Lehman losses, REITS losses, and PE returns not what they promised. This does not sound good for those relying on yield. Aivars Lode
Court Ruling Results in Some of the First Losses for Hedge Funds Due to LehmanOn the sixth anniversary of the firm's collapse, hedge funds got some losses on their Lehman claims.
The smooth ride for hedge funds holding certain claims tied to Lehman Brothers Holding Inc. hit a speed bump last month.
A court ruling in the case hurt a swath of managers, including some of the biggest firms in the industry, that have in recent years enjoyed a steady stream of profits from the claims. The losses are among the first for hedge funds due to Lehman claims, managers and investors in hedge funds say.
Davidson Kempner Capital Management LP, which manages $23.7 billion, and Highfields Capital Management LP, with $13.1 billion, held some Lehman claims that lost about 10% in a day, according to people familiar with the matter. The hit contributed to the firms posting monthly losses of 0.3% and 1.3%, respectively.
Similarly, $22 billion King Street Capital Management LP, whose most profitable bet last quarter was Lehman, lost about 0.2% last month, in part due to those claims, investors say.
Lehman has "been the gift that keeps on giving" in the form of reliable payouts, said Stephen Nesbitt, chief executive of Cliffwater LLC, which advises institutional clients on alternative investments.
The recent losses are small on a percentage basis and come after big profits by hedge funds on Lehman, including Davidson Kempner and Highfields. Still, hedge-fund clients say such dips are rare for the marquee firms.
Last week marked the six-year anniversary of Lehman's collapse in September 2008, the largest Chapter 11 filing in history. After the bank failed, some creditors didn't want to wait for their money or take a chance that they wouldn't get paid at all. Hedge funds were willing buyers of their claims, betting they would gain in value after the initial panic subsided.
Since the bankruptcy, Lehman has consistently increased estimates of how much creditors would get back, helping hedge-fund managers rake in profits.
Some managers have assembled outsize positions. Lehman claims amounted to nearly 10% of Davidson Kempner's portfolio in its flagship fund, according to a person familiar with the matter.
On Aug. 5, the Second U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals issued a ruling that affirmed Barclays BARC.LN -1.07% PLC's right to billions of dollars in assets that the Lehman brokerage, Lehman Brothers Inc., had claimed belonged to it. The nearly $6 billion in securities and margin assets had gone to Barclays when it bought Lehman's U.S. brokerage business amid the unfolding of the financial crisis in September 2008.
After the ruling, unsecured claims against LBI, which had been trading around 46 cents on the dollar, dropped to 40 cents before closing the day around 42 cents, where they remained last week, according to an investor who holds some of the claims.
A negative ruling for LBI already was partially reflected in the claims' prices before the ruling, but some hedge funds believed a surprise ruling in favor of the brokerage would have sent quotes into the 60-cent range.
Claims against parent company Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. dipped that day, too, though to a lesser degree.
LBHI claims are up about 25% this year, and recently changed hands at an all-time high, according to holders. LBI claims remain down nearly 10% this year.
Many funds bought LBI claims in the low 40-cent range. One hedge-fund holder said he expected to lose some money or break even on those claims, but said any losses would pale next to his profits on Lehman overall.
Hedge-fund giants Paulson & Co. and Elliott Management Corp. have collected some of the biggest Lehman profits. Paulson was largely unaffected by the LBI dip, according to a person familiar with the matter, holding few of the claims because it didn't like Lehman's chances of success on appeal. Elliott's position is concentrated in claims against Lehman's U.K. entity, said a person familiar with the firm.
While Lehman emerged from bankruptcy in March 2012, it has billions of dollars in remaining assets and more money to pay back creditors, along with continuing litigation with several parties.
The bank is expected to exist in some form for years to come. Creditors of the Lehman companies in the Chapter 11 case have received more than $80 billion, with the next distribution set for early October.
