(Frisco) Feb. 29, 2012 – Frisco City Council member Bob Allen, seeking reelection of Place 1 in the May 12, 2012 Frisco City Council voting, announces Ed Szczebak as campaign treasurer.
Szczebak, a Virginia native, who has lived in Texas for more than 25 years, resides in Frisco Lakes, is active in the community through service at Holy Cross Catholic Church, The Conservative Coalition and is a graduate of City Hall 101, a Frisco program designed to give citizens and insider's view of various city department operations.
Szczebak, a systems engineer employed by Tellabs, a design and manufacturing telephone equipment company, has over 37 years of service. His work has taken him world-wide, including places such as New Zealand, Italy, China, and Poland. Szczebak's engineering background and community involvement as Communications Chair for The Conservative Coalition combines his love of numbers and politics, making a perfect marriage of qualities for a campaign treasurer.
"It is an honor to help Bob Allen's campaign, as he strives to continue serving Frisco residents as City Council Member, Place 1," said Szczebak. "I am committed to meeting the challenges and look forward to helping him remain in office to keep Frisco moving forward. Frisco isn't the fastest growing city in the United States for nothing; it is leaders like Bob who have made this a great place for families to come to."
Allen has played a fundamental roll in developing Frisco as the fastest growing city in America. During the past 12 years of his involvement with the city, Frisco has built necessary facilities to govern a growing city; providing new roads and infrastructure, building a new police headquarters, four new fire stations, an emergency operations center, a new senior center, a fitness center, a City Hall and a library.
"Making Frisco a destination city is an existing plan that I will continue to develop as a member of the Frisco City Council. We have already made strides by providing entertainment additions like the baseball stadium, the Stars Entertainment Center, and FC Dallas, a world-class soccer venue and will continue to attract businesses to our area, as well as people who want to call Frisco home." – Bob Allen
"Szczebak's support as campaign treasurer will help me focus on Frisco's future," said Allen. "It is important that people understand the commitment that was required in the past, to get us where we are today. I was committed when I first served on council, am committed now, and am committed to the future growth of Frisco to provide our residents with job growth, housing and planned development."

Crisis Care
When an alcoholic woman cannot stop drinking on her own, we
provide a two-week, in-house social detox that helps her establish
a foundation of recovery in a safe, supportive environment.
In taking precautionary measures related to COVID-19, The Magdalen House is making real-time changes to our operating procedures, however, we are still accepting intakes to our Social Detox Program. Please call 214.324.9261 for a phone screening.
Social Detox Program
The purpose of the Social Detox Program is to physically separate an alcoholic woman from alcohol to provide her with support and education so that she may learn about her disease and begin working the 12-Steps to achieve sobriety and sustain recovery.
Social Detox Program Details
- 100% free – no insurance, no co-pays, no out of pocket costs
- 7 days a week phone screenings and admissions are accepted

About the Social Detox Program
Since our founding in 1987, the Social Detox Program has been a successful, cornerstone program that has helped change the lives of thousands of women and their families in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex and beyond. This program physically removes a woman from alcohol, while providing her with an intensive orientation to the spiritual solution of recovery embodied in The Twelve Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous.
Simply put, "social detox" is a recovery program where a community of peer volunteers deliver curriculum and support, rather than a traditional "clinical model" of treatment. Our peer-implemented programming is provided by women from the local recovery community who volunteer their time providing daily, solution-focused meetings, working one-on-one through the 12-Steps with clients, and sharing how they recovered from alcoholism. While clients attend multiple meetings and classes throughout the day, each client has the opportunity – and is encouraged – to begin working the 12-Steps.
By cultivating a community of recovered women eager to help the next woman struggling, this program provides a newly sober woman with tools to learn about alcoholism and begin working 12-Step spiritual principles to achieve sobriety.

Severe levels of air pollution in North India is an annual affair now. This year as well, northern parts of the nation have dealt with dangerous levels of air pollution. However, the problem is not restricted to North India. Vehicular pollution and pollution caused by emissions from industries is the same everywhere.
These dangerous levels of pollution are putting the health and lives of people at stake.
We need urgent measures and policy interventions to mitigate air pollution. Some of the common measures that people can take to reduce the levels of pollution as well as to safeguard themselves against the risks are as under:
Thermocol is a form of polystyrene used for packaging. It is thrown away after use as waste plastic.
