 Describe the implications of the Codex Alimentarius.

The many headed Hydra is liking playing chess against a Master. Multitude of possible moves, except all manned and ready to go when one doesn’t work.
So, an organized many side front is brought to bear against the populace. Those few informed can’t possibly be enough to stand against those docile misinformed citizens who think their government has their best interest. In fact fellow citizens whom you’ll have to overcome first.
What about the 6th AGM 80 Missile missing from the B-52 fiasco at Barksdale AFB moved from Minot AFB. This missile has never been recovered and more then 15 military personnel, including the 3 star general heading SAC Air Command murdered to hide it was taken. Of course nothing from the media, naturally.
very distinct possibility of its unleashing to institute Martial Law which means this forum among many will be closed.
Hence, Northern Command under DHS will search your home for foods and weapons.
Foods under executive order is against the law to horde and if found will be confiscated with your very real possible arrest besides any weapons found on your property.
Urban warfare practiced and implemented in Iraq was training for implementation in the US.
There is very real death awaits many citizens. During Nazi Germany, many Europeans were offended anyone should ask or would ask them to leave and in fact why Einstein in 1932 unleashed a backlash from relatives when he left Germany.
It was where they grew up, had property, family, careers and many investments. No way would they leave and 6 million Jews died along with 8-9 million Christians and so called politically incorrect subversives.
The US has horror in store for its citizens!!!!!! Almost 75% of the population must be terminated and Wilderness Areas as defined by them will be instituted. Which is why, if you have an emergency during this period, any location considered wilderness is off limits, effecting several states and vehicles with onboard computers will turn your vehicle off via satellite.
Buy an old car, pre 89. More then likely you will have to travel regions off limits to escape or move to or move thru to save family and yourself.
Best entertain the idea that DHS will kill you should violate UN, FDA, DHS mandates. Therefore, have semi-auto firearms capable of traversing bullet proof vests. U’ll need 30 calibers in 308 or 30-06. Ammunition will be like currency, buy it now and practice, practice, practice, practice.
Death is preferable defending oneself then slow death in the myriad detention centers thru-out the country.
Revolution is imperative for survival, as well as truth, justice, and liberty for all in healthy, happy, harmonious and prosperous freedom. Codex Alimentarius is law expressed to control everything passing thru our alimentary canal, our gut!
This SB 510 is an insidious stealth weapon that must be repelled and destroyed before it destroys us.
The government will sell this as protecting our food supply systems from contamination in big corporate factory farms and processing plants. But the obvious and immediate targets appear to be nutritional supplements, health food stores, farmers’ markets and roadside food sales, small independent farmers in general and organic farmers in particular. I fear the law can and likely will be later extended to backyard gardeners for total control.
The bastards always sell the gullible public with an innocuous sounding “good idea” in a thumbnail sketch, then deliver a huge load of steaming manure laden with worms that infiltrate and consume our premises evermore. With Codex Alimentarius they will force their tainted drugged excuses for food and drink upon us while Obamacare will “ration” medical services. Remember, our “public servants” even say we senior citizens “have a duty to die”. Yes, these are dark days for “useless eaters” as in the age of automation and population reduction, the elite do not need very many of us to labor in their service. Just look at the loss of industry and high unemployment! Grow your own food. Question authority. Resist evil. Live free or die!

 Describe the recent rhetoric surrounding the negotiations between the US and North Korea.

The US will have to assure North Korea it won't seek to undermine its leader Kim Jong-un, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has implied. That comes after years of slamming him as a dictator and squeezing his country with sanctions.
With less than a month left before the hugely-anticipated talks between US President Donald Trump and North Korea's leader Kim Jong-un in Singapore, the US top diplomat has indicated that any deal paving the way for a nuclear-free Korean peninsula will have to include certain US safeguards allowing Kim to stay in power.
"We will have to provide security assurances to be sure. This has been the trade-off that has been pending for 25 years," Pompeo told 'Fox News Sunday.' Pompeo was speaking to Fox's Chris Wallace just a few days after he returned to the US from his second meeting with Kim, during which they were supposed to thrash out the details of the Trump-Kim summit on June, 12.
The upcoming talks are being hailed as a monumental personal success by Donald Trump, who, just months ago, berated Kim as a "mad man" and as a "rocket man on a suicide mission," threatened him with "fire and fury" and boasted about having a bigger nuclear button. Now, the Trump administration is using the negotiations as a way of saying it's better than the previous ones.
"No president has ever put America in a position where the North Korean leadership thought that this was truly possible that the Americans would actually do this, would lead to the place where America was no longer held at risk by the North Korean regime," Pompeo said.
As for Kim being a "dictator" and "oppressor" with a poor human rights record – apparently, the safety of the US eclipses that.
"Look, we'll have to see how the negotiations proceed. But make no mistake about it: America's interest here is preventing the risk that North Korea will launch a nuclear weapon into L.A. or Denver or to the very place we are sitting here this morning, Chris," Pompeo said.
If the negotiation proves to be a success, North Korea can see private American companies flooding its market, helping to develop its power grid and providing food supplies "so they [North Koreans] can eat meat and have healthy lives." However, he dismissed the possibility that the US taxpayers' money could be involved in the program.
"The conversations are professional. He knows -- he knows his brief, he knows what he is trying to achieve for the North Korean people," Pompeo said, noting that Kim is also keeping tabs on the Western media and "will probably watch the show at some point."
Hinting that the times when a full-blown war of words was raging between Trump and Kim are long forgotten, Pompeo said that neither he nor Kim touched on the "little rocket man" remark by Trump or any other less-than-graceful characteristics given to Kim by the US leader before.
The tone of Trump's rhetoric towards Kim has shifted dramatically over the past several months. Following the landmark summit between Kim and South Korean President Moon Jae-in in late April, Trump has heaped praise on the North Korea leader, raising some eyebrows.
During a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron last month, Trump called Kim "very open and very honorable."
Following North Korea's pledge to dismantle its nuclear test site and allow foreign journalists, including ones from the US, to oversee the process, Trump thanked him for what he called "a very smart and gracious gesture."

 Describe how the shift to online grocery shopping will affect the grocery industry over the next five to seven years.

