title: Us moves to cut backlog of asylum cases at us mexico border

text:
The Biden administration on Wednesday proposed changing how asylum claims are handled, aiming to reduce a huge backlog of cases from the U.S.-Mexico border that has left people waiting years to find out whether they will be allowed to stay in America.
Under the proposal, routine asylum cases no longer would automatically be referred to the overwhelmed immigration court system managed by the Justice Department but would be overseen by asylum officers from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, part of Homeland Security Department.
Advocates for the change see it as a way to help those with legitimate claims for protection while allowing officials to more quickly deal with people who do not qualify for asylum or are taking advantage of the long delay to stay in the United States.
“Individuals who are eligible will receive relief more swiftly, while those who are not eligible will be expeditiously removed,” Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas said.
The proposal must go through a public comment period before it can be adopted as a new policy.
The immigration court system has an all-time high backlog of about 1.3 million cases. The Trump administration tried to deal with the issue in part by imposing stricter criteria for asylum and forcing people to seek protection in Mexico and Central America. President Joe Biden’s proposal would streamline the system.
The reason for the change is that more people have been seeking asylum under U.S. law, particularly at the U.S.-Mexico border in recent years.
As the system works now, people who present themselves at the border or are apprehended by the Border Patrol and identify themselves as asylum-seekers must pass what is known as a “credible fear” interview. A USCIS asylum officer determines whether they meet the criteria of someone facing persecution in their homeland because of race, religion, nationality, membership in a particular social group or political opinion.

title: Refinitiv term sonia benchmark achieves significant customer adoption six months on

text:
New York / London / Singapore – Refinitiv today announced client adoption and usage figures for the Refinitiv Term SONIA benchmark, a forward-looking, risk-free reference rate available in 1-month, 3-month, 6-month and 12-month tenors denominated in sterling and designed to be an alternative to LIBOR.
Six months following the January 11, 2021 launch of Refinitiv Term SONIA benchmark there has been significant client adoption of the rate. Since the prototype launched in July 2020, the Refinitiv Term SONIA has been viewed by more than 600 clients. Refinitiv now see more than 220 users from 170 clients access the Refinitiv Term SONIA rate each week via our Eikon desktop and more than 110 clients access it per month using our real time data feeds. There are now many committed banks who have signed order forms to use the Refinitiv Term SONIA rate and there is a strong pipeline of customers with whom discussions, to use the rate, are ongoing. Some customers have already started issuing financial contracts referencing Refinitiv Term SONIA.
Jacob Rank-Broadley, Head of LIBOR Transition, Benchmarks & Indices at Refinitiv said: “We designed the Refinitiv Term SONIA benchmark around our clients’ needs and to the highest regulatory standards, and so are pleased to see solid market adoption across EMEA, APAC and the Americas, and used as a reference rate in financial contracts.”
Refinitiv Term SONIA rate leverages the firm’s extensive experience in administering high quality benchmarks. Since launch of the benchmark in January, only the primary data sources have been used in calculation of the rate. To ensure the benchmark is robust and can be published in almost all circumstances there is a waterfall methodology based upon activity in the interdealer and institutional SONIA OIS markets.
The London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR) underpins hundreds of trillions of dollars of financial instruments and contracts, making it one of the most widely used benchmarks in the world. Following announcements by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) the industry anticipates the cessation of LIBOR in the foreseeable future. The Refinitiv Term SONIA benchmark supports market participants including lenders and borrowers with their migration away from GBP LIBOR.
Sang Lee, Managing Partner at Aite Group, said: “As the LIBOR cessation deadlines approach, we expect the momentum behind adopting alternative rates to continue and will likely see a significant acceleration in use of alternative risk-free term rates such as Term SONIA.”

title: Advice for my plants.1547512

text:
Can i cut off the lowest leaves of the plant? I want to put more soil into the pot. People recommended to cut the lowest branches to make sure the top grows bigger. I will also add some perlite to the extra soil. Good idea? Any help is appreciated
Yes you can cut the lower leaves, but you want to pull that plant out of that pot and fill in the bottom of the pot then put the plant on top and fill in the sides. Perlite is a wonderous idea. If you try to just fill the pot, your roots will not get the extra space they need . Good luck mate .
No you should definitely not cut off anything to bury the stem. Terrible idea! Instead moisten the soil and do a transplant into the same pot.
I forgot to mention its an autoflower. Will this make a difference? I read that you can’t really trim them. Thanks
Yes its true for the most part. However you can low stress train autoflowers. Low stress training will make one plant yield more, the entire purpose is to use more space horizontal. When done correct, transplanting does not stunt the growth. My recommendation is that you transplant it carefully into the same pot and avoid any training since you seem a bit inexperienced, no harm intentended with that said.
Yes you don't want to stress the auto flowers too much. Most here leave them alone minus minor topping and some LST. They are also usually started in the final pots to stray from the dreaded transplant shock(I don't..) but Just a heads up, if you just fill the pot and cover the stem with soil, there's a chance she dies on ya .. or it could live but take crap tons of energy trying to grow roots from The stem you just buried. IMO Best bet is take the advice

