If she's so knowledgeable and understanding about her own white privilege, why doesn't she stand down and let those three African-Americans and the Hispanic candidate have a better chance of winning?

Or is she just more concerned with winning so she can parade about as a "White Woman Who Feels Bad."

nobody challenges her because nobody fucking knows who she is

Ms. NOT Brown is supposed to be a serious candidate for DNC chair? Total hypocrite by the way. Sad!

This will be forgotten when Trump announces his supreme court pick later this week, who will probably be the deciding vote to overturn the roe vs wade decision.

>In fact, let's stop paying for the abortions of everyone!
So is the practice itself outlawed or is it just not payed for by the government anymore?

why should i care again?

A spokesman for Energy UK, the body that represents power generators, was also confident about security of supply, saying: "We fully support the Capacity Market and we believe it will keep the lights on in Great Britain."
The capacity auctions were originally due to supply back-up from 2018, but the government brought the scheme forward to cover next winter.
Successful bidders in the auctions will receive a payment for keeping power stations available between November and February whether or not they are generating.
Coal, gas and nuclear stations can bid for the availability payment, along with demand reduction suppliers and interconnectors. National Grid juggles what's needed and when.
The capacity auction is expected to cost £2-3bn a year.
A government spokesman said securing capacity to back up intermittent forms of energy like solar and wind might cost about £7 per year per household at first, shrinking to £2 over the long term. He said power shortages resulting in price spikes would be much more expensive.
Generating margins were forecast to be tight for this winter, but there has been no problem, despite a long cold windless spell during which wind energy has produced around 1% of electricity demand. The highest daily percentage of wind power was over 20%.
Mr Holliday forecasts that all future talk of blackouts will be made redundant by a revolution in flexible electricity, with customers using power when it is cheapest.
One current weapon at National Grid's disposal is a contract for flexible supply with firms which don't manufacture continuously.
The firms get compensated if they are asked to stop consuming power for a while during, say, a windless spell.
Stories in the media have reported this as risky for UK Plc. But the EIUG disagrees.
Mr Nicholson told BBC News: "Clearly firms can benefit from being incentivised to turn down their energy use if it doesn't affect their production. Firms needing continuous production don't turn off their power."

Production of nanowires from other materials is part of ongoing research that was not reported in the paper.

The dimensions of the nanowire structures can be controlled by varying the solvent and the processing conditions. The structures can be produced in diameters ranging from tens of nanometers up to microns.

"Minimization of the interfacial energy at the boundary of the chemical reaction front allows us to form small nuclei and then retain their diameter as the reaction proceeds, thus forming nanowires," Yushin explained. "By controlling the volume changes, surface energy, reactivity and solubility of the reaction products, along with the temperature and pressure, we can tune conditions to produce nanowires of the dimensions we want."

One of the attractive applications may be separator membranes for lithium-ion batteries, whose high power density has made them attractive for powering everything from consumer electronics to aircraft and motor vehicles. However, the polymer separation membranes used in these batteries cannot withstand the high temperatures generated by certain failure scenarios. As result, commercial batteries may induce fires and explosions, if not designed very carefully and it's extremely hard to avoid defects and errors consistently in tens of millions of devices.

Using low-cost paper-like membranes made of ceramic nanowires could help address those concerns because the structures are strong and thermally stable, while also being flexible - unlike many bulk ceramics. The material is also polar, meaning it would more thoroughly wetted by various battery electrolyte solutions.

"Overall, this is a better technology for batteries, but until now, ceramic nanowires have been too expensive to consider seriously," Yushin said. "In the future, we can improve mechanical properties further and scale up synthesis, making the low-cost ceramic separator technology very attractive to battery designers."

Fabrication of the nanowires begins with formation of alloys composed of one reactive and one non-reactive metal, such as lithium and aluminum (or magnesium and lithium). The alloy is then placed in a suitable solvent, which could include a range of alcohols, such as ethanol. The reactive metal (lithium) dissolves from the surface into the solvent, initially producing nuclei (nanoparticles) comprising aluminum.

Though bulk aluminum is not reactive with alcohol due to the formation of the passivation layer, the continuous dissolution of lithium prevents the passivation and allows gradual formation of aluminum alkoxide nanowires, which grow perpendicular to the surface of the particles starting from the nuclei until the particles are completely converted. The alkoxide nanowires can then be heated in open air to form aluminum oxide nanowires and may be formed into paper-like sheets.


The dissolved lithium can be recovered and reused. The dissolution process generates hydrogen gas, which could be captured and used to help fuel the heating step.

Though the process was studied first to make magnesium and aluminum oxide nanowires, Yushin believes it has a broad potential for making other materials. Future work will explore synthesis of new materials and their applications, and develop improved fundamental understanding of the process and predictive models to streamline experimental work.

The researchers have so far produced laboratory amounts of the nanowires, but Yushin believes that the process could be scaled up to produce industrial quantities. Though the ultimate cost will depend on many variables, he expects to see fabrication costs cut by several orders of magnitude over existing techniques.

