Michaela goes to Carlos' house and wants him to open up to her. She suspects that he is hiding the shooter's gun and wants to kill him. That is why he didn't ID him earlier, he wants revenge, not justice. When Carlos says he has no life, Michaela tells him she is haunted every day for having killed Evie. But it was an accident, unlike what Carlos is planning.

Carlos' heart hardened
Scene shift to Carlos' front porch. Michaela knocks on the door. The address number to Carlos' residence is 31 81.
The door opens.
CARLOS: What do you want?
MICHAELA: Same thing that I wanted earlier positive ID on your uncle's killer.
CARLOS: I told you I wasn't sure.
Carlos' heart softened
MICHAELA: Yeah, you also said that you don't think you saw a gun.
CARLOS: 'Cause I didn't.
MICHAELA: We didn't find a gun, Carlos, because you found it first. You stashed it away, failed to make an ID. Soon enough, that perp's back out on the street, at which point you take him out with his own gun.
CARLOS: You got no proof.
MICHAELA: No, I don't. I also don't have a search warrant, but I could get one. And if something happens, I now have a primary suspect. Don't do this. Don't throw your life away for revenge.
CARLOS: What life? I'm all alone.
MICHAELA: I know that feeling, okay? I also know what it's like to take someone's life because I did by accident. It haunts me every single day. I can't even imagine what it would be like to do that on purpose.
Michaela goes deeper with Carlos
Having first shown empathy to Carlos at the police station, she waits until now to tell him about the way she felt after Evie died.

LANCASTER - The Marauder men's basketball team knew it had it in them.
It just took a while and it let everything on the court, Saturday night as all five starters scored in double figures and AVC had its biggest scoring output of the season as it cruised to an easy 116-74 victory over visiting Glendale College at Marauder Gymnasium.
In all, the Marauders had seven players in double figures, led by Antone Warren, who had his best game of the season with 24 points and 12 rebounds.
"I felt like everybody put their differences aside and did what we had to do. Nobody wanted the season to be over," Warren said. "We all knew we had to step up. It was a good win. We didn't have that many turnovers. We all knew that if we wanted to make playoffs, we needed this win. We got up and kept our foot on the gas."
Now the Marauders have to play the waiting game as they find out their post season fate on Monday.
Reggie Byers and Jailen Gill each scored 15 points for AVC and Gill grabbed nine rebounds, while Byers had four assists. Cory Dollarhide had 13 points and Charles Hall had 11 points and seven assists. D'Mauria Jones came off the bench to score 18 points.
AVC, which scored 30 points off 25 Glendale turnovers, led 66-29 at halftime.

The former Governor of Anambra State, Mr. Peter Obi, has said that the decision by his government to build a Permanent Orientation Camp in Anambra State for National Youth Service Corps at Mbaukwu/Umuawulu was because the site at Umunya then was owned by the Anglican Diocese of Onitsha.
He said that the church generously allowed the government to use the structures over the years.
Obi disclosed this during the service the Catholic Corps members held at their Umunya temporary site preparatory to moving to their permanent site.
The former governor was represented at the event by his then Commissioners for Youths and Sports, Dr. Edozie Alor, and that of Housing, Mr. Patrick Obi.
At the event, Alor recalled how Peter Obi called Patrick Obi and himself to a meeting and charged them to work towards securing and completing the permanent site for the Orientation camp, insisting that it was not good for the state to continue using the structures owned by a church. "This was how we set out to work", Aroh said.
"We acquired the site at Mbaukwu/ Umuawulu, mapped it out, got the architectural drawings and necessary approvals, engaged the Chinese contractors building the Agulu Lake Hotel, paid them a mobilisation ees of over N400 million and set aside almost N600 million for its completion. The site ought to have been completed since, I am not in government and would not know what caused the delay, but we thank God that the movement to the new site has become feasible," Aroh said.
The highlight of the event was the presentation of awards of "Maxime Optimum Ducem (Most Excellent Leader)", by the Catholic Corps members to Mr. Peter Obi, for what the Chaplain, Fr. Clement Muozoba, described as "a recognition of his selfless and exemplary leadership."
He described him as the "best Governor Nigeria has had."

IF tequila is more your thing than beer or gin then you should head to Manchester on Saturday, August 26.
A festival dedicated to the spirit is being held at Bowlers Exhibition Centre from 1pm until 11pm including a full day of Mexican-themed music, piñatas and processions.
Guests will be handed a complimentary shot on arrival as well as a 'tequila bible' to guide them through more than 30 tequilas to try in cocktails and slammers.
The Wine and Spirit Trade Association recently reported UK sales have surged over the last two years, particularly of premium brands, rising by 37 per cent to £173million in 2016.
It's become so popular that some of the biggest names in entertainment have their own tequila brands, such as Justin Timberlake's 'Sauza 901', George Clooney's 'Casamigos'.
Nathan Reed, Tequila Festival organiser, said: "Tequila is a drink that is associated with a great party all across the world.
"However, it is also now being recognised as a more sophisticated, crafted drink.
"The festival will celebrate the remarkable diversity and history of this wonderful drink."

6 charged, including 3 teens, after semi-automatic rifle seized from Toronto home
Codi Wilson, CP24.com
Published Sunday, November 17, 2019 7:28AM EST

Six people, including three teens, are facing charges after a semi-automatic rifle was seized from a home in the city's Oakwood-Vaughan neighbourhood.
Police say a search warrant was carried out at a residence in the area of Rogers Road and Oakwood Avenue at around 5:30 p.m. on Friday.
During the search, police say a JR Carbine semi-automatic rifle and 24 rounds of ammunition were seized.
Six people were subsequently arrested and charged.
Police say Toronto residents Howard Moore, 42, Maria Moore, 41, and Sharjeel Khan, 18, have been charged with unauthorized possession of a firearm, possession of a firearm knowing its possession is unauthorized, and possession of a firearm obtained by crime.
Three teenage boys also face the same charges.
Investigators are asking anyone with additional information about the case to contact police or Crime Stoppers anonymously.

