Any style-conscience male would be foolish to put on final year's fashions when a entire new appear is taking more than. Freshen up your wardrobe with the newest styles and keep in touch with the modern day male. Effectively it all sounds pretty plausible but guys are unique to ladies and marketing and advertising by-lines plus convincing life style imagery has to operate substantially tougher to extract the male pound from the wallet. You see, guys have changed, they dress differently and additional independently to their parents and grandparents. You only have to appear back at the black and white pictures from 50 years ago to see that male style was pretty formalised, each at operate and throughout leisure time.
Practically each and every man, regardless of class and functioning function, dressed smartly. Of course city bankers and lawyers would put on substantially finer tailoring and hats compared to the blue-collar workers in the industrial centres, but most guys would put on a collar and tie, a jacket of some kind and a hat. Just appear at the photographs of the enormous crowds that flocked to football matches and stood out on the terraces in all weathers, wearing specifically the similar garments they would put on to operate on Monday.
Males looked wise than they do now, but they also looked pretty equivalent to every single other. There was pretty tiny scope to appear unique and, due to economic constraints, pretty tiny chance to preserve an expansive wardrobe. Issues had to final in these days, so hardy fabrics have been chosen and garments have been kept going with cautious repairs and additions like leather patches on elbows and cuffs. Clothing are not constructed the similar way right now in our disposable society, if your socks create a hole in the toe they are additional most likely to uncover themselves in the bin rather than in the hands of a skilled darner for repair. Clothing are less expensive and additional throw-away, but the difficult-wearing method of these vintage products, signifies that quite a few nonetheless survive right now, some in remarkably very good situation. Hats, as talked about above, have been also pretty typical.
Flat caps, bowlers, Trilbys and derivatives on these types have been owned by ever man and boy all through the nation. They had to function as heat retainers, rain coves as properly as contributing to the formal styling of the male appear and once again, such was their building, that quite a few retro clothes shops will give a wide choice to opt for from. Formal male dressing could be about to make a return in a new kind but you never need to have to obtain new to sample it. There are pockets of previous decades exactly where the vintage men's fashions of the time survive, nonetheless appear very good and additional importantly, give an cost-effective route away from the casual norm. From the plain grey and brown styles of the fifties and sixties to the additional colourful and slightly uncommon types of the seventies, there is a thing for each and every man.

Rugged Rhodes targets Mexican upset
Matt Ogborn @mattogborn
Second chances at securing a worldwide legacy do not come around too often in a professional sportsperson's career, let alone after a wait of just over 13 years.
When Ryan Rhodes got the rough end of a decision against slick Quebecer Otis Grant for the WBO middleweight title on 13th December 1997, the braggadocio of youth and a place in the slipstream of Prince Naseem suggested it would not be too long before he climbed through the ropes for another shot at a legitimate world title.
Bearing in mind the proliferation of respected belts – four at the last count with the IBF, WBA, WBC and WBO straps – and dizzying carousel of champions, the odds on Rhodes getting that shot were short but it wasn't to be until now.
The fact that the 34-year-old is still trading punches at the highest level, let alone challenging rising Mexican superstar Saul Alvarez on Saturday June 18th for the WBC light-middleweight title, is testament to the Sheffield steel girding his body.
Neutrals will point out that the southpaw could not have chosen a tougher opponent to prove his doubters wrong; however you will not find Rhodes quaking in his boots ahead of the Guadalajara showdown.
This despite running the rule over the trouncing ginger-haired tyro Alvarez handed out to Matthew Hatton last time out when Ricky's younger brother looked to emerge out of the sibling shadow cast by the former world champion.
With his training reaching a crescendo of focused fury, Rhodes revealed: "I have trained my socks off. I've been beating all my scores on my circuit training and weights from previous fights. I am going to be in tip-top condition."
It is no secret in pugilism circles that many boxers struggle to make weight or stretch themselves too far to bulk up in an effort to escape a weight class packed full of rivals or ride an ego wave borne from lesser domination.
Rhodes acknowledges that the middleweight division where he looked to build on his early light-middle exploits on undercards for the flash Prince was not the ideal platform to showcase his undoubted talents.
"Alvarez has never fought anybody who is big, strong and can punch like me in this division," he said. "I am the biggest opponent he has ever faced, after the welterweights or even light welterweights blown up to fight him. It will be a massive shock for him.
"I watched his last fight with great interest. Matthew did really well, even though he is a welterweight moved up to light middle and wasn't a big puncher at welterweight himself.
"He did well, his movement was really good. Alvarez couldn't pin him down and stop him, even though he were trying his hardest."
Having worked his way back up from the canvas doldrums with an admirable mix of patience and hard graft, Rhodes understands that this could be his last shot at holding his head and a coveted alphabet belt high.
"I've got the experience this time," he said. "When I was 21 years old fighting Grant he was the wiser one and he had the boxing brain. This is completely like that fight, but the roles have switched."
Ten straight victories accrued in just less than five years since Gary Lockett seemingly brought his career to a standstill in a WBU middleweight challenge highlights the mental fortitude Rhodes possesses with the clock seemingly ticking down on his physical faculties.
Gutsy victories over Jamie Moore, a 2009 Fight of the Year contender, Luca Messi and Rocky Junior means he goes into the ring confident that age isn't anything but a number.
Emboldened by the recent ring prowess of ageless Bernard Hopkins against another hungry younger warrior in Jean Pascal, Rhodes believes he can take Oscar De La Hoya's very own Golden Boy Alvarez down a peg or two.
"He seems to be a very cocksure fighter," Rhodes said. "He tries to take you out with every punch. He is a fit kid and obviously fighting in his own town and arena, I think he will be even more confident.
"Oscar De La Hoya is tipping him to be the next superstar in world boxing. He is 20 years old and I am getting him at the right time."
What can a 46-year-old ex-con teach a Brendan Ingle-trained graduate about his next moment in the spotlight then?
"Hopkins is an inspiration overall, inside and outside the ring," Rhodes said. "It just shows to everybody there is light at the end of the tunnel.
"He is up there in the top three or five pound-for-pound fighters in the world and to be somewhere like that at 46 years old is amazing."
Other fighters Rhodes uses for inspiration go to show that his mature grit and showbiz style gleaned from his youth could finally have given him a ring mixture potent enough to secure his legacy.
"When I was growing up I used to watch Marvin Hagler, Sugar Ray Leonard and Mike Tyson in his early days," he said.
"Coming through in my gym I used to look up to Herol Graham and Johnny Nelson. I wanted to fight in big shows like they were doing. Growing up, being best of mates and travelling around the world with Naz I learnt a lot too.
"But obviously the last six years with Dave Caldwell and Mark Willey, my conditioner, it just brought everything back from those early days plus I've got the experience now."
Anti-boxing campaigners always bring up the dangers of fighting past your prime, quite rightly on occasion, another topic Rhodes is well aware of every time he makes the long walk from the changing room to the ring especially with the Guadalajara altitude advantage the much younger Alvarez is likely to possess on Saturday.
"I watched Roy Jones the other night and I was absolutely gutted for the kid," he said. "I heard it were a decent fight and he was holding his own, but when I saw the knockout I was so gutted because growing up he was an absolute hero of mine.
"His style was fantastic and what he used to do in the ring was absolutely unbelievable. Get out quick before something sad happens."
When quizzed on how hard boxers find it to quit the adrenaline of the fight game, he added: "Roy Jones is ruining what he achieved, because people seem to forget the earlier part and remember the last couple of years of your career.
"I think he is putting a bit of a dampener on his success. People around him need to step up and, instead of patting him on the back and saying he is a superstar, they need to tell him the truth and get him out of there."
Rhodes is bullish on the prospects of the other Brits currently holding, contending or aiming for a world title to call their own, something which he thinks should get more exposure in the national press.
"We have got Amir Khan, David Haye, Carl Froch, Ricky Burns and Nathan Cleverly, then you've got those on the borderline like Kevin Mitchell, John Murray and Kell Brook who is definitely going to be world champion," he said.
"James DeGale and George Groves, they are going to be future world champions too so there are a few coming through. I am on the fringe of being world champion and it is a fantastic era for British boxing on the world stage."
If pre-fight talk could win you fights, then the Sheffield native would stand a good chance of following in the footsteps of John H. Stracey and Lloyd Honeyghan in coming back across the Atlantic with a world title.
"I have had a watch of some of the old fights on YouTube and fighters fighting away from home. It's a massive inspiration and proves it can be done," he claimed.
"It's not an impossible task, so I am taking them fights with me obviously knowing I can fight abroad, I can win abroad and bring the title back to England.
"The WBC is the main belt out of them all. It is the most recognised to Joe Public, so to win that and get that green belt round my waist on June 18th is going to be a complete dream come true."

