Wat Falhurst quotes
Uh, betray us, and I will fong you, until your insides are out, your outsides are in, your entrails will become your extrails I will w-rip... all the p... ugh. Pain, lots of pain.
[in a letter] I miss you like the sun misses the flower. Like the sun misses the flower in the depths of winter. Instead of beauty to direct it's light to the heart hardens like the frozen world your absence has banished me to.
All right, I'm about this fonging close mate! I swear to God, Quasimodo! I oughta...
We're the sons of peasants. Glory, and riches, and stars are beyond our grasps. But a full stomach, that dream can come true!
We're English, Geoff! We know who he is!

Gulf of Mexico's 'dead zone' to be biggest on record this year
Karen Graham
Jun 22, 2017 in
The oxygen-poor dead zone in the Gulf of Mexico is expected to be the third largest ever this year, doubling in size to cover an area of the northern Gulf roughly the size of the state of New Jersey.
The annual prediction,
"2017 Forecast: Summer Hypoxic Zone Size, Northern Gulf of Mexico,"
is the work of Louisiana State oceanographers, R. Eugene Turner and Nancy Rabalais.
This year's prediction estimates the dead zone will cover more than 10,000 square miles (26,000 square kilometers) off the shores of Louisiana and Texas. However, even during a normal year, the Gulf's dead zone is the largest in North America and second-largest in the world. The size and extent of the zone usually peaks in mid-July every year.
Dead zones can be found worldwide, and include the Baltic Sea, Black Sea, off the coast of Oregon, and in the Chesapeake Bay. Dead zones may also be found in lakes, such as Lake Erie.
What is the Gulf of Mexico's dead zone?
The Gulf of Mexico's dead zone is an expanse of hypoxic waters at the mouth of the Mississippi River. While the size of the zone can vary, it usually extends to cover an area about 5,000 to 6,000 square miles.
Map showing distribution of bottom-water dissolved oxygen from July 28 to August 3, 2015, west of the Mississippi River delta. Black lined areas — areas in red to deep red — have very little dissolved oxygen.
The zone extends from the inner and mid-continental shelf in the northern Gulf of Mexico, beginning at the Mississippi River delta and extending westward to the upper Texas coast.
A dead zone
is characterized as having less than 2.0 parts per million (PPM) of dissolved oxygen, making it hypoxic.
The Gulf's dead zone is caused by the nitrogen-rich agricultural runoff in the Midwest farm belt. This fertilizer runoff, along with human and animal wastewater, fuels the growth of algae. When the algae die, it sinks to the bottom and decomposes, sucking the oxygen from the water and making it uninhabitable for fish and other marine organisms.
Wide range of effects resulting from dead zone
The biggest threat from a large and extended dead zone will be to the
U.S. seafood industry
. The Gulf supplies 72 percent of U.S. harvested shrimp, 66 percent of harvested oysters, and 16 percent of commercial fish. This means fishermen and coastal economies could suffer.

Elizabeth Parker
The Gulf Dead Zone may also slow shrimp growth, leading to fewer large shrimp," the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), which funded the study, said in
a statement
. "This could mean higher costs of large shrimp at the marketplace and an economic ripple effect on the Gulf shrimp fisheries."
Easy solutions but few concerted efforts
From the federal government on down the line through state and local government bodies, information on mitigating the effects of fertilizers, septic tank waste and wastewater discharges into our river systems is readily available to everyone. The USGS estimates that in May this year, 165,000 tons of nitrate — roughly 2,800 train cars of fertilizer — plus 22,600 metric tons of phosphorus flowed down the Mississippi and Atchafalaya Rivers.

Lynn Betts
But here is how government works - In 2008, the New Orleans-based Gulf Restoration Network filed a petition asking the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to issue standards for applying fertilizers in states along the Mississippi River.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) responded, saying: that though it agrees "nutrient loadings to the Mississippi River and its tributaries are both harming upstream water quality and contributing significantly to hypoxia … in the Gulf of Mexico" it "does not believe that the comprehensive use of federal rule-making authority is the most effective or practical means of addressing these concerns at this time."
So this is the way it stands today. Yes, some farmers are to be given credit for trying to reduce fertilizer runoff from their lands, but as long as large agribusiness farms continue in their usual way, nothing will change until it's too late to make changes.

When it came to pizza nights at my house growing up, there was always the inevitable argument over what topping we would get.
Sometimes one of us would win out, while other times we would compromise and split the pizza half-and-half.
But through all those topping disputes, it never dawned on me that our topping preferences might actually be saying something about our personalities.
According to Medical Daily, "Eating preferences can be a doorway to your personality." This makes sense since taste is so intricately connected to the central nervous system, which is responsible for everything from our emotions to our behavior.
And just as the way you eat can reveal secrets to your personality, what you eat can say just as much!
Scroll through this exclusive list below to see exactly what your favorite pizza topping says about you. And if you are a fan of more than one topping, you may just possess the personality elements of both.
I was actually stunned by how accurate my description was. I may never think about pizza night the same way again!
What did your topping preference reveal about you? Were your results as accurate as mine? Let us know in the comments.

