The suit, filed in Denver, asks the court to ban state lawmakers from continuing the alleged practices, and asks that the defendants pay reasonable attorneys fees for the plaintiffs. The suit argues that Epps and Marshall were put in the impossible position of either breaking the law by participating in the off-the-books planning sessions - or being left out of “critical discussions.” Referring to their allegations, the lawsuit states: “Plaintiffs were assured, separately and repeatedly, by House Leadership that these unlawful practices would be properly addressed. And when there is a meeting with a quorum of members - such as the alleged committee planning sessions - the public must be given “full and timely notice.” Public bodies also must produce and share meeting minutes. ![]() The Colorado Open Meetings Law, which governs public bodies including the House itself, states that any meeting of “two or more members of any state public body at which any public business is discussed” must be open to the public. The complaint also claims, “on information and belief”, that Republicans held similar committee planning meetings. Defendants did not promptly record meeting minutes and did not make minutes available to the public,” the complaint alleges. ![]() Defendants directed legislative aides to omit or disguise these mandatory meetings from Representatives’ calendars. These meetings were never publicly noticed. “All Democratic Committee members were expected to attend these meetings which included presentations by bill sponsors, question and answer period, and discussion of members’ expected votes. The complaint describes several kinds of unofficial meetings that should be open to the public, but aren’t, including frequent planning sessions where Democrats allegedly mapped out how committee meetings would play out, with enough committee members present to constitute a quorum - which could allow them to decide the fate of bills before the committee hearing itself. It was long in coming,” he said, comparing the suit to “a loving intervention with an alcoholic that just can't change and won't change.” Legal action was not Marshall's first choice, he said instead, he pushed for an interim committee to meet over the summer to suggest revisions to open meetings laws and come up with a resolution.īut when that idea failed to gain traction, he and Epps decided to file a complaint. ![]() “As the law is written right now, it's illegal what we were doing.” Marshall said it’s especially common for lawmakers to send disappearing messages to each other during committee hearings when members of the public are at the Capitol to testify on bills. ![]() It also targets the widespread use of “ephemeral” messaging apps like Signal, which lawmakers can use to send self-deleting messages to their colleagues. Bob Marshall, both Democrats, have filed a lawsuit against their own leadership to stop what they allege is a culture of secret meetings and backchannel discussions among both Democrats and Republicans at the Colorado State Capitol.Ī court complaint filed on Friday alleges that members of both parties routinely break the law by having substantial conversations about public policy without providing required notice to the public. ![]() Deployment of a custom-developed data collection and exfiltration toolįigure 1.Deployment of custom-developed backdoors to facilitate persistence.Process hollowing and the use of vulnerable drivers for defense evasion.Deployment of Cobalt Strike beacons for command and control (C2).Use of living-off-the-land tools for persistence and reconnaissance.Web shell deployment facilitating remote access.Exploitation of unpatched internet-exposed Microsoft Exchange Servers.Our investigation found that within those five days, the threat actor employed a range of tools and techniques, culminating in the deployment of BlackByte 2.0 ransomware, to achieve their objectives.

