 Describe the research and data available in SIPRI’s Arms Transfers Database.

An important aim of SIPRI's research is to contribute to greater transparency as a means of ensuring responsible international arms transfers, thereby helping to prevent violent conflict, alleviate tensions, warn about potentially destabilizing arms accumulations and counter the misallocation of limited resources. We investigate international arms transfers in relation to international security and national foreign and defence policies; inter-state relations; states’ compliance with international commitments such as arms embargoes or the Arms Trade Treaty and national legislation on international arms transfers; and we assess arms procurement against declared defence and security policies.
The SIPRI Arms Transfers Database is a core element of this work. Freely accessible online, it aims to provide valid, reliable and consistent data about the volume and types of major weapons transferred internationally since 1950 and provides tools to identify trends and patterns in international arms transfers at the global, regional and national levels, and relationships between arms importers and exporters.

 Describe the views and rhetoric of Brazilian Senator Kátia Abreu when discussing Native Brazilians.

AR: Kátia Abreu, Brazil's "Chainsaw Lady," Denounces "Farm-invading Natives"
Kátia Abreu, Brazil's "Chainsaw Lady," Denounces "Farm-invading Natives"
In heated speeches on the floor of the Brazilian Senate, Brazil's globally-infamous anti-environmentalist, Kátia Abreu, has denounced "land-stealing Native Brazilians," and decried the "injustice" befalling thousands of "non-Native Brazilians."
Senator Abreu -- who has in the past been accused of nepotism for helping her then-27-year-old son win a seat in the Chamber of Deputies in a manner that was described as a "bath of cold water" for the young Deputy Abreu -- today made the Guardian for her wanton disregard for Amazon deforestation. The Guardian describes her as a person who is "rapidly becoming the country's most interesting, important -- and dangerous -- politician." A deeper look into her speeches on the floor of the Brazilian Senate prove just how true The Guardian's words ring.
Senator Abreu accuses Funai -- the government agency responsible for protecting the rights of Native Brazilians -- of orchestrating a villainous campaign which has created "judicial insecurity" among medium and small farm owners.
One figure which both Questão Indígena -- a Brazilian blog which tracks Native "criminals and fakes" -- and Senator Abreu have criticized is: Cacique (chief) Babau.
Back in March, Senator Abreu accused Chief Babau of being a "phony" and a "gossip." Questão Indígena accuses Cacique Babau of being a militia leader of African descent who merely pretends to be Native Brazilian.
Cacique Babau is essentially the incarnation of Senator Abreu's existential fears; a dangerous enemy of questionable ethnicity who is hardheadedly standing in the way of progress and social greatness. Kátia's words are music to nationalist ears, and she has many convinced that her mission is righteous.

 What is the history of the crown prince in pre-Islamic Iran?

The position of a crown prince in pre-Islamic Iran was affirmed in the Median and early Achaemenid eras, when sovereignty was becoming standardized, due to the influence of Mesopotamian, Urartian, and Elamite practices.
It was during this period that the Avestan word "vīsō puθra" ("son of the clan") was adopted to denote “crown prince.” The word became "visa-puthra" in Old Persian.

 Explain the confusion caused by Nikki Haley's announcement of sanctions against Russia and the subsequent White House intervention.

U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley announced a new round of sanctions against Russia on Sunday. She was wrong.
On Sunday, Nikki Haley, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, announced that the Treasury Department would be rolling out tough new sanctions against Russia on Monday as punishment for its continued support of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.
But not 24 hours later, the White House threw Haley under the bus with a clear, contradictory message: Not so fast.
“We are considering additional sanctions on Russia and a decision will be made in the near future,” White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said.
Sources familiar with the sanctions rollout process described a chaotic back-and-forth as lawmakers and staffers were struggling to figure out what Haley was exactly referring to. It was unlikely that Haley, who has been lauded by lawmakers from both parties for her tough anti-Kremlin positions, would have misspoken so egregiously if a sanctions regime was not already in the works.
By Monday morning, the congressional committees that were responsible for drafting a sweeping sanctions bill last summer had not heard from the Treasury Department, indicating that Haley had apparently spoken too soon. But later Monday, The Washington Post reported that President Donald Trump personally intervened after Haley’s statement and halted the sanctions plan in its tracks, undercutting his U.N. ambassador in remarkable fashion.
Capitol Hill sources directly involved in the rollout of congressional mandated sanctions indicated that they had not received a heads up from the administration about impending financial punishments against Russia beyond the coordinated airstrikes that the U.S., along with its French and British partners, conducted on Friday and Saturday. The absence of such a notification from the administration led Capitol Hill staffers to speculate that the White House was scrambling to clean up Haley’s statements.
Haley, who has built up a reputation as a Russia hawk during her time as U.N. ambassador, said on CBS’ Face the Nation on Sunday that Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin “will be announcing those [sanctions] on Monday, if he hasn't already.” The Treasury Department did not respond to The Daily Beast’s request for comment on the matter, but on Monday it became clear that Mnuchin had neither announced those actions nor were they even finalized.
Haley said the imminent sanctions would target some Russian companies and entities that do business with the Assad regime, whom the U.S. and its allies have blamed for a chemical-weapons attack on innocent civilians in the war-torn country this month. The financial punishments would specifically target Russian companies whom the U.S. deems provided material support to the Assad regime’s alleged chemical weapons attack and previous assaults on innocents.
But without Trump’s signoff, those measures remain on ice. The president has recently approved some of the tougher anti-Moscow policies of his presidency, including calling out Russian President Vladimir Putin more directly for the Kremlin’s support of Assad. But internal disagreements over how strongly to punish Moscow continue to feed criticisms of Trump and his administration over what critics contend is their deferential posture toward Russia and Putin.

