The singer spent the afternoon with Milena Giordano, in the Neapolitan boutique of Michele Franzese Moda
A Neapolitan afternoon to discover the new collections of Tom Ford: clothes, bags and shoes designed once again by the golden man of Gucci, the stylistic heir of Yves Saint Laurent, undoubtedly one of the trendiest names in fashion contemporary system.
Leading Emma Marrone on a real virtual tour of the latest creations of the Texan designer, but also among the collections of numerous other luxury brands in the boutique in via Morelli in Naples by Michele Franzese Moda, was in fact one of the most internationally accredited: Milena Giordano, not by chance one of the few Italian to have been invited to the American show of Tom Ford.
With her, the singer has reviewed all the current proposals of women's clothing, rigorously inspired by a powerful vision of modernity that always focuses on extreme feminine glamor, with exquisitely crafted and majestically finished fabrics both day and night.
And the result, as we can see from the photo that portrays them together, is not only a fabulous dress but also a satisfied smile on Emma's face, evidently gratified by the image reflected in the mirror.

Bad language
General Tax
In November 2009, the House of Commons Public Administration Committee (PAC) published its report, Bad Language: The Use and Abuse of Official Language. HMRC received a special mention for this gem (which came from a letter to a taxpayer):
'Thank you for your Tax Returns ended 5th April 2006 & 2007 which we received on 20th December. I will treat your Tax Return for all purposes as though you sent it in response to a notice from us which required you to deliver it to us by the day we received it'.
In my line of work I get letters like that from HMRC quite often.
In 2002 an NAO investigation found that difficulty in completing forms was a major reason why pensioners did not apply for benefits available to them. Wearing my other hat as a Judge of the Upper Tribunal, I read these forms and they are, in many cases, masterpieces of misleading simplicity.
Making official forms more understandable (which is not the same as simpler) could have clear benefits for government. HMRC have estimated, for example, that around £300 million is lost in underpaid tax each year due to unintentional errors by taxpayers when completing their self-assessment forms. (They remain strangely coy when it comes to estimating the extent of errors leading to overpayment of tax.)
The PAC Chairman, having quoted Orwell's comment that political prose 'consists less and less of words chosen for the sake of their meaning and more of phrases tacked together like the sections of a pre-fabricated hen-house,' started the process of taking oral evidence with the question, 'Does this drivel matter or does it just irritate us?'
Based on my experience while writing the second edition of my book on stamp duty land tax – or more specifically the three days I spent staring at one section of the Finance Act 2007, trying to make sense of it – my answer to the Chairman's question is a heart-felt, resounding 'Yes!' (Yes, it does matter and yes, it is also extremely irritating.)
In 1975, the Renton Report on The Preparation of Legislation commented (quite rightly in my view) that 'the legislative output of Parliament is often incomprehensible even to those who are most familiar with the subject-matter.' Some 20 years later, explanatory notes to accompany proposed legislation were introduced, with the aim of making things clearer to a non-specialist audience. Here's an example of an explanatory note produced by the Treasury in relation to what became section 24(1) Finance Act 2009:
'Subsection (1) explains that Part 2 of the Capital Allowances Act 2001 (CAA) has effect as if mention of the clause appeared in section 39 and mention of the clause and the 40 per cent rate appeared in the Table in section 52(3). This is because Part 2 will not actually be amended as the clause is only a temporary measure but all the provisions in Part 2 are to apply for the temporary period as if it was a new section in Part 2.'
Well I'm glad they cleared that up. Thanks, guys.
In giving evidence to the PAC, Matthew Parris suggested that mockery served a useful purpose in reducing the extent of official bad language. Somehow I don't think that approach would go down too well with HMRC.

BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA — Some like to live on the edge of chaos, to feel the heat of the fire as they approach but never touch. Local bartender Dana Mitchell embodies this spirit.
"No thanks, I'm all good," she said to the barback with one hour until close. "This ice will get me through."
The barback backed away slowly, as if she were a martyr of the shift and it were the last time they would ever see her again.

American dance company, Tickle the Sleeping Giant, led by choreographer Trajal Harrel, performs its work "Twenty Looks or Paris is Burning at the Judson Church" January 7, 8, and 9 in the GAM Cultural Center during the International Festival of Theater "Santiago a Mil."The group, originally from New York, is characterized by a style that is innovative, provocative, and extravagant — in which movement flows restlessly, and transforms and transgresses in its search for answers.
Choreographer Trajal Harrel graduated from Yale University and has presented his rapturous vision on a diverse set of stages. His works are always oriented around the same focus: to conceptualize what a fusion between the postmodern dance of Judson Church—founded by renowned choreographer Trisha Brown—and voguing (a dance that takes the movements of runway models, who in the sixties symbolized rebellion and class warfare, and where the codes of fashion were challenged) would have been like.
The work that brings Harrel's dance company to Santiago, with the co-sponsorship of the U.S. Embassy in Chile, is an original piece by the group called "Antigone Sr." The showpiece exhibits a rather theatrical choreography that includes parliaments, and where voguing is presented in the face of Hellenic culture. In the piece, the five dancers—of which Harrell is one—take the work of Sophocles as a platform for exploring the femininity of the Greek figure and showing through her figure the inequality, politics, and contemporary popular nexus through which voguing becomes park of the Greek essence.