Take a morning stroll through Pike Place Market in Seattle and you just may be serenaded by a few fishmongers. They are the sirens of the sea who'll seduce you into buying the fresh catch of the day, and it's bound to be among the best fish you've ever tasted. The only things more fresh and tempting than the seafood are the rainbows of fresh vegetables and fruits and colorful cut flowers. Where else can a generous bouquet be had for only $10-$15?
Seattle is one of the most sensory pleasing cities in the USA. There's the Seattle sound in music and a distinctive hipster/lumberjack fashion look to ward off the chilly dampness in the air. Art and design flourish. Glass blown sculptures are a signature of the city, and a museum is dedicated to local legend, Dale Chihuly (check out the café inside).
Pacific Northwest food and drink are among the biggest attractions, and all trips start at Pike Place Market. The crowds grow throughout the day so go early for a stroll and breakfast when it is a tad quieter. If biscuits and eggs are your ideal morning meal, you are in luck with two options: Honest Biscuits in the market and nearby Biscuit Bitch (1909 1st Ave). Or try the flaky croissants at Le Panier, the French bakery in Pike Place. Seattle is also known for its many coffee bars and bean roasters. It's the home of Starbucks, and you have to smirk at the long lines outside the original store in Pike Place Market when so many of its locations are elsewhere.
Seafood reigns supreme: fresh Pacific oysters and other mollusks, salmon of all kinds and the strangely phallic geoduck clam rest atop layers of crushed ice at the market. Oyster bars are abundant, and you could spend a lazy afternoon slurping down a few dozen on the half shell with a crisp Washington State Riesling or French Chablis. Here are a few to try:
• Elliott's Oyster House where the oysters and view of the bay are not to be missed. (1201 Alaskan Way)
• Taylor Shellfish is one of the city's top oyster purveyors and has oyster bars around the city.
• Emmett Watson's Oyster Bar is a tiny, tucked away restaurant that received a James Beard Foundation "America's Classic" award. (1916 Pike Place)
• Bar Melusine and The Walrus and The Carpenter are both owned by James Beard Award-winning Chef Renee Erickson. (1060 E Union St & 4743 Ballard Ave NW)
Land lovers need not worry. There is plenty to eat from the local farms and growers, and many restaurants are committed to supporting them.
• Chef Maria Hines is a pint size chef with a sizeable presence throughout Seattle and is recognized for her commitment to sustainability and organic cooking. Her flagship restaurant, Tilth, serves new American fare, while Agrodolce is her love letter to southern Italy and Sicily. (1411 N 45th St & 709 N 35th St)
• Chef Tamara Murphy calls her menu "earth to plate" at Terra Plata with a focus on local farmers. Luckily she holds back seats for walk-in customers since this restaurant is drawing raves since opening. (1501 Melrose Ave)
• Angela and Ethan Stowell own several restaurants some with a Mediterranean flair including How To Cook a Wolf, an homage to the late food writer, MFK Fisher, and Staple and Fancy. (2208 Queen Anne Ave N & 4739 Ballard Ave NW)
• Husband and wife duo, Rachel Yang and Seif Chirchi, own four restaurants with an Asian twist including Joule, a Korean steakhouse; Trove, specializing in Korean barbecue; and Revel, serving noodles, dumplings, savory pancakes and other Asian street fares. (3506 Stone Way N, 500 E Pike St, & 403 N 36th St)
• End your evening at one of Seattle's cocktail hotspots like the Zig Zag Café or Bathtub Gin & Co. (1501 Western Ave & 2205 2nd Ave)

Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, speaking in Parliament which is currently in session, on Tuesday disproved of the acceptance of Bitcoin as legal currency in India.
Bitcoin is not a legal tender in India, Jaitley said adding to previous disapprovals by the country's Central bank that has agreed on the same.
Jaitley added that 11 cryptocurrency exchanges have been identified in India and the government will not take decisions on cryptocurrencies, as per Bloomberg alerts.
The government panel is also awaiting a report on tackling cryptocurrencies in India, Jaitley said.
DMK MP Kanimozhi today raised a question about Bitcoin
DMK MP Kanimozhi today raised a question in the Rajya Sabha. He said, "What are the steps taken by the Government to determine whether cryptocurrency, such as Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies in circulation now on websites, have been approved in India?"
Moreover, using the cryptocurrency method, the terrorist organizations are engaged in the cash transaction and the state government should disclose the details of the government.
Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said in reply:
"cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin are not legally recognized bank transactions in India. The Federal Reserve and the Federal Reserve have made it clear. Furthermore, cryptocurrencies do not depend on any state. Rather it has been used in secret procedures. This is in the way of online methods and VATS-like groups.
785 cryptocurrencies methods are practised all over the world. 11 currency practices in India are in circulation. In 2016 an executive committee has been set up and we have made clear that there is no legal protection for such cryptocurrencies.

Someone on the Minnesota Timberwolves appears to finally be fed up with Tom Thibodeau's minutes distribution.
That someone is Jeff Teague.
The Timberwolves fell to the Memphis Grizzles on Monday—yes, those Grizzlies. The tanking Grizzlies. Not having Jimmy Butler in the rotation isn't a viable excuse for losing to them. Not when Wayne Selden is torching you for 20-plus points.
Anyway, Thibs had four players log at least 39 minutes, three of whom finished north of 40. He gave Jamal Crawford more than 30, Gorgui Dieng around 14 and Tyus Jones fewer than six. And that was that. His entire rotation spanned eight guys deep. Really, it was seven guys deep, since Jones barely saw the floor.
Afterward, Teague not-so-subtly hinted that Thibs' minutes distribution could be costing the Timberwolves, per The Athletic's Jon Krawczynski:
Teague on the bench: "Guys get tired. I think they need opportunities. … Hopefully Thibs sees that they can really help."
— Jon Krawczynski (@JonKrawczynski) March 26, 2018
So, like, Teague has a point. A really good one.
The Timberwolves' bench has totaled just over 1,000 collective minutes for the season—more than 200 fewer than the 29th-ranked Oklahoma City Thunder, per NBA.com. The starting lineup of Teague, Butler, Andrew Wiggins, Karl-Anthony Towns and Taj Gibson has also seen over 200 possessions more than any other lineup in the league, according to Cleaning The Glass—and Butler hasn't played in the past 13 games.
So, yeah, Teague absolutely has a point. Thibs is going to risk burning out his players prior to the postseason—and that's assuming they even get there. They have a 1.5-game hold on eighth place in the Western Conference, and they still don't know for sure when Butler will return or how close to regular form he'll be upon taking the court. And while neither the Los Angeles Clippers nor Denver Nuggets are doing their part to make them sweat, the Timberwolves may have to expend every last ounce of energy just to earn the rights to suffering a first-round exit at the hands of the Houston Rockets.

