 Write a review of AirVPN.

Signing up for the service: The first thing that struck me about AirVPN is how elegant the menu of their front page is. Each main section has it’s subsections succinctly located underneath them – in a sort of two tiered bar fashion. This makes finding anything you need very quick and handy as it only requires a click or two to get to almost any part of the site. Because they don’t rely heavily on trackers, issue SSL Certs to themselves (without using CloudFlare, etc), and have a well secured site, they earn the first “Website” badge I’ve ever given out.
The site made it very easy to sign up and also provided the option to NOT create a subscription, but only a one time payment, which is always welcome and conscientious of the service. They also provided a 3 day use pass, which is nice for people who are just looking to try it out.
Configuring the service: I’ve mentioned in the past, there’s one feature in particular that I go crazy for – Config File Generators. AirVPN has possibly the best one I’ve seen to date (using something like 30-40 different services as a baseline between reviews and personal research). It’s fantastic. The process is easy to follow as you scroll down the page. You select your platform, then select the specific server you want a config file for. You can also choose to select entire file packages by country, continent (or planet if you want every server config available). While selecting the servers, you are shown current capacity, city, AND bandwidth – so if you’re looking specifically for a gigabit server, you can see which ones are set up for that and make your choice accordingly. Next you select “connection mode”, from which you can choose from a series of checkboxes, your protocol, port, if you want your certs inline (for Android for example) – or even advanced features like SSH and SSL tunnels, SOCKS, etc. This may sound confusing, but things continue to get better because as these options are sectioned off, they also have instances these options may come in handy (for example your ISP blocks certain things) and guides to help you use them properly.
Once you generate the files, a list appears showing the ones that were generated and letting you download them either one at a time, or in a zipped file in the format of your choice (zip, 7z, tar). If something doesn’t look the way you expected, your configuration is saved below the download links and you can change it to the way you intended without wasting any more time.
Those of you who have read a lot of my reviews, know that I rarely gush about a VPN’s website or additional features, because they’re usually awful and gimmicky, but AirVPN’s Config File Generator is maybe the best and most genuinely useful one I’ve seen yet. Because of this, the fact that they offer many connection methods, and because they offer a PGP key, they are receiving the first ever “Features” badge I’ve given out.
Speed & Stability tests: US speeds on AirVPN were among the fastest I’d seen, however, the international speeds ranged from “pretty good” to “meh”.
All tests performed at UDP – AES-256.
Getting support: I sent support an email through the support section of the website, asking some general questions about logging (they only specify that traffic is not logged, but are not clear one way or the other about DNS Requests, Timestamps, Bandwidth, or IP Addresses. I also asked about whether they support IPv6 (which I can’t find anywhere on the site). They responded within 24 hours with a basic (paraphrasing) “no, we don’t log those things” and “we don’t currently support IPv6, but plan to next year”. When a company claims they don’t log, but don’t have the information cited anywhere, it’s hard to take a support rep’s word for something serious like that. It was a relatively fast response, albeit a little simplistic.
Getting a refund: I replied to the support ticket above simply stating that I was unsatisfied and asked for a refund – within a couple of hours, and without any hassle or questioning whatsoever, it was delivered. Excellent service.
AirVPN secures your connections, not your computer.
It’s interesting that they should make a point of saying this. A lot of services are hyperbolic about how bulletproof their service makes you from a privacy and security standpoint, but its good that they appear to be fairly grounded in reality.
Final thoughts: AirVPN is certainly an above average service with lots to like. However, they aren’t perfect and there is a lot that is questionable to me as well. I know you’re probably sick of it by now, but – FILE GENERATOR (VPN Companies, DO THIS MORE). US speeds were amazing, but international speeds were only so-so. I have to ding them for their choice of marketing tactics – especially because I think they would be in a good position to abandon such a shady strategy and survive on their own merits with some adjustments. It’s really hard for me to take a privacy centric service seriously when they engage in tactics that abuse the trust of their potential customers – as I’ve mentioned in my “guide to choosing a VPN“. They could also be better from a privacy standpoint, as they are based in a fourteen eyes country and don’t have the most clear logging policy when it comes to the finer details. Support was fairly quick (less than 24 hours to respond), but pretty basic in their response, but they granted my refund request super fast, within a couple of hours with no questions asked.
In the end, AirVPN is an above average service for a reasonable price – I just wish they would show they were more serious about trust and transparency in this industry. They are in a position to stand on their own two feet with a couple of adjustments and shouldn’t need to rely on bottom feeders to promote them.

 Describe the 1948 Sunday Empire News Tournament

The 1948 Sunday Empire News Tournament was a professional snooker tournament sponsored by the "Sunday Empire News" newspaper. The tournament was won by Joe Davis with John Pulman finishing in second place. The tournament saw the re-introduction of the popular round-robin handicap format had been used for Daily Mail Gold Cup before World War II. Thurston's Hall, the home of the Daily Mail Gold Cup, had re-opened in late 1947, although renamed as the Leicester Square Hall. It was the only time the tournament was held although the format continued with the News of the World Snooker Tournament.

 Research and provide a list of best Chinese knives, with a description of each.

