Chrissy Teigen's Dog Puddy Died & Her Message On Instagram Is So Heartbreaking

I'm warning y'all now: If you don't want to cry, don't read this post because Chrissy Teigen's dog Puddy died and I am an emotional wreck. Teigen announced the death of her pupper on Instagram and Twitter on Wednesday, March 7, and I'm literally sobbing all over my laptop. "Not the dog! Anything but the dog!" I keep saying to myself as I ugly cry. Teigen posted a bunch of photos of Puddy on social media to honor her and Legend's first dog together. She said in one of the heartbreaking posts that Puddy was there for them through all of the ups and downs of their lives over the last 10 years.

We've all seen Teigen's adorable Snapchats of Puddy, Pippa, and Pablo, their three dogs, and it's so sad to learn about poor Puddy. Teigen didn't reveal how Puddy died, but all of her posts dedicated to the pup are still so heartbreaking. One of her tear-jerker Instagram posts read,

Today our baby, Puddy, has gone on to the pup heavens. John and I got Puddy in our first year of dating, when I convinced him half-birthday presents were a real thing. 10 years ago, on May 30th, I found the dog that would be there for us through every up, down, new house, new city, new tour, new travel. He welcomed new pups and loved on new babies and new bellies. He was there for everything. Every time I needed a taste tester, someone to kiss or needed to sob into his stinky rolls, he was there. It’s true what they say. We are their entire lives and it is the greatest shame that they can only bless us with a short spark of time in ours. I always knew I would lose a piece of me when he left us. I feel the hole now. I will love you forever, my boy. My heart aches. Thank you so much for everything, everything.

RIP, Puddy.

She also posted a set of videos and photos of Puddy loving on baby Luna not long after she was born.

Teigen captioned the sweet post, "I love you. I will miss you every day." And even through all of this, it just wouldn't be Chrissy Teigen if she didn't find something to make people laugh about.

She posted photos of Puddy and Pippa together dressed as a bride and groom, saying they were married for real.

The caption read, "Not many people know this but puddy is survived by his wife, Pippa. yes, they were married." Classic Chrissy Teigen.

The photos are from the parody "All Of Me" music video John Legend made back in April of 2015 in which Legend marries his dogs to each other.

Omaze on YouTube

So not only was Puddy a loving dog, but also a loving husband!! I'M UGLY CRYING ONTO MY LAPTOP, GUYS. This is too freaking much for me. I also freaking love seeing dogs in clothes, so this making me emotional times a billion.

Teigen also revealed the inspiration behind Puddy's name on Twitter, and of course it's hilarious.

She tweeted an adorable photo of Puddy sitting in a wagon in her house and said, "Puddy was named after david puddy, from seinfeld, as they both shared a love of sitting and staring at nothing." How funny, I also have a love of sitting and staring at nothing. I feel like me and Puddy really would've connected.

When Teigen and Legend welcomed Pablo into their home back in October, Teigen posted the cutest photo of Pablo and Puddy together.

There's also this cute AF video of Puddy and Pippa trying to decide if they like Pablo or not.

Puddy was clearly a big part of their family. RIP, little buddy.

Colin Hanks Is Dexter's Next Bad Guy

Photo: Getty Images

The role of the bad guy on Dexter`s shaped up to be one of the most coveted, interesting jobs on TV. Each season, Dexter encounters someone even more screwed up than he—guys like Jimmy Smits and John Lithgow, the latter of whom was so terrifying we recoil at his face to this day (plus, he won an Emmy).

But this season it looks like the sweet looking Colin Hanks has landed the juicy gig. Though producers said the show's 6th season would feature a broader cast of characters without focusing on just one villain, sources tell TV Linehe's signed on for a huge arc.

Hanks, who's recently starred in The Good Guys and Mad Men, just happens to be in a serial killer themed movie this year, too. Though Lucky, which comes out later this year, sounds quite different from the Showtime drama given Hanks' co-stars, including Jeffrey Tambor and Ann-Margaret.

Do you think he'll make a capable, creepy villain?

Cerec same day crowns (in most cases)

Initial Oral Examination
Your initial oral examination includes a visual examination, charting, periodontal probing, diagnosis and treatment recommendations. We may also take x-rays, which aid in the detection of decay in the teeth or problems in the surrounding bone and gum tissue

Implants are synthetic structures that are placed in the area of the tooth normally occupied by the root. Implants are anchored to the jawbone or metal framework on the bone and act as a foundation for an artificial tooth or permanent bridge. In some cases, implants can be used to attach dentures. Read More...

Veneers are thin pieces of porcelain or plastic cemented over the front of your teeth to change their color or shape. Veneers are used on teeth with uneven surfaces or are chipped, discolored, oddly shaped, unevenly spaced or crooked. Read More...

Crowns and Bridges
Crowns are synthetic caps, usually made of a material like porcelain, placed on the top of a tooth. Crowns are typically used to restore a tooth's function and appearance following a restorative procedure such as a root canal. When decay in a tooth has become so advanced that large portions of the tooth must be removed, crowns are often used to restore the tooth. Read More...

Teeth Whitening
Whitening procedures have effectively restored the smile of people with stained, dull, or discolored teeth.The darker tissue of your teeth, the dentin, can become exposed as the outer layer of enamel is worn away by the effects of aging or things like caffeine and tobacco. Read More...

Root Canal Therapy
Root canals are tiny passageways that branch off from beneath the top of the tooth, coursing their way vertically downward, until they reach the tip of the root. Read More...

Simple toothaches can often be relieved by rinsing the mouth to clear it of debris and other matter. Sometimes, a toothache can be caused or aggravated by a piece of debris lodged between the tooth and another tooth. Avoid placing an aspirin between your tooth and gum to relieve pain, because the dissolving aspirin can actually harm your gum tissue. Read More...