Effect on Human Health
Thermocol is polystyrene [CH(C6H5CH2)]n by structure. Petrol and toluene can yield good quality adhesive as compared to that obtained from other solvents. It is simple to prepare an adhesive from these products and requires only a beaker, glass rod and balance.
It is difficult to deal with plastic waste as it is light weight and occupies more volume. Therefore, this technique seems efficient. It has been noted that petrol and toluene can form good quality adhesive and the conversion of waste thermocol to an adhesive is an economical, eco-friendly and efficient technique.
Types of Masks/Respirators
How to Make Gas Masks?
Wet cloth held over the nose and mouth will provide protection from smoke particulates by absorbing water-soluble gases (hydrogen cyanide, hydrogen chloride, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide). For wetting, use water, soft drink, any nonalcoholic beverages, urine (During World War I, Canadian soldiers being attacked with chlorine gas (water soluble mustard gas) were told to urinate into their handkerchiefs and to breathe through). The wet cloth will also take care of >10-micron dust particles.
Particulate Filters
Particulate filters are of three types: Disposable (N95); Reusable respirators (facepiece is cleaned and reused but the filter cartridges are discarded and replaced); and Powered air-purifying respirators (PAPRs) where a battery-powered blower moves the airflow through the filters.
Disposable particulate filters can again be of three types: N, P and R (N - no oil in atmosphere, R means oil-resistant and P means oil-proof).
Based on efficiency, particulate respirator can be 95, 99 or 100 (100: The filter is expected to trap 99.97 particles of at least 0.3 microns in diameter out of every 100; 99: Trap 99 particles of at least 0.3 microns in diameter out of every 100; and 95: Trap 95 particles of at least 0.3 microns in diameter out of every 100).
Remember: As the letter rating and number rating increase, breathing fatigue will increase. Typically, an end user will find an N95 respirator cooler, and easier to breathe through than N99 mask.
How to choose a particulate matter mask?
Mask material can be synthetic, polypropylene or fiberglass (provide laminar flow). Each has a defined GSM. Higher the GSM, smaller will be the pore size and higher will be the efficiency. More the efficiency, more difficult it will be to breathe.
How masks work?
For 0.3 µm most penetrating particle size, diffusion and interception predominate.
Shape of a Filter
Particulate filters are designed to keep the velocity of air flow through the filter as low as possible. This is achieved by manipulating the slope and shape of the filter (V shape) to provide larger surface area. A high efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter can remove as much as 99.97% of all airborne particulates with aerodynamic diameter of 0.3 µm or greater. Some high-quality air purifiers have as much as 60 sq. ft of filter material folded inside their HEPA filter.
Types of HEPA Filters
According to the Institute of Environmental Science and Technology (IEST), about performance, there are 6 types – A, B, C, D, E and F (A and B - 99.97% at 0.3 micron; C - 99.99% at 0.3-micron, D - 99.999% at 0.3 micron; E - 99.97% at 0.3 micron and F - 99.999% at 0.1-0.2 micron. B and E are with two flow leak tests).
HEPA vs. HEPA-like or HEPA-type filters
They are not same as HEPA filters as they capture >2-micron particles. Most are available as Pleat fold, V or W to increase the surface area. One inch should have 7-folds (HEPA will have 74 folds in 2 feet). HEPA therefore requires a powerful blower to give pressure.
Understanding Air Purifiers
Air purifiers contain a HEPA filter and a fan device.
Fan device
Clean Air Delivery Rate (CADR): CADR rating indicates how quickly the air purifier can clean the air within a particular size room. An air purifier with CADR rating of 300 cfm will clean a room of 300 sq. ft much faster than an air purifier with CADR rating of only 200 cfm.
Ionizer makes CADR ratings false. Ionization is a process of sticking several small particles into a bigger one, but not trapping them. The bigger formed particles are dropped on the floor and wall. Without proper removal, these pollutant particles reach the air once again.
CADR rating is taken in cfm i.e., cubic feet per minute, or in m³/hour. CADR measurement is usually for pollen, smoke and dust. These three pollutants are not only small in size but also the most unwanted particles in the air.
CADR ratings only show the cleaning capacity, not the cleaning capability.
Air exchange per hour: Normally one needs 2-5 air changes per hour (clean the air every 12-30 minutes in a room). If you have severe allergies, asthma or COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), 5 air changes per hour are needed. For medical clinics, 10 exchanges per hour are needed.
CADR is based on the highest fan speed. When you run the air purifier on a lower fan speed, the room coverage will also decrease.