Best Chinese Knives: Sanrenmu Knives - News, Deals and New Models!
Sanrenmu Knives - News, Deals and New Models!
Sanrenmu knives are well known to most knife folks.
This is an in-house brand of one of the largest knife producers out of China, which also make knives as an OEM factory for Spyderco, Kershaw, Boker+, Ruike, Real Steel and others.
Rumors are that Sanrenmu will soon discontinue a large part of their models, as they will rebrand the company into SRM Knives - higher end brand that will produce on a higher level, but also increase the prices + make new titanium models.
So many of the beloved Sanrenmu are already out of stock and many more will follow in the near future.
I've concentrated a few models which I think are worth to check out because of the great quality+value (I own most of these) and because I think these are worth to try out (especially if will be discontinued soon).
1) Sanrenmu 7130 - Budget Izula killer, great small all-around knife that will perform both outdoors and as a small EDC blade, is on Flash Sale now for a great price.
2) Sanrenmu 910 Plus - Declared by many as the best Sanrenmu knife ever and one of the budget knife Hall-of Famers (which I agree), the Sanrenmu 910 has great quality, action and usability and is on Flash Sale now (only the green version, the black sold out).
3) Sanrenmu S611 - Another awesome fixed blade knife (I own it as well, will review soon), also is a great budget option, especially for folks with small-medium sized hands.
4) Sanrenmu Land 9046 - Great budget utility/rescue knife, one of the best options in this category, has good quality and additional features (glass breaker, locking strop cutter, wrench, safety lock).
I own it and also will review it soon.
5) Sanrenmu S625 - New offering from Sanrenmu, small EDC fixed blade, has interesting original design plus comes with a few good looking color options.

 Explain what happens to Nevada's delegates in the Democratic presidential caucuses.

What happens to Nevada's delegates?
Rachel Maddow talks with Chuck Todd about how Nevada’s Democratic delegate will be apportioned given the confusing outcomes in 2008 and in other states like New Hampshire.
The run up to the Democratic presidential caucuses in Nevada offered something oddly refreshing: a race in which no one really knew what was going to happen. Most pollsters stayed away, and those who tried found a race in which Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders were effectively tied.
As of yesterday morning, no one could say with any confidence who was even favored. But when the dust settled, there was nevertheless a clear winner.
Hillary Clinton won Nevada’s Democratic caucuses on Saturday, NBC News projected, scoring a much-needed boost in the nomination race and depriving rival Bernie Sanders of a victory in a racially diverse state.
The loss is a blow for Sanders, who hoped to use the state’s contest to prove himself as a viable candidate in a state with an electorate made up of more minority voters and fewer self-described liberals than the race’s earlier contests in Iowa and New Hampshire.
With just about all of the precincts reporting, it looks like Clinton’s margin of victory was about six points, 53% to 47%. In terms of delegate distribution, it was also fairly close, with Clinton picking up 19 delegates to Sanders’ 15.
But what makes yesterday’s developments so important has less to do with these precise totals and more to do with the impact on the Democratic race overall.
There are two broad angles to keep in mind. The first is the fact that if Clinton had come up short in Nevada, as many observers predicted, the coverage was going to be brutal. The Washington Post ran a piece last week with an ungenerous headline – “Hillary Clinton could blow it in Nevada” – which seemed emblematic of the general media buzz.
Nevada, the conventional wisdom said, was supposed to be a Clinton “firewall” state, which would help the former Secretary of State bounce back after Sanders’ landslide victory in New Hampshire last week. A Sanders victory would have created chatter about a crumbling “firewall” and a renewed sense of panic among Clinton’s supporters in the party.
Her six-point victory does the opposite.
The second angle is that Nevada was a real opportunity for Sanders to change the trajectory of the race. When the Vermont independent nearly tied Clinton in Iowa, and cruised to an easy win in New Hampshire, skeptics noted that the first two states were practically custom made for the senator: Sanders is strongest in states where the universe of Democratic voters is very white and very liberal. Based on previous performance, that means the three best states in the Union for the senator are, in order, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Iowa.
Nevada, therefore, offered Sanders a chance to prove that he can win in a more diverse state – an argument that would give his candidacy renewed credibility as the race goes forward.
Clinton’s win yesterday means that opportunity has come and gone. Conditions may yet change, but she’s favored to do well in South Carolina’s primary next week, and there’s some polling that suggests she’s well positioned to win most of the March 1 primaries soon after.
Sanders said last night that, in the wake of a defeat, his campaign has “momentum” and “the wind is at our backs.” That pitch would have been far easier to believe had he not come up short in a state he fought to win.

 What do you think of the movie Network?