Why 'courage' is a Scrum value and 'being right' is not
I often see situations like this in software teams:
Alice: "We can't begin testing because we're still waiting to hear from Bob about when the RC will be ready. He will let us all know in the official Slack channel. Stand by."
Bob: "I know you're all waiting for the RC but I need confirmation from Craig first, and he's not responding to his email".
Craig: "Usually it's Dan who makes this decision but he's on holiday and he didn't brief me on this when he handed his tasks over to me…".
Typically, I (mis)diagnose this as a problem of ignorance. The roles and responsibilities are not clear enough! Let's make another checklist, create another role, set another OKR. This will help people to understand exactly when they're right or wrong.
Today I had a little epiphany: it's not an ignorance problem — it's an indecisiveness problem. Often we're not clueless — we're just unwilling to make a decision.
The incumbent mental model in our industry is that making software is like manufacturing electric cars (or rockets). It seems that we're in love with the idea of the archetypal engineer, whose decisions are imbued by the exacting precision of the scientific method. But making software is really more like playing rugby (despite the clichés). It's chaotic and messy. It relies way more on in-the-moment decision making and quick reads of your teammates than on your ability for careful reasoning.
So what keeps people from making good local decisions? Even if I have perfect knowledge of how to do something, I will avoid making any decisions that could get me in trouble if I fail. In fact, this fear could leave me paralysed.
We've been hearing a lot about "psychological safety" and "safe-to-fail" recently, but it boils down to something simpler: courage — and it starts with us as agile practitioners. Let's stop hiding behind the default "process process process" modus operandi and start focussing on helping people make the tough and meaningful decisions they're expected to make every day.

At the end of January 2018, TreasuryDirect reported an astounding 35,994,100 Series EE Savings Bonds were unredeemed and still floating around. Those bonds have a value of $15,049,434,597. If you have found some old certificates, depending on the issue date, it may be a simple thing to find out if savings bonds have been cashed out already. You can still track even older matured bonds with the Treasury Department, if necessary. Once you know the status of your bonds, you'll know how to proceed with redeeming them.
Start Your Search Locally
TreasuryDirect recommends starting your search at your local financial institution. Here, you may be quickly able to determine whether your bond is still eligible to be redeemed. If you reach a dead-end here, your next step is to send a signed request to the U.S. Treasury.
Send a Written Request
If you're the owner or co-owner of the bond, write a letter to the Treasury Department requesting a manual check to see whether the bonds are still unredeemed. Include your SSN or EIN and complete name, as well as the bond's serial number, issue date and the face value of the bond in your query letter. If both the owner and co-owner are deceased, you'll have to include a copy of each person's death certificate with your signed request.
Mail your request to: Treasury Retail Securities Services, P.O. Box 214, Minneapolis, MN, 55480-0214.
Fill Out the Claim Form
Visit TreasuryDirect.gov and perform an internal search for "Fiscal Service Form 1048 (Claim for Lost, Stolen, or Destroyed United States Savings Bonds)". This form also includes detailed instructions to help walk you through a step-by-step process to file your claim. The U.S. Treasury's search results of your claim will let you know if your bond has already been cashed or if it's still redeemable.
Gather Supporting Information
You'll need to provide as much information as possible, including the bond's issue date, face amount and bond number. Form 1048 is used when bonds are lost, stolen, or misplaced. It's also used by those who live in disaster-declared areas. If you live in a declared disaster area, you won't have to fill out the entire form. The instructions require you to complete only Parts 1, 5, 6.B and 7, and they also direct you to write "DISASTER" at the top of the form and on the envelope.
Submit an Inquiry Through TreasuryDirect
Visit the "Contact Us" page of the TreasuryDirect website. Fill in the fields of the form, including a short message about the bonds you are trying to locate. Providing the serial number for the bonds will help speed up the process. A TreasuryDirect employee may contact you for additional information to search manually for your bonds.

