We need to look deeper into the elements of that part of ourselves that would have us take us all down. We need inquire into that tendency of ours to choose tyranny over freedom, Republicans and fascists over Democrats and liberators, enslavement over autonomy, oppression over liberty, war over peace, violence over pacifism, misery over happiness. We must derail the cycles of war and violence. We must know how to “like” happiness. To do so, we must separate the skeins of this inner entanglement and shed light into this darkness within. We need to know specifically, precisely where to place the lever of effort we will apply to truly move the world, to derail it from its current acceleration into oblivion. So we look now into the elements of that perinatal unconscious manifesting currently as a will to die on the grandest scale imaginable.

were prosperous and mostly peaceful under Clinton. At the end of it, with Bush, we ended up getting the misery and struggle many in America were driven to want, though no one would ever admit that. A quick aside. The fact that the majority of Americans actually didn’t vote for Bush and so tried to choose happiness over struggle is a source of hope for us in all this. That’s a hint of what’s coming. But for now, let us get back to this opening provided us. We can make better use of DeMause’s insight using Stanislav Grof’s delineation of this birth unconscious of ours. Grof explains we are moved by four specific kinds of drives emanating from our earliest experiences. These specific tendencies in us relate to four different times in the birth process which involve four radically different kinds of experiences. Grof uses the term, basic perinatal matrices (BPMs), to refer to these four aspects of our inner urges. I will describe them here and refer to them along with DeMause’s cycles of social-historical violence and war to pull apart the roots of our dilemma. [Footnote 3] Our Tendency to Always Screw Up a Good Thing, BPM I The first of Grof’s aspects of our unconscious he terms Basic Perinatal Matrix I, BPM I for short. Prosperity and progress equal feeling “soft” and “feminine” Grof’s BPM I is sometimes described as “oceanic bliss” and involves the experiences and feelings related to the relatively undisturbed prenatal period. On the social, macrocosmic level, it is the period described in the quote by deMause above in which there is a period of “prosperity and progress” and feelings of being “soft” and “feminine.” [Footnote 2] The strong connection between individual experience (personal psychology) and collective realities (social-historical events and elements) is patent here since in BPM I experience the individual is still in the mother’s womb and to some extent shares her identity, which is of course feminine. Being unborn and not having gone through the “toughening” experiences of birth and later trauma, which predominantly create one’s defenses, the individual is also “soft,” i.e., undefended. “No Pain, No Gain,” Hell, Satan, and Poisonous Placenta; BPM II “No-exit” claustrophobia To further review Grof’s schema and its relation to deMause’s cycles of war, I want to remind you that BPM II is related on the individual level to the time near the end of pregnancy when the fetus is no longer rocking blissfully on the waves of oceanic bliss but is trapped in an ever more confining womb. As the fetus grows in size, the suffering becomes greater; no doubt this is the source of the common-sense belief that growing has to involve suffering, for example, “No pain, no gain.” At any rate, the feelings are those of claustrophobia and “no exit.” There is heavy non-agitated depression here, since there appears to be no hope, no change in the situation that would indicate a way out of the suffering. Indeed, this period continues practically right up to the time of birth, ending only when the cervix becomes dilated and, experientially speaking, there appears suddenly to be a “light at the end of the tunnel” and therefore hope. Where the hell we get the idea of hell. However, up until that time there are feelings of being totally unempowered, completely in the hands of an entity (the womb) that imposes a horrifying reality that appears to be unending and eternal. Herein we have the psychological roots of notions of hell and Satan. Feelings associated with this state include despair, victimization, blame, and guilt. “You’ll wallow in your shit, and you’ll think you’re happy.” – Kurt Cobain, from the song, “Sad” As birth comes nearer, “fetal malnutrition” increases, since the neonate’s increasing size and weight press down on and constrict the blood vessels that carry blood to and from the placenta, when the mother is standing. The decreased blood supply means a reduction of life-giving oxygen as well as the buildup of toxins that would otherwise be taken away by a normal blood flow.

By katldayin Microfiction 8 Sep, 2016 30 Nov, 2016 124 Words6 Comments Justice League review – not Wonder Woman, but still an improvement The long-anticipated Justice League is finally here, and it’s totally fine. Amidst all the negative criticism and predictable Rotten Tomatoes backlash, it’s still a fun and entertaining ride. Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot), Batman (Ben Affleck), The Flash (Ezra Miller), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and Aquaman (Jason Momoa) unite to take down ancient supervillain Steppenwolf and his horde of flying demons. The film has a promising start and more or less picks up exactly where both Wonder Woman and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice left off. It’s a decent first half filled with informative backstory and character introductions. There’s a fantastic action scene of Steppenwolf making his grand entrance into Themyscira. Those Amazons really are kick-ass. Both Batman and Wonder Woman, aka Bruce Wayne and Diana Prince head up the team and recruit the others. Not surprising as Batman has the technological means and power, and the success of the lovable Wonder Woman movie earlier this year means that Gadot’s part has really been beefed up. She’s a great leader and continues to show off her Wonder Woman wisdom and charisma here too. Newcomers Cyborg, and The Flash are both interesting characters with a decent amount of screen time. Cyborg is the brains, and Flash is definitely the humour. Aquaman however, despite his ‘dudeness’ and all round Jason Momoa charisma that has rubbed off on the hero, is reduced to little more than a few grunts and ‘woohoos’ by the explosive finale. A little more dialogue could have gone a long way there. Affleck’s Batman is still brooding and damaged but nowhere near as much as the emotionally taxing Batman v Superman. The character has been given a slightly more playful comic book sense of humour which does wonders. Perhaps this was a result of the disastrous reviews of BvS, or a result of director Joss Whedon (The Avengers), who stepped in after director Zack Snyder encountered family tragedy. However, it’s at the halfway mark where Justice League loses it a little. With the predictable resurrection of an old hero, which may or may not be Superman, things go a little awry once again. Is it Henry Cavill that just seems so awkward in the role of the wholesome Metropolis hero? I don’t know, but with Superman’s return comes all of the tedious Martha / Lois Lane drama that you probably hated in BvS, with which Justice League’s overall more comical approach, just doesn’t mesh well at all. This film does feel like more of a comic book than previous DCEU outings, and that’s a good thing. It’s more exhuberant and a hell of a lot more entertaining. There’s even a reference to Burton’s original Batman, and composer Danny Elfman even reprises parts of the original score. Is Marvel better than DC? Well yeah, it probably is. These films do have more memorable soundtracks though. It feels like the DCEU is heading towards a more fun-loving universe if this is anything to go by. Let’s hope they continue to get it right. People are tearing this one apart, but maybe that’s just become the fashionable thing to do these days. Rotten Tomatoes seem to have a jaded love or hate approach towards everything.

Whitney and his advisors decided to exercise their option. The Reids, claiming to have put $20 million into the newspaper since the 1924 merger [132] initially attempted to keep editorial control of the paper, but Whitney made it clear he would not invest additional money in the Tribune if the Reids remained at the helm. [133] The family yielded, and Helen, Whitie and Brown Reid announced Whitney's takeover of the newspaper on August 28, 1958.[134] The Reids retained a substantial stake in the Tribune until its demise, but Whitney and his advisors controlled the paper. The Whitney Era: 1958–1966 "Who says a good newspaper has to be dull?" Whitney initially left management of the newspaper to Walter Thayer, a longtime advisor. Thayer did not believe the Tribune was a financial investment—"it was a matter of 'let's set it up so that (Whitney) can do it if this is what he wants"[128]—but moved to build a "hen house" of media properties to protect Whitney's investment and provide money for the Tribune. Over the next two years, Whitney's firm acquired Parade, five television stations and four radio stations.[135] The properties, merged into a new company called Whitney Communications Corporation, proved profitable, but executives chafed at subsidizing the Tribune.[136] Thayer also looked for new leadership for the newspaper. In 1961—the same year Whitney returned to New York—the Tribune hired John Denson, a Newsweek editor and native of Louisiana who was "a critical mass of intensity and irascibility relieved by interludes of amiability."[137] Denson had helped raise Newsweek's circulation by 50 percent during his tenure, in part through innovative layouts and graphics,[138] and he brought the same approach to the Tribune. Denson "swept away the old front-page architecture, essentially vertical in structure"[139] and laid out stories horizontally, with unorthodox and sometimes cryptic headlines; large photos and information boxes.[140] The "Densonized" front page sparked a mixed reaction from media professionals and within the newspaper—Tribune copy editor John Price called it "silly but expert silliness" and Time called the new front page "all overblown pictures (and) klaxon headlines"[141]—but the newspaper's circulation jumped in 1961[142] and those within the Tribune said "the alternative seemed to be the death of the newspaper."[143] The Tribune also launched an ad campaign targeting the Times with the slogan "Who says a good newspaper has to be dull?"[144] The Tribune's revival came as the Times was bringing on new leadership and facing financial trouble of its own. While the Times picked up 220,000 readers during the 1950s,[145] its profits declined to $348,000 by 1960[146] due to the costs of an international edition and investments into the newspaper.[146] A western edition of the newspaper, launched in 1961 by new publisher Orvil Dryfoos in an attempt to build the paper's national audience, also proved to be a drain and the Times profits fell to $59,802 by the end of 1961.[147] While the Times outdistanced its rival in circulation and ad lineage, the Tribune continued to draw a sizeable amount of advertising, due to its wealthy readership.[148] The Times management watched the Tribune's changes with "uneasy contempt for their debasement of classic Tribune craftmanship but also with grudging admiration for their catchiness and shrewdness." Times managing editor Turner Catledge began visiting the city room of his newspaper to read the early edition of the Tribune and sometimes responded with changes, though he ultimately decided Denson's approach would be unsuccessful.

Times.[150][151] Denson's approaches to the front page often required expensive work stoppages to redo the front page, which increased expenses and drew concern from Whitney and Thayer. Denson also had a heavy-handed approach to the newsroom that led some to question his stability, and led him to clash with Thayer.[152] Denson left the Tribune in October 1962 after Thayer attempted to move the nightly lock up of the news paper to managing editor James Bellows.[153] But Denson's approach would continue at the paper. Daily circulation at the Tribune reached an all-time high of 412,000 in November, 1962.[1] Labor unrest, New Journalism The New York newspaper industry came to an abrupt halt on December 8, 1962 when the local of the International Typographical Union, led by Bert Powers, walked off the job, leading to the 114-day 1962–63 New York City newspaper strike. The ITU, known as "Big Six," represented 3,800 printers, as well as workers at 600 printshops and 28 publications in the city[1] but, like other newspaper unions, had taken a backseat to the Newspaper Guild (which had the largest membership among the unions) in contract negotiations. This arrangement began to fray in the 1950s, as the craft unions felt the Guild was too inclined to accept publishers' offers without concern for those who did the manual work of printing. [154] Powers wanted to call a strike to challenge the Guild's leadership and thrust ITU to the fore. New technology was also a concern for management and labor. Teletypesetting (TTS), introduced in the 1950s, was used by The Wall Street Journal and promised to be far more efficient than the linotype machines still used by theTribune and most other New York newspapers.[155] TTS required less skill than the complex linotype machines, and publishers wanted to automate to save money. ITU was not necessarily opposed to TTS—it trained its members on the new equipment[155]—but wanted to control the rate at which automation occurred; assurances that TTS operators would be paid at the same rates as linotype workers; that at least a portion of the savings from publishers would go toward union pension plans (to allow funding to continue as the workforce and union membership declined) and guarantees that no printer would lose their job as a result of the new technology.[155] Publishers were willing to protect jobs and reduce the workforce through attrition, but balked at what they viewed as "tribute payments" to the unions. After nearly a five-month strike, the unions and the publishers reached an agreement in March, 1963—in which the unions won a weekly worker wage and benefit increase of $12.63 and largely forestalled automation—the city's newspapers resumed publication on April 1, 1963.[156] The strike added new costs to all newspapers, and increased the Tribune's losses to $4.2 million while slashing its circulation to 282,000.[157] Dryfoos died of a heart ailment shortly after the strike and was replaced as Times publisher by Arthur Ochs Sulzberger, who ended merger talks with the Tribune because "it just didn't make any long-term sense to me."[158] The paper also lost long-established talent, including Marguerite Higgins, Earl Mazo and Washington bureau chief Robert Donovan. Whitney, however, remained committed to the Tribune, and promoted James Bellows to editor of the newspaper. Bellows kept Denson's format but "eliminated features that lacked substance or sparkle"[159] while promoting new talent, including movie critic Judith Crist and Washington columnists Robert Novak and Rowland Evans. The Tribune also began experimenting with an approach to news that later was referred to as the New Journalism. National editor Dick Wald wrote in one memo "there is no mold for a newspaper story," and Bellows encouraged his reporters to work "in whatever style made them comfortable."[160] Tom Wolfe, who joined the paper after working at The Washington Post, wrote lengthy features about city life;

a shame that soldiers are to fight for their pay, pension and allowances in the courts which are otherwise available to other central Govt emlpoyees. I, while in service, have been projecting similar ambiguities through service papers. I shall once again emphasise, as commented on your blog 'tales of two departments' that all DOPPW orders on pay, pension and allowances for central Govt employees be automatically be made applicable to defence personnel to avoid delay and such ambiguities. Defence personnel are paid out of central budget, therefore why there should be another letter from MOD for such pay, pension and allowances. Lets' continue with our efforts of brining out such issues to the knowledge of policy makers. Wg Cdr(Retd) IP Singh indianmilitaryveterans.blogspot.in said...

Is it not the responsibility of IHQ to take up this issue with Def Minister? It would be nice if there is periodic newsletter by AG's Branch which updates the Indian Army of all live issues and its progress. Morale is affected only when there is a perception that nobody is doing anything about the such issues. Muthukrishnan said... Dear Navdeep Singh Sir, Thank you very much for your great service to the ESM community. Navdeep has done more than his bit. Now each one the Exsm should petition his MP to raise the issue in Parliament. Dear Maj NS ji, What a powerful and authentic exposition on the truthful facts and the emanating injustices mainly due “ to how lower level functionaries in the Defence Ministry are making a mockery of the system and ensuring that benefits and welfare related schemes for defence personnel, disabled veterans and military widows are surgically scuttled before they reach the tables of decision makers”. It is also unfortunate that because of the above fact “ the minds of the competent authorities are confused and breached by these ................... in a way difficult to describe”. From my analysis, I do not rule out the possibility that in some cases, the unfair and unjust decisions/ outcome in the system may be due to deliberate or even naïve instructions imparted orally by the higher ups without going deep in to the subject or due to having a blind faith on the lower functionaries beyond a comprehensible limit. Anyhow, ultimate sufferers are the Pensioners/ Family pensioners and they have to fight for truth and justice up to the HIGHEST LEVELS of JUDICIAL SYSTEM IN THE COUNTRY often spanning over several decades. Please continue your dedicated services to the men who deserve and deserved. VNATARAJAN, (President, Pensioners’ Forum (affltd to AIFPA (Regd)) Chennai.

proud to have been part of a consultancy project that put cross-cultural exchanges at the heart of its work and many of the contacts I’ve made in Ghana will stay firm friends for a lifetime. There’s a lot we in the UK can learn from this fabulous country and a lot we should be proud to support. 16 Nov 2016 Blog, enterprise, News, Uncategorized BeeSweet, business, challeges marketplace, challenges, Challenges Worldwide, climate change, CMI, communities, decent, earn, education, employment, enterprise, environment, GEW2016, Ghana, Global Entrepreneur Week 2016, Healthcare, ICS, liberty powers footwear, livelihood, living, medical, poverty, safe boda, services, SME, uganda, Yako Honey, Zambia 0 How Does International Development Through Enterprise Work? Challenges Worldwide work with other expert development agencies to deliver the International Citizen Service (ICS) programme. ICS is a development programme that brings together young people from the UK and developing countries to volunteer in some of the poorest communities in Africa, Asia, and Latin America. It is led by VSO and funded by the UK Government. Challenges Worldwide want to see an end to communities around the world living in poverty! We work with small and medium-sized businesses to help them seek out new opportunities to grow. We support the businesses to grow sustainably and embed fair practice. Ensuring an enterprise has a positive impact on their community and the wider economy. We have seen that a decent living can empower communities to tackle many of the challenges they are facing. Challenges such as getting access to clean water and energy. Ensuring that there is a decent education and healthcare system. Most importantly protection working communities from climate change. At the core of all of these issues run the theme of inequality: women and marginalised people left out of the job market, workers being exploited by their employers and governments not implementing policies that protect their people from these issues. To mark Global Entrepreneur Week 2016, we will explore how Challenges Worldwide’s work through the ICS programme is empowering enterprises to support their communities to face these issues head on and create positive change. How does ICS ensure people can earn a decent living “ICS works with businesses and enterprises to help them grow so they can provide a fair income and one day employ others and improve the local economy. We also run projects that help build people’s skills so they can get jobs. We believe that everyone should be able to earn a decent living and become self-sufficient because no one wants to rely on charity or aid. A secure income is the first step to ending the cycle of poverty and building the local economy” How do Challenges Worldwide ensure people can earn a decent living? Building a strong economy is the most effective and sustainable way to address poverty. As a Challenges Worldwide volunteer, you will help grow small to medium-sized businesses, producing everything from organic honey to eco-friendly stoves. But your work doesn’t stop there. By helping these businesses succeed, you also help those around them – the farmers who can be trained up to produce honey themselves, the local women’s groups who can sell the stoves and fuel to their local community. Challenges help create employment and income for local individuals – the first step to making communities less reliant on aid. Zambia, ASC African Sun Currently, ASC has many social impacts. The most significant are the beehive project that ASC have implemented across Zambia in collaboration with Bee Sweet honey. They designed an improved beehive which is easier to assemble and cheaper to produce. They supply the beehive to small hold farmers across Zambia, they then buy the honey from the farmers at a competitive price. This supplies over 12,000 farmers with jobs and promotes environmental stewardship as honey production prevents deforestation, a huge problem in Zambia. How does ICS help people Get a good education “More and more young people are getting the chance to go to school, but some people are still excluded – by poverty, gender or because of their religion or background. Our projects encourage more young people to attend school, but also make sure they are included once they are in school. ICS helps children develop life skills as part of their education –

Our projects encourage more young people to attend school, but also make sure they are included once they are in school. ICS helps children develop life skills as part of their education –

like teamwork, leadership and confidence” – ICS blurb How does Challenges Worldwide provide a good education? Challenges believe that no-one should be excluded from school as a result of poverty or gender. We also believe that the creation of long-term employment opportunities is the best option since it helps parents avoid the difficult decisions about which child, if any, they can afford to send to school. Supporting women-led businesses also provides vital role models for young girls and helps to break down the social barriers to female education and employment. Uganda – Power Trust Limited (clean energy provider dealing in sourcing, supplying and installation of solar systems, solar water heaters, power backup systems and generators) produces has impacted on the community through jobs creation. The company currently employs permanent workers and part-time workers. The company also offers training and internship programs to the youth. There are currently interns at the company, however, they hope to get more in the future. ” We are very grateful to these two Volunteers Denis and Oliver, the building of the new website is underway, and all the good things you see happening in the company currently is all because of these two gentlemen,” said Director “You have been very helpful working with you, you have really helped us a lot during your stay with us and we really appreciate your efforts and sacrifices you have made toward the prosperity of this company,” said the board of directors Ghana – Liberty Power Footwear Has a strong positive impact in the local community. The company is small but provides apprenticeship schemes to local youth who are looking to expand their personal skillsets. He accommodates their education and only asks for them to come in to the company when it is outside off school hours. The owner is conscious about developing the education of local youth and would like to have a positive impact on their development. He has successfully trained two female apprentices who have since moved away from the company to make shoes on their own. The owner enjoys helping others to succeed and wants to promote ideals such as equal opportunities, gender equality, education, and a positive working ethic. We offer Chartered Management Institute accredited training to our volunteers whilst on placement for free By providing internationally accredited training as the backbone of our programme, we are proactively increasing the skill set of local young people who may not have been able to afford university. Of the volunteers that go on to complete their CMI qualification, approx. 50% of completers are from Ghana, Uganda or Zambia. We also offer the opportunity for a select few volunteers to earn their CMI qualification by demonstrating their commitment to the programme and ‘going the extra mile’. Recent studies have found that in Uganda only 15% of people receiving professional, work-based training are women, to date, 49% of Challenges Worldwide’s African volunteers were female, therefore we are having a tremendous impact on allowing young women to develop the skills that they need to excel in their careers. How does ICS ensure communities get the information and services they need to stay healthy? “ICS volunteers are ideally placed to reach out to other young people, particularly on issues like sexual health. Our projects also focus on making sure people have decent toilet and washing facilities, which can hugely reduce sickness and diarrhoea” How does Challenges Worldwide ensure communities get the information and services they need to stay healthy? Poor health is fundamentally related to poverty. Low-income families are usually the ones with poor sanitation, poor understanding of the links between their environment and disease and insufficient means to afford clinic fees when their children get sick. Providing toilets or putting in standpipes are helpful – but creating jobs will help to lift these families out of poverty – creating the environment where families can afford their own facilities, afford the school fees which will improve their understanding of health issues and give them the means to afford treatment when they are sick. Challenges also supports many health-related businesses such as ones that are trying to improve nutrition and make good food affordable for all.

Managing funds worth over $900 billion worldwide, Northern Trust's senior analyst Meier spoke to Anadolu Agency and said that a country's financial status and debt service coverage could be negatively affected by the political uncertainties in general. Stressing that a decrease in investor appetite might be in question during the first phase following the coup attempt in Turkey, Meier said the recent developments caused by the coup attempt in Turkey will not negatively affect investor appetite and debts service coverage in the middle and long term. According to Meier, just after the attempt, the Turkish lira saw a small decrease while the interest in government bonds in dollars and local currency increased slightly. "Interest in government bonds and currency has recently shown a decrease once more, however, they are just above their former levels. The main point that will decrease the appetite of foreign investors is that it is not fully understood how it's domestic and foreign policy will change following the coup attempt," Meier said, "In this context, Turkey is now going through a self-explaining period. In order to create the appropriate environment for foreign investors, it is crucial for Turkey to tell the world very well about the domestic and foreign policies it will follow." Pointing out that Turkey has managed to attract foreign investors so far thanks to its powerful institutions and proving its belief in the rule of law, Meier said: "The most important issue that international credit rating agencies take under consideration while assessing the credit rating is the country's ability to attract foreign capital."

'4 pct growth trend will be preserved' Ziraat Bank Strategy Manager Bora Tamer Yılmaz said they made sure the markets operated smoothly along with the fast

reaction given by the authorities in the week following the coup attempt. Noting that despite the measures taken in the first week, the pricing did not reflect Turkey's 4 percent growth trend, Yılmaz said the recent events were received with concern by investors, but after the following weekend, pricings recovered when the events were clearly evaluated. "While CDS 270 dropped basis points, Borsa Istanbul started the week with strong purchases. The currency was strengthened towards 3.02. Investors' appetite this week was parallel with the 4 percent growth trend. We believe Turkey will preserve its 4 percent growth trend," Yılmaz said, and that Turkey's expenses increased slightly due to the risk premium increasing during the first phase. Yılmaz said Turkish banks continue to look for finance from abroad and domestic demand has not experienced recession yet. 'Ratings will stay at an investable level' Indicating that international credit rating agencies were too quick to react, Yılmaz said: "What really matters in credit ratings is debt loyalty. Turkey has a history of debt loyalty. Public finance is Turkey's strongest suit. Their tax incomes in the growth environment support the budget balance. Decreasing the need for borrowing will keep public borrowing at a discipline-reflecting level." Stressing that they did not find the developments regarding Turkey's credit rating just, since the situation of not repaying the debt seemed unrealistic, Yılmaz said their expectation was for Moody's to leave Turkey's credit rating at an investable level.

The analysis depicts that when generalized extreme value theory (GEV) is applied to annual maximum rainfall over IRBs, statistically significant uniform trends were not seen. The spatial variations in the annual maximum rainfall for the 10-, 30- and 100-year return levels show statistically significant increasing trends over the IRBs. The shifting trend of rainfall extremes from northeast towards the western river basins of IRBs in the last two decades and resulted in damage to life and property on the west coast. The decadal changes in average intensity of dry and wet condition at 12- months running time window reveals that the shifting and increasing pattern of the rainfall extremes events during the last decades of the 20th century (1981-2000) and current decades of the 21st century (2001-2019) over the western ghats and west-flowing river basin leads to several floods situations. This research highlights the significant increasing trend in extreme rainfall events over the IRBs, which may pose a grave risk to agriculture, human life, and predominantly on the vulnerable sections of the society.

Temporal and spatial variability of precipitation extremes across India Shivanand Mandraha and Sujata Ray The occurrence of extreme precipitation events is a matter of concern for any nation because a slight change to it can have a devastating effect on the socio-economic condition for the state. To assess the temporal and spatial variability of precipitation extremes, extreme rainfall data over India (except Island part) have analyzed using quantile perturbation method. The data used in the study is taken from the Climate Research Unit, University of East Anglia (UK). It is a gridded data of 0.5o × 0.5o resolution. The analysis showed that different part of the studied area had varying perturbations in the precipitation extremes. The study found a significant anomaly in precipitation extreme for all the periods but the 1910s, 1920s, 1930s, 1940s, 1990s, and 2000s decades had covered wide area as compared to the remaining periods with reference to the long period of 1901-2017. In the 1910s, the positive anomaly was found near most of North East India, while negative anomaly was found in central and north India. In 1930-1940s, the central part had a positive anomaly, and the north part had a negative anomaly. Negative perturbation is present in the most of east region (the Gangetic plain) in 1990-2000s. A positive anomaly found on the west side. But in the recent decade very few anomaly present in the whole region. To partially address the reason behind the perturbation correlation analysis has been done between extreme precipitation anomaly and Indian Ocean Dipole. The result shows most of the part of East, North East side of India are having moderately negative correlation while some of the South and North India are having moderately positive correlation. The sea surface temperature over the Indian Ocean might be the main driver for the decadal perturbations in precipitation extremes. How to cite: Mandraha, S. and Ray, S

Presentation form not yet defined On the need for sub-daily data to study changes in extreme rainfall. Daniel Argüeso and Alejandro Di Luca Heavy rainfall is among the most impactful natural events. Our understanding of such events has improved significantly in the last decades, but large uncertainties remain around their recent and future response to a changing climate. At global scales, the frequency and intensity of daily extreme precipitation has increased, the hydrological cycle is becoming faster. However, the response at regional scales and shorter timescales is much more complex. The study of sub-daily or even sub-hourly data has been explored to some extent only, mostly due to the limited availability of data. When using high-resolution models to explore rainfall changes, it is possible to examine much higher frequencies, yet most studies focus on daily rainfall changes. Here, we demonstrate inherent limitations of daily data to study present and future precipitation extremes. Limitations that are not purely a matter of refining our sampling, but do have a physical background because outstanding rainfall rates rarely occur over the course of a day. Our results show that fundamental aspects of rainfall changes are not described with daily data, and the assessment of future changes in daily precipitation likely leads to misrepresentation of causes and impacts. We show that the short-lived and intermittent nature of most rainfall extremes need at least hourly data to be properly characterized, otherwise heavy rainfall is poorly detected. Analyzing higher frequencies also reveals aspects of extremes that cannot be addressed with daily data, such as changes in their intensity and duration. This is particularly relevant for risk and impact assessment studies because a significant part of changes in extremes occur at sub-daily scales. Such changes go unnoticed or, even worse, are misrepresented by daily rainfall amounts.

Climate indicators for high-impact weather events as droughts and temperature extremes over the Iberian Peninsula with convection permitting scale simulations Marianna Adinolfi, Mario Raffa, and Paola Mercogliano The dynamical downscaling of global circulation models (GCMs) with regional climate models (RCMs) is a computationally expensive process, even more so running at the convection permitting scale (CP). The high-resolution product of these simulations is an important factor for consideration and is relevant to provide a proper characterization of climate extremes, to address hazard assessment and manage associated risk. Moreover, an increasing number of studies shows improvements in regional climate model performances at CP scale if compared to their driving RCMs. The assessment of extreme events indicators, as defined by the joint CCl/WCRP/JCOMM Expert Team on Climate Change Detection and Indices (ETCCDI), is here proposed over the Iberian peninsula using CP simulations at around 3km of resolution for evaluation experiment as well as for future spans. The same indicators are also assessed for the available observations and for the driving RCM simulation at around 12km of resolution. Such approach allows, from one side to evaluate the results of CP simulation by comparison against observations and, on the other one, to quantify if there are any improvement by comparison against RCM simulation at a coarser resolution. Then, indicators are calculated in a near future 10 years-long period from both CP and RCM simulations, in order to highlight the differences in the climate projections. The selected indicators as consecutive dry days and maximum value of daily maximum temperature are strictly connected to high-impact events as droughts and temperature extremes. Their exploiting provide useful information about the expected changes in next decades due to the climate warming

in the equations, we can see great visual changes. The sunset is one example. * Redo the fog: It will be easy and fast because the calculations are almost the same as the sky. * Redo the Inspector: It's a little time consuming, because I am rewriting everything in C#, have to respect some development requirements and do a lot of testing to make sure everything is working. * Animation in the clouds: It will be a variation of the sky shader, will have a sequence of images creating a loop animation, will be a test prototype to version 2.0. For version 2.0, left to do the same things, but with much more realistic clouds, which is much more difficult to achieve and time consuming to render. Not to mention that you need to render the cloud once for each color channel. So I decided to release 1.5 before because the clouds are much simpler to do. Testing the fog of version 1.5 which will be released soon. The scenario used in the screenshot is the Island Demo. Here is the scene in the default settings. The ambient color is dark because the sun is rising. Now the same settings with the fog applied. * Moon drawn directly into the skybox. This asset looks great! Any ETA on the 2.0 update with the enhanced clouds? In post number 22, I explain what I want to improve in the clouds to version 2.0. The clouds will be more realistic and adorned, but the problem is the rendering time. The 1.5.0 version took 25 hours to render, even that clouds this release are very simple. Now imagine how long it will take to render these new clouds, and will be necessary to render the same frame three times, one for each sun position to catch the luminance. How the new clouds will be more realistic, I'm afraid that with only 60 frames the animation does not get smooth, I think it will need 120 frames, that will double the rendering time and the number of images for editing. This will give me a lot of work to do. But I think if everything works as I imagine, will have a cool result. The new shader will process the clouds in an additional pass, where I can make use of the texture opacity, improving the visual appearance of the sky, the moon will cross behind the clouds and the clouds will interact with the Sun Shaft image effect. If is needed to use 120 frames for the animation, will only increase the space of the package in the hd, the performance will remain the same. The good side of using this method to clouds is that the clouds are more realistic, the movement of the clouds are almost real and has a low cost performance than if it were generated in real time. The downside, is that it increases the size of the package. About lightning, at the moment I still can not think of any way to create this effect. Sorry. If my explanation seemed confused, sorry, my English is bad. For some reason the exposure slider has no effect in my scene, any ideas? Make sure HDR is not selected in the Options tab. This option does not allow the shader computes the tone mapping internally, giving the developer the option of using different tone mapping, such as the image effect "tonemapping" of Unity, located in Component>Image Effects>Color Adjustements>Tonemapping. The exposure slider is used only in the internal tone mapping of the shader. It will only take effect in the scene, if the HDR option is disabled. If you work with the HDR option enabled, the correct is to change the exposure directly by the image effect component, which also has this feature. Remembering that when using the tonemapping image effect, for it to work correctly, your camera should also have enabled the HDR option. That's the only reason I know that prevents the exposure slider working. Thank you, I eventually worked out the issue last night. I'm glad I asked as I did not know about the Tonemapping image effect and HDR is worth experimenting with visually. Ok so bare with me here I might be doing something wrong again but I cannot seem to get any stars to appear at night time and no sun spot too. Also at night my terrain still remains very lit, I assume it's ambient lighting or something - admittedly I need to have another play today and will suss that one I thinks. Really liking what I see so far, the fog is awesome. Thanks. I've managed to get my get my lighting fixed but noticed something very strange, if I add tonemapping and

HDR my reflections and lighting on world objects gets fixed to that point in time the day and night cycle. It took me a long time to figure out this was happening. Is this the correct behaviour, when it gets dark my world objects stay fairly lit and the reflections stay as they started on play? No stars working either, thanks again. It's almost perfect. This was supposed to be implemented, I'll write these things on paper because I forget. The color of the fog automatically adjusts according to the sky settings. Strange, this happens in the demo scene included in the package? * Make sure the Textures Tab, the fields "Star Field (Cube Map)" and "Star Noise (Cube Map)" is not empty. * In the texture import setting of this textures, the "Mapping" option must be: 6 Frames Layout. Try to create a new scene, delete the default light and drag one of prefab included in the package into the scene, press in the "Options tab" the button "Send material to Sky Skybox", to apply the material in the sky skybox. If the problem persists, please send your project or scene by MP for me to figure out what's going wrong. Yes the no stars does happen in the demo's including your examples online when testing on Safari. Is it a Open GL compatibility issue maybe? I'm on OSX. I've never seen any stars, even in your product screenshots. No way I can easily send the project, it's about 20GB but I'm happy to skype and setup a test example. * Added to the package a shader with only the sky without clouds. This gives the possibility to use their own cloud customized shaders. * Added in the "Scattering" tab some sliders to adjust the wavelength. The cloud shader to version 2.0 is almost ready, just need to render the animation of clouds, it takes a long time. Until now a 20 percent already rendered. Some images of a same frame of the new cloud system. Sweet, nice man. I shall look forward to trying this out. I've still no luck with the stars strangely. I occassionally see the odd twinkle on my UI cam so am wondering if it's not working due to a multiple camera setup. Is it dependant on deferred pipeline? Anyway I kind of want to use my own cubemap for the stars as shown below. Can you think of a way to allow this when combined with Azure which I love. Thanks for the updates, can we download yet? I need that program you use for clouds, expensive it is. Well, the problem of the stars was successfully resolved thanks to the help of @Beloudest, have a lot to thank him. It was just a syntax error when used the "dot" function. As I have not the opportunity to test the package on operating systems other than Windows, I could not realize my mistake. I wore a command like this to make the stars appear and disappear. Strangely DirectX did not cause error, but in OpenGL is need to write this way. I will be correcting the problem and update the package and demos as well as possible. It's just Apple for you, they like to be awkward at any opportunity! No problem. * New cloud shader with several customization options. * New options to customize the fog. * Added Milky Way to sky night. * Added a "Empty Sky" shader. * Some other customization options. * I intend to add a customization system with curves. This will give the option to customize the sky in different ways for each hour of the day. * I want to create a procedural cloud system so you can control the weather and the amount of clouds in the sky. I believe it will not be possible to do with the same realism of the current version that was pre rendered in external programs. * I am also looking into the possibility of adding to the package a unfinished water shader that I started doing a long time ago and not yet finished. My intention is to make this water shader work together with the sky. See an animated gif of the water shader under development. How many pre rendered skies is included in package? All the demo scenes in the firts post are included in the package. Only the clouds are pre-rendered, the rest of the sky works dynamically. If you have used the CryEngine, azure[Sky] is very similar. The clouds are just a texture with transparency to show the sky in the background through them. The difference is that the brightness of the azure[S

if this guy had killed everyone in the pizza place? No one else could be held responsible? Grrrrr! I don’t think Angie ever says “I love you” with complete honesty unless she is facing a mirror. Very true. Nice positive reframe there. 🙂 The notion of an elaborate ploy implies that there is some sort of coherent forethought and planning. No, it’s not as clear as that – on the part of the authorities, it’s simply a failure or refusal to act and in some cases that appears to be quite deliberate. Nobody’s sitting in an office in Whitehall dreaming these things up. The hoaxers themselves act quite organically IMHO… i.e. the idea for putting the kids on youtube via a mobile phone video was inspired by the failed Aberdeen hoax; didn’t they take that guy’s kid off him? . In turn pizzagate, or an element of it at least, seems to draw from Hoaxtead. The UK mob seem to be a relatively small inter-connected clique as far as I can see. And it’s not surprising that some across the pond would pick up on the ‘failed scripts’ from over here. Ah..the alleged secret tunnels/secret rooms. A big favourite of the hoaxer conspiranoids. Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean to imply that you were saying there’s a deliberate ploy to shut down internet freedom—more that this is a thing I’ve heard argued, and I don’t believe it. I do think that the hoaxes tend to feed off one another, and that those who perpetrate them tend to try things their friends might recommend (like getting kids to do video clips about alleged abuse, “just like that other fellow did”). Yes, if one’s mind were of a Freudian bent, one might really have a field day. 😉 I had a good laugh at one guy’s video who filmed inside Comet Ping Pong who was conspiratorially saying “There’s children going in and out of that back secret room.” I had just watched another video of the owner of Comet Ping Pong showing another conspiranoid around the premises and happily showing him the back room which is the room the children and their families celebrate their Birthday parties. Establishments like this have always had private rooms for family events such as Birthdays.,,,but oh no the conspiraloons don’t believe a family establishment celebrate children’s parties.. they “conduct paedophile activities and child trafficking!”…Sigh.. No, nothing is ever as it seems in the mind of the conspiranoid. Angie likes to blag on that she is soooo well connected and has sources of “intel” from very high places including even a personal hotline to Mr God at Universe command HQ. IMAGINE FOR 30 SECONDS Mr God cant be arsed with her whinging either and has given her the number to a premium intergalactic piss take line.Her phone bill will have been astronomical. Sigh … You are probably right of course about social media companies. I think I have come, reluctantly, to realise this. I hope – rather than believe – that a tipping point will be reached where it will become socially unacceptable to be facilitating hate crime and disgusting hoaxes; where it will start to hit where it hurts for no-conscience corporations and where it is required that police are helped not hindered. I also agree that the real issue is the reluctance to apply existing laws and we’ve seen this very clearly on the Hampstead case where numerous laws have been broken but not enforced. I think that as we see more attendant issues, law enforcement will be forced to address the post truth internet age. They will need to skill up significantly to do this! Things getting desperate at CCN.Here Bigears brings up his ring after taking on board psychoactive frog juice.All of course in the name of making the world a better place.