The brokerage business, which is under the purview of the bankruptcy court but not technically in bankruptcy protection, paid back retail customers almost immediately after Lehman's collapse. The trustee unwinding the brokerage, James W. Giddens, has paid back more than $105 billion to customers and hopes to have returned more than $110 billion when he is finished. Customers get 100% of their money back, while unsecured creditors get much less.
Hedge funds have been adapting to life after Lehman, said Eric Siegel, global head of hedge-fund investments for Citi Private Bank, increasingly making bets around mergers and in distressed situations in Europe.
"At this point, it's probably in at least the seventh inning or so," Mr. Siegel said. "You're getting toward the end of the trade."

About Ifrane
Ifrane is one of the most beautiful places in Morocco, residing on the Atlas mountain with a population of rougly 13,000 people. The current Moroccan king and his projects - like the university and huge new hotel - have had a large impact on the town. However, it can not be considered a large town. The majority of the population are farmers, sheepherders, etc, and therefore live outside of the town borders.
The main language in Ifrane is Berber, but you can also hear a great deal of Arabic and French. It is home to Al-Akhawayn University, an American-style university taught in English, French, and Arabic. Nearly all university students will be able to converse fluently in English, but most of the native residents can not.
The climate is mostly cold with a beautiful clement summer, with a great deal of rain in the first few months of the year. The people are overall very friendly.
Overall, there is very little reason to specifically visit Ifrane if you're limited on time in Morocco. Unless you're a student here or a member of the king's entourage when he visits, there's not a huge amount to visit here- a carved lion, some parks, funky roofs, lots of storks, outdoorsy things, and a Sunday souq pretty much summarize the town.
However, Ifrane's main attraction is its natural beauty. It is highly encouraged to hike in the area. You can easily rent a horse and guide for a few hours. It is also only a short distance from Ifrane to a place where you can find and feed wild monkeys.
Centre ville
- L'Apelle. More high class than most restaurants in Ifrane. The only place that serves pastilla in the vicinity.
- Aglemem. Most of the food is only mediocre. Very good chicken tagine. Has alcohol, and sometimes live music. A favorite of the university students. Where international students go to briefly forget they're in Morocco. a bit expensive.
- La Rosa. Normally has mediocre to bad food.
- La Paix. mains around 80 dirham.
- Forest. A new shiny restaurant.
- Various cafes. All of the cafes are priced roughly the same, and have roughly the same quality of food. Normally a safe bet, though you can expect only the standard fare: pizza, tagine, harira, brochettes, etc.
- Restaurant Al-Akhawayn. Good food. More varied menu than many others. decent prices.
- Restaurant Chez Amal. Used to serve excellent Kafta-Tajine, but has lost a bit of its atmosphere since the renovation. mains 40 dirham.
- Chez Said. The sandwiches were famous, but since it moved to a new location, they are not as good anymore. 20 dirham.
- Chicken Restaurant. Serves good chicken. mains 25-40 dirham.
There are three centers of nightlife in Ifrane: Teal, the Grand Hotel, and Aglemem.
- Teal and the Grand Hotel both contain dance clubs, and offer expensively priced alcohol. The clubs are most popular on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings, and play only House/Techno music. Teal is currently the better-attended of the two, due to its recent renovation and their promotion of special deals. Be aware that the clubs or hotels may bring prostitutes to the clubs.
- Aglemem is a bar/restaurant that occasionally holds live music events.

I don't think that's what feminism is about at all.

Stargate Atlantis: The New Wormhole
by Andrew Troy Keller ([email protected] com)
It had all began within the newly-found city of Atlantis which happens to be
on a planet known as Lantea within the Pegasus galaxy and constructed and
inhabited by a race of intergalactic beings known as the Ancients until a new
intergalactic threat known as the Wraith had forced each and every one of the
Ancients to evacuate Atlantis and return to Earth by way of the Stargate and
never allowed the city to be found by anyone else ever since.
But of course, that was before a team of scientists and military personal
from the planet Earth had arrived within the submerged city of Atlantis with
hopes of meeting the Ancients and discover who they were and how they were
able to make such wondrous advances within the realm of science, only to have
them discover that no one else was around to help them get the city back up
to the surface of Lantea's very own ocean.
