Sonoma State University Date Written: August 25, 2018 Climate models predict that rising atmospheric CO2 will simultaneously warm the troposphere and cool the stratosphere. This combination of tropospheric warming and stratospheric cooling is found in the observational data over a period of rising atmospheric CO2. Although strong correlations between these time series are found in the source data, the correlations do not survive into the detrended series at annual or five-year time scales. The absence of detrended correlation implies that the correlations seen in the source data derive from shared trends and not from responsiveness at annual or five-year time scales. The results are inconsistent with the theory that rising atmospheric CO2 simultaneously warms the troposphere and cools the lower stratosphere.

Jinho AHN, Melissa HEADLY, Martin WAHLEN, Edward J. BROOK, Paul A. MAYEWSKI, Kendrick C. TAYLOR ABSTRACT. One common assumption in interpreting ice-core CO2 records is that diffusion in the ice does not affect the concentration profile. However, this assumption remains untested because the extremely small CO2 diffusion coefficient in ice has not been accurately determined in the laboratory. In this study we take advantage of high levels of CO2 associated with refrozen layers in an ice core from Siple Dome, Antarctica, to study CO2 diffusion rates. We use noble gases (Xe /Ar and Kr /Ar), electrical conductivity and Ca2+ ion concentrations to show that substantial CO2 diffusion may occur in ice on timescales of thousands of years. We estimate the permeation coefficient for CO2 in ice is ∼4 ∼ 10–21 mol m–1 s–1 Pa–1 at –238C in the top 287 m (corresponding to 2.74 kyr). Smoothing of the CO2 record by diffusion at this depth/age is one or two orders of magnitude smaller than the smoothing in the firn. However, simulations for depths of ∼930–950 m (∼60–70 kyr) indicate that smoothing of the CO2 record by diffusion in deep ice is comparable to smoothing in the firn. Other types of diffusion (e.g. via liquid in ice grain boundaries or veins) may also be important but their influence has not been quantified.

Joint Instability clinical trials at University of California Health 1 research study open to eligible people STABILITY 2: Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction +/- Lateral Tenodesis With Patellar vs Quad Tendon open to eligible people ages 14-25 Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture is one of the most common musculoskeletal injuries in young individuals, particularly those that are active in sports. Up to 30% of individuals under the age of 20 years suffer a re-injury to the reconstructed ACL. Revision ACLR has been associated with degeneration of the articular cartilage and increased rates of meniscal tears, increasing the risk of post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA), additional surgical procedures, reduced physical function and quality of life. As such, strategies to reduce ACLR failure, particularly in young active individuals, are critical to improving short and long-term outcomes after ACL rupture. There is ongoing debate about the optimal graft choice and reconstructive technique. Three autograft options are commonly used, including the bone-patellar-tendon-bone (BPTB), quadriceps tendon (QT) and hamstring tendon (HT). Additionally, a lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET) may provide greater stability to the ACLR; however, its effect on failure rate is unclear and surgery-induced lateral compartment OA is a concern. To definitively inform the choice of autograft and the need for a LET, this multicenter, international randomized clinical trial will randomly assign 1236 young, active patients at high risk of re-injury to undergo ACLR using BPTB or QT autograft with our without LET.

On Friday evening last, the Parish of Muckno (Castleblayney and Oram), Co Monaghan, honoured the various contributions of the Sisters of Mercy to the life of the parish and wider community at a special Mass of Thanksgiving, following which the Bishop of Clogher, Most Rev. Larry Duffy, unveiled a specially-designed commemorative plaque in St Mary’s Church, Castleblayney. The liturgywas followed by refreshments and short performances by the three Convent schools in the Íontas Centre. The Mass and Homily: The chief-celebrant of the Mass was Canon Shane McCaughey PP, Castleblayney, who also preached the homily. A number of priests concelebrated the Mass, many of them had served in ‘Blayney over the years. The attendance also included the Rev Neal Phair, Church of Ireland Rector of Muckno, Clontibret and Ballybay and Mrs Deborah Anderson and Mrs Daphne Holmes-Greer who represented Rev Colin Anderson of First Castleblayney and Frankfort Presbyterian Churches. The following is the text of the homily given by Canon McCaughey: ‘Some of you may be familiar with the French philosopher Paul Ricouer who died in 2005. He was a lecturer and writer of books and essays the most recent of which was titled “Memory, History, Forgetting” published in 2004. In it he posed the question as to why do some historical moments occupy the forefront of our collective consciousness while other profound events are forgotten. Why does history “overly remember” some events at the expense of others? He gives a number of illustrations of this. In the West everyone is conscious of the genocide of the Jewish people during the Second World War, known as the Holocaust while at the same time few recall the genocide of the Armenians decades earlier, also a holocaust. Historians and commentators put their own perspective, their own slant on our history, he claims, often to the detriment of our well-being. ‘I believe we can today add another illustration to this revisionism in the way that the Catholic Church and particularly the religious orders in Ireland have had their record of dedicated service completely and comprehensively ignored to be replaced with a narrative that insists that all our religious orders should be demonised and totally condemned for the failings of individual members. This rewriting of history is not a balanced reassessment of centuries of exceptional generosity by the Church in Irish society, but is a consensus of group think which extends through the media, journalism and offices of the state, which wishes to denounce and silence the voice of the Church and relegate it to the bizarre extremism of fringe fundamentalism. In this new dispensation the favoured historians are determined to engrave in memory the scandalous behaviour of the few in our clergy and religious, while forgetting forever the enormous contribution to education, healthcare and community development of the vast majority of priests and those in consecrated life. While the Church speaks of “charity to truth”, the new narrow liberal agenda may grudgingly accept and tolerate the charity of individuals like Sister Consilio of Cuan Mhuire, Brother Kevin in the Capuchin day centre and Fr Peter Mc Verry with the homeless, but will condemn and ignore the call to truth made by Pope Francis on his visit here last August. ‘We have come together this evening to repudiate the revisionism of our history. We as a community wish to acknowledge and celebrate the contribution that the Sisters of Mercy have made to Muckno and the surrounding parishes since your arrival here in 1905. When Canon James Meegan invited the Sisters of Mercy to set up in Castleblayney he was attracted by the mission statement of their founder Sr. Catherine Mc Auley, who wished to do something practical for the poor and to present to them the compassionate face of God. Through the establishment of their three schools the Sisters provided education to the children of this and neighbouring parishes at little cost. Over the decades since, thousands of people have benefitted from an education made available through the heroic sacrifices of so many women who put all their energies as well as their salaries in to the service of the young people. When the Workhouse closed the Sisters took charge of nursing care there and enabled it to evolve to become St Mary’s hospital and then to the wonderful nursing home of today. The interaction with parishioners and particularly the contact with the poor and marginalised by way of home visitation and charity enabled this parish to have a real sense of community built on the foundations of the Beatitudes. The development of life-giving ministries of more recent decades saw the Sisters leading the way in the many initiatives that have come to fruition in childcare, housing, environment and the arts. The wonderful Iontas centre provides visitors with a real sense of astonishment as they discover the fabulous facilities which are so accessible to the whole community. ‘As we come together this evening in this sacred space we wish to acknowledge the rich legacy you have provided. As you share stories and bring back to life the memories of the past may you come to realise that your work has not been in vain. Your memories and history will not be forgotten and the plaque we dedicate today will stand as a testament to future generations who when they look back on these times will be able to determine that the narrative being foisted upon us by a narrow and blinkered society is far from the truth. As you have journeyed with this community over the decades you have helped them to overcome hardships and disappointments, and enabled them to celebrate with joy the blessings of life. You have allowed our people to know that the message of Jesus to go teach all nations was well carried out in your service to us. As your attention turns to the developing world may God continue to bless you, nourish you and strengthen you. ‘In Isaiah today we are told that that seed of integrity will spring up in the sight of the nations. St Paul urges us to be united in our convictions and in St Matthew’s Gospel we find Jesus thanking God for revealing God’s mysteries not to the learned and the clever but to mere children. He invites us who may feel overburdened to remember that His yoke is easy and light and we will find rest in Him. ‘May I conclude with some lines from the beautiful prayer “Prophets of a future not our own”, associated with St Oscar Romero; It helps, now and then, to step back and take a long view. We plant the seeds that one day will grow. We water seeds already planted, knowing that they hold future promise. We may never see the end results, but that is the difference between the master builder and the worker. We are workers, not master builders; ministers, not messiahs. We are prophets of a future not our own. ‘The seeds sown here by the Sisters of Mercy over the decades will continue to produce fruit in the future. We salute you Sisters for your convictions as you follow the path laid down by Sr. Catherine Mc Auley. We pray you find comfort and consolation in the presence of our Saviour, for the vocation of your lives will stand as a wonderful example of witness to truth in challenging times. You are truly prophets of a future not your own.’ Unveiling of Plaque: Before the Rite of Blessing and the unveiling of the plaque, Bishop Duffy recalled his years in Castleblayney, during which he served as a chaplain to Our Lady’s Secondary School. He spoken glowingly of the vast contribution made by the sisters to the people of the area and how their legacy is still evident today. Following the unveiling, the Provincial Leader of the Sisters of Mercy in the Northern Province, Sr Ann Brady, addressed the gathering. She spoke of the hope which the first five sisters had when they arrived in Blayney in 1905 and how that hope, rooted in faith, manifested itself over the years and also today in the life of the community. She thanked the local committee, headed by John Gallen, which organised the event and she also thanked Bishop Duffy for his presence and Canon McCaughey for his homily. The Sisters of Mercy came to Castleblayney from Enniskillen in September 1905. They immediately began their ministry in education and soon afterwards they established a Girls National School and, later, a secondary school at Laurel Hill in the town. The secondary school was to become Our Lady’s Secondary School in 1971 when it merged with St Mary’s Boys Secondary School on the Dublin Road. Today, Our Lady’s Secondary School, the Convent Girls School and the Junior School continue to fulfil their mission in the tradition of the Sisters of Mercy.In addition to education, the Sisters of Mercy also played an important part in the local town and parish through pastoral care and social work. While the convent itself closed in 2013, there is still a small community of sisters living at Laurel Hill in the town. All of the different schools, St Mary’s Hospital, Íontas, the Blayney Blades and the Castleblayney Trust, were represented in the liturgy on Friday evening, making it another event of note in the long history of the parish of Muckno.

I leave for my trip to Vicki's...and I'm pretty excited about it. Though my laundry is done (he he Vic, finally huh!!) I'm not packed and I still have an assignment to finish before I leave - I've got plenty of time as my flight isn't until noon tomorrow! Here are my 10 minute Collage's I've been working on. Each one takes me just a little bit of time to create, but aren't they great? It's great to park myself with my scrap box in fron of the tv with my scissors (yes NO paper trimmer used on these - and mostly SCRAPS and discarded paper) and make these. They get fancied up with a picture and some gold stitching. I've made almost 40 of them - so some will be available on my Etsy when I get home from Vic's and the rest I'm going to approach a local upscale store with....wish me luck on that! There are a few inparticular that I am planning on making into prints. I had so much fun with these...anyway - gotta run for now - to finish my article that I'm working on....TTFN! And thanks for sun today...it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood for a change!

Hellhounds are required for several challenges in Zombies, but you also have the ability to pet them. There are several different enemy types you will encounter during a match in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Zombies. From regular zombies, to Special and Elite Zombies to enemy human AI, you can’t go far without being attacked by something. However, one of the more sought-after enemies Zombies is Hellhounds. These fire dogs really only come in one variety and can spawn randomly on the map just like any other zombie or enemy type. However, what makes Hellhounds different from other enemies is that you need to kill them for certain weapon camo challenges, contracts, or missions in Zombies. There is also another element to Hellhounds, which is petting them for an in-game achievement. If you’re curious about the best way to spawn Hellhounds or how to pet one in MW3 Zombies, read our guide below for all of the details. How to find Hellhounds in MW3 Zombies Overall, the most efficient way to find a large amount of Hellhounds is to complete various contracts around the map. These contracts can be in the Low, Medium, or High Threat Zones, as Hellhounds can spawn anywhere in Urzikstan. Of course, to see a higher number of Hellhounds, you likely want to go to the more dangerous zones, but only if you have the right gear. However, the best contract to find and complete to spawn Hellhounds are Raid Weapon Stashes. These contracts require you to defend a stash, likely in a building, for a specific amount of time. During this time, dozens of zombies will come to try and eliminate you. Hellhounds have a higher chance to spawn and attack you when this contract is active, so it’s highly recommended to complete as many Raid Weapon Stashes as you can find on the map. Raid Weapon Stash contracts are marked on your map by an icon of a gun inside of a book. As with all contracts, this icon is light blue. If you have completed all of your Raid Weapon Stash contracts, you can also complete Escort ACV contracts in Zombies. These contracts tend to also spawn a solid amount of Hellhounds. Escort ACV contracts require you to protect a tank as it moves around the map. You have to protect it for roughly five minutes and dozens of zombies will spawn to attack it or you. Not as many Hellhounds will spawn during Escort ACV contracts as they will during Raid Weapon Stash contracts, but either one will serve you just fine. How to pet Hellhounds in MW3 Zombies If you have ever seen a doghouse icon on your map while roaming around Urzikstan in MW3 Zombies, you might be interested in exactly what it does. This icon represents a Hellhound doghouse, which guarantees to spawn a friendly Hellhound you can pet, but only if you complete a couple of objectives first. Petting a Hellhound rewards you with an in-game achievement and is required for some missions in Zombies. To pet a Hellhound, first you need to find a doghouse icon on your map. Once you find one, you need to find and loot a Chunk of Flesh, which is only a drop from killing zombies. Chunk of Flesh is a random drop, so you need to continually kill zombies until you see it on the ground. It’s a blue rarity item, so it might take a while to drop for you. If you get lucky and get the Chunk of Flesh drop, add it to your rucksack and take it to the doghouse icon on your map. Standing in front of the doghouse, interact with it and you’ll see an inventory pop up. Transfer the Chunk of Flesh from your inventory to the doghouse, which causes the house to explode and a Hellhound to spawn. Don’t worry, though, as this Hellhound is friendly and won’t attack you. When the Hellhound spawns, you can approach it and interact with the dog to give it a pet. This rewards you with the “You Can Pet The Dog Achievement” in MW3. And that’s everything you need to know about how to find and pet Hellhounds in MW3 Zombies. They’re not the most common enemy to find in Urzikstan, but using our tips, you should be able to spawn them far more frequently than you were able to before. If you venture over to the multiplayer side of MW3, be sure to check out our guide for the best killstreaks to use.