Forty years ago this month Network was released to widespread acclaim. But its shocking satire turned out to be eerily prescient, writes Nicholas Barber.
When Network was released in November 40 years ago, the poster warned audiences to prepare themselves “for a perfectly outrageous motion picture”. The film was written by Paddy Chayevsky (Marty, The Hospital) and directed by Sidney Lumet (Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon), both of whom made their names in television in the 1950s, and both of whom believed that the industry, and the world, had been in decline ever since.
Network was their furious howl of protest. It was a triumphant black comedy, winning four Oscars, being nominated for two more, and going on to be held in ever higher acclaim. In 2006, the Writers Guilds of America chose Chayevksy’s screenplay as one of the 10 best in cinema history. Last year, BBC Culture’s critics’ poll of the 100 best American films ranked Network at 73.
But is it really “perfectly outrageous”? It’s easy to believe that, in 1976, Chayevsky and Lumet’s bleak view of television’s crassness and irresponsibility was deeply shocking. But the scary thing about re-watching Network today is that even its wildest flights of fancy no longer seem outrageous at all. The film was so accurate in its predictions that its most far-fetched satirical conceits have become so familiar as to be almost quaint.
It opens with a deadpan narrator introducing us to Howard Beale (Peter Finch, who died soon after the film was made, and was awarded a posthumous Oscar), the veteran news anchorman of a fictional New York-based television station, UBS. When he is given two-weeks’ notice as a result of his plummeting ratings, he announces on-air that he will commit suicide on his final programme; brilliantly, the programme’s producers are too busy chatting among themselves to listen. He soon backtracks. He won’t kill himself, he admits, but he will exactly say what’s on his mind. The station’s viewers are thrilled. Rather than sacking him, UBS rebrands him as “the mad prophet of the airwaves”, and encourages him to spout whatever bile comes gushing from his fevered brain.
“Seen a quarter-century later,” wrote Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times in 2000, “it is like prophecy. When Chayevsky created Howard Beale, could he have imagined Jerry Springer, Howard Stern and the World Wrestling Federation?” It’s a fair question. A further 16 years later, though, it’s tempting to ask whether Chayevsky was imagining today’s podcasters, or even today’s shock-jock politicians, who sway voters by “articulating the popular rage” in terms no more sophisticated than Howard’s. Chayevsky and Lumet had more in common with Sybil the Soothsayer than they knew.
But the most prophetic part of Network has little to do with Howard. Running alongside his story, there is a sharper, funnier subplot concerning Diana’s other brainwave: The Mao Tse-Tung Hour. Her idea is a weekly drama series about a real revolutionary group, the Ecumenical Liberation Army, which incorporates footage of genuine crimes committed by the ELA itself. In short: Diana invents modern reality television.
Diana has her idea when she sees some black-and-white footage of an ELA bank robbery - footage that was shot by the robbers themselves. At first, she is amazed. “You mean, they actually shot this film while they were ripping off the bank,” she marvels. Nowadays, though... well, which terrorist cell bothers to commit any crime without filming it? Which television station or social media outlet would hesitate to show such amateur footage? And the crazy notion that shots of a violent crime scene could be spliced into a weekly television docudrama? It didn’t stop American Crime Story: The People v OJ Simpson winning four Emmy Awards. Network repeatedly tells us that Diana is a diabolical femme fatale and a soulless, ambition-crazed moral vacuum. Actually, she is just ahead of her time.
Indeed, if several of the characters and concepts in Network have made the journey from ‘outrageous’ to ‘ordinary’ over the past 40 years, Diana has gone further: she now looks a lot like the film’s heroine. It’s true that she is happy to profit from Howard’s instability and, when his ratings founder again, she has no qualms about arranging his assassination. But, well, nobody’s perfect.
Played with breezy confidence by the searingly beautiful Dunaway, Diana is strong, honest, open about her sexual proclivities, and driven by a buzzing enthusiasm for her job. She is a liberated 1970s career woman, as well as a classic screwball heroine: the missing link between Rosalind Russell’s Hildy in His Girl Friday and Tina Fey’s Liz Lemon in 30 Rock. The only pity is that instead of having a Cary Grant or an Alec Baldwin to trade repartee with, she has the pompous and misogynistic Max, so it’s always a relief when she gets to share a scene with her fiery contact at the ELA, a Communist guerilla named Laureen Hobbs (Marlene Warfield).
Much of Network is depressing to watch now, because it envisages changes in the media which have since come to pass, and they are changes for the worse. But whenever it shows Diana bubbling with innovations, pushing for “counter-culture” and “anti-establishment” programming, and outmanoeuvring the pipe-puffing old men in her way, the film verges on being optimistic. Lumet and Chayevsky probably wouldn’t see it that way, but if there are a few more women like her in network television now than there were in 1976, it has to be change for the better.

 What is your opinion on the FBI's role in the Hillary Clinton email controversy? Respond in 20 sentences.

If you’ve ever handled classified information, you understand that there are often judgment calls at the margins. When I was in Iraq, I often made the first call about classification. In other words, I determined whether to send information up the chain via the unclassified system (NIPRNet) or the classified system (SIPRNet). Entire categories of information were deemed classified by default. Other categories were commonly unclassified. But sometimes, I had to make a choice. And sometimes, the choice wasn’t clear.
The IG indicated that State Department security procedures were lax, and that if the DOJ were to prosecute Hillary, it would have to prosecute many other employees. Well, if the employees are sharing TS/SAP information on unclassified systems, then let the prosecutions commence. But I’m dubious that it’s common to share information that highly classified. In fact, when the IG outlined allegedly “similar” cases where the DOJ declined to prosecute, they weren’t similar at all.
Moreover, it’s important to remember that one can’t generally simply copy/paste or forward emails from classified to unclassified systems. (That’s likely why the emails on her homebrew system didn’t contain classified headers.) A person has take information from one source and summarize it or painstakingly type it out on another platform. All of that takes effort. All of it requires intention. And it’s one reason why I have confidence that if Hillary had been Captain Clinton, United States Army, instead of Secretary Clinton, Democratic nominee for president, then the consequences would have been very different indeed.
In reading the report, I’m reminded of Homer Simpson’s famous declaration, that alcohol is the “cause of, and solution to, all of life’s problems.” For Hillary, the FBI turned out to be first the solution to, then the cause of, the decline of her campaign. By wrongly refusing to recommend prosecution, it made her candidacy possible. By then failing to follow proper procedures in its two later public announcements, it helped end her presidential dream.

