"Despite Haun's experience with the crooks and scammers in the bitcoin world, she emerged as a vocal supporter of cryptocurrencies. Her time in government also made her a sought-after interpreter of regulatory trends affecting the crypto world. After leaving the Justice Department last May, she now teaches a class on cryptocurrency at Stanford's business school, with economist Susan Athey, and sits on the board of Coinbase, one of the biggest crypto exchanges."Whilst it seems like a conflict of interest, it does make sense for somebody to be involved in cryptocurrencies at such a deep level to become an advocate of the technology. Through her intricate investigations, Haun has become attuned to the benefits of cryptocurrencies and this stands as one of the most important voices to listen to when it comes to matters concerning the safety of users and the integrity of the industry. You can read the full interview transcript here- https://qz.com/1236501/the-woman-who-once-policed-the-crypto-world-for-the-us-government-says-a-crackdown-is-coming/ What I want to do however is analyse Haun's response to the following question: What's your gut feeling at the moment on the future of crypto regulation? (See the full response on the article, it's about a third of the way down the page). Haun, rightly points out that there should be a separation between ICO's and cryptocurrencies, this is because Haun believes that authorities are going to really clamp down on this, Haun says:
"People in the ICO space are just focused on the Securities Exchange Commission [SEC], but all along I've said more agencies than just the SEC are going to be involved in bringing actions against ICOs. I mean Treasury, Commodity Futures Trading Commission [CFTC], Justice Department, possibly the Federal Trade Commission and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and not to mention state attorneys general, or state regulators. And this is just in the US."Haun seems to be teetering on the idea that regulation will hit cryptocurrency markets but that generally, the authorities are wanting to clamp down on ICO's, this is because of the money raising potential ICO's pose. Many, are get rich quick schemes and as we know host fraudulent potentials. What approach does Haun expect authorities to take?
"I think a regulatory hotspot is ICOs. I think that's where we're going to see the regulatory action. Factors that the government will typically, but not exclusively look to: They would look to size; how much money was raised? Whether there was any product already built; did investors lose money? And atmospherics: We've seen a lot of investigative reporting. Regulators also read the news."I would recommend reading the whole interview, it provides some great insight into Haun's story and Haun's future expectations. She does speak with great authority and I do believe that yes authorities will start to clamp down on ICO's, if Haun thinks this is the way forward for authorities, then I'd say she stands in a very good position to make these predictions. Of course, the impact that pressure on ICO's may have on the rest of the crypto-sphere means that maybe, some legitimate start-ups may struggle to raise funds, but, providing the authorities investigations are thorough and everyone follows the rules, if this indeed is the case, clamping down on rogue ICO's will only have a good impact on the cryptocurrency industry. Quartz have done us a huge service with this interview, its enlightening, interesting and provides a promising outlook for the future of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technologies.

Campbell- Rich, Frances Jean (Francean)
Passed away peacefully at the Hamilton General Hospital on March 31, 2019 in her 99th year. Francean was born in Toronto, Ontario on June 24, 1920. She was the daughter of Austin and Alicia Campbell, sister to Macia (deceased) and Bob, currently of British Columbia. She is survived by many cousins, including Becky and Steven, as well as nieces Suzanne and Jeanine (Campbell), and nephew Mark Friedman. Francean achieved a Mus. Bach. from the University of Toronto, an A.T.C.M. from the Royal Conservatory of Music in Toronto, and went on to earn and M.A. in Music at Mills College, San Francisco CA. She went to work as a music critic for The Vancouver Province, and travelled world-wide by sea, recipient of the first Canada Council Grant to do so; filing articles and reviews with The Toronto Star, Montreal Gazette, and various other Canadian newspapers as she travelled. After a year in France, Francean repatriated in the mid 1950's. She married psychiatrist Dr. John Rich (deceased 1980) and with him, broadened her many interests to include: long-distance sailing, breeding Irish Wolfhounds, and building a country home. After John's death, Francean returned to school to study television writing, production, and broadcasting, continuing her career as a journalist, including publishing many articles through the Niagara Anglican Diocese. Eventually she settled in Hamilton, Ontario discovering a diverse community of friends and neighbours, all of whom will miss her presence and her stories. As per her wishes, cremation has taken place and memorial service will be held at CHRIST CHURCH CATHEDRAL (252 James Street North, Hamilton) on Saturday April 6th at 11:00a.m., with visitation, one hour prior. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Cathedral Fund would be greatly appreciated.

Congratulations…. you're pregnant! What joy these words unfold, only the expectant parents can tell. But coming to terms with it may be a bit difficult for the soon-to-become daddy. The initial signs are that the father may tend to withdraw himself from you firstly grappling with the excitement in the air then all the attention focused on you by others and finally the physical changes brought on by pregnancy which leave him alternately horrified and fascinated.
As you start to focus inward to your unborn baby your other baby may start anticipating that you'll be giving him a cold shoulder for the rest of the time. Now you're in a fix. You're already on a round-the-clock alert to the changes occurring in your body. Handling the pregnancy really well is no easy a task. Already many questions are flooding your mind, whether you'd carry the baby to full term? Whether the child will be healthy or not? Will you be able to survive the labor marathon?
You don't know exactly what to do when you're handling two babies at a time, the unborn child and the father. Out of the two, the father may be hard to handle. Leave the poor soul alone. Give him space to understand and experience pregnancy in his own unique way.
There are legitimate reasons why these older babies are hard to handle during pregnancy:
You and your partner's experiences are different. You might feel your partner is too detached from your pregnancy and is not as involved as you are. Understand that since your body is undergoing changes you are also experiencing rousing and overwhelming emotions. Your partner's half job was to supply the sperm. He's no longer a part of the pregnancy now except that he supports you through the term. Since he feels more left out now, try getting him involved talking things. Surprise him with a picnic or leave him a sexy note in the drawer. Dress up sexy till the baby in your belly starts to become more visible. The bulge does not start to show until after the sixth month.