I give TransPerfect Chief Executive Philip Shawe a lot of credit for speaking out against Chancery Court corruption. It’s one thing for me, as an opinion columnist, to call out the court corruption I’ve seen since the Andre Bouchard years. It’s another thing for this man–who runs a billion-dollar-plus company–to speak out strongly against it. Look below at this New York Daily News opinion piece, written by Shawe, about Chancery Court corruption. Please read it and send me your thoughts. Your feedback is always appreciated. JUDSON Bennett-Coastal Network By Phil Shawe New York Daily News Aug 14, 2022 at 5:00 am The richest person in the world, and one of the most recognized businesses on the planet, are squaring off in a legal battle for the ages. Already one of the most-watched events in the world, the Elon Musk-Twitter lawsuit will send shockwaves throughout the technology and legal communities. And this clash of titans could very well be decided by an obscure and ethically compromised business court: The Delaware Court of Chancery. Wielding jurisdiction over the majority of publicly traded companies and the Fortune 500, Delaware’s Chancery Court is without a doubt the most influential judiciary that most Americans have never heard of. But this bombshell case will finally provide the public a glimpse into what has traditionally been a star chamber tribunal, without a shred of transparency. And while an opaque Chancery could compromise the results of this lawsuit, the American people deserve to see how the self-dealing philosophy of “you scratch my back, I’ll scratch yours” drives this court’s agenda. Take it from me, because I learned the hard way. My story started as a textbook American Dream business success. As a founder and CEO of TransPerfect, I led our global translation services company from two people in a college dorm room with a great idea and fiery drive to succeed into a billion-dollar industry leader with 7,000 employees worldwide. Yet in 2015 I watched helplessly as that dream became a nightmare when kangaroo court proceedings in the Delaware Chancery Court granted one of my partners a baseless exit strategy by public auction — the first time in U.S. history a court forced the sale of a profitable company, and it happened by order of the Chancery Court. This was an unprecedented decision in American legal and business history, and it sent my company and our thousands of workers into a mass panic. And while I was ultimately able to prevail and reacquire the business I’d founded, the Chancery’s incredible damage was done. Lives were traumatized and upended for years with uncertain futures, while the case racked up a whopping $250 million in legal and custodian fees. And that’s precisely the point of the Delaware Chancery — a lucrative money-maker for the state’s small, insular and powerful legal community. And it’s what awaits Musk, Twitter shareholders and anyone else who finds their case adjudicated by this haven of legalized corruption. The fundamental issue with the Chancery Court is its failure to remain unbiased and free from its own external influences. The current chief chancellor, Kathleen McCormick — now overseeing the Twitter v. Musk case — has admitted that the members of the Delaware State Bar Association have “always had each other’s backs, we’ve always gone out for drinks after arguments.” But this is par for the course. In a system where hometown relationships are everything, chancellors assign cases by hand, potentially to drive outcomes — not randomly assigned by wheelspin, as all federal courts do to eliminate any favoritism or appearance of impropriety. The Chancery Court is a shining example of revolving door machinery at work. Chancellors are picked by the governor in a secret process, and then spend their time returning the political favors that won them the position — or angling for paydays when they leave the bench — as was the case when former Chancery Court Chancellor Leo Strine, currently serving as counsel to Twitter, Inc., left his post for a partner job at Wachtell Lipton. Compounding the issue, Delaware judges are not subject to financial disclosure laws. There is nothing compelling them to disclose if they own Twitter stock, for example. No requirement to reveal if a judge started a business with one of the attorneys in a case before them — as was the case in my litigation, where the judge had been business partners with opposing counsel. Adding insult to injury, Delaware has no inspector general, so there is no independent oversight whatsoever on this nepotistic system. The Chancery Court may have once been the bastion of fairness it markets itself as, but those days have given way to revolving-door favoritism. The interest of corporations, stockholders and employees mean nothing compared to the personal interests of judges and the lawyers who hold their future offer letters. As this legal drama unfolds, with billions at stake and thousands of jobs on the line, Musk and Twitter shareholders should be warned that there is actually a third party in this case, the Chancery itself. Despite all the oaths and lofty platitudes, this hidden club has a higher loyalty to their cronies over the litigants or the people of Delaware. Like me, Musk and Twitter will learn this the hard way. But perhaps this high-profile lawsuit will finally provide the scrutiny needed to reform this archaic and feudal system once and for all.

