Locals receive fraudulent calls
Nationwide investigations mired in international jurisdiction, overwhelming number of calls and ruses
Last Friday, Feb. 5, Kimball resident Jody Childress Hardin received a call that registered as Washington, D.C., on her caller I.D. The caller left a message on Hardin's answering machine, requesting her to return a call to them.
When the woman called the 202-499-1557 number, she stated that a person with a heavy foreign accent informed her that they were with the Internal Revenue Service, and that she was in arrears on her taxes in the amount of $2,015.00. Furthermore, she was advised that if she were to not pay these right away that they would call our local sheriff and have her arrest...

The response to POOP month has been overwhelming! Turns out Poop is everyone's favourite topic -- not just mine! Truth be told - I'm not surprised.
Poop is like sex. When it's good, it's gooooooood!
And when it's bad -- it just leaves you feeling grumpy & unsatisfied.
So, that's why on TUESDAY, JANUARY 10th, I'm launching:
This 2-week re-set is for people who want to kick off their New Year by getting rid of all their old gut-junk and starting fresh!
This is more than a detox. This is the poop and the dietary lifestyle you've always wanted!
And until January 31st, I'm offering it at a bargain of HK$450 (regular price HK$1200).
It includes:
- A two-week REALISTIC & DELICIOUS meal plan for improving digestion & facilitating detoxification PLUS dietary guidelines to follow so that you can keep to the plan even when travelling or out for business meals.
- Over 25 POOPtastic, family-friendly recipes for the meals suggested in the plan, specifically crafted for gut-healing and improving digestion.

Buy the programme on Tuesday and start it whenever suits you but DON'T kick off this promising year by procrastinating.
Pooping fabulously is a worthy goal for 2017!
Bad poops are often a symptom of stress, dehydration, digestive insufficiency, bacterial imbalances and/or infection (viral, parasitic or bacterial). Bad poops are also accompanied by other digestive discomforts: frequent bloating, burping, tooting, cramps and feelings of exhaustion particularly after meals.
This is no way to live!
Left too long, all these bad pooping habits lead to nutritional deficiencies because your gut gets unhealthier and more vulnerable to toxicity. As a result, your immunity is compromised and over time this could lead to serious illness. In fact, there is plenty of research that ties autoimmune diseases like hypothyroidism to leaky gut; and there is plenty of emerging research that even ties diseases like Alzheimers & Parkinsons to nutritional deficiencies that are rooted in a compromised digestive system.
So, don't let another day go by without fixing your poop! Go through these profiles now and let me know how your poopy crumbles.
1. NO POOP: If you regularly skip a day without going to the toilet - this is not normal and not good. Your gut needs a daily clean in order to stay healthy, make immune cells and serotonin. Constipation is a sign of food intolerance, dehydration, lack of fibre in the diet, lack of fresh fruits & vegetables and an excess of processed foods. Regularly constipated individuals have issues detoxing cholesterol, hormones and other fat-soluble compounds like heavy metals from their body. So if you suffer from high cholesterol, PMS, oestrogen-related illnesses or heavy metal toxicity -- an integral part of the solution is to get your POOP ON with my Reset Programme.
2. GOAT PELLET POOP: Those tiny round balls make such a splash but are actually the most unsatisfying of all poops. All that effort and out comes NOTHING. The Goat Pellet is almost always a sign of dehydration and my Programme goes head-to-head to transform this poop.
3. THIN POOP: Contrary to popular belief, thin poops do not happen when you eat less. Unfortunately, thin poops are generally the result of a food intolerance and/or the fact that you are stressed out of your skull and your gut is literally cringing. Lifestyle changes, like the ones I describe in my Programme, together with eliminating your highly inflammatory foods could make the world of difference.
4. MONSTER THICK POOP: These take a while to make their painful exit and are accompanied by heaves, grunts and fair amount of squinting. When they finally do emerge, you can't believe that your belly was ever able to house such a monstrosity and you immediately weigh yourself to see if you're actually a few pounds lighter. These Monster Thick Poops are generally not very smooth and look like a warty bitter gourd or boulderish clumps. They are a sign of constipation (see#1 above). This Programme prevents poop from getting impacted in the gut and taking too long to exit.
5. SLIMY, STICKY POOP: The kind that sometimes needs a little butt shake to let loose and leaves skid marks on the porcelain. Slimy, sticky poop is full of undigested fats and is generally foul smelling. You might notice mucous in it too. Slimy poop generally also floats to the point that it's embarrassingly impossible to flush down the bowl. Not to mention the amount of toilet paper you have to go through until you get a clean wipe! This poop is definitely the most antisocial of the lot. It is a generally a sign of pancreatic enzyme and bile deficiency and it needs sorting out. The GI MAP test helps you understand how strong your enzyme activity is. And that info together with the dietary, supplementation & lifestyle recommendations in my Programme could make your poop social again.
6. WATERY POOP: A.k.a diarrhea. If this is you regularly - you need a GI MAP Stool test ASAP. If this is you on and off for a reason you cannot specify - you also need a GI MAP Stool test ASAP. You might also need to do some food intolerance testing to determine if something like gluten or dairy (common culprits) is setting your off. However, you definitely need to rule out bacterial, viral and parasitic infection. Left unchecked, you can suffer from dehydration and severe nutritional deficiencies. Let's get you sorted.
Make 2017 your year for fabulous gut health. GET YOUR POOP ON with me today!
Sign up now and get Thrive's Signature POOPTASTIC Reset for HKD 450 with all the amazing discounts that come with it!
Offer expires January 31st, 3017. After that, it'll be on sale at the regular full price of HK$1200.

