When Regina King won the Golden Globe for her work as mother Sharon Rivers in If Beale Street Could Talk, she touched on its impact with a brief observation from her own son, Ian: "My son said to me when he saw [the film] that it was the first time he really saw himself," she explained at the podium. It was perfectly in line with Sharon's drive to do right by her daughter, Tish, and Tish's fiancé, Fonny. Like King's work, it was subtle, but impactful. Throughout her decades-long career on both the big and small screens, King has spanned genre and challenged stereotype; she has won three Emmys, including Best Actress in a Limited Series for her work in 2018's Seven Seconds. In W's annual Best Performances package, she reflects on how she and Beale Street director Barry Jenkins brought Sharon to life, her first acting role, and the moment she knew she wanted to be an actor for the rest of her life.
How did If Beale Street Could Talk come to you?
It came my way first and foremost because of my relationship with Dede Gardner, and Jeremy Kleiner at Plan B. We did a movie years, years, years ago called Year of the Dog, and have been wanting the opportunity to work together again, and finally this project came my way: "Barry Jenkins is interested, and it's a screen adaptation of James Baldwin's book, If Beale Street Could Talk. Barry Jenkins, Plan B, James Baldwin…. How could I not take that meeting?
What was that meeting like?
It was absolutely amazing. One of the things that made it the most amazing is that we weren't even in the same room together. Technology!
You were on Skype?
Yes. I wanted to read the book before I met Barry, even though our agents on both sides said, "You don't have to. All you have to do is read the script." And I said, "No, this is Barry Jenkins, and this is James Baldwin. I must read the book before I talk to him." He was in Montreal, I was in Mexico, and we had this amazing Skype call that was supposed to only last 30 minutes. We ended up being on there for an hour. We didn't want to get off. We immediately felt a connection as collaborators. And here I am.
You famously took a big break from film for a number of years. Tell me about that.
I didn't take a break from acting, but I took a break from film because my son, Ian, was entering the age of... you know, when kids are starting to really spread their wings and feel themselves, around that sixth-grade year. I felt like, I don't want to travel and miss things. At that time, that was when our film was moving out of L.A., so everything that was coming across our desks were things outside of the city, except for TV. And television just treated me so well. I found the stories that were coming my way to be so full, so I was in this television world for a good 10 years.
So, do we call this a comeback to film? Or no?
When I hear people say, "Do we call this a comeback?," I like to use a LL Cool J line: "Don't call it a comeback! I been here for years!"
[Laughs] So, let's go back in your life. What was the first audition you ever nailed? The first one you ever booked.
The first audition I ever booked was a McDonald's commercial. I had to be somewhere around the age of 10. And that was my first experience of the spit bucket, for when that quarter-pounder with cheese that tasted so good at 10:00 a.m., at 11:00 tastes like dirt. So you bite into it and "Mmm!" Spit.
Did they tell you to do that, or did you at first start swallowing?
I'm a kid! I'm 10! I'm going for it. My mom didn't really let us eat McDonald's, so I'm like, I have won. I have struck gold. But I think they just saw this little girl's face getting sour. And they let me know, "Well, you don't have to actually eat it." I was like, "Wow!"
Did you do a lot of commercials?
Actually, from there, um, I was doing a lot of plays in L.A. I went to this theater group called Cambridge Academy that was run by Betty Bridges, Todd Bridges' mother. And I know people in New York are like, "Theater in L.A.? Ha ha ha ha ha!" Well, it exists! And I am a product of it.
There's a lot of theater in L.A.
Yes! There is.
The Mark Taper Forum, now there's The Geffen...
This wasn't quite the Mark Taper Forum, or Dorothy Chandler, or The Geffen, but...
But you were working.
It was me learning, and I had the opportunity to audition for a play called 227 starring Marla Gibbs. When she and the writer sold that play to NBC, I auditioned for Marla Gibbs' daughter. I got the part 14 auditions later.
And did you think you'd made it? Were you convinced you were a star at that point?
I wasn't really so much convinced that I was a star, and I still don't think that today. I love to perform. I definitely was aware, at a very young age, that God had given me the gift of understanding how much joy you get in being somebody else. [laughs] 227 was an affirmation, a confirmation that this was something that I was supposed to be doing. I still wanted to be a dentist when I grew up. I didn't think that acting was a career choice. It was just fun, and I got to do it.
Dentist. Look at these choppers.
What was the first movie you booked?
Boyz n the Hood was where it all started. John Singleton and I both went to USC, and he used to see me across campus. When Sony brought me in to audition, I just said, like, four or five lines to the casting director, came back later that day and auditioned for the director and producer. My acting coach always said, "Soon as you finish your audition, you get outta there. You don't try to hang out and try to get to know people. You did your job, go." So I'm trying to walk outta there as quick as possible, and I hear someone go, "Regina." And I just keep walking. Then I hear, "Regina King," and I'm like, "I gotta stop." I turned around and I remember it like it was yesterday: John was standing at the top of the steps, and he says, "You got it."
Now that moment was like, yeah, I'm supposed to be an actress. At that moment, I knew this is what I wanna do. This is the world I wanna be in. This is the culture I wanna be a part of. This is the community I wanna be a part of for the rest of my life.
Well, thank God you're here. So tell me about the scene in Beale Street with the wig, because it's such a powerful scene. It's so exquisite, and also, I think, really speaks to the soul of the character.
Sharon is in Puerto Rico, trying to fight for her son-in-law's life, and she's there alone. There is a scene where she's getting ready to go talk to the person can possibly decide the fate of their family. And it's played right into the camera, which was the fabulous Mr. Jenkins's choice.
Sharon is the woman in this film who... you get the sense that if it can be handled, she can handle it. She's like Olivia Pope of 1974. And here she is that she's not feeling really Olivia Pope-ish. She's trying to put on that armor, that confidence that's gonna get her through, that's gonna get the win. And she's never been more terrified. I think so many of us have those moments where we used all the tools and devices to get us through these moments when we're scared or uncomfortable. And they don't always work out.
There's also something interesting, because it's about hair.
In the book, she has a shawl. She puts the shawl on, then she takes the shawl off. And after I read the book, that sat with me. After I had my initial conversation with Barry, I called him, and I said, "You know, I have a thought about this scene. What if it was a wig? Because what I know and what I remember of my grandmother, she had a wig that she wore when she went downtown to handle business. She had a wig that she wore when she was dressing up to be a night on the town with my grandfather."
One for church.
A wig for church. And sometimes, just wearing her own hair for church. [Barry] loved the idea. And that's how it ended up being a wig. Especially for black women, we love to change our looks. We also feel like a new person each time we make that change. And, y'know, when we receive that compliment, just even from another woman, "Girl, your hair."
We were in 1974. And that's so much of what it was: women were deciding what jewels they were wearing, what little scarf pin to put on. All of those things and details were really important, especially in the '70s, and I wanted to embrace that.

