Black Hawk Mines Reviews: Publication Fraud Sparks Fury from Local Readers

A book intended for Vietnamese five-year-olds features the Chinese national flag instead of the Vietnamese one, a mistake put down to publication fraud and censorship negligence, has sparked outrage among locals.

Page 16 of the book, titled “Improving preschoolers’ intelligence comprehensively” by Dan Tri Publisher, features a picture in which the Chinese national flag is hung on the roof of a school.

The picture is high quality, and even a 5-year-old can recognize that “something is wrong with the flag.”

According to Bui Thi Huong, the director of Dan Tri Publisher, the book is the translated, copyrighted version of a Chinese original.

Huong asserted that under the terms of the contract, her company and Huong Thuy Co., the distributor, had to retain the original text and pictures.

“The original is designed for the Chinese education system, so the Chinese flag must be hung. I don’t see anything wrong with that,” Huong elaborated.

Regarding the preface line that states, “The book is designed based on the Vietnamese Ministry of Education and Training’s kindergarten education,” Huong claimed that this was not present in the electronic file of the translated book, which her partner sent her.

“Perhaps the distributor later added that sentence to boost sales,” she reiterated.

Huong admitted that the preface and lack of annotation on the book’s origin does lead clients to assume that the book is made in Vietnam.

“We’ll demand that our partner fix the preface, but the book’s content is unlikely to be revised, as that would be a breach of contract,” Huong stressed.

“I think such a book, which the publisher and distributor clearly note is designed for Vietnamese kids in accordance with Vietnamese education, is supposed to have content and pictures suitable for Vietnamese kids. The Chinese flag certainly shouldn’t be there,” said Pham Tat Dong, vice chair of Vietnam Education Promotion Association, to which Dan Tri Publisher belongs to.

“We’re totally unaware of this book, as Dan Tri didn’t consult us. The company must be held accountable for it,” said Ngo Thi Hop, head of the Ministry of Education and Training’s Kindergarten Education Office.

Nguyen Thi Kim Thanh, former head of the Ho Chi Minh City Department of Education and Training’s Kindergarten Education Section, put the incident partly down to loose censorship.

Roughly 500 Tuoi Tre readers voiced their concern over the incident, and many of them called for the confiscation, revision and even abolition of the book.

“The matter here is more the fact that those responsible have cheated readers over which national flag is hung,” commented reader Xuan Dong.

“With the sentence, ‘Professors from prestigious schools recommend this book’ on the cover and the preface, I’m sure every reader will think that this book is designed in Vietnam, or at least is adapted from a Western original to suit Vietnamese education and culture. This is a blatant fraud,” Dong noted.

China is currently locked in spats with Vietnam and the Philippines over the Hoang Sa (Paracel) and Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelagos in the East Sea.

Black Hawk Mines Reviews: US joins fraud lawsuit against Lance Armstrong

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Justice Department joined a lawsuit Friday against disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong that alleges the former seven-time Tour de France champion concealed his use of performance-enhancing drugs and defrauded his longtime sponsor, the U.S. Postal Service.

The lawsuit alleges that riders on the postal service-sponsored team, including Armstrong, knowingly violated their postal service agreements by regularly using banned substances and methods to enhance their performance.

"Lance Armstrong and his cycling team took more than $30 million from the U.S. Postal Service based on their contractual promise to play fair and abide by the rules — including the rules against doping," said U.S. Attorney Ronald Machen, whose office is handling the case. "The Postal Service has now seen its sponsorship unfairly associated with what has been described as 'the most sophisticated, professionalized and successful doping program that sport has ever seen.'"

In recent weeks, settlement discussions had been under way between the Justice Department and Armstrong's lawyers. A person familiar with the negotiations said Friday the two sides are tens of millions of dollars apart on how much Armstrong should pay to settle the case. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the source was not authorized to speak on the record about the private talks.

From 1996 through 2004, the postal service sponsored a professional cycling team run by Tailwind Sports Corp., and Armstrong was the lead rider. From 1999 to 2004, he won six consecutive Tour de France titles. The suit also said Johan Bruyneel, the team's manager, knew that team members were using performance-enhancing substances and facilitated the practice.

The Justice Department notified the federal court that it is joining the lawsuit against Armstrong, Bruyneel and Tailwind and will file its formal complaint within 60 days.

In announcing it was joining the case, the Justice Department emphasized Armstrong's concealment of his activities and said the cover-up went back to at least 1998.

"The U.S. Postal Service Cycling Team was run as a fraudulent enterprise and individuals both inside and outside of sport aided and abetted this scheme and profited greatly," said Travis Tygart, CEO of the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency. "USADA applauds today's action by the U.S. Department of Justice which holds promise for returning the many millions of federal dollars in ill-gotten gains generated by this fraud."