TF2 - Guide to the Engineer
Primary: Shotgun
Secondary: Pistol
Melee: Wrench
Other: Construction PDA
|Engineers are used to defend bases and passageways, as well as to supply and transport the team. With 125 hit points, the engineer wears a construction hat and team-coloured overalls and speaks with a stereotypical Texan accent. The engineer is able to build various structures through ''metal'' points to support the team: a sentry gun that can be upgraded through three stages of effectiveness, a teleporter matrix consisting of an entry and exit facility and an ammunition and health dispenser. While its ammunition supplies are infinite the dispenser requires time to regenerate metal supplies. Metal is collected from resupply points, dispensers, the weapons of fallen players and even the debris of destroyed structures. Engineers are armed with a shotgun and a pistol in addition to a monkey wrench that doubles as a melee weapon and the means to repair, upgrade, and speed up the building of structures.
(Construction PDA)
Sentry Basics
|Stage 1: This is the lowest stage in Sentry construction. This stage is not very effective against most of your opponents and should be upgraded ASAP. The stopping power at this stage is very minimal and shouldn't be considered a good defence.
|Stage 2: The second stage Sentry has excellent stopping power against all the lighter classes. This means anything under the Soldier and Heavy will have a hard time with this Sentry. Increased firepower and health make this turret a suitable defence.
|Stage 3: In this third stage the Sentry gets another upgrade to firepower, health and a mounted rocket launcher. It is effective against all classes and will finish any foe quickly.
Upgrading/Repairing/Un-Sapping a Sentry
Upgrading: It's a very simple process. In the bottom right-hand corner of your screen you will see a wrench and a number. This number indicates how much metal you have in your inventory.
To upgrade a Sentry simply take out your Wrench (Key 3) and swing away on your turret. Make sure you are close enough to make contact; it takes metal on metal to increase your upgrade progress. You can see the status of your upgrade in the info box in the upper left side of the screen or by manually looking at your Sentry as shown above.
Collecting metal is also a very easy task, the biggest metal resource for the engineer is the Dispenser but that will be covered in the next section. Other ways include simply go to the refill station where you spawn or by picking up the various weapons that players drop when they get killed. You can also pickup the spawned metal/ammo pickups that spawn on the map.
Repairing: When your Sentry becomes damaged, you will need metal in your inventory and a wrench in hand. All you need to do is hit your Sentry in the same matter as an upgrade to perform a repair.
Removing a Sapper Device: The same method is used to remove a Spy's Sapper device from a sentry/dispenser/teleporter. You have only a few seconds to save the device and usually you have to ''deal'' with the Spy first.
The Dispenser
|The Dispenser is greatly appreciated by any class. It can heal, refill ammo and give metal. To use the Dispenser simply stand close to it.
The two major downsides to the Dispenser are its slow heal speed and very low health. As an engineer you will need to protect your Dispenser because it won't take very many hits from anything before falling apart.
Dispensers and all of the Engineers products are all repairable in the same way as the Sentry Gun.
Strategies for an Engineer
Sentry Gun Placement: This seems to be that hardest thing for new engineers to understand. The placement of a Sentry can completely turn a game around or will let that pesky opposing team steal your Intel/Capture point.
Example of a BAD Sentry Position!
This is a terrible spot for a Sentry. The red sphere indicates your Sentry's FOV (Field of View). With a Sentry placed here, the enemy can easily take it out from a safe distance. They don't even have to leave the base to take this one out.
Example of a Good Sentry Position!
This spot allows very little room for the enemy to try and ''Squat'' your turret. Squatting is the term used for someone shooting your turret from out of its range, or bobbing in and out from cover. Engineers can do very little to a squatter so they often need the help of team mates to remove said problem. In context ''I have a Sentry Squatter in the Courtyard!'' and hopefully one of your teammates will come over and help you out.
|Dispenser Location: is very important. Usually an Engineer will use the dispenser to keep him in stock while under bombardment. The dispenser's very low health makes it a tough target to protect.
|From this angle the Dispenser has great coverage from anyone coming into the courtyard, this particular setup also makes a ''wall'' preventing spies from getting to you.
Always hide your Dispenser as best as you can from the enemy. Place it in nooks and crannies if your placing it for your team members so they will see it while heading for the battle but it will remain hidden from the enemy.
Engineers Best Friend
The best friend an Engineer can have other than his Sentry is the Pyro. With a Pyro nearby they can spray everyone that even comes close to you as a Spy check.
The 'S' Word
Spy is the word that can make any Engineer's blood boil! If they aren't stabbing you in the back they are Sapping all your toys!!
The best defence against spies is Spy checking. Just use your wrench, hit anyone that even tries to come close to your devices until you are satisfied that they are legit. Two to three hits with a wrench usually takes care of a Spy but play it safe.
Signs of Spies:
- Not shooting – Spies can't shoot their fake guns when they are in disguise. A lot of the time a team member will shoot at you and you just shoot right back. One shot is enough, this just lets both of you know that you are legit.
- Wandering or Squatting – Spies are always looking for an opportunity. They have to wait until the time is right so they can kill and not be seen by another team member. This often means that they are wandering around and will ''lock on'' to a legit player and follow him to a secluded area. Squatter spies usually find a corner and wait for a lone player or for an engineer to wander away from his sentry.
- Walking speed – Look for something that is a bit off. Scouts are the most obvious ones since the Spy walks considerably slower.
Duties as an Engineer
Your duty as an engineer is to provide a defence. This means that you cannot be wondering too far away from your sentry and preferably not at all. Some engineers can be a decent offensive; however they generally are best at holding a point.
Some maps require that your setup some teleporters to assist your offensive teammates. Maps like Granary can be won and lost due to teleporter locations. On some maps there is an immediate split in direction after the spawn point. Always inform your team of where you are putting the entrance to your teleporter so that they will not miss it.
Teleporter exits should be placed out of sight similar to Dispensers. You don't want your enemy to see these and make you lose your advantage.

|Good guide

|Nice work

|Nice one. I don't play that much as an engineer, but have played with him a few hours the last few days. I have noticed 2 extra things.
1. On some maps it makes sense to build tp-entrance, then reload at resupply, then go to place you want to defend, build exit, get an ammo-box (some give 100, some only 40) and build a sentry, then go look for metal for a dispenser. If you start building dispensers first, you'll be much slower, while in this way, you will have the first three up before the timer runs out.
2. Because of boredom i like playing an engineer offensively on cp maps. On most maps you can win the battle on a public server by getting a good spot, usually with an ammo box, close or even inside the enemy base. Build a sentry for temporary defense, then build a tp-exit and watch your friends stream into their base quicker than the enemy can.

|Some more great tips their m8
04 Nov '07 - 22:43
|On 2fort:
Place a sentry on the desk in your intel.room, covering both angles.
Next, place the dispenser on your intelligence on the desk as well. If a spy comes he'll be discovered when going for sapping dispenser, cos of picking up intel.
Stay down, kneel, yourself behind the desk, repairing the sentry. Sentry will cover you for inc attacks

Then we got in to a group of 2's.Cecilia was with me. Then I thought to my self " I am having fun, But I can't believe I am" Cecilia and I started hitting the shuttle forwards and back. We had a challenge who can keep hitting the shuttle with out letting it fall on the floor. We did try our best but we only hit it forwards and back 53 times. That was a challenge. A least we tired our best and didn't give up straight away. It was a lot of fun. But I have ever experience a thing like this. I did struggling a bit. But I had an amazing time.
I wish I could do that again! Maybe I might you ever know. I just want to say that don't judge the game by the name, because you ever know what it is like. Don't be me and think things are going to be boring, because it is always good to try new things.