Seventy percent of shoppers will be buying their groceries online within five to seven years, according to projections from the Food Marketing Institute and Nielsen.
Total online grocery spending could reach $100 billion.
The majority of U.S. grocery shoppers could be buying online within five years, according to a joint report from Food Marketing Institute and Nielsen.
That timeline represents a faster pace of adoption than previously believed, as both organizations originally estimated it could take up to 10 years for consumers to warm up to buying groceries on the web.
According to projections, 70 percent of shoppers will be buying some portion of their groceries online within five to seven years. That could equate to $100 billion in total spending. The shift online will impact grocery shopping in stores, where consumers are still expected to spend 80 percent of their grocery dollars.
"There is a fundamental shift in retail, and we are seeing an acceleration," said Thom Blischok, global retail strategic advisor to Nielsen. "You can now find the basics of living online pretty easily."
Traditionally, the grocery industry has been more insulated from e-commerce disruption than its peers in the apparel and book sectors. Shoppers tend to be loyal to their grocers, and the grocery supply chain is so complex.
However, the rise of meal kits and delivery services has helped to change shoppers' expectations. Amazon's acquisition of Whole Foods, which threatens to combine data, logistics and automation in a way the industry has not seen, has put the entire industry on notice. Earlier this month, Amazon launched its first automated grocery store.
The shift is already evident: 49 percent of all shoppers bought a packaged good online within the last three months. That includes 61 percent of millennials and 44 percent of baby boomers. It also includes 54 percent of affluent households and 40 percent of low-income households.
Grocery stores, cognizant of the price transparency the web affords, will feel the pressure to keep prices low. The largest ones, like Walmart, are expected to put an extra focus on low prices to help win their battle for market share. To help keep prices down and make shopping an event in itself, they will continue to invest in automation and grab-and-go technology.
Both large and small stores will continue to emphasize fresh and prepared foods, as well as meat, in an effort to compete with goods not easily ordered online.
Changes will also transpire behind the scenes, as brands and retailers look to use data they get through new technology to inform pricing, selection and promotion. Albertson's launched a new service this month to use shopping data in its stores to better assess online ads.

 Describe the decision to halt the CIA training program for moderate Syrian rebels, and how it may affect the Syrian conflict.

The decision to halt the CIA training program for the moderate Syrian rebels is a very important step by US President Donald Trump towards the settlement in Syria.
United States President Donald Trump has decided to end the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) program to arm and train the moderate Syrian opposition, The Washington Post reported Wednesday, citing US officials.
According to the newspaper, the decision was made a month ago after Trump’s talks with CIA Director Mike Pompeo and national security adviser Herbert Raymond McMaster.
"The decision reflects the Trump administration’s stance that the removal of Assad is not a US priority," the report read.
Trump initially pledged to change the parameters of the US policy during his campaign. However, on April 6, the Pentagon launched a massive missile strike at a Syrian governmental military airfield in Ash Sha’irat in response to an alleged chemical weapon attack in Syria’s Idlib province.
The hostile move created the disappointing impression that Washington’s policy towards the Syrian crisis wouldn’t budge and was unlikely to change in the future.
However, Israeli Middle East analyst Avigdor Eskin suggested that Trump in fact made a very important decision on Syria, hiding behind the façade of hawkish rhetoric.
"Using the smoke screen of militarist rhetoric [following the missile strike], the US President made one the most important decisions to resolve the Syrian crisis. Now, we can better understand the efficiency of a cease-fire in south Syria. As soon as the Syrian rebels realized that US support would come to an end soon, their combat enthusiasm immediately started exhaling," Eskin wrote in an analytical piece for RIA Novosti.
Syrian Ceasefire Can Potentially Be Expanded - US State Dept.
The cease-fire was announced in early July after the talks between Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G-20 Summit in Hamburg.
According to Eskin, what is crucial now is that having rolled back support for the Syrian rebels the US stopped "adding more fuel to the fire" of the Syrian conflict.
Moreover, the analyst pointed out that Russia’s efforts played a key role in making a cease-fire possible in south Syria.
"The latest developments prove that Russia’s policy in Syria has been reasonable and far-seeing. Actually, Washington policymakers also admit that. Despite all odds, Russia-US joint efforts paved the way for the Syrian settlement," Eskin concluded.

 Describe the UK's position on nuclear waste disposal.

Deep geological burial is seen as the only permanent solution for nuclear waste that will remain radioactive for many thousands of years and is currently stored at surface sites across the UK. Ministers’ attempts to choose a site in Cumbria for the £12bn facility were foiled in 2013 when the county council rejected the proposal.
New plans by ministers were published in January and have now been backed by the business, energy and industrial strategy (BEIS) select committee of MPs, who said the safest site should be chosen, regardless of location.
“We decided against adding an exclusionary criterion for national parks and AONBs as in our view it is right for safety matters to prevail over environmental concerns in this case,” said the committee, chaired by Labour’s Rachel Reeves.
However, the Green Party MP Caroline Lucas said: “It’s outrageous to think of companies burying nuclear waste and fracking for gas in some of the most beautiful places in the country. Tussles over which communities have to put up with this toxic material bring us all to shame.” Fracking under national parks was also approved by the UK government in 2015.
The BEIS committee did criticise ministers for being unclear about how much nuclear waste would be produced by plans for new reactors, including at Hinkley Point in Somerset. It also said ministers made a “spurious” link between the geological disposal facility (GDF) and the government’s industrial strategy as the plans do not contain enough requirements to train and use local people.
Fifty years of nuclear power in the UK has generated 750,000 cubic metres of waste but the nation has still not developed a permanent disposal solution. Following the 2013 failure, ministers have proposed up to £2.5m a year for communities that consider hosting a GDF, funding dismissed as bribes by opponents.
He said the government wanted to “ensure that the siting process has sufficient flexibility to identify the safest location for a GDF over the lifetime of the facility”. Harrington has said construction of the GDF would create 1,000 jobs and running it would create 600 more.
In the 1980s and 1990s the UK spent £400m examining a proposed GDF site near Sellafield that was eventually abandoned due to the highly complex and fractured nature of the geology.