But thankfully enough, the team was able to get the sunken city of Atlantis
back up to the ocean's surface just in time for them to make contact with
Stargate Command back on Earth and have them hear the SGC commanding officers
to give them permission to remain within the newly-re-risen city under the
command of a beautiful female scientist whose name happens to be Doctor
Elizabeth Weir.
And yet, even though each and every member of the SG-Atlantis team had all
been able to perform their duties well, there had also been some things that
they were all unable to escape from nor ignore which brings us to one warm
and sunny day within the newfound city of legend on which Elizabeth had stood
on the outside observation deck, closed her eyes and allowed herself to enjoy
the wonderful soft breeze that was blowing its way towards Atlantis.
But of course, that was before one of the male members of the SG-Atlantis
team whose name happens to be Major John Sheppard had stepped outside,
cleared his throat and said, "Excuse me for interrupting, Doctor Weir. I know
that you want to be alone right now. It's just that Doctor McKay has suddenly
discovered a new and unusual wormhole within the vortex of the Stargate and
figured that you might want to have a look at it."
"Okay, John. I'll be right in," that was the answer that an understanding
Elizabeth had said to John before she had turned her eyes toward the endless
miles of ocean that were still surrounding the city, let out a sigh and
thought to herself, *Okay, Janus. What form of scientific experimentation had
you been doing behind the Atlantean High Council's back this time?*
Then, after she had stepped inside the Atlantis command center, walked
herself over to her fellow scientist named Doctor Rodney McKay and asked,
"I'm here, Rodney. What's with the new wormhole that John had told me that
you had found within the Stargate vortex?" a confused Rodney had activated a
computer screen, pointed to the image of a suddenly-newly-appeared wormhole
inside that very vortex and answered, "To tell you the truth, Elizabeth. I
really do want you to know about this new wormhole in hopes of telling me how
it had came to be inside the vortex of the Stargate and why."
However, after she had taken a good enough look at the image of the new
wormhole on the screen and tried to figure out what its creator and point of
origin might happen to be without any success, an equally-confused Elizabeth
had shrugged her shoulders and said, "I really am sorry to tell you this,
Rodney. But if it actually is an new form of implement for a whole new race
of explorers to take a short cut through the vortex and arrive at one of the
other Stargates quicker, its creators had hidden that secret real good. "
"That's for sure. ", that was what Rodney had said to Elizabeth after he had
started scratching the back of his head and before the team's resident member
from the planet Sateda known as Ronon Dex had stepped into the room, gazed
his own eyes upon the image on the computer screen and said, "Well, Doctor
Weir. If both you and Doctor McKay were to ask me, there is only one way to
find out where this new wormhole goes to. Oh, and might I also suggest that
you would not need to take the Puddle Jumper into the Stargate on this one?"
"To tell you the truth, Ronon. You really are right. This newfound wormhole
is way too small for the Puddle Jumper to fit through anyway," that was the
answer that Elizabeth had given to Ronon before a curious Rodney had looked
at her and asked, "Elizabeth, why do I have a feeling that Ronon is
suggesting something just out of nothing more than sheer impulse?"
