"The world hath never been a safe and silent place, however its perils were familiar and well known.

An eternity of dread and affliction became a certainty for the high-born and peasant alike. The virtuous king of the land hath been executed and his son left to rot in a prison cell. Memories of his life as the Prince of the land have faded away like mist, and only half-remembered visions, clutched tightly to his breast, of the sun upon an open field, or the smile on a maiden's face armor his soul from complete madness. It seemed that all hope had been relinquished..."

 Explain Rupert Murdoch's involvement in the FCC's decision to reverse the UHF discount and how it could affect station consolidation.

During the early stages of last year's Republican presidential race, most right-leaning elites opposed Donald Trump's bid. As an immigrant and a billionaire, 21st Century Fox founder Rupert Murdoch was definitely among them, critiquing Trump multiple times on Twitter, including one remark in July of 2015 asking when the eventual GOP nominee would "stop embarrassing his friends, let alone the whole country?" Reportedly, Murdoch even directed his Fox News employees to go hard after Trump in the first Republican presidential debate.
After it became clear that Trump was better-positioned than his rivals to win the nomination, Murdoch reversed course and began backing the New York billionaire's nomination. Murdoch's flip-flop was notable since several major Republican donors, such as Charles and David Koch, declined to back Trump even after he had become the party's standard-bearer.
It's now become clear that Murdoch's early backing and subsequent refashioning of Fox News into a pro-Trump operation has begun to pay off for him.
Under the new president, the Federal Communications Commission, the agency charged with regulating television and radio broadcasting signals, has decided to change some government rules which limited television station ownership.
In September of last year, on a 3-2 partisan vote, the FCC ruled that it was going to eliminate the so-called "UHF discount" which had previously allowed stations broadcast on higher frequencies to count for half of a station against the number of channels a media company could own. On April 20, the Trump FCC reversed that earlier decision.
With the path cleared for further station consolidation, on Sunday, word leaked out that Murdoch's 21st Century Fox company is partnering up with the investment bank Blackstone to make a purchase bid for Tribune Media, a television behemoth that owns 42 local broadcasters and has stakes in several cable channels, including WGN and the Food Network.
The Fox-Blackstone effort is said to be a defensive maneuver against Sinclair Broadcasting — another right-leaning television company, with 173 stations — which has been rumored to be trying to acquire Tribune as well.
Tribune Media was formed in 2014 after its parent, the Tribune Company, split off its newspaper business into Tribune Publishing. Those publications would not be part of any acquisition of Tribune Media.

 Describe the situation with Julian Assange and Marine Le Pen.

National Front Party president Marine Le Pen has reiterated her insistence that France provide asylum to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
On Monday, Assange gave an exclusive interview for French digital channel i>Tele, where he talked about various subjects including mass surveillance, French anti-terrorism laws and President Francois Hollande's ostensible political weaknesses.
Commenting on the interview in her official blog, in a post titled ‘Merci Julian Assange’ [Thank you Julian Assange] on Wednesday, Le Pen noted that Assange had once again provided a very "lucid analysis on the reasons for our strategic weaknesses, particularly in connection with our submission to the European Union, and thus to the United States."
Noting that it was perfectly clear why Francois Hollande has refused to provide Assange with asylum, Le Pen wrote that nevertheless "I ask once again that France honors him by offering asylum."
Last July, the French government officially rejected an asylum request from the WikiLeaks founder.
Assange has been stuck in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London since 2012, unable to leave for fear of being arrested and extradited to Sweden, and ultimately to the United States, where he could face espionage charges for publishing secret US government documents through his website.

 Analyze the drawbacks of investor-state dispute settlement (ISDS) in national trade agreements. Respond in 21 sentences.