As a former political leader in the Delaware Republican party, being a district chairman, political fundraiser, campaign manager for two major statewide campaigns, a delegate, and an elected candidate myself for a local office, a former lobbyist and now a political pundit, please believe me folks when I tell you I know this political game, backward and forward. Indeed, in most cases, it is a dirty enterprise that often involves unethical practices with extreme opposition research. Indeed it is war, and pretty much anything goes to achieve a victory! All this being said, I happen to believe that former Delaware Senator and former Vice President Joe Biden is corrupt in every way possible and he would not know the truth if it hit him between the eyes. I know everything about him, played football against him when I went to St. Andrew’s School and he was at Archmere Academy, I ran the campaign against Joe Biden, as Ray Clatworthy’s Sussex County campaign manager, who ran against Biden, the last time he ran for the US Senate. I always felt if we could have won, how history would have changed. We came very close! Folks, Biden, is unethical beyond belief and he should not be elected President of the United States. I find more and more evidence every day and the story you will read below is just more indication of his lifetime of political fraud. I saw this Politico story below, which is about the same corruption and cronyism that I see in Chancellor Andre Bouchard’s operation in the Delaware Court of Chancery. I have been writing about the extreme bias and appearances of impropriety involving Bouchard’s former business partners and the incestuous crap that has become Delaware’s judicial system. It is apparently all part of the good ole boy, accepted “Delaware Way.” A wink, and a look, a plan, and a deal. They all scratch each other’s backs and everything seems to work out for those in power. The TransPerfect case was mishandled in “The Delaware Way” for the benefit of the special group. This case was not about campaign contributions, but about unethical distributions. Before going further about the Politico story and how it relates to “The Delaware Way,” please be advised that there are hard and fast, established, federal laws about campaign financing. It is against the law to reimburse someone for a campaign contribution. You can go to jail for that. Also, if the recipient knows the funds are not collected properly and accepts them, he can go to jail. Often, an employer will get all his employees to make maximum contributions to a candidate, then he will reimburse the employee. It is called “BUNDLING.” Let’s say you have 50 employees, order them to each make $1000 contributions to Joe Biden for Senate and you have collected $50,000 for “Sleepy Joe” If the boss reimburses the employees and Biden knows about it, it is illegal as hell. It is extremely hard to prove, but with wiretaps, the right conversations, and determined cops, they sometimes get everyone involved. Frankly, Biden had a real near-miss, and should have been prosecuted! The story below is about Chris Tigani and his liquor distributorship in Delaware. My son knew him, and he knew Beau Biden (Joe’s son). I know the family and I know his entire story. Chris got his employees to make contributions up to about $75K, he reimbursed them and then gave the bundled money to Joe Biden! It was “The Delaware Way” which in the story below, Chris Tigani speaks about. “The Delaware Way” got Chris some jail time and Joe Biden should have gone with him. The powers that make it all happen are covered because they always control the outcome. To its critics, on the other hand, “The Delaware Way” can look like a culture of favor trading and cronyism. It certainly is from my experience. It is important to read the article, it is fascinating. Tell me what you think. Do you think the whole Biden group should have been prosecuted? Do you think Biden should be President? Do you see the similarities and the corruption and cronyism in “The Delaware Way”? I look forward to hearing from you. JUDSON Bennett-Coastal Network Here’s the story, scroll down to keep reading: Delaware Beer Distributor: I Wore a Wire to Probe Biden’s Fundraising A decade-old FBI investigation casts light on the tight-knit political world from which the former vice president emerged. Christopher Tigani was a wealthy beer distributor who relished his close ties to Delaware politicians, particularly Joe Biden, when the FBI confronted him outside a Royal Farms gas station in September 2010. Tigani was in trouble. While serving as a bundler for Biden’s aborted 2008 presidential campaign, he had reimbursed his employees for contributions made in their names, a well-worn tactic for circumventing campaign-finance laws. What happened between that day and Tigani’s 2012 sentencing has never before been revealed: He would wear a wire for the FBI and record people close to the then-vice president, seeking, he said, to confirm his belief that they knew of his reimbursements and investigate whether they, or others close to Biden, engaged in any quid pro quo deals with donors. Over several months in 2011, Tigani said, his handlers used him to try to elicit cooperation from others closer to the then-vice president and even discussed trying to get him in front of Biden himself while wearing a wire. Tigani said he recorded conversations with former Biden finance chief Dennis Toner as well as a businessman close to Biden and a Biden aide-turned-lobbyist. He said he also sought to develop evidence against other players in Delaware politics. Ultimately, only Tigani himself faced federal charges. In interviews with POLITICO, Tigani, now 49, agreed to share the details of his informant work for the first time, in part, he said, because he felt he was left out to dry by the Bidens when revelations about his illegal fundraising for both Joe and son Beau, along with other top officials, placed him at the center of a Delaware political scandal a decade ago. The information Tigani provided to federal investigators was “not actionable” according to a confidential 2012 letter sent from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Delaware to the United States Probation Office detailing his attempted FBI cooperation. Following the federal investigation of Tigani’s fundraising for Biden, Delaware authorities conducted a corresponding probe of Tigani’s donations to state-level campaigns. A special prosecutor appointed by Delaware Attorney General Beau Biden, who recused himself, brought no charges against politicians or their aides, but warned of “a compelling need to reform the ‘pay to play’ culture out of which the conduct that led to this investigation may have grown.” At the time of Tigani’s 2011 guilty plea, a spokeswoman for Joe Biden, then the vice president, denied he had any knowledge of Tigani’s crimes. Biden’s 2020 campaign repeated the denial. “This matter was thoroughly investigated almost a decade ago by the Department of Justice, and there was no finding, or even allegation, of improper behavior by the 2008 campaign,” said Biden spokesman Michael Gwin. A former assistant U.S. attorney involved in the investigation, Robert Kravetz, said it produced no evidence of wrongdoing by the vice president. The FBI declined to comment. But Tigani’s saga — the story of a businessman so eager to cultivate relationships with the leaders of his small state that he crossed the line into criminality — offers a window on the Delaware political world from which Biden emerged, one in which long-standing family and social ties often mix freely with business and policymaking. Tigani, whose father played football with Joe Biden in high school, and who himself grew up knowing sons Beau and Hunter Biden, described a relationship in which he raised funds for the Bidens and then advertised his closeness to the family while navigating the complicated regulatory apparatus connected to owning a liquor distributorship. He described a series of encounters in October 2007 when he said Joe, Beau and Hunter, approached him at an after-party following the Democratic primary debate at Drexel University and asked him to step up his campaign fundraising, before passing him to Toner, who asked him, “How many people do you have who you can trust?” He also described a 2011 meeting with the Biden aide-turned-lobbyist, part of his attempted FBI cooperation, in which he said he taped the former Senate staffer suggesting that the Bidens and Toner knowingly accepted straw donations from bundlers, a violation of campaign finance law. And Tigani recounted a phone call with Toner in which he said the campaign finance director seemed to know he was being recorded, saying “I don’t even know who else is listening,” before hanging up. “The agents believed that Toner and Biden knew exactly what was going on with respect to bundling,” Tigani said, but the bureau was unable to prove it because the men were “too smart.” In response to written questions, Toner disputed Tigani’s recollections and said he did not know of Tigani’s illegal reimbursements until Tigani pleaded guilty to them in court. That Tigani went to prison for campaign finance violations related to Biden’s campaign, and that he cooperated with federal investigators, has been known for years. But the details of his attempted cooperation, including the fact that the FBI investigated the Biden campaign, have remained secret until now. His account is buttressed by documents obtained by POLITICO, including the 2012 letter from the U.S. Attorney’s Office. It states that, on 17 occasions, Tigani made recordings of conversations with six different people, including a “high-level official of the Biden for President campaign” and a “former Biden staffer now working as a lobbyist.” Tigani’s saga provides insight into the political culture from which Biden emerged, the chummy “Delaware Way.” To its proponents, the Delaware Way entails an approach to politics based on long-term relationships, compromise and civility. It’s a style of governing that comes naturally in a small state. “He was kind of the person who helped create the Delaware Way,” Biden’s former aide and successor in the Senate, Ted Kaufman, recently told the Los Angeles Times, referring to Biden. Biden himself has touted this style as the path back to national normalcy. “It’s the Delaware Way,” the then-vice president told his hometown paper in 2016, arguing for a return to bipartisan cooperation. “We’ve always gotten along.” But to its critics, the Delaware Way can look like a culture of favor trading and cronyism. In Tigani’s case, prosecutors defined it in a sentencing filing as “a form of soft corruption, intersecting business and political interests, which has existed in this State for years.” The idea that Biden practices old-fashioned, relationship-driven politics is the knock he overcame from progressives in the Democratic primary. Claims that Biden is unscrupulous are a central theme of the reelection campaign of President Donald Trump, who — having faced impeachment for his efforts to pressure Ukrainian authorities into probing Biden and his son Hunter — has derided the former vice president as “Quid Pro Joe.” Tigani’s account reveals the most extensive effort known to date to investigate the question of whether Biden’s inner circle has been complicit in corruption. In the end, a team of federal agents with a confidential informant and a hidden camera could not make that case — even if Tigani says he walked away with an unshakable suspicion that the affable former vice president knows more about the Delaware Way than he lets on. ‘Thanks for all the help’ On a morning in late September, 2010, Tigani left his 24,000-square foot colonial mansion in Westover Hills, near Wilmington — among the finest private residences in Delaware — and pulled into a Royal Farms in nearby Newark to pick up a snack. On his way back to his car, two men were waiting for him, holding up badges. They introduced themselves as agents of the FBI and the IRS, and explained they wanted to talk to Tigani about Joe Biden and Ruth Ann Minner, Delaware’s former governor. The federal agents confronted Tigani about reimbursing others for Biden campaign donations, a practice he said he immediately confessed to. “I told them everything I had done,” he recalled. “I didn’t try to hide it. I didn’t think it was illegal.” The practice of reimbursing others for donations was a common method of circumventing campaign contribution limits in the era before the Supreme Court’s 2010 Citizens United ruling, which legalized unlimited election spending by corporations. Tigani and the agents remained at the gas station, talking, for the next four hours. There was a lot to discuss. Tigani’s ties to the Bidens ran deep. His father, Robert, was classmates with Joe at Archmere Academy, a Catholic school in the northeast corner of Delaware, where they played football together in the late 1950s. In the early ’80s, when Tigani was an adolescent, his father and stepmother socialized regularly with Joe and Jill Biden, and Tigani got to know Hunter and Beau, who were about his age. Their broader social circles remained intertwined into adulthood, even if Tigani and the Bidens were not best of friends — “I’m in the alcohol business, and Beau didn’t drink,” he noted. But in addition to making him rich, Tigani’s family business, NKS Distributors, gave him reason to stay in touch with Delaware politicians. Alcohol distributors act as legally mandated middlemen between producers and retail stores, as part of a regulatory structure that emerged after Prohibition to prevent consolidation. As players in a heavily regulated industry, distributors have an incentive to remain politically engaged, and Tigani did just that. He gave generously to politicians up and down the rungs of Delaware politics, mostly Democrats in that deep blue state, and spearheaded a successful 2003 push to legalize Sunday liquor sales. When Beau Biden set out on his first campaign for state attorney general, in 2005, Tigani pitched in with fundraising. When Joe Biden mounted his second presidential bid two years later, Tigani made for a natural ally, and set about bundling donations. In the pre-Citizens United era, bundlers — people who could tap their networks to solicit the maximum allowable contributions from dozens of contacts — played a paramount role in financing presidential campaigns. In Tigani’s case, he would bundle contributions from NKS employees, their spouses and other associates, and then reimburse them from company funds, a practice that was illegal. Tigani says he knew that the reimbursements were a way of getting around individual contribution limits, but that he had no idea they were criminal. He said he understood reimbursements to be a widespread, accepted practice, and named as an example another prominent Delaware executive who he said was known to regularly reimburse employees for political contributions. So in late August 2007, Tigani held what the government’s presentence investigation report later called a “sham” fundraiser for Biden, soliciting 17 checks from his employees, only to reimburse them for the donations from company funds. Tigani disputes the government’s assertion that he held fake events in order to conceal his reimbursements. In reality, he said, Biden campaign staffers would simply swing by NKS headquarters to pick up bundled checks, and that the company would often lay out a spread of coffee and donuts for whoever happened to be in the office that day. He said he and Biden staffers would jokingly refer to the no-frills handoffs as fundraisers. Tigani’s involvement with the Biden campaign deepened two months later, he said, when he attended the Democratic primary debate at Drexel University in Philadelphia as one of 10 personal guests of Biden’s campaign, seated next to Beau’s wife, Hallie. After the debate — at which a poor showing by Hillary Clinton made more of a mark than anything the Delaware senator said — the Biden crew retired for its after-party to Smokey Joe’s, a campus dive bar near the University of Pennsylvania that was once name-checked by Gerald Ford in a Penn commencement address. At the Smokey Joe’s after-party, Tigani recalled, the Delaware senator approached him with a big ask: The campaign was surging into contention in Iowa and needed $100,000 for billboards in the state. Tigani told Biden he could deliver. Later that evening, Tigani recalled, Hunter and Beau, a Penn graduate, broached the contribution again. When Tigani reiterated his willingness to help out, he said, the brothers passed him off to the campaign’s finance director, Dennis Toner, who had also served as Biden’s deputy chief of staff in the Senate. Tigani said that when he discussed the contribution with the Biden brothers and Toner, he made reference to money allotted in his company budget for such contributions. And he said that when he discussed the contribution with Toner at Smokey Joe’s, the finance director asked him, “How many people do you have who you can trust?” Tigani said he responded, “All of them.” Tigani said he took Toner’s question as an indication the finance director knew the bundler was working with his employees to circumvent contribution limits. Toner disputed Tigani’s account, saying he has never asked Tigani any question along these lines. Though the bulk of his bundled contributions came before October, Tigani said he became more involved with the campaign after the Drexel debate, participating in several calls with Biden’s finance team and other top outside fundraisers, according to emails he provided. A pre-sentence investigation report later filed by federal prosecutors also notes Tigani’s participation in conference calls with the campaign to plan fundraising. In the run-up to the Iowa caucuses, the campaign continued to lean on Tigani for support. On December 12, a Biden staffer emailed Tigani’s assistant with a list of NKS employees, noting how much money they had given to date and whether their significant other had given, according to the pre-sentence investigation report. Within about a day, according to the report, Tigani had collected six checks for the Biden campaign from NKS employees listed in the email. Tigani said he considers the speed with which members of the Biden campaign — as well as other politicians and campaigns he raised funds for — expected to collect bundled donations to be another sign that they were complicit in straw donations. “They ask to pick up checks the very next day,” he said. “If you’re really going to go out and solicit other people to give their own money, it takes a while. If you’re going to use your own money, it doesn’t take any time.” As the first caucuses drew near, Joe Biden himself emailed Tigani, writing, “I know you did a tremendous amount last week, thank you. As we close in on Iowa, we are trying to get any and all contributions still outstanding into our headquarters by COB tomorrow. At your convenience, could you please let me know if you believe you will be able to collect any checks by COB tomorrow. If so, it would go a long way towards helping us increase our media buy in Iowa. I am on the ground here now, and with the cash we can surprise a lot of people.” Biden concluded his note with “Thanks for all the help, I wont forget it” and signed it “Joe.” In total, Tigani made $72,000 in illegal contributions to the Biden campaign through straw donors, according to the report, but the Delaware senator never hit his stride. Biden placed fifth in Iowa in early January 2008 and promptly dropped out. Tigani remained in the senator’s orbit: Later that month, Biden sent Tigani an impersonal email, attaching a POLITICO article about his post-campaign return to the Senate. Within days of Barack Obama selecting the Delaware senator as his running mate in August, Tigani wrote an email to executives at Anheuser-Busch, touting his ties. “I was the number one fundraiser for [Biden]’s bid, and will play a role in his new campaign as well as his son’s role as a future senator,” Tigani wrote in the August 29 email, which later emerged in court proceedings. “They are very good and close friends, and I know we can take advantage of that role as needed.” Tigani said that around this time he had been seeking to set up a meeting with Biden for beer industry executives, but those efforts were derailed by a dispute with his father, Robert, over control of the family business. Confronted later by the government with his boast to his fellow beer executives, Tigani backed off the claim that he could call in favors with the Bidens. But as Biden’s fortunes rose, Tigani continued to enjoy the sort of special access that is typical of big donors. He attended Biden’s vice presidential debate against Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin in St. Louis in October and Obama’s inauguration festivities the following January, where he said he exchanged pleasantries with the new vice president at a private event for donors. A fateful encounter with the FBI All was not well, however. Tigani’s dispute with his father over the family business escalated into a legal battle, and the summer after the inauguration, Robert Tigani’s side alleged that Christopher had mishandled company money. The family court battle also opened Tigani’s relationships with politicians up to scrutiny, starting with former Gov. Minner. In April 2010, the News Journal, a Delaware newspaper, relying on flight records that emerged in litigation, reported that, while in office, Minner had flown from Wilmington to Quebec City with Tigani and a lobbyist on a private jet Tigani had chartered. The paper soon followed up with an investigation by reporter Maureen Milford — the primary local chronicler of Tigani’s saga — alleging that Tigani had gotten a “sweet deal” in leasing state land to build an NKS warehouse during Minner’s administration. Tigani disputes that characterization of the deal, but the heat was now on. In September, the feds surprised him at the Royal Farms gas station. A month later, Beau Biden’s office sued NKS, seeking to reduce the term of the lease from 66 years to five, alleging that the state had intended to agree to the shorter term all along, and that the 66-year-term was the result of a “scrivener’s error.” “No one should be able to benefit from a mistake at the expense of the citizens, especially in a public lease,” Beau Biden said in announcing the suit. Tigani’s gas station encounter had left him with the impression that he was not a target, but in November, while he was traveling in New Jersey, he said he received a call from an FBI agent asking him to return home. When he arrived, agents were waiting in his driveway and handed him a target letter, an official notification that the government intended to prosecute him. He said he broke down in tears and that agents offered to take away the gun he kept in his house so that he would not kill himself, but he declined. In December, the News Journal reported that the FBI was investigating the land deal — Tigani and Minner confirmed to the paper they had been questioned — and that several people had testified before a grand jury. In February 2011, Tigani retained Abbe Lowell, then with the firm Mcdermott Will & Emery. The star criminal defense attorney — who went on to represent former South Carolina Sen. John Edwards and Jared Kushner — had bad news for his new client. Tigani recalled Lowell telling him, “Chris, normally I’d say, ‘Yeah, we want to take your case.’ But you already sat down with the FBI and told them everything. I don’t even talk to the FBI in court. I don’t even say hi to them in court.” Tigani, who had been fired from his job at NKS, was also running out of money for high-priced lawyers. But, he recalled, before parting ways with Lowell, the attorney brokered a meeting for Tigani with the Justice Department. Lowell declined to comment. At the U.S. attorney’s office in Wilmington, Tigani and a public defender met with acting U.S. Attorney David Weiss, Kravetz, and FBI agents. They asked Tigani to help them investigate possible political corruption. Tigani said he had reservations. He believed some of the government’s suspects were innocent and some of their theories — including one about Tigani’s unsuccessful efforts to broker a meeting between the vice president and liquor distributors — were wrong. “They loosely connected Sunday liquor sales, a land deal and a meeting with Joe Biden,” he recalled. The feds also thought they would find outright bribery in Delaware’s politics. He said the agents believed their investigation could ultimately lead them to Biden, Biden’s longtime ally Minner and then-Governor Jack Markell, who was less firmly entrenched in the state’s Democratic establishment. “They thought at least on the state level they were taking bribes, and on the federal level they were complicit, and that’s how it works,” Tigani recalled. Markell told POLITICO that he never heard from federal investigators about the matter and was not aware they had expressed any interest in him. Minner did not respond to a request for comment. Tigani said he did not share the agents’ belief that bribery was taking place and maintained that he gained little influence in return for his contributions. “Tigani … explained to agents that he made these political contributions in an effort to gain access, but that he never actually received such access or sought to take advantage of the relationship,” prosecutors later wrote in a court filing related to his sentencing. But Tigani said he acknowledged the existence of a pay-to-play culture in Delaware politics — in which gifts and contributions allow businesspeople to curry favor with officials — and he believed politicians and their staff were complicit in the election law violations being committed to fund their campaigns. Mostly, he was eager to reduce the time he spent in prison away from his two young children. He agreed to serve as a confidential informant, taping phone calls and wearing concealed recording devices in meetings with Delaware political figures — ranging from small-time local lobbyists to associates of the sitting vice president. The agents planned to have Tigani start small, he said, getting comfortable with the equipment and his role, during interactions with low-level players, before working his way up to bigger targets. Wearing a wire Tigani’s first undercover outing did not go well. In mid-March he was dispatched to Dover Downs, a hotel, casino and horse-racing complex, where he was to meet with several state legislators and lobbyists at a bar, Doc Magrogan’s, and draw them out on the inner workings of Delaware politics. Beforehand, he went to the FBI office in Dover, where he spent two hours working with his handlers — one female and two male FBI agents — on a script to draw out the subjects. He learned he’d be accompanied on the assignment by the female agent, who would pose as his girlfriend. Tigani recalled that when he remarked to one of the handlers that the ruse was plausible because the woman was his type — brown hair, brown eyes — the handler responded, “We know. That’s why we picked her.” Agents had researched Tigani’s prior love interests in order to cast the operation. “Jesus Christ. Don’t you guys have anything better to do?” Tigani recalled responding. His handlers taped a wire on him, and cut up his shirt to insert a small camera where one of his buttons had been. In a brief back-and-forth, agents assured Tigani the camera sticking out of his shirt was not as conspicuous as he thought it was. Then, it was off to the races. Inside the bar at Dover Downs, Tigani felt nervous and uncomfortable. He excused himself to go to the bathroom, where, after momentarily forgetting about his wire, he was overcome by a sudden jolt of self-awareness. “It’s all just hitting me that these guys are listening to me going to the bathroom,” he recalled. Back at the bar, he balked at drawing the subjects into incriminating conversations, believing the bureau was barking up the wrong tree. “They tried to manufacture a case against people who really didn’t know anything,” Tigani said. His handlers were not pleased with that first performance, but Tigani continued to set up calls and meetings at their direction, starting with a local businessman who had somehow popped up on the bureau’s radar. Tigani would meet with agents to debrief on his conversations at out-of-the-way locations, including at a McDonald’s in the small town of Smyrna, north of Dover, according to a 2011 email in which he recorded a partial log of the hours he put into his cooperation. Evidence of bribery schemes, if any existed, proved elusive, but the investigation picked up steam later that spring, when Tigani got together with a local lobbyist. The lobbyist was a former Biden Senate staffer and a friend of both Tigani’s and the Biden sons. Tigani described his interactions with the lobbyist on the condition that the person not be named, because Tigani said he believed the person had done nothing wrong. Tigani said that during a social get-together he drew the lobbyist out on the practice of bundlers exceeding donation limits through the use of straw donors. Tigani recalled pushing the lobbyist on whether Biden, his sons, Toner and the rest of the campaign finance operation were aware of the use of straw donors. “How is it that these people don’t know?” he recalled asking. “Of course they know,” he said the lobbyist responded. “Of course they know. That’s why they call you.” “It was a ‘Come on, you can’t be serious’ kind of answer,” Tigani recalled. “Of course they know.” Tigani said he was excited by the breakthrough, but he had neglected to record the conversation. So, a short while later, he said he arranged to meet with the lobbyist in the wood-paneled bar room at the Columbus Inn in Wilmington. This time, wearing a wire, Tigani said he elicited the same admissions from the lobbyist on tape. Tigani said he did not press the lobbyist to provide details of how he knew this to be true, because the lobbyist was so close to the Bidens that there was no reason to doubt his authority. In an email, the lobbyist wrote that he was not involved in campaign fundraising, “nor was I ever in a position to speak about [the Bidens’] campaign operations.” The lobbyist praised Biden’s integrity, saying, “I know he never would have tolerated any illegal behavior from supporters or donors.” The lobbyist did not respond to follow-up questions. Another former Biden aide expressed skepticism that the finance team was aware of bundlers making straw donations or actively sought illegal contributions. The former aide, who was involved in fundraising for the 2007 presidential campaign and spoke on the condition of anonymity, described the campaign as “starved for cash” and its fundraising as “incredibly anemic.” The finance team, he said, was in a difficult position, because its candidate was not interested in cultivating donors. “Biden ain’t going to call anybody,” the former aide said. “He hates having to kiss anyone’s ass.” But, the former aide said that, to his knowledge, Toner and other fundraising staff never resorted to illegal methods. “They were always on the up and up about it,” he said. Toner said he never sought out bundlers who could reimburse donors or had knowledge of bundlers engaging in indirect forms of reimbursement. He said he did not know of Tigani’s crimes before Tigani pleaded guilty to them. For the investigators, Tigani recalled, the conversations with the lobbyist represented a turning point. His handlers turned their attention from possible bribery to the Biden campaign and its possible complicity in election law violations. “When I confirmed with him that yes in fact they do know about it and they know about it with a lot of other people and they target a lot of other people in my situation to do the same exact thing,” he said. “That’s when we started to pursue that angle more aggressively.” Because Tigani was already under heavy press scrutiny, he said, his handlers did not push him to set up a prearranged meeting with the vice president, instead looking for opportunities to record more spontaneous encounters with Biden. “I did try to go to places where he was,” Tigani recalled. “I know that he had a couple of scheduled events when he was going to be in Delaware where we were going to try to make a chance meeting.” But Tigani said he was never able to swing an encounter with Biden, instead settling for others closer than he to the vice president, whom his handlers hoped to use him to incriminate and then secure cooperation from others in Biden’s orbit. “What they used to say all the time was, ‘We follow the evidence where it takes us.’ And the idea is to get one person implicated and then they implicate the next person,” he said. “The idea was to see how high up the chain they could go.” ‘Hi to anyone else who is listening’ On June 6, Tigani made calls to Toner, the lobbyist and a prominent Delaware businessman who was a fellow Biden donor, according to the 2011 email in which he logged his informant work. Tigani’s first attempts to contact Toner failed, he recalled. “Toner was hard to get on the phone because he’s smart,” Tigani said. But on June 7, the two had a phone conversation, according to Tigani’s log. On the call, Tigani said he told Toner that the press was starting to sniff around his relationship with the campaign. “The premise was that the newspaper is asking me about these contributions. You guys obviously know about this,” Tigani recalled. He said Toner responded, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, Chris. I don’t even know who else is listening on the phone.” The conversation lasted only a minute or two, according to Tigani. “I said, ‘Remember when we were at Drexel?’ He said, ‘I remember, but I don’t have anything else to say about it.’” Toner’s apparent awareness that he was being recorded came as a blow to the FBI agents on the case, Tigani said, and brought about the beginning of the end of his attempted cooperation. The day after the call, FBI agents visited Toner at his home to ask him about Tigani and notify him that he might be called to testify before a grand jury, which he later did. On June 9, Tigani pleaded guilty to two charges related to his Biden campaign bundling: one count of making an illegal corporate contribution to a federal campaign committee and one count of making illegal conduit campaign contributions. He also pleaded guilty to two tax evasion charges. When news of the guilty plea broke, a Biden spokeswoman distanced the vice president and his campaign from Tigani, saying, “We had absolutely no knowledge of these activities.” Though his case was now public, Tigani’s informant work was not quite over, shifting, he said, to focus on the businessman close to Biden, but Tigani’s calls with the businessman went nowhere. By summer, Tigani’s role in the investigation was petering out. The last item in the log records a meeting with one of his handlers on July 15. In February 2012, as Tigani awaited sentencing, the Justice Department officials overseeing his case, Weiss and Kravetz, wrote to Walter Matthews, an official at the U.S. Probation Office, to detail Tigani’s informant work. The letter, obtained by POLITICO, states that Tigani’s attempted cooperation lasted close to a year and entailed 12 meetings with FBI agents. The Justice Department officials wrote that Tigani had recorded telephone and in-person conversations on 17 occasions with six people, including “a high-level official of the Biden for President campaign”; “a former Biden staffer now working as a lobbyist” and “a prominent Wilmington businessman.” The letter states that Tigani’s attempted cooperation did not lead to charges against others because some of the information he provided pertained to activities that were outside the statute of limitations, some of it related to conduct that was not a federal crime, and some of it could not be corroborated. “The information provided by defendant was valuable, however, to the extent that it permitted federal agents to compile detailed historical information regarding election offenses and ‘soft corruption’ in Delaware state government over nearly a decade, which included conduct allegedly committed by federal and state officeholders and/or their campaigns,” the letter stated. “Such information will provide federal agents with a frame of reference for future public corruption investigations in this State.” A footnote, alluding to the voluminous coverage of Tigani’s travails in the local papers, states, “Defendant’s status as a Delaware tabloid celebrity likely hampered his ability to procure admissions during recorded conversations. For example, one subject who was recorded by defendant stated at the end of the call, ‘Hi to anyone else who is listening.’” Matthews declined to comment. Kim Reeves, a spokesperson for the U.S. Attorney’s office in Wilmington — where Weiss returned to serve as U.S. attorney in 2018 — also declined to comment. In an email, Kravetz, whose work for the Justice Department ended this month, reiterated the government’s finding that Tigani’s donations to Biden did not buy him access. “There was no corroborating evidence that anyone in the campaign engaged in criminal conduct,” said Kravetz, now a law professor at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh. “At no time was there any basis to believe that the Vice President engaged in any wrongdoing.” Kravetz declined to comment on the specifics of Tigani’s attempted cooperation. In March 2012, Tigani was sentenced to two years in federal prison, and ordered to report to Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. In December, he was transferred to a prison in Delaware and arraigned on nine state charges, to which he pleaded not guilty. The following May, Tigani pleaded guilty to three of the state counts, receiving probation. At the sentencing, the judge, William Carpenter, expressed his view that other players were escaping justice. “It’s unfortunate you are the only person standing here,” Carpenter told him, according to the News Journal. “It’s unfortunate the investigation has not led to others.” A ‘pay to play’ culture The question of whether illegal activity extended beyond Tigani hung over Delaware politics from the moment he entered his guilty plea in June 2011. Soon after, federal authorities referred evidence of possible state crimes unrelated to Biden’s presidential campaign to the Delaware attorney general’s office. Beau Biden recused himself and appointed E. Norman Veasey, a former chief justice of the Delaware Supreme Court, to conduct a special counsel’s investigation. In July 2011, the News Journal reported that Veasey had given thousands of dollars to the campaigns of both Joe and Beau Biden, and that his firm — Weil, Gotshal and Manges — ranked among the top sources of donations to the vice president’s recent campaigns. “I give to a lot of campaigns,” Veasey told the paper. As Veasey undertook his probe, more prosecutions were slow to materialize. In September 2013, the month Tigani left prison for a halfway house, prosecutors finally nabbed another conviction. Dover developer Michael Zimmerman pleaded guilty to a state charge that he made illegal donations to Markell’s 2008 campaign. Another businessman entered into a non-prosecution agreement with the state over charges that he reimbursed employees for donations to Markell. In December, Veasey issued his report, which identified “a compelling need to reform the ‘pay to play’ culture out of which the conduct that led to this investigation may have grown. In addition to the reimbursement schemes, the investigation identified a widespread practice of gifts and political contributions to candidates and elected officials from which a reasonable person could infer that the gifts or contributions were intended to curry favor with elected officials.” The Veasey report listed 19 politicians in the state who had received straw donations from Tigani, including Beau Biden. (The federal pre-sentence investigation report found Tigani made $9,600 in unlawful contributions to Beau in 2005). Beyond the three businessmen who had already faced legal consequences, the report did not recommend further charges. The report explained that investigators declined to pursue cases against politicians or their aides, saying they denied any knowledge of illegal reimbursement schemes and that investigators did not find a sufficient basis to pursue that avenue. “Although some witnesses made vague references or speculated to the effect that candidates or their agents knew about or suggested reimbursements, investigators did not find credible evidence to support a charge,” the report said. The report also acknowledged the shifting landscape of campaign finance. Since Tigani had committed his campaign finance violations, the Citizens United ruling had made unlimited corporate contributions to political action committees legal, giving companies permission to circumvent the campaign contribution limit on a scale much grander than his five-and-six-figure bundled contributions. The report noted that the proliferation of PACs in recent years removed much of the motive for engaging in straw donor schemes. It concluded by recommending a slate of modest reforms. Delaware Republicans decried the report — which landed between Christmas and New Year’s — as a cover-up, arguing that prosecuting a couple of donors would do little to change the state’s political culture. Tigani left the halfway house in January 2014, financially devastated by years of legal fights. After his release, he said, a third party, whom he declined to name, informed him that his handlers had tried and failed to flip the lobbyist. Tigani said he was told that agents went to the lobbyist’s home and played him a tape of his conversation with Tigani, but that the lobbyist lawyered up and refused to cooperate. “They discussed charging him but he had not actually committed a crime, he just had knowledge of a crime,” Tigani said he was told, “so the investigation had nowhere left to go.” He said the lobbyist — who did not respond to a question about interactions with the FBI — no longer speaks to him. Tigani has kept a low profile since leaving prison, and he said he wanted to make clear he was not seeking publicity. A POLITICO reporter reached out to him over Facebook messenger in August 2019 to request an interview for an article published later that month. Tigani, who said he rarely logs on to Facebook, did not respond to the message until eight months later, and he agreed to a phone call about the Delaware political scene. On the call, he described his informant work off the record, and several weeks later he agreed to go on the record. Tigani said he wanted to tell his story in part to highlight its redemptive aspects, especially the fact that he used his time in prison to learn the law, and that since his release he has been representing himself in the ongoing legal battle over control of his family business, going toe-to-toe with high-paid lawyers without the benefit of any formal legal education. Tigani, who has expressed support for Trump on social media, said he also wanted to tell his story because he felt the Bidens had abandoned him, calling them “fair weather friends.” For the first time, he said, he will not be voting for Biden in November. He said he also wanted to share his side of the story in full because he felt unfairly scapegoated by media coverage and prosecutors for participating in a political culture that was widespread in Delaware. He said he is irked by the feeling that politicians benefit from an ability to maintain plausible deniability while others take the fall for law-breaking. “Nothing ever happens to them because why would it?” he said. “Why would they admit that they knew what was going on when they can deny it and nobody can prove it otherwise?” Tigani said he last saw Joe Biden in May 2014, after his release from prison. The two encountered each other at Founders Day, an annual celebration at the Tatnall School, a private school attended by Tigani’s kids and some of Biden’s grandchildren. “He came over to me and gave me the Biden double handshake and he said, ‘Chris, I hope everything’s going well with you,’ and I said, ‘Couldn’t be better, Mr. Vice President. Couldn’t be better.”