Three air changes per hour would require a system that produces 150 cfm or 9,000 cubic feet per hour. A medical clinic needs a minimum of 10 air changes per hour with a filtration system that produces 30,000 cubic feet per hour or 500 cfm.
Area of the room = length ´ width ´ height (5 feet long, 20 feet wide, 10 feet height = 1000 cubic feet).
Types of Filters
Carbon filters
Sodium alginate-silica fume in place of activated carbon Bitumen
Felt – It is a textile material produced by matting, condensing and pressing fibers together. Felt can be made of natural fibers such as wool or animal fur, or from synthetic fibers such as petroleum-based acrylic or acrylonitrile or wood pulp-based rayon. 10 GSM 3 mm cloth is required for 5-micron particulate matter.
Sofa foam sheet – It can potentially absorb pollution
Pre-filter: Electrostatic polypropylene air filter media: Synthetic air filter material can remove airborne particulates through a combination of air flow and a static triboelectric charge. This is similar to how iron filings stick to a magnet.
Activated carbon air filter media: It effectively removes and prevents odor/fume build-up in recirculated air through a method of adsorption.
Polyurethane foam air filter media: This is a resilient and flexible air filter material that can be reused. Polyester impingement air filter media: This is a synthetic air filter material of high strength and durability; a high volume of contaminants can be trapped within the fiber.
Coconut fiber can be used as an alternative filter media for the removal of pollutants as well as fungus as there are large number of micro-pores with standard surface area in coconut fibers.
Coconut-shell based activated carbons are predominantly microporous and are the least dusty, and are very efficient when it comes to organic chemical adsorption. Compared to other types of activated carbon, coconut-shell based activated carbon filters have the highest hardness, which makes them ideal for water purification.

During the fall 2015 semester, LTS hosted three 5x10 sessions for first year students as part of the 5x10 program series sponsored by the Student Affairs Office of the First Year Experience. Each fall, incoming students attend five learning/experiential sessions in ten weeks to engage with the Lehigh community and its resources. LTS staff offered three sessions including "What's So Special About Special Collections?", : From hands-off to hands-on, digitizing history", and "How to Win a Research Prize".
"What's So Special About Special Collections?"
On Friday, August 21st, over one hundred students visited the Bayer Galleria over the course of three hours to explore a selection of Special Collections material drawn from Lehigh history, literature, science and technology, and travel and exploration. Highlights included a first edition of Jane Eyre, cuneiform tablets, a pin from the Brooklyn Bridge, and an eighteenth-century map of Pennsylvania. The 5x10 Campus Resource Track, entitled "Creative Curiosity", was designed to introduce students to some of Lehigh's undiscovered resources. As one student observed, "I enjoyed the discussion of how cataloging our lives via digital technology may not hold up as well as printed books."
Transcribe-a-thon: From hands-off to hands-on, digitizing history
CLIR Fellow Annie Johnson and Special Collections staff Lois Black and Ilhan Citak held a Transcribathon at Linderman Library, where students got up close and personal with letters written by famous historical figures like Ralph Waldo Emerson, Walt Whitman, Alexander Hamilton, John Quincy Adams, and more. Students worked in groups to transcribe letters from the Library's Special Collections and discussed the differences between a digital copy and the real thing. View a video highlight of this popular Transcribathon, produced by University Communications and Public Affairs at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kjyxb5u6ZjE
How to Win a Research Prize
In a reprisal of a similar session held last year, Education Librarian Jasmine Woodson and Engineering professor Rick Weisman co-hosted a panel discussion featuring five Lehigh students who have been recognized for undergraduate research. Each student summarized their undergraduate research experience and recognition they received, and in the process first year students learned about Lehigh grant, scholarship, internship, and award opportunities available at Lehigh. Themes running through their experiences included these observations:
- They emphasized the importance of the communication component in the research process. It was not enough to produce research, it's also important to effectively and clearly communicate the results of research, whether through oral presentations or visual posters.
- They found they had to be creative in exploring resources, whether through use of the libraries and librarian specialists, contacting scholarly societies and disciplinary experts, or engaging with faculty and graduate students on their work.
- They suggested starting early in identifying the type of research you are interested in, the opportunities for research and funding at Lehigh, and the faculty you hope to work with. Reach out to faculty who are doing work you're interested in.
- They all agreed -- don't be intimidated by the grant/scholarship application process! While the forms are intimidating the number of applicants is often small.
Each student brought a unique perspective to the talk...