of innocent victims online has gotten very dangerous. That Jerad Miller guy in Nevada who killed two cops in CiCi’s pizza is another prime example. The people at Comet must have been terrified. The unmitigated Gall of these Bums is astounding! What can people do to curtail this criminal activity. The Sandy Hook Hoaxsters have encouraged crimes and perpetuated threats also. Imagine how the deceased children’s parents feel? Why no injunction for their sake? Baffling. It doesn’t work like what? Did you read what I put? Sweden had already questioned him, closed the case and let him leave a free man. Suddenly after the leaks they wanted to ask more questions and for 6 years he has been inviting them to pop over to the embassy and question him over tea and scones, no problem at all. The prosecutor didn’t want to but strangely now has after refusing to do it for 6 years. All this doesn’t strike you as being a little odd? Why on Earth would you simply not jump on a plane to go and see the a guy and question him? British police go abroad to question people all the time so what’s the issue that you are on about? It is nothing unusual at all. Do you really think it is a coincidence that after the leaks and the yanks wanting him, Sweden suddenly changes it’s mind and wants him back for a cosy chat in one of their cells? Britain can’t extradite somebody under the protection of an embassy, so I fail to see the the point of extradition timescales as he would be in a Swedish cell and they can take as long as they wish. You do believe in innocent until proven guilty, yes? If Sweden has a case then let them present it, it doesn’t appear to have been able to the first time around though, they closed it and let him go! There are injunctions in place; the issue is getting them enforced. I think the problem is a deeper one, and has to do with the unfettered ability for nutcases to share their deranged theories with others, especially when those theories involve targetting innocent people. We need to start looking into the way social media platforms and search engines aid and abet this victimisation, and they need to become subject to laws regarding defamation and harassment, just as any other corporations or individuals are, under the law. I really don’t see any other way to get this thing under control, and I fear what could happen if it isn’t reined in as quickly as possible. I wasn’t aware of any Sandy Hook Injunctions only Hampstead? Agree with your conclusion! Oh, sorry, when you were mentioning injunctions I thought you were referring to Hoaxtead. You’re right, I’m not aware of any Sandy Hook injunctions. Alex Jones has retracted research into Pizzagate now. He probably understands it’s a conduit for the fake news purge, which means infowars could fall victim to it. Pizzagate won’t go anywhere – it’s not like they had testimonies from victims and medical reports showing evidence of sodomy, is it? For some reason I find it hilarious that Jones would drop pizzagate like a hot coal once he realises that the dreaded MSM has figured out, and is telling a very interested general public, that it’s fake news. As you say, I think the fake news purge is currently building up to tsunami strength, and sites like Jones’ will be swept away. The thought makes me smile. Let’s hope so EC! After looking at that Aussie Cult he was raised in, he looks like “Lebensborn” too! lol I never trusted him or anything that has “wiki” in it’s name, especially “wikipoet”!! hahaha I’ll bet that idiot “Sands” is conducting a “tunnel search” like the “sandy hoaxers” in the defunct Fairfield Hills Mental Asylum! Interesting discussion. I have read that a man was recently arrested for threatening a Labour MP on social media. If the threat was credible and real, and not just stupid banter, then yes, he should be held to account for his actions. But making a threat is not the same as actually carrying it out. Among other events, in the last twelve months, we have seen a political assassination – a brut

ego but not enough to disrupt your life. Whereas some people, my daughter being one of them, can’t go anywhere.” Robert Clary, November 16: Robert Clary, a French-born survivor of Nazi concentration camps during World War II who played a feisty prisoner of war in the improbable 1960s sitcom “Hogan’s Heroes,” died. He was 96. He remained publicly silent about his wartime experience until 1980 when, Clary said, he was provoked to speak out by those who denied or diminished the orchestrated effort by Nazi Germany to exterminate Jews. A documentary about Clary’s childhood and years of horror at Nazi hands, “Robert Clary, A5714: A Memoir of Liberation,” was released in 1985. The forearms of concentration camp prisoners were tattooed with identification numbers, with A5714 to be Clary’s lifelong mark. Nicki Aycox, November 17: Actress Nicki Aycox, known for her roles in “Supernatural” and “Jeepers Creepers 2,” died at the age of 47 after a battle with leukemia. Aycox played the original Meg Masters in the show “Supernatural,” a character who was possessed by a demon. Jason David Frank, November 20: Jason David Frank, who played the Green Power Ranger Tommy Oliver on the 1990s children’s series “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,” died at the age of 49. Neither the cause of death nor when exactly he died was released. Early in the first season, Frank’s Tommy Oliver was first seen as a villain, brainwashed by the evil Rita Repulsa. But soon after, he was inducted in the group as the Green Ranger and became one of the most popular characters on the show. Wilko Johnson, November 21: Wilko Johnson, the guitarist with British blues-rock band Dr. Feelgood who had an unexpected career renaissance after being diagnosed with terminal cancer, died at 75. Johnson helped give Dr. Feelgood a dangerous edge with his choppy, relentless guitar style and thousand-yard glare — a look terrifying enough to earn him a role later in life as silent executioner Ser Ilyn Payne on “Game of Thrones.” Irene Cara, November 26: Oscar, Golden Globe and two-time Grammy winning singer-actress Irene Cara, who starred and sang the title cut from the 1980 hit movie “Fame” and then belted out the era-defining hit “Flashdance … What a Feeling” from 1983’s “Flashdance,” died at the age of 63. The exact date of her death was not immediately revealed. Cara sang on the soaring title song with the chorus — “Remember my name/I’m gonna live forever/I’m gonna learn how to fly/I feel it coming together/People will see me and cry” — which would go on to be nominated for an Academy Award for best original song. Freddie Roman, November 26: Comedian Freddie Roman, the former dean of The Friars Club and a staple of the Catskills comedy scene, died of a heart attack. He was 85. He performed at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and Bally’s Grand in Atlantic City, and he roasted the likes of Rob Reiner, Chevy Chase, Jerry Stiller and Hugh Hefner. He also conceived of “Catskills on Broadway.” Donald McEachin, November 28: Rep. Donald McEachin, a Democrat representing Virginia’s fourth Congressional District since 2017, died after a battle with colorectal cancer. He was 61. Eachin’s chief of staff, Tara Rountree, said in a statement, “We are all devastated at the passing of our boss and friend, Congressman Donald McEachin.” Brad William Henke, November 29: Former NFL player and actor Brad William Henke died at 56. Henke was best known for his role in “Orange Is the New Black.” Henke’s career took him to the NFL before he found success acting, graduating from the University of Arizona, where he played defensive line, and joining the New York Giants in

Aycox played the original Meg Masters in the show “Supernatural,” a character who was possessed by a demon. Jason David Frank, November 20: Jason David Frank, who played the Green Power Ranger Tommy Oliver on the 1990s children’s series “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,” died at the age of 49. Neither the cause of death nor when exactly he died was released. Early in the first season, Frank’s Tommy Oliver was first seen as a villain, brainwashed by the evil Rita Repulsa. But soon after, he was inducted in the group as the Green Ranger and became one of the most popular characters on the show. Wilko Johnson, November 21: Wilko Johnson, the guitarist with British blues-rock band Dr. Feelgood who had an unexpected career renaissance after being diagnosed with terminal cancer, died at 75. Johnson helped give Dr. Feelgood a dangerous edge with his choppy, relentless guitar style and thousand-yard glare — a look terrifying enough to earn him a role later in life as silent executioner Ser Ilyn Payne on “Game of Thrones.” Irene Cara, November 26: Oscar, Golden Globe and two-time Grammy winning singer-actress Irene Cara, who starred and sang the title cut from the 1980 hit movie “Fame” and then belted out the era-defining hit “Flashdance … What a Feeling” from 1983’s “Flashdance,” died at the age of 63. The exact date of her death was not immediately revealed. Cara sang on the soaring title song with the chorus — “Remember my name/I’m gonna live forever/I’m gonna learn how to fly/I feel it coming together/People will see me and cry” — which would go on to be nominated for an Academy Award for best original song. Freddie Roman, November 26: Comedian Freddie Roman, the former dean of The Friars Club and a staple of the Catskills comedy scene, died of a heart attack. He was 85. He performed at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas and Bally’s Grand in Atlantic City, and he roasted the likes of Rob Reiner, Chevy Chase, Jerry Stiller and Hugh Hefner. He also conceived of “Catskills on Broadway.” Donald McEachin, November 28: Rep. Donald McEachin, a Democrat representing Virginia’s fourth Congressional District since 2017, died after a battle with colorectal cancer. He was 61. Eachin’s chief of staff, Tara Rountree, said in a statement, “We are all devastated at the passing of our boss and friend, Congressman Donald McEachin.” Brad William Henke, November 29: Former NFL player and actor Brad William Henke died at 56. Henke was best known for his role in “Orange Is the New Black.” Henke’s career took him to the NFL before he found success acting, graduating from the University of Arizona, where he played defensive line, and joining the New York Giants in

1989, according to his IMDB page. He would go on to play in Super Bowl XXIV with the Denver Broncos before he retired in 1994 after suffering a number of injuries. Christine McVie, November 30: Christine McVie, the British-born Fleetwood Mac vocalist, songwriter and keyboard player whose cool, soulful contralto helped define such classics as “You Make Loving Fun,” “Everywhere” and “Don’t Stop,” died at 79 after a short illness. McVie was a steady presence and personality in a band known for its frequent lineup changes and volatile personalities — notably fellow singer-songwriters Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham. Gaylord Perry, December 1: Baseball Hall of Famer and two-time Cy Young Award winner Gaylord Perry, a master of the spitball who wrote a book about using the pitch, died at the age of 84. Perry’s 1974 autobiography was titled “Me and the Spitter,” and he wrote it in that when he started in 1962 he was the “11th man on an 11-man pitching staff” for the Giants. He needed an edge and learned the spitball from San Francisco teammate Bob Shaw. Bob McGrath, December 4: Bob McGrath, one of the original cast members of Sesame Street, died peacefully at his home at the age of 90. McGrath joined Sesame Street as a founding cast member in 1969, playing the character of Bob Johnson. He would remain part of the cast for several decades before his retirement in 2016. Kirstie Alley, December 5: Kirstie Alley, a two-time Emmy winner whose roles on the TV megahit “Cheers” and in the “Look Who’s Talking” films made her one of the biggest stars in American comedy in the late 1980s and early 1990s, died after a brief battle with cancer. She was 71. In recent years she appeared on several other reality shows, including a second-place finish on “Dancing With the Stars” in 2011. She appeared on the competition series “The Masked Singer” wearing a baby mammoth costume earlier this year. Mills Lane, December 6: Mills Lane, the Hall of Fame boxing referee who was the third man in the ring when Mike Tyson bit Evander Holyfield’s ear, died at his home in Reno. He was 85. Lane suffered a stroke in 2002. Lane officiated more than 100 title fights, sharing the ring with greats such as Muhammad Ali, Larry Holmes and Lennox Lewis, and was respected for his fairness and toughness. Mills Lane was also a judge and district attorney, respected for his fairness and toughness — just as he was in the ring. Grant Wahl, December 9: American sports journalist Grant Wahl died while covering the World Cup in Lusail, Qatar. He was 48. American media said Wahl, known for his longtime writing for Sports Illustrated, was unable to be revived after falling ill while covering a match between Argentina and Netherlands. While Wahl said he tested negative for COVID-19, he was told he likely had bronchitis and was prescribed antibiotics and cough syrup. Wahl ended the statement explaining he felt “a bit better… but still: No bueno.” Gary Friedkin, December 9: Actor Gary Friedkin, known for his roles in such shows as “Happy Days” and “Young Doctors in Love,” died from COVID-19 complications in an Ohio hospice. He was 70. Friedkin was born in Ohio but eventually moved to Los Angeles and started his acting career, which also featured a role as an Ewok in the “Star Wars” trilogy. Paul Silas, December 11: Paul Silas — who touched the game of basketball as a player, coach and president of the National Basketball Players Association — died. He was 79. Silas began his career as a head coach with a three-year stint leading the then-San Diego Clippers starting in 1980. After spending more than a decade as an assistant, he returned to being a head coach and spent time with the Charlotte Hornets, the New Orleans Hornets, the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Charlotte Bobcats.

another evil. We cannot defend one freedom by trampling on the very freedoms we cherish. By all means (in fact it is your duty to) protect the rights of our precious children but don’t label me a paedophile simply because I’m a male.’ fantastic stuff from the author!! somehow we must use these examples as a springboard to further our cause. surely This issue has hit the news big-time! There was a Press Release from the Men’s Coalition: Fathers call on Kiro to resign “Fathers’ groups are demanding the resignation of Children’s Commissioner Cindy Kiro”, Kerry Bevin spokesperson, for the Men’s Coalition said today, following Kiro’s praise of Air New Zealand’s and Qantas’s policies of not allowing men to sit next to unaccompanied children. He also called for a public apology from the airlines in question. “Kiro is telling our children that men are dangerous to children, when in actual fact both women and men abuse children.” “She is teaching our children that irrational fear and hysterical hatred of one half of the population is acceptable.” “Kiro is not fit to be the Children’s Commissioner and must resign immediately”, concluded Kerry. Airlines ban men from sitting next to children Comments from National Party political correctness eradicator Wayne Mapp: “I think this is a gross over-reaction by the airlines. What do they think men are going to do that women won’t? It is the same as saying men shouldn’t sit beside children on a bus” . and Green MP Keith Locke: “I will be writing to the Human Rights Commission asking them to intervene to bring the two airlines to their senses,” he said. The airline needed to recognise that “men are people too”. “It is prejudicial to presume that men can’t be trusted to have contact with children unless they are related to them or are specially trained,” Mr Locke said. The ban went against progress that had been made in society where men now played a greater role in rearing their children — househusbands were more common — and engaging in play centre and school activities. The story spread to Australia: Airlines’ children policy ‘insane’ Dunedin-based clinical psychologist Nigel Latta, who has 15 years experience with sex offenders and victims, told NZPA he disagreed entirely with the policy. “I think it’s completely insane. It’s a crowded plane. For a start you’ve got to have someone who’s sexually interested in children who just happens by chance to get sat next to an unaccompanied child who then in a small, crowded airplane is going to molest a kid on a flight. “It’s insane. It’s political correctness and cautiousness gone made.” Latta said the policy was sending an “awful” message to society that “all men are pariahs”. Airlines’ no men near children policy slammed Celia Lashlie, author of He’ll Be okay: Growing Gorgeous Boys Into Good Men, and the Good Man Project, said she had “never heard so much nonsense in my life” as the Qantas and Air New Zealand policy. “There is enough of this mythology in New Zealand anyway. We’re operating on this idea that every man is a potential paedophile.” Ms Lashlie, who previously had 15 years working in New Zealand’s prison service, said it was entirely appropriate for men, and women, to speak to children on planes. “The thing I’m sad about is I watch in this current climate where so many boys are living away from their fathers, boys are thirsty for maleness.” A chat with “some bloke — a good man ” could be a valuable experience for either boys or girls, she said. “They’re painting the picture that planes are full of potential paedophiles. “My picture is that aeroplanes are full of good men moving up and down the country and there is a wonderful opportunity there,” she said. “New Zealand as a culture is starting to hide behind political correctness in order not to have to demonstrate moral courage and integrity.” Critics of airlines’ seating policy grow Stratford Primary School principal Kelvin Squire said the chronic shortage of male teachers could be blamed on a society that

But the culprit behind his distress came as a surprise: cannabis hyperemesis syndrome. By Tony DajerNov 12, 2020 3:20 PM (Credit: Kellie Jaeger/Discover) This Vital Signs column originally appeared in the December issue of Discover magazine as "Anything but Predictable." Support our science journalism by becoming a subscriber. Curled up in misery, the 50-year-old man croaked out a few words. “Still bad, doc.” The man’s chief complaint had been nausea and vomiting. His condition prompted my favorite doctor trick: Take someone sick as the proverbial dog — retching, defecating, cramping — pump in IV anti-nausea meds and a few bags of saline, steep a few hours, and voila! New person. Given the ubiquity of stomach viruses and food poisoning, we see these unfortunate cases every day. Admittedly, bad things like sepsis and bowel obstruction can trigger vomiting. But for such a dramatic symptom, it’s considered benign until proven otherwise. So when Brian didn’t get better, I took it personally. His blood pressure also had spiked and wasn’t coming down as expected. “I couldn’t take my blood pressure meds,” he explained, still clutching a large, condom-shaped vomit bag with a hard plastic rim. “Wouldn’t stay down.” He was on his third round of IV antiemetics, a class of drugs used to combat nausea and vomiting, as well as 2 liters of saline. “I can give you the blood pressure meds through the IV,” I suggested. His wife Diane, full of concern, piped up. “Oh, they’re not staying down, doc. I’ve never seen him this bad.” He had been hospitalized 10 days earlier for a similar episode — agonizing, unremitting vomiting that arrived out of the blue. High-dose antiemetics hadn’t touched that bout either. The puzzling intractability had triggered a soup-to-nuts workup: abdominal CAT scan, diagnostic testing for stool pathogens and a lab workup that measured everything but copper levels. After two days, he had cooled off. But now he was back. Laid Low “Aawrgh,” Brian moaned again. His faced swelled and his jaw worked in slow motion like a python unhinging its mandible. Finally, he dry-heaved into the bag, but that brought no relief. An hour later, the rest of his lab results were back. All were normal. “Any change?” I asked, walking back into his room. “He’s laid low,” his wife answered. “Let me reexamine you,” I said. Eyes shut, Brian unclenched his arms, unfolded his legs and rolled

ants in that they have a long hydrophobic chain that extends into the oil layer and a polar head-group that interacts with the aqueous layer. Examples of common emulsifiers include mustard, egg yolk, soaps, and other surfactants. Characterizing emulsions Emulsions are often perceived as something simple, macroscale that can be seen, felt, and even tasted but in reality it is the nanoscale properties of the droplets dispersed in an emulsion that are the main contributors to the emulsion’s bulk properties. Specifically, the size and charge of the emulsified droplets directly affect stability, taste, safety, look and feel, and function. Thus, it is critically important to be able to accurately and quickly measure these properties of emulsions. There are a number of scientific techniques useful for characterizing emulsions. Two of the most commonly used are dynamic light scattering (DLS), which measures the particle size and size distribution of the emulsified droplets, and electrophoretic light scattering (ELS) which measures the droplet charge/zeta potential. The droplet size of an emulsion is important to ensure the ideal look and feel of an emulsion as well as the required functionality such as the rate of drug delivery of an intravenous (IV) emulsion (Figure 1) or the dose uniformity of an inhaled drug. The zeta potential of an emulsion indicates the likelihood of the droplets to aggregate and is thus related to the overall stability of the emulsion. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) DLS enables the measurement of emulsion droplet size by irradiating the sample with a laser and analyzing the light that is scattered back out by the particles. This scattered light creates a speckle pattern on the detector which changes over time because the particles are moving via Brownian motion. The rate of change of the speckle pattern on the detector is related to how fast the particles are moving, which is related to the size of the particles. Intravenous drug delivery system The particle size within emulsions is critically important in many applications; one in particular is intravenous (IV) infusions. Drug delivery via IV is often necessary because many drugs are not stable enough to be taken orally or because they do not pass through the intestinal lining. To ensure the quality and safety of IV formulations, there are strict regulations related to the maximum particle size that can be present in IV drug formulations. Specifically, particles larger than 5 microns are considered a health risk. The DLS technique is able to measure particle sizes between 0.3 nm and 10 microns and thus is a useful technique for ensuring that IV formulations do not contain drug aggregates or contaminations from containers or storage materials. Figure 2 illustrates DLS data ensuring that there is a single population of droplet sizes and that they are less than 5 microns in diameter. Table 1 illustrates the flexibility of DLS to measure various emulsion concentrations in a highly reproducible way. Figure 2: DLS data confirming that an emulsion has a single particle size that is less than 5 microns Table 1: Hydrodynamic diameter and relative standard deviation for 3 emulsions and relative standard deviation for 3 emulsions To confirm the absence of unwanted larger particles, the emulsion was analyzed further at a scattering angle of 15°. The forward scattering at 15° is the optimal angle for a sample of small particles that may also contains a few larger particles such as aggregates or contaminants. Figure 3 shows DLS data measured in forward angle, confirming that no aggregates are present. Figure 3: DLS data confirming that unwanted particles are not present in an emulsion Electrophoretic light scattering (ELS) ELS, on the other hand, enables the measurement of an emulsion’s zeta potential or the effective charge of a droplet when dispersed. ELS functions by applying an electric field to the emulsion which causes the droplets, if charged, to migrate towards the oppositely charged electrode. The sample is irradiated with a laser and the light which is scattered by the particles is then detected. However, because the particles are moving by electrophoretic motion, the movement of the particle causes a Doppler shift (or frequency shift) in the scattered light that corresponds to the speed of the particles, known as electrophoretic mobility. The electrophoretic mobility is then correlated to the magnitude of the

The zeta potential of an emulsion indicates the likelihood of the droplets to aggregate and is thus related to the overall stability of the emulsion. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) DLS enables the measurement of emulsion droplet size by irradiating the sample with a laser and analyzing the light that is scattered back out by the particles. This scattered light creates a speckle pattern on the detector which changes over time because the particles are moving via Brownian motion. The rate of change of the speckle pattern on the detector is related to how fast the particles are moving, which is related to the size of the particles. Intravenous drug delivery system The particle size within emulsions is critically important in many applications; one in particular is intravenous (IV) infusions. Drug delivery via IV is often necessary because many drugs are not stable enough to be taken orally or because they do not pass through the intestinal lining. To ensure the quality and safety of IV formulations, there are strict regulations related to the maximum particle size that can be present in IV drug formulations. Specifically, particles larger than 5 microns are considered a health risk. The DLS technique is able to measure particle sizes between 0.3 nm and 10 microns and thus is a useful technique for ensuring that IV formulations do not contain drug aggregates or contaminations from containers or storage materials. Figure 2 illustrates DLS data ensuring that there is a single population of droplet sizes and that they are less than 5 microns in diameter. Table 1 illustrates the flexibility of DLS to measure various emulsion concentrations in a highly reproducible way. Figure 2: DLS data confirming that an emulsion has a single particle size that is less than 5 microns Table 1: Hydrodynamic diameter and relative standard deviation for 3 emulsions and relative standard deviation for 3 emulsions To confirm the absence of unwanted larger particles, the emulsion was analyzed further at a scattering angle of 15°. The forward scattering at 15° is the optimal angle for a sample of small particles that may also contains a few larger particles such as aggregates or contaminants. Figure 3 shows DLS data measured in forward angle, confirming that no aggregates are present. Figure 3: DLS data confirming that unwanted particles are not present in an emulsion Electrophoretic light scattering (ELS) ELS, on the other hand, enables the measurement of an emulsion’s zeta potential or the effective charge of a droplet when dispersed. ELS functions by applying an electric field to the emulsion which causes the droplets, if charged, to migrate towards the oppositely charged electrode. The sample is irradiated with a laser and the light which is scattered by the particles is then detected. However, because the particles are moving by electrophoretic motion, the movement of the particle causes a Doppler shift (or frequency shift) in the scattered light that corresponds to the speed of the particles, known as electrophoretic mobility. The electrophoretic mobility is then correlated to the magnitude of the

droplet’s charge in the emulsion. Emulsions in the pharmaceutical Industry The zeta potential of the droplets in an emulsion is related to the overall stability because particles that are highly charged (either positively or negatively) will repel each other in solution and thus be less likely to aggregate and eventually separate out of dispersion. On the other hand, droplets that are relatively uncharged or neutral are more likely to interact with each other rather than the solvent leading to larger particles or complete separation back into two phases. Thus, ensuring optimal droplet zeta potential is critical to ensure that the emulsion will be stable over time and that the droplet size doesn’t change or increase over the 5 micron limit. Emulsions are complex systems with a wide range of applications and commercial uses. Accurate characterization of emulsions, including the size and zeta potential of the dispersed droplets, is critical to ensure emulsion stability and performance. The Litesizer™ 500 instrument from Anton Paar is a useful tool for analyzing emulsions, offering a quick and accurate measure of both particle size and zeta potential. 1. Introduction to emulsions 2.

Emulsions in the pharmaceutical Industry Halo World Championship’s $2.5M prize pool is the largest in esports shooter history Mike Minotti@tolkoto Halo 5: Guardian's Warthog. Image Credit: Microsoft Halo’s greatest players are fighting for more than just bragging rights. Microsoft announced today that 16 teams from across the globe have earned a spot in the Halo World Championship, which features players competing in Halo 5: Guardians. The event has a prize pool of $2.5 million. The tournament will take place from March 18 to March 20 in Hollywood (although Microsoft has yet to announce an exact venue). According to Esports Earnings tracking site, this will be the seventh largest prize pool in esports history and the highest ever for a first-person shooter. While most of the popular esports games have a home on PC, Halo is perhaps the best example of a console hit having success in the esports maket, which will hit $463 million this year and $1.1 billion by 2019, according to Newzoo. That’s not surprising when you consider the franchise’s steady popularity throughout the 21st century. Halo 5 earned $400 million in its first week of sales alone. Here are the final 16 teams: Team Allegiance (North America) Counter Logic Gaming (North America) Evil Geniuses (North America) Team Liquid (North America) Noble eSports (North America) Renegades (North America) Triggers Pound (North America) Denial eSports (North America) Epsilon eSports (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) FabE (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) exceL (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) Team Infused (Europe, the Middle East, and Africa) Team Immunity (Australia) Team Exile5 (Australia) Skyfire (Asia) Chosen Squad (Latin America) Microsoft initially set the prize pool at $1 million, but it was raised via crowdfunding by fans through Halo 5: Guardians’ REQ system of in-game micro-transactions. Other tournaments, like Dota 2, have used similar crowdfunding methods to boost the prize pools for their world championships.

Carter and Saint Ryan disbanded. After finishing school, Saint Ryan drifted, unsure about his future. "I realized I had to focus on one thing," says Saint Ryan. "Then, everything started to move forward .... I was able to put all that energy into music." He started collaborating with old friend Kirsten Patches of Naked Aggression, revisiting the rough song ideas he had recorded over the years. The process clued Saint Ryan in to the incredible creative potential sparked by introducing a new musician's perspective. After briefly touring with Patches' band, Saint Ryan left, hungry for something different. He started envisioning his concept album, then began a painstaking recruitment process, powered by his charisma and a polite yet fearless "don't give a fuck" philosophy inspired by Keith Moon, legendary drummer for The Who. Pg.1 T4_Bio_1.08 Saint Ryan would later call on Patches and Carter to join T4 as vocalist and guest bassist. Saint Ryan racked his brains to pick the other musicians, scouring over biographies, mentally compiling a roster of bands, and hitting up friends for recommendations. First, Saint Ryan set about assembling the rhythm section. Drummer Trotsky of the Subhumans U.K. entered the picture when Saint Ryan and Patches, playing as Meet the Virus, opened for Subhumans (U.K.) in 2003. They lost contact, but Saint Ryan tracked down their tour manager and sent over a demo. A thrilled Saint Ryan heard back from the laconic drummer–"I got your tape, it's got some cracking tunes, and I'll put my sticks on it," he said. Trotsky then recommended Spike T. Smith, drummer for Morrissey, Conflict, and The Damned. The two drummers together formed the perfect contrast in Saint Ryan's eyes. "Spike is just one of those technical wizards on drums," says Saint Ryan, while "Trotsky is ... that real hard, driving force." Saint Ryan tracked down Bad Religion bassist Jay Bentley at a bar, via his band's tour manager. "I thought he was completely insane," laughs Bentley. Despite his initial skepticism, he never wrote off The T4 Project completely, putting in his two cents and four strings when called on, his incredulity eventually giving way to admiration. "I was really impressed. I'm proud to be part of it," says Bentley. Exactly how Saint Ryan and Tony Barber, Buzzcocks bassist, met is a question of fuzzy memories on both sides. Saint Ryan remembers contacting Barber by charming Southern Studios into passing on his info. Barber just remembers receiving the e–mail, then the hour–long conversations that ensued regularly. "I was one of the people he used as a bit of a sounding board," says Barber. Along the way, Saint Ryan scored a gig as a guitar tech for Strung Out, the California band fronted by Jason Cruz. Cruz eagerly joined the project as vocalist and lyricist, particularly because Saint Ryan represented a final connection to Jim Cherry, former bass player for Strung Out, who used to be Saint Ryan's neighbor and tragically passed away in 2002. "Shannon was the little punk rock kid that lived next door. He always had a lot of spirit," reflects Cruz. "He was just a talented kid." Cruz hit upon the idea to add on a keyboard part during a recording session with Saint Ryan. Smith suggested Paul Roessler, a keyboardist with a solid history who currently tours with Nina Hagen's band. Saint Ryan looked Roessler up online, shot out an e–mail, and soon signed him on. "It brought something really musical out of me," says Roessler about being part of the project. The T4 guitarists fell into place through a variety of different ways. The history with guitarist Fletcher Dragge also stretches years back, to when a young Saint Ryan, as a Pennywise fan, did some complimentary flooring work for Dragge. "I kept in contact with him over the years. He told me about The T4 Project and obviously, you know, he laid my carpet in my house for free, so I have to play on his record," deadpans Dragge. Beyond their shared past, Dragge loved the concept behind T4. "Shannon'

Moreover, if the validation set is very small compared to the training then by random the model fits better the validation set than the training.] A: There are a number of reasons this can happen.You do not shown any information on the size of the data for training, validation and test. If the

validation set is to small it does not adequately represent the probability distribution of the data. If your training set is small there is not enough data to adequately train the model. Also your model is very basic and may not be adequate to cover the complexity of the data. A drop out of 50% is high for such a limited model. Try using an established model like MobileNet version 1. It will be more than adequate for even very complex data relationships. Once that works then you can be confident in the data and build your own model if you wish. Fact is validation loss and accuracy do not have real meaning until your training accuracy gets reasonably high say 85%. A: I solved this by simply increasing the number of epochs A: This indicates the presence of high bias in your dataset. It is underfitting. The solutions to issue are:- * *Probably the network is struggling to fit the training data. Hence, try a little bit bigger network. *Try a different Deep Neural Network. I mean to say change the architecture a bit. *Train for longer time. *Try using advanced optimization algorithms. A: This actually a pretty often situation. When there is not so much variance in your dataset you could have the behaviour like this. Here you could find an explaination why this might happen. A: This happens when you use Dropout, since the behaviour when training and testing are different. When training, a percentage of the features are set to zero (50% in your case since you are using Dropout(0.5)). When testing, all features are used (and are scaled appropriately). So the model at test time is more robust - and can lead to higher testing accuracies. A: Adding dropout to your model gives it more generalization, but it doesn't have to be the cause. It could be because your data is unbalanced (has bias) and that's what I think.. A: I don't think that it is a drop out layer problem. I think that it is more related to the number of images in your dataset. The point here is that you are working on a large training Set and a too small validation/test set so that this latter is way too easy to computed. Try data augmentation and other technique to get your dataset bigger! A: I agree with @Anas answer, the situation might be solved after you increase the epoch times. Everything is ok, but sometimes, it is just a coincidence that the initialized model exhibits a better performance in the validation/test dataset compared to the training dataset. Q: Data returns array instead of an object Its probably some stupid mistake but tell me what am i doing wrong? I made it in 2 ways. * *In the first solution i send the data from my VsCode to the database and then retrieve it. *In the second solution i just send parsed json file as a resposne directly from VsCode folder. I want the data from the first solution return me an object (like in the 2nd solution) not an array. 1 solution: //IMPORTING TO DATABASE const questions = JSON.parse( fs.readFileSync(`${__dirname}/questions.json`, "utf-8") ); const importData = async () => { try { await Questions.create(questions); console.log("Data successfully loaded!"); } catch (err) { console.log(err); } process.exit(); }; //MODEL const mongoose = require("mongoose"); const questionsSchema = new mongoose.Schema({ beginner: [ { questionText: String, answerOptions: Array, }, ], intermediate: [ { questionText: String, answerOptions: Array, }, ], advanced: [ { questionText: String, answerOptions: Array, }, ], }); // RESPONSE const getAllQuestions = async (req, res, next) => { try { const data = await Questions.find(); res.status(200).json({ status: "success", data, }); } catch (err) { res.status(500).json({ status: "fail", message: err, });

ieves he has been “part of two teams that have won the two hardest championships in NBA history,” lumping this year’s victory with the Los Angeles Lakers inside the Orlando bubble into the same category as his Cleveland Cavaliers’ 3-1 comeback against a 73-win Golden State Warriors team. Granted, the bubble took its toll on everyone, both mentally and physically, but basketball-wise, this fourth ring was James’ breeziest yet. The 35-year-old got a four-month break from the season to recharge before riding the eight-game seeding schedule on auto pilot to the No. 1 overall seed. The Lakers were never tested in any of their four playoff rounds, trouncing the exhausted and injury-depleted Portland Trail Blazers, rolling the imploding Houston Rockets, avoiding the rival L.A. Clippers in the Western Conference finals and beating a fifth-seeded Miami Heat team that lost two of its three best players in Game 1 of the NBA Finals. The Lakers boasted the two best players in the bubble and avoided anyone who might have challenged them for that moniker. Kevin Durant and Stephen Curry played a total of five games last season. Giannis Antetokounmpo’s Milwaukee Bucks lost their rhythm. Damian Lillard rode his body into the ground. Russell Westbrook undercut James Harden’s Rockets. And Kawhi Leonard’s Clippers crumbled. Credit LeBron and his veteran Lakers for avoiding the momentum, chemistry and injury issues exacerbated by the bubble. The Lakers may have beaten all comers anyhow. Their mental toughness was unrivaled in a season rocked by the coronavirus pandemic, but they enter this campaign with a claim James has not been able to make since he played for the Heat: His roster is clearly the league’s most talented, bolstered by an offseason that better equipped it to beat any challenger at its best. So, yes, the Lakers will repeat as NBA champions. LeBron James smiles while holding the MVP and NBA Finals trophies after winning the 2019-20 NBA championship over the Miami Heat on Oct. 11, 2020. (Douglas P. DeFelice/Getty Images) All the Lakers needed last season were two competent role players alongside James and Davis to coast to the title without ever sniffing a Game 7. Rajon Rondo’s career resurgence and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope’s career postseason were enough to mask the inconsistencies of Danny Green, Kyle Kuzma, Markieff Morris, Alex Caruso and Dwight Howard — easily the worst supporting cast for which Green has been a headliner. According to Cleaning the Glass, the Lakers outscored opponents by 15.9 points per 100 possessions in non-garbage playoff minutes when James and Davis were on the floor, regardless of who played with them. That is absurd, all the more so when you consider JaVale McGee was in their most commonly used lineup. Before the shine wore off the franchise’s latest Larry O’Brien Trophy, Lakers vice president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka revamped the roster around his two superstars. He dealt for Dennis Schroder before signing Montrezl Harrell, Marc Gasol and Wesley Matthews. Schroder and Harrell alone would have been a coup. After all, they are respectively the winner and runner-up for the Sixth Man of the Year award. With Gasol and Matthews, they represent a significant collective upgrade over Rondo, Green and the big man tandem of Howard and McGee. Half a championship roster was swapped out for a better model. Both Caldwell-Pope and Morris re-signed. Kuzma is entering the final year of his rookie contract, but just agreed to a three-year extension. Many of those who played significant minutes on the Lakers’ title run, including Caruso, will be pushed further down the depth chart, where they belong. Let us be honest: Nobody but James and Davis could have led last season’s role players to a title, and they made it look easy. What might they do with a proper rotation?

. It remains to be seen whether the Clippers can reach their potential, even if Serge Ibaka may have been an upgrade over the outgoing Harrell. The Rockets are a mess. Warriors star Klay Thompson suffered another season-ending injury. The Denver Nuggets lost Jerami Grant from their starting lineup. The Lakers are in a tier of their own out West, and their potential challengers in the other conference are full of question marks. Pelinka’s offseason was so successful that it swayed James and Davis to sign long-term contract extensions in L.A. The only question left for them will be whether James can get to six rings, because Father Time is the only opponent standing between him and Michael Jordan now.