"With this technique, you could potentially produce nanowires for a cost not much more than that of the raw materials," he said. Beyond battery membranes, the nanowires could be useful in energy harvesting, catalyst supports, sensors, flexible electronic devices, lightweight structural composites, building materials, electrical and thermal insulation and cutting tools.

The new technique was discovered accidentally while Yushin's students were attempting to create a new porous membrane material. Instead of the membrane they had hoped to fabricate, the process generated powders composed of elongated particles.

"Though the experiment didn't produce what we were looking for, I wanted to see if we could learn something from it anyway," said Yushin. Efforts to understand what had happened ultimately led to the new synthesis technique.

In addition to those already named, the research included Alexandre Magaskinski of Georgia Tech and Gene Berdichevsky of Sila Nanotechnologies.

>As Mr. McCartney’s suit notes, he and Mr. Lennon signed a series of publishing contracts in Britain beginning in 1962. The suit contends that in a series of remarks and emails to Mr. McCartney’s lawyers, Sony/ATV executives alluded to the Duran Duran case and refused to confirm that he could reclaim his rights.

>The suit asks for a declarative judgment that Mr. McCartney would not be violating any contract by exercising his termination rights.

>In a statement, Sony/ATV said that it had “the highest respect for Sir Paul McCartney” and that it worked closely with Mr. McCartney and the Lennon estate. But the company added, “We are disappointed that they have filed this lawsuit, which we believe is both unnecessary and premature.”

>For many musicians, especially those who had hits decades ago, copyright termination has become a powerful means to reclaim their work and to gain financial leverage with the record companies and music publishers that represent them. When Prince’s classic albums were nearing the point at which he could reclaim them, he struck a lucrative new deal with his label, Warner Bros., to let the company continue to release his music.

>And in the music industry, there is no more valuable catalog than the songs of the Beatles. Michael Jackson purchased the rights to those songs in 1985, and 10 years later he formed Sony/ATV as a joint venture with Sony. Last year, Sony bought out the share of Mr. Jackson’s estate for $750 million.

>In a note referring to a standard legal threshold, Mr. McCartney’s lawsuit includes a major understatement. “The copyright interests at issue in this case,” the suit says, “are worth well in excess of $75,000.”

>For more than three years now, the hacker collective Anonymous International has leaked documents embarrassing several prominent figures in Russian politics.

>In December 2013, the group leaked an advance copy of Vladimir Putin’s New Year’s speech. In May the next year, it published emails revealing the political work of a company owned by Yevgeny Prigozhin, “the Kremlin’s caterer,” including evidence that he sponsors Russia’s infamous “Internet troll factory.” In September 2014, Anonymous International shared documents and emails showing how the Moscow mayor’s office frequently placed stories in the news media surreptitiously.

>In 2014, the group even released correspondence between Eurasianist philosopher Alexander Dugin, who heads Tsargrad TV, and Konstantin Malofeyev, the board chairman at Tsargrad TV.

>In 2015, the hackers published emails and text messages stolen from Timur Prokopenko, a Kremlin official supposedly tasked with stymying the anti-Putin opposition, Alexander Zharov, the head of Russia’s state censor, and Natalya Timakova, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev’s press secretary. A year later, the group also targeted Dmitry Kiselyov, “the Kremlin’s chief propagandist,” and Aram Gabrelyanov, the owner of several pro-Kremlin tabloids and news outlets.

>None of Anonymous International’s leaks has put anyone behind bars in Russia, and the content of the group’s revelations is generally more embarrassing than criminal. With this in mind, and the hackers’ surprising access to materials no one else seems to have, there has been rampant speculation about the group’s origins, including theories that it is run by members working inside Russia’s intelligence community.

Have Wikileaks published these hacked documents?

A burnt piece of a key fob found in a pile of ashes on the farm where triple-murder suspect Douglas Garland lived matches one that would have been used by the two grandparents he is accused of killing, court heard on Thursday.

RCMP forensic hardware engineer Kimberly Warren analyzed the burnt circuit board and determined it matches one used in the key fobs for five different models of Toyota vehicles, including the 2013 Tundra — the same type owned by Alvin and Kathy Liknes.

Nathan O'Brien, 5, Alvin Liknes, 66, and Kathy Liknes, 53, were last seen alive when the boy was having a sleepover at the grandparents' home on June 30, 2014.

Garland is being tried in Calgary on three counts of first-degree murder.

One of his neighbours woke up around 2:00 a.m. on July 2, 2014 and noticed a light on in the Garlands' greenhouse,

Brian Kalmback said he considered that unusual.

Later that day, Kalmback testified that he noticed a fire coming from the Garlands' burn barrel that "seemed to be larger with black smoke."

Earlier on Thursday, Garland's lawyer Kim Ross cross-examined lead forensic investigator Const. Ian Oxten, who testified that none of the accused's fingerprints or DNA was ever found in the Liknes' home.

Oxton spent Tuesday and Wednesday testifying as a witness for the prosecution. He confirmed to Ross that no DNA from the missing family members was found on any of the contents of a black duffel bag — two sets of handcuffs, a large knife and a leather baton — or child-size handcuffs that were seized from the Garland farm.