Lacey Turner made an emotional appearance on This Morning where she opened up about her two miscarriages.
The 30-year-old, who is married to Matt Kay, revealed how she struggled after the tragic events.
She said, ''We've been together half our lives so I just thought, you know, get married when I'm 20-something, have a baby and two years later have another baby. Then you get there and you think it doesn't work like that for everybody.''
She continued, ''We got a positive pregnancy test and we started picking out names, this that and the other. Then we got to seven weeks and we sadly lost it. It was heartbreaking.''
She added, ''My whole world crumbled and I couldn't understand it. I didn't know anybody that had been through this. I didn't understand why I felt so sad about something I'd never met. I thought what did I do? You sort of think, was my steak not cooked properly or did I lift the box? You drive yourself insane about all these things you might have done.''
Lacey suffered a miscarriage in 2018 at seven weeks pregnant and 18 months passed as they tried to fall pregnant again.
Lacey went on to say that when she was expecting again that she had got to the point that when she refused to believe it and told Matt not get excited when the pregnancy test was positive.
She got to seven weeks and realised that similar things were happening like before, so she feared that she was having another miscarriage.
She said, ''I just sat on the couch and cried, I thought, "I will go and see the scan man", I went and it had a heartbeat.'''
She continued, ''I ignored it until I was about ten weeks. Then thought maybe that will work. 'My family would say it's OK, but I would say to my mum don't talk about it. It wasn't until I got to 20 weeks I thought, "oh!"
She added, ''I thought if Matt and I shared our story we would be able to help another couple. We have been overwhelmed by the messages and people coming out and saying I have been through the same thing.'''
She wish her and Matt all the best with this pregnancy and a safe birth.

Roberto Mancini warned Greece and Bosnia are "the most dangerous opponents" in the Euro 2020 group, but Italy are moving towards a more attacking style of football.
The Azzurri go into their Euro 2020 qualifiers against Greece on June 8 and Bosnia-Herzegovina on June 11, having picked up full points against Finland and Liechtenstein.
The Champions League Final is this evening between Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, two very attack-minded teams, while Chelsea beat Arsenal 4-1 to win the Europa League.
"English teams are accustomed to always attacking, even after they've taken a strong lead. That is the beauty of their approach and why their games are never over until the final whistle," said former Manchester City manager Mancini in his Press conference.
"It has always been my own philosophy too, although a lot depends on the type of players at your disposal. At this moment, I am fortunate to have found Italian players with strong technique and this allowed us to play a certain type of football.
"The positives from Serie A compared to a year ago are that we have many more players suitable for the Nazionale. We've been able to find around 40 players who can be very important for Italy, among them 15-20 who are still very young.
"The negatives are that our clubs didn't reach the Finals of the two European competitions. There is a long and tough road ahead, but the lads have already started to gain a positive mentality.
"Over the last year, we've seen players really grow and mature, like Nicolò Barella, Nicolò Zaniolo and Moise Kean, who are doing really well to play at their current level. I think it's a good period for Italian youth, but then our football always does churn out talents.
"This is an important moment, as we need to raise our position in the rankings and qualify for Euro 2020. Greece and Bosnia are the opponents who could cause us the most problems in the group. I am not worried, but we must show the right level of respect for teams that are playing good football.
"I'd say Bosnia are the most dangerous, because they have a couple of players we know very well, such as Miralem Pjanic and Edin Dzeko."
There are reports Antonio Conte has asked Lele Oriali to join him at Inter, which would mean leaving his current role as team manager for Italy.
"I hope he doesn't leave, as we've formed a good group here now. I don't think he has made any decision yet," added Mancini.

21 Jul A Reminder That 'Fake News' Is An Information Literacy Problem – Not A Technology Problem – FORBES
Beneath the spread of all "fake news," misinformation, disinformation, digital falsehoods and foreign influence lies society's failure to teach its citizenry information literacy: how to think critically about the deluge of information that confronts them in our modern digital age. Instead, society has prioritized speed over accuracy, sharing over reading, commenting over understanding. Children are taught to regurgitate what others tell them and to rely on digital assistants to curate the world rather than learn to navigate the informational landscape on their own. Schools no longer teach source triangulation, conflict arbitration, separating fact from opinion, citation chaining, conducting research or even the basic concept of verification and validation. In short, we've stopped teaching society how to think about information, leaving our citizenry adrift in the digital wilderness increasingly saturated with falsehoods without so much as a compass or map to help them find their way to safety. The solution is to teach the world's citizenry the basics of information literacy.

Definitely not.
Between mocking liberals and a lack of many opposing views, Sean Hannity's new show is not fair and balanced. A conservative who most often agrees with Hannity, I have a problem with this. FOX shouldn't be able to keep their "Fair and Balanced" slogan with this show in their lineup. I propose that they moderate this program.
To mostly express one point of view without another is not helping FOX News. People are already doubting the fairness of the network, and this new show will only be used as proof of this.
More moderation can't hurt.

A doctor asks, "Is Lichfield MP Michael Fabricant suffering from Schrodinger's Member Syndrome?"
Westgate Medical Practice's celebrity doctor "Prof" Helen Stokes-Lampard (f) is concerned that the local member's voting record, in what has been a tumultuous shitfest of a week in British politics, exhibits symptoms of the so-called Schrodinger's Member Syndrome (SMS).
Dr Hilary said: 'My intimate knowledge of my patient coupled with my bourgeoning media career has given me ample opportunity to observe Michael in his natural habitat in Westminster. SMS is a psychological condition, little-known outside of the Parliamentary estate, enabling a politician to simultaneously hold two contradictory views of reality without any discernible internal conflict.'
On Tuesday evening Mr Fabricant was instrumental in delivering an historically humiliating defeat to his own Tory government when he voted against the Withdrawal Agreement.
On Wednesday evening he joined his fellow Tory raft-clingers and gave his whole-hearted support to the Tory government in a No Confidence vote.
Mr Fabricant commented: 'On Tuesday evening Mrs May was a treacherous Remainer who is failing to deliver the will of the British people. On Wednesday evening the PM was the most glorious leader this country has seen since Mrs Thatcher during the Falklands War. What's the problem?
'And, in common with Westgate, I've no idea who this Dr Strobes is. She most certainly has never entered me, nor me her. Obviously.
'But let's not confuse my ability to see all sides of an argument as being a symptom of this SMS. Forget Brexit and consider my unequivocal position on HS2 for example – I am a strong supporter of this major infrastructure project that will deliver huge commercial benefits to the whole nation. And I will be lobbying for the cancellation of this vanity project, it'll never be delivered on time or on budget. What could be clearer?'
Fellow Tory buffoon Jacob Ree-Smogg came to Mr Fabricant's aid: 'I see nothing inconsistent in Michael's position, it is entirely in alignment with my own. I whole heartedly support the PM and will campaign for her to be replaced at the earliest opportunity. More champers Nanny please!'
GP Dr Helen Stokes-Lampard commented: 'I did perform a digital rectal exam on Mr Fabricant when he presented with symptoms of laryngitis, but I have never publicly disclosed the deterioration in his mental health. However, I guess the cat is out of the bag now. Or the box. If it was ever in there, dead or alive.'
Mr Fabricant has asked that constituents contact him by email or Twitter in future as he will no longer be accepting text messages.