(As originally published with photo gallery and video, Tue, April 5th 2022, 4:00 PM EDT) CHARLOTTE COUNTY, Fla. (CBS12) — Two sheriff’s deputies made an amazing rescue and it all happened to be caught on their car’s dash-cam. A man crashed and became trapped in his burning car, very early Saturday morning. The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office said neighbors heard the loud crash and called 911. The callers described the flames as being five-feet high and said they heard a man screaming for help. Watch as deputies raced to the scene. The area where they drove was totally dark — until they got to the scene of a car crash. Then, it was lit up by flames, and a man was trapped inside his burning vehicle. According to the sheriff’s office, the deputies ran to the victim but found his seat belt caught around his neck and upper body. The heat from the flames were unbearable, so they couldn’t stay too close for too long. The heroes ran back for a fire extinguisher and sprayed the area to get closer. Eventually, they used a pocketknife to free the man and carry him far enough away to safety, with the help of a good Samaritan. SEE ALSO: Tiger Woods on track to play The Masters “You truly never know what the night will hold,” Sheriff Bill Prummell said. “The job of a deputy is to act bravely in the face of danger, regardless of what lies ahead. These young men did just that. I couldn’t be prouder.” Fire/EMS workers provided medical care and took the victim to a trauma unit. They say the victim is still in critical condition but expected to survive.

predicting the worst for Reed and Sue, it is with great sadness that Comics Fairplay must announce it's clairvoyance to be dead to rights. Fantastic Four #540 showcased a nine page fight that made a 41 year marriage splinter. Tell me how that is right? I just can't justify it. Number one problem: The dialogue was contrived and cheesy. Sample 1: Reed: "We have to talk." Sue: "I think we're a little past talking now, don't you think, Reed?" Reed: "I'm doing this for the same reason I've done anything Sue! Because it's the law Because it's right!" Sue: "It's not right, can't you see that?" Reed: "Damn it, listen to me.." Reed: "Can't you understand, Sue?" Reed: "I'm doing this because I'm trying to protect you!" Sue: "Protect Me?" BAM! Invisible tube crunches through entire building. Sue: "Do I look like I need protecting, Reed? Do I?" As a reader, I can't reconcile myself to their emotions. It feels very cut and paste, without any heart. Making Sue out to be a badass while Reed tries to justify his lack of balls is disheartening to say the least. Number two problem: Tying the story into Amazing Spider-Man #535 to make the pieces fit just makes it seem forced. The ending here and in that issue- using some random uncle of Reed's involved in the 1950's Congressional Communist witch hunt- is really reaching. Why haven't we heard about this guy before? Reed has been through so much adversity before, that it is strange to me that we are just now hearing about said uncle. When Reed decided to take over Latveria from issues #503 to #508, where was this concern for following government orders? Back then, Sue felt it was wrong, and Reed was the badass. How did we go through such a 180 degree personality turn since then? In that story arc, Reed pretty much told the U.S. govenment to shove it. Number Three Problem: Ben going to Canada seems like a desperate last resort. As the most sane person in this Civil War mess, I appreciate his refusal to take sides, but it is disapointing to me that they would take him out of the game. I also can't imagine that Ben would let Sue and Reed split without more then a question. This is a family, after all? Number Four Problem: Where were Franklin and Valeria? Did Reed and Sue just shuffle them off to the moon with the Inhumans? I can't imagine that their children wouldn't be more important to them then that. How do the kids feel? Who is caring for them? I refuse to accept the fact that Sue and Reed would just ignore them and fight it out. Sue would never cause the property damage she did knowing that her children would be exposed to it. It just doesn't ring true. Conclusion: Breaking up a marriage for the sake of artistic license stinks. Hey, let's break up the Fantastic Four so that Civil War can be more dramatic! The readers will eat it up with a spoon. They're just a bunch of Marvel zombies anyway, and we know what is best for them. I wish this Civil War crap would get over with. I also wish that J. Michael Straczynski's tenure would end much sooner then it is. It is a shame to have a great artist like Mike McKone draw such drivel. Once again Marvel is driving me away from a book I have loved for years. I am not going to pretend to like it.

I have written a payroll system in React.js. Using airtable as the database and netlify as hosting for my web app. When in development, I run in my localhost and I can update my records without any error 502. But when I deploy my production to netlify, it gave api update records error 502. This 502 error sounds familiar and maybe this is the cause. I have a hunch that Netlify Functions based on Amazon Lambda currently only supports Node 12 [source] . So something like a conditional chaining operator (?.) that is only supported in Node 14, a version you are likely using locally would cause this experience.

Reolink Year in Review 2023 How ColorX Technology Turn Night into Day Reolink App v4.43 Released I have a reolink duo floodlight wifi camera and it's great but the only issue is when it detect animals, it leaves as 2 minute video and I cannot locate where the camera has claimed it has detected an animal and waiting 2 minute for the creature to pop up is feels like it could be a false alarm. So highlighting the animal or person for a bit(2 second red square) alongside the time on the detection tutle and using the frame of the creature as main detection picture would make reolink app awesome. @reolink-fiona would also be cool to have the app highlight the animal whenever it state its have detected one. Sometimes, it says it have detected on but I can not find where. Would also be cool if it send a snap of it to the main frame of the recordings. Hi there! Join the Commnunity to get all the latest news, tips and more!

I'm new to security. I want to know the procedure to provide authorization to a single user for a particular transaction code. I know the SU53 or the ST01 trace and how to find the objects being checked. But what I want to know is how you actually add them to the user profile. I do not want other users to get access to the transaction (for eg when I assign it to a role, other users having that role will also get the accesss?) I have tried looking at resources, reading notes etc. but haven't found a step-by-step explanation of this. you should open the role for editiong with transaction PFCG and then switch to Menu. Here you can add the Transaction to the role. Next switch to the tab authorizations. Open the Profile and maintain the missing authorizations. Activate the profile and the role and you should be done.

Since the latest update, when I create a new message with Verizon Messages and start entering someone's name or phone number, it lists email addresses as well. Very annoying, because often the email for a contact is listed ABOVE the phone number for the same contact. So, while I think I'm sending someone a standard SMS message, I'm actually sending them an email from SMS. How do I make Verizon Messages stop showing email address as contact options? Or at the very least, how do I make it prefer phone numbers instead? This is an SMS app, not an email app, so this behavior is not very desirable. Note: If I go to the People app, I cannot even find the same contacts with emails only, so I'm not sure where Verizon Messages is even finding many of these email only contacts... Thank you for your message! The developers are aware of this bug and are working on the fix. We hope to release the patch next week. Thank you for your patience!

Industry: Food & Beverage Products: Backpacking and packaged foods Co-founder and CEO Lillian Hoodes is guiding her outdoor-oriented food manufacturer to healthy growth with tasty, better-for-you recipes. The prepackaged, dehydrated meal has long been a staple for campers and backpackers, but the category hasn’t changed much since it emerged in the 1960s. But Hoodes is upending tradition with TrailFork. Two years after launch, the company’s products are in 60 outdoor stores across the nation, showing there’s room for growth and innovation in the industry. The vegetarian, dehydrated backpacking meals also boast the industry’s only compostable bags. TrailFork is now in an accelerator program after raising $500,000 through a seed round at SeedInvest as it seeks to grow into more outlets, including grocery stores, with plans to expand into a manufacturing facility. In other words, Hoodes has a lot on her plate. “I saw the need as a consumer myself for a better-for-you option,” she says. “I am sort of a foodie myself and there wasn’t anything on the market that I felt good about eating, and there was also not anything on the market that satisfied my demand to minimize my own environmental impact. So what we’re trying to offer to consumers is a better-for-the-consumer option in terms of health and nutritional profile and a way for these folks who are moving out to places like Salt Lake City or people who are vacationing in wilderness spaces to just become more cognizant of the impact they’re having.” Hoodes says that many legacy players in the space have traditionally offered meals that weren’t the best for hikers and backpackers. The nutritional profiles of many foods were high in sodium and low in protein and healthy fats. “It was basically trail junk food, dehydrated junk food,” she asserts, noting that she’s starting to see some changes with companies using better ingredients. “But I didn’t find that anything was specifically designed for somebody who’s spending a lot of time in the backcountry.” While a typical meal at home might be 400 calories, that’s not enough for someone who’s been out all day hiking. “If you’re out on the trail, you’re probably at altitude, you might have been hiking for 10 miles, you’re carrying a pack. Your nutritional requirements are just a lot more significant and in our meals the portions are quite large . . . between 500 and 700 calories,” Hoodes says. “The protein content is really high. Some of the meals are close to 30 grams of protein per serving and they’re just much more designed for somebody who’s actually spending time outside and needs a lot of fuel.” The company sources ingredients from U.S.-based companies, including one in Arvada. Its plant-based proteins include oats, soy, and chia, but the company is experimenting with other sources as well. “We know a lot of people have trouble with soy, so we’re experimenting with sunflower seed protein and a couple of other things,” Hoodes says. TrailFork currently rents space in a commissary to produce its meals. It previously used a contract co-packer to mix and package its meals, but brought manufacturing back in-house for a variety of reasons. The company will use some of the money from its seed round to build a kitchen in its warehouse space. “We’d like to be able to manufacture onsite,” Hoodes says. “Largely because renting space in a commissary is more expensive in the long run than us just installing some equipment and doing it ourselves.” However, the bulk of the funding will support marketing and advertising, she adds. “We’re also embarking on a packaging redesign and we’re planning on launching into grocery soon. And so we’ll be doing the redesign with that in mind.” The foray into grocery will start with breakfasts at natural foods retailers and grow into other categories at the mass-market level. “Although I do think that we have appeal in wider grocery, we just want to start with a really small targeted market, make sure that our velocity is what we wanted it to be, and then expand from there,” says Hoodes. TrailFork has also supported thru-hikers on their trips after some hikers reached out to the company to see if it could ship food and other supplies to them on the trail; some of these customers placed orders on the site, while others shipped boxes to the company’s headquarters that TrailFork then sent with food to certain addresses. “What we’re going to try to do is actually facilitate that and we’ll be doing that as a pilot program in 2020,” Hoodes says. “We’re seeking five participants and then with that data and experience will sort of formalize the program with a planned launch in 2021.” The shipments could include replacement clothing and footwear as well as food, she explains. “We will be the only food company offering that sort of thing.” Challenges: “Figuring out the sweet spot between growing quickly and in a way that’s exciting and kind of keeps the fire burning, but then also managing that growth so that we don’t get overextended,” Hoodes says. Opportunities: Hoodes points to broad food trends that dovetail into TrailFork’s business model: “I think the opportunity is that the American consumer is simultaneously eating more quickly and tastily, and they’re also more savvy in terms of the food that they’re consuming, and there’s a bit of white space in the market in terms of a product that will fit both.” Needs: “We are growing quickly and we need capital to support that growth,” Hoodes says. “That and sales support — not just getting into a store and establishing an account, but making sure the product moves.”