 What is the history and culture behind the Philadelphia Cheesesteak?

Geno’s Steaks opens right across the streets from Pat’s, fueling a friendly rivalry that rages to this day.
The Oliveris open their now-iconic South Philly restaurant, Pat’s King of Steaks.
The Cheesesteak is created by Pat and Harry Oliveri, hot dog vendors who just so happened to put steak on the grill.
This seems obvious, but sometimes the obvious answer is the best. You can roll up your sleeves and craft your own sandwich, or you can pay a professional to do it for you. Just know that if the word Philly is in the name, it may not be the most authentic.
If you have the time and money, take a pilgrimage to the magical land where it all started. There are a shocking amount of official cheesesteak tours of Philadelphia, or you can go off the beaten path your own if you’re feeling adventurous. Just be sure to stop at Pat’s and Geno’s.
Cheesesteaks may seem like the last thing that could be made vegan, but there are countless, easy to follow recipes online for plant-based cheesesteaks. If you’re in the mood for a kitchen adventure, try a cheesesteak made from mushrooms, vegetables, soy, wheat, nuts, or pretty much anything else imaginable.
Philly cheesesteaks are traditionally served with Cheez Whiz. End of discussion. You can argue this point forever, but that's the way things currently stand in the motherland: Philadelphia, Pa.
There’s no denying it – cheesesteaks are downright delicious. They prove that you don’t need all kinds of fancy trimmings and trappings to make a delectable sandwich. Sometimes the only ingredients you need are the ones in the name.
Philly loves Ben Franklin, the Eagles, and cheesesteaks — in that order. They're such an integral part of the city’s culture that they generate tourism. But, whatever you do, don’t call it a “Philly Cheesesteak.” It's just a cheesesteak.

 Can you tell me more about Amazon CloudFront's new security features?

Starting today, you can further improve security for your web applications on Amazon CloudFront by selecting a pre-defined security policy that enforces TLS version 1.1 or 1.2 as the minimum protocol version. Amazon CloudFront will automatically select the cipher suite for your selected security policy which it will use to encrypt your content before returning it to viewers over HTTPS. For instance, with this feature, you can select the security policy that enforces TLS version 1.1 and weak ciphers such as RC4 and 3DES will automatically be excluded. This feature is available when you use custom SSL certificates to serve HTTPS requests using SNI.
All existing CloudFront distributions that are configured to use custom SSL certificates and to serve HTTPS requests using SNI will default to use TLS version 1.0 and all supported ciphers except RC4. You can choose to change the security policy for these distributions via the CloudFront console or API. Note that this feature applies to the SSL handshake for viewer connections to CloudFront. Customers already had the ability to specify minimum TLS version 1.1 or 1.2 for the handshake between CloudFront and their custom origins.
There is no additional fee for this feature. For more information about the security policies, that enforce the minimum TLS versions and their associated cipher suite, please see the CloudFront documentation.

 Describe the story of Phiona Mutesi and Robert Katende. Respond in 40 sentences.