It's certainly not necessary to have read Mitchell's previous books to appreciate this novel but there are specific references which will excite his fans. This also provides a direct link to Mitchell's past fiction given that one of the band members is named Jasper de Zoet it's not hard to guess which source a branch of this story grew from. Out of their individual stories of drug use and psychological breakdown emerges a larger tale set on another plane of reality that includes incorporeal battles and spirit possession. This environment is fertile ground for a David Mitchell tale as it captures a certain sociopolitical shift by delving into the lives of each band member and explores how their music reflects this era of protest and evolving consciousness. This new novel celebrates the psychedelic music scene of the late 60s by recounting the formation, rise to fame and short-lived career of Utopia Avenue, a fictional band that combines different folk, jazz and rock musicians to make a unique sound. Mitchell often builds realistic stories about the lives of individual characters into a larger fantastical narrative that bends time and dips into the ethereal. Yet there's something so distinct about his writing style which I thought was exemplified in his most recent (uncharacteristically short) novel “Slade House”. His novels encompass a wide range of subject matter and diverse group of characters. A weak novel by a great novelist is still a good book.It's so interesting coming to this novel having read and admired – but not entirely loving - much of David Mitchell's fiction. ![]() Still, despite all its flaws, I enjoyed Utopia Avenue – slow to start, but it picks up more steam by the second half. It’s frustrating to see an author who is otherwise capable of writing characters who display depth and growth continually whipping out these shallow caricatures. The other regular encounter is one of the main characters giving a cool retort to a Sorkinesque straw man. Dialogue has never been his strong suit: every character speaks like David Mitchell writes, and I lost count of the number of times a character had a brief encounter with a stranger (usually a Spot The Famous Figure moment – Utopia Avenue is replete with obligatory but ultimately pointless 1960s celebrity Easter eggs) who would dispense some clever witticism about the nature of life. It’s possibly because Mitchell’s quirks have started to wear on my patience that I’m noticing his other flaws. Mitchell has at this point made the interconnected nature of his novels a signature move, but I’m not the first of his loyal readers to express a wish that he would leave all this behind and write something as strikingly fresh again as Ghostwritten or Cloud Atlas. ![]() It’s rather telling that the most interesting part of this story thread comes in Jasper’s early troubles and attempts to figure out what’s going on, rather than the inevitable deus ex machina arrival of Dr Marinus. One of the band members is Jasper de Zoet, a descendant of the titular Dutch clerk in The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, and from the age of sixteen he finds himself troubled by auditory hallucinations which, as it turns out, are not hallucinations at all but rather a very real and very dangerous attempt by a spirit to take over his body. Utopia Avenue won me over in the end, containing as it does enough other interesting stuff: deaths, romantic affairs, troubled familial relationships, a brief stretch in an Italian prison, and the obligatory cameos from the David Mitchell Extended Cinematic Universe. Clearly a passion project for Mitchell, who’s always weaved a thread of music through his writing, but not a topic I’m particularly interested in compared to, say, body-hopping immortals, 18th century trading outposts in a closed-off Japan, or even a year of childhood in provincial Britain. But I was disinterested to begin with in the premise of Utopia Avenue: the story of a fictional British band in the heady musical world of the 1960s. There was a time when David Mitchell could write about paint drying and I would’ve bought the book. Utopia Avenue by David Mitchell (2020) 561 p. ![]() "Human hands are marked by a relatively long thumb when compared to the length of their four other fingers - a trait that is often cited as one of the reasons for the success of our species because it facilitates a 'pad-to-pad precision grip,'" says Hiatt.Ĭonversely, chimp hands are much longer and narrower. The researchers, led by Sergio Almécija, a scientist in the university's Center for the Advanced Study of Human Paleobiology, analysed the hands of humans, chimps and orangutans, as well as the remains of hands for early apes like Proconsul heseloni and the hands of human ancestors, such as Ardipithecus ramidus and Australopithecus sediba.Īlmécija and colleagues, Jeroen Smaers and William Jungers from Stony Brook University, discovered that human hands today are not that different from those of the early human ancestors. "The findings suggest that the structure of the modern human hand is largely primitive in nature, rather than, as some believe, the result of more recent changes necessary for stone tool-making," says Kurtis Hiatt, a spokesperson for The George Washington University. The study, published in the the journal Nature Communications, found that human hand proportions have changed little from those of the last common ancestor of chimps and humans, while the hands of chimps and orangutans have evolved quite a bit. Hand evolution The development of an opposable thumb that enables humans to grip and manipulate objects is widely believed to give us an evolutionary edge.