XLR8R Adds Miami to Their Guide
XLR8R's City Guide now has Miami.
Check out this behind the scenes peek into Robyn's new music video for 'Dancing On My Own' that will be released tomorrow. Also have a listen to the track and remixes by Fred Falke, Rex the Dog, Jakwob and more.
The band TEENAGERSINTOKYO have been lingering around for a while now. They have released an EP and a few singles over the past couple years, but we have been awaiting a full length for some time. The wait is nearing an end with their debut full length album Sacrifice that is due out May 24th. This video for their single 'End It Tonight' was just released and it has refreshed my memory of how much I like these guys.
"1977″ is a collector book by Bob Rifo & Mathieu Cesar, with Mathieu's photographs. Out on May 11th on www.borntofilm.com and www.deathcrew77.com

Wow, this trailer looks amazing. I honestly feel that there aren't enough quality movies done on Electro and representing the culture in a good light. Can't wait to see this.
Here is a pretty well designed info-graphic (from Information Is Beautiful) about the amount of online sales a solo musician must sell in order to make a US monthly minimum wage of $1,160. It's a bit sobering to see how little they payout is for some of these services we are buying from. I mean, $0.0017 per stream on Spotify?! It almost makes me want to start purchasing directly from the artists themselves instead of iTunes. It also makes you realize that most of the musicians and artists you listen to are probably doing it more for the love of what they do rather than the money.
XLR8R has written a wrap-up on Coachella this year. Their take on the festival is a bit jaded and cynical as they tend to be sometimes, but their view on what they call "Dubstep Crusties" is pretty hilarious.
"As dubstep has become the de facto rave music of the West Coast, crusty hippies have ditched Phish in favor of Bassnectar and the DJs at the Do Lab, a tropically themed tent that stood amidst Coachella's five main stages. The dubstep featured was of the wobbly, beef-tenderizing variety rather than Kode9 or Burial, which was totally fine with the nu-ravers covered in burlap-sack clothing and glow-thingies. For some reason, the distinct scent of beached salmon clung to the area by Sunday."
If you can't tell by now, besides a few exceptions, I am not much of a Dubstep fan.