 Describe HighRewardCoin's ICO and HRC token crowdsale.

HighRewardCoin.io, an Ethereum blockchain-based monetary system that has created a neural network capable of learning from the knowledge and experience of professional traders and that promises its investors a maximum profit program, has recently announced the launch of its ICO.
The project aims to offer its users an opportunity to gain maximum reward by making use of trading bots that are continuously improving due to both machine learning tools and blockchain technologies.
Because humans are subject to emotions, moods and other external factors, they are prone to making numerous tiny errors while trading on global exchanges. HighRewardCoin’s bots are continuously improved to avoid these tiny errors that are typical for humans.
HighRewardCoin is now holding an ICO and its HRC token crowdsale in order to further develop the neural network and to allow HighRewardCoin’s bots to expand the spectrum of traded instruments and work with a wider scope of exchanges and financial products.
The ICO launched on January 20, 2018, and will be held until February 20, 2018, and offers special discounts for early investors. Moreover, Highrewardcoin.io promises that the interests of investors are fully protected and the project’s operation is regulated by a smart contract which anyone can check.
The HRC token is specially designed for purchasing investment products on the HighRewardCoin platform. The platform will accept HRC tokens exclusively and according to the experts at HighRewardCoin it may rise by 10x-14x during the first 3-4 months after the appearance of HRC on exchanges following the ICO.
After the ICO, Highrewardcoin.io plans to launch 2 credit programs where their tokens will be used. Furthermore, the HRC wallet is currently under development and will be presented shortly so that investors will able to store their tokens in the wallet based on HighRewardCoin’s proprietary platform.

 "How do I make a classic absinthe drinking experience?"