I first met Phiona Mutesi in September 2010 sitting on the mud stoop of her family’s shack in one of the most challenging places on earth: Uganda’s Katwe slum. I had been told about Phiona; how at the age of nine she could neither read nor write and had dropped out of school, when she met a Ugandan missionary, Robert Katende, who offered to teach her the game of chess – a sport so foreign in Uganda that there is no word for it in Phiona’s native language – and how in just four years she had become an international chess champion. On that autumn day, Phiona’s mother Harriet looked as defeated as any person I’ve known. She had been forced to relocate Phiona and her two brothers five times in the previous four years, once because they’d been robbed of all their meagre possessions and another time because Harriet feared their house was about to collapse.
Phiona’s latest home consisted of one 10ft x 10ft room with no windows and a tin roof so dilapidated that every rainstorm flooded the shack. The house contained little more than a wash pot, a tiny charcoal stove, a teapot, a worn toothbrush, a cracked mirror, a Bible and two musty mattresses for the entire family to sleep on.
Robert Katende also has no idea when he was born, only that he was an illegitimate child whose mother gave birth to him when she was a secondary-school student. He was transferred to his grandmother’s care, and it wasn’t until Katende was four years old and reunited with his mother in Kampala’s Nakulabye slum that he learned his name was Robert. His mother died when he was around eight and he embarked on an odyssey of despair. Because of civil war in Uganda, he lived much of his childhood on the run, scrounging for food and sleeping hidden in the bush. He would become another slum kid sustained by sport.
Katende had grown up playing football barefoot and by the time he reached secondary school he displayed such wondrous talent as a striker that he took requests from friends to score goals. One day he leapt for a header, crashed into the opposing goalkeeper and the resulting fall nearly killed him.
Though doctors told him he would never play football again, he was back juggling a ball within months and eventually joined a Christian football club that ministered to youth in the slums. Katende had found his calling.
What gave Katende hope was that chess is a test of survival through aggression, an idea with which every slum kid could identify. Katende’s Katwe chess project began with just six students, who would become known as the Pioneers.
The Ugandan trio of slum kids, by far the youngest competitors in the tournament, defeated far more experienced teams from 16 other African nations to win the championship. When they returned to Katwe, they were greeted as conquering heroes. They discussed who might keep the trophy and concluded that none of them could because it would certainly be stolen.
After a few days of getting to know her in September 2010, I flew to Russia with Phiona and Robert for the Chess Olympiad, the world’s most elite team chess event, being staged that year in Khanty-Mansiysk, Siberia. Once again this proved to be a learning experience. Phiona turned on the water for her first ever shower and quickly jumped out. She asked her roommate why anybody would want to use such a thing and then she was informed that there was a handle for hot water as well. One of the youngest players at the tournament, Phiona earned a win and a draw for the Ugandan team in her seven matches.
“That will take a lot of work and perseverance,” Katende told her. Phiona savoured the meals at her hotel’s all-you-can-eat buffet and left Russia stating that returning to Katwe felt like going to jail. It was a trip both triumphant and sobering.
Two years later, Phiona performed well enough in the 2012 Chess Olympiad in Istanbul to become Uganda’s first woman ever to earn a chess title, Woman Candidate Master, the first step on the ladder toward grandmaster. Then she made her first trip to the United States to help promote our book, The Queen of Katwe.
A few days later, I had lunch with the real Phiona. She is now 20 years old and it is remarkable how much she has matured in the six years since I first met her on the stoop of that one-room shack in Katwe. She is still unfailingly humble, unaffected by the publicity swirling around her as the film prepares to premiere in cinemas around the world this autumn. Phiona is a confident young woman, who speaks English fluently. She is in the final year of secondary school at a boarding school in Katwe. She spends holidays at her mother’s newly constructed house in a lush valley several kilometres outside Kampala. Phiona and her family are finally financially secure based on earnings from the book and movie contracts. She told me she is considering going to Harvard university next autumn.
Phiona still dreams of becoming a grandmaster in chess, though she has hit a ceiling in Uganda because there is no coach qualified to train her to a higher level, a barrier that could be erased if she decides to study in the United States.
It’s true that The Queen of Katwe – book and movie – may be complete, but the Queen of Katwe’s story is really just beginning and it will be fascinating to watch her next move.

Short statement, fundraiser adress and banner action in solidarity with anarchists in Yogyakarta in Narrm / Melbourne.
On May Day in Yogyakarta 69 comrades were arrested. There has since been a huge crackdown involving raids and more arrests based on flimsy evidence. At present there are 11 comrades still locked up in Yogyakarta Police Prison, they are isolated and not allowed any contact with comrades outside.
This has only strengthened the resolve of the comrades to keep up the fight against the feudal system ruling Yogja and the Kraton (palace) of the so called sultan.

 What are some tips for making small group instruction successful?

What makes guided reading an effective learning approach for young readers and upper elementary students? Here are 6 Tips for Guided Reading Success.
Create a quality learning environment with space explicitly designed for guided reading.
A quality learning environment is pivotal to ensuring consistency and optimal focus of students, with easy access to resources and material.
A good orientation can take a student from ‘reading for understanding’ to ‘reading for enjoyment’, it’s the first moment you can create a high level of engagement.
Don’t be afraid to pause the story.
When students suddenly interrupt to ask for clarification or seek more information that is a teachable moment – use the laptop to Google pictures, YouTube videos or look up information (don’t make it a regular habit but don’t miss that wonderful opportunity for a light bulb moment).
Everything we do, whether it’s reading, writing, talking, listening is all interconnected and intertwined. It’s not a hindrance but an advantage – it can connect to other KLA’s, other classes, library sessions, technology etc.
As the room gets louder and kids get distracted it can be easy to think that the main task is done because the reading is done – the word work is the icing on the cake!
Peer feedback. Student feedback. Teacher feedback. Professional feedback. Listen to it, accept what you hear, reflect on it and apply changes YOU feel would be beneficial. It doesn’t have to change if you know it works for you and your students, but don’t be afraid to try something new or different.

 What do you know about UC Berkeley's recent Title IX violation investigation?