Your partner worries even if he doesn't tell you. Know what worries him? How to be a father figure! He has no clue especially when the baby is the very first. They may feel apprehensive about it. He wants to be a good father and needs your reassurance. You may feel that it takes more energy than you have to focus on both your partner and your baby. But you need to kick start your life as a family some day, so it's good that you start training already. Your partner may be worried about expected pressures on him as a breadwinner. Reassure him that both of you would solve the problems together.
Your partner needs time to bond with the baby. He can touch your belly and talk and sing to the baby. Usually partners keep a good track knowing which week of pregnancy you're in. This way they know exactly what week the baby starts to show signs of movement. He can experience the first kicks in random places too.
Once you focus your love and attention on each other you can focus it on your baby too. Plan a "home date" this week and see the difference.

**** (Masterpiece)
Stan Brakhage has been making films for more than 40 years. By now he's made hundreds, ranging in length from a few seconds to four hours. He makes them very cheaply--because he photographs them himself, generally working without cast or crew, the main costs are film and lab bills. His subjects have ranged from his family and friends to cities he's visited to "abstract" shapes made by filming out of focus or by painting directly on the film.
Brakhage's great achievement has been to use the film image to represent his inner vision. Most mainstream cinema--features and documentaries--represents scenes in a "realistic" manner we can all agree on, relying on a kind of collective seeing. Objects and characters seem to be placed in such a way that their relationships can be measured with a ruler. Brakhage, by contrast, may move from a brief frontal and in-focus shot of a room to the same room filmed with rapid camera movement, or to fragmentary views of its parts cut rapidly together. Or he may cut to some completely different and apparently unrelated scene.
For Brakhage, alternative ways of seeing--the visions one has in dreams or daydreams or awake but with eyes closed--offer forms of reality as legitimate as those of collective seeing. He has argued that his films are not abstract but that they're documentaries of things he has seen and that anyone else might see. One of his goals has been to find, for himself and the viewer, alternatives to the aesthetic givens of our culture, from the measured rectilinear space of Renaissance perspective to the hypnotic image glut of television--he seeks instead a private inner garden in which the imagination is given free rein and each instant, each beam of light, is as sacred as any other.
Through the years viewers accustomed mainly to mass media have complained of headaches from Brakhage's rapid cutting and camera movement, or boredom from his barely recognizable shapes, or irritation at his films' lack of musical accompaniment (which allows the viewer to give full attention to the often musical rhythms of his imagery). Ironically, then, the one new film on the program showing Saturday at Chicago Filmmakers that gave me some difficulty was Boulder Blues and Pearls and . . . (1992), with original music by Rick Corrigan. Brakhage avoids synchronizing the film and music, which would have made too simple a connection and reduced the mystery of his imagery; instead the music occupies a separate space. Sound and image seem meant to coexist as equals, but though the sound is interesting it isn't nearly as strong as the imagery: delicately beautiful fragments of a town and snow and water. I often found myself wondering what this film would be like silent.
For Marilyn (1992) gave me no such difficulty, though it too contains an element that is in a sense not imagery--Brakhage has scratched a number of words directly on the film, over solid black and over images. It begins with a brief shot of a window in whose panes are reflected the rectangles of additional light-filled windows in the background. The words "I am here / where is she / the mother church" appear, but by the time "mother church" appears, dense multicolored painting over the film obscures the image.
Painting directly on film virtually guarantees that the viewer will see rapidly changing forms: each frame is projected very briefly--there are 24 per second--and there's no way to position paint in exactly the same place on each tiny 16-millimeter frame. But the resulting flood of rapid, flickering colors perfectly suits Brakhage's aims--to replicate closed-eye vision, and more generally to create an energized, musical way of seeing. In For Marilyn, the juxtaposition of large, paned windows with the words "mother church" inescapably suggests that the richly colored paint is a vision of stained glass. Like stained glass, the paint splotches are translucent: the viewer can see the projector light passing through them. But unlike stained-glass windows there's no picture, no representational design: this is stained glass for the 20th-century brain, constantly alive, constantly evoking the viewer's associations. The religious connection is made more explicit by the word "savior" followed by "of all of me" and by images of church towers.
For Marilyn is in four sections, each "numbered" by vertical scratches on black film, and the second section gives a different possible meaning to the paint. Early on there's a pan across the sky, and though the sun is just out of frame its beams are part of the image; a similar shot appears at the section's end. Also near the end is a shot of a window with a line of trees clearly reflected in it. Most of the rest of the second section consists of dense paint-on-film, but juxtaposed with these images the rapid flood of painted colors could also constitute a visionary view of nature. "Abstract" seeing, the music of color, is available to any viewer, anywhere. Brakhage's filmmaking might be taken as a call to imaginative seeing of every thing, however banal--evidence of a wish that no viewer accept the visible world as a given but rather remake it in the mind's eye.
The direction of that remaking is of course up to each individual; Brakhage himself has varied his approach from film to film. Many of his early works were dominated by only a few moods or emotions. Soon he was making films--such as Dog Star Man, one of his best known--that combined images of himself and his family with images of suns and forests and cells, raising the personal to the level of metaphor and myth. Later Brakhage continued to try to expand the boundaries of the self--moving, for example, from abstract films replicating patterns he's seen to films that try to produce things no one has yet seen. Specific metaphors and specific emotions have been largely replaced by descriptions of the processes of thinking and remembering. Despite its specific thoughts and individual metaphors, For Marilyn is also an example of this later trend.
Many of Brakhage's early films seem assertions of the artist's transcendent self. When he filmed his dead dog in the woods in Sirius Remembered, he moved the camera about in a way that allowed his meditation on the dog to dominate the seen world, the forest itself. When he painted on film in Dog Star Man, each section of paint seemed to have a particular texture and color that related to the underlying photo imagery. The paint in For Marilyn has no such simple relationship to the imagery, however: instead each moment seems to explode out of the previous one, disrupting the earlier design, which is superseded by new shapes and colors. Rather than seeming like an expression of a unified consciousness, as in many of Brakhage's earlier films, the paint seems a sign of a profoundly decentered self, one that's leaping out of its own being instant by instant. Many of the scratched titles suggest a similar decentering: "where / she was / he was." In the film's fourth section, we see the scratched words "the/THEE," which suggests a relationship between all things nameable by "the" and a beloved, whether God or Marilyn (the name of Brakhage's wife): indeed, the expansive image sequences might well be taken as an expression of the expansiveness many feel in love.
