Walmart Accused of Racism for Putting Security Tags on Darker Shades of Makeup

Walmart has been accused of racism after a viral video appeared to show security tags placed on only darker shades of makeup at a retail outlet.

The video, allegedly taken at an unspecified Walmart in Kentucky, was posted to TikTok on Sunday and had amassed over 900,000 views as of Monday, while also being shared on other platforms like Twitter. The accusation of racism comes less than a year after the company announced that it would stop allowing stores to exclusively lock up beauty products made for people of color after being accused of racism.

"I'm at my local Walmart and I'm just looking at the makeup section and I noticed this," TikTok user @alynicoletta says in the video. "I'm looking at the concealers and they are all normal, but then once you get down to the darker shades, they have little security tags all over them. But they don't for the lighter colors. So, Walmart, tell me that you're racist without actually saying that you're racist."

A Walmart spokesperson said in a statement to Newsweek that the incident was being looked into on Monday evening, while noting that security policies may differ between individual stores.

"We do not tolerate discrimination of any kind at Walmart," the spokesperson said. "We serve millions of customers weekly, crossing all demographics, and are focused on meeting their needs while providing the best shopping experience at each store."

"Like other retailers, we have policies and training in place that allow individual stores to add additional security for items such as electronics, automotive products, cosmetics and other personal care products to ensure they are available for sale to our customers," they continued. "In this case, we are following up with the store to ensure those policies were followed properly."

After massive Black Lives Matter protests erupted throughout the country last year, Walmart came under fire for alleged racism following a June report from Denver CBS station KCNC. The report concerned beauty products geared towards people of color being locked inside a case in some stores, while similar products aimed at white people were unlocked.

"If I want Suave or Tresemme or Pantene, it's out. The multi-cultural hair care is all locked behind the glass. That's so ridiculous," Lauren Epps, a Black woman who shopped at the store, told KCNC. "The message is clear: We don't trust you... And it's for what? Shampoo? There are bigger things that are happening in the world than people wanting to wash and cleanse their hair."

Days after the report, Walmart announced that it would no longer allow the practice to take place at any of their retail outlets, with the company saying the policy had been in place at only about a dozen out of 4,700 stores. A discrimination lawsuit against the company over the same issue had been dropped during the previous year.

Walmart established its Center for Racial Equity during the same month that it banned the discriminatory policy on beauty products, pledging to donate $100 million over five years to address racial disparities. The first round of funding, consisting of $14.3 million going to 16 separate nonprofit groups, was announced last month.

The company also recently commented on the results of a report conducted in collaboration with McKinsey & Company, which was released last week and focused on the experiences of Black workers in the U.S. Donna Morris, Walmart executive vice president and chief people officer, said that the company was "committed to continuing our focus on tracking and addressing issues at their core, both across society and in workplaces throughout America – including our own."

CES: MCV Partners With Belkin for Accessories

Complete Coverage: CES 2012

At the opening CES Unveiled press event in Las Vegas Sunday, the Mobile Content Venture announced that it will work with consumer electronics manufacturer Belkin on products and designs for accessories that will allow existing owners of smart phones, tablets and other devices to receive live mobile digital broadcasts from MCV's Dyle service.

The agreement is the second major announcement by MCV of new products in the run-up to this year's CES, where the consortium of broadcasters and networks will be demonstrating its Dyle Mobile TV service. Last week, MCV announced that it had inked a deal with its first wireless carrier, MetroPCS, and that Samsung would produce an Android-based smart phone with the built in capacity to receive mobile DTV signals.

"We have a lined up a carrier that will offer an embedded solution for receiving Dyle's live broadcasts and now we have an agreement with one of the best accessory manufacturers to create solutions for the existing installed base," notes Salil Dalvi, co-general manager of MCV and senior VP of digital distribution at NBCUniversal in an interview.

Brian Van Harlingen, chief technology officer at Belkin, notes that they were not ready to announce specific products, launch dates for the accessories or pricing, but are hoping to unveil some specific products by the end of the first quarter and that they would definitely be bringing products to market this year.

At CES they would be demonstrating a prototype system with an adaptor and earphone that could be plugged into existing iPhones and iPads. The ear-buds would plug into the adaptor and also act as an antenna that would receive the mobile DTV signals, notes Harlingen.

"It unleashes the potential of these tablets for viewing live TV," he says. "It has rock-solid reception for UHF and VHF signals."

"It is a very unique and innovative solution" that solves the problem of having to attach an unwieldy antenna to existing consumer devices, adds Erik Moreno, co-general manager of MCV and senior VP of corporate development at the Fox Networks Group.

Editorial: Face Facts

The Obama administration continues to work with stakeholders on best practices for the use of facial recognition technology. That’s a good thing. The idea that we can be identified, tracked and categorized by technology in our phones or TVs or the countless cameras that capture us multiple times per day is more than a little frightening.

Of course there are upsides, like identifying terrorists or shoplifters. But as with many issues, the balance between privacy and security has yet been met.

We were saddened to see that the civil society community continued to be no-shows at the government-moderated work sessions, though we understand their frustrations. They want more teeth in the privacy protections, including a default opt-in regime. Stakeholders are more for finessing the data collection and for it being more of a road map with flexibility to take various paths to fair information-sharing practices.

We hope one of those paths could be back to a stakeholder process that includes civil society. The more heads, and hands, working on this and other issues of privacy vs. security, the better.

On a related note, it seems to us that advocacy group Fight for the Future had a point last week in asking the FBI to share with Apple how it was able to hack its phone without the company’s help after previously suggesting to a court that it was impossible. That is another front in the war—or at least tug-of-war—of privacy vs. security.

The more information Apple has about how its security can be breached by the bad guys—and we’re not including the FBI in that group, unless that proves warranted—the better the rest of us who own an iPhone or other Apple devices will feel.

Indies Aren’t Catching the Diversity Wave

Multicultural-themed programming is riding a wave of ratings and critical success on TV, but that rising tide isn’t lifting all boats.

From Emmy Award-winning shows like Netflix’s Orange Is the New Black and its multicultural cast, to ratings hits like Fox’s Empire, Starz’s Power and ABC’s Fresh Off the Boat and Black-ish, ethnically diverse TV content is hot. But even in such a TV climate, executives at independently owned multicultural networks said their services still struggle to gain widespread distribution.

Even with a growing base of multicultural subscribers who watch more hours of television than white viewers — along with an increase of young, multicultural millennials who are either cord-cutters or cable-nevers — distributors aren’t rushing to sign up networks that target the industry’s current and future subscribers, executives said.

“Overall, 40% of the population is multicultural, so what all that means is multicultural is now the new mainstream,” said Tonia O’Connor, chief commercial officer and president of content distribution for Univision Communications, which also handles distribution duties for four-year-old, male-targeted El Rey Network and young, Hispanic audience-targeted news service Fusion.