For the first time in memory, UC Berkeley agreed in March to be placed under indefinite federal Title IX monitoring as a result of an investigation into alleged Title IX violations against the Cal women’s field hockey team.
The resolution agreement, previously undisclosed but obtained by The Daily Californian, put UC Berkeley under monitoring by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, or OCR, until it establishes that it is in compliance with Title IX — the law mandating gender equity in college athletics.
The agreement stemmed from an OCR investigation into the campus field hockey team, which did not have a home field for two consecutive seasons. As a part of the agreement, the campus had to finish construction of the field hockey facilities at Underhill Field. The campus believes this portion is completed, but it has not yet received confirmation from all parties.
The campus has to prove to OCR that men’s and women’s sports have access to comparable competition and practice facilities, and if they do not, the campus has to construct the necessary improvements. The campus is also required to prove it brands and publicizes men’s and women’s sports equally, and if it does not, it is required to make and implement a plan to do so. On top of that, it must also prove to OCR that it allocates recruitment funds equitably. The monitoring will last until OCR determines that UC Berkeley is in compliance.
To enforce the agreement, OCR representatives will visit UC Berkeley to interview staff, students and patrons. An OCR agent visited Underhill Field two weeks ago to inspect the improvements made to the field. Another representative visited campus in July 2016 as well.
The team played at Maxwell Family Field until 2013, when it was converted into a football practice field without a plan for a new field hockey space. For two seasons, the field hockey team played all of its home games at off-campus fields, while practicing on a smattering of fields ranging from Stanford University’s field to the converted roof of the Upper Hearst parking garage on campus.
In May 2015, the OCR opened an investigation into the situation after six players filed a complaint. The players and the campus eventually signed a settlement separate from the OCR agreement which required that the campus make Underhill Field into a fully equipped field hockey facility. Campus missed multiple completion deadlines for the settlement, which left it open to additional litigation.
The players’ settlement was completed by Sept. 1, according to campus officials and Jennifer Reisch, the attorney for six field hockey players who filed a Title IX complaint against the campus.
To complete the players’ agreement, the campus recently installed new stands, team rooms, storage and branded wind screens on the field, as well as a number of smaller items. The total multi-year cost of turning Underhill Field into a field hockey field was an estimated $7.5 million to $8 million, according to campus spokesperson Dan Mogulof.
The campus did not admit any wrongdoing in the OCR agreement, which was signed March 2 by campus athletic director Mike Williams and UC general counsel Charles F. Robinson.
“The amount of money the school spends on women’s sports is nothing compared to football, baseball and men’s basketball,” said Nancy Hogshead-Makar, CEO of Champion Women, a national Title IX lawyer and three-time Olympic gold medal winner. She added that female student-athletes at UC Berkeley lose out on over $2 million in scholarships each year because they are women.
The monitoring adds to the ongoing troubles of the campus athletic department, which is saddled with over $400 million in debt — the most of any athletic department in the country. As the campus enacts wide-ranging budget cuts, Cal Athletics’ large deficit and debt have fallen under scrutiny from campus officials. The campus is currently considering cutting teams as a part of budget cuts, which could complicate its efforts to comply with Title IX.
Chancellor Carol Christ was not immediately available for comment, as she is returning from a UC Board of Regents meeting in San Diego.

 Describe the potential implications of the Sprint/T-Mobile merger.

Despite having more than 50 million customers, Sprint’s network coverage has always kind of been a joke. But just recently, in a somewhat surprising move, Sprint showed us just how bad its LTE coverage actually is in a single, eye-opening infographic.
Normally, Sprint wouldn’t share something this damning. But the company is hoping that by comparing its network coverage against Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T, it can prove to any pesky regulators that its proposed $26.5 billion merger with T-Mobile won’t cause a significant decrease in competition among wireless carriers.
If you compare Sprint’s LTE coverage maps above to what you’d find on the company’s own website, it’s clear there’s a huge gap between the kind of coverage customers might assume they’re getting and what Sprint actually delivers.
Even if you concede that much of the difference between the two can be attributed to the size of Sprint’s overall network versus just its LTE coverage, all that yellow painted across the U.S. is at best more than a little misleading.
Unfortunately, barring some sort of divine intervention, the T-Mo/Sprint merger will probably get approved, which will leave us with three major carriers instead of four. That means the U.S. will be in a similar situation to Canada, which is dominated by three providers: Rogers, Bell, and Telus.
Despite Sprint’s comparably poor LTE coverage, this merger is still something that should strike a little fear into every cell phone user, as our neighbors to the north suffer from some of the highest phone bills in the developed world.
Currently, the Sprint/T-Mo merger is going through a final round of comments that ends shortly on October 9. After that, it will be up to the FCC to decide the deal’s fate, with a final decision that could be announced before the end of the year.

 Have you heard about Drake's recent outfit controversy?

But is the Toronto rapper is new prospect for the group? Probably not.
Drake, aka Toronto’s sweetheart, has come under fire from the police recently for a fall outfit which consisted of a Hells Angels-supporting hoodie.
Toronto police and other Canadian officials have said this demonstrates support of a violent criminal organization which has been in Canadian courts on charges of drug trafficking, weapons charges and murder.
In the photo, which was published to the American rapper Travis Scott’s Instagram—and was later regrammed by Route 81, the shop around the corner from a former Hells Angels clubhouse which sells the gang’s merchandise—Drake can be seen wearing a Toronto Chapter Big Red Machine sweatshirt.
"They want individuals like him to wear their paraphernalia and propaganda to portray a positive image, to counteract and provide a counter-message to messages and reporting from the media and police and, quite frankly, from the victims who they've impacted," Houghton said in an article published Friday.
Police have expressed concern over the message Drake might be sending to his followers as a representative of Toronto who was just gifted a key to the city in 2016 by Toronto mayor John Tory.
The artist has, most glaringly, been criticized for wearing Hells Angels gear after a summer of gun violence in Toronto during which a number of his friends, including Smoke Dawg, Ariela Navarro-Fenoy, and Duvel Hibbert, have been gunned down.
Earlier this year, a 28-year-old man was shot and killed leaving Pick 6ix, a downtown Toronto restaurant which Drake is involved in.
“Drake is going to have to choose between the key to the city or supporting the Hells Angels and organized crime,” said TPA boss Mike McCormack. “We feel you can’t do both.

 "What do you think about the recent developments in the Trump-Sessions drama?"