What you see here is everything you need to enjoy absinthe in the traditional manner: fine absinthe, a glass, an absinthe spoon, sugar, and a carafe full of ice-cold water.
Note: Under no circumstances should fire have any part in absinthe preparation. This is a pointless innovation created in the late 1990's and promoted by the purveyors of imitation absinthe to make their products seem more interesting and to reinforce the illicit drug image.
Likewise, absinthe being in the 106 - 148 proof range, it is not intended to be drunk neat or in shots, but should be tempered with water, making it about the strength of a glass of wine. Absinthe was drunk as a light aperitif.
The spoon is perhaps the most unique bit of absinthe paraphernalia. It consists of a flat, perforated trowel-like tool with a small indented area in the handle to hold it in place on the edge of the glass. The perforations allow the water and melting sugar to pass into the glass of absinthe below.
During the late 1800s, hundreds of different styles were made, some of which are seen here.
There are several nice reproductions available today at reasonable prices. If you do not have a proper absinthe spoon yet, a common fork will do.
As with coffee or tea, whether to use sugar is entirely a matter of individual taste. Sugar cubes are not as commonly used in the US today, but are fortunately still available in most places. Some sugar cubes are rather small and you may choose to use two. Or, if you prefer, you may choose not to use it at all.
Gourmet sugar cubes are available in both refined and raw varieties, as shown, but tend to take longer to dissolve.
The earliest absinthe glasses were ordinary water glasses of the type in which water, wine, lemonade or iced tea were served in bistros. Later, glasses were made with reservoirs or markings which helped the servers pour the correct amount of absinthe.
A wine glass will suffice, beautifully. Most kitchen supply stores stock glasses which are appropriate.
Start by pouring one ounce of absinthe into the glass.
Place the spoon across the rim of the glass, with the notch of the spoon resting on the rim and place a sugar cube upon the spoon.
If you are using a carafe, begin by pouring a small amount of water onto the sugar, saturating it. Allow it to sit for a minute or two so that the sugar begins to loosen and dissolve on its own. Then begin slowly drizzling a very slender stream of water onto the sugar cube. You may want to practice for a while in an empty glass to develop a pouring technique that suits your carafe or pitcher.
The customary ratio suggested by historical absinthe labels was five ounces of water to one ounce of absinthe, making a six-ounce drink at around twelve to fourteen percent alcohol by volume, similar to a glass of light wine.
Since absinthe comes in a variety of proofs, some will require more water than others; you can use the calculator below to assist in pouring drinks of approximately the same strength.
With experience, you will determine the best absinthe-to-water ratio for your taste.
add ounce(s) of ice-cold water.
Also, there are fountains made especially for absinthe which can be used to drip the water slowly.
As you add water, watch closely as it mixes with the absinthe. When the water-to-absinthe ratio reaches a certain level, the essential oils which are dissolved in the absinthe during distillation will emulsify with the water and create the marvelous, opalescent, cloudy effect known as the "louche."
A proper louche is among the characteristics used to evaluate a premium absinthe. It should be neither too thick nor too thin, indicating either too much or not enough anise. Absinthe is above all, an anise drink, but it should not be overpowering and candy-like. Some imitation absinthes—containing no anise—use gums and resins to obtain a louche. This was a hallmark of an improperly made absinthe in the 19th century.
A good louche should be opalescent and translucent in good light, neither transparent nor opaque. It is best observed in full sunlight, and is appreciated even more with the second glass!
As the glass slowly fills and the louche develops, the bouquet of the absinthe is more fully released and you may detect fragrance notes which were only barely perceptible in the undiluted absinthe.
Continue slowly pouring until the sugar cube is completely dissolved.
Stir any remaining, undissolved sugar in the bottom of the glass.
You may want to leave room for a couple ice cubes. If you choose to use ice, you should take that into account when deciding how strong to pour your drink as the melting ice will dilute the drink further.
Now, sit back and sip your absinthe slowly.
While anise and fennel are usually the predominant flavor and aroma in absinthe, and some of the finest absinthes use only six herbs, there can be a number of other herbs used, many of which are easily discernable while others are more subtle and elusive.
Roll the absinthe around in your mouth and pay close attention to the flavors and sensations on various part of your mouth and tongue.
Enjoy! The Green Hour is at hand!
Shake with ice. Strain into cocktail glass. Add 1 pearl onion.

 Explain how the Miami Heat managed to sign James Johnson, Dion Waiters and Kelly Olynyk to long-term contracts while fitting Wayne Ellington’s salary for the 2017-18 season under the salary cap threshold.

September 13, 2017 2017 offseason, Andy Elisburg, Anthony Chiang, Dion Waiters, James Johnson, Kelly Olynyk, NBA news, Salary cap.
MIAMI — It wasn’t easy, but the Heat found a way to sign James Johnson, Dion Waiters and Kelly Olynyk to long-term contracts while also fitting Wayne Ellington’s $6.3 million salary for next season under the 2017-18 salary cap threshold of $99,093,000.
How did Miami manage to pull it off? Heat general manager Andy Elisburg came up with a strategy to manipulate the NBA’s salary cap to maximize the team’s free-agent possibilities this summer.
Elisburg and the Heat were able to shave just enough money off the cap hits of Waiters and Olynyk by including bonuses in their contracts that don’t count against the team’s salary cap for this upcoming season.
In a story that listed bonuses for NBA players for this upcoming season, ESPN reported that Waiters will receive a $1.1 million bonus if he plays in more than 70 of the Heat’s 82 games this season. If the 25-year-old guard meets this criteria, it would raise his 2017-18 salary from $11 million to $12.1 million.
Because Waiters played in just 46 games last season due to ankle and groin injuries, this new incentive is considered an “unlikely” bonus that does not count toward the team’s salary cap. He played in 78 and 80 games in the previous two seasons before joining the Heat last summer.
Meanwhile, Olynyk has an “unlikely bonus” of $1 million in his Heat contract if he plays more than 1,700 minutes this season, according to ESPN. This would lift Olynyk’s 2017-18 salary from $10.6 million to $11.6 million.
The bonus is considered unlikely, which does not count toward Miami’s salary cap, because Olynyk’s career-high for minutes played came last season at 1,538. With Olynyk expected to play a bigger role with the Heat as a key piece of their frontcourt, it seems like 1,700 minutes is a realistic mark for the 26-year-old big man to reach.
Olynyk’s contract also includes a bonus for the playoffs, according to ESPN. He made it to the Eastern Conference Finals with the Boston Celtics last season before losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers just one round short of the NBA Finals.
For Johnson, his bonus is tied to body-fat measurements or weigh-ins, according to ESPN. Johnson, who signed a four-year, $60 million deal to stay with Miami this summer, became one of the Heat’s many weight-loss success stories last season when he transformed his body to go from 275 pounds with 14.5 percent body fat to 238 pounds and 6.75 percent body fat.
With the Heat now capped out, they will have to fill out the rest of their roster with the $4.3 million room exception and minimum contracts. Miami currently has 18 players under contract, which is two short of the NBA’s offseason maximum.
Teams must get their rosters down to a maximum of 15 players by the start of the regular season. The Heat begin training camp on Sept. 26, with the regular-season opener set for Oct. 18 against the Magic in Orlando.