Clarity for GDPR compliance in 20 minutes: With the free VdS-Quick-Check
March 2018 by Marc Jacob
Despite its far-reaching re-quirements, the EU´s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) must be fully implemented until May 25th by every company pro-cessing personal data and every public authority in the EU member states (and, at current negotiation status, also the UK).
Therefore VdS, Europe´s largest institute for corporate security and safety, has now supplemented its range of data protection services for the practical management of these EU requirements with a free Internet-Quick-Check. On the basis of 26 questions, specifically small and medium-sized businesses as well as smaller authorities can quickly determine their individual level of GDPR compliance. The convenient VdS-traffic-light-system immediately shows any need for action. Included in the evaluation is also precise assistance for any subsequent improvements that may be necessary.
Caption Web-Quick-Check: The VdS-Quick-Check for self-analysis of the GDPR compliance level based on 26 compact questions directly offers companies and authorities precise assistance where exactly the implementation may still need to be improved.

I had an issue getting my friend's computer to display video on his dual monitors. It had been working well with dual monitors before but then it started having problems with performance, or drivers, freezing on boot, and even overheating.
I took a look at some of the problems and managed to get it to boot and display on a different monitor without the video-card.
Things appearing to be back in order the video-card was put back in place to set up the dual monitor visual. However the displays would show no signal on the monitors and would only display when the VGA was connected directly on the the motherboard.
So, I changed the settings on the BIOS to use the PCIEx16 for video, and now get no signal on either the (VGA) onboard graphics nor the (DVI) Video Card.
I tried resetting the BIOS finding CMOS and also tryed removing the battery and still nothing. It still shows no signal on both the intergrated and video-card graphics.
I use a DVI to VGA adapter for the video-card.
I am not entirely on point with the specs and for now won't be able to provide the exact names and or manufacturer brands for this Desktop PC hardware.
Culer fins ala mort!
message edited by Josep
To determinethe specs of the computer...
Download Belarc Advisor and run it fromwithinwindows. It will generate a report covering everything about the computer; including software keys, hardware details etc.. The report canbe saved as a file, and also printed - which if possible do.
Also if you run the built-in MS utility ms32info it will produce similar.
To run msinfo32 go to start - run and type msinfo32, and then press enter/return
If you know the make of the add-in card post it here; may enable pholks here to find the manual for it. It is just possible that you have set an option on the cards control panel or similar - which may be accessed via right click on the desktop display...
Guessing a little but you may need to re-install the drivers again.
"and even overheating"
If it's overheating best first check that the vents are clear. If you are happy inside clear the dust from fans and the CPU heatsink. If the video card has a heatsink clean that too.
This is the first step before worrying about software.
Always pop back and let us know the outcome - thanks
I edited and added to my previous post.
trvlr- I believe its an ATI video card but I don't know the model. I get no signal through the through the onboard graphics as well. I don't know if its a drivers issue.
I also forgot to mention I don't have the computer. So I won't be able to post the full specs.
Derek- It had been overheating and wouldn't boot. I cleaned it and added artic silver to the CPU.
Culer fins ala mort!
Without the add-in card does it give a display or not; i.e. using the on-board graphic chip/adapter?
If you can get someone to run either of the utilities suggested above, and then send you a copy of the report (a file ideally, or even hard copy - email?) you could then post details here?
What we're after is the add-in card details, which those utilities will reveal.
ATI cards do have their own ""control panel" as it were which is accessed via the desktop - right click to open the dialogue window for all things to do with display... But this presumes of course that can see something on a screen with card installed.
Incidentally have you tried booting the system into safe-mode? If so you can uninstall the ATI card (add/remove hardware); then reboot to normal mode. If you can then see a default vga display, then you can try re-installing the drivers for the card. But be sure to use the correct set.... Which is why useful to know the actual card make/model. Although windows can sometimes search for suitable drivers if you opt to let it, should you not have drivers to hand. Seem to recall that is an option in the ad/remove hardware routine (add in this case obviously).
Did you apply using the correct method:
Did you clean off all old thermal compound?
Clearing CMOS requires unplugging the power cord and shorting across the clear CMOS terminals briefly OR unplugging, removing the battery, waiting a minute or two while tapping the power button. The first method is preferred.
After clearing the CMOS memory, plug the monitor into the motherboard's VGA or DVI connector, enter BIOS set up and reset to optimum settings (like default but better), Save and Exit, restart into BIOS set up and manually set basic parameters (time, date, CPU, RAM, etc., Save and Exit.
You have to be a little bit crazy to keep you from going insane.

As the entertainment world and audiences across the globe continue to mourn the tragic passing of actress, writer and mental-health activist Carrie Fisher, news has begun to be released concerning the status of the various projects that she had been working on prior to her death by heart attack. It's already been confirmed that Fisher completed her role in the upcoming Star Wars: Episode VIII, meaning filmgoers will get to see her play (General) Leia one more time in full.
Fisher's overall screen and pop-culture presence had increased substantially over the last decade both thanks to the revival of the Star Wars franchise and her candid memoirs and public speaking engagements. However, she had also become a recurring part of the Family Guy cast as the voice of Angela, Peter Griffin's boss at the reconfigured Pawtucket Patriot Brewery. It has now been confirmed that Fisher will be seen (or, rather, heard) at least two more times as Angela on Family Guy.
Though not appearing in every episode, Angela had come to play a key role in either the main or secondary plots of multiple Family Guy storylines. While typically framed as either a villain or the butt of the show's (typically excessive) jokes in regards to the character's supposed unattractiveness, she was also one of the most prominent female characters in the Family Guy canon outside of the principal regular cast. Seth MacFarlane, the creator of the series and voice of Peter, said of the actress' contributions (h/t to Variety):
"Carrie Fisher was smart, funny, talented, surprising, and always a hell of a fun time to be around, Family Guy will miss her immensely."
Angela first appeared in the 2005 episode Jungle Love, and was subsequently featured prominently in such Family Guy episodes as Whistle While Your Wife Works, Baby You Knock Me Out, Vestigial Peter and Peter-Assment, along with the two-episode crossover event Simpsons Guy. In addition, Fisher participated in the last of the series' three double-length parodies of the Star Wars movies (It's A Trap!, a retelling of Return of The Jedi) as the voice of the Rebellion leader Mon Mothma.
No details have been provided as to which upcoming episodes Angela is set to appear in or what will become of the character now that her voice actress has passed. Family Guy initially set out to have the title character change jobs with some frequency (he was originally an assembly line worker at a toy factory and then a fishing boat captain) but has kept him employed at the Brewery for the last 15 years of episodes.
Family Guy continues with 'Passenger Fatty-Seven' on January 8th, 2017 on FOX.