Vitamin B12 the silent deficiency! Vitamin B12 depletion is much more common than previously thought, and often not diagnosed; especially in the over-60 population. In fact, it’s believed that almost one in four women have deficient levels of this vital vitamin. Vitamin B12 deficiency does not occur overnight. It starts with declining blood levels, then the levels decline at a cellular level, leading to increased homocysteine levels and the finish is full blown anaemia. Equally disturbing are emerging signs that other age groups harbor suboptimal blood levels of B12 as well. Who is at greatest risk of Vitamin B12 deficiency? - Over 60 - On medication to help gastric ulceration, reflux, or discomfort - On diabetic medication such as metformin - Suffer with coeliac disease, gluten intolerance, Crohn’s disease and IBS suffers - Predisposed to miscarriages & infertility - Vegans & vegetarians Why is vitamin B12 so important? Your body depends on vitamin B12 for a host of functions, including… - Helping to maintain normal energy levels* - Promoting healthy neurological activity, including mental alertness* - Supporting normal homocysteine levels for healthy cardiac function* - Helping to ease occasional stress and sleeplessness* - Maintaining healthy cell growth and repair* - Promoting normal immune function* - Supporting normal metabolism of carbohydrates and fats* When your blood levels of vitamin B12 are low, one or more of these functions may be disrupted. * Without adequate blood levels of B12, you can experience symptoms related to low energy, mental fatigue, mood changes, sleep difficulties, and even occasional indigestion. * Your body relies on the efficient conversion of carbohydrates to glucose – your body’s source of fuel – just like your car needs to be able to use gas to run smoothly. Vitamin B12 plays a major role in that conversion in your body. * Likewise, B12 enables your body to convert fatty acids into energy as well. * Contrary to what you might have heard, there is no solid evidence that supplemental vitamin B12 helps you lose weight. Overall, vitamin B12 is a nutrient your body cannot do without for efficient, healthy metabolism of fats and carbohydrates. * How You Become Vitamin B12 Deficient The older you get, the more likely you are to have a vitamin B12 deficiency. The two ways that you become deficient in vitamin B12 are from not getting enough in your diet and from losing the ability to absorb it. The older you get, the more your digestive system breaks down, especially if you have been following the standard western diet. Specifically, the lining of your stomach gradually loses its ability to produce hydrochloric acid which releases vitamin B12 from your food. The use of antacids or anti-ulcer drugs will also lower your stomach acid secretion and decrease your ability to absorb vitamin B12. Infection with Helicobacter pylori, a common contributor to stomach ulcers, can also result in vitamin B12 deficiency. However, the main cause of vitamin B12 deficiency is a term researchers call food-cobalamin malabsorption syndrome. Cobalamin is the scientific term for vitamin B12. This typically results when your stomach lining loses its ability to produce intrinsic factor, which is a protein that binds to vitamin B12 and allows your body to absorb it at the end of your small intestine. The only way we know this is to do a blood test and find out. NEW Form of Vitamin B12 Not Found in Health Food and Vitamin Stores or regular Pharmacies! We recommend a new way to give yourself extra energy. Actually, a cutting edge way to feel more energised — without the jitteriness of caffeine. Adding B12 into your nutrient range is an excellent way to power up your energy. Make Sure Your Vitamin B12 Is Made from This… Otherwise, you could be wasting your time. How could that be? Well, the answer simply put is… not all types of B12 (cobalamins) are created equal. There are generally three main types of cobalamins used in B12 supplements… - Methyl cobalamin Even though cyanocobalamin B12 is probably the most popular form of B12 in supplements, I don’t believe it’s the most effective. That distinction goes to meth cobalamin (methyl B12). Methyl B12 is a wonderful methyl donor for undermethylations as well as supplementing B12. Compounded high strength Methyl B12 Oral solution, sublingual drops or liposomal cream are all excellent ways to increase your B12 levels. We make a solution where each dose you receive 5000 micrograms, research says that 5000 strength is equal to injectable form in effect. We also can provide B12 injections to help you increase your levels on a prescription. A great start is Methyl cobalamin (b12) sublingual drop 5000mcg/ml 30ml $45 dose per day 0.2-1ml What Critical Health Benefits Does this Vitamin Bring to the Table? For starters, vitamin B12 helps folic acid regulate the formation of red blood cells, and helps your body use iron. It is also needed for proper digestion, food absorption, carbohydrate and fat metabolism. It also helps keep your nervous system healthy by assisting the nerves of your body to function and communicate in an optimal manner. B12 also helps in cell formation and cellular longevity. Plus, it can support female reproductive health, and promote normal nerve growth and development by maintaining the fatty sheaths. These fatty sheaths play a vital role as they cover and protect your nerve endings. B12 is also critical for adrenal function and circulation and supports a healthy mood and feelings of well-being. And then there’s this — it also provides excellent support for your memory, mental clarity, and concentration. If You Avoid Meat, You Probably Need to Take B12 Vegans and vegetarians have an increased need for vitamin B12 Many people avoid red meats for a large variety of reasons. If you are one of them, you are at a high risk for developing vitamin B12 deficiency. Why? Because plant sources have virtually no vitamin B12. And oral forms of B12 in nearly all supplements are practically useless if purchased from over the counter as little is absorbed into your bloodstream. Studies suggest that 10% to 30% of patients taking Metformin show evidence of reduced vitamin B12 absorption. That’s why it is important to speak with your doctor to discuss the best way to maintain B12 levels when taking this medication. Now, if getting a good night’s sleep has also become increasingly more difficult for you, here’s… What Your Sleeping Difficulties May Be Trying to Tell You! If you suffer from sleeping difficulties, I recommend taking vitamin B12 during the day. B12 plays a vital role in melatonin production. Melatonin is the sleep hormone because it is responsible for letting you get a good night’s sleep. As you age, it becomes increasingly more difficult to get a good night’s sleep because your body becomes less efficient at making this hormone. And that’s why it’s a good idea to take B12 to help you sleep like a baby each night. Moreover, a vitamin b12 deficiency can have other annoying consequences too. Tiredness, weakness, poor eye health, loss of appetite, constipation and just feeling moody. Or how about loss of memory, nervousness and premature grey hair. If you have any of these then get a blood test today appointments can be made by emailing [email protected] or calling 07 3862 6000

Aixtron completes conversion into a European Company (SE) The company has converted from a German to European company as a commitment to its international orientation. Aixtron SE has confirmed the completion of the company’s conversion into a European Company. With today’s entry into the commercial register of the Aachen municipal court, Aixtron Aktiengesellschaft will in future operate and report as Aixtron SE. An SE legal entity is a public limited-liability company under European law. The supranational legal form reflects Aixtron’s European and international orientation and is a natural step in respect of Aixtron’s global operations and business development. Nearly half of Aixtron’s employees work abroad and more than 90 % of the company’s revenues are generated outside Germany. The conversion was approved by a large majority of shareholders at the Annual General Meeting in 2010. More than 94% of the represented share capital approved the Executive and Supervisory Board’s proposal of converting Aixtron AG into an SE. Negotiations with the employee representatives concerning the future employee participation in Aixtron SE were conducted in a very professional manner and were successfully concluded within the statutory period of six months. The Company’s headquarters will remain in Herzogenrath in the Aachen region. The two-tier system consisting of a Supervisory Board and an Executive Board will remain in effect as well. All current members of the Supervisory and Executive Board will retain their original functions in the corresponding boards in the SE. Further changes within the Aixtron Group in conjunction to the conversion are not planned. The shareholders of Aixtron AG will automatically become shareholders of Aixtron SE and their shareholders’ rights will not be affected by the conversion. There are also no changes to the manner or content of financial reporting as a result of the conversion to SE.

My boyfriend and I have a pretty complicated relationship and home life, if I can talk to you honestly. We love each other very, very much, but there is a lot of conflict between us on a regular basis. Part of this is certainly due to my own shortcomings; namely, my unfortunate mental health issues. One of the best ways to circumvent our nasty arguments is having time away from each other, when he goes out of town for the weekend to travel for work or to see family. I really love my time spent alone in the house, except for one small part. I always feel so incredibly guilty. Not about my man, he’s fine travelling alone, but about my energy expenditure in the house. You see, we reside in a very large home with an open floor plan. It’s great for us and our friends who come into town, but it’s a large house to heat or cool consistently. This is normally not a huge issue, because we feel like we utilize the central heating and cooling system quite responsibly, but I don’t feel that way when I’m home alone. Suddenly, I’m the only being who necessitates the furnace or AC unit. I’m the only soul that can feel uncomfortable and demand that the thermostat improves the indoor air quality. It makes no sense to pump high quality treated air into the entire 2800 square foot house when I’m only occupying 400 feet of it, but there’s not much other choice. These days, with the frigid outdoor air temperature and reluctance to power up the furnace, I don’t feel quite as relaxed or rejuvenated when my boyfriend goes out of town for the weekend.

When discussions about whether a pension should include a cost-of-living adjustment come up, the arguments often focus on what is "fair." That argument has force: the high inflation rates of the 1970s taught U.S. workers a tough lesson: if you retire on a fixed nominal income, inflation will nibble or gobble away at its purchasing power. Thus, Social Security benefits began to receive an automatic cost-of-living adjustment in 1975. Today, almost all state and local government pensions have some form of built-in cost-of-living adjustments, too. But making a promise about future payments is, ultimately, all about what you are able and willing to pay when the bills come due. In an otherwise completely forgettable song about 20 years ago, a group called Stetsasonic sang: "[J]ust like my mother used to say in the past/ Don't let your mouth write a check that your ass can't cash." A lot of state and local pension funds let their mouths write checks that they are no longer willing to cash. At some point, Social Security may make a similar decision. The National Association of State Retirement Administrators last month put out a "NASRA Issue Brief: Cost of Living Adjustments," which tallies how many states have been backing away from their COLA promises for retirees. The report states: "It has been estimated that an automatic COLA of one‐half of an assumed CPI of three percent, compounded, will add 11 percent to the cost of the retirement benefit. An automatic COLA of three percent, compounded, will add 26 percent to the cost of the benefit." Here's a map showing states that made changes in their COLA arrangements for retirees from 2009-2011 (although some of these changes are being challenged in court): states in white haven't made changes; in orange, changes affecting current retirees; in green, changes affecting new hires only; and in blue, changes affecting both new hires and current retirees. Here are some examples of how the COLA adjustments are happening: A number of states have COLAs that are not linked to inflation, but instead are just an automatic percentage amount each year. Some states (Colorado, Hawaii) have reduced the promised annual percentage increase. Other states have gone further and sought to eliminate any automatic COLA increases at all, while of course still leaving open the possibility that legislatures could increase pensions on an ad hoc basis in the future (Kansas, Washington, and Florida). Still other states have set up rules that the full COLA, or any COLA, would only be paid if the pension fund achieves either a certain annual return (Massachusetts) or achieves a certain level of funding (Minnesota, New Jersey, Oklahoma). Still other states have set a cap on either how much income the COLA will apply to (Maine) or a cap on how much the COLA can increase salary over the lifetime of a retiree (Nevada, Missouri). A number of states have tried several of these ideas. How likely are we to see similar changes as a way of addressing the problem of Social Security? The Social Security actuaries estimate that if the COLA for Social Security was adjusted to be the rate of inflation minus 1 percentage point each year--instead of the full rate of inflation--that change alone would solve nearly three-quarters of the projected gap over the next 75 years between expected revenues and promised benefits. I don't expect that politicians will do anything that transparent to Social Security. But as part of a package of changes to assure that Social Security is funded in a way that it can cover its promises over the next 75 years, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see less-transparent changes in benefit formulas that have the effect of reducing COLA adjustments. As I noted at the start, there is a fairness argument that adjusting COLAs is unfair. But what is also unfair is for past legislatures and for Congress to set up pension and retirement programs, make promises about benefit and then fail to finance those programs sufficiently, and hand off the whole mess to future taxpayers and future retirees. The real blame in the pension and Social Security messes shouldn't go to those who are trying to address the problem, but to those who created it.