title: The 20 best uses of classical music in movies

text:
No kind of music can offer more range of rhythms, melodies and harmonies than classical music. Complete in all musical elements, classical music often ends up being labeled as superior or elite art. These labels mix up more than help to understand music as a whole, ultimately leading to confusion and prejudice, segmenting the area for a restrict class lovers and connoisseurs.
Judging by the amount of available analysis on popular and classical music in films, it is natural that the former is more discussed than the latter. Popular music has repetitive identification signs as verses and choruses, relying on clichés of gender and repeated patterns that make memorization and understanding easier for the public. But what about a movie like Brief Encounter by David Lean, which uses Rachmaninov’s Second Concert for piano repeatedly to the point it becomes a motif?
The use of classical music in a variety of ways, including popular music approach, is a feature of many filmmakers like Stanley Kubrick, Martin Scorsese and Lars Von Trier. Different aspects like contrasts, juxtapositions and enhanced visual information induce the audience to feel the resulting product (sound + image) as a whole and it often transforms the entire piece into something inseparable.
In a survey conducted in England by a classical music radio, it was found that Rachmaninov’s Second Concert for piano was known not for its name, but as the “Brief Encounter Theme”. It’s almost impossible to dissociate the sun rising in 2001 Space Odyssey from Richard Strauss’ music.
Classical music often participates directly in the film, serving as a backdrop and an accomplice to the climax scene. Alfred Hitchcock’s The Man Who Knew Too Much, features a scene in which Doris Day and James Stewart try to prevent an assassination at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
The orchestra conducted by Bernard Herrmann plays a major role in a scene that has mute dialogues. Only the crescendo of the orchestra is enough to show the characters apprehension and the consequent climax at the same time of the clash of cymbals.
In addition to its musical use, classical music also offers a list of interesting characters and life stories for movie scripts: troubled human beings, visionaries and musicians struggling with political background. Classical music deserves special attention when movie soundtracks are analyzed: the richness and variety of its productions makes it plausible to use it in all film genres.
Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring took 25 years to be acclaimed by the general public. It was only in 1938 when Walt Disney heard the piece and thought that it was the right choice for Fantasia, an experimental cartoon telling the history of life on earth. The Rite was used as a background for the extinction of Dinosaurs.
In fact, the choice made a lot of sense: the piece was perfect for the rise and fall of species, with all its variations of mood and intensity. The Rite became famous to the popular audience through Disney’s work, although Stravinsky disliked this point of view “The number of people who consume music … is of no interest to me. The mass adds nothing to art.”, once he said.
Well, maybe that is true in the perspective of the art quality in itself. However, it is very important that The Rite became famous to a larger number of people. Stravinsky work shocked and confused the audience when first exhibited in Paris. Nowadays, it is considered the Beethoven’s 9th symphony of 20th Century.
Woody Allen has used mainly two kinds of music in his movies: jazz and classic. The former was the theme of Sweet and Lowndown, a tribute to legendary jazz guitarist Django Reinhardt. Jazz is also a hobby for the director: he plays clarinet in a a band. But Classical music has also space in the body of work of this postmodern film genius. It has been used many times in his movies with different purposes and approaches.
Manhattan’s soundtrack synthesized these two passions, in the form of the American composer who best represents that combination: George Gershwin. Manhattan’s first scene is a beautiful and sweet homage to New York featuring a black and white filming, an ironic-neurotic-hesitating background narration and the sound of Rhapsody in Blues by George Gershwin, a piece that combines the grandiloquence of orchestral arrangements and the subtle moods of jazz.
18. The Shining
The Shining is considered to be one of the most ambitious movies made by one the most grandiose filmmakers ever: Stanley Kubrick. It’s the work of a bored genius, someone who had subverted all genres and paradigms and was aiming at something that was beyond perfection. Meticulously planned and filmed, The Shining has multi-levelled meanings in each scene and can be described as the Finnegan’s Wake of cinema.
The use of Classical music in it is absolutely planned and it contrasts with Wendy Carlos minimalist soundtrack made specifically for the movie. In The Shining, classical music is used mostly to emphasize the malefic and disturbing atmosphere of the Hotel.
Penderecki, Bartok and Ligeti serve as backgrounds for scary moments like the bathroom scene, the torrent of blood at the elevator or at the moment when Wendy finally discovers the content of Torrance’s writing (“That’s not writing, that’s typewriting”, said Truman Capote about Jack Kerouac… the same could be said about Torrance’s “book”).
Jack Torrance is swallowed by his historical condition: a damned alcoholic semi-writer. But, whereas Hemingway and Fitzgerald were full-writers, Torrance is just a postmodern flop, both as individual or as a writer: a neurotic and paranoid person on the verge of destruction. Kubrick’s use of classical music puts even more frightening anticipation for the movie’s climax, emphasizing that the phantom of historicism haunts America everywhere.
This Vietnam War movie is full of antagonism and opposites : Sargeant Barnes x Sargeant Elias, Idealism x Pragmatism, White x Black , Junkies x Squares and Pacifism x Belicism. This dialectical clash ultimately represents the death of the American Dream, a reccurring theme during the Vietnam War Years. The movie portrays intrinsic conflicts of American Society acting in a foreign environment, in a reality much more cruel and savage than in the cities of the US.
Whenever the American Dream dies, Samuel Barber’s Addaggio for Strings is played. Franklin Delano Roosevelt died on 12th April 1945. The Addaggio for Strings was played in American radios. Besides being played in the background of the scene in which Sgt. Elias dies (brilliant acting by William Defoe), Barber’s music serve as a theme for the whole movie: the death of the American dream, in its freedom and collective nature; due to the Vietnam War, the Watergate scandals and many social-political convulsions happening at that time.
16. The Big Lebowski
Coen brothers’ neo noir comedy has an outstanding soundtrack, blending different genres and artists like: Bob Dylan, Yma Sumac, Gypsy Kings, Kenny Rogers and Creedence Clearwater Revival. But that’s not the issue here, dude.
Mozart’s Requiem is a piece that represents sadness and urge: it is the last composition of the Austrian genius and it is a Funeral Mass. It is used in a scene which Mr. Lebowski tells the Dude about Bunny’s kidnapping and how important she is to him.
The Requiem serves as a perfect soundtrack to a tragic atmosphere and it’s contrasted with the Dude’s spontaneity (“Mind if I do a J?” he politely asks before lighting up a joint). In this case, classical music serves as a rhetorical element, emphasizing the feeling that Mr. Lebowski wants to pass to Dude. And it works. Dude takes it seriously and the briefcase scene with Walter is a hilarious finishing of the whole farce.
15. The Unbearable Lightness of Being
Bartok, Ravel and Janacek are considered modern classical composers. Despite this label, what characterizes them most is the fact that they mix traditional European music with the innovative techniques of Modernism.
The Unbearable Lightness of Being, adapted from Milan Kundera’s book, is a mix of these two characteristics: a new country struggling with its old traditions. Daniel Day Lewis and Juliette Binoche perfectly portray a couple, the former resembling the new characteristics (mainly his “free love” persona) and the latter a traditional Czech woman, monogamist and conservative.
The Soundtrack is only composed by Leos Janacek’s works and it’s a beautiful homage to a composer that represented perfectly the historical moment of the movie. Milan Kundera even had his own term for this kind of art: “Anti-Modern Modernism”