the majority of the tribunal indicated that interference with investors’ economic “expectations”, standing alone, would not violate the FET [fair and equitable treatment] obligation but was a factor to take into account in determining whether there had been a breach of that treaty provision. Applying that approach, the tribunal gave disproportionate legal significance to the allegedly “reasonable expectations” of the investors that had been generated by non-binding statements of certain Canadian officials and general promotional materials designed to help the region attract new mining investments. Those “reasonable expectations”, the tribunal determined, were later frustrated by federal and provincial environmental approvals processes, which ultimately resulted in decisions by federal and provincial officials to deny the investors their requested environmental permits. That the governments’ actions frustrated the investors’ “legitimate expectations” led the tribunal to conclude that Canada violated the NAFTA’s FET obligation.
My colleague Professor Don McRae served on the same panel, issuing a stinging dissent that warned the decision “will create a chill on the operation of environmental review panels” “import a damages remedy that is not available under Canadian law” and intrude “into the environmental public policy of the state.” Unfortunately, the TPP does not adequately address these concerns. Instead, it keeps many of the same problems in place and threatens to expand the risk by bringing ISDS rules to a wider scope of companies and countries. The CCSD report highlights many other weaknesses of the TPP ISDS provisions and in posts later this week, I’ll discuss how the Canadian experience beyond Bilcon demonstrates that policy sovereignty and billions of dollars may be at risk.
A less polite description is “to protect investors against inherently corrupt states”, which the investors seem to think include Canada, the US and the EU.
These clauses should never be seen in agreements between states like the US or the EU, and indeed, never for states where the rule of law is respected.
1. It seems obvious how ISDS claims would hinder governments from acting in the best interests of the nation and citizens. For example the $15 billion NAFTA ISDS claim over the cancellation of Keystone pipeline. I can think of 4 ISDS claims against Canada now which total over $1.6 billion.
2. If ISDS allows corporations to sue governments (ie taxpayers), does it allow governments to sue corporations?
3. Also, I’ve seen how people have been bamboozled with bogus claims about the benefits of these so-called trade deals. The TILMA between BC and Alberta (2006) was said at the time to result in 78,000 new jobs and $billions of GDP benefits, none of which have occurred as far as I can tell. Similar benefit claims have been made about CETA, etc.
Nor does it allow taxpayers to directly sue either a corporation (for the damages caused by it), or the government (for the reckless endangerment of public money resulting from these lop-sided deals).
PS, TILMA also has ISDS.

 Write a concise review of the manga "Oishinbo".

The Japanese take their food very seriously. Focusing on freshness and quality of ingredients, the key is to showcase the food itself. Anyone who as been to a good Japanese restaurant or sushi bar has seen the minimalist presentation that the chef uses, as well as experienced the flavor of the food without heavy sauces or elaborate preparations that are the hallmark of foods from other countries.
In Oishinbo A La Carte: Japanese Cuisine, the reader is treated to the finest that Japan has to offer. When simplicity is the key, every detail matters.
In Basic Knife Skills, an American named Jeff Larson has traveled to Japan to train as a chef. He's taken to a restaurant that mimics the Rodeo Drive aesthetic of California, and the chef there has an amazingly flamboyant presentation style. Unfortunately, the flavor leaves something to be desired. Will Jeff find a new place to train, and discover what went wrong at that first restaurant?
In The Right to Be a Chef, we meet the younger brother of a restaurateur called Ryozo. He had been apprenticed at one of the most prestigious gourmet clubs in Tokyo, but was ejected without any reason being given. Heartbroken, he's returned to his brother's restaurant to continue to train. Will he figure out what his fatal flaw is, and be able to return to the gourmet club?
The Ultimate Etiquette focuses on a part of a meal that many people overlook. While the taste of the food is important, the presentation of the food can be just as critical. Unlike in Western cuisine, the Japanese take great pains in choosing the best shape, color, and material of dishes in which to present their food. Even the chopsticks being used is a decision that a chef has to make.
The overarching plot of this is fairly thin. Yamaoka Shiro, a journalist working in Tokyo, is tasked with the mission of developing the Ultimate Menu as part of his newspaper's 100th anniversary celebration. As the son of one of Japan's most renown chefs, he seems the perfect choice for the task. What his bosses may not realize, however, is that he's badly estranged from his father, and this assignment causes their paths to cross much more often then either would like. Often accompanied by a female journalist, Shiro ends up in some of the best restaurants, and often has a lesson to teach either a dining partner or a chef.
When Viz published this title, rather than simply publishing the chapters in order, they pulled chapters with thematic and culinary similarities into volumes based on topics like 'Sake' and 'Ramen and Gyoza.' While this 'best-of' format may have been the only way to publish a series that has been in print for 30 years, it makes the continuity of the main characters very hard to follow. Rather, the reader should simply focus on the situation in from of him, and not worry about the rest of it. Nevertheless, Oishinbo is an in-depth look into the world of fine dining guaranteed to make the reader hungry.
Highs: As amazing as Shiro's skills are, it's fun to see him one-upped every so often.
Lows: Having the chapters presented out of order, with very little background into the lives of our protagonists, takes a bit of getting used to.
Verdict: One of the best ways to experience a culture is through its food, and Oishinbo is a welcome peek into Japan that most manga doesn't cover.

 "What's the deal with chopsticks at this steakhouse?"