 Describe an example of a family's experience of the travel ban and how it was challenged.

February 9 2017, 4:02 p.m.
Late last month, Connie, a flight attendant for a major airline, was preparing to board a plane leaving New York when she began hearing rumors about people held at airports following Donald Trump’s executive order barring refugees and Muslim travelers from entering the United States. The president claimed the ban was about terrorism, yet even legal permanent residents were reportedly being detained. It sounded far-fetched to Connie and her co-workers. “People were like, ‘No, that’s not really happening. There’s no way they’re holding up green card holders or people that have already been awarded visas.’” But later she got home and started reading the news. She realized it was true.
The ban, which was immediately challenged in courts nationwide, was halted last week following a ruling by a federal District Court judge in Seattle. On Tuesday, at a hearing before a three-judge panel from the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, Department of Justice lawyers fought to reinstate it. In oral arguments that were live-streamed for the public, DOJ attorney August Flentje argued that the president has vast powers in assessing terrorist threats; when asked by one judge if such determinations are “unreviewable,” Fientje answered yes. The judges seemed unconvinced by the Trump administration’s argument but whatever the ruling, many speculate the matter will reach the U.S. Supreme Court. In the meantime, even as families cleared to enter the U.S. are reunited with relatives and loved ones, much fear remains about what comes next.
Protestors write letters to Donald Trump in opposition to his travel ban during an interfaith rally for Muslims and refugees at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer on Feb. 4, 2017, in Atlanta, Ga.
Protestors crowd the sidewalks at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport to denounce Donald Trump’s executive order restricting refugees and travelers from seven Muslim-majority countries, Jan. 29, 2017.
One week after the protest in Atlanta, across the state border to the north, Fuad Sharef Suleman and his family were scheduled to arrive at Nashville International Airport, after an 18-hour journey from Iraq. It was Super Bowl Sunday and the game was well underway, yet some 200 people had come to the airport that night to greet them. Suleman had been traveling to Tennessee with his wife and three children when Trump’s ban was announced; they found themselves stopped by authorities in Cairo and sent back home. Suleman was devastated. He had worked as a translator in Iraq following the U.S. invasion, which turned him and his family into a target. They waited two years for a special immigrant visa to come to the United States. When the visas came through, Suleman and his wife sold their home, quit their jobs, and took their kids out of school, ready to settle in Nashville.
In the days after they were barred entry, attorneys, elected officials, and activists with the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition called on U.S. officials to allow the family into the country. Nashville is home to the largest Kurdish population in the United States; many city residents wrote letters and called politicians to voice their opposition to the ban. At an evening rally and vigil on February 1 — part of a statewide day of action that saw events from Memphis to Chattanooga — a speaker announced to cheers that the pressure had worked: The Suleman family would be arriving in Nashville within days.
Born in a refugee camp in Turkey, where her parents lived for years, Beimal grew up in Nashville. As the years passed, Faulk occasionally ran into her around the city: at the middle school where she tutored for a time; at Edwin Warner park, a go-to gathering spot for Nashville’s Kurdish community. Last year, Faulk was hospitalized at the Vanderbilt University Medical Center when she spotted one of her former Head Start students, now an adult, who told her that Biemal was there too, just a few floors away, now working as a nurse in the intensive care unit.

 Describe the importance of Asian-American activism and solidarity in today's society.

People in my community do, in fact, say these things all the time. Whether we realize it or not, anti-blackness is deeply ingrained in many East and South Asian communities. Aside from the more glaringly racist comments made in private, this fact is evident in our growing media representation: Why, for example, did Brian Imanuel think Rich Chigga was a good stage name? Why did South-Asian rapper Heems justify his use of the N-word? And why did Eddie Huang state that Asian men face just as much racism as black women? In the comments we make and the communities we exclude, we seem to recognize our own marginalization but perpetuate stereotypes about other communities of color.
For me, realizing such exclusion began with the gradual exposure to Asian-American activism—at home, a relatively rare phenomenon, even if we were all at least semi-conscious of our otherness. Nearly every waking moment of the day, I am hyperaware of the space I take up in this world. To be an Asian-American woman is to know that others will look at you, realize you exist somewhere between there and here, and immediately decide how they will make sense of you. People do not need to ask me what I am—Chinese? Korean? Something in between?—to assume that I will behave a certain way in this world, just like every other Asian woman before me. Maybe I have internalized some of this—I associate Asianness with delicious spices, bright silk dresses, and my first lantern festival; in a culture that canonizes conformity and silence, however, I do not associate it with speaking up—especially about social inequities.
Nothing was more surprising than New York, where people express their beliefs boldly and unapologetically. At Columbia, I met Asian student-activists who championed intersectional feminism and recognition of people of color, posting lengthy Facebook statuses about institutional oppression and white privilege. They touched upon more race-specific issues as well—the fetishization of Asian women, for example, and the model minority myth. Although witnessing activism was not entirely new to me—at home, my peers would occasionally speak up about socioeconomic disparities and call out microaggressions—I had never encountered so many Asian peers who so easily broke the cultural confines of silence and conformity.
This is not to say that Asian Americans don’t boast a rich history of activism. During the 20th century, the Asian-American movement promoted engagement in New Left movements such as the movement against the Vietnam War, the Berkeley Free Speech Movement, and protests against Japanese internment camps. More recently, Asian activists have mobilized against the president’s move to end immigration policies like DACA and the RAISE Act, as well as Massachusetts’s Disaggregation Bill. More Asians are gaining representation in entertainment and media—and they’ve spoken up about the injustices they’ve encountered along the way.
But what does it mean that an Asian-American police officer killing an unarmed black man produced the largest wave of Asian-American activism in recent history? For the first time, my Asian friends from back home—many of whom rarely speak up about social issues—lambasted Peter Liang’s manslaughter conviction. “He did nothing wrong,” they reasoned. “The world is against us.” But deep down, there seemed to be a different question on the table for my peers: If white officers get away with this all the time, why can’t Asians, too?
It’s true that Asian Americans benefit from white institutions—and more so than any other community of color. Although Asians still face discrimination in the workplace, they make more money than any other ethnic group—white people included—in the United States. The model minority myth, although incredibly harmful, has long been used to extol whiteness, divide Asians and other people of color, and justify the disproportionate amount of poverty and profiling experienced by black and brown people.
So how can Asian Americans practice a more inclusive activism? It’s a long process, but we’ve made some notable strides. Letters for Black Lives and Asians4BlackLives are projects that address anti-blackness in Asian communities, and more activists are calling upon Asians to support Black Lives Matter. On campus, the Asian American Alliance denounced the Peter Liang protests, standing in solidarity with Akai Gurley. And still, we can—and must—do more. We need to address the ways in which we are complicit in perpetuating institutional racism, despite being disenfranchised ourselves. We must re-examine the microaggressions we make against other people of color, stop using African-American Vernacular English, and show up for other marginalized communities when they need us. While activism in Asian-American communities should be celebrated, it is more important than ever that we stand with our fellow people of color. In the face of violent white supremacy, solidarity—which begins with breaking a culture of silence and prejudice—might just mean everything.