 Respond in 40 sentences. What can you tell me about Rochester Knighthawks?

The Rochester Knighthawks will celebrate their 25th anniversary season in 2018-19.
Then it’s back to square one. Technically at least.
About four hours after Knighthawks owner Curt Styres announced he would be moving the team to Halifax, Nova Scotia, for the 2019-20 season in a heartfelt letter to fans on Thursday, the National Lacrosse League announced it had awarded an expansion franchise for Rochester to sports moguls Terry and Kim Pegula.
The Pegulas already own the NLL's Buffalo Bandits, the Knighthawks' fiercest rival, along with the NFL’s Buffalo Bills, NHL’s Sabres and AHL’s Rochester Americans.
The announcement came at an outdoor news conference on the Genesee River side of the Blue Cross Arena at the Rochester War Memorial where Mayor Lovely Warren announced $18 million in improvements to the aging facility where the new lacrosse team, like the current one, will remain a key tenant, also beginning in 2019-20.
Terry Pegula quickly said the team will keep the name, Knighthawks, to loud applause.
“They will have the Knighhawks legacy and we’re very proud to contribute again to western New York and the Rochester community in keeping the team here,’’ he said.
In 2011, the Pegulas stepped in to purchase the financially struggling Amerks and reinstalled that flagship team as the farm club of the Sabres, which they had purchased four months earlier from Rochester’s Tom Golisano.
The Pegulas, who operate Pegula Sports and Entertainment (PSE), also own a music label, marketing services and arena management branches.
PSE took over management of Blue Cross Arena on Aug. 1 and are negotiating a long-term contract.
The NLL, founded in 1986, is growing for the first time in a decade, adding franchises in Philadelphia and San Diego for this season. Those ownership groups paid an expansion fee of $5 million and it's believed the Pegulas will pay roughly the same.
That amount is in the neighborhood of what Styres paid for the Knighthawks in June 2008 when he purchased the financially struggling team from Steve Donner, immediately providing stability.
The NLL has a policy prohibiting multiple ownership of teams in the league and also from franchises being placed within a 73.1-mile distance arena-to-arena. The league’s board of governors waived those rules this time.
NLL chief operating officer Dave Rowan said franchises are studied on a case by case basis. In this instance, two current owners (the Pegulas and Styres) had a shared desire to keep a team in Rochester.
The Knighthawks are a storied franchise, winning 10 division titles and five league championships. They’ve also been a championship finalist five times, including last season. They reached the playoffs each of their first 13 seasons, and once won a record three consecutive titles (2012, 2013, 2014).
Their roll call of stars includes Gary and Paul Gait, John Grant Jr., Cody Jamieson, Casey Powell, Steve Dietrich, Pat O’Toole and Matt Vinc.
Styres will be allowed to take to Halifax any coach or player under contract, Rowan said. It has yet to be determined if he can keep all of the Knighthawks' records. The new K-Hawks will be stocked through an expansion draft. Team colors and uniform design could change.
In his letter, Styres praised the passion of his team’s fan base and that he was most proud that he achieved his goal of leaving the franchise in better shape than he found it and was happy to leave it in very good hands.
“For all the fans of the Rochester community, it was very important for my family and I to make sure that your Rochester franchise would be well looked after,’’ Styres wrote.
The development was a year in the making and the result of personal connections.
Bills head coach Sean McDermott was an intern for Rowan when Rowan was an executive with the Philadelphia Eagles in the late 1990s. When Rowan came to visit McDermott at Bills training camp in summer 2017, he met with PSE executive Bruce Popko, another past NFL colleague.
It was then they discussed a perfect scenario that would satisfy Styres' desire to have a team in his native Canada and the Pegula’s desire to operate a second NLL franchise in a building they hoped to be managing.
“It just made sense from everybody’s part and conversations continued for the last year,’’ Rowan said.
Saving the Amerks and now pro lacrosse in Rochester is personally gratifying for Kim Pegula, an orphan who grew up in Fairport with her adopted family, who were big Amerks fans.
Starting an expansion franchise is a challenge she looks forward to, she said, that and those nights when the Knighthawks and Bandits play.
The Pegulas are contributing financially to upgrades at the arena, paying for a new a state-of-the-art video scoreboard for starters.
Plans to upgrade locker rooms, concession areas, lighting and other technology were critical to keeping the Amerks and Knighthawks in town and improving the fan experience that will help draw fans, Warren said.
“This is a game changer for Rochester,’’ she said of partnering with the Pegulas.
Sen. Rich Funke, a former Rochester sportscaster, called it a good day for Rochester lacrosse and area sports in general.
Includes reporting by staff writers Brian Sharp and Steve Bradley.