Workforce Policy Reform
Farm Workforce Modernization Act
Introduced and passed (December 18th) in the House of Representatives, this bill will bring foward the following reforms for the agricultural workforce:
• America's farmers and ranchers are in desperate need of a legal, reliable workforce.
• The bill creates an earned path to legal status for our current agricultural workforce, requiring significant past and future work commitments, to ensure the stability of American agriculture.
• It includes strong biometric security for the current and incoming agriculture workforce.
• Current H-2A visa holders can remain in the program as they are now.
Title I. Earned Legalization for Certified Agricultural Workers
This title establishes a program for agricultural workers in the United States to earn legal status through continued agricultural employment and contribution to the U.S. agricultural economy.
1. Initial Eligibility. Applicants must show at least 180 days of agricultural employment over the last 2 years.
2. Five Year Renewable Visas. Qualified applicants are provided 5-year renewable agriculture visas. Individuals can renew their 5-year visas by working in agriculture each year. Those who have ag experience but do not meet the criteria for eligibility are provided the option of applying for H-2A visas.
3. Option for Permanent Resident Status. Individuals have the opportunity to but are not required to, earn Legal Permanent Resident (LPR) status. Those applying for LPR status must pay a $1,000 fine and meet one of the following criteria:
- If an individual worked in agriculture in the U.S. for at least 10 years before enactment, they must work an additional 4 years in agriculture after enactment before they can apply.
- If an individual worked in agriculture in the U.S. for less than 10 years, they must work an additional 8 years in agriculture before being eligible to apply for LPR status.
Title II. Improving the H-2A Program
• This title would improve the H-2A visa program to work for all of production agriculture.
• It would reduce the time and cost for growers who utilize the program, so they have access to a legal source of labor when they need it.
• It modernizes and applies caps to the out-of-control wage growth in the Adverse Effect Wage Rate (AEWR).
• It creates efficiencies in the processing of applications to ensure that growers and farmworkers are providing information in a timely manner.
• It pilots a portable visa to allow employers and farmworkers to respond more dynamically to labor needs.
This title reforms the H-2A program to provide more flexibility for employers, while ensuring critical protections for workers. The bill would focus on modifications to make the program more responsive and user friendly for employers.
1. Single Portal for Filing. Employers would now have a single filing process through an online portal, which DHS, DOL, and the State Workforce Agencies (SWAs) can process simultaneously, rather than three distinct adjudications under the current system. This streamlining of these systems works toward reducing costs and processing time from 75 to 60 days.
2. Single Petition for Staggered Needs. Employers would now be able to file one petition reflecting staggered labor needs. For example, under the current program, if an employer needs 5 workers for tilling, another 10 workers for planting, and another 10 for harvesting, the employer must file 3 different petitions. This bill streamlines this process by allowing the employer to file one petition for all such workers.
3. Streamlined Recruiting. Employers would now be required to simply file a job posting on an electronic registry rather than filing newspaper print advertisements.
4. Wage Reform. The bill reforms H-2A wages to better reflect real-world wages, while protecting against sudden wage increases that disrupt employer planning and operations:
- More Granular Wages. Rather than one wage determination for all agricultural labor, the bill disaggregates the wages for various agricultural occupations (e.g., crop workers, livestock workers, machine operators, graders, and sorters, etc). This will ensure that wage requirements better reflect the real-world wages paid to specific types of workers.
- Limiting Wage Fluctuations. To prevent large fluctuations in wage rates, the bill caps wage increases and decreases, thus providing more stability and predictability to employers. Wages would be governed as follows:
- -) 2020: One-year wage freeze—wages will not increase in 2020.
- -) 2021-2029: Wages could not decrease by more than 1.5% or increase by more than 3.25%. Exception: If the resulting wage is less than 110% of the Federal or state minimum wage, then the wage could go up by 4.25%.
- -) 2030 and Beyond: Wages could not decrease by more than 1.5% or increase by more than 3.25%, and the Secretaries of Ag and Labor will determine a new wage structure through rule making.
- Limiting Mid-Contract Wage Increases. Wage requirements would now apply for the duration of the contract, rather than potentially fluctuating mid-contract.
5. Reducing Housing Costs. The bill improves the availability of farmworker housing while lowering employer costs related to providing such housing.
- Preserving Existing Housing. The bill adopts a Rep. Clay bill, which was recently reported unanimously out of Financial Services, to prevent current farmworkers and rural housing stock from serving other constituencies. Among other things, the bill authorizes $1 billion to rehabilitate housing that is aging out of the USDA incentive program, thus reopening eligibility for rental assistance and preserving housing stock for farmworkers.
- Incentivizing New Housing. The bill triples the amount of funding for the USDA 514 loan program and 516 grant programs, which provides 1% loans and grants, respectively, for constructing new housing. The bill would also reform eligibility criteria to expand the use of those programs in more expensive housing markets.
- Lowering Housing Costs. The bill reduces grower costs related to housing by increasing funding for the USDA 521 rental assistance grant program, while also reforming eligibility criteria to expand the use of the program in more expensive housing markets.
6. Reducing the Need for Litigation. The bill requires mediation to resolve differences before lawsuits are instigated.
7. Filling Year-Round Labor Needs. The bill takes a two-pronged approach to meet year-round labor needs.
- Increased Access to Green Cards. The bill dedicates an additional 40,000 green cards per year for agricultural workers. These visas can be used by employers to sponsor workers to fill unmet permanent agricultural labor needs. The bill also creates an option for H-2A workers to apply directly after completing 10 years of H-2A work in the United States. These 40,000 green cards will go a long way to meeting year-round labor needs and agriculture gets the first right of refusal.
- Temporary 3-Year Visas. In addition, the bill creates a new, capped program for employers seeking to bring in temporary workers to fill year-round needs. The bill provides up to 20,000 H-2A visas per year (for 3 years) for dairy and other year-round agricultural employers and providing for emergency authority to add more visas if there is a significant labor shortage. The year-round H-2A cap will be able to increase or decrease up to 12.5% annually thereafter based on labor metrics. The bill also authorizes the Secretary of Labor and Secretary of Agriculture to determine whether to establish a numerical cap after 10 years.
Title III. Mandatory E-Verify for the Agricultural Sector
• This title would establish a mandatory, nationwide E-Verify system modeled off of the Lamar Smith/Ken Calvert E-Verify bills for all agricultural employment, serving as the last necessary piece to ensure a legal workforce for the sector.
• The bill would improve E-Verify for the whole country, but the system would be made mandatory only for the agricultural sector, with a structured phase-in and guaranteed due process for authorized workers who are incorrectly rejected by the system.