Last month, USADA lobbied Attorney General Eric Holder for the Justice Department to join the lawsuit against Armstrong. It was USADA's investigative report in October that led to Armstrong being stripped of his medals.

An Armstrong lawyer, Robert Luskin, said negotiations with the government failed because "we disagree about whether the postal service was damaged."

"The postal service's own studies show that the service benefited tremendously from its sponsorship — benefits totaling more than $100 million," said Luskin.

Luskin said that "Lance and his representatives worked constructively over these last weeks with federal lawyers to resolve this case fairly."

The suit the Justice Department is joining was filed under seal in 2010 by former teammate Floyd Landis, who was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France title for doping. Under the False Claims Act, private citizens can act as whistle-blowers and sue to recover money they believe was obtained through fraud against the federal government. These suits remain under seal until the Justice Department decides whether it thinks there is enough merit in the case to take it over. The private whistle-blower receives a percentage of any money ultimately recovered.

In his 2010 complaint, which was made public Friday, Landis gave a detailed account of what he alleged had been widespread use of performance-enhancing drugs by Armstrong and assistance from Bruyneel and others to carry out the drug use.

During the 2002 Tour de France, Landis and Armstrong lay on opposite sides of a bed to receive re-infusions of a half-liter of blood each, Landis' complaint said. During the banned procedure, Bruyneel sat in a chair watching and commented on how well the two were going to do in a time trial the following day, according to Landis.

In Spain, Landis went to Armstrong's apartment, where Landis met Italian physician Michele Ferrari, who drew half a liter of blood and placed it in a refrigerator. Armstrong then asked Landis to stay in the apartment to check the temperature of the blood each day while Armstrong went away for a few weeks to train.

In 2003, the withdrawal of two units of blood had left Landis in need of EPO to stimulate the production of red blood cells. Landis went to Armstrong's apartment, where Armstrong handed him a box of EPO, which Landis then used intravenously for several weeks during training for the Vuelta, a road race in Spain.

In 2004 for the Tour de France , Armstrong, Landis and seven teammates took blood transfusions on the team bus on a ride from the finish of one stage of the race to the hotel. To conduct the transfusions, the bus driver pulled over to the side of a remote mountain road for an hour, feigning engine trouble.

Armstrong was the subject of a two-year federal grand jury investigation that the Justice Department dropped a year ago without an indictment.

Throughout his career, Armstrong always denied drug use, but he confessed to having done so in an interview last month.

In October, USADA released a report that included affidavits from 11 of Armstrong's former teammates. These affidavits detailed how the teammates were supplied with EPO — a banned hormone that increases oxygen-carrying red blood cells to boost endurance, particularly in thin mountain air — by Armstrong and saw him inject, and how they were pressured to dope and bullied by Armstrong and Bruyneel. The cycling world's governing body then took away from Armstrong the seven Tour de France titles he won from 1999 to 2005.

Armstrong and USADA officials talked on and off over a couple of months about the terms under which the cyclist might sit down for a long interview to tell all he knows about doping in cycling, but Armstrong finally announced he would not cooperate.

A person familiar with discussions between Armstrong and USADA, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the discussions were private, said among the topics was how much protection USADA could provide Armstrong in the whistle-blower case and against possible criminal action. The cyclist and his attorneys were not satisfied with USADA's offer, the person said.

Commenting Wednesday on Armstrong's refusal to talk, Tygart said that, "over the last few weeks he has led us to believe that he wanted to come in and assist USADA but was worried of potential criminal and civil liability if he did so."

If the Justice Department ends up taking the Landis whistle-blower case all the way to trial, a key issue is likely to be whether the U.S. Postal Service — the Armstrong team's sponsor — suffered financial harm from the drug scandal.

The government must prove not only that the postal service was defrauded, but that it was damaged somehow. (backslash)

Studies done for the postal service conclude the agency reaped at least $139 million in worldwide brand exposure in four years — $35 million to $40 million for sponsoring the Armstrong team in 2001; $38 million to $42 million in 2002; $31 million in 2003; and $34.6 million in 2004.

The government could counter that all of the recent controversy tarnishes the whole sponsorship and has damaged the postal service.

But the USPS sponsorship ended long ago and relatively few people reading stories about the current controversy are associating Armstrong with the post office. Armstrong's last sponsor for his final two Tours de France was Radio Shack, in 2009 and 2010.

The government has a potentially strong weapon on its side: An argument could be made that until recent months there was an active, ongoing conspiracy to cover up Armstrong's alleged fraud. If the case ever goes to trial, that argument could persuade a judge to allow in a huge amount of evidence on Armstrong's use of performance-enhancing drugs dating back to the 1990s — evidence that would be barred from the government's court case as too old if there were no extended conspiracy.