One More Review of is He Dead for Broadway
Review of Is he dead make us wish to get the best tickets possible to the show that everybody seems to be talking about. The show is based on an adaptation of Mark Twain's work. The play had been written in 1898, but was published only as late as 2002.
Get Tickets To The Show
Many have purchased tickets after reading the review of Is he dead, a hit Broadway show. The show is about an artist, who fakes his own death. He resorts to take that desperate step due to the fact that he owes a lot of money and as a dealer had suggested that the current market is only for art work done by dead artists. The ensuing confusion makes for a most entertaining evening.
The play has been directed by Michael Blakemore, who has made this play immensely watchable. The costumes by Martin Pakledinaz …

First Harvey Weinstein, then Capitol Hill. Fall 2017 has had its fill of news about workplace scandals. While Hollywood and Washington D.C. may seem completely different than our less glamorous jobs, no industry is immune from the type of misconduct we have been hearing about. The stories are sickening. Yet, I also wonder about the incidents that never make headlines—the uncomfortable workplace scenarios for which there is no outright policy violation. What should someone do in these cases, especially when the instigator holds a position of power?
In my first job out of college, my manager's boss was what I would classify as a creep. He never violated any company policies, but his "innocent" comments—paired with his obvious stares—were telling. He made me uncomfortable, but nothing he did was "reportable." I absolutely felt my subordinate status, as well as my tender age of 22, so I ignored his behavior and tried to avoid him. My colleagues might have been dealing with the same thing, but no one talked about it. There were only rumors about his preference in hiring peppy, petite females.
Looking back, I wish I had felt more empowered to speak up, to respectfully convey how I felt. However, I imagine he would have stressed his innocence, and I would have walked away feeling stupid and doubting myself. Who knows how speaking up would have impacted my career. Whether a blatant offense or subtle innuendo, those at the receiving end do not always have good options. A recent CNN article about Capitol Hill makes this abundantly clear. In one way or another, victims are faced with consequences, even if they ultimately triumph.
What To Do
Back to my earlier question of what to do. I strive to offer blog posts with action items, but this time I do not have clear answers. We teach children about "stranger danger" and warn teens about online predators. I'm not convinced that there is enough dialogue with young people entering the work force about the improprieties they may encounter and what their options might be. We need to better prepare them because we cannot assume that employer policies and related training, no matter how strong, will protect everyone. I realize that workers of any age can be victims. I'm specifying young people because I believe this is when the education should begin—at the ground level. However, for anyone who experiences workplace discomfort due to another employee ("reportable" or not), the best path may be to consult with HR.
Last, but not least, I have to put in a word for the truly innocent people who are falsely accused. Unfortunately, there will always be a handful of people who take advantage of the system out of spite. I don't know what else to say. Being careful about the colleagues with whom we associate will not guarantee anything.
Final Thoughts
Commercial Card content will return for the next post. I was compelled to write about workplace misconduct this week because of my own mild experience that came flooding back to me while reading articles on the well-publicized scandals. I cannot imagine the pain that surely comes with greater ordeals.

Well, I guess technically it's less than one week. But still it feels like it'll be longer than one week because the Monday-Friday time span always moves a lot slower than the Friday-Monday time span. And it's not just because there are fewer days in the latter. It's because time actually moves slower when we're bored. It's a proven fact.
That last part was a lie.
But anyway, my birthday is this Saturday. I'll be turning the ripe old age of 23. This is the time of year that I use to rub in Sean's face the fact that I'm a lot older and more mature than he is. Eleven days so. His birthday is May 11.
Anyway let me know if you want my address so you can send me lavish gifts and hundreds of dollars in funny birthday cards. Just kidding.
That's the point though. Remember when it took forever to finally be your birthday? And your mom would ask you what kind of party you wanted and should it be a sleepover and you can only have 10 people over. And then you'd agonize about which 10 of your friends to invite because, heaven knows, you had millions. Except for in my case, I'd agonize over the fact that I only had 9 friends and so I'd act like I invited someone else from some place where my friends didn't know (like soccer or summer camp) and say that they just couldn't make it.
And you'd spend time picking out decorations (streamers and balloons and paper plates, oh my!), and helping decorate the whole house. And mom would either bake or buy a cake depending on whether she felt like being lazy or not spending any extra money.
As a side note, considering how many birthdays I had and how many birthday parties I went to, you think I would have figured out earlier in my life how much I didn't like cake. But when you're young and there's a sugary treat involved you don't say no. Except nowadays kids do because their parents instill in them this superiority in denying the food of the masses. "Oh, I can't eat cake. I can only eat gluten-free." My mom would have given that kid a glass of water. "Have fun then, kiddo."
Then your friends would come over and bring large packages wrapped up in whatever show/characters/movie/video game was popular. You knew a present was going to be good when the parents spent the extra money on popular wrapping paper as opposed to generic "Happy Birthday" paper. My Little Pony paper? Victory!
Then you'd eat cake and open presents and your mom would act more interested than you were in the presents that sucked. And she would remind you ever three seconds to say thank you. It was like an acceptance and denial program. "Easy Bake Oven! Awesome! We can still be friends. Coloring set? What am I three? You've been moved down the list, Susie. You're on notice for next year!"
Then mom would send you all outside to run the sugar out of your systems and hope that you don't destroy her house. All it took was one kid breaking one thing and the party was over.
Then kids' parents would come pick them up, and you'd play with all your coolest toys until it was time for dinner, and you'd rather have cake for dinner anyway.
But when you get older, birthdays aren't like that anymore. Apparently, your last fun birthday is your 21st where you go get schmammered and vomit crap-tons of money into the toilet the next day. And all you remember is the horrific hangover that was the result.
That's doesn't really sound like fun to me.
I don't remember how I spent my 21st birthday, but it wasn't because I was drunk. I didn't drink, and I still don't. That stuff is disgusting, y'all.
However, I do recognize that as people get older birthdays just become a reminder of how old they are. And then they get all negative about it. "I'm 29 for the fourth year." Just say you're thirty-something and move on.
Birthdays should always be fun. And you're never too old for a party, I say! I know I won't have a birthday on Saturday that resembles what my mom worked so hard to put together when I was younger, but I'm not going to be mad at time for moving on and myself for being one year older.
I'm still going to have fun. And not eat cake. Ice cream for the win.