Binding of Hanatoxin to the Voltage Sensor of Kv2.1
Research School of Biology, Australian National University, Canberra, ACT 0200, Australia
Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Toxins 2012, 4(12), 1552-1564; https://doi.org/10.3390/toxins4121552
Received: 26 November 2012 / Revised: 10 December 2012 / Accepted: 14 December 2012 / Published: 18 December 2012
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Animal Venoms)
Hanatoxin 1 (HaTx1) is a polypeptide toxin isolated from spider venoms. HaTx1 inhibits the voltage-gated potassium channel kv2.1 potently with nanomolar affinities. Its receptor site has been shown to contain the S3b-S4a paddle of the voltage sensor (VS). Here, the binding of HaTx1 to the VSs of human Kv2.1 in the open and resting states are examined using a molecular docking method and molecular dynamics. Molecular docking calculations predict two distinct binding modes for the VS in the resting state. In the two binding modes, the toxin binds the S3b-S4a from S2 and S3 helices, or from S1 and S4 helices. Both modes are found to be stable when embedded in a lipid bilayer. Only the mode in which the toxin binds the S3b-S4a paddle from S2 and S3 helices is consistent with mutagenesis experiments, and considered to be correct. The toxin is then docked to the VS in the open state, and the toxin-VS interactions are found to be less favorable. Computational mutagenesis calculations performed on F278R and E281K mutant VSs show that the mutations may reduce toxin binding affinity by weakening the non-bonded interactions between the toxin and the VS. Overall, our calculations reproduce a wide range of experimental data, and suggest that HaTx1 binds to the S3b-S4a paddle of Kv2.1 from S2 and S3 helices. View Full-Text

A corporation is a legal entity completely separate from its owners, thereby limiting their liability. Corporations also issue shares of stock that are easily transferable which means that the continued existence of the business is not dependent on a specific individual. Incorporating is a good option for businesses wanting to attract investors with the goal of eventually going public.

The first step is to carefully consider the benefits and drawbacks of incorporating and to evaluate whether this is the right move for your business. Consult with your accountant and lawyer to gain a better understanding of the financial and legal implications of incorporating.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Incorporating:
Personal asset protection.
Double taxation.
Adds business credibility.
Time-consuming formalities.
Affords name protection.
Regular filings & annual fees.
Perpetual existence.
Additional paperwork.
Easier to raise capital.
Shared ownership.
Easy to transfer ownership.
More difficult to dissolve.
2. Decide in which state to incorporate.
Businesses can choose to incorporate in their home state or in another state in which they have an active business presence.
Deciding to incorporate in the state of your primary business is the least complicated option. Incorporating in the home state is sensible for businesses only operating in that state since, regardless of the state of incorporation, the business must still be registered and pay fees and taxes in every state in which it operates.
Incorporating out-of-state may be financially advantageous. If you have or intend to have active business locations in several states, it is worth researching the tax regulations, costs of incorporation and out-of-state qualification in each state to determine whether it might be more cost-efficient to incorporate out-of-state.
Some states are more business-friendly than others, making them a popular choice for most larger companies.

4. Decide on the type of corporation.
The two main types of corporations are C and S corporations. The main differences between the two are how they are taxed, the number of shareholders they can have, and how much stock can be issued.
A C corporation is good for fast-growing businesses eventually wanting to go public. This type of corporation is subject to corporate taxes but is not limited in the number of shareholders and class of stock that can be issued.
An S corporation is essentially a C corporation that qualifies for pass-through taxation. After incorporating a business is automatically a C corporation. To become an S corporation the business must apply for S corporation status. The requirements to qualify as an S corporation include the following:
- The business must be based out of the U.S. and filed as a U.S. corporation.
- The number of shareholders is limited to 100.
- Shareholders must be U.S. citizens or residents.
- Only one class of stock can be issued.
5. Appoint a registered agent.
Most U.S. states require businesses to appoint a registered agent. A registered agent is a corporation's official contact for communicating with the state. Corporations can appoint an individual or another company to act as their registered agent.
Have a look at our full list of registered agent service providers with pricing. Note that many incorporation service providers, should you choose to use one, include a year's registered agent service in their incorporation packages.
6. Prepare and file Articles of Incorporation.
The Articles of Incorporation refer to the legal document businesses are required to complete and file with the Secretary of State to create a corporation. Filing fees vary by state.
Articles of Incorporation typically include the following:
- Name of the corporation.
- Purpose of the corporation.
- Name and address of the appointed registered agent.
- Type of corporation.
- Duration of the corporation.
- Names and addresses of the initial board of directors.
- Name and signature of the incorporator.
7. Create corporate bylaws and start a corporate records book.
Corporations are required to draw up a set of bylaws to guide operations and ensure that all business activities and decisions are recorded for future reference.
Corporate bylaws are the rules that outline how business operations are to be run and what procedures must be followed. The purpose of a corporation's bylaws is to direct how the business is governed. It usually contains provisions regarding the way the corporation is to conduct business and defines the powers, duties, and responsibilities of the board of directors, officers, and employees.
Corporations are also required to maintain a corporate records book. This is where the corporation's essential documents and records that track operations and major decisions are kept.
8. Hold the first board meeting.
The incorporator is responsible for organizing the very first board meeting of a new corporation in which the initial board of directors officially adopts the corporate bylaws, elects a permanent board of directors, issues stocks, and makes other pertinent resolutions.
Next Steps:
- Get an Employer Identification Number (EIN).
- Open a business bank account.
- File Form 2553 with the IRS should you want to apply for S corporation status.
- Apply for trademark protection.
- File a DBA if you intend on using a variation of the official business name.
- Research corporate compliance requirements.
- Get business insurance.

