How to stay protected from scams with 442 Travel + Umapped
Many Australians opt to book their travel online because they're hoping for a greater sense of convenience and control. Unfortunately, research shows that large numbers of consumers become victims of online travel scams in the process.
Find out how travel bookers powered by 442 Travel + Umapped can help their travellers bridge the gap between having hands-on control, convenient technology and the safety that comes with booking through an expert.
Survey Suggests Online Travel Scams are Alarmingly Commonplace
This summer, antivirus software provider McAfee published a survey that revealed approximately 1 in 5 Americans have been involved in a scam while booking travel online.
– The survey of 1000 adults showed that 18% of respondents had been scammed or almost scammed.– 30% of travel scam victims reported losing between $1000 and $3000.– The top 5 summer destinations targeted by potentially malicious sites were Cabo San Lucas, Puerto Vallarta, Amsterdam, Venice, and Canmore, AB.
"The last thing that consumers should have to deal with during or after a holiday is an identity scam or personal privacy issue," said Gary Davis, McAfee's chief consumer security ambassador. "While cybersecurity threats unfortunately exist during most stages of the booking and travel experience, consumers can take proactive steps to protect themselves and minimize the risk to ensure scams and other nefarious activities don't spoil summer travel plans."

STOP PRESS: National Curriculum Consultation – 24 hours left
Once more we encourage readers to submit their responses to the National Curriculum Consultation. Our own response is somewhat lengthy – the longest response is to the first question but we would like to share what we have written.
Remember, if you don't respond to the consultation it will be seen as acceptance and therefore adherence to the new national curriculum. You don't have to complete every question and it doesn't have to be lengthy.
Click on the link below to take you to the consultation site.
This is important for our children and young people, their rights and their entitlement to a holistic, quality education.
Before we respond to the specific aims of the National Curriculum we would like to comment on Section 2 (The School Curriculum in England) of the consultation document. Our main focus in this response is about the generic purpose and aims of the curriculum, which is why we have responded in greater detail to this question than to others.
Section 2.1
- The document says "every state-funded school must offer a curriculum which is broad and balanced". We believe that this should read as "every state school" so that it's clear that it includes academies and free schools.
- The document refers to a "broad and balanced curriculum". The determination of what constitutes "broad and balanced" is vastly open to interpretation, and in this case, heavily weighted on knowledge acquisition. We would like to see a more clearly defined explanation as to what a "broad and balanced" curriculum is that is relevant for our children and young people and provides them with opportunities to develop key life skills, attitudes and values as well as gaining knowledge and understanding.
- The document refers to the a curriculum which "promotes the spiritual, moral, cultural, mental and physical development of pupils at the school and of society" – Whilst we recognise that this phrase comes from the 1988 Education Act, as Ofsted are currently passing judgment on the Spiritual, Moral, Social and Cultural development of the child, we are concerned that this key word of "social" has been omitted from this description of a broad and balanced curriculum. Furthermore, we would suggest that this aim can't be achieved without a clear and focused approach to a young persons' Personal and Social Development.
- The document states that the curriculum "prepares pupils at the school for the opportunities, responsibilities and experiences of later life." Whilst we agree that preparing children for adult life is an integral part of education, the emphasis should surely be on an education that equips each child for living as children too. We want children and young people to enjoy, experience and value life as a child as well as preparing them for the experiences of later life. This should be made explicit as part of an emphasis on creating life-long learners.
- The continued requirement for an act of "collective worship" seems anachronistic, especially when one considers the outcomes of the 2011 Census. In 2001, 72% of the population of England said they were Christian. This has now reduced to 59%. Is a "worship" of anything or anybody relevant in the 21st century to most children? We would certainly advocate a collective gathering; a time when young people could reflect, appreciate and share as well as spend time in quiet contemplation
- Within the requirement to teach Religious Education, and again referring to the 2011 Census, we believe that there should be clear reference to agnosticism, atheism and humanism.
- We will mention Sex Education in greater detail later within this document but the statement in this opening passage says that "all state schools are required to make provision for sex education to pupils in secondary education." We are extremely concerned about this. Puberty starts younger and a significant minority of girls menstruate before attending secondary school. There's also the issue of sexual abuse. If children don't understand the concept of puberty, sex and indeed abuse until 11+, how can they know when this might be happening to them?
- The comment here refers to "sex education" rather than the established terminology of "sex and relationships education". Relationships, communication, collaboration and congeniality are all an integral part of our lives. Sex education is almost meaningless if it's taken to a mere scientific knowledge of the body. The relationships aspect of our sexuality is an exceptionally important part of our lives, but even without sexuality, all manner of relationships are vital – for children and adults alike.
Section 2.2
- The document refers to "maintained" schools in reference to the legal requirement to follow the national curriculum. We believe that this should be altered to "all" schools to include academies and free schools. If the Secretary of State believes in his proposals for a National Curriculum, then it should be for all schools otherwise it becomes divisive and unequal, causing polarisation. The alternative is that there is no national curriculum, only guidance on what could or should be taught – applicable to all schools.
Section 2.3
- The document says that "All schools should make provision for personal, social, health and economic education (PSHE), drawing on good practice". We believe the "should" ought to be changed to "must". This is in line with the need for all schools to regard the spiritual, moral, social and cultural development of the child and the duty of care to "promote the wellbeing of all pupils" as outlined in the 2006 Education Act.
- We don't believe that you can have a "broad and balanced curriculum" that doesn't explore the ways that individuals respond to one another, that looks at the values of society, that encourages creativity, imagination and reflection.
- We believe that the general aims of PSHE education should be an integral part of all lessons as well as having a designated curriculum area for PSHE education.
- We would also raise concern about what constitutes "good practice". Didactic, text-book learning is not appropriate for large parts of teaching and learning in PSHE education. Active, discussion-led learning is an essential component of this area of learning and this should be explicit.
- We welcome the notion that "schools are also free to include other subjects or topics of their choice in planning and designing their own programme of education" but in relation to PSHE education are concerned that essential life skills and important knowledge might be ignored or forgotten
Aims of the National Curriculum
Section 3.1
- The document states, "The National Curriculum provides pupils with an introduction to the core knowledge that they need to be educated citizens." We are concerned about the emphasis on "knowledge" and precisely what "knowledge" ensures that a person is an educated citizen. This aim is not clear enough and doesn't explain what an "educated citizen" actually looks like. Given the scrutiny and carefully considered commentary in the days of this consultation, it's obvious that there are diverse opinions on this. So to include such an open phrase in such a document is meaningless.
- The aim continues, saying the National Curriculum "introduces pupils to the best that has been thought and said". The term "best" is also open to interpretation. Who's "best" are we talking about? In its current form the proposed curriculum refers to one person's or a group of people's "best" that is either British or western centric. There are others who might consider that other cultures and societies can also offer "the best that has been thought and said".
- We like the phrase that the National Curriculum "helps engender an appreciation of human creativity and achievement" yet the specifics outlined within the curriculum statements are somewhat limiting in assimilating this aim. We would like schools to be free to determine the content that they feel is most relevant to their children and young people.
- We are concerned that there are many issues omitted from this as a core aim for the National Curriculum. There is no reference to,
- Wellbeing
- Skills
- Values
- Attitudinal development
- Development of the whole child
Section 3.2
- We welcome the idea that the National Curriculum will not be too prescriptive and enable schools to provide teaching and learning opportunities that fall outside the limits and restrictions of an imposed curriculum.
- We reiterate once more the concern we have about the emphasis on knowledge acquisition as the most significant part of learning. It is not. It is an integral part of learning but cannot be fully assimilated without the additional development of skills and a values framework that shapes, guides and supports. The omission in acknowledging the importance of assimilation, skills, attitudes and values is significant and should be amended to reflect the true nature of learning.
- We are concerned about the "flexibility" should a school be deemed as a Category 3 or 4 school according to Ofsted. There is substantial evidence that a) schools free to offer an holistic curriculum do better b) schools in special measures or notice to improve reduce the creative and imaginative elements of the curriculum, concentrating on the cores at the detriment of the learner. The flexibility of learning should be maintained in all situations.
- There will need to be significant CPD and training for teachers both in schools and in training institutions to enable them to teach without prescription, especially when one considers the extent of that prescription over the last 25 years.