The film ends with the words "Praise be to God," followed by a section of paint unlike any seen before: the splotches are smaller and more numerous, the rhythm is more intense, and there's more white light, from areas with no paint. Whatever one feels about the word "God"--I have difficulty reconciling its association with charity and love and the times it's been used to justify mass murder--it seems clear that the ending is a Brakhage view of the infinite: each fragment of paint is surrounded by the pure light that contains all colors and makes all things visible.
Delicacies of Molten Horror Synapse (1991) is one of a number of Brakhage films that deal directly with our mass culture, in this case television imagery. Close-ups of a TV screen, with the horizontal lines vastly enlarged, are interspersed with, and sometimes covered over by, dense painting-on-film. At first the relationship between the paint and the TV imagery seems similar to the relationship between the paint and the windows or the paint and nature in For Marilyn: Brakhage is seeking his own freer, more imaginative version of "received" images. His idea seems to be to replace the boring, repetitive TV scan lines with endlessly changing and flowing organic paint. But gradually the geometry of the scan lines seems to assert itself, and by the film's middle we see in rapid succession several sections of exceptionally complex painted patterns with perfect left-right symmetry; at the center of most of them is a kind of emptiness. It seems the intended effect, as in so much of TV, is to "suck you in." I found these images utterly terrifying: they're like winged Rorschach monsters, with a void at the center exerting a vertiginous gravitational pull. The film seems to say that not only does the predictable shared seeing of our mass culture harbor monsters, but those monsters can lead to death.
Agnus Dei Kinder Synapse (1991) is the shortest and in some ways the most enigmatic film on this program. A few images, most of them out of focus, of a toy train are juxtaposed with images of animals, mostly elephants, often superimposed over themselves or other animals. At the film's end the toy train is revealed to be (or is transformed into) a miniature train (of the type found in theme parks) carrying real people. Brakhage has suggested that the film was inspired by the transformative quality of childhood imagination, and that he sees the juxtaposition of elephant to "real" train as suggestive of children's "ritual magic." Two other possibilities also suggest themselves. Many "wildlife parks" do have trains, so at the end of the film when the train carrying passengers becomes visible, the work seems almost a little "my trip" poem. At the same time the use of out-of-focus, superimposed, and color-negative images helps prevent the animals and train from seeming as tightly linked as they might have been in earlier Brakhage films. The forward movement of the train and the stasis and rough surface of the elephants suggest two separate worlds. But this separateness is appropriate to a filmmaker who is now, in the best sense, less sure of himself: less willing to assert the primacy of his own consciousness over the objects of the world, and more interested in trying to expand the boundaries of that consciousness.
The clearest evidence of this newly decentered self comes in City Streaming (1990), though on this program it is perhaps the best example of his nearly musical forms. He describes it as a "memory piece," made in Toronto, that seeks "not to arrive at snapshots . . . but rather to 'sing' The City as re-membered from daily living." And indeed every camera movement--pans, tilts, rotations, rapid jiggles--transforms the seen world into rhythmically moving colored objects that seem to sing. The film's signature movement is perhaps horizontal--phone or electric wires seen in lateral pan, the view from a moving subway car--but other motions are constantly intercut. Extremely rapid editing--fragmentary views of several rooms cut together, for example--provide still another form of movement. A large map on the apartment wall appears more than once, producing an effect like that of maps in certain Vermeer paintings: the outside world is invoked, but the map never breaks the spell of the image's self-enclosure. In one sense, then, this is a film in the classic Brakhage mode: an inner vision transforms the world into the filmmaker's own personal music.
Yet the film's tone is completely different from most of Brakhage's earlier work. Rather than being attached to certain kinds of movement or composition, Brakhage's camera seems to be trying almost everything. Similarly, the editing doesn't aggressively blend disparate images into a continuous flow but leaves each in its own space and light. Finally, the filmmaker doesn't seem to assert any transcendent meaning. There are Brakhage films in which, for all their complexity and contradictions, one can sense the filmmaker declaring, "This is the true nature of childhood," "This is the real meaning of war," "This is the relationship of man to the planets and the stars."
Here, by contrast, when we see a few shots of Brakhage reflected in a mirror filming himself his image is off-center and small and doesn't have the usual effect of self-images in other movies: the filmmaker is not endowed with any special power. This is not a moment when we see the source of it all; it's just another image. Brakhage's long struggle against cultural givens has also been, in some ways, a struggle against himself: a struggle to escape all that is predictable, static, and limiting in human vision. In City Streaming he's reached a state that I think--and I don't use the word lightly--can be truly called elevated. The parts of a city are seen not as metaphors for emotion or as expressions of a theme but as pure light, color, shape, and movement, which may hold a wealth of meanings but cannot be reduced to any of them. This, then, is a "pure" film, creating moving images that cannot be translated into another medium. It also creates, for the viewer, a way of thinking relatively free of tension, of expectation, of interpretation. City Streaming is still personal, subjective filmmaking--the compositions and rhythms are identifiably Brakhage's--but the filmmaker is less interested in classifying and understanding than in making each thing sing.

|Behavioral: Conventional UK Physical therapy Behavioral: Increased intensity of UK conventional physical therapy Behavioral: UK conventional physical therapy plus functional strength training
|Phase 2
Neuromuscular weakness occurs frequently after stroke and the processes underlying recovery are still poorly understood. Accepted practice in UK physiotherapy is to avoid training of muscle strength after stroke but there is preliminary evidence that it might be effective.