How much of a difference did the Titanic sinking really make to maritime safety?

Discussion in 'Safety Regulations Issues Post1912' started by Rob Lawes, Jan 3, 2019.

  1. Rob Lawes

    Rob Lawes Member

    The thread title is something I've been pondering on for a while now.

    We know what the outcomes of the initial inquiries were and the responses by White Star and the wider industry. Looking at the impact of these going forward, I think it's easy to argue that very few of the recommendations have had a significant impact on maritime safety.

    The most obvious one that did was 24 hour radio coverage by all ships at sea. At least distress calls wouldn't be missed. With the advent of modern telecommunications this system has become even more reliable.

    On the other hand, if we look at the lifeboats and space for all onboard, how many subsequent sinkings have had the time or list free ability to launch all of the available boats? None spring to mind. Various examples where this was impossible are available. The Estonia and Herald of Free Enterprise rolled over in minutes. The Andrea Dora, Costa Concordia and Oceanos listed so badly that only half their boats could be launched. Yarmouth Castle remained on an even keel but fire prevented passengers from accessing many of the boats.

    In terms of practices and procedures at sea, a lot of these were already in place although there use was being implemented sluggishly. I suppose the Titanic sinking hastened the abandonment of the old style rudder orders and the standardisation of communication and distress signalling but again, this had already been agreed by international conferences before the disaster.

    Finally, in terms of ship construction, ships would for many years after still become death traps in a fire or have fewer compartments open to the sea than Titanic and still sink. The fact remains, if enough water gets into a ship, no matter how high the bulkheads or the thickness of the double hill, she'll still end up on the bottom.

    Overall, I think it's easy to argue that apart from the huge outrage at the time and the "seen to do something" response, the impact on maritime safety made by the Titanic disaster was arguably negligible.

    Thoughts ??

    There is an interesting incident where a subsequent marine disaster was worsened because of safety requirements adopted in the wake of the loss of Titanic.

    In 1915, SS Eastland was loading passengers in the Chicago River, and capsized, killing more passengers than died aboard Titanic. After Titanic, Eastland had been required to add many more lifeboats, which caused the ship to become more unstable due to the reduction in metacentric height (and Eastland was rather tender, even before adding additional lifeboats). For more information, Google "SS Eastland disaster",

    I believe there were a number of positive changes that were made as a result of the disaster which may or may not have been a mandatory change, but were obeyed for the sake of safety. I believe shipping routes may have been moved further south by orders, or by the captain of each ships own discretion, and more rigorous ice patrols were created as a result of the Titanic disaster. Ships fitted with wireless would also operate longer hours and possibly the confusion of distress rockets and signal rockets were made more clearer. I wonder how often the Titanic was mentioned to all of the new recruits.

    I agree the addition of lifeboats was more of a cautionary measure, and sadly there were no guarantees that more lives could be saved with more lifeboats. e.g. Here are a number of wartime disasters from 1915 - 1916. More lifeboats had little or no effect in the loss of life.

    I wonder if the Titanic had more lifeboats, would the added weight cause her to roll over to port and sink more rapidly. Lightoller believed the movement of the passengers created a "righting movement" and the crew heard Captain Smith order the passengers to the starboard side "to straighten her up" and keep her balanced in the water. The additional weight of extra lifeboats on the port side might have rolled her over completely. Keeping the ship upright long enough to lower all available lifeboats was a difficult task. It was incredible how steady the Titanic settled down.

Supervision Involves Trust
Submitted by Barbara Lightheart, Travis County Jail , Texas, USA

Supervision involves trust. About a quarter of the 380 volunteers here are Twelve-Step volunteers, who lead AA, Narcotics Anonymous and Cocaine Anonymous meetings to supplement our in-house drug and alcohol treatment program. We know these Twelve-Step programs are vitally important to our inmates so we do what to some volunteer coordinators and direct supervisors may seem very unorthodox: we let these volunteers replenish their own numbers by recruiting others. I do not recruit, interview or screen them because we understand the anonymous nature of their work and we trust these volunteers to do their work effectively and successfully. They do.

Sony's UHP-H1 Blu-ray player also does multi-room audio (updated)

There's also a second player that can stream games from PlayStation Now.
Billy Steele
01.05.16 in AV

Going into CES, we knew we'd see a number of Ultra HD Blu-ray players. It's no surprise Sony has one of its own: the UHP-H1. Oddly enough the UHP-H1 is not a 4K Blu-ray player -- its main attraction is its focus on audio. The player can be configured to play multi-room audio through Sony's SongPal app or bump songs stored on a USB drive. Its Bluetooth features also makes for easy pairing with speakers or headphones.

Gallery: Sony UHP-H1 and BDP-S6700 | 7 Photos

Other new options include the BDP-S6700, which also packs in Bluetooth and can be arranged in a multi-room speaker setup. What's more, this player can be used to stream video games from PlayStation Now and can accommodate two DualShock 4 controllers. Both the UHP-H1 and BDP-S6700 have tech that upscales high-definition content to 4K resolution for "enhanced viewing." You know, for all of those Blu-ray discs that you already have in your library. No word on pricing for either of these right now, but Sony says they'll be available this spring which lines up nicely with the scheduled arrival of the new Blu-rays themselves.

Correction: this post originally claimed that the UHP-H1 could play high-resolution, 4K Blu-rays, but it turns out that's not accurate. It can only play standard, existing 1080p Blu-ray discs. We apologize for the error.