Noting that California farmers and ranchers have long sought reforms and improvements to immigration laws that would enhance the lives of agricultural employees and their families, the California Farm Bureau Federation supports this bipartisan bill introduced on October 30th.
The Farm Workforce Modernization Act of 2019, introduced by Reps. Zoe Lofgren, D-San Jose, and Dan Newhouse, R-Wash., would improve agricultural visa programs and accommodate immigrant agricultural employees already in the United States, while assuring border security.
"This comprehensive legislation contains key elements that address current and future workforce needs for agricultural employers and employees in California and throughout the nation," CFBF President Jamie Johansson said. "The reforms in the Farm Workforce Modernization Act of 2019 will provide much-needed solutions for agricultural employers and employees."
The act would allow immigrant agricultural employees in the United States to earn legal status through continued agricultural employment.
"We need to deal fairly with the existing agricultural workforce and their immediate families," Johansson said. "The people who work on farms and ranches are valued members of rural communities. Their contributions to our communities and our food system should be recognized by allowing them a chance to gain legal status."
The bill would also modernize and streamline the existing H-2A agricultural visa program, to provide more flexibility for employers and ensure critical protections for foreign employees.
"Improvements to the H-2A program would make it much more flexible and valuable to California farm employers and employees," Johansson said. "For example, a pilot program in the bill would allow H-2A employees to move from farm to farm for employment, a portability option California producers have long sought. And, for the first time, the bill would accommodate guestworker visas for year-round operations such as dairies and nurseries."

SHOCK VIDEO: Elderly Woman Attacked At 'Block Boyz' Pool Party in Florida, Thrown Into Pool With Her DogsChris Menahan

San Francisco Board Passes 'CAREN Act' to Punish 'Entitled White Women' Who Call 911 On Non-Whites
An elderly white woman was slammed to the ground and then thrown into a pool along with her dogs on Saturday after she politely asked a mob of party-goers in South Florida to lower their music.
The Broward Sheriff's Office identified the victim as 68-year-old Nancy James of North Lauderdale.
The shocking video shows an unruly mob chanting for James to be thrown into the pool, at which point a young man is seen picking her up and slamming her to the ground. He then proceeds to throw her into a pool to cheers.
Officers said in their report that James "was frightened and upset and sustained injuries to her leg and shoulder as a result of the incident."
A secondary angle of the assault was posted to Twitter on Sunday:
The assailant turned himself in on Monday after being outed by /pol/. He's been identified as 16-year-old Joseph Leon Balfour of Margate.
It's being claimed his father is a convicted murderer.
Here's a flyer for the event which was shared on social media:
Here's another shot of the block party:
While some are trying to justify the attack saying the man "slipped," he never should have laid his hands on her in the first place. The fact is after slamming her to the ground incredibly violently, the thug then chose to pick her up and throw her into a pool. This elderly woman could have easily been killed.
While the media is currently trying to act like this never happened, imagine for a moment the outrage if an elderly black woman went to a frat boy pool party and asked them to turn down the music, then a white frat boy picked her up, slammed her to the ground to the cheers of his frat boy buddies, and then threw her in a pool leaving her for dead.
That would get 24/7 coverage and be characterized as a hate crime and an indictment on all white people. Instead, as the races are reversed, it's being completely ignored.
[This post was updated May 09, 2017 after the suspect was arrested and new details were released by the police.]

Kenney Machinery Creates New Award in Honor of Longtime Sales…
"Merle Yockey represents excellence in this industry. We should all strive to follow in his footsteps and be like him." –Mike Kenney
Indianapolis, IN (PRWEB)
December 04, 2017
In order to recognize employees who go above and beyond the call of duty and make a significant impact in both the company and the turf equipment industry in the region, Kenney Machinery has created the Merle Yockey Award, named in honor of a longtime sales representative with the company. Merle also became the first recipient of the award at the company's annual meeting on November 17th.
The award will be given to employees of Kenney Machinery who have been with the company at least ten years, consistently achieve their goals while persevering in the face of adversity, and are well-respected by customers, co-workers, and vendors alike. Additionally, all recipients of the Merle Yockey Award must be a previous recipient of the annual Tigger Award, which is given to company employees who demonstrate a high level of energy and enthusiasm.
During a ceremony at the annual company-wide meeting, CEO Mike Kenney spoke about the award's namesake and first recipient. "Merle Yockey represents excellence in this industry", Mike said. "Everyone in this room should strive to follow in his footsteps and be like him. We are so fortunate to have him. There's no one better in the industry."
Merle's accomplishments during his nearly four decades of work in the turf equipment industry are evidenced by previous awards he has received, which include the Toro Rookie of the Year award (the oldest winner of that award), the Toro Territory Manager's Blazer award, the Toro Master Salesmen award (a two-time recipient), and Toro's first Andrey Rovdner of Excellence award. A veteran of the Korean War, Merle was raised on a dairy farm in Plymouth, Indiana and worked at a farm co-op and farm equipment dealership before coming to work for Kenney Machinery.
"It's truly an honor to not only receive this award, but also have it named after me", Merle said after being presented with the award. "I hope it inspires future Kenney Machinery employees to be the best version of themselves that they can possibly be."
In addition to being recognized on the Merle Yockey Award Plaque displayed at the company headquarters, Merle (as well as future recipients of the award) will get a $1,000 check and three additional days of paid leave during the following year.
Unlike the Kenney Machinery Tigger Award, the Merle Yockey Award will not necessarily be presented annually—it will only be awarded when there is a truly deserving employee. However, given Kenney Machinery's track record of inspiring their employees to make a positive impact in the turf industry and the community at large, the next winner will probably not be long in coming.
About Kenney Machinery Corporation
Kenney Machinery Corporation is a turf equipment distributor providing sales and service throughout Indiana and Kentucky. Founded before the turn of the 20th century, the company has been a Toro distributor for over 70 years and has previously been recognized by Toro as the #1 turf equipment distributor in the country.