President-elect Joe Biden's incoming chief of staff said in a memo to reporters that Biden will cap a busy day of inauguration pageantry by using the powers of his new office to push policy changes on housing, student loans, climate change and immigration. The executive actions to be taken on Wednesday include rejoining the Paris climate accords, reversing a travel ban on several majority Muslim countries, extending a pause on federal student loan payments, halting evictions and foreclosures, as well as mandating masks in inter-state travel and on federal property. Most of the measures are a reversal of policies Trump pursued and do not require congressional action. But Biden will also unveil a long-expected immigration proposal that would provide a pathway to citizenship for millions of undocumented immigrants that does require congressional action. That measure, as well as Biden’s recent proposal for $1.9 trillion in spending on COVID vaccinations and economic stimulus, face uphill battles in a Congress narrowly controlled by Biden’s fellow Democrats. Incoming chief of staff Ron Klain said a broader set of executive orders will come in the days after inauguration. Those measures include expanding COVID-19 testing and directing the government to favor American-made goods. Moscow metro hires first women train drivers 3 January 2021, 1:46 pm ·1-min read The Moscow metro said Sunday it had hired female drivers for the first time in its recent history. The Moscow metro said Sunday it had hired female drivers for the first time in its recent history, following recent changes in controversial Russian legislation prohibiting women from many professions. The Russian capital's transport system, which oversees the sprawling metro system, said in a statement that "the first female electric train drivers in modern history started working for the Moscow metro." Built in the Soviet era as a Communist showpiece, the metro's trains were historically operated by men because the work was listed on the government's register of jobs deemed harmful for women's health. The ban on access for women to many professions was widely criticised and a labour ministry decree in September last year cut the number of exclusively male professions from 456 to around 100. The justification that driving metro trains was dangerous because it meant being underground for long periods came under fire because the metro also employs women as cleaners, cashiers and escalator monitors. The Moscow transport department said due to the automation of mechanical processes, operating trains is no longer "associated with heavy physical exertion". The previous register was approved in 2000 and banned women from mining and metalworking jobs, but also from positions like bus driver, sailor, parachutist, auto mechanic, and even maker of wind instruments. The new list that was due to take effect in 2021 opens many of these to females. Russ

rol fireball A number of teenagers had been instructed to burn unwanted car parts in a skip using petrol removed from old vehicles Updated 10:59, 29 JUL 2013 Redhill Magistrates' Court A breakers company has been fined after a 15-year-old employee was engulfed by a fireball, burning a quarter of his body, at a site near Salfords. Grublogger Ltd, based in Lower Kingswood, Tadworth, pleaded guilty to single breaches of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 at Redhill Magistrates' Court last Monday (July 22). The court heard how the teenager was burning scrap car parts at a site in Brookside Farm and used petrol as an accelerant in March 2012. He was engulfed by the fireball and left with serious burns to his face, neck, chest and arms when a skip used as a makeshift incinerator exploded. Another teenager suffered minor flash burns. An investigation by the Health and Safety Executive identified "serious concerns with systems and methods of work". Inspector Andrew McGill said: "This was a wholly preventable incident arising from a clearly dangerous practice that should never have been allowed. "Young people need careful management and proper supervision in the workplace, with the onus on dutyholders to provide additional protection because they inherently lack experience and maturity. "The training, instruction and supervision in this case were clearly inadequate in this regard." The court heard how the Jaguar spare part specialist traders rented a unit at Brookside Farm and was allowed by the landlord to use the skip as an incinerator. On the day of the fire, workers including a number of teenagers had been instructed to burn unwanted car parts in the skip using petrol removed from old vehicles. The 15-year-old had taken his shirt off before being caught up in the fireball. He was taken to a specialist hospital burns unit in Essex. The Health and Safety Executive told the court it was unnecessary to burn parts in this way and workers had no training and were "left to their own devices". "There was no need to use the skip as an incinerator, and if burning waste was the preferred method of disposal then it should have been done properly, using the proper equipment and with proper management and control measures," added Mr McGill. Grublogger Ltd was fined £23,000 and ordered to pay £5,113 in costs.

Besides, director Mukesh Chhabra and Sushant’s co-star Sanjana Sanghi, who keep on reminiscing the late actor through various social media posts, choreographer and director Farah Khan was also connected with the film. In her recent conversation with Times of India, she took a trip down the memory lane remembering all those times spent with Sushant on the sets of the film and how he nailed the entire song in just one shot. Farah disclosed that she had composed the dance sequences of Sushant in one of the songs from Dil Bechara and it was the final song the late actor filmed. She also added how Sushant had coaxed her into bringing home-cooked food in exchange for perfecting the entire dance sequence in just one take. Farah stated further that the song was indeed memorable because it was the first and the last time she got to choreograph Sushant. “I wanted the song to be done as a one-shot song because I knew Sushant would be able to do it perfectly because I remembered Sushant had once come to a reality dance show that I was judging as a celebr

West Bank under full Israeli civil and military control. Demolitions of Palestinian infrastructure and residences occur frequently in Area C, with the Jordan Valley’s Bedouin and herding communities being particularly vulnerable to such policies. Jericho’s mayor Majid al-Fityani called on legal institutions and NGOs, both locally and internationally, to intervene to force Israeli authorities to stop their daily violations against Palestinians, which he said "aim to create new reality" in the occupied Palestinian territory. Al-Fityani added that Israeli authorities were "delusional" in thinking that such measures will stop the residents and Bedouins in Jericho from "resisting and standing strong." In response to a request for comment, a spokesperson for the Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT), the Israeli agency responsible for enforcing Israeli policies in the occupied Palestinian territory, told Ma'an that a total of 15 structures were demolished in the area, due to their proximity to "the archaeological site of the Hasmonean palaces in Jericho." Israeli authorities regularly use archaeology to justify the demolition of Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) warned earlier this year that 46 Palestinian Bedouin/herding communities are "at risk of forcible transfer due to a coercive environment generated by Israeli policies and practices, which create pressure on many residents to leave their communities." Israeli authorities reportedly confiscated cattle and water tanks belonging to Palestinians in a remote Jordan Valley village on Tuesday, and agricultural machinery in the northern Jordan Valley region the day before that. Meanwhile, Israeli forces also demolished a Palestinian home in occupied East Jerusalem's Silwan neighborhood on Wednseday mornng, displacing eight Palestinians, including four children. Israeli settlement activity under full swing in Salfit Israeli bulldozers continue to raze Palestinian lands behind the apartheid wall north of Salfit in favor of illegal settlement expansion. Researcher Khaled Maali said the Israeli authorities and settlers have increasingly bulldozed Palestinian lands in the area since the start of 2017. He added that since the swearing-in of the new US administration, Israel’s illegal settlement activity has seen a striking upsurge, in violation of international laws and treaties. Israeli bulldozers raze residential building in Silwan Israeli bulldozers on Wednesday morning razed a residential building owned by Abu Farha family in Silwan town in Occupied Jerusalem at the pretext of lacking construction permit. Quds Press revealed that Israeli Special Forces escorted by policemen raided the town and besieged the building in Ras al-Amoud neighborhood. The forces were deployed in the vicinity of the two-floor house and on rooftops of adjacent houses. Mutasem Abu Farha, the owner, said in a previous statement, that he was handed a house-demolition order stipulating the evacuation of his home, where he and his brother are living along with their families, by last Tuesday. Israeli forces knocked down 11 different Palestinian facilities last month. They were all located in Mount Scopus, Beit Haneina, al-Issawiya, Silwan and Jabal al-Baba in addition to a wall of a cemetery in Occupied Jerusalem. Settlers cut down olive trees south of Nablus Extremist Jewish settlers Tuesday night cut down dozens of olive trees in Bourin town, south of Nablus city. The official in charge with the settlement file in the northern West Bank, Ghassan Daghlas, said that some fanatic settlers used chainsaws to cut down over 27 trees owned by a Palestinian woman, Ratiba Qadous, near the entrance to Yitzhar settlement. Palestinians are banned from accessing the area where the settlers’ attack took place for being close to the illegal settlement that was established over their lands.

nesday knocked down nine Palestinian homes in the West Bank region of Jericho. The demolition was carried out under the pretext of unlicensed construction. At the same time, the Israeli authorities seized a Palestinian agricultural vehicle in the northern Jordan Valley on claims that it was spotted inside a natural reserve. Israel’s demolition and confiscation policies, deemed illegal under international law, are punitive measures pursued by the occupation authorities as part of a larger scheme of ethnic cleansing against the native Palestinian inhabitants of the land. Israeli authorities seize cattle, water tanks in Jordan Valley Israeli occupation authorities on Tuesday afternoon confiscated cattle and water tanks belonging to Palestinian citizens in the northern Jordan Valley. Human rights activist Aref Daraghmeh told PIC reporter that officials from the so-called Nature Authority, accompanied by Civil Administration crews and an Israeli military force, broke into Um al-'Ubor area and confiscated a number of cows as well as dozens of water tanks. Daraghmeh pointed out that while Israeli authorities all ow settlers to freely herd their cattle in many of the Jordan Valley lands, Palestinian shepherds are prevented from entering them on the grounds that they are nature reserves. He called on human rights organizations to stand with the Palestinians living there and protect their property and livelihoods. IOA continues to bulldoze land west of Salfit The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) on Tuesday morning bulldozed another tract of Palestinian-owned land in az-Zawiya town, west of Salfit in the West Bank. The bulldozing activities are taking place behind the Israeli separation wall without the knowledge of the landowners, who can only have access to their plots of land a few times each year and with Israeli permits, according to local activist Khaled al-Maali. Maali affirmed the presence of similar active annexation and bulldozing activities in others areas of Salfit province and the West Bank, away from the media glare. He stressed that Israel’s settlement expansion activities violate the international humanitarian law and kill the Palestinian aspiration for establishing an independent, viable Palestinian state. Settlers seize 200 dunums of land in Masafer Yatta Jewish settlers on Monday evening set up a barbed wire fence on a vast tract of Palestinian-owned land in Masafer Yatta area, south of al-Khalil city in the occupied West Bank. Anti-settlement activist Rateb al-Jabur affirmed that soldiers helped settlers to deploy barbed wire along a large plot of land they annexed in Umm al-Khair area of Masafer Yatta. Jabur said that the seized area amounts to more than 200 dunums of land, belonging to the families of Hadhalin, Abu Humaid and Awad. He noted that there is an Israeli court verdict prohibiting the Palestinian and Israeli sides from carrying out any activity on that land. He described this new annexation of Palestinian land in Masafer Yatta as part of ongoing Israeli efforts to expand its settlements in the West Bank. Israel notifies 7 Palestinian facilities in OJ with demolition The Israeli municipal authorities in occupied Jerusalem issued Tuesday morning stop-work and demolition orders against seven Palestinian facilities in Issawiya town. Local follow-up committee member Muhammad Abu al-Hummus said that four Israeli patrols escorted the municipal crews during the raid. 15 Local sites were filmed while seven others were notified in the town, he pointed out. This came as part of the Israeli displacement policy against Jerusalemites aimed at ensuring Jewish majority in the holy city, the local activist added. Israel has repeatedly installed more settlement outposts in occupied Jerusalem to ensure the city can never be divided. Israeli bulldozers raze part of martyrs cemetery in Jerusalem Israeli Forces on Monday demolished part of a Muslim cemetery for burial of martyrs, near the historic wall of occupied Jerusalem in the vicinity of al-Asbat gate. The head of the committee for the preservation of Islamic cemeteries in Jerusalem, Mustafa Abu Zahra said, in a press statement, that Israeli bulldozers broke

’s still time left over before U2 comes out, I’ll finish HL2 Episode 2. I hope you won’t be too quick to swear off Uncharted 2 multiplayer! I know you’re not an online shooter guy, but if it’s as fun as the initial buzz suggests, then there should be plenty of fun to be had even by the sucky… Fuck. I just remembered that Uncharted 2 and Brutal Legend come out on the same day. I’ll buy both, but how am I supposed to choose one to play first??? Jervo: 1. You are indeed near the end of Batman. But I would make preparing for U2 your highest priority. 2. I tried the U2 multiplayer demo last night for a few minutes; it’s definitely U2 multiplayer. As combat is my least favorite part of Uncharted in general, I’m not entirely sure how much time I’m ultimately going to spend with it (especially since my bluetooth headset doesn’t always work), but it’s solid and clearly no joke. If you’re so inclined, I’d say you should download it when you get home, and maybe we can try it out together before getting DiRTy. 3. I’ve preordered both U2 and BL, and having played the BL demo already, I think my choice is clear; I’m playing U2 first. I liked the BL demo, although I’d already seen most (if not all) of it already – it’s more or less what they showed at E3. And I must admit that I’m not as excited about BL as I feel I ought to be. The more I hear about it and how it changes from a GoW action game to more of an Overlord-type RTS, I get a little… I don’t know… nervous. U2, on the other hand, is right in my sweet spot; that’s the sort of game I want to be playing right this second. Gred: I’m super excited about BL. I totally trust Double Fine. Psychonauts certainly wasn’t perfect, and parts of it were tedious, but it was all wrapped in such a terrifically imagined world with such outstanding writing that I was able to forgive a lot. I don’t expect BL to be the be-all end-all in terms of its gameplay, plus I’m beginning to wish Jack Black had never become involved, though that has admittedly provided a good visibility boost which should help sales. But until Double Fine fails me I will buy their games on day one, RTS elements and all. So that’s why the strategy stuff doesn’t make me nervous as far as my own enjoyment of the game. But it does worry me from a potential sales standpoint… A game based on an original IP that doesn’t lend itself to easy categorization could find itself in limbo at retail. Not that Double Fine should kowtow to the mainstream 100%, but Lord knows they could use a hit. That said, I probably will play U2 first. Seems like U2 lends itself more to burning through the single player campaign in a fevered rush, whereas I could see myself taking my sweet time with BL. Jervo: I’m an old-school Jack Black fan; I am generally embarrassed whenever he appears in anything these days (except for Tropic Thunder) but I loved Tenacious D before it was cool to do so, and everything I’ve seen of BL confirms that it was a perfect casting choice. (I was going to say something snarky here about how voice acting’s impact on gameplay is less than negligible, but that’s not necessarily true; it’s only true when it’s obvious that 90% of the development budget went towards the voice acting. Frankly, one of the things that made the first Uncharted so endearing was the quality of the voice acting, and all the reviews indicate that U2 is even better in that regard.) I’m sure BL will be enjoyable, and I’ve already ordered it, so I feel like I’ve done my part in terms of supporting DoubleFine. It’s just that, well, U2 is going to be jaw-dropping. Gred: Dunno if you saw that Action Button reviewed the first Uncharted: http://www.actionbutton.net/?p=607. I haven’t read it yet, but I assume it’s a great read! Jervo: I told you

Embarcadero Technologies today unveiled a new development platform designed to allow C++ developers to target multiple devices, including desktops, laptops and tablets. C++Builder XE3 implements a new native compiler architecture that supports development on both Windows 8 and Mac OS X PCs, and the company plans to add support for Android ARM mobile devices in 2013. The new platform makes it possible for developers to deliver applications natively to diverse devices via a common code base. With this release, the company is responding to the expanding diversification of client devices, which Embarcadero SVP of marketing Michael Swindell describes as "a seismic event with tremendous implications for software developers." "The question for developers today is how to deliver applications across multiple devices including Windows, Mac, iOS and Android without compromising performance and user experience or radically increasing development time and cost," Swindell said in a statement. "This is the problem and opportunity driving our reinvention of the C++ platform. With C++Builder XE3, developers can build once and deploy natively across multiple platforms. As we add additional platforms to the solution, the benefit to the developer will continue to increase." C++ doesn't grab the headlines generated by Java or the latest dynamic scripter, but it's one of the leading development languages for commercial client and server software. The list of applications and system written in C++ includes Mac OS X, iOS, Oracle database, Microsoft's Word and SQL Server, MySQL, Adobe Photoshop, and the Chrome and Firefox browsers. C++Builder is a rapid application development (RAD) environment that was originally developed by Borland. It was initially a Windows dev platform. C++ Builder XE3 comes with a new 64-bit compiler architecture designed to provide "some of the best C++11 language standards and library compliance in the industry," the company says. The compiler architecture "generates applications that can utilize more memory and data, and directly access 64-bit APIs, device drivers and system services, enabling developers to create higher performance, more capable and more powerful applications," the company says. This release also includes an updated visual component library (VCL) for existing C++Builder customers that enables rapid 64-bit updates for millions of existing Windows applications. The company is underscoring the new platform's support for Windows-8-style user interface development for desktop applications, and its ability to support development of Mac apps that exploit the Retina Display. The new dev platform is available now. More information is available here. Description: This pool table on the cruise ship Radiance of the Seas uses gyroscopic leveling to keep the pool table level during rough seas. This design solution could be used to start a unit on waves. After learning more about the amplitude, wavelength and energy of waves students could attempt to build a similar solution of their own. Description: The Rubens' tube was invented by German physicist Heinrich Rubens in 1905. It is a tube that is sealed at both ends in includes a flammable gas like propane. A speaker is attached to one end of the tube so sound waves can be transmitted thought the air/gas mixture. Small holes are drilled in the top of the tube and when the air/gas mixture emerges it creates a flame. As sound is played standing waves are created in the flames that change as the frequency of the waves is changed. Description: In this amazing demonstration researchers are able to extract audio from the video of an object (a plant, an empty bag, etc.) in the same room as the sound. The sound waves vibrate the object which is made visible through tiny movements processed with a graphic algorithm. This could be used as a phenomenon in a unit on sounds, waves, and information. Description: Daniel Kish lost his eyes to cancer before he was 13 months old. He uses echolocation by listening to the reflection of sound waves to navigate in 3D space. He can even ride a bicycle. In addition to being an incredible story of perseverance this is a perfect phenomenon for a unit on waves. Sound waves are reflected, absorbed, and transmitted through objects in the environment and Daniel can sense the changes in energy of the returning waves.

, and crystallize everything into a new paradigm for design methodologies that fully exploits the potential of new process technologies. This workshop also aspires to become the springboard for a renewed innovation surge in EDA, which is necessary for maintaining the competitive edge and the continued growth of the entire semiconductor sector. The unique opportunity of having industrial and academic partners address this essential issue concurrently will result in new directions not only for academic research but also for design teams that are eager to maximize the benefits of their next tapeout. The BSIM EKV public workshop will convene all the BSIM and EKV researchers as well as the experts from the industry to contribute to the workshop to give an update on the latest status of BSIM6 and EKV (and eventually other models as well) to the modeling and designer community. The event will be followed by an internal workshop reserved to the BSIM and EKV teams for discussion and preparation of a workplan for the next year. See more details on project page. With a history stretching back nearly 60 years, the IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) is the world’s pre-eminent forum for reporting technological breakthroughs in the areas of semiconductor and electronic device technology, design, manufacturing, physics, and modeling. IEDM is the flagship conference for nanometer-scale CMOS transistor technology, advanced memory, displays, sensors, MEMS devices, novel quantum and nano-scale devices and phenomenology, optoelectronics, devices for power and energy harvesting, high-speed devices, as well as process technology and device modeling and simulation. The conference scope not only encompasses devices in silicon, compound and organic semiconductors, but also in emerging material systems. IEDM is truly an international conference, with strong representation from speakers from around the globe. Jürgen Brugger of SelfSys is on the committee for Detectors, Sensors and MEMS. Switzerland has already many activities in the E-print field, but they are not coordinated to allow further advances and improvements, both for academia and for research centers and industries. Organizing the Swiss E-Print workshop will allow active professionals to identify potential complementary partnership in this upcoming manufacturing discipline that spans across several disciplines from tools, ink materials, surfaces, chemistry & physics, electronics and optics, among others. More details are available on the E-Print page and on the conference website. Nico de Rooij of CabTuRes, LiveSense and PATLiSci will be taking part. This is a unique Conference at the frontiers of both Micro- and Nano- technologies, with a special emphasis on Biological, Chemical and Medical applications. Stéphanie Pasche of TecInTex and Janos Vörös of NanoWireSensor are keynote speakers. The VII. International Conference on Electronics, Circuits and Systems aims to bring together academic scientists, leading engineers, industry researchers and scholar students to exchange and share their experiences and research results about all aspects of Electronics, Circuits and Systems, and discuss the practical challenges encountered and the solutions adopted. The WIMEMS workshop in Neuchâtel is a part of the International NAMIS Autumn School 2011 that will be carried out from 12th September to 16 September at three locations: IMT - Neuchâtel in Switzerland 12 - 13 September, Arc-et-Senans in France 14 September and FEMTO-ST - Besançon in France 15 - 16 September. Futher details about the Swiss dates of this Nano-Tera event are available on the WIMEMS-School page and on the EPFL Namis page. This conference series will bring together researchers working on all aspects of the subject (both theoretical and experimental) and support the building of a research community in Quantum Cryptography. The conference will also feature tutorials on the subject and thus provide a teaching function and help recruit junior members to the field. Please find more information about this project on the QCrypt ED project page and on the conference website. ESSDERC and its sister conference ESSCIRC are governed by a single Steering Committee. The increasing level of integration for system-on-chip design made available by advances in silicon technology is stimulating more than ever before the need for deeper interaction among technologists, device experts, and

SC that morning to fly to Denver. On the way I changed planes in Chicago, and I ran into a guy who looked about as anxious as I felt. I went over to ask if he was going to the Academy and he said he was, so we made the rest of the trip together. The funniest part of this was that this guy was John Charlton, who was in my BCT squadron (Guts) and who ended up being my roommate (along with Mickey Clemons) in CS-26 first semester. We got to Denver and for some reason decided to take a taxi from there to the Academy. It cost a fortune and we were still late and it took me a while to pay John back for my half, since the money I had on me probably ran out about 1/4 of the way there. We got to the "Bring me Men" ramp and lost our civilian clothes, our hair, got some great new USAFA t-shirts, and started the journey. That night I was eating in Mitchell Hall with a bunch of other Guts guys and some "real" Cadets (I found out later they were the class of '74) stopped by the table to tell us to eat up, since it was probably our last meal. The next day was a blur to me, along with the week or so after that, but I had a good guy for a BCT roommate – Charlie Parsons – and somehow I managed not to get killed or sent to K squadron. 2nd BCT for me was a lot better than 1st. I enjoyed the Valley except for the tear gas. I enjoyed shooting at the rifle range, the obstacle courses, even the pugil sticks. I liked land navigation even though the night problem we did was during such a hard rain that it wasn't quite as much fun as it would have been on a nice dry night. Probably my best BCT memory was lying in the grass at night watching a movie (I have no idea what the movie was). At least at that point it was just a really great camping trip. I think often about being there and sometimes have wondered if it was real. It was so long ago, and for me ended after one year, and so much has happened since then. I really enjoy reading the email updates from classmates – whether I knew them or not. Thanks for keeping everybody together this way, and thanks for letting us non-grads be part of the group. I thought about 5 July 1971 earlier today when I heard a golden oldies radio program mention the top 5 songs on 5 July 1971 – I thought back to where I was that day and remembered how starry-eyed I was as I saw the Academy reservation and the Cadet Area for the first time. I remember thinking I would never want to leave such a magnificent place – then two days later I was ready to get the heck out of there! 37 years ago today, we took a momentous step that forever altered the direction or our lives. Only 1404 young American men were given the unique challenge and opportunity of entering the Air Force Academy with the Class of 1975. For all 1404 of us, those first few days are certainly ineluctably seared into our memories. I had absolutely no clue what was ahead of me this day 37 years ago. I was both scared and excited. I was proud to be the first in my family to make it to college – but the prospect of attending a military institution and undergoing a curriculum shared by only the service academies (and seen by me in bits and pieces in movies) had me bewildered and more than a little shaken – especially with the thought that being screamed at by total strangers was a strong possibility. But I figured that after the first day, the yelling would stop, life on campus would settle into a routine, and I'd wear the parade uniform that I saw in the high school propaganda film (minus the falcon resting on the arm) to classes, and to town in the evenings. As I said, I had no clue. When that M-80 went off behind us, and the newly arrived BCT cadre (in shiny and impressive Service Alpha) ran through us in ranks, I could only hear the loud pulsing and thrumming of my bloodstream in my ears, and the muffled chaos of every upperclassman around us suddenly gone mad and fully intent on killing each and every one of us violently, in public, and in thoroughly horrible fashion. I knew at that point that I was in the

I knew at that point that I was in the

wrong place – that I wanted to be somewhere else – and if it was possible to shrink and become invisible, I'd do it. I remember imagining nothing could be more frightening than waiting for an upperclassman to eventually get to me as they worked themselves down the line. For a minute, it seemed time had slowed down and everyone was in slow-motion. Until one of those upperclassmen reached me. I don't remember what it was he yelled at me – I remember I squeaked in response. That only seemed to make him angrier. I squeaked again – I was so scared, my voice was 2 octaves higher than normal. After an eternity of saying "Yes sir!" until I got my 19-year old voice back, I ended up running in place, getting my arms parallel to the ground, and being yelled at to get my knees up higher and higher. I thought my heart would burst out of terror. After a few minutes (which my time sense registered as forever), it was all over. We were called to attention, and we all fell back into ranks. I looked straight ahead and locked every bone in my body – there was no way I was going to catch another upperclassman's attention. Our BCT squadrons were finally dismissed and our new Element Leader and Element Sergeant either marched us to the meal or back to our rooms. That was the first day of a journey that for me at the time was both unrelentingly awful and incomprehensible. But that journey had its milestones – milestones that gave me a sense of accomplishment and exhilaration. 1. The transition from 1st BCT to 2nd BCT (where my squadron, GUTS, was top squadron, just edging out F Troop). 2. The end of 2nd BCT with the civilized march back from Jack's Valley. 3. The Acceptance Parade when we became members of the Cadet Wing and got our shoulder boards. 4. Spirit Missions during football season. 5. Recognition, when we got our prop & wings (April 15, 1972, tax day, the earliest to date back then that doolies got recognized). 6. Watching '72 graduate, knowing I'd get 3-degree shoulder boards. 7. (2-degree year was a blur to me though . . . except for buying the car). 8. Getting my firstie shoulder boards after '74 graduated. 9. Sitting in Falcon Stadium and waiting for the order, "Gentlemen, you are dismissed!" I entered the Academy on this day in 1971 on my 19th birthday. What a birthday present! Thanks for the memories! Since you asked ....... We've all heard of 4H Clubs but few have experienced (or perhaps even heard of) the 6H Club. The 6H Club would hold meetings on a dry, dusty patch of soil and rock in Jacks Valley usually about 5 minutes after the evening meal. I met there frequently during the summer of '71 with other charter members. The 6H Club you may ask ...... Happy Harry's Hellacious Horizontal Half Hour. The members of this elite club thought of adding a 7th "H" for "Hurling" but decided not to because, on occasion, not all of us had the pleasure of tasting our meal twice during the meeting! Breaaaaaaaddddddyyyy! Hi, Al. I have great memories of you and the time I spent at USAFA. I still remember at BCT when your squadron trotted onto the "intramurder" field to play mine ("I" Squadron - Invaders), and hearing y'all chant in cadence, "Invalids squat to pee, Invalids squat to pee!" Jim Carlson was not the last one accepted to USAFA for our class. I also received my appointment just two weeks prior to showing up July 4th in Colorado Springs. I cannot in good faith claim last appointed to our class though. I know there was at least one classmate (Fred Basin) who was enrolled, head shaved, etc., at West Point when his appointment to USAFA came through. He wasted no time getting to Colorado. Ted's version of my journey is mostly correct – I didn't get my head shaved at the Point – but the rest is true enough. The Point was starting before the 4th of July weekend and we started

LDAP support is disabled by default, but it can be enabled and configured by modifying the proper section in the config/config.yml file. Even if users are authenticated through the LDAP server, Portus needs to store them in its database in order to perform all the interaction with the registry.

The name of the personal namespace will not be the same as the username if the name contains characters that are not accepted for namespaces. For example, if a user with an LDAP username mssola tries to login, this same user will have mssola as a personal namespace. However, if a user is named username$, then this user can login with that username, but the personal namespace will be username.

When Bryan Dubé and his wife, Carolynn, had trouble conceiving in their mid-30s, it was a “shock to the system,” especially when they found out that a low sperm count was the problem. “We had just gotten married and a thousand things were going through my mind: Will we stay married? Will she leave me? What’s going to happen to our relationship?” he recalls. From that point on, their experience mirrors what many of the one in six Canadian couples who face infertility go through when they struggle to conceive. They paid more than $10,000 for a round of in vitro fertilization (IVF) in 2012 that was unsuccessful, plus hundreds more to freeze more eggs. The following year brought better luck and they welcomed a son in 2013, but the journey took a toll on their relationship, their finances and their sense of self. “It’s hard for a man to express what he’s going through and say ‘I’m the problem,’” says Dubé. While there’s definitely more awareness about the hardships that accompany infertility, what’s less commonly discussed is that male infertility, specifically, is on the rise. A robust meta-analysis of studies published in Human Reproduction Update last year shows that sperm counts have been in a free fall in Western countries, dropping 52.4 percent from 1973 to 2011. The authors found this decline consistent with other research in male reproductive health, and when they limited the studies to those published since 1995, they saw an even steeper decline. How Easy Is It (Really) To Get Pregnant After 40? There are many reasons for this rise, says Leader, who has helped couples conceive since 1981, first as co-founder of the IVF clinic at Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary and then as a professor of obstetrics, gynecology and medicine at the University of Ottawa and co-founder of the Ottawa Fertility Centre. First of all, men are waiting longer to have kids. And while headlines consistently focus on women’s biological clocks and the risks involved with getting pregnant over the age of 35, there is a persistent myth that virility stays high in men until they are much older. In truth, as men age, their sperm quality (including the shape and movement of the sperm) declines. Their “best-before date,” as Leader puts it, is 40. Even if their partners are younger, it can be more difficult for couples to conceive and studies have also shown a link between advanced paternal age and a greater risk of children developing autism. He compares the scale of the problem to that of climate change — an issue right in front of us that people would rather fix with technology, rather than explore the root cause. So why is no one talking about it? While men are overstudied in nearly every medical specialty, infertility is an area where experts say the opposite is true. This, in part, has led to the perception that men are less likely to be the “problem partner.” Experts say there’s also the assumption that impotence is the main symptom of infertility, which simply isn’t true. Sperm count, shape and movement, along with blockages in various places like the testicles and vas deferens, can interfere with fertility but not necessarily the ability to have an erection. She suspects more pervasive ideas tied to masculinity are behind the lack of research, education and awareness of infertility among men. She spent seven years shadowing infertility doctors across the United States, their patients and their partners for her book, and one of her stark observations was that most women have an ob-gyn who focuses on their reproductive health, but most men don’t. All of this adds up to a kind of obvious reality: Men simply don’t expect that they’ll be the problem when trying to conceive, says Barnes. That also means they may not get the emotional support they need when they find themselves in that situation. Devin Leslie and

HIPAA turns 20, and there’s no reason to celebrate By Tom Furr In 1996, The Spice Girls were at the top of the pop music charts. DVDs had just been launched. The number of Internet host computers increased from 1 million to 10 million. And the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) was passed into law. Now, 20 years later, two of the Spice Girls launched a website that celebrates the group’s two decade’s worth of “girl power.” A DVD is more likely used as a coaster for a cold drink than as an entertainment medium, and the number of host computers on the world wide web is well over 1 billion. And, most unfortunately, we’re still struggling with HIPAA. When the law was enacted, its aim was to limit exposure or disclosure of personal information and enhance communications between doctor and patient. However, it was created well in advance of the ubiquitousness of the Internet, smartphones and social media platforms. In 1996, most if not all medical records were in paper form, the concept of data mining was a sparkle in the mind of a computer scientist, and the business of sifting through data to better analyze and predict was not yet conceived. The collective view people hold about privacy also has changed. In large measure, this shift has come about because so much of our lives are now “done” online, from taking classes to banking to buying cars to reviewing the results of a medical examination. Still, there appears to be a slew of problems surrounding HIPAA. Among them includes what is or isn’t “HIPAA-compliant,” and to say this is a “gray area” would be an understatement. Curiously, as much as compliance interpretation is vague at best, nothing has been done to adjust the law to reflect the world in which we live. This is in contrast to PCI (Payment Card Industry) compliance, which is black and white with a pass or fail grade. 6 steps to surviving a HIPAA audit The HHS Office for Civil Rights this year will conduct audits of HIPAA covered entities and business associates to assess organizations’ compliance with the privacy, security and breach notification rules. This includes about 200 desk audits and 24 more comprehensive on-site visits, according to Hayes Management Consulting. But there are ways providers can properly prepare, according to Hayes Management. For example, it apparently is quite easy for third parties to access hordes of data about patients of a certain type being treated for a particular health issue as long as those profiles are “anonymous.” In stark contrast, despite HIPAA's protections, there is no standard set of steps consumers can follow to get their information from hospitals which is a very real transparency imbalance.

5 percent of France’s GDP by 2050. Understandably, you’d say, “but America isn’t France.” Well, according to McKinsey & Company, healthcare as a percent of US GDP could be 35 percent by 2050. The need to get costs under control globally is intense. McKinsey also notes that developed countries like ours face a twofold challenge in healthcare; improving quality and financial sustainability. Management consultants suggest that digitization can help health systems achieve both objectives and unlock substantial value through lower spending and superior healthcare delivery. They point out that one large OECD country estimated that implementing existing digital technologies could reduce its healthcare expenditure between 7 percent and 11.5 percent. Those cost-savings would be achieved using three methods: Seamless data and information exchange Advanced analytics and transparency The enthusiasm shown on the operational side of healthcare to embrace digitalization is akin to that of a person allergic to bee stings standing amidst beehive huts. Anything that has occurred in the last 20 years that involves technology has been met with significant kicking and screaming. In fact, the move from paper to electronic health records wouldn’t have occurred, in all likelihood, were it not for the passing and signing of legislation and the resultant large payments from government. By contrast, other large industries such as banking realized the need for automation to drive down cost and enable scalability back in the 1980s, without the need for government to pay or set laws to drive adoption. Also see: HIT Think HIPAA turns 20: Why it’s an effective law for healthcare The case for efficiency attained with automation in healthcare business operations is compelling, yet maddeningly difficult to achieve. Let’s circle back to the rise of healthcare as a factor of GDP. Brought to a level all of us can appreciate, 25 percent of GDP translates to one-quarter of a household’s budget going against that cost. Layer on top of that the emergence of high-deductible health plans, which shift as much as half of the financial responsibility to the consumer, and the argument to employ digital, online, user-friendly services becomes overwhelming. Despite this preponderance of evidence, healthcare continues to operate, business-wise, like it’s 1966, not even 1996, let alone 2016. For example, 87 percent of all bills issued by healthcare providers today are in paper form. Just about every other industry asks its customers to go “paper-free” for the obvious benefits to them and convenience of their patrons. Not healthcare. HIPAA is a law that was conceived at a time when paper flow was the predominant workflow. That it hasn’t been adapted to the times is unfortunate. However, to realize meaningful process improvements, real automation efficiencies, in areas like human resources, scheduling, logistics and billing, among others, much of what’s needed is already in place or can be easily bolted on without incurring any capital expenditure by way of a cloud-based service.