Stranger Things
The Day of Pentecost, Stephen choosing to proclaim truth instead of protecting himself, a magician wanting to buy God's power, and a terrorist becoming a member of the group he formerly terrorized are all strange things! These are also examples of some of the stranger things that our students must watch for when choosing to become a campus missionary. This 4 part series uses the first 9 chapters of Acts to show some of the stranger things that can result when a student becomes a campus missionary, and how they relate to modern-day witnessing in our schools.

Zeta-Table Lamp by Zp Studio
Zp Studio Shares The Zeta Table Lamp
Zp Studio, the lead designer of the displayed project zeta by Zp Studio explicates, Zeta is a table lamp obtained from the lasercut of a 5 mm poplar plywood sheet. It is sold in a flat packaging and can be easily self-mounted by the customer: there is no need for glue or screws because pieces can be simply stuck togheter, while the waste of material is minimum. We got the inspiration among the "do it yourself" furniture and from the plywood toys for children. .

Winter, spring, summer, fall…ice cream is a good idea any time of year. So pack your family in the car and get started!
1. Little Man Ice Cream, Denver
Start off in Colorado's capital, Denver. You can get your first ice-cream fix at Little Man. And their twenty-eight-foot-tall ice cream can (totally Instagram-worthy) is worth its own stop.
2. Josh and John's Naturally Homemade Ice Creams, Colorado Springs
Next, make your way southward to Colorado Springs. If there's an ice cream awards show, Josh and John's deserves the title of "Creamiest Ice Cream this Side of the Mississippi."
3. Hopscotch Bakery, Pueblo
Pueblo—a hot spot for locals to camp, fish, and boat—is where you'll find Hopscotch Bakery. We recommend trying out Lavender in a Waffle Cone!
4. Here's the Scoop, Salida
Continuing west, make a stop in Salida. The "Ice Cream Maker in Charge" wants you to know that his treats pose a habit-forming risk. We promise, it's worth the risk.
5. Enstrom Candies, Grand Junction
Almost at Colorado's border with Utah, Grand Junction is the center of Colorado's wine country. Don't miss out on Enstrom Candies' unique flavors!
6. KaleidoScoops, Glenwood Springs
Starting your journey back towards Denver, this shop's name is the only thing better than their ice cream. You'll feel the hometown vibe as soon as you walk in.
7. The Rusted Porch, Steamboat Springs
Head towards Steamboat Springs to check out The Rusted Porch. It's known for beer and ice cream, so enjoy rustic views as you sip on a pint and devour a root beer float.
8. Walrus Ice Cream Company, Fort Collins
Almost back to the start, take a break in Fort Collins. With daily flavor rotations, you're in for a surprise. Try out something crazy like Jack Daniels Chocolate Chip.
9. Dairy Delite, Loveland
Loveland is home to the best soft-serve with all natural ingredients. We recommend staying classic here with a chocolate-dipped banana split.
10. Sweet Cow, Boulder
Boulder is Denver's outdoorsy cousin. What stands out about Sweet Cow are their locally-sourced small batches of ice cream.
Here's a map of the full trip:

I liked the story but I feel like it ended to soon. It would have been nice to see Harry return Ginny's feelings. Thanks for sharing it with us.
| thaliagrace1425 chapter 4 . 12/6/2012
you did a really good job with the story
| Stephanie O chapter 4 . 8/5/2012
Sweet ending! I like that you included the lyrics to one of the songs listed in the lid of Harry's pensieve box - what a beautiful song! :) I also liked how Ginny's soft touches were able to make Harry's nightmare turn nicer - I think that part was especially telling. Great story!
| Stephanie O chapter 3 . 8/5/2012
Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon are about as fond of me as Ron is of spiders! Yep, that's a great comparison, and so true! :) I'm glad to see Harry finally opening up (at least a little) to Ginny!
| Stephanie O chapter 1 . 8/5/2012
OK, I'm doing this backwards...I read the 2nd one first, and the first one 2nd, just to refresh my memory. Funny thing is, this one doesn't give me the sense of deja-vu that NYNH did. It looks like Hermione & Ginny had a fabulous time shopping, and I wonder if Harry ever realized that Ginny was watching him all those times?
| MelGinnylover chapter 4 . 7/15/2012
I noticed a AU Note. You happened to mention that your Beta helped you be the best.I am Sorry but I donot feel so. You are limiting yourself if you think in that manner. You are really very very very good with your writing however you can always get better. He or She may have corrected you and guided you a little thats commendable I agree and deserve to be were a few other things I wanted to talk about which are equally silly and pointless. Your take on Ginny and her support to Harry was amazing. I loved every bit of it. I must say I certainly would have loved to read a bit of fluff towards the end. Its not a complain its just something I wouls have liked.
| sbmcneil chapter 4 . 5/19/2012
I realize I'm reviewing out of order, but I'm very glad that Moody didn't derail the visit as much as he could have. The Weasley family Christmas traditions were great to see. I can so easily see them having their own special ornament - I did the same for my kids. The pensive box is a great idea, very thoughtful.
| sbmcneil chapter 3 . 5/17/2012
I'm glad that he is opening up to Ginny. He really needs someone to talk to. Hopefully his trip to the Burrow will help him. Love the chapter a day posting :)
| sbmcneil chapter 2 . 5/16/2012
Poor Harry, he is having an awful time, but it is very believable. I'm sure Mrs Weasley will have quite a bit to say. Its got to have hurt Harry that the team won so easily without him.
| Dimcairien chapter 2 . 5/16/2012
Thanks for explaining when this was written as I was very confused for a time. I'm glad that at least Ginny is noticing what's going on with Harry and I hope that she'll be able to help him. Please update soon.
| Dimcairien chapter 1 . 5/16/2012
This looks like it will be a very interesting story. It makes sense for Harry to distance himself, even thought that isn't shown much in the book. I also like how you're having Hermione and Ginny bond. I'm certain she's enjoying her time in the Muggle world.
| sbmcneil chapter 1 . 5/15/2012
So excited to see a new story from you :) Very intriguing. Many people have Ginny and Hermione as best friends, but I love that you are actually showing it. Ginny did very well in the Muggle world, but what happened to poor Harry while they were gone? Can't wait to see more.
| ServantOfTheSerpents chapter 1 . 5/15/2012
I like it! It's set out just like JK Rowling would write it, plus you can see all the positive and negative sides of the characters. One thing I would suggest to make it better is the abrupt, and somewhat cliche, ending. Perhaps I'm just being fussy, but perhaps a bit more conversation would've completed the ending just that little bit more. But overall, a brilliant story! :)

