Alcohol is not inherently bad just like drinking responsibly and in moderation is not dangerous. However, underage drinking, binge drinking, or long term heavy drinking can have serious negative impacts on your body.
According to “Know Your Limits,” alcohol can cause weight gain because it is high in calories. It also dehydrates your body and skin, especially if you are engaging in physical activity. “Know Your Limits” also states: “Alcohol dehydrates your body and skin. It also widens blood vessels, causing your skin to look red or blotchy.” Excessive drinking can cause disruptions to normal sleeping patterns and can cause insomnia, making it hard to fall asleep. In turn, the loss of sleep contributes to stress and anxiety.
While there are dangers to drinking that come from outside forces, such as drinking and driving or bad decision-making which can lead to injury, there are also serious consequences from the simple act of imbibing. Many people know about the dangerous effect of alcohol on the liver, such as the increased likelihood of cirrhosis. However, Freeman states that researchers have linked alcohol consumption to more than 60 diseases, including anemia, cancer, dementia, depression, seizures, nerve damage, and pancreatitis.
According to both Freeman, drinking can cause the pancreas to become inflamed. Chronic pancreatitis can cause severe pain in the abdomen, vomiting, and fever. Pancreatitis is not a curable condition and can be fatal. Sixty percent pancreatitis cases are a result of alcohol consumption. Alcohol is also toxic to nerve cells; it can cause nerve damage known as alcoholic neuropathy. It can produce painful pins and needles feeling and numbness in the arms and legs, says Freeman.
Know Your Limits says that seven types of cancer have been linked to alcohol usage. This does not mean that everyone who drinks will get cancer, but scientists have recognized an increased occurrence of some cancers among those who drink. Bowel cancer, breast cancer, three types of throat cancer (laryngeal, oesophageal, and pharyngeal), liver cancer, and mouth cancer are linked to high alcohol usage. Alcohol consumption is the second largest risk factor for cancer, with only smoking being a larger risk factor, says Freeman.
Alcohol suppresses the immune system and makes it easier for infectious diseases to gain access to the body. Tuberculosis, pneumonia, HIV/AIDS, and STDs are less likely to be fought off by your immune system when overindulging in alcohol, especially because people are more likely to engage in risky sexual behaviour when their decision-making is inhibited by alcohol. According to Freeman and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, these can lead to lifelong contagions which could result in other long-term health issues, such as infertility.
According to Alcoholism Treatment California, Alcohol is classified as a depressant. A depressant is a class of drugs which affect the function of the central nervous system causing impairments to both physical and psychological activity. Alcoholism Treatment California states that alcohol blocks messages from nerve receptors and alters an individual’s judgement, perceptions, emotions, and reflexes by depressing the CNS. It is only when misuse and abuse of alcohol occurs that symptoms of depression can develop.
Mental health problems, including depression and anxiety, can be developed or exacerbated by the use of alcohol, says Freeman. There is discussion about whether drinking causes depression or depression leads to drinking. Alcoholism Treatment California explain that some researchers theorize that people struggling with depression use alcohol to self-medicate, while others believe the heavy drinking leads to depression.
According to “Know Your Limits,” alcohol has been linked as a major factor toward 65 per cent of suicides. Among young people, approximately 30 per cent of suicides occur while the individual is intoxicated. Alcohol is considered the most widely consumed drug and has inherent risks associated with its misuse and abuse.


One thing I’ve liked about having my blog, was that it wasn’t limited to just the rockabilly cats. I know it’s been utilized by barbers, stylists, shops, models, gentlemen, ladies, and the list goes on and on and on. But, there’s another scene that’s taken a liking (at least I think a liking) to my blog, and that’s the hardcore/straight edge scene.
Was it surprising? Not really. Was it surprising that a straight edge cat would make a pomade? No. So, when Tanner Swift of Redeemer emailed me about his pomade, of course I had to try it out! I know a lot of hardcore kids like to stay slicked and want that pomade that’s made just for “them,” so, here’s that pomade!
Getting the can, the label design is clean and simple: A red boarder, reading “Steel Toe” on top and “Pomade” on the bottom, and a Popeye The Sailor aesthetic cat with a pomp and (steel toe boots,) with two anchors to the left and right of him. Now, I know a lot of older folks have been perplexed by this design. I won’t say why, but I’ll let you folks have your way in the comment section.
Opening it up, you see a nice pale, creamy looking pomade. Right out of the can, you get a strong scent of clover.
Now, Tanner was hesitant about emailing me, as he’s taken note of my distaste for wax-like “pomades.” Prior to receiving the pomade, he told me that the pomade was a lot waxier than most, and to be honest with the review, whether I liked it or not… Well, that’s what y’all dig, right? Honest reviews? And if anyone wants to say my reviews have been anything but honest, speak up now, or forever hold your peace!
Now, for the moment of truth…
As I’m prepping to scoop this stuff out, I got my fingers in The Claw mode and was ready to dive right in. To my surprise, it didn’t take all that much effort, and I ended up digging a whole lot of it out! Yeah, thanks for the “warning,” Tanner!
Surprisingly, this stuff wasn’t as waxy as I had imagined. Yes, it has a waxier base, as do a lot of home-brewed pomades go, but this one had a bit different texture to it- it was waxy, but as soon as you rubbed it in your palms, it melts away. This made it a lot easier to spread thoroughly into your hair, which is definitely nice.
After spreading it in my hair, combing it up was pretty smooth. The way it softens up, allows you to comb through with ease, without much of a drag or pull. While it isn’t waxy enough to make my waxy hair lay stick straight, it didn’t make my hair waxy like some products with similar textures.
Styling a pomp with this stuff isn’t a struggle at all. It combs through like a pomade, and holds your hair in place like a wax. Surprisingly, it held up really well in the heat! I mean, I drove down the freeway with my windows down and hair pomp’d high on a hot day, and the only hairs that got moved out of place was at my left temple, because it’s closest to the window; all the other hairs stayed in place! My pomp did not even split.
Once it settles, you get left with a slightly matte finish. It’s not entirely matte, as seen above, but it doesn’t have the sheen you’d get from regular petrolatum pomade, due to the waxier base. I know there’s a few of you that want something strong like some of the other pomades on the market, but don’t like the petrolatum/greasy sheen you get from em; so this may be right up your alley!
Overall, I have to say I’m really impressed with Steel Toe Pomade. Tanner definitely did his homework. For you cats liking wax-like holding products, but not the overly waxy texture, this stuff would definitely be choice. It’s strong enough to keep my wavy hair looking good, but not too waxy to make straight hair shoot straight out. The winning factor for me was the type if hold it offers, plus, it not being like what Tanner had “warned” me about. Maybe he intentionally made his pomade sound ‘bad’? Just kidding…
Big thanks again to Tanner. Real sorry for the late review, man!
Until the next time,