“It’s good business to be in this business,” O’Connor said. “Whether distributors have come to embrace it yet or not, they absolutely have to in order to continue to have any growth in the future — they can no longer ignore the multicultural consumer or opportunity.”

While most television observers recognize today’s lineup of quality content from cable, broadcast and over-the-top digital services like Netflix as a new Golden Age of Television, it’s also arguably the most prolific time for multicultural programming.

This comes as the U.S. grows more diverse, and as diverse groups grow more influential determining in how and when entertainment content is delivered.

African-Americans watched more than 44 hours of live and time-shifted TV a week during fourth-quarter 2015, well above the 31-hour average for all adults, according to the recent Nielsen Total Audience Report. Hispanics nearly double all viewers in minutes spent watching video on smartphones, while Asian-Americans use multimedia devices to view television nearly a full hour more than the general public does.

Given those realities, the assumption would be that multichannel-video providers would be aggressive in launching networks aimed at the growing, highly influential multicultural audience. But network executives said some distributors have yet to recognize the value of multicultural content.

Most high-profile shows with appeal to multicultural audiences air on mainstream networks backed by major media companies, Africa Channel executive vice president of content and global operations Narendra Reddy said, adding that independently-owned multicultural channels don’t have the budget or staff to develop and market such programming. But that doesn’t mean Africa Channel’s scripted movies and reality shows originating from the continent are any less valuable or appealing to multicultural viewers, Reddy said.

He added that most favored nations language in contracts, restrictions on social-media marketing and promotion of content on the Web, and a lack of negotiating power during contract talks have hampered Africa Channel’s ability to gain distribution as an independent network.

“Even if the heads of programming for these various distributors believe that this content that we have will resonate with audiences, basically they’re forced to carry networks from the companies that have far greater leverage than we do,” Reddy said.

That doesn’t sit well with multicultural viewers who respond favorably to content targeted toward them. According to a recent Horowitz Race, Diversity and Media survey, 64% of multicultural millennials said they found television shows featuring a mainly multicultural cast appealing, compared to 44% of white viewers.

Yet beyond a few select shows, network executives say such images are rare on the current lineup of cable channels.

“A multicultural cable subscriber today sees his or her dollar being mainstream, but the reality is when they look at what’s being offered they’re seeing that there’s just not that much there,” said Mark Walton, president of sales and marketing for One Caribbean Television. “Even though you may see an article or some conversation around all of this, from the consumer’s perspective it gets back to ‘I have 500 channels and I only have four or five that are addressing some of the interests I have.’ ”

One Caribbean Television, which offers entertainment, news and weather content from such Caribbean nations as the Bahamas, Antigua and Barbuda, Jamaica and Barbados, is currently offered on RCN with the network in distribution talks with several other operators. One Caribbean targets the nearly 10 million to 20 million African-Americans who have some connection to the Caribbean, as well as mainstream viewers who travel and have interest in the region.

“The consumer is paying X dollars but is getting X minus dollars in terms of value to them,” Walton said. “In order to breach that gap and reduce churn, you have to have the offerings that that consumer wants.”

Network executives said they recognize that MVPDs are under pressure to curb programming costs and adjust programming packages to prevent younger subscribers from churning or shifting to over-the-top subscription VOD services.

“[Distributors] might not be as confident to take risks on launching multicultural-themed channels,” Miguel Santos, general manager for Asian-American targeted network Myx TV, said. “The business environment is di_ cult — they’re seeing some churn, so it’s making a lot of MVPD executives risk-averse. They don’t really see at the moment the value of multicultural channels.”

One executive who said she does recognize the value of multicultural content is Verizon Fios executive director of content strategy and acquisition Michelle Webb. She told the Horowitz Associates Cultural Insights Forum in March that the telco is looking to balance that with finding the best ways to offer the most choice to consumers.

“It’s all about managing demand and bandwidth considerations,” she said.

Aspire TV has seen some small but noteworthy movement on the distribution front, vice president of business affairs and channel operations Melissa Ingram said. The African-American-targeted network, founded by basketball hall of famer Earvin “Magic” Johnson, has seen its subscriber rolls grow to 34 million viewers since its 2012 launch; it projects it will be in 37 million homes by year-end.

“Not only is [the multicultural] audience is requesting this type of programming but … from a business standpoint, affiliates are starting to understand the importance of having diverse content,” she said. “They’ve seen the success of shows like Empire and they’ve seen a movement by subscribers demanding such content, which is forcing these large distributors to understand the importance and value of it and to get more content like that on their systems.”

As networks continue to push for linear distribution, others are exploring the Web in an eff ort to generate interest and awareness for their brands. Networks such as Myx TV, Fuse and One Caribbean Television use apps to give viewers a chance to check out video content from the networks, as well as some live programming.

“If you want to reach a younger audience, you have to be available on all of the relevant devices, and you have to have content that’s available on-demand,” Fuse Media CEO Michael Schwimmer said. “Obviously, you have to be able to balance that with the network’s role within the pay TV ecosystem, but I think that it’s all doable and important. Anybody that doesn’t have a strong digital presence does so at their own risk.”

Myx TV’s Santos believes networks targeting multicultural millennials in particular may find online distribution a more attractive way of exposing the brand to key audiences. Asian-Americans, especially, tend to watch content online on various mobile devices, so anyone looking to reach that audience would fare well in the digital space, according to Santos.

Myx TV is considering launching an OTT service in the near future, although Santos would not disclose a time frame. “OTT is possibly the key to diversifying entertainment,” he said. “Given the competitive environment and the uncertainty within the industry, it would behoove us to look at all options to really get our content out.

“In the end, the power is with the viewer, and they will decide where they want to watch their content — if they want to watch it over the top we should be there, and if they want to watch it on a linear platform we should be there, too.”

Viacom Revs Down, Adjusted Net Earnings Up

Viacom reported fourth quarter 2009 revenues of $4.098 billion on Feb. 11, down 3% from 4Q 2008. Full-year revenues were down 7%, to $13.619 billion, reflecting decreases in feature films, advertising and ancillary revenues.

Theatrical revenues were down 73% year-over-year, to $93 million in the quarter. Media network revenues were down 5%, to $8.29 billion, due to lower ad and ancillary revenues, somewhat offset by a boost in affiliate fees.

But thanks to cost-cutting and strong filmed entertainment profits (Transformers, Star Trek, Paranormal Activity), adjusted operating income was actually up 24% for the quarter and adjusted net earnings were up 43% for the quarter, according to the company.

"Despite the economic challenges, we performed extremely well across our media networks and motion picture operations," said Viacom Executive Chairman Sumner Redstone in a statement.