Arson suspected in fire at Israeli-run refugee school in Greece By Ben Harris March 10, 2020 11:41 am A scene inside a class at the International School of Peace for Refugee Children on the Greek island of Lesbos. (Screenshot from YouTube) (JTA) — A school for refugees started by Jewish and Arab Israelis was burned down over the weekend in what administrators say is a suspected case of arson. The International School of Peace for Refugee Children on the Greek island of Lesbos was destroyed in the fire on Saturday night. In a statement, the school said the blaze was a suspected case of arson, The Times of Israel reported. “Even though we are heartbroken and shocked, we’re already looking ahead,” the school wrote Tuesday on Facebook. “We are moving forward, not going anywhere.” Founded in 2017, the school is a collaboration between alumni of the Hashomer Hatazir and Ajyal youth movements. More than 3,000 refugees have come through its doors since it opened, according to the school’s website. The blaze comes at a moment of rising tension on Lesbos, the first European point of entry for many refugees fleeing unrest. Clashes on Saturday between migrants and local police left two migrants dead, The Times of Israel reported. “The school was burnt down last night but its strong foundation comes from the tens of thousands of people who passed through its gates, shaped its image, built it together for a better future,” the school wrote on Facebook. “The school belongs to all who decide to lift their heads up high, to cling to hope and act, the school belongs to us: students and teachers, people from Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Israel, Iraq, Kurdistan, Congo, Somali, Ghana, and Angola who decide day by day to shatter the walls of fear between us, hold hands and work together for peace.” Jewish philosopher Emmanuel Levinas is honored in a Lithuania still grappling with the Nazi era By Cnaan Liphshiz January 19, 2022 4:37 pm 27% of religious hate crimes in Sweden target its tiny Jewish community Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla awarded Genesis Prize for work developing coronavirus vaccine A Jew betrayed Anne Frank’s family, cold-case investigators conclude Prince Charles commissions Holocaust survivor portraits for Buckingham Palace The Unspeakable Castillo Murders

: All’s Not Well That Ends Not as Badly as It Could Have Richard E. Vatz Amy Castillo makes a fair argument when she says that she must forgive her ex-spouse for his horrible murdering in a Baltimore hotel bathtub of their 3 children, Athena, 2, Austin, 4 and Anthony, 6. She says that otherwise the “bitterness” and “resentment” would consume her life. That is the only argument for forgiveness and one that could convincingly be made only by a mother of the victims in this drama. But Mrs. Castillo’s personal forgiving need not affect the other citizens of Maryland. Mark Castillo, Amy’s ex-husband, demonstrated indisputably the premeditation of his crimes when he described his meticulous murderous behavior beginning with his booking a hotel room in Baltimore via the Internet to facilitate the killings. There he held his struggling, terrified children under water for 10 minutes to guarantee their dying. Furthermore, respecting his uncomplicated, evil, knowing intent, Castillo in a tape-recorded confession detailed his careful planning of the crimes and, according to The Washington Post, “said he thought about the killings for months and that before he killed the children, he spent at least 24 hours planning how to do it…” Castillo’s motive was not unusual: the Post references his apprising authorities of his desire to make his wife suffer and telling her before the murders that losing her children was the most effective way to create misery for the woman with whom he had had a 21-month custody battle. It is not clear why the death penalty was not sought, as this case is preeminently qualified for such a punishment. In January of this year, Castillo filed an insanity plea which followed an initial such filing and a public request by the murderer to plead guilty and be executed. Judges, notoriously credulous concerning psychiatric explanation and exculpation of horrible murderers, especially if committed by unconventionally acting killers – Castillo read passages from the Bible in court and tried to commit suicide, behaviors that seem “crazy” to some judges — almost invariably have a soft spot for such vile cretins. In this case Baltimore City Circuit Court Judge Wanda K. Heard, who wisely said she was convinced Castillo knew what he was doing when he committed the killings, not so wisely recommended that Castillo serve his 3 consecutive life terms at Patuxent Institution, a mental health correction institution in Jessup, Maryland. Insanity verdicts are too plentiful, even if relatively uncommon. There are limits to the educating of judges who cannot believe that there are simply evil people in the world.

dissenters away. And opposition elsewhere on the internet is sought out and attacked via board invasions, wiki-wars, 'sock puppets', and even occasional legal threats. Interested parties even moderate other boards on similar topics, with members of both holding the party line elsewhere. And let's not forget, of course, that even SW authors are attacked and maligned across the internet if they fail to subscribe to SDN views. And this, so we're told, is consensus of opinion. I think not. Even if one thinks consensus is important, one does not build it by such action. Ancient kings might've built a consensus that divine right existed, but they did so by slaughtering those who disagreed. That's not consensus at all, except in an ironic sense. But even if we grant the claim of consensus, let's not kid ourselves that consensus is a determinant in matters of fact. Truth is not determined by the number of adherents. That includes the collective opinion of a consensus. If everyone on Earth believed that 1+1=3, there would be consensus. However, the consensus opinion would be wrong. Consensus is what is sought when there is ignorance. In jurisprudence, we could not know the facts with certainty, so consensus of peers was employed. Creating the appearance of consensus is also useful for swinging uninformed public opinion, which is why spin doctors try to claim that everyone believes such-and-such. This, of course, is nothing new. Hence the fallacy of argumentum ad populam, or the appeal to the belief of the masses. (Of course, one might argue that for this to be labelled a fallacy, it has been recognized as such by a group of logicians and thinkers through time, and as such could be wrong since that determination has been made by consensus. However, in doing so, one acknowledges that it's a fallacy anyway.) Most of the above is not new to my readers, but the following is. A very nice and much more interesting take on the matter, the following link refers to a Parliament of Clocks. Much as a stopped clock is falsely said to be right twice a day when in reality it's just lucky, so too is a Parliament of Clocks misunderstood by laypeople: http://chicagoboyz.net/archives/004879.html (Incidentally, it's worth noting something tangentially relevant here. One SDN member quotes a statement of mine wherein I note that one does not determine fact by use of persuasive essays, but instead by reason. This quotation of me is apparently used to suggest that I'm a silly person, which is of course true. However, it's not true because I made that statement. Persuasion occurs via many channels, and many forms of appeal. Appeals to authority, mass belief, emotion, and all manner of other things are valid when one seeks only to persuade. However, matters of fact are not determined with those. Reason is the only arbiter of fact. Write as many persuasive essays as you like, turn as many ears to your message as you can, but don't think for an instant that having people agree on that basis means that your position is factually accurate.)

viroment it is dificult to merely trust the facts. and consensus is far less reliable. No mater what decision we find ourselves in the crux of objectivity is difficult. There are time when we must consider factors that we have no way of calculating. Ultimately we have to make decisions based on something....for some it will be consensus...others...gutt...and other will only be swayed by persausive arguments. My self. I look to God for direction. Still I'm bound by the black and white definitions drawn by facts and chronology. Seperating feeling from facts, interpretation from observation...well that's up to us individually. Mon May 14, 12:03:00 PM 2007 Ilithi: Wait, don't tell me... one of the guys you have to deal with is called 'Ymgir the Frost Giant', right? Tue May 15, 12:22:00 AM 2007 Triarii: No, actually, I'm not familiar with that name... Though that doesn't necessarily mean that I've not encountered him/her under a different name. The ones I've had to deal with go by the names of Victor1st, Acidrain, Mindwipe, and others. sagron said... Well, there is trouble: consensus IS used as an instrument. The most important thing in science work is "peer review", which is notoriously a clock parliament. Also in many other things, like measure interpretation, a "parliament" idea is useed. Personally, I submit to consensus where literaly and film works are involved. It's kind of hard to judge them otherwise :) And, yeah, I am perfectly capable of judging them myself, to state whether I liked them or not, but, obviously, other people are going to have different opinions. Thus, consensus allows me to say, for example, "Voyager is rather average Trek, but I like it anyway." It works for me :) You should be VERY VARY of anything coming from this author. Judging by her other comments, she is a fanatical rightwingist. Specifically, in the science it IS so that a consense exists and everything deviating is fend off.., until a better theory comes which overrides it and becomes a new consense. Ilithi: Ah yes, Victor1st... isn't he that Scottish guy who runs Star Trek Gamers? What's so bad about him? As for Ymgir, he was a 'guru' of sorts on one of Vex Xiang's (the creator of the Flash Trek series) forums. He made something like 30 to 50 posts a day (talk about having no life) and considered himself to be, in not so many words, the 'big cheese' and the 'high and mighty' sort of figure. There were two main negative traits about him, the first was that he, like with the biggots you mentioned, tramps on the ideals of Star Trek and actually down plays them, stating that it's never about philosophy or the human condition and is always about socail commentary and also stating that Next Gen was crap because Picard, as a friend of mine translated his words into simple English for me, was 'always sitting in his utopia'. His other big problem was that he wsn't all that smart. Instead he was one of those over-bearing, charismatic, used car salesman types who can pass himself off as knowedgeable untill he meets a true expert (such as my aforementioned friend, who debated with him over the ideas and ideals behind Star Trek). Tue May 15, 02:14:00 PM 2007 Triari: Yeah, Victor1st is the guy who runs StarTrek-Gamers.com. I don't know if you've ever been over to the STG forums, but they're almost as bad as the SD.net forums. I ran into trouble with Victor1st and the cronies of STG when they decided that they could follow the rules of their forum (which are almost nil), on Bethesda's official Trek game forum, which I help moderate. When they didn't get their way and (*gasp*) actually got punished for breaking the forum rules, just like everyone else, flaming, trolling, threats, and harassment of Bethesda and the moderating team ensued

"Copan" is actually the name of the departamento (like a state). If you want to refer to Copan Ruinas then you need to use the full name, "Copan Ruinas" which translates to "The ruins of Copan". Citzens of the EU, Japan, Norway, Malaysia, Singapore, Switzerland,India and most western countries do not need a visa. If you do need a visa, contact a Honduran consulate.

Honduras has three major international airports with daily flights to Atlanta, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, New York and Houston are in San Pedro Sula airport code SAP, Tegucigalpa (Toncontin) airport code TGU and Roatan airport code RTB. The main international airlines serving the region are Avianca, Copa Air, Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, Spirit, and American Airlines.

Note that the interior domestic airlines frequently have flight cancellations, do not guarantee service, and are under no obligation to issue refunds if a flight does not occur. However, American carriers and their international code share partners listed above guarantee travel per U.S. industry standards. Hence, it is advisable not to rely on a domestic carrier to connect to an outbound international flight without having an alternative means to get to the departure point of the foreign bound aircraft in a timely fashion. For instance, if a flight cancellation occurs in La Ceiba headed to San Pedro Sula due to insufficient ticket sales (a common occurrence), a taxi can be hired for a $50-$100 spot price to run the distance in under two and a half hours. Note that if flying out of San Pedro Sula you will be charged a hefty 37.50$ (34$ if you are from Honduras) airport tax. From mid February 2015 onwards this exit tax will be included in the price of the air ticket. Possible from Guatemala, El Salvador, or Nicaragua. Cars are a good selection, but you must always be careful since the roads are not as well developed but good enough to have a pleasant ride. Traffic enforcement outside of stops to curtail the drug trade is minimal to non-existent, and drivers should be cautious of speeding vehicles as well as aggressive driving tactics (e.g. passing on uphill, curved terrain).

Tegus has MOVED. It's no longer in Comayagüela, but moved to the southern suburbs of Tegucigalpa, beyond the airport. A taxi cost around 120L. Taking the local bus is a great mode of transportation from and to cities within Honduras. Buses are affordable and efficient for you to travel along with the locals. Understand that the earlier you get on a bus, the more time you can spend in the city of your choice. Depending on how many stops the driver makes determines the length of travel time. If you need help knowing the exact fare or which stop is best to get off, ask the locals. Remember the bus is an everyday activity for them. Boats from Belize come in to the Caribbean ports like Puerto Cortes, but schedules are not regular and cannot be checked through the internet. Cruise ships commonly stop at the Bay Islands, however. Railways in Honduras have been built in the northern lowlands (Valle de Sula) since 1880s by two competing banana growers. They never extended to the capital Tegucigalpa or to the Pacific coast and never linked to other countries. San Pedro Sula - Puerto Cortes (50km, freight trains carrying mainly lumber) and occasional passenger trains around San Pedro Sula, for example during carneval and other holidays. Line between La Unión and Parque Nacional Cuero y Salado (9km, transport of coconuts to a processing plant and of tourists to national park). There are many rental car companies. Most have locations at San Pedro Sula and Tegucigalpa airports. Hertz, Budget, Avis, National, have local franchisees. Also independent car rental companies are available with competitive rates. There is regular ferry boat service from La Ceiba to the Bay Islands of Roatan and Utila. Service to Roatan is on the Galaxy Wave II. The ferry trip costs less than flying, and leaves (mostly) on time. A round-trip prima class ticket costs $53; round-trip general class, $43. Both First Class and general seating areas are comfortable and offer air conditioning and flat-screen TVs for your entertainment. The crossing takes about 80 minutes each way. Service to Utila is on the Utila Dream. Tickets cost about $25 each way and the crossing takes about 60 minutes. Both ferries leave from the same dock. You should arrive at the dock in La Ceiba about an hour early to buy tickets and check luggage. **If travelling to the bay islands during Semana Santa (Easter week) it is highly recommended to fly, as the wait for a ferry can be up to 8 hours. If you are a Senior citizen you will find the rate very attractive. If you are prone to sea sickness, the trip North to Roatan can be very uncomfortable, as the Galaxy is fighting the currents. Windy days, re-consider. Otherwise it is a delightful trip, Utila to the West and the Cayos to the East. Last trip of the day to Roatan is awesome with a fanastic sunset. Galaxy II schedule: Roatan - La Ceiba 7AM.; La Ceiba - Roatan 10AM. Roatan - La Ceiba 1 PM, La Ceiba - Roatan 4PM. Utila Dream Ferry: Utila - La Ceiba 7:00AM, La Ceiba - Utila 9:00AM, Utila - La Ceiba 3:20PM, La Ceiba - Utila 4:40PM. Hitchhiking is common in rural areas, even for single women, when there is no proper bus connection. By asking around you will be pointed to the various departure points. Expect to pay the equivalent bus fare at the conclusion of your journey. Spanish is the primary language spoken. English is hardly spoken outside of the biggest towns or the Bay Islands where it is a native tongue. In some areas such as Utila, Spanish and English have hybridized to produce a pidgin tongue that can at times be indecipherable even to native speakers of both languages. Native languages (Lenca, Miskitu, Garifuna, among others) are spoken in various parts of the country, but a Spanish speaker should never be hard to find. Keep a tourist's eye out for "missionary speakers," that is, English or Spanish speaking Hondurans who retain

Question 4. Explain the

following giving examples. (a) saturated solution (b) pure substance (c) colloid (d) suspension (a) Saturated solution: Solution in which no more solute can be dissolved at a particular temperature is known as saturated solution. For example in aqueous solution of sugar no more sugar can be dissolved at room temperature. (b) Pure Substance: Any substance is said to be pure if and only if it is made up of single type of particles means all the particles of that substance should be of same chemical nature. For example water, sugar, salt etc. (c) Colloid: A colloid is a heterogeneous mixture whose particles are not as small as solution but they are so small that cannot be seen by naked eye. When a beam of light is passed through a colloid then the path of the light becomes visible. For example milk, smoke etc. (d) Suspension: A suspension is a heterogeneous mixture in which solids are dispersed in liquids. The solute particles in suspension do not dissolve but remain suspended throughout the medium. For example Paints, Muddy water chalk water mixtures etc. Question 5. Classify each of the following as a homogeneous or heterogeneous mixture. Soda water, wood, air, soil, vinegar, filtered tea. Homogeneous mixtures: Soda water, air, vinegar and filtered tea. Heterogeneous mixtures: wood and soil. Question 6. How would you confirm that a colourless liquid given to you is pure water? Answer: Take a sample of colourless liquid and put on stove if it starts boiling exactly at 100 ºC then it is pure water. Any other colourless liquid such as vinegar always have different boiling point. Also observe carefully that after some time whole liquid will convert into vapour without leaving any residue. Question 7. Which of the following materials fall in the category of a “pure substance”? (a) Ice (b) Milk (c) Iron (d) Hydrochloric acid (e) Calcium oxide (f) Mercury (g) Brick (h) Wood (i) Air. Answer: Out of the above substances only Ice, Iron, Hydrochloric acid, Calcium oxide and Mercury are pure substance. Question 8. Identify the solutions among the following mixtures. (a) Soil (b) Sea water (c) Air (d) Coal (e) Soda water. Answer: Out of the above mixtures Sea water, Air and Soda water are solution. Question 9. Which of the following will show “Tyndall effect”? (a) Salt solution (c) Copper sulphate solution (d) Starch solution. Answer: Tyndall effect is shown by colloidal solution. Here milk and starch solution are colloids therefore milk and starch solution will show Tyndall effect. Question 10. Classify the following into elements, compounds and mixtures. (a) Sodium (b) Soil (c) Sugar solution (d) Silver (e) Calcium carbonate (f) Tin (g) Silicon (h) Coal (i) Air (j) Soap (k) Methane (l) Carbon dioxide (m) Blood Classification of the given substances in elements compounds and mixtures Elements: Sodium, Silver, Tin and Silicon. Compounds: Calcium carbonate, Methane and carbon dioxide. Mixtures: Soil, Sugar, Coal, Air, Soap and Blood. Question 11. Which of the following are chemical changes? (a) Growth of a plant (b) Rusting of iron (c) Mixing of iron filings and sand (d) Cooking of food (e) Digestion of food (f) Freezing of water (g) Burning of a candle. Answer: Examples of chemical changes are Growth of plant, Rusting of Iron, Cooking of food, Digestion of food, and burning of candle.

Earnings before interest and taxes for the first nine months of Adient's 2016 fiscal year were $1.2 billion, or 9.4 percent of revenues.

A realized restaurant utopia We might be sitting on a corner in the postage-stamp downtown of a working class New England fishing mecca, but it’s undeniable that Correa is at the helm of what seems to be realized restaurant

utopia. Currently, he’s in charge of the beverage programs for two of the most beloved spots on the East Coast, both boasting charming locales, effortless spaces, and — let’s be honest — a staff whose physical beauty tends to be just as alluring as the food. Perhaps most impressive is that after six years in business with local and national accolades, Short & Main and The Market Restaurant still feel like well-kept secrets, maybe due in part to their disinterest with keeping up with trends. "We’re lucky that we’re sort of in a vacuum out here in Gloucester," Correa says. "We can be confident and serve what we want, not because we have to or because it’s what people ask for, but because it’s what we believe in." Seaside Shangri-La aside, we all start somewhere. A Sacramento native, Correa started with that newspaper ad — a listing for a job at Town Hall, a San Francisco restaurant with a wine list that went deeper than the local Cabernet fare. From there, his resume reads a bit like a Bay Area greatest hits list: stints at Chez Panisse, Delfina, and Bar Tartine, the aggregate impression left on him being that drinking culture could be a way to connect that we don’t often consider. A drinking culture that's not about taking shots at the bar "There’s joy and conviviality, that little bit of hedonism, making the best, and enjoying what you have with friends," he says. "It’s not about taking shots at the bar." Looking to learn more than he could find in a dining room, he headed to Sonoma and joined up with Scribe, a boutique winery determined to break away from the usual suspects. "What I loved about them was that they weren’t trying to tell you what they were. They were saying, ‘Let’s make a dry Riesling; let’s see what that’s like.’ It was new." It’s true that Correa only landed permanently on the East Coast three years ago, but the wine lists at both Short & Main and The Market lean markedly away from his West Coast roots. It seems, in fact, that his love for wine developed largely in spite of his proximate residence. "In California, you’re very much aware of the wine industry in one way or another," he says. "You can’t ignore it. Monoculture is everywhere. There’s an environmental degradation associated with some of those practices that I have no interest in contributing to." He credits his years at Chez Panisse with helping him understand what responsible agriculture looks like and the ways in which it can contribute to a community. Appropriately, then, the majority of the wines served at both restaurants are small-production and naturally made, though he’s up front about the challenges of selling natural wine on the North Shore. "I try to take the pretense out of it," he says. For him, staff involvement is a large part of the pretense antidote. "Our servers taste every bottle, so they can talk to guests about what they love and what they’re excited about. Hopefully, that brings some humanity back to what we’re doing." "If you want to sell natural wine, just smile more" "If you want to sell natural wine, just smile more," he jokes, but there’s some method to the niceness, too. Short & Main offers a rotating glass-pour-only selection, and at The Market the list is limited to one page. Larger lists just don’t suit the restaurants’ concepts, and it’s not necessarily great from a sales perspective, either. "If someone’s handed a huge wine list — unless they’re really into wine — they’re going to go for what they know. Then you’re just selling Sancerre all the time." Correa also leans on the easy joy he finds in bottle-fermented Italian bubbles, in particular the Fondo Bozzole ‘Incantabiss’ Lambrusco. Owing to the nature of the food, there’s a strong Italian showing on the list, but he loves the wine for more than just its provenance. "You can give that wine to someone on a hot summer day, and they’ll say, ‘This isn’t the big red wine I was looking for, but it has everything I want, and it’s so refreshing.’" That spirit of generosity,

Arizona open in 2024, an update to its earlier public statements, after US customers including Apple Inc. pressured the company to do so, according to people familiar with the matter. TSMC is expected to announce the new plan when the president Joe Biden and the Secretary of Commerce, Gina Raymondor, visit Phoenix for a ceremony next Tuesday, said the sources, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private. The TSMC factory had been slated to manufacture 5-nanometer semiconductorsa standard that will be far from the cutting edge by 2024. The Taiwanese company is also will commit to adding a second plant nearby, which will make even more advanced 3-nanometer chipsthey explained. TSMC previously said it would make 20,000 wafers a month at the Arizona facility, though production may increase from those original plans, they said. Apple will use about a third of production as production begins. TSMC’s factory had been slated to make 5-nanometer semiconductors, a standard that will be far from the cutting edge by 2024. The Taiwanese company will also commit to adding a second plant nearby, which will make even more advanced 3-nanometer chips, they explained. Photographer: Maurice Tsai/Bloomberg Apple and other big tech companies rely on TSMC for their chip-making needs, and the switch means they’ll be able to get more of their processors from the United States. Apple CEO Tim Cook previously told employees that his company plans to source chips from the Arizona plant. He is scheduled to attend the event next week, sources confirmed. A representative for TSMC declined to comment. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Supply chain disruptions and trade tensions with China have spurred efforts to bring more manufacturing to the United States and Europe. US lawmakers also approved the Chip and Science Act this year, offering $50 billion in incentives for companies looking to build semiconductors in the country. TSMC is likely to receive billions in subsidies. The possibility of China taking over Taiwan has also generated worries about reliance on that region for much of the semiconductor industry’s current supply. Island-based TSMC is the global provider of chips that power everything from smartphones to electric vehicles. Most of its production is still centralized in Taiwan. About a third of the production will be used by Apple as production begins.

Arizona open in 2024, an update to its earlier public statements, after US customers including Apple Inc. pressured the company to do so, according to people familiar with the matter. TSMC is expected to announce the new plan when the president Joe Biden and the Secretary of Commerce, Gina Raymondor, visit Phoenix for a ceremony next Tuesday, said the sources, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private. The TSMC factory had been slated to manufacture 5-nanometer semiconductorsa standard that will be far from the cutting edge by 2024. The Taiwanese company is also will commit to adding a second plant nearby, which will make even more advanced 3-nanometer chipsthey explained. TSMC previously said it would make 20,000 wafers a month at the Arizona facility, though production may increase from those original plans, they said. Apple will use about a third of production as production begins. TSMC’s factory had been slated to make 5-nanometer semiconductors, a standard that will be far from the cutting edge by 2024. The Taiwanese company will also commit to adding a second plant nearby, which will make even more advanced 3-nanometer chips, they explained. Photographer: Maurice Tsai/Bloomberg Apple and other big tech companies rely on TSMC for their chip-making needs, and the switch means they’ll be able to get more of their processors from the United States. Apple CEO Tim Cook previously told employees that his company plans to source chips from the Arizona plant. He is scheduled to attend the event next week, sources confirmed. A representative for TSMC declined to comment. Apple did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Supply chain disruptions and trade tensions with China have spurred efforts to bring more manufacturing to the United States and Europe. US lawmakers also approved the Chip and Science Act this year, offering $50 billion in incentives for companies looking to build semiconductors in the country. TSMC is likely to receive billions in subsidies. The possibility of China taking over Taiwan has also generated worries about reliance on that region for much of the semiconductor industry’s current supply. Island-based TSMC is the global provider of chips that power everything from smartphones to electric vehicles. Most of its production is still centralized in Taiwan. About a third of the production will be used by Apple as production begins.

A Look into Third-Party Risk Management (TPRM) for FinTechs and Startups How to navigate the establishment of a TPRM program for FinTechs and Startups with simplicity. You have a great idea, you pitch it and the investors love it, you received your first (or second) round of funding, but now you are left stumped. A sponsor is asking you how are you managing the risk of your third parties. You think, I don’t have any “third parties” then you remember your cloud service provider, you connected APIs, the applications your employees (hopefully) installed via legitimate channels, the open-source software used in the development, and all the unknowns. You are left thinking you may have just opened Pandora’s box. How do you navigate this process, now, tomorrow, and into the future?

Please consider the points below below for your kind suggestions: * *I have 3 Asp.Net MVC applications where I want to enable SSO for them. *I know I can achieve SSO by ADFS (Active directory Federation Services), but I don't want to use it as I want my external users (end-users) to login in all my 3 applications via SSO. *(Correct me If I wrong here because as far as I know, ADFS can be used for Active Directory users (meaning company-wide internal users) and not for external end-users. If we can use ADFS for external users, please do let me know how we should achieve it. *I also don't want to use OpenID. *I want to build SSO own for these 3 applications and want to enable SSO between them. *I want to build SSO that can be used in production environment for these 3 applications. Could you please give me your suggestions on it about how would I achieve SSO by considering all above points? Thanks in advance and all suggestions are welcome! A: The suggestion would be to use the IdentityServer (http://thinktecture.github.com/Thinktecture.IdentityServer.v2/), a replacement for ADFS, which uses the same authentication protocol (WS-Federation) but allows you to plugin your custom membership provider. In addition, the IdentityServer supports some features ADFS lacks and is quite extensible. A: Are your applications in the same domain? If so, can you use Forms Authentication Across Applications? Q: Can you pipe into the bash strings command? The strings command is a handy tool to extract printable strings from binary input files. I've used it with files plenty. But what if I wish to stream to it? A use case is grepping a stream of data that may be binary for specific strings. I tried data-source | strings -- - | grep needle to see if the - had it treat stdin as a file type, but this doesn't work, strings just waits. A: If you look at the help for strings: Usage: strings [option(s)] [file(s)] Display printable strings in [file(s)] (stdin by default) You see that stdin is the default behavior if there are no arguments. By adding - the behavior seems to change, which is strange, but I was able to reproduce that result too. So it seems the correct way to do what you want is: data-source | strings | grep needle In a comment, you asked why not strings datasource |grep -o needle ? If you could arrange that command so datasource is a stream, it might work, but it's usually easier to arrange that using |. For example, the below are roughly equivalent in zsh.

Last evening the ASUCD Senate passed a resolution urging the UC Board of Regents to divest from four corporations that, according to the resolution, “aid in the Israeli occupation of Palestine.” This, however, does not reflect the position of UC Davis or the University of California system. The investment policy for the University of California system, including UC Davis, is set by the UC Board of Regents. The Board and Office of the President issued a statement regarding student resolutions that urge the Board to divest from companies doing business with Israel. The statement reiterates the Board’s position that this type of call to action will not be entertained. We recognize that this is a sensitive topic for many on our campus, one that is very personal and emotional. It is for this reason that we must exercise sensitivity, restraint and respect in relation to the issue. Prior to the debate last night, those in attendance were reminded of our Principles of Community. We affirmed the right to freedom of expression, but also affirmed our commitment to the highest standards of civility and decency toward all. A renowned international university, UC Davis manages academic and research programs across the globe and is home to a community of faculty, researchers and students from everywhere in the world. We believe that our shared goals of teaching, learning and serving the needs of society, in a climate of justice marked by respect for each other, will help us build a strong community of learning and fulfill our mission of educating the leaders of tomorrow and producing and disseminating knowledge.

2/18/2015 - 15:33 "Senate reverses divestment vote, passes resolution." Great news--congratulations Stanford student Senate for your courage and moral leadership. constructive engagement Permalink tom hall replied on Tue, 02/10/2015 - 13:39 There is an irony apparent in the number of comments appearing at this site of late, on behalf of Israel. For years the Electronic Intifada was regarded by Zionist apologists as unworthy of their attention. A policy approximating that of a boycott prevailed in those circles. But something seems to have changed. The success of Ali Abunimah and his colleagues in raising the level of critical discourse on behalf of Palestine has galvanised pro-Israel groups and individuals, resulting in a sudden host of uncharacteristically well-mannered statements appearing here in defense of the indefensible. Demolishing their arguments in a direct exchange of views has become a welcome new feature of this site. My heartfelt congratulations to everyone for a significant accomplishment. torn hall, thanks for the perspective--well stated. You are observant, Permalink maggie replied on Tue, 02/10/2015 - 18:16 You are observant, constructive. I, too, have noticed that. It's because the zionists know the table has turned on them and their indecency has caught up with them. The civilized world is getting more and more united. Israel is the root cause of what is called the rise of anti-semitism in the world. It's not about Jews. It is about Israel. That is what is reflected in these DBS votes on campuses all across the USA. I like these young people. They have courage and they have moral authority. My reply to JeffB, was not approved and I am ok with decision, but there is a serious trolling issue now, that this publication has gained strength and attention. I just ignore them, because it takes away from the real issue - Palestinian Rights. I am so happy for this victory, and nothing will take that away. Thanks again Ali for this publication. As a relative new comer to EI Permalink Chris Reed replied on Sun, 02/15/2015 - 16:38 As a relative new comer to EI and blogging in general, it is interesting to consider your upshot to the opponents of Palestinian rights posting here. I don't spend my time trolling on National Review sites or take the time to chime in on dyed in the wool sites that support the Democrat Party. So I sometimes wonder about people's psychological make up who take the time to barge into someone else's community space. a significant victory Permalink Anne Norton replied on Tue, 02/10/2015 - 15:05 This is an impressive victory won through the hard work of organization and persuasion. We are seeing opinion being We are seeing opinion being led once again by the educated youth in America. I was part of the civil rights era in America and it was then as now the youth who knew the right thing to do and who saw to it that the right thing was done. Israel's behavior is what is responsible for the rise in anti-Semitism. Israel has created these problems with its savage genocide against Palestinians. I have nothing but praise for the youth in America for standing up for the civil rights of Palestine with BDS. BDS will bring Israel either to its senses or to its demise as a nation. It is up to Israel to react positively to the changing times which are so against zionism and its barbarity or to accept their defeat at the hands of the nonviolence of BDS and civil shunning across the world. It's interesting that Dr. Katehi is apparently blind to the contradictions in her statement: "...regarding student resolutions that urge the Board to divest from companies doing business with Israel...the Board’s position that this type of call to action will not be entertained.... We believe that our shared goals of teaching, learning and serving the needs of society, in a climate of justice marked by respect for each other..." In fact, doing business with the apartheid entity of Israel demonstrates contempt for justice and contempt for the other. The institution's "goals" and perceptions of the "needs of society" are clearly not "shared" as

enough. And NECA seems to be a lot more conscientious about keeping its figures to scale as opposed to, say, HT. Here's an old, crappy pic but you can see the scale with a McFarlane figure and I want to say that's a NECA Endo: http://i60.tinypic.com/6rimc9.jpg No that's the McFarlane Endo. The inaccuracy of that torso and the tiny plasma ''rifle'' astounded me even at the time. So im sure most of you have discussed this at length, but im just jumping in here. With Necas new direction with these "ultimate figs" what more do you guys want? (obviously all) so lets do top 3? 1. Kyle Reese- Biehn (redo of 84 is the obvious one, but I would love a Future Reese most of all) 2. Salvation John Connor (opening design) 3. Salvation Marcus (Blue trench coat would be ideal) I like the Ultimate approach so far, I don't mind paying a little more to get a better arsenal with a character. I don't see the Arnold rereleases tempting me as I don't care about the leg articulation, so it's new characters/versions that I'm after (but it's a very smart way to get the figures back out there, and he's always good to anchor a line). My top 3: 1.] 'Terminator 3' T-850 (I need an updated T3 Arnold in my life. Perfect fit for the ultimate line. The higher price point could allow for his coffin and weapons.) 2.] 'Terminator 3' T-X (The added articulation would work well for this character, and she has a good amount of interchangeable parts.) 3.] 'Terminator' Kyle Reese (I'm glad just to own him, but I think he would benefit most for an updated sculpt as he wasn't quite nailed the first time.) I like a Future Kyle too but with so much tooling and not a lot of accessory options, maybe he'd be better served in a 2-pack with an endo or a future John. Well, just no point whatsoever in even mentioning T2 John or T1 Sarah is there. So I'll go with: Tech Noir T-800 (clean and BD combo) Police Shootout T-800 (clean and BD combo) T3 T-850 (usual 3 head* set-up on clean body - alas that full BD version from the end would need to be a separate figure) *clean sunglasses head/BD sunglasses head/some other BD head without sunglasses (can't really remember the stages of BD he went through) I don't see much ''ultimate'' potential for Kyle Reese - not like you can switch out clothes like a Hot Toys figure (unless they go with softgoods *shudder*) - not like he needs multiple heads. I mean by all means make a Kyle Reese from the end of T1 with that other coat and make a 2029 version, I'll buy them, but it doesn't seem like they would be in this ''Ultimate'' sub-category of the line. Those work for me. A Tech Noir T-800 and a T2 John :wink1: Just got my T800s Love them. Seems NECA got a lot better with joints out of package, mine were smooth and firm. How many T-800s did you get? Just 2. One to keep MIB. Thank god both came with perfect paint apps. He could come with bare arms to switch out the coat, and an extra head for his wounded later appearance I guess. He had a couple of different guns and his home made explosives too. You're right that he doesn't quite fit the 'ultimate' mold like the other figures so far have though. He takes a fair amount of head damage through the film with very little changes to his body. 3 head options would be easy. He has half his face burnt off by the TX toward the end, that'd make for a great sculpt. Cool idea with the arms. Conceivably if they did that you could have both coats and an option to have

him in just the vest as per the police interrogation and bomb-making scenes. Very good idea actually. Although, I doubt they'd do it for Reese. Unfortunately he's considered a ''side character'' pretty much. I've realised my memory of T3 is clearer than it has any right to be - he initially finds sunglasses in the first vehicle he steals - there's one headsculpt. Then he gets his face cut up and loses the sunglasses in the crane truck chase scene - another possible headsculpt. Later he steals what seems like an identical new pair of sunglasses at a gas station and he has those all the way up to the TX fight at the CRS facility - a third headsculpt. In the fight with the TX one side of his face is fried, some more endoskeleton exposed and his eye is bloodshot on that side - a fourth headsculpt. Then there's his final look where you can stupidly see through his head due to badly-referenced CGI work - a fifth headsculpt. The Clown Prince of Crime Sculpt #6 - SDCC exclusive http://i.imgur.com/XVfgWft.jpg :monkey3 **** it why not. Incidentally the T-850 must have fashion-awareness subroutines in addition to his psychology ones. Otherwise why would he cast those sunglasses aside? He knew they were joke glasses? That's true, Terminators are fashion as ****. http://images6.alphacoders.com/400/400118.jpg Incidentally the T-850 must have fashion-awareness subroutines in addition to his psychology ones. Otherwise why would he cast those sunglasses aside? Yeah, and why would he get new glasses at the gas station? What was the thought process behind that decision? He doesn't need them. Does he want to look good before the world ends? ^ In fairness to that in T3, the Terminator never needed sunglasses beyond the first film. It just looked cool and became a thing. I agree, though he is surely the 2nd biggest character to pull from the first film if Neca want to milk the ultimate line. With 3 figures confirmed from T2, a new Reese isn't a total impossibility. It works in T2 though, it's a laugh right after a scare thinking he's going to harm the bar owner. It gets ridiculous in T3 because first he puts on silly glasses, and as mentioned, how would he know good ones from bad ones. Then later, after he loses them, he jumps at a chance to replace them. In T3 they're only comedy and that's what rubs people the wrong way. Any T-850, in any scale from any company, better come with a hand you can talk to. Well, apparently there's a reason for the glasses in T2. According to Cameron, We wanted T-800 to change, and we wanted Sarah to change; she starts out one way, becomes fixated on that, ends up becoming more of a machine that he does. We wanted the two of them to change characters as the film went on: she becomes the Terminator while he becomes a human being. And it's partly through the Terminator's transformation that she understands what humanity really is. As Cameron himself explains, there are two transitions occurring: over the course of the film, Sarah becomes the Terminator and the T-800 becomes a human being — both of which are symbolized by the sunglasses (or lack thereof) The sunglasses are an important story device in The Terminator and T2. In the first movie they meant to dehumanize T-800 more and more as the movie progresses and as he takes on more damage, becoming less and less human-like in appearance. In T2...the sunglasses have an even deeper meaning and message. The sunglasses symbolize his gradual transformation — he wears the sunglasses in the beginning when he is nothing more than a killer with a blank mind and loses them when he's starting his journey to become more human... I'm not sure I buy all that, but it kind of makes sense, but then again, anything can have a "meaning" or be a metaphor if you look hard enough. :lol I guess in T3,

Each block links to three other blocks via tetrads, which means that the blocks' connectivity can be represented as a cubic graph, specifically one with 22 vertices (the blocks) and 33 edges (the linking tetrads shared between each vertex pair). And 22 of those edges form a circuit allowing the graph's presentation as a 22-gon with 11 internal edge connections. The cubic graph exhibits an emergent symmetry having nothing to do with the block design's requirements. Nobody asked for symmetry or for common 4-sets connecting the 6-set blocks, or even anything regarding 4-sets at all. 22 hexad blocks linked by tetrads The symmetry is doubtless due to the algorithm used to produce the design, most likely from the underlying group used to generate the design which in this case was C11 - Cyclic Group order 11 generated by the permutation (1,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2) as shown in the design's output report. The following is a possible expression of the above block order. The hex annotations under each bar label the six PCs present in the bar. If the staff could be wrapped around a circle, the four PCs 0,9,a and b in the final bar could - in principal - be tied to the same PCs in the first. Hexachord sequence tied across bars by common tetrads. We say 'in principal' because the PCs a and b (as, respectively, a high A# and a centred B) are in the 'wrong' octave for bar #1, as are PCs 0 and 9 (as bass notes A and C - two octaves apart from their high treble appearances in bar #1). A 'true' circular join is of course possible. But as it is, it sounds like this

We can't imagine that this is anything other than happenstance. As usual on this blog, the blue background indicates a symmetric (inverse = self) PC set and pink indicates asymmetric (with Forte A and B Forms). There's a page devoted to 12 TET hexads if more background is needed. Non-Blocky Tetradic Links In order to justify an order we might apply to the 22 blocks, we sought links between the blocks beyond any demanded by the block design itself. And indeed we found such a link, in the appearance of common tetrads between the hexads. Even better, we found several cycles (i.e. Hamiltonian circuits) of all 22 blocks, stepwise connected via such tetrad-sharing, in such a way that the last block connected to the first. Each block links to three other blocks via tetrads, which means that the blocks' connectivity can be represented as a cubic graph, specifically one with 22 vertices (the blocks) and 33 edges (the linking tetrads shared between each vertex pair).