If you are working in an IT industry, you might have already heard about AI taking over the jobs.
Before even going there, let us understand what exactly is Artificial Intelligence. Most people confuse Automation with AI, since both these terms are often used together, not interchangeably.
Well, automation is software program which mimics manual + repetitive + sequential activities without requiring intervention or assistance. These are rule-based systems which have to be pre-programmed to complete series of steps.
On the other hand, AI is judgement-based system which mimics learning process of Human Operator. It gains knowledge from data as “experience” and adapts itself to execute processes more efficiently next time.
There are four major areas in which typical AI system replicates human brain.
It is how you perceive environment and collect relevant data. It uses computer vision/audio/sensors for the same.
Analyze and understand the information. It involves NLP (Natural Language Processing, Knowledge trees).
Act based on the information available. It uses inference engines to formulate proper response.
Learn based on the feedback/outcome. That is where machine learning comes into play.
Now, let us look at leading systems in AI space.
It is one of the prominent system which helps apply human-like behaviour to computing problems. It uses NLP(Natural Language Processing) to sense/comprehend and analytics to generate and evaluate hypothesis. It also has capability to learn dynamically based on outcomes.
So, how do you really ‘train’ Watson ?
It starts with data procurement (gathering), then preparing it in Watson format and then uploading it to the server. Then you prepare training modules within Watson and verify. You can also re-train at frequent intervals to match real-world behaviour.
It is open source library which mimics neural networks and is used in speech recognition, computer vision and other language related tasks.
Microsoft Azure Machine Learning Studio
It is drag & drop graphic-based tool to build,test predictive analytics solution and deploy it as web service.
Python NLTK & Stanford Parser
It is machine learning open source library for NLP and data mining.
It is voice-based NLP and ML (Machine Learning) algorithm tool. It can hear voice request from customer and provides appropriate response e.g. Weather forecast for today.
While, such systems are also evolving, we should understand that AI is still way off from completely replacing human operator’s cognitive tasks. While, it can take burden off by assisting level 1/level 2 tasks (e.g. providing probable solutions in support ticket), it still needs to ‘learn’ a lot to handle cognitive tasks in entirety.
We should consider AI as enabler (personal assistant) who takes care of entry-level cognitive tasks and leave us enough time to handle more complex ones. If you are up for tasks requiring higher cognitive capabilities, then you should not be as scared with stories of AI taking over your job.