Expungement Law provides thousands with second chance0
ST. PAUL — Minnesota Gov. Mark Dayton signed the juvenile and criminal records expungement bill into law May 14, 2014.
Designed to help individuals rebuild their lives after contact with the criminal justice system, the legislation will provide expungement relief for Minnesotans pursuing a second chance, often long after they have been held accountable for their actions.
After recent MN Supreme Court decisions, many criminal and juvenile records were prohibited from expungement, indefinitely impairing access to basic needs, such as employment and housing. Criminal records have potentially devastating consequences for family formation, social cohesion, and life prospects. By providing reasonable and meaningful relief from these records, thousands of Minnesotans will have better opportunities for employment, housing, and education.
On May 9th, 2014, Minnesota Senators passed the expungement bill with incredible bi-partisan support of 58-3. The Minnesota House of Representatives passed the bill 84-48 on May 8th. The bill was chief- authored by Senator Bobby Joe Champion, and Representative Carly Melin.
Working closely with expungement law experts at the Council on Crime and Justice, with support from the Second Chance Coalition, and input from other stakeholders, the authors designed the bill to increase opportunity and promote public safety. Council on Crime and Justice Vice President and Second Chance Coalition Co-Chair Mark Haase, who led the lobbying campaign, acknowledged the many "at the legislature, state agencies, and other organizations who spent countless hours helping to create a carefully crafted and balanced change to some very complex law."
The legislation provides specific remedies, including clarifying juvenile delinquency expungement, extending sealing powers to the executive branch, requiring private screening services to delete expunged records, and protecting employers and landlords from liability based upon an expungement.
Haase addressed Gov. Dayton and attendees, some of whom experienced barriers to second chances first-hand. Along with those who participated in the creation of the bills, Haase thanked "those who had the courage to come forth and speak publicly about some of their worst moments so that others could benefit," including Katie Tourand, who testified before the legislature.
In 2003, Tourand was convicted of 2nd degree possession of a controlled substance, and in 2005, aiding and abetting of check forgery. She was 20 years old. Over the next 9 years, Tourand went on to complete all requirements of probation, manage a Subway store, become an honor society student, have a son, graduate from the Carlson School of Management, and be offered highly competitive positions at 3 Fortune 500 companies- only to have them rescinded after criminal background checks.
The Council on Crime and Justice works with the Volunteer Lawyers' Network to provide expungement assistance. For further information, call the Criminal Records Information Line at 612-353-3024, and sign up for the Minnesota Justice Monthly newsletter at www.crimeandjustice.org.

Bjork feels the crowd's love at opening of Day for Night Festival
Bjork, the Icelandic pop star with an unmistakable voice, opened the second annual Day for Night music and art festival without saying a word.
Friday's preview event inside the former downtown post office included a DJ set and the unveiling of Bjork Digital, an immersive art exhibition that includes virtual reality.
Online reservation spots for the exhibit immediately filled up. A standby line snaked through the cavernous building.
It was dark, cold and felt more like the perfect place for an epic haunted house. But it was also an oddly appropriate setting for such a bold, eclectic event.
Last year's inaugural Day for Night at the Silver Street Studios campus included Kendrick Lamar and New Order.
A few hundred people crowded at the small stage where Bjork quietly took her place behind a laptop, nestled amid a backdrop of tall greenery. She wore a purple and peach dress that fluttered when she danced around or waved her hands.
MUST SEE: 10 acts not to miss at Day for Night
An ornate mask covered most of Bjork's face. The light of her laptop sometimes lit up her nose and mouth.
Bjork's set, which ran 80 minutes, was expectedly left of center. It went from tribal chants and mournful wails to classical pieces and animal sounds. There were also recognizable tunes from Serpentwithfeet, Kate Bush and R&B singer Jeremih, whose "F You All the Time" was an unexpected closer.
The crowd remained rapt and respectful but didn't always seem to know what to do. They sometimes clapped and screamed at awkward intervals, unsure if their Icelandic queen was paying attention. But the giddy wave she gave at the end seemed to indicate she felt the love.
A ROCKIN' 2017: These are the top concerts
Most of the art installations and exhibitions open Saturday, though a few were up and running Friday night. The preview party also included a performance by Austin pop duo Light Wheel and a DJ set from The Suffers singer Kam Franklin.
Day for Night continues throughout the weekend with another Bjork DJ set and performances across four stages by Run the Jewels, Aphex Twin, Kaskade, Mykki Blanco Travis Scott and more.

Except for Manny's anxiety over Selma's hesitation, the rest of the flight seemed uneventful. His mind kept wandering around and contemplating what the outcome of his premature presumptive and unprotected verbal lunge might be. Her quick parry not being followed by an equal and definite opposing thrust had left him emotionally off balance. He kept remembering his promise to himself at age six to never express an interest in anyone that hadn't already said they liked him. Manny was once again adrift in self-doubt.
Meanwhile, Capt. Vander Flieg, his flight crew and the Flight attendants were busy getting the travelers and the 767 ready for landing.
From the overhead speakers, the warm, friendly no-nonsense Flight attendant's voice announces;
" Trays up and seats forward, folks. Capt. Flieg says he has found the airport and landing strip he's been looking for. We need to prepare for our final descent into Schipol International. It's just a short and inexpensive ride from there to Amsterdam, the most beautiful city in the civilized world."
A long pause for dramatic effect was followed by,
" Remember to remain in your seats until the seat belt sign goes off and stay out of the aisles until the aircraft has come to a complete stop. At that time you will have plenty of time to remove your belongings from the overhead compartments."
Incoming flights from all over the world were lining up to get into the landing pattern at one of Europe's busiest airports. There was no time to be wasted. The twenty second interval spacing between landing aircraft made sure that the passengers would be treated to the smooth and safe landing that the Dutch are known for. Even the squeak, squawk and thump and rush of the tires hitting the runway had all the finesse of a spirited young rental stallion bringing his rider back to his home stable after a long a tiring adventure.
The intercom crackled once again,
"On behalf of the owners, the management, the crew and staff, we hope you all have had as much fun flying with KLM on our trip home as we have had having you on board."
As Selma and Manny got in line to leave the aircraft and be directed to the baggage claim carrels, neither said anything, but when they got in line to go through customs, Selma said quietly,
" I forgot to get any of my AAA traveler's checks cashed. Lets share the costs of the trip into town, OK?"