: unsupported audio element Below is the graph with PC Set {0,3,8,9,10,11} at the top, labelled as vertex 0 (the arbitrarily chosen 'first' block in the circuit shown as the first column labelled (hexadecimally as) 0389AB in the image above). Graph of 22 Hexadic Blocks with 33 Tetradic Commonalities 0 B A 9 8 3 0 1 B A 9 8 7 2 2 A 9 7 5 3 2 3 9 7 6 3 2 0 4 B 6 3 2 1 0 5 B A 5 2 1 0 6 A 8 6 5 2 1 7 A 9 6 5 3 1 8 B 9 6 5 4 3 9 B A 7 6 5 4 A A 7 6 4 2 0 B A 8 6 4 3 0 C A 8 7 4 3 1 D B 7 4 3 2 1 E B 8 5 4 3 2 F 9 8 5 4 2 0 G 9 8 6 4 2 1 H B 9 8 7 6 1 I B 8 7 6 5 0 J 8 7 5 3 1 0 K 9 7 5 4 1 0 L B A 9 4 1 0 Each block, labelled as vertices 0 to L clockwise from the top, is shown with its 6 constituent hexadic pitch classes (labelled in hexadecimal) in a hexagonal 'satellite' arrangement around it. Every block is connected to three others, two being nearest neighbours around the circumference and the third being somewhere across the circle. Each of the three connections carries a common tetrad. For example vertex C - PC set {1,3,4,7,8,10} - connects on either side with vertex B = {0,3,4,6,8,10} and D = {1,2,3,4,7,11} as well as to the relatively distant vertex J = {0,1,3,5,7,8}, the common tetrads between them being respectively {3,4,8,10}, {1,3,4,7}, {1,3,7,8} From Graph to Group Howsoever a cyclic symmetry of C11 in the generation of a block design managed to percolate through to emergent common tetradicities, the 22-vertex 33-edge graph (teased out of that collection by seeking Hamiltonian circuits via those tetradic connections) has dihedral symmetry with an automorphism group isomorphic to D22 (or D11 depending upon which Dihedral Group naming convention you follow). For the moment, we'll dispense with the hexadic attachments - the group is concerned only with the graph's symmetries but doesn't care how it got them. As with all dihedral groups, two generators - a mirror flip and a rotation cycle - will suffice and in this case they are the permutations (1L)(2K)(3J)(4I)(5H)(6G)(7F)(8E)(9D)(AC) and (01HI98ED45L)(2GJA7FC36KB). We're using cyclic permutation notation where each parenthesised string (in this case of graph vertex labels) cycles (i.e. moves its tail character to its head) each time the permutation is applied. The flipper is relatively easy to see as a simultaneous swap of 10 vertex pairs over the vertical axis through 0 and B. Vertex 1 moves to L and L moves to 1, 2 moves to K and K to 2, and so on, each effectively swapping places. The flip permutation (leaving tetradic connections unaltered) 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 A B C D E F G H I J K L Vertices 0 and B are absent from the permutation and unaffected. In other words its action permutes the sequence 0123456789ABCDEFG

Baiada Poultry is working to apply a risk modelling tool with origins in terrorism risk assessments to improve processes at its operations. The company, best known for its ret

ail brands Steggles and Lilydale, has signed an agreement with R&D not-for-profit Battelle to cooperate on adapting the latter's hosted probabilistic risk informed analysis (PRIA) software. "We're in a developmental stage," Baiada's chief scientific officer and regulatory affairs manager, Tony Pavic, told iTnews. "We are in negotiations to license [the tool]." Pavic said PRIA had been written with the US market in mind. He said Baiada is working towards becoming the first to put the software — launched by Battelle late last year — into a production poultry environment. Pavic said the tool would allow Baiada to model and understand what impact a change — for example, to processing speeds — would have on food production, while the change is still in a "lab state". This would reduce the risk of progressing the change into the production environment. "We can have a low-risk live trial," he said. Battelle said in a statement it expects the tool to also be put to use to improving food safety by helping "manage the risk of salmonella and campylobacter outbreaks". Pavic said existing Baiada data is presently being migrated into the PRIA tool. At PRIA's launch last year, Battelle said the tool "applied the same principles" as those used by the US Department of Homeland Security for terrorism risk assessments. DHS is frequently touted as a Battelle user. An episode (from Greek ἐπεισόδιον epeisodion, "parenthetic addition") is a part of a dramatic work such as a serial television or radio program. An episode is a part of a sequence of a body of work, akin to a chapter of a book. The term sometimes applies to works based on other forms of mass media as well, as in Star Wars. Episodes of news programs are also known as editions. Episodes which end in the middle of a climactic moment are often called cliffhangers, after the name used for early movie serials. Such episodes can be nearly daily occurrences in soap operas and are frequently used in season finales of many prime time shows. Episodes can be part of a larger story arc stretched out over a time period covering one or more seasons, or even an entire series run. This is especially prevalent in dramatic television series, including soap operas or science fiction series. Other genres to feature story arcs include comedies and animated programming. J.K. Rowling has delved deeper into the complicated relationship between Albus Dumbledore and Gellert Grindelwald on the special features for the upcoming Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald Blu-ray, Radio Times reports. Rowling reveals that there was a “sexual dimension” to their bond, confirming that there was some reciprocity on Grindelwald’s part to Dumbledore’s affection. “So I’m less interested in the sexual side – though I believe there is a sexual dimension to this relationship – than I am in the sense of the emotions they felt for each other, which ultimately is the most fascinating thing about all human relationship,” Rowling adds. In 2007, Rowling casually confessed that Dumbledore was gay during a Q&A session with Harry Potter fans. Her admission was followed by the revelation that Dumbledore’s love for childhood friend turned dark wizard Grindelwald became his "great tragedy." Even though Dumbledore’s sexual orientation and his feelings toward Grindelwald were a well-known fact, the 2018 film The Crimes of Grindelwald failed to provide any further clarification regarding their relationship, aside from the closeness that these two characters shared. Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald is currently available via digital download, and will be released March 18 on 3D, 4K, Blu-ray, and DVD.

His first published work was his art review "Salon of 1845", which attracted immediate attention for its boldness. Many of his critical opinions were novel in their time, including his championing of Delacroix, and some of his views seem remarkably in tune with the future theories of the Impressionist painters. In 1846, Baudelaire wrote his second Salon review, gaining additional credibility as an advocate and critic of Romanticism.

ep On Dreaming winning like a nice horse – Photo Bruce Stewart Win number two for Matty Williamson – Photo Bruce Stewart The win was one of two for Matty Williamson who is in a hot vein of form at the moment too, winning four races at Forbury Park on Thursday. Keep On Dreaming is also owned by Lindsay and Ian Thomson and looks to be a leading candidate for the end of season Southern Supremacy Stakes. Meanwhile Boarding Pass won for Kennington trainer Greg Hunter . She won the first race on Cup day in the hands of Craig Ferguson. Stretching out – Boarding Pass – Photo Bruce Stewart Michelle Caig has been in the Standardbred industry for twenty five years and has experience of highs and lows that come with selling yearlings at the sales. She’s fought a few battles in that time, but her upbringing has certainly made her resilient. “I’ve come from pretty much doing. I went to eleven different schools and lived in twenty eight houses; living in State Houses and off Birthright. I never dreamt I’d own the land that I’ve got or have the horses I’ve got,” she said. Over the years she developed a critical eye for horse flesh and started to hone those skills as a judge at the show pony section of local shows. “I initially plaited horses up for the late Paul Browman and attended the national yearling sales in Christchurch for twenty three years. I’ve only missed two sales in that time.” The first mare Michelle bought was Mitequila, an Andrel mare out of the four win Transport Chip mare Trist Mist which was raced in Southland by Terry Stumbles, Peter Donaldson, Ian Donaldson and Noel Eade. She won four races from eighteen starts for Wyndham trainer Gary McEwan. Michelle bred her first foal by Courage Under Fire out of the mare. Named Mistefire, he was her first sales yearling in 2005 and was bought by Tim Butt for $30,000. Most of her success at the sales in twenty three years has been with yearling out of Sundon trotting mare Sun Mist a daughter of champion trotting mare Merenai. She leased Sun Mist in 2010 after she’d answered an advertisement in the Harness Racing Weekly. “She had a terrible reputation as been cantankerous. They paid $38,000 for her at the yearling sales. She was trained by Geoff Small and used to stop the jogger. She just didn’t want to be a race horse so they sent her to Michelle Hackett’s on the beach. Most horses love the straight line training. She used to get up to the point where they turned around and she’d lie down.” Sun Mist was promptly sent to stud and when she was leased by Caig she’d already left Sonofanearl. Over the years Caig has bred Rosemma (10 wins), Stuey D (12 wins), October Rain (5 wins), He’s Like The Wind (6 wins), Shes Like The Wind (1 win), Dreamsinthemist, Leaf Stride (2 wins) and her weanling colt by Pegasus Spur was sold late last year for $25,000 to Neville Cleaver and is with Southland trainer Nathan Williamson. In total, Sun Mist from nine foals that have raced, has left the winners of seventy four races. Australians Sue and Mike McGuire have been great supporters of Sun Mist’s progeny, buying Pretty Sunday and Rosemma. They’ve raced both successfully in Australia and are now breeding from the pair. They’ve been given good chances to succeed with Pretty Sunday producing foals by Angus Hall, Majestic Son and Father Patrick while Rosemma has two foals by Majestic Son. Caig is also breeding from one of Sun Mist’s daughters Shes Like The Wind, who’s in foal to Pegasus Spur. “She (Shes Like The Wind) won in track record time at Omakau at her first start and hit the mobile arm at her third start in the Southland Trotting Oaks. She never wanted to be a race horse after that. She just got herself so upset when she got onto the track.” Shes Like The Wind Unfortunately two fillies by Sun

Mist had to be put down. This season she hoped, like a host of trotting breeders, to be able to send Sun Mist to Bold Eagle. “I waited for the semen but it hasn’t come. It’s coming next year so she’s booked in. I had her served by What The Hill but I don’t know whether she’s in foal. She’s getting older and didn’t get in foal last season so it’s a bit of a challenge.” At the end of her breeding career Michelle was also given Merinai. “I met John Bedwell at Alexandra Park one night through my wonderful friend Neil Pilcher. We got talking about yearlings and mares and he realised that I had Sun Mist, a daughter of Merinai. She (Merinai) was at Woodlands Stud on a three year lease. John offered the mare to me and I said yes.” Merinai and John Bedwell Caig only managed to get one foal out of Merinai – Master Merlin, which won one race for Arna Donnelly. Merinai was served by Angus Hall, Majestic Son, Pegasus Spur and The Pres between 2014 and 2017 but never got in foal. She died in 2019. Although Merinai had moderate success at stud her daughters lead by Sun Mist are doing an excellent job at stud. Madam Spur won five races and has left two foals by What The Hill. Owned by Woodland Stud they’re offering an unnamed yearling filly at the Auckland sale next month. Madam Spur Miss Pegasus won nine races. She’s the dam of the highly promising Miss Crazed which has won three races from eleven starts. A yearling colt by What The Hill out of Miss Pegasus is also in the Auckland sale. Miss Crazed Classic Armbro was the winner of two races. As a broodmare she’s left Sertorius, the winner of ten, Tailored Elegance which won four including the Southland Trotting Oaks, and the promising I See Fire which has won two of his six starts for Tony Herlihy. Michelle has been at her Price Road property for sixteen years, where she runs her mares and prepares her yearlings. She built a new house on the property and then subdivided the house and two acres, retaining the stable block and the balance of the land. “It’s really good land. I’ve got a bit of iron in my bore. You can’t drink the bore water out of the ground but the horses do really really well on it. If I have a really good sale this year I’ll build another house.” Michelle is taking four yearlings to the Christchurch Sale next month including a Pegasus Spur colt out of the Lindy Lane mare City Lane. Lindy Lane won seven races, competing in Victoria and New South Wales and has left Australasian Breeders Crown winner Our Renezmae and Saratoga, the winner of seven races. Lot 165 – Pegasus Spur – City Lane “He’s the nicest type that City Lane has had. Renezmae was pretty and feminine whereas this yearling is a real boy. He’s got a nice bright eye and he just trots around the paddock. He’s a lot like his mother and runs along with his head out like Speeding Spur. He’s easy to get along with and he’ll be a two year old.” Lot 165 Pegasus Spur- City Lane The first pacing yearling she’ll be leading into the sales ring is a filly by Rock N Roll Heaven out of Christian Cullen mare Sonjador. This is the family that’s left quality pacing stock including millionaire pacer Holmes DG which won twenty two, and Giovanetto the winner of eighteen races including the Welcome Stakes at two, Southern Supremacy Stakes at three and Superstars Four Year Old Championship. Lot 228 Rock N Roll Heaven – Sonjador “John Curtin really likes her. She can get a bit toey but every time you get her in she’s just getting better and better. She’s a lovely long rangy filly and I bet she can run. It’s an old family so why not a Rock N Roll Heaven filly out of a Christian Cullen mare?” She’ll also be presenting

(The first semi-automatic shotgun, designed by John Browning and manufactured by Remington, hit the market in 1905 and was a runaway commercial success. See HENWOOD, 8 AND THE 81, at 4.) Other arms manufacturers, including Standard Arms and Browning Arms, quickly brought their own semi-automatic rifles to market. See id. at 64-69. Five-shot magazines were standard, but as early as 1907, Winchester was offering the general public ten-shot magazines for use with its .351 caliber semi-automatic rifles. See HENWOOD, THE FORGOTTEN WINCHESTERS 22-23. Many of the early semiautomatic rifles were available with pistol grips. See id. at 117-24. These semi-automatic rifles were designed and marketed primarily for use as hunting rifles, with a small ancillary market among law enforcement officers. See HENWOOD, 8 AND THE 81, at 115-21. By contrast, full automatics were developed for the battlefield and were never in widespread civilian use in the United States. Riflecaliber machine guns (excluding the Gatling gun, which required hand cranking) first saw widespread use in the European colonial powers' African conquests of the 1890s. See JOHN ELLIS, THE SOCIAL HISTORY OF THE MACHINE GUN 79-107 (1986). Automatic, pistol-caliber machine guns were fielded by European militaries toward the end of World War I. The Thompson machine gun (commonly known as the "Tommy gun") entered commercial sale in the United States in the mid-1920s but saw very limited civilian use outside of organized crime and law enforcement. See LEE KENNETT & JAMES LAVERNE ANDERSON, THE GUN IN AMERICA 203-04 (1975). Within less than a decade, the Tommy gun and other automatic weapons had been subjected to comprehensive federal regulation.

Op. at 1261 ("We think it clear enough in the record that semi-automatic rifles . . . are indeed in `common use,' as the plaintiffs contend."). According to one source, about 40 percent of rifles sold in 2010 were semi-automatic. See NICHOLAS J.

ABELA'S, http://www.cabelas.com. Semi-automatic rifles are commonly used for self-defense in the home, hunting, target shooting, 1288 *1288 and competitions. J.A. 137 (Declaration of Firearms Expert Harold E. Johnson). And many hunting guns are semi-automatic. Id. Although a few states and municipalities ban some categories of semi-automatic rifles, most of the country does not, and even the bans that exist are significantly narrower than D.C.'s. What the Supreme Court said in Heller as to D.C.'s handgun ban thus applies just as well to D.C.'s new semi-automatic rifle ban: "Few laws in the history of our Nation have come close to the severe restriction of the District's" law. 554 U.S. at 629, 128 S.Ct. 2783. What is more, in its 1994 decision in Staples, the Supreme Court already stated that semi-automatic weapons "traditionally have been widely accepted as lawful possessions." 511 U.S. at 612, 114 S.Ct. 1793. Indeed, the precise weapon at issue in Staples was the AR-15. The AR-15 is the quintessential semi-automatic rifle that D.C. seeks to ban here. Yet as the Supreme Court noted in Staples, the AR-15 is in common use by law-abiding citizens and has traditionally been lawful to possess. By contrast, as the Court stated in Staples and again in Heller, short-barreled shotguns and automatic "M-16 rifles and the like" are not in common use and have been permissibly banned by Congress. Heller, 554 U.S. at 625, 627, 128 S.Ct. 2783; see also Staples, 511 U.S. at 611-12, 114 S.Ct. 1793 ("certain categories of gunsno doubt including the machineguns, sawed-off shotguns, and artillery pieces that Congress has subjected to regulation. . . have the same quasi-suspect character we attributed to owning hand grenades," but "guns falling outside those categories traditionally have been widely accepted as lawful possessions"); 18 U.S.C. 922(o)(1) ("it shall be unlawful for any person to transfer or possess a machinegun").[15] The Supreme Court's statement in Staples that semi-automatic rifles are traditionally and widely accepted as lawful possessions further demonstrates that such guns are protected under the Heller historyand tradition-based test. The government may still ban automatic firearms (that is, machine guns), which traditionally have been banned. But the government may not generally ban semi-automatic guns, whether semi-automatic rifles, shotguns, or handguns. Even if it were appropriate to apply some kind of balancing test or level of scrutiny to D.C.'s ban on semi-automatic rifles, the proper test would be strict scrutiny, as explained above. See supra Part I.F. That is particularly true where, as here, a court is analyzing a ban on a class of arms within the scope of Second Amendment protection. If we are to apply strict scrutiny, we must do so in a manner consistent with Heller's holding that D.C.'s handgun ban was unconstitutional. But D.C. cannot show a compelling interest in banning semi- automatic rifles because the necessary implication of the decision in Heller is that D.C. could not show a sufficiently compelling interest to justify its banning semi-automatic handguns. For its part, the majority opinion analyzes D.C.'s ban on semiautomatic rifles under an intermediate scrutiny balancing test. Even if the majority opinion were 1289 *1289 right that intermediate scrutiny is the proper test, the majority opinion's application of intermediate scrutiny here is unconvincing: The fundamental flaw in the majority opinion is that it cannot persuasively explain why semi-automatic handguns are constitutionally protected (as Heller

or plant for which congress appropriated that amount on May 31, has had a good effect on the tungsten producers of this district and there is renewed energy shown in development of that mineral. Every leaser and miner of Atolia is jubilant over the outlook, coming as suddenly upon the depression of two weeks ago. It effect has been electrical, for the miners know than Uncle Sam will either have to go into the open market for his tungsten supplies wherewith to make armor plate or he will have to withdraw a few thousand acres of the Atolia tungsten belt and develop his supply by leasers under the bonus system. This has been the policy of the government when it found that the big manufacturers of powder, steel, etc., combined to boost the prices. But the real pay of the “spud diggers” is over the fact that Uncle Sam has already in the field several investigators who are looking over the granite formation of this section which show tungsten possibilities, because, in case of the taking up ,or withdrawal of such lands he must develop them ,same as the Atolia Mining Company has acquired its large holdings, by leasing the ground to miners under a contract system, contingent upon a good round price for the product. Such a system again inaugurated in Atolia means a $4 day wage to the miners and a market for every pound of tungsten ore produced. With the government as a competitor of the Bethlehem Steel company, owned by Schwab interests, who are said to have lately acquired the Atolia Mining Company hundred or more claims here, the outlook for competition in market prices of tungsten is one of the happiest of combinations in San Bernardino county and for the permanency of Atolia district. The spurt of enthusiasm has affected even the Atolia and Randsburg storekeepers and such signs as “cash for highgrade,” meal tickets for highgrade” or “groceries for highgrade” are exhibited along the townsite are exhibited along the townsite. Buyers of the outside production of ore are again on the ground and it is not uncommon to see two or three shipments by autos to Los Angeles, where it is sampled and old on a basis of $1 to $1.35 per pound. Several tons have been picked up this week at prices varying from $45 to $50 per unit. Shippers of the product contend that not a pound of this output is going to the Schwab interests.” San Bernardino County Sun June 12, 1916: “Atolia will continue to boom as people with money come in and people broke go out. It is assured that big quantities or ore at a smaller price, rather than smaller quantities as a high price will make Atolia the queen city of the Mojave Desert.”—Bakersfield Californian June 20, 1916: “Atolia, Cal., June 26 –TUNGSTEN BUYERS – Tungsten buyers invaded camp Friday and yesterday and today were busy looking for ore. Low grade and high grade both are in demand at prices ranging up to $1 per pound for the higher grades. Car loads lots, ten pound lots and all other amounts changed hands yesterday. It is reported that several tons of ore was sold and that orders have been received for ore that will take several days to secure. Weigmore and Sons of Los Angeles are buying, as well as C. P. Harrison and others. With the advent of ore buyers tungsten producers are more given to smiling and will still hold ore for higher prices but with more hopes. ” – The Bakersfield Californian June 12, 1916: “TUNGSTEN PRODUCERS FORM SALE AGENCY – Tungsten producers of the now famous Atolia and Randsburg mining camps, near here, have just completed an organization to handle the total output of tungsten from all the producers in these districts.

There are also lots of electronic files (often spreadsheets) scattered across desktops and servers in large organisations such as the NHS, the value of which would be enormously enhanced if they combined to provide a coherent and consistent picture of the state of the organisation at a point in time. With the NHS, this means ‘big data’ processing - the NHS deals with a million patients in some way or another in every

36 hours. The NHS - like many other large corporations - employs among its 1.35 million staff some whose job is to take this raw data and convert it into a uniform and coherent format. This is the starting point for the detailed analysis used to improve managerial and clinical decision-making. While this work requires skill and expertise, it is no surprise that much of it is very repetitive and as such is ripe for automation. NHS England, with its technical partner PA Consulting, took up this challenge and this was the subject of the presentation to PROMSG in June. A striking aspect of the project was the use of Scrum. The project was completed in five months by means of a series of two- to three-week Scrum sprints. The first sprint was able to deliver useful functionality in just four weeks. The project required a team with a range of skills including data analysts familiar with the underlying data structures, and developers with expertise in a variety of technologies needed for various levels of data processing. The need for intense communication between the two roles made this a text book situation to use agile. Individual ETL scripts (using the Talend from Amazon web services) had to be written to convert to a common format source data derived via channels and media as different as web services, FTP and even email attachments. The standardised data was then stored in the cloud using GoogleBigEnquiry. Front end access to the data was provided using QlikView - also from Amazon. Sense could be made of a potentially chaotic situation by a focus on the standard NHS performance indicators. These are well-defined, and are essentially imposed from the centre. For each indicator current clerical processes could be identified as the sources of the information needed for the indicator values. This is then the basis for the automation efforts. These indicators became the basic units of work for the project. Planning was to a large extent focused in prioritising the indicators to be automated. The project was undeniably a success. An interesting question is whether the approach could have been profitably used on the Universal Credits system which also involves the merging of data from different sources. One difference between the two examples is that while the NHS systems were complex, the underlying clerical processes and data were well-established. A project where this is not the case might be dealing with another layer of difficulty.

The magazine quoted its global editorial director, Anna Wintour, as saying that Patitz was “still the European symbol of chic, like Romy Schneider-meet-Monica Vitti. She was much less visible than her peers – more mysterious, more adult, more inaccessible – and that had its own appeal.” In a 2006 interview, Patitz felt that the golden age of fashion models was over. “There was a real era, and the reason it happened was because glamor was introduced there,” she told Prestige Hong Kong magazine. “Now the celebrities and actresses have taken over, and the models are completely in the back.” She also noted that models of her day had healthier physiques. “The women were healthy, not these skinny little models whose names nobody knows anymore,” Patitz said.

When she was twenty, she went undercover for a college project to uncover racial discrimination in education in the south. During her career as a lawyer in Arkansas, she was tremendously well respected. She took clients of all sorts but was especially involved in children and family issues. Though the right-wing defeated her, she organized a huge effort involving experts and stake holders from every aspect of the health care world. It was a huge task that she undertook for no compensation because she felt that it was important to get better health care for millions of people. That is, for no personal benefit, she undertook an effort for which a consulting company would charge millions and faced tremendous and unfair opprobrium from the right-wing and health care industry. Her response? She dusted herself off and rammed through the States Children Health Insurance Program. It provides access to health care for many millions of children to this day. Faced with brutal opposition and painful defeat, she kept at it until she found a way to a good result. As a Senator, she was praised universally for being collegial and imaginative in finding ways to work with people with whom she disagrees. As with her time in Arkansas and as a First Lady, she was praised for being incredibly hard-working, selfless and well-prepared. When she ran for President, she added a new skill to her portfolio. She organized a national campaign that just about kicked Barack Obama's ass. She did it with such competence that Obama asked her to be Secretary of State. This ability to compete intensely while keeping doors open and relationships alive is a rare skill. While she had many important accomplishments as Secretary of State the part that we learn that's new is that she is a tremendously kind and engaged boss. While carrying an insane workload (she traveled more than any previous Secretary of State), she also did things like bring the cake when a co-worker had a birthday. She took time to talk to even low level employees. She knew their kids and the issues in their lives. We also are reminded of something that was said about her as a Senator, that she is unbelievably knowledgable and well-prepared. She was famous in the State Department for knowing more about specifics that the subject team leaders who briefed her. It turns out that she reads and reads and studies more than anyone. When everyone else is being an executive who delegates the details, Hillary takes the time to actually know what she is talking about. But, there are the right-wing claims about her. She's been under investigation forever. She wrecked out national security. She is a liar and a cheat. She must be hiding something. She helped Iran get nuclear bombs. And it's all crap. She has been under investigation forever because, first, her husband's and, now, her Republican enemies want her destroyed. Starting with the completely disproved accusations over Whitewater and the Rose Law firm, and continuing to this day, every single investigation was initiated by people who hate her and her husband. In the nineties, a right-wing creep named Richard Mellon Scaife was pissed because the Democrats took Congress after Newt Gingrich shut down the government over a dispute with Bill Clinton. Scaife started a company named Judicial Watch. Judicial Watch devised the strategy of suing the government over Freedom of Information requests with a specific goal of ruining the Clintons. It was them suing for ever more details about the Whitewater investigation that found the Lewinski problem and one statement over the course of a zillion interrogations that they used as an excuse

It was them suing for ever more details about the Whitewater investigation that found the Lewinski problem and one statement over the course of a zillion interrogations that they used as an excuse

for his impeachment. While the insane harassment over Benghazi (do you know that under her tenure as Secretary there were fewer people killed in embassies than under George Bush) was started by the Republicans, it was was Judicial Watch, still attacking her fifteen years later, that dragged out the email server issue. The email server is the most insanely false issue of them all. Trump and the rest pretend it is a huge deal but it's not. Hillary used an email server. It was done because government technology was cumbersome. She made a point of not sending classified information though, apparently, a tiny bit leaked through. More importantly, nothing bad happened as a consequence. No secrets got out. National security was not, in fact, compromised. Donald Trump, because he is a deeply dishonest person (projection being the main characteristics of his kind) calls her a liar. He insists that she was playing fast and loose with national security. He calls her dishonest and a criminal. But, she's not. That's why the FBI exonerated her. Remember, Comey, who despises her, said the decision "wasn't even close". She did not commit any crimes. She spent eleven hours testifying in Congress. Her enemies screamed and yelled that she must be lying, demanded the FBI compare her testimony to everything she said to them. But here's the real truth: They could not point to one single thing that she lied about. They were left hoping that something she said in a deposition that they had not seen would reveal a mistake. And that's what she's faced her whole career. Republicans trying to destroy her. Hillary keeps her head down and keeps working. The people who know her love her. She's funny, smart and kind. The people she's worked with admire her. She has experience with the law. She has experience with failure and success. She's run a huge, international governmental organization (the State Department) very successfully. And, she won the nomination by appealing to fifteen million people with a message of hope and excellent policy substance. I know, the Democratic National Committee preferred her. But why? The reason is that, while Bernie was doing his own, self-involved thing, she was out making friends. She helped people out. She was supportive and engaged. She built a huge, nationwide team of supporters. She worked to build organizations in every state. Remember how Bernie complained that he was stymied by state committees all over the country? He was right. While he was relying on his own vision of an abstract process, Hillary had been recruiting people to her cause for years. She built state organizations and developed friendships and loyalty. When the time came, people wanted to help her. That's the main reason I want her for President. Though I absolutely believe that the things above add up to her being the best qualified, most highly prepared person who has ever run for the office, to me, her ability to work with people is what I want the most. Let me be clear, I think that Hillary is a warrior. I think she, better than any of the men who have held the office in my life, knows how to kick ass with cold brutality. But she does it in a context of collaboration, engagement and mutual interests. She does it without keeping score. She works with people instead of trying to dominate them. She recruits people, not controls them. She prefers results to victory. She cares about people. I won't go into the policy differences between her and Trump. (She has them. His are a joke.) Or his temperament. (The example of thin-skinned Twitter wars stand in for dozens of stories of revenge over small matters.) Or, his business record (bankruptcy after bankruptcy to leave his partners screwed.) Or the conflicts of interest. Or his admiration for dictators. I note only that, in the testimony of dozens, refuses to pay vendors who can't afford to sue him. Who, in the testimony of dozens, has touched women without their permission. Who spent years dishonestly promoting the obviously false idea that Obama is not an American. Who has publicly ridiculed disabled people, bullied women (not just Miss Universe, for example, but Katy Tur of NBC), disparaged Mexicans and Moslems. I repeat these unarguable facts: He bragged about touching women. Dozens

Madhur Mittal, Anil Kapoor, Irrfan Khan, Saurabh Shukla, Mahesh Manjrekar, Ankur Vikal. Directed by Danny Boyle When you live in abject poverty, survival is a day to day issue and nothing is guaranteed, least of all the possibility of a better tomorrow. However as difficult as it is to escape the slums, if that is what love requires of you then it must be done. Young Jamal Malik (Patel) is a contestant on the Indian version of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.” He is one question away from the grand prize of 20 million rupees when he is arrested by police and questioned. They are suspicious that a boy like this from the slums, uneducated and unaware even of who is on the 1,000 rupee note (It’s Gandhi for those who are wondering, and for those who aren’t, this particular banknote is about as common as the $1 bill is here) can answer questions that even the highly educated cannot. After a night of torture, a patient police detective (Khan) sits Jamal down and runs through the tape of the previous day’s show one question at a time. It turns out that Jamal’s knowledge is hard-fought, obtained from a life on the streets of Mumbai. Orphaned at an early age along with older brother Salim (Mittal), the brothers befriend a fellow orphan, the beautiful Latika (Pinto). The three are taken under the wing of Maman (Vikal) who turns out to be a heartless gangster who has accumulated dozens of children in his “orphanage” to act as beggars. He even, in a particularly gruesome scene, has the eyes burned out of some of their heads with acid to then be scooped out with a spoon like so much yoghurt. Salim leads them on a breakout but when he and Jamal make it onto a train, Salim purposely slips his hand away from Latika’s so that she gets captured. The brothers wind up working – okay, scamming would be a better word – as tour guides at the Taj Mahal, brazenly telling tourists false facts about the Taj and throwing up bigger lies when their own stories are questioned. They are making good money but Jamal misses Latika, to his brothers’ disgust and urges them to go back to Mumbai and find her. When they do, they discover that Maman has been preparing her as a highly sought after virgin prostitute and is getting ready to make good on his investment by selling her virginity to the highest bidder. Salim winds up shooting and killing Maman. He then uses that to get a job with rival gangster Javed (Manjrekar) and proceeds to throw Jamal out of the apartment they share with Latika. Jamal’s heart is broken because Latika is apparently siding with Salim. Years later, Jamal winds up working at a call center as a chaiwalla (tea server) and uses the database to find both Latika and Salim but succeeds only in finding Salim. Salim is penitent but Jamal is still focused on Latika. Salim is bewildered by his devotion and responds that she is “long gone.” When Jamal follows Salim to his house, he discovers that Latika is there but is apparently living with Javed. Jamal brazenly bluffs his way into the gangster’s house and confesses his love for her. She is reluctant to go with him, knowing that Javed would be furious but he promises to wait for her in Mumbai’s largest train station every day at 5:00pm “until she comes.” One day she does come but before the two can re-unite, she is kidnapped by Javed’s men (including Salim) in front of Jamal’s horrified eyes. One of the men cruelly slashes her cheek with a knife, driving away from an enraged Jamal. When Jamal goes back to Javed’s house, he finds that the gangster has moved away. With no way to find his beloved, he decides to take a chance – to go on a game show that she is sure to be watching, and stay on as long as he can. And so far, he has stayed on as long as he can go – because every question has had an answer from some incident in Jamal’s

Queensland Ambulance Service senior operations supervisor Will Houghton said the 17-year-old, who he described as a "fit young man", was swimming with about three friends to Wave Break Island but became distant from the group. Passer-bys on a boat found the teen unconscious and face down in the water and took him to shore. "Early reports are that he was swimming across to Wave Break Island with friends," Mr Houghton said. "He went unresponsive in the water. "It was critical that they found him. "He was found lying face down in the water. No one knows the amount of time he'd been there. "I think he had drifted from them (his friends). I think once they'd realised what had happened they were on the other side on Wave Break Island. "He has congested a lot of water. He was taken to Gold Coast University hospital for further assessment, but he's talking and the moment and regained consciousness." Emergency services were called to Seaway Dr about 6.15am Wednesday after being notified by Volunteer Marine Rescue. Earlier: A TEENAGE boy has been rushed to hospital after he was dragged unconscious from the Gold Coast seaway. The teenager was pulled unconscious from the water and taken to a ramp.

The “CA” is red with a white and blue outline. After the “Big A” was removed from the parking lot in 1992, the Angels returned to their roots and re-adopted the interlocking “CA” logo with some differences.

, the Angels adopted the “Big A” a red letter with blue trim and a yellow halo around the “A.” The “A” is on top of a white baseball with red seams and a blue shadow of California in the background. A yellow star indicating the location of Anaheim. In 1973 the Angels did some slight changes to the logo from 1971. The “A” in the scripted wordmark “angels” was lower-case and was changed to an upper case “Angels.” The star that indicated the location of Anaheim is now red and not yellow. In 1971, the Angels adopted a logo that had the wordmark “angels” written diagonally on an outline of the State of California. A yellow halo hung around the top right corner of the state and a yellow star indicated the city of Anaheim. The first California Angels logo was very similar to the previous “LA” logo. The only difference was instead of an interlocking “LA” letters, there was an interlocking “CA” letters. The Angels first logo depict a white with red seams baseball with wings and a halo over a light green baseball diamond with letter link “L” and “A” over it.

MATTHEWS, S.C. (AP) - Calhoun County sheriff’s deputies say a 17-year-old girl has been killed by two brothers who thought she set them up to be robbed. Sheriff Thomas Summers told The Times and Democrat of Orangeburg (https://bit.ly/1fmE6zk ) that 17-year-old Kymmara Randolph had nothing to do with the robbery. Summers says Randolph was killed shortly after she was last seen leaving an Orangeburg home with a man Feb. 13. Authorities found her body Friday in a swamp after several days of searching. Deputies say the men lured Randolph from her home by saying they were taking her to a party. Forty-five-year-old Jerry McKnight and 32-year-old Bryant McKnight have been charged with murder. It was not known if they had lawyers.

This should be tackled by, among other things: "tak[ing] steps to revitalize America’s space security diplomacy" "consider[ing] ways to expand space security consultations with allies and partners, and promote norms of behavior that can advance the security and sustainability of the outer space environment" (Note: It's not totally clear to me whether this part of the article is solely about anti-satellite threats or about a broader range of space-related issues.) This updated me a little bit further towards thinking it might be useful: for more EAs to go into diplomacy and/or arms control for EAs to do more to support other efforts to improve diplomacy and/or arms control (e.g., via directing funding to good existing work on these fronts) Here's the part of the article which is most relevant to point 1: The State Department’s arms control workforce has been under stress for some time due to problems associated with an aging staff and the inability to effectively recruit and retain younger talent. For example, a 2014 State Department Inspector General report on the Bureau of Arms Control, Verification, and Compliance states: “Forty-eight percent of the bureau’s Civil Service employees will be eligible to retire in the next 5 years, the second-highest percentage in the Department of State … Absent a plan to improve professional development and succession planning for the next generation of arms control experts, the bureau is at risk of losing national security expertise vital to its mission.” Though many of the challenges associated with the arms control workforce pre-date the Trump administration, according to press reports, these trends have accelerated under its watch. As a result, the Biden administration will inherit an arms control workforce that has been hollowed out. A key priority for the incoming team must be to rebuild this workforce. Luckily, the Under Secretary of State for Arms Control and International Security has the authority under the Arms Control and Disarmament Act to hire technical arms control experts through an expedited process. In the near-term, the State Department should take advantage of this and other existing hiring authorities to help rebuild the arms control workforce. Over the longer term, it should work with Congress to determine whether new hiring authorities would help grow and maintain the arms control workforce. Another relevant one in the US Dept of State.

est country by GDP (PPP), soon-to-be the most populous country, high-growth, and a neighbour of China. Perhaps we're neglecting it due to founder effects, because it has lower average wealth, because it's universities aren't thriving, and/or because it currently has a nationalist government. I also see a case for Singapore - that it's government and universities could be a place from which to work on de-escalating US-China tensions. It's physically and culturally not far from China. As a city-state, it benefits a lot from peace and global trade. It's by far the most-developed member of ASEAN, which is also large, mostly neutral, and benefits from peace. It's generally very technocratic with high historical growth, and is also the HQ of APEC. comment by HaukeHillebrandt · 2020-09-11T15:03:14.004Z · EA(p) · GW(p) I feel Indonesia / Jakarta is perhaps overlooked / neglected sometimes, despite it being expected to be the world's 4th largest economy by 2050: Jakarta - yep, it's also ASEAN's HQ.

The case would probably revolve around Russia's huge nuclear arsenal and efforts to build AI.