An observer-blind randomised clinical trial. Subjects will be within 3 months of first stroke with some voluntary movement in the paretic lower limb. A power calculation estimated the sample size as 300. Research Physiotherapists, blinded to measurement, will recruit subjects, allocate subjects to one of the three intervention groups using sequentially numbered sealed envelopes containing previously randomised allocated intervention cards and provide interventions. The Research Assessors, blinded to intervention allocation will undertake all measurements. Conventional therapy (control) will be provided as normal for the clinical setting, the additional conventional therapy (experimental 1) or functional strength training (experimental 2) will be provided for one hour, four times a week, for six weeks. Subjects in the two experimental groups will also receive the conventional therapy standard in their clinical setting. Blinded measurement will be made before randomisation, at the end of intervention and 12-weeks thereafter. Primary outcomes are maximum torque around the knee joint, and gait velocity. The secondary outcomes include movement analysis, functional ability, corticospinal transmission (transcranial magnetic stimulation) and health related quality of life (Euroqol). The primary analysis will be analysis of covariance. A multiple comparison procedure (Gabriel's test) will be used to compare each pair of treatments. Euroqol data will be used to estimate the relative costs of the interventions and to calculate the incremental cost per QUALY gained. Every effort will be made to invite patients for assessment at outcome and follow-up even if they have withdrawn from therapy to allow the intention-to-treat principle to be applied.

text: Welcome to ZAPTEST tutorials! In this tutorial we will show you how to create a test that includes API and UI related steps. During this lesson you will learn How to use an iteration as an index for an array element How to create and use a dynamic path for an API response And how to combine API calls and UI steps in one test In the tutorial exercises we will be using demo web services provided by ZAPTEST for educational purposes. The servers address is displayed here We will start by defining a new API server Object; here we will type the name for the server's object, the demo API server's URL; and select the check box to load the WSDL data. Next, we will select the Get Test Accounts API Method and drag it to the script view. From the list of operations, we will select Execute. This method returns an array of test user accounts. To retrieve a username from the server's response we need to provide a path; in addition, we need to use the data table Iteration number as an index in the path. In the script we will make a new variable Element ID and will use the Iteration as the path index. Now we will use the paths string to extract the username value; to define a step for this we will type a name for the variable; drag the method from the API Explorer; select the Get Member Response operation; and use the path variable for its argument. We will add a custom report step to output the username value to the test results. Now, we can save our test and run it. Once the test run is complete, we will open the test results and verify the username value. We will use the username for login to the ZAPTEST website. Next, we will add steps to perform the login. We will start by using the GUI scan to scan a browser window with the ZAPTEST homepage. On this view we will select and keep two objects for the ZAPTEST logo and the Login link. Next, we will scan the login page. On this view we will keep objects required for the username and password entry. We can change names for the edit field objects. Next, we will scan the user zone page; on this view we will select and keep the object for the Welcome message. Once we have all these objects, we will add steps to our test. Using the Data Table tab we will define a new parameter for the browser type For its values we will enter Firefox, Chrome and Internet Explorer This test will run three iterations on different browsers For the next step in our test we will drag the ZAP Application Object and select the Launch Method. For the arguments we will use the browser parameter and type the URL of the ZAPTEST website. Next, we will add steps to validate the home page; click the login link and validate the login page. For the username type step, we will use our username variable; in the password type step, we will include enter keyword to submit the login form. After a login we need to validate a Welcome greeting; which includes a dynamic username. To make its text we need to concatenate two strings; Welcome text and the Username value. We will use the Welcome object and Set Property Method to update its text property value from the variable. In the last step we will use the Welcome Object and the Exist Method to validate it. Our test is ready, we will save and run it after closing any open browser windows. After the test run has finished, we will open the test results and verify that all the steps have a passed status. Also, different test user accounts must be used in different iterations. In this tutorial lesson, you have learned How to use an iteration to extract an array element How to use a dynamic path to parse an API response And how to combine API and UI related steps in the same test Thank you for using ZAPTEST!

When visio pings hosts it pads the icmp packets with: "surpassing power is from God and" essentially sending this message out over and over again. I checked it out apparently it's 2nd corinthians chapter 4 verse 7: "We have this treasure in jars of clay to show that the all-surpassing power is from God and not from us." is Microsoft trying to tell us something?

Bicycling magazine has released its best cities for cycling and guess what?
Memphis ... Not on the list.
Actually, the Bluff city did make one of their lists ... the one of the worst cities for cycling, along with Miami and Dallas.
Here's what they had to say:
"No bike lanes exist within the city limits of Memphis. And the city government, comprised of layers of bureaucracy, has repeatedly ignored or rejected requests from bike clubs, shops and other organizations to create facilities."

Happy Friday everyone!
It's nearing the end of October, which means Halloween! Candy, witches, costumes, and ghosts… While I'm not partial to horror or scary games, there are a few ghosts in video games that have been quite memorable.
Pac-man is a classic arcade game with ghosts attempting to follow and catch the titular character. Clyde is the fourth of the ghosts, the orange one, who didn't follow along with the other ghosts not only in his name but also behavior. Unlike Blinky, Pinky, and Inky, Clyde does his own thing. He doesn't try to catch Pac-man, not really… Rather, he goes and derps off in the corner. It's amusing to me that Clyde was programmed as such.

The Ghost type in the Pokemon franchise was always an interesting one to me. Not my favorite type to stick on my team — that's Rachel's department — but I can definitely appreciate their trickier moves. Lavender Town in the first generation games? Definitely some of the spookiest tunes to send a chill down my spine.
Poe Sisters
In Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time — along with a few other appearances in the Zelda series — the Poe Sisters haunt the Forest Temple. Link must defeat each one in order to unlock the temple's basement and the final boss. I'll admit, the first time I played through the Forest Temple, I was a little spooked from the Poe Sisters, but I definitely enjoy their challenge.
Boos from the Super Mario franchise are adorable! They've always been a staple to the series, even playing a large part in Luigi's Mansion, and it's great to see Boo become his own character in some recent games, like King Boo racing in Mario Kart 8 and competing for stars in Super Mario Party.