Viacom President & CEO Philippe Dauman cited the "resurgence" of BET and ratings gains at MTV as among the cable brands whose multiple revenue streams helped "temper" the effects of the economic slump.

Viacom said its debt had decreased from $8 billion on Dec. 31, 2008, to $6.77 on Dec. 31, 2009.

A few things:

1. Price: each painting is $125.

2. I don't paint animals without toppings. That topping is preferred to be a fruit or vegetable however other food items may be considered on a case by case basis. Non-food items will not be considered.

3. While I will make every effort to make the painting look like your specific pet, it will likely be a resemblance for all intensive purposes. If your pet has some specific - and large - scar that will greatly increase the likeness ;)

3. Despite the somewhat visual generic-ness your painting will definitely be infused with your pet's soul. To make this possible please include one or two anecdotes that best capture your pet's joie de vivre.

5. I'll follow up with you over email to get more details, pictures, payment, and shipping info.

The Rituximab In Myositis (RIM) Study

The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS) at the National Institutes of Health is sponsoring an international multi-center trial to be conducted in both adult and juvenile myositis. This study will be directed and coordinated by Dr. Chester Oddis in the Division of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and Dr. Ann Reed, Chair Pediatric Rheumatology, Mayo Foundation and School of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic. This study will begin enrolling subjects at the end of 2005 and will be announced on multiple websites at that time. The goal of this study is to perform a collaborative multi-center trial by adult and pediatric rheumatologists and neurologists implementing newly defined disease activity and damage measures in childhood and adult inflammatory myopathy to examine the efficacy of an investigational biologic agent. This trial will define the disease activity and damage measures and definitions of improvement established by IMACS, thereby enhancing future myositis research and the conduct of clinical trials in IIM. Through the study of this biologic agent we will seek to elucidate the determinants of disease response and non-response in juvenile and adult IIM and gain insight into the pathogenesis of these enigmatic autoimmune syndromes.

Politics Buhari's Loyalists Endorse Dickson For Bayelsa Election

✅ NEW - car park, swimming pool, 24 hours light/security and more.
As the race for the governoship elections in Bayelsa state gets hotter, a group under the auspice of Buhari Network of Friends (BNF) has stated that it will mobilise 600 of its members to support the candidacy of Governor Serikake Dickson for his second term bid.

The group leaders, Chris Otobo (State Coordinator) and Liza Tokumo (Publicity Secretary) said that among the candidates seeking for election, Dickson is the most qualified with intimidating credentials.

According to The Sun, BNF members explained that they are ready to support Dickson to the end to ensure that he wins the December 5 gubernatorial election in the state.

The group said: “On our own part, we have done independent survey and the outcome showed that the candidacy of Hon. Dickson is widely accepted. We were formerly in APC and we know what we are talking about. Of all the candidates, Dickson has all that it takes to lead the state to the promise land. In close to four years in office, Governor Dickson has been able to prove his worth in the provision of infrastructure, education and health to mention a few. If these could be done in four years, he would surpass his first term achievements if re-elected. It is based on his achievements that we are endorsing him for second term in office.”

Reacting to this development, the acting chairman of the Peoples Democratic Party, Senera-Dokubo, said that it is a morale booster.

He noted that this the support will spur Governor Dickson to work harder to deliver more dividends of democracy to the people

On his party, Dickson described his endorsement by the group as a welcome development saying: “I am not ready to play politics with development of Bayelsa State.

“You have made a clear distinction between me and the other candidates, going by your endorsement and support for the restoration agenda and the Ijaw course, which is right and just, especially at this period of our political development. This is the Jerusalem of Ijaw nation and I will not renege on the oath I took on assumption of office close to four years ago.”

It would be recalled that a chieftain of the PDP in Kogi state had reportedly been kidnapped.

He was kidnapped by gunmen at Ajegu in Ofu local government area of the state.

Enape, a member of the Kogi state pension board, was said to have been kidnapped on his way from the governorship campaign tour of Idah in the Kogi-East senatorial district.

Erin O’Toole has led a life of service. Born in Montreal, QC, he grew up as a middle-class kid in Bowmanville, ON. He enrolled in the Royal Canadian Air Force when he was 18 and attended the Royal Military College. His time in the RCAF took him across Canada, completing basic training in Chilliwack, BC; earning his wings in Winnipeg, MB; and serving out of Halifax, NS as a tactical navigator.

He served as Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of International Trade before becoming Minister of Veterans Affairs, a beleaguered file he successfully turned around within 10 months at the end of the Harper government.

After serving as the Conservative Shadow Minister of Foreign Affairs for two years, Erin is now the Leader of Canada’s Conservatives.

Erin is married to Rebecca and they have two children, Mollie and Jack.

It’s tough handing the keys over to your 17-year-old. No matter how many practice drives you went on or how fast he passed the test, parents lose sleep thinking about what can happen to their teens on the road, especially with all the horror stories about teens texting and driving. To help you sleep at night, Toyota just released a genius new app meant to give Mom and Dad some peace of mind.

Safe & Sound (which you put on both phones) prevents notifications, calls and pings from coming up while the car is in motion, and even punishes teens by playing their parents’ Spotify playlist instead of their own music every time the speed limit is broken or the phone is picked up. The app is just for Androids at the moment, but the good news is you don’t need a Toyota to use it.

And while this may sound like a hoax, it's real. And it’s the ultimate way to mortify your teen for his own good; what parent doesn’t love that? See below:

Financing of US Life Settlements

An Asset Class with Enormous Market Potential

The secondary market for US Life Settlements is the principal market worldwide. With a global premium share of 22%, the US is the world’s largest market for Life Settlements, half of which is terminated prematurely. Mainly older US citizens terminate their risk life insurance policies prematurely and sell them profitably to companies specialized in the purchase, so-called providers. From these, investors acquire individual policies and, taking into account a cautious consideration of the risk over the term of the policy, receive their profits upon payment of the sum insured. The independence of this asset class from the stock and capital markets is an important and positive investment criteria.

Successfully Financing with Our Experience

North Channel Bank is one of the few financial institutions in the world to finance investments in US Life Settlements. We adjust the financing individually to the term and structure of the investment. It may cover the acquisition of portfolios, the payment of recurring premiums, a leverage or the repayment of existing loan liabilities.

Within our extensive experience, we have built our expertise and continually worked with NorthStar Life Services, LLC to improve verification mechanisms, provide intensive investor education, and develop customized solutions.

A Market with Many Options and Advantages:

  • High Interest Rate:

    Due to the current low interest rates, investments in high-yield asset classes such as US Life Settlements are interesting investment alternatives.

  • Security:

    The lacking correlation between this asset class and the equity and capital markets is an important, positive investment criteria.

  • An Established Market:

    For more than 100 years life insurance policies have been legally sold in the US as tradable assets. Already at the time of conclusion of the contract, the possibility of selling in the secondary market is taken into account.