Hannah Maret '16, Materials Science and Engineering (photo left, at research symposium), received the Claire Booth Luce Scholarship and competitor in the Engineering Undergraduate Research symposium, did research on ALD alumina thin film crystallization with Dr. Strandwitz. She emphasized the benefits of research as getting more familiar with instrumentation and equipment, notably the scanning electron microscopes, and the ability to work closely with graduate students. Hannah has presented her research in poster sessions on campus and at the Materials Research Society conference in Boston. She plans to attend graduate school in part as a result of her undergraduate research experience.
Tyler Sloan '15, Integrated Business and Engineering and Brandyn W. Bok '15, Mechanical Engineering spoke of their experience as Martindale Associates, traveling to Portugal for ten days as part of an immersive experience culminating in a research project. Through the Martindale program they had the opportunity to meet and interact with experts in the U.S. State Department and policymakers in Portugal as they studied immigration policy (Bok) and economic regulations impacting the Portugese banks (Sloan). As part of the Martindale experience both students presented their findings to colleagues and in a final presentation to alums and supporters at the Harmony Club in NYC.
Madeleine Smith BA '15 Cognitive Science and Science and Environmental Writing and now an MS student in Health Systems Engineering Masters program, prepared two senior theses for her double major. She secured a Strohl Grant to run her research projects -- one on big data in the media and computerized health records, the other on patient reaction to using computers at different levels of the diagnostic process. She presented her findings at a poster session the BioIT World Conference in Boston in 2014. She also won the Library Research Prize for a research paper on Gene Therapy. Madeleine advised first year students to use smaller course projects and papers to build knowledge on topics that might be relevant to a capstone project or senior thesis.
Robert Dunleavy '16 Chemical Engineering/Chemistry worked with several professors to study the intersection of inorganic chemistry and biology -- specifically the use of bacteria and enzymes to make useful particles for solar panels batteries. He presented his findings at an Undergraduate Research Symposium, and he observed that the experience will help him as he pursues a doctoral degree in chemical engineering.
Selected Lehigh Resources for undergraduate research include:
- Martindale Student Associate Program
- Libraries Student Research Prize
- Strohl Grant
- CAS Undergraduate Research Grants
- Clare Booth Luce Research Scholarship
- David and Lorraine Freed Undergraduate Research Symposium
- Lehigh Engineering Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship

10 Memorable Moments That Ever Happened On Live TV
Anything on Live TV can happen, just like in one's life. Events that air on Live TV can range from award shows to news coverage to interviews to sporting events, to name a few. So many things have happened on Live TV in the past such as memorable/ funny interviews, controversial comments and/or things, etc. that have resonated with people over the years.
Now, with that being said, here are 10 of The Most Memorable Moments That Ever Happened on Live TV:
1. 9/11: The Collapse of The Second Twin Tower:
The date September 11th, 2001 is the worst day in American History as around 3,000 lives were lost that day after four airplanes were hijacked by members of the terrorist group Al-Qaeda. Images of one of the planes crashing into the second tower (The South Tower) of The World Trade Center were broadcast on Live TV by almost every major media network for people across the country to see.
2. The Wild OJ Simpson Car Chase:
The date of June 17th, 1994, is one that anyone old enough at the time will remember what they did that very day. Several major sporting events on Live TV happened that day, including Game 5 of the 1994 NBA Finals between the Rockets and the Knicks; the opening game of the 1994 FIFA World Cup between USA (who hosted the tournament for the first time) and Switzerland; and Arnold Palmer playing his final round at the 1994 U.S. Open, to name a few.
However, all of these sporting events were overshadowed that day by O.J. Simpson's run (See the video below) from the police. The NFL Hall of Famer was asked to surrender to authorities in connection to the murder of his ex-wife Nicole Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman (the murders happened five days prior). Instead of following the orders by law enforcement, Simpson decided to evade authorities by leading them on a slow yet wild-car chase across the Los Angeles Freeway.
With his friend Al Cowlings driving his (O.J.'s) infamous white Ford Bronco, Simpson sat in the passenger seat with a gun held to his head as the two lead the LAPD on the freeway for over two hours before surrendering at the driveway of the Hall of Famer's home. Several major television networks decided to interrupt their scheduled programs for that day and broadcast the car chase on LIVE TV! The pursuit was watched on Live TV by an estimated 95 million people and was the highest-rated program on television of the year of 1994.