"Take Care of Your Self" is a research-creation project that explores the potential for transcultural dialogue and engagement through the concept of "Care-full curation." To explore these ideas through research-creation I organized a week-long exhibition and series of events held during the summer of 2017 in Montreal titled "Take Care of Your Self: A Transcultural Art Event". The exhibit, in which I was both participating artist and curator, featured work by 27 artists of colour, or "othered" artists from diverse communities. The exhibit sought to explore how notions of self-care, self-determination and healing have conceptually informed artists from a wide range of cultural orientations who are dealing with complex issues of personal, social and political struggle.
Through care-full curation, my intention was to foster counter-narratives to the existing structures perpetrated by mainstream media that keep our diverse struggles separated, and to create a safe space illustrated by artworks and conversations on the subject of self-care and struggle. In this paper, I draw on the concept of self-care as it is articulated and practiced in Black feminist thought and contemporary social movements. I explore how empowerment can be integrated into an approach of critical curation and intersectionality. I also locate the exhibit and series of events in the larger framework of self-care and art as a method of transformative transcultural convening. I position my own practice as an artist-curator through both theory and method by highlighting the process, goals and outcomes of the exhibition "Take Care of Your Self".

Jailed leader of Your Black Muslim Bakery launches Web site
Yusuf Bey IV, jailed leader of Your Black Muslim Bakery, is reaching out from his cell to tell the world that he's not responsible for the shooting death of Oakland Post editor Chauncey Bailey. And he's using cyberspace to do it.
Your Black Muslim Bakery members ordered to stand trial in kidnapping, abduction of women
OAKLAND — A Superior Court judge late Friday afternoon ordered former Your Black Muslim Bakery leader Yusuf Bey IV and three co-defendants to stand trial on charges of kidnapping and torturing two women last year.
Chauncey Bailey remembered by family, friends on the one-year anniversary of his death
OAKLAND — Prayers, protests and unanswered questions marked the one-year anniversary of journalist Chauncey Bailey's killing Saturday as his family and friends called for peace in this violence-marred city and former members of Your Black Muslim Bakery demanded more accountability from police and the media.
The Oakland Project
The Chauncey Bailey Project is the biggest journalistic show of force since 1976, when reporter Don Bolles' car was blown up by a bomb while he was investigating organized crime in Phoenix.
Remembering Chauncey Bailey
COMMENTARY – Chauncey Bailey will be remembered as a fierce advocate for the African-American press and community, a loving father, a visionary media businessman and a friend of New America Media/Pacific News Service for more than 20 years.
Questions linger a year after Bailey slaying
Questions still linger surrounding the brazen murder of veteran journalist Chauncey Bailey as he walked down an Oakland street one year ago.
First anniversary of Chauncey Bailey's murder: impunity still prevails
On the eve of the first anniversary of Chauncey Bailey's murder, Reporters Without Borders is very disappointed that the investigation has not made any progress. The press freedom organization is launching a petition calling for "Justice for Chauncey Bailey" and urging the Attorney General of the United States of America to take the lead in the case.
Who killed Chauncey Bailey?
Richard Prince's Journal-isms: The Maynard Institute and the Chauncey Bailey Project recognize August 2, 2008, as the one-year anniversary of the murder of Chauncey Bailey.

The GM Fairfax Assembly and Stamping Plant currently covers roughly 3.2 million square feet and once the construction stemming from this $600 million investment is complete, Fairfax will have around 3.7 million square feet on which to build new vehicles. This construction will take roughly 2 years to complete and thanks to the nature of this construction, there will be no impact on production schedules so the 3,877 hourly and salaried employees at Fairfax wont have to deal with any down time during the building or upgrade processes.
The most substantial portion of GM's most recent $600 million investment is the addition of a new high tech paint shop facility that will have more of a positive impact on the environment than it does on the American automaker's bottom line. Overall, the new paint shop at Fairfax will have a 20% smaller "footprint" on Mother Nature with somewhere in the area of 50% less energy used per vehicle produced at the plant. This includes new GM patented radiant tub ovens used for the paint curing process that will use 20% less natural gas and 40% less electricity than older ovens. Also, this new paint shop and the high tech tooling within will produce less harmful waste as a result of the painting process so while using less energy to do the job – less toxins are created during the painting and curing process.
"This major investment is a vote of confidence in the employees and leadership of this plant and will allow them to continue producing beautiful, world-class vehicles like the Chevrolet Malibu and Buick LaCrosse – with the same quality workmanship that has defined the Fairfax complex for nearly 70 years," said GM Chairman and CEO Dan Akerson.
In addition to the new paint shop at the GM Fairfax Kansas facility, the onsite stamping facility will receive a new press that is more accurate so it creates less waste during the production process. This new stamping press is also expected to improve overall quality so when combined with the paint shop and the tooling upgrades that come as part of this $600 million investment – the vehicles built in Kansas will have less impact on the environment during the production process.
The Buick LaCrosse and the Chevrolet Malibu that are currently built in the Fairfax Assembly and Stamping Plant are both very efficient thanks to their eAssist and Hybrid packages so now these two popular GM sedans will not only being environmentally friendly while being driven – they will be just as easy on Mother Nature before they are ever driven a mile. Fairfax built 283,213 vehicles in 2012 and with the growing popularity of these two models, the Kansas facility will likely only get busier in the coming years. Thanks to this massive investment, GM will be able to build all of these vehicles with less toxins released into the atmosphere.
The decision to invest $600 million in the Fairfax Assembly and Stamping Plant is the latest in a long list of major investments in the Kansas plant made over the past ten years. In 2003, GM invested $722 million to build the 2004 Chevrolet Malibu while another $651 million went into the facility in 2006 to build the Saturn Aura. 2007 brought $208 million more for the 2007 Chevrolet Malibu and in 2009, the company poured another $158 million into Fairfax to prepare for the Buick LaCrosse. In 2010, GM invested $136 million to build the latest Malibu while $20 million was invested in 2011 to equip the Buick LaCrosse with the eAssist technology. When you factor in the $600 million for the new paint shop and stamping machinery – GM has invested roughly $2,495,000,000 in the thriving Kansas plant since 2003.
"General Motors is one of the largest employers in Kansas and Kansas City and this announcement plays an important role in continuing to grow the economy of Kansas," said Kansas Gov. Sam Brownback. "We build great things in Kansas and GM's commitment means we will continue to do so for years to come."