Le Castle Vania has just released his first ever publicly available mixtape. The mix, titled Bulletproof Tiger Mixtape, is just under an hour and a half of new and old electro tracks from Le Castle Vania himself as well as other big names in the game. Names such as Boys Noize, Toxic Avenger, Wolfgang Gartner, Fake Blood and Designer Drugs all make the track list. The mix also features Le Castle Vania's own new single 'The Light' that is yet to be released. The mix is available for free over at his website.
XLR8R's City Guide now has Miami.
Remember slap bracelets? Like those, but cooler.
Great puzzle game with graphics by Eboy himself.
XLR8R added ATL to thier city guide. Check it out.
Twin Shadow has been making some waves throughout the internets lately. I recently purchased his new album Forget, and I must say I quite like it. I am also really liking this remix he has done for Hooray For Earth, who I had never heard of before this song, but will surely be checking them out after hearing it.
The last I heard of Muscles he had quit the music business because of problems with his label Modular. This disappointed me because I love his music. However, I was happy to see that if the rumors were true at the time he has apparently changed his mind. A new EP by Muscles titled Younger & Immature is due out October 29.
Here's a remix of the first single from the EP 'Girl Crazy Go'. Check out the music video for the original version here. From the sounds of it Muscles hasn't lost his musical touch, or his ego.
Music by Bassnectar isn't something I would normally post here. For the most part I feel his stuff is for dirty rave hippies, and if you read this blog at all you probably know how I feel about the wobbly bass-heavy Dubstep. That being said this remix done of Sleigh Bells' song 'Run the Heart' is still bass-heavy, but not completely overboard. It also manages to keep a lot of what makes the original track so good.
Chances are if you spend any amount of time on the internet you have heard 'Hello' by Martin Solveig featuring the lovely Dragonette (considering it went number one on Hype Machine). But I couldn't resist posting this super-fun dance-pop masterpiece. It's basically impossible not to want to dance to this song. I don't know a lot about Martin Solveig, but from what I have heard and seen so far I am liking his stuff. Purchase the EP with several remixes on Beatport now.
Millionyoung, aka Mike Diaz, is shaping up to be one of my favorite artist of 2010. I really love this cover he has done of Neon Indian's 'Local Joke'. He adds his own personality to the song, so much that it sounds as though he could have written it. I am looking forward to a full-length album from him.

The radicalized socialist Democratic party is counting on a number of candidates for signature wins in Tuesday's midterm elections and in some cases, the race is all about race.
For example, in Georgia the party is promoting an extremist demagogue named Stacey Abrahams who once burned a state flag on the steps of the capitol building in Atlanta, has talked about sandblasting the Confederate figures off the face of the Stone Mountain monument and is keen on the communist practice of stealing from white folks to pay reparations.
In a race that is far closer than it should be, Abrams and current Georgia Secretary Of State Brian Kemp are in a dogfight with Abrams having the benefit of fawning national media coverage and the same boatloads of out of state loot that has underwritten the campaigns of Andrew Gillum in Florida and Beto O'Rourke in Texas.
She also has the backing of black identity extremists because she herself happens to be one.
Like the Black Panther party which is campaigning for Abrams and packing heat.
Armed With Assault Rifles, Black Panthers March For Stacey Abrams https://t.co/9RA6tbuGOa pic.twitter.com/vDhJ6LRoav

Via The Daily Caller, "Armed With Assault Rifles, Black Panthers March For Stacey Abrams":
Members of the Black Panther Party marched through the city of Atlanta, strapped with assault rifles and brandishing Stacey Abrams campaign signs.
In a video posted on the group's Facebook page on Saturday, members of the Black Panther Party are seen marching through the West End neighborhood of Atlanta in support of Stacey Abrams gubernatorial campaign. As they marched, the Black Panthers carried assault rifles and continually shouted slogans such as "black power" and "power to the people."
Panther – West End – Atlanta, Georgia – Armed Rally Against Voter SuppressionAnd relax, before you make any…
Posted by The New Black Panther Party – Atlanta Chapter – Hashim Nzinga on Saturday, November 3, 2018
It's just more of the same mob behavior that has been encouraged by Democrats and one shudders to think what they'll do if she loses.

How event branding can generate ROI
In order to engage your target market you should showcase your uniqueness as a brand at conferences and events where there is an extensive pool of both current and potential customers. When you want to leverage your next event for higher ROI, its branding and communication strategy has a big impact on the result.
Keynote speakers or the use of new technologies play a decisive role in event marketing, building a cohesive event brand experience will certainly make potential attendees not only sign up but empathise and engage with the brand.
So how can we use event branding to generate ROI?
Memory at a general level works selectively. For this reason, we keep certain memories deep inside our mind and we remember them perfectly, while others we forget easily.
For instance, every time that Apple launches a new product – even when the differences with the previous one are not extremely significant- the brand concept they create is surrounded by an aura that makes you feel you are part of an historic moment.
When you enter an event and look around, what is the first thing you see? Which are the predominant visuals? What is the impression you have from the organizer, without having taken a step?
Branding an event is more than just a logo and a slogan printed on a banner. It combines all aspects of the event with a basic rule: attention to details.
Because if you don't pay attention to details, your audience will.
Our experience and knowledge say that there are different factors to success when branding an event. Read more about Prezentology's project for Converge (an Arrow company) FOM event in Amsterdam and Washington that resulted in positive reviews from delegates and boosted marketing ROI.
Future of Obsolescence Management (FOM) is an international event focused exclusively on obsolescence management with data security as theme during the 2018 Conference.
During creative workshops and discussions with the company, we created the visual identity around the main theme, data security using the characters from the binary language of O and I. We designed a randomized cluster around the event information with some of the elements interconnected and aggregated.
To generate ROI you should engage your customers both during the event and online. Do not forget to follow up with the participants after the event. Branding needs to be adaptable and easily-shareable by attendees with the aim of building a solid name. For FOM event we designed the speakers´ slide decks that were presented during the event and shared afterwards. This generated engagement and was a great reminder for people to attend next year´s edition.

