls, we are united in our dreams. This is a new beginning," he added.
He has called for calm and said the government was in talks with Mr. Chamisa to defuse the crisis.
Mr. Mnangagwa has proposed an independent investigation to bring to justice those who were behind Wednesday's violence.
"This land is home to all of us and we will sink or swim together," he said in a series of tweets.
Mr. Mnangagwa has vowed to revitalize Zimbabwe's tattered economy after decades of international isolation under Mr. Mugabe.
The country has suffered from rampant inflation and high levels of poverty. The unemployment rate last year was as high as 90%, according to Zimbabwe's biggest trade union.
What do other countries think?
Neighboring South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa - who is chairman of the Southern African Development Community - has appealed to political leaders and the Zimbabwean people to accept the outcome of the election.
European Union and Commonwealth election observers had earlier criticised the delay.
EU observers also said they had found an "un-level playing field and lack of trust" in the election process.
It was the first time in 16 years that the government had allowed EU, Commonwealth and US election monitors into the country.
How have tensions risen?
The day after the election, the MDC Alliance said Mr Chamisa had won the presidential vote, pre-empting an official announcement and prompting its supporters to celebrate in some areas of Harare.
The following day, when Zec announced that Zanu-PF had won the parliamentary vote by a landslide, tensions rose further.
Opposition supporters were also angered by the delay in announcing the presidential results.
There were chaotic scenes in Harare on Wednesday as troops and riot police clashed with MDC Alliance protesters. Six demonstrators were killed and many others injured.

Version 2.0 doesn't seem to bring much in the way of features, but what it lacks in functional changes is more than made up for with visuals. Basically everything having to do with a search interface looks at least a little different, if not completely. If you're eager to try it out for yourself, there's an APK Mirror link at the bottom.

A Daniel Sturridge brace sent Liverpool through to the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup as they defeated Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 at Anfield.
Sturridge showed his class throughout the game and an instinctive finish early on gave the hosts the lead. In truth, Sturridge could have had more than two on the night as he missed a number of chances.
The striker though did finally score his second goal midway through the second half to send Liverpool on their way to the next round.
Vincent Janssen got one back for the visitors from the penalty spot before the end but overall on the night the better team progressed to the next round.
Both managers made a host of changes for the game. Jurgen Klopp changed his entire starting eleven for the game while Mauricio Pochettino made ten changes to his team.
Sturridge gave the hosts the perfect start
From the start the game, both teams showed what their tactics were for the game as both sets of players were pressing each other high up the pitch.
The pressing worked perfectly for the hosts when a slip from Georges-Kevin N'Koudou gave the ball to Marko Grujic, who made his way into the box and his goalbound shot deflected the ball into the path of Sturridge, who stabbed the ball into the net past Michel Vorm to give Liverpool the perfect start.
Sturridge then almost made it two a couple of minutes later when a lovely curling effort from the striker was heading into the top corner of net but Vorm managed to get up well and touch the ball over the bar.
The hosts continued to push forward without having any decent chances to get a second goal.
Spurs fail to impress in the first half
The visitor's finally got into the game after the half-hour mark when a low driven shot from Janssen was well saved by Simon Mignolet, who had very little to do in the first half.
The pattern of the game continued in the second half as the hosts continued to have a number of chances.
Sturridge scored his second after a number of missed chances
Sturridge somehow failed to make it 2-0 when a cross from Divock Origi found the striker but instead of hitting the ball into the net, it hit him and went the to other way much to the disbelief of the home fans.
Origi then went extremely close a few minutes later when a thunderous strike from the striker outside the box saw Vorm at full stretch to keep the ball out of the net.
The hosts though did finally get their second goal when a free-flowing move saw Georginio Wijnaldum play Sturridge through one on one against Vorm and the striker confidently stroked the ball into the net to give the home side what they deserved.
Vorm really was the only reason that the visitors weren't further behind in the game as a well struck free kick from Wijnaldum was heading in the goal but a good save from Dutchman kept it out.
Janssen got one back from the penalty spot
It was an important save as out of nowhere Spurs got themselves back into the game when Lucas Leiva fouled Erik Lamela in the box and referee John Moss pointed to the spot.
Vincent Janssen stepped up to take it and sent Mignolet the wrong way to get his team back into a game that they didn't deserve.
Sturridge almost restored the hosts two-goal a few minutes later but he saw his deflected chip from outside the box come back off the bar with Vorm beaten in the goal.
Right until the end both teams pressed for more goals with Danny Ings seeing his shot well saved before the end by Vorm as the game ended with Klopp's side progressing to the quarter-finals.