Cougar Sports
It's been 50 years since the Bryan Adams Class of 1962-63 competed on the courts, fields and diamonds of Dallas. They fared pretty well, too, winning the city championship in baseball and being co-champions in football. In commemoration I was asked to come up with a "collage" depicting some of the Cougar sports. One of those scrawny kids is being honored by the Dallas ISD by having the girls' gym renamed in his honor. A well deserved honor it is since Gary Blair went on to coach several state champions in women's basketball at South Oak Cliff High School and a national championship at Texas A&M and is in the Texas Sports Hall of Fame.

The announcement of the return of the Dallas Sidekicks and local sports icon Tatu as its co-owner and general manager reminded me of a drawing I did of Antonio Carlos Pecorari several years ago. It was done for a fund-raiser but the event fizzled out and I've still got the drawing. It now has Tatu's autograph on it, not shown in the image below.

BOSTON (Legal Newsline) - A class action lawsuit has been filed against Apple Inc. after consumers claim the company requires consumers who use credit cards to provide personal identification information it doesn't need.
Adam Christensen, Jeffrey Scolnick and William Farrell purchased products from Apple retain stores in 2012 and 2013 on Massachusetts, according to a complaint filed Jan. 15 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts at Boston.
The plaintiffs claim to consummate each purchase, the plaintiffs elected to use their credit cards as the chosen form of payment and, as a condition of using credit cards, they were required by Apple to enter personal identification information associated with the credit card, including their full and complete ZIP codes.
Apple would not allow the plaintiffs to complete their purchases without supplying such information, according to the suit.
The plaintiffs claim Apple: Is not required by credit card issuers to require this information from consumers; recorded their ZIP codes into an electronic credit card transaction form; and continues to store the information.
Consumers "value their personal data highly, and place an economic value on the privacy of that data," the complaint states.
The plaintiffs claim Apple violated the Massachusetts Unfair Trade Practices Act and have been injured by Apple's collection of their ZIP codes in connection with their credit card transactions.
More than 30 days prior to filing suit, the plaintiffs made a pre-suit demand pursuant to Massachusetts General Laws and Apple did not accept the terms of the demand, according to the suit.
The plaintiffs claim Apple's failure to accept the terms of this demand was made in bad faith, because Apple has knowledge or reason to know that the practice complained of does, in fact, violate Massachusetts General Laws.
The plaintiffs are seeking declaration that the defendant's actions violated Massachusetts General Laws, statutory damages, treble damages and pre- and post-judgment interest. They are being represented by Alexander Shapoval and Joseph J. Siprut of Siprut PC.
The case has been assigned to District Judge Douglas P. Woodlock.
Apple has been involved in multiple class action lawsuits in recent years.
Two separate groups of iPhone and iPad users sued Apple in December 2010, alleging that certain software applications were passing personal user information to third-party advertisers without the users' consent. In April 2011, Apple agreed to amend its developer agreement to stop the passing of personal information from happening, except for information directly necessary for the functionality of the apps.
In 2009, a group of consumers filed a class action against Apple on behalf of consumers who purchased iTunes gift cards and were then unable to use the cards to purchase iTunes music at the price advertised on the card because Apple raised the price of music after it sold the cards to consumers. A settlement providing class members with an iTunes store credit of $3.25 was awarded to consumers who submitted an online claim before Sept. 24, 2012.

HP Acquires Bristol
Bristol's Transaction Vision, is defined as follows.
TransactionVision® provides Business Process Monitoring that dramatically increases visibility into your customer facing transactions. Just as you would track overnight packages from origination to delivery, TransactionVision tracks customer transactions throughout their entire lifecycle. [source]
One of the interesting points in their literature, which I found useful, is ability to track transaction information through MQ and J2EE. Having been responsible for a large scale middleware environment using both J2EE and MQ we faced this very problem. We were able to build significant monitoring capabilities around our J2EE platform using some of our stuff and Wily's Introscope. However, as soon as the message left and went to the bus we lost a lot of visibility and information about how much time it spent where. The tools around MQ only provided for us general information. If Bristol's Transaction Vision helps look deeper, than that is good. However, not sure I could have justified more tooling around monitoring MQ as we already had incurred the expense of monitoring our middleware environment. In this case, IBM should have better out-of-box tools for deeper monitoring within MQ. Maybe they do today, it has been a couple of years since I last touched that environment.
So while Transaction Vision seems to have bridged visibility across some environments, I am still confused as to HP's acquisition. They seem to have quite a bit technology in this space 'Transaction Analyzer' and 'Business Process Insight' being two of them. Does Bristol complete, complement, or replace for them?

Bristol's Transaction Vision has similarities with Wily and HP's OVTA when it comes to the Java stuff, but the really cool thing about TV is the ability to bridge across different environments like MQ and Mainframes. TV collects the info on all the messages running around a distributed network and then figures out where everything is going. It draws a map and shows you what messages are going where, what the thruput and response times are and so forth. Bristol had done a lot of collaborative work with Mercury (who was an OEM customer). It became so useful to Mercury and their clients, that after the Mercury acquisition settled with HP, they immediately turned to acquiring Bristol. I think it is a good marriage - HP is getting a great technical team, and with the breadth of the HP/Mercury market presence, Bristol will finally get the wide distribution it deserves. It will be a hot product.
One note of disclosure - I am on the Bristol Board.