title: Nine chinese nationals sentenced to prison for cybercrime in lagos

text:
Nine Chinese nationals have been sentenced to one year in prison for cyber-terrorism and fraud targeting Nigeria’s economy.
Justice Osiagor also imposed fines and ordered their deportation, marking a major win for the EFCC’s “Eagle Flush” operation.
A Federal High Court in Lagos has handed down one-year prison sentences to nine Chinese nationals after they were found guilty of cyber-terrorism and internet fraud. The judgment was delivered by Justice D. Osiagor, who ruled that the convicts were involved in a coordinated cybercrime operation targeting Nigeria’s economy.
The individuals sentenced include Li Dong, Deng Wei Qiang, Huang Bo, Xiong Zhen, Lai Rui Feng, Zhao Xiao Hui, Lui Hai Rong, Lui Gang, and Du Ji Feng. Their arrest came following a large-scale sting operation carried out by the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) in December 2024. The operation, code-named “Eagle Flush,” led to the arrest of 792 suspects believed to be connected to fraudulent cryptocurrency investment schemes and romance scams.
Following their arrest, the EFCC arraigned each of the nine individuals on separate charges in February 2025. According to court documents, they were charged with conspiring to access computer systems for the purpose of undermining Nigeria’s economic and social structures. This act was said to be in violation of Section 27(1)(b) of the Cybercrimes (Prohibition, Prevention, etc.) Act of 2015 and is punishable under Section 18(1) of the same law.
Initially, all nine defendants pleaded not guilty when the charges were first read. However, during the court session held on June 5, 2025, they reversed their position and changed their plea to guilty.
After accepting the new pleas, the prosecuting counsel, Nnaemeka Omewa, urged the court to proceed with convictions and appropriate sentencing. The defense team did not oppose this request and asked the court to accept the guilty pleas as submitted.
Justice Osiagor, in his ruling, sentenced each of the convicts to one year in prison, with the sentence taking effect from December 10, 2024, the day of their arrest. Additionally, each convict was fined N1 million.
Beyond the prison term and fines, the judge also ordered that all electronic devices seized during the arrest, including mobile phones, laptops, and routers, be permanently forfeited to the Nigerian government.
The court further directed the Comptroller General of Immigration to ensure that all nine individuals are deported back to China within seven days of completing their jail terms.

All have ran into a problem that they have to charge the battery, but have no power. Have decision-making powers, or simply may not be their meals. This can be frustrating. Solar charger comes in, that gives more autonomy to its batteries. They are no longer affiliated with PowerPoint and help him, especially those which are deemed “road warriors”.
Almost everyone has these days, a mobile phone. Genes may be entirely if the battery goes dead and unable to access the battery charger. Setting the solar battery charger offers the possibility of charging your phone, wherever. The same applies To other batteries are charged.
Solar Chargers are good when camping or travelling. Instead of being associated with traditional magazines, should be limited to a cable, you can be free Charger solar arrays. This charger works just outside the free solar energy. There are even some models that will be downloaded using any light source, even light.
Probably one of the best things about this charger, which is the right action. You don’t have to pay a penny “to the use of solar energy.” Many people don’t know that you are leaving a conventional charger attached, although are not loaded, your phone can cost a little more than a year in energy costs. This means, throw money. Try charger solar arrays and may maintain that extra money in your pocket, to which they belong.
Solar charger can then be used for most mobile phones, however. Improved technology that allows for almost everything that can be traditional loaders. Is not restricted. Try charger solar arrays and see the difference that makes.
Solar charger offers much more than traditional Chargers. It is not required. Welcome, regardless of which while not being connected with the Chargers. Don’t be a slave battery charger Take control and start using solar energy so that the image needs a battery.