We have a love/hate relationship with the Regents Canal. It offers long stretches with no traffic lights, which is great for race training. On the other hand, it offers long stretches with no traffic lights, which equals no breaks. You also have the issue of bikers and pedestrians all fighting for the slim sidewalk space. We have had a couple of instances where our runners had an unexpected swim, so keep to the side away from the canal whenever possible. And it is helpful to yell “BIKE” as a warning to those behind you. But remember that all of us – bikers, runners and walkers – have a right to the canal so we should always be respectful.
The routes in the section all start on the Canal heading east towards Camden.
Camden/Mornington Crescent (5 miles)
Head to the canal going eastbound to Camden Lock, where we cross the small, cobblestone bridge, exit the canal and turn right onto Camden High Street (alternatively, turn right at the bottom of the bridge and go through the opening between the buildings to get to Arlington Road). At the first intersection with Jamestown Road take a right after crossing Jamestown Road and then the first left onto Arlington Road, staying on the left hand side of the street. Run straight down Arlington Road, make a slight right onto Mornington Crescent, follow it around and turn right onto Hampstead Road. At the first intersection, turn right onto Granby Terrace and the second left onto Stanhope Street. Continue down Stanhope until we reach Trinton Square. Turn right and run between the office buildings at Regent’s Place, past the nice fountains, to the end of Trinton Street. Use the pedestrian crossings to cross Osnaburgh Street and Albany Street. Head left to the intersection of Euston Road, where you take a right and run briefly along Euston Road. At Park Square East, turn right through the gates towards Regent’s Park. We enter the park at the Outer Circle intersection and stay on the path on the far right (east side) of the park, cross the Broad Walk at the ornamental fountain and head along the path with the Zoo to our right. Turn left onto the Outer Circle, past the Avenue Road exit, and right at the second exit (where we usually enter for the canal or park). Run up Charlbert Street to St John’s Wood Terrace, make a left, and head back to Starbucks
The Wall (3 – 6 miles)
6 Milers: Run South on Finchley/Wellington Road to the SJW Church Roundabout, follow the sidewalk to the left and cross Prince Albert Road at the crosswalk just beyond the SJW Church. Continue east and enter the canal at the Charlbert entrance. Run east [left], cutting through the Camden Lock Market until you run out of canal path at Islington. Touch the canal boat tunnel wall—this is The Wall!—then turn around and re-trace your steps back to SJW. When you come of the canal at Regents Park, take Charlbert to Allitsen to SJW High Street to Starbucks.
3 Milers: Start as above but when you reach the Camden Lock Market, turn around and head home.
Notes: This is a great time to do a faster ‘tempo’ run. Be very aware of bicyclists who commute on this canal path. Move into single file lines whenever someone yells out ‘bike!’
Canary Wharf (9+ miles)
Section One – Canal to the Wall
The route starts out as the Wall. Run along Prince Albert Road to join the canal at Charlbert Street. Run along the canal for approximately 3 miles until the canal pathway ends at the famous “Wall.”
Section Two – Angel Roads
We need to run through the Angel neighbourhood until we can
re-enter the canal path. At the wall follow the ramp up to Muriel Street. (This is a good place to wait for your pace group.) Take a right and then an almost immediate left up a path that winds between the apartment buildings. See the picture for the entrance to the path.
Keep going straight on the path and it will become Maygood Street. When you get to the intersection of a main road (Barnsbury Road) turn right. Run until you make the second left onto Chapel Market. (There is a metal archway saying Chapel Market and a zebra crossing at the intersection.) Follow Chapel Market until the end. (NB: There is a public Ladies Room at the end of White Conduit Street, which intersects with Chapel Market about midway.) Turn right at Liverpool Street to the major road Upper Street. Cross Upper Street and turn left. (NB: Angel Tube Station is to your right if you are going home from here.) Make your first right at Duncan Street and follow until the end. The entrance to the canal path will be directly in front of you. Go straight along the canal (NOT a sharp right turn.)
Section Three – Canal to Limehouse Basin
We run for about 4 miles following the canal path past Victoria Park to the Limehouse Basin. We exit the canal path at the wire looking bridge – see picture – and take the brown brick steps up to the left.
Section Four – Limehouse Basin to Canary Wharf
At the top of the brick steps, go straight. At the Limehouse Gallery and Bronze Age shop turn right. Run along the water until you reach the second metal foot-bridge leading to a park. Cross the bridge and run through the park. After the park, you’ll run straight, under an arch and the water will be on your right. Run with the water on your right until you see the long flight of steps next to Royal China – see picture. You’re almost there! Only a third of a mile remaining!
Run up the steps and straight ahead, through the small park to India Drive and then veer slightly right along Cabot Square. You’re heading for the big skyscraper building in front of you. Stop when you see the sign for the Canary Wharf DLR Station at the ‘mall’ entrance on the South Colonnade. We’ll meet at the Starbucks inside the building, just right of the entrance. After a much earned coffee, we’ll head to the Canary Wharf Tube station [Jubilee Line] and tube it home to SJW. Congratulations!