Wet wool felting is not only the most ancient, but also one of the most popular wool fiber processing methods today, which help create amazing and very beautiful felt products.
To practice wet felting, first, you will need to prepare a fairly simple set of tools that will be needed during work. The most important tools are skillful hands and a ballwoman, thanks to whom truly unique works of art are created.
Since during the work your hands become the main tool, you will need to take care of their protection in advance. So, before you begin to create a picture of wool, without fail, wear rubber or plastic gloves. And after completion of work, it will be necessary to apply any nourishing cream on the skin of the hands.
Following from the technique of the most wet felting, it occurs precisely under the influence of water. In order for the process to go much faster, more experienced masters advise to use only hot water, but not boiling water, otherwise you simply will not be able to work.
You will be able to significantly accelerate the entire process of stalling wool if you use not just plain hot water, but pre-prepared soap solution. To make it, you will need to take a solid or liquid soap (everything depends directly on your personal choice). A certain category of roller holders is used only liquid detergents. However, at the same time, to create the necessary soap solution, the simplest and most inexpensive laundry soap that is practically in every home is just perfect.
So, if you want to use a liquid solution to create a soap solution, then take 1 tbsp. water (as described above, hot) and dissolve soap in it (0.5 tsp). Mix everything well - the solution for work is completely ready, after which you can begin the process of felting from wool.
In the event that you use a special olive, toilet or laundry soap for felting, then take it and grate 100 g on a grater (large). Then pour it with boiling water (2 l) and mix everything well. Now wait a while until the solution becomes thicker, after which you can use it directly for wet felting. Most importantly, he had time to cool down, and was not too hot.
Do not forget that for the most wet felting, you must also prepare wool. Taking into account what kind of crafts you decided to do, it is necessary to choose the type of wool suitable for felting (felting).
Making a picture
To make a beautiful picture with the help of wet felting, you will need the following materials:
- Bath of water (hot);
- Colored beads;
- Mosquito netting (can be replaced with inexpensive bubble polyethylene);
- Soap (bar or liquid);
- Woolen yarn;
- Wool for felting (it is advisable to use purple, yellow, green, blue and white).
Once all materials have been prepared, you can proceed directly to the wool felting process itself:
- First, lay the wool. Spread a simple bamboo mat and begin the layout. From the skein of wool, gently draw out individual fibers and lay them on the mat strictly in the vertical direction. The basis of our picture will be white wool.
- We begin the creation of the background of the picture, the sky and the grass, alternately pulling out tufts of wool of the corresponding color and spread them over white, but now we are doing the work in the horizontal direction of the fibers.
- Now we begin to lay out the 2nd layer in the background - we pull out small tufts of wool and lay them in the vertical direction of the fibers. You need to start from the sky, gradually moving to the grass. Make sure that the wool green overlaps a little blue.
- We lay the wool on top with a pre-prepared mosquito net and we moisten the entire surface of the product with pre-cooked hot soapy water.
- Gently press the wool with the palms so that it can be completely soaked with water and become as flat as possible.
- Next, carefully remove the mesh and twist the stalks of flowers from wool yarn, then lay them on top of the panel.
- We take small bundles of yellow wool and separate the fiber so that it becomes like a cloud of air. On top of our stalk we put a cloud and form a flower bud. After that, according to the same scheme, we make 2 more buds, but now they are purple.
- Again, we cover the picture with a mosquito net and wet the area of buds well with hot soapy water.
- Over the entire surface of the picture there are three bars of soap, but very carefully, so as not to accidentally damage the structure of the display, otherwise the work will have to start over. Now with circular light movements gradually rub the surface of the picture.
- After about 10 minutes, you will notice how the fibers began to bond with each other. The most important thing is to make sure that the fibers are not tangled in the mosquito net, so every few minutes it will need to be shifted.
- As soon as the wool acquires the structure of a sufficiently dense web, it will be possible to remove the mosquito net, then gently twist the panel into a roll with a bamboo mat and put it vertically so that all excess water is drained.
- Now roll the roll on the table with both hands for several minutes (approximately 30 times in both directions).
- We unfold the roll and shift our product to the other side, then roll it up again and roll it around the table for a few more minutes.
- Again, roll out the roll and turn the product 90 degrees and roll the roll again. The picture needs to be rolled until it acquires the structure of a homogeneous felt.
- We rinse the finished product in cold water. You need to make sure that no soapy water is left in the wool fibers.
- We shift the picture onto a terry towel and gently squeeze so that all the excess water is gone.
- We spread the picture and leave for a while so that it can dry out well (approximately from 12 to 24 hours). As soon as the felt is completely dry, we sew beads to the center of each bud.
Making flowers from wool: master class
To create a beautiful and unusual flower, you need to adhere to the following instructions:
- Take the wool, and scoop a length of about 15 cm from it.
- The strand is folded in the shape of a droplet.
- According to the same scheme, we form another 5 petals, and combine them in the form of a flower.
- Take a skein of wool of a different shade and cover it with a flower so that the petals are interconnected.
- Chopped wool fibers crumble into the center of the flower.
- We moisten the flower with pre-cooked hot soapy solution.
- We cover it with a bumpy captivity and lightly sway it for a couple of minutes.
- Raise the free part of the film and roll it into a roll.
- We roll the roll back and forth at least 50 times.
- We unfold the film, turn the pattern 90 degrees, roll a new roll and roll it over the table again.
- Unfold the film, turn it face down.
- We shift the flower on the hand and with the index finger of the second hand in the center we work on the flower, giving it the desired shape.
- We stretch the petals lightly in different directions, then we fold them inwards and fail well.
- Ready flower with a large force throw at least 20 times on a fairly hard surface.
- To give the flower the correct shape, it must be rolled and rolled between the palms at least 20 times.
- First rinse the flower in hot and then in cold water. Thanks to such actions you will completely wash the soap from the wool, the product will shrink a little, and the petals will get a more lush shape.
- Leave the flower for some time (about 24 hours) so that it can dry well, then decorate the product with beads or other decorations.

St. Bernardus Abt 12 – Jack Tipple's Year of Beer Challenge Week 49
Dark with a full, ivory-colored head. It has a fruity aroma, full of complex flavors and excels because of its long bittersweet finish with a hoppy bite. It's a very balanced beer, with a full-bodied taste and a perfect equilibrium between malty, bitter, and sweet. This beer is one of the original recipes from the days of license-brewing for the Trappist monks of Westvleteren.
We at Tipple's love to try new beers all the time and we're sure that you do too. In honor of that we have designed a program to help you try new beer and perhaps revisit some old beers you haven't had in quite a while. For Jack Tipple's Year of Beer Challenge we will feature a different beer every week.
If you purchase that beer on the given week we will punch your card. Once you have completed 52 weeks of featured beers we will give you your choice of a Tipple's Koozie or Tipple's Pint glass and you will have your name added to our plaque on the wall and be immortalized in the annals of Tipple's History.

How Private are you?
I do a lot of shady ****... Not weird lol, just things I'm embarrassed of like I have my own novel I use on google drive, and burner instagram accounts for hating...
Question is can someone see what you've viewed online say if they were fixing your phone. If my cousin fixes my phone or laptop can he see my past inprivate browsing, my google drive or instagrams (even if I logged out and cleared history)? How Private are we really..?

If you dig around in your Google account you will find out just how private you are. Complete search history, timeline and map of your location history and more. The IP of your device is tracked as well so doing your instagram accounts you should use proxies or a vpn. Rather than using the burner accounts for goofing off, you should find a way to monetize them.