Mayor of 1 million demands de facto gun ban
The mayor of a California city is proposing a controversial ordinance: require his constituents to carry liability insurance if they own a firearm, and even consent to searches of their homes.
Yesterday, Democrats launched their latest ploy to derail Brett Kavanaugh's appointment to the Supreme Court – but it may be dead on arrival.
Her fellow Democrats on the Senate Judicial Committee failed to trip up Judge Kavanaugh during last week's hearings, have failed to delay his confirmation (a committee vote is scheduled for September 20), and were unsuccessful in painting him as racist. So Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-California) announced on Thursday that she had obtained a secret letter from an undisclosed woman, who made an unspecified allegation about something that Kavanagh may or may not have done – in high school.
"I have received information from an individual concerning the nomination of Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court," Feinstein said in her surprise statement. "That individual strongly requested confidentiality, declined to come forward or press the matter further, and I have honored that decision. I have, however, referred the matter to federal investigative authorities."
The latter was confirmed by Senator Dick Durbin (D-Illinois), who said the letter in question had been referred to the FBI, which conducts background checks on Supreme Court nominees.
Where did it go from there? Nowhere, according to Fox News. "Upon receipt of the information on the night of September 12, we included it as part of Judge Kavanaugh's background file, as per the standard process," Fox quotes an FBI statement. And unless the White House requests that the FBI follow up on the letter's content, no investigation will occur.
Townhall columnist Katie Pavlich says the FBI has essentially "yawned" at Feinstein's "antics."
"... Feinstein's pathetic 11th hour stunt to stop Kavanuagh's nomination through character assassination quickly fell apart," Pavlich writes. "The letter wasn't new and Feinstein had it in July. With a tough re-election battle in far-left California, she chose to acknowledge its existence yesterday. Further, it was a big nothing burger."
The legal counsel for American Family Association agrees with Pavlich that Feinstein's decision to reveal the secret letter has politics written all over it.
"Don't think it's lost on me for a moment that Dianne Feinstein has lost the confidence of her supporters in California in the Democratic Party. Don't think it's lost on me for a moment that they are supporting her challenger because they don't believe Dianne Feinstein is regressive enough," says Abraham Hamilton III. "So what does she do to prove here bona fides? I will be the one to try to take down Judge Kavanaugh – with an anonymous letter."
The letter reportedly alleges sexual misconduct by Kavanaugh in the early 1980s during a party. The woman claims Kavanaugh tried to force himself on her and was assisted by one of his classmates. For his part, he has released a statement saying: "I categorically and unequivocally deny this allegation. I did not do this back in high school or at any time."
Gary Bauer of American Values says this is a political ambush by Senator Feinstein, who could have revealed the existence of this letter during the committee hearings.
"She waits until the hearing is completely over until more time has passed and then suddenly turns this letter over to the FBI at a time when the FBI is under observation about whether it has been contaminated with political influence," he tells OneNewsNow.
Bauer admits he isn't confident Kavanaugh will be confirmed.
"The atmosphere that exists on the left in the United States today goes beyond insane. We've seen physical violence; we've seen assassination attempts," he laments. "This is an atmosphere that resembles something unlike anything we've experienced in this country before. So I am not confident [of Kavanaugh's confirmation]. I think in this atmosphere some senators could become fearful [to vote to confirm]."
'Slimy' irony
Presidential advisor Dr. Robert Jeffress sees Feinstein's decision to come forward with this information as a desperate move by Democrats. "This is a slimy attempt by slimy Democrats to torpedo the Kavanaugh nomination," says the Southern Baptist pastor and longtime Trump supporter.
Jeffress adds that in a perverse way, it makes sense that Democrats are attempting to "#MeToo" the Supreme Court nominee. "The one reason the left wants to torpedo the Kavanaugh nomination is they are scared that Judge Kavanaugh might, in some way, make illegal the murder of 1.4 million children every year through abortion," he tells OneNewsNow.
And it's more than ironic, says Jeffress. "This is the hypocrisy of the left. They say they care about the abuse of women – but they don't care about the murder of hundreds of thousands of little girls in the womb through abortion."
Jeffress says it's important to engage. "His supporters need to ask for facts and not succumb to innuendo by accusers who refuse to come forward," he concludes.
If this isn't bribery, what is?
Meanwhile, a non-partisan ethics watchdog group is calling on the Justice Department to investigate a coalition of groups it says is trying to bribe a U.S. senator to vote against Kavanaugh's confirmation.
The Foundation for Accountability & Civic Trust (FACT) wants the DOJ to investigate three groups – Maine People's Alliance, the Mainers for Accountable Leadership PAC, and Be a Hero Fund PAC – for illegally running a crowdfunding website, the proceeds of which are meant to bribe Senator Susan Collins (R-Maine) over her upcoming vote on the confirmation of U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.
Kendra Arnold, executive director of FACT, spoke with OneNewsNow. "I never thought I'd be talking about groups offering a million dollars in order to change a senator's vote – but that's exactly what is going on here," she shares. "These three groups have gotten together [and] they've created a crowdfunding website and ... raised over $1.2 million."
And according to Arnold, the groups have given Senator Collins an ultimatum.
"... They are directly telling [her] if she votes 'no' on Judge Kavanaugh, then they're not even going to collect the money – they won't do anything," Arnold explains. "If she votes 'yes,' then they're going to charge all the people's credit cards and pay her future opponent that money."
Under 18 U.S.C. section 201(b)(1), bribing a public official is illegal – even if the bribe is paid to another person. Arnold says her organization believes this is a pretty clear-cut bribery case.

Gold Studded Trunk DIY
I got this trunk years ago from target on clearance, and i never seem to be able to part with it. I love the round lock shape and the white exterior. Recently i saw this while searching for a dresser, and i love the way it looked, too bad it was way out of my budget.
so I decide to turn my old trunk into something new:)
Time: 2 hours (most of it spent hot gluing studs)
Budget: 30 dollars
Supplies: Hot glue gun or any metal glue, gold studs (i used 5mm), gold spray paint, craft dot stickers, paper and paint tape.
Step 1: clean the trunk, this will help the glue stick
Step 2: cover up all the area you don't want spray painted. i used brown craft paper, but you can use anything. If you use newspaper, i would recommend doubling it. I also used tape to cover up all the curved areas to make sure no paint would go through (photo below)
Step 3: Spray paint away, make sure to spray from a good 10-15 inches away to make sure it's an even coat.
Step 4: wait for it to dry and peel away all the covering.
Step 5: I used craft circle stickers to make sure all the gold studs line up the way i want.
Step 6: once you are happy with the placement, you can take out your hot glue gun and glue away!! make sure to peel the stickers one at a time, so you don't forget the placement:)
Step 7: Have fun!!!