Ernest Hoschedé was a business man and art collector.
He was a patron of Monet, and became a close friend. He married Alice, a relatively wealthy woman of Belgian origin, and they had six chidren.
Monet had married Camille Doncieux, and they had two children. The two families spent time together, in an atmosphere of friendly companionship.
Ernest, who had an extravagant lifestyle, became bankrupt in 1877, and Monet, although financially affected by the event, invited the Hoschedé family to live with him and Camille, while Ernest struggled to find employment in Paris.
Camille died in 1879, and some time afterwards Claude and Alice began an affair. They married a year after Ernest's death in 1891.
Blanche Hoschedé-Monet, the daughter of Alice, became a pupil of Monet, and married his son Jean. She became largely responsible for the house and gardens at Giverny after Claude's death.
Another daughter, Suzanne, married the American painter Theodore Earl Butler, who often stayed with the family at Giverny.

What is Whiplash?
Whiplash is a term used to describe a collection of symptoms that can happen after a neck injury from a high speed collision. It is where the neck joints, muscles and ligaments are effectively 'sprained and strained'. Symptoms can present straight away but often there is a delay and pain can manifest 24 hours after the accident where the muscles of the neck stiffen up.
What causes Whiplash?
Any kind of high speed trauma can cause whiplash, it is not always a road traffic accident, for example, falling off a horse or falling down the stairs can also cause whiplash like symptoms.
What are the symptoms of Whiplash?
Dizziness, neck pain, arm pain, headaches, jaw ache (1 in 3 people with whiplash will experience jaw pain), shoulder pain, pins and needles into the arms.
What are the treatment options for Whiplash?
Pain medication from your GP can be very helpful at controlling the pain in the early stage (first 2-3 weeks). Conservative management includes Chiropractic, Osteopathy and physiotherapy and will usually include a management program of home exercises, mobilisation, manipulation and soft tissue work techniques.

Posted February 09, 2011
Booking a place on a Pilates class at my local gym takes the kind of Herculean organisational skills that I obviously don't have. I've been told that I have to book the class exactly 8 days in advance (no pre-booking is allowed) so this requires a calendar note to prompt myself.
This is tricky enough to remember. But as if this wasn't bad enough I also have to phone in within the first half hour of the gym opening if I'm to stand any chance of securing a place. Given that the gym opens at 6.30 in the morning I now have to forgo breakfast until I've got it sorted. Food deprivation first thing in the morning is always guaranteed to start me off on a bad track.
I could understand if I was on speed dial because I'm hunting down tickets for a Take That concert the second they go on sale. But this is just an exercise class, for crying out loud. Time to sign off as I can feel my blood pressure beginning to rise. I'd book a reflexology session to wind down but I hear there is a long waiting list. Grrr!

Tokyo 2020 – The Radioactive Olympics
In 2020, Japan is inviting athletes from around the world to take part in the Tokyo Olympic Games. We are hoping for the games to be fair and peaceful. At the same time, we are worried about plans to host baseball and softball competitions in Fukushima City, just 50 km away from the ruins of the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant. It was here, in 2011, that multiple nuclear meltdowns took place, spreading radioactivity across Japan and the Pacific Ocean – a catastrophe comparable only to the nuclear meltdown of Chernobyl.
The ecological and social consequences of this catastrophe can be seen everywhere in the country: whole families uprooted from their ancestral homes, deserted evacuation zones, hundreds of thousands of bags of irradiated soil dumped all over the country, contaminated forests, rivers and lakes. Normality has not returned to Japan. The reactors continue to be a radiation hazard as further catastrophes could occur at any time. Every day adds more radioactive contamination to the ocean, air and soil. Enormous amounts of radioactive waste are stored on the premises of the power plant in the open air. Should there be another earthquake, these would pose a grave danger to the population and the environment. The nuclear catastrophe continues today. On the occasion of the Olympic Games 2020, we are planning an international campaign. Our concern is that athletes and visitors to the games could be harmed by the radioactive contamination in the region, especially those people more vulnerable to radiation, children and pregnant women.
According to official Japanese government estimates, the Olympic Games will cost more than the equivalent of 12 billion Euros. At the same time, the Japanese government is threatening to cut support to all evacuees who are unwilling to return to the region. International regulations limit the permitted dose for the general public of additional radiation following a nuclear accident to 1 mSv per year. In areas where evacuation orders were recently lifted, the returning population will be exposed to levels up to 20 mSv per year. Even places that have undergone extensive decontamination efforts could be recontaminated at any time by unfavourable weather conditions, as mountains and forests serve as a continuous depot for radioactive particles. Our campaign will focus on educating the public about the dangers of the nuclear industry. We will explain what health threats the Japanese population was and is exposed to today. Even during normal operations, nuclear power plants pose a threat to public health – especially to infants and unborn children. There is still no safe permanent depository site for the toxic inheritance of the nuclear industry anywhere on earth, that is a fact.
We plan to use the media attention generated by the Olympic Games to support Japanese initiatives calling for a nuclear phase-out and to promote a worldwide energy revolution: away from fossil and nuclear fuels and towards renewable energy generation. We need to raise awareness of the involvement of political representatives around the world in the militaryindustrial complex. We denounce the attempt of the Japanese government to pretend that normality has returned to the contaminated regions of Japan. We call on all organisations to join our network and help us put together a steering group to coordinate this campaign. The Olympic Games are still two years away – now is still time to get organised. We look forward to hearing from you, with best regards,