 Please provide a biography of Jim Hagedorn.

Jim Hagedorn was born in Blue Earth, Minnesota, in 1962, to parents Thomas, a grain and livestock farmer, and Kathleen, a homemaker. Jim’s grandparents, Fred and Viola Mittelstadt and Pete and Elaine Hagedorn, were all lifelong Blue Earth residents.
In 1963 the family moved from Blue Earth to their 160 acre grain and hog farm located just outside the small town of Truman.
Jim’s formative years were spent on the Truman farm. His father and grandfather were full-time farmers and, as partners, regularly worked 1,000 acres or more. Jim helped work the land, walk the bean fields, feed the hogs, maintain the property, and developed a firsthand understanding of farming and the business side of agriculture.
Growing up on the farm was also fun, as Jim and younger sisters, Heidi and Tricia, would ride horses and play games. Living on a farm and being part of a rural community ingrained, in Jim, small town values and an appreciation for country living.
In 1974, Jim’s father was elected to Congress to represent southern Minnesota’s 2nd Congressional District. Shortly thereafter the family began splitting time between Washington, D.C. and Minnesota – spending the school year in the Virginia suburbs of DC and returning each summer to the Truman farm.
While attending Langley, a public high school, Jim was a member of the varsity tennis team and excelled in political debate. During high school, Jim saved for college and his first automobile (a 1969 Mustang convertible that he still owns) by delivering newspapers, mowing lawns, and teaching tennis as an assistant professional.
Throughout Thomas Hagedorn’s congressional career, Jim learned about national politics firsthand and interacted with notable politicians and famous leaders, including Jack Kemp, Henry Hyde and Ronald Reagan, who, along with his father, are Jim’s political heroes. Jim met candidate Reagan in 1979 at a Hagedorn Mankato fundraiser and then again in 1981 when President Reagan invited Jim and his father to the Oval Office to discuss a letter-to-the editor that Jim had written in defense of Reagan economic policies.
Beginning at age 18, Jim worked full-time jobs as a busboy and telephone salesman to self-finance his education. Jim was accepted to George Mason University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Government and Politics.
In 1984, Jim was hired as the legislative assistant to former Minnesota Republican Congressman Arlan Stangeland. Jim handled an array of issues and successfully managed the Congressman’s legislative agenda, including stewardship of H.R. 916, a 1987-88 bipartisan “workfare” bill that required able-bodied welfare recipients to work for benefits. This bill was conceptually enacted into law shortly after Republicans won control of the House of Representatives in 1994.
From 1991 to 1998, Jim served as the Director for Legislative and Public Affairs for the Financial Management Service, the U.S. Department of the Treasury agency responsible for the management of more than $2 trillion in Federal funds.
Next, Jim accepted a position as Congressional Affairs Officer for the Bureau of Engraving and Printing, the Department of the Treasury agency that manufactures U.S. paper currency. Again, Jim successfully combined his legislative expertise and executive Treasury position to work with the Congress to enact legislation designed to drive down costs.
In 2005 Jim thwarted a Bush administration policy to merge the nation’s coin and currency agencies, an idea that would have cost taxpayers $500 million for no added value, and transferred power from career civil servants to partisan political appointees. At great risk to his career, Jim crafted an appropriations provision and worked with the Congress and interested parties, including unions, to prohibit the use of federal funds to merge the Bureau of Engraving and Printing into the United States Mint. This spending prohibition remains in force today and for this accomplishment Jim enjoys support from both management and organized labor.
In 2014, Jim won a hotly contested Republican primary election, and then went on to receive 45.7 percent of the vote against incumbent Democrat congressman Tim Walz in the November general election. Jim won six counties and amassed the highest percentage vote against Walz since his election to congress in 2006.
Jim announced his candidacy for the 2016 election on May 12, 2015. Jim received the endorsement of Minnesota’s First District Republican Party on May 7, 2016, and handily won the August 9th Republican primary election, 76.5% - 23.5%.
Jim came up just short of defeating incumbent Democrat Tim Walz and pulling off the biggest congressional upset of the November 8, 2016, general election. Hagedorn won the overwhelming majority of southern Minnesota’s precincts and carried 13 of the First District’s 21 counties, six by 60% or more of the vote. The 50.3% - 49.6% result (Walz 169,071 – Hagedorn 166,524) was the 12th closest congressional election in Minnesota’s history.
In a December 2016 speech to the Minnesota Republican Party’s State Central Committee Hagedorn announced his commitment to running for a third consecutive election cycle. Hagedorn’s back-to-back-to-back campaigns follow successful similar efforts undertaken by former Minnesota Congressman John Kline, current Minnesota Congressman Collin Peterson and former Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Newt Gingrich.
Jim resides in Blue Earth.