Still, the political world is beginning to speculate about the fate of the attorney general and the special counsel leading the Russia investigation.
WASHINGTON – President Trump has no plans to fire Jeff Sessions, his spokesperson said Thursday, even after his extraordinary attacks cast doubt on the fate of the attorney general and Robert Mueller, the special counsel leading the Russia investigation.
While Trump still disagrees with Sessions' decision to recuse himself from the Russia investigation, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said, "clearly, he has confidence in him, or he would not be attorney general."
For his part, Jeff Sessions said he plans to continue serving "as long as that is appropriate." He told reporters Thursday: "We love this job. We love this department."
Trump told The New York Times Wednesday that he would not have nominated him for attorney general had he known Sessions would recuse himself from the investigation into Russia's interference in the presidential election. “He should have told me before he took the job and I would have picked somebody else,” Trump said.
The president's comments about a sitting attorney general – who was also one of his biggest supporters during the campaign – caught even senior aides by surprise, and forced some to scramble to explain them.
In the interview, Trump also criticized Mueller for having unspecified conflicts of interest. While Trump cannot technically fire the special counsel, Sanders said the president also "has no intention" to call for Mueller's removal "at this time."
As the White House insisted everything was copacetic, members of Congress and legal analysts saw it differently.
Trump "effectively asked Sessions for his resignation. Will he resign or insist on being fired?" tweeted Preet Bharara, the former New York-based U.S. Attorney removed this year by the Trump administration.
Trump himself, meanwhile, declined to respond to reporters' questions about Sessions after an event in which a group of CEOs announced plans to expand pharmaceutical glass manufacturing plants in the United States.
Sessions said in March he would remove himself from the investigation because he had meetings with Russians officials during the campaign period.
After Trump fired his FBI director, James Comey, deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein appointed Mueller to oversee the investigation into Russian efforts to interfere in last year's election by hacking Democrats, and possible collusion between Trump associates and Russia.
Trump claimed Mueller's office has its own conflicts of interest. He did not elaborate, though Trump and aides have previously questioned the fact that Mueller's staff includes supporters of Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.
Trump also complained that Mueller interviewed for the job of FBI director and therefore should not have accepted the post of special counsel, and that he should not be investigating anything related to the president's finances.
"I have done nothing wrong," Trump said. "A special counsel should never have been appointed in this case."
Yet Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said Trump is trying to intimidate law enforcement officers who are involved in an investigation of him.
FBI Director does not report to the President on specific cases. Someone needs to counsel Mr. Trump on independence of Justice Department.
Mueller, Schiff added, "has authority to investigate any ties Trump family has to Russia, including financial, and anything that arises. That is his duty."
Over at the White House, Sanders repeated Trump's longstanding claims that he has no financial dealings with Russia. "This will be proven to be the witch hunt that it is," she said of the overall investigation.
Still, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said the president's comments about the special counsel investigation could amount to an obstruction of justice.
In a tweet, Blumenthal said "attempts by Trump to limit Mueller investigation, which now includes relevant financial dealings, are inappropriate & possibly illegal."
Trump cannot fire Mueller directly. Only Rosenstein, the deputy attorney general who appointed Mueller, has that authority – and he said last month he sees no good reason to exercise it.
Yet the interview renewed questions about whether Trump wants Sessions to quit – and a new attorney general to do something about Mueller.
Matthew Miller, a former spokesman for President Obama's Justice Department, noted that Trump stepped up his attacks after recent revelations that Mueller's office is now investigating Donald Trump Jr.'s 2016 meeting with a Russian lawyer in the belief she had compromising information on Trump election opponent Hilary Clinton.
"Every time the investigation gets close to him, he reacts," Miller said. "And as it gets closer and closer, it’s hard to see how we avoid a major crisis – whether that’s him forcing a confrontation with DOJ by trying to fire Mueller or issuing preemptive pardons to everyone involved."
As Miller put it: "Winter is coming."
Trump's reactions to the Russia investigation are also under scrutiny. Along with accounts Trump may have pressed Comey to drop the inquiry into former national security adviser Michael Flynn, Comey's abrupt firing prompted calls of an investigation of Trump for possible obstruction of justice.
Sessions, who in recent months has offered the president his resignation, declined to comment in detail on the Times interview. He essentially refused to answer questions about whether Trump's attacks compromise his authority as attorney general.
After a news conference announcing the seizure of assets from an Internet operation selling illegal drugs, Sessions said that "we are serving right now" and he remains "totally confident we are able to run this office in an effective way."
Since recusing himself from the Russia matter, Sessions has been largely traveling the country, railing about violent crime and gangs.
Two weeks ago, he was in Guantanamo to inspect the facilities there, which the Trump administration vows to keep open after Obama's efforts to shutter it failed.
Some lawmakers backed Trump's comments on Sessions.
Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., tweeted: "I agree with @realDonaldTrump, his Attorney General should not have recused himself over reported incidental contacts with Russian officials."
Two words to @SenateGOP when @realDonaldTrump says “I'll have your back" when you vote to repeal health care: Jeff Sessions.

 What is "soft power," and how has Russia been ranked in terms of it?