There are now more than 112,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases and death toll reached 2,026 in the United States, according to Johns Hopkins University.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said his state's cases grew 26% in one day, even with 65,000 test results pending.
President Trump told reporters today he is considering a mandatory quarantine and travel ban on New York City. He may also impose quarantines on New Jersey and parts of Connecticut. "Some people would like to see New York quarantined because it's a hotspot — New York, New Jersey, maybe one or two other places, certain parts of Connecticut quarantined," he said outside the White House.
The president and Defense Secretary Mark Esper were in Norfolk as part of a send-off for the Comfort, which is going to New York City to help the city combat coronavirus. Trump said the naval hospital ship is equipped with 12 operating rooms, 1,000 hospital beds, a pharmacy, an optometry lab, radiology, CAT-scan equipment, two oxygen-producing plants and a helicopter deck. "It's stocked to the brim with equipment, medicines and everything you can think of," he said.
Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine has asked for any manufacturers who can help produce critically needed personal protection equipment for the state's healthcare workers to contact his office. "If you are a manufacturer and you can make any of this stuff, we need to hear from you right away." DeWine said during a press conference Saturday. "We received our share from the national strategic stockpile. But just like every other state, it was simply not enough."

The U.S. has more confirmed cases of the coronavirus than any country in the world, surpassing China, where the pandemic began. There are now more than 85,000 cases in America and nearly 1,300 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University. (see interactive map below).
Nearly 12.2 million people watched Trump's briefing on cable channels according to Nielsen — plus millions more on streaming sites, and local news networks.
President Trump tweeted on Thursday evening that he had spoken to Chinese President Xi Jinping, saying he and Xi were "working closely together."
"Just finished a very good conversation with President Xi of China. Discussed in great detail the CoronaVirus that is ravaging large parts of our Planet. China has been through much & has developed a strong understanding of the Virus. We are working closely together. Much respect!"

Don't know if you caught the announcement this morning, but DataSift is now partnered with Tumblr to distribute Tumblr posts to all of their subscribers. Sure, you have heard of Tumblr, but maybe you don't know DataSift–it is time to learn. Because DataSift is the poster child of the stratification of the social media listening market. If you still think that social media listening is all about Radian6, it's time to look again.
I've been in this business for the last five years and I've seen a lot of changes. [Full disclosure: I've been a senior strategist for social media listening company Converseon since 2008.] Five years ago, social media listening was all about crisis management–and Radian6. Salesforce's purchase of Radian6 is still the biggest deal ever in this business.
But the Radian6 purchase was the last gasp of the fully integrated software stacks in social listening. Top to bottom, you bought it all from one vendor. Radian6 crawled the blogs, screen-scraped the message boards, contracted with Twitter for the firehose. Radian6 analyzed the data. Radian6 presented the dashboard of streaming messages and the dashboard that aggregated the metrics.
It's been changing ever since.
Now, you can use tools such as Tableau for your analytics dashboard. You can license Clarabridge or Lexalytics for your text analytics. [Full disclosure again: I helped design the text analytics technology that Converseon spun off as a separate company.] And companies such as DataSift and Gnip pump all the data in.
Which brings us to today's DataSift-Tumblr announcement. Why should you care? Because this stratification of social media listening is truly allowing the best solutions to be brought together out of component parts. Cloud computing allows us to quickly and cheaply cobble together these pieces into what our clients really need.
But it's not just that marketers win because they can assemble best-of-breed solutions out of these piece-parts that bear the old integrated stacks. No, the bigger benefit is how this technology can be customized in ways that no vertical stack can support. Why stop at sentiment analysis when you can identify conversation within the steps of your own buyer's journey? Why settle for public data feeds when you can add your own private customer communities to the mix? Why accept the vendor's representation of the data when you can have a dashboard customized to the specific problems that you set out to solve?
Every time DataSift adds another data source, it is another step toward the stratification of the social media listening business. Don't look now, but we are nearing the end of the integrated stack era of most software–but especially social media listening. If you're settling for an off-the-shelf solution, your competitors probably aren't.

RuPaul ("RuPaul's Drag Race"), Jessica Williams ("The Incredible Jessica James") and Phoebe Robinson ("Broad City") are all preparing to create new television shows.
Variety confirmed Wednesday (August 9) that RuPaul will executive produce the tentatively titled "Queen" for streaming network Hulu. The comedy series "will present a fictionalized version of RuPaul's rise to prominence, beginning in 1980s New York [and] up to the present day as a world-renowned drag queen and global icon for the LGBT community," Variety reported.
J.J. Abrams ("Star Wars: The Force Awakens"), Ben Stephenson and script writer Gary Lennon ("Power") will executive produce alongside RuPaul. Neither Variety nor the involved parties named a production date or any prospective stars.