The consequences of the Trump presidency on cybersecurity

A situation now revealed in all its hideousness, brought to us by a 400-lb hacker in bed.
Getty Images/iStockphoto

Hacking and cybersecurity played a huge role in the presidential election. So much so that Donald Trump, America's new president-elect, was helped greatly by the acts of criminal hackers in his journey to the White House, and is now an outspoken WikiLeaks fan.

Though, unless he appoints Julian Assange as his Cybersecurity Czar, I doubt we'll be seeing WikiLeaks coming to Trump's rescue when he needs help with cyber-policy in the near future. But you never know.

And that's where this insane ride, where any consideration of the human beings who will experience the consequences of their combined machinations is absent, is going: Mr. Trump is now going to be in control of America's cybersecurity and cyber-warfare policies and plans. He has promised that what he called "the cyber" in his last debate will immediately become a priority, citing threats in the form of China and North Korea.

Mr. Trump openly advocates hacking back, a controversial and ill-advised strategy. He said in 2015, "America should counter attack and make public every action taken by China to steal or disrupt our operations, whether they be private or governmental."

More recently he told press in October, "The United States must possess unquestioned capacity to launch crippling counter-cyberattacks. This is the warfare of the future... America's dominance in this arena must be unquestioned and today, it's totally questioned."

These are the words of someone totally clueless about cyberwarfare, they are from someone who telegraphs every move, and disturbingly, these are words of war.

As you may remember (or might be repressing, like trauma), Mr. Trump foreshadowed his targeting of China for cyber infractions in his last debate with Hillary Clinton. When Ms. Clinton said that Russia was behind recent hacks against the United States, especially the DNC hacks that helped Trump win the election, he went on the defensive for Russia.

"I don't think that anybody knows it was Russia that broke into the DNC," he said. Trump unforgettably elaborated saying "It could also be China or it could also be lots of other people -- it also could be somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds."

It actually took until October for Trump to realize that cybersecurity was a priority, at which point he published his vision for cybersecurity policy on his website. It was actually excerpts from a campaign speech he gave, so let's not get too excited that we might have anything concrete to work with. But it gives us an idea of who he plans to make handle these issues for him -- and of course promises to develop and deploy cyber weapons.

It states: "Develop the offensive cyber capabilities we need to deter attacks by both state and non-state actors and, if necessary, to respond appropriately."

Trump's cyber "vision," as outlined on his website, shows that he intends to hand most of the work off to others. His first "vision" plan is to have a review done by a team of his choosing, the likes of which sound vague, uninformed, and somewhat impossible if interpreted literally. He wants to "Order an immediate review of all U.S. cyber defenses and vulnerabilities, including critical infrastructure, by a Cyber Review Team of individuals from the military, law enforcement, and the private sector."

The next step in Trump's cyber plan is specifically for the U.S. Department of Justice "to create Joint Task Forces throughout the U.S. to coordinate Federal, State, and local law enforcement responses to cyber threats." That will fall to the new attorney general, who in all likelihood will be Rudolph W. Giuliani.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani has a lot on the record to let us know where he stands on "the cyber." Giuliani has been interested in cybersecurity since he read an FBI report in 2003 predicting a hacking crimewave, and instantly decided he needed to build a business around it. That business was Giuliani Partners, a security consulting company whose pentesting arm was specifically comprised of ex-government and ex-military employees he said because even reformed hackers can't be trusted.

After Giuliani Partners, he became the global chair of law firm Greenberg Traurig's cybersecurity and crisis management practice in January 2016. Shortly after joining Greenberg Traurig, he did a press junket comparing hackers to Mafia and cybersecurity to cancer.

And that's something the two men have in common: Giuliani and Trump hate hackers -- unless hackers are doing the dirty work in their favor, of course. In regard to Edward Snowden, Trump has been clear that he believes the former government contractor should be executed. Maybe once he's president, Trump will get his wish in the form of a congratulations gift from his BFF, Putin.

As we know, everything with Trump has to do with his likes and dislikes. And he likes surveillance, as evidenced in his personal phone-spying practices, and he likes the NSA's spying. In fact, Trump is an outspoken supporter of government surveillance, and in his words, the NSA "should be given as much leeway as possible."

He told The Daily Signal, "I support legislation which allows the NSA to hold the bulk metadata. For oversight, I propose that a court, which is available any time on any day, is created to issue individual rulings on when this metadata can be accessed."

Mr. Trump didn't like Apple refusing to unlock the San Bernardino shooter's iPhone for the FBI this past year, and his reaction to the case is instructive. When it was brought to his attention, Trump said Apple should be forced to allow the FBI access to the phone's contents. "I think it's disgraceful that Apple is not helping on that. I think security first, and I feel -- I always felt security first," he said. "Apple should absolutely -- we should force them to do it," he said.

There's another very serious way in which Mr. Trump will impact the worlds of hacking any cybersecurity that few are thinking about at this very weird moment in time. Trump's intents and desired policy changes with immigration and jobs will actually take all the problems we have with domestic cybersecurity in this country and crank them up to eleven. It's not advanced math: We have a epic cybersecurity hiring crisis, and much of our talent pipeline relies on foreigners holding jobs here, or emigrating to the United States.

These problems start in Trump's plan for his first 100 days in office called "Donald Trump's Contract With The American Voter," released at the end of October.

That plan has three primary intents. These are: to enact Trump's "naughty or nice" list in Washington; do what he feels is necessary to protect American workers; and to restore rule of law. This is all in addition to all the other lovely things he plans, like repealing the Affordable Care Act -- something that will also negatively impact infosec, specifically independent hacking and security contractors.