So who is Andrew Cuomo's primary challenger? None other than Zephyr Teachout, a law professor at Fordham University. And she has the backing of "millions of New Yorkers" and "the base of the Democratic Party." She's also received several endorsements, like the one by Jeffrey Sachs of the Huffington Post, who wrote in an op-ed piece,
I am asking New Yorkers and New York Democrats to stand together to demand honesty and change. If we elect Zephyr Teachout and Tim Wu, they and we will begin to fix New York. Working together, we can achieve better schools, renewable energy, and a fairer tax code. We can achieve a return to the great NY tradition of progressive leadership in the steps of Teddy Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, and Fiorella LaGuardia. Those leaders built the hydroelectric power, the bridges, the airports, and the parks we still use today. It's now our chance, by supporting new leadership and honest politics to build our legacy, not corruption. We can fix our problems.
Spoiler alert: Jeffrey Sachs apparently thinks Zephyr Teachout will be the next Fiorella LaGuardia. I hope she's up to reading all those children's stories over the radio. Frankly, I'd settle for anyone who could make LaGuardia airport run smoothly.
On a serious note, the main thrust of Teachout's campaign centers on one issue: Common Core. She thinks it's been a brutal disaster. Know what? She's right. From what I've seen - and I'll admit I haven't studied it too much, at least not without a bottle of Excedrin - it's about as popular as a case of food poisoning on a cruise ship.
But is that enough to unseat an incumbent governor who is leading his Republican opponent by a healthy margin? No. To listen to Teachout and her supporters, you'd think Cuomo was Boss Tweed or something. He isn't.
But then that's not what's really bothering Teachout, Sachs and all those feisty progressives out there who have their panties in a bunch. What gets in their craw is the fact that Cuomo doesn't sing and dance like they do. He beds down with the enemy to pass legislation (Heavens to Murgatroyd!); his tax policies are aimed at attracting businesses to come to New York, instead of the other way around. He's no supply-sider but he gets it that taxes in New York are too high. He's pro gay rights and passed a gun law that puts common sense restrictions on what types of guns and ammo can be purchased and by whom. He's what most of us commonly refer to as a centrist, but what the Left calls a sellout.
That's what this whole challenge is about. Teddy Roosevelt and FDR are just window dressing. The Left got all weak in the knees when Bill de Blasio won a landslide election for New York mayor last year and now they want their guy (er, girl) in Albany. Never mind that de Blasio's win was an outlier and came about primarily due to a staggering low voter turnout; never mind that no one knows whether Teachout could actually win the general against Rob Astorino. Never mind all that, principles are all that matter when you're a progressive. Like the rest of us are just empty vessels.
Fortunately for New York, Andrew Cuomo will not be the next Eric Cantor. You'll recall the former Republican majority leader of the House was defeated in a primary by a candidate, David Brat, who was even further to the right than he was. There's a price to be paid in GOP land when you piss off the base; it's called getting your ass kicked. Eric Cantor is now a private citizen and the Virginia 7th district is now up for grabs. That's what happens when you don't think things through clearly and rationally; you end up cutting off your nose to spite your face.
This is why I can't stand progressives. I agree with their policies, but I strongly question their sanity. To this day, most of them still don't think it was a mistake voting for Ralph Nader in 2000. Bush and Gore were basically one in the same, right? Two wars, trillions of dollars in debt later and they are as obstinate as ever. It's a good thing for the rest of us that there are no Laura Ingrahams or Rush Limbaughs in our ranks who are capable of rallying the troops. The best we have is Rachel Maddow. Sorry, Rachel, you're no Rush.
Progressives need to stop flirting with disaster. It's one thing to admire Elizabeth Warren; it's quite another to think she could win the presidency. She can't. It's high time the Left comes to grips with a staggering reality: with the exception of a few geographic regions (the Northeast and the West coast) most of the country is somewhere between left of center and right of center. The Bill de Blasios and Zephyr Teachouts aren't well liked, much less electable outside of those regions. For all the talk about how terrible (e.g., middle-of-the-road) a candidate Terry McAuliffe was in last year's gubernatorial race in Virginia, the truth is had progressives gotten the candidate they wanted, Ken Cuccinelli would've won. Like it or not, it is the McAuliffes, the Cuomos and the Clintons of the Party that have the best shot at defeating the extremism of the GOP. As I have said on more than one occasion, elections are won in the center, not the flanks.
Maybe you're not crazy about Hillary Clinton. Great, find me an other Democrat who carries Virginia, North Carolina, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Colorado and Iowa. Hillary can win them all. I doubt Warren would be competitive in but a few.
Look, I lived through the '80s. I saw the Democrats get their butts kicked three times. I have, believe me, no wish to return to those days.

PITTSBURGH - A 23-year-old man running in the Pittsburgh Marathon Sunday died after going into cardiac arrest and collapsing during the race.
"We are profoundly sad to report the death of one of our participants in the half-marathon," Pittsburgh Marathon medical director Ron Roth said.
According to Roth, Kyle Johnson collapsed in front of paramedics near the Mile 12 marker of the half-marathon.
"Resuscitation was started by our paramedics at the scene and continued during the brief 30-second transport to UPMC Mercy Hospital. The resuscitation was continued at Mercy, but, unfortunately, the runner died," Roth said.
Dan Johnson, Kyle Johnson's father, said, "It's probably best they said what they said because I expected the worst. They said he fell, his heart quit beating and they were having trouble resuscitating him.
"I'm unbelievably proud. I just tell people I'm going to wake up from a bad dream," said Dan Johnson, who was at the marathon to support his son.
The Allegheny County Medical Examiner's Office ruled that Johnson died of a genetic abnormality of the coronary arteries.
Johnson, who recently ran a half-marathon in New York, died of "an inherited abnormality of the coronary artery system," which supplies blood and oxygen to the muscles of the heart.
The rare defect is "known to be associated with sudden unexpected death," according to a news release from medical examiner Dr. Karl Williams, who cited the 1988 death of NBA star and Aliquippa native Pete Maravich as a similar case.
"I met with the family at the hospital. It was a profoundly sad meeting. I related our condolences to them," Roth said.
"The doctor said, frankly, he was gone when he hit the pavement," Dan Johnson said. "His heart just quit, his lungs didn't work. They gave him CPR for over an hour," he said.
Kyle Johnson was a graduate of North Allegheny High School and Penn State University.
His football coach at North Allegheny, Art Walker, had nothing but good things to say about him.
"Kyle played for us for three years. He was a phenomenal person," Walker said. "He may not have been the biggest or the best, but he made a difference on our team."
Walker said Johnson was in good shape, and had run marathons in the past.
"I didn't want to believe it. I was in disbelief and had to hear it from three or four sources before it sunk in. He was a kid with a promising future and a love for life," Walker said. "Kyle will be remembered as a quality person, a reliable friend and a great teammate."
"He was a mentally tough kid. That probably hurt. He's too stubborn to quit. I'm sure he was determined to finish no matter what," Dan Johnson said.
In all, 133 runners required some sort of medical attention Sunday. Twenty-eight of those runners were transported to local hospitals.
Roth said the medical team was fully prepared to treat runners with more than 550 medical volunteers.
He said they primarily treated sprains and strains, plus solar-related issues on a sunny day.