 Have you heard about Colin Kaepernick's legal team challenging the new NFL anthem policy?

An NFL owner testified under penalty of perjury that he changed his mind about hiring NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick because of President Trump’s comments, Kaepernick’s attorney Mark Geragos told me on my podcast “Straight Aim” Tuesday .
The Kaepernick legal team has already conducted more than 14 depositions of league coaches, managers and owners including billionaire Patriots owner Bob Kraft Geragos said, revealing that several owners have testified that Trump and/or Kaepernick’s position regarding the national anthem influenced their hiring practices.
“The only reason — and the owners will admit that — they haven’t signed him is they’re afraid of Trump, and they’ve colluded because of Trump,” Geragos said.
The new policy requires NFL players to stand for “The Star-Spangled Banner” if they are on the field, but also gives them the option to remain in the locker room without penalty. Teams with players on the field who refuse to stand will be fined and the players themselves could be subject to discipline from their clubs or the NFL.
“Yea, we are clearly gonna use it,” Geragos replied.
When asked whether the NFLPA will legally challenge the new NFL Anthem Policy, Geragos said, the Anthem policy will “absolutely” be challenged but that he could not cite who will be filing a suit.
As for the NFL, Geragos said, “They’ve made the choice they are gonna opt on the white nationalistic side as opposed to any other demographic, “ commenting that the NFL was doing polling based on demographics and ethnicity and nationality.
Following the announcement of the new NFL anthem policy, Vice President Mike Pence tweeted an article mentioning the new policy with the hashtag #winning. Geragos responded on Twitter by tweeting a link to a federal criminal law 18 USC 227 which makes it a crime for the President or Vice President to influence private employment decisions solely on the basis of partisan political affiliations, and hash tagged it #winning.
Geragos discussed on the podcast why he believes the President is committing a federal crime by influencing the NFL’s hiring practices and whether the President can be indicted by the Department of Justice on that basis. Geragos said there will be a “direct consequence” for Pence’s actions. Listen to the discussion here.

 What’s the biggest natural disaster that happened in 2003?

On this day in 2003, the United Kingdom records its first-ever temperature over 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Throughout the month, an intense heat wave scorched the European continent, claiming more than 35,000 lives.
August 2003 was the hottest August ever recorded in the northern hemisphere and broke all previous records for heat-related deaths. France was the worst hit, with almost 15,000 victims, followed by Germany, where approximately 7,000 people died. Thousands also died in Spain and Italy. A majority of the victims were elderly, very young, or chronically ill.
When a person experiences extreme heat, their bodies can struggle to cool themselves—which can prove especially dangerous in the very old, very young or already ill. If a person’s internal body temperature reaches 104 degrees Fahrenheit, the organs can began to fail and the person can eventually die. The Washington, D.C.-based Earth Policy Institute estimates that more people die every year from heat than floods, tornadoes and hurricanes combined.
In addition to directly causing deaths, the extreme heat also caused massive fires. In Portugal, 10 percent of the country’s forests were destroyed and 18 people were killed in the fires. The heat also caused glacial melt, flash floods and avalanches in Switzerland.
Scientists project that, because of global warming, the earth’s average temperature will continue to rise, reaching 42.44 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century, a gain of 2.5 degrees. Because of this, the World Meteorological Organization predicts that the number of annual heat-related deaths might double by 2023. Most researchers agree that the only way to stop the slow rise in global temperatures is to reduce levels of the carbon-dioxide emissions that contribute to global warming.

 What did you think of the Jets game last night?

Oh, what a wonderful Thursday Night Football game last night. My New York Jets stay in the mix by beating those divisional rival Bills thanks to penalties galore and missed opportunities (not what you normally want to hang your hat on if you're a professional football team). That D-line meant business, the run game had a little pep in it's step, the receivers were clicking and ol' Treadwell McCown had some stride in his glide (could be problematic since he's 38, but let's keep them fingers crossed he refrains from getting his block knocked off). Just a super satisfying win for a squad that was expected to put up a goose-egged win column for 2017. They've got the Bucs next week then a bye the week after, but then have the Chiefs, Broncos, Saints and Pats down the pipeline. Gonna be real tough slog, but that's the trials of the pigskin.
And I said it before and I'll say it again, Tony Romo is dynamite in the broadcast booth. He's smooth, smart and quick enough to give a good breakdown of what happens between the hashmarks and on the sidelines. You can even tell Jim Nantz digs what he's doing.
May they miss out on the Sam Darnold sweepstakes? Looks that way, but who knows what kind of crazy wheeling and dealing will come at season's end when you got a dude named Woody pulling the strings.

 Respond in detail. What implications can be drawn from the study discussed in the text that uses the Los Angeles Times' controversial teacher-rating project as a case study?