What Does Boot from LAN Mean?
Booting from LAN (Local Area Network), also known as booting from network, is a process that enables a computer to start up and load an operating system (OS) or other applications directly from the LAN without any local storage device such as CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, USB flash drive, or floppy disk.
What Is Network Boot?
Network booting, shortened as netboot, is the process of booting up a computer from a network instead of a local disk. This booting method can be applied to centrally managed computers (thin clients) like public machines in Internet café or schools, diskless workstations, as well as routers.
Network Booting Use Case
Network boot can be used to centralize the management of hard drive storage, which supporters claim can reduce capital and maintenance expenses. It can also be applied in cluster computing, in which nodes may not have local drives. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, network booting was used to save the cost of a hard drive for a decently sized hard disk would cost thousands of dollars, which is almost the price of a CPU.
Network booting is also used for unattended system installations. In such a situation, a network-booted helper system is used as a platform to execute the script-driven, unattended installation of the intended OS on the target computer. the implementations of that application for Windows and Mac OS X exist as Windows Deployment Service and NetInstall respectively.
Hardware Support of Netboot
Almost all modern desktop and laptop computers offer an option to boot from LAN in their BIOS or UEFI through PXE (Preboot Execution Environment). Post-1998 PowerPC (G3 – G5) Mac systems can also boot from their New World ROM firmware to a network disk via NetBoot. As for the older personal computers that have no network boot firmware, they can rely on a flash drive or floppy disk, which contains software, to boot from network.
What does restart bootloader mean? Why need to reboot to bootloader? How to enter bootloader mode? What can you do in bootloader mode? Answers are here!
Intel PXE Boot to LAN
On Intel architecture computers, network boot is enabled with the PXE standard. PXE extends the features of BIOS so that it can run the software directly from the LAN. Nowadays, PXE support is so common that you can find it in any modern machine that comes with an Ethernet jack called RJ45, which makes it possible to boot an Intel-based PC from the network without having to burn an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) on your network card like what you had to do in the past.
How to enable PXE boot for Intel Desktop Boards? On Intel Desktop Boards that support the PXE, you can set the network as a boot device. Now, let’s see how to boot from onboard LAN.
- Press F2 continuously when you power up your machine until it enters its BIOS Setup.
- Navigate to the Boot menu.
- Enable Boot to Network.
- Press F10 to save changes and exit the BIOS setup.
- Restart your computer and press F12 during POST to boot from a remote server within LAN.
How to Boot from LAN?
The process of network booting is like this. The initial software to be run is loaded from a server on the network. For IP networks, usually, this is done using the TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol). The server from which to load the initial software is often found by broadcasting a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) or Bootstrap Protocol request.
Usually, that initial software isn’t a full image of the OS to be loaded, but a small network boot manager program like PXELINUX that can deploy a boot option menu and then load the full image by invoking the corresponding second-stage bootloader.
Before IP became the primary Layer 3 protocol, IBM’s RIPL (Remote Initial Program Load) and Novell’s NCP (NetWare Core Protocol) were widely used to boot from Internet. Their client implementations also fit into smaller ROM than PXE. Technically, netbooting can be applied over any of resource sharing or file transfer protocols. For instance, NFS (Network File System) is preferred by BSD (Berkeley Software/Standard Distribution) variants.
Next, let’s explain the BIOS boot process in detail.
When the computer powers on and starts running the operating system, it goes through a series of operations before it finally starts the OS. The system is a sophisticated boot program that takes total control over the PC. Yet, a boot program can also be a very simple app such as a memory diagnostics tool.

Step 1. Computer Powers on
The machine powers on after you press the power button on the host case.
Step 2. Hardware Initialization
Then, the BIOS conducts an inventory of all the components in the computer like CPU, memory, and hard drives.
Step 3. Self-tests
Next, all the components detected by BIOS will go through a self-test procedure to make sure they are working properly. If one of the components fails and it is required for basic operation, your PC will make a series of beeps and stop working. Only when all issues have been solved, the BIOS will move on to the next step to discover additional option ROMs.
Step 4. Computer Stops
If your PC ends up in that state, it will either hang forever or turn itself off, which depends on how it entered that state and how your BIOS is configured to react when it comes across that state.
Step 5. Find Built-in Devices and Option ROMs
During the process, the BIOS will detect all the extensions available, which are often embedded in the firmware of the BIOS or burned into an EEPROM or flash chip on one of your add-on cards. Among those cards, you can see the prompt on the network cards allowing you to decide which type of boot protocol it should support, PXE or RPL (Remote Program Load).
Usually, option ROMs should do nothing fancy at that point except initialize the hardware, run self-tests, and set up boot service (BBS) entry point. And, you will be permitted to select which boot service to try first by pressing a hotkey that varies from manufacturers. F12 is the most common one.