We offer various products to finance investments in life insurance policies or their premiums. In cooperation with our affiliate, NorthStar Life Settlements Trading, LLC, Irvine, California, and the US servicer NorthStar Life Services, LLC, we cover a broad range of services in this sector.

Winter storm brought severe cold and lots of snow to the local area

FUN IN THE SNOW–While the storm continued to drop more snow on Monday afternoon, Justin Stengel, at left, and Devin Candler braved the sub-zero temperatures and enjoyed sledding down and snowboarding on one of the big piles of snow next to the Red Bud City Hall Park.

Winter decided to come back with a vengeance late last week bringing bone chilling single digit temperatures for the weekend, and then added an abundance of snow to start this week.

With area schools called off for most of last week due to ice, snow, freezing temperatures and unsafe driving conditions, the trend continued this week with most schools opting to call off in person attendance and switch to remote learning.

The total amount of snow that fell on the local area ranges, especially considering the height of some of the snow drifts. The National Weather Service in St. Louis reported a total of 5.7 inches fell on Monday, Feb. 15, and the total for the month of February was 8.1 inches. However, further south the amount of snowfall was a bit higher.

According to multiple news outlets, some of the snowfall totals from Monday’s snow storm included: 7.5 inches in Waterloo, 8.5 inches in Red Bud, 8.8 inches in Marissa and 9.5 inches in Freeburg.

For more on the winter storm, please see this week’s print edition.

Friendly firefighter helps students to be prepared for fires

Article content

It is traumatic for anyone to be inside their home when it is on fire. If you are only four or five years old this experience can be even worse, often causing the very young to hid under their beds or in a closet.
Even when found, the experience can be terrifying as the young person is trying to deal with the situation and then sees a big person dressed in black wearing a mask and making odd breathing sounds coming towards them.
The Kirkland Lake Fire Services has a program to help young people in kindergarten or junior kindergarten to be better prepared should they every find themselves in their home when it is burning.
Kirkland Lake firefighter Danny Sasseville, or as he is known to the students Friendly Firefighter Danny, recently made an interactive presentation to kindergarten students at Central Public School.
When Friendly Firefighter Danny starts his presentation he is dressed in a T-shirt and work pants that firefighters wear at the hall, by the time he finishes his presentation he is completely dressed in his turnout gear, which is how he would look when he entered a house that is on fire.
While firefighter Friendly Danny is getting his gear on he explains how each part of his gear is specifically designed to protect him while he fights fires. How the clothing has a special layer in it to keep him from getting burned. this true for his coat and his pants and even his gloves are specially designed to protect his hands. As well the balaclava he wears under his helmet is worn to protect his head and face from the flames and heat of the fire.
during the presentation he asks the children various questions like what should they do if they are in their bedroom and the smoke alarm goes off. the children knew that they should go to their bedroom door and feel it to see if it is hot, and if it is hot they need to stay in the room. friendly Firefighter Danny told them is they stay in the room they should find clothes or other items to place along the bottom of the door to keep the smoke out. then they should go to a window and if they can open it yell as loud as they can for help and keeping making noise until help arrives. If they can't open the window they should still go to the window and make as much noise as they can, so when firefighters arrive they will know there is a child in the room.
Not only did Friendly Firefighter Danny ask the children what they should do if their clothes are on fire, he demonstrated the stop, drop and roll technique, keeping his face covered, just like the children should do.
It can be very scary for a four or five year old in a burning building to hear the sounds that specialized breathing and other fire fighting equipment make. So Firefighter Danny demonstrated the noise his breathing apparatus makes when it runs low on air, as well as the sound of the alarm that goes off should he be injured and unable to move.
After the demonstration Friendly Firefighter Danny got down on his hands and knees an crawled around in front of the children so they could hear the noise his breathing apparatus makes and could touch him so if they are ever in a fire they will be familiar with the sights, and sounds they will encounter when being rescued by a firefighter.
Judging by the reaction of the junior and senior kindergarten pupils at Central Public School Friendly Firefighter Danny was successful in making the children feel comfortable if they ever have to deal with the real situation.

Scouts train interns

The intern applicants work on activities to get to know each other and the purpose of the programme.

Scouts South Africa is bringing out a new class of interns who will work with the organisation in different schools for a year.

Their work varies from hiking Table Mountain to organising meetings with school principals.

There are 29 active interns in 15 different schools in Khayelitsha, Ocean View, Grassy Park, Lotus River, Athlone, Hout Bay, Masiphumelele,Retreatand Gugulethu.

Through the internship programme, unemployed youth who have not had a job since matriculating, are recruited and placed in different schools as scout leaders. Scouting experience, however, is not necessary, said scouting training programme leader Ahmad Solomon, from Wynberg.

“It’s very difficult going for job interviews because your CV is really just one page. The reality is that you don’t have the money to perhaps go and study further or you’re trying to apply for a bursary,” Mr Solomon said.

The internship programme is a game changing venture for the scouts because the programme tends to focus on youth, said Scouts Western Cape Regional CommissionerPaddyMilner, from Constantia.

“This particular initiative fills quite a big gap for youth in the 18 to 25 age group,” said Mr Milner.

The programme is set up to make interns more marketable when entering the work field by helping them gain skills and experience, Mr Solomon added.

“By training them in scouting methodology, by giving them organisational, planning skills and many of the other skills that are needed for working in the outdoors and working with kids, things like first aid, hiking, leadership, mountaineering, map reading, all these skills are being picked up and this will sit on their CV,” Mr Solomon said.

Wardah Dollie, 21, from Grassy Park, will finish her internship in November and believes the skills she learned have prepared her for the workforce.

“I must be able (to use) what I’ve learned here in my workplace one day and I’ll hopefully be skilled enough and confident enough to guide and do the job that I’d like to do,” Ms Dollie said.

One of the scouts’ problems is finding leaders willing to volunteer their time and skills, since leaders are not paid.

Ms Dollie is an example of the success of this method; she hopes to continue working with the scouts as a volunteer after her internship ends.

“When I started the internship it was breathtaking that I’d want to take it a bit further and yes I’m still going to stay scouting as a volunteer,” she said.

The new programme is beneficial on both ends – for pupils being recruited and for the interns.

Pupils now have a sanctuary to go to after school and interns are able to improve their leadership skills.

“By establishing scout groups at schools, we are able to combat this and develop what scouting has been doing all these years and that is building leadership among youth.”

Through scouting, they also hope to make a dent in the school dropout rate, Mr Solomon said.

“It’s through a scouting programme that you’ll see how these other kids’ abilities and their talents just come to the fore,” he said.

Since the beginning of the programme, the organisation has increased its membership by 20 percent, now serving just over 700 children, and 50 interns will enter the job market.