Hiring is cyber's biggest pain point. There is a severe shortage of information security professionals, in both government and public sector companies, and leading industry experts say it's only getting worse. For an area whose growth is incomprehensibly fast to outsiders, its escalating hiring crisis seems counterintuitive -- though when you start to see the numbers, calling it a crisis is an understatement. James Gosler a veteran cybersecurity specialist who has worked at the CIA, the National Security Agency and the Energy Department, has argued that the United States government itself "needs some 30,000 technical cybersecurity workers, essentially hackers."

Mr. Gosler can't be thrilled to hear that Mr. Trump's Contract plans to enforce "a hiring freeze on all federal employees to reduce federal workforce through attrition (exempting military, public safety, and public health."

Meanwhile, the International Information Systems Security Certification Consortium has calculated that over 300,000 cyber-security professionals are needed to maintain and manage business structures.

Many believe that a big part of the domestic problem are the bureaucratic roadblocks to hiring talent outside borders, because the need within the US is so large, it simply can't be filled by domestic talent. Unfortunately for that urgent need, Mr. Trump's first "Contract With America" point is to "renegotiate NAFTA or withdraw from the deal under Article 2205." The problem is, NAFTA isn't just about manufacturing; it helps facilitate low-friction ways for firms to hire cybersecurity talent.

Companies like Google and and others who've brought in security talent from other countries will want to hurry up and get that Green Card process underway so they can keep those workers. Because according to the Contract he wants to "begin removing the more than 2 million criminal illegal immigrants from the country and cancel visas to foreign countries that won't take them back" and "suspend immigration from terror-prone regions where vetting cannot safely occur."

With the loss of cybersecurity talent pipelines and deportation of foreign hacking talent, the security crisis -- all the breaches, IoT botnet and security issues, our ransomware epidemic, and the medical cybercrisis -- will worsen.

Threat monitoring will weaken in companies and organizations, patches will slide, needed security trainings won't happen due to staffing issues (so phishing will continue its damage), internal security overhauls can't happen without enough workers.

It is the end of an era for many things now, but for cybersecurity, it was supposed to be the beginning.

We had made progress, even if rough, in getting the government to listen to hackers and consumers about security. President Obama understood tech's hiring issues and how they hinge on foreign workers right now. We'd pushed back on things like export controls and the stupid concept of "cyber bombs," and some people were starting to listen.

So it wasn't supposed to turn out this way. The Justice Department wasn't going to be run by a corrupt wacko who thinks hackers are forever evil, and who actually, quite crazily believes he can solve cybersecurity. Nor the White House run by an emotional, vengeful child who thinks cyberwar -- a war with real consequences, which would cost lives -- as his first and best option.

It's clear that the new White House will exist in a self-fulfilling bubble, where it believes cyber is just another thing a couple of selfish, egotistical, bigoted men can manipulate for its own ends.

Men who embrace unbridled surveillance of innocent citizens and remove healthcare from those who need it most because their ways of relating to ordinary human beings have been severed in a way that facilitate a blatant disregard for the sanctity of other people's lives.

Cybersecurity, our own experiences of it, and those most at risk, will suffer as a result of this election. Because what's most foretelling of individual suffering, ultimately, is not the surveillance, the lying, or the messing with our heads, but the indifference of those in control.

Unpaved roadbeds are typically composed of a combination of gravel, sand, aggregate stone, local soil, and other small particles. Throughout the course of a year, weather and seasonal changes can gradually start to affect the relationship between these various components.

Rainfall, dry conditions, the changes of seasons, and the freeze-thaw effect can cause an unpaved roadbed to develop potholes, ruts, heaves, and significant washboarding. Not only can these defects in the roadbed be frustrating for a motorist, it can also cause safety problems, increased maintenance costs, and potential damage to vehicles.

Some operations and municipalities will turn to grading to effectively alter a roadbed that has been compromised. This essentially alters the loose association between the aggregate components to create a temporarily smooth surface.

Unfortunately, this also includes an excessive amount of cost in man hours and fuel. With time and further weather changes, the graded roadbed will gradually deteriorate. In time, it might also require the expensive addition of gravels and new aggregate.

To answer these problems and reduce grading costs EnviRoad® offers Earthbind® Stabilizer. This is a versatile bituminous modified biopolymer and soil stabilization agent. It was developed to meet the salient demand for a high quality and cost-effective soil stabilizer and dust palliative.

It can be safely stored in its concentrated form. When needed it can be diluted to the appropriate ration and easily applied to an unpaved roadbed. Earthbind® Stabilizer has been formulated to create an effective matrix between aggregate materials, soil, and fine particles to bind them together. This provides the unpaved roadbed with increased density and stability.

This helps to save costs by reducing the annual need for grading, replacement gravels, and other maintenance measures. If you need help reducing maintenance cost for unpaved roads, you should call 1.800.536.2650 to speak to an EnviRoad® representative about Earthbind® Stabilizer.

Equinix and NetApp Enable Security and Scale for Flexible Cloud Compute Environments

REDWOOD CITY, Calif. — March 27, 2013 — Equinix, Inc. (Nasdaq: EQIX), the global interconnection and data center company, today announced availability of NetApp Private Storage for AWS in Equinix International Business Exchange (IBX ®) data centers where AWS Direct Connect is deployed including the United States and Asia. The new solution enables organizations to leverage on-demand cloud compute services while retaining full control of their data; data remains secure on a private NetApp storage array.

NetApp Private Storage for AWS allows organizations to balance private and public cloud resources to best meet their business needs. This enables companies to maintain control of their data, comply with the most stringent privacy and security standards, and deliver sub-5ms performance.