Welcome to the second trimester of the 2022 round up of EU copyright law! We started this rubric back in 2021. In this series, we update readers every three months on developments in EU copyright law. This includes Court of Justice (CJEU) and General Court judgments, Advocate Generals’ (AG) opinions, and important policy developments. You can read the previous round-ups here. CJEU judgments and AG Opinions Polish challenge of Article 17 CDSM, C-401/19 This is perhaps one of the most awaited judgemnts in the history of EU copyright law. On 26 April 2022, the CJEU finally derlivered its judgment, the main focus of which was the Polish challenge of Article 17 of the CDSM Directive. The CJEU upheld the provision, subject to its interpretation in light of fundamental rights. You can read up on the various aspects of the judgment here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here. CDSM Directive implementation The implementation of the CDSM Directive is still far from over, despite the fact that the implementation deadline passed more than a year ago – on 7 June 2021. Many Member States missed the deadline, so in May 2022 the Commission issued reasoned opinions to 13 of them. European Parliament, Report on AI in the Digital Age In the beginning of April, the European Parliament published a report on AI in the Digital Age. The report, prepared by the very well-known to the copyright audience Mr Axel Voss, stresses the importance of harmonisation and clear and transparent enforcement of IPRs. Focusing on SMEs, the report highlits that IP protection among these remains low. In addition, in order to help EU companies protect their AI with IP rights, the EU’s position as a global standard-setter should be strengthened. European Commission and European Parliament, Digital Services Act (DSA) An agreement was reached in April 2022 between the European Parliament and EU Member States on the Digital Services Act, which was followed by an endorsement by the Parliament’s Internal Market Committee later in June 2022 and (although strictly not in this second trimester) the final text was approved on 5 July. Together with the Digital Markets Act, the DSA is now expected to be put to final vote in a plenary session in the beginning of July 2022. Read more here, as well as here for further background on the DSA and the Opinion of the European Copyright Society (generally on the topic, see here). In May 2022, the European Parliament published a study on IPRs and the impact on data access, portability and re-use. The study focuses more narrowly on the Computer Programs Directive, the Database Directive and the Trade Secrets Directive with a view to enhancing interoperability. Council of the EU, Data Governance Act Altough not strictly about copyright, readers may be interested to know that in May 2022, the Council approved the Data Governance Act, which has as its main goal the promotion of availability of data and building a trustworthy environment to facilitate their use for research and the creation of innovative new services and products. Council of the EU, Conclusions on research assessment and implementation of open science Published in May 2022, the conclusions consider that the authors of research publications or their institutions should retain sufficient IPRs to ensure open access, leading to broader dissemination, valorisation and reuse of results improving the fair balance of the publishing business models. In addition, data and bibliographic databases used for research assessment should, in principle, be openly accessible, while tools and technical systems should enable transparency. CISAC, Annual Report The international body representing authors and composers published its 2022 Annual Report. While the report outlines CISAC’s legislative lobbying actions in several countries to promote stronger laws protecting creators and rightsholders, it also pinpoints growing digital royalties and stronger laws safeguarding creators’ rights as top priorities. EU Intellectual Property Office, 2022 IP Youth Scoreboard The EUIPO’s 2022 EU-wide survey on the perception of IP among young Europeans confirms previous trends of purchasing fake products – in the last 12 months, 37% of young people bought one or several fake products intentionally. Max Plack Institute for Innovation and Competition, Position Statement on the EU Data Act The Max Planck Institute for Innovation and Competition has published a Position Statement welcoming the EU Commission’s initiative on the EU Data Act and provides a comprehensive analysis of the proposed rules. Read more here. European Commission, Staff Working Document on the Portability Regulation In June, the Commission published a report on the application of the Portability Regulation, according to which paid online content services are obliged to provide at no extra cost cross-border portability to subscribers when they travel or visit temporarily other Member States. The report establishes that the new rules have been functioning well for all parties involved. It states that the Regulation’s impact on copyright licencing practices (introducing cross-border portability clauses into their existing agreements) was very marginal and did not lead to any significant costs. United States Copyright Office, Copyright Protections for Press Publishers Following public consultations and roundtables with stakeholders such as authors, publishers, internet platforms, libraries and users’ groups, the US Copyright Office has recommended against the introduction of a new press publishers right for the online publications (along the lines of Article 15 CDSM Directive). The Office emphasizes that ancillary copyright protections have not been shown to be necessary in light of publishers’ existing rights, and would likely be ineffective so long as publishers depend on news aggregators for discoverability. Moreover, to the extent that any ancillary copyright protections would lack traditional copyright limitations and exceptions, they would raise significant policy and Constitutional concerns. UK Intellectual Property Office, Response to public consultation on IP and AI Following a public consultation that closed in the beginning of this year (see here and here), the UK IP Office has now published its response. With respect to the UK computer-generated provision under s.9(3) of the Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988, in view of the early stages of the current developents on AI-generated creative output, the government has decided to make no changes to this provision. As for the text and data mining exception, the government has decided to introduce a new copyright and database right exception which allows text and data mining for any purpose. Stay tuned for a detailed comment on the blog on this front in the coming weeks. Coming soon and latest referrals Despite the fact that the CJEU judgment in the Polish challenge to Article 17 of the CDSM Directive is already out, there are still some interesting preliminary references to the CJEU to look out for in the new year: RTL Television (Case C-716/20) regarding cable retransmission in hotel rooms, Gemeinde Bodman-Ludwigshafen (C-256/21) and Ametic (C-263/21) on the InfoSoc Directive’s sanctions and private copying, AKM (C-290/21) on communication to the public by satellite broadcasting, Ocilion (C-426/21) on communication to the public and the private copying exception, Castorama Polska (C-628/21) on copyright enforcement and Blue Air Aviation (C-775/21) on communication to the public on airplanes. On the copyright/trade mark front at the EUIPO, a case on the registrability of the marks ‘ANIMAL FARM’ and ‘1984’ is still pending before the EUIPO’s Grand Board of Appeal. The copyright in these two titles expired at the beginning of 2021.

As a managed service provider (MSP), we understand that businesses sometimes need to switch from their existing service provider to a new one. While the process may seem daunting, with careful planning and execution, the upgrade to a new MSP can be a smooth and hassle-free experience. In this article, we will guide you through the steps involved in switching MSPs, ensuring a seamless transition for your business. Evaluating Your Current Service Provider The first step in switching MSPs is to evaluate your current service provider. Take the time to assess their performance and identify any issues or concerns you may have. Consider factors such as responsiveness, quality of support, and whether they meet your business needs. This evaluation will help you determine where your current provider may be falling short and set the stage for finding a better fit with a new MSP. Understanding Your Current IT Contract Requirements Before making the switch, it is important to clearly understand your current IT contract requirements. Review the terms and conditions of your existing contract, including any termination clauses or notice periods. Familiarize yourself with your contractual obligations and ensure you comply with any procedures outlined in the agreement. This knowledge will help you transition smoothly without any legal or contractual difficulties. Ensuring Payments Are Up To Date with Your Existing Provider To avoid disruptions during the transition, you must ensure your payments are current with your existing MSP. Review your billing history and settle any outstanding invoices or fees to maintain a positive relationship with your current provider. Clear communication regarding your intention to switch and the status of your payments will help smooth the transition process to a new MSP. Auditing Your Existing IT Environment One of the critical steps in transitioning to a new MSP is to have them conduct a thorough audit of your existing IT environment. This audit will help them comprehensively understand your infrastructure, systems, applications, and security protocols. By assessing your current setup, the new MSP can develop a tailored plan to seamlessly integrate its services and ensure a smooth transition without disrupting your business operations. Planning Your Timeline for Onboarding Switching managed service providers requires careful planning and coordination. The new MSP will establish a timeline for the onboarding process, considering factors such as the complexity of your IT environment and the availability of resources. It is important to note that a complete onboarding process can typically take anywhere from 30 to 60 days, depending on your specific requirements. Offboarding Your Old Managed Service Provider As you transition to a new MSP, it is vital to properly offboard your old service provider. Your new MSP will help you terminate your existing contract, ensure the return of any hardware or software licenses, and transfer ownership of your IT assets. Clear communication with your previous provider is crucial to ensure a smooth handover and prevent any potential gaps in service or security. By following proper offboarding procedures, you can maintain a professional relationship and avoid any unnecessary challenges during the transition. Switching managed service providers can be straightforward when approached with careful planning and execution. By evaluating your current provider, understanding your contract requirements, ensuring payments are up to date, conducting an audit of your IT environment, planning your timeline, and offboarding your old provider, you can seamlessly transition to a new MSP without disrupting your business operations. We hope to be your new managed service provider. Our team is committed to providing reliable and efficient IT support, ensuring a smooth and successful transition for your business.

Sometimes I worry that people are judging me for being so worried about people judging me. It’s a common affliction, especially for someone in my generation. We’ve essentially subjected ourselves willingly — even eagerly — to constant surveillance and scrutiny (but I’d better stop talking like that or people will think I’m a Luddite). And if you can’t admit to the embarrassment of caring what other people think, maybe you occupy the opposite end of the spectrum and care more about not caring what people think than just about anything else. Everything about you is aggressively indifferent. Especially your indifference. It seems so adolescent, doesn’t it? Talking about caring what other people think. Did I draft this post in the bedazzled pages of my Lisa Frank “Be Yourself” notebook? Caring what people think is so middle school, it’s true, but not caring about what people think is still very high school — something we’re too old for. Because we wouldn’t want people to think we’re immature. The surest sign of maturity is either the acceptance or the denial (either approach looks the same under the mask of impregnable disinterest) of the fact that your outward appearance matters to you mainly because it matters to other people. But it’s a little silly to encourage what amounts to the assertion that man is not a social creature. Because we are. We search out symbols, affiliations and branding for ourselves because we have an insatiable urge to communicate. The strides that we’ve made in terms of individuality and self-love sometimes seem to be careening toward the extreme of utterly rejecting the influence of other people or, God forbid, of “society.” Your outward appearance doesn’t have to matter to you just because it matters to other people, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have to matter to you at all, or that you should be afraid to like something just because everyone else likes it, or that you should feel like you aren’t “deep” or “mature” enough because you’ve been loyal to the same boy band since you were ten and never got into The Beatles. Why not reverse the social pressure to express yourself instead of subverting or perverting it? Let your appearance and personality matter to others because they matter to you. Not the other way around. Because I think that’s what we’ve really been trying to get at. Our social nature doesn’t have to impose upon us the pressure to conform to a set of normative prerequisites for mobility in some arbitrary social hierarchy. We’ve evolved enough to create human language, a unique system of communication decorated with all of these beautiful adjectives that we can bestow on ourselves and other people. The intricate nature of our society and our history allows for connotation and implication, for layers of unspoken meaning in what we say as well as what we do. The natural result of this happy accident is that we shelter a burning curiosity about ourselves and about each other and about our collective consciousness and identity. We want to see how others choose to express themselves, not so that we can judge them or relegate them to an inferior category or rationalize our own perceived shortcomings, but in order to better relate to them and allow us all to learn about each other and find something to love in ourselves, maybe through the help of those who can see it better than we can. Bottom line, we should care what other people think. Because we should live in a world where people are thinking positive, curious thoughts about their fellow humans. We should invite the minds of others into our own psychosocial space and pursue greater intimacy with the whole human race. It’s just nice to think about. I know it’s not realistic. Please don’t think I’m naive or arrogant enough to take myself seriously.

A new page - 02/12/2022 It's been a while (I've been busy) but I wanted to add a new page where I can list my other web-based projects. There's only one actual thing listed there at the moment though so I'd better start working on some of the other things I've been considering doing so that I can pad out the list! I'm also working on a page for some of my Spotify playlists, but that's not ready yet, and I've made a couple of general minor tweaks too. I'll try not to go so long without an update this time, but it is a particularly treacherous time of year for my species so no promises! Static mode - 20/08/2022 Continuing my efforts to make this website as accessible as possible, I've implemented a "static" mode. Anyone who's set their device to request minimal animation will see all animated gifs replaced with static images, inclusing the background. This is solely based on system/device settings for now but I'm hoping to implement a toggle in the future so that it's available for people who are not using these settings but would still like to disable the animations. Before that though, im focusing on bringing in a "light" mode for the website that users can turn on and off at-will. I'd like to eventually have other display modes available as well but light mode is the priority at the moment. Guest comments - 14/08/2022 A small one today! I've added a guestbook so that visitors can leave comments and things. You can find a link to it in the navigation sidebar off to the left there. Please use it as frequently as you like! It would be very helpful for my continued research into Human communication and internet customs It would be very nice to hear from you :) I'm nowhere near ready to start dealing with coding my own so I'm using the third party 123guestbook.com service. This does mean that there are ads (although I mean you should be using an adblocker why aren't you using an adblocker you really should get one if only for your own sanity's sake), and I'm more limited with my customisation options, but that's a worthy price for not having to make my own guestbook from scratch. Messing around with databases is not something I want to do at the moment. Maybe I'll make a custom guestbook at some point far in the future but not today! A new name! - 08/08/2022 I've changed a few things today but the biggest update is to my username! I've changed it from araliaceae to cosmologistics and so, of course, my webside domain has changed too. I've also taken the time to separate out the code for my sidebars, header, and footer, to make editing them a little more streamlined (i.e. I just have to edit one file rather than every single individual page) and I've added alt text to the "buttons" in the right sidebar. Semantic update - 02/07/22 A quick one today! Updated to use semantic html as part of ongoing work on accessiblity. A new website! - 17/06/22 Hey so this is my website! Welcome! You can find information specifically about me on my About page! I'm not really sure what I'm doing because pretty much my only experience with html and css before starting this site was customising my Tumblr theme. I wanted to try and actually learn this stuff properly but every time I tried an online course I got bored very quickly so I decided to just dive in with a project. I'm coding this site from scratch so it's starting off very simple and hopefully it'll get more complex over time. I'm not quite sure what sort of stuff to add to it yet but I'm sure things will come up organically. It's been great fun so far! Now that I've got the basics up and running, I think my next goal is to try and make this site as accessible as possible. I think it's important to practice accessible web-design and it's better to build a website with that in mind than to try to shove it in after the fact. I decided to ignore it up until now just because I wanted to get familiar with the basic concepts of html and css and to get a framework in place to build from. Now that I have that, it's important that I course-correct and incorperate accessible design principles and practices before gonig any further. Anyway! I hope you enojy my site so far and that you'll continue to as I work on building it up. Until next time!

The potential challenges of accommodating more pupils in schools have been outlined in a roadmap for education by the Isle of Man Government. The framework, which has been shared with all teachers and their unions, builds on the Government’s medium-term response to COVID-19 and has been drawn up after discussion with education professionals and on the basis of scientific evidence. Most schools were closed on 23 March, with the exception of nine primary school hubs and the five secondary schools, which still accept vulnerable children and those of key workers. Since then the Isle of Man Government has held regular meetings with teachers and unions which have allowed for concerns and ideas to be shared around how more pupils could be accommodated in hub schools. Dr Allinson MHK, Minister for Education, Sport and Culture (DESC), said: ‘Any decision to increase the number of children in schools will be made in a gradual, phased approach and based on the latest available health data and on clinical advice. The health and wellbeing of pupils and staff is our main priority.’ Careful workforce planning and changes to usual school practices will be essential during the process of allowing more pupils to attend hub schools. Clear strategies will also be put in place to safeguard the most vulnerable pupils and staff. The roadmap outlines many of the potential challenges of accommodating more pupils in schools including physical distancing, increased hygiene and cleaning, adapting the school day and transport. Families and carers need to be fully confident that allowing their children to return to school is safe. Public Health advice has been sought on risk assessments and the latest national and international evidence on how COVID-19 can effect young people is being constantly reviewed. Schools and education staff have been included in the latest testing strategy, enhanced school cleaning has been planned and guidance on the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) has been issued to all head teachers. Dr Allinson continued: ‘The main ambition of any change will be to address the educational requirements of the pupils and it is suggested that whilst initially the key worker definition can be expanded to include those working in the construction, trades and horticulture sectors, subsequent phases should concentrate on key transitional groups. The most vulnerable pupils will be prioritised.’ The current policy for schools will be regularly reviewed and any changes only made after consultation and on the basis of the latest health information and medical advice. A sudden and uncontrolled opening of schools will not be allowed. It is accepted that for the near future there will be a minority of pupils and school staff who will not, or cannot return to a school environment even with safety modifications.