Value-added estimates of teacher effectiveness vary depending on the controls and statistical regressions chosen, points out a report released yesterday that uses the Los Angeles Times' controversial teacher-rating project as a case study.
Using the same data set as the newspaper, the report from the National Education Policy Center re-runs the data using a different value-added model, and reaches quite different conclusions about which teachers are effective. According to its analysis of the data, 46.5 percent of teachers in reading stayed in the same quintile of effectiveness under the NEPC model as in L.A. Times' model, while 60.5 percent teachers in math stayed in the same quintile.
The group says that the differences are due to the L.A. Times' method, which it contends didn't account for potentially important factors, like teacher "peer effects," a longer history of student achievement, and additional school factors. The NEPC, which has generally been critical of value-added measures of teacher effectiveness, claims that this analysis undermines the L.A. Times' project.
It also finds evidence that the value-added method couldn't account for the non-random assignment of students to teachers, a problem researchers like Jesse Rothstein of Berkeley have also highlighted.
But L.A. Times officials said that the NEPC review didn't acknowledge that the newspaper excluded some 5,000 teachers from its analysis for some of the reasons indicated in the NEPC study.
NEPC receives funding from a National Education Association-funded think tank, the Great Lakes Center. The L.A. Times reporter covering the NEPC report is the same one who spearheaded the paper's series using value-added data. I'll leave you all to start the requisite finger pointing.
There is clearly an awful lot of he-said-she-said going on here, so for another view, check Nick Anderson's write-up in The Washington Post. He quotes several statisticians who note that there's no research consensus about which value-added regressions, methods, and controls make for the "best" or most reliable, precise, and accurate form of teacher measurement.
estimated for LAUSD teachers can be quite sensitive to choices concerning the underlying statistical model."
That's a different issue from whether they should be used at all and to what extent, which has gotten most of the ink. But it's an important thing to think about as more and more states and districts begin this work.
I've made this observation before, but it bears repeating: If value-added is to be a part of teacher evaluations—and not end up in the courts—then all parties involved, like school leaders, unions, teachers, and principals, are probably going to have to sort through all the various options and formally agree on the formulas to be used.

 What is HTTP and how does it work?

This is the first part in a two part series on HTTP security and HTTP basics. In this first part we bring you overview of the HTTP protocol.
HTTP is a ubiquitous protocol and is one of the cornerstones of the web. If you are a newcomer to web application security, a sound knowledge of the HTTP protocol will make your life easier when interpreting findings by automated security tools, and it’s a necessity if you want to take such findings further with manual testing. What follows is a security-focused introduction to the HTTP protocol to help you get started.
HTTP is a message-based (request, response), stateless protocol comprised of headers (key-value pairs) and an optional body. Three versions of HTTP have been released so far — HTTP/1.0 (released in 1996, rare usage), HTTP 1.1 (released in 1997, wide usage) and HTTP/2 (released in 2015, increasing usage).
The HTTP protocol works over the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). TCP is one of the core protocols within the Internet protocol suite and it provides a reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of a stream of data, making it ideal for HTTP. The default port for HTTP is 80, or 443 if you’re using HTTPS (an extension of the HTTP over TLS).
HTTP is a line-based protocol, meaning that each header is represented on its own line, with each line ending in a Carriage Return Line Feed (CRLF) with a blank line separating the head from the optional body of the request or response.
Up to HTTP/1.1, HTTP was a text-based protocol, however, with HTTP/2 this has changed — HTTP/2, unlike its predecessors is a binary protocol with most implementations requiring TLS encryption. It’s worth noting that for the vast majority of cases (and certainly, for this article) interacting with the HTTP/2 protocol won’t be any different. It’s also worth mentioning that HTTP/1.1 isn’t going away anytime soon, and it’s still early days for HTTP/2 (as such, HTTP/1.1 will be referenced throughout this article).
In order to initiate an HTTP request, a client first establishes a TCP connection to a specified server on a specified port (80 or 443 by default).
The request would start with an initial line known as a request line which contains a method (GET in the following example, more on this later), a URL (/, indicating the “root” of the host in the below example) and the HTTP version (HTTP/1.1 in the below example). We must also include a Host header in order to tell the HTTP client where to send this request.
The above is exactly what a browser does when you type in http://www.example.com into its URL bar. If we wanted to get the contents of http://www.example.com/about.html, we would send the following request instead.
The HTTP protocol defines a number of HTTP request methods (sometimes also referred to as verbs), which are used within HTTP requests to indicate to the server a desired action for a particular resource.
GET The GET method is used to retrieve a resource from a server.
POST The POST method is used to submit data to a resource.
TRACE The TRACE method is used to echo back anything sent by the client. This HTTP method is typically abused for reflected Cross-site Scripting (XSS).
PATCH The PATCH method is used to apply partial updates to a resource.
PUT The PUT method is used to replace a resource.
HEAD The HEAD method is used to retrieve a resource identical to that of a GET request, but without the response body.
DELETE The DELETE method is used to delete the specified resource.
OPTIONS The OPTIONS method is used to describe the supported HTTP methods for a resource.
CONNECT The CONNECT method is used to establish a tunnel to the server specified by the target resource (used by HTTP proxies and HTTPS).
On the server side, an HTTP server listening on port 80, sends back an HTTP response to the client for what it has requested.
The HTTP response will contain a status line as the first line in a response, followed by response. The status line indicates the version of the protocol, the status code (200 in the below example), and, usually, a description of that status code.
Additionally, the server’s HTTP response will typically also include response headers (Content-Type in the below example) as well as an optional body (with a blank line at the end of the head of the request).
HTTP response status codes are issued by the server within an HTTP response to let the client know what the status of the request is. Status codes are organized in the following categories.
Some of the most relevant HTTP status codes for web application security testing are the following, however, a full list of status codes and their description may be found here.
200 OK Indicates that the request has succeeded.
301 Moved Permanently Indicates that the resource requested has been permanently moved to the URL within the Location response header.
302 Found (Temporary Redirect) Indicates that the resource requested has been permanently moved to the URL within the Location response header.
401 Unauthorized Indicates the request could not be served due to insufficient authentication.
403 Forbidden Indicates that the server understood the request but refuses to authorize it.
404 Not Found Indicates that the server can not find the requested resource.
405 Method Not Allowed Indicates that the request method is known by the server, but it is not allowed to be used with this resource.
500 Internal Server Error Indicates that the server encountered an unexpected condition that prevented it from fulfilling the request.

 What is the likelihood that Donald Trump's HHS secretary nominee, Alex Azar, will push policies that benefit pharmaceutical companies' pocketbooks?