— Phoebe Robinson (@dopequeenpheebs) August 10, 2017
Robinson confirmed via the above tweet yesterday (August 10) that she and Williams will adapt their WNYC Studios' podcast, "2 Dope Queens," into four one-hour special episodes for HBO. The podcast often tackles race, gender and pop culture issues and features interviews with comedians from groups—women, people of color and LGBTQ people—rarely recognized in high-profile comedy programs.
"We are so stoked to be partnering with HBO for these specials," Williams wrote in a statement to Slate. "Excited to add a couple more Khaleesis to the network."
"The work wife and I are beyond thrilled that the formula we've perfected over the past four seasons of doing the podcast (Ignorance x Cocoa Butter + Comedic Honesty) is being brought to this network," Robinson added in the same statement. No word yet on an air date.

|To effectively carry out search and rescue, drug enforcement, fisheries enforcement, alien interdiction, and defense operations, the U.S. Coast Guard's Famous class medium-endurance cutters require a robust electronic navigation system fully integrated with the ship's command and control C2 system. Since 1995, the U.S. Coast Guard Command and Control Engineering Center C2CEN has been developing a fully integrated navigation system built upon the Department of Defense's Defense Information Infrastructure-Common Operating Environment DII-COE. The Coast Guard's requirements for an integrated navigation system are based on existing mission needs, international standards and specifications for electronic chart display and information systems ECDIS , and additional standards for warships developed by the U.S. Navy and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization NATO. The U.S. Navy has joined the Coast Guard in this development effort. The Navy will use the same software for the Navigation Sensor System Interface NAVSSI , scheduled to be installed on over 100 surface ships, and for the Navigation Data Distribution and Display ND function of the new Virginia class attack submarines. Over 150 Coast Guard cutters and Navy vessels will potentially be using this C 2 navigation system by 2003.

The London Index of Multiple Deprivation
The Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD) is a measure of the "deprivation" of any given area. A combination of indicators covering a range of economic, social and housing issues, allow for a single deprivation score to be constructed, and these scores are then ranked. The data for the 32,482 Lower Layer Super Output Areas (LSOAs) that make up England was released in March 2011 for the 2010 IMD. This showed the rank of each LSOAs deprivation, ranging from 1 to 32,482. Fortunately due to a similar methodology being used to construct the 2010 IMD, it possible to compared it with the previous IMD released in 2007. Instead of focusing on a national scale I have re-ranked the data for London's 4,765 LSOAs for both the 2007 and 2007 IMDs. Each of the 4,765 LSOAs have had their new ranks split into deciles, which is what is displayed on the maps below. This means there are roughly 476 LSOAs in each decile, or one tenth of all the areas in the dataset. Move your mouse over the picture, to swipe between the 2007 and 2010 London IMD.

WireGuard VPN Protocol Powered by IPVanish
Smarter, faster, and more secure than any before, the WireGuard® VPN protocol is a connection type for the modern era.
"[The] WireGuard option has electrified speeds"
"It's now one of the fastest services we've tested"
"Fast enough for high-speed browsing and HD streaming"
"Placing it at the top of the list of the fastest VPNs"
What is WireGuard?
WireGuard is the latest advancement in VPN connection methods. An open-source security project designed to be a faster, safer, and more power-saving protocol than both OpenVPN and IKEv2, it's quickly becoming the new industry-standard VPN connection type.
Not all virtual private networks offer WireGuard, but access to WireGuard is included with your IPVanish subscription. All users of the IPVanish VPN service have the ability to establish a WireGuard connection, provided they're using a compatible operating system and device.
WireGuard VPN Protocol Benefits
The immediate improvement you're most likely to notice with the WireGuard VPN protocol is faster connection speeds, but there are also technical advancements of this new protocol worth noting.
With WireGuard, you'll have powerful data protection. It's an open-source, security-first protocol that uses modern cryptography implemented in a safer, more efficient way than other connection types.
WireGuard development emphasizes reliability. It stays connected in poor connection quality situations where other VPN protocols would falter, even switching from a mobile network to Wi-Fi.
A shorter code base is a major component of the WireGuard project. It lowers power consumption and creates a smaller attack surface, making it easier to audit for security vulnerabilities.
Engineering optimizations to both the code and cryptographic implementation have made WireGuard 3x faster than IKEv2 and 10x faster than OpenVPN.
How to Set Up a WireGuard VPN
Setting up the WireGuard protocol is simple with IPVanish, but the process varies according to your operating system.
To get started you'll first need to sign up for an IPVanish subscription, and then download the IPVanish VPN app. WireGuard is compatible with many operating systems, from mobile devices to desktops, laptops, and even streaming devices. It's available on our Windows VPN app, Android VPN app, Mac VPN app, iOS VPN app, and Fire TV VPN app.
Refer to the device-specific instructions below to configure WireGuard on your operating system.
- Open the IPVanish app on your Windows device, and log into your account.
- Make sure your VPN connection is inactive, then click the Settings menu icon on the left.
- Select the "CONNECTION" tab.
- Click the "Active Protocol" dropdown and select the "WireGuard" option.
- Open the IPVanish app on your Android device, and log into your account.
- Make sure your VPN connection is inactive, then tap the hamburger icon in the top left corner.
- Next, tap the Settings menu icon, then tap on the "CONNECTION" tab.
- Select "WireGuard" from the "Protocol" list.
- Open the IPVanish app on your Mac device, and log into your account.
- Make sure your VPN connection is inactive, then click "IPVanish VPN" on the menu bar next to the Apple icon.
- Click "Preferences," then click the "Active Protocol" menu.
- Select the "WireGuard" option from the list.
- Open the IPVanish app on your iPhone or iPad, and log into your account.
- Make sure your VPN connection is inactive, then tap the Settings tab on the bottom of the screen.
- Under "Connection", select "WireGuard" next to "Protocol."
Fire TV
- Open the IPVanish app on your Fire TV device, and log into your account.
- Make sure your VPN connection is inactive, then click the Settings cog on the right.
- Scroll through the menu and select the "VPN Protocol" option.
- Select the "WireGuard" option from the list.
WireGuard vs OpenVPN
For years now, OpenVPN has been considered the premier VPN protocol. But with the recent emergence of WireGuard, is that still the case?
Generally speaking, WireGuard is now the top choice for VPN protocols. But WireGuard and OpenVPN each have their own strengths. WireGuard is a better choice for users who prioritize speed and security, as well as those looking to establish mobile VPN connections. It's also easier to audit, as its underlying code is much simpler and shorter than OpenVPN.
OpenVPN, however, is a great choice for privacy, especially because of its ability to bypass deep packet inspection. In many cases, WireGuard is the best bet, but ultimately, deciding which protocol to use often depends on the scenario. Check out our WireGuard vs OpenVPN comparison guide for a full breakdown of the pros and cons of each.
WireGuard VPN Protocol: Frequently Asked Questions
All VPN plans include:
- Advanced encryption
- Unmetered device connections
- No data transfer caps
- Servers in 75+ regions
- Shared IP addresses
- Verified no-traffic logs policy
- Proxy web server