Penguins knot series with 3-2 win over Senators
Hugo Joseph | May 21, 2017, 16:44
Penguins knot series with 3-2 win over Senators
Both goalies skated Friday morning at the University of Ottawa's Minto Sports Complex.
Pittsburgh Penguins coach Mike Sullivan kept the identity of his goalie quiet before finally revealing it on Friday. "I think seeing the way we played, hopefully that's something we can build off of". Team let Fleury down in game 3.
Murray had a.923 save percentage in the regular season and a.923 mark en route to the Cup last spring. He has changed his tune now, but he did play the underdog card in the last series against the New York Rangers and, this time, he has just talked about the fact that he has nothing but respect for the Penguins.
"It's not going to go 16 games in a row perfectly", said Fleury, smiling plenty during his media availability post-practice.
The Senators captured Game 1 in overtime and overwhelmed the Penguins early in Game 3 of a series that hasn't exactly been the walkover it looked like after Pittsburgh dispatched Columbus and Washington in the opening two rounds.
Whether that continues will likely determine whether the Sens reach their first Cup final in a decade or the Pens go back a second straight year. He delivered with 24 saves on 26 shots as the Senators were held to two goals just a couple of days after racking up four in the first period.
The Thunder Bay, Ont., native hasn't started since April 6 - a stretch of six weeks - when he surrendered four goals in a win over New Jersey. Either way, I have to be ready. I forgot who came out in the lane, but he did a good job. "I know our line's been trying to play pretty simple and I think that's been beneficial for us". Penguins C Evgeni Malkin played his 140th playoff game, tying him with former Penguins star Jaromir Jagr for the franchise lead.
This one is going at least six games, and that's if one of the teams can win two in row for the first time. The one thought from those who knew Crosby best was to never bet against him in a big moment.
The cloudy goaltending situation has overshadowed another troubling trend that has nothing to do with who is in net.
Anderson finished with 25 saves.
Ottawa usually wins games by one or two goals but they came into Wednesday's contest knowing they had to create more offense, after failing to register a shot on goal for nearly 19 minutes in a game two loss on Monday.
Coach Guy Boucher isn't anxious the Senators aren't being given much credit. Now Mike Sullivan is hoping Murray can stop the bleeding and that Game 5 Sunday in Pittsburgh isn't an elimination contest. They need to show they are alive, much like they did after a deflating Game 6 loss to the Capitals. I think they're committed to the thankless jobs like winning puck battles and retrievals, getting to the net when we're shooting. Rookie Jake Guentzels nine playoff goals are tied for the league lead but he hasnt broken through against Ottawa.
The Senators' scoreless run on power plays continued.
"It's so tight", Predators coach Peter Laviolette said after a one-goal win over Anaheim earlier this week.
Were guilty of a bad start, but I think, as far as the goal scoring, I think, just keep going here, and well get the results we want, Crosby said.
The other challenge heading into Game 4 is that Crosby probably will see another steady dose of standout defenseman Erik Karlsson because Senators coach Guy Boucher has more control over matchups at home. "We've got to be playing on our toes".
Also out Friday night for the Penguins will be defenseman Justin Schultz (upper-body injury) and forwards Bryan Rust (upper body), Patric Hornqvist (upper body) and Tom Kuhnhackl (lower body).

Eating healthy sounds relatively simple, but with so many types of food readily available at the grocery store, it is easy to go overboard on calories or miss some important nutrients. I've done my share of research on nutrition and I've learned that one of the most important parts of healthy eating is a balanced diet. However, planning meals and counting macronutrients every day doesn't sound fun. With so many apps available for practically any purpose, I decided to find the best apps for eating healthy. I didn't know where to look at first, so a friend recommended I use a site called AppGrooves. After a quick search on their site, I found a top 10 list of the best healthy eating apps. You can see the full list here:
Best 10 Healthy Eating Apps by AppGrooves
I checked out some of the apps and reviewed my top 3 favorites.
MyFitnessPal – Rating: 4.6, Downloads: 50M+
An easy choice for my top picks is MyFitnessPal. This is your go-to meal tracker, with a variety of food logging options to make the process a breeze. I particularly like the fact that you can use a barcode scanner to quickly check nutritional content for countless food items and add them to your food log with a tap. The food database is huge with supposedly over 6 million foods from all over the world. I also like how MyFitnessPal syncs with other fitness apps and tracking devices to keep all your health information in one place.
When you are eating at a restaurant or cooking meals at home, finding nutritional information can be a little trickier. Thankfully, MyFitnessPal continually updates its database with menu items from a growing selection of restaurants. I also liked that I could easily enter my own recipes and the nutritional information was automatically calculated.
Pros: Barcode scanner, huge food database, syncs with other health apps and devices
Cons: No meal planning option, some recipes need manual input
Overall: Great for easily tracking your nutritional intake but not for planning your meals
Lifesum – Rating: 4.4, Downloads: 10M+
My second favorite is Lifesum. I found this to be an excellent choice for easily planning your meals. What I like about it is that you can easily customize food recommendations to fit your diet. Whether you are following a high protein diet, the ketogenic diet, a diabetic diet, or any other diet, you can easily set your preferences and get a variety of food options that fit your needs. Not only do you get personalized meal plans, but you can also keep track of your nutritional intake too.
Unlike my other two picks, Lifesum does not offer workout suggestions. However, the sole convenience of personalized meal plans is more than enough reason to include it on my list. Although I didn't see many options for vegan food, I found the meal suggestions to be varied and interesting. Hopefully, they will add more vegan options soon!
Pros: Plans meals, customized diet plans, tracks macronutrients
Cons: Few vegan recipes, no workout plans
Overall: Perfect for finding a meal plan that fits your diet, but look elsewhere for workout plans
8fit Workouts & Meal Planner – Rating: 4.7, Downloads: 10M+
Finally, my third choice is no other than 8fit Workouts & Meal Planner. Overall, I like how you get a complete and personalized fitness plan that includes both meals and workout suggestions. Like Lifesum, you can set your diet preferences and the meal plan is adjusted automatically. I also found the workout routines to be very practical and effective, with just 5-20 minutes needed to complete a session. You don't need specialized gym equipment, so you can complete them in the comfort of your own home.
Want to track a meal that was not part of the food suggestions? The food database is not as large as MyFitnessPal's, but you can always enter recipes manually to keep track of your intake. I also found that some of the more advanced meal planning features and workout routines require a subscription. However, the base version is available for free and you can also enjoy a free trial of the full version first to see if it is right for you.
Pros: Plans workouts and meals to maximize benefits, adapts to your diet, quick and effective exercises

The American Revolution started with a drumbeat at Lexington Massachusetts and ended with a drumbeat at Yorktown Virginia, six and a half years later. I do the drum presentation in the garb of a Militia drummer during the revolution using a reproduction, rope tensioned, drum of the size and type in use at the time. It is pictured above.
The presentation is about an hour is length and includes time for questions. It covers the significant drum signals used at the above events and the ones that governed the daily lives of the continental soldiers. Adults down to elementary aged youngsters can enjoy the information and history.
The drum presentation can be held indoors or out, although the drum needs to be muted in a small indoor space and will not sound as good as outdoors.