Trump administration and Israel helping Saudi Arabia towards getting nuclear weapons
Concerns over Saudi plan to build nuclear plants after US deal | Al Jazeera English
Trump Admin Complementing Israeli Effort to Give Nuclear Weapons to Saudi Arabia https://www.mintpressnews.com/israel-saudi-arabia-nuclear-weapons-2/256761/
Already seven of the 10 countries in the world with the highest military budgets are in the Middle East. The development of nuclear weapons in Saudi Arabia has many speculating that it could mark the beginning of an even more dangerous era for the war-torn region. March 29th, 2019, By Alan Macleod
WASHINGTON — U.S. President Donald Trump's energy secretary, Rick Perry, has secretly approved the sale of nuclear power technology and assistance to Saudi Arabia, Reuters revealed this week. Saudi Arabia is reportedly attempting to construct at least two nuclear power plants as part of its effort to diversify its energy sector and its economy as a whole. As part of this plan it has accepted bids from Russia, South Korea and the U.S. for the lucrative contract. Perry's approval is known as a Part 810 authorization, which allows energy companies to begin the process of planning and starting preliminary work in anticipation of the closing of a formal deal in the future.
While the Saudi proposals are presented as civilian and do not mention nuclear weaponry, U.S. approval and sale of nuclear technology has been seen by many as a prelude to the development of a Saudi nuclear weapon, which could potentially spark anuclear arms race in the region. Riyadh has long coveted atomic weaponry and has considered developing its own in its quest to maintain military dominance in the region. "If Iran develops a nuclear weapon, that will be unacceptable to us and we will have to follow suit" Prince Turki al-Faisal, former Saudi ambassador to the United States, told the Guardian in 2011, noting that the kingdom may feel "compelled" to pursue the option in the future, if tensions with Iran remain high.
In reality, Iran does not have, nor is it trying to acquire, nuclear weapons technology (something quietly conceded by both the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad and the CIA), and has lived up to its commitments to the International Atomic Energy Agency. However, any such move from Saudi Arabia might provoke a response in kind from Iran, its chief adversary in the region and would sound a death knell for the hopes of the establishment of a nuclear weapons-free zone in the Middle East. The United States has long accused Iran of trying to develop nuclear weapons technology and has placed sanctions on the country.
The Israeli connection
An important nuclear player in the region is Israel, one of the few nations in the world that has not signed the nuclear non-proliferation treaty. Israel is estimated to possess 100 to 200 nuclear weapons and has taken a strongly adversarial position towards Iran. In 2015, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu appeared before a joint session of Congress with a cartoon image of a bomb to give a speech denouncing Iran and warning of an Iranian military threat. Israel has been key in pushing the United States into a more confrontational stance on Iran through a continuous public-relations drive to present the country as a menace.
Last year Mint Press News reported that the Israeli government had begun selling Saudi Arabia nuclear weapons secrets. Ami Dor-on, a senior official and nuclear specialist at the organization Israel's Homeland Security, blew the whistle on the clandestine practice. The Israeli actions were the latest evidence of a growing cooperation between the two nations. However, the prospect of a nuclear Saudi Arabia has many concerned.
The threat of a nuclear Saudi Arabia
For some time, Saudi Arabia has been making its presence felt in the Middle East, leading to the destabilization of the entire region. In 2011 Saudi tanks rolled into Bahrain to crush the Arab Spring uprising in the island country, and it continues to be a primary driver of the war in Yemen, labeled by some as genocide. At least 22 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance as a result of the Saudi bombardment of the country.
Riyadh also continues to fund various jihadist groups in Syria and is one of the largest financiers of terrorism in the world. Before his election, Trump claimed Saudi Arabia was behind the 9/11 attacks and the White House more recently insisted it would hold the kingdom responsible for the murder of Washington Post columnist Jamal Khashoggi. However, as with unabated American support for the Saudi war in Yemen, these proclamations have fallen short.
The Saudi armed services are already a formidable force. Saudi Arabia spends the third most of any country in the world on the military, behind only the U.S. and China, according to the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. The Saudi military's size is estimated at nearly a quarter-million active personnel, who are equipped with the most advanced weapons available.
Already seven of the 10 countries in the world with the highest military burden are in the Middle East. The development of nuclear weapons in Saudi Arabia has many speculating that it could mark the beginning of an even more dangerous era for the war-torn region.

U.S. Energy Secretary, Rick Perry, approved 6 secret nuclear technology companies' sales to Saudi Arabia
U.S. approved secret nuclear power work for Saudi Arabia
Timothy Gardner, 28 Mar 19, WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.S. Energy Secretary Rick Perry has approved six secret authorizations by companies to sell nuclear power technology and assistance to Saudi Arabia, according to a copy of a document seen by Reuters on Wednesday.
The Trump administration has quietly pursued a wider deal on sharing U.S. nuclear power technology with Saudi Arabia, which aims to build at least two nuclear power plants. Several countries including the United States, South Korea and Russia are in competition for that deal, and the winners are expected to be announced later this year by Saudi Arabia.
Perry's approvals, known as Part 810 authorizations, allow companies to do preliminary work on nuclear power ahead of any deal but not ship equipment that would go into a plant, a source with knowledge of the agreements said on condition of anonymity. The approvals were first reported by the Daily Beast.
The Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) said in the document that the companies had requested that the Trump administration keep the approvals secret.
"In this case, each of the companies which received a specific authorization for (Saudi Arabia) have provided us written request that their authorization be withheld from public release," the NNSA said in the document. In the past, the Energy Department made previous Part 810 authorizations available for the public to read at its headquarters. ……..
Last month, Democratic House members alleged in a report that top White House aides ignored warnings they could be breaking the law as they worked with former U.S. officials in a group called IP3 International to advance a multibillion-dollar plan to build nuclear reactors in the Middle East, including Saudi Arabia. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-saudi-nuclear/us-approved-secret-nuclear-power-work-for-saudi-arabia-idUSKCN1R82MG
US: Republican Senate Rejects Green New Deal
Trump and Putin are part of a dirty everything coup: dirty energy (fossil fuels and nuclear); dirty money; dirty old men. You can't call yourself an environmentalist and support or condone either one of them, nor their Congressional lackeys.
From VOA News:
"Republican-led US Senate Rejects Green New Deal
March 27, 2019 0:58 AM VOA News
The Republican-led Senate Tuesday night voted against consideration of the Democratically-supported New Green Deal — the outline of an ambitious plan to get the U.S. off climate-changing fossil fuels.
The vote was 57 to zero against the green proposal. Forty-three Democrats only said "present" when their names were called, refusing to participate in what they say was a Republican sham vote and stunt.
The Green New Deal is a non-binding proposal to shift the United States away from oil, natural gas, and coal to renewable energy sources, including wind and solar power.