Step 6. Start the First Boot Service
Now, the application indicated by the boot service entry point is started. At this moment, control passes to the boot service that starts its discovery process for a boot program.
Step 7. Boot Service Discovers Boot Program
Different boot services look for the boot tools in different ways. As for the network card using the PXE standard, it will perform a DHCP request to find its IP address and location of boot software. If a location is advertised, a TFTP request is performed to fetch the boot program, commonly referred to as a network boot program (NBP).
Step 8. Remove First Boot Service or Put It at the Bottom of the Boot List
If the boot service fails to find a valid boot app, the boot service will exit, and control returns to the BIOS. The BIOS will cycle to the next boot service in its list. Whether the BIOS will remove the failed boot device or put it to the end of the list depends on BIOS vendors.
Step 9. Figure out Additional Available Boot Services
If there are more boot services available, the next one in the boot list will be started. If not, the computer will stop.
Step 10. Start Boot Program
Now, the boot program controls the computer completely. It will start doing whatever it’s supposed to do. Once the boot program has done all the tasks it should do, it will hand over the control to a system kernel. A boot program that conducts that work is known as a bootloader.
Then, the OS kernel will perform a complete discovery of the hardware attached to the system and start doing whatever it is designed to do.
Boot from LAN with MiniTool ShadowMaker PXE
MiniTool ShadowMaker is a professional and reliable backup software that also enables you to boot client computers within LAN from a host PC using its PXE feature. Let’s see how it works.
1. Download, install, and launch MiniTool ShadowMaker on the host machine.
2. If it asks for purchase, click the Keep Trial option.
3. Then, it will enter into its main user interface (UI). There, move to the Tools tab.
4. In the Tools tab, select PXE.
5. In the next PXE Client window, click the Start button to start the PXE service.
6. You can use the Settings button to specify the start IP address of the clients, how many clients can be started from this boot service, the router IP, as well as the mask.
7. Boot the client computer within the same LAN as the host machine into BIOS and change its first boot service to PXE.
8. Reboot the client and it will start up from LAN into the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) with MiniTool ShadowMaker included. And, it will automatically open MiniTool ShadowMaker after the timer counts down for 15 seconds. If you don’t want to launch the program, just click Cancel.
9. Finally, you will arrive at the screen of the MiniTool PE Loader. There, you can launch MiniTool ShadowMaker, reboot your PC, turn off your PC, load drivers, use the command console, and launch Microsoft iSCSI Initiator.
10. Go to boot up other clients with the same instruction starting from step 7.
Return to the host computer, you will see how many clients have been booted up from this PXE service and their temporary IP addresses and ports.
How to Install OS Through Network Boot?
If the client computer is bare mental or its original system is damaged, you can rely on network booting to install systems on it. The following guide applies to Windows 7/8/8.1/10/11.
If you have a Windows installation media, just connect it to the target client computer, boot it from LAN, and install the operating system on the client with the installation media.
If you don’t have an installation disk, you can create a system backup with MiniTool ShadowMaker on a working computer and save the backup image into a portable disk. Then, connect the portable disk to the client and boot up the client with the MiniTool ShadowMaker PXE service following the steps above. Finally, on the destination client, restore the system to its hard disk using the Universal Restore utility of MiniTool ShadowMaker.
Wake on LAN Boot
Wake-on-LAN (WoL) is an Ethernet or Token Ring computer networking standard that enables a computer to be awakened or turned on by a network message. typically, the message is sent to the target computer by a program executed on a device connected to the same LAN. It is also possible to initiate the message from another network using subnet-directed broadcasts on a WoL gateway service.
Equivalent terms include wake up on LAN, power up by LAN, power on by LAN, resume on LAN, resume by LAN, remote wake-up, and wake on WAN (Wide Area Network). If the PC being awakened is communicating via Wi-Fi, a supplementary standard called Wake on Wireless LAN (WoWLAN) must be employed.
Both WoL and WoWLAN standards are usually supplemented by vendors to offer protocol-transparent on-demand services such as the Apple Bonjour wake-on-demand (Sleep Proxy) function.

REVIEW: MURDER BY DEATH – FUEGO! EP
Oh the irony. The day Fuego! is released, only through digital stores, is the day there’s non-stop snow flurries around Milwaukee. For now I won’t give a rating on a scale or whatnot, but for those who want a recommendation I will say Fuego! is a ($2.97) purchase for those who’ve already listened to them before, or those who wish to have a perfect sample of how they’ve sounded throughout their discography.
Murder By Death’s Fuego! EP (Vagrant Records, 2008) is the precursor to Red of Tooth and Claw, the March 4th album mixed, co-produced, and recorded by Trina Shoemaker (Sheryl Crow, Blues Traveler, Queens of the Stone Age). Murder By Death’s previous album In Bocca al Lupo, although not as cohesive story-wise as Who will Survive and What will be Left of Them?, was a progression in production, notably in Adam Turla’s vocals. It drifted in style, focusing more on music than sounding like a spaghetti western film, for that reason I personally preferred Who Will Survive… more as an album. The opening track, Fuego!, is an up-tempo and drum-driven than their other tracks coupled with the smoothly gruff vocals of Turla. Notably he seems to conjure Josh Caterer (Smoking Popes) in belting the chorus “I want you! I want you!”, sharing the familiar rise-and-fall strain of emotion above the typical vocal range. “I get the feeling if I stay with you, you’ll never let me go!” blends into the second track, a live cover of Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) written by Sonny Bono but notable due to Kill Bill, Vol. 1.. The recording quality is superb, including with the reverb emphasizing each syllable. Each “Bang Bang” thus echoes, accompanied by a sole electric guitar. Not nearly as haunting as the end of The Big Sleep where a man faces judicial death, but the impact remains on the same level. Theme (for Ennio Morricone)intertwines Like the Exorcist, but More Breakdancing instrumental tracks with Who Will Survive… in style. Led by Sarah Balliet on cello throughout the piece, accompanied by acoustic guitar and with dashes of trumpet, the piece is decidedly reminiscent of the best of new and old Murder By Death-a solemn spotlight of one instrument building towards triumph or despair, depending on their whim. It’s a befitting contemporary nod to the composer of the Man With No Name trilogy. Just lay back, close your eyes and let this miniature Western soundtrack roll like grainy flickering film frames.