Nestled in the Henderson Industrial Park, which houses a number of big and small names alike, are the offices of Rim Polymers Industries.
The home-grown firm may not be a household name, but it is in fact a top global polyurethane solutions specialist. It designs and builds polyurethane machines as well as entire plants for firms to create custom products, usually used for automotive interior parts such as steering wheels, and also refrigerators, freezers and cold room panels.
The firm has been developing its own polyurethane machinery since 2000, and over the years has firmly established itself in the Asia-Pacific. A few years ago, it decided to plant its footprints further afield.
Transformation. Innovation. Entering new markets. This eight-part series showcases Singapore companies that have embraced change and gone global to capture sustainable growth.
So in 2012, the firm started active discussions with IE Singapore about their expansion plans beyond Asia, which is one of the three global polyurethane markets. The others are the United States and Europe.
Executive vice-president Oei Han Tjing said: "They invited us on mission trips, and we spent time collecting information together. After one year, we came together to brainstorm and come up with a masterplan."
From these brainstorm sessions, Rim Polymers identified the Americas as the next market to grow in, and developed a five-year globalisation map after market studies.
"Our competitors are from Germany, so to fight in Europe is quite tough. Since Europe was also in bad shape, so we decided it wasn't our priority. The Americas are virgin grounds for us but also for our competitors, so we should stand a better chance."
With IE's support in 2013, the firm started to market and release its products and services in that region. "We successfully sold 10 polyurethane plants in the US. It's good that we have a comparative advantage," Mr Oei said.
These include plants for making components for major companies in the automotive industry, and industrial freezers for instance.
Having a strong foundation in a new market gave Rim Polymers - which has 25 people in Singapore and more than 50 in other countries that include China and South Korea - the confidence to enter Mexico and Brazil last year.
Mr Oei said: "Business in Mexico is not bad, and we are entering it to explore the market. A lot of American companies are shifting their car or partial production plants there because of lower costs and special export rights."
He notes that although Brazil's economy has been less than conducive, the firm set up a representative office there and has already found distribution partners.
"Although times are bad, it's about cultivating the market. In bad times, people tend to have more time to listen to you."
Mr Oei is optimistic about Rim Polymers' growth in Brazil, as he expects the market to recover some time next year, "and we should stand a better chance in the market".
"This is part of our plan, to move into phase two with IE. Their office in Sao Paulo and Mexico has supported us a lot, and the New York office has also given us a lot of help in the US."
Besides the automotive industry, Rim Polymers' other focus is the cold chain industry, which refers to a cold storage network - which includes refrigerated trucks and fridge cabinets for supermarkets - that is crucial in keeping things such as vaccines or food at certain low temperatures.
The firm has identified the US as a promising market, and is planning to enter the market with its patented pre-mix unit of cyclopentane plants and equipment. Cyclopentane is an ozone-friendly blowing agent which is used when creating insulation foam in fridges.
Mr Oei said the US has resisted using the highly explosive agent for decades, but in recent years has changed its tune. "I stand a better chance than my German competitors because my equipment is relatively cheaper, as it is made in Asia."
The plan to globalise also includes increasing its revenue by 2020. Mr Oei said: "The group has an annual turnover of $25 million, and we plan to at least double that in the next four years."

In Book One, Jessa Meadows is an average girl, living the average life...of a wolf shifter. Following traditions is expected, and something she can't bring herself to do. Her first heat slams her into a hormonal, irrational PMS hell that she fights with all of her might. She refuses to give her virginity to the first mutt that comes along, however wrong or unheard of it is in the shifter society. Jessa wants her first time to be special with the man she is fated to spend the rest of her life with. The idea of falling on her back for the first horn dog that comes along makes her stomach turn.
The wolves come in herds, giving every corny and rude pickup line invented. Fighting off the suitors and her agitated wolf proves to be more complicated than she had originally anticipated, until illness sets in and leaves her at her horny mutt's mercy.
Logan Runningwolf has grown up with Jessa since birth. When every man within sniffing distance overeagerly offers their services in every humorous and pathetic way possible, he moves in to chase them off and claim the girl who has held his heart since childhood. When a single kiss awakens destiny, he vows to protect and claim his mate.
Damion Shaddow is a highly trained warrior and Beta of the wolf clan. At the age of 29, he is a brick wall of pure muscle power and dominance.