Rep. Scalise of Louisiana Signs SAVE Act Discharge Petition
U.S. Farmers Move Business to Mexico in Search of Cheap Labor
Due to the success of recent immigration raids, U.S. farmers are setting up operations in Mexico because they are having a hard time finding cheap labor that cannot be deported.
A recent survey by the Western Growers Associations shows that American companies now farm more than 45,000 acres and employ more than 11,000 people. Agricultural labor economist James Holt said that, "Employers can't find enough legal workers to replace this huge number of illegal workers....Their only option is to go where the workers are."
Harry Reid Pulls Ag Amnesty from Iraq Supplemental
In the face of enormous opposition from both sides of the aisle, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid opted to drop the agricultural amnesty from the Iraq Supplemental Spending Bill.
Reid decided to drop language, submitted by Sens. Dianne Feinstein and Larry Craig, that would have given a path to citizenship for 1.3 million illegal agricultural workers, as well as their families.
Our NumbersUSA Capitol Hill Team learned late Wednesday through both Democratic and Republican sources that Sen. Feinstein (D-Calif.) was preparing to add an agricultural amnesty to the Iraq bill Thursday in the Senate Appropriations Committee.
270 Illegal Workers Jailed After Recent Iowa Raid
Last week, 270 illegal aliens who had been working at the Agriprocessors plant in Postville, Iowa, were convicted of working with false documentation. This is a marked change from previous immigration raids, where illegal workers were simply deported.
Hundreds Arrested in Largest U.S. Immigration Raid
At least 100 immigration agents raided the Agriprocessing plant in Postville, Iowa, at around 10 am (cst) on Monday, May 12. Immigration officials told local authorities that 600-700 arrests were expected at the plant -- a facility that employees around 1,000 individuals.
The ICE raid was executed to look for evidence of suspected identity theft and fraudulent use of Social Security numbers, among other crimes. Immigration agents were also granted permission to investigate individuals suspected of being in the United States illegally.

First is like to say Ive never tried any type of IV drug or for that matter H or hard drugs. Im not judging anyone either but I dont want you guys to think Im tryin to get a high or something. My question towards this injectable ephedrine was....is it worth using it for those long days where cardio is going to kick my ass after the weights?
My diet is pretty on point and Ive lost a great amount of fat on this run and diet. Although on the latter part of the week cardio is killing me. I want to shoot for 45min but I gut myself short around 30min. Figured if I used a minor dose Subq of injectable ephedrine it may give me the gas to continue the cardio session after weight training?
Has anyone used this stimulant? I did some research and one is not to exceed 150mg per day. Id start very small to see how I react. Let me put on my flame suit just in case lol.

Joining the American version of the reality TV show Survivor during its second season was a step towards nationwide prominence for Elisabeth Hasselbeck. As a castaway contestant, she finished in fourth place. The viewing public got to know her well as she was on our screens for a while. It was hard not to be impressed by the way she handled herself in tough situations while managing to sway other contestants' votes in her favor.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck was asked to rejoin the competition in its Survivor: All-Stars edition, but she declined. As if knowing she already had enough exposure to make it to the next level. This is quite remarkable if you consider how most of the other contestants of Survivor would gradually disappear from the public eye moving forward, virtually back to where they came from, a gentle slide back to obscurity. That said, Elisabeth would benefit greatly from the reality TV platform, using it to carve out a successful television career. She made it as the fourth co-host of The View, and also co-hosted on Fox & Friends for more than a decade. Then all of a sudden, in a move that seemed to clash with her outspoken nature, Elisabeth Hasselbeck quit the latter program in 2015. Read on to find out what made the popular TV personality decide to tuck away from the spotlight.
Well Educated Family
Elisabeth Hasselbeck was born in Cranston, Rhode Island, which is one of the best places to live in the United States. She comes from a well-educated family. Her mother is a school teacher who went back to school and is now a lawyer. Her father is an architect, and her brother is also a lawyer.
Elisabeth did well both in sports and academics. She attended Boston College and led their softball team to two consecutive Big East championships. With a B.F.A. added to her resume, she went on to work for Puma as a member of its design team.
The Last Of The Kucha Tribe
Perhaps it can be said that her decision to compete in Survivor: The Australian Outback was momentous as far as her future career in television is concerned. She finished in fourth place and was the last remaining member of the Kucha tribe. The viewing public was drawn to a point where it had to vote on contestants who were split into two tribes.
Time was on her side, for that same year she was invited to become a judge for the Miss Teen USA Pageant. Elisabeth was growing more popular, and it kind of snowballed rapidly. She then married her long-term boyfriend, professional footballer, Tim Hasselbeck. She would also land her first TV gig as a co-host for the Look for Less fashion series on the Style Network.
Women Of Every Man's Dreams
She probably didn't notice it at that time, but Elisabeth Hasselbeck's competitive spirit would amaze her fellow survivors, TV viewers, and even the show's host, Jeff Probst. You wouldn't expect someone as cute and innocent looking as Elisabeth would have such tenacity to survive, although that's what the series was all about. Her personality molted under pressure, and people witnessed her develop beautifully.
Looking back to the experience, Probst said he was certain Elisabeth Hasselbeck was destined for greater things. In an interview with HuffPost in 2014, he said, "Every guy on the crew fell in love with her. We watched this young girl mature into this fighting phenomenon, and everybody wanted to date her. They thought about marrying Elisabeth. It was in all our fantasies."
Hasselbeck Joins The View
Elisabeth Hasselbeck would gradually become more popular after her short stint on Survivor. All the pieces in her life seemed to fit well, and it paved the way for new opportunities. When The View co-host, Lisa Ling, left the show in 2002, Elisabeth first made appearances as a guest-host, eventually becoming a permanent member of the talk show.
Known for her conservative stance, she would be involved in some heated debates on TV. It may not have been all positive exposure, but she definitely made her presence known. She raised brows regarding her views on the use of the morning after pill, calling for the government to ban its over-the-counter sale even for cases of rape and incest.