Mindfulness and Interpersonal Barriers to Full Participation (Entry II)
Welcome! You have found your way into the middle of a discussion of the experiences of people of color in primarily white meditation communities. To access the beginning of this thread, click here. Otherwise, please read on.
Interpersonal Barriers To Full Participation
A lot of the people of color (POC) I interviewed at the East Coast Meditation Community (ECMC) reported being excluded by interactions with white people in the community. Most of the experiences described fall under the rubric of microaggressions.
For example, an Asian American woman in the study talked about white folks coming up to her and asking, "Where are you from?" as if she was somehow foreign. A black woman talked about the looks she receives when she walks into the primarily white meditation group: "The stares go over as if to say, 'What is she doing here?'"
A number of participants talked about acts of tokenism from the leadership of ECMC. For example, being asked to be a black or brown face in a brochure without a prior relationship. Or, as one black woman put it when speaking about being invited onto a teaching team: "I never hear from this woman, she never picks up the phone. I don't know her middle name. It was just because she wanted black people, a teacher of color."
Finally – and perhaps most interestingly – some folks I interviewed talked about the way Buddhist doctrine had been weaponized to undermine POC experiences at ECMC. The doctrine of non-self was particularly effective for the purpose of disarming racialized critiques leveled by people of color. Put simply, white members made the case that race didn't need to be discussed, addressed, or challenged, because it was just a social construct.
The full list of the six themes we discovered in our research includes:
- Interpersonal Barriers to Full Participation
- Institutional Barriers to Full Participation
- Strategies for Coping with Racialized Exclusion
- Range of POC Experiences
- Failures of Leadership Support for People of Color
- Promoting Equity and Inclusion

Bear with me here as gardening terms are very new for me and I might be referring to the plant in non-gardener ways.
Singapore's climate may not be suitable for many of my favourites. Tomatoes don't seem to grow very well. Neither do snow peas. We could try long beans. Basil definitely grows perfectly in this weather.
Growing a home garden can be rewarding as you watch the plant grow. We realised that eggplants take a while for the vegetables to show. The plant grows up to 1 metre with flowers and the vegetable starts budding after two months or so.
Imagine our delight when we saw the little purple rounded base peeking out from one of the pods. When they grow, they really do grow, almost overnight. They grow so quickly from a little plant no more than the length of one's little finger to larger than the palm.
I harvested one of them recently (after three and a half months from when we first planted it) as the plant was getting infested. So I removed the branches which were infected and the rest of the plant seems to be thriving well enough.

Disclaimer: Items marked with * were gifted
Brandy Melville flannel | Nasty Gal skirt* | Nasty Gal mules* | Topshop Band tee
I got the chance to visit the Nasty Gal HQ whilst out in LA and couldn't feel more overwhelmed with the love they gave me and Leanne! Nasty Gal is one of a few brands I really love and look up to for such a long time and it was incredible to get noticed by them. After the office visit, we were gifted with an outfit of our choice I went for something that touches base on my other style side.
When I saw this heavily fringe detailed skirt my heart skipped a beat. I seriously couldn't believe that it was a Nasty Gal brand piece and had to choose it straight away! I paired it with my trusty band tee and a flannel shirt to finish off the look to make it more casual.
Next up is the mules - these are my favourite pair that I have come across. I love the subtle fringing detail. It matches perfectly with my skirt and adds a little kick to the plain mules. They are also super comfy, I wore them out to dinner that night & my feel were still in good shape!
Trust me, I also went a little crazy in the Nasty Gal stores on Melrose and in Santa Monica - a haul video will follow soon! So keep an eye out!
I just wanna say a huge thank you to Nasty Gal for my goodies and for having me and Leanne come and visit the incredible HQ! It was such a dream for us!

It's been over a month since my last post. I've missed you all! Since my last posting, I have been to Las Vegas twice on business; once for the North America CBRE conference and once for the CoreNet Summit. During my trips, I was lucky enough to participate in a number of great break-out sessions and came away with new insights on three topics that I have and will continue to blog about: Workplace, Technology, and Why Tenants Lease Space.
"Workplace" has been a key buzzword in the industry for years and continues to be all the rage. At both conferences, there were sessions on the changing workforce and how office space design needs to accommodate these changes.
The most interesting session on the topic focused on the new CBRE offices in Downtown L.A.. Georgia Collins, Managing Director of CBRE's Workplace Strategies Group gave an overview of why workplace design is important as companies move forward. Some key observations:
- One strategy doesn't fit all.
- Workplace is about people and performance, not cost savings.
- People come to the office to see other people. One of the keys to a good workplace solution is connecting people to people and people to information.
- Density forces people to work together. Food helps people collaborate.
- Space needs to evolve over time, especially as technology continues to change at such a rapid pace.
- Most companies are at 50% utilization of space.
- A "green" workplace will promote health and well being, leading to greater productivity. If people aren't sick as often, they will be more productive.
After Georgia's discussion, Lew Horne and Steve Bay joined her on stage to talk about the new Downtown L.A. office which recently moved in to new space where no one has an assigned workstation or office. It is all free address and is also referred to as "untethered". Teams can work in neighborhoods, but everyone has to clear their workspace at the end of the day and put their belongings in a locker, as that space may not be theirs the next day. People can also choose to work in the "heart" of the office, near the entrance, which resembles a cafe with couches and less traditional work spaces.
Lew discussed the planning process and how he engaged key people in the office. He knew that a radical change was not going to work unless he had buy-in from top producers and leaders. Our Amsterdam office had already adopted a free address model and he took stakeholders to see that space, how it worked, and encouraged them to talk to their peers in that office. Everyone came away with the same impression: it works.
Now that the office is open, it is getting rave reviews, not only from those who work there, but from the industry as well. Steve Bay talked about being more in-tune with his team in the new space. He didn't mind giving up his office because he believes that this space will help him better serve his clients. The space was so well received, our corporate headquarters decided to move there as well.
Lew encouraged anyone in the session to come to LA for a visit, which I am doing in two weeks. Once I see it for myself, I will report back. You may recall a previous blog post, They're Coming To Take My Office, which concluded with me stating that I would be open to giving it up if given a compelling reason. It seems they might have one. If it will make me better at my job, I will move tomorrow.