This summer, on August 21st, a total solar eclipse will pass over northeast Georgia. The eclipse will be about 97% total at the GSU campus, but will be completely total in Dillard, Georgia.
Astronomers from the Department of Physics and Astronomy will be in several locations to narrate and explain the event:
- Rabun Gap-Nacoochee School in Dillard, GA. This eclipse party is a NASA Official Viewing Location. More info here here.
- Downtown Atlanta GSU campus. More info here.
- Decatur GSU campus. More info here.
If you cannot travel to the path of the total eclipse, consider joining a GSU on-campus observing group who will host observing sessions between 1PM and 4PM on August 21 at (1) Langdale Plaza, (2) at the plaza in front of 25 Park Place, and (3) in conference room #223 of 25 Park Place. The Sun will appear 97% blocked from Atlanta, but the glare from the 3% remaining sunlight renders the corona invisible. An interactive map of the Eclipse path with details such as duration and start and end times are given here.
If you are interested in volunteering, contact Ben McGimsey at email@example.com.

Plastisol Ink Printing
When it comes to screen printing the most commonly used ink universally is most likely going to be plastisol ink. Why is that the case? Well for starters it is very user friendly, has good screen life and its almost impossible for it to go bad aside from it curing, and it adheres (sticks) to almost anything that can withstand the curing temperature.
Sounds awesome right? Well everything in this world has its ups and its downs. So you just read how awesome this stuff is. It wont ever dry out, easy to learn with and it sticks to pretty much anything that can take the heat. Well now the down falls of plastisol. It leaves a little thicker feel on the shirt, people complain about it being hard to mix at times and you need to use stronger chemicals to clean your screens.
So now let's talk about a few tips that will help you when printing with plastisol since there are complaints of it getting hard to mix and causing fibrillation sometimes. Fibrillation is when the shirt fibers get pulled up from the shirt. this normally happens when printing whites. Ok now back to it, so plastisol will not dry and a lot of the times when printers complain about the ink being hard to mix it has normally sat on the shelf for a while and the oils have separated from the ink. Before you think that the ink is a goner the first thing you need to do is mix that ink. A lot of the times when people are saying their plastisol ink is ruined it's an issue of mixing. MIX MIX MIX! this will get the ink back to its normal state of a nice creamy body that is easy to work with on the screen.
In cooler areas meaning colder climate, your inks can get all stiff making it hard to mix. Don't worry your ink isn't messed up, in this situation all you have to do is warm up the ink temperature and mix it a little to get it back to its creamy printable texture. Plastisol can put up with a lot which is why it makes itself an easy base to learn on.
Oh yea! And another thing to know about plastisol ink is plastisol ink will work for pretty much any fabric but when you start to print on 50/50 or tri-blends that contain polyester and other fabrics you can run into issues with dye migration. Meaning if you take a normal white for your standard cotton shirt and you print on a polyester it might look fine at first but little but little that color from your shirt is going to start tinting your white ink. So if you printed white on a red poly shirt the inks going to start turning pink. Yes, it does happen we are not making this up, and it's not worth finding out when you have a print job for a customer.
Ok that's it for now but in the future we will cover the soft hand that plastisol can have as well. Your plastsiol print doesn't have to feel rough and thick like everyone says. so keep your eyes peeled for that blog post in the near future.
Catch you guys later and remember if you have any questions hit us in the DM on instagram or drop us a line on our live chat that is available Monday-Friday.

In the run-up to the festive season, criminals are going to get increasingly desperate and more creative. In fact, Pretoria SAPS are already warning drivers about the latest scheme devised by hijackers.
The police department has laid bare the scheme to the Pretoria Rekord, giving it the codename "Good Samaritan". The criminals will "inform" unsuspecting motorists that there is something wrong with their car – telling them to pull over and check it out.
SAPS: How hijackers are tricking their victims
The first car will then drive off, allowing the potential victim to park at the side of the road by themselves. However, a second car will then pull in next to the target vehicle, and that's where they will pounce.
Their usual Modus Operandi is to pretend something is wrong with "the rear-left tyre" – as that's the wheel most obscured from a motorist's immediate view.
It happened twice in less than one hour on Wednesday 5 December: One motorist was forced into the back of a VW Polo, had his cell phone and cash stolen from him, and was eventually dropped off at Cosmo City. The gang moved to nick his Toyota Hilux once he was bundled into the backseat.
The other victim had his bakkie stolen when he was duped into investigating his back-tyre. In what was essentially a duplicate of the first attack, the same belongings were stolen as he was forced to lie down before being discarded at Eldorado.
"Good Samaritan" crimes on the rise
It follows in the footsteps of the "money bomb" scheme which operates on the same principles, but in a different context. Criminals are also targeting people using public ATMs, and hoping to appeal to their human nature.
Scammers will follow someone from the cash machine, drop a wad of money near them (made up mainly of sheets of paper), and ask them if it's theirs. If they say no, they ask the person if they feel like splitting it "somewhere quieter". Once you're secluded from public view, the robbers will then mug you for the original amount you withdrew.
Don't let your guard down this Christmas: Be safe, be smart.

Scottish transport secretary Michael Matheson has 'expressed delight' that a significant section of the long-delayed Aberdeen bypass project is set to be opened next week.
The Aberdeen Western Peripheral Route (AWPR/B-T) project has caused many arguments between Transport Scotland and its contractors - who carry the costs for scheme delays.
Following the collapse of Carillion in January, Galliford Try is one of two remaining parties (with Balfour Beatty) to Aberdeen Roads Limited (ARL), the consortium building the road.
As recently as November, a row flared up after Galliford Try confirmed the project would be delayed until December due to complications and weather delays with the Don Crossing section.
The recent announcement follows 'weeks of intensive talks with the project's contractor'.
This news comes after ARL informed the Rural Economy and Connectivity Committee that its lenders have agreed to open the new section of road between the A90 at both Stonehaven and Craibstone and the A956 between Cleanhill and Charleston.
The new section will provide North East road users with access to around 20 miles (32km) of new road, which means more than 85% of the project will be open to traffic from next week.
Mr Matheson, said: 'It is disappointing my personal intervention was required in order to move this matter forward. I question why it has taken ARL this long to release these benefits to the North East when the road has been ready to open on October 5 and payments to ARL could have commenced earlier.
However, he added: 'We should also keep in mind that technical issues with the Don Crossing are the sole reason the road is not open today.
'ARL has said it aims to finish the bridge before Christmas but has also correctly warned the remaining works are complex, very weather sensitive and subject to safety and quality tests. We should therefore treat this optimistic programme with caution.'
The opening date and information for road users will be provided as soon as possible.
This new section is addition to the Balmedie and Tipperty section, which opened in August 2018, the Parkhill and Blackdog, which in June 2018, and the Craibstone Roundabout and Dyce Drive section, which opened in September 2016.