The saga of walkable shoes continues:
On Monday, I gave my Dansko strappy sandals a try. I walked to the train station, around work, and back home again and my feet and toes were not in agony! Huzzah! So I wore them again on Tuesday. By the time I got to work a small water blister had formed on my left pinky toe. Gah! So today I decided to give up on sandals completely and wear a pair of dansko shoes, with actual laces. This was the best decision I made ALL WEEK. I haven't had to think about my stupid feet at all today because they are NOT IN PAIN. Maybe I'm just not meant to wear cute strappy sandals. At least not to walk a couple of miles in.
In non shoe related news, we went to meet our old landlord for lunch at the Falafel Drive-in (tasty, tasty falafels) on Sunday and ended up talking to this nice couple sitting at the table next to us about their biodiesel Volkswagen. It turned out I went to junior high school with the husband (roughly 20 years ago). My world just keeps getting smaller and smaller, but I'm totally okay with that. Especially when it means I'll run into nice people at the Falafel Drive-In.

The Bush administration will attempt to calm Turkey down after a congressional panel's approval of a measure describing as genocide the extermination of hundreds of thousands of Armenians in the beginning of the 20th century. The genocide of Armenians from 1915 to 1917 became the first genocide of human beings in the 20th century.
After the Foreign Affairs Committee of the House of Representatives defied warnings by President George W. Bush with 27-21 approval Wednesday to send the measure to the full House for a vote, the administration will now try to pressure Democratic leaders not to schedule a vote. If the measure is brought to the floor for a vote, it is expected to pass.
Hours before the vote, Bush and his top two Cabinet members other senior officials made last-minute appeals to lawmakers to reject the measure.
"Its passage would do great harm to our relations with a key ally in NATO and in the global war on terror," Bush said a few hours before.
Afterward, it fell to State Department spokesman Sean McCormack to enunciate the government's dismay at the event.
He expressed continued strong opposition and said passage of the resolution would gravely harm U.S.-Turkish relations and U.S. interests in Europe and the Middle East.
"The United States recognizes the immense suffering of the Armenian people due to mass killings and forced deportations at the end of the Ottoman Empire," McCormack said in a statement. "We support a full and fair accounting of the atrocities that befell as many as 1.5 million Armenians during World War I, which H.Res. 106 does not do."
Following Wednesday's vote, U.S. Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns said he would call the Turkish ambassador to Washington, and that Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice would talk to Turkish leaders Thursday.
In a statement, the Turkish government said it "resents and condemns" the House vote.
"It is not possible to accept such an accusation of a crime which was never committed by the Turkish nation," the statement said.
"It is blatantly obvious that the House Committee on Foreign Affairs does not have a task or function to re-write history by distorting a matter which specifically concerns the common history of Turks and Armenians."
U.S. diplomats have been quietly preparing Turkish officials for weeks for the likelihood that the resolution would pass, and asking for a muted response.
Burns said the Turks "have not been threatening anything specific" in response to the vote, and that he hopes the "disappointment can be limited to statements"insteadof punitiveaction.
"The Turkish government leaders know there is a separation of powers in the United States, that today's action was an action by the House Foreign Affairs Committee, that this was not an action supported by President Bush and the executive branch of our government."
The Bush administration has expressed concern that the vote could lead to Turkey cutting off crucial supply lines to Iraq.
U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates said ahead of the vote that 70 percent of U.S. air cargo headed for Iraq goes through Turkey, as does about one-third of the fuel used by the U.S. military in Iraq.
"Access to airfields and to the roads and so on in Turkey would very much be put at risk if this resolution passes, and Turkey reacts as strongly as we believe they will," Gates said.
The vote also came as Turkish warplanes and helicopter gunships attacked suspected positions of Kurdish rebels near Iraq on Wednesday, a possible prelude to a cross-border operation that the Bush administration has opposed. The United States, already preoccupied with efforts to stabilize other areas of Iraq, believes that Turkish intervention in the relatively peaceful north could further destabilize the country.
Turkish officials said after the vote that they would focus their efforts in Washington on persuading lawmakers to put off a further vote. But Turkish Ambassador Nabi Sensoy said Wednesday's vote already damaged relations.
"There is no doubt that there will be a setback in our relationship," he said after the vote.
The committee's vote was a triumph for well-organized Armenian-American interest groups who have lobbied Congress for decades to pass a resolution.
Following the debate and vote, which was attended by aging Armenian emigres, who lived through the atrocities in what is now Turkey in their youth, the interest groups said they would fight to ensure approval by the full House.
"It is long past time for the U.S. government to acknowledge and affirm this horrible chapter of history - the first genocide of the 20th century and a part of history that we must never forget," said Bryan Ardouny, executive director of the Armenian Assembly of America.
Though House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, a Democrat, is likely to come under intense pressure from the administration, she has signaled that they will have a hard sell.
Pelosi and the second-ranking Democrat in the House, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, met Wednesday with Ambassador Sensoy but emerged from the meeting unconvinced. Hoyer told reporters he expects a floor vote on the measure before the House adjourns for the year.