His record suggests he’s unlikely to push pricing policies that would hit pharmaceutical companies’ pocketbooks.
President Donald Trump tweeted Monday that his nominee for HHS secretary, Alex Azar will “be a star for … lower drug prices!” But the record of the former top executive for Eli Lilly, which tripled the price of a top-selling insulin drug while he led its U.S. operation, suggests a different story.
Lilly is one of three drug companies targeted by a class-action lawsuit that accuses the company, then under Azar’s watch, of exploiting the drug pricing system to ensure higher profit for insulin and has been fined in Mexico for colluding on the pricing of the drug .
Azar, who spent almost a decade at Eli Lilly, rising to become president of the drug giant’s U.S. operations before leaving earlier this year, doesn’t deny drug costs are a consumer issue. But his record there and as a top official in George W. Bush’s administration suggests he’s unlikely to push pricing policies that would hit pharmaceutical companies’ pocketbooks.
In recent years, Azar has defended pricing practices, and argued against the approaches to reduce costs to consumer s as Trump endorsed during his campaign, such as allowing the government to negotiate drug prices and importing medicines from oversees.
Instead, Azar has followed the pharma messaging playbook on drug pricing — deflecting attention to other parts of the health system, and even other countries, blaming them for the high drug costs paid by U.S. patients. He’s also justified drug prices as the cost of innovation.
Trump’s focus on drug pricing in announcing Azar’s nomination didn’t win over doubters, who no longer believe he is serious about going after the industry he once slammed as “getting away with murder.” But it will make it easier for critics to pounce on what will likely be the toughest barrier for Azar to overcome during his confirmation process in the Senate.
Sen. Bernie Sanders said Monday he will “vigorously oppose” the nomination of Azar.
“During Mr. Azar’s tenure at Eli Lilly, this multi billion-dollar corporation dodged taxes while charging Americans outrageously high prices for life saving prescription drugs,” Sanders said.
Sanders and Rep. Elijah Cummings commenced an investigation into Eli Lilly’s rising prices for insulin last year, spurring attorneys generals in Washington and New Mexico to look into the matter. The lawmakers questioned why the prices of the diabetes medicine whose main patent expired 75 years ago have seen huge jumps in recent years, with competitors often raising prices in tandem. One of Eli Lilly’s insulins, Humulin R U-500, rose 325 percent in price from 2010 to 2015.
Cummings tweeted that picking Azar is “like a fox guarding the hen house,” and a “slap in the face,” to Americans waiting for action on lower drug prices.
Azar contends the outrage over drug pricing “erupted because we have seen a complete fundamental restructuring of health insurance,” with a shift to high-deductible plans that puts the burden of drug costs on employees and individuals, he said at a conference in May.
While Azar makes a valid point, changing insurance policies without addressing drugmakers’ markups of existing drug prices, or high launch prices for new medicines, “is avoiding the elephant in the room.” said Ameet Sarpatwari, who studies drug prices at Harvard Medical School.
Even Azar acknowledged in his speech that if insurance companies reduced consumers’ out of pocket charges for medicines, those costs would show up elsewhere, likely in premium increases.
Azar has also attacked government regulators and payers for devaluing pharmaceutical innovation, suggesting that if the U.S. cuts pharma profits, it will see decreased investment in new drugs and fewer new cures.
“The narrow focus of costs of medicine to the exclusion of innovation would be self-defeating in the long run,” Azar said in a 2014 speech.
Sarpatwari worries such views will lead Azar to promote the idea that making it quicker and easier for drug makers to introduce new medicines will reduce pharmaceutical costs. Researchers have found that drug companies don’t price their products any cheaper when FDA lets them use the accelerated approval process or other tactics to speed drugs to market. Former FDA Commissioner Robert Califf recently said that despite claims by the Trump administration that faster drug approvals lead to lower cost drugs, there is no direction relationship between the cost of development and price of drugs.
Nonetheless, in June, Azar told Fox Business that getting more new drugs to market to increase competition among brands would help bring U.S. prices down. Yet there’s only one example the drug industry can point to in the U.S. where brand competition has led to lower prices — and many where competitors simply raise prices in tandem. For example, Democrats recently launched a probe into the rising price of multiple sclerosis drugs where drugs introduced decades ago have raised prices to match their newer competitors.
And while Azar expresses support for competition, one of the major factors keeping generic versions of insulin off the market have been drug company tactics known as evergreening — making incremental tweaks to their insulin versions or the devices that deliver it, to extend their monopolies for decades.
An article published in The Lancet in late 2015 found that most of the recent innovation in the insulin market has centered on improvements in delivery devices, blocking generics by agents that are indirectly related to the drug.
Azar has also opposed other ideas to encourage competitive drug pricing. He’s spoken out against studies known as comparative effectiveness research, used to determine which drugs are most cost-effective for treating patients with a disease. He argues that all options should be available since different patients may need different medicines. The problem however, is that if payers must make all drugs available, they have little leverage to negotiate lower drug prices with industry.
The result is that despite Trump’s tweets praising Azar as a champion for lower costs , few fighting for lower drug prices are pinning their hopes on action by Azar.
“This nominee has impeccable big pharma credentials but non-existent credentials when it comes to concerns on drug prices,” said Peter Welch, co-chair of the House Democrats Drug Pricing Task Force.

 Describe the new game "Robotory" released by 9th Impact.

Galway-based 9th Impact, a firm that build games for mobile phones, has released its latest game.
Robotory is “an endless arcade game”, available exclusively on iOS, which features a group of robots who are trying to escape their factory as the floodwaters rise. They must jump through layers of pipes and moving floors while avoiding the drones and electric fences in their way.
Inspired by the classic Jumping Jack game which older gamers will remember from the ZX Spectrum and with some Crossy Road influences and an almost Machinarium graphic style, the game features simple controls and endless free gameplay.
“It takes some vision and skill to time the jumps through the levels correctly, especially as more obstacles and enemies are introduced the higher you get,” says Finn Krewer, head of games at 9th Impact.
Every few games there is a casino type slot machine which players can spin for the chance to unlock new characters (which they can otherwise purchase) or win golden nuts, which are the game’s currency. The golden nuts are used to revive the robots when they’ve met their end, so you can keep playing although there is a maximum of three revives allowed per game.
“Our small team are big fans of classic games and we’re always thinking of ways to make them better suited to the smartphone conditions,” explains Fabio Stara whose official title at the company is ‘master chef’.
The first game made by the outfit at the Galway Technology Centre was called NinjaGo Endless Runner and has been played more than three million times in six months.