WASHINGTON — The University of Colorado men's cross country team has been invited to the White House after winning the 2013 NCAA Championship last November.
The Buffs will meet with the President of the United States on Monday, March 10, in the traditional White House ceremony sometime in the afternoon. It will be streamed live at www.whitehouse.gov/live. They will become just the third CU team to have the honor and privilege of meeting the president.
The CU men won their fourth NCAA Cross Country Championship since 2001 last year. The Buffs, who were ranked third heading into the meet, soundly defeated runner-up and then-No. 1 Northern Arizona (149-169). Oklahoma State, ranked second overall, was an overwhelming favorite heading into the race, and placed third with 230 points.
CU is sending eight athletes who participated in the national championship to meet President Obama. Co-captains Blake Theroux and Connor Winter will be joined by Ammar Moussa, Pierce Murphy, Morgan Pearson, Zach Perrin, Ben Saarel and Dillon Shije.
The team will be accompanied by senior associate athletic director Jim Senter, associate head coach Heather Burroughs and assistant coach Billy Nelson. They will be honored along with other national championship teams at a yet-to-be-determined time on Monday, once President Obama's schedule for the day is finalized.

Oh and when is the new armor coming (not pushing)
Welcome :)
Not sure about the suits addon, but it should be close enough.
Dark mod please..... Thanks for the update Gr8 work :)
Okay man, it'll be up in no time :D and you're welcome !
So do we need to uninstall the previous version or will 1.7 just overwrite it?
Nop, just install this over.
I don´t need to reinstall misery 2.1.1...Right?
Just add the TAZ 1.7 ?...Sorry for the question, i´m a noob XD
Yup, just install this and you're good to go :D
HeheheHell yeah! :P
:D have fun ! just......easy on the poor NPCs xD
I wish I were to play MISERY, but CoP wont even load up a new game .-.
So I guess I will just go back to playing some Shoc and Clear Sky...
Why's that ? have you tried re-installing everything ? there is always a solution with the x-ray, what's going on ?
Uhg... I just got done downloading 1.6. Oh well, at least more guns!
Just restart dude, you'll like the new stuff :3
Ohhh finally!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for your work!!
No problem dude ! Enjoy :D
I just Downloaded and started out with Recon. I love the feel of the starting SMG, but it uses the same ammo as the starting sidearm :( Its a big thing to ask, but since the weapon description for the starting SMG said it was a "special" version, is there any way to make a patch/hotfix for a different ammo type for those who want it? (the reason I ask is I like to take out the mercs early, and I run out of ammo too quickly as opposed to before 1.7)
The Camo VZ61 is indeed a special SMG, you don't find camouflaged VZ61 anywhere but in your hands :p
I'm not sure what kind of ammunition you're looking for, Also, 1.7 has nothing to do with ammo use or NPC strength.
My problem is the two recon starting weapons use the same ammunition, thus setting the classes partially out of balance. I don't dislike the VZ or your choice for it as a starting weapon, I'm just requesting there be an optional addon that switches the VZ's ammo type to something else. (Also I didn't mean to imply there was an increase in NPC strength, just that It gets tough to take out mercs with no ammo :)
The VZ61 was originally in the startup gear since Misery 2 got released, I switched it to the Shortened Vikhr in 1.6, but when I retextured the VZ I restored it, if you want to add it back I can show you how :)
Go to Gamedata/scripts and open "axr_misery.script", look for "wpn_scorpion_camo", replace it with "wpn_vihr" and replace the first two ammunitions lines with these "ammo_9x39_pab9", "ammo_9x39_ap", the more ammo you replace the more boxes you'll get at the start, you can add more lines in there and add more stuff, just respect the ordering :)
Oh, the VZ is originally a 9x18 SGM, so switching to any none 9x18 ammo will be strange :P but doable, yo unat it to use 5.45 ? xD jk.
Just checking, but are you saying the extra ammo in the stash on the other side of the waste station isn't enough?
He just didn't like the way his pistol and SMG swallows the ammo, that's all.
Awesome. Love the added diversity.
Cool :)
Long time no commenting dude :p
OK now I'm confused having nothing but CTD's since upping to 1.7
1.5 & 6 no real probs .....vanilla will run for a little while dependant on the character type then bang...
& this is after a total wipe & clean install ....suggestions pls
Crash log is what I need right now :p besides, I'm working on a quick fix for the protecta thing.
OK will save it next time,
meantime I wiped & reinstalled back up to 1.6
And I uploaded a quickfix for 1.7 :p
Happy new year :)
where can I find the 1.7 quickfix please?
well tried the lighting changes just caused crashes on startup :(
& cannot pm the error log as the admin system tells me not to use characters of more than 100 words :(
i had the same problem with 1.6 after a total wipe.
I had to go through all the options put render type to enhanced full dyn. lighting (dx 10 or 11). After i put it back down to the plain full dyn. lighting everything was OK again.
Did you play around with the settings for a bit?
Good Work mp5lng!
Thanks, while you're here grab this Moddb.com a quick fix is posted there :)
Happy new year 5ling! thank you for yet another stellar update!
A little tweak for the AKS-74 Tactical the sights drop down and disappear when firing whilst looking down sights and the reload animations are a bit clunky not sure if its just on my end or a bug.
Thumbs up for the AUG optics and the reload animations are spot on! not sure if you tweaked them but very nice! BTW my Christmas wish from santa was an AA-12 for this mod. ;)
Cheers mate happy holidays!
Happy new year and thank you :]
What do you mean by dropping down ? you mean the recoil ? the Tac AK is a little different at shooting, I might rework it to use different animations later.
Yeah when firing looking down the sights the weapon drops down out of sight yet the bullet groupings are very tight, recoil is expected but maybe loosing the sight picture entirely is a bit much.
Strange, what's your monitor ratio ? is it 4:3 ?
how do i install the mod? do i just "tweak" the files thaat are in the mod folder?
You just extract the mod to your game after you install Misery 2.1.1, than you need to install the quickfix from here Moddb.com
how do I extract it exactly?
You open the archive with 7zip and drag and drop the gamedata from my mod to your game's folder, and overwrite everything, than ingame you reselect your class.
I get error messages saying access denied
never mind
....okay :p
OK have the error msg's from xray fails
where to send 'em?
You can send them to me via PM.
too large a file ....main prob seems to be prefetch, I'm running a 2gb gtx650
beginning to look like it'll have to wait till I build a new pc
or you could just pick up another gun when you kill your first guy 5 minutes into the game? stop complaining about stupid **** like that.
You woot m8 ?