When one thinks about style, one can’t go wrong when looking back at Elvis Presley. The man wasn’t just the “King of Rock and Roll” with his significant contribution to the development of Rockabilly, one of the earliest styles of rock and roll music, which combines the sound of country, rhythm, and blues. Elvis Presley was also a “style icon,” donning the optimal combination of items such as leather and denim jackets, jumpsuits, and even a Hamilton Ventura watch. In this list, we offer some of Elvis Presley’s iconic fashion styles and items that became popular, along with his rock and roll music. 1. Jailhouse Rocker Probably many of you already know the drill for this one – a combination of black denim and vertical stripes, and voila! You get one of Elvis’ signature styles. The style became popular when Elvis wore it in Jailhouse Rock, and it sure did stand out. The outfit consists of a rather conspicuous vertical striped shirt, akin to the design of clothes that prisoners wore. He coupled this with a black denim jacket, a pair of black denim jeans, and a pair of black loafers. Truly a monochrome outfit, but it sure did stand out! 2. “Taking Care of Business” Necklace There’s one phrase that Elvis Presley used a lot, and it was “TCB” or “Taking Care of Business.” The phrase was not only a string of words but also a necklace. The glamorous piece of accessories showcased the initials “TCB” with a shiny silver thunderbolt-like shape under the “C.” The far edges of the “T” and “B” are then attached to a silver chain necklace. This piece of jewelry was gifted to J.D. Sumner, Presley’s childhood friend and one of his backup singers in the Stamps Quartet. Presley also had this particular necklace made in large quantities to be given out to friends, family, and supporters. The Presleys also commissioned a Beverly Hills jeweler for 14-karat gold necklaces with the same TCB logo for all male members of Presley’s entourage. 3) The Gold Suit Wanna stand out? Wear gold, and definitely, your eyes will be on you! This suit is probably the flashiest Elvis wore. The Gold Lamé Nudie Suit, which you might recognize on the album cover for 50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can’t Be Wrong, consists of a gold-leaf tuxedo lined with rhinestones, and golden trousers, belt, shoes, and necktie. Elvis’ manager, Colonel Parker, commissioned the suit to Nudie Cohn of Nudie’s Rodeo Tailors. It’s a gold suit, said to be around $2,500 at that time. But, while the fans loved the outfit, it was reported that Elvis didn’t like it very much. Some parts weren’t very aesthetically pleasing to him, and the material also turned out to be a hindrance in some of his performances. 4) Hamilton Ventura Watch When talking about style, another accessory that people usually look out for watches. While most people would think about stylized jumpsuits, denim jackets, and gold suits as Elvis’ fashion legacy, Elvis also collected watches like Omegas lined with diamonds and the Rolex King Midas. But, there’s another timepiece fit for a king: the Hamilton Ventura. Though timepieces by Hamilton are as old as 1893, it was only in the 1950s that Richard Arbib dreamed of the design for Hamilton Ventura, the world’s first electric watch. It wasn’t that popular initially, but it did become a hit when Elvis wore it in 1961’s Blue Hawaii. It became associated with Elvis’ blue suede loafers. The Hamilton Ventura has a sleek angular design instead of the regular circular-shaped timepieces, thus making it seem like a triangle. It showcases a black dial with the hour ticks plastered on it. The angularly shaped dial is then encased in a stainless steel casing, wherein the color may vary depending on the model – sometimes a brilliant gold or shiny silver. Some models also have the timepiece fitted with a faux crocodile strap, which, again, its color may vary depending on the model. Aside from the eye-catching golden suit, Elvis was also pretty famous for the several different jumpsuits that he wore on stage. It’s a stark contrast from Elvis’ casual denim look in Jailhouse Rock as the jumpsuits boast some flamboyant and eye-catching designs. For instance, Elvis has this American Eagle inspired by America’s colors – predominantly white, lined with red and blue jewels. On the legs and shoulders, you could see the jewels shaped into an eagle with the colors of America. Another jumpsuit would be the bubblegum pink rhinestone-studded Jumpsuit made by Nudie Cohn. The predominantly pink jumpsuit was lined with multi-colored jewels carefully shaped into flower patterns on the shoulders, chest, waist, back, and collar. Those are just some of the iconic styles popularized by the one and only king, Elvis Presley. Surely, no one can ever forget how he has become a significant cultural symbol. If you’re a fan yourself and want to channel some of his looks, you can start by checking out luxury watches at TheWatchCompany.com.

Next month sees the seventh anniversary of the war in Yemen, which began on 26th March 2015. It is a war that has been fuelled by British arms exports, with sales worth more than £20 billion made to Saudi Arabia since the conflict began. It is also a war that has claimed over 377,000 lives. Last month, the Saudi coalition bombed a prison killing over 80 civilians, without a word of condemnation from the UK government. It's high time for the UK government to stop enabling this war, end arms sales, and make serious efforts to bring the war to an end and promote accountability for atrocities committed by all sides. On 10th March, CAAT is asking friends and supporters to lobby their MPs for Yemen. If you would like to take part in this Lobby Day, please contact your MP to book a meeting [via this link]. Between now and then we will send you a briefing pack with the latest information. There will also be an optional online training session to help you make the most of this meeting. Let's work together to stop these deadly arms exports, end the war in Yemen and ensure all those complicit in the death and destruction caused by the war are held accountable.

How Much to Save for a Secure Retirement The brief’s key findings are: - Recent estimates suggest that people need about 80 percent of their pre-retirement income in retirement. - The saving rate needed to hit this target depends on earnings, saving start age, retirement age, and asset returns. - An average earner who starts saving at 35 and retires at 67 needs to save 18 percent each year, assuming a 4-percent return. - The comparable rates for low and high earners are 12 percent and 22 percent, respectively. - Starting early and working longer are more powerful levers for gaining a secure retirement than earning higher returns.

Here’s AMBCrypto’s Price Prediction for Lido [LDO] for 2022-2023 Deep pockets to fill According to a tweet dated 30 October by WhaleStats, a crypto whale tracking platform, LDO was amongst top 10 purchased tokens among 100 biggest ETH whales in the last 24 hours. Furthermore, the whales were also observed to be holding $1 million dollars worth of stETH at the time of writing. Check the top 100 whales here: https://t.co/N5qqsCAH8j — WhaleStats (tracking crypto whales) (@WhaleStats) October 29, 2022 As can be seen from the image below, Ethereum staked with Lido also showed massive amounts of growth. This reaffirmed the fact that the general interest behind Lido staked ETH also surged. Coupled with he aforementioned information, the amount of fees and revenue generated by Lido also increased over the past few weeks. At press time, the amount of fees generated by Lido in the last 24 hours was $1.2 million and the revenue generated was $120,000. The LDO token also showed improvements in its performance. Over the last few weeks, the number of Lido’s daily active addresses increased immensely. During the same period, its network growth showed improvements as well as can be seen from the image below. An increasing network growth implies that the amount of new addresses that transferred LDO for the first time had increased. This inferred that the new addresses may be showing interest in LDO. However despite this growth, Lido token performed poorly in other areas. Its volume for instance, depreciated from 61 million to 32 million in the past week. Furthermore, LDO’s velocity depreciated as well indicating that the frequency with which LDO was being transferred had decreased. These factors coupled with a declining Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) ratio could paint a negative outlook for LDO in the coming future. At the time of writing, LDO was trading at $1.53 and had depreciated by 8.66% in the last 24 hours. Its volume had depreciated by 7.08% as well in the same time period.

Meet Sandra Wells, ODAT Project Manager. Sandra joined CTSI in January 2012. Need help? Contact Sandra directly at (612) 625-3073 or [email protected]. Why do you work in clinical and translational research? The translation of basic research findings into clinical studies is one of the greatest challenges of developing new therapeutics, diagnostics and treatment strategies for patients. Having worked in both academia and the biotech/pharmaceutical industry, I've developed an appreciation for the value of team science, and believe that academia can play a critical role in the early translational process. I'm excited for the opportunity to work in the CTSI, and look forward to contributing to the development of programs and partnerships to more effectively bridge the gap between basic and clinical research at UMN. What does your typical work day at CTSI look like? Since the Office of Discovery and Translation was only recently established, much of my time is spent working with Dr. Tucker LeBien to set up the operational components of the office. In addition, I regularly meet with faculty to discuss research ideas and interact with other offices and programs throughout the campus to explore new ways of identifying and supporting early stage translational research programs. We recently completed the review cycle for our newly initiated ODAT pilot grant program, so I have been busy reading proposals and overseeing the review process. What do you like to do when you're not at CTSI? I spend as much of my free time as possible with my husband and twin nine year old daughters. I am also active in a nonprofit organization that provides national leadership in the development of programs, policies, and services on behalf of drug-endangered children and their families. I have been involved in this organization for many years and currently serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors. What is your favorite or current read? Although my usual reading consists of scientific journal articles, at the request of one of my daughters, I recently read the book "Slob" by Ellen Potter. This poignant story illustrates many of the intense challenges faced by children growing up today. I highly recommend this book to middle grade children and their parents. "You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you."― James Allen, from "As a Man Thinketh"

When a mod is made for a certain type of modloader it will not have a download button if you are using a different modloader in your pack, some mods have intercompatibility between modloaders somehow (E.g. "Sinytra Connector", which allows fabric mods to be played on forge (BETA)). CurseForge already automatically filters the mods deemed 'incompatible' with the users modpack by default, that filter already helps some users making a pack and that's a great feature, but when the user removes it, the user may want to be able to download any mods, even if that means they are not compatible by version or modloader. Allow users to download any mods for any modloaders and versions, you could lock that feature behind something like 'Advanced User Configurations' -> 'I know what I'm doing'. so that would be an invisible change for those who are used to how it is now. This would allow users to more efficiently use their time downloading the mods and their dependencies automatically instead of forcing users to go and 'manual download' it all. This board is being moderated, if you wish for your idea(s) to go public, please consider the following: If your idea already exists, vote for it, this will increase the chances for the idea to become reality.

Around 8500 B.C., the agricultural revolution changed the game. Human beings discovered methods to grow and store food at will, allowing for population expansion, resource management and the first opportunity to reliably plan societal development. Since day one, we have exponentially improved the tools we use and the crops we grow. Examples include domesticated animals, dry seed, irrigation, the modern till, and the internal combustion engine, all producing incredible gains in efficiency . More recently, technology has deeply permeated the processes we implement to maximize crop yield, land efficiency and nutrition content. Now, we produce enough food worldwide to feed 9 billion people and manage to waste 20% of our production along the way. Clearly we have much more ground to gain in terms of minimizing average waste and maximizing yield; however, the technological age has only accelerated our innovation discovery and distribution channels worldwide. The Climate Corporation offers farmers visualization and processing software products. Data on soil moisture, nitrogen content, and real-time crop health mix together to give farmers continuous updates on overall yield . As a result, business models for farms have become predictive, instead of responsive. With shorter lead times, farms can react to growing hazards such as nitrogen deficiency and low moisture content that would otherwise ruin an entire harvest. Value is created as the delta between the cost of The Climate Corporation’s FieldView product and the increased revenues due to better yield and crop planning. Reduction in waste costs only augment value capture from wasted labor and mismanaged land. All these gains are made possible by distributed processing power (smartphones, internet, laptop on every farm) and increased planting and harvesting control given to farmers through automated machinery and digital planning. The net result of closing the feedback loop between these devices in the field and the farmer’s database results in smarter seeding, harvesting, watering and fertilizing decisions. Sam Eathington, Climate Corporation’s Chief Science Officer, claims that they have created “the world’s first in-field sensor network for agriculture” . I expect that these innovations and a smart field are just the tip of the iceberg in humanity’s quest to produce enough food to fuel our growing population. As the boundary layer of technological improvement pushes outward, I think The Climate Corporation should begin researching how we will make the next wave of products that will allow farmers to push predicting climate impacts into directing climate impacts. In the face of climate change and so many signs pointing toward an irreversible global warming, The Climate Change’s technologies may be an aggressive hedge against diverging climate circumstances and increasingly adverse conditions for our world’s food supply. The Climate Corporation was acquired in 2013 by Monsanto, a multinational giant in the agribusiness space, largely due to its sales of technologically improved seeds. In a press release from Monsanto, they claimed the acquisition “represents Monsanto investment in supporting farmers by offering them novel options in the way they manage risk on farm – including weather, which is the single biggest risk farmers face on an annual basis” . Other ways that The Climate Corporation’s unique big data approach to farm predictive analytics shakes up agribusiness lies in secondary markets for selling data-driven harvest insurance and supply chain management solutions. The scale of this market is reflected in Monsanto’s bid of $1.1B for The Climate Corporation’s team and intellectual property . As part of Monsanto, the Climate Corporation’s research and development efforts are largely shrouded; however, we can hope that with Monsanto’s deep war chest will only enable further innovation. Combined with Monsanto’s willingness to suffer through public scrutiny in a never-ending quest for a profitable and sustainable future, the Climate Corporation could very well be our foodie-salvation. Before the agricultural revolution, human was at the mercy of the land for food. Before the technological revolution, human had mastered the land; however, remained at the mercy of weather. Now, in the heat of the technological revolution, we have better predictors on the weather and have shortened our response time to climate to the point where we can operate one step ahead of famine. How long will it be before we master our weather as well? Perhaps one day we will drive the climate, instead of responding to it. When that time comes, what choices will we make to be good stewards of our environment? Or will we extract every cent of value from our short term horizons? Our generation of agribusiness leaders will have to feed our future mouths and make these hard choices. The Climate Corporation seems to be leading the charge in the right direction.

New Delhi: Jeong Gu Won( Song Kang) is an arrogant self obssesed demon, who cannot bear humans and their ways. Do Hee(Kim Yoo Jung) is a smart businesswoman and the CEO of her company, and has no time for the frivolities of life. The two meet and it’s hate at first sight, until one day when Gu Won saves her from an attempted murder, it seems their fates are entwined. The fantasy romantic thriller” My Demon” which started with great promise, sadly buckles under its expectations. Jeong Gu Won is a 200-year-old Demon who makes deals with humans who would do anything to save their souls at the moment. However, meeting Do Hee spells trouble for Gu Won because he ends up losing his powers and then finds himself in a contract marriage with her as well. Do Hee’s life is far more complex than the devil’s plans, she is caught in a war of inheritance among the children of the matriarch Joo Cheon Sook( Kim Har Sook) who had adopted Do Hee. There is also a killer on the prowl, who wants to kill Do Hee. So we get the familiar trope of a bickering couple who fall hopelessly in love and are willing to defy the forces of nature. In this case, it’s Gu Won’s past and his actions in the present which can have serious repercussions on the couple’s future. Their issues are offset by jealous love interests and a deranged killer. The writing gets a bit lazy, and what could have been a fun rom becomes a dawdling affair. There are some aspects of the story one could have done with some explanation, the story between Cheon Sook and her children. The track one could have done without was the love affair between the personal assistants which is annoying to say the least. The one aspect that saves the show is Song Kang and Kim Yoo Jung’s scorching chemistry. The two leads are comfortable and natural on-screen and are styled to perfection. The emphasis on cashing in on their good looks is so strong that very often one gets distracted by their chic wardrobe rather than the drama playing out onscreen. The production is on point, with lavish sets in a monochrome palette, as well as the ensembles sported by the cast with occasional vibrant splashes of green, red and pink. Where To Watch : Netflix