 Describe the criminal case involving Sarai Rodriguez-Miranda.

Documents say the suspect sent a text saying, "I’m gonna crush up some of these pills since she decided they can stay longer and kill their baby."
An Indiana teen who was caught crafting a scheme to kill her 11-week-old niece by poisoning her breast milk has pleaded guilty to the crime.
On Monday, 19-year-old Sarai Rodriguez-Miranda, of Fort Wayne, entered her plea in Allen County. She will be sentenced on one count of attempted murder on May 18.
The Journal Gazette reports that she could be sentenced to up to 25 years behind bars for the crime. Attempted murder carries a sentencing range of 20 to 40 years.
Court documents say Rodriguez-Miranda began planning after her brother, his fiancee and their 11-week-old daughter moved in with Rodriguez-Miranda and her mother in January 2017.
The couple and the baby girl were only going to stay with Rodriguez-Miranda and her mother temporarily, court documents said. But Rodriguez-Miranda became upset when they stayed longer than she wanted.
On Jan. 12, Rodriguez-Miranda's mother found a series of text messages between Rodriguez-Miranda and her boyfriend, court documents said. The suspect talked about poisoning the child's breast milk that was stored in the refrigerator to get back at her brother and his fiancee for moving in.
"I’m gonna crush up some of these pills since she decided they can stay longer and kill their baby," Rodriguez-Miranda says in one of the texts, according to court documents. In another she writes, "Idk they were laying on the counter in front of everyone so I couldn’t check what they were. And I’m honestly not worried about getting caught. Theyre not gunna suspect me."
Rodriguez-Miranda asks her boyfriend to look up how many milligrams are needed to kill a baby, and she expressed excitement when the bottles were removed from the fridge.
"Yeah I thought it was funny that I dont have an ounce of guilt," she texts. When the child is unharmed, she texts, "Why didn’t that baby die dude thats dumb. They definitely threw it out."
One of the messages also contained a picture of a mortar and pestle containing a white powder.
After reading the messages between her daughter and her daughter’s boyfriend, the mother went to the refrigerator and found two baby bottles. One bottle had residue at the bottom, and the breast milk was a darker color than the breast milk in the other bottle.
Rodriguez-Miranda's mother also found the mortar and pestle and turned it over to investigators.
Lab tests revealed that the bottle contained a combination of Acetaminophen, caffeine and aspirin, court documents said.
The substances in the bottle were found to be the equivalent of nine Excedrin pills and could have killed the child. The child was not harmed in any way.

 Is there really a wage gap between black and white workers?

Most studies and articles purporting a ‘wage gap’ between blacks and whites do not control for IQ, skills, hours worked, prior job experience, educational attainment, and employment status.
Young white workers work significantly more hours than young blacks with similar skills. The main exception is that young black college graduates work almost as many hours as equally-skilled white college graduates. As a result, they earn almost as much per year. Finally, we show that the disparity in hours worked has a cumulative effect. At all skill levels, the black-white wage gap stems partly from black-white differences in past work experience.
Controlling for AFQT completely changes these residual wage gaps (see columns (2) and (4)). For men, the wage gap narrows by roughly two thirds, to about 9 percent. For women, the gap is actually reversed. Black women earn five percent more per hour than white women with the same AFQT score.
A criticism of the racial wage gap has been noted by a few scholars: the racial wage gap fails to account for the amount of people in a certain race that are unemployed. Examining median incomes does not reflect the growing racial disparity in joblessness. The Butler-Heckman hypothesis states that the least-skilled members of society are also the ones who are most likely to be not working, suggesting that the wage gap does not account for the overall difference in wages between races. An analysis of the black-white wage gap which accounted for unemployment found that when unemployment was included in the calculation of the weekly wages convergence from 1950 to 2000, the convergence percentage went from 13 percent to only 3 percent.
So when you control for all these factors, the disparity deceases dramatically.
So these ‘racist’ employers are favoring Asians, or perhaps a more plausible explanation is educational attainment and skills.