When it comes to Russia's political future, the only guarantee is uncertainty. Yes, on Sunday Vladimir Putin will be elected president of Russia for a six-year term, with a comfortable majority of the vote. Yes, too, huge numbers of demonstrators, probably more than a hundred thousand, will take to the streets the next day to protest.
What will happen after that, however, is difficult to predict.
Putin has been knocked off balance by the emergence of a large, mainly urban-based opposition demanding political reforms. But there is also reason to suspect that he will make changes in his foreign policy. True, when his return to the Russian presidency was announced last September, there was good reason to expect continuity more than change. For starters, it was easy then to assume that Putin approved of the foreign policy of his junior partner, President Dmitri Medvedev. More, it seemed at the time that Russia's economic challenges would command the majority of Putin's attention for the foreseeable future. Finally, there were strong incentives for Russia to improve its ties with Washington to balance against a rising China.
But now those propositions look highly dubious. Putin's latest campaign article, "Russia and the Changing World," makes clear that the so-called reset in U.S.-Russia relations is over, and that tough times lie ahead. Addressing his own question -- "Who undermines confidence?" -- Putin pointed at the United States and NATO, but especially at the Americans, who "have become obsessed with the idea of becoming absolutely invulnerable." Some may write off Putin's anti-American tone as campaign rhetoric, but it has become increasingly clear that his brash posture toward Washington reflects what he actually thinks about the United States and its foreign policy. In fact, Putin has long held these views.
Today it's as if Putin has dialed the U.S.-Russia relationship back to 2007, when he unleashed his anti-American diatribe at the Wehrkunde security conference in Munich. Then, Putin's anti-Americanism was angry and

Blessed Trinity have appointed their Anti-Bullying Ambassadors.
They are Year Seven - 10 pupils who showed an interest in tackling any potential bullying around school and are led by Senior Ambassadors, Year 10 students Madison Horne and Aaron Walker.
"The Anti-Bullying Ambassadors have attended a training day at Matthew Moss High School in Rochdale run by the Diana Award Team," said teacher Mr Isherwood, with the Diana Award a charity legacy to Princess Diana's belief that young people have the power to change their world.
"Their roles within school are to create a student-led approach to anti-bullying and they will meet with the Senior Leadership Team where they will put forward their plans to tackle any potential bullying within school although we are hoping they don't have to use their new-found skills.
"The best way to tackle problems is to plan for them and we hope to pre-empt any relationship issues by having the Anti-Bullying Ambassadors as highly visible pupil leaders in our school."

As I forced the mini-vomit back down my throat I thought to myself, these must be some die-hard yarn crafters, as I could not imagine that somebody else was doing this for them. Oh no, no...never fear. There is a service to meet every need. VIP Fibers is a Texas-based company who specializes in 'Mail Order Custom Handspun Yarn from Your Very Important Pets!' They do warn, however; 'Many dogs and cats have a fine and lustrous undercoat so suitable for spinning. It does not, however, have the crimp or elasticity such as found in wool from a sheep, and therefore is not suitable for all projects such as socks.' Yeah, because your feet didn't stink enough, now they'd smell like wet dog on top of it!
How, you may ask me, is this different than using any other natural fiber, such as wool or alpaca? Well, because the last time I pet a labrador or a freaky cat that was shedding everywhere, I don't remember thinking to myself "Oh my God, this would feel so luxurious in the form of a cozy sweater." It was more like "Sick, now I have to go wash my hands."
Yes, I agree that part of this is my own issue, as I have always been slightly grossed out by stray pet hair, and have to repress the urge to wipe stray hairs off of my pant-leg when Snookems rubs against me in their owner's presence. That said, I am not anti-animal or a proponent of shaved/hairless pets, and I understand that household pet hair is an unavoidable part of owning something that has fur and having them share your living space. HOWEVER, my understanding of that issue does not extend to the point of wanting to wear the animal, or make a sweet dream catcher out of it.
Even my friends who love their pets thought that the idea of this was gross, and I know that they own several lint rollers with which to 'de-fur' themselves before leaving the house. Honestly, when I read this blog post, I was almost waiting for a gotcha! at the end of it, but alas, I must just sit at my computer and silently shake my head shivering with repulsion at the thought.
One must admit that there is a slightly Hannibal-esque quality to it..."I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti." Except now, you wore your pet hair with some corduroys and a nice turquoise bangle.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Authorities investigating an 18-month-old Indiana girl's fatal fall from an open window on a cruise ship in Puerto Rico said Thursday they are considering many options, including the culpability of the cruise line.
As Chloe Wiegand's family accompanied the toddler's body home to Indiana, Puerto Rico's Public Security Secretary Elmer Román said "multiple angles" are being looked at in her death, including possible negligence by Royal Caribbean Cruises.
"That is part of the investigation. Once the result is determined, we will report," Román said, adding that exploring numerous possibilities is "part of the process" in such investigations.
Attorney Michael Winkleman has challenged a Puerto Rico police report that Chloe apparently slipped from her grandfather's hands Sunday as he held her out of an 11th-story window on the Freedom of the Seas. He has said she fell from a window that was inexplicably left open in a children's play area.
Winkleman said Chloe's family flew Thursday morning from the U.S. island territory to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and boarded a flight to Chicago with the toddler's body. He didn't say which of the girl's relatives were on the flights. Chloe had been on the cruise with her parents, two siblings and her two sets of grandparents.
A hearse with a police escort took them to their home in Granger, Indiana. Chloe's father is police officer in nearby South Bend.
"The family is relieved to be heading home so that they can grieve as a family and begin funeral preparations," Winkleman said in a statement. "The boundless positive thoughts and prayers they've received have been a ray of hope in this difficult time."
Román said he didn't know if the child's parents had been interviewed as part of the investigation, but said they were free to leave Puerto Rico. He said prosecutors have interviewed the grandparents.
The Associated Press left a message Thursday seeking comment from the cruise line.
Winkleman has said the window should have been closed securely and that he sees grounds for the family to file a civil lawsuit against Royal Caribbean Cruises.
The cruise line said Wednesday that it is assisting San Juan authorities in their investigation. The company called the girl's death a tragic incident in a statement Monday and said it was helping the family.
John Rice in Mexico City contributed to this report.