Hasselbeck- Pro-Life
Her outspoken personality would not permit her to take a softer side on critical issues, and this would, later on, lead to increasing conflicts among certain celebrity co-hosts, and guests. During the war on Iraq, many citizens were against the sending of troops to fight an obscure war, but Elisabeth Hasselbeck was all for it. This caused an up-roar with comedian and fellow co-host, Rosie O'Donnell.
She also had a fall out with Whoopi Goldberg, another co-host of The View, when she was of the opinion that a lesser abortion rate would be encouraged if there was a $5,000 government stipend to parents of newborn children; this would make them inclined to keep the money and, therefore, keep the baby. Actress, Kathy Griffin, called her out for a perceived biased joint-interview with Barack Obama.
Hasselback Vs. Critics
Hasselback's views weren't always on point to many people. She would develop her fair share of critics, and those who were just about as outspoken as her would cause heated debates on air against her controversial opinions.
Good or bad publicity would consistently boost the ratings of both The View and its outspoken host. In 2009, along with her co-hosts, Elisabeth Hasselbeck would be awarded the Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host. The show's viewership would also increase considerably from this, pulling in more than six and a half million.
Conservative Or Liberal?
Whenever asked if she was a conservative, Elisabeth Hasselbeck would claim that she's neither a conservative nor a liberal. But her actions would remain contentious, highly contradictory to her claim.
For example, she would go on to become a keynote speaker of the Republican National Convention in 2004 and 2008. During the campaign period, she volunteered to introduce Sarah Palin as a vice presidential candidate. The right-leaning current affairs magazine, Newsmax, regarded her as one of the GOP's most influential women in 2013.
In spite of her newly found popularity, there was a growing concern that Elisabeth's views and conservatism may have been having a negative effect on The View and its general audience. On certain occasions, she may have gone too far in her passionate disputes, and this was about to backfire. Rumors started to come out that she was on the verge of being fired.
The rumors grew to such a level that her co-host, Barbara Walters, had to address it on television, saying there was no truth to it. On July 9, 2013, however, Elisabeth Hasselbeck would quit her job on The View to work with the morning talk show Fox & Friends.
Farewell To The View
Her decision to work with Fox & Friends seemed to be mainly for career growth. Following her decision to jump ship, Elisabeth Hasselbeck made a sentimental speech where she praised her fellow hosts, even those with whom she'd had issues with. She thanked Whoopi Goldberg, Sherri Shepherd, Joy Behar, and Barbara Walters. But she would again contradict her own words later on.
Two years after leaving The View, in an interview on The Rachael Ray Show, she admitted how glad she was to leave. Not only did she want to quit The View, but she also has not watched it since her departure.
Elisabeth Hasselbeck Joins Fox & Friends
Elisabeth Hasselbeck's addition to Fox & Friends was almost instantly felt, ratings-wise. The outspoken co-host who once spiked The View's ratings seemed to be set on improving her new platform's reach and viewership.
In just two months, this was proven to be true. Fox & Friends' performance was already up by 9%. Things were certainly looking up, so imagine what more could be in store in a year? But in a brusque turn of events, Elisabeth Hasselbeck would surprise the viewing public by announcing her decision to leave the program. It was a perplexing call to many, as she made her final appearance three days before Christmas, 2015.
Hands-On Mom
Elisabeth's exit from Fox & Friends drew many questions. People wondered if there were deeper reasons for her leaving the show that were not yet revealed. After all, she had many critics, and was no stranger to controversy.
Elisabeth would, later on, reveal, that the real motive behind her decision to quit as a show host was so she could allocate more time to her family. She wanted to be a hands-on mother to her three children – Grace Elisabeth, Taylor Thomas, and Isaiah Timothy. She wanted to focus on bringing them up, and to be there for her husband Tim Hasselbeck.
The Big Unveiling
In such a relatively short span of time working with Fox & Friends, considering all that was potentially in store for her, Elisabeth handed in an unexpected notice to the show's management. It is safe to say that no one expected her to quit her job, and she would explain her reasons the following day on live television.
The show was emotionally charged, yet Elisabeth Hasselbeck remained firm with her decision. On what her plans were for the immediate future, she said, "I am taking a new position as CBO – chief breakfast officer – at our house with the kids. And that does mean that in about a month, I'll be leaving my Fox News family."
Firm In Her Decision
Elisabeth Hasselbeck may have created harsh critics for her political views; a few relationships may have soured because of her outspokenness, but no one can accuse her of not standing by her principles.
And this same trait was palpable when she revealed her reasons for leaving the show in favor of her family. She said, "the kids need the best of me, not the rest of me. This is a really, really hard decision, but I know it is the right one, and I thank you all at home for understanding." She also added that knowing in her heart that she was doing the right thing gave her "the peace of God."
Setting Her Priorities Straight
Elisabeth Hasselbeck had worked hard for her job, and it was anticlimactic for her to quit at a time when she was in a great position to achieve more. Even though she came out clean and honest about her reasons, which were quite plausible too, many of the show's viewers remained skeptical.
A few theories would be spawned after her revelation; some people secretly expecting another contradicting announcement to be made by Elisabeth, or some rumor to be shared by someone close to her. Her having health problems was one of the angles that surfaced. A tumor was discovered in her abdomen in 2014 that they say gave her a scare. It turned out not to be cancerous, but it purportedly made the TV host reassess her priorities in life.
Celiac Disease Spokes Woman
Many other angles certainly could have contributed to Elisabeth's decision to quit her job. After all, politics could be in play due to her controversial views; she knew she had made a few enemies for pushing her beliefs about critical societal issues. However, her health ended up being the angle that was most scrutinized.
Aside from the tumor discovered in her abdomen, Elisabeth Hasselbeck also lives with an autoimmune disorder known as celiac disease. It affects the small intestine and classic symptoms include gastrointestinal problems. She published a book, The G-Free Diet: A Gluten-Free Survival Guide, a self-help book for those who suffer from it. In two years, she launched a guide of gluten-free foods for both children and adult celiacs.