And as soon as she had encoded the chevrons of the newfound wormhole and
activated the Stargate, Elizabeth had turned her understanding eyes toward
Rodney, taken a deep breath and said, "Look, Rodney. I know that doing this
might be considered to be the biggest mistake of my life and it's because of
the fact that there actually is no way of knowing what might be waiting at
the other end. But to tell you the truth, this happens to be the only way of
finding out for sure. Here's to hoping that we should see each other again
And with that, Elizabeth had closed her eyes, let out a sigh, stepped into
the vortex of the Stargate and allowed it to teleport her through the newly
discovered wormhole. But then, as soon as Elizabeth had finally opened her
eyes and shockingly discovered that she had somehow been stripped bare-ass
naked and standing within the middle of an Earth-like forest, a confused and
embarrassed Elizabeth had placed her hands on her uncovered tits, looked all
around the entire area and said, "Hello! Is there anyone here? My name is
Doctor Elizabeth Weir! I mean you no harm! Could I have my clothes back,
And sure enough, Elizabeth had turned her eyes toward a section of the forest
and discovered that an equally-bare-ass-naked Janus had walked himself
towards her with his hand stroking on his stiff cock, Elizabeth had -- at
first -- looked at Janus like she was about to ask him, "What's wrong with
you, Janus? Is this the result of an experiment gone wrong?" only to have
something in the planet's atmosphere cause her to uncover her suddenly-firm
breasts and allow Janus to say to her, "Please do forgive me for this,
Elizabeth. It is just that when we had last seen each other, I had discovered
that you really are the most beautiful woman in the entire universe and I
wish to share this one place of pure sensual pleasure with you. All you need
to do now is just relax... and allow the aphrodisiac to flow itself all over
your beautiful body."
And then, after both Janus and Elizabeth had kissed each other ever so deep
and passionately on the lips, a curious member of the SG-Atlantis team from
the planet Athos named Teyla Emmagan had stepped into the command center,
gazed her eyes upon a concerned Rodney staring at the image of the new
wormhole on the computer screen and asked, "Why do I have a feeling that
Doctor Weir is not back from her personal expedition yet?"
"You've got that right, Teyla. And to tell you the truth, I really am
beginning to wish that Ronon should had kept his big mouth shut about this.
I'm going to get myself some lunch. Do you want me to get you something?"
that was the question that Rodney had asked Teyla before she had shaken her
head in response and allowed him to step out of the command center just in
time for Teyla to look around the entire room to make sure that she was alone
and charge herself into the vortex of the Stargate.
But then, after she had stepped out of the other Stargate and noticed that
she had somehow been stripped bare-ass naked and standing in the same Earth-
like forest, a confused Teyla had started looking around the entire area in
search of the missing Doctor Elizabeth Weir just before she had noticed that
the beautiful female scientist was leaning herself against a tree and
allowing Janus to start licking on her hot, wet pussy and caressing her firm
And then, as soon as the very same aphrodisiac within the atmosphere had
caused Teyla to start pumping two of her fingers in and out of her hot and
steamy cunt and caressing her own tits, Elizabeth had placed her hands on
Janus' bare shoulders, slowly licked her lips and said, "Aaaahhhh, yeeeessss!
That's it! Do it, Janus! Touch me! Touch me there! Suck my wet pussy dry!
Aaaahhhh!" before Teyla had moved herself closer, placed one of her hands on
Janus' bare back and the other hand on Elizabeth's bare shoulder and began
sucking on her stiff mounds.
Then, after Janus had placed his stone hard dick inside Teyla's asshole and
his hands on her tits and she had began licking on Elizabeth's hot, moist
snatch and caressing her mounds, the two female SG-Atlantis team members had
both suddenly realized that even though it was all due to the aphrodisiac in
the forest planet's atmosphere, they were both able to enjoy each and every
minute of experiencing the one thing that they had each never experienced
with anyone on another planet before which happens to be pure and untamed
sexual pleasure.
And then, after Janus had placed his stiff cock inside Teyla's pussy and
began licking on Elizabeth's snatch and she had placed her hands on Teyla's
silky-smooth naked thighs and sucking on her tits, a sexually-energized Teyla
has placed her hands on Elizabeth's bare back and yelled at the top of her
lungs, "AAAAHHHH, YES! THAT'S IT! DO IT, JANUS! DO IT, ELIZABETH! TOUCH ME!
AAAARRRRGGGGHHHH!" before the three newfound bi-sexual lovers had began
moving themselves harder and faster and kept on doing that until they had all
finally came, collapsed due to exhaustion and fallen asleep with their naked
arms in a lover's embrace.