Several years ago, DJ Terry Wogan, on his breakfast show (here in Great Britain), would jokingly say, “well of course I blame the Russians”. This would have been back in the late 70’s when the Cold War was in full swing, so it was quite a topical thing to say. And now in our present times, everything is being blamed on Brexit, President Trump – and of course, the Russians, who we are told were behind the reason for the British people voting to leave the EU, and for the American people voting in Donald Trump as their President. Well, I am not an American, so I can’t speak for them, but as an Anglo-Saxon-Celto-British citizen through and through, I can confidently state that I voted to leave the European Union without any influence from Mr Putin or his government in Russia, and I am equally confident the same can be said for everyone here who voted likewise. Therefore, I suspect the same is true of those Americans who voted for Mr. Trump.
The fact of the matter is that the media generally, and the powers that be in this world, cannot understand why the British and the American people (Ephraim and Manasseh respectively) did not deliver the right response in their opinion – to a choice given in a referendum and a presidential election. In fact, so annoyed are they that they feel they must be seen to hold someone responsible for the result of these votes – and because they cannot find a straight forward way to cancel them, they are also doing their very best to try and undermine things – and since Russia is also out of favour, well, it is convenient to point the finger at them as the culprits.
The great accuser is of course, Satan, and it is his one-world set-up that our actions have put in jeopardy. All the wickedness and evil that is taking place today has him behind it. Mr Trump, like a Samson figure, is just not playing ball with Satan’s plan. And the British leaving the European Union means we will be free to make our own decisions and go our own way – and that’s just not playing the game right at all!
On all sides, it looks like the British leaving the EU is going to be extremely difficult to achieve with everything being thrown at Prime Minister Theresa May. To her credit and despite her many failings, she does seem to be determined that she will bring us out, as she wants to be seen as having abided by the will of the British people. Whether she actually will, or whether someone else will step into her shoes, we wait to see – but the workers of iniquity and mischief are going all out to stop up every avenue of our ‘escape’.
Michael Clark, president of British Israel World Federation refers to Brexit (the popular term for our leaving the EU), as Brexodus, and this is with reference to the Exodus in the Bible, when the Lord God brought His people out of Egypt, where they had been enslaved. Dr. Michael Bennett of the British Israel Bible Truth Fellowship, wrote an extremely good book called The Exodus, whereby he did an amazing study of the Exodus. Then at the end considered our leaving the EU as a similar event to the Egyptian Exodus- and this book was published in 2010!
Dr. Bennett brought to our attention many interesting aspects of the Exodus. One is that when the Israelites came forth from Egypt, a ‘mixed multitude’ came with them. Also, if you remember, before their coming out, Pharaoh had to be persuaded to let them go – with ten plagues, the last of which saw the death of all the firstborn and which introduced the Passover, whereby the Israelites had to kill a lamb and mark the lintels and posts of their houses with the blood from the lamb – this a symbolic shadow of the blood that was to be shed by the Lamb of God—Jesus Christ – through whom we will gain Life everlasting.
Even when Pharaoh gave in and let the Israelites go, his grief over the loss of his son—as the first born—surely turned to anger, as he sent his army in pursuit of the Israelites. Even to their following across the seabed such was his determination to get them back! Almighty God, though, put a stop to that, letting the waters that had been pushed back to allow the Israelites crossing, come crashing down, thus causing the destruction of the Egyptian Army.
The Lord God did a marvelous and wonderful thing for His people when He brought them out of Egypt. His power and magnificence were in the sight and experience of all those Israelites alive at that time – and yet there was a great part of them that were not happy with the situation. Even before the crossing of the Red Sea, they complained to Moses that he had brought them out of Egypt to be killed by the army coming after them. Then, on the other side of the Red Sea, they continually whined and lamented. It would, of course, have been somewhat uncomfortable dwelling in the Wilderness, but the Lord did all he could to make things as acceptable as possible – providing food, instructions, and most importantly, protection! One wonders just why the Israelites appeared not to be grateful for their deliverance when Almighty God was giving them such attention – and with the promise of a Land of their own.
Anything and everything that afflicted them was Moses’ fault. …’we should have stayed in Egypt’ – …’at least we had food to eat; …’we were safe, we were warm,’…we had nothing to worry about’ – the Egyptians did all our thinking for us’…! And they even had the audacity, while Moses was being given the Ten Commandments—that divine code for living in a decent society—to make themselves a golden idol to worship! Then was Almighty God, performing wonders in front of them and they still preferred to worship something else. No wonder Moses threw down the stones with God’s Laws etched upon them! I wonder he didn’t throw them at them!
What is it with our people? How God must love us! – to put up with our foolishness and backsliding!
As with those here in Great Britain who voted to leave the European Union, and those in America who voted to free themselves from the Clinton/Obama Dynasty, we still have a very large amount of people who did not want either of these things to happen. We also have a large mixed multitude in both countries, and whilst some of these people may be of Israelite descent and happy to adapt to our ways, there are many who are not, and who like things just the way they are, especially as they are being given positions of authority and power, over God’s people – just as it says in our Bible.
So, the voices of dissent in both lands are loud – and aggressive – and very self-opinionated! Like, “We shouldn’t leave the European Union – they are our friends – we need them!” “We will not be able to exist without them!”. “Donald Trump is a warmonger!” “He is undoing all Obama’s good works”, “we should have had that nice Hilary Clinton – she would have seen us alright!”.
Dr. Michael Bennett in his book on The Exodus”, wrote; “What God did for Israel in the Exodus, He has definitely promised to do again, and so we look for a last days’ deliverance from enslavement to the Treaty of Rome, and bondage to European law. Israel will yet again return to the wilderness and serve the Lord our God” (Ex 5:3).
He also wrote the following; “How God will achieve this miracle is not clear, but the principle of His activity is already revealed. I shall always remember how a man interrupted a church service to tell the congregation what God had just shown him about the Exodus. He reminded the congregation that Israel had two immense problems. The first was behind them – the Egyptian army, which, outside of God, meant certain death. Second, there was in front of them the Red Sea, an impassable barrier, blocking their way of escape. He asked us to consider very carefully what God did for Israel. God used the problem that was in front to destroy the problem that was behind. He noted the economy of God’s arithmetic concerning Israel’s problems. One problem, plus one problem, equalled no problem. Lastly, he told us that our God has not changed. He ever remains the Master, cancelling out all opposition to Israel’s calling in the world.”
So, what are we saying here? We are saying – quite boldly – that the Lord God Almighty, will deliver His people – whether we like it or not! Yes, we are sinning, and in a big way! But God knows full well who is behind all that, and (to coin a phrase from Donald Trump) will ‘deal with it’. We shall come out of the European Union, whatsoever anyone else may or may not do. And we shall come out God’s way, – and I am confident that His way will be so obviously His way, that not just we – His people – but the whole world, will know that He has done this thing for His people!
Whether Ephraim, whether Manasseh, whether the whole of the House of Israel, and whether we know it, or accept it, or not – we are HIS, and when He calls us out of the nations, then, like dear Lazarus who had lain in the grave for four days – his body beginning to rot – “…Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been (dead) four days “(John 11:39) – we shall come forth!
And, as Jesus said to Martha, after her comments above; “Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?”
Let us believe indeed – for that Glory cometh!