The spring time is a wonderful time for any nature lover. It's also a time (easter especially) that's heavily associated with rabbits. In spring newly born rabbits are huddling in their nests or burrows, exposed to the world for the first time.
Lots of people associate baby rabbits (known as kittens) and their nests with the countryside. Yet it's very common that rabbits nest in residential and built up areas such as suburbs.
A rabbits nest often look like wilting patches of grass, and are very well hidden to the untrained eye. A key indicator that you're dealing with a rabbit nest is movement or sounds coming from the patch of grass. You might find leaves on top of the nest, or even traces of rabbit fur.
Great footage from Brians Art For Animals shows you what a rabbit nest can look like:
What Should I do if I find a Rabbit Nest?
Mother rabbits aren't usually present and return to the nest very occasionally. It's common for people to stumble across rabbit nests and assume they need rescuing. Yet, this is not the case.
You should never try to move the nest. You risk traumatising or even injuring the babies. Not to mention you're likely to end up separating them from their mother.
If you find the rabbit nest on your own piece of grass you should do your best to protect them without moving them. Don't mow your lawn, inform your family the nests there to prevent them stepping on the nest. If you pets that might cause the babies harm, keep them indoors!
If you find the nest on someone else's property such as your neighbour you should inform them the nest is there, and advise them to take precaution.
Don't take matters into your own hands. When unsure about the health or safety of rabbits always seek professional advice.

Miami seems to be the epicenter of stupid these days. So I thought I'd start anthread to talk about or track how they are doing.
The impetus for this has been a couple of recent stories about Miami development.
They are building a huge destination mall in a low lying region.
https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.busine ... ami-2018-5
Their is a new luxury residential skyscraper going up, 700' tall, 85 units, starting at $4.5 million.
There is a twisted logic to this development. If they stop growing the tax base will shrink and there will be no one to pay for the SLR effects.

Brand Ambassador Opportunity
Some of our student members might be interested in this job opportunity, sent in by the founders of Brewla, who are ECC members.
Paid Brand Ambassador position for Frozen Dessert Product
Immediate Start
About Us: Our company specializes in the creation of an all-natural line of novel and healthy frozen desserts, launched on grocery store shelves last fall and now in over 30 NY retailers. We're looking for dynamic individuals to represent our brand and help us grow.
Your Mission: We seek a motivated Brand Ambassador based in New York City who can independently conduct demonstrations in our Manhattan and Brooklyn retail locations. While schedules can be fairly flexible, demos will take place Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. We also encourage our Brand Ambassador to engage with our fan community on Facebook and Twitter. In addition, Brand Ambassadors are uniquely
positioned to brainstorm ideas with the rest of our team to improve our product and business as they are the main point of contact with consumers. Finally, we are a growing business and there is great potential to expand your function and responsibility in our venture, if you desire.
● Enthusiastic attitude and entrepreneurial spirit
● Passionate about food
● Excellent communication and presentation skills
● Experience with client engagement
The Brand Ambassador must be able to communicate the brand effectively to consumers, store managers and buyers. The time commitment per week is 15 hours on Fridays, Saturdays, or Sundays. We would like a commitment of at least 3 months but preferably longer. Having access to a car is not required, but is a plus.
Please note that while this is a fun and exciting position, it can be at times physically demanding as it requires picking up product and dry ice (total weight up to 15 pounds) from our Downtown Brooklyn location and taking the subway to the retail location where the demo takes place (if you don't have a car).
Application Process: This is a unique opportunity offering a window into the operations of a growing food startup. The position pays $12 an hour (including an hour for picking up dry ice and product and getting to the retail location) and expenses will be reimbursed. Applicants should submit a CV and a paragraph explaining why they are interested and detailing any relevant experience to email@example.com.
March 18, 2013 Meeting
The March meeting of the Experimental Cuisine Collective will take place on Monday, March 18, from 4 to 6 p.m.
Our speaker will be Antonio Ramos of Brooklyn Soda Works. He will talk about recipe development—specifically how his background as a chemist has been helpful in flavor extraction and optimizing processes, and discuss how Brooklyn Soda Works used techniques drawn from chemistry labs, the culinary world, the beer brewing industry, along with a love of delicious foods to create a line of premium carbonated juices.
Antonio received his undergraduate chemistry degree at NYU—where he was a student of ECC co-founder Kent Kirshenbaum—and worked for six years as a medicinal chemist at Johnson & Johnson and Sanofi-Aventis before starting Brooklyn Soda Works in early 2010 with his partner Caroline Mak, an installation artist.
February 25, 2013 Meeting
The second of two February meetings of the Experimental Cuisine Collective will take place on Monday, February 25, from 4 to 6 p.m.
Our speaker will be Rachel Dutton, a Bauer Fellow at Harvard University's FAS Center for Systems Biology, whose lab studies the microbial communities found on cheese. In caves and cellars around the world, communities of microbes colonize the surface of cheese as it ages. While these communities contribute to the aromas, flavors, and textures of aged cheeses, they can also be thought of as ideal model ecosystems to study microbes in their natural environment. With the advent of cheaper and more efficient DNA sequencing technologies, microbial communities can be examined in unprecedented detail. However, these techniques have rarely been applied to microbial ecosystems of fermented foods, and as a result, the exact nature of many of these communities remains a mystery. Dr. Dutton will discuss research in her lab using these DNA sequencing technologies to study community patterns in a collection of over 100 different types of cheese. She will discuss some of the highlights of this study, and the implications for future work and understanding of cheese. She will also discuss how her lab is using in vitro cheese to test models of community formation and interactions between microbes in the lab.
February 4, 2013 Meeting
Deliciousness and the Science Behind It
MEMPHYS-Center for Biomembrane Physics
University of Southern Denmark
Use of the term umami to describe the sensation of deliciousness in food is finding its way into the Western culinary vocabulary. Umami is now ranked as a fifth basic taste along with the four classical tastes: salty, sour, sweet, and bitter. Dr. Ole Mouritsen will review the concept of umami and deliciousness in a historical, evolutionary, and scientific context and describe recent advances in the understanding of the sensory perception of umami and the involved taste receptors. The unique molecular mechanism behind umami sensation is now partly understood as an allosteric (synergetic) action of glutamate and certain 5'-ribonucleotides on the umami receptors, and it explains why certain pairs of foodstuff taste delicious, e.g., eggs with bacon, meat with vegetables, and konbu with katsuobushi. Home and professional cooks and chefs across the world are more or less unknowingly exploiting this synergy in preparing delicious meals. As a specific example, Dr. Mouritsen will describe experimental work with chefs on producing dashi and umami flavor from Nordic seaweeds (http://www.flavourjournal.com/content/1/1/4).
December 10, 2012 Meeting
At the December 2012 meeting of the Experimental Cuisine Collective, La Boîte à Epices founder and owner Lior Lev Sercarz will talk about his work with spices, from sourcing to blending the finest of spices from around the world. He will also discuss agricultural and legislative issues that affect the flavor of spices. He and food photographer Thomas Schauer will also give us a preview of Lior's book The Art of Blending, ahead of its official release the next day.
Lior Lev Sercarz was raised in Israel and trained as a chef in France, where he was introduced to the fine art of spice blending by Olivier Roellinger. He moved to New York in 2002 to cook for Daniel Boulud, and left the restaurant kitchen in 2006 to work with spices full time. He has since created blends for some of the world's best chefs under the label La Boîte à Epices. In 2011, he opened a Manhattan store and art gallery, where he blends and sells his cpies and a line of sweet-savory biscuits. He is the author of The Art of Blending: Stories & Recipes from La Boîte's Spice Journey, published in December 2012.
November 19, 2012 Meeting
During the November 2012 session of the Experimental Cuisine Collective, Francisco Migoya will be officially presenting The Elements of Dessert, his latest, just released cookbook. He will discuss his motivation for writing this book, the process itself, the book's content, design, and format, and go through recipes that are particularly necessary to dissect and discuss. To understand these principles through practice, we will conclude by sampling some of the chocolates featured in the book!
Francisco J. Migoya is an associate professor at the Culinary Institute of America, in Hyde Park, New York. He is the author of Frozen Desserts, The Modern Café, nominated for a James Beard Award, and The Elements of Dessert. He was named one of the Top Ten Pastry Chefs in America in 2011 by Dessert Professional. Before the CIA, Francisco was the executive pastry chef for The French Laundry, Bouchon Bakery, and Bouchon Bistro.
September 17, 2012 Meeting
The September meeting of the Experimental Cuisine Collective will take place on Monday, September 17. Dan Felder, head of the Momofuku culinary lab, will talk about microbes, miso, and the Momofuku Culinary Lab. In this lecture, he will explore the culinary origin and scientific processes inherent to traditional fermentations. He will also examine how the study and understanding of these fermented staples of traditional cuisine serve as a catalyst for innovation, and allow him and his team the opportunity to make products that are delicious, unique, and meaningful. Additionally, he will speak about the role of science in the Momofuku kitchen, both conceptually and practically, and what they have learned as a result of this process.
Dan Felder is originally from Roxbury, CT, and began working in restaurants at 18, while he was studying at Union College in Saratoga Springs, NY. He moved to New York City and joined the Momofuku team in 2008 at Noodle Bar and ko, and now at the test kitchen.

