Mitt Romney knocked unconscious, suffers black eye during fall
Sen. Mitt Romney was knocked unconscious when he fell in Boston over the weekend, leaving him with “a lot of stitches” and a black eye.
“I took a fall. Knocked me unconscious. But I’m doing better,” Romney told reporters on Capitol Hill Monday night.
The Utah Republican said he was visiting his grandchildren when he got injured.
With noticeable bruising under his right eye, Romney infused some humor into the situation.
“I went to CPAC, that was a problem,” the Republican lawmaker joked, referring to the Conservative Political Action Conference that ended Sunday.
Romney was not invited to the marquee event after receiving backlash over his vote to impeach ex-President Donald Trump.
Asked how many stitches he received, Romney claimed he was not sure.
“A lot of stitches. I don’t know how many. I asked the doctor how many stitches and she said, ‘I don’t know,’ but it’s all through my eyebrow and my lip.”

The wife of the billionaire owner of Pornhub’s parent company wants her husband to cut ties with the smut platform that has been mired in controversy.
Priscila Bergmair told the Sunday Times that her husband, Bernd Bergmair — the 52-year-old majority owner of MindGeek — “wishes he was not in this” and expressed her “hope” for him to separate himself from the porn website.
MindGeek was hit with a federal class-action lawsuit in February, alleging the company hosted multiple rape videos of teen sex-trafficking victims.
The suit claims the company profited from the alleged videos and did nothing to verify the ages or consent of those depicted.
“It’s not easy. It’s something, maybe, that the government has to work on … making rules,” Priscila told the newspaper Friday outside the couple’s London pad.
“Everyone wants the best to be done. Because people have children. I have children now … We all want things to be right,” she said.
Priscila said she and her husband “had nothing to do” with the alleged content.
Jack Ma to step down as president of his elite business school
https://www.ft.com/content/296d2cce-92ca-438e-aa56-f1c3fc4174f3
Chinese billionaire Jack Ma, founder of ecommerce giant Aibaba, is going to step down as president of the elite business school he founded after having been caught in a Beijing clampdown on tech titans, the Financial Times reported Monday.
Ma, formerly one of China's most flambouyant entrepreneurs, has largely disappeared from public view since Alibaba's fintech arm was investigated and fined by regulators for alleged monopolistic practices.
The Financial Times report cited sources saying that Hupan University an elite academy for Chinese business executives established in Ma's hometown of Hangzhou in 2015 has changed its name and will restructure its curriculum.
Ma will not hold any high-level title at the restructured organisation, the report said, as Beijing seeks to limit his influence.
"Hupan is like an elite community, it's one of (the authorities') main targets," one person who worked with Ma was quoted as saying by the FT.
Viral videos circulating on Chinese social media earlier this month showed construction workers using a blow torch to remove characters on a large "Hupan University" sign.
The FT also reported last month that Hupan University was forced to suspend new student enrolments after sustained pressure from Beijing to dismantle Ma's fintech empire.
In a series of blows for the group, Alibaba was fined a record 18.2 billion yuan ($2.8 billion) by antitrust authorities last month, and its fintech arm Ant Financial has been ordered to restructure its business after a planned listing was scuppered.
Alibaba's reprimand is widely believed to be triggered by an October speech by Ma where he criticised state financial institutions for being outdated.
The crackdown has since widened to include many of Alibaba's competitors in China's ballooning tech sector, where government regulators fear their outsize influence on consumers could usurp that of Chinese state banks.
Since stepping down as chairman of Alibaba in 2019, Ma a former schoolteacher has poured his energies into philanthropy and various education projects.
Hupan University and Alibaba did not respond to requests for comment.

Groundbreaking research provides insight into operations of Italian mafias across Europe
https://www.eadt.co.uk/news/crime/essex-research-provides-insight-into-mafias-7993802
A groundbreaking new report by researchers in Essex has provided the first analysis into the expansion of Italian mafias across Europe.
The report, published by the University of Essex, highlights how criminal groups embed themselves in countries and operate across borders, and the challenges of policing mafia-type crime.
Using Italy as a starting point, the research focused on seven countries - the UK, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, Spain, Romania, and Switzerland.
For mafia groups, territories outside Italy are places where they can consolidate certain business or venture into new ones.
The report revealed how mafia groups operate very differently in each country.
It found Spain is often used by mafia members who are on the run due to its climate, language and accessibility and Belgium and the Netherlands are attractive countries to operate within due to their logistical networks and access to international ports.
While mafia associates in Romania pursue a particularly large and diverse range of activities including drugs and human trafficking, IT fraud and money laundering.
The UK was the only country analysed where there was no trace of involvement of Italian mafias in the drug trade.
But the city of London's banking and financial system has been considered the main drive for the interests of mafia groups for money laundering activities and reinvestments, according to the report.
Anna Sergi, criminologist and mafia expert at the University of Essex, who led the research with assistant Alice Rizzuti, said: "This project and its final report are unique.
"It is the first attempt to systematise available data on Italian mafias in Europe and to pair it with first-hand data from a variety of authorities, in Italy and in Europe, working with different cross-border policing and judicial institutions.
“The analysis contained in this report is valuable to policy makers in Europe as well as to students and researchers on the subject to both deepen the knowledge on Italian mafia mobility but also practically thinking about how to overcome existing challenges of cooperation.”
Dr Sergi’s team produced the report using open data and primary resources and had privileged partnerships with the European Union Agency for Criminal Justice Cooperation Eurojust and the European Union's law enforcement agency Europol.