title: Texas supreme court denies paxtons

text:
The state’s highest civil court rejected an emergency appeal by the Office of the Attorney General (OAG) challenging the legality of a new rule by the State Fair of Texas banning concealed carry during this year’s fair, which begins Friday.
Final rejection of the state’s request for a temporary injunction came Thursday evening, just a day after the justices of the state’s new 15th Court of Appeals also rejected the OAG’s arguments, leading to Attorney General Ken Paxton’s appeal to the Texas Supreme Court.
Justice Jimmy Blacklock was joined by Chief Justice Nathan Hecht, and Justice Evan Young in a concurring opinion explaining the rationale behind why the court rejected the request to stay the carry ban — and did not hold back in their criticism of the appeal.
According to the three justices, the question of whether the Fair, which is a private non-profit that leases the fair grounds from the City of Dallas, is an important question. However, the State failed to present that argument to the court.
“Remarkably, the State’s presentation to this Court takes no position on whether the State Fair of Texas, a private entity, has the legal authority to exclude patrons carrying handguns from the Fair,” the concurrence states.
“This Court cannot possibly order the State Fair to allow handguns to be carried at this year’s Fair when the party seeking that relief does not even argue that Texas law obligates the Fair to do so.”
Instead of arguing whether the Fair had the authority, the state’s position centered on whether the City of Dallas may promote or enforce the Fair’s carry ban, the justices explained.
“Assume the State is correct. Assume that section 411.209(a) of the Government Code prohibits the City of Dallas from assisting in the enforcement of, or associating itself in any way with, the State Fair’s gun policy,” Blacklock wrote.
“Even if that is true — and it may well be — this would not mean that handgun owners are entitled by law to carry their weapons at the State Fair despite the State Fair’s contrary policy. On that pivotal question, the State’s filings are conspicuously silent.”
The OAG had also argued in its appeal that the Fair’s policy would be unenforceable if the Dallas Police Department was unable to assist in its enforcement. But the justices shot this argument down as well, asserting that other security personnel as well as the Dallas County District Attorney’s Office would be unhampered with enforcing trespass against unlawful carrying.
They also explained how a hypothetical victory on this argument could cause otherwise lawful gun-owners the misimpression they have been greenlighted with the privilege to carry at the Fair.
“To the extent the State advocates for such an ill-conceived half-measure, it does so unadvisedly,” they said in rebuke.
On another key point, the justices took note of the OAG’s decision to withdraw a 2016 Opinion that substantiated the right of private lessees to restrict firearms on the rented property, saying that a withdrawal is not the same thing as a repudiation of its legal findings, nor has the OAG demonstrated to the Court why the prior analysis was wrong.
“If the AG Opinion was correct about the common-law authority of private parties who lease public property, then the privately operated State Fair may well have the authority to exclude handguns from the Fair, and this is the case even if the State is completely right about the City of Dallas’s obligations under section 411.209,” the court wrote.
The justices also said the OAG’s allegation that the Fair’s policy is “actually the city’s policy” through positions of influence and financial support only amounted to a “scattered and indeterminate” connection that did not give rise to the kind of control that would be necessary to “make the State Fair’s decisions about guns imputable to the City.”
On a final point, the court did say a future legal challenge could reveal impermissible influence by the City in the Fair’s policy making decision, but at this point, the facts show the Fair’s governing board made its own decision to prohibit guns at this year’s Fair.
“It should go without saying—though perhaps it cannot be said often enough—that a judge’s role in this case is not to decide whether the State Fair made a wise decision. Our job, instead, is to decide whether Texas law allowed the State Fair to make the decision for itself. The State declines to take a position on that essential question but nevertheless asks this Court for an injunction overriding the State Fair’s decision,” the court concluded.