"am I supposed to eat the whole steak w/chopsticks??"
The New York Times has been criticised by Twitter users for its use of chopsticks in a photo that represents an “Asian-inspired” steak house.
The Huffington Post reports that the newspaper was reporting on upcoming steak fusion restaurant Jade Sixty.
In the photo for the article, Chinese dishes such as beef and broccoli and steamed buns are placed next to a New York-style steak and beer.
Two pairs of chopsticks are seen – one pair angled towards the steak, and the other standing upright in the broccoli dish.
Placing chopsticks upright is considered bad luck in Asian culture as incense sticks are presented in a similar way at Asian funerals.
The New York Times has since replaced the article’s featured image after people took to Twitter to express their disapproval for the paper’s “cultural insensitivity”.
“Food stylist doesn’t understand “chopstick placement”… proper do’s and don’t’s. Photo is “bad luck.”” commented one user.
“So, who died? Or was your menu inspired by a part of Asia that uses wooden sticks as decor? #chopsticksetiquette #jadesixty,” said another.
No chopsticks in the beer? Totally inauthentic.
Maybe the steak attracts lots of flies, and the chopsticks are to catch the flies, a la Mr Miyagi?

 Hey, when does Marvel's Runaways Season 2 start?

The second season picks up where the first left off.
Hulu has announced that the second season of Marvel's Runaways will premiere December 21st, Deadline reports. And there won't be any weekly installments this time around as there were with the first season because all 13 episodes are getting dropped at once. Hulu renewed the series for a second season just as the first one wrapped up.
Season 2 will kick off right where the first ended -- with the kids having escaped their evil parents and setting out their own. Now they'll have to figure out how to live with each other, how to take care of themselves and how to take down their parents' nefarious Pride squad. But they might also have to sniff out a mole since someone's sending the Pride leader mysterious messages. Meanwhile, the Pride is bound and determined to get them back.

 "Have you heard about Charles Schumer's effort to pass immigration reform?"

Schumer's Marketing Lesson for "Comprehensive Reform"
A powerful Senate advocate of "comprehensive immigration reform" legislation Wednesday offered some marketing advice to those who want to help him get the bill passed: Call illegal immigration by its name.
"When we use phrases like 'undocumented workers,' we convey a message to the American people that their government is not serious about combating illegal immigration, which the American people overwhelmingly oppose," said Sen. Charles Schumer, chairman of the Judiciary immigration subcommittee. "If you don’t think it’s illegal you’re not going to say it. I think it is illegal and wrong and we have to change it."
Speaking at the Migration Policy Institute’s Sixth Annual Immigration Policy Conference at the Georgetown Law School in Washington. the New York Democrat said Congress will not be able to pass the legislation "until the American people are convinced that we will stop future flows of illegal immigration.
Schumer also provided an outline of what he called "seven principles" to form the framework of a bill that could receive broad congressional support. He made it clear his approach to changing illegal immigration consists largely in directing it to vastly expanded channels of legal immigration.

 Have you heard about Amazon's tax issues in Europe?