The pair has leased 10,000 square feet at 2601 Maury St., Building 29, for what Czarda said will be one of the largest escape rooms on the East Coast. Warehouse 29 will host one large, 90-minute to two-hour experience with multiple rooms within it.
He said each game will begin with players meeting at a local bar or restaurant, where a driver will pick them up, in character, and bring them to the site.
Warehouse 29 will be thematically based around one of the most famous literary figures to have ties to Richmond.
“We’re basing most of it on Edgar Allan Poe – each room will be based on different Poe story,” Czarda said.
Construction is underway, and Czarda said it will cost between $100,000 and $150,000 to launch. He hopes to open the facility in early 2018.
Williams’ and Czarda’s first escape rooms are in shopping centers off of West Broad Street and Three Chopt Road, respectively, and Czarda said they were drawn into the city by ongoing development activity in Manchester.
The escape room craze struck Richmond in 2015 and hasn’t slowed much since.
Warehouse 29 will mark at least the sixth escape room to open in the region in the last few years, joining Breakout Games, Real Escape Room Richmond and Escape Room USA, as well as Czarda’s and Williams’ Escape Room RVA and River City Escape Room.

Can’t wait to experience this!
We definitely want to participate. It sounds awesome!
Josh is a great guy. I remember the first rooms in 2015. He has truly mastered his craft and is one of the most creative minds I have met.

 What are the details of the Scottish Government's new contract to upgrade the railway between Aberdeen and Inverness?

A significant new contract for work to improve the railway between Aberdeen and Inverness has been announced by the Scottish Government agency Transport Scotland.
The appointment of BAM as principal contractor for the £170m upgrade of the line was announced on 16 October 2015, more than 20 years after hopes for a route upgrade were originally aired.
The announcement came as members of the Scottish National Party (SNP) gathered at Aberdeen for their annual conference, so the timing was hardly a coincidence. The SNP Scottish Government says it is funding the enhancement to transform journeys on the route.
A half-hourly “commuter” service is planned between Aberdeen and Inverurie and additional peak services are to run between Inverness and Elgin. There will be reduced journey times between Aberdeen and Inverness among improvements.
At present, trains are mostly end to end at irregular intervals. There are some other services at each end of the route.
Although spared the “Beeching axe” of the 1960s, the notorious report of 1963 recommended closure of the now very busy intermediate station at Inverurie. Much double track was reduced to single in the early 1970s with passing loops often at awkward places that caused delays. Significant sections of that negative work will be reversed.
BAM is already well-versed in reversing 20th century negativity, having just completed the on-time, on-budget £294m Borders Railway. BAM will now oversee the delivery of the Aberdeen-Inverness enhancement, the first phase of which is due for completion in 2019. A further phase is to be developed.
Infrastructure will be altered to allow space for new stations to be built at Dalcross, near Inverness, and Kintore, at the Aberdeen end of the 108-mile route. Plans for the new stations are being developed separately by two regional transport partnerships, HITRANS, the Highlands and Islands Transport partnership at Dalcross, and NESTRANS, the North East Scotland Transport partnership at Kintore.
Keith Brown MSP, Scotland’s Cabinet Secretary for Infrastructure, Investment and Cities, said: “Today marks the Scottish Government’s landmark investment package of £170m to improve a key route connecting both northern cities, which will make journeys shorter, more frequent and more comfortable for those who use this important line regularly.
Mr Verster added that this is what the ScotRail Alliance of Network Rail and franchisee Abellio is all about, giving communities across Scotland the opportunity to prosper.

 Describe the recent court ruling against Google.

LISBON (Reuters) - Portuguese app store Aptoide said on Monday that a local court had ruled against Alphabet Inc’s Google (GOOGL.O) in a landmark case, ordering the U.S. giant to stop removing its app from users’ mobile phones without their knowledge.
“We believe this may apply to other situations where Google has competition,” Nestal said. Aptoide said in a statement that the court decision is applicable in 82 countries, including the UK and India.
Google did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
The European Commission hit Google with a record 4.34 billion euro ($5 billion) fine in July for using its popular Android mobile operating system to block rivals.
To comply with an EU order to stop such anti-competitive practices, Google last week revamped how it distributes its mobile apps in the European Union, introducing a licensing fee for device makers to access its app marketplace.
The Portuguese app store made its first complaint to the EU Directorate-General for Competition in 2014, being one of the original complainants in the Android case, the company said.
Aptoide has more than 250 million users and six billion downloads.