Meanwhile, back at the Atlantis command center, Rodney had fallen asleep in
front of his computer, only to have him wake-up suddenly and it was due to
the sound of the Stargate reactivating itself. And after a curious Rodney had
moved himself closer to the Stargate, both Teyla and Elizabeth had stepped
out of the vortex with smiles on their faces and their arms on each other's
shoulders just in time for Rodney to clear his throat, cross his arms, look
at his fellow SG-Atlantis members straight in the eyes and say, "Well, I see
that the both of you were able to have such a wonderful time! Have you ever
realized that I was still here being scared out of my mind with worry? I hope
that the both of you sleep well tonight!"
And as soon as a very-upset Rodney had stormed himself out of the command
center, both Teyla and Elizabeth had looked and shrugged their shoulders at
each other and shared a small giggle between them before they had given
themselves a big friendly hug and agreed to keep the exsistance of the new
wormhole to themselves.

If you're in or around the Northern Colorado area, there's been a buzz about a new up and coming geek bar in Fort Collins. After a rousing success with their kickstarter campaign, Dungeons and Drafts was born.
By donating at a certain level on said kickstarter, you were invited to the tavern's VIP Party. Well, obviously this was too cool to pass up, so myself and a friend of the Planet donated at the higher level so we could check out what it was all about.
The moment you walk through Dungeon and Draft's front doors, you're greeted by the tavern feel. Stone walls, wooden beams, solid tables, and of course, a very well stocked bar with rows of goblets and tankards. If you look directly to your right when you walk in, you'll see large shelves piled to the brim with all varieties of games. Even the bathrooms have their own tavern-y feel to them!
You can check out pictures here: Dungeons and Draft's Facebook
On top of their geek-y decor, they also had a wonderful band playing for the evening. The Stubby Shillelaghs are both talented, and genre relevant to Dungeons and Drafts. Not only do they have a Celtic feel to their music, but delightfully nerdy lyrics! To get a taste, you can check them out here: The Stubby Shillelaghs
I'm going to avoid sharing the items that we ate at our experience there, because I'm not 100% sure what their regular menu will look like. I will tell you that everything we put in our mouths was amazing. There was an appetizer with jam on the cheese that I wasn't all about, but the jam came right off and the cheese was delicious! My friend enjoyed her meal, and I can say that the meat that was with my entree was so tender I could cut it with my fork.
Not only were all four courses delicious, they got out to us quickly! Everything was hot, tasty, and well worth the trek to the tavern.
Dungeons and Drafts also ensured that they had options for folks with gluten allergies, vegetarians, and vegans!
In my mind, this is the most important aspect of anywhere I visit. One rude staff member can tarnish my opinion of any establishment, especially if it is my first visit.
This was the furthest from a problem at Dungeons and Drafts.
Our server was funny, charming, kind, and attentive. We were checked on every 10-15 minutes to ensure no refills were needed and to see if we were ready for our next course.
On top of our server take fantastic care of us, the owners were also going around to tables to meet up with people. Please bear in mind that this was during what is typically an incredibly hectic process. Openings are not easy. Something almost always goes wrong, and owners are usually pulled in every which way trying to make sure everything's happy and all fires are put out.
If Dungeons and Drafts had said crazy experience during their VIP party, it was unbeknownst to us as guests, and stopping by to say hello made a wonderful impression.
Suffice to say, I am excited to head back, and definitely recommend it to all of our fellow geeks reading this post. We had a delightful experience, and I think if you're not planning on attending their grand opening event this weekend, you should change your plans! Go play some games, eat some delicious food, and enjoy the ambiance of an exciting new bar in Fort Collins!
Details for Grand Opening: Dungeons and Draft's Grand Opening Event
*Disclaimer: I am not employed by Dungeons and Drafts, nor am I related to any employee of the establishment. I'm not personal friends with anyone involved. I was not paid to write this Dungeons and Drafts Review. Blah, blah, blah legal stuff blah.