Review of an interesting restaurant written for The Maine Sunday Telegram when I served as restaurant reviewer there. Menu, prices, and possibly other information are now out of date.
John Chuckman
Thailand Restaurant is located on Wharf Street, a cobbled lane with the atmosphere of early urban New England, lined with restaurants that in the warm weather spill out of their doors and windows onto the pavement with little clusters of tables.
Despite this fine setting, the entrance to Thailand is less than promising. The door opens onto a narrow hallway that gives you the sense of entering a basement. The dining room is small and, I think it fair to say, makes a drab impression. There is an odd collection of decorations varying from a coach-light sharing one wall with a large photo-mural of a Thai temple to some shelves with a collection of kitschy plaster statues, including religious figures, and Thai tourist mementos. Along the way there is a copy of an 18th century, wall-mounted, pendulum clock, a strange mix of potted plants and flowers, and a dark green pedestal fountain burbling water. Simple blonde wooden tables with paper place mats stand on tired red indoor-outdoor carpet. The glass candle holders on each table are old Christmas decorations.
And the appearance of the menu itself is a little discouraging with its system of letters and numbers for each item and its chart of meats that may be added to various curries, stir-fries, or noodles. One can't help but think of a fast-food menu.
But appearances can be deceiving, as they proved to be at Thailand.
We relaxed with some beer. Thai food, which tends to be seasoned with a good deal of chili or in some cases is sweet with fruit, goes handsomely with beer. Our choices were Singha, a Thai import ($3.75), and Casco Bay ($3). Singha has a slightly sweet taste.
We ordered soup while studying the complicated menu, and, as soon as we sipped our hot-and-sour and coconut soups ($3.50 each) from large, bowl-like cups, we knew that Thailand was a serious restaurant. Thai hot-and-sour soup uses lime juice for the sour component instead of the rice-wine vinegar in its perhaps better known Chinese counterpart. Its basic lime-and-chili-flavored chicken broth is turned into a wonderful soup with lemon grass, coriander, scallions, and plump shrimp. Sometimes tomatoes are included, but not in Thailand's version. Coconut soup blends coconut milk, ginger, lime-flavored chicken broth, scallions, coriander, and shrimp.
These were both delicious.
Thai food has some of world's most mouth-watering appetizers, so much so that I've imagined - undoubtedly inspired by the delightful Chinese custom of dim sum - having a wonderful meal of nothing but a large assortment of appetizers. The offerings on Thailand's menu would permit you to do just that - including skewers of chicken satay, tiny, crispy egg rolls, deep-fried, coconut-coated shrimp, and spicy, marinated chicken wings. We read the list with relish and picked two favorites, fresh spring rolls and steamed chicken dumplings ($7 each).
The fresh spring rolls were the best I've had, and that includes my own. These are a sensational mix of cucumber, carrot, lettuce, bean sprouts, basil leaves, and bits of shrimp and chicken wrapped in the traditional steamed rice paper. They were large, generous rolls, and every vegetable was fresh and crisp. Thailand serves them with a version of the usual sweet, garlic dipping sauce but adds a second thick, rich bean sauce I've not tasted before. The bean sauce was magic with the spring rolls. All the sauces were served in amounts adequate for lavish dipping.
One of my favorite treats in Asian cooking is dumplings. Chinese, Korean, Japanese, or Thai - I adore a well made dumpling. And the dumplings at Thailand were beautifully made, gently crimped half-moon shapes, glistening from steam, aromatic with fresh cilantro. Inside each melt-in-your-mouth wrapper, dripping with sweet chili-soy dipping sauce, there was a plump morsel of Thai-seasoned ground chicken. Eating just doesn't get much better than this.
The range of entrees at Thailand includes chicken, duck, beef, pork tenderloin, seafood, and tofu. These come combined in several cooking methods with various medleys of bamboo shoots, carrots, onions, peanuts, cashews, pineapple, coconut, tomatoes, broccoli, mushrooms, green pepper, celery, green beans, peas, scallions, zucchini, eggplant, plus the pungent flavorings of lime, lime leaf, chili, lemon grass, ginger, garlic, sweet basil, and mint. Apart from its delightful tastes, Thai food makes it almost impossible to eat without getting a balanced diet.
Our entrée of tamarind duck ($16) was a stir-fry of tender pieces of duck, green pepper, cashew nuts, ginger, onions, peas, and chunks of pineapple, in a tamarind-based sauce. The exquisite flavor of tamarind - tartly sweet and savory - is used in a number of South Asian cuisines, and I've not had it with duck, but the two make a very happy marriage.
Our special of soft-shell crab, Royal Thai ($18), was a beautiful dish. A bowl of vegetables - onions, baby corn, carrot, mushrooms, bean shoots, and peas - pineapple, and cashews topped with chunks of lightly battered, deep-fried crab. Slices of orange were tucked around the sides with halves of cherry tomatoes decorating each slice. The dish was as flavorful as it looked. The vegetables were fresh, the sauce mildly sweet with the flavors of ginger and garlic. The crab pieces were crisp on the outside and tender inside with the clear taste and texture of the shellfish.
There are no desserts on the menu at Thailand, and our very polite waiter, after patiently boxing up the remains of our little feast, perhaps felt that mentioning dessert seemed excessive. And the truth was that neither of us were inclined to have dessert, but I asked him, just for information, and he said there was a cheesecake.
Our bill was $73.30. There can be no doubt that dining pleasure is enhanced by attractive surroundings, there being a strong element of theater in the restaurant business. But for this lover of good food, atmosphere never substitutes for cooking. And excellent cooking is what there is plenty of at Thailand. I left thinking we had discovered quite a special little restaurant, just the place to go back for that meal of appetizers.