 Does Microsoft have any way to rent or buy movies on mobile devices?

If you’re not clear what that means, you can refer back to my October 2017 post, Disney’s Movies Anywhere is Anywhere But Microsoft. At that time, I explained that the Movies Anywhere service, which supports content from Disney, Fox, Sony Pictures, Universal and Warner Bros., works with virtually every digital video service and device there is. Except Microsoft’s.
In the meantime, Movies & TV is still a great place for Windows 10 and Xbox One users to rent movies or buy TV show episodes.
“On Microsoft Movies & TV [today], customers can rent or buy any of the nearly 200,000 entertainment options to stream on their Xbox or Windows-based devices,” I was told.
And what about mobile devices? Obviously, accessing purchased or rented Movies & TV content on Android and iOS smartphones and tablets would be huge. But Microsoft had nothing to share on that front, sorry.
But look at it this way: If Microsoft does join Movies Anywhere, you will be able to access your content via that mobile app on Android and iOS. So Movies Anywhere compatibility would actually solve both problems.

 What's the deal with snoballs in New Orleans?

Over 50 snoball stands and 250 flavor combinations in the Greater New Orleans area.
Snoballs. Sno-balls. Snowballs. It doesn’t matter how you spell it. Just don’t call it a snow cone – because that’s something different and nowhere near as good. Found in every neighborhood, snoball stands are seasonal, open when the weather gets warm and the demand spikes.
The snoball is the quintessential New Orleans treat – dessert, snack, parental bribe, weekend ritual and perfect antidote to heat and humidity. They give you brain freeze, color your lips and sometimes your shirt, but most of all, they make you happy.
Just as snoballs are a part of this city, so is Peter Mayer Advertising, a leader in marketing since 1967. Our founder, Peter, arrived in New Orleans in the 1930’s. Often, he and his friends would scrounge up a few pennies, run to the neighborhood “snoball guy,” and drool in anticipation as the vendor hand-shaved a snoball for each kid. His love of snoballs grew as he entered adulthood. If you gave him a neighborhood, he could quickly tell you the best stand in that part of town.
We built this Snoball Finder to honor two of Pete’s favorite things – his city and his favorite treat. Enjoy.

 Summarize "The Messengers" by Mike Clelland.

Given that the book runs to almost 400 pages, and deals with a curious, under-appreciated and under-reported phenomenon, some might assume that The Messengers contains a great deal of padding. They would, however, be dead wrong. The sheer, collective level of data, witness testimony, and case-histories is massive. And, as you will surely have guessed by the title of this article, the book deals with the connection between the UFO phenomenon and owls. A deeply strange phenomenon, to be sure.
The chapter titled “Owls as a Screen Memory” demonstrates something notable: that the UFO phenomenon often uses the owl motif as a means to mask the real nature of certain UFO encounters. Witnesses tell of seeing impossibly large owls, very often while driving late at night, and in situations involving so-called “Missing Time.” We’re talking about people assuming they saw large, anomalous owls, when the reality of the situations was likely very different. Does the UFO phenomenon utilize owl-like imagery to try and ensure the witness fails to realize what really happened? This particular chapter suggests that’s exactly what’s going on.
This issue is further expanded on in the “Owls and the UFO Abductee” chapter, which further amplifies the connections. What’s particularly interesting about this chapter, however, is that it shows many encounters between owls and abductees involve real owls; and not screen-memories of something very different. In other words, as Mike Clelland shows time and again, the answer to this puzzle is not based solely around an “aliens are hypnotizing people into thinking they have seen owls, rather than ETs”-themed situation. It’s way weirder.
This all leads us towards another fascinating chapter: “Owls=UFOs=Synchronicity.” I have personally experienced numerous UFO-themed synchronicities over the years, some of them of a very bizarre and surreal nature. You may well have found yourselves in such situations, too. Certainly, in relation to owls of both the real and the mysterious kind, Clelland has some amazing accounts to relate, some of them focused upon himself.
So, what’s going on? Well, without giving away all of Clelland’s theories and ideas, it’s important to note that the book goes far beyond the matter of those aforementioned “nuts and bolts”-type UFOs. We’re talking about such issues as owls, the afterlife, and the realm of the dead; the domain of ancient owl-based folklore and mythology; owl-themed dreams; connections between owls and altered states of mind; matters relative to conspiracy and cover-up; and mysterious owls in the worlds of movies, novels, and television.
As Mike Clelland skilfully demonstrates, the UFO-owl issue is a real one. It’s not, however, an issue that can be explained in simple terms. The entire situation is multifaceted, requires an open mind to appreciate it, and is fascinating, uplifting, and disturbing in equal measures. This is a very important book on an enigma-filled topic that – finally – has the extensive treatment it deserves. And it may very well radically change your thoughts on the real nature of the UFO enigma. And also on what passes for reality itself.

 What can you tell me about the US election results and how they might impact Canada?