The Grand Hall Rises as Battersea Arts Centre Reopens
- by Howard Sherman
in Theatre Buzz
That the Battersea Arts Centre in London is calling its current programming roster its Phoenix Season should come as no surprise to anyone aware of the venue's recent history. In early 2015, an overnight fire rendered the Grand Hall, the largest space in the century-old facility, a charred wreck, with little but the exterior walls remaining. Fortunately, the construction of the building was such that the while the Grand Hall was a shambles, the other parts of the building, equally historic, escaped any significant damage. Unlike most organizations facing such devastation, BAC was already discussing reconstruction with architects the day after the disaster. How did they manage to set to planning so quickly?
"Haworth Tompkins Architects have been working with Battersea Arts Centre since 2006," explained Martin Lydon, an associate at the firm. "The fire was in 2015. So that's nine years of work that we'd already done to the front part of the building. Obviously no one anticipated the Grand Hall burning down." BAC is a former town hall whose myriad spaces had been converted for use as performing and supporting spaces back in the 1970s. "The work at the front part of the building evolved very incrementally," said Lydon, "because up until 2011, they didn't have a long-term lease. The first few years were very simple scratching the surface projects, usually working with theater performers to try and make bits of the building work better for a particular show. The catalyst was in 2007, when Punchdrunk wanted to do an immersive performance in the whole building. [Punchdrunk, a leading immersive theater company, presented The Masque of the Red Death.] That was the spark for ourselves and BAC to think building-wide about the theatrical possibilities of this whole Town Hall."
"The Punchdrunk show scratched the surface of that for a period of about nine months. Once that left, everybody thought 'Wow, that was amazing. But how can we do this long-term? How can we make this stick?' We did a year of master planning and thinking about the different types of activity and space, as well doing a conservation appraisal. We then did a series of quite small scale, light touch, low budget interventions, like temporary seating on a staircase, improving the café bar, external signage, draft lobby, trying to make this municipal grand staircase foyer feel more intimate and more theatrical. In 2012 and 2013, we managed to get some Arts Council Heritage Lottery funding secured. That was able to pay for more transformative building alterations to the rear part of the Town Hall building.
"When the fire happened, we knew and understood very intimately what was great about the space in terms of its look and feel, and historic character and grandeur. But equally, all the technical constraints. Fortunately, the building was insured. "The building insurer's initial default position was, 'Well, you rebuild it as it was on the day of the fire.' That's what they were thinking. I guess that thought crossed our minds straight away at first. But then instantly, we were thinking on the flip side, 'Well, that means we put back all the problems. That doesn't feel right. We can't rebuild in the 21st century and not put any insulation in roofs. We need to think about accessibility. Can we get a lift up to the balcony?'
"So we did a feasibility study of rebuilding, but improving where we could. There were things like the historic windows and the fiber plaster ceiling that were still massive technical constraints. We were also thinking from a conservation and aesthetic perspective, is it correct to rebuild in the Victorian style in the 21st century, essentially as a pastiche replica? Does that feel right intellectually? Does it feel right for the building? Does it feel right for BAC as an organization? Does it feel right in terms of conservation?"
"And that sense of thinking on a different thread made us question more what is the hall as a historic artifact? What has the fire left us? All the masonry walls, do we demolish those and start from scratch? Do we retain them? This building is full of history. London's first black mayor was elected here in 1913, Suffragettes campaigned here. Battersea's always been quite a radical part of London when it was a town hall. We wanted to honor that past. We felt that in the Grand Hall, if we just obliterated the walls and started again, we were losing all that history and memory."
Lydon credits BAC's longtime artistic director David Jubb, who has announced he'll be stepping down this spring after two decades, with making certain the rebuilding proceeded swiftly but with great care. "David's an incredible leader," said Lydon. "He sets a very inspiring vision. We wanted to make this place more inclusive, more democratic. And all those ideals were supporting the vision of not recreating like for like as a pastiche, but trying to turn this into an opportunity."
Lydon notes they worked with the insurers to make it possible to fund work that wasn't merely a reconstruction, but a rethinking. That same process took place with local and national historic conservation groups, which placed a great deal of faith in BAC and Haworth Tompkins because of the prior nine-year history of respectful reinvention and renovation.
The reinvented Great Hall now features an all-new grid system, with steel I-beams hung from the existing walls, motorized winches, improved climate controls and entirely new electrical systems throughout the space. A vintage organ has been relocated and reconstructed. One doorway was expanded to allow for the load-in of larger set pieces. Acoustic concerns were addressed. Yet for anyone who hadn't previously known the space, it's possible to walk into the Great Hall and feel one has gone back in time, with the BAC's history etched into the walls with some of the scars of the fire still visible as part of the aesthetic, which could easily be taken for a restoration instead of a reinvention.
Speaking in September, just three weeks after the start of the Phoenix season, Jack Champion, the centre's head of production and technical, who was not part of the staff when the fire struck, noted that the very first show in the rebuilt hall, Missing, by the company Gecko, was the very show that was in production when the fire broke out, truncating its planned run. But with the rebuilt facility, there were new possibilities. "In terms of what they'd been used to," Champion explained, "as they'd done half of their show in the old hall, it was now much more flexible than what they needed. And safer." Champion points out that while visiting companies will still need to bring in some of their own equipment, or rentals, the possibilities are now much more expansive. He said, "The infrastructure we've got in the venue has enabled us to accommodate everything so far that they're bringing in, which is brilliant in terms of future-proofing for events and performances."
Observing that just getting the venue back up and running was the first priority, Champion said he's already looking forward to the second season, and the challenges posed by new companies. Lydon concurred, saying "Hopefully once the next season comes along, once people have got over the fact that it's a new hall, hopefully they'll start asking the more difficult questions like 'Can we rig something from all the way over there?' or 'What if the audience came in another way" or 'What if we don't have the stage in the proscenium?'" Champion chimed in, "It's much more flexible than you first realize in many aspects. Martin and I had many late nights redoing plans. One of the things we tried to factor in is flexibility for the performers and the artists coming in, and their technical requirements. So far, we've been able to accommodate everything."
With a date set for reopening while work was still underway, it's impossible not to wonder whether the tech shakedown went smoothly. "It was, dare I say, surprisingly painless," Champion stated cautiously. "Obviously there are snagging issues, like with our house lighting control, on the programming side of it, what we wanted certain buttons to do. But none of it has affected performances, it's not affected the public's opinion of the place. It's been stuff that we've been able to manage."
A Phoenix Soaring
Speaking to the response of audiences in the early weeks, Champion said, "The biggest thing that everyone mentions to me is the ceiling. The aesthetics of it. They go, 'Wow, that ceiling is amazing.' They often ask, 'Have you made it bigger?' No. Honestly, it's the same footprint. It has a bit of a wow factor, which is nice."
While the upgrade of the Grand Hall may have happened much sooner than the BAC's long-term plans called for, the result was a space that afforded more flexibility than before the fire. Champion noted, "I think in terms of the opportunities from a technical side of our work, the safety that we now have to be able to do that scale of work, in terms of the technical galleries and all of those sort of things, it's opened up a huge amount of possibilities for us. It is enabling us to be able to push the boundaries of what BAC has ever been able to do before."
So does this mean that the now 12-year relationship between BAC and Haworth Tompkins has finally reached its conclusion? "There are still projects very much in the pipeline," remarked Lydon. He smiled wryly and said, "I think it's the project that never ends.
In his own words, Jack Champion, head of production and technical for the BAC provides the details of the technical equipment in the Grand Hall.
For the lighting control system, we run a main lighting console of an ETC Gio 4k channels and we have three ETC Sensor3 dimmer racks with ThruPower modules, which can be changed from dimmable to non-dim as well as lock a circuit to a constant hot output override without changing modules.The architectural side of our lighting control is via an ETC Paradigm system. This controls the work lights/houselights/window blinds with three touch screen panels (two fixed and one wireless roaming panel). All of the lighting control systems (dimmers and networking, etc.) were supplied by Hawthorn. We owned the lighting console. Our side lighting (up and down bars) have a total load of 175kg and a point load of 120kg. These are also controlled via the main touchscreen engineering control panels (jog boxes) that can be plugged in in the technical galleries above the roof but also in the USR production lighting cabinet.
There are 19 acoustic banners above the ceiling which can be dropped in to just above the ceiling line or retracted into their storage boxes. Each banner is a roll-down double roller banner with a powered aluminum top roller and free travelling bottom roller. They are arranged to create a double layer of carpet with an air gap in the middle.
We have 12 1-ton chain motors that run on I-beam tracks above the ceiling line. There are a series of stops with a spring-loaded locking mechanism on the motor trolley. The motors are 1,000-kg LoadGuards supplied by LTM ltd. They have a speed of four-meter per minute and are fitted with a proof tested and certified safety hook, a grade 100 "Gunnebo Alloy" hook with recessed trigger. The hoists meet BGV-D8+ standard which is suitable for the suspension of loads over people without secondary suspension. All of our stage engineering and stage engineering control was carried out by Centre Stage Engineering Ltd.