There is one basic truth to weight loss: You need to burn more then you eat.
Target Metabolic Zones tell you exactly how to do that. The results of your Resting Metabolic Test show you precisely how many calories your body actually burns and calculates how many calories you should eat to lose or maintain your weight.
In addition, you will learn how many calories you burn taking into account lifestyle and activity, along with exercise.
All of this information giving you exact feedback as to what you are doing metabolically vs. just “guessing” as to what you need on a day to day basis.
Learn what your daily caloric zones are from your Metabolic Rate Test.

Last time I wrote, I compared the US Administration's economic policy as "throwing the kitchen sink" at the US economic malaise.
In fact, the US has done just that.
A tax package that benefits corporations, and provides very little for the middle class it was meant to help. That same tax package will not generate the revenue necessary for the deficit to recover, and the US debt will balloon as a consequence.
To add to the US dilemma, to help spur manufacturing growth, US policy makers are now talking down the US dollar. As Secretary Mnuchin stated, this is good for manufacturers as it makes their goods cheaper for export.
Regulators are under increasing pressure by the Administration to loosen regulations. This will allow banks to lend again to a US consumer, who while spending more, is saving less. We need look no further than the recent data from the US Commerce Department to see the similarity to 2005 when we last saw the US consumer on a leverage binge. That ended well for no one.
The clock is ticking for the US as it plans one last manufacturing "hurrah"…the infrastructure bonds. This is on top of the $441 billion of borrowing announced this quarter. It is ironic that the USA is planning more debt as the Federal Reserve begins stepping back from its QE policy. Less demand and more debt means one thing: higher yields.
When did we last see these factors appear? Look to the months prior to the Crash of 1987. Like today, we saw a sell-off in bonds alongside a weakening dollar.
While I hate standing in front of market freight trains (regardless of their speed), it is clear that the market is showing the signs for investors to be concerned. Sadly, the euphoria of rising stocks in tandem with Bitcoin may have sedated investors that this is not déjà vu, but rather the new normal (again).

In this investigation, the effect of concentration of TiCl4 for the post-treatment of hydrothermally synthesized titania nanotubes-based working electrode for dye-sensitized solar cells has been studied. Hydrothermally synthesized TiO2 nanotubes were treated with different concentrations of TiCl4 to investigate the effect of TiCl4 concentration.
The solar cell performance increased with the increase in TiCl4 concentration up to 0.5 M and leveled off. The best solar cell showed a short-circuit current density (Jsc), open-circuit voltage (Voc), fill factor (FF) and efficiency (η) of 12.75 mA/cm2, 795 mV, 69.2 % and 7.04 %, respectively, while untreated TiO2 nanotube showed Jsc, Voc, FF and η of 2.4 mA/cm2, 899 mV, 78.9 % and 1.7 %, respectively.

Daily Tax Report: State provides authoritative coverage of state and local tax developments across the 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia, tracking legislative and regulatory updates,...
Sept. 22 — Dot Foods Inc. has petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to review a March decision that the retroactive application of a Washington statutory amendment narrowing Dot’s business and occupation tax exemption wasn’t a due process violation ( Dot Foods, Inc. v. Wash. Dep't of Revenue, U.S., No. 16-308, cert. petition filed 9/9/16 ).
The Sept. 9 certiorari petition contends that by upholding the state Department of Revenue’s retroactive revocation of a direct-seller exemption, the Washington Supreme Court has offered the U.S. Supreme Court an opportunity to bring order to decades of confusion over due process limits on retroactive tax laws (2016 Weekly State Tax Report 26, 3/25/16).
Washington lawmakers responded in 2010 to an earlier Dot victory before the state supreme court by retroactively narrowing the scope of the B&O exemption and prospectively repealing it. When the revenue department then denied Dot a refund for four years outside those covered in Dot’s first successful court case, the company—in the instant case—unsuccessfully challenged the denial on grounds including Fourteenth Amendment due process rights.
“This Court, however, has never held that the Constitution permits a legislature to upend business planning and expectations of repose in this manner,” according to the certiorari petition. “The Due Process Clause allows legislatures to make tax laws retroactive by matters of months, in order to correct mistakes in drafting and to ensure uniform rules over a tax year.”
Asked to handicap the chances of the U.S. Supreme Court granting certiorai, counsel of record Dirk Giseburt told Bloomberg BNA Sept. 22 that “it is opaque what the Supreme Court is interested in at any given time.”
“I think the feeling in the bar is that the Court is going to take one of these cases some day when it seems appropriate in the context of their agenda,” he added. “And everyone thinks that these cases ought to be brought to their attention because they are problematic.”
According to the petition, “this Court has never approved a retroactivity period of more than a year or two, and Justice O’Connor opined last time the Court confronted the subject that ‘(a) period of retroactivity longer than the year preceding the legislative session in which the law was enacted would raise, in my view, serious constitutional questions.' ”
Giseburt said that “courts have been quite confused about where you really address the taxpayer’s legitimate interest in repose and reliance,” in the wake of the Supreme Court’s opinion in United States v. Carlton, 512 U.S. 26 (1994).
“The Carlton decision changed the doctrine in one respect,” he added. “They said the rational basis test applies to tax retroactivity in the same way it applies to other economic and regulatory activity. But the Carlton decision then didn’t articulate how the legitimate interest of the state weighs against the interests of the taxpayers.”
“The case is an opportunity to clarify that the state’s interest is measured against the taxpayer's interest in repose, which contains the element of the period of retroactivity in determining whether the entire package has a legitimate state interest,” Giseburt said.
The petition says, “courts are sharply split over the due process limits on retroactive tax laws” with respect to how long a Legislature may reach back before it violates due process. The four-year retroactivity period in play in Dot is longer than periods that have been held unlawful by high courts in New York and South Carolina.