Boho & Foho Chic
Imagine a bohemian girl in Edwardian London and she wears long swishing gowns with a high Edwardian neck collar .. and maybe a neck tie too and maybe her ankle boots. This is the bohemian look of the last century. and now the new century and Boho Chic. Boho Chic is no longer 'in' but remember its look! There were the floaty skirts, the Ugg boots so popular when Boho Chic was at its height and the giletts. Remember the new elegance of the 1900s when the corset was disappeared and also the crinoline. There was something new and elegant. Boho chic is a kind of decadent look which belongs to the new century. It is a mishmash of fashions, boots, gilet … With the 1900s look and now the Boho look, there was a new silhouette. In Boho and now Foho chic, there is an aspiration towards a new silhouette. A silhouette which does not belong to high fashion but to the worlds of bohemia and festival-life. It is not concerned with waist and hips lines. it is not concerned with 'separates' as in shirt and dress. Remember the furry gilets of boho chic! Look at the furry gilets..they created the high waisted look and giletts were something that caught the imagination. Indeed giletts were something new! Yes they were really something new. They were a new fashion....Read More

The beauty of Tassie's Tarkine Wilderness inspired my collage of paint, fabric & stitch.May 8, 2017
Hills and DalesAugust 6, 2016
Painting is such a relaxing activity.
These landscapes were painted using my watercolours (professional series) onto pure silk fabric.
Embellished with silk rods and my hand dyed threads.
Finally I 'drew' into the framed image using Hand stitch.
Stitching has an equally meditative effect in on my being.
Time with Felt & StitchFebruary 24, 2016
Having been asked to create a handmade wall piece to hang in a local farmhouse, my recent time has gone into wet felting and then stitching to create texture and visual interest in this piece.
The request was to portray a feeling of country landscape, using a contemporary approach.
This photo gives you a glimpse of my work in progress, before completion.
I welcome your comments.

Felt BroochesMay 10, 2015
Dusting off the embellishing (needle punching) machine it was time to create more brooches.
Working on a piece of pre-felt that I created some time back, I attached pieces of fabric, yarn, and needled these in, followed by stitch to ensure good anchorage.
Next it was time to air my lovely wooden button collection, and beautiful beads, to sit quietly with needle and thread.
I like the organic nature of these…..do you?

As with many utilities worldwide, Thames Water faces a considerable present and future challenge to secure water supplies for its customers.
Not only will Greater London's population grow from 8M to 11M by 2050, but climate change will likely bring drier summers and wetter winters, providing less resource when it's needed most and greater chance of flooding. If left unchecked, current forecasts predict a potential resource deficit of over 400Ml/d in London by 2040, equivalent to the water needed by around 2M people, and 800Ml/d by 2100. Thames Water required a long-term strategy, supported by the many interested stakeholders, to manage demand and, where appropriate, develop major new resources to secure supplies for London and the Thames Valley into the future.
We supported Thames Water in developing its water resource management plan for London with a 2100 planning horizon. We engaged collaboratively with stakeholders from the outset through regular technical groups and forums, to identify options, develop the methodology for options assessment and discuss the outcomes of the options screening process. At each stage, we requested and incorporated, or responded to, stakeholder feedback.
Our water resource planning experts investigated a wide range of options to strengthen the long-term resilience of Thames Water's supplies, including:
• augmenting raw water resources with wastewater reuse
• reservoir development
• raw water transfers from other catchments such as the River Severn
• desalination
• groundwater development
We developed a three stage process to identify specific options for each resource type and to test the feasibility of each one, followed by a fine screening assessment where resource options of all types were compared. In all, more than 150 specific options were assessed. This enabled us to focus in on a 'constrained list' of around 40 options. Some of these could individually provide between 50Ml/d and 300Ml/d of additional water resource.
Integrating new and existing resources and assets efficiently, and at an affordable cost, were key considerations. To help, we developed an 'elemental' system to assist with the visualisation of how old and new would interact. This modular approach created elements for:
• treated water or augmented raw water supplies
• raw water conveyance
• raw water system reinforcement
• additional water treatment capacity
• treated water network reinforcement, including reinforcements to the London ring main
For each element we prepared conceptual designs, cost estimates and risk assessments that fed into Thames Water's programme appraisal to identify the best value programme over the long term. The outcome from the water resources plan is a coherent action plan. It integrates options to manage demand, control leakage, develop new resources and reinforce the system. The strategy is underpinned with robust evidence and has been developed in close consultation with stakeholders throughout.