Amazon has been ordered to pay 250 million euros ($294 million) to Luxembourg after the European Commission found that the online retailer had received illegal tax benefits.
The Commission says Amazon received tax advantages between 2006 and 2014 in the country without any "valid justification."
Amazon was ordered to pay 250 million euros ($294 million) to Luxembourg on Wednesday after the European Commission said the online retailer had received illegal tax benefits.
According to regulators, Amazon received tax advantages between 2006 and 2014 in the country without any "valid justification."
"Luxembourg gave illegal tax benefits to Amazon. As a result, almost three quarters of Amazon's profits were not taxed," Margrethe Vestager, the EU's commissioner for competition, said in a statement.
"In other words, Amazon was allowed to pay four times less tax than other local companies subject to the same national tax rules. This is illegal under EU state aid rules. Member states cannot give selective tax benefits to multinational groups that are not available to others," she added.
From June 2014, Amazon changed the way it operates in Europe and the new structure is outside the EU Commission's authority on state aid.
In the period investigated, Amazon was shifting its profits from a company that was subject to tax in Luxembourg to another one that wasn't subject to tax, known as the "holding company." The latter had no employees, no offices and no business activities.
Luxembourg is due to receive the amount created by the aid, though there are no fines under EU law. Luxembourg authorities said they have taken notice of the decision and will "use appropriate due diligence to analyze the decision."
EU Commissioner for Competition Margrethe Vestager addresses a press conference on two state aid cases at the European Commission in Brussels on October 4, 2017.
"The decision of the Commission refers to a period going back to 2006. Over time, both the international and the Luxembourg legal frameworks have substantially evolved," they said.
Amazon said in response to the commission's decision that it believes it did not receive any special treatment from Luxembourg and that it paid tax in "full accordance with both Luxembourg and international tax law."
"We will study the Commission's ruling and consider our legal options, including an appeal. Our 50,000 employees across Europe remain heads-down focused on serving our customers and the hundreds of thousands of small businesses who work with us," the online retailing giant said in a statement.
The European Commission opened its investigation into Amazon and Luxembourg's tax arrangements in October 2014.
Luxembourg and U.S. technology companies have been at the center of the commission's probes into tax affairs and antitrust. Last year, the EU ordered Ireland to recover 13 billion euros in taxes from Apple. The commission is also looking into the tax deal between McDonald's and Luxembourg.
The EU has promised to scrutinize tax arrangements between large mulitnationals and the bloc's member states. This case is likely to increase tensions between Europe and the U.S. After the commission's decision on Apple, Chief Executive Tim Cook denounced it as "total political crap." The Amazon tax ruling is also set against a push by President Donald Trump to come up with a money repatriation plan for U.S. companies with big cash piles abroad.
At the heart of the EU's investigation into Amazon is its network of subsidiaries in Europe and so-called transfer pricing. That is the price of goods that one subsidiary of a company sells to another subsidiary under the same corporation. This in itself is not illegal. But what is illegal is if this transfer of goods is mispriced, therefore affecting the profits a company makes, and subsequently how much tax it pays.
In 2004, Amazon restructured its operations to create Amazon EU Sarl, which was its European operating headquarters. Amazon EU Sarl pays a royalty to the parent company in Europe for use of intellectual property. But that parent company is a limited liability partnership, which is not subject to corporate tax in Luxembourg.
The Amazon ruling could be embarrassing for Jean-Claude Juncker, president of the European Commission, who was Luxembourg's prime minister from 1995 to 2013.
At the opening of these investigations, many European policymakers asked for Juncker's resignation. However, he denied any involvement in the tax arrangements, saying that the prime minister doesn't have enough power to restrict the work of tax authorities.
Correction: This story has been revised to correct the amount in U.S. dollars that Amazon has been ordered to pay.

 Have you heard the latest news about Paul Manafort?

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Former Trump campaign manger Paul Manafort has been convicted on 8 of 18 counts by a federal jury in Virginia, and a mistrial was declared on the remaining 10 counts when the jury deadlocked.
The mixed verdict came after the jury spent nearly four days deliberating, where they faced hundreds of pages exhibits from the two weeks the government took to make its case.
Tuesday’s conviction was the first guilty verdict from a jury special counsel Robert Mueller has secured, amid several guilty he pleas he has secured, some from other top Trump aides. The charges Manafort was on trial for in Virginia were not related to Russia’s interference in the 2016 election, but rather for financial crimes mostly stemming from his consulting work in Ukraine predating his time on the Trump campaign.
The jury found Manafort guilty on 5 counts of filing false tax returns, covering the years 2010-2014, one count of failing to disclose foreign bank accounts, and two counts of bank fraud. The jurors were deadlocked on the remaining 10 counts.
One of the guilty bank fraud counts had to do with a $3.4 million loan Manafort received from Citizens Bank in 2016 and another for a $1 million loan Manafort was extended from Banc of California in 2016.
There was a mistrial on the conspiracy counts associated with those loans, and the three other bank fraud conspiracy counts that Mueller brought in the case. There was also a mistrial on the counts related to $16 million in Manafort loans from Federal Savings Bank, whose CEO had sought a position in the Trump administration while negotiating the loan, as well as to a bank fraud count related to another Citizens Bank loan application for which Manafort was denied.
Additionally the jury was deadlocked on three of the four charges of failure to file foreign bank reports.
Ellis gave the prosecutors a week to say what they intended to do on the mistrial counts. The defense asked for 30 days to decide if they would seek acquittal or a new trial on those counts, which Ellis said he was inclined to grant if the government had not objections. Manafort also faces money laundering and failure to disclose foreign lobbying charges in D.C. That case is scheduled for trial next month.
As the court clerk read the verdict aloud in the courtroom Tuesday evening, Manafort appeared expressionless. He stood facing the jury with his arms down in front of him and his hands clasped.
After the verdict was announced Ellis called Manafort to the podium and described the sentencing process, which will include a presentencing report and opportunity for Manafort to make his comments to the judge in a proceeding known as the allocution.
As he was escorted from the courtroom to his holding cell, he made eye contact with his wife Kathleen, who had been present every day of the trial. She continued to look at the door he exited after it shut behind him. The defense team appeared somber as they exited the courtroom.
Before excusing the jury, Ellis thanked them for their service, and asked them to confirm that they would like him to keep their identities under seal, as he indicated he planned to do, at least for some time, despite a request from media outlets that their names be released. They all said, yes, when he asked if they would like their identities to remain confidential.
He told them they were now free to discuss the case with whomever they’d like but that he’d prefer they not describe the deliberations to the media.
“That seems to me to do an injury to the deliberative process,” Ellis said. He said that if jurors know that what they said and did in deliberations would become “grist for the media mill” that they may not be able deliberate freely.
After the jurors and Manafort left the courtroom, Ellis complimented both sides’ attorneys for their “effective and zealous representation.” He also referenced the aggressive media attention the case — and specifically he himself — received.
“My grandson called and said, ‘Are you really…'” Ellis started before trailing off. He brought up a comment about he made previously in the trial about being the “Caesar” in his own “Rome,” and reiterated that it was a “very small Rome” and that he was “less supreme” than the original Caesar.
A little before 4:30 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Judge T.S. Ellis read a note from the jury informing the court that they were not able to reach consensus on 10 counts, but had reached a verdict on the other charges. Ellis proposed calling in the jury and asking each juror individually whether they believed they could reach a verdict on the 10 remaining counts with further deliberation. The attorneys on both sides agreed to that approach.
When Ellis called the jury in around 4:30 p.m. ET, they each said no, further deliberation would not yield additional verdicts. At that time, the court clerk read aloud the verdict.
Shortly before noon on Tuesday, the jury had sent a note to Ellis asking how they should fill out the verdict form if they could not come to a consensus on a count. At that time, Ellis told the jurors to continue deliberating and explained that if they failed to reach a verdict, the case will remain open.