After I updated to WordPress 4.8.2 and Events Calendar 4.6 my eventbrite tickets no longer allows me to change the featured image. I am able to upload one and select it. It will show it to me in the preview window when I set featured image but when I update the event it creates a copy of the previous image I want to replace and sets that as the featured image.
Any ideas what could be causing this issue?
Hi Beth,
Thanks so much for reaching out again! I'm sorry that you're not able to change the featured image since you updated your plugins.
Would you mind sharing a link to the events that you are referring to?
Is this occurring for one event, or for multiple events?
As a first step, let's try to rule out if there is some type of conflict at play.
This is usually because of:
1. A conflict with another plugin
2. A conflict with your WordPress theme
3. A template customization for the Events Calendar that requires updating
When it comes to that type of issue, it is preferable to troubleshoot in a staging environment if you have one.
A first quick test is to simply temporarily revert back to a default WordPress theme such as twenty-sixteen to see if the issue persists.
The next step would be to go through our testing for conflicts procedure and let us know what you find out.
Basically the goal here is to revert back to a bare WordPress installation to see if the problem persists. It also allows us to pinpoint what the cause of the issue is.
But, before you do that, there are 2 things I would advise:
1. Make a backup of your database
2. Consider activating a "Maintenance Page" plugin if you are doing this on your live site (to minimize impact on your visitors)
Let me know how that goes.

Hi Beth,
Thanks for that information. I'm wondering, does this occurring for one event, or for multiple events? Can you try to create a new event and see if this still occurs?
Could you please enable WP_DEBUG and WP_DEBUG_LOG ? This will create a debug.log file inside the /wp-content directory. This way we can see if any errors come up.
It occurs on every eventbrite event whenever I try to change the featured image it creates another version of the old featured image on saving and displays that instead of the one I updated it with. I can't turn on WP_DEBUG because I am in a live environment. I don't have the ability to create a staging area and had to test the default theme in maintenance mode and other ways to debug this? It was working fine until WordPress 4.8.2 and Events Calendar 4.6
Hi Beth,
Thanks for your response. Unfortunately, without proper conflict testing and debugging, it can be difficult to get to the bottom of this. A few things to consider:
- The latest version of WordPress runs best with PHP version 7 or greater, so you may want to talk to your host about that: https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/
- I am getting a 404 error related to Eventbrite when I visit your site. Please verify that your settings are configured properly and everything is connected. Here is our New User Primer for your reference: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/new-user-primer-eventbrite-tickets/
- Here are some steps to take to fix 404 errors that may lead you in the right direction: https://theeventscalendar.com/knowledgebase/fixing-http-404-errors/
Let me know how all of this goes!
What do you mean by Error 404 with event brite – The key is entered and this event shows the eventbrite registration – http://mybflib.org/event/fobfls-6th-annual-great-cupcake-contest/.
This error with the featured image has to be related to the eventbrite plugin because when I add an event without it I can change the featured image without any problem. Does it work correctly in your environment?
Hi Beth,
For your reference, this is the error that I am seeing when I visit that page: https://www.evernote.com/l/Atz4nLzX2O9ERJ3opR6lU095ZHVJx1nJ8bEB/image.png
I have tested this in my environment without any issues, including using the image that you were trying to add. I would love to get some more information from you in order to replicate as closely as possible. Are you importing the events from Eventbrite, or are you creating them in WordPress itself? Is there anything else I should know about how these events are created?
I appreciate your patience through this process.
Hi Jamie,
I don't see that error in my Console when I view the event I am using Google Chrome Developer Console. I am importing the events from eventbrite and once imported trying to change the featured image then that is when it doesn't allow me to change it. When I create an event without importing from eventbrite it allows me to update the image with no issue.
Hi Beth,
Thanks for providing me with that information! It was super helpful and I did a lot of testing on my local site. What I found is that there is a setting that handles the way that images are selected with Eventbrite. Depending on what setting you have selected, you may not be able to update the image. By default, the setting selected does not allow the image to be updated. Please select the option I have outlined in the following screenshot:
Let me know if this helps!
The screen shot is a bit small for me to read. Are these settings in eventbrite or in the wordpress wp-admin area? Can you enlarge the screenshot?
Hi Beth,
Here is a full-screen screenshot of where the option is located: https://cloudup.com/caSdFg3VwyV. It is in the WordPress Admin area, under Edit Event. You will want to select "Try to update eventbrite.com so it shares the same image as used locally."
Let me know how it goes!
Jamie thank you so much that solved the problem.
Glad we could help, you are welcome back in our support forums any time!
For now, I am going to close this thread.
Have a great weekend!