You walk in a hotel or casino at any time to get to your room, play games, see a show, or dine at a restaurant. In any case, you should be safe from dangerous conditions on their floors that cause slip & fall accidents. A slip & fall accident is a serious matter that can cause you injury, not embarrassment. So instead of quickly leaving, ask to get medical attention and fill out a slip & fall accident report with the hotel or casino as soon as possible.
What Are Slip & Fall Accidents?
A slip & fall accident is a claim based on a person falling on another's property because of a dangerous condition that results in injury. A dangerous condition presents an unreasonable risk of injury to a person on the property. Dangerous conditions include torn carpeting, a broken sidewalk, or a wet floor. Slip & fall accidents can cause broken bones, sprained ankles, spine damage, or traumatic brain injury.
What Should I Do After a Slip & Fall?
Do not feel embarrassed and quickly leave after a slip & fall. You may discover later the fall seriously injured you. Without documenting your accident, you may have a hard time holding the hotel or casino responsible for compensating your losses.
Protect your rights after a slip & fall as soon as you can:
- Take pictures of the dangerous condition that caused your injury, like the liquid on the floor.
- Ask for contact information of any witnesses to the accident.
- Also, request to fill out an accident report with the hotel or casino.
Slip & Fall Accident Reports Are Important
Most hotels and casinos document accidents with accident reports. Accident reports are important because they can prove what caused your accident. Furthermore, a report can establish whether the hotel or casino knew of the dangerous condition that caused your injury. These are critical issues for your claim. By freshly stating the time, the specific location and what happened before and after the accident, you're establishing the facts you need to build a strong claim. Most importantly, request a copy of the accident report for yourself or take a picture after completing it.
Talk to a Personal Injury Attorney
Obtaining an accident report after a slip & fall at a hotel or casino is a great first step to protecting your right to compensation. But all slip & fall accidents are unique, and your case can benefit from the perspective of an experienced Las Vegas personal injury attorney. At Sam & Ash Injury Law, we will pick up your claim from where you started and continue to fight for your best settlement because you deserve What's Right.