Lyn Twyman and The National Domestic Violence Registry on Fox News
This morning, I had the opportunity to be interviewed by Heather Childers of Fox News Live on the cost of domestic violence and about one of my organizations, the National Domestic Violence Registry (NDVR). The mission of NDVR is to be an on-line, national resource that will aid in the awareness and prevention of domestic and family violence by posting the convictions of domestic abuse perpetrators and those offenders who have long term criminal orders of protections placed against them, and to provide comprehensive education about technology based programs, prevention, safety, and intervention models relating to domestic violence.
With the team of partners and endorsements that we have from folks like Russel Blake, Ashley Judd and New York State Women, Inc., we are seeing the public's growing acknowledgement that something more must be done to prevent and intervene in this epidemic we call domestic violence.

A Look At Wrongful Convictions: Courage Empowerment Forum Welcomes Johnnie Lee Savory
It was early 1977 when the life of a 14 year old was turned completely upside down. There was a double murder and investigators dragged the 14 year old Johnnie Lee Savory into an absolute nightmare. There were witnesses and evidence proving that Johnnie was not the murderer of his friend and friend's sister but it was not enough to stop his 50 – 100 year original prison sentence. Johnnie would end up spending 30 years of his life behind bars for a crime he did not commit. Furthermore, the State of Illinois has denied multiple requests for DNA testing of evidence that would exonerate Johnnie.
According to The Innocence Project, there have been 273 post-conviction DNA exonerations in the United States. According to the same organization, DNA tests prove that nine Chicago teenagers were convicted in the 1990s of murders they did not commit. Five of them are still behind bars but prosecutors are refusing to acknowledge their innocence.
Johnnie's plight is the plight of thousands more across our country, lives held captive behind bars because of a criminal justice system that fails to be just. Out of his experience, Johnnie has taken his pain and dedicated his life to helping those who are wrongfully convicted.

The Danger of Those with a History of Violence: Courage Empowerment Forum Welcomes Executive Director of the National Domestic Violence Registry Myra Spearman
Myra Spearman was in her early 20's when she first got married. Like countless women and men around the country, what began as a fairy tale marriage turned into years of a nightmare filled with real abuse, terror and victimization. The relief Myra felt after breaking free from a relationship of abuse was a turning point as she embarked on a mission to save the lives of domestic violence victims and offer them hope. Her activism eventually led to the launching of the first ever National Domestic Violence Registry (NDVR). Now, Myra and a team of people across the country have created a movement to comprehensively tackle the domestic violence epidemic around the United States and work with legislatures and activists to draw the connection to those with a history of violence in their past through the efforts of NDVR.
In 2009, Myra also won the Gerald I. Lamkin Innovation & Entrepreneurship Center's Award from the Society of Innovators of Northwest Indiana for her creation of NDVR and holds a lifetime membership with the Society of Innovators.

A Look at the African American Family: Courage Empowerment Forum Welcomes Christelyn Karazin, Founder of No Wedding No Womb!
On September 22, 2010 an online campaign, that included approximately 100 bloggers from all walks of life, was officially launched by Christelyn Karazin to address the issue that spurred waves of heated discussion. This conversation reached local and main stream media outlets including the Los Angeles Sentinel, Power 98, NPR, Essence, The Associated Press, The Washington Post, and MSNBC in 90 days. The Twitter hashtag #NWNW was tweeted over 100,000 times because of it. What was the conversation about? It was about the out-of-wedlock birth rate that is at an approximate 73% high in the African American community.
Why is this issue so important, especially to Christelyn and the thousands that have joined the movement? In Christelyn's case, her first child was born out-of-wedlock so she understands the struggles that single parents face who have children unplanned and when the other parent isn't active in the child's life.

Taking dance lessons to prepare for our wedding was one of our best decisions. We have Sean to thank for this as it was fully his idea. We signed up for 11 lessons. During all those sessions our instructor gave us tools to dance to any song, not just the one we had picked for our first dance. We've used these skills on our honeymoon, at weddings, holiday parties, and sometimes just in our living room. We look forward to dancing and it's so fun to know what we're doing together. That's why we excitedly accepted when a friend of mine invited Sean and me to the Sinatra Soiree with she and her husband.
This is the Soiree's 21st year, but Sean and I had neither heard nor been to the event before. It's held in the National Building Museum. This was my frist time to this museum and it is awesome inside!
Turns out we weren't quite the demographic they were aiming for…and by that I mean we were a bit old. Women's tickets were $20 less than the men's, which is very telling about the point of the event. For the music they switched between a live swing band and 90's music. (This seemed odd to me at the time and as I'm writing this I understand now why they played 90's music…if you're a 22 year old that's the music of your elementary school years. 80's music, the music I'm used to at events like this, is not so relevant to you. Oh.) We were still able to get out on the dance floor a few times. When we did we were able to dance in our shoes! This is a big deal for us since we learned to dance in socks and even on our wedding day had to remove our shoes for our first dance because it was completely no good otherwise.
This was our first double date with my friend, Danielle, and her husband, Josh. We really enjoyed our time with them and will definitely get together again. Already in the works is a golf outing for the men, high tea for Danielle and me, and a game night for the four of us! I'm excited just thinking about it!