 Describe the dismissal of public servants in the federal civil service in Canada, and the current procedures in place to do so.

Numbers shared with Global News suggest hundreds of public servants were fired in the most recent year for which statistics are available, despite a call from a senior official for the govenment to make it easier to do so.
According to numbers shared with Global News, a total of 92 public servants were fired for misconduct in 2015/2016 while 77 were fired for incompetence and another 141 were let go during their probationary employment periods.
Combined, that means 310 public servants were fired that year — about 0.1 per cent of the public service’s roughly 262,000 employees.
That total of 310 is also a five-year high for the federal civil service but it is not clear whether any executive-level staff are included in those numbers.
Just 197 federal civil servants were fired in total in 2011/2012.
That increased to 241, then 266, then 281 in the years 2012/2013, 2013/2014 and 2014/2015.
Treasury Board secretary Peter Wallace told members of the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee on June 14 that he felt the barriers to firing public servants over mistakes like the Phoenix scandal were too high, and that the government should look at making it easier to fire executives.
“We do need to look at the capacity of the Government of Canada for removals,” he said.
The numbers suggest that firings for misconduct and incompetence have remained relatively stable over recent years.
Firings stemming from a probationary employment period have gone up.
There were 108 probationary firings in 2011/2012, which dropped down to 88 in 2012/2013 and has continued to climb since.
Ninety-four were fired for that reason in 2013/2014, then 126 in 2014/2015 and 141 in 2015/2016.
In comparison, terminations for incompetence went from 42 to 70 to 80 to 61 to 77 in the same time periods.
Those for misconduct went from 47 to 83 in 2012/2013, then to 92, 94 and 92 between 2013/2014, 2014/2015, and 2015/2016.
Implementation of the Phoenix pay system for federal employees has resulted in pay problems for roughly half of the 262,000 federal civil servants over the past two years. While some were not paid at all, others were paid either too much or too little.
The system had initially been conceived as a way to cut costs in 2009 but as a result of the problems, the federal government is expected to spend more than $1 billion trying to stabilize the chaos and payroll problems.
He said the executives were more focused on meeting the project budget and timeline than they were on flagging problems.
No test was ever actually carried out on the system prior to its launch and no one has been fired for the botched rollout.
At committee testimony earlier this month, the deputy minister for Public Services and Procurement Canada confirmed that two of the three senior executives involved in Phoenix were still employed by the government.
The third has since retired.
A spokesperson for Treasury Board president Scott Brison said the government has the capacity to fire executives and others as needed.
“Already, employees at all levels of the government must adhere to the values and ethics code and all executives must demonstrate the specific competencies expected of them. A breach of these values or behaviours may result in disciplinary measures, up to and including termination of employment,” said Jean-Luc Ferland, press secretary to Brison.
Former Treasury Board president Tony Clement said all three of the executives involved in the Phoenix fiasco should have been fired.
“I think that was a clear case, not only of underperformance but major dereliction of duty,” he told Global News.
But Chris Aylward, national president of the Public Service Alliance of Canada – which represents 180,000 public servants across the country — says the fact that 310 were fired last year shows it is possible to fire underperformers.
“It’s very minuscule, there’s no question that it is a very small percentage of the 300,000 public servants,” he said.
Clement wouldn’t say if he will press the government to make it easier to fire bureaucrats, but he does agree the current system is not working and changes need to be made.