 Who inspires you musically?

First linking up to help out on each others’ solo albums in 2011, Killer Mike and El-P have since become one of the biggest success stories in hip-hop. Both guys have storied histories-- Mike as a member of Atlanta’s Dungeon Family and El as the mastermind behind revolutionary indie label Def Jux-- but working together as Run The Jewels, they’ve reached a wider audience than ever before.
The duo are now three albums into what was originally conceived as a low-stakes, one-off project, but has blossomed into a wildly popular partnership between two newfound best friends. December’s stunning Run The Jewels 3 is their latest offering, and finds them tackling proggier, more ambitious soundscapes.
Ahead of a marathon tour of festivals this summer, RTJ were kind enough to share a playlist with us.
Check that out below, as well as a short bonus interview with El-P.
Killer Mike. My dream collaboration is Prince or David Bowie, sadly.
What advice do you have for your fans who are struggling with this political mess right now?
Don’t let these fuckers convince you that you aren’t free.
How did the whole Marvel collaboration come to happen? You guys have 6 covers right? Are you guys huge comic book fans?
Yes, we both grew up as huge fans of comics. The editor at Marvel was watching his son’s football game and his son scored a touchdown. When he did, all his team broke out into a “run the jewels fast” chant and started throwing up the RTJ hand sign. It made him look into us, and he loved us and made the covers happen.
As far as we know, you guys are label-less at the moment? Are there plans for that to change? How do you guys make it work giving all your albums away for free?
Yeah, we don’t see the need for a traditional label right now. We’ve all been there and done that, and came to the conclusion that there are cooler ways to operate. Giving the music away for free was a way to let our fans know that we are committed to them and that we trusted that if they liked the music they would support us. We still offer the music for sale and it’s sold very well, but we wanted people to hear the music more than we needed them to buy it. Between sales, shows, merch, etc., we make a good living, so I don’t see that model changing any time soon unless someone wants to make us filthy rich with one check, haha.

 What are the health benefits of antioxidants?

You have undoubtedly heard that a diet rich in antioxidants can help prevent cancer. But what does that really mean? What foods have antioxidants? Is there such a thing as an antioxidant supplement? And what if you already have cancer? Are antioxidants a cure?
To answer these questions, we must first understand how antioxidants work in the body. Every cell in the human body runs on oxygen. However, as important as oxygen is, it also causes damage to the very cells that rely on it to live. This damage is called oxidation. You have seen the effects of oxidation when an apple that has been cut turns brown when exposed to air. However, if you put lemon juice on the apple it stays white. The lemon juice acts as an antioxidant, preventing the damage to the flesh. The process is similar in your body. Oxygen damages cells, which over time can lead to mutations such as cancer. The antioxidants in your diet work like lemon juice on the flesh of an apple, protecting cells from damage and actually reversing some damage that may have already occurred.
Thousands of antioxidants naturally occur in plant foods. The most well known are vitamin E, vitamin C, beta carotene, and selenium. While they all work to prevent oxidative damage, they each have their own method of getting the job done. They also work best as a team, each doing its part to provide well-rounded protection against cancer.
Studies show that antioxidant supplements do not provide the same cancer protection as the actual foods. In some cases, antioxidant supplements increase the risk of some types of cancers. No pill can provide the same balance of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes that are found in a single fruit or vegetable.
People who are living with cancer have a special interest in the ability of antioxidants to fight disease. While antioxidants can repair some existing oxidative damage, they have not been shown to cure cancer, and very high doses of antioxidants in supplement form may actually work against certain cancer treatments. If you are receiving chemotherapy or radiation therapy for cancer, it is recommended that you eat as many fruits and vegetables as you are able, and take a multivitamin that provides no more than 100% of the daily recommended value for vitamins and minerals, especially vitamins C and E, selenium, and beta carotene.
Studies have also shown that cancer survivors can reduce the risk of a secondary cancer or a cancer recurrence by following a plant based diet. Therefore, once cancer treatment has been completed, cancer survivors should strive to eat at least 9 servings of brightly colored fruits and vegetables daily, and may wish to continue supplementation with a multivitamin.
By incorporating antioxidant-rich foods into your diet everyday, you can take control of your health and dramatically reduce your risk of developing cancer and other age-related diseases. Start today by adding a serving of fruit to breakfast, or vegetable juice between meals. Your body will thank you with good health for a lifetime!