When Gold Becomes Money Again On the night our documentary I.O.U.S.A. made its nationwide premiere in August 2008, the film was followed up by a live panel discussion, broadcast via satellite. Our friend David Walker, the former US comptroller general and “star” of the film, took part…along with several other luminaries. At one point, the question was asked: Might America’s trading partners one day sell off their US Treasury holdings? Impossible, said Warren Buffett. In fact, he insisted, they couldn’t…because they’d need to convert it into some other currency, which would be little better than the dollar. No one else chimed in to challenge the assertion. “Buffett’s answer assumes that there is no alternative,” author, friend and local Baltimore resident Bill Baker writes in his 2009 book Endless Money: The Moral Hazards of Socialism, “because for generations, all the world’s currencies have been backed only by the promise that governments would accept them in payment of taxes. “But that ignores a currency that has been used effectively by man for thousands of years: gold. China and other countries might exchange their US dollars for it now.” Indeed, China is quietly building its gold reserves. They totaled 600 metric tons in 2004. Then in April 2009 came an announcement they’d grown to 1,054 metric tons. And the buzz from Beijing is that the central bankers want to grow that stash another tenfold. Meanwhile, China has trimmed its US Treasury holdings for three months in a row. The January total was $1.15 trillion – down 1.75% from October. These are the first steps toward what Baker sees as the “remonetization” of gold – coming soon to a country near you. History is a pendulum. “Once gold and silver had been written into the Constitution,” Baker says, “no one might have thought that it would be replaced by paper within 60 years.” But the pendulum swung, the Union issuing its infamous greenbacks during the Civil War. Then the pendulum swung back, the greenbacks’ critics were “able to successfully push for an agenda of gold resumption. But before the London Economic Conference of 1933, the world would be shocked by Roosevelt’s rejection of the gold standard.” The pendulum swung again. Now, “a series of crises such as was the case in Rome might ultimately bring the pendulum back toward gold,” Baker writes. In other words, we’re approaching the end of the Great Dollar Standard we wrote about in The Demise of the Dollar. The only world anyone below the age of 40 has ever known – in which all the world’s currencies float freely against each other – is nearly over. And Baker is investing accordingly. In late 2010, he began accumulating shares of a tiny gold miner called Orezone. “Our cost basis is 78 cents, and now it’s $3.61,” Baker tells us on a wintry afternoon in his office on the outskirts of Baltimore. “I’ve sold off two-thirds of the shares that I own, and it’s still one of our largest positions. I can’t keep it down!” It’s a good problem to have. And Baker has it because he’s willing to go further afield than your typical money manager…as far afield as Burkina Faso. We’ll pause here to place it on a map, so you can get your bearings. (If you were a geography geek growing up, you might remember it as Upper Volta.) “I read these other quarterlies from these hedge fund managers,” Baker tells us, surrounded by family pictures, CDs of composers like Brahms and rafts of company research. “They’ll get really absorbed in the macroeconomic picture, but they don’t really know what they’re doing, so they just buy GLD [the gold ETF]. “Or they’ll hire two all-star Canadian analysts. Then I look at what they own, and they own Gabriel Resources because John Paulson owns it. It’s safe. Or they bought some big South African company because it’s cheap based on reserves in the ground when they ran it through their stock screener. “They don’t have a coherent philosophy about really kicking the tires and really finding these companies that people don’t know about.” Baker does. His firm, Gaineswood Investment Management, has taken sizeable positions in tiny gold miners working well off the beaten paths of the Americas, Australia and South Africa. Burkina Faso is smack in the middle of a geological formation called the Birimian Trend…the richest source of growth for gold miners in recent years. Even better is how many miners in West Africa have consolidated their holdings. “In Canada, you might have a district filled up with 12 companies. One company might have each block, or half a block. But in West Africa, these guys own all of it. They’ve got a lot of time, a lot of land, and now they’ve raised a lot more money, so they can keep going after it…and we’ll keep getting these upside surprises. “That’s our philosophy, to find opportunity where, for example, this one outfit has found 1.2 million ounces of gold. But with all the new discoveries they’re making, they’ll probably come out and say we have 2, 2.5, and next year they’ll say, well, we have 3, 3.5, 4… and it isn’t over yet, because of this whole giant region that’s been unexplored.” Before we go any further, we’d better make something clear: Bill Baker isn’t your typical gold bug. Nor is he your typical stock market bear. “The timing or eventuality of financial calamity is unable to be forecast,” Baker writes in Endless Money. “At best, it might be like a hurricane warning: The tempest may strike here, it may hit there, it may be downgraded to a tropical storm or it may go elsewhere entirely.” But that doesn’t mean investors should fail to prepare for financial calamities…or the demise of paper currencies. Financial calamities are becoming increasingly likely in this overly indebted world of ours…and the death of paper currencies is becoming increasingly certain. The best time to prepare is ahead of time.

Ondo State Governor, Rotimi Akeredolu, has signed the bill establishing the 33 Local Council Development Areas (LCDAs) into law. Akeredolu gave his assent on Saturday after the Speaker of the State House of Assembly, Oladiji Olamide, presented the bill to him at a brief ceremony. Daily Trust reports that the ceremony was attended by the Deputy Speaker, Abayomi Akinruntan; Majority Leader, Oluwole Ogunmolasuyi and the Parliamentary Secretary, Moyinoluwa Ogunwumiju. Recall that protests had greeted the creation of the 33 LCDAs in the state with many communities faulting the process and its establishment. Assenting to the bill, Akeredolu said the LCDAs marked a substantial step towards fulfilling his campaign promises and addressing the aspirations of the people for enhanced grassroots development. He explained that the initiative also underscored his unwavering commitment to improving public service delivery, which aims at bringing governance closer to the people, ultimately resulting in more responsive and efficient services. The governor stated that he remained dedicated to delivering impactful projects and innovative initiatives, adding that he was poised to redouble his efforts in advancing the development of the Sunshine State.

Good morning Friends, I’m sure our week went well. Yes I thought the last post would be the final episode of the Word series, but like I wrote earlier that things may change… And I’m glad to announce that they really did change, because we shall continue today. Today however will be our final episode on the Word Series, by God’s Grace. We will be considering a very major role the Word of God plays in our lives if we choose to place it at the core and center of our dominant consciousness. Balanced By the Word is the theme for today’s post, and the purpose of this post is to bring us to a point where we see and acknowledge the Word as our most vital resource for living our lives to the full. I once heard a powerful statement from one of my friends, she said “the devil works at the extremes”. I couldn’t agree further. I find that to be true because the devil has nothing particularly new he’s bringing to the scene of life, all he does however is to pervert what God has done. He takes a concept which in itself is good if applied properly, and then drives it to the extreme. So he takes a healthy self esteem and turns it into pride, he takes care and affection and turns it into obsession, turns a desire into an addiction, turns humility into stupidity and weakness, turns duty of care into busybody and gossip, turns rebuke to condemnation, turns correction to criticism, turns honour to hero worship, turns respect to dread, and the list is endless. He couldn’t affect any man negatively without twisting a reality to an extreme version. Eph 6:13(kjv) Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with TRUTH… … And so Paul here is urging every believer in Ephesus to take on the whole armor of Christ, why? So they can STAND… Trust me, no one can stand without balance. You can’t do anything worth the while without your balance. Your balance is key to your survival. When a man is hit on a spot that makes him lose his balance, one can be sure he has lost the fight already. God’s Word is our primary instrument for balance. Exactly why verse 13 begins listing the armour by FIRST mentioning the belt of TRUTH. The Word of God is the compendium of God’s ageless, tireless and ceaseless truth. Psalms 119:89. John 17:17(kjv) Sanctify them through thy truth: thy WORD is TRUTH. For every soldier who goes to the battle field, his belt isn’t for fashion or extra accessory and that’s why you don’t find the trendy versions of such belts. The belts are usually big and tough, they were not made to match your belt and shoe, or to discipline your erring child, they were designed for balance… To keep you alive. A soldier without his belt runs the risk of being twisted and broken easily on the battle field, because he has no fulcrum upon which his whole body is fit and hinged. When a man is not a student of the Word of God, every persuasive chant makes sense to him. He has no inner filter with which he sieves the content of what is being passed across, no matter who is passing it across. He is tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine, cannot be stable with his perceptions and notions of God, except what he is fed with. Paul didn’t enjoy the kind of church that always nodded to every of his statements, he preferred the ones who would return home and check out whether those things He said were true indeed. Every leader must take a cue from that. Acts 17:11(kjv) These were more noble than those in Thessalonica, in that they received the word with all readiness of mind, and searched the scriptures daily, whether those things were so. When a person is not totally influenced by his personal study and understanding of God’s Word, it is practically impossible for such a person to be balanced in every area of his/her life. When he listens to the news about the stock market and economy, he is confused and worried about the future, and then he sees another friend thriving in a business, he ventures into it headlong without prior analysis and planning, he sees a lady he likes, he goes to her asking her out already, and then after a while he breaks up, he changes churches like an accessory comparing one church to the other, he has not kept a stable relationship (all forms) for longer than 1 year, his life is full of imbalance, impatience, lack of stability and steady growth … This might play out in several ways with different people, depending on the situation in particular, but the principle stays true; Balance is impossible without the Word of God. Eph 4:14(kjv) That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; 15 But speaking the TRUTH in love, may GROW up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ: The belt stays at the center of the body, half way up, half way down, it holds everything together. In fact for a soldier it’s more graphical, almost all his artillery and mobile ammunition is connected to his jacket which is tied to his belt. His balance depends on it. Let the Word of God be at the center of your life, let it hold all things together. Chinua Achebe popularly wrote that “things fall apart, when the center no longer holds”. Let the center of your life be The Word. You will be shocked how the influenced of The Word in your life will affect ALL other areas of your life as you gain mastery over life and its vicissitudes. I’m glad to announce to you that we have come to the end of the Word Series… For now 🙂 Have a fabulous weekend ahead.

People are the REAL Bottom Line Proven tools that empower teams to transform hidden potential into realized talent. Why Chose DCC? We believe that to get better results we have to understand ourselves better first. Understanding leads to more authentic leadership which leads to increased revenue, better productivity, higher quality, and people who are happier at work. We can’t fix your organization but we can partner with you so you can. Top Companies Choose DCC to Develop their Leadership Teams. What We Do Every organization has unique challenges and cultures. DCC understands those differences creating multiple paths to accomplish your goals. Rather than delivering tired development programs, we listen to your needs and build programs around you. Understanding is at the heart of our philosophy which leads to more authentic leadership which leads to increased revenue, better productivity, dynamic cultures, and engaged people. Burnout is one of the top reasons people are leaving their jobs. In Healthcare this is leading to retention and recruitment issues. Our pilot with KP nursing got nothing but positive reviews, and our work with a regional healthcare organization helped them to get through the pandemic. “I’m very grateful for the training and coaching we completed with David Couper Consulting. I know our teams would not have weathered Covid as well without the work we did to lay the groundwork for our leaders through the work with DCC. Thank you to David and his team for helping us with resources to weather the storm.” John G. Hill, FACHE President and CEO Bozeman Health Transformational Coaching – Unlike most coaching firms we don’t only help people to understand what to do to be successful but we help them understand why they’re not doing those things. Those limiting beliefs, judgments, and stories are often what stop leaders from growing. “I was recommended to undergo this professional training and honestly, I did not have high expectations. However, to my surprise, after two sessions, I quickly learned that these sessions were remarkably helpful. My coach helped me to realize each person has different strengths and together, we are stronger as a team. I truly enjoyed the training and this program has far exceeded all my expectations.“ Ameneh Azad, MHA, CLS (ASCP) Associate Administrator – Clinical Pathology Keck Medicine of USC Clinical Laboratories Leadership Development – We have delivered our unique custom leadership development program to Kaiser Permanente, PeaceHealth, Martin Luther King Community Hospital, and Bozeman Health as well as non-health organizations like Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, LAX, and other for-profit and not-for-profits. One of Vision Essentials offices which had been at the bottom in Southern California ended up being at the top. It also got a 100% incentive payoff based on its stellar results. A manufacturing group passed all its goals both target and stretch based on the work we did with leaders from the director to the supervisors. Culture Change – We help organizations change their culture to get better results. We’ve helped Kaiser Permanente take one area from the worst in the region to the top. We increased all metrics for a manufacturing group even those that they thought were impossible to change. And we helped LAX build their leaders to take on more as we supported their first-ever mentoring program. 25% of those attending the mentoring program got promoted during a one-year period. The rate of promotion for those not in the program was 9.92%. That’s a 15% increase in the promotion rate for those attending the mentoring and development program. See What Our Clients Have To Say About Us As the leader of an executive team, working with my coach to compare and contrast my strengths with the strengths of each member of the team has helped to manage team interactions and assignments more effectively. I can guide discussions more effectively, and I can ensure the right people with the right strengths are assigned to the right tasks. Kaiser Permanente Vision Essentials The greatest learning and beneficial insight I discovered through the DCC Coaching Program is the power of thoughtfully exploring situations deeply, not as they always present for a better outcome. I’ve experienced an increased attention to presence, mindfulness and self-care. I’m leading from the heart and head. I believe other employees and/or leaders would benefit in the ways I have through the coaching by learning techniques for responding vs. reacting during stressful work situations and personal, authentic accountability. -Carol Aaron, Senior VP of Culture and People, Senior VP of Culture and People, PeaceHealth This is a radically different way to support Leaders in their growth, offering a generosity of spirit and compassion in guiding leaders to embrace their best self amidst change and chaos!

He was flexible and responsive to our needs and greatly helped the roll out of our training programs. David’s keen insight and penetrating questions enable him to uncover how one’s innermost feelings can reveal unique opportunities for accelerated success. Walt Disney Motion Pictures The coaching program has exceeded all my expectations! It has made a tremendous difference every day that I'm at work. I have learned new skills to better communicate with my patients and my co-workers and have really experienced more joy and peace during the work day. This has also extended into a much more peaceful and less chaotic family life too. All the stress that I used to experience and then carry back home with me, now I know how to better manage those situations and not let them affect the rest of my day. Coaching Program Participant, Kaiser Permanente Vision Essentials As a trainer, project manager, and coach, David has mastered the difficult and delicate balance required to keep tight deadlines, produce challenging, and creative work while, at the same time, act as a highly motivating influence on his teams and colleagues. I wholeheartedly recommend him for his coaching skills Mary Jo Calderon Ernst & Young (France) I now know how to look for individual strengths within each of my team members and not assume that all people are the same or should be the same. I recognize that everyone has differing awareness levels and skill sets and I know how to meet them where they are and help bring out the best in what they have to offer our team and our company. I do this by seeing the big picture, yet I know how to break down the path to organizational change into baby steps now. Coaching Program Participant, Kaiser Permanente Vision Essentials Among David's vast skills is the ability to listen, and then ask the appropriate questions to help an individual find the correct answer. He is knowledge about people, workplaces, and all kinds of situations that workers face today. He is able to help people fully realize their potential.

In (nearly) twenty years of working with clients and their web projects I have seen my fair share of poor website and business decisions. But the one that is most guaranteed to bring tears, delays, headaches, and agita is the thorny subject of domain name ownership. (I know what you’re thinking: surely it’s websites where music plays automatically … thankfully, that itch has been scratched). Early on in the web development process, we will always ask the question “ … and do you have ownership of / control over the domain name relevant to this project?”. Responses tend to fall into one of two camps: absolute certainty, or confused anxiety. To be clear, the only correct response to this question is “yes, absolutely”. Anything else is a stomach-dropping admission that you’re not in control of your website. For those who fall into the ‘confused anxiety’ group, this is how the response normally goes: “I think our previous developer has that …” “oh, that person who left the company three years ago used to take care of that – not sure where it is now …” As a business owner, it is your responsibility to make sure you own your domain name. Or, at the very least, have full control over it. But there are many reasons why you might not – the two most common are that you asked your developer to register it for you (because it seems like something your developer should do), or you have been asked to transfer the ownership of the domain name to a developer or vendor so that they can make changes to it. The second is more nefarious than the first. Full Disclosure Here: I own domain names that I shouldn’t. I have registered domain names on behalf of clients before I knew any better – thinking that I was providing a helpful service to businesses. Pah! I don’t do it anymore. Instead, here’s what happens when a client asks me to register a domain name for them: “I can do that for you, no problem – and when we’re done and the project is completed, we’ll open an account for you and transfer the domain name into your ownership” Perfect. The fact is that the developer will need to make edits to the domain name (technically, to the zone file that goes with the domain name, or to the nameservers that the domain name points to). And in some cases – to keep the project moving, or to avoid a frustrating delay just as a project is set to go live – it makes sense for the developer or agency to register the domain name in their own account. I get it – it’s easier and it feels like something techy that your developer should take care of. But once that project is live, make sure that the domain name gets transferred into your name and into an account that you have access to. If your agency or developer does not offer to do that or explain why you should – it’s an issue. If an agency is simply saying ‘we’ll register the domain name for you, no problem’ or ‘you need to transfer the domain name into our name so we can make changes to it’ … that’s a red flag. There’s no reason for them to do it – it would be like signing over the deed to your house to a builder so that they can remodel your kitchen. So, your agency says ‘we’ll register your domain name’ and they make a plan with you to transfer ownership at the appropriate time. Perfect. Make sure, also, your agency explains to you what is involved – when it is going to renew, what email address renewal notices will be sent to, and not to ignore them. (More than once, I’ve had clients ignore ‘renew your domain name’ notices because they thought it was spam. And it’s true, notices can look spammy – or they’re easy to fake. But by knowing who the domain name is registered with, and when it will renew, you can minimise the impact of these emails). The key takeaways here: if you do not know how to administer your domain name, if you’re unsure who has access to it, or unsure about anything to do with your domain name ownership … get it sorted now, and not when the domain name is due to expire. [okay, so this has been a post written out of frustration as it has happened to me just this past week – and the headaches … my god, it’s a nightmare. The project remains on hold until the client gets control over their domain name.]