View from the Nantucket Hostel
I was waiting for someone at the Star of the Sea Youth Hostel, so I took the time to sketch the view across the street towards the ocean. There is a home between the hostel and the beach and a couple of dunes as well. One of the hostel guests had his sippy drink and a cell phone and was chatting before he drove off on his Vespa. Since I got this much done on the sketch, I must have been waiting for an hour or so. I am attracted to the wind blown shapes of the tree trunks next to the beach. They reminded me of the wispy trees found at Big Sur in California.
Grey is a color that isn't usually used by me in watercolors, but in Nantucket every building is grey, so I actually had to find an art store to get a tube of black and white paint so I could mix grey each day. Luckily the art store was just a block away from Glen Weimer's home. Sometimes things do line up perfectly. This was my last day on the island. I miss it.
Prints are available for each sketch for $250 and many originals can be purchased for $400. White museum grade shadow box frames are $100 more. You can e-mail Thor at firstname.lastname@example.com

LinkedIn scams and spam have become a major nuisance for anyone using the professional world's most popular networking service. The problem is that the site's whole raison d'être is based on optimistic networking and that eventually involves being contacted or interacting with unknown users. Without that dimension most LinkedIn users' contact lists would barely stretch beyond 50 at most. Compounding this is that even trustworthy contracts can create weaknesses. The fact that you trust or personally know a fellow LinkedIn user doesn't mean they won't themselves accept a request from someone dubious, potentially opening a gateway for you to receive scam InMail depending on your account security and privacy settings.
LinkedIn scams – be incredibly careful about invitations
LinkedIn threats can be divided into two types: Bogus connection requests from fake users within the service and Email phishing attacks outside LinkedIn that pretend to be connection confirmations. It's tempting to see attacks outside the service as less of a concern but remember how the service works – people send out connection requests and by default these are forwarded to the registered email address. People get used to clicking on them and therein lies the threat.
Webmail services will normally filter LinkedIn phishing emails but one way to identify them is to hover the mouse cursor over the blue 'confirmation' box LinkedIn embeds inside requests and study the web address. Anything that begins 'https://www.linkedin.com' is probably fine. However, a better approach is simply NEVER to accept connection requests from outside LinkedIn, period. Always log on to the service and vet them first.
LinkedIn scams - fake recruiters
Even within LinkedIn, a common technique is to use fake recruiters – security companies regularly document these types of attack. Anyone with more than a few hundred LinkedIn contacts probably has one or two of these bogus accounts hiding within their contact list. The point of these attacks is to persuade a few people to connect to them, which makes them look more legitimate to others as they spread. They also use acceptance as a way to scan for additional and possibly higher-value contacts.
LinkedIn scams - get to know LinkedIn's privacy settings
The simplest way to avoid the scammers is to become less visible using the service's Privacy Controls. Unfortunately, LinkedIn can quickly turn into a privacy labyrinth. The first setting to look for is 'who can send you invitations' (under Privacy Settings > Communications tab). The three options here are 'anyone on LinkedIn' which is recommended but where problems start. The alternatives are only people who already know your email address or appear on an imported contacts list.
The second setting is to specify the types of messages you're willing to receive under the same tab. One way of filtering out some of the recruitments scammers is to uncheck the 'career opportunities' and 'new ventures' boxes.
LinkedIn scams - turn off connection visibility
One of the purposes of malicious accounts is to spread and that is achieved by studying a user's own connections. Stopping that means configuring it so that only you can see your connections (Privacy Controls > choose who can see your connections). You might also have to turn off the visibility of endorsements.
LinkedIn scams - set boundaries
Symantec's current advice is this: "If you've never met the person before, don't just add them." That strikes us as completely unrealistic. The better approach is to be discerning and set some criteria for who is accepted and who is not. This also requires actually visiting and studying the profile of anyone asking to connect. LinkedIn is supposed to be about quality, not quantity. Unfortunately, some users persist and seeing this kind of networking as a measure of popularity or importance – bad idea.
LinkedIn scams - spotting fake connections
The final judgment about fake connection request is simply noticing that they are fakes. This isn't as hard as it sounds. A recent warning put out by Symantec offers good examples of the common elements that often mark fake connections out. These include:
Generic photographs
Image of people or logos that look as if they've been lifted. Symantec recommends using a reverse image search (Google's search by image) to check out origins. Images of young women are a favourite.
Keyword stuffing
Depending on the type of fake account, scammers will always fill text with the sorts of SEO terms few real users would ever use. There will often be a lot.
A small number of connections
LinkedIn eventually spots fake accounts and closes them – scammers will almost always have only a single-digit numbers of connections. Ask yourself: why would someone you've never heard of request a connection despite being connected to few other people?
Incomplete profile
Whole sections of bogus profiles will be blank. Genuine connections rarely enter information in this way. Others sections will read as if they've been be cut and pasted form elsewhere, employing a generic writing style with misspellings.
LinkedIn scams - report fakes
LinkedIn offers a simple way to report suspicious connection requests from within the service. In the connection 'send a message' drop down box on a user's profile page, it is possible to block or report a LinkedIn user based on the following policy: "This person will be submitted for review. We'll look for inappropriate behavior or violations of our Terms of Use. Choose this option if you think this member's behavior is bad for the LinkedIn community."