- Q. My husband and I are filing for a dissolution and I was wondering how much say the court has on the terms already made
- A: The Courts usually defer to the parties as long as there as been full disclosure and the agreement appears fair on its face. The Court, however, will not approve agreements that contain provisions that are contrary to law. If both side are represented by an attorney, the Court will generally presume that the parties have received advice about the terms of the agreement and will approve the agreement even if it different than what the Court would likely have ordered. If one side is not represented and the agreement appears grossly unfair, the Court will generally direct the unrepresented party to seek legal counsel. Please remember that in a dissolution the attorney, not matter how congenial, is representing only one party.
- Q. My wife is trying to take everything from me with this divorce. I make good money. Can she take all of it?
- A: It would be rare for any one side to get all of the property. Generally the Court divide all marital property (and debts) equally. Only in cases involving extreme economic misconduct by one side would the Court even consider such an outcome. In most case, however, the marital property is equally divided. Some issues that may arise is whether the property or debt is marital or separate. Issues of spousal support are more complicated and depend upon the length of marriage, the disparity in income between the parties and whether there is need for further education for one spouse. Income can be imputed to a spouse that voluntarily chooses to be underemployed. Once again, the are complex issues and and the disposition of each case depends on the particular facts of the case. That is why it is important not to rely upon the "advice" of friends who think all divorces are similar to their own and you should consult and experienced attorney.
- Q. In a Divorce if one spouse inherits money does the other Spouse have rights To any of it
- A: You should check with an Arkansas attorney, but in most states inherited assets are considered separate property as long as the property is not commingled with marital funds. Income, however, from such funds may be considered in determining spousal support in many states.