Highlights/Key Facts

  • Customers with heavy storage and compute needs can now combine NetApp Private Storage with AWS Direct Connect, to gain all the cost and agility benefits of public cloud while meeting rigorous compliance and security standards, retaining control over data, and maintaining high-levels of application performance.
  • When located within an Equinix IBX data center, NetApp Private Storage for AWS enables sub-5ms response times on data traveling between the hosted NetApp array and AWS. Other data center providers claiming a “direct connection” to public cloud services use long-haul circuits for the connection, which introduces additional latency and impairs performance.
  • Companies can use NetApp Private Storage for AWS for a wide range of applications, such as disaster recovery, development and test, burst, tiered data back-up and recovery, big data analytics, and more.
  • NetApp Private Storage for AWS has been deployed and tested in Equinix data centers located in Silicon Valley and Ashburn, VA. Demo platforms will be made available for testing and validation by Equinix customers in Singapore, Silicon Valley, and Ashburn IBXs.

  • Jon Mellon, vice president and general manager, Americas Telco/Service Providers, NetApp:
    “Our partnership with Equinix puts NetApp in the perfect position to give businesses control over a highly flexible mix of on-premise and cloud resources. We believe this offering is truly a unique opportunity for enterprises to increase agility and reduce cost by using hybrid resources to optimize business outcomes.”
  • Melanie Posey, research vice president, Hosting and Managed Network Services, IDC:
    “NetApp Private Storage for AWS offers enterprises a ‘toe in the water’ approach to public cloud — leveraging its scalability and elasticity with the added benefit of maintaining control of and easy access to private storage. Secure private filers may also help mitigate barriers to enterprise cloud services adoption, particularly for organizations concerned about securing corporate data in the cloud. For companies concerned about cloud performance issues, this offering facilitates high security and low latency through the ability to physically connect enterprise infrastructure to public clouds in a secure data center environment, thus avoiding the potential threats of public Internet connectivity.”
  • Greg Adgate, general manager global alliances and partnerships, Equinix:
    “Equinix’s robust cloud ecosystem makes Platform Equinix an ideal place to combine NetApp Private Storage with AWS Direct Connect. By taking down the barriers of cloud service adoption, we believe the solution will help both cloud consumers and cloud service providers accelerate business and maximize revenue streams.”

S.W.A.P. - Summer 2007

3:30 PM

I've decided to participate in my very first S.W.A.P. (sewing with a plan), hosted by Pattern Review.com.

Sew a wardrobe.

The object is to make items that can be interchanged with each other. Once this is complete, you will be able to quickly grab something to wear from your closet. Reach in and grab a top, a bottom, and a jacket and you know they go without even looking! You know how you go into a department store (especially in the Bridge line areas) and see all of the collection pieces together, how they tell a story? Well, this is what S.W.A.P. pieces should look like.

11 garments
13 weeks (May 1st - July 31st)

6 tops
4 bottoms
1 jacket

All tops must work with all bottoms so you won’t have to look when you get dressed. Jacket must work with all outfits.

Dresses: Since they are so popular this year, there are options if you want dresses in your S.W.A.P.:

Dress option #1:
5 tops, 4 bottoms, 1 dress, 1 jacket

Dress option #2:
5 tops, 3 bottoms, 2 dresses, 1 jacket

Dress option #3:
4 tops, 3 bottoms, 3 dresses, 1 jacket

For the next day or so, I'm going to think about what pieces, colors and fabric I'll be working with. I know I'm definitely going for one of the dress options. When I decide on the patterns, I'll post updates.

Armory Weapons Could Flood Black Market 29.10.2015

The recent decision by the Contact Group for Piracy off the Coast of Somalia to reduce the size of the Indian Ocean High Risk Area could lead to a flood of weapons on to the black market as more private maritime security companies (PMSCs) go bust.

It has been common practice for private maritime security companies to rent from or store weapons on board floating armories operating in international waters, but as security firms close in coming months their weapons could remain unaccounted for.

ESC Global Security Chief Operating Officer Madis Madalik warns: “The geographical reduction to the Indian Ocean HRA from December 1 is good news for shipping, but my main concern is what will happen to the arsenal of very sophisticated weapons that bankrupt PMSCs have stored in floating armories.”

“The past four years has seen the number of licensed PMSCs more than halve, as companies reel from a reduced requirement for security aboard vessels transiting the Gulf of Aden, and more are expected to go under,” said Madalik.

The International Maritime Bureau reported in July that in the first six months of 2015 no vessels had been attacked in the Gulf of Aden or Red Sea.

“If the floating armories go out of business or if their clients are unable to pay to get their weapons back for decommissioning or proper disposal, then what will these armorers do with them: throw them overboard, sell them? This is a major concern,” Madalik said.

“The lack of regulation here has the potential to irrevocably damage the reputation and credibility of the entire PMSC industry.”

The maritime storage of weapons is currently unregulated and while it is difficult to know exactly the number of floating armories in operation or the security risks they pose, a number of the vessels used in this opaque sector of the industry could be will be flagged with registers that are blacklisted or, indeed, unlisted.

“There is certainly no register of vessels or barges operating as armories and no inventories of the weapons they store,” said Madalik, who estimated that about 15,000 weapons and four million rounds of ammunition could be stored in Indian Ocean armories alone. The weapons stored are typically small arms and semi-automatic, long-range rifles.

“This is a serious issue and one that is being addressed at an international level,” said Peter Cook, Chief Executive Officer of the Security Association for the Maritime Industry (SAMI).

“There are several voluntary standards such as the U.K.’s Open General Trade Control Licence Maritime Anti-Piracy (UK OGTCL MAP), ISO 28000 (Specification for security management systems for supply chain) and ISO 28007 (Ships and marine technology – Guidelines for Private Maritime Security Companies (PMSC) providing privately contracted armed security personnel (PCASP) on board ships)  in place but mechanisms need to be developed to ensure that all floating armory owners adhere to best practice.”