īut new research finds that human hands are more primitive than those of our closest primate ancestors chimpanzees. ![]() Human hands are marked by a relatively long thumb when compared to the length of their four other fingers (Source: stockdevil/iStockphoto) ![]() I tried to find out what “ultra thin” meant so I scoured the website to no avail. I can’t find any rating for Cardo or Sena systems when it comes to the decibels they can pump into your helmet. The product SoundPro’s biggest selling point seems to be the “ultra thin” speakers that claim to put out 115 dB. You can use it to make or receive phone calls, and listen to music, podcasts, or stream anything else. It pairs to your smartphone or smart watch just like any other Bluetooth speaker system or headset. It charges with a USB-C cable, and boasts a 10-hour run time. The one big rolling button seems to have borrowed a design from the old Senas, which is indeed glove-friendly and easy to use. ![]() It looks like you can pull it out of one helmet and pop it in another pretty easily. The system is IPX5 waterproof, and mounts with either dual-lock to your helmet or a clip, in case you want to hang it off your goggle strap or backpack. Unlike the comm systems on the market, well, that’s all it does. The mic is integrated into the system, and there’s no separate mic or wire to mount into your chinbar. It has a one-button control module that sticks to the outside of your helmet, and two speakers you install inside. Like the Bluetooth comm systems on the market, it’s a compact wireless helmet speaker setup that connects (with Bluetooth 5.0) to your phone and lets you listen to music or make and receive phone calls from the comfort of your motorcycle helmet. Sorry, guys, can’t join the group chat, this thing isn’t a comm! It’s Just a HeadsetĮnter the Syphon SoundPro. ![]() Or maybe you just want a simple system without the functionality of a comm system. Maybe you want music and nothing else, and you’re tired of toying with earbuds. Say you always ride alone, or find it too distracting to talk to people. While there are several Bluetooth helmet communicator systems on the market, sometimes that’s just not what we’re looking for. ![]() and that odd take on the Mission: Impossible theme song from Limp Bizkit.

McLean residents have maintained for years that FCPS underestimates future student populations by using formulas that don’t fully take upcoming development into account, according to the McLean Citizens Association. Public hearings on the final adjustment haven’t been scheduled yet, but the school system anticipates it will take effect in fall 2024. If the proposed scope is approved by the school board at its July 13 meeting, FCPS will hold a community meeting on the boundary study this fall. FCPS says it would take at least three years of planning to establish a new program, according to a webpage for the capacity issues. Some proposed adding a French immersion program at another school, since the program’s popularity at Kent Gardens has been cited as a factor in the overcrowding. “If these three schools were to be added to the scope, schools adjacent to these school boundaries would need to be considered as well.”Ĭommunity members also suggested that any boundary changes should be phased in for current Kent Gardens students and urged FCPS staff to consider future population growth and the walking distance to different schools. Additionally, Haycock Elementary School is currently approaching a capacity deficit,” Fanshaw said. ![]() ![]() “Adding students may require capacity relief. Current capacity rates for elementary schools in the McLean area (via FCPS)įCPS isn’t recommending Haycock, Lemon Road and Westgate for the study, said Charles Fanshaw, interim assistant superintendent for facilities and transportation services. More than 100 comments advocated for the inclusion of Chesterbrook and Franklin Sherman, though Haycock, Spring Hill, Lemon Road, Timber Lane and Westgate elementary schools all got mentions. The meeting had about 75 attendees, and the survey drew 171 responses, according to FCPS. The recommendation was shaped by community feedback from a scoping meeting held on April 26 and a subsequent online survey. “People are coming to the table and giving us input on what makes sense.” “We have a beloved school that is overcrowded, and as a community, we’re going to have to make some tough decisions,” Dranesville District School Board Representative Elaine Tholen said, thanking the McLean community for its involvement. It could also examine the boundaries for the Advanced Academic Programs at Haycock and Churchill Road, along with the potential need for a “split feeder” for affected middle school and high schools. Just two years after tweaking the McLean High School boundaries, Fairfax County Public Schools has proposed a study aimed at relieving crowding at Kent Gardens Elementary School (1717 Melbourne Drive), which is currently at 121% capacity - one of the highest rates in the system.įCPS staff recommend that the study include the boundaries for Chesterbrook, Churchill Road, Franklin Sherman and Spring Hill elementary schools, as well as Kent Gardens, according to a presentation to the Fairfax County School Board last night (Monday).