Ringwood police arrest 4 in home invasion, assault case

Suburban Trends
View Comments

RINGWOOD — Four local men who allegedly broke into a Cupsaw Lake home in January, assaulted a man inside and robbed items from the home have been charged with related offenses, authorities said Friday.

During the Jan. 21 home invasion, the victim, a resident of the targeted house, sustained bruises and swelling on the face and head, authorities said. Police were notified of a burglary in progress, but the four suspects — from Wanaque and Vernon — had left the scene before the officers’ arrival, making off with clothes, shoes, and electronics after ransacking several rooms, the borough Police Department said in a release.

On Thursday, police charged Lynn McClendon, 24, Angel Rabelo, 18, Douglas Muller, 19, all of Wanaque, and Zachary Coombs, 20, of Vernon with robbery, theft of a controlled dangerous substance (marijuana) and aggravated assault in connection with the burglary. In addition, McClendon was charged with possession of a weapon and possession of a weapon for an unlawful purpose, police said.

Police Chief Joseph Walker said the weapon in question was a pellet gun.

McClendon was being held Friday in the Passaic County Jail in lieu of $350,000 bail. Bail for Rabelo and Coombs was set at $25,000, which only Coombs posted. Rabelo also was lodged in the county jail. Muller was released on $10,000 bail.

The borough police Detective Bureau investigated the case with assistance from the Passaic County Sheriff’s Department CSI Unit, which processed the burglary scene.

Earlier this month, McClendon was charged in Wayne Township with armed robbery, aggravated assault and weapons possession offenses for allegedly beating a 30-year-old Wayne man inside a hotel room with a baseball bat and stealing his money and jewelry on Apr. 9, said Wayne police Detective Laurence W. Martin. The alleged assault at the Wayne Motor Inn left the victim with a head wound and blood splattered on the hotel room’s walls and pooled on the floor of the bedroom and bathroom. He was treated at St. Joseph’s Regional Medical Center in Paterson, said Detective Martin.

Following this incident in Wayne, McClendon was taken to the Passaic County Jail in lieu of $150,000 bail. He still was being held in jail when charged with the Ringwood burglary, said Ringwood police Sgt. Steve Hafner.

Also, earlier this year in Wanaque, McClendon was charged with making terroristic threats, weapons offenses and marijuana possession after a 19-year-old Haskell woman said he threatened her with a handgun outside a Ringwood Avenue liquor store on Feb. 18. Police arrested McClendon at his home and also recovered a black pellet gun, according to a release by Wanaque police at the time.

Additionally, last month in Wayne, Rabelo was charged with drug possession after he allegedly was found to have 11 glassine baggies of suspected heroin, according to a release by Martin.

 Epileptic Seizure: Symptoms and Treatment | NorthShore
Skip to Content

Epilepsy Program

Comprehensive Vision of Clinical Care | Care Team | EEG Monitoring Services | Surgical Treatment | Patient and Community Support | Research | For More Information

Epilepsy is a disorder involving repeated seizures, or episodes of disturbed brain function that cause changes in attention and/or behavior. Seizures are caused by abnormal electrical excitation in the brain. Epileptic seizures can be related to a temporary condition such as exposure to drugs, withdrawal from certain drugs or abnormal levels of sodium or glucose in the blood. In these cases repeated seizures may be prevented when the underlying problems are corrected.

The epilepsy program at NorthShore University HealthSystem (NorthShore) provides advanced knowledge and treatment options in an academic medical center setting. As a National Association of Epilepsy Centers Level 3 accredited Epilepsy Center, we meet the highest standards in the field. We work to develop a tailored treatment plan for every patient and offer the latest approaches including epilepsy clinical trials. Children and teens with epilepsy are treated by specialists in our Pediatric Neurology and Epilepsy Program

Most importantly, our patients and their loved ones are attended by a cohesive team of experts from a variety of disciplines. Our specialists combine their best knowledge to provide comprehensive care and a personalized epilepsy treatment plan. We aim to provide superior access, service and care coordination through teamwork, integration and collaboration.

Comprehensive Vision of Clinical Care

Epilepsy is a complex disease that affects each patient differently. Some patients may respond well to the first anti-epileptic medication [C1] they’re ever prescribed, while some may require more complex medical management or additional intervention such as surgery.

At NorthShore Neurological Institute, we’ve designed an Epilepsy Program to assess each patient’s needs and develop the best possible treatment plan. We offer access to a comprehensive set of services for patients, including:

  • Care coordination through our award-winning electronic medical record system
  • Clinical research
  • Electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring
  • Epilepsy Monitoring Unit (EMU)
  • Specially trained epilepsy staff
  • Surgery
  • Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS)
  • Responsive Neurostimulation

Your Care Team

NorthShore Neurological Institute takes a multidisciplinary approach to epilepsy treatment. Our integrated team puts patients and families at the center of a complete and compassionate healthcare plan. We collaborate with each other through face to face interactions and by utilizing one of the most advanced electronic medical records systems in the country to ensure a seamless patient experience.

Your epilepsy program care team may include:

  • Staff epileptologist (neurologist with special training in epilepsy)
  • Neurosurgeon
  • Nurse specialist
  • Neuropsychologist
  • Interventional neuroradiologist
  • Neurophysiologist
  • Technologist
  • Social Worker
  • Nutritionist

EEG Monitoring Services

EEG monitoring has proven to be a crucial analytical tool for epilepsy management. NorthShore utilizes four functions of EEG monitoring:

Intracranial Electrocorticographic Monitoring (ECoG): During ECoG, electrodes are placed directly on the exposed surface of the brain to record electrical activity and localize epileptogenic zones. This is typically used for pre-surgical planning in patients whose seizures could not be localized by EEG. We also perform stereo EEG mapping.

ICU Monitoring: Patients are monitored at the bedside with continuous EEG in the ICU. The study lasts from 24 hours to a few days and is done in patients who have unexplained altered mental status and in whom clinically undetected epileptic seizures need to be ruled out.

Ambulatory EEG Monitoring: Patients are monitored up to 72 hours at home with a special recorder. Ambulatory EEGs are used to see longer recordings during prolonged periods of awake and asleep to diagnose epilepsy and determine what type of seizures are occurring.

Wada Testing

For patients considering surgery, some may undergo a pre-surgical evaluation known as the Wada test. Performed by epilepsy specialists, including epileptologists (neurologists specializing in epilepsy), neuroradiologists and neuropsychologists, this test helps determine which side of the brain controls language (which varies from individual to individual) and memory function.

Surgical Epilepsy Treatment

NorthShore offers the latest surgical alternatives for patients whose epileptic seizures cannot be controlled by medications. Surgical techniques provide additional treatment options for patients seeking relief from epileptic seizures and improved quality of life.