The report Floating Armories: Implications and Risks, commissioned by the Remote Control Project and published in December 2014 found that “none of the vessels currently used as floating armories have been purpose-built as an armory, instead, they are adapted craft. As a result, vessels may not have safe and secure storage for arms and ammunition”.

The report concluded: “Floating armories are likely to continue to be a feature of the modern response to maritime security threats. Whilst such vessels may have originally been deployed to the Indian Ocean, their mobility means that they are easily re-deployable around the globe. An international response is required from the International Maritime Organisation, or another body, with the task of monitoring all floating armories and the companies that operate and use them.”

The first steps to regulate the weapons rental market are being taken with flag states beginning to implement measures to ensure the weapons used are only those owned or licensed by the PMSC hired by the shipowner.

However, while this might help towards preventing the use or rental of “unlawful” weapons, it is likely that the vessel’s master will become responsible for checking license documents against weapon serial numbers prior to security personnel boarding the vessel.

Global conversations to advance ESCR in conflict and post-conflict settings continue

Publish Date:
Friday, August 17, 2018

Over the past year, ESCR-Net members have begun a global discussion about how to advance economic, social and cultural rights (ESCR) in situations of conflict and occupation and in post-conflict transitions. A first round of online discussions was held between December 2017 and January 2018 amongst more than fifteen members from ten countries. The webinars aimed to facilitate mutual learning and deepen a shared analysis about the critical importance of advancing ESCR in conflict and post-conflict situations, identify strategies that members are using and consider opportunities for collective work at the intersection of ESCR and conflict. A second round of webinars held in June and July 2018 amongst eighteen members from ten countries sought to deepen discussion about opportunities for collective work amongst ESCR-Net members to promote the respect and protection of ESCR in conflict and post-conflict situations.

The need to advance ESCR in conflict and post-conflict situations was first expressed at ESCR-Net’s Global Strategy Meeting in 2016 (GSM 2016), primarily by representatives from several members from the Middle East, North Africa. This call to advance collective work on ESCR advocacy in conflict-affected environments was also supported by member representatives from countries in several other regions that have recently been affected by conflict.

In the online discussions, members confirmed the importance of applying an ESCR framework in dealing with conflict situations to ensure sustainable peace and human security, emphasizing that real peace cannot be achieved without true social and economic justice. Examples from Colombia and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) showed how ongoing tensions persist, despite the existence of peace processes, due to failure to fulfil the economic, social and cultural rights of affected communities. In the first round of webinars, members had argued that work in conflict situations should be grounded in human rights principles, including the active participation of affected communities and with a focus on structural and root causes that lead to ongoing violations of ESCR and the breakdown of security.

From the diverse contributions in the second round of webinars, several points of potential collaboration emerged. These included the need to develop a human rights narrative around conflict with a focus on economic, social and cultural rights, and their intersections with conflict. Such a narrative will need to identify the different actors and their roles. It will also aim to empower affected communities and seek sustainable peace. In addition, members saw the need for pushing for accountability around ESCR violations in conflict-affected situations, including resorting to UN human rights mechanisms.

Members also agreed that certain thematic issues were important to focus on when dealing with conflict-affected situations. Thematic issues that emerged in the two rounds of webinars included access to natural resources (including land) and housing, the right to health, women’s ESCR and the role of corporations in conflict settings.  For example, members in Palestine (OPT) have asserted the need to hold corporations accountable for their role in human rights violations during conflict or in conflicted-affected areas. In the OPT, members reported on how corporations benefit from the development of settlements in occupied territories by gaining control over resources owned by the Palestinian people, who are unable to enjoy access as a result of the occupation. Other members attested to the role of corporations in grabbing land and displacing populations in the name of post-conflict development, as is the case in the DRC and Guatemala. Members in Georgia underscored the importance of focusing on the right to health and have explained how women’s access to sexual and reproductive health has been denied due to the conflict. In Yemen, people have been impoverished as a result of the conflict, which have had severe consequences on livelihoods; particularly for girls who have increasingly been forced into early marriages as a result.

Members also agreed that, in order to ensure accountability and remedies for violations of economic and social rights, there is need for good data collection and documentation. The need to share and develop expertise in community-led monitoring of ESCR violations in conflicted affected areas was a prominent theme. The need to bolster protection of human rights defenders working in conflict- and post-conflict settings was another point that emerged in these discussions.

Following these initial conversations with members and discussions with allies involved in the issue, members will proceed to develop actionable proposals for collective work to advance human rights and social justice for communities living in conflict and post-conflict situations around the world.

Where does get those banner images on the website?

That dog with it's head on the carpet is the spitting image of my dog Jess, a new zealand huntaway.

The banner images are all photographs I've taken. The dog is our Doberman, Mei. She has uncropped (natural) tail and ears and a typical rambunctious Doberman personality but she loves her humans and human attention as well. Also socializes well with most other dogs.

It's too damn hot for anyone to work at the dump today. Just sayin'.

Rupert Talks Being First Out on 'Survivor'

Longtime Survivor fans were shocked when seasoned veteran and fan favorite Rupert Boneham was the first sent home from Survivor: Blood vs. Water on Wednesday night. Now, four-time player Rupert opens up to ET about sacrificing his game for his wife, how this season has affected his marriage, and whether he would ever play again.

ETonline: This season is totally different from any other season, so in your case, you were the first to go home but you didn't get any votes cast against you, so does that make you feel a little bit better?

Rupert: You know, knowing that I never walked into Tribal Council, I never got any votes, I never even walked out onto my island, I never got into my tribe, makes me kind of feel like I didn't really play the game.

ETonline: Yeah, in a way it kind of is like that.