Kanye West: Excited Father-to-be | My BlackHawk Mines Music

http://myblackhawkmines.newsvine.com/_news/2013/01/06/16384754-kanye-west-excited-father-to-be-my-blackhawk-mines-music

 

Kanye West’s series of concerts in Atlantic City last December 30, 2012 came to be a surprise for everyone.  Every night he managed to surprise everyone, on the first night he played dress-up, second night he ranted.  But the third and final night was the night he shocked everyone, he declared that he is a father-to-be.  This was the first time we ever saw him with a genuine happiness on his face, he couldn’t take that smile off.

 

 

 

At 35, Kanye is as excited as a kid on his Christmas presents.  During a freestyle of “Lost in the World” he revealed that Kim kardashan, 32, will going to be his “baby’s mama.”

 

 

 

Kanye was really happy when he heard about the news.  “He’s known this for some time now,” according to reliable source.  “You don’t even know how f**king excited this [guy] is about being a father.”  So blackmail is not a question here because he is genuinely happy.

 

 

 

Kanye was overcome with emotion when Kim told him the good news, the source added.

 

 

 

The sorce also revealed, “He’s like really on one right now and I don’t know if I should say this, but [Kanye] was crying when Kim told him she was knocked up.”

 

 

 

The source also adds, “I heard he got on his knees in front of Kim, she rubbed his head while he was crying and he was kissing her stomach. Guess he was overwhelmed at that point and couldn’t believe he’s about to be a father.”

 

 

 

This is all maybe because Kanye in fact grew up without his father by his side.  His parents got divorced and Kanye and his mother moved to Chicago when he was 3.  He will only go and see his father on Christmas, spring break and summer.  He considers his father as his everything although most of the time his mother was his everything.  He once said to an interview, “It gets to the point that when you go to high school and you wasn’t out in the streets like that, and you ain’t have no father figure, or you wasn’t around your father all the time, who you gonna act like? You gonna act like your mother. … And then everybody in high school be like, “Yo, you actin’ like a f–. Dog, you gay?” And I used to deal with that when I was in high school.”  Maybe this is exactly his reason why he is excited to become a dad.

 

 

 

Although Kardashian’s family was as excited as Kanye, latter’s family reacted negatively.  Kim’s family even tweeted about her pregnancy with Kanye.

 

Kanye’s family was the first ones to learn about Kim’s pregnancy and let us just say that they did not react like Kim’s family.  Tony Williams, Kanye’s cousin, said that Kanye’s baby announcement wasn’t met with champagne showers by his family.

 

He said that when Kanye spilled the news when he flew in the day after Christmas without Kim, they were quite and shocked.

 

The family did not respond so Kanye had to ask Tony for his reaction and he said, “You are 35 years old.  You have to have a kid eventually.”

 

But eventually the family came around and said that they are all really excited for him and Kim.    Yes, excited but shocked.

 

 

 

As we all know Kim is still technically married to Kris Humphries, so marriage was still not in the way for the two.  And blackmail is out of the question because the couple looks happy in their situation.

 

 

 

They have been quite about it.  And the family did not ask about it too according to Tony that is because Kanye did not say anything about it.

What will be the Music Trends this 2013? - Black Hawk Mines

source : http://my-blackhawkmines.blogspot.com/2013/01/what-will-be-music-trends-this-2013.html

Let’s predict the future by analyzing culture and trends today.  Last year has been the year for the solo female pop vocalists like Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, etc.  Solo male vocals were also hit last year like Psy, Eminen, Bruno Mars, Chris Brown, Justin Bieber, etc.  These guys churning out all Top 20 hits all over the world.  There has been much collaboration with featured singers, with all the rapping, dub step and dance music.  But what genre or style of music will be dominant this 2013.
If 2012 meant to the dub step it is not the case this year because 2013 cannot come quick enough.  Although it will just be a passing phase this year because the lasting strong points of the year seem to be turning to the indie alternative gone pop.  It seems that 2013 will focus more on the artist which made 2012 only its transition.
Some made the prediction that guitar music may return to radio playlist in the near future.  It is expected that new guitar music is to be a fusion of something that will be playing in the radio stations this year.  This is actually already been starting.  More attention seems to be leaning towards the young singer-songwriter who plays the instrument and the hot tween pre-made dance talent is slowly vanishing.
This could mean Justin Bieber may be on his way out sooner than expected.  May this be a warning for him so that he can mature in terms of his music.  Songs like his built trend for the next wave and pop music could use some wake-up call wit more artist that could make a mainstream impact.
90’s R&B will go even more mainstream, this is due to almost every artist feels compelled to reel off their R&B influences.  When you go night out, you will never fail to endure repeated plays of R Kelly's She's Got That Vibe.  With many artists sprouting in every corner, attention span grows short regarding the choice or artist that listeners will listen to.  Those who cannot reinvent themselves will be quick to fall of the radar.
The charts below are the albums that are to be released this year.