Key Points
- Fideres's investigation found preliminary economic evidence to suggest widespread wage suppression in occupations within the healthcare and fast-food sectors between 2012 and 2016.
- Specifically, we have found evidence of wage suppression for nurses, radiologists and food preparation supervisors in over 30 US states.
- Highly concentrated industries, restraints caused by specialized qualifications and low unionization rates may facilitate wage suppression induced by anticompetitive measures such as 'no-poach agreements'.
No-Poach Agreements
While stagnating wages can be a result of competitive forces, they can also be indicative of anticompetitive behavior between colluding employers. One way employers can collude are via no-poach agreements, whereby competing firms typically agree not to solicit or hire each others employees.
In recent years, no-poach agreements have drawn increased scrutiny, particularly in the healthcare and fast-food sectors. Notable recent filings in these sectors include Seaman v. Duke University et al. and Stigar v. Dough Dough, Inc, et al. respectively.
Moreover, in July 2018 seven large fast food chains including McDonald's settled with the Washington State attorney general's office to remove no-poach provisions from franchise agreements.
Despite continued filings and settlements, by nature these agreements are often hard to uncover without insider information. As a result, Fideres has developed a methodology that utilizes a combination of plus factors and sector-specific wage data to identify occupations in which wages may have been suppressed by no-poach agreements.
Plus Factors Analysis and Wages
Are certain occupations more vulnerable to anticompetitive no-poach agreements?
'Plus Factors' are criteria that, if met, not only make no-poach agreements easier to implement and enforce, but increase the potential severity of wage suppression if implemented. Examples of these criteria include:
- A highly concentrated industry: in concentrated industries with a small number of employers, such agreements are easier to arrange and implement
- Qualifications constraints can restrict employee movement between states within a given industry. For example, a nurse typically cannot practice in different states without having multiple licenses
- Previous wage suppression cases filed within the same sector, but in another state for example
- Franchising agreements, such as those observed in the fast-food sector, can have terms written into them that prevent franchises from hiring each others employees
After screening over 700 occupations, our model flagged nurses, radiologists and food preparation supervisors as having experienced significant wage suppression, relative to state wage benchmarks, in at least 30 states from 2012-16. These occupations also met at least one plus factor criteria.
|No. States with Estimated Wage Supression
|Registered Nurses
|Radiologic Technologists
|Licensed Practical and Vocational Nurses
|First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation/Serving Workers
In some states, wage growth for registered nurses was almost 10% lower than the state wage average.
Estimating Size of Suppression
While a sophisticated wage suppression model would require firm-level payroll data to calibrate, our current model utilizes public wage and employment data to estimate the size of wage suppression in the US. Accounting for state wage inflation and the number of employees within a given occupation, among other factors, we estimated the size of suppression for the previously outlined occupations.
|Estimated Size of Wage Suppression ($bn)
|Registered Nurses
|Licensed Practical and Vocational Nurses
|First-Line Supervisors of Food Preparation/Serving Workers
|Radiologic Technologists
These estimates are based on US-wide wage suppression, however wage suppression induced by a no-poach agreement may have a narrower geographical impact.
Model Application
While our model can estimate wage suppression at both national and state level, it is particularly useful at analysing suppression in metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs). This is due to the fact that it is often possible to attribute MSA wage data to salaries being paid by a small number of local employers.
In light of this, we decided to take a closer look at wages for occupations covered by a historical no-poach case involving hospitals within particular MSAs.
During the alleged class period, our model found three different healthcare occupations to have suffered from significant wage suppression in the metropolitan statistical areas in which the hospitals were based:
|Average Estimated Wage Suppression %
|Family and General Practitioners
|Health Information Technicians
|Nursing Assistants

In an ongoing campus tradition, the ASUC Office of the Academic Affairs Vice President, or AAVP, brought seven llamas to Memorial Glade for an event called "Llamapalooza" Thursday afternoon to help students de-stress as they prepare for their fall semester finals.
The AAVP's office first held Llamapalooza in spring 2018 when it brought six llamas and an obstacle course to Memorial Glade, an increase from the three llamas it had brought in previous semesters.
The llamas — which are "raised and treated incredibly well," according to the Facebook event for Llamapalooza — took a road trip to campus from a ranch in Sonora, Calif. The ranch and its team, Llamas of Circle Home, provide "Animal Assisted Activities" and have partnered with campus organizers for past events as well.
UC Berkeley alumna Ana Claire Mancia started the event and trained a "llama coordinator successor" to take over for her after her graduation, according to AAVP Aastha Jha, who added that Llamapalooza has become a successful tradition partly because of Mancia's "great coordination."
"There is an element of bizarreness to the fact that you can walk outside the library and pet a llama," Jha said in an email. "In times of high stress it becomes a fun light hearted way to take your mind off of academics."
Jha added that the "friendly and gentle" animals tend to ease tensions among students and that events like Llamapalooza remind them that the AAVP office supports their wellness.
Campus sophomores Abhinav Singh and Naveen Bahadur said they decided to take the long way to their electrical engineering class to view the llamas Thursday after remembering seeing them on campus last year.
"I thought it was a one-time thing until (Bahadur) told me they were here again," Singh said. "It's like a stress reliever, I guess, during end-of-semester finals season. So, I think that's kind of cool and it's a unique thing."
Campus freshman Sherien Maroufkhani said she was late to her discussion section in order to swing by Memorial Glade to see and pet the llamas for the first time. In addition to petting about three of the seven llamas present, she said she tried to take a selfie with one.
Maroufkhani added that unlike dogs, the exotic quality of llamas draws people to them when the animals are on campus. In addition, she said their fluffy fur entices people to pet them, which can be "soothing" and "therapeutic."
"During finals season, we're always just thinking about all the work we have to do," Singh said. "So, to take our mind off that, even for like a couple minutes just 'cause there's llamas. … It's kind of nice just to have our mind off of the stress."