Zainab disappeared as she walked to her religious studies class on 4 January. Her parents were on a pilgrimage to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, at the time and the child was believed to be staying with relatives.
The child was captured on CCTV holding a man’s hand as she walked away from her home.
Her body was found at a rubbish tip more than a mile away from her home in Kasur, Pakistan, on Tuesday.
Police said she has been raped and strangled to death.
A total of 1,764 cases of child abuse were reported from across the country in the first six months of 2017 alone, the figures show, and the problem of child sexual abuse is something that has been repeatedly raised by charities and child safety campaigners.

AMD will work with game giant Havok to tailor Havok's game technology to AMD processors, the companies said Thursday.
The plans call for optimizing game-physics effects utilizing AMD's multicore processors and graphics processing units, or GPUs.
Game physics brings the laws of physics--or physical-world simulation--to a game. For example, explosions may be modeled differently depending on the terrain.
Havok, which Intel acquired in September of last year, provides development tools and services used by digital-media creators. Havok's technology has been used in game titles such as BioShock, Stranglehold, Halo 2, Half Life 2, and has been used to create special effects in movies such as The Matrix and Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
Physics code has traditionally run on a CPU such as an AMD Phenom X4 quad-core processor. As part of the collaboration, Havok and AMD plan to further optimize Havok physics on AMD CPUs. Right now about 300 titles are optimized for Havok physics on the CPU, said Matt Skynner, vice president of marketing at AMD's Graphics Products Group.
AMD wants to take this CPU-centric approach a step further, however, and optimize certain components on the GPU, as well. "The plan is to work with them to leverage the right pieces of the physics (technology) that can be accelerated on the GPU," Skynner said.
"The feedback that we consistently receive from leading game developers is that core game play simulation should be performed on CPU cores," said David O'Meara, managing director of Havok in a statement. "Beyond core simulation, however, the capabilities of massively parallel (GPU) products offer technical possibilities for computing certain types of simulation," he said.
AMD is chasing Nvidia, which acquired Ageia Technologies in February. Ageia's PhysX software is widely used, with more than 140 PhysX-based games shipping or in development on Sony Playstation3, Microsoft XBOX 360, Nintendo Wii and gaming PCs, according to Nvidia.
And Nvidia has said that the conversion of Ageia's physics application interface to Nvidia's CUDA C language environment is under way. This means users will be able to get the benefits of a physics accelerator via a software download, Nvidia said.