3. The Wrong Movie Is Named Best Picture at the 2017 Oscars Ceremony:
The 89th Academy Awards Ceremony honored the best films of 2016 was held and broadcasted on Live TV by ABC on February 26th, 2017. Since 2017 marked 50 years since the release of the 1967 classic Bonnie & Clyde, Oscar-Winning Actors Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty (who played the lead characters in that film) were given the honor of co-presenting Best Picture, the final award given out at the end of The Oscars each year.
The ending of the 2017 Oscars Ceremony will go down in history as one of the most memorable moments to ever happen on Live TV and in the history of The Academy! After some confusion from Beatty (who didn't know yet that he and his Bonnie & Clyde co-star had been given the wrong envelope), he showed the card to Dunaway, who announced that La La Land (the favorite to win Best Picture for films released in 2016) had won (see the first video below).
However, a few minutes later as La La Land Producers were in the middle of their acceptance speeches, Oscar crew members and Host Jimmy Kimmel came out on to the stage explained that there was a mistake and that La La Land hadn't won Best Picture! The film Moonlight was the real winner of The Academy's top prize instead! La La Land was forced to hand over their Best Picture Oscars to the producers of Moonlight.
The exchange left the audience and viewers in complete shock as Jordan Horowitz, one of the La La Land producers, actually showed the placard announcing Moonlight's Best Picture win to the cameras for the audience and viewers at home to see! The Best Picture Error at the 2017 Oscars instantly became one of the most notable moments to occur on Live TV. The incident also sent the Internet and social media into more of a frenzy compared to when Steve Harvey announced the wrong winner at Miss Universe 2015.
Due to the error, Dunaway and Beatty were invited back to present Best Picture at The Oscars the following year (see the second video below) and this time, after being given the correct envelope, they didn't announce the wrong winner on the Live TV broadcast. When The Shape of Water was announced as the winner, one of the film's producers Guillermo Del Toro (who also won Best Director for the film) jokingly checked the envelope to make sure that The Shape of Water was the actual winner (see the second video below).
4. Steve Harvey Announces The Wrong Winner at Miss Universe 2015:
Before the wrong film was announced as the winner of Best Picture in 2017 (see #3 above), the most famous similar incident occurred at Miss Universe 2015, which was held on December 20th, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Steve Harvey was the host of the pageant.
After Olivia Jordan (Miss USA), was named the 2nd runner-up, the new Miss Universe was going to be either Ariadna Gutiérrez (Miss Columbia) or Pia Wurzbach (Miss Philippines). Harvey declared that Gutiérrez was the winner and she was crowned by Miss Universe 2014 Paulina Vega, who represented Columbia at the pageant the previous year. This marked the second time that a country won the pageant two years in a row (Venezuela won back-to-back years in 2008 and 2009).
Just as Gutiérrez was about to take her first walk as Miss Universe, Harvey returned onto the stage to "apologize". In one of the most shocking and memorable Live TV Moments ever (See the video below), the host announced that Gutiérrez was actually the FIRST RUNNER-UP and that Wurtzbach was the ACTUAL WINNER! Vega had to take the crown off of her compatriot's head and place it on Wurtzbach.
Harvey later stated that while reading the results card, he confused the winner's name because all of the Top 3 Girls' names were on the card and he only noticed the "1st" by Gutiérrez's name. This Live TV moment sent social media into a frenzy and sparked tons of memes.
5. Kayne West Interrupts Taylor Swift at the 2009 VMAs:
Just like other major award ceremonies, The MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) are broadcast on Live TV for viewers at home to watch. The VMAs have produced some of the most iconic moments in the history of Live TV from Miley Cyrus twerking on Robin Thicke to Brittany Spears's performance to her single "I'm a Slave 4 U" with a large albino snake on her shoulders to Lady Gaga's meat dress, to name few.
However, the most memorable moment ever (and for moments that happened on Live TV) in the award ceremony's history happened during the 2009 VMAs. After winning Best Female Video for her single "You Belong with Me", Taylor Swift (who had won her first of eventually 10 VMAs) was in the middle of making her acceptance speech when all of the sudden, rapper Kayne West went onto the stage and interrupted her.
In the video below, the rapper took the mic and famously said, "Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you, I'mma let you finish, but Beyoncé (who was also nominated in that category for her music video for her song "Single Ladies", but lost to Swift) had one of the best videos of all time! One of the best videos of all time!" The cameras then cut back and forth between a stunned Beyoncé (and audience) and West and Swift, the latter of whom was speechless. West then left the stage to the sound of jeers.