EEG study quantifying the efficacy of Quantum Vape™ Technology
Vaporizer technology has revolutionized the way people consume substances like nicotine, herbs, and cannabis. Unlike traditional methods of smoking, which involve combustion, vaporizers heat materials to a temperature where they release their active compounds as vapor, without creating smoke.
Amidst a rapidly growing interest in health-conscious consumption, vaporizer technology has undergone significant evolution over the past two decades. From the rudimentary wick heating method prevalent in the early 2000s, advancements in heating technologies, such as mesh and ceramic, emerged as more efficacious alternatives between 2010 and 2017 and continue to be prevalent in most vaporizer technologies today.
In February 2024, Greentank Technologies introduced Quantum Vape™, a new vape heating innovation with a proprietary microfluidic design. This pioneering technology utilizes biocompatible materials, diverging from conventional metal or ceramic components, to enhance the flavor, potency, and consistency of the overall vaping experience.
To objectively validate the efficacy of the Quantum Vape™ Technology to vaporize a live rosin extract with 85.274% THC and deliver its intended effect, Greentank collaborated with the neurotech company Zentrela, Inc. to study the brainwaves (EEG) of research participants that consumed a specific cannabis vape product (510 cartridge). This investigation aimed to objectively characterize the onset time and potency of the cannabis psychoactive experience, by using Quantum Vape™ Technology versus a Ceramic Cell.
The raw EEG data of sixteen participants was collected before and after inhaling the same quantity of the same product. In their first visit they used Quantum Vape™ and in their second visit, they employed a Ceramic Cell. Before sharing the raw EEG data of the two vape technologies to Zentrela, the participant and vape technology identifying information was anonymised and blinded.
Zentrela used its scientifically proven* AI-based EEG analytics method, called Cognalyzer® AI for Cannabis Psychoactivity, version GA56, to characterize the psychoactive effect curves created by both vape technologies. *Peer-reviewed publications: paper 1, paper 2.
The findings of this study provide scientific evidence suggesting a discernible time difference between the Quantum Vape™ Technology and the Ceramic Cell in creating the intended effects of the cartridge for both onset time and time needed to reach peak.
Table 1 presents data regarding the psychoactive effects induced by vaporizing the cannabis product using the Quantum Vape™ Technology. The findings indicate that four minutes after inhaling three hits of the cannabis product via Quantum Vape™, participants began to experience its psychoactive effects, with an onset potency of 24.85% PEL.
By the tenth minute after consumption, the group of participants is estimated to have reached the peak of their psychoactive experience, which measured at 40.14% PEL.
Table 2 presents data regarding the psychoactive effects induced by vaporizing the cannabis product using the Ceramic Cell alternative. The findings indicate that five minutes after inhaling three hits of the cannabis product via Ceramic Cell, participants began to experience its psychoactive effects, with an onset potency of 26.33% PEL.
By the fifteenth minute after consumption, the group of participants is estimated to have reached the peak of their psychoactive experience, which measured at 39.28% PEL.
Table 3 shows the minute-by-minute statistical comparative analysis between the PEL of each psychoactive effect curve. The mean difference is the result of subtracting the difference between the Quantum Vape™ PEL minus the Ceramic Cell PEL at each time point.
The results of this AI-based EEG analysis shows that the main significant difference between the two heating technologies was the speed to create the psychoactive effects. Through Quantum Vape™ Technology, study subjects experienced the psychoactive effects of the extract 20% faster than when they inhaled it via Ceramic Cell technology. Furthermore, the maximum experienced psychoactive effect level (Max Peak PEL) created via Quantum Vape™ arrived 33% faster than Ceramic Cell.
A key aspect of this study that is worth highlighting is the demonstrated* objectivity, precision, and consistency in the EEG analysis carried out independently by Zentrela, Inc.. This analysis was aimed at characterizing both the onset time and potency of cannabis-induced psychoactive effects. What sets this method apart is its ability to remove potential subjectivity and bias in gathering cannabis effect data through conventional means like questionnaires. By utilizing portable EEG technology coupled with AI-driven analysis, this approach effectively addresses such concerns. *Peer-reviewed publications: paper 1, paper 2
Additionally, it is crucial to acknowledge that external variables potentially affecting the time it takes for cannabis psychoactive effects to occur were carefully managed to precisely isolate and compare only the heating efficiency of both technologies. It is widely recognized that the formulation of a product (including extraction method, drug delivery technique, infusion of multiple substances, etc.) can greatly influence both the onset time and potency of the product. By inhaling the same quantity of the identical product during both sessions, this variability was reduced to a minimum and effectively controlled.

Exciting times for iGEN
13/02/2025The start of 2025 marks an exciting time for the iGEN program, as it grows to include Damascus College Ballarat and Mercy Place Ballarat. Having seen the impact and value of the program within the Catherine McAuley College Bendigo and Mercy Health Bendigo communities, the students, staff and residents in Ballarat are eager to share in the joy of meaningful intergenerational connections.
Adding to the excitement of this growth, the iGEN Learning Program has been named as a finalist for the Australian Institute for Intergenerational Practice (AIIP) Outstanding Intergenerational Innovation & Contribution Award 2025.
The award will be presented at the AIIP Annual Conference in Sydney in February, where Colin Hogan (iGEN Learning Leader, CMCB) and Ellen Francis (iGEN Program Coordinator, Mercy Health) will also be presenting a session during the conference.
The Intergenerational Program (iGEN Learning) is a partnership between Mercy Health, Australian Catholic University and Catherine McAuley College in Bendigo, which pairs College students with local residents at both Mercy Health Bethlehem and Mercy Health’s senior living community, Golden Rise Bendigo.
iGEN demonstrates how positive relationships can impact health and wellbeing for all participants. Meaningful interactions, supported by innovative curriculum ensure that our residents and students find value in their shared experiences, that extend beyond the learning space and out into their daily lives, all while living out our shared Mercy values.
The work of the iGEN program will also be showcased at both the Australian Association of Gerontology Victorian Mini-Conference in March and at the Australasian Mercy Secondary Schools Association Conference in May.
The program continues to grow from strength to strength and we are very proud of the recognition that this collaboration of Mercy Ministries is receiving. Congratulations to all involved.


title: Popular superhero costumes for men

text:
Logan, also known as The Wolverine, is one of the most powerful mutants in the X-Men universe. His ability to heal from any wound and near immortality have over the years transformed him into a terrifying lone wolf.
To make a Wolverine costume you will need his one-piece suit, a pair of quality claws, a yellow belt with ‘X’ buckles, and some blue boots. We also highly recommend his comic-book-accurate mask for full badassery!
Homelander is the most powerful supe Vought ever created. Taking inspiration from D.C. and Superman, Homelander has the powers of near indestructibility, flight, super strength, and can shoot lasers from his eyes. The only real difference between the two? Homelander is completely and utterly unhinged.
We keep this costume simple with a quality pre-made Homelander costume and boots, as well as some humorous touches like a jar of milk and real-glowing laser eyes.
After a lab accident grants the young Danny Fenton superpowers, he becomes the spectral Danny Phantom and commits himself to protecting his small town of Amity Park from ghostly threats.
Our Danny Phantom outfit requires a little DIY work but nothing difficult. Starting with a black bodysuit, you will want to add white boots, gloves and a belt, as well as apply the ‘D’ insignia with fabric paint.