This summer's major music festivals could be cancelled for 2021 by the end of this month, promoters have told MPs.
The Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) select committee heard from organisers of Parklife and Boomtown earlier today (January 5), as an inquiry into the future of festivals in light of the coronavirus pandemic began.
It comes after festivals in the UK suffered huge losses in 2020, unable to go ahead due to the global health crisis.
"If the government don't help with insurance then the smaller festivals are going to drop away," Sacha Lord, co-founder of Parklife, said. He also told the committee that vaccinations and mass testing would be key for events to be able to go ahead.
"Social distancing does not work at any of these events," he added. "It's a festival. You just cannot put social distancing in place, so we are anticipating that we will be operating at 100 percent [capacity]."
Anna Wade, director of communications and strategy at Boomtown Fair, said festival organisers would be in "absolutely dire straits" financially if they are unable to hold their events this summer too.
The measures needed to get gates open will also add huge numbers to their costs without government help, with Wade saying testing kits currently cost £10 each. For every attendee of the 66,000-capacity of Boomtown to be tested would cost an extra £660,000 for the festival.
According to Steve Heap, the general secretary of the Association of Festival Organisers (AFO), major music festivals would have to make a decision about their 2021 editions this month. Smaller festivals, however, could put off cancelling until April.
"If we get as far as Easter and we still don't know that crowds can gather at festivals, however large or small, then we are in a catastrophic situation with this year's season," he said.
However, Lord added that he was optimistic festivals would "bounce back" once COVID-19 was under control. "People want to go to a gig, whether it's a festival or a small grassroots venue," he explained. "The appetite is out there."
The session follows UK Music sharing a new report, Let The Music Play: Save Our Summer, this morning. The group said the report "outlines a clear strategy to protect and support the multi-billion pound live music industry so it is ready to restart when safe to do so later this year".
The report discussed the need for coronavirus cancellation insurance, an "indicative date for a full capacity restart", further financial support and more.
"While this pandemic is still raging and continues to cause devastation to lives and livelihoods today, there is an endpoint in sight," UK Music's Jamie Njoku-Goodwin said. "Government is rolling out the vaccine and is openly speculating about returning to normal by the spring – but there is a serious risk that even if this proves to be a reality, lack of notice and available insurance options will mean much of the 2021 summer music season can't go ahead."

Fashion brands' addiction to fossil fuels for synthetic clothes spell disaster for the climate, nature, and human health. A new report by Changing Markets called 'Synthetic Anonymous: Fashion brands' addiction to fossil fuels' exposes greenwashing and addiction of fashion brands to fossil-fuel-derived synthetic fibers. Analysis of major fashion brands finds 67% of clothes contain fossil-fuel-based fibers. An average of 59% of green claims by brands like H&M, Zara, Zalando, Asos, Forever21, and M&S is unsubstantiated or misleading. What's worse, fashion brands are asleep at the wheel when it comes to microfibres. Despite serious health harm already known, most are dragging their feet and waiting for more research.
Plastic Soup Foundation, together with a group of other environmental organizations, has supported this report and urges the fashion industry to make their clothes safe for the health of the environment and our own.

With so much excitement on their faces, I decided to contact Orton Travel Tour, a travel agency specialized in the organization of group excursions to the beach. It turned out that they had already carried out their September beach trip and were looking forward to another on Saturday the 12th of October, to the Lobe waterfall beach in Kribi, Cameroon.

My colleague and his families' olive oil production – the greenest and most intense olive oil I have ever tasted!!
One week ago I had the great pleasure to visit Angelo and his family in Sicily !
It was my intention to go personally and see with my own eyes where exactly the olive oil is coming from,
who we are supporting when we buy this oil
and especially – how the olive trees are treated !
It really was an amazing journey to feel the love and passion from Angelo's father towards his trees.
These trees are the heritage from his own father (whose name was Angelo!),
this is why he has a special connection with them
and this is why he is treating every plant with an attention as if it was his own child.
More than 2.000 – this is the number of "children" he is taking care of.
Every day in the year.
From the early morning at 7am until the late afternoon.
And sometimes – as now in the harvest time – even until the late evening….
until all olives have been transformed into this incredible intense and tasty olive oil…..
When we will use this olive oil – every day – on our dishes, we can thank Angelo's father.
– For the hard work he is doing. Every day. Outside.
– And for the love he is dedicating towards the plants.
– And for the job he is giving to 3 Tunisian workers who can feed their families in their country.
This is what we are supporting when we buy this oil.
Now, after this experience, I know.
During my stay in Partanna we attended a course of the
"Olive Oil Sommelier School"
where we tasted different olive oils from the region (all of the same type of olive) .
Also Angelo's olive oil was part of it!
It's the darkest and greenest one you can see in this video (for my personal taste it was also the most delicious one 🙂 ):
Angelo and his family are happy to make this olive oil for you !!!!!!!!!
Partanna, Sizilien, Oktober-November 2020.

Just recently, I performed a vitrectomy, or FOV, to remove floaters in the right eye of a 40 year old male. He has had longstanding floaters in both eyes, but had healthy eyes.
This case is different for two reasons; there is a huge "floater" and I am closing the sclerotomies and conjunctiva with 7-0 Vicryl sutures (stitches).
Sutures Require Extra Step
The sclera is the actual "white" of the eye. It is covered by a very thin and very translucent tissue called the conjunctiva.
In most cases of 25 gauge vitrectomy, I simply insert the trocars straight into the eye without the need for cutting away the conjunctiva.
This extra step is necessary when I choose to close the sclerotomies (the entry holes in the sclera) with sutures.
Once the conjunctiva has been opened, the vitrectomy system is installed in the usual fashion.
In other words, I have to get the conjunctiva out of the way to allow me to use stitches on the sclera.
PVD and Large Floater
This patient had already had a PVD in the right eye. There was no need to induce a PVD. Regardless, having a posterior vitreous detachment allows me to more efficiently remove more vitreous than without a PVD.
Having a PVD allows the vitreous to move toward my operating instrument versus my having to move my instrument toward the vitreous.
The floater is very large and actually never cleared his central vision. It was very easy to demonstrate on video. Most cases are more challenging to visualize the floaters.
Closing the Conjunctiva
After the vitrectomy is completed, I close the sclerotomies with sutures. The last step is to cover the sclerotomies with the conjunctiva, requiring two additional sutures.
In the video, you can see how one conjunctival flap is large enough to cover two sclerotomies, hence, only two conjunctival sutures are placed.