EAs have reason to favour Top-5 postdocs over Top-100 tenure? Related to Hacking Academia [EA(p) · GW(p)]. A bunch of people face a choice between being a postdoc at one of the top 5 universities, and being a professor at one of the top 100 universities. For the purpose of this post, let's set aside the possibilities of working in industry, grantmaking and nonprofits. Some of the relative strengths (+) of the top-5 postdoc route are accentuated for EAs, while some of the weaknesses (-) are attenuated: +greater access to elite talent (extra-important for EAs) +larger university-based EA communities, many of which are at top-5 universities -less secure research funding (less of an issue in longtermist research) -less career security (less important for high levels of altruism) -can't be a sole-supervisor of a PhD student (less important if one works with a full-professor who can supervise, e.g. at Berkeley or Oxford). -harder to set up a centre (this one does seem bad for EAs, and hard to escape) There are also considerations relating to EAs' ability to secure tenure. Sometimes, this is decreased a bit due to the research running against prevailing trends. Overall, I think that some EAs should still pursue professorships, especially to set up research centres, or to establish a presence in an influential location [EA(p) · GW(p)] but that we will want more postdocs than is usual. comment by Stefan_Schubert · 2020-09-30T14:05:42.001Z · EA(p) · GW(p) A quite obvious point that may still be worth making is that the balance of the consider

God (cont.) Personally, my own experience with the Bible was, for a long time, essentially a process of never quite managing to confront those questions. Unlike Jefferson, I never took the time to go through the Bible point-by-point and figure out exactly which parts I agreed with and which parts I didn’t. It wasn’t necessarily that I consciously avoided it – I was happy to spend hours obsessing over the parts of the Bible that I genuinely found valuable and inspiring – but when it came to the less-than-wonderful parts, I just sort of kept my beliefs vague and never really focused on them too much. Sure, I may have had some kind of distant peripheral awareness in the back of my mind that certain parts of the Bible were historically or scientifically inaccurate, or that some of the stories had a lot of bloodshed – but these concerns were never really anywhere near the front and center of my attention, where they might have been fully subjected to the spotlight of scrutiny; they just kind of lingered on some hazy subconscious level, never quite fully formed. When I thought about the story of Noah’s flood, for instance, I didn’t think about it in terms of millions of terrified families desperately trying to keep their heads above water until they inevitably ran out of strength and drowned horribly; I thought about it as that fun story from the colorful picture books I had as a kid, with all the cute animals in it. When I thought about God killing all the firstborn Egyptians, I didn’t think about it in terms of all the grieving mothers whose beloved children were mercilessly taken from them; I thought about it in the same way I thought about Luke Skywalker blowing up the Death Star in Star Wars – i.e. the fact that countless people were being violently murdered didn’t register with me on a visceral level; it was just, “Hooray, the good guys beat the bad guys!” In retrospect, of course, I’m horrified by the fact that I wasn’t able to see these things for what they were. But I think my experience is pretty common among people who were raised religious. If you’ve known these stories your whole life, you never really stop to think about them critically in the same way that you would if you were hearing them for the first time as an adult; you just take them for granted as part of your baseline of knowledge. To draw a non-religious analogy: Do you remember that nursery rhyme, “’Twas the Night Before Christmas”? (I realize this is a pretty random example, but it’s one I just came across recently, so it’s still fresh in my mind). This is a story that most of us have heard a million times and could probably recite large portions of by heart. If asked, you could

Dvorkovich and Levitov Leave RCF Russian chess will be headed by Andrey Filatov Russian newspaper Kommersant published the information which "shouldn't have been spread" before the RCF Board Meeting on February 1. Arkady Dvorkovich and Ilya Levitov leave their posititons at the RCF. The official statements will be made at the Congress. The newspaper quotes Mr. Dvorkovich: "My term as the Chairman of the RCF Supervisory Board finishes this year. At the moment the amount of work on the post of the Deputy Chairman of the Government of the Russian Federation doesn't allow me to sufficiently deal with all the cases topical for Russian Chess Federation, so I have made a decision not to ask the Congress to extend my term." According to the Regulations the delegates of the Congress will have to elect a new Chairman of the RCT Supervisory Board from the candidatures nominated by the regional federations. However, as Chess-News found out that's only a matter of formality because the top level officials have already decided that Dvorkovich will be replaced by the businessman Andrey Filatov. In chess world he is known as the sponsor of the Anand - Gelfand world title match 2012 held in Moscow. The Supervisory Board appoints the Chairman of the Management Board, Filatov chose Mark Glukhovsky (the editor-in-chief of the 64 - Chess Review Magazine) for this position. Let us remind you that Mr. Glukhovsky works as the Press Attache at the abovementioned match. Here's another extract from Dvorkovich's commentary to Kommersant: "We have built the system of chess development in Russia: there is the grant system working as well as there are grandmaster schools for children; the number of regional tournaments held by the RCF has increased immensly; the work with the sponsors in arranged. [...] Playing for the Russian national team has again become prestigious - the system of preparation for the top team events is working properly, there are coaching staff as for men's, so for women's teams. The victory of the Russian men's team at the world championship 2013 in Turkey has proved that we were doing everything correctly. As many have claimed Russia got back its status of the most chess playing state in the world." The rumours on the possible resignation of Dvorkovich and Levitov actively circulated after RCF announced that it'll support Ilyumzhinov at the FIDE presidential elections. To some extent the decision was unexpected as Dvorkovich and Levitov stated earlier they are not happy with Ilyumzhinov's candidature. Arkady Dvorkov

Are Manatee Populations Rebounding!? By L.D. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) recently proposed that the West Indian Manatee have their status changed from “endangered” to “threatened”. The gentle giants, also known as sea cows, have been categorized as endangered since 1973, when the Endangered Species Act was passed. Before receiving the protection afforded by the act, manatees were heavily hunted for their meat, oil, and hides. While the hunting of manatees is now illegal, they still face many human threats, which continue to have drastic effects on their population size, and conservationists argue that the down-listing would be a hasty move motivated by evidence that doesn’t reflect the whole picture. What threatens their path to recovery? West Indian manatees are heat seekers and follow the warm water. Their incredibly low metabolic rate and lack of an insulating layer of body fat makes them especially susceptible to cold stress. The whiskered mammals reside in the Caribbean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the West Indies for part of the year, and migrate north to Florida for warmer waters in the winters, often seeking new residence in

industrial areas, such as electrical plants. Their journey, unfortunately, puts them in harm’s way. Water activities are amongst the greatest threats to the ever-charismatic manatee. Collisions with boats and jet skis are common, and they’ve also been found trapped within locks and flood control structures. They’re also in danger of ingesting or becoming entangled within fishing equipment. While water activities account for the majority of unnatural manatee deaths each year, habitat destruction poses the greatest long-term threat. Manatees thrive in temperatures higher than 68 degrees and are vulnerable to cold stress in temperatures below that threshold. In the winter of 2010, for instance, nearly 300 manatees died from an extended cold period. Naturally occurring cold weather events are exacerbated by the development of residential neighborhoods, which interrupt water flow to the warm water springs upon which manatees rely. Manatees also face dangerous red tide blooms, an event that occurs when the population of dinoflagellates, a type of algae, experience a sudden and drastic increase. The blooms are primarily attributed to warmer water temperatures, low salinity, and an increase in aquatic nutrient content. The algae contain seizure-inducing neurotoxins, which manatees inhale when they surface for air, and ingest when it consumes the algae-covered sea grass on which they feed. The seizures can be severe enough that manatees are incapacitated and cannot surface for air, causing them to drown. Many reports support the idea that red tides are increasing (they now occur near-annually in Florida), and one common theory attributes the increase to global warming. Changing the Status manatee close up portrait underwater In 2007, the FWS released a 5 year review of the 2001 Florida Manatee Recovery Plan, which cited that up to 75% of the tasks outlined in the plan had been implemented and/or achieved and suggested their status be updated from “endangered” to “threatened”. The organization also pointed to 1991 estimates that showed the manatee population size as being 1,267. Since then, in Florida alone, the population has increased to 6,300, and the total species population to 13,000. The Endangered Species Act defines endangered as an animal “in danger of extinction within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range,” which the FSW does not believe describes the manatee, at this time. While many of the same protections will apply to manatees in the instance of down-listing, the FSW will be able to modify recovery plans to reflect their new status. There are groups that are eager for the status change. The boating industry and land developers have been applying pressure (sometimes legal) to the government for years, urging officials to heed the advice of their experts, and down-list the manatee’s protection status. As part of the recovery and protection efforts, speed limits have been implemented in boating zones and many warm-water springs have been designated protected, thereby prohibiting development. The apparent rebound of the sea cows is enough to give parties with investments in tourism and development cause to feel unnecessary restrictions are obstructing their business interests. Conservationists, however, view the change as premature. Many note the nearly 50% loss of population that manatees sustained between 2010 and 2013, resulting from red tide blooms and cold snaps. The fear is that protection will be reduced, development will increase, and research and enforcement will taper. Opponents of the down-listing acknowledge the success that can be seen in the increased population size, but place heavy emphasis on the importance of assessing how well we are actually protecting the animals from harm, pointing to the 2010-2013 losses as a failure reflective of our abilities. The FWS will not decide whether or not manatees will be down-listed from “endangered” to “threatened” until later this year, after the 90-day public comment period has passed (the period ends April 7th, 2016). During that time anyone can weigh-in on the status change and contribute to the discussion. While the status change has created a heated debate, it cannot be argued that progress has been

in the topological direction and have non-singular operator product expansion (OPE) with each other. As was explained in Section \ref{aphiggs}, the quantum Hilbert space ${\mathcal H}={\mathrm{Hom}}(\overline{\mathscr B}_{\mathrm{cc}},{\mathscr B}_{\mathrm{cc}})$ is the space of ${\mathrm L}^2$ half-densities on ${\mathcal M}(G,C)$, or equivalently the space of ${\mathrm L}^2$ sections of $K^{1/2}\otimes \overline K{}^{1/2}$. We recall that this happens because brane quantization of ${\mathcal M}_H(G,C)$ is equivalent to quantizing it as a cotangent bundle $T^*{\mathcal M}(G,C)$. In quantizing a cotangent bundle $T^*W$, a function whose restriction to a fiber of the cotangent bundle is a polynomial of degree $s$ becomes a differential operator of degree $s$ acting on half-densities on $W$. If, as in the case of interest here, $W$ is a complex manifold, then more specifically holomorphic functions on $T^*W$ become holomorphic differential operators on $W$. From a holomorphic point of view, one usually says that holomorphic functions on $T^*W$ (with polynomial dependence on the fibers) become holomorphic differential operators acting on sections of $K^{1/2}$. (The role of $K^{1/2}$ is explained from a $\sigma$-model point of view in \cite{GW}, Section 3.2 and Appendix C.) In the case of the Hitchin Hamiltonians, the fact that they can be quantum deformed to differential operators acting on sections of $K^{1/2}$, and not on sections of any other holomorphic line bundle, is part of the standard story \cite{H2,BD}. However, the antiholomorphic line bundle $\overline K{}^{1/2}$ is invisible to a holomorphic differential operator, since its transition functions are antiholomorphic and commute with holomorphic differential operators. So the holomorphic differential operators that are obtained by deformation quantization of holomorphic functions on $T^*W$ can naturally act on $K^{1/2}\otimes \overline K{}^{1/2}$, or equivalently on the bundle ${\sf K}^{1/2}$ of half-densities. Similarly, under deformation quantization, antiholomorphic functions on $T^*W$ become antiholomorphic differential operators that can act on ${\sf K}^{1/2}$. So ${\mathscr A}$ and $\bar{\mathscr A}$ become, respectively, algebras of holomorphic and antiholomorphic differential operators acting on half-densities on ${\mathcal M}(G,C)$. From this point of view, the statement that ${\mathscr A}$ and $\bar{\mathscr A}$ commute just reflects the fact that holomorphic differential operators commute with antiholomorphic ones. \subsection{The Duals Of The Coisotropic Branes}\label{dualco} In order to be able to apply duality to this problem, we need one more ingredient. We need to understand the duals of the $A$-branes ${\mathscr B}_{\mathrm{cc}}$ and ${\bar {\mathscr B}}_{\mathrm{cc}}$ in the $B$-model of ${\mathcal M}_H(G^\vee,C)$. To be specific, here we mean the $B$-model in the complex structure that is called $J$ in \cite{H}, in which ${\mathcal M}_H(G^\vee,C)$ parametrizes flat bundles over $C$ with structure group $G^\vee_{\Bbb C}$. We denote the connection on the flat bundle as ${\mathcal A}=A+{\mathrm i}\phi$, where $(A,\phi)$ are the unitary connection and Higgs field that appear in Hitchin's equations. A general $B$-brane is a coherent sheaf, or a complex of coherent sheaves, on ${\mathcal M}_H(G^\vee,C)$. However, the $A$-branes ${\mathscr B}_{\mathrm{cc}}$ and ${\bar {\mathscr B}}_{\mathrm{cc}}$ have additional properties that imply that the dual $B$-branes must be rather special. To explain this, we recall that the Higgs bundle moduli spaces are hyper-Kahler manifolds, with complex structures $I,J,K$ that obey the usual quaternion relations, and a triple

However, the $A$-branes ${\mathscr B}_{\mathrm{cc}}$ and ${\bar {\mathscr B}}_{\mathrm{cc}}$ have additional properties that imply that the dual $B$-branes must be rather special. To explain this, we recall that the Higgs bundle moduli spaces are hyper-Kahler manifolds, with complex structures $I,J,K$ that obey the usual quaternion relations, and a triple

of corresponding Kahler forms $\omega_I,\omega_J,\omega_K$ and complex symplectic forms $\Omega_I=\omega_J+{\mathrm i} \omega_K$, etc. Geometric Langlands duality in general maps the $A$-model of ${\mathcal M}_H(G,C)$ with symplectic structure $\omega_K$ to the $B$-model of ${\mathcal M}_H(G^\vee,C)$ in complex structure $J$. When we speak of the $A$-model or the $B$-model without further detail, these are the models we mean. A generic brane in either of these models is merely an $A$-brane or $B$-brane of the appropriate type. However, many of the branes that are most important in geometric Langlands have additional properties. For example, a brane supported on a point in ${\mathcal M}_H(G^\vee,C)$ is a brane of type $(B,B,B)$, that is, it is a $B$-brane in each of complex structures $I,J$, and $K$ (or any linear combination). The dual of a brane of type $(B,B,B)$ is a brane of type $(B,A,A)$; in the case of the Higgs bundle moduli space, the dual of a rank 1 brane supported at a point is a brane supported on a fiber of the Hitchin fibration, with a rank 1 flat ${\mathrm{CP}}$ bundle. These branes are the Hecke eigensheaves which are central objects of study in the geometric Langlands program; they will be discussed in Section \ref{wkb}. In the case at hand, ${\mathscr B}_{\mathrm{cc}}$ and ${\bar {\mathscr B}}_{\mathrm{cc}}$ are branes of type $(A,B,A)$; they are $A$-branes of types $I$ and $K$, by virtue of the Kapustin-Orlov conditions for coisotropic branes, and they are $B$-branes of type $J$, because the curvature $\pm\frac{1}{2}\omega_J$ of their ${\mathrm{CP}}$ bundles is of type $(1,1)$ in complex structure $J$, so that those bundles are holomorphic in complex structure $J$. In general, the dual of a brane of type $(A,B,A)$ is a brane of type $(A,B,A)$, so the duals of ${\mathscr B}_{\mathrm{cc}}$ and ${\bar {\mathscr B}}_{\mathrm{cc}}$ will be branes of that type. The simplest kind of brane of type $(A,B,A)$ is given by the structure sheaf of a complex Lagrangian submanifold in complex structure $J$. In more physical language, these are branes supported on a complex Lagrangian submanifold with a trivial ${\mathrm{CP}}$ bundle. And indeed, the duals of ${\mathscr B}_{\mathrm{cc}}$ and ${\bar {\mathscr B}}_{\mathrm{cc}}$ are of this type. These duals were first identified (in a different formulation) by Beilinson and Drinfeld \cite{BD}, with the help of conformal field theory at critical level $k=-h^\vee$. A gauge-theory explanation involves duality between the D3-NS5 and D3-D5 systems of string theory \cite{GWknots}. The complex Lagrangian submanifold supporting the dual of ${\mathscr B}_{\mathrm{cc}}$ parametrizes flat $G^\vee_C$ bundles which satisfy a ``holomorphic oper'' condition. We will denote it as $L_{\mathrm{op}}$. Similarly, the dual of ${\bar {\mathscr B}}_{\mathrm{cc}}$ is supported on a complex Lagrangian submanifold $L_{\overline{\mathrm{op}}}$ that parametrizes flat $G^\vee_C$ bundles which satisfy an ``antiholomorphic oper'' condition. The holomorphic oper condition can be stated rather economically as a global constraint on the holomorphic type of the bundle, i.e. on the $(0,1)$ part of ${\mathcal A}$, as we will do here, or in a more local way, as we will do in Section \ref{localoper}. Both formulations are standard mathematically. In a four-dimensional gauge theory, $S$-duality maps a deformed Neumann boundary condition to a deformed

don’t believe anyone can beat me. ‘This is one of the most violent sports out there. I’ve beaten hundreds of people and done damage to all sorts of people – broken knee caps, toes. Alan ‘Nasty’ Nash, 59, has won a record-breaking 15 times at the toe wrestling world championships (Picture: Iain Watts/Mercury Press & Media) ‘I just don’t like losing, and because people know I won’t back down, it gives me a psychological edge. ‘I would say I have the world’s strongest toe. ‘Matches are played out of a best of three and normally last between three to four minutes, but people only last a couple of seconds against me. ‘I’ve tried to insure my toe for £1 million but they wouldn’t agree to it. They wouldn’t take me seriously – I think they thought I was having a laugh.” The adrenaline junkie is now an ambassador of the sport he’s loved for 25 years. Alan stepped into the ‘toe-dium’ – as it is officially known – for the first time in 1994 after suffering persistent bouts of boredom. The eccentric man – voted 2nd most eccentric man in Britain in 2002 – had sought out different outlets to fulfil his desire for oddity, including activities such as chicken whispering, dwarf throwing and egg breaking – for which he holds the Guinness world record of 60 eggs cracked between his toes in a minute. But he found his calling while working for a band who were performing during the 1994 toe wrestling world championship. Alan Nasty Nash reacts after winning another world toe wrestling title (Picture: Mercury Press & Media) Alan, who stands at 5’11” and 16 stone 4 lbs, had 12 hours to kill and decided to sign up to compete in what would be the first of his 15 world titles. The 59-year-old takes his sport very seriously, spending four nights a week training his legs and backs – ‘I do hundreds of squats’ – and even applied for the sport to appear in the 2000 Olympics. Alan said: ‘Coming up to the championship I’m training as many nights as I can, and I start training around Christmas so it’s a six-month process. ‘It’s about three to four times a week for six months, then in the month leading to the championships I go every night. ‘I don’t just work on my legs, but I work on my shoulders. I do a couple hundred squats a day to get myself in shape. ‘Rounds normally last just a few seconds with me, but with this Italian guy we couldn’t move our toes and it lasted about an hour, so I’ve started training my shoulders to be able to withstand it. The 59-year-old takes his sport very seriously, spending four nights a week training his legs and backs (Picture: Mercury Press & Media) ‘I used to go to Britannia Stadium [home ground of Stoke City Football Club] after hours and two nights a week I’d run up one row of the seats, back down, and do it around the entire stadium – it would take about an hour. ‘My legs would be so pumped, I couldn’t even walk back to the car in the car park.’ Toe wrestling has been a positive experience for Alan, who despite the broken toes, has travelled the world and made friendships with other eccentrics such as himself. People such as Alan’s long-time rival ‘The Toe-minator’, ‘The Count’ – a comically tall and well-spoken man who’d show up in a tuxedo and top hat – Billy ‘Big Toe’ – whose left foot was a size 14 and his right a size 12 – and the ‘Baby Bikers’ – who would turn up in their Harley Davidson’s wearing nappies and dummies. With a trophy room boasting 23 awards and retirement just around the corner, Alan has already set his eyes on the future, training his step-daughter Ruby Mae Parkes, nine, who is the current junior world champion.

ve enjoyed every minute of this, I look forward to the championships every year – I’ve got to go on shows and do all kinds of things I would have never had to chance to do. ‘I like to think of myself as an ambassador of the sport, and I want to push the sport to its limits. ‘What I love the most is the trash talk – just knowing that they can’t do a thing about it, I will win. ‘I love winding people up, I’ll stare people down and laugh at them while they’re struggling. ‘I’m 60 next year and have won many trophies, and my step-daughter Ruby is also a champion so toe wrestling will always be part of our family.’ F1 TV Motorsport Broadcasting The inside line on motor sport and broadcasting. Channel 4 F1 / Ratings / Sky Sports F1 Hamilton’s British Grand Prix victory peaks with 5 million viewers July 11, 2016 July 11, 2016 David Nelson2 Comments The British Grand Prix performed solidly on Sunday afternoon for Channel 4 and Sky Sports against a difficult backdrop of both the Wimbledon finals and the final of Euro 2016, overnight viewing figures show. Live coverage of the race, broadcast on Channel 4 from 12:00 to 15:55, averaged 2.36m (17.9%). Across their usual three-and-a-half-hour slot from 12:00 to 15:30, the coverage averaged 2.54m, so not a major gulf between the two numbers. Channel 4’s coverage hit a 5-minute peak audience of 3.89m (24.5%) at 14:30 as Lewis Hamilton claimed victory. What is noticeable is that Channel 4’s coverage lost 1.2 million viewers as soon as they went to their first post-race commercial break. Their audience dropped from 3.3 million viewers to 2.1 million. Some of that is natural decline, some of it is self-inflicted, with the break ‘inviting’ the audience to turn over to other channels. Both Channel 4’s average and peak audiences are season high numbers for them, by a wide margin too. It is good news for the broadcaster, and their strategy of airing more live races in the middle to latter stages of the season may well be paying off, based on the trajectory the season is currently heading in. Sky’s live coverage from 12:00 to 15:30 averaged 736k (5.8%), this being split 552k vs 184k in the dedicated channel’s favour. Interestingly, their coverage peaked with 1.12m (9.3%) at 13:15, which I believe is their highest peak number for shared coverage in a while. Year-on-year, Sky’s average is up 14 percent, with the peak metric up 21 percent. Overall, the combined audience of 3.10 million is the second highest of 2016 (slightly behind Austria, thanks to Channel 4’s extended broadcast) but down 27 percent on 2015’s average audience of 4.28 million. This is the lowest audience for the British Grand Prix since 2006, but that should not be any surprise to anyone reading this considering the Wimbledon clash. Compared with 2014, which also clashed with an Andy Murray Wimbledon final, the average audience is down only 6.9 percent. The Wimbledon build-up on BBC One from 13:00 to 13:55 averaged 2.28m (18.6%), enough to put a dent into the British Grand Prix numbers. The combined peak audience of 4.99m (31.5%) is down 14.6 percent on last year’s peak audience of 5.85m (50.4%), but up 2.4 percent on 2014’s peak audience of 4.88m (32.7%). Live coverage of qualifying on Channel 4 from 12:00 to 14:30 averaged 1.43m (16.2%), peaking with 2

Orlando is a popular tourist destination, which is why buying a second home to use as a vacation rental can be a lucrative investment. Many people advertise their homes in websites like FlipKey, HomeAway and VRBO. That makes it important for you to create a compelling description so your short-term rental property stands out from the competition. Here are a few top tips to follow so you have the best chance of renting your home consistently. When you sit down to write the description, put yourself in your guest’s shoes. What would they want to know most about your property? Your goal is to provide key information about your home and give the reader a sense of what it’s like to live there. Focus on the features that would appeal most to a holiday traveler. And include the things that you love about your home too. Once you’ve thought about your home’s features, make a rough outline that lists the points you might include in the description. Don’t worry about writing complete sentences at this point, or even deal with grammar, punctuation and spelling. The goal is to let your ideas flow, and list your home’s most notable features as quickly as you can. Now that you have your ideas on paper, it’s time to write that first draft. Imagine someone asking you, “What’s your home like?” Your first draft should be written as an answer to that question. The description should explain what you like about living in the home and why it’s the perfect place for them to stay while on holiday. Readers tend to scan web content quickly, so it’s to your advantage to use short sentences and short paragraphs. Use adjectives with care. Not everyone uses words like “spacious,” “cozy” and “comfortable” the same way. It’s also important to be truthful in your description. You don’t have to emphasize your home’s less desirable features. But omitting important details can anger your guests and prompt them to leave an unfavorable review. Being honest from the outset is your best course of action. Once you’ve revised your description a few times, give it to a friend to proofread for spelling, punctuation and grammatical errors. It’s common for you to miss something that stands out clearly to someone who hasn’t seen the material before. Once you’re satisfied, you can post the description on your vacation rental listing. Are you looking for an Orlando vacation home to purchase? Contact Team Donovan at 407-705-2616 for help. We specialize in the purchase of second homes for use as a rental property. We can help you find the perfect property near Disney. Every rebreather diver needs at least one regulator to bail out onto, and there are a few reasons for this.

Use the \verb+\nonumber+ command at the end of each line to avoid assigning a number: \begin{eqnarray} {\cal M}=&&ig_Z^2(4E_1E_2)^{1/2}(l_i^2)^{-1} \delta_{\sigma_1,-\sigma_2} (g_{\sigma_2}^e)^2\chi_{-\sigma_2}(p_2)\nonumber\\ &&\times [\epsilon_jl_i\epsilon_i]_{\sigma_1}\chi_{\sigma_1}(p_1), \end{eqnarray} \begin{eqnarray} \sum \vert M^{\text{viol}}_g \vert ^2&=&g^{2n-4}_S(Q^2)~N^{n-2} (N^2-1)\nonumber \\ & &\times \left( \sum_{i<j}\right) \sum_{\text{perm}} \frac{1}{S_{12}} \frac{1}{S_{12}} \sum_\tau c^f_\tau~. \end{eqnarray} \textbf{Note:} Do not use \verb+\label{#1}+ on a line of a multiline equation if \verb+\nonumber+ is also used on that line. Incorrect cross-referencing will result. Notice the use \verb+\text{#1}+ for using a Roman font within a math environment. To set a multiline equation without \emph{any} equation numbers, use the \verb+\begin{eqnarray*}+, \verb+\end{eqnarray*}+ format: \begin{eqnarray*} \sum \vert M^{\text{viol}}_g \vert ^2&=&g^{2n-4}_S(Q^2)~N^{n-2} (N^2-1)\\ & &\times \left( \sum_{i<j}\right) \left( \sum_{\text{perm}}\frac{1}{S_{12}S_{23}S_{n1}} \right) \frac{1}{S_{12}}~. \end{eqnarray*} To obtain numbers not normally produced by the automatic numbering, use the \verb+\tag{#1}+ command, where \verb+#1+ is the desired equation number. For example, to get an equation number of (\ref{eq:mynum}), \begin{equation} g^+g^+ \rightarrow g^+g^+g^+g^+ \dots ~,~~q^+q^+\rightarrow q^+g^+g^+ \dots ~. \tag{2.6$'$}\label{eq:mynum} \end{equation} A few notes on \verb=\tag{#1}=. \verb+\tag{#1}+ requires \texttt{amsmath}. The \verb+\tag{#1}+ must come before the \verb+\label{#1}+, if any. The numbering set with \verb+\tag{#1}+ is \textit{transparent} to the automatic numbering in REV\TeX{}; therefore, the number must be known ahead of time, and it must be manually adjusted if other equations are added. \verb+\tag{#1}+ works with both single-line and multiline equations. \verb+\tag{#1}+ should only be used in exceptional case - do not use it to number all equations in a paper. Note the equation number gets reset again: \begin{equation} g^+g^+g^+ \rightarrow g^+g^+g^+g^+g^+ \dots ~,~~q^+q^+\rightarrow q^+g^+g^+ \dots ~. \end{equation} Enclosing single-line and multiline equations in \verb+\begin{subequations}+ and \verb+\end{subequations}+ will produce a set of equations that are ``

in...India ECONOMIC GROWTH India is the world’s sixth largest economy by nominal gross domestic product (GDP). According to the data, India’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) has amounted to USD 2.59 trillion and the country’s economy has grown at a seven-quarter high of 7.7 per cent in the last three months ended March 2018. Contributed by Economic Laws Practice India’s national debt, and the introduction of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code 2016 as a means to address it, has had a ripple-effect across the country’s corporate sector. There has been a major increase in mergers and acquisitions by distressed companies seeking to avoid being dragged through recovery proceedings in the National Company Law Tribunal; a rise in rates of recovery as a result of the IBC process, helping to restore a degree of market confidence among prospective lenders; a significant downturn in project financing work as public sector banks have reduced lending to commercial entities; and a slow-down in the growth of corporate bond issuances. However, the sea change isn’t restricted to corporate law: advocates and solicitors have been kept busy with a high volume of cases, including precedent setting judgments handed down by the Supreme Court, regarding the interpretation and enforcement of the IBC. Most prominently, the Supreme Court declared the Reserve Bank of India’s circular (issued February 2018) directing banks to automatically identify all borrowers with fund-based or non-fund-based exposure of five crore or above to ensure they are subject to time-bound resolution plans ultra vires, giving banks the power to explore extra-judicial means for rescuing insolvent companies. Although corporate bond issuances are suffering a slow-down, the government’s recent liberalisation of foreign direct investment laws has supported a natural rise in investment in the country’s highly attractive sectors of renewable energy, real estate, and infrastructure. The country’s first publicly listed Real Estate Investment Trust and Infrastructure Investment Trust proved to be alluring for foreign and domestic investment, aided by the attractive guarantee of a 90% distribution rate that investors receive. While IPOs more broadly have also slowed down since a major surge in 2017 and 2018 – in part due to the policy uncertainty generated by the recent general election – they still represent the dominant source of activity for capital markets lawyers and participants in India, driven by the voracious appetite of private equity firms to secure a return on their investment through public offerings. Turning to India’s judicial system, arbitration is becoming an increasingly popular means of dispute resolution, bolstered by a 2015 amendment to the Arbitration and Conciliation Act 1996, instituting a 12-month timeframe for the resolution of arbitrations once the arbitral tribunal is constituted. Given that India’s courts are overrun, with tens of thousands of cases pending in the Supreme Court alone, the growth in arbitration as a method of dispute resolution represents a critical shift in the legal landscape. International arbitration is also evolving to meet the needs of clients, with the establishment of the Mumbai Centre for International Arbitration in 2016 and the enactment of a bill in July 2019 announcing the launch of the New Delhi International Arbitration Centre, and striking down the 12-month time-bar for the resolution of international arbitrations, echoing concerns raised in legal quarters that arbitrators cannot be expected to resolve complex disputes in such a short period of time. In terms of litigation, a recent amendment to the Commercial Courts Act 2015 has been met with serious concern. The amendment reduces the threshold for bringing claims from 1 crore to 3 lakhs, with the intention to give less affluent citizens access to the courts. However, opening up access to a wider section of the public in such a densely populated country creates the risk that the commercial courts, established to be a more effective method of resolving disputes between commercial clients, will become overrun. Across the vast state of Karnataka there are only three courts with judges designated to resolve commercial disputes, meaning the list of pending cases is bound to grow and many applicants will be required to travel long distances to pursue their claims.

The result was significant on a court where conservatives hold a 4-3 majority, which has now handed Trump and his allies four losses in the past two weeks. The ruling came just hours before Wisconsin’s presidential electors met to officially cast their votes for Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris. Writing the majority 4-3 opinion, conservative Justice Brian Hagedorn said Trump lost his right to challenge a variety of absentee voting guidelines handed down by the Wisconsin Elections Commission, some of which had been on the book for a decade. “Our laws allow the challenge flag to be thrown regarding various aspects of election administration,” Hagedorn wrote. “The challenges raised by the Campaign in this case, however, come long after the last play or even the last game; the Campaign

is challenging the rulebook adopted before the season began.” In a separate concurring opinion, Hagedorn also dismissed the idea that bad guidance from the state had altered the outcome of the election. “At the end of the day, nothing in this case casts any legitimate doubt that the people of Wisconsin lawfully chose Vice President Biden and Senator Harris to be the next leaders of our great country,” Hagedorn wrote. Hagedorn’s majority opinion was joined by liberal Justices Ann Walsh Bradley, Rebecca Dallet and Jill Karofsky. Conservative Justices Patience Roggensack, Annette Ziegler and Rebecca Bradley each dissented, arguing the court should have ruled on the merits of the case rather than dismissing it because of timing. All three were sharply critical of Hagedorn’s ruling, writing that the court had shirked its duty. While none of them definitively declared that they would have overturned the state’s election results, Roggensack’s dissent suggested — at the very least — that she was open to the Trump campaign’s arguments challenging tens of thousands of votes. “In the case now before us, a significant portion of the public does not believe that the November 3, 2020, presidential election was fairly conducted,” Roggensack wrote. “Once again, four justices on this court cannot be bothered with addressing what the statutes require to assure that absentee ballots are lawfully cast.” Trump’s lawsuit was an offshoot of the recount his campaign asked for in Dane and Milwaukee counties. Had it succeeded, it would have tossed more than 220,000 absentee ballots cast in those counties, while leaving votes cast in 70 other counties untouched. Those ballots challenged by the Trump campaign include roughly 170,000 ballots cast by people who voted in person before Election Day. Trump argued those ballots should be rejected because the people who cast them did not fill out separate written applications the way absentee voters do when they vote by mail. Hagedorn dismissed that, noting that voters there used a form endorsed by the state that had been in place for more than a decade. “Waiting until after an election to challenge the sufficiency of a form application in use statewide for at least a decade is plainly unreasonable,” he wrote. The Trump campaign also challenged another 28,000 ballots from voters who said they were “indefinitely confined,” which lets them submit an absentee ballot application without providing a copy of a photo ID. In a separate ruling issued earlier Monday, the entire court ruled it was up to individual voters to decide whether they were indefinitely confined. Hagedorn repeatedly rejected the idea that these votes should be rejected. “The challenge to the indefinitely confined voter ballots is meritless on its face,” Hagedorn wrote. While Roggensack’s ruling suggested she might agree with Hagedorn on those voters, she embraced the Trump campaign’s challenge to two other groups of voters. Trump wanted to strike “no less than 5,517” ballots where clerks completed a witness’ address, which is required under Wisconsin Election Commission guidance. “My conclusion that errors in the certification of absentee ballots require discarding those ballots is consistent with our precedent,” Roggensack wrote. In addition, Trump would have rejected 17,217 ballots collected at “Democracy in the Park” events sponsored by the city of Madison earlier this year. Republicans raised concerns about those events before they were held but never challenged them in court. Roggensack suggested those events were unlawful because Wisconsin law does not permit absentee ballot drop boxes, and the people collecting ballots were not employees of the Madison City Clerk. “The poll workers who staffed Democracy in the Park were volunteers,” Roggensack wrote. “They were not employees of the City of Madison Clerk’s office.” The ballots flagged by Roggensack totaled 22,788, a significant amount in a state Biden won by 20,682. This was the fourth time this month the Wisconsin Supreme Court rejected a lawsuit brought by Trump or his allies. In each case, Hagedorn’s vote proved pivotal. On Dec. 3, H

To make the trio of works called I live there now, I started with a photo I took in 2004. It shows the corner of a room, part of the house my parents lived in for well over four decades. I spent most of the first seventeen years of my life in that house. I took the photograph shortly after my father died and I moved my mother into a nursing home. Though I mistrust my memories of those days and weeks, I recall that being the last time I was in their house. I've told the background story elsewhere, but in case this is the first thing you're reading, here's a synopsis. My parents were booksellers. They were also children of difficult times, including the Great Depression. Perhaps because of that, they seemed to keep everything—usually in stacks and piles, everywhere.

, as a kid, spending much of my time alone, filling in the blanks as it were. Maybe that’s a big part of why I wound up making pictures of my own in the first place. When you don’t believe in anything beyond this world and the one you’ve been given is pretty much a shambolic mystery, well, there are lots of blanks to work with, lots of holes to fill. In this picture, there’s clutter and mess, but there’s also this lamp with a bare light bulb. It's strangely placed. I didn't put it there. My parents likely left it that way. It might have been left that way for years. When I saw it—the lightbulb in the picture that is—I thought, well that's just a bit more weirdness in a weird place. The light looked incongruous to me, this lucency in the middle of the room, with its own little space cleared around it on a desk that had otherwise become just another storage vessel. There were moments when, because of the light, the picture had something to it that passed for a sense of looking out. A vein of optimism even. It's a bit romantic. Of course, the light’s not like a sunrise or anything like that. It comes from something people made; it’s naked and solitary, and it leaves a lot of shadow. If it’s a symbol, it has a vernacular quality to it. And it gives off light but doesn't illuminate all that much. You—and I—still don't know what all that stuff really is, though we can make out more of its form. When you look at the three pictures in order, the light remains more or less constant. But something else happens—the room changes and, by the last image, things seem to be coming apart somehow. The title comes from Molloy by Samuel Beckett: I am in my mother’s room. It’s I who live there now.... When I reread those lines, I knew I'd work them into a title for these images. Not in the facile sense that I’ve become like my mother, or my parents, or anything like that. It's about getting to a point in life that has as much to do with experience as age. Endings appear in sharper relief than beginnings. The edges are worn. The shadowy withering of things is something I can feel now, instead of just imagining or appreciating the idea of it. I can’t know for sure if my mother saw these things too. I was going to say I should have asked but I know I never would have. But before her mind went—and maybe after, who knows—I bet she did. Like the Revisitations works, which also have an intimate relationship to that house, I installed each of these images in its own wooden case, crafted by superb woodworkers. They’re objects as well as pictures. They have a tidy privacy I like. When they’re closed, the picture dies to the world, waiting for someone to open the lid and bring it back to life. Home » Lee Enterprises » Lee Enterprises loses revenue, cut staff, rewards top executives Lee Enterprises loses revenue, cut staff, rewards top executives Feb 22, 2018 by Jeff As you would expect, Lee Enterprises executive chairman Mary Junck offered optimistic spin on the state of the company Wednesday at its annual shareholders meeting. “We have proven ourselves to be flexible and nimble at rethinking, repositioning and redeveloping all aspects of our business,” Junck told shareholders. “We see a bright future for Lee.” Chief executive officer Kevin Mowbray was similarly upbeat. “With our proven track record of transformation, we are well-positioned and experienced to seize new opportunities and thrive in the future,” he said. That sounds great, but revenues keep plunging. The company keeps unloading employees while still managing to pay its top executives more — including a $900,000 boost for Mowbray. LA attorney headhunters drive exceptional hiring results for those who were laid off. Here is the state of the company in a nutshell: Revenues keep plunging due to the precipitous decline in print advertising across the industry. Digital revenues were up 8 percent in the year ending Sept. 24, 2017, but not nearly enough to offset the loss of classified (

and sometimes having a bit too much fun, for example Judi Dench’s character, whilst originally written as an intimidating figure, has far more deadpan humour than sincerity. Aside from one tickling line about Poirot’s comparison to the god Hercules (“I do not slay lions”) there’s one too many scenes with the detective laughing into ‘his Dickens’. The original tale of the suspenseful rail journey has an interesting ending (don’t worry, no spoilers). However, it is utterly botched in this update, feeling a bit like a whodunnit without a proper “dunnit”. If the film had focused much, much more on further building the deceit and tension between the wholesome characters but at the same time, taking more time to not rush a sadly, ineffective climax, it could have been terrific. It’s inoffensive – better yet, it has absolutely no impact on me whatsoever. Throughly underwhelming. As deliciously stylish and well performed as it may be, Branagh’s attempt at a first-class trip of mystery is hindered by narrative and pacing issues, failing to provoke anything close to a smacked gob.