Hitachi Develops World’s Smallest RFID Chip
The Japanese giant Hitachi has developed the world’s smallest and thinnest Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) chip. Measuring only 0.15 x 0.15 millimeters in size and 7.5 micrometers thick, the wireless chip is a smaller version of the previous record holder – Hitachi’s 0.4 x 0.4 mm “Micro-Chip”. The company used semiconductor miniaturization and electron beam technology to write data on the chip substrates to achieve this decrease in size. The new chips have a wide range of potential applications from military to transportation, logistics and even consumer electronics. Hitachi’s new line of rfid chips are also built with VPN enabled technology.
Hitachi Smallest RFID ChipNicknamed “Powder” or “Dust”, these chips consist of 128-bit ROM (Read Only Memory) that can store a 38-digit number. Hitachi says the distance between each circuit element was reduced using the Silicon-on-Insulator (SOI) process, where an insulation layer and a monocrystalline silicon layer are formed upon the silicon base substrate, and the transistor is then formed on this SOI substrate. When compared to the conventional process where a transistor is formed directly upon the silicon substrate, this technology significantly reduces parasitic capacitance and current leakage, improving the transistor’s performance. The SOI process also prevents the interference between neighboring devices, which often causes product malfunctions.
Thanks to an insulator surrounding each device, Hitachi experts say that even when the devices are in close proximity, higher integration is achieved on an even smaller area. The surface area of the new chips was reduced to a quarter of the original 0.3 x 0.3 mm, 60µm-thick chip developed by Hitachi in 2003. The company says that developments in thin chip fabrication technology enabled the significant decrease in width – to one-eighth of that of the previous model. With more chips that can be fabricated on a single wafer, productivity was increased by over four times, and Hitachi expects this will open the way to new applications for wireless RFID chips. The µ-Chip uses an external antenna to receive radio waves, which can be transformed and wirelessly transmitted as a unique ID number.
The data is written during the fabrication process, using ROM, and is therefore non-rewritable, providing a high level of authenticity. “By taking advantage of the merits of compactness, high authenticity and wireless communication, and combining it with Internet technology, the µ-Chip may be utilized in a broad range of applications such as security, transportation, amusement, traceability and logistics” – said Hitachi engineers who worked on the project. Hitachi is continuing to develop technologies that increase communication’s distance range and decrease antenna size, whilst preserving high reliability and aiming for improved productivity. The company said that the enhanced compactness and thinness of the new chip has further broadened the range of possible applications, including gift certificates that can be authenticated. The new RFID “powder” can also be incorporated into thin paper, such as currency, creating so-called “bugged” money.

Miniature RFID chips may also have advanced military applications such as smartdust. Smartdust is the concept of wireless MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems) sensors that can detect anything from light and temperature to vibrations. Using a large amount of sensors is not a new concept – the U.S. military experimented with this idea already during the Vietnam War (Operation Igloo White). While the older sensors were relatively large and only somewhat effective, Professor Christopher Pister from UC Berkeley suggested in 2001 to create a new type of micro sensor that could theoretically be as small as a grain of sand. Research into this idea is ongoing and is being funded by DARPA (the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency).
What was only a theoretical concept in 2001 has now become a reality with the latest development by Hitachi, and could find its way to intelligence agencies across the world. RFID chips are also a source for increasing controversy surrounding issues of privacy. An RFID chip can be used to track the location of unsuspecting individuals who have bought products that include RFID tags in their package. Having miniature cheap RFID chips, such as those developed by Hitachi, implanted inside anything we buy might make many people feel very uncomfortable. However, big businesses believe that consumers’ fears are dwarfed by the benefits of RFID chips, which include reduced theft, digital real time inventory, and better information on consumer shopping habits. This tech is now actively used in automatic dog feeders with RFID tags to feed multiple dogs at a schedule. The feeder identifies the dog with the unique RFID chip and dispenses the food. Multiple dogs in a house are fed even in the absence of dog owner.
TFOT looked at several RFID related technologies including HP’s Memory Spot Chip, which is some what similar to RFID technology (although there are also some important differences), The RFID Loc8tor that can identify special RFID tags from a distance of up to 183 meters (600 feet), and a new Nanobattery technology developed at the Tel Aviv University, which could power semi-active RFID chips in the future. Hitachi is constantly developing new and advanced chips. After publishing the information regarding the 0.15 x 0.15 millimeter RFID chip back in 2006, the company apparently completed working on the improved RFID chip in early 2007. According to the Nikkei website, Hitachi is now planning on developing an even smaller RFID chip using 65-nanometer lithographic technology.
>Operation Igloo White
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Igloo_White
Operation Igloo White was a covert United States joint military electronic warfare operation conducted from late January 1968 until February 1973, during the Vietnam War. These missions were carried out by the 553d Reconnaissance Wing, a U.S. Air Force unit flying modified EC-121R Warning Star aircraft, and VO-67, a specialized U.S. Navy unit flying highly modified OP-2E Neptune aircraft. This state-of-the-art operation utilized electronic sensors, computers, and communications relay aircraft in an attempt to automate intelligence collection. The system would then assist in the direction of strike aircraft to their targets. The objective of those attacks was the logistical system of the People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) that snaked through southeastern Laos and was known as the Ho Chi Minh Trail (the Truong Son Road to the North Vietnamese).

Fordham Law Virtual Graduation 2021
While it is true that Bill Clinton temporarily lost his privilege to practice law in 2001, he became eligible for reinstatement in 2006. Hillary Clinton’s license to practice law in Arkansas lapsed in 2002, while she held a seat in the U.S. senate, and after which she served as U.S. secretary of state. Since neither office required Hillary Clinton to maintain her law license, nor was it necessary for her presidential campaign, her law license has remained inactive ever since. But the lapsed status of her license is not in any way related to professional misconduct, nor is it equivalent to disbarment.