I had class tonight and didn't get home until about 9:30, so wasn't able to fit in any painting or crafting. But I like staying in the habit of posting every day, so I thought I share this: http://live.ipanda.com
As you can probably guess from the name - it's a panda-cam! Actually, it's 10 different panda cams at a giant panda sanctuary in China. (It's the pandas that are giant, not the sanctuary...although the property does seem pretty sprawling.)
With the time difference between Alaska & China, I find the bears are most active when I view the cameras later in the evening. I don't even want to tell you how much time I've spent watching these cuties. :o)

Sister Stephen Ann Zawacki, O.P.
Rosalie Zawacki
Sister Stephen Anne was born in Houston, Texas to Helen and Steve Zawacki. Sister Stephen Anne is the youngest of three and attended All Saints Catholic School and St. Agnes Academy. She entered Sacred Heart Convent after graduating from St. Agnes Academy in 1959. Sister Stephen Anne remembers the sisters who taught her in school. "I had been with Dominican sisters in school my whole life. It is ultimately God who inspires you to religious life, but the sisters definitely had something to do with it. They were happy in what they were doing and I wanted that." She remembers fondly Sister Mary Joseph Roach who taught her in the eighth grade and then served as her principal at St. Peter the Apostle Catholic School when Sister Stephen Anne began teaching.
Sister Stephen Anne's first teaching assignment was at St. Peter the Apostle Catholic School in Houston, Texas where she taught first grade. She enjoyed teaching the young children and for fourteen years Sister Stephen Anne taught first grade at five other schools including St. Augustine Catholic School in Houston, Texas, Sacred Heart Catholic School in Galveston, Texas, St. Francis de Sales Catholic School in Riverside, California, St. Christopher Catholic School in Houston, Texas and St. Francis de Sales Catholic School in Houston, Texas. During these years of teaching Sister Stephen Anne attended and graduated from Dominican College with a Bachelor's in English.
In 1975 Sister Stephen Anne was asked to be principal at St. Francis de Sales Catholic School in Riverside, California and served the community there for six years. In 1981 she became the Dean of Students at St. Agnes Academy. During her eight years as Dean of Students she studied toward a Master's in Administration from the University of San Francisco, finishing the degree in 1987.
In 1989 she became principal at St. Anne Catholic School in Houston, Texas where she served that community for four years. In 1994 she spent a year teaching third grade at St. Francis de Sales Catholic School in Houston, Texas and then moved to Austin where she became Assistant Superintendent of Schools in the Austin Diocese. "I would visit all of the schools and really loved it." After two years as Assistant Superintendent she served as principal and teacher at Dominican Academy in Austin, Texas and then in 2001 she spent a year teaching at Galveston Catholic School in Galveston, Texas. In 2002 Sister Stephen Anne went to teach in Texas City, Texas. "I made it full circle going back to teaching first grade again." For the next eleven years she taught the first graders atOur Lady of Fatima Catholic School in Texas City, Texas.
During her years teaching, Sister Stephen Anne attended Loyola University in Los Angeles, California, University of California in Riverside, California and University of Houston in Houston, Texas where she received additional certifications and instruction.
One of the ministries Sister Stephen Anne has really enjoyed over the years is the girls' summer camp sponsored by the Dominican Sisters of Houston. For over a decade she has worked alongside other Dominican Sisters, teaching the young girls who attend the camp about the outdoors. "I really enjoy being there with the sisters. We work together teaching the girls about fishing, archery, and doing arts and crafts." For Sister Stephen Anne the camp brings forth one of the things she loves most about being a Dominican sister. "I love community life and the companionship of the other sisters."
Sister Stephen Anne has lived in Galveston, Texas for the past thirteen years. Last year she worked at the Kiddie Kampusdaycare taking care of the children there. "I really enjoyed it. I loved working with the babies in the nursery." Sister Stephen Anne worked at the daycare until she took a full time position working as a receptionist for the fishing boat company, William's Party Boat, scheduling fishing expeditions and answering fishing questions for the curious fisher people wanting to learn to fish. Sister Stephen Anne has been deep sea fishing since the 1980's and she loves it. "I love being in Galveston where I am near the water. I would fish everyday if I could." When she is not near the water she enjoys reading and yard work.

- Rabi~en~Rose (ラ・ビ・アン・ローズ), also known by her real name, Hikaru Usada (うさだ ヒカル) is revealed to the viewer to be Dejiko's rival. Her name was decided following a request for reader submissions, and may be a play on a number of things. "Rabi~en~Rose" may be a play on the common French saying "La Vie en Rose" which means "life in rose-pink". The Japanese expression "spend a life in rose-pink" means to spend a life without any worries. "Rabi" which resembles the English word "rabbit" replaced "La vie" to form a pun to mean "Rabbit in life without worries", which suggests her personality. Her real name is Hikaru Usada, which she hates being called. Her "Usada" surname also is a pun, as the "Usa" part is a shortening of the word "usagi", which means "rabbit" in Japanese. Her name is also meant to resemble the famous Japanese pop singer, Hikaru Utada.
- In the original anime, she is seen as a normal girl who uses dice to transform into her bunnygirl outfit: a pink, white and red dress with large white rabbit ears and a large round cotton tail. Her parents left her to live on her own in an attempt to help her become an idol. Rabi~en~Rose does not end her sentences with a rabbit sound (typically pyo in anime) and is the only character with kemonomimi animal traits other than Rik. Ky, and Coo in the Di Gi Charat franchise not to do so.

Jon Whitney: No guarantees Matt Preston will sign with Saddlers
Walsall boss Jon Whitney admits there is now "no guarantee" Matt Preston will stay at Walsall as talks continue with the defender over a new deal.
Discussions between the Saddlers and centre-back have been ongoing since the end of last season, with Whitney recently indicating an agreement had been reached to keep the 22-year-old academy product at the Banks's. But things now appear very much back in the balance and there is an increasing likelihood Preston will officially become a free agent next week with his future still undecided.
Despite training with the club during pre-season, he has not featured in the Saddlers past two friendly matches against Chester and Albion.
Whitney said: "Matt's contract is up on Monday. We are still in negotiations to see if we can do something but nothing is guaranteed yet.
"He is still about the club but we are still negotiating to see if we can do something. The key thing is he has done all of pre-season. The kid is fit.
"It's just a matter of seeing of we can come to an agreement. We are working on things but have not come to an agreement yet with Matty."
Continued uncertainty over Preston and a hip injury to James O'Connor means the Saddlers are currently short on defensive reinforcements.
O'Connor has undergone further scans this week but while Whitney does not expect the 32-year-old to require surgery, he will not be ready for the League One opener at Bury on Saturday week.
The Saddlers visit Lincoln, where Whitney made more than 100 appearances as a player, for a pre-season friendly tomorrow. The Imps were promoted back to the Football League last season.
Whitney said: "As soon as I was planning pre-season I contacted them early. I thought they would go up.
"We like to play a League Two team for the final game. It is probably one of my favourite clubs.
"I love the city. You go to certain places and feel like you are going home in a way. I have fond memories. I am proud to go back there as a manager."