Retooling Nigeria's youth service corps to drive national transformation
Policy Recommendation
- Without diluting the focus on national integration, new directions should be sought for the NYSC to prepare corps members for entrepreneurship and future leadership. Better alignment of skills and learning under the scheme to national priorities is germane.
- NYSC should work more deliberately to encourage entrepreneurship and job creation through the scheme. Entrepreneurial training should be mainstreamed into all NYSC activities in partnership with the private sector and relevant state agencies such as the National Orientation Agency (NOA), the National Planning Commission (NPC), the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Nigeria Tourism Development Cooperation (NTDC).
- In collaboration with the NYSC, host organisations, agencies and communities should also be compelled to develop work plans which clearly spell out the goals for corps members to ensure that learning potentials are maximized.
- Government, private institutions and other relevant stakeholders must closely engage to define optimal criteria and strategies for deployment of corps members into various sectors of national life. A key priority should be the insulation of deployment from rigging and influence.
Nigeria is among the one hundred and six or so countries with no enforced conscription into its military. However, it has a mandatory civilian service for its fresh graduates who are less than 30 years of age as at the time of graduation and have not served or are actively serving in any state run security organisation. Several countries have the variants of the mandatory national service, with the objectives depending on the national context and needs. Nigeria, Kenya and Ghana are prominent African countries with established national youth service schemes. Several other western nations also have the compulsory civilian service.
Typically, the mandatory civilian schemes focus on improving internal security, nation-building and disaster response as in the case of Kenya. Newly qualified graduates in Ghana and Nigeria are given the opportunity to have practical exposure on the job, both in the public and private sectors, as part of their civic responsibility to the state. This provides host organisations the opportunity to satisfy their manpower needs. Likewise, it affords communities that would otherwise have difficulty in accessing mainstream development initiatives a chance to access improved social services through youth service to the community.
The Nigeria experience
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) was established in Nigeria as a child of necessity after the Nigerian civil war. The purpose is to inculcate in Nigerian youths the spirit of selfless service to community, and to emphasize the oneness and brotherhood of all Nigerians, irrespective of cultural or social background.
Following Nigeria's civil war (1967-1970), the country faced numerous problems including poverty, mass-illiteracy, inadequate socio-economic infrastructures, bad roads, poor healthcare services and an ineffective communication system. With a view to mitigate these challenges, particularly to foster national unity and integration and build a strong, self-reliant nation with a dynamic economy, the military government of Gen. Yakubu Gowon established the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) by the Decree No. 24 of 22nd May 1973.
The NYSC mission was mandated to produce future leaders with positive national ethos – leadership that is vibrant, proud and committed to the unity and balanced development of the Nigerian state. In 1993, the NYSC Decree No. 51 of 16th June set fifteen specific objectives for the scheme, summed up as the drive for national unity, even development and integration. With this commendable vision, the scheme has helped in shaping the nation and building more responsible and responsive citizens.
It was estimated that from its humble beginning of about 2,000 corps members in 1973, it grew to an annual figure of 85,000 corps members in 1999. In 2016, it accommodated 260,000 corps members owing to the economic recession. In 2017, it mobilised 297,293 corps members nationwide paying out N67.3billion in allowances. This was apart from the N2.5billion spent on providing kits for the 297,293 corps members and N3.3 billion spent on meals for the 21 days orientation camp for the corps members and about 74,000 camp officials.
Reflecting the importance attached to this scheme, the NYSC act stipulates that a Nigerian graduate who is not officially exempted from being part of the scheme, and does not undertake the mandatory service, is not employable and cannot seek political office in the country. Recently, Nigeria's former minister of finance had to resign from her position because of her alleged forgery of the NYSC exemption certificate.
Interestingly, the episode made clear that many citizen are not sufficiently informed about the NYSC scheme, including that citizens graduating before reaching 35 years of age cannot be exempted. This is regardless of where they might have undertaken their studies. It further underscores the need for the scheme to do more in ensuring that relevant information about its activities and stipulations are properly disseminated to the public.
Current situation and downsides
According to news report in 2018, the NYSC increased the number of corps members mobilized by 53,000 graduates. This brought the total number for the 2018 cycle to about 350,000. About N83.2 billion was earmarked as allowances for corps members. Each corps member received the sum of N3,200 during the three-week orientation camp and N19,800 in monthly allowance for the service year. About N11.7 billion will be spent on kits, transport allowances and feeding for the corps members.
With the amount of resources invested in the NYSC, it is important that it delivers maximum benefits to the country. However, the NYSC like many public institutions in Nigeria has not been insulated from the ills of society. It has degenerated in terms of management, though its core values of community service, friendship, cultural and language absorption, and national unity remains. Some even argue that the scheme is a conduit for massive corruption, while others see it as government providing cheap labour for the economy.
The issues undermining the 45 years old NYSC scheme almost eclipse its achievements. Viewed through this prism, it seems in its present form to have outlived its relevance. The scheme grapples with the untoward rigging of posting for primary assignment. Many participants induce NYSC officials with money to secure posting to major cities like Lagos, Port Harcourt and Abuja. This to a large extent erodes one of the major objective of the scheme, which is to allow corps members to have experience of Nigerian languages and cultures outside their own areas of origin. This is partly a fallout of the poor remuneration provided to corps members and the consequent desperation for "juicy" postings.
There is also the growing concern over the security of corps members especially in volatile regions. Some youth involved in the program have been caught up in religious, ethnic or political violence in the regions where they were sent. Lastly, there is widespread lack of transparency, which deprives the public of the necessary awareness of NYSC activities.
Retooling for purpose
Whilst perhaps extreme to call for the scrapping of the NYSC scheme, a thorough reassessment has become necessary with a view to reposition and make it more relevant to Nigeria's prevailing circumstances. Perhaps too much emphasis is being placed on national integration, an objective that has seen limited success. The new direction is to prepare corps members for future leadership and align their orientation and skills to national priorities. In other countries with similar schemes, there is strong collaboration with the host organisations and benefitting communities which Nigeria should emulate.
There should be comprehensive engagement to ensure that the organisations and communities, especially those in rural areas, derive maximum benefits from the expertise of young professionals who are deployed annually by the scheme.
In the face of prevailing challenges including the insecurity of life, properties and food shortage in parts of the country, perhaps it might even be optimal to have a two-year national service. One of those years could be devoted to para-military training. This would ensure that the nation has a pool of trained reservists to supplement existing capacities for emergency response. The military would have to be reorganized to oversee this.
The second year would focus on mainstreaming the corps members into specialized skills in science, technology, education, health, communications and leadership etc. During this period some could be matched to job vacancies whilst others could be encouraged to start-up businesses as individuals or in groups.
The scheme should be restructured to offer a seamless transition from the world of organized learning to the world of work. It should become the major conveyor belt through which all educated young Nigerians are given the opportunity to first encounter and appreciate formal work while offering them an opportunity for national service. It should offer scheme participants clearer guidance to enable them reflect intelligently on their career options.
To this end, the scheme needs urgently to augment its talent pool by bringing in more youth, including young artisans who have acquired vocational skills in the technical, agriculture, fashion, hospitality and entertainment fields. This will help mobilize a greater pool of skills that can be effectively deployed across the country for balanced development.
In reflection of national challenges, the NYSC should move closer to a problem-solving orientation by mobilising the youth to tackle practical challenges head-on. These include the need to reduce youth unemployment and expand the functional public infrastructure stock. The NYSC can do this by engaging relevant organs of state, private institutions and civil society in devising joint strategies to optimise the NYSC scheme and enhance its contribution to national development beyond its present focal sectors.
This will aid better cross-sectorial synergy for development and job creation to benefit the youths. State agencies that can support in this joint revamping of the NYSC scheme include the National Orientation Agency (NOA), the National Planning Commission (NPC), the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Nigeria Tourism Development Cooperation (NTDC). The governing board of the NYSC may also need to be altered to reflect a more entrepreneurial emphasis.
Furthermore, emphasising leadership and entrepreneurial skills through the scheme will directly contribute to the upscaling of existing capacities for grassroots development. NYSC members can and should become more directly involved in the maintenance and construction of public infrastructure especially in the rural areas.
When incentives are provided for corps members to enter into new entrepreneurial fields such as solar power installations and maintenance, this will significantly expand access to power and help kick-start processing and value-addition in the grassroots economy. More joined-up thinking among stakeholders will also help to ensure smoother deployment of NYSC personnel into the vital sectors such as agriculture, food security, health, education, physical planning, civil engineering, water, sanitation and other areas relevant for Nigeria's socio-economic transformation.

The business owners behind the AECSALH are far from happy with the Almuñécar Mayor's move to award a mega-cleaning contract elsewhere.
The AECSALH (Asociación de Empresas de Construcción y Servicios Asociados de Almuñécar y La Herradura), as it's name suggests is a conglomerate of local businesses that provide street and beach cleaning services, as well as construction work, and has enjoyed the municipal contracts for some time past.
However, now the Mayor intends to hand a huge contract covering a period of the next ten years to an outside large company, worth 50,000,000 euros. This contract includes, rubbish collection (domestic and garden), urban and beach cleaning, street repairs and cutting back vegetation along country lanes.
Consequently, the association called upon the Mayor not to make any hasty decisions during the Plenary Meeting of the Town Council on Monday the 11th. (Note: this article was written prior to the meeting.)
Editorial comment: in order to clarify the problem it should be explained that all these individual tasks were covered under individual contracts, small enough for local companies to opt for them. However, if there is to be just one contract to cover all the tasks, no local company can handle it. The AECSALH is only an association and not a business entity.