This moment on Live TV stunned viewers at home as well. In addition, West was condemned by various celebrities and public figures for his actions towards Swift. Even then-President Barack Obama called West (in an off-the-record part of an interview) a "Jack***". Although West has apologized, he and Swift have remained frenemies in the ten years since this Live TV moment happened.
6. Tom Cruise's Coach Jumping:
One of the most memorable moments on Live TV was the time when Tom Cruise lost his mind and jumped on the couch during an appearance on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2005. What caused the actor to lose his mind? The answer: Katie Holmes, his girlfriend of one month at the time of his interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Initially, the actor's appearance on Oprah's daytime talk show was going to be about him promoting his new film War of Worlds. However, when Winfrey brought up Holmes (who was backstage where no one, even the cameras, could see her), Cruise's excitement about talking about his new girlfriend caused him to jump on Oprah's couch TWO TIMES! This caused the audience to go nuts and left Oprah stunned. She even got Tom to bring Katie out onto the stage.
7. Christine Chubbuck Suicide:
Just like the South Twin Tower collapsing (See #1 Above) and JFK's Assassination (See #6 above), the Live TV Moment listed here is considered memorable as it involves a tragedy. Christine Chubbuck was a television news reporter for WTOG and WXLT-TV in Florida. On a morning broadcast that aired on July 15th, 1974, her actions shocked not only her co-workers but viewers as well.
After starting the broadcast by reporting three national stories and when she was reporting the fourth story (which was a local shooting), the film reel for that piece was jammed. As a result, the footage couldn't be shown and when the cameras came back to Chubbuck, she then stated, "In keeping with Channel 40's policy of bringing you the latest in 'blood and guts' and in living color, you are going to see another first—(an) attempted suicide."
That's right. Christine Chubbuck became the first person to commit suicide on a live television broadcast as she pulled out a gun and shot herself behind the ear. After she fell down violently, the program's technical director faded the broadcast rapidly to black and Chubbuck was rushed to a nearby hospital where she was pronounced dead 14 hours later. It was later revealed that Chubbuck had struggled with depression. Footage of her suicide on Live TV has not been seen since its initial air date and Chubbuck's brother Greg said in a 2016 interview that he received a legal injunction to ensure that the footage will never be released.
8. Zinedine Zidane Headbutts Marco Materazzi during the 2006 World Cup Final:
The FIFA World Cup is soccer's most prestigious tournament and one of the most-watched sporting events on Live TV. Regardless of which two countries make The World Cup Final, that game is the biggest one. The 2006 FIFA World Cup Final was played between Italy and France. While Italy would go on to win the match in penalty kicks and their fourth World Cup title overall, the nation's victory wasn't the main thing everyone was talking about post-match.
The 2006 World Cup Final went into overtime after regular time concluded in a 1-1 draw. French Midfielder Zinedine Zidane scored a penalty in 7th minute for France and Italian Defender Marco Materazzi made the score 1-1 after scoring a header in the 19th minute. In one of the most memorable moments in the history of the World Cup, Zidane head-butted Materazzi in the chest (who fell on the ground) in the 110th minute of the game. The latter reportedly made an offensive comment about the former's sister. As a result, Zidane, who was also playing in his final match as a professional, was sent-off by the referee and France lost to Italy in penalties shortly afterward.
9. The Moon Landing:
The date of June 20th, 1969 marks a very important day in world history as it is the day which The Moon Landing occurred. The 50th anniversary of the event took past this past July.
The space flight was conducted on The USA's Apollo 11 and three astronauts, Commander Neil Armstrong, Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin, and Command Module Pilot Michael Collins completed the first manned mission to land on the moon. Armstrong became the first man to ever walk on the moon and was followed shortly by Aldrin. As reported by CNN, Armstrong's first steps were broadcast on Live TV and watched by an estimated 600 million people around the world. Major Broadcast Networks including ABC, NBC, and spent a combined $12 million to cover the historic Moon Landing on Live TV.
10. Antoine Griezmann Interrupts Paul Pogba's Interview Post-World Cup Final in 2018:
The second event from The FIFA World Cup to make this list happened right after the 2018 FIFA World Cup Final where France beat Croatia 4-2. France's win marked the second time that the country had won the World Cup (The first time France won the tournament was in 1998).