LAS VEGAS -- AT&T is putting its money where its mouth is when it comes to its drive to turn cars into smartphones.
The Dallas-based telecommunications company on Monday unveiled AT&T Drive, a platform that allows automakers to add connected services such as in-car entertainment systems, over-the-air diagnostic systems, and other cellular-enabled features.
In addition, AT&T will open the 5,000-square-foot Drive Studio, where automakers can bring in vehicles and test out services and components. The company told CNET that it has invested several millions of dollars on the construction of the facility.
It's the biggest move yet for AT&T, which has had its foot firmly planted on the pedal when it comes to signing up partners and promoting connected car services. AT&T has partnerships with major automakers such as General Motors and Nissan, as well as upstarts such as Tesla, and is expected to announce further partnership deals here at the Consumer Electronics Show.
"Our goal was to be best partner we can be," Glenn Lurie, head of AT&T's emerging devices business, said in an interview with CNET.
AT&T sees the connected car business, which pushes the concept that a cellular-enabled car can provide a whole different slew of services and features, as a potentially lucrative new business, possibly generating billions of dollars in additional revenue down the line. The company is eyeing the opportunity as its core wireless service business shows slowing growth and becomes more competitive.
The Drive platform is intended to be a guide to help the automakers ease into the wireless world. The platform includes everything from safety, security, and diagnostics software, voice-command technology, secure firmware updates, application store capabilities, and billing systems, among other features. The idea is that an automaker can pick and choose the resources it needs from Drive, or at least get guidance on different wireless services.
"No matter what they need help on, we can help," Lurie said. "What we're finding with the auto [manufacturers], the technology is evolving so fast, they now have to move faster."
This year could mark the start of the connected car revolution. Following a deal that was announced in early 2013, the first GM cars with an LTE radio are scheduled to roll into dealerships later this year.
"More and more, the car will become a smartphone will wheels," Lurie said.
Roger Lanctot, an analyst at Strategy Analytics, warned that it would take a while before these kinds of services broadly make it in the car.
"2014 is the beginning of the beginning," he said. "Once we get a bigger pipe in the car, we will start moving aggressively on the path to contextually aware vehicles able to deliver a safer driving experience."
The idea of a connected car leads to multiple business opportunities, even within a single car. For instance, an automaker may structure a deal where it charges a driver for the safety and diagnostic system in the front of the car, while AT&T handles the charges for the entertainment and gaming services delivered wirelessly to the backseat.
The push to create a platform is a signal that AT&T isn't content to just be the connection to the car; it wants to get its hand in the more lucrative business of offering and managing services. The carrier isn't the only one looking at this area -- Sprint also has a platform to deliver similar services, and Verizon Wireless is ramping up its own business after.
AT&T hopes to set itself apart with Drive Studio. The Atlanta-based facility is situated across the street from its connected devices-based Foundry, or one of several technology and innovation hubs that draws talent from local innovators and entrepreneurs.
Drive Studio is expected to launch later this month.
Automakers will be able to schedule time at Drive Studio to bring in cars, or build connected cars from scratch, taking advantage of the facility's working garage and range of wireless testing equipment.
"This is a place to go to try and rip a car apart and replace things and test things," Lurie said. "We want to build the next generation of connected cars."
Also at the facility will be partners such as Ericsson, which will provide a framework to delivery apps to cars, natural language provider Voicebox, billing systems provider Amdocs, dealer portal service provider Synchronoss, and Accenture, which will help with car-centric apps and related data.
The most interesting part of this business: Most of the features and services that will end up in the car likely haven't been discovered yet. Lurie said he like the pre-app smartphone days, the industry is still playing around with the possibilities.
Lanctot similarly called CES 2014 a "transitional year" for announcements, with more intriguing things to come.
"The big funs aren't ready yet, but the labs are working overtime," he said.

In a ceremony taking place in London today, The University of the Arts London is to honour Tom Dixon and Jonathan Ive for their contribution to the world of design.
Dixon will receive an honorary fellowship – the equivalent of an honorary doctorate but conferred on those with an existing relationship with the university – while Ive gets an honorary doctorate. Other designers to receive honorary doctorates include Celia Birtwell, known for her influential textile designs, and Italian fashion designer Giorgio Armani.
Hussein Chalayan, Katharine Hamnett and Jasper Conran are all to be made visiting professors at the University of the Arts for ‘distinction’ in the fields of fashion, eco fashion, costume and theatre design.
Gerda Flockinger and Peter Blake were among those who received honorary fellowships and doctorates last year. The University of the Arts London has been awarding honorary degrees since 1996.
The decision to award an honorary doctorate or fellowship is decided by a selection panel with connections to the university. ‘The panel seeks to recognise those who have made an outstanding contribution to their chosen field of endeavour, from across the disciplines that the university covers,’ a spokesman for the university says.

Most impressive was the kindness & honesty shown to me during this difficult experience. Thank you Karen for bringing light into a dark place. Your professionalism in fighting my corner helped me quit self-pity and get on with my life. You are inspirational. I would recommend you to anyone caught in employment difficulties.

Thank you so much for everything you have done Karen. You have been a really great support to us as well as an inspiring and energising motivator, during a very painful and difficult period for us. I really appreciate not just the practical advice but also the spirit in which you have guided us through. It has been absolutely invaluable. I can’t tell you how, following our first meeting with you, I felt so much more confident and protected in the situation. The way you guided us and supported us through the last few weeks has made a really unpleasant situation bearable and hopeful at every turn. Thank you so much. Today is the first day of the future, and it looks brighter now.


THE PLANK OCTOBER 29, 2008
My colleague Chris remains skeptical that Jindal—as yet another “dark-skinned man with [a] foreign-sounding name”—would be able to overcome the backlash from the GOP’s white working-class base, at least in time for the 2012 presidential election. Chris asks some good questions—prompting responses from Ross Douthat, Daniel Larison, and others—but I’d also point out that Bobby has already proven his ability to overcome some of these exact suspicions.
I’ll admit that Louisiana, as an oddball Southern state, is hardly indicative of how the Republican base would react to a Jindal candidacy. But, as I mention in my original post, it wasn’t the multicultural, multiethnic denizens of Louisiana’s cities who sent Jindal to the governor’s mansion. Bobby managed to prevail in that election precisely because he was able to win over the voters who brought David Duke into office, by going from church door to church door in Louisiana’s rural north and giving testimony. There is nothing that seems more rousing for evangelicals than a redemption narrative: Much as Bush’s conversion seemed to atone for his youthful transgressions, Jindal’s intense religious conversion—reinforced by his fundamentalist hardline on social issues—blotted out his foreign-seeming qualities and redeemed him before suspicious voters.
Accordingly, I agree with Ross that Jindal might be able to avoid the brush of Otherness that has dogged Obama, whose "name, ancestry and skin color have dovetailed with other aspects of his background - from his liberation-theology church to the academic-lefty and urban-machine milieu." Jindal has achieved such improbable success because he’s the quintessential assimilationist. Unlike Obama, who has highlighted his experience as a community organizer throughout the election, Jindal’s biography isn’t about overcoming adversity within the system; it’s about meeting and exceeding all the expectations of the system itself. The country’s youngest governor has never stopped being the overachieving, straight-A student at any point in his professional career, catapulting himself through the ranks by winning over senior politicians and scoring a series of series of high-level political appointments. Jindal continues to ride high on his reputation as wunderkind—someone who can make the system better because he’s just smarter than the rest of us—and his social conservatism allows him to pull it off without being tagged as a elitist.
I’d add, moreover, that most of the suspect associations that Ross mentions Obama to a distinctly African American version of Otherness. Jindal’s skin may be dark, but it’s not black. While this may not be an important distinction to all voters who harbor racial prejudices, it could bolster Jindal’s chances in conservative strongholds that Obama still can’t crack. Historically, Asian Americans have been able to assimilate and enter the ranks of America’s power elite more quickly than other minorities; Indian-Americans, for one, are the country’s wealthiest immigrant group. It’s mostly because new Asian arrivals tend to come from more privileged middle-class background than their counterparts, but it’s also because there is a strong tendency to value assimilation and play down “Otherness” within many Asian immigrant families. Jindal, after all, famously began using the name "Bobby" instead of "Piyush" at age 4, after watching the Brady Bunch—precisely the inverse of Obama’s evolution from “Barry” to "Barack."