Rupert: So much different than my other three times on Survivor.

PICS: Meet the 'Survivor: Blood Vs. Water' Cast

ETonline: Definitely, because you were probably over there on Redemption Island for a few days. What was that like? Was it just kind of you guys [being] bored, just sitting around?

Rupert: Redemption Island, honestly, being with Candice -- she's not my favorite of people. I mean we had a hard time in Heroes Vs. Villains living together, and that was with a whole tribe around us. You put her and I, just us on an island and expect us to get along... A lot of the time, I would wait for her to go to sleep, then I would go out fishing. I would catch me a little lobster or two, catch me some clams, catch me some different stuff, try and get 'em cooked and eaten before the girl wakes up.

ETonline: That's hilarious. Well, it's important to keep your strength up, so…

Rupert: Oh yes, oh gosh yes.

ETonline: I wanted to talk to you about Laura. Last night you said you love Survivor but you love your wife more. Can you talk a little bit about just basically giving Laura the chance to play the game?

Rupert: When they separated us -- because honestly we thought we were going to play together at the start -- they separated us and I start thinking, "Okay, this will still be okay, we'll make it to the merge and we'll still get to play together." And then Jeff says, "We're going to vote someone out right now." And I hear Laura's name the first time, second time, third time, fourth time -- by the fifth time, my heart was crushed. I didn't know exactly what I was going to do. And Jeff gave the option of taking her place without even knowing exactly what I was walking into. There was no way I was going to leave her in any kind of jeopardy -- I took her place. And I would do it again in a second. A million times. I would do it every time.

Season Preview: 'Survivor: Blood vs. Water'

ETonline: Before you guys started playing, did you ever have a conversation where you decided, you know, this is our plan if we ever have to go up against each other?

Rupert: What we talked about was, if when we make it to the merge, and it's more of an individual game, if we're playing against each other, and her tribe starts targeting me, instead of going against your tribe, fall along with your tribe and don't worry about writing my name down. It will be okay. Now, I will always remember her looking at me with the big eyes saying, "There's no way I would ever write your name down," but out on the island, it's hard to explain the situation, the deprivation, the dehydration, the malnutrition, the pain that you go through. And you've got to stay with your tribe. So I always let Laura know that there would be no hard feelings. And I also told her, there's no way I would ever write her name down.

ETonline: So it was okay for her to write your name down, but…

Rupert: I would never, right. (Laughs).

ETonline: And do you think it's possible, as a family member, to go into the game, and really consider it to be just a game? And not take it personally?

Rupert: You know, every one of us Survivors that have gone out there, we'll all admit that it is a game, but every one of us still have personal issues about getting voted out, about being lied to, about being manipulated, you're darn right. And Laura and I talked about it also, before we went out, saying, this scenario could have the potential of destroying relationships, we want to make sure this empowers ours. And I'll tell you what, our relationship is even stronger now that we went through this.

ETonline: That's great. I wanted to ask you also, your wife has been in this situation three times of having to send you out into the wilderness. I can imagine any spouse would not like that idea of thinking of their spouse sleeping outside and not having shelter and not having enough food. What was it like for you when you left and you had to think about her being out there, and you're comfortable and have enough food to eat and all of that?

Watch: Cochran on Winning 'Survivor'

Rupert: You know, before we left for Survivor, even my daughter looked right at both of us and said, "You know the game about killed you three times! Why do you both want to go out there? I don't want my mom hurt, I don't want my dad hurt." But we had to. Now, going out there and being able to play the game and have the idea of loved ones with you, oh my gosh. It's something that I'm gonna remember the rest of my life and it's something I'm so happy that I got the chance to do. Now, I don't know. If Survivor asks if I ever want to play the game again with Laura, I don't know that I would actually trade if I did go out there with her again, but we'll have to see what happens in the future.

ETonline: Did you feel going into it, both of you, that being a married couple and ostensibly sharing finances and all of that, if one of you won, would you consider it to be a win for both of you?

Rupert: As long as that last name of Boneham is on the check? If Laura wins or I win, we both win. Just like when we won the All-American Tribal Council years ago. We both won.

ETonline: And do you think all of the other family members out there, do you think that all of the would feel the same way? Or do you think that there's any of them that will turn on each other towards the end?

Rupert: I know for a fact just from hearing the little bit of talk out there in the little bit of game that I was able to play, there are some that would never trade. I mean, my own tribe got mad at me for trading places with Laura. It will be interesting to see who, when it comes to their loved one, who stands up, and who stays in the game.

ETonline: Yeah that should be interesting when it comes to those challenges, it's definitely going to make the season unpredictable.

Rupert: Having so many different layers of scenarios that could happen in the Tribal Council, just like last night when they put Rachel out, thinking they're going to weaken the other tribe because Tyson's gonna trade places. Who knows if he even trades?

ETonline: I was kind of curious, the first night that they sent you out into the woods on your own, what did you guys do that night, where did you sleep?

Rupert: You know, that was my favorite night of Survivor 27. Laura and I were dropped off in the middle of nowhere on our secluded little beach. We actually for a few minutes tried to rub a few sticks together and create fire but the sun went down too quickly, I couldn't get my reading glasses out and make fire, we just didn't have enough time. So I started picking a bunch of leaves. I knew there are different leaves that are kind of a natural bug repellant. I gathered hundreds and hundreds of those leaves and made us a nice little bed. It was wonderful!

ETonline: Would you come back and play Survivor again?

Rupert: I would play Survivor again in a second! I love that darn game. There are very few tests for your body, mind and soul, and Survivor will test you to your core. Now, there's only one scenario that I can ever think about that would make me walk out of the game, and I don't think we're going to do that one again. Laura, if she comes back out with me -- she's going to be on her own.