Kaa delivers an essential toolkit for the Industrial Internet of Things
Future of industrial IoT (IIoT)
The Industrial IoT represents a variety of IoT applications, smart product design principles, and data-driven automation practices in the industrial sector of economy. It widely utilizes modern sensor technology to enhance different types of equipment with remote monitoring and maintenance capabilities.
On a larger scale, the Industrial IoT is a key element of Industry 4.0, or smart factory, trend of automation, which brings together modern cloud computing, IIoT, and AI to create intelligent, self-optimizing industrial equipment and facilities.
Here are the benefits of IIoT applications:
The Industrial Internet of Things is a strategic priority for manufacturing companies as it allows them to give more value to their customers as well as improve cost-efficiency of their internal operations. Smart features become a major selling point for modern industrial equipment, not the least because simplifying field service and reducing TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) for the customer. Enabled with IoT, separate parts of a production line communicate with each other in near real time and makes the entire manufacturing process much easier to monitor and control.
Finally, IoT promotes more flexible, open architectures that support greater customization and digital upgrades across tens of thousands of devices.
So what can reduce time and costs for IIoT project?
Kaa is an enterprise IoT platform that serves as a cloud application manager for such connected production facilities and smart products. Being hardware- and transport-agnostic, Kaa is easily integrated with a broad variety of sensors, controllers, machines, and device gateways, giving you all the benefits of cloud-based access and control over your assets.
Kaa allows you to track telematics and sensor data, provision new devices and manage their lifecycle, execute remote commands and run OTA updates, create smart rules for autonomous device behavior, and many more.
On the connectivity and data processing levels, Kaa offers an out-of-the-box support of modern protocols, such as MQTT, and can be used together with popular data management systems and databases for seamless integration with your existing backend.
Its open interfaces allow you to minimize integration and DevOps chores and rapidly assemble end-to-end IoT applications for industrial systems automation, predictive maintenance, and remote monitoring. Kaa also provides a flexible web dashboard tool for setting up data visualization widgets, which simplify production monitoring routines for your operators and managers.
Industrial automation makes a new evolutionary breakthrough with the
help of IoT. Are you there yet?
The Industrial IoT can shield industrial systems from downtime by detecting the earliest signs of malfunction and preventing their aggravation.
Installing IoT sensors into industrial systems allows operators to know what's going on with the equipment in near real-time, and with high accuracy. Connected through Kaa, these sensors provide you with an in-detail reporting over the equipment status, performance, security, and so on.
Conducting regular equipment health check-ups gets easier too, since a big chunk of work can be done remotely and with greater accuracy.
When we can predict problems we can prevent systems going down. With the IoT, every single machine can be transparent to your eye.
- Performance and device health data monitoring
- Predictive maintenance
- Remote troubleshooting
- Smart alerts and notifications
- Perimeter security and access controls
The field operations are the ones to experience most dramatic quality impact from embracing IoT. The telemetry data collected from equipment is a rich source of actionable information from technicians. Based on the analysis of this telemetry data the field ops may make an informed decision whether a piece of equipment requires any service. That is a major improvement over the old modus operandi with massive overservice and excessive truck rolls.
Even for the cases when the service is actually required, the efficiency is largely improved by more precise and expedite failure root cause analysis powered by sensor data and the electronic service history record. That results in a better customer service, satisfaction, and loyalty.
However, with IoT you no longer even have to wait for failure to occur. In many cases proper analysis of data feeds coming from the equipment can lead to indications of possible future malfunction, and proper preemptive maintenance actions can remedy the incident even before it happens.
- Remote monitoring and troubleshooting
- Predictive maintenance
- Continuous product improvement through identification of weak spots and typical usage scenarios
- Data-driven warranty extension and claim validation
- OTA updates, A / B testing of different device software
According to the World Economic Forum's Industrial Internet Survey, optimizing asset utilization ranked the top reason to adopt IIoT technology, with 79% of respondents citing "extremely important" or "very important" for near-term adoption.
By enabling cloud capabilities for your equipment with Kaa, you can monitor and control your workflows in a remote manner as well as set up automation rules to optimize your assets utilization. You can also take advantage of comprehensive performance analytics to introduce timely adjustments to your production routines and use historical data to optimize planning.
Additional cost savings can come from better energy practices, managing the energy usage for peak, off-peak, and zero service periods.
- Programmable automation for different kinds of industrial equipment
- Factory-wide performance analytics
- Device management via digital twins
- Smart lighting and smart metering
Smart factory is the ultimate goal of Industrial IoT transformation in the domain of manufacturing but achieving it will require strategic adoption of several other keystone technology trends. One of them is an intelligent edge. It is a decentralized networking within the Industrial IoT ecosystem, in which edge devices perform their part of data processing workloads before transmitting results to the cloud. Such network topology allows for more sophisticated IoT workflows within limited network resources, ensures that your devices can operate without interruption if getting offline, and reduces latency for critical operations.
Another essential technology bundle for smart factory is AI and machine learning. The most popular modern AI applications include voice and image recognition, robotic process automation, quality control, and autonomous robots. As they gain more traction, AI algorithms will let industrial systems continuously improve their operations and find new ways for cost-efficient autonomy. AI is also expected to lift off the burden programming and configuring f millions of devices in the field from our shoulders, in this way accelerating further growth of Industrial IoT and smart factory innovations.
- Applications for intelligent edge
- Machine learning and AI applications
- Robotic process automation
- Smart factory system integration

ECF Nos. 12, 15. Both Stanford and Nuance are DISMISSED WITH
PREJUDICE for lack of personal jurisdiction, subject to
discovery showing that Stanford or Nuance committed acts
which would establish either general or specific personal
jurisdiction consistent with the Court's discussion of
personal jurisdiction in this Order. If the Court had
personal jurisdiction over them, it would be inclined to
dismiss the RICO, fraud, and conspiracy claims against
Stanford and Nuance, as it does not appear Plaintiff has a
factual basis for plausibly stating such claims against them
at this time.

which the Court and the parties are all familiar. The Court

of its prior Order from April 10, 2018 addressing the motions

Chris Fry, and Microsoft, ECF No. 134, ("Salesforce

alleges that Defendants Stanford University
("Stanford") and Nuance Communications, Inc.
("Nuance") were both "named as participants
in the theft, conspiracy, conversion, chain of
misappropriation, and fraud by Sullivan." Third Am.
Compl. ¶¶ 12, 62, 191, ECF No. 1-5
("TAC"). The apparent basis of these allegations
is Exhibit L to the Third Amended Complaint, a print-out of a
ZoomInfo.com company profile for Thrownet, as of an unknown

notes that in quoting this exhibit in another allegation,
Plaintiff does not mention Stanford or Nuance. See

international virtual reality conference in 1998 where
Plaintiff won first prize for "Best Innovation."