 Have you heard about the connection between Eric Holder, Sharon Malone Holder, and Georgia abortion clinics?

Thanks to pro-lifers Michelle Wolven and Catherine Davis, a small group of us have been on this story for weeks.
While they were digging through online records of Georgia abortion clinics, they stumbled on the fact that Attorney General Eric Holder’s wife Sharon Malone Holder (both pictured right) co-owns with her sister an Atlanta area abortion clinic building.
The building is located at 6210 Old National Highway, College Park, Georgia.
The story was so big, Catherine handed it off to Watchdog.org reporter Troy Anderson.
Anderson’s article, “Holder’s family papers over his ties to abortion doctor,” was published in Human Events today.
Anderson’s story deepens beyond the obvious breaking news that Sharon Holder, an OB/GYN herself, co-owns a building – and has for many years – that operates as an abortion clinic.
What’s more, the abortionist at Old National, Tyrone Cecile Malloy, was indicted last year by a Georgia grand jury on charges of Medicaid fraud.
The same tax records show the building was formerly owned by Dr. Mack A. Jones, late husband of another of Holder’s sister-in-laws, Vivian Malone Jones. Her death, announced in an Oct. 14, 2005 obituary in The Washington Post, reported that she was Malone Holder’s sister.
The other two sisters apparently inherited the building at that time.
Anderson further detailed how, after he alerted the Holders and sister co-owner Margie Malone Tuckson 0f the information he had, requesting comment, the family quickly moved to put the abortion clinic building into a blind trust.
Critics say it may also explain why Holder has been eager to prosecute pro-life advocates who counsel women outside abortion clinics….
“There is a clear conflict of interest when the man charged with pursuing those that abuse the system is also one who is engaged in some way with the business,” said Davis, whose organization brought the issue to the attention of Watchdog….
In recent months, judges have blocked Holder’s efforts to punish pro-life supporters counseling women outside abortion clinics. In one case, Holder’s Department of Justice agreed to pay Mary “Susan” Pine $120,000 for its filing of an “improper lawsuit” against her, according to a statement by Liberty Counsel, an Orlando, Fla.-based nonprofit legal firm. Pine counseled women on the sidewalk outside a Florida abortion clinic….
Karen Handel, the former secretary of state in Georgia and a former senior vice president of public policy for the Susan G. Komen Center, said she was “shocked” by the findings of the Watchdog investigation.
“It certainly underscores the deep ties the Obama Administration has to the abortion issue,” said Handel, author of the new book, Planned Bullyhood: The Truth Behind the Headlines about the Planned Parenthood Funding Battle with Susan G. Komen for the Cure.
Davis pointed to cases in which activists have sued Planned Parenthood for alleged Medicaid fraud – in Georgia, Iowa, Texas, New York, and Massachusetts – but where Holder’s Justice Department has failed to act.
“The U.S. attorney general has not at all pursued a case against any of them, including this one in Georgia where his wife owns the property,” Davis said.
Also add to the mix the DOJ’s October decision not to investigate an Indiana abortion clinic Allen Country Right to Life alleges is violating the Americans with Disabilities Act.

 Describe the Pulp City game.

Pulp City is a superhero tabletop miniatures game created by Pulp Monsters, set in the 1980s in a fictional location called Pulp City, which is located on the West Coast of the USA. Pulp City is skirmish game for anywhere from 3+ Supremes per Team (recommended). Players use a system of Action Points to regulate use of Actions when models are Activated. Activations usually alternate between players, although specific special abilities allow interruptions to this sequence.
Two or more players choose Teams and fight out Encounters in the streets of Pulp City. Teams are selected from the two available Factions (Heroes or Villains; some characters belong to both Factions), and within these Factions there are Sub-factions representing established Teams of Supremes. Sub-factions allow various bonuses through Actions, Skills and Team Powers. Sub-factions can generally readily mixed within any Team selection.