French Midfielder Paul Pogba, who scored the game-winning goal, was in the middle of a Live TV Post-Match interview with FOX Sports when one of his teammates forward Antoine Griezmann (who scored France's second goal and was named Man of the Match) suddenly appeared on camera. Griezmann took the microphone from the reporter just to say "I love Derrick Rose" (see the video below). He then winked at the camera before walking out of the shot.
No disrespect to the former MVP of the NBA, but of all the things one can say after winning the World Cup, what Griezmann said has to be one of the most random (but most funny) things ever. However, given that Antoine Griezmann is an avid NBA fan and that his idol is Derrick Rose (see the photo below), it probably makes sense. Whenever Rose wins his first NBA Finals, hopefully, the first thing he says in his first Live TV post-game interview is "I love Antoine Griezmann".

Yesterday I wrote about section 14 of the public order act, and how it allowed the police to effectively order protesters to move or to leave. Today section 14 was used in Lewes and it was all caught on camera by @taboacid
The protesters that were arrested were drinking tea outside of Boots in Lewes. They were not preventing anyone from entering as far as I know, simply refusing to move away when ordered to. (Since writing this I have been told that people collecting prescriptions were all let through, others were discouraged but not stopped.) How the police issued their section 14 notice is not clear. The police officer in the video clearly used the line "You will be arrested in breach of conditions imposed under section 14 of the public order act. These officers will now arrest you." Police action so far is legal, but as far as I am concerned it should not be in their power to order anyone to move in this situation.
Later in the video is a more incriminating moment. A protester is "de-arrested" by the police but only after having her details taken. Quoting the video:
"She's been de-arrested. She's provided her details and she's been de-arrested. She'll be out of the van in a couple of moments once my colleagues have got everything they need."
De-arrest means that no central record is ever made of the arrest, only that in the notebook of the officer concerned. Requests for statistics on de-arrests have been rejected because of this. De-arrest is necessary in some situations but the context in which it is usually used now is to force people to give their name and address to the arresting officer, clearly in breach of the intent of the law. There is no legal obligation to give identifying information to the police unless arrested, so the police have established a routine of threatening to arrest people unless they give information, and if that does not work then they arrest the person, take their details, then de-arrest them. This means that the police now know the identity of the person, but have no record of the arrest. Not only that, but the information that they have unethically seized is not stored as an official police record and so is not subject to the same controls. For an example of the sort of thing that the police do with the information, see this Guardian story about spotter cards used by the police at protests, and this comment by Mark Thomas on the same.
In a previous situation similar to this, the police denied that there was even any database involved. I think it is clear that they are abusing the definition of database in order to avoid regulation of their data tracking. Extract from their reply to a complaint:
"The information obtained under section 50 is subsequently recorded electronically and weeded after seven years. The fact that your details have been recorded in such a way does not constitute any form of formal police record, and would not be disclosed externally.
This video footage and your personal details are not cross-referenced, and the database which you allude to does not exist."
The police may be working within the law, but it is clear to me that that in the case of coercing protesters to give identity information and "de-arresting" they are abusing the intent of the law to keep records on people guilty of nothing except exercising their essential democratic right to protest, and in creating section 14 of the public order act MPs have given dangerous powers to the police that threaten our democracy.

The Bratislava castle is a very dominant landmark in Bratislava. You can see it from so many spots. But it also is hard to come up with a new view, I haven't used before. But this time I found one. I went to the Port bridge, and took a photo with my longest lens. I was hoping for a nice reflection of the bridge in the Danube, but as it was a quite windy day, I had no luck with that. But that only means that I will have to revisit the spot :)

Because of the measles epidemic that continues to grow, Public health institutions have begun to take measures and make a call to curb the misinformation generated by the anti-vaccine movement, which has been listed as one of the 10 threats to global health in 2019. Some large social networks and the Internet have joined the requests to help stop and combat it, removing false information from their platforms and without scientific evidence.
Now, Facebook and Instagram take another step against the anti-vaccine movement by announcing that redirect vaccine searches to official pages of public health institutions such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
A few months ago Facebook, announced through a statement that joined the fight against the anti-vaccine movement, beginning to eliminate and reduce visibility of content that disseminates false information about vaccines.In Babies and more Facebook joins to fight the anti-vaccine movement: it will punish those who disseminate false information about vaccines
Now, two of the world's most popular social networks have launched a new functionality on their websites and applications, to continue fighting disinformation about vaccines: show a window or warning that redirects users to official sites (from the CDC for those in the United States and from WHO for the rest of the world).