Most of the railroad grade crossings in the United States are “unprotected,” which means the crossing lacks flashing lights or automatic gates and the only warning may be a crossbuck sign. Many of these crossings, however, need active devices to alert the motorist that a train is actually approaching. Conditions such as limited sight distances, increased train and vehicular traffic volumes, high speed limits for trains or cars, use of the crossing by school buses or Haz-Mat trucks, and multiple mainline tracks make the crossings dangerous and the passive warnings inadequate. Contrary to popular belief, the private railroads owning the crossings can make them safer by installing functioning flashing lights and/or gates and are held legally responsible for deaths and serious injuries resulting from train collisions with the motoring public at crossings lacking the appropriate warning devices. The railroads may also be accountable for allowing any one of the described conditions to exist, if the particular condition makes the crossing dangerous and contributes to cause a collision. Almost every state, for example, requires that a railroad remove sight-obstructive vegetation from its right-of-ways at a crossing, and a railroad may be liable should such vegetation prevent a motorist from seeing a train in time to avoid a collision. This does not account for a railroad’s failure to sound its train horn and apply the emergency brakes, which involve its duties to operate trains in a safe manner and could also lead to collisions and injury. Read more about our Kansas City train accident lawyers. Semi-trucks, buses, limousines, passenger vans and other large vehicles in the trucking industry present a special danger on our roads if improperly handled. Given their mass, these commercial motor vehicles can easily overtake and damage cars, and the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) make it clear that trucking companies have an extraordinary duty to control the conduct of their drivers. Making sure the drivers act in a safe and lawful way involves employees as dispatchers, and load planners, but ultimately rests on company management. The trucking companies’ responsibilities over the drivers are often discussed in the areas of driver qualification, driver training, and driver disqualification. The reason may be that trucking industry has experienced tremendous growth. According to the American Trucking Association, over 80,000 entry-level drivers join the field every year. The less obvious, but no less important motor carrier duties involve record retention, monitoring and supervision, and maintaining the commercial motor or CMV. The FMCSR, state trucking laws, and industry standards as the Professional Truck Driving Institute’s Driver Finishing Standards make up a comprehensive regulatory scheme that motor carriers must follow.

After examining his conscience “before God,” he said in a statement that reverberated around the world on the Internet and on social media, “I have come to the certainty that my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise” of his position as head of the world’s one billion Roman Catholics. A profoundly conservative figure whose papacy was overshadowed by clerical abuse scandals, Benedict, 85, was elected by fellow cardinals in 2005 after the death of John Paul II. The Rev. Federico Lombardi, the Vatican spokesman, said that the pope would continue to carry out his duties until Feb. 28 and that a successor could be elected by Easter, which falls on March 31. But, he added, the timing for an election of a new pope is “not an announcement, it’s a hypothesis.” While there had been questions about Benedict’s health, the timing of his announcement sent shock waves around the world, even though he had in the past endorsed the notion that an incapacitated pope could resign. “The pope took us by surprise,” said Father Lombardi, who explained that many cardinals were in Rome on Monday for a ceremony at the Vatican and heard the pope’s address. Italy’s prime minister, Mario Monti, said he was “very shaken by the unexpected news.” The announcement plunged the Roman Catholic world into intense speculation about who will succeed him and seemed likely to inspire many contrasting evaluations of a papacy that was seen as both conservative and contentious. The pope made his announcement in Latin, but his statement was translated into seven languages: Italian, French, English, German, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish. “In today’s world,” the pope said, “subject to so many rapid changes and shaken by questions of deep relevance for the life of faith, in order to govern the bark of St. Peter and proclaim the gospel, both strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me.” “For this reason,” he continued, “and well aware of the seriousness of this act, with full freedom, I declare that I renounce the ministry of bishop of Rome, successor of St. Peter.” Benedict, the former Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, was elected on April 19, 2005. At a news conference, the Vatican spokesman said the pope did not express strong emotion as he made his announcement but spoke with “great dignity, great concentration and great understanding of the significance of the moment.” Father Lombardi said that the pope would retire first to his summer residence in Castelgandolfo, in the hills outside Rome, and later at a monastery in Vatican City. At the time of his election, Benedict was a popular choice within the college of 115 cardinals who chose him as a man who shared — and at times went beyond — the conservative theology of his predecessor and mentor, John Paul II, and seemed ready to take over the job after serving beside him for more than two decades. In the final years of John Paul II’s papacy, which were dogged by illness, Benedict, then Cardinal Ratzinger, said that if the pope “sees that he absolutely cannot do

Hamilton, 1990). If a young persons journey through school and various kinds of early work experiences could be more connected and purposive, the chances of eventually finding enjoyable and rewarding work might be better. The idea of career majors in the 1994 School-to-Work Opportunities Act was intended as a structure for students to create a coherent sequence of learning and work experiences. In this context, WBL allows students to taste and sample different kinds of work, to understand what is going on and how they might fit in, but without necessarily making any long-term commitment. Many local programs are now sequencing WBL for high school students to start with brief job shadowing visits, and lead to longer experiences later. Based on observations in 1992-93, Pauly, Kopp and Haimson (1995) noted: The widespread use of career exposure activities is particularly striking. Career academies, occupationacademic cluster programs, and restructured vocational programs have worked with employers to create career-exposure opportunities that appear to go far beyond those available to most high school students. There are numerous examples of these activities among the case studies. The co-op placements in Fort Collins include opportunities to participate in several community service activities for short periods so that students can try several different jobs. Job shadowing is used in the Los Angeles, Central Point, and Portland programs to enable students to observe the range of activities of an adult worker during a typical workday. The students participate in job shadowing several times in order to compare the tasks and responsibilities of different jobs. Some employers have developed summer internship programs that expose students to high-skill tasks that are normally reserved for senior employees; working with skilled staff members, Baltimore finance academy students help prepare reports on loan applications and Oakland health academy students have assisted in delivering babies. Borrowing the concept from medical training, some employers rotate students among all of their major production centers; for example, Socorro health academy students spend time in each of the main departments of the largest hospital in El Paso. Students use journals to record and reflect on their workplace experiences in some school-to-work programs, including the Socorro health academy and the Cambridge vocational restructuring program, which also includes a seminar for students to discuss their workplace experiences and journal entries. Since many young people have virtually no knowledge about the world of work, these career-exposure activities can widen their horizons dramatically a particular benefit for students who have no vision of a productive future life (op. cit., pp. 139-140) Revisiting these same programs in mid-1996, the researchers found that WBL sequences and options were being further elaborated. Job shadowing was being used more frequently, sometimes sandwiched between internships. One program required students in grade 10 to complete a job shadowing experience in each of four career paths before choosing one path the next year. Since job shadowing requires less effort than internships on the part of employers, larger numbers of employers are willing to participate in this way. In addition to acquainting students with a variety of work settings, job shadowing provides a way for employers and school staff members to start building a relationship that can lead to more intensive kinds of WBL (Pedraza, Pauly and Kopp, 1997). Students interviewed by NCRVE on the topic of their WBL experiences readily talk about career exploration and decision-making. Excerpts are given in Box 6. Box 6. Career exploration and planning A health academy student in Oakland, California reflected: I think its beneficial because I think with a lot of careers theres misconceptions about what really goes on, how things really work and function. So when youre there you get to see it, you get a complete understanding of it as opposed to reading about it in books. I think it helps you make a better decision. Occasionally, students feel they have found their true calling as a result of their WBL. One student at Roosevelt High School in Portland explained: I knew I wanted to work with people but I really wasnt sure what I wanted to do. And then I was able to go on an internship at an elementary school nearby and work with third graders, and through that experience I made my full decision that I wanted to be a teacher and it really helped me. It just clicked right there. Id been on several job shadows, which is one-day thing, and nothing really I kind of went all over the place

It just clicked right there. Id been on several job shadows, which is one-day thing, and nothing really I kind of went all over the place

with my job shadows and finally with that internship I was able to really see what I wanted. Other students describe how their experiences changed their ideas of what they wanted to do. In a small town in South Carolina, a Medical Science student shadowed an emergency room nurse, realising that she was not cut out for the high pressured and gory work when she passed out. She then began a shadowing experience with a Physical Therapist, first thinking she would just want to be an assistant. He had a lot of paperwork, she explains. I didnt want a lot of paperwork. [...] Then watching this Physical Therapist that Im watching now, she has just set my mind that thats what I want to do. [...] You see different people every day. You do different routines with every person you do. So its not a job Im going to get bored with. An Academy of Finance student at the same school reported similar clarity as a result of a work experience. At first I wanted to be a Real Estate agent and I expressed that interest. The Academy of Finance director offered me the job as a receptionist at a Real Estate office. [...] I found that Real Estate is not my thing Im not that competitive. That really helped a lot because that eliminated it. A field trip to the Federal Reserve with a Banking and Credit class helped her find a new direction. I loved it down there and I thought, well gosh, I know I want to work in a bank! She has requested an internship placement at a bank. Some students say they have not yet settled on any particular kind of work, but their WBL placement has helped them clarify what they do not want. For instance, a student in Oakland declared, At first when I joined the Media Academy I thought I wanted to go into broadcasting, but once I had my internships, I realised thats not what I want to do. At the postsecondary level, an elaborate structure for work-based career exploration and planning has developed at LaGuardia Community College in New York City (Grubb and Badway, 1995). Every full-time day student including those majoring in Liberal Arts is required to enrol in three 12week internships or co-op placements, varying from 15 to 40 hours per week... (p. 4). Students become eligible for co-op after completing all the prerequisites for a major, at least one course in their major, and the co-op preparation course. Each student meets with a co-op faculty adviser to find an appropriate placement. In conjunction with each of their three internships, students also enrol in a six-week seminar. Generally, the seminars provide a framework for analysing and evaluating students internship experiences, linking work experience with critical analysis and reflection. (p. 11) The second in this series of three seminars, titled Fundamentals of Career Advancement, focuses specifically on career planning. Using short practical exercises, research activities and case studies, students gather and analyse information about career options and about four-year colleges. An important element in this second seminar is a map for extracting the greatest potential learning from any work experience, by replicating strategies used by successful executives: seeking challenging assignments; coping with hardships; observing key people; and getting feedback on strengths and areas for improvement (Grubb and Badway, 1995, p. 13). This description illustrates how advanced forms of school-supervised work experience for older students can merge with and enhance the process of lifelong learning at work. Learning all aspects of an industry Learning all aspects of an industry is an explicit objective in the 1990 Perkins Amendments, the 1994 School-to-Work Opportunities Act, and the 1998 Perkins Amendments. This stipulation was intended to ensure that vocational education or school-to-work programs teach more than the skills needed for specific entry-level jobs. According to the Center for Law and Education, a chief proponent of the concept, providing students with understanding and experience in all aspects of an industry or industry sector is essential to integrating academic and vocational education, empowering students to make career choices, preparing them to adapt to technological change, and equipping them to play an active part in economic development of their local communities (Jacobs, 1995, p. 9). Hamilton and Hamilton (1997) add that broader knowledge and skill enables students to participate in flexible work teams, which are becoming more preval

to stop working. Azuki goes to the hospital the next day and begins talking to Mashiro from outside his room. Cover for Detective Trap's first volume Azuki asks which is more important; manga or her. Mashiro says manga. He is determined to continue drawing manga in the hospital, even though he is not allowed to until his health improves. Eiji, Takagi and Mashiro's mom go to the hospital. Once they leave, their editor comes in and requests him to stop. He says the head has put them both on hiatus. However, when he comes in, he says he will be putting them on hiatus till they graduate from high school (even after they come out of hospital) because of his uncle who died from working too hard on manga. Upon finding this out, Team Fukuda boycotted Jump by not doing their mangas for the week until the Editor in Cheif agreed to allow Trap to resume once Mashiro was out of the hospital. Out of concern for his fellow mangakas, Mashiro asked them to stop the boycott. Despite this, however, Mashiro disregarded the Editor in Chief's wishes and did a chapter each week to finish out the year's Jump. Despite some intial annoyance from the staff, Trap was allowed to continue. However, the long hiatus that the manga had been on caused its popularity to decline within the first few weeks. Left with the alternative of creating four new chapters and experimenting with them to see what their readers like and using the leftover ones as a bonus Volume, or use four the remaining chapters, Plan A was used. Despite this setback, Mashiro saw it was a fitting end to the series. Two of Me, Hitman10 and Future Watch Two of Me, Hitman10, and Future Watch are all stories that Takagi and Mashiro make up after the cancellation of Detective Trap. Hitman10 and Two of Me are two series they write for their editor; one of them a comedy and the other one serious. Miura, their editor, favored gag manga, and wants them to write a comedy; Takagi is reluctant because comedy isn't his strong point. Fearing that Miura would automatically pick the comedy, Takagi, and Mashiro also decide to make a one-shot, Future Watch, and submit it for Manga Treasure without letting Miura know. Rough Draft of Future Watch When they turn in the two manga, Two of Me and Hitman10, their editor Miura, as they feared, chose the comedy manga. Miura also found Future Watch as an entry for Treasure which led to him arguing with the pair. Eventually Miura would let Future Watch be sent to Treasure as he was confident that Hitman10 would still do better. Miura later calls them for their weekly meeting but avoids mentioning Future Watch and Treasure. Mashiro and Takagi both surmise that Future Watch had actually done well. Miura later tells them that due to the quality of the works the editors decided to run both Future Watch and Hitman10 as one-shots, and whichever did better would be serialized. Both Takagi and Mashiro thought Furure Watch would do really well. However, the result was not exactly what they had wanted; although Future Watch ranked ahead of Hitman10 it was still only to achieve 9th place in the reader surveys. The two then met with Miura, who collected tons of data that proved comedy was a more stable manga choice because it held more stable rankings even when not highly placed. Takagi agreed with the presented data but Mashiro still argued against doing a comedy as he thought Takagi was more suited to darker mangas. This led to another argument in which Miura stated that they should split up, enraging Takagi. However once they realize how serious Miura was they forgave him and decide to make a comedy manga, however they did not want to do Hitman10. This lead to the creation of Run, Daihatsu Tanto! Run, Daihatsu Tanto Early Version of Run, Daihatsu Tanto A gag manga run by Ashirogi Muto after Trap has ended. At first, Tanto received positive critics from the editors and readers. However, over time, it was slowly outrun by Niizuma Eiji's Crow. Moreover, +Natural also outrun it. They tried to do a lot more change in Tanto, but it's no use

After a depression and pressure, Mashiro called Azuki, yelling that he wants to quit Tanto because there's no hope in surpassing Eiji if they keep on serializing Tanto. With Takagi's consent, the paid Jump a visit and made a deal with the Editor in Chief that they would end their series and spend the next six months coming up with new one-shots for the remaining three serialization meetings they are contracted for. Following advice from both Hattori and Miura, Mashiro and Takagi become wondering on what to do for their next manga. The first two one-shots were a flop, leading to them wondering on what qualified as "serious comedy". This lead to them tailing Hattori on his day off to find him meeting with Iwase, whom tried expressing her feelings to him. Both Mashiro and Takagi knew this was a serious matter but couldn't help but find it amusing. This lead them to figuring out what was a serious comedy.

He wanted to do a one shot because he wanted to get another series because PCP could not get an anime. Mashiro told Takagi that he wanted to do it alone. 5 days later he had no ideas at all. He was thinking about how Fukuda loved motorcycles so he made Road Racer Giri and how Shun loved his dog and he made Rabuta & Peace. He was spaced out all day until he realized what he loved most, Azuki. Stuck on ideas for his love manga Mashiro calls Azuki. Though shy at first, he explains that his rivaling Eiji and Iwase. Azuki reveals that she fell in love with him at first sight and tells him that she'll assist him in any way to make his love story. Reversi vs. Zombie Gun Reversi is a story with two protagonists who have conflicting ideologies. Powered by the black demon Schwarz and the white demon Weiss these middle school lead characters face each other. It is unclear about who is good and who is bad which makes it interesting. On the other hand, Zombie Gun is a supernatural story about a zombie with human feelings desiring to become human once again. When it came time for the Editor in Chief to choose a new manga to become an anime to replace Crow following its end, Reversi was choosen over Zombie Gun; the dream became half-way completed. Eventually, rumors are started by accident about his relationship with Azuki due to a blunder by Ririka on a blog post. Although the post was quickly removed, his former classmate, Ishizawa, aids fuel to the fire, which escalates the rumors to newspaper-worthy news. Moritaka is less than affected by this, but Akito is very worried as it might prevent Moritaka's dream from coming true. Unexpectedly, Fukuda goes on radio after hearing about their relationship and spreads the truth (while shaming the listeners that thought poorly of Miho), much to both Moritaka's and Azuki's delight; Moritaka later told Fukuda (who was worried that both Azuki and Moritaka were mad at him) that they were both grateful for what he did. When Miho was to go on the radio to deny their love, Moritaka was surprised that she boldly told the listeners everything about their relationship. However, Miho was slowly losing confidence with each call she responded to. On Miho's last call response, Moritaka called the station himself and told the listeners that he believed Miho would get the role of Naho with her own skill.. Moritaka later gave his consent to have a public audition for the role of Naho in order for everyone to see Azuki's talent and believed that even if the role was chosen based on popularity, Azuki would surpass everyone Through her determination. The Dream Fullfilled Eiji Niizuma (To Akito Takagi) "You won't become a mangaka. The only ones who make it are a tiny percentage of those with talent, True Geniuses; the other percent are just... Gamblers." [1] (To Miho Azuki) "So, if that dream ever comes true, WILL YOU MARRY ME?!" [2][3] (To Aki

es in-house brands 3 October 2019Isabella Fish Online personal styling service Stitch Fix UK has today launched five in-house women’s and menswear labels for the first time. A Netflix cofounder describes the company's 'unbelievably ridiculous' early pitches and why they worked The Netflix cofounder Marc Randolph at an event in Phoenix. Gage Skidmore/Wikimedia Commons/ The Netflix cofounder Marc Randolph — the author of "That Will Never Work: The Birth of Netflix and the Amazing Life of an Idea" — described to Business Insider the streaming giant's early pitches. The early pitches from the late 1990s positioned Netflix as an online video store where people could buy and rent DVDs by mail. They touted Netflix's convenience and said it had "everything" on DVD. But Randolph said the pitches weren't really about the ideas. "Your idea is wrong," Randolph said. "The real skill is how clever you can be about figuring out a quick and easy and cheap way to demonstrate your idea is viable." Click here for more BI Prime stories. Netflix is nearly unrecognizable today compared with the video store presented in its early pitches, as its cofounder Marc Randolph described to Business Insider in an interview. The entrepreneur, who was also Netflix's first CEO, dug through the company's early archives as research for his book, "That Will Never Work: The Birth of Netflix and the Amazing Life of an Idea," due out on Tuesday. Netflix pitched itself as a video store when it launched in 1998. It touted its convenience and comprehensive DVD collection. Today, DVDs are a minuscule part of the business of Netflix, which streams TV and movies globally and is expected to spend as much as $15 billion on content this year. But the idea wasn't what landed Netflix investors, Randolph said. "Your idea is garbage," Randolph said. "Your idea is wrong. The real skill is how clever you can be about figuring out a quick and easy and cheap way to demonstrate your idea is viable." The early pitches to investors, employees, and other stakeholders positioned Netflix as video store Netflix's early pitches to investors, employees, and other stakeholders in the late 1990s set the company up as a video store. It had due dates and late fees like any other. But Netflix would save you the drive to the store each week by allowing you to place your orders online and receive the titles by mail. The company also touted its comprehensive collection of DVDs. Randolph said Netflix made a point to get every title that was available on DVD at the time — about 970 in all — so it could say it carried every movie put on DVD. "We were able to say we have everything," Randolph said. "We hoped that that convenience and that selection would be enough to offset the fact that you had to wait 48 hours for your disc to arrive." Randolph told employees in May 1998 that Netflix aspired to be one of the 10 largest video chains within three years. "Which of course was pathetically small," Randolph said. "It's still funny to think how unbelievably ridiculous it would have been the point to Netflix then, and say, well look at what it is now." 'It's all about the person — it's not about the idea' It wasn't the ideas in the pitches that made them successful, Randolph said. It was about showing that he could make the ideas work. "It's all about the person — it's not about the idea," Randolph said. "What you really have to demonstrate is that you recognize you're going to try a lot of things. You have to demonstrate you have the persistence to keep trying but you have the creativity to keep coming up with new ideas." When pitching Netflix, Randolph and his cofounder Reed Hastings, who hit on the idea of mailing DVDs during their daily brainstorming sessions while carpooling in Santa Cruz, California, would tell the story of how they tested the idea by buying a Patsy Cline CD at the used record store, dropping it

Website by Great Jakes Follow Us: Home | About Us | History St. Mary-Basha Catholic School History St. Mary-Basha Catholic School has a rich history of providing excellent Catholic formation to students in the Chandler and surrounding communities. The school opened in 1944 on Williams Field Road in south Chandler. Father Joseph Patterson became pastor of St. Mary’s Church in Chandler in 1938. He and Joe Martinez, a parishioner, built the first four classrooms next to the church on the Williams Field Road site. In 1944 the school opened with Sister Mary Felix Clarey as the first principal. Four additional Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill staffed the school in the beginning and served 123 students. In the late 1940’s, classrooms were added that brought St. Mary’s up to eighth grade. In 1963, Mr. Ed Basha recognized the need for extensive repairs on the school building. He built a new school on property he obtained on West Galveston Street. The new school opened in 1964, with the name Basha added to the title. The school was dedicated in a special ceremony by the Bishop in front of the new classrooms. Then, Mr. Adolph Weinberg financed the construction of a convent on the grounds adjacent to the school. The Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill maintained a strong presence in the school throughout the years. In 1984, Sister Mary Norbert Long left her position as Superintendent of Tucson Catholic Schools to become principal at St. Mary-Basha. During her tenure, the school enrollment doubled in size. She also facilitated the expansion of the campus, including construction of several classrooms, a computer lab, library, science lab, a music classroom, and an art room. Sister Mary Norbert worked tirelessly and without pay, to ensure that St. Mary-Basha Catholic School was a loving community of prayer and learning. She instilled high expectations in her teachers and students which elevated our reputation as a school with rigorous academics and strong Catholic identity. Catholic high schools came to expect that St. Mary-Basha graduates would be successful students and leaders among their peers. In recent years, more improvements have taken place on campus. First, the Ramada was enclosed and is now a cafeteria. In 2018, Shea Homes completed a multi-million dollar renovation. St. Mary-Basha Catholic School continues to flourish as a center of spiritual and academic learning in our community. We are still a beacon to young families who want the best well-rounded education for their children. Critical thinking skills are emphasized through our rigorous academic curriculum. Students are exposed to state of the art technology and can participate in various co-curricular activities. We proudly serve over 400 students in grades preschool through eighth. We are accredited by the Western Catholic Educational Association with highest commendation. About Oleg Anisimov Oleg Anisimov was born on January 23, 1974 in the USSR.

Thank you for submitting your work article "An ESCRT-LEM protein surveillance system is poised to directly monitor the nuclear envelope and nuclear transport system" for consideration by eLife. Your article has been reviewed by three peer reviewers, one of whom is a member of our Board of Reviewing Editors, and the evaluation has been overseen by Vivek Malhotra as the Senior Editor. Thaller et al. address the question of how the nuclear envelope (NE) recognizes and repairs damage that has occurred as a result of mechanical tears of the NE or as a result of mis-assembly of the nuclear pore complex (NPC). The authors present evidence that nuclear transport maintains the protein Heh1 on the nuclear side of the NE, and Chm7 – a component of the ESCRT-III membrane remodeling and scission complex – in the cytoplasm. The authors' previous work (Webster et al., 2014 and 2016) established the link between Chm7 and Heh1. In the present manuscript, Heh1 is shown to be required for Chm7 accumulation at nuclear membrane foci, which is taken as an indication of Chm7 activation at the NE – the term 'activation' implies Chm7 polymerization within the larger framework of ESCRT-III, but the nature of this activation beyond accumulation of Chm7 at foci is not developed. A novel light microscopy assay developed by the authors shows that disruption of the NE or of NPC function allows Heh1 and Chm7 to meet locally at the site of disruption and initiate local membrane remodeling. Collectively, the data suggest that recruitment of Chm7 to the sites of Heh1 exposure and subsequent ESCRT-III-dependent membrane sealing represents a surveillance mechanism to repair NE damage and restore nucleocytoplasmic integrity. 1) The title focuses on LEM, but the action is via WH domains. Consider dropping "LEM domain" from the title and/or working "WH domain" into the title in some manner. 2) By fusing NES2 and the whole NES1-NES2 region to GFP, the authors conclude that the NES2 alone is not sufficient for efficient export, whereas the full NES1-NES2 region is export-proficient. As described in the Discussion, a potential MIM domain overlaps the NES2 in Chm7. Because MIMs are sites in ESCRT-III proteins that bind associated factors (most notably, the Vps4 ATPase that disassembles ESCRT-III polymers), the MIM-NES2 overlap raises the possibility that binding of other proteins to the Chm7 MIM could influence the binding of Xpo1? An experiment to assess if the NES1 is sufficient to exclude Chm7 from the nucleus would be important to shed light on this question. 3) The MIM motif in Chm7 was described in Bauer et al., 2015. The authors should cite this paper specifically when they describe this motif (paragraph 2 of the Results section). 4) In Figure 1—figure supplement 1A, please cite a reference for the consensus sequence of the MIM motif. 5) In Figure 3, interaction partners of the mutant Chm7(open) protein are described from pul

ldowns. Heh1 is the top hit (along with ESCRT-III components), but Heh2 is not found as an interaction partner. However, the authors' previous work in Webster et al., 2016, established that the N-terminal domain of Heh2 (a homolog of Heh1) can directly interact with the Chm7 C-terminal domain in vitro. Why is Heh2 not detected as a binding partner in vivo? Are Heh2 levels too low to detect; is there no in-vivo binding possible; or does Heh2 never meet Chm7? Additionally, in Figure 5 the authors show that the WH domain of Heh1 is required for the activation of Chm7. Because Heh2 also contains a WH domain, can we assume that (theoretically) Heh2 is also able to activate Chm7? The authors can do a better job discussing this. 6) The authors should take the opportunity here to expand upon the likely relationship between the NE herniations they observe and those implicated by the Budnik lab in no-NPC mediated RNA export? There is some significant confusion in the field on this point. 7) Figure 3D, bottom row: please indicate more clearly the channel are we looking at, red or green. 8) Figure 3E: Vps60 and Ist1 mutants were also tested according to the figure but are not mentioned anywhere in the text. Why were they chosen and what do the authors conclude from the microscopy? 9) Figure 5: the caption does not cover the contents of panel A and B of this figure at all. Please, rephrase the caption. 10) Subsection “Chm7 binds to an INM platform”, last paragraph – about Vps20: for clarity, add a sentence about why, in vps20-deleted cells, Vps4-GFP is no longer in cytosolic puncta and has increased levels at the Chm7(open) locus. Is it because Vps20 is the endosomal binding partner of Vps4, and by deleting it, more Vps4 is available for binding at the NE? 11) Subsection “Fluorescence ESCRT Targeting and Activation (FETA) Assay”, last paragraph – Figure 5C and D: When Heh1(703-834) is expressed, Chm7-GFP is cytosolic. Is it located at the ER? 12)"there are obvious parallels between morphologies at INM, plasma membrane and endosomes." To make the Discussion an easier read, please explain these obvious parallels in a bit more detail. What was observed in these cited papers? 13) Discussion, fourth paragraph – please correct: accumulation of Chm7 in vps4d pom152d cells, not vps4d only. 14) Discussion, fifth paragraph: in the first line it is stated that the size of the necks at evaginations and herniations is suggestive of the presence of a spiraling polymer as observed in vitro and in vivo. To clarify this statement, it would be good to make explicit what McCullough et al. observed and with what proteins. 15) Typo, "where the mechanism (of) Chm7 recruitment and activation can be decoupled." 16) How is ER distinguished from outer nuclear membrane herniations in tomograms? The authors imply ER membrane as a source involved in repair. 17) If Chm7 is not required for the NE membrane remodeling (as seen in apq12- chm7-double deleted cells) how could the open-mutant active form of Chm7 on its own induce the membrane dynamics seen by tomography? In essence, Chm7 is not needed for this event to occur, but Chm7 induces it. Somehow, that logic needs to be fleshed out. 18) The accumulation of Chm7 at foci in Figure 1C would be more obvious with arrowheads noting a couple of these instances. 19) Why is the bottom row of images in Figure 1C displayed differently than the 2 upper rows? 20) The conclusion regarding the NLS of Lem2 in Kralt et al. is not as described in the manuscript. Kralt et al. found that the NLS of Lem2 is NOT like those of Heh1 or Heh2. Only that of

Commemorating Black History Collegian Editorials The Collegian News Hour The Collegian Sports Podcast Kevin Schuster’s MMA Show Ugly Campus UMass Cursed Scrolling Headlines Student organizations prepare for Advocacy Day By Joseph Carstairs (Collegian File Photo) The Public Higher Education Network of Massachusetts, along with other students and organizations, will go to the Massachusetts State House Great Hall of Flags on March 7 to advocate for additional funding towards higher education. The fifth annual gathering will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. According to Natalie Higgins, executive director of PHENOM, those who register online “will be getting updates and resources to help them on Advocacy Day, as well as information about the campus week of action from Feb. 29 to March 4.” The campus “week of action” will consist of different themes revolving around getting students ready for Advocacy Day, such as how to lobby and information on the issues involved. Aiding in Advocacy Day are two University of Massachusetts registered student organizations: the Massachusetts Public Interest Research Group and the Center for Education Policy and Advocacy. Charlotte Kelly, communications and outreach director for CEPA, says their group’s interest in Advocacy Day stems from a belief that “student power” is a “mechanism for change.” MASSPIRG Chapter Chair Lucas Gutterman said their biggest goal leading up to the event is “recruitment, recruitment, recruitment. We just need a lot of people to show up, because it shows administrators that we are listening.” “The purpose of Advocacy Day is for us to show up at the budgeting process,” Kelly explained. “Every year UMass is allocated a budget from the State House. Basically, it’s proposed by the governor and then the house and the senate can propose their budgets as well. So our role is to ask for the highest amount of money that has been proposed for us.” “We need state funding now more than ever… and it’s really tapered off,” Gutterman said. “What that does is it puts a huge burden on students to fund the University through tuition fees.” This is the first year that Advocacy Day will involve a plea for free education, an idea not thought possible in years past. Gutterman gives thanks to a surge in pro-affordable education politics like Obama’s free community college plan for making this idea even possible. Gutterman said that after Advocacy Day, there will be a reception at the UMass Club in Boston at 4 p.m. “All the legislators are invited,” he said. “There’s going to be undergraduate students presenting research and we’re going to get to talk one-on-one with legislators and show them what we’re actually doing.” Gutterman believes that lobbying senators for increased funding for the UMass system is “the most effective way that we have at our disposal right now to tackle the student debt crisis.” Joseph Carstairs can be reached at [email protected

Jordan Poole hit six 3s, but Phoenix limited Stephen Curry to 12 points on 4-of 21 shooting (3-of-14 from 3). Landry Shamet was cooler than ice cold, but hit a huge 3 that drew the loudest roar from the sellout crowd of 17,071 at Footprint Center. And Chris Paul closed out another Suns victory Tuesday night that tied a franchise record for consecutive wins in the most anticipated regular-season game in recent history. Without their leading scorer, Phoenix pulled away from the Warriors, 104-96, in a battle of the league's top two teams. The Suns (18-3) have now won 17 games in a row to tie a franchise record set in the 2006-07 season and ended a seven-game win streak for the Warriors (18-3). Phoenix forced 23 turnovers that led to 19 points and scored 23 off 15 offensive rebounds. The two teams will meet again Friday in San Francisco. Here are five takeaways from Tuesday's game: 1. With two of the top three defensive teams in the league on display, shots weren't going to be easy to come by. That was definitely the case Tuesday night. Contested looks. Contact on drives. Both teams showed toughness in battling through it, which is why they'll be in the championship conversation this season. But Phoenix made the defensive stops at the end of the game. From forcing a 24-second violation to Mikal Bridges reaching over Draymond Green to steal the entry pass from Curry to Jae Crowder and Deandre Ayton getting steals late, Phoenix won with defense. 2. With Booker out, Suns needed someone to pick up the scoring slack. Ayton scored 11 points in the second half with eight coming in the fourth quarter to finish with a team-high 24 points to go along with 11 rebounds. Paul scored six in the fourth as he finished with 15 points and 11 assists. The biggest number for him was 40, as in playing 40 minutes. Sure he's 36 years old in his 17th NBA season? So those two were the stabilizers that set the stage for Crowder and Shamet to hit perhaps two of the biggest 3 of the night in the fourth quarter. 3:47 left: Crowder 3 gives Suns 97-91 lead. The bucket got Monty Williams so excited, he walked onto the court thinking Steve Kerr called a timeout. Kerr didn't and Williams got a technical foul. Is it Shaqtin A Fool time for him? :56.1 left: Shamet 3 put Suns up, 102-92. Shamet was 1-of-6 from deep before connecting on that one. He's been told to stay aggressive. He doesn't always follow those

to Coffina, McClure and D'Amico first met Bobbitt at an off-ramp near a casino they frequented, at least a month before the GoFundMe campaign went live. They went back to the spot a month later, Coffina said. D'Amico took a picture of McClure and Bobbitt that became the face of the GoFundMe campaign that they started hours later, Coffina said. Investigators reviewed more than 67,000 text messages in the case, including one McClure sent to a friend that read, "Okay so wait the gas part is completely made up, but the guy isn't. I had to make something up to make people feel bad." In other texts, the couple discussed their inability to pay bills and their mounting debts. Fighting fraud GoFundMe's spokesman stressed the crowdfunding site is committed to fighting fraud. "It's important to understand that misuse is very rare on our platform," Whithorne said. "Campaigns with misuse make up less than one tenth of one percent of all campaigns. We have a zero tolerance policy for fraudulent behavior. If fraud occurs, donors get refunded and we work with law enforcement officials to recover the money." According to its website, the company has a Trust and Safety team that reviews GoFundMe campaigns around the clock and works to prevent fraud. It also guarantees a refund for donors in case "something isn't right" with a campaign, the site says. 5 Best buddy movie duos Writer: Casey Chong Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart in "Central Intelligence". The buddy movie genre is not a Hollywood newbie. After all, it is one of the age-old American genres that have long existed since the 1930s with the classic comedy duo of Laurel and Hardy being the earliest example. Back then, buddy movies were more rigid and conservative whereby two different characters are primarily men of same (white) races. But during the height of the genre in the '80s, the buddy movie format evolved with two characters hailing from different races. The earliest example of such a 'hybrid' in the buddy movie genre during the '80s is Walter Hill's "48 HRS", which paired Nick Nolte and Eddie Murphy. Fast-forward to the present day, the genre continues to populate cinemas and the latest movie hailing from it is "Central Intelligence", which stars Dwayne Johnson as CIA agent Bob Stone and Kevin Hart as accountant, Calvin Joyner. Let's take a trip down memory lane and look at the five best buddy movie duos ever seen on screen! 1. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover, "Lethal Weapon" (1987) Danny Glover and Mel Gibson in "Lethal Weapon". "48 HRS" may have been hailed as the "granddaddy of the buddy movie genre" back in 1982, but "Lethal Weapon" made the genre even more popular five years later. Thanks to the creative input from screenwriter Shane Black and director Richard Donner, "Lethal Weapon" was among the classic examples of how buddy movies that feature two mismatched cops should be made. Of course, this movie wouldn't have worked if not for the timeless pairing of Mel Gibson as the suicidal cop Martin Riggs and Danny Glover as the by-the-book cop, Roger Murtaugh. In fact, both of them became so popular among the critics and viewers that "Lethal Weapon" became a lucrative franchise that spawned three more financially successful sequels. 2. Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson, "Die Hard With A Vengeance" (1995) Samuel L. Jackson and Bruce Willis in "Die Hard With A Vengeance". The first two "Die Hard" movies during the late '80s and the early '90s featured Bruce Willis as the street-smart cop John McClane, who was often on his own outsmarting a group of terrorists and saving the day. But in "Die Hard With A Vengeance" a.k.a. "Die Hard 3", John McClane wasn't the lone hero this time around as his character was

But in "Die Hard With A Vengeance" a.k.a. "Die Hard 3", John McClane wasn't the lone hero this time around as his character was

featured alongside Samuel L. Jackson's Zeus, who played an electrician. No doubt the third movie looked more like a buddy movie, even though it did retain most of its classic "Die Hard" elements. While the story was preposterous, "Die Hard With A Vengeance" remained best known for its memorable pairing between Bruce Willis and Samuel L. Jackson. Sure, they cracked a lot of racial slurs that might have felt distasteful to some viewers, however, there was no denying that their chemistry worked like a charm and it made the third movie so much more fun to watch. 3. Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones, "Men In Black" (1997) Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones in "Men In Black". Will Smith was already on the top of the world when he played the cocky hotshot Agent J in the first "Men In Black" movie. After all, the former "The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air" star had enjoyed early successes via "Bad Boys" (1995) and "Independence Day" (1996). In "Men In Black", he gave one of his funniest performances to date when he paired alongside Tommy Lee Jones as the stoic veteran Agent K. With Jones making good use of his signature deadpan look to an effective comic effect, the two leads delivered such a terrific chemistry that most of the movie's box-office success was owed to their charming performances. 4. Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker, "Rush Hour" (1998) Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan in "Rush Hour". Although "Rush Hour" was a formulaic buddy-cop movie that felt like it was done strictly by-the-numbers, it was largely saved by the hilarious pairing of Jackie Chan and Chris Tucker. Jackie Chan was spot-on as the fish-out-of-water HK cop, Detective Inspector Lee and Chris Tucker played the bully LAPD cop, Detective James Carter, who provided most of the movie's memorable comedic moments. The success of "Rush Hour", of course, prompted two more sequels with Chan and Tucker continuing to be the main highlights of these otherwise cliché-ridden movies. 5. Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson, "The Other Guys" (2010) Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne Johnson in "The Other Guys". The central pairing of this hilarious buddy movie parody may belong to Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg, but "The Other Guys" was particularly memorable for the gleefully over-the-top duo featuring Dwayne Johnson and Samuel L. Jackson as two hotshot New York cops, Danson and Highsmith. Thanks to their on point performances, they certainly knew how to mock the traditional "tough-cop-with-bada** attitude" stereotypes to a hilariously absurd level of epic proportions.

to grow and take the next step in her career. That’s a wonderful compliment to us all.” Kerr is the ninth player from Australia to play in England, following the likes of Emily Gielnik (Liverpool), Tanya Oxtoby (Doncaster Belles) and Caitlin Friend (Notts County). On Monday, Australia’s Optus Sport signed a three-year deal with exclusive live rights for the WSL, and will broadcast about 50 matches a season in Kerr’s home country. Why was Kerr in demand? There are not many players who can outscore Kerr. She dominated the Australian W-League, which she featured in from October-April with Perth Glory, and the National Women’s Soccer League in the US, where she played for Chicago Red Stars from April-September. Her 70 goals in the W-League are an all-time record and she has finished as top scorer for two successive seasons. Kerr also tops the all-time charts in the NWSL with 69 goals and picked up the Golden Boot for three years in a row – her latest tally of 18 being the highest in a single campaign. Sam Kerr’s stats for Chicago Red Stars She scored 44% of Chicago Red Stars’ total number of goals this season and finished fifth in the league with five assists – after getting 17 goals in 13 appearances for Perth Glory last season. On the international stage she is just as good. With 38 goals in 83 appearances, Kerr sits fourth in the all-time standings. The only player still active with more goals is Australia co-captain Lisa de Vanna (47) who plays for Italian side Fiorentina. Why has she chosen Chelsea? ‘Sam Kerr has scored them all’ – Aussie superstar hits four While Kerr has proven herself in the NWSL and the W-League, she is yet to test herself among Europe’s elite and that might have been a factor in her exclusion from recent player awards. Many of the best players in the world, including Ballon d’Or winner Ada Hegerberg and Uefa Player of the Year Lucy Bronze, are competing in the Champions League with their clubs. Chelsea reached the semi-finals of the competition last year, but finished third in the WSL, meaning they missed out on qualification this year. They are top of the league, a point above champions Arsenal after five games. BBC Sport has launched #ChangeTheGame to showcase female athletes in a way they never have been before.