A situation has developed in a state outside Georgia involving an immigrant and her 9-year-old son. The pair is said to have fled their native land in fear of persecution. What happened once they entered the United States, however, has become the subject of a lawsuit filed against the U.S. government regarding immigration detention.
Reportedly, the case is the first of its kind. The mother and son are suing for alleged inappropriate detention and mistreatment. The claim states that the child and his mother were separated from their father/husband in 2015 when they fled to the United States. They sought help after the mother reportedly spoke out against Honduran police after the murders of two of her loved ones.
The woman said she was threatened and physically assaulted, and feared further persecution. According to a Yale Law School advocacy clinic, the federal government is obligated to protect those in its custody who have fled their homelands in fear of persecution. The woman and child in this case have stated that instead of being protected, they were detained under harsh conditions in a Texas detention facility.
Several immigration detention centers throughout the nation have been shut down in recent times due to unhygienic conditions and inappropriate treatment of detainees. Many adults and children have claimed to have suffered both physical and emotional injuries while under the supervision of various detention center officials. Any immigrant in Georgia or elsewhere facing similar circumstances can contact an immigration and naturalization attorney for guidance.

The Trump administration has made clear the disdain for evidence that shows how human activity is affecting the planet. The administration is now proposing hefty budget cuts for government agencies including the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the Environment Protection Agency. Fear is now buzzing among researchers that government data will be deleted as a "cost-conscious" measure.
But let's make one thing clear: it is illegal to destroy government data. However, agencies have the autonomy to revise websites and create other barriers in accessing the information.
We have already seen drastic changes to websites of federal science agencies. These changes are reflective of the publicly stated priorities of the new administration which raised the concern of the vulnerability of the information painstakingly collected over decades which cost hundreds of billions of dollars. This information remains solely in the hands of the government, which spans across thousands of servers which may not be backed up and may be impossible to find.
Some activists refer to this as "dark data" because as Maxwell Ogden phrased it, "It's like dark matter; we know it must be there but we don't know where to find it to verify… If they're going to delete something, how will we even know it's deleted if we didn't know it was there?"

A lack of diversity in the tech industry has provided an opportunity for North Shore Community College students Egbert Sayers of Lynn, pictured right, and Ludmyla Almeida, Lynnfield, to be among 37 Fellows chosen for paid summer internships with regional tech companies, thanks to Hack.Diversity.
Hack.Diversity connects Black and Latino computer science and/or IT/Networking students from traditionally overlooked sources of talent into paid internships at partnered host companies – Boston's fastest-growing tech and healthcare companies -with the end-of-program goal to convert those internships into full-time offers. Additionally, they provide both the employer and employee with wrap-around training and support recognition that building networks and an inclusive workplace culture is integral to achieving a stronger, more diverse workforce in Boston's innovation economy.
"Taking the initiative to apply to Hack.Diversity is possibly one of the greatest decisions I have ever made," Sayers said. "Previously, I felt intimidated by thoughts of the high quality of my competition in the internship scene but they helped me to realize that I am that high quality.
"Thanks to this program I have made great strides in my technical abilities, networking and interviewing skills. I have Hack.Diversity to thank for nurturing me and encouraging me to nurture myself into the same top level candidate that I would have previously been intimidated by," he added.
"I applied to Hack.Diversity already thinking that I had very little chance of getting selected among the other students from four-year universities, but my professors and advisors from NSCC motivated me to continue the application and not to give up," recalled Almeida. "The selection was highly competitive; application components under consideration include resumes, transcripts, essays, coding challenges, interviews, and reference checks. When I learned that I got accepted to the program, I felt like that was my opportunity to grow and show my true potential"
"Through my experience in Hack.Diversity so far, I feel like I have access to the same opportunities as other students have to succeed in the STEM field," she said. "In the program, they helped me to build a strong resume and to build my confidence. I was also invited to attend dinners and networking events to connect with entrepreneurs from the Boston tech industry. Now I feel confident that I will succeed in the industry."