>Mr. Ross, 79, will run the trade file out of the sprawling Commerce department and work alongside Robert Lighthizer, the nominee for U.S. trade representative, and Peter Navarro, an economist and strident critic of China who will run the White House trade council.

>“The clear indication we have gotten from that side of the operation is that they are targeting Mexico and not us,” the official said. “We are keeping an open line of communication with them so we know what things they are planning to do with Mexico and that have a major knock-on effect with us.”

>Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland has already contacted Mr. Ross, although the Trudeau government is relying heavily on former Progressive Conservative prime minister Brian Mulroney to act as an intermediary.

>Mr. Ross, who has an estimated fortune of $2.9-billion (U.S.), is a close personal friend of Mr. Mulroney and Mr. Trump. The private-equity titan attended the 2011 wedding of Mr. Mulroney’s son Nicholas in Toronto, and their families meet regularly during the winter in Palm Beach, Fla.

>Canada is the biggest trading partner of the United States, and Mr. Mulroney has strongly pressed the case about the importance of the Canadian economy to Mr. Ross and others, including the president-elect, a source said.

>Mr. Trudeau sounded a positive note when asked at an event in Fredericton, N.B., on Tuesday about the threat of U.S. protectionist measures and a border tax on Canadian products.

>“We are focused on having a constructive working relationship with the new administration and one in which we highlight the depth of integration and inter-connectedness between our two economies,” he told reporters. “Obviously, there are millions of Canadian jobs that depend on the U.S. market, but there are also millions of American jobs that depend on smooth integration and trade back and forth across the border of goods and services.”
...

>Mr. Ross will have his confirmation hearing before the Senate Commerce, Science and Transportation Committee on Wednesday. He has been a vocal critic of free trade, and long advocated renegotiating NAFTA and other deals.

>He has called NAFTA the “poster child for unbalanced trade and investment” and accused Mexico of importing auto parts from China for vehicles it ships duty-free to the United States.

>In an interview with Bell Media’s BNN in October, Mr. Ross said Canada would not have a “lot to fear” from a Trump presidency.

>“You don’t hear him voice huge complaints about Canada, and there’s a good reason for that,” he said. “In the case of the trade between the U.S. and Canada, it is relatively much better-balanced than is the trade between the U.S. and Mexico.”

>Known as a turn-around specialist, Mr. Ross revived troubled U.S. steel, textile and manufacturing companies, but also moved thousands of jobs offshore.

>Data obtained by Reuters through a Freedom of Information Act request show that textile, finance and auto-parts companies he controlled eliminated about 2,700 U.S. jobs since 2004 by shifting production to other countries, according to a Labor Department program that assists workers who lose their jobs due to global trade.

>Throughout human history, with every economic disaster, crisis or trauma, there has also been economic opportunity.

>U.S. President Donald Trump is promising to “Make America Great Again”. But he could, albeit inadvertently, create an opportunity to make the Canadian economy greater than it is now.

>To be sure, economic protectionism in the U.S. under Trump could hurt our economy. The potential threats and negatives are obvious and right in our faces.

>If Trump carries out the protectionist policies he’s talking about, it will be blunt force trauma, readily apparent to everyone.

>Economic hardship is tough on individuals -- emotional and deeply personal in its impact. However, the new opportunities economic turmoil creates, while often hidden, do exist, although to take advantage of them requires courage.

>After all, it seems counter-intuitive to invest in future economic growth, when everyone around you is panicking and heading for the exits. It’s tough to double down if you could lose your house or the shirt off your back.

This article is stupid as fuck anonymoose bs. But here it is:
>The hacker and activist collective Anonymous, which wasn’t a heavy-hitter during the presidential campaign, has now warned Donald Trump that he is going to “regret” the next four years.The group made the threat in response to Trump’s tweet earlier this week suggesting that outgoing CIA Director John Brennan may have been the leaker of what Trump called “fake news” — the revelation of an unsubstantiated report by a former British spy that claims Russia has compromising information on the president-elect that could be used to blackmail him.
>Anonymous vowed that it will seek out and release damaging information on Trump’s activities and finances linked to Russia. “Information doesn’t vanish, it is all out there,” the group said, promising to reveal details on “financial and personal ties with Russian mobsters, child traffickers, and money launderers.”
>The group indicated that planned attacks weren’t partisan but motivated by a drive to reveal that Trump is involved in “some really heavy shit.”
>Anonymous threatened disclosures as well during the presidential campaign, saying Trump stands only for “personal greed and power.” At one point alleged members released what was supposed to be a Trump cell phone number and Social Security number. But Russian hackers at the behest of President Vladimir Putin reportedly stole the group’s typical thunder by exposing embarrassing Democratic National Committee emails, according to a U.S. investigation. Trump and the Republicans were unscathed in the effort to steer the election Trump’s way, according to U.S. intelligence officials.Trump hasn’t responded to the Anonymous tweets.