Neurological Institute neurosurgeons are experienced in the use of Visualase, an advanced laser thermal ablation technique. We routinely use the minimally-invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided technique for surgically treating epilepsy patients. The stereotactic neurosurgical procedure involves inserting a thin laser fiber into the skull to precisely target areas of the brain causing seizures. Light energy from the laser heats the brain tissue, effectively destroying it. Upon removal of the laser applicator, only one stitch is needed to close the wound.

Our multidisciplinary team will coordinate preparation, care and epilepsy treatment to strive for the best possible outcomes for you and your family.

Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS)

NorthShore’s physicians are experts in Vagal Nerve Stimulation (VNS). VNS is a unique treatment that is delivered through an implanted device similar to a pacemaker that gives periodic stimulation to the brain that helps prevent or interrupt seizures. The device is implanted through a minimally invasive procedure and does not involve brain surgery.

NorthShore’s VNS program includes comprehensive care management, including support from a dedicated nurse coordinator.

Responsive Neurostimulation

Advances in implantable device technology continue to allow more precise detection of seizure activity to stop seizures at their source. At NorthShore, we offer the RNS® System from NeuroPace. Placed in the skull and hidden under the scalp, the neurostimulator targets areas of your brain where your particular seizures start. The RNS System is a reversible treatment that does not involve removing any brain tissue.

Neuropsychological Evaluation

Epilepsy symptoms can include not only seizures but also changes in reasoning, mood and behavior that affect work, school and home life. Our experienced neuropsychology team provides complete neuropsychological evaluations that help establish a baseline for cognitive and emotional functioning so that changes can be monitored over time for epilepsy treatment planning. These assessments can also help determine seizure origin and predict cognitive outcome after surgical interventions for epilepsy. A formal evaluation involves assessment of memory, language, visual spatial skills, attention and motor abilities.

For more information about our neuropsychological evaluations, please call 847.425.6400.

Patient and Community Support

NorthShore collaborates with Epilepsy Foundation of America and provides a support group meeting as well as patient educational programs. For more information, please contact the Nurse Specialist for the Epilepsy Program at 847.570.2570.

Clinical Research

Research is an integral part of the NorthShore Epilepsy program and includes methods to predict and modify outcomes in epilepsy; pharmacogenomics and mechanisms of drug resistance; alternate treatments and various drug trials. View a full list of all available neurological clinical trials.

For More Information

Please call 877.570.7020 for more information on epilepsy symptoms and treatment or to schedule an appointment with one of our specialists.

Chick-Fil-A To Open First Restaurant In Liberal Heartland Of New York City

New York liberals just got an epic dose of reality by the biggest conservative company in America. Chick-fil-A is officially taking over the Big Apple....

New York liberals just got an epic dose of reality by the biggest conservative company in America. Chick-fil-A is officially taking over the Big Apple.

“Six days shall work be done: but the seventh day is the sabbath of rest, an holy convocation; ye shall do no work therein: it is the sabbath of the LORD in all your dwellings.” Leviticus 23:3 (KJV)

The Atlanta-based restaurant chain will debut a three-level eatery at 1000 Sixth Ave., at the corner of West 37th Street, in late summer. The 5,000-square-foot space marks the 48-year-old company’s first foray into the Big Apple market, though it has operated a tiny outpost within the food hall of New York University’s campus for years. The closest location is 15 miles away in Paramus, N.J.

“We are beyond excited about opening our first freestanding restaurant in New York,” said Carrie Kurlander, vice president of public relations. “This location will allow us to serve fans who have been asking us to come to New York and to earn the opportunity to serve new customers.” She noted that the company is actively working on additional restaurants to open here this year and next.

FLASHBACK: “Guilty as charged,” CFA President Dan Cathy said. “We are very much supportive of the family—the biblical definition of the family unit. We are a family-owned business, a family-led business, and we are married to our first wives. We give God thanks for that.” “We know that it might not be popular with everyone,” he added, “but thank the Lord, we live in a country where we can share our values and operate on biblical principles.” source

Like its other 1,850 locations, Chick-fil-A’s New York restaurant, which is a franchise location, will not be open on Sundays, as the company “believes all operators and team members deserve a day off,” according to a spokeswoman. Of course, only operating six days of a week will make affording the city’s hefty rents a difficult task. The asking rent for the Sixth Avenue space was $450 a square foot for the ground floor, for example.

It also remains to be seen how the city’s gay community will welcome the chain. Chick-fil-A met with controversy three years ago in Boston following anti-same-sex marriage comments made by company Chief Executive Dan Cathy. Since then, Mr. Cathy has reportedly said he will no longer mix business with social issues.

“Chick-fil-A believes in doing everything with integrity, and that really comes across,” said Michael Cohen, the owner of the Sixth Avenue space. source

Helicopter Crash Blamed On Bad Weather, Claims Five Lives

August 2, 2013

A Helicopter Crash that occurred in Pennsylvania this past weekend claimed the lives of five people. Reports indicate the crash happened just after 10:30 p.m. Saturday, July 27, near Noxen, in the northeastern region of the state.

According to an article published by The Huffington Post, the pilot took off from the Tri Cities Airport in Endicott, New York, in a R66 Rotorcraft helicopter with four passengers aboard the aircraft. A short time later, air traffic control received a call from the pilot saying he was losing altitude and was attempting to return to the airport. When controllers lost contact with the pilot, search crews were dispatched and the wreckage of the aircraft was found in a heavily wooded area at around 2 p.m. the following day.

All five of the individuals aboard the helicopter at the time of the crash were killed.

The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) is heading up an investigation into the crash and believes fog and foul weather may have been contributing factors in the accident.

Experts say helicopters are able to fly under more severe weather than fixed-wing aircraft; however, this ability also puts those aboard helicopters at greater risk of being involved in an accident.

The Aviation Accident Attorneys with Nurenberg, Paris, Heller & McCarthy are here to help if you or a loved one has been harmed in a helicopter crash.

How Much Is The Fee For Ethereum

How Much Is The Fee For Ethereum – What in the world is Ethereum I mean I keep becoming aware of everything the time I have actually seen it’s the second biggest cryptocurrency around, but I just can’t seem to cover my head around it.

How Much Is The Fee For Ethereum

Is it as advanced as Bitcoin? Can it in fact change the world as we know it If you want to have a better understanding of Ethereum, but are tired of explanations that sound like complete technical mumbo jumbo, remain … Here on Bitcoin, Whiteboard Tuesday, or need to I state, Ethereum, Whiteboard Tuesday, we’ll answer these concerns And more.
Prior to we get into Ethereum, we need to do a fast wrap-up about Bitcoin because it’s the basis from which Ethereum was born.
By now you probably understand that Bitcoin is a form of decentralized cash, and if you still have some concerns about what that suggests or how it works, then you might consider reviewing our original video “what is Bitcoin”.