Charter Stones may be used to teleport around the world. Anyone who knows a Charter Stone's name may teleport to it from any other Charter Stone in the world.
- Note You must visit (right-click option "Visit") Charter to enable option travel to it.
The Charter Stone can always be deactivated and reactivated at the discretion of any villager with Manage territory privileges, should you need to turn it off. You can tell if it's active when the red core is lit. Turn it off simply by erasing its name and pressing enter. The core will become a dormant dull orange. The name can be changed at any time. An inactive Charter Stone can still be used to travel to other Charter Stones that are active.
Newly created characters can spawn at a Charter Stone, if it is set to allow new characters (checkbox in the Set name window). They do this by entering the Charter Stone's name in the Charter Pole in the character creation world.
Charter Stones cannot be used by Outlaws.
How to Acquire
Charter Stones can only be built on existing village claims, on level and paved ground, and only by villagers with Manage territory Privileges. Only one may be built per village. A Charter Stone may only be built on the surface.
The look of Charter Stones differ based on the stone and metal used to create them. Any type of metal may be used which gives a wide variety of appearances.
- Variable materials supported and building materials changed in update Rekt!-ing Ball (2016-04-20).
- Disabled HP threshold changed in update Catapult Metallic (2016-04-06).
- Re-implemented in update Fun Allowed (2016-01-05).
- The "starting grid" can vary world to world. Recently it has been pretty much anywhere on the map with various factors taken into account. In most older worlds, this was a radius out from the very center of the map.

DAMASCUS, SYRIA (5:00 A.M)- Last night, Israeli Occupation forces killed three Palestinians after drone strikes were conducted against Gaza.
Three young Palestinian men have been confirmed dead, by the Palestinian Health Ministry, in the West Bank. In two seperate incidents the three were killed in Nablus.
First a 19 year old, identified as Omar Abu Leila, was shot and killed by Israeli forces. He was accused of carrying out an attack in Salfit, near an illegal settlement, against Israeli soldiers and an illegal settler last week.
Later, two young men identified as Ra'ed Hashim Hamdan, 21 years old, and Zaid 'Anad Mohammed Nouri, 20 years old, were killed after Israeli soldiers opened fire upon the car they were travelling in.
Earlier that same day, more than 30 demonstrators were injured in Gaza's 26th 'Maritime Great Return March', including a journalist who was reportedly shot in the neck with a tear gas canister.
Israel simultaneously – with the demonstrations – carried out seperate drone strikes against multiple neighbourhoods in the East of Gaza. There was no response from Palestinian armed groups in Gaza.

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- Computer giant IBM revealed Tuesday that its current wave of job cuts will total more than 15,000, or 5 percent of its workforce.
Details of the layoffs were revealed in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission made public on Tuesday.
IBM IBM, +1.39% said when it reported second-quarter financial results that it was cutting jobs, although the company had not previously stated publicly what the total number would be.
The cuts -- more than the 10,000 analysts had expected - are in IBM's computer-services and microelectronics businesses.
The employees being laid off were notified during the second quarter, ended June 30, according to the filing.
IBM said it cut 14,200 jobs, most of them in the Global Services unit, as well as some in the server and software divisions. Another 1,400 jobs are being cut in the microelectronics business.
The Associated Press quoted IBM spokeswoman Carol Makovich as saying, "The work force reductions are intended to drive productivity and efficiency throughout the company."
The company also said it expects that when the layoffs are completed in September, its workforce will have been cut from 320,000 to 305,000.
Last month, IBM announced it would buy the consulting arm of accounting firm PricewaterhouseCooopers. IBM said it would add about 30,000 employees from that deal.
IBM shares gained 13 cents to close at $71.90 in Tuesday's regular session. After hours, the stock slipped 16 cents.

when is this issue going to be resolved
When is it going to be fixed. Lol , Igg has abbandoned this game. The mod on this fourm has said that he is in the dark as much as we are and for the most part , the forum itself is dead. Lets look at these links for g02 and g03's facebook pages.
Now , if you look at these , you'll see that Igg doesn't give a damn about either games and has gone on to advertise new games in place of fixing what's wrong with these games.
Nobody's fixing anything for galaxy online period , end of subject. I want IGG to prove me wrong , but for the most part , that hasn't happened.
Edit: forgot to answer the question. Most likely never. again as I said before , I want to be wrong , but this looks to be Igg's method of doing things.
So will this ever be fixed?
It's still broken after the recent maintenance update.
Also having the same problem. what happened to all my facebook friends?
I have spent a good deal of money on this game and if this is not fixed then when can I
expect a full refund on all money spent playing this game.

(Reuters) – Even if a jury orders Alphabet's Google to pay the full $8.8 billion sought by Oracle in an upcoming San Francisco copyright trial over the Android operating system, shareholders and analysts say it will likely have little impact on the search giant's bottom line.
Oracle claims Google's Android violated its copyright on parts of the Java programming language, while Google says it should be able to use Java without paying a fee under the fair-use provision of copyright law.
The case previously went to trial in 2012, but a jury deadlocked. If the new jury, in the trial starting on Monday, rules against Google on fair use, then it will consider damages.
Google (GOOG) took in $75 billion in revenue in 2015, so even a large verdict for Oracle would have little impact on investors because it would be a one-time charge, said Mike Bailey, director of research at FBB Capital Partners, which holds shares in Alphabet, Google's parent company.
Oracle (ORCL) is also seeking an injunction against Google's future use of Java in Android, which would give Oracle more leverage to negotiate an ongoing royalty. However, such an injunction would have to be issued by a judge, not a jury, and legal experts believe that is a remote possibility.
After the first trial, U.S. District Judge William Alsup ruled that the material at issue in the case should not be subject to copyright at all. A federal appeals court reversed that ruling, however, saying that the structure of the computer language that connects programs can be protected.
An Oracle representative did not respond to a request for comment, and a Google spokesman declined to comment.
A damages expert hired by Oracle estimated that Google has taken in $29 billion in gross advertising and search revenue from Android devices since their inception, according to court documents, plus an additional $11.6 billion in sales of apps and Android phones.
For more about Android, watch:
Oracle's expert then calculated Android profits at $11.4 billion, of which he concluded Oracle is entitled to $8.8 billion.
However, Google says Oracle has vastly overstated Java's role in the success of Android.
In a ruling this week, Alsup said Oracle's damages expert will be allowed to testify about the $8.8 billion figure but cannot tell jurors they should award the entire amount.

I love my family. I know I am a bit biased but I think they are probably the most beautiful people on this planet. Thankfully, they actually sit through all my picture taking so that I get to capture just a little bit of what makes them so wonderful.
Here are a few favorites from my weekend at home this past weekend. It was filled with wedding planning (my sister is getting married in the fall!), eating, laughing, and singing. A pretty standard time for the Manby's. Minus all the wedding dress shopping, I guess. Enjoy!