“I think the streets are clean for a while. I’m a dinosau’. Ain’t nobody around like me no more, so…”
Steven Seagal’s new one FORCE OF EXECUTION isn’t really a movie I would recommend to most people, mainly because they would ask what “force of execution” means and I would have no idea what to say. I guess it means the same thing as “reservoir dogs,” but just doesn’t sound as cool or poetic.
However, as a dedicated Seagalogist (in fact, one of the West Coast’s most respected, if I do say so myself) I found plenty of things interesting about this one. In fact, I watched it without reading anything about it and it kept confounding my expectations for a Seagal picture. In the opening scene Seagal’s character Mr. Alexander has a guy tied to a chair and he’s threatening him, saying “You broke the code, Sasha,” and stuff like that. He gives him a knife and tells him to slit his own throat as punishment for being “a rat.” When the guy tries to defend himself Mr. Alexander beats him to death and complains about getting blood on his suit. I mean, Seagal characters are always kinda over the line, but they don’t usually capture a traitor, torture and kill him. (read the rest of this shit…)

February 17, 2010
Ken Blackwell, the former Ohio official and conservative leader, suggests on Fox News's website this week that President Obama's nomination of two liberal law professors to senior posts constitutes a "pogrom" against Christians.
Blackwell, a senior fellow at the Family Research Council and a fellow at Liberty University, compares attempts to challenge the tax exempt status of the Catholic Church and to deny public funding to groups that won't admit gays to the mass murder of Jews.
What we are witnessing right now is an anti-Christian programmatic pogrom. What is a “pogrom” it’s the word that describes anti-Jewish raids by Cossacks and others in czarist Russia, but a programmatic pogrom best describes what is happening right now. These are not isolated attacks. And while we no longer have Cossacks to threaten, we now have left-wing bloggers who actually call themselves Kossacks (after the Daily Kos).
Blackwell focuses much of his attention on Dawn Johnsen, an abortion rights lawyer and academic named to head the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel. In a particularly strange choice, however, Blackwell puts central blame for the "pogrom" on a Jewish law professor and disability rights scholar, Chai Feldblum, Obama nominated to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, [and whose father survived the Holocaust in the forests of Poland after losing most of his family.]
"If confirmed, she would be in position to pursue the pogrom nationwide," he writes of her gay rights advocacy.

It is used by police interrogators to have a subject incriminate himself without realizing it, and more importantly, without speaking further about the topic. It exploits a known phenomenon where people focus on the most recent topic. By quickly shifting to an unrelated topic after something incriminating was said, the interrogator can avoid having elaboration to elaborate on the statement, and to avoid protest from the subject.
It is noted that politicians are also aware of this technique. By creating a new topic of debate, focus can be shifted from a more incriminating one.

Swiss vote narrowly to curb EU immigrationMonday 10 February 2014 10.43
Swiss voters have narrowly backed proposals to reintroduce immigration quotas with the European Union.
While neutral Switzerland is not a member of the EU, its immigration policy is based on free movement of people to and from the EU, as well as allowing in a restricted number of non-EU citizens.
The vote, which comes 12 years after an agreement with the EU on free movement of people came into force, could hurt an economy dependent on foreign professionals by increasing red-tape and jeopardising bilateral accords.
In a nail-biting vote, 50.3 percent backed the so-called "Stop mass immigration" initiative, which also won the required majority approval in more than half of Swiss cantons or regions, Swiss television said.
The outcome obliges the government to make the initiative, spearheaded by the right-wing Swiss People's Party (SVP), into law.
It reflects growing concern among the Swiss population that immigrants are eroding the nation's distinctive Alpine culture and contributing to rising rents, crowded transport and more crime.
Opponents of the move say it could exacerbate a shortage of skilled workers in Switzerland, the home of Roche, Novartis, UBS, Nestle and other multinationals filled with foreign professionals.
"Explanatory and constructive talks with the EU are needed urgently," the Swiss Banking Association tweeted after the result.