Court held a hearing on Stanford and Nuance's Motions on
April 23, 2018.
Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(6) authorizes the Court to
dismiss a complaint that fails "to state a claim upon
which relief can be granted." Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(b)(6).
Rule 12(b)(6) is read in conjunction with Rule 8(a), which
requires only "a short and plain statement of the claim
showing that the pleader is entitled to relief."
Fed.R.Civ.P. 8(a)(2). The Court may dismiss a complaint
either because it lacks a cognizable legal theory or because
it lacks sufficient factual allegations to support a
cognizable legal theory. Balistreri v. Pacifica Police
Dep't, 901 F.2d 696, 699 (9th Cir. 1988).
resolving a Rule 12(b)(6) motion, the Court must construe the
complaint in the light most favorable to the plaintiff and
accept all well-pleaded factual allegations as true.
Sateriale v. R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., 697 F.3d
777, 783 (9th Cir. 2012). The complaint "must contain
sufficient factual matter, accepted as true, to 'state
a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.'"
Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009) (quoting
Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 570
(2007)). "The plausibility standard . . . asks for more
than a sheer possibility that a defendant has acted
unlawfully." Id. "Where a complaint
pleads facts that are 'merely consistent with' a
defendant's liability, it 'stops short of the line
between possibility and plausibility of entitlement to
relief.'" Id. (quoting Twombly,
550 U.S. at 557).
Pro se
pleadings and briefs are to be construed liberally.
Balistreri, 901 F.2d at 699. However, "a pro
se litigant is not excused from knowing the most basic
pleading requirements." Am. Ass'n of
Naturopathic Physicians v. Hayhurst, 227 F.3d 1104, 1107
(9th Cir. 2000). Before a district court may dismiss a pro se
complaint the court must provide the pro se litigant
"with notice of the deficiencies in his complaint in
order to ensure that the litigant uses the opportunity to
amend effectively." Akhtar v. Mesa, 698 F.3d
1202, 1212 (9th Cir. 2012) (citation omitted). However, the
court may deny a pro se litigant leave to amend where
amendment would be futile. Flowers v. First Hawaiian
Bank, 295 F.3d 966, 976 (9th Cir. 2002) (citation
Stanford and Nuance raise the issue of whether Plaintiff has
established personal jurisdiction over them, as well as
whether Plaintiff has stated claims for RICO, conspiracy, and
fraud. See generally Stanford Mot.; Nuance Mot.
Nuance also contests Plaintiff's ability to bring a
patent infringement claim. Nuance Mot. at 5. The Court has
already addressed the arguments Nuance raises regarding the
recoverability of patent damages and Plaintiff's standing
for a patent claim in its prior Order and dismissed
Plaintiff's patent infringement claims with prejudice.
See Salesforce Order at 18-31. The Court declines to
repeat its discussion here and will only briefly address
Nuance's suggestion that because Plaintiff has no
standing for a patent infringement claim, he also "has
no standing to assert claims sounding in fraud, conspiracy,
conversion, and/or chain of misappropriation resulting from
the alleged patent infringement." Nuance Mot. at 5.
to the extent that these claims belong to Ergo, rather than
Plaintiff, Ergo currently lacks capacity to bring suit.
See Salesforce Order at 31. In addition, the Court
has not determined whether Plaintiff would have standing for
a patent infringement claim, but even if it had, such a
conclusion would not necessarily be dispositive of standing
for the other claims. Standing is analyzed on a claim by
claim basis. See California ex rel. Imperial Cty. Air
Pollution Control Dist. v. U.S. Dep't of the
Interior, 767 F.3d 781, 789 (9th Cir. 2014) (citing
Lewis v. Casey, 518 U.S. 343, 358 n.6 (1996)). If
Plaintiff's theory of standing and injury for patent
infringement and the other claims was similar, the same
determination might result. However, even if Plaintiff has to
substantively show patent infringement occurred in order to
prove his other claims, his standing for fraud, conversion,
misappropriation or conspiracy claims is not necessarily
controlled by or dependent on having standing for patent
infringement, especially if his claimed injury is different.
Nuance's unsupported and unexplained assertion that
Plaintiff lacks standing for any claim "resulting from
an alleged patent infringement, " Nuance Mot. at 5,
does not provide a sufficient basis for the Court to conclude
that this is the case. Thus, to the extent that Nuance is
seeking to dismiss these other claims for lack of standing,
the Court DENIES Nuance's Motion.
Court will next turn to the issue of personal jurisdiction
before briefly addressing Nuance and Salesforce's
arguments about particular claims.
Personal Jurisdiction[2]
a defendant moves to dismiss a complaint for lack of personal
jurisdiction, the plaintiff bears the burden of demonstrating
that jurisdiction is appropriate." Schwarzenegger
v. Fred Martin Motor Co., 374 F.3d 797, 800 (9th Cir.
2004)). "Where, as here, the motion is based on written
materials rather than an evidentiary hearing, the plaintiff
need only make a prima facie showing of jurisdictional
facts." Id. (internal citation and quotation
courts apply state law to determine the bounds of their
jurisdiction over a party." Williams v. Yamaha
Motor Co., 851 F.3d 1015, 1020 (9th Cir. 2017) (citing
Fed.R.Civ.P. 4(k)(1)(A)).[3] Hawaii's long-arm statute
allows service on a defendant to the full extent permissible
by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the
U.S. Constitution. Kowalski v. Anova Food, LLC, Civ.
No. 11-00795 HG-RLP, 2012 WL 3308884, at *3 (D. Haw. Aug. 10,
2012) (citing Haw. Rev. Stat. ("HRS") §
634-35 and Cisneros v. Trans Union, LLC, 293
F.Supp.2d 1156, 1164 (D. Haw. 2003)). As such, this Court
need only decide whether federal constitutional due process
permits the exercise of personal jurisdiction over
Defendants.[4] See Schwarzenegger, 374 F.3d
at 800-01. "A court's exercise of personal
jurisdiction over a nonresident defendant may be either
general or specific." Doe v. Am. Nat'l Red
Cross, 112 F.3d 1048, 1050 (9th Cir. 1997). "Each
defendant's contacts with the forum State must be
assessed individually." Calder v. Jones, 465
Consent to Personal Jurisdiction
In his
Opposition to Nuance's Motion, Plaintiff makes several
arguments which he suggests show that Nuance, as well as the
other corporate and institutional defendants, have consented
to personal jurisdiction in Hawaii. See generally
Opp. to Nuance at 8-14.
first states that aside from Microsoft who entered a special
appearance, the other non-resident defendants waived their
right to object to personal jurisdiction by entering general
appearances. Id. at 9. However, the distinction
between special and general appearances has been eliminated;
Rule 12 makes no reference to either and instead makes clear
that no defense is waived by joining it with any other
defense. See 5B Wright & Miller, Fed. Prac.
& Proc. Civ. § 1344 (3d ed.); see also Romero v.
Star Markets, Ltd., 82 Haw. 405, 415, 922 P.2d 1018,
1028 (Haw. Ct. App. 1996) (holding that the distinction
between special and general appearances has also been
eliminated in the Hawaii rules such that a party need not
make a special appearance to assert lack of personal
jurisdiction). Rather, only a party who fails to dispute
personal jurisdiction in making a general appearance or
responsive pleading will waive such defense. See Benny v.
Pipes, 799 F.2d 489, 492 (9th Cir. 1986),
amended, 807 F.2d 1514 (9th Cir. 1987) ("A
general appearance or responsive pleading by a defendant that
fails to dispute personal jurisdiction will waive any defect
in service or personal jurisdiction." (citing
Fed.R.Civ.P. 12(h)(1))). Because both Stanford and Nuance
have asserted the lack of personal jurisdiction in their
motions to dismiss, Stanford Mot. at 7-14; Nuance Mot. at 4,
they have not waived the defense of personal jurisdiction
despite making general appearances.
next seems to suggest that by registering to do business in
Hawaii, the corporate defendants may have consented to
jurisdiction through the designation of an agent for service
of process and/or through a possible written consent to
jurisdiction. See Opp. to Nuance at 13. The Ninth
Circuit has suggested that "[i]t is an open question
whether...a state may require a corporation to consent to
general jurisdiction as a condition of registering to do
business in the state." See AM Trust v. UBS
AG, 681 Fed.Appx. 587, 588-89 (9th Cir. 2017). However,
Plaintiff has pointed to no Hawaii statute, nor has the Court
been able to locate one, requiring such consent as a
condition of registering to do business in Hawaii. Indeed,
Hawaii specifically provides that "[t]he appointment or
maintenance of a registered agent in the State does not by
itself create the basis for personal jurisdiction over the