A majority of Canadian voters are dissatisfied with the results of the Tuesday’s historic U.S. election and believe Donald Trump will be bad for Canada, a new poll suggests.
According to a Forum Research poll, 53 per cent of Canadian voters said they were not at all satisfied with the outcome of the election, while 17 per cent said they were not very satisfied. Fifty-five per cent of respondents agreed that Trump as president would be bad for Canada, and 73 per cent overall disapprove of him.
But Canadians didn’t overwhelmingly support for Hillary Clinton either, with 40 per cent of respondents saying they disapproved of the Democratic candidate.
While most Canadians don’t approve of Trump, there does appear to be a faction of voters in Canada that do support the Republican president-elect. When it came to Conservative voters, 45 per cent approved of Trump (compared to 9 per cent of Liberal voters) and 52 per cent were satisfied with the election results (compared to 13 per cent of Liberals).
Regionally, Trump received more support in Alberta, where 33 per cent said they approved of him, compared to 20 per cent in Ontario, 13 per cent in Quebec and 11 per cent in Atlantic Canada.
“Albertans not only lean Conservative, but they had a huge stake in the election as Trump has talked the Keystone XL pipeline,” Bozinoff said.
The poll also showed that 80 per cent of the women sampled said they disapproved of the Republican candidate, compared to 65 per cent of men.
Using interactive voice-response telephone calls, Forum surveyed 1,474 Canadian voters on Wednesday and Thursday. Results are considered accurate, plus or minus three percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
Despite rhetoric throughout the American election about the need to scrap international trade deals, a separate Forum poll with the same sample size found that Canadians still support Canada’s major free trade agreements.
In the random sampling of voters, 51 per cent approved of the recently ratified Comprehensive Economic Trade Agreement (CETA) that Canada signed with Europe while 34 per cent were unsure. Meanwhile, 65 per cent of respondents approve of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) signed with the U.S. and Mexico.
Where appropriate, results of the survey have been statistically weighted by age, region, and other variables to ensure the sample reflects the actual population according to the latest census data.
Forum houses its complete results in the data library of the University of Toronto’s political science department.

 Describe the game "Riftwalker" to me.

We’ve started up a weekly family game night at my house lately, it’s a good way to de-stress and unwind and unplug. We normally did this on the weekends, but have decided to add a day to the week to help us through. Recently, we were given the privilege of obtaining a copy of Riftwalker to try out and we really enjoyed it. So let me tell you all about it. It plays 2-4 players and takes about a half an hour to play. The rules say up to 45 minutes, but in our playthroughs we never found it taking quite that long.
The game uses a 3×3 grid of element cards as its main mechanic, each one is double sided and shows a nice corner peel effect to show you what element is on the other side. The goal of the element cards is to get 3 in a row, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally (like tic-tac-toe) so that you can burst your rifts to get points. On a player’s turn they must either flip one of the element cards to its other side, or place a new one from the deck, which effectively sends whatever element was there to the bottom of the draw deck. Players will then play a rift card from their hand that corresponds with the color that they flipped to or placed. This is called exploring a rift.
Rift cards are the bread and butter of the game here, they are laid out horizontally with no point value, each one has unique effects that change the flow of the game; from letting you search the deck for other cards, manipulate other rifts on the table, manipulate the element grid, and lots more. You have 3 cards in hand to choose from, and once you’ve laid out a rift, on following turns you can then shift the rifts, rotating the card to see it’s point value increase each time. The first shift is worth 3, and the second is worth 7. After doing this you then move on and start bursting rifts, to burst a rift there must be 3 elements lined up on the grid that match the rift you’re going to burst. You can only do this once (unless card rules override) per turn, so you’ve gotta make it count!
So that’s essentially the game, after this you refresh your cards and draw back up to 3 and check to see how many rifts have been burst, depending on the number of players, after X amount of bursts have occurred, each player gets 1 more turn and then the game ends. You total up your points from the rifts and see who had the most, and they’re the winner.
The game’s artwork is gorgeous, the production value of the cards is spot on what you’d expect from someone like AEG or Fantasy Flight, and the bright colors really appealed to my kiddos. My son who is almost 10 needed no help playing the game, and my daughter who is almost 7 needed help with some of the card mechanics but got the rest of it just fine. Not that this game is being marketed to kids, but I just like to toss in just how easy it was to pick up and play this game with less than 5 minutes of reading rules, prep, etc. We found ourselves saying shift the rift a lot during the game, because has a nice ring to it too!
The game isn’t funded on Kickstarter yet, so if you’re interested, you should really head over and back it! Riftwalker is a unique, fun little game that can be played by anyone, and might even serve as a cool gateway game into the hobby for those acclimated. Until next time, game excellently with one another!

 Describe the game Subway Surfers.

Subway Surfers is an endless runner game first released in 2012.
The game is now the very first title in the Google Play Store’s history to reach one billion downloads.
The developers discuss plans for the franchise, including licensing deals and animated films.
Earlier this week, we published an article about how mobile gaming now makes twice as much money as console and PC gaming combined. If there were any skepticism about just how big mobile gaming is, we now have another statistic to add to the pile: Subway Surfers, the endless runner mobile game phenomenon, just hit one billion downloads on the Google Play Store.
Subway Surfers now has forever bragging rights as it is the very first game in the Google Play Store’s history to reach that milestone. According to a statement from Kiloo, which co-develops the game with Copenhagen-based studio SYBO Games, the one billion number refers to “the number of unique users who have installed the app on at least one device for the first time.” In other words, if you install the game on two devices with the same Google account attached to them, that still only counts as one download in the one billion total. However, if you have two devices with two different Google accounts associated with them, that would count as two downloads.
“We are thrilled to be the biggest game in the world on the Google Play platform. Surpassing one billion downloads is a historic accomplishment. In this case, history was written by a talented team of developers and a fantastic collaboration between SYBO and Kiloo,” says Jacob Møller, CEO of Kiloo.
Subway Surfers is certainly not the first endless runner game (that record goes to Canabalt), but it is one of the earlier success stories in the genre. In the game, you are a graffiti-tagging city dweller, running through the subways of famous cities dodging cops, dogs, trains, and other obstacles. On the way, you collect coins and gain powerups.
The game’s colorful graphics, silly premise, and charming characters, made it a breakout success when it first dropped in 2012. But no one could have anticipated it becoming the biggest mobile game in the world. However, this success hasn’t stopped Kiloo and its partner developer SYBO from setting bigger goals in the future.
“We have achieved greatness by combining our strengths at SYBO and Kiloo. The continued growth of the game and brand is our focus, and we are excited about future releases, and the animated short films that are launching later this year. The players will have even more great content to consume,” said Mathias Gredel Noervig, the CEO of SYBO.
Hopefully, the eventual licensing of the brand doesn’t lead to an oversaturation that ultimately hurts the franchise, like what happened with Angry Birds. Luckily for Kiloo and SYBO, they have the benefit of learning from other companies’ mistakes in that regard.