Survivor: Blood vs. Water airs Wednesday nights at 8/7c on CBS.

Buttler ton steers England to 5-0 whitewash against Australia

Buttler ton steers England to 5-0 whitewash against Australia
Text size Aa Aa

MANCHESTER, England (Reuters) - Jos Buttler scored a dazzling unbeaten century to guide England to a thrilling one-wicket victory over Australia at Old Trafford on Sunday to seal an unprecedented 5-0 one-day series triumph over their old rivals.

England were in a parlous position at 27 for four, chasing Australia's total of 205 all out, when the gifted, powerful Butler came to the crease and played one a masterful innings.

Yet even though England crumbled further to 114 for eight, the wicketkeeper kept cool as wickets tumbled around him to smash an unbeaten 110 off 122 balls and seal England's first 5-0 whitewash over Australia in any form of men's cricket.

It was a remarkable effort, with the joint next highest English contribution being Adil Rashid's 20 although the number 10's 47-ball effort in a ninth-wicket partnership of 81 was also key to helping the home side get across the line.

When Rashid was out with 11 still needed, last man Jake Ball held up the Australian attack for 10 balls, allowing Buttler, who got his ton with a second six, to guide England home with a handsome driven boundary, his 12th, and nine balls to spare.

"I said to Jake if it's two we'll run, if it's one, we won't. Great guts from him to soak up that pressure and face those balls," said man of the match Buttler, praising his tail-end colleague at the post-match presentation.

"We were determined to come out and try and win 5-0. We bowled fantastically well and didn't quite click with the bat. Games where you pull it out of nowhere are extra enjoyable."

It capped a perfect week for England in which they had also become world record breakers by compiling a 50-over total of 481 at Nottingham on Tuesday.

Buttler had then struck a whirlwind unbeaten half-century to guide them to another victory at Chester-le-Street on Thursday.

The 27-year-old, who also executed a brilliant run-out and stumping on Sunday as Australia succumbed largely to Moeen Ali's four wickets, was also voted player of the series, having compiled 275 runs from the five matches at an average of 137.5.

"I don't think I've ever played better. It's very enjoyable. We're just trying to keep it going," he said.

England captain Eoin Morgan paid tribute to Buttler, saying: "We were very poor today and Jos really did pull something special out to get us over the line. It was outstanding.

"He's in control - he's a very cool, calculated customer with a lot of ability. We got a lot out of that watching from the dressing room."

Does Slovakia's new government stand a chance?

Shaken by the murder of investigative reporter Ján Kuciak, Slovakia will get a new government today, Thursday. Former Prime Minister Robert Fico, who stepped down last week due to pressure from the street, has been replaced by his party colleague Peter Pellegrini. Commentators are not at all sure that the new government will calm the situation.

Open/close all quotes
Lidové noviny (CZ) /

There's nothing more protests can achieve now

The new Slovakian government should now be given a chance, writes Lidové noviny:

“If the opposition and the demonstrators now continue to insist on new elections it would be unfair, and what's more unreasonable. The Pellegrini government will very likely be given a vote of confidence. Snap elections entail the risk of Fico winning again and thus regaining his legitimacy. Other, equally legitimate strategies can serve to calm the situation and renew the people's trust in politics. However, the most promising is to give the government a chance and force it to deal with the remaining skeletons in its cupboard.”

Sme (SK) /

It's about creating a new political culture

Beata Balogová, editor-in-chief of Sme, takes a sceptical view of the situation:

“If anyone in the governing party believes that the flames of the political crisis have been extinguished, they're very mistaken. This party has not even begun its fight to regain the trust of society after the murder of Ján Kuciak and his fiancée. In urging the Slovaks not just to simulate a change, President Andrej Kiska went about as far as he could. The governing party is playing for time and hoping that a large section of society will give up its demand for integrity in politics, as has happened in the past. We can only hope that the country will closely follow all the government's decisions this time round. And also keep an eye on whose interests these decisions serve.”

Kurier (AT) /

Will Orbán be the next to go?

Civil society is far ahead of its government in some countries, Kurier comments:

“Free media and angry citizens left Fico no chance. Civil society in the former communist countries is further ahead than the leaders - from Hungary's Orbán to Poland's Kaczyński - are willing to admit. ... The governments in our neighbouring countries counted on full stomachs and new cars also satisfying the hunger for democracy and freedom. Far from it. The Slovakian Robert Fico is the first person forced to face up to that fact. Hungary's Orbán continues to fight against the liberal constitutional state, also in refusing to talk about corruption in his own country. So far he's been successful. But for how much longer?”

Új Szó (Slowakei) (SK) /

Just window dressing

Despite his resignation Fico will remain the strong man in Slovakian politics, Új Szó believes:

“This is certainly not the path to an honourable Slovakia. Because as leader of the biggest governing party Robert Fico will continue to rule the country as he wants, only now from the wings. The new Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini is nothing but a display dummy. ... And what's worse: now that Fico has ostensibly sacrificed himself the lower levels of the governing party Smer - whose mafia ties got us into this crisis in the first place - can breathe a sigh of relief: in other words all the regional Smer politicians who helped the Italian mafia - which is presumably behind the death of Ján Kuciak and Martina Kušnírová - to gain a foothold in eastern Slovakia.”

El Mundo (ES) /

Kuciak case not over yet

El Mundo agrees and calls for stronger intervention from the EU:

“Despite the EU's demands, a proper, independent investigation of the facts still hasn't taken place. Fico may be leaving the front line but he's still pulling the strings in the background. Today Slovakia is a black hole into which civil liberties disappear. The EU cannot tolerate this.”