Russia has been ranked one of the world's greatest ‘soft powers.’ What's this mean?
What about this ranking? Is it at all authoritative?
How do they measure “soft power”?
How did Russia make it to the top 30?
The British PR agency “Portland” has ranked Russia one of world's strongest countries, in terms of “soft power.” Of the 30 most “soft powerful” nations, Russia placed 27th. The United States took first place.
Answering this question depends on how you understand “authority.” Portland's soft-power rankings are still very new. The agency has only conducted this study once before in 2015, when Russia did not place in the top 30 most influential countries. Political scientists aren't known to cite Portland's soft-power rankings, though this is perhaps because the rankings are still relatively new. Portland's methodology for how it carries out its rankings is transparent and available to anyone interested, though the original datasets used to calculate the final results are not open to the public.
Portland is a private PR agency that has worked for various states in the past. From 2006 to 2014, notably, the firm had a contract with the Russian government to improve Moscow's image internationally. Portland has also worked for state officials in Qatar and Kazakhstan—two countries that did not land on the company's list of the top-30 most-influential countries.
Portland says it works with several dozen different criteria, including both “objective” and “subjective” measures. Roughly speaking, the former involves things you can count, and the latter involves evaluations and opinions. Objective measures Portland uses to measure soft power include the number of medals a country won at the last Olympics Games (which helped boost Russia's ranking, given that Russian athletes took home the most medals in Sochi 2014). The company's researchers also weigh the number of diplomatic missions a state sends to other countries, the number of foreign correspondents working in a country, and even the number of foreign followers a country's top officials have on Facebook.
The subjective measures boil down to sociological surveys. Basically, Portland uses polls asking people in different countries what they think about other countries, and how they feel about other countries' culture, technological accomplishments, and so on.
It's hard to say why exactly, given that Portland doesn't publish its raw data. Portland's report notes the influence of the television network Russia Today, the role played by Russian diplomats in peace talks on Syria, and the Russian military's airstrikes against ISIL targets in Syria. The report also notes that Russia's absorption of Crimea, the armed conflict in eastern Ukraine, and various discriminatory laws (like federal legislation against so-called “gay propaganda”) have damaged perceptions of Russia around the world. According to the study, Russia's soft power is lowest according to subjective measures, indicating that survey respondents in countries around the world don't hold Russia in high regard.

 Describe the recent announcement from the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis regarding their list of abusive priests.

The Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis has released the names of 30 priests it believes sexually abused children between 1950 and 2013.
The archdiocese also released the names of four other priests who had been included on an earlier list, but church officials now say those four should not have been included. A Ramsey County judge ordered the archdiocese Monday to release a list of 33 priests that had been sealed since 2009.
Seven of the priests named today were not previously known to the public as accused abusers. Five of those seven are still living. Others, such as the Rev. Robert Kapoun, are already well known through lawsuits and media coverage. About one-third of the priests on the list are dead.
The accused priests have served at nearly half — 92, in total — of the 188 parishes in the archdiocese, according to an email sent to priests Wednesday by vicar general Rev. Charles Lachowitzer, the archbishop's top deputy.
The archdiocese released the names on its website and in the print edition of The Catholic Spirit newspaper, along with each priest's birth year, ordination year, parish assignment history, current status and city of residence. For the deceased priests, it also released the year of death.
The disclosure comes three days after Ramsey County Judge John Van de North ordered the archdiocese to release the names of all the priests on a sealed list of clergy with credible allegations of child sexual abuse against them. The 33 names had been disclosed to attorneys in a 2009 clergy sexual abuse lawsuit, but a judge ordered they remain private.
The number of names on the original list — 33 in total — originated in 2004 when the Rev. Kevin McDonough, then second in command at the archdiocese, told researchers at the John Jay College of Criminal Justice that 33 priests in the archdiocese were "known to have credible allegations of the abuse of minors." The John Jay group had been commissioned by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops to study clergy sexual abuse in the United States.
Attorneys for victims of clergy sexual abuse have argued for years that the public is at risk as long as the names of abusers remain secret. Archdiocesan officials have refused to name the priests in the past, but changed their position in response to an MPR News investigation that found church officials protected a priest who admitted to sexually abusing boys on an American Indian reservation in the 1970s.
It's unclear how law enforcement agencies will respond to the release of the list, if at all.
In St. Paul, where police are looking into allegations against the Rev. Jonathan Shelley and the Twin Cities archdiocese, police spokesman Howie Padilla said the list does not change the investigation.
"The list of names does not provide us with victims and their stories for us to investigate. So we are on the same path as we have always been," Padilla said today in an email to MPR News. "If there are victims of abuse in St. Paul who have not reported it to law enforcement, we would like to hear their stories so that we could begin investigations."
Authorities are hopeful that the archdiocese's release of names will encourage more victims to report any recollections of abuse. As of a few weeks ago, police said they heard from several people in response to Cmdr. Mary Nash's plea in October for victims to come forward.
Maplewood Police Chief Paul Schnell said he’s interested in the names — first, to establish whether any of the alleged accusers present a threat to the community. But Schnell said it’s also important for law enforcement to respond to the needs of victims.
One big deterrent for victims who were abused by people in positions of authority is the sense that no one would believe them, Schnell said.
On Monday, Judge Van de North ordered the archdiocese to release all 33 names by Dec. 17. He also ordered the Diocese of Winona to release a similar list of 13 priests. Both dioceses have until Jan. 6 to release the names of priests accused since the lists were created.