Clearly, if the contract expressly deals with the standard of the contractor's performance then, in the absence of ambiguity, the express terms will determine the extent of the contractor's or sub-contractor's legal obligation. However, if the contract is silent on these matters it has long been held that a contractor, or sub-contractor, who agrees to carry out construction works impliedly warrants (that is to say there is a term implied by law) that they will carry out their works with reasonable skill and care (often referred to as the obligation to carry out the works in a good and workmanlike manner). The standard of performance is the same as reasonable skill and care in negligence. The contractor or sub-contractor also warrants that the materials they supply for the purposes of works will be of a merchantable quality, that is to say good of their kind. This warranty is an absolute warranty and extends to latent defects and it will not help the contractor to show that they have exercised reasonable skill and care in the selection of those materials. In the case of 'Young & Marten Limited v McManus Childs Limited', M were developers of a residential housing estate and Y were a firm of roofing sub-contractors. Y provided an estimate for the supply and laying of certain roof tiles subsequent to which M specified that Y should use a particular roof tile called 'Somerset 13'. These tiles were supplied by only one manufacturer, J. Beale & Co. The tiles supplied by Beale appeared to be sound; however, 12 months after completion of the roofs a large number of tiles began to disintegrate, a consequence of a latent defect. M was sued by the purchasers of the houses and M sought indemnity against Y. At first instance, the court rejected M's submission that there was an implied term that the Somerset 13 tiles should be reasonably fit for their purpose and should be of merchantable quality. On appeal the Court of Appeal held: Unless the circumstances of a particular case suffice to exclude then there will be implied into a contract for the supply of work and materials a term that the materials used will be of merchantable quality and a further term that the materials used will be reasonably fit for the

Chinese solar cell manufacturer, Aiko Solar, announced last Friday that it would invest CNY20 billion ($2.8 billion) in 36 GW of new cell production capacity. New capacity will be added to those of existing factories in Yiwu, Zhejiang. According to Aiko, the capacity expansion plan will be implemented in four phases. Aiko said all the lines would be automatized smart lines and compatible with larger wafer sizes up to 210mm. Chinese Ethylene-Vinyl Acetate (EVA) capsulation supplier, Hangzhou First Applied Material, signed an agreement with Japanese electronics manufacturer Kyocera Corporation during the 2020 SNEC show in Shanghai. Through the deal, First Applied has secured exclusive patent authorization from Kyocera for anti-acid technology that makes it possible to reduce the degradation of solar cells by suppressing the generation of acid in EVA under ultraviolet sun rays. The two companies said they would work together in researching and development of new capsulation material. Sources close to China's central government told pv magazine that the proposal of issuing bonds to pay renewable energy subsidies had been approved by key governmental departments, including the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) — the country's central bank, the Ministry of Finance (MoF) and the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC). Corporate bonds with a total of no more than CNY140 billion will be issued by the State Grid and China Southern Power Grid as the first source of funding by the end of 2020. The two national state grids are said to be preparing the issuance plans and reporting to their competent authority, China's State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, for approval. There is still uncertainty about the level of bond interest. Inverter manufacturer Ginlong Solis on Monday released its financial results for the first half of 2020, which show significant increases in both revenue and profits. The company posted an operating income of CNY727 million — 77% more than in the same period a year earlier. Net profit rose to CNY118 million, a 282% increase over the first half of 2019.

In… Detention Centers Resources Sir Thayne Forbes joins Atkin Chambers Sir Thayne Forbes joins Atkin Chambers News, ADR Sir Thayne Forbes has joined Atkin Chambers as a door tenant following his retirement from the High Court and will be accepting arbitration and other ADR appointments. Following a successful career at the Bar from 1966 to 1990, becoming Queen’s Counsel in 1984, he was made Official Referee from 1990 to 1993. He was then appointed as a High Court Judge and assigned to the Queen’s Bench Division and 2 years later as Presiding Judge of the Northern Circuit until 1999. It was during this time that he conducted the high profile trial of Dr Harold Shipman on fifteen separate counts of murder. None of the convictions of the many criminal trials conducted by Sir Thayne during his long judicial career have ever been successfully appealed. From 2001 to 2004 he was the Judge in charge of the Technology and Construction Court. He was then Chair to the Working Group set up by the Judges’ Council to report on Judicial Welfare and Support in 2005/6 and following the Working Group’s report was asked to Chair the Judges’ Council’s Standing Committee on Judicial Welfare and Support. This committee has produced two further reports. At the request of the Lord Chief Justice, Sir Thayne continues to act as the chair of the Standing Committee and as the person with portfolio responsibility for judicial welfare for England and Wales. He finally retired from the High Court Bench in January 2009. Latin America’s 1st ever black female VP — A Jamaican? Epsy Campbell Barr, vice president of Costa Rica 2018-2022 www.en.wikipedia.org On April 1, when jokesters, pranksters and April foolers of the day tricked family and friends with carefully constructed misdeeds, in the Central American nation of Costa Rica, Epsy Alejandra Campbell Barr was elected the very, first of her race to win the second-most sought after seat in government. Back in the day, on a show dubbed “The A-Team” Mr. T would offer a cautionary response to adversaries saying “Pity the fool,” to anyone doubting his mettle and might. However, the date also marked Easter, the Christian celebration of a resurrection recorded in the Bible as a catalyst to transformation, spiritual reconciliation and atonement. On the Sunday when all the votes were tallied and the final count were announced in the capital city of San Jose, the conservative, evangelical slate headed by Fabricio Alvarado had to concede the fact that he had been defeated and the results were neither an April fool’s joke nor a religious confirmation of his anti-gay stance. An even bigger concession was that a Black, woman — liberal candidate Campbell-Barr won by a landslide to serve with Carlos Alvarado (no relation), president-elect and strong supporter of same-sex marriage and LGBT rights whipped him despite his right-wing preaching and championing the cause of conservatism. The loser promised to maintain a status quo with regard to any reforms that would empower the homosexual community there. He allegedly also feuded with the electoral tribunal, which scolded him for failing to submit financial declarations properly. It was a divisive and bitter contest and Campbell-Barr and Alvarado ran on a platform promising unity, rebuilding of infrastructure, and parity of the sexes. Together they swept their opponent’s totals capturing 61 percent of the votes. Campbell-Barr’s approach to the campaign was different, she reportedly reached out to Black Costa Ricans, saying she was “proudly” one of them and urged them to vote “for an inclusive Costa Rica, a Costa Rica where we have a place.” This feminist candidate also reached out to women, informing them they are the “driving force of 21st-century Costa Rica.” She vowed to narrow the gender pay gap.

A district in Norway is courting Americans in the throes of “anywhere but here” Trump angst, ready and waiting to help them find their inner Norwegian. The region of Ringerike just northwest of Oslo has created an actual economic development recruitment effort called “Emigrate Me,” complete with an elaborate website to reach out to disaffected Americans, especially those of Norwegian descent. By their own admission, the outreach project is an ad hoc work in progress coming together just at the election, with the promise of more detailed information to follow. In light of the results of the U.S presidential election, the Ringerike Recovery Program has been developed by the regional development company of Ringerike, Norway. We are offering acute aid to descendants of emigrated Norwegians, and other Americans, considering a new start abroad. The Ringerike Recovery Program was developed by our region’s three mayors; Kjell, Lars and Per. The initiative was built on a sincere wish to help our family and friends in America by offering a tailored recovery program to make the emigration easier. We are proud of what we can offer our new neighbors and colleagues …. There is already quite a bit of information on the website including links to employment sites, real estate and even a data base where you can find out if your ancestors are Norwegian. And what’s not to like? Norway is rich in oil and natural resources, with one of the world’s highest standards of living. Oslo is a glittering Scandinavian city. The United Nation’s Human Development Index has ranked Norway as the world’s best country to live in … for 12 years in a row! The EmigrateMe website notes Ringerike region in particular has a lot to offer including free healthcare and schools, reasonably priced housing, culture and a “high tolerance for religious beliefs and sexual orientation, stunning nature, clean air and fresh water. To this expat, it all sounds too good to be true. There’s a always a catch, right? In this case, there doesn’t really seem to be. We emailed and called the contacts listed on the EmigrateMe website just to make certain this isn’t a hoax. The response links to a page with details, which you can see here. Our first question was, “Why are they doing this?” And the obvious answer is, Norway needs talent. Norway’s land mass is pretty large. If you overlay it on a map of the eastern United States, it stretches from New York State to the Gulf of Mexico. But the total population is only 5.3 million people, slightly less than the population of Atlanta. Ringerike is just north of Oslo, so it’s close to urban attractions and conveniences. The largest city is Hønefos, about 60 miles northwest of Oslo, which looks awesome on the website. Absolutely! We have extended invitations to Miley Cyrus, Bryan Cranston, Cher, Samuel L. Jackson and Jon Stewart to name a few. Who knows — maybe you’ll be neighbors in Ringerike? The site includes this link to the visa application process at The Norwegian Directorate of Immigration (UDI). This is certainly not the first time Dispatches Europe has posted about Norway as a potential expat destination. You can read Willeke van Doorn’s detailed post “The truth behind Norway’s reputation as ‘the happiest place on earth’ “ with the good and the bad about Norway from her research there. Also see our Expat Essentials post, “So, you want to move to Norway …” which has immigration details. And don’t forget to save us some smalahove. A haunted forest. A sinister coven. A hungry god.

Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act is less than explicit. It states that an electoral procedure violates the Act if based on the totality of circumstances, it is shown that the political processes leading to nomination or election in the State or political subdivision are not equally open to participation by [minority voters] in that [minority voters] have less opportunity than other members of the electorate to participate in the political process and to elect representatives of their choice. 42 U.S.C. Sec. 1973(b) (1982). Section 2 forbids two types of electoral procedures: restrictive procedures that prevent members of a minority group from voting and procedures that have the effect of diluting minority voting strength. Butts, 779 F.2d at 148. In this case we confront the issue whether the use of run-off primaries standing alone dilutes minority voting strength. This issue does not lend itself to easy analysis because the phrase "vote dilution" "suggests a norm with respect to which the fact of dilution may be ascertained."

Gingles, the Court nevertheless observed that this list of typical factors is neither comprehensive nor exclusive. While the enumerated factors will often be pertinent to certain types of Sec. 2 violations, particularly to vote dilution claims, other factors may also be relevant and may be considered. Furthermore, the Senate Committee observed that "there is no requirement that any particular number of factors be proved, or that a majority of them point one way or the other.

In analyzing the effect of the run-off primary on the nomination of black candidates, District Judge Eisele quoted from the work of Professor Harold Stanley: The likelihood of black nominees gaining a plurality of the primary vote in a crowded field seems enticing enough to

encourage some to argue for ending the runoff. However, in majority black districts--as supporters of the runoff point out--the lack of a runoff might cause several black candidates to split the black vote and allow a white candidate to gain a plurality nomination. Thus, the runoff can protect and promote black political prospects in majority black districts. Whitfield v. Democratic Party, 686 F.Supp. 1365, 1378 (E.D.Ark.1988) (quoting Stanley, Runoff Primaries and Black Political Influence, in Blacks in Southern Politics 259, 262-63 (1987)). Other commentators agree that invalidating the use of run-off primaries may hamper the ability of black voters to nominate their preferred representatives. McDonald, The Majority Vote Requirement: Its Use and Abuse in the South, 17 Urb.Law. 429, 437-38 (1985); Butler, The Majority Vote Requirement: The Case Against Its Wholesale Elimination, 17 Urb.Law. 441, 454 (1985). The able district judge cited evidence in the record to support his conclusion that the use of run-off primaries does not produce discriminatory effects: "The blacks have a voting age population majority in some of the Justice of the Peace districts in Phillips County. If two or more blacks chose to run in the primary and only one white, then the same possibility, i.e., of a minority white plurality nominee, would occur." Whitfield, 686 F.Supp. at 1378. District Judge Eisele, residing in the state of Arkansas and familiar with its political processes, is in a far better position than we appellate judges to evaluate whether the run-off primary denies black voters an equal opportunity to nominate candidates of their choice. Judge Eisele also reasoned that the existence of the run-off primary has the effect over time of easing racial polarization in voting. "[P]lurality-win statutes or rules promote racial polarization and separation. Run-off provisions promote communication and collaboration among the various constituencies by which coalitions are built." Whitfield, 686 F.Supp. at 1386. In support of this statement, Judge Eisele observed: For Democratic candidates, nomination rules that encourage the seeking of biracial support promote prospects for election. Retaining the runoff can lead to more black-white coalitions that back Democratic candidates who make successful biracial appeals. Courting and composing such biracial coalitions require a politics that is capable of reducing racial polarization, rather than reinforcing it. Such political cooperation between the races provides a more promising basis for collaboration on the eventual nomination and election of southern black candidates. On the other hand, eliminating the runoff where strong racial polarization exists--even if this would produce more black nominees (which seems unlikely)--should mean continued racial polarization.... Id. at 1386 (quoting Stanley, Runoff Primaries and Black Political Influence, in Blacks in Southern Politics 259, 264 (1987)). Racial polarization needs discouragement not enhancement. We should avoid any conclusion, such as the one the majority reaches today, that has the effect of continuing racial polarization in voting. In addition to failing to recognize that the determination of a section 2 violation depends on a searching evaluation of the political process, the majority opinion contains a second flaw: none of the authority cited by the majority supports a conclusion that section 2 applies to run-off primaries standing alone. The majority refers to the Supreme Court's recognition that majority voting requirements are "potentially dilutive electoral devices...." Thornburg v. Gingles, 478 U.S. at 56, 106 S.Ct. at 2769. But the Court in Gingles was referring to the use of majority vote requirements in connection with multi-member districts. The majority also refers to language in Westwego Citizens for Better Gov't v. City of Westwego, 872 F.2d 1201, 1212 (5th Cir.1989), that majority voting requirements "could serve to further dilute the voting strength of

That is, we now have to apply the generalized inverse distribution function of the intended distribution and apply to it. If we would like to receive the standard normal distribution, for instance, needs to be fed into the following (generalized) inverse –shown in Fig. 8– of the Standard Normal distribution: Fig. 8: Inverse of distribution function of Standard Normal distribution Take a while and think about what the function actually does – it takes a value in (i.e. a probability) and assigns it to a real value. For instance, the probability 0.5 is assigned to the real value 0. Values in the left tail of the distribution get a rather small absolute number while values in the right tail get a number very close to zero. That is, the increase in probability is quite small in the tails, which makes a lot of sense given the nature of a normal distribution. In R we need to take the following steps: X <- qnorm(U, mean=0, sd=1) The histogram of , as shown in Fig. 9, is governed by the standard normal distribution. Just as desired.

The difference between inverse and generalized inverse functions will also play a key role in the proof of the Probability Integral Transformation Theorem.

random continuous variable , define . Then: is just the CDF of a Uniform(0,1) random variable. Thus, has a uniform distribution on the interval . >> Wikipedia retrieved in Nov. 2020. The cited “proof” above seems to be quite straight-forward. However, it is not clarified what is meant by applying the “inverse” . In the next subsection we are going to learn more about that step in Lemma 1. The following lemma is the key to the proof of Theorem I. The principle idea is that the basic set can be decomposed into , where stands for the disjoint union. In addition, recall that a distribution function is monotone: if , we have . Lemma 1: Let have a distribution function . Then for all real the following holds: Proof of Lemma 1: Decompose the event as follows: Note that since is monotone. In addition, . Again, due to the monotonicity of we see that . Hence, the intersection is empty. Considering these facts, we can derive Taking probabilities in , the assertion follows since the event has probability zero. Let us re-consider the discrete variable as treated in Example 1 to 3 . Recall that we denote the distribution function of the discrete random variable by . Let us further denote the basic set, that represents the outcome of the Bernoulli trials, by . is defined by number of successes. We therefore have with . In order to further illustrate that, let us consider the set for . The resulting set (failure, failure) has empty intersection with (failure,success) (success,failure) (success,success) . Let us ultimately prove the Probability Integral Transformation Theorem. Proof Theorem I (Probability Integral Transformation): Let . Since is continuous, there exist a real such that .

Conversely, suppose that , then . It follows now that , completing the proof. Generating Normally Distributed Samples in Excel Given the explanations above it is quite obvious how to generate normally distributed samples in Microsoft Excel. What we need are the following ingredients in Excel: Uniformly distributed samples provided in Excel by RAND(); Generalized inverse of normal distribution provided in Excel by NORM.S.INV(probability); According to the Quantile Function Theorem, the outcome will be a standard normally distributed sample. In the first step, we need to generate an uniformly distributed sample by including the formula RAND() in as many cells as we would like to have samples. Then, by filling the formula NORM.S.INV(probability) in corresponding cells the uniformly distributed value is transformed to a standard normally distributed value as illustrated in Fig. 13. Note that the formula NORM.S.INV(probability) is the generalized inverse function of the standard normal distribution. Fig. 13: Excel Example showing how to generate a standard normally distributed sample using NORM.S.INV(probability) We could also use the formula NORM.INV(probability, mean, standard deviation) in order to generate any other normal distribution. Refer to Fig. 14 for an additional illustration. Fig. 14: Excel Example showing how to generate a (standard) normally distributed sample using NORM.INV(probability, mean, standard deviation) According to Microsoft the following list of statistical functions is available. All inverse distribution functions can be used to generate a corresponding sample. Given that continuity is not needed to apply the Quantile Function Theorem, we can also generate discretely distributed samples by applying the same simple algorithm as outlined in the continuous case. Multivariate Case & Copulas This section serves as an outlook on the application of both treated theorems to copulas. It is therefore a perfunctory treatment of the topic. Nonetheless, it will become clear how the Probability Integral Transform is used to define copulas. First, we need some basic notation for the multivariate case: Let denote the dimension of the considered Euclidean vector space . We define a multivariate random variable or random vector as multivariate measurable function. A -interval is the Cartesian product of real intervals and a -box is a closed -interval.

They’re young clinicians who understand our philosophy, the urgency of the global surgical safety crisis, and the long-term impact of known names and familiar faces, working together for their communities. And they’re working with Lifebox to make a difference. Launched in 2015, Lifebox Fellowships are a little bit different. Part clinical and part quality improvement, they’re supervised opportunities for clinicians to develop skills, experience and build on collaborative partnerships. Take a look at our current fellowship opportunities in India and Tanzania. These exciting roles are open to UK anaesthesia clinicians (ST5+). A third is funded through our GE Foundation grant to develop Clean Cut, our new surgical site infection reduction programme; the fourth by Johnson & Johnson, as part of the Tropical Health and Education Trust (THET)’s Africa Grants Programme. Together they show the growing commitment of institutional and commercial voices to safer perioperative care worldwide – an exciting shift. Right, time to meet our Fellows – and try to keep up with them! – here. In today's crowded music industry, it's becoming increasingly difficult for artists to stand out from the pack, but sometimes a facial package of ample weight and gargantuan growth will do the trick. Look out, these hip-hoppers are one hair strand away from disappearing into the abyss of their own beard. Here are some rappers that are most likely to be eaten by their beards. Kaine, Ying Yang Twins: Kaine's beard (above) is extremely glamorous. Aside from the potential of being devoured by his own beard, Kane should also avoid beard-grabbing babies. Beard vs. baby? Baby wins every time. ?uestlove, The Roots: ?uestlove's beard appears to be wearing his face. It should be the other way around. Legend has it that whenever The Roots crew is in dire need of a hit, ?uesto scratches his beard for 15 seconds and - presto! - a whole new masterpiece is born. Rick Ross: You can see that Rick Ross' facial package has already engulfed his entire neck and chin and is now approaching his eyes. Soon that beard is going to disintegrate his entire face into one jolly mix, and all he can do is look on and say, "Bawse!" K-os: Canadian hip-hopper K-os rocks his Island patch with confidence. But if those untamed strands ever connect, his face will disappear in less than five years. W.C.: W.C.'s beard is borderline nightmarish. It looks sturdy enough to support two AKs while C-walking at the same time. Tech N9ne: Tech N9ne is a stunningly imaginative MC with a good ear for music, but what the hell is up with that beard? That thing looks like it has retractable appendages and probably sneaks out in the middle of the night to snack on Doritos. Freeway: Freeway's beard threatened mutiny several times throughout his career. Both parties seem to have reached a compromise on the condition that Free publicly pay homage to his beard. Ladies and Gents, we give you "Freeway's Beard." Joaquin Phoenix: We had to throw this one in for shits and giggles. Joaquin Phoenix moonlighted as a rapper for several months while recording his mockumentary with Casey Affleck. Turns out he was also auditioning for the part of the first human Grizzly Bear. Rick Rubin: Rick Rubin is obviously not a rapper, but we had to bend the rules for the man who brought us Beastie Boys, Public Enemy and Def Jam Records. Rick's beard is so large that you could probably store an extensive library of beat CDs in it. He also looks like a homeless guy who hasn't eaten in decades.

But if those untamed strands ever connect, his face will disappear in less than five years. W.C.: W.C.'s beard is borderline nightmarish. It looks sturdy enough to support two AKs while C-walking at the same time. Tech N9ne: Tech N9ne is a stunningly imaginative MC with a good ear for music, but what the hell is up with that beard? That thing looks like it has retractable appendages and probably sneaks out in the middle of the night to snack on Doritos. Freeway: Freeway's beard threatened mutiny several times throughout his career. Both parties seem to have reached a compromise on the condition that Free publicly pay homage to his beard. Ladies and Gents, we give you "Freeway's Beard." Joaquin Phoenix: We had to throw this one in for shits and giggles. Joaquin Phoenix moonlighted as a rapper for several months while recording his mockumentary with Casey Affleck. Turns out he was also auditioning for the part of the first human Grizzly Bear. Rick Rubin: Rick Rubin is obviously not a rapper, but we had to bend the rules for the man who brought us Beastie Boys, Public Enemy and Def Jam Records. Rick's beard is so large that you could probably store an extensive library of beat CDs in it. He also looks like a homeless guy who hasn't eaten in decades. STEVEN GERRARD has revealed how youngster Jon Flanagan was given a rousing dressing room reception after a top-class performance in the Merseyside derby. Academy graduate Flanagan, playing at left-back

, put in a performance beyond his 20 years to keep Kevin Mirallas quiet. And after a thrilling 3-3 draw, the boyhood Red was met with a round of applause from his impressed Liverpool team-mates. Gerrard said: "You look at our team and our star man for me was Jon Flanagan by a country mile. "He's been fighting hard in training just to get in the 18, never mind the starting 11, but the manager threw him in at the deep end against a top class player like Mirallas and I thought he was sensational. Mt Elbrus 5642m is Europe’s highest mountain and the perfect first big alpine peak. Technically straight forward Elbrus presents a fantastic objective as one of the world famous 7 summits! Situated in the quiet western Caucasus mountain range (Russia) we gradually gain height and acclimatise well before making an attempt to the highest point in Europe. Once acclimatised, our route follows the northen snow slopes to the col between Elbrus’ twin summits, before ascend to the West Peak – the true summit of Europe’s highest mountain! Whilst trekking/mountaineering experience would be beneficial, having previous use of ice axe/crampons is not essential. Elbrus would be ideal for people who have done Mt Toubkal or Kilimanjaro and are looking for their next expedition. However, it would equally suit those with an adventurous spirit and an aptitude for pushing their limits! Why not join one of our Scottish Winter Courses and learn the winter skills before the expedition. The UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office currently advise against “all but essential” travel to the Elbrus Region. Whilst it is possible to obtain travel insurance for this climb, you should read the FCO advice and must yourself accept the risks associated with travelling to this region. Our itinerary is based on Mountain Expeditions own experience of the south side of the mountain and the team will be led by Jonathan Gupta himself. Local mountain guide(s) will assist the team, team members need to carry their own personal gear above base camp. To book your place on the expedition please read the Bookings & Payments page or simply Contact us. 19/06/2019 Arrive into Min Vody Airport (via Moscow). Over night in Kislovodsk. 28/06/2019 3-hours drive to Kislovodsk, celebration dinner! Is it safe in the Elbrus region? Firstly we always take the advise from the FCO website, but during all our previous expeditions we have never come across any problems, just helpful friendly people. We will monitor any change prior to the expedition and keep members up to date. What back up does Mountain Expeditions have in the Elbrus region? Mountain Expeditions works closely with our local agent – highly regarded as one of the best on the mountain. We have 24/7 contact them during the expedition and our summit guide will more than likely have 100+ summits of Elbrus! Yes – The visa application is comprehensive but straightforward, however you require an ‘invitation letter’. We will send you a personalised invitation letter once you have signed up to the expedition. The British Mountaineering Council (BMC) is a good source of information. You require insurance in order to join our expeditions. There are many providers that will cover Elbrus. In a word – amazing! In the valley we are half board at our hotel, and lunches are BBQ in the valley. On the mountain, Mountain Expeditions supplies your breakfast, lunches and mountain snacks, however team members are required to bring 5 boil in the bag meals for evening dinners. This way you get to eat what you want to and its quick and easy – this has worked very well on all past expeditions. If Jon and other members ski off the summit do we come down on our own? Absolutely not – on our summit attempt we are joined by our local guide. If Jon (and others) get to ski down then the local guide will ensure your safety during the descent. The team, the local guide and Jon will always be in radio contact. Do I need to have crampon experience? Whilst some crampon experience would be beneficial it is not essential. Your Mountain Expeditions leader will check and run through crampon session with the team and there is plenty of time to master the basics before you make your

accination campaign,” warns Fernando Moraga-Llop, the vice-president of the Spanish Vaccinology Association. But the most flagrant case to date is that of Manuel Villegas, the regional health chief of Murcia, which is governed by the PP. He and another 400 workers from the regional health department and the Murcia Health Service – including his wife – jumped the line to get vaccinated. Villegas justified the decision by arguing that once frontline health workers were vaccinated, the vaccine was offered to other health workers who requested it. But it wasn’t their turn. Under the Health Ministry’s protocol, only health workers who work in “health centers and care homes” should be vaccinated – which is not the case for the regional health department. And while Villegas is a doctor, he is not working at a medical center. In the wake of the controversy, Villegas resigned from his position on Wednesday. And in Spain’s exclave city of Ceuta, on the northern coast of Africa, the local health chief Javier Guerrero said on Thursday that he will not resign after it emerged that he and 10 other people in his department recently got inoculated. Guerrero, who is a doctor, said that his case has nothing in common with the scandal surrounding Murcia’s health chief, who also has a medical degree. “Responsibility and ethics” In response to the growing irregularities, Illa called on Wednesday for “responsibility and ethics” in the vaccination process, adding that it was up to regional authorities to respond to instances of malpractice. The health minister explained that the priority groups were defined by health experts, with the over-80s next in line for the vaccine. “We must all lead by example, especially those of us who hold public office. I think that says it all,” he said. Spain has administered more than one million doses of the vaccine and 15,642 people have received the two doses, meaning they are on their way to the full protection offered by the immunization. But experts say that while some irregularities are obvious, other instances are less clear cut, such as the group of retired health workers who were vaccinated last week at the Clínico San Carlos hospital in Madrid, or the directors of two hospitals in the Basque Country who also received the vaccine, despite not being “frontline” workers, as stipulated in the Health Ministry’s protocol. Another murky case is that of Iñaki Urdangarin, the brother-in-law of Spanish King Felipe VI, who is serving a five-year, 10-month prison sentence for his involvement in a corruption scandal known as the Nóos case. Urdangarin was vaccinated because he works three days a week as a volunteer at the Hogar Don Orione center for people with disabilities. And the vaccination of soldiers set to leave Spain on international missions also falls in a grey area. In this case, the Health Ministry provided the Defense Ministry with enough doses to vaccinate 200 soldiers from the assault ship Castilla and another 600 from the minehunter Tajo. As the vaccination drive continues, epidemiologists hope that the protocol can be improved so that there are no more problems with line jumping. “I think that the cases that have happened are the exception, not the rule,” says Toni Trilla, the head of preventive medicine at Clínic hospital in Barcelona. “Clear directives and prioritization are lacking. As well as supervision to ensure that nobody skips the rules of the game.” English version by Melissa Kitson.

second one. Mike Adams had a pretty rough outing, giving up one run, but Heath Bell got a four-out save to win the game. In the second game, Kevin Correia started and didn’t have that great of a game. He went 5.1 innings, allowing two runs on three hits with five walks. Not the best, but it’s a good thing that the offense made up for it. Will Venable hit a two-run homer in the fifth. Adrian hit a solo homer in the sixth. In the top of the seventh, Jerry Hairston hit a bro-bi to break the 3-3 tie. Then, in the top of the ninth, Chase Headley hit a solo homer to make the game 5-3. Heath Bell allowed one run while he was trying to get the save, but thankfully he was able to close it out for the series win. There were two outstanding defensive plays by Adrian Gonzalez and Aaron Cunningham which definitely helped us win the game. I love our defense! The third game was kind of belch because we lost. Wade LeBlanc didn’t have a good outing. Oscar Salazar hit a two-run homer, but our pitchers gave up three homers. Adrian broke his 11-game hitting streak. But the good news is that we did extremely well in interleague. We dominated. We are a much better team than years past. I don’t know about you, but I believe that this is a special team. Something great is going on here. I just love the fact that we are in first place and that we’ve been holding it for a very long time. I am so happy that we seem to be heading for a possible championship…but I’m getting ahead of myself. For now, we have to focus on dominating all teams that dare to confront us. We’ve got to keep this winning thing up, and I have complete confidence in my boys that they’ll be able to do that. Do you guys think we need another bat? I’ve been thinking about this question. On one hand, the guys we have right now have been winning consistently for a long period of time. They’ve been getting by, and at some times, dominating. I love the chemistry and balance of this team right now, and I’m worried that any major change would severely disrupt that. (For example, trading away Adrian Gonzalez.) I feel like we’re doing fine right now in terms of bats, but would we be even better by adding a bat? I’m just not sure. I guess I’m so happy with this team and the way they’re playing right now that I don’t want anything to happen that would change it for the worse. I guess I shouldn’t be worried. Things will work out. And hey, we’ve got some celebrating to do now. WE SURVIVED INTERLEAGUE!!!!

increased climate target Tomorrow, the EU is expected to announce its climate contributions towards the Paris climate agreement. The expected decision will build on the European Commission’s Road to Paris vision published last week. Hopes are that Ministers take their chances to address a number of critical issues that risk severely undermining the 40% domestic reduction target. They include a clear commitment to increase the 40% target in case of linking the EU’s emissions trading system (EU ETS) with other carbon markets, the way land use emissions are accounted for and the threat the existing surplus of emission allowances pose on the 2030 climate target. European Commission publishes vision on the Paris Protocol to tackle climate change Today, the European Commission (EC) has published a first glimpse of the mitigation contributions the EU intends to contribute to the Paris Protocol.

It will also need to establish consistency to the ICAO process that is developing a global market based mechanism for aviation emissions. NOT SMART: climate smart agriculture in carbon markets Proposals to include forests and land use activities in existing and new carbon markets will be discussed in Lima. But sequestration of carbon in land cannot compensate for continued fossil fuel emissions – fossil fuel emissions are permanent, whereas storing carbon in forests and soils is temporary and can be easily reversed by cutting down trees and ploughing fields. The pitfalls of climate smart mitigation (WT) Climate Smart Agriculture, a concept promoted as part of a solution to climate change, has been at the heart of international and national debates on agricultural development in recent years. While many stakeholders push to link it to carbon markets, the arguments of inappropriateness of such system are gaining ground. Watch This!

NGO Newsletter… Recode – Short documentary on Forest Carbon Synopsis Recode takes a fresh look at forest carbon; exploring the initiatives currently being developed to reduce emissions with forest resources.

By Alysia Gray Painter • Published at 9:36 am on May 15, 2012 Sometimes we worry for a bug's sense of self and general overall confidence. Why? Because we humans see something with wings or multiple legs and we say "ew, a bug," not realizing what we're looking at is a rather elegant Polyphemus moth or a Blue ring centipede. But there are people out there who love their Polyphemus moths and Blue ring centipedes and only pull out the word "bug" when talking about a lot of insects at once, rather than individual creatures. And if you want a lot of insects at once you'll be at the Natural History Museum for its annual Bug Fair on Saturday, May 19 and Sunday, May 20. This thing is as big as a ladybug

The pitfalls of climate smart mitigation (WT) Climate Smart Agriculture, a concept promoted as part of a solution to climate change, has been at the heart of international and national debates on agricultural development in recent years. While many stakeholders push to link it to carbon markets, the arguments of inappropriateness of such system are gaining ground. Watch This! NGO Voices on Carbon Markets #9 June 2014 We are happy to present this edition of the Watch This! NGO Newsletter… Recode – Short documentary on Forest Carbon Synopsis Recode takes a fresh look at forest carbon; exploring the initiatives currently being developed to reduce emissions with forest resources. While outlining the current market approaches to emission sequestration, Recode addresses some of the drivers of deforestation and various efforts aimed at its containment in developing countries.

By Alysia Gray Painter • Published at 9:36 am on May 15, 2012 Sometimes we worry for a bug's sense of self and general overall confidence. Why? Because we humans see something with wings or multiple legs and we say "ew, a bug," not realizing what we're looking at is a rather elegant Polyphemus moth or a Blue ring centipede. But there are people out there who love their Polyphemus moths and Blue ring centipedes and only pull out the word "bug" when talking about a lot of insects at once, rather than individual creatures. And if you want a lot of insects at once you'll be at the Natural History Museum for its annual Bug Fair on Saturday, May 19 and Sunday, May 20. This thing is as big as a ladybug

is small; it is, in fact, "the biggest bug festival in North America." Over 70 vendors show with all sorts of alive, and formerly alive, examples of insectia. Some creatures are merely for display, some will take parts in docent talks (those are often the ones brave visitors get to hold), and some are for sale. There's also a Praying Mantis walkabout, a Honeybee walkabout, a Flower Fly walkabout, and a bunch of other special sessions throughout both days. Oh yeah, and the always fascinating and somewhat appetizing cooking demo. Crunch crunch. It's also the Year of the Fly, says the museum, so expect to see fly-related information and experts. Oh flies. In our hearts, we try to find patience. We really try. Maybe a visit to Bug Fair will help us see the world through your multi-lens compound eyes. Bug Fair is part of your NHM museum entrance fee, so there's nothing extra on top of that to attend. Do note, however, that entrance to the Butterfly Pavilion is extra. Wait. Butterflies have "fly" in their name, and we adore them. Okay. We're halfway there, to a better fly-based understanding. Heart opening wider.

The official lineup boasted Kings of Leon, Alicia Keys, John Mayer, and Stevie Wonder, but concertgoers were also treated to surprise appearances by Janelle Monáe, Bono, and Maxwell. Unfortunately, there seemed to be a disconnect between the goal of the event and the means to achieve that goal. Kings of Leon played what felt like a standard set, with numbers off their new album, Mechanical Bull, none of which seemed to play into the festival's overriding themes of reform and equality. Alicia Keys thrilled the audience with her impressive vocal range and piano riffs, but did not speak much about the evening's cause, oustide a brief dedication. Mayer's soulful performance of "Waiting on the World to Change" was an ironic addition to a concert about taking action, but his guitar solos and crooning were enough to make anyone