German prosecutors are targeting a Greek former defense minister in a corruption probe concerning a submarine deal, the weekly Der Spiegel reported in its edition to be published April 18.
The weekly said Akis Tsohatzopoulos, who is also the object of an inquiry in Greece, had been named in charges against two former directors of the Ferrostaal company as a recipient of bribes.
Tsohatzopoulos told Der Spiegel, "I have never asked for or received money or other advantages in connection with the sale of submarines to Greece."
The prosecutions office in Munich, which is conducting the probe, was not available for comment April 16.
According to Der Spiegel, the charge sheet alleges that other Greek officials were also implicated in the 2000 deal involving four submarines built by Ferrostaal.
The weekly said Ferrostaal was suspected of paying hundreds of millions of euros in kickbacks to win contracts with foreign governments, including for a gas pumping station in Turkmenistan.
Current Greek Defence Minister Evangelos Venizelos last month accused German companies of encouraging corruption in his country over a long period, naming the Siemens group, Ferrostaal and its former parent company MAN.
He cited "elements" provided by a German legal investigation into Ferrostaal, and a report by the Greek financial authorities which, according to press reports, calculated that $140 million in bribes had been paid.
A preliminary inquiry was launched by the Greek legal authorities but in view of the supposed involvement of former ministers, one of them identified by newspapers as Tsohatzopoulos, the case had to be sent to parliament.

Have you found that TV stands, coffee tables and wine cabinets will be very orderly located in the living room and dining room etc, both in big house and small room. Various home furniture is so attracting especially in the big house. Development comes from requirement. The reasons for the fast developing of home furniture factory can be seen as follow:
Human being's requirements for beauty are getting higher and higher with the development of people's living condition. The simple home furniture design in the past time can not attract people's sight any more, which create the developed opportunity for home furniture factory. People are increasingly pursuing new and peculiar things, which encourages the creative home furniture factory to develop better. Any products may become more or less as the time goes by, so does the home furniture. Something used for a long time will look so old and lost its glossy on surface. As a result, eliminating and updating the style and quality of old home furniture can also offer the new market for home furniture industry.
In resent years, home furniture manufacturers compete with each other more and more fiercely, so that many factories withdraw from the the market. In a word, with competition in the home furniture market, good service and quality are playing the more important role in home furniture industry.

Unrelated, but my brother was telling me something about an application form he was filling out for Stanford the other day.
Apparently one of the questions was "List five things about yourself".

I don't know if he actually wanted to get into Stanford in the first place, but he just might be a better poet than me.