Geikie Gorge fish deaths
Released 16 Dec 2015
Tests into the water conditions in the remote Geikie Gorge in Kimberley where dead fish were found last month indicate low oxygen levels as the most likely cause of death.
Department of Water Executive Director Regional Delivery and Regulation Paul Brown said the review of all the information gathered from the event indicated this was an event where the first rains after a dry spell had depleted oxygen in the water killing the fish.
The incident was initially reported by a local tour operator visiting the national park to the Department of Parks and Wildlife who initially attended the site to retrieve fish carcasses.
Scientists from Murdoch University's Freshwater Fish Group and Fish Health Unit were contacted and responded as several of the dead Freshwater Sawfish and Bull Sharks were tagged as part of an ongoing research program. The Department of Fisheries also visited the site after receiving a call to FishWatch.
"This has happened on the cusp of the dry to wet season, and fish kills can often occur in conditions where rains wash organic matter into pools that are stagnant with low water levels and the resulting microbial activity uses up available oxygen causing fish deaths," Mr Brown said.
It is estimated that 12 Freshwater Sawfish, 9 Bull Sharks, a Freshwater Whipray, a catfish, numerous bivalves and Cherabin died over several days around 27 November 2015.
Mr Brown said the remote location, delays between the likely time of deaths and the discovery of bodies, and travel times required to respond meant fish samples were too decomposed for pathology testing.
"Observations from respondents noted the water was black, tannin stained, and likely to have carried large amounts of biologically active matter into the water where rapid bacterial decomposition occurred.
"Measurement of the oxygen levels in the water by Murdoch scientists support this, as do further observations that fish able to swim at the surface where the water is hotter but there is oxygen, such as barramundi, were not affected by the event.
Mr Brown said test results for algae toxic to fish conducted by the Department of Water did not indicate this as a likely cause, but that tests were limited by the conditions in which they were taken.
He said the response to the incident was greatly assisted by Murdoch University staff and students.
"We often rely on the first respondents in these incidents in remote areas, and the quicker the agencies are informed, the better quality evidence we can gather."
Contact with dead fish found in the wild should be avoided and the Department of Health advises against eating or handling of fish found in these circumstances, or fishing or recreating in waterways during a fish kill or algal bloom event.
People are asked to report any fish deaths to the Department of Fisheries FishWatch on 1800 815 507.
Algal blooms should be reported to ALGALWATCH 08 6250 8064 (office hours).

A pregnant Stomper expressed her disappointment with her fellow commuters when nobody offered her a seat during her 40-minute bus ride today (Oct 5) at around 7.30am.
In a phone interview, the Stomper, who is seven months pregnant, spoke on how so many of the passengers on the bus service 188 appeared to be sleeping.
"Some just slept immediately when they saw me," she said.
She shared a photo of her belly with Stomp where it was very apparent that she was heavily pregnant.
She ended up standing all the way from Bukit Batok to Kent Ridge.
"Usually, taking the bus is not a problem for me but for some reason, the bus today was more crowded than usual."
She told Stomp that she did not ask for someone to give up a seat herself because she was afraid of any confrontation.
"I just hope that people can be more generous, considerate and courteous," she added.
"My intention is for others to be more aware of their surroundings and of the needy.
"I don't mean that a pregnant lady must be offered a seat but when I travel to other countries like Taiwan, their reserved seats are empty even during peak hours."

The Sheraton, Boston MA
Research Brief: Aligning Data Strategies with Advanced Business Enablement
brought to you by WBR Insights
Quality data is the foundation of successful financial services, and next-generation technologies like AI and machine learning cannot function effectively without it. The next great challenge for data management teams is to achieve data quality that successfully aligns with business objectives, driving technologies and other capabilities that contribute to the bottom line.
FIMA partnered with the WBR Insights research team to complete a comprehensive survey for our upcoming report, Aligning Quality Initiatives with Future Investments in Data Management. Together, we benchmarked the successful application of new investments to discover how data quality contributes to business initiatives. We also asked data management leaders across financial services to share their strategies for driving business value in the future.
Prioritizing Business Value
Most survey respondents are at management, director, head, or VP levels (77%) and have data management teams of 25 or fewer (58%). Another 18% of organizations have data management teams of 26 to 100 members; 17% of respondents have teams of 500 or more.
Our first major finding was that directly improving ROI on business initiatives and investments is a central part of data management strategy for the vast majority of organizations (78%).
For example, when asked to share the key factors that contribute to the high quality of her data, one VP, Data Management identified: "Alignment with our business partners in terms of the levels of quality expected for retail clients [and a] strong partnership with business partners during [the] data/project implementation phase."
However, 50% of organizations claim the alignment of their data quality with business success is only adequate, below average, or poor--meaning they struggle with environments that take away from business success. (Three statistics measured are not shown in the chart.)
Those who rate their data quality in these ways shared their greatest contributors to those shortcomings. Their reasons include a lack of ability to pull data in a manner that can benefit a broad range of customer needs, complications associated with too many differing systems--they "aren't talking to each other consistently"--data gaps, and a lack of proper training, among others.
We can infer that, among the 50% of data management leaders that rate their data quality's alignment in this way, many nonetheless prioritize improving ROI as a central part of their strategies. In other words, they are falling short of their goals.
Facilitating Business Enablement
As a result, many data teams are reprioritizing their technologies in terms of business enablement. For the purpose of this article, our researchers categorized both Big Data & Advanced Analytics and Secure & Scalable Cloud technologies as 'modern business enablement' tools; they categorized both robotic process automation (RPA) and blockchain as 'advanced business enablement tools' to highlight differences in data teams' utilization of these technologies.
The results indicate that the vast majority of data teams are leveraging data for modern business enablement technologies--30% are leading the industry in big data and analytics, and 21% are leading the industry in secure and scalable cloud.
Meanwhile, most organizations are either not utilizing or developing data capabilities for advanced business enablement technologies. Thirty-seven percent are not using RPA while 30% are developing data capabilities for RPA; 45% are not using blockchain, while 27% are developing data capabilities. Less than 10% claim they are leading the industry, in each case.
(These are only four of eight items measured in this portion of the study. See the full report for additional results.)
"In order to offer high business standards, procurement of data should be secured and collected data reliable in nature. Only when the data is useful, we are able to create strategies and present viable solutions to clients for better business prospects."
Director, Global Data Center Operations, multinational finance and insurance corporation
Even as data teams take early steps towards aligning data management with business initiatives, others are recording great successes in cybersecurity, educating and empowering users to leverage data, and better aligning data with business strategy and growth.

With all of the conspiracy theory going around in recent years about government planned FEMA camps and police state rule, certain incidents leave us to wonder what exactly constitutes conspiracy and what is actually based in truth.
On Day 3 of the Charlotte, North Carolina protests against police brutality, RBG activist, Evil Jesus (EJ) makes some poignant observations.
In keeping with local police claims that 70% of the protesters came on buses from out of state as part of the George Soros' funded-Black Lives Matter movement, EJ speaks about the agitators' activities and even provocation of violence. Watching this begs the question, "is a state of emergency the ultimate plan of the #BLM movement?"