Devout Christian
The controversial show host would step away from the public eye to focus on what she believes matters most. Although this is a major change in her lifestyle, still she would appear in the spotlight once in a while. She hosted the K-Love Fan Awards in the years 2016 and 2017.
This was an event staged by a religious radio station. Hasselbeck was raised a Catholic and says she considers herself a Christian now. She condemned the persecution of Christians in Iraq and denounces the removal of Bibles from hotel rooms in the US.
Coming For A Friend's Defence
Elisabeth Hasselbeck may be nestled in her home, as she says, to attend to her family's welfare, but she showed that she wouldn't hesitate to come out to promote a cause, and on this occasion, to defend a friend.
When Fox News chairman, Roger Ailes, was under fire with sexual harassment accusations by Gretchen Carlson, Hasselbeck fiercely came out to defend him against her Fox & Friends predecessor. Ailes "treated me with overwhelming respect, and pure-hearted kindness, for which I am forever thankful." Hasselbeck said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight.
Forever Newsworthy
Somehow, Elisabeth Hasselbeck's name would keep popping up in the news from time to time. And this perhaps can be attributed more to her status solely as a celebrity than for her previous job as a show host. She's elevated herself to a stage where practically everything she does, and whatever goes on around her life makes it to the news.
Even the simple act of selling a house and moving to a new one is apparently newsworthy if Elisabeth Hasselbeck does it. The multi-millionaire couple has decided to put their five-strong colonial-style house in Greenwich, Connecticut, on the market for a new 6-bedroom property in Belle, Meade, Tennessee. Nothing unusual about it, as they also previously owned two apartments in Manhattan.
Social Activist
Her decision to quit her career in TV seemed at first to be a dead end, as if nothing rewarding (career-wise) could arise from it. However, life has a way of proving us wrong again and again. Elisabeth Hasselbeck has now turned her attention to serve in social causes.
She's now a member of the board of an organization called The Positivity Project. Their main objective is to help young people connect with each other, form healthy relationships with other members of society using positive psychology. Visiting one of its projects in North Carolina, Hasselbeck said, "kids themselves are saying they love having class time to understand character – that's incredible." It seems that her definition of family has now expanded greatly. Read on to learn about the greatest female news anchors who keep us entertained by bringing in the most intriguing stories around. One has to appreciate them for all they do to keep us informed.
Maria Quiban
It isn't difficult to tell that Maria Quiban loves what she does. She works as a weather anchor for Fox in Los Angeles, California, and it is simply stating the obvious to say she works really hard.
She was born in Cebu City, Philippines but her family moved to Honolulu when she was nine. This is where she finished her studies, majoring in Journalism at the University of Hawaii. She dabbles with TV and film appearances such as in Bruce Almighty, Cold Case, and Criminal Minds. She captivates with her on-the-job enthusiasm.
Alex Wanger
Alex Wagner is an American journalist and author. She now works as a co-anchor on CBS This Morning Saturday following her stint with MSNBC's daytime program, Now With Alex Wagner.
She is also a senior editor for The Atlantic, and in April 2018 she published her book titled Futureface, which is about her Burmese American ancestry. She's married to Sam Kass, a former White House nutrition policy advisor, and assistant chef, and their wedding was attended by then U.S. President, Barack Obama.
Erin Andrews
Erin Andrews is a popular sportscaster for ESPN, and she's a familiar face in big time sports events like the Super Bowl and the World Series where she has an on-air presence. She also sidelines as a reporter for Fox NFL, and hosts Dancing with the Stars.
This lovely TV personality was voted "America's sexiest sportscaster" in 2007 and 2008. She started her career as a freelance reporter for Fox Sports Florid, but has now expanded her horizon. Andrews has made an appearance in the CMT Music Award, and has put in some endorsements and charitable work in her time.
Megyn Kelly
Megyn Kelly rose to prominence during the 2016 presidential debates where she called out no less than Donald Trump himself for his misogynistic tendencies, and on one occasion referred to him as "Voldemort." Kelly simply isn't the type to fool around with, and she won't back down from a challenge.
This American journalist was also a former corporate defense attorney. She was a news anchor at Fox before deciding work as a talk show host for NBC News. Her show Megyn Kelly Today was canceled in October of 2018, but she announced that she would be back on television in 2019.
Jenna Lee
This American journalist first started working for a community newspaper after graduating from college. As a freelance reporter, she would manage her time wisely by enrolling in Columbia University. Always looking ahead, and to support herself, Jenna Lee would write for the well-respected Forbes business magazine (online).
She is best known as an anchor for Fox News. She co-hosted Happening Now with Jon Scott, replacing Jane Skinner. After working on the platform for seven years, she left Fox News to pursue other projects and opportunities. We hope she'll remain in television.
Ainsley Earhardt
Since this TV personality signed up for Fox News as the co-host of Fox & Friends, opportunities within the network have multiplied considerably. More importantly, she's game enough to take on all sorts of concomitant challenges.
She's appeared on Hannity with her own "Ainsley Across America" segment, co-hosted Fox & Friends Weekend, Fox's All-American New Year's Eve, and American News Headquarters. She's been a panelist on The Live Desk, and you can't help but admire her work ethic. The future must hold so much promise for this bright young woman.
Julie Banderas
Julie Banderas began her journalistic career in Boston, which led her to being a news anchorwoman for WHSV-TV in Virginia, and a bunch of other networks. She finally joined Fox News in 2005, and with the influential platform had an infamous argument with the former spokeswoman for the Westboro Baptist Church, Shirley Phelps-Roper.
It was this incident that instantly gained her media attention, in which she said that she respected everyone's right to protest, but even this has its limits. If this would in effect disgrace fallen soldiers, and the youth, "lock 'em up. Throw away the key. Give 'em the death penalty." Banderas stated.
Natalie Morales
Before Natalie Morales embarked on her journalism career, she first work at a bank straight from college. She is very eloquent and can speak Portuguese and Spanish. Those who live in the West Coast area must recognize her from her work as a news anchor for NBC's Today Show, where she was named co-anchor of the third hour of the show in March of 2008.