Before Bitcoin was developed.
The only method to use cash digitally was through an intermediary like a bank or Paypal.
Even then, the cash used was still a federal government released and regulated currency.

Nevertheless, Bitcoin altered all that by developing a decentralized form of currency that individuals could trade directly without the requirement for an intermediary.
Each Bitcoin transaction is verified and validated by the whole Bitcoin network.
There’s, no single point of failure, so the system is virtually impossible to shut down, control or control.

Pretty cool huh Well now that we know that cash can be decentralized.
What other functions of society that are centralized today would be better served on a decentralized system.
What about voting Voting requires a main authority to count and verify votes.

Real estate transfer records currently use central residential or commercial property registration.
Social media like Facebook are based on centralized servers that manage all of the information we publish to them.

What if we might use the technology behind Bitcoin, more commonly understood as Blockchain to decentralize other things.
The fascinating thing about Blockchain innovation is that it’s, really, the spin-off of the Bitcoin innovation.
Blockchain technology was produced by fusing already existing technologies like cryptography evidence of work and decentralized network architecture together in order to develop a system that can reach decisions without a central authority.

There was no such thing as “blockchain innovation” before Bitcoin was developed.
When Bitcoin became a truth, people started discovering how and why it works, and called this “thing” blockchain innovation.
Blockchain is to Bitcoin what the Internet is to email, a system on top of which you Can build programs and applications.

A currency like Bitcoin is just among the alternatives.
So this got individuals really excited and they started to explore.
What else can we decentralize.

In order for a system to be truly decentralized? It requires a large network of computers to run it.
The only network that existed was Bitcoin and it was pretty restricted.

Bitcoin is written in what is referred to as a “turing insufficient” language, which makes it comprehend just a little set of orders like who sent how much money to whom.

If you want to create a more complicated system, you’ll need a different programs language, which indicates a different network of computers.
Imagine for a 2nd.

You wanted to develop your own decentralized program, much like Bitcoin in your home.
You ‘D need to comprehend how Bitcoin’s decentralization works.
Compose code that mimics the same behaviour, get a substantial network of computer systems to run this code and so on … And that is a great deal of work.
Go into.

Ethereum was very first proposed in late 2013 and after that brought to life in 2014 by Vitalik Buterin, who at the time was the co-founder of Bitcoin Magazine.
Ethereum is the Do It Yourself platform for decentralized programs, likewise referred to as Dapps decentralized apps.
If you wish to develop a decentralized program that no bachelor controls, not even you, although you wrote it all you have to do, is find out the Ethereum shows language called Solidity and start coding.

The Ethereum platform has countless independent computers running it, suggesting it’s completely decentralized.

When a program is deployed to the Ethereum network, these computer systems, likewise known as nodes, will ensure it executes as composed.
Ethereum is the infrastructure for running Dapps worldwide.

It’s, not a currency, it’s, a platform.
, The currency utilized to incentivize the network is called Ether, however more On that, later.
Ethereum’s goal is to truly decentralize the Internet.

The internet is centralized.
I thought the Internet already was decentralized which anyone can start their own site.

, While in theory that might be true in practice: Amazon, Google, Facebook, Netflix and other giants control.
Most of the internet, as we understand, it.
There’s, practically no activity on the web, that occurs without some sort of 3rd or intermediary celebration.

, But once the principle of digital decentralization was demonstrated by Bitcoin an entire new range of opportunities became available.
We can finally start to think of and develop an Internet that connects users straight without the requirement for a central 3rd party.
Individuals can “rent” hard disk drive area directly to other people and make Dropbox outdated.

Motorists can offer their services directly to travelers and get rid of “Uber” as the Middleman.
Individuals can buy cryptocurrencies directly from one another without the requirement for an exchange that can get hacked or steal.
Your cash. How Much Is The Fee For Ethereum

Ethereum enables individuals to link directly with each other without a main authority to look after things.
It’s, a network of computer systems that together integrate into one powerful, decentralized, supercomputer.
Ok, So now you understand what Ethereum does, but we haven’t discussed HOW it does it.

Ethereum’s coding, language Solidity is utilized to write “Smart Contracts”.
That are the reasoning that runs Dapps.
Let me explain:.

In reality, all a contract is is a sets of “Ifs” and “Thens”.
Indicating a set of conditions and actions.

If I pay my property owner $ 1500 on the 1st of the month, then he lets me use my home.

That’s precisely how clever contracts work on Ethereum.
Ethereum developers compose the conditions for their program or Dapp, and after that the ethereum network executes it.

They are called wise contracts due to the fact that they handle all of the elements of the agreement enforcement management, efficiency and payment.

For example, if I have a clever agreement that is utilized for paying rent, the landlord doesn’t require to actively collect the money.
The contract itself, “knows”.
If the money has actually been sent out.

I will be able to open my apartment or condo door if I undoubtedly sent the cash.
If I missed my payment, I will be locked out.
However, wise agreements also have their downsides.

Going back to my previous example.
Rather of having to toss out an occupant that isn’t paying a “smart” contract would lock the non-paying occupant out of their apartment.

A really smart agreement, on the other hand, would take into account other factors too, such as extenuating circumstances, the spirit with which the agreement was composed, and it would likewise have the ability to make exceptions if required.

Simply put, it would imitate an actually great judge.
Instead, a “wise contract” in the context of Ethereum is not smart at all.
It’s, really uncompromisingly letter stringent.

It follows the rules down to a T and can’t take any secondary considerations or the “spirit” of the law into account like what commonly occurs with real world agreements.
When a wise contract is released on the Ethereum network, it can not be edited or corrected even by its initial.

It’s immutable.

The only way to change this agreement would be to persuade the whole Ethereum network that a modification must be made and that’s essentially difficult.
This develops a very major problem because, unlike Bitcoin Ethereum was developed with the capability to create truly complex agreements and intricate contracts are very difficult to secure.

With any contract the more complicated it is, the more difficult it is to impose as more space is left for interpretations Or more provisions must be composed to deal with contingencies.
With clever contracts.
Security suggests handling with perfect accuracy every possible way in which a contract could be executed in order to ensure that the contract does just what the author meant.

Ethereum released with the concept that “code is law”.
That is an agreement on Ethereum, is the ultimate authority And nobody might overthrow the agreement.
Well that all came to a crashing stop when the DAO event, happened.

“Dow” or DAO, means “Decentralized Autonomous Organization”, which enabled users to transfer cash and get returns based upon the investments that the DAO made.
The choices themselves would be.
Crowd-Sourced and decentralized.