Fellow candidates had to meet certain eligibility requirements such as identifying as Black and/or Latino and studying computer science and/or IT/Networking-related fields. Candidates also had to complete an application that included their academic transcripts, references, short-answer questions and for those who made it to the second round, an interview.

The state Department of Transportation favors a proposed project to add a fourth lane for slow-moving trucks on an uphill portion of the westbound Simi Valley Freeway from Chatsworth into Ventura County, a Caltrans official said Wednesday.
The Los Angeles County Transportation Commission has recommended that Caltrans transfer $1.7 million in its 1987-88 budget for the project, a Caltrans official told the Ventura-San Fernando Valley Freeway Improvement Committee.
The official, Jerry Baxter, Caltrans deputy director for operations, urged the group of civic, business and government leaders from Ventura and Los Angeles counties to also seek funding to add a lane to the eastbound freeway.
"We certainly would support a project on the 118 Freeway," Baxter said.
The committee, which was formed six months ago to push for improvements on the freeway, first proposed the truck lane, which would run from Topanga Canyon Boulevard to Rocky Peak Road. The project also will include widening of the Iverson Road and Topanga Canyon Boulevard bridges.

Angelo James Konecki – Everything You Need To Know
On the outer surface, it seems that celebs have a perfect life, which anyone can dream of. However that hardly is the case if you are the celeb, as from future projects to rumors to the protection of loved ones, a celeb needs to be extra careful. Maybe that is the reason, why most of the celebs try hard to keep their family members away from the public eye. The same is the case with Adele, who was recently seen debunking the rumor of her separation from the former boyfriend, now husband, Simon Konecki. While the other time, she was seen trying to protect her son, Angelo James Konecki from the paparazzi.
Born on October 19, 2012, Angelo James Konecki first got the media attention when Adele dedicated her Golden Globe Award to her son. Back then, the singer straight away declined to reveal even his name, however, media still guessed the name accurately. As the singer was later spotted wearing a gold necklace with the name "Angelo".
The baby boy resembles more like her mother and even loves to copy her. In one interview, Adele revealed "My son swears at me. What can I say? Everything I do, he does. He even calls me a bloody bumhead,"
Angelo James Konecki Parents: How They Met?
Back in 2011, Adele had made it clear in an interview that she would remain single for a while to focus better on her work. As someone in her life could possibly distract her. It was the same time when she had even taken a break from her singing career due to a throat surgery. However, on being introduced to Simon Konecki, she later changed her mind. It is interesting to note that it was Ed Sheeran who was the common friend.
Since then she began dating Konecki as they enjoyed each other's company. While it was in June 2012, that she finally revealed about her baby, who was later born on 19 October 2012.
Who is Angelo James Konecki Father?
Born in April 1974 in New York, Simon Konecki studied at Eton College, after his family moved to the UK. A former director at EBS, he is a co-founder of Life Water, an eco-friendly brand. From his first marriage with Clary Fisher(2004-2008), he even has a daughter.

Jewel Of Kahana Oceanfront House, Maui
A circle of palm trees helps outline the 1/2 acre of private land surrounding the 9,232 sq. ft mansion made by Arri Lecron Architects. A spa, two pools (with cascading waterfalls), 8 bedrooms, 8.5 bathrooms and an extensive games room with pool, games tables and a home sports bar come with the house. The wooden dining table sits ten people so the residents can entertain many people at once. Each bedroom is an oceanfront master suite complete with a bath and wet bar and a flat screen TV. The designers wanted to bring the feeling of the ocean into the house and they did that by using light marble floors to mimic the colors of sandy beaches. The Jewel of Kahana also comes with a guest house, with one bedroom and one bathroom. The house ran for around $14.9 million.