Latinos reaching Latinos: God at work in rural Ecuador
By John Stuart | Ecuador in South America
Martha was always full of questions. From the first time she attended the Bible study, her desire to know more was evident. Even after she moved to a new town, she still wanted to gather to study the Bible. But Tomas and his fellow SIM missionaries never would have anticipated the influence Martha would have on others in her community.
Martha represents a rare case in rural church planting, of God changing her in a dramatic way from the first encounter. In reality, the ministry is more often a slow, methodical venture.
Vast distances and precarious roads, compounded by unpredictable weather make rural ministry a challenge. Syncretism, materialism and a works-based spiritual background pose other difficulties for ministers here. Despite people's religious upbringing, the areas they minister in have virtually zero presence of the true gospel. Wherever possible, Tomas partners with local churches in the rural areas.
This is not the ministry Tomas thought he would be doing in Ecuador. But God was preparing the Bolivia native and his wife Nancy even before they arrived.
"Originally we did not come to Ecuador to work in rural areas," Tomas said. "However before coming to Ecuador we were involved with rural ministry Bolivia, so this is not something new to us."
They are seeing why God wanted them to serve in rural areas.
"The Lord is working miraculously in the families we are visiting," Tomas said. "We are presenting the Gospel to many in a systematic way and I believe that God is pushing us to rural areas to be able to meet this gospel need in partnership with local churches."
In addition to his church planting work, Tomas takes part in SIM's Equipping Servants (ESI) program. Launched by SIM in the 1990s, ESI is a strategic, three-year program that trains and disciples South American pastors for ministry.
Tomas said this training is critical for pastors, as it meets a vital need of helping them continually grow in their knowledge and application of the Bible.
"ESI plays a role in showing the need to continue studying the Bible and growing in pastoral knowledge and leadership," Tomas said. "It encourages pastors to continue to depend on God in their ministry and family."
Often pastors feel they don't have peers to help them grow spiritually or to share their lives and struggles with, Tomas said.
"In this sense, ESI creates an environment where a group of pastors and leaders can come together, to encourage, counsel and even confess their sins and then be able to ask for God's help by praying together," Tomas said.
Tomas and Nancy are two of a growing number of Bolivians sent out by SIM Bolivia to minister in other countries. They represent the first of what is to come, as more South Americans are responding to God's call to serve in missions worldwide.
"Being a missionary with SIM has significant advantages," Tomas said. "In SIM you are part of a team who will care for you and pray for you.
"It is easier for us to get a visa to work here, especially since there is an agreement between the countries within Latin America," Tomas said. "Being Latino is sometimes an advantage in that we can in some instances relate to people a little easier compared to people from different cultures. We can talk more fluently to each other, and it does help in our relationships in some cases."
Not long after Martha came to faith she began inviting others to their Bible study. First it was her husband. Next she invited her boss, and then her boss' husband. God is at work through her in a powerful way and little by little the gospel is taking root in her community.
• more men and women who are passionate to preach and share the gospel in these rural areas with very little gospel presence.
• leaders in the rural churches to have a vision for reaching their own cultures and nation.
• more missionaries from all nations to come who are passionate to share the gospel in the rural areas of Ecuador.

Hey ladies. I did get a second blood draw on Wednesday. Monday my levels were 5, Wednesday they were 14, but at a different doctor's office. So doctor said the difference could be the equipment in the different labs?? So I plan on going back to the same doctor for another blood draw to see for sure... I hate this back and forth, it's been complete torture... Ultrasound he did showed nothing, but he did say it could just still be early, but in his opinion it just looks like a miscarriage and doesn't believe it to be an ectopic... I'm still not comfortable moving on without knowing for sure my levels are going up or down!

ALSO, since I'm still getting positive HPTs, should I have started a new cycle when I started bleeding Saturday?? Or should I keep all this the same cycle?? My body is messed up right now... So I don't know what to do to ensure I start tracking correctly again if hubby and I decide to still TTC after all this...

Hey Crystal! Hopefully you’ll have all the answers soon and I wish it will be good news!! If I were you I would start a new cycle just in case and if you end up being pregnant it will be also great!!! Wish you the best!
Sbaby I can see those lines Good luck! Hopefully you’ll be getting some darker ones the next few days!

@crystal I dont think the equipment thing is real seeing as it's supposed to be sterilized etc... If you are pregnant do you think there's a possibility that you ovulated close to your period or just after it again? That it's new hcg its picking up
@sbaby I see lines girl congrats !!
Okay so I am kind of freaking out... doctor prescribed me Cyclogest which is a progesterone vaginal suppository right... I did some research on it and it is advised not to drink it during pregnancy as it can cause spontaneous abortions or deformities which is concerning... I don't know if I should keep taking it or leave it...