The DAO raised $ 150M in Ethereum currency ether, when ether was trading around $ 20.
While this all sounded very good, the code wasn’t secured very well and led to someone finding out a method to drain the DAO out of money.
Now you might state that the individual who drained pipes the DAO was a “hacker”.

However some would argue that this was just somebody who was taking advantage of the loopholes he discovered in the DAO’s smart contract.
This isn’t extremely various than an imaginative attorney, figuring out a loophole in the current law to effect a positive result for his customer.

What took place next is that the Ethereum neighborhood decided that code no longer is law and altered the Ethereum guidelines in order to go back all the money that went into the DAO.

To put it simply, the agreement, investors and authors did something foolish and the Ethereum designers chose to bail them out.
The small minority that didn’t agree with this move stuck to the initial Ethereum Blockchain before its procedure was modified which’s how Ethereum Classic was born, which is Actually, the original Ethereum.
We’ve covered a lot up previously, and the last thing I wish to speak about is Ethereum as a currency.

We’ve currently developed, that Ethereum is generally a large bunch of computers working together like one very computer, to carry out code that powers Dapps.
Nevertheless, this costs money Money to get the machines to power them up, save them and cool them.
, if needed.

That’s why Ether was developed.
They in fact are referring to Ether the currency that incentivizes people to run the Ethereum procedure when people talk about the price of Ethereum.
On their computer.

This is very similar to the method Bitcoin miners make money for preserving the Bitcoin blockchain.

In order to release a wise contract to the Ethereum platform, its author should pay to do so.
That payment is made in the kind of ether.

This is done so that people will compose enhanced and efficient code and won’t lose.
The Ethereum network calculating power on unneeded tasks.
Ether was first dispersed in Ethereum’s initial Initial Coin, Offering back in 2014.

Back then it cost around 40 cents to purchase one Ether.
Today, one Ether is valued in numerous dollars, given that using the Ethereum network has actually grown immensely due to the ICO hype that began in 2017.

Still Confused Don’t worry, we’ll get more into Ether and mining in a later on.

Ethereum’s network and Ether are an entire new bunny hole that we’ll cover, however I believe this will provide for now as an intro to Ethereum.
This concludes today’s episode of Ethereum Whiteboard Tuesday.
Hopefully, by now you have a much better understanding of what Ethereum is A network of computers working together to change the central design of programs and business which run the Internet today. How Much Is The Fee For Ethereum

Zach Williams Impressed With New D-line Coach Jermial Ashley

Pig Trail Nation

FAYETTEVILLE — Count junior defensive end Zach Williams among those impressed with new defensive line coach Jermial Ashley.

Williams played in nine games last season as a true sophomore. He finished with 22 tackles, incluing nine solo, 1.5 for loss, a sack and one quarterback hurry. Following Tuesday’s practic Williams did a Zoom conference with reporters. He talked about his strides at defensive end this spring.

“I think I made my biggest gains at pass rushing,” Williams said. “I’m starting to use my hands a lot more. I remember last year most of the time I was just bull rush. Now I’m actually starting to use my hands. I feel like I need to get a little bit better at that, but I’ve gotten a lot better since last year.”

Williams who was at 240 pounds said now he’s up to 264 and still maintains the same quickness. He feels Ashley has helped him tremendously with his technique.

“Coach Ashley is a lot different than our last coach,” Williams said. “He’s a lot more firey, lot more young. You can relate to him. He just teaches you different setups and moves that you can do. He just shows you how to actually base your hands when you’re striking full speed and things like that. A lot of the stuff I’ve learned is from Coach Ashley.”

Williams said it’s not just him that has improved with technique on the defensive line.

“I feel like we’ve all gotten better with our hands,” Williams said. “Last year when we do sort of hand drills with O-linemen and try to figure out where to place them, but this time we’re emphasizing it. Every time we strike hand this, hand that, hand place, focus about hand.”

Williams said that Ashley is making them all compete for playing time and earn the first-team reps.

“That’s what we’re doing different this year,” Williams said. “Coach Ashley likes to rotate us like every two pratices. He has been seeing everybody and how they do with the first team. And you know it’s a healthy competition because your spot is never secured. So I think with him doing that everybody is pushing themselves more because everybody wants to start, everybody wants to play. So we’ve been doing better and I think that’s a good benefit.”

One emphasis of Sam Pittman prior to spring was improve the pass rush. Even in a three-man front, Williams said he expects the improvement will be tremendous.

“It has really picked up,” Williams said. “Last year we just mainly in the three-downs(linemen). We’re starting to learn you can actually rush the quarterback in three-downs we’re just trying different pass rushing techniques. We’ve been trying the same things with the three downs we did the four and that didn’t really work. But Coach Ashley really showed us the difference in the things we can do in the three downs. I feel like we’re going to be a whole lot better rushing in the three downs this year.”

Williams was a highly recruited defensive end from Joe T. Robinson who is putting together an outstanding career at Arkansas. Williams’ father, Rickey, was an outstanding linebacker for the Hogs from 1984-87.

Oil prices fell on Monday as Saudi Arabia made the deepest monthly price cuts for supply to Asia in five months and uncertainty over China’s oil demand cloud oil markets’ recovery.

Brent crude LCOc1 was at $42.04 a barrel, down 62 cents or 1.4% by 0859 GMT, after earlier sliding to $41.51, the lowest since July 30.

U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude CLc1 skidded 63 cents, or 1.6%, to $39.14 a barrel after earlier dropping to $38.55, the lowest since July 10.

The world’s top oil exporter Saudi Arabia cut the October official selling price for Arab Light crude it sells to Asia by the most since May, indicating demand remains weak. Asia is Saudi Arabia’s largest market by region.

“The mood has turned somewhat pessimistic in the second half of last week and the immediate risk is skewed to the downside,” said oil broker PVM’s Tamas Varga.

China, the world’s biggest oil importer which has been supporting prices with record purchases, slowed its intake in August and increased its products exports, according to customs data on Monday.

“There are so many uncertainties with regard to the Chinese economy and their relationship with key industrialized countries, with the U.S. and these days, even Europe,” Keisuke Sadamori, director for energy markets and security at the International Energy Agency, told Reuters.

“It’s not such an optimistic situation – that casts some shadow over the growth outlook.”

The Labour Day holiday on Monday marks the traditional end of the peak summer demand season in the United States and that renewed investors’ focus on the current lacklustre fuel demand in the world’s biggest oil user.

Oil is also under pressure as U.S. companies increased their drilling for new supply after the recent recovery in oil prices.

U.S. energy firms last week added oil and natural gas rigs for the second time in the past three weeks, according to a weekly report by Baker Hughes Co (BKR.N) on Friday.

However, hopes for potential COVID-19 vaccines lend support to prices after Australian officials said they expected to receive their first batches of the vaccines in January, and said the vaccines could offer “multi-year protection”.