Its ability to vent heat during shoulder-season jogs and shady climbs was a highlight of my testing notes. Breathability and InsulationĪs someone who runs hot, I was comfortable in the R1 Air during most of my climbs and runs in the spring, fall, and winter. My range of motion never felt limited its polyester construction provides plenty of stretch. ![]() The hood covered my ears and cheeks, and it extended over a climbing helmet. The sleeves are close-fitting, and as a result my T-shirt base layers would occasionally bunch up in the armpits. (That’s why I preferred wearing a thin long-sleeve base layer underneath, which doesn’t ride up as much.) I was able to comfortably wear a harness on top of it, thanks to the slim cut around the torso. On me, it was tight on the forearms but less restrictive around the shoulders and chest. I wore it mainly as my outermost layer on top of a base layer, but I also wore it under a shell and warmer down jackets. ![]() I tested it in light snow, on windy alpine ridges, and during cloudless days. I wore the R1 Air Hoody for climbing and bouldering in northern New Mexico multi-pitch climbing in the Sandia Mountains trail running in Santa Fe, the Tetons, and the Front Range plus road running around town-in temperatures ranging from the low teens to the high sixties. But the R1 Air accomplished something that these other layers couldn’t do quite as well: it kept me from overheating during high-intensity activities on chilly days. I also wore other midlayers, like the Black Diamond Factor Hoody ($73) for more relaxed climbing sessions and the Mountain Hardwear Kor Strata Climb Jacket ($225) for longer alpine missions because of its warmth and harness-friendly design. It has a stretchy, abrasion-resistant outer layer that’s great for brushing up against rough rock. The R1 Air forgoes that hard exterior for a fuzzy fabric on both sides.īefore testing the R1 Air, my most frequently used midlayer also came from the R1 collection: the TechFace Hoody ($179). You have a simple tortilla on the bottom and another on top, but it’s the beans and queso and carne in between that really matter.” I couldn’t agree more, and the original R1 fleece is a favorite midlayer among uphill athletes for the beans and queso it provides: a lofted grid structure that retains heat but keeps you dry by wicking sweat, plus its shell-like outer material. What Makes a Good MidlayerĬontributor Hayden Carpenter wrote in his 2020 review of men’s midlayers that “A good layering system is like a quesadilla. After a year, it’s become one of my most used layers for moving in cold weather. ![]() I received a testing sample of the R1 Air Full-Zip Fleece Hoody ($159) in January 2020, and I’ve beaten it up on adventures across four seasons. As my colleague Ariella Gintzler wrote, its new design meant it would be “warmer yet also more breathable than any iterations before it, without sacrificing packability or the ability to keep it on all day.” At Outdoor Retailer’s 2020 winter show, Patagonia announced its new R1 Air line of layers-the first big update to its flagship fleece in two decades. ![]() I’m smart enough to realise that if you have 7 plug-ins then you can do it in less than 8 moves. ![]() I am reliably informed, but not smart enough to do the maths, that irrespective of the number of plug-ins you have, that you should find the culprit in around 8 moves - not of course accounting for those with low plug-in counts.

Apparently, they may be used when naming playlists but be aware that they will be replaced by an underscore (_) if they make their way to an audio file name via recording, bouncing, consolidating, etc.Īs a consequence, it is recommended that you try and avoid using these characters when naming sessions and playlists in Pro Tools.Īlso, avoid using these illegal characters in external hard drives and networked volume names, naming drives and folders as well as using forward / and back \ slashes and connecting external drives sharing the same exact name. These should not be used in session or project names or media names. It can be the same issue as Error 2 in that you could have 2 drives with the same name, but AAE Error -35 is more likely to occur because one of your drives has one or more macOS illegal characters in the name. This usually pops up when launching or opening a session with Pro Tools on a macOS Pro Tools system. Along similar lines, as AAE Error 2, there is AAE Error -35. |