Bard Hernia Mesh Lawsuits Consolidated For Pretrial Proceedings in Federal MDL
Contact A Lawyer
Have A Potential Case Reviewed By An Attorney
The U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) has decided to consolidate all hernia mesh lawsuits filed nationwide against C.R. Bard, centralizing the cases before one judge for coordinated pretrial proceedings as part of a federal MDL, or multidistrict litigation.
In an order (PDF) issued August 2, a group of 53 Bard hernia mesh lawsuits currently pending in 21 federal district courts were identified were transferred to U.S. District Judge Edmund A. Sargus in the Southern District of Ohio for coordinated discovery and management. In addition, the panel indicated that there are currently another 69 potentially related actions pending, which will soon be transferred.
The lawsuits involve problems with Bard Ventralex, Bard Perfix, Bard Composix and other polypropylene hernia patch products sold in recent years. Plaintiffs raise similar questions of fact and law, alleging that design defects make the mesh prone to fail and result in the need for revision surgery within a few years.
As lawyers continue to review potential cases for individuals who have experienced hernia mesh complications in recent years, the size and scope of the Bard litigation is expected to continue to increase in the coming months and years, and it is ultimately expected that several thousand cases may be centralized before Judge Sargus.
Each of the complaints raise similar allegations that the design of the mesh products were unreasonably dangerous and defective, making them prone to fail and result in the need for risky revision surgery within a few years after the original hernia repair.
On April 10, a group of plaintiffs filed a motion to centralize the Bard hernia mesh lawsuits before a single judge in the Southern District of Ohio, as part of an MDL, or multidistrict litigation.
In complex product liability litigation where similar questions of fact and law are raised in complaints filed in various different U.S. District Courts, it is common for the JPML to transfer the cases to one judge for coordinated discovery into common issues, to avoid conflicting pretrial schedules from different courts and to serve the convenience of common witnesses, parties and the judicial system.
C.R. Bard and Davol indicated in June that it supports centralization of the hernia mesh cases, so long as any MDL includes all lawsuits over their polypropylene mesh products, including the previously recalled Kugel hernia patch, which plaintiffs argued should be excluded from this new MDL.
However, the JPML declined to address the Composix Kugel (CK) mesh cases in their decision.
"Whether to include the CK Patch cases in centralized proceedings is a question not currently before the Panel, as none of the cases on the motion involve the CK Patch," the transfer order states. "We will address this question in due course through the conditional transfer order process."
The panel ordered all of the cases centralized before U.S. District Judge Edmund A. Sargus in the Southern District of Ohio.
Hernia Mesh Litigation
In addition to Bard lawsuits, similar polypropylene hernia patch cases are being pursued over problems with the Atrium C-Qur patch and Ethicon Physiomesh, which have already been centralized as part of two separate multidistrict litigations (MDLs).
The Atrium C-Qur, pronounced "Secure", was approved by the FDA in March 2006, featuring a polypropylene mesh with an outer coating of gel made from 3 fatty acids. However, this design has been linked to reports of severe infections, allergic reactions and other problems.
Ethicon Physiomesh was introduced in March 2010, featuring a unique, multilayered design that was intended to improve performance. However, amid a high number of failures, an Ethicon Physiomesh recall was issued in May 2016, removing the product from the market worldwide. While the action was classified as a "market withdrawal" in the United States, the manufacturer has indicated that it will not be returning the product to the market.
There are currently about 1,200 Ethicon Physiomesh lawsuits and 471 Atrium C-Qur lawsuits pending in the federal court system, where they have been centralized before two separate judges for coordinated discovery.

Man jailed for 18 years for attempting to murder pregnant partner
A 41-year-old man jailed for attempting to murder his pregnant partner after repeatedly stabbing her in the street had been forced to choose between his Muslim mother's faith and the "love of his life".
Company director Babur Raja had also admitted attempted child destruction, possession of a knife in public and the wounding and assault of two passers-by in Sutton Coldfield's town centre on March 4.
He was jailed for 18 years at Birmingham Crown Court.
In mitigation, Raja's own barrister said his conservative Muslim mother "literally drove him mad" in the run up to the attack by forcing him to choose between her love and that of his partner, Natalie Queiroz.
Jane Humphryes QC added that this family turmoil "tipped him over the edge" leading to a temporary mental illness or "adjustment disorder", leaving him with little memory of what he had done.
She said: "His mother had not been happy he was in a relationship with a white woman, and told him he must leave her or she would not be in contact."
Ms Humphryes added: "This man of impeccable character is driven literally to distraction, forced by his own mother to choose between her and his chosen partner and their unborn baby."
In Raja's sentencing hearing at Birmingham Crown Court on Thursday, the judge had earlier heard how Ms Queiroz's breast implants "were probably what saved her life" during the frenzied assault.
Prosecuting barrister Benjamin Aina QC also told how had Raja plunged his knife just 2mm further into the abdomen of his helpless victim "it would have killed the (unborn) baby".
The court heard the child was born unharmed and was now doing well.
Sentencing Raja for his "merciless" assault on Ms Queiroz, Judge Simon Drew QC said: "Once you chose your mother over your partner and child, you resolved not only to terminate your relationship, but to terminate them."
He added: "This was a deliberate, pre-meditated attack designed to kill and destroy your partner and unborn child."
The judge also handed Raja an extension to his period on licence of four years.

Are Algeria getting their fair share of Lyon's talent?
The Lyon academy has been blessed with a plethora of Franco-Algerian talent over the last ten years. But have the Desert Foxes been missing out on too much potential talent?
There are several names that Ligue 1 side Lyon have produced over the past few years, most notably Karim Benzema who has now won three Champions League titles with Real Madrid, showing the extent of the quality that OL have produced.
Benzema has always said that his heart is Algerian, but he chose to play for France in order to have a better chance of winning trophies.
An upcoming star of the French league is Nabil Fekir, who has been scoring for fun this season. He infamously picked Algeria at first, before switching allegiance to the French.
So are Algeria getting treated harshly, and should they be doing more to get these Lyon players to pick the North African side at international level?
Of course, some of the talent to come out of the Lyon academy have picked Algeria. The likes of Yassine Benzia, Ishak Belfodil and Rachid Ghezzal all chose the country of their parents rather than the country that they were born in.
However, it does often feel as if Algeria miss out on the real top stars, and are left with the footballers that France do not want. And this needs to change rapidly.
On the other hand, history dictates that the Franco-Algerians who pick France often end up regretting doing so. As in Karim Benzema's current case, it looks as if he will never play international football ever again.
Rabah Saadane has come out in recent days and said that the Algerian FA will do all they can to convince Houssem Aousr to pick Algeria, who seems to be the next big star to come out of the Lyon academy.
We can only hope that the federation take the talent to come out of Lyon more seriously, and start getting these players on board at a much younger age before they filter into the French international youth system.