 Describe the events that occurred during a Black Lives Matter rally in Rochester.

The marchers shut down traffic at Monroe and Howell streets and then Clinton Avenue in Rochester.
A Black Lives Matter rally that began with about 150 participants ended with more than a dozen arrests hours later after protesters disrupted traffic in several spots as they marched late Saturday afternoon through downtown Rochester.
Sixteen arrests were made without incident, according to police. Each of the demonstrators is charged with two counts of disorderly conduct, a violation, and will be arraigned at 9:30 a.m. Monday in Rochester City Court.
The protest started as a rally about 4 p.m. at Washington Square Park, but developed into a march that meandered through areas of downtown. A few minutes later, demonstrators shut down the intersection of of South Union and East Broad streets.
By about 6 p.m. the marchers had shut down the intersection of Monroe Avenue and Howell Street next to Strong Museum.
They later moved to South Clinton Avenue, where police shut down the off ramp to Clinton Avenue from Interstate 490 and redirected traffic. A few protesters remained locked arm-in-arm, seated in the intersection South Clinton Avenue and Woodbury Street.
The Rochester Police Department issued warnings in English and Spanish in an attempt to disperse demonstrators from the roadway. "You are hereby ordered to leave the area," police stated.
Police then surrounded members of the group who remained sitting in a circle on South Clinton Avenue and began making arrests. Members of the Rochester Police Department's tactical unit formed another circle around the officers who were surrounding the protesters.
Officers in riot gear were wearing helmets and were armed with non-lethal weapons. The intersection remained closed for nearly two hours.
Protesters said they have repeatedly invited police and city officials to sit and communicate with them. They said their requests have been ignored. Organizers from Black Lives Matter Roc declined to speak with media. Instead, they said they would only speak with Open Mic Roc, a Rochester-based online black magazine.
"This is basically disobedience," one of the protesters said over a megaphone. "We're not harming anyone."
Another protester added, "I love black people. I love being black. We need to empower each other. White people need to be spectators."
At the first two stops, protesters wrote chalk messages on the roadways and did chalk outlines of fellow demonstrators to signify the black lives impacted by police violence.
On South Clinton Avenue, a small group of protesters blocked a portion of the road with traffic cones and sat in the middle of the street near Geva Theatre. The theater's front door was locked and officers led theatergoers into a side door for an 8 p.m. performance of Million Dollar Quartet.
While the demonstrators were gathered on South Clinton, they engulfed a blue Ford sedan with two occupants that was unable to get through the intersection.
At 6:45 p.m., Deputy Chief La'Ron Singletary of the Rochester Police Department sent an email alert to media that "police are going to start to provide warnings of possible arrests of protesters that are not going to disperse from the area of the vehicle that is being surrounded."
Warnings were issued over a loud speaker and the vehicle was able to leave the area by backing up down South Clinton Avenue.
After the arrests were made, the remaining demonstrators moved back to Washington Square Park.
As officers descended, one of the protesters asked those gathered, "Who is ready to get arrested?" Officers methodically cleared the intersection, handcuffing demonstrators one-by-one and taking them to a Monroe County Sheriff's Office van.
This protest comes nearly two years to the date of a larger Black Lives Matter rally in Rochester, where 74 people were arrested.
That 2016 protest started at the Liberty Pole in downtown Rochester and ended hours later after protesters shut down traffic in the East End.
It took 112 officers, including state police and members of town police departments, three hours to clear the area, Rochester Police Chief Michael Ciminelli said in 2016.
No officers or demonstrators were injured in the 2016 protest.

 What are your thoughts on the current issues surrounding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? Respond in 15 sentences.