Flexible friend
My 16-year-old gelding seems to be getting stiff. Are there any exercises or polework patterns that I can do on the lunge to help increase his suppleness? Sam Ranken
Jo Winfield answers:
Lungeing is an excellent form of non-ridden exercise and allows the lunger to watch how the horse is moving. This may be the only time you get to see your horse's natural way of going. Ideally, it should be done on a weekly basis and it can replace ridden work. Time spent lungeing properly is more effort than a steady walk out hacking, so it can be a valuable part of a fitness programme, too.
A useful lungeing exercise is to place four single poles just inside a 20-metre circle, so they divide the circle into quarters - your horse should be able to do a 15-metre circle over the middle of the poles. Ideally, use striped poles, as it is easier for you to see exactly where your horse is stepping. Start by lungeing on a large circle so that your horse trots around the outside of the poles without going over them. Then decrease the circle so he trots over the poles on a 17-metre circle, 15-metre circle and a 12-metre circle. This will not only improve your horse's suppleness, but your accuracy at lungeing, too.
As well as lungeing, a good ridden exercise is to stay in an area of the school that measures about 20x20m, bring your horse onto a circle in one corner, then start to decrease the circle to about 10m for 1-3 complete circles. As your horse is on the smaller circle, he has to work harder to maintain his balance, hence the need to only stay on this size for a few circles. Then he can be encouraged to move out of the corner onto a bigger 15-18m circle before repeating the exercise in the next corner. Your horse's suppleness will develop as he has to flex to the various circle sizes - remember to repeat it on both reins.

Ask the experts
Ride and feed
How long should I wait after feeding my horse before I ride him? Abby Molyneux
A Clare Barfoot answers:
This will depend on the type of feed, the size of the meal and the intensity of the work you'll be doing. If the meal is small - for example, 500 grammes for a 500kg horse - and is mainly fibre-based, such as a chop or chaff, then it is possible to ride straightaway, especially if you're only going for a gentle hack. On the flip side, if the meal is 2kg of compound feed or straight cereals, it is advisable to wait for at least one hour or up to two hours if fast work is involved.
There is one thing to bear in mind, though - if you are going to be doing fast work, it is preferable to feed either long or chopped fibre before exercise to reduce the risk of gastric splashing, which is where the acidic stomach contents splash up onto the unprotected upper part of the stomach where it can contribute to the development of gastric ulcers.
volume of the gastrointestinal tract of an average-sized 500kg horse is 200 litres. The stomach only accounts for 8-15 litres
Feeding before you ride can sometimes be beneficial. For example, if your, horse tends to be sluggish, feeding a high-energy feed and letting him digest it before riding can give him a boost.
Top tips
• When travelling several horses together, be careful not to over rug because their body heat can generate a lot of warmth in the lorry.
• If you're travelling horses in a trailer, the heaviest horse should be in the right-hand side of the trailer behind the driver, to keep it balanced. [Left side if in North America]
• Since 2009, it has been a legal requirement that whenever you travel your horse in a vehicle, you must take his passport with you regardless of the distance or destination. The only exemption is travelling your horse for emergency veterinary treatment. [This is Britain and Europe…..only crossing the border USA/Canada do you need the correct paper-work - Keith Hunt]
Naughty nibbles
My horse chews his leadrope and I'm forever having to buy new ones. Why does he do this? Lyn Ferguson
Anna Saillet answers:
The simple answer to this question is, it depends! There are many different reasons why a horse may chew on his leadrope and the answer often lies in what context this behaviour happens. Young horses will often demonstrate investigatory and playful chewing behaviour, and even some adult horses seem to enjoy playing orally with different objects. This can be a normal behaviour and by providing a variety of objects for your horse to play with, you can help to satisfy this natural behavioural need.
Chewing can also be a displacement behaviour - this may be due to the horse being stressed or anxious about the situation he is in or when he is feeling conflicted about performing a particular behaviour. For example, perhaps he begins to chew his leadrope each time the owner approaches with his tack, because he's anxious about being ridden. Try to keep a record of the times and situations when his chewing behaviour becomes more frequent, so that you can become aware of any patterns or triggers for the behaviour.
The chewing may also be a learnt behaviour - perhaps in the past your horse has learned that he gains attention from you when he chews the rope, so the behaviour has been reinforced by your response to it. Remember that if your horse is seeking attention, even negative attention is still attention, so telling him off may be unintentionally reinforcing the behaviour.
Always avoid punishing your horse for this behaviour because some horses chew more when they become anxious or stressed, so punishment could make the behaviour worse. Instead, try to distract him, then encourage a different, more appropriate behaviour. It is also important to rule out oral pain or discomfort as a cause of this behaviour, so ask your vet to check for any dental problems that your horse may be experiencing.
Remember that spending long periods of time tied up without anything to stimulate him can be difficult for your horse. Provide a haynet for him when you are grooming or tacking up, so that he has something to do while you are busy.
Overprotective pals
When I try to catch my mare, another mare in her field always gets between us, trying to stop me catching her by herding her away. Why is she doing this and how can I stop her? Ashley Cartwright
Natalie Waran answers:
This is an interesting response and it mirrors the sorts of behaviour you see in herds of horses living in their natural state. Sadly, there aren't any wild horses left, but there are free-living feral groups (once domesticated but now free-roaming and breeding) living in many parts of the world, including Japanese Misaki horses, the Sable Island horses in the USA and, of course, New Forest ponies. We've learned a great deal from the work that behaviourists have done in observing the behaviour of these different herds.
The first thing that you need to think about is your interpretation of the mare's behaviour towards your horse. This mare isn't trying to stop you from catching her - this would imply that she was able to predict your intention, which is something we don't believe horses do that well - rather it is likely that the 'herding' mare is controlling the actions of your horse because that's their relationship.
Horse social behaviour is complex. Mares generally have a social order based on a variety of factors, including age, experience and reproductive state. For example, mares coming into oestrus will often try to dominate interactions with geldings in their group, pushing other horses away and soliciting the attention of the often confused, chosen gelding.
It could be that the pushy mare has developed a close relationship with your mare, so she is preventing her from interacting with you (or any other horses). She may also have learned that when you appear, this means that her field-mate is taken away, motivating her to try to prevent her field mate from leaving. It may also be that you are associated with food or something positive, so the pushy mare is trying to prevent your mare from having preferential access to you.
There are a whole range of possible explanations and these are the sorts of questions behaviourists will ask, then try to find out the answers to, through structured studies involving some manipulations to test responses to different possible explanations. It would be interesting to test some of these possibilities with your situation, so that you can better understand the underlying causes of the behaviour. For example, does it occur more when one or other of the mares is in season? Is there any reward that you can see for the behaviour? What is their relationship like in other situations? These sorts of questions will help you to unravel the mysteries of the secret thoughts of horses.
WHILE THE ANSWER TO THE ABOVE QUESTION IS GOOD, FOR THE VARIOUS REASONS GIVEN, IT DOES NOT GIVE YOU AN EASY ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM. AND WHILE THE TWO MARES ARE TOGETHER, THERE MAY NOT BE AN EASY ANSWER, ESPECIALLY IF YOUR ALONE, WITH NO OTHER HUMAN TO HELP YOU. TWO PEOPLE WOULD HAVE A MUCH EASY CHANCE CATCHING YOUR HORSE, ONE HOLDING THE INTERFERING MARE, WHILE YOU CATCH YOUR MARE - Keith Hunt