Natalie Morales also appears on programs like Dateline NBC and NBC Nightly News, so she is a familiar face across the US.
Kimberly Guilfoyle
Kimberly Guilfoyle's profile is very diverse. Prior to her job as a co-host on The Five on Fox News, she was a practicing lawyer based in San Francisco, and LA. In 2000, she worked as a district attorney, which spanned four years. Kimberly announced mid last year that she would leave Fox News, and join America First Policies. It was even reported that she was offered the role of press secretary for Donald Trump, but she refused.
Kimberly Guilfoyle graduated magna cum laude from the University of California, Davis. While she was an intern in San Francisco's district attorney's office she also modeled for Macy's and posed for several fashion magazines.
Susan Li
Susan Li is a TV journalist for Fox Business Network. She was born in China, but grew up in Canada. She says she looks up to her mother who migrated to Canada and single-handedly raised her family. Because of her mom's sacrifices, Susan was able to finish her studies at the University of Toronto with a degree in economics.
Before joining Fox Business Network, she was a correspondent of CNBC US, and has interviewed Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and celebrity bigwigs like Robert De Niro.
Sugey Abrego
Some people just watch the news out of habit, switching on the television almost mechanically. However, for those who enjoy watching the voluptuous reporter, Sugey Abrego, talk about the weather, the room temperature remains hot regardless.
Sugey Abrego sets the television on fire with her sizzling personality and unique reporting style. Whether she is out to report about the weather forecast or current events, for some viewers, she is the most newsworthy part of the segment.
Evelyn Taft
Evelyn Taft was always interested in meteorology during her younger years. This American journalist is known as a news anchor, and editor at KCAL. Her popularity has grown mainly as a weeknight meteorologist for KCAL-TV on channel 9 stations, and for a very good reason.
It can be mesmerizing to watch her on screen with her blue eyes and blond hair. Her face beams with the warmth of many summer days, regardless of whether the weather she forecasts is gloomy or not.
Jenny Dell
Unlike many TV personalities and news anchors, Jenny Dell didn't earn a degree in journalism in college. She finished her studies in UMass Amherst, majoring in hospitality and tourism management.
Dell has made her way up the ranks through sheer hard work and she is now an NFL reporter for CBS. She is unique that way, and one can sense her knowledge in the sport is genuinely empirical, rather than out of mere theory. She is married to the former third baseman of the Red Sox, Will Middlebrooks.
Charissa Thompson
Charissa Thompson had always wanted to be a broadcaster from an early age, and now she's worked with many major sports networks from ESPN, Versus, GSN, and the Big Ten Network. She's currently working for Fox Sports.
Thompson has a way of connecting with her viewers when it comes to sportscasting. She keeps it intense, reflecting the competitiveness of every game. She has covered football, basketball, hockey, and in 2016 she even joined Toprank's broadcasting team for the Manny Pacquiao vs. Jessie Vargas fight.
Erin Sharoni
There's a reason why Erin Sharoni does very well as a TV anchor. She works for CBS Sports, and her experience as a personal trainer and a US Junior Olympic-certified swim coach must come in handy when she relates the news to her audience.
She was also a trainer at the New York Health and Racquet Club, and if that is not enough, as a hobby, she likes to skydive, surf, and snowboard. Certainly, Erin not only likes to report about sports, but she loves being in the action as well.
Amanda Pflugrad
During Amanda Pflugrad's time studying at the University of Oregon, she was a cheerleader for four years. She's always been a knockout, typically one of the most popular girls in school, but it didn't stop there. She graduated magna cum laude in broadcast journalism with a minor in communication studies.
She's currently a sideline reporter for the Boston Celtics, and you better believe that she knows the ins and outs of the game. Watch her lay down her pre-game analysis as well as recaps, interview with players and coaches; always knowing when to ask the right questions.
Cari Champion
If anyone wants a clue as to her work ethic, her last name shall be it. And she says her love for journalism has been spurred by her desire to transform the negative stereotypes that still stand against African Americans. Cari Champion is a news anchor for ESPN's flagship program, Sportscenter.
"I wanted to give people a voice that didn't have a voice. I'm always fighting for the underdog. I don't know where I got it from, but I've been like that all my life. That's why I love journalism," Champion said. And, indeed, she is a role model for African Americans, a standout in her field. She graduated from UCLA with a degree in English and her future remains as promising as ever.
Alex Curry
Viewers would not just tune in to see Alex Curry talk about Angels baseball. Fans actually take the time to really listen to what she has to say so they can have a better picture of what to expect in a game or an upcoming season. Alex Curry's reporting leaves no stone unturned.
She provides valuable insights to Angels' fans, and a roundup or a pre-game report is never complete without her. Curry won the Silver Telly Award for Angels Weekly, and is known for her playful approach to reporting.
Britt McHenry
Britt McHenry used to enliven ESPN Sports with her reporting from Washington D.C. and now she's taken all her past experiences and lessons to do what she does best in Fox Nation. McHenry is only getting better each airing!
She used to model back in college while also playing for four years as a varsity starter for the women's soccer team. This bundle of talent grew up in Florida, and she's currently the host of WTTG Fox 5 in Washington D.C.
Sara Carbonero
Sara Carbonero couldn't wait to finish her journalism course in Madrid and decided to serve as an intern at Radio Marca. They hired her as a full-time employee after six months. Before she became prominent as a reporter, FHM featured her as being voted "The Sexiest Reporter in the World."
Her popularity was upped during the 2010 World Cup coverage when the English press insinuated that her presence near the Spanish end of the pitch, near her boyfriend Casillas, was distracting him; that she'd caused the Spanish team to lose. She may have become known for reasons other than her reporting, but it doesn't mean she's not great in her field of work.
Jamie Little
Jamie Little loves to talk about real fast cars, and if you're like her, you must have seen her doing her thing for Fox from the pit of NASCAR races. Her experiences while working for ESPN covering the Indy Racing League before NASCAR had also made her popular in the motocross community where her skills had expanded.