April 25 2016, 8:06 p.m.
IN THE FINAL DAYS leading up to Maryland’s Democratic voters going to the polls on Tuesday to choose their U.S. Senate nominee, Rep. Donna Edwards has been barraged by ads and mailers from the Super PAC backing her opponent, Rep. Chris Van Hollen, called the Committee for Maryland’s Progress.
A television ad assails Edwards as “one of the least effective members of Congress,” contrasting her career with Van Hollen’s legislative record. It mentions no foreign policy issues, despite the dominant issue motivating one of the Super PAC’s largest funders.
Recently released disclosures reveal that $100,000 — a sixth of what the Super PAC has raised —comes from a single source: a donation by pro-Israel billionaire Haim Saban.
Days later, he walked back his remarks, saying he “misspoke” and that all “refugees coming from Syria” should “require additional scrutiny,” regardless of religion.
Last week, Sheryl Gay Stolberg of the New York Times wrote that the Maryland Senate race involves “slight differences in policy.” But on Israel and the Palestinians, Edwards has significantly departed from the status quo in votes and statements in ways that her opponent has not.
In November of 2009, the House of Representatives voted 344 to 36 to call on the administration to oppose endorsement of the United Nations’ “Goldstone Report,” which described war crimes by both Israel and Hamas during the previous year’s war. Van Hollen voted with the majority, and Edwards was one of the few who voted no.
Following the 2010 deaths of activists aboard a Gaza-bound flotilla carrying humanitarian aid to the territory under Israeli blockade, Israeli officials and right-wing supporters of the government there denied that there was a growing humanitarian crisis in the territory.
In November 2015, all but one member of the Maryland congressional delegation signed onto a House letter written to Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas condemning the “recent wave of Palestinian violence in Israel and the West Bank.” By mid-October seven Israelis had been killed in stabbings and similar incidents, and dozens had been wounded. In the same time frame, almost 30 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli military attacks and nearly 2,000 had been injured.
I condemn the violence affecting the lives of Israelis and Palestinians, and urge both sides to return to the negotiating table to seek peace. It is critical that we ensure the State of Israel as a secure Jewish democratic state by making a two-state solution a reality, with the recognition of an independent Palestinian state that respects and recognizes the State of Israel.

 Respond in 366 words. Tell me more about the study on non-addictive opioid alternatives.

Scientists are now designing and developing safe and effective substitute painkillers that could serve as alternatives to opioid. It is reported that more than 60,000 people died of opioid overdoses in the U.S. in 2016. With the possible development of the non-addictive opioid alternatives, it might end the worldwide opioid addiction crisis that led to the death of many people.
The findings of the study were published in the journal Cell. The study was led by the researchers from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, according to Futurity.
Bryan Roth, the co-author of the study from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, said that numerous people are dying each year in the U.S. because of opioid overdoses. He further said that more than 50,000 people died in 2016 and described it as a terrible crisis.
In the new study, the scientists examined a receptor protein known as the kappa opioid receptor. This protein could interact with opioids in the brain. It also binds to a molecule related to morphine. This is the first time the researchers discovered the structure of this protein, in which it interacts with a drug.
The scientists explained that knowing and understanding the structure of this protein and how it could interact with the opioids could help them develop drugs that only bind to that certain protein. This could lead to safer and effective painkillers. Although the protein could produce side effects like hallucinations or feelings of unease when it interacts with drugs, the scientists said that they could design and develop drugs that could only cause a pain-relieving effect, according to The Guardian.
They also stated that the kappa opioid receptor could not trigger problems such as constipation, addiction risk, and death caused by overdose. The scientists investigated the structures of different molecules that interact with the kappa opioid receptor and how the molecules interact with the receptors. They also tested them in cell structures.
Roth said that they basically solved the structure and then they could make the medications that have the signaling properties they desired. He further said that it might take some years before these drugs could be available to those who need them.

 Assess the current economic situation in the following regions

Three-quarters of CFOs say U.S. trade policy will have a negative impact on their companies over the next six months, according to a CNBC Global CFO Council quarterly survey.
CFOs are making contingency plans and moving operations as a heated trade war looms.
The majority of executives believe the U.S. trade policy is expected to smack some of the world's largest companies over the next six months, according to the latest quarterly CNBC Global CFO Council survey.
Seventy-five percent of respondents are expecting some level of negative impact on their business, a significant jump in fears since last quarter; 37.5 percent of global respondents say their firms have already experienced higher input costs; 8.3 percent say they have already increased prices.
The CNBC Global CFO Council represents some of the largest public and private companies in the world, collectively managing nearly $5 trillion in market value across a wide variety of sectors.
The quarterly survey was conducted from Sept. 7–17, before the latest round in the growing trade spat between the United States and China. On Monday, President Donald Trump said he will impose 10 percent tariffs on $200 billion in Chinese goods, prompting China to retaliate by announcing its plan to institute new tariffs on some $60 billion worth of U.S. goods.
CFOs have already begun planning ahead for a full-blown trade war. More than half of worldwide respondents say their firms have developed contingency plans in case the situation continues to escalate; 9 percent of U.S. respondents say they have moved operations to minimize tariff impact.
Despite the rising concern over the United States and China being on the brink of a full-blown trade war, CFOs are more concerned over consumer demand. Nearly 46 percent of respondents say it is the biggest external risk factor currently facing their businesses, while only 10.4 percent of CFOs say trade policy is their biggest worry.
What is your assessment of the current economic situation in the following regions?