Wrong-way crashes in New Jersey are responsible for multiple deaths and injuries each year. In the past several months, these crashes have killed or severely injured several New Jersey motorists. A 65-year-old Belleville man was catastrophically injured after being hit by a wrong-way driver in early January. In addition to no longer being able to walk, he has since undergone multiple surgeries. Authorities charged the wrong-way driver with possession of drugs. Another crash on the New Jersey Turnpike in early January took the life of a 23-year-old woman. The wrong-way driver also died.
A report published by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) lists a few reasons why these crashes happen in New Jersey and across the country. As you may have already guessed, the NTSB's findings show that drunk driving is a primary cause of wrong-way crashes. Impaired drivers are more likely to make mistakes, such as driving onto an exit ramp. More than half of wrong-way crashes involve drunk drivers.
The NTSB's report also found that a majority of wrong-way crashes occur between 6PM and 6AM. Not only are people more likely to be drinking during this time, they are more likely to be tired and may have difficulty seeing road signs. Transportation regulators have also identified distracted driving as another possible cause of wrong-way crashes.
Can I Sue If I'm Injured in a Wrong-Way Crash?
A wrong-way crash is more likely to result in life-altering injuries or death. This type of car accident can lead to medical expenses in the hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars. In addition, people involved in these crashes may be unable to return to their occupations. The types of injuries caused by a wrong-way crash, such as a spinal cord injury or brain injury, are likely to cause emotional pain and suffering for survivors and their families.
It may be possible to secure compensation against the at-fault driver or his or her employer. The New Jersey auto accident attorneys at Donald G. Targan & Associates could review your situation at no cost. Our attorneys could help you determine your legal options for holding the driver or other parties accountable.

Reput-ed evi-dence of a new "hack" alleged-ly done by the G.R.U. does-n't pass the sniffs test.
Fac-tors to be weighed in con-nec-tion with the lat-est "hack" of the Ukrain-ian nat-ur-al gas -pa-ny Buris-ma (on whose board Hunter Biden sits–a fact that has been a focal point of the impeach-ment pro-ceed-ings):
As we have not-ed in many pre-vi-ous broad-casts and posts, cyber attacks are eas-i-ly dis-guised. Per-pe-trat-ing a "cyber false flag" oper-a-tion is dis-turbing-ly easy to do. In a world where the ver-i-fi-ably false and phys-i-cal-ly impos-si-ble "con-trolled demolition"/Truther non-sense has gained trac-tion, cyber false flag ops are all the more threat-en-ing and sin-is-ter.
Now, we learn that the CIA's hack-ing tools are specif-i-cal-ly craft-ed to mask CIA author-ship of the attacks. Most sig-nif-i-cant-ly, for our pur-pos-es, is the fact that the Agen-cy's hack-ing tools are engi-neered in such a way as to per-mit the authors of the event to rep-re-sent them-selves as Russ-ian.
" . . . . These tools could make it more dif-fi-cult for anti-virus -pa-nies and foren-sic inves-ti-ga-tors to attribute hacks to the CIA. Could this call the source of pre-vi-ous hacks into ques-tion? It appears that yes, this might be used to dis-guise the CIA's own hacks to appear as if they were Russ-ian, Chi-nese, or from spe-cif-ic oth-er coun-tries. . . . This might allow a mal-ware cre-ator to not only look like they were speak-ing in Russ-ian or Chi-nese, rather than in Eng-lish, but to also look like they tried to hide that they were not speak-ing Eng-lish . . . ."
This is of para-mount sig-nif-i-cance in eval-u-at-ing the increas-ing-ly neo-McCarthyite New Cold War pro-pa-gan-da about "Russ-ian inter-fer-ence" in the U.S. elec-tion, and Russ-ian author-ship of the high-pro-file hacks.
With Buris-ma at the cen-ter of the impeach-ment pro-ceed-ings in Wash-ing-ton, we note some inter-est-ing rela-tion-ships involv-ing Buris-ma and its board of direc-tors, on which Hunter Biden sits.
Some of the con-sid-er-a-tions to be weighed in that con-text
With the impeach-ment pro-ceed-ings now head-ing toward their most prob-a-ble conclusion–Trump's acquit-tal– and with the inces-sant bab-ble about the non-exis-tent "Russ-ian inter-fer-ence" in the U.S. elec-tion, it is worth con-tem-plat-ing Amer-i-can inter-fer-ence in Russ-ian pol-i-tics.
Against the back-ground of decades of Amer-i-can-backed and/or ini-ti-at-ed coups over-throw-ing gov-ern-ments around the world, we high-light U.S. sup-port for Boris Yeltsin. Fol-low-ing the NED's ele-va-tion of Nazi-allied fas-cists in Lithua-nia and the expan-sion of that Gehlen/CFF/GOP milieu inside the for-mer Sovi-et Union cour-tesy of the Free Con-gress Foun-da-tion, the U.S. hoist-ed Yeltsin into the dri-ver's seat of the new-ly-mint-ed Rus-sia. (One should nev-er for-get that Jef-frey Sachs, a key eco-nom-ic advis-er to Bernie Sanders and Alexan-dria Oca-sio-Cortez head-ed the team that sent the Russ-ian econ-o-my back to the stone age.)