This will appear every time someone uses the search box within the social network to consult or search for information related to vaccines. The purpose is to educate Facebook users with reliable and up-to-date information, and thus curb the spread of false data about vaccines and the anti-vaccine movement.
I have done the test on both social networks from their mobile and desktop versions. In the case of Instagram, I did see the popup window with the following message after searching #vaccines Y #vaccines:
Unlike Instagram, where the option to choose between going to the website or seeing the publications appears, on Facebook I did the test writing words like vaccine, anti vaccine, anti vax, vaccines, vaccines with and without hashtag, and although the window has not appeared to me, the search results have only thrown me publications of official and verified pages from WHO, the CDC and other public health institutions.
This news comes only a few days after Pinterest announced that its results will only show scientific evidence when users search for vaccines, an initiative that has received praise from the main public health agencies, including WHO.
With this new option, Facebook and Instagram also come together to continue working hand in hand with these institutions, and help control and stop the anti-vaccine movement, as requested by the American Academy of Pediatrics to them and other social networks.

One of my favorite luxuries is a getting a pedicure. Of course, I've enjoyed only a few in my lifetime. The frugal chick in me usually just tries to do the best I can DIY-style. My daughter and I like to spend girl time painting our toes the same color – so I was excited when Meijer asked if I'd like to try out some new shades from Essie.
My little one is big on knowing the name of the "paint polish" shade of her choosing. She was happy to pick out Essie's "lady like" from the lineup – a gentle pink. With 6 colors to choose from, she didn't want to stop there. "Carry on" won her second choice – a more adult deep plum color.
Of course, all of Essie's shades have sophisticated names in the fall collection, which "pays homage to the glorious world of gorgeous handbags" and the "simple elegance of post-war styles":
- carry on (magnetic mulberry merlot)
- very structured (creamy burnt sienna)
- case study (rich camel beige)
- glamour purse (almond blush)
- lady like (pretty, demure pink)
- power clutch (enigmatic darkest green)
I don't usually use salon-quality polish (mostly because of the cost), so I was impressed by the way it was easy to apply. No streaking, no need for a second coat. Though it seemed thin on the brush, it covered completely. We were both thrilled by how easy it was to use!
Would you like to try out some of Essie's new collection? You'll find the latest colors at Meijer – and don't forget to load a $1.00/1 Meijer mPerks digital coupon to your account to save! (Coupon expires Sept.25).

Pocophone F2 unlikely to come out soon but Alvin Tse's Twitter exchange may provide some clues where it stands
It appears that the Pocophone F2 will not be coming out this year judging by Xiaomi's silence about the matter. Even Head of Pocophone Global Alvin Tse previously said that the reason why they're remaining mum about the sequel is that they refuse to comment about speculations surrounding the device.
This is despite the fact that the Pocophone F1 is turning one-year-old this month. The mid-range market was heavily expecting the Pocophone F2 to arrive in August or in September, but hopes are fading fast.
So does this mean that the series will be discontinued? Not quite. While Tse's statement can be disheartening for those who's been waiting for the Pocophone F2, his Tweet exchange with one user has partially renewed the anticipation for the handset.
Speculations surrounding Pocophone F2
The conversation started when Twitter user Digvijay Jadhav bid farewell to his F1 after purchasing the OnePlus 7, Piunikaweb reported. Tse expressed his gratitude at Jadhav's loyalty and may have hinted the fate of the Pocophone F2.
"Thank you for being part of the POCOF1 journey. Hope to welcome you back to XIAOMI soon," Tse responded. Could this mean that Tse means to lure the user back with the Pocophone F2? Is this a clue that the device is indeed in development?
Pocophone F2 and the future of the series
Unfortunately, all we can do is speculate at this point. There are a lot of uncertainties surrounding the Pocophone F2, which was heightened further when Poco head of product Jai Mani silently left Xiaomi. Details about the separation remain muddy as of this writing as Xiaomi is also maintaining their silence about the issue.
As for the fate of the entire franchise, it appears that the Poco team will be continuing their work to support the F1. Xiaomi India Head of Marketing Anuj Sharma said that the series is still working on building the brand to entice more people. Regarding the Pocophone F2 sharing the same identity as the Redmi K20 and K20 Pro, that rumor has already been debunked. The Redmi K20 draw a lot of criticism from the mid-range market after its price was announced, so much so that Manu Kumar Jain – MD of Xiaomi India – released an open letter explaining why they chose to bump the cost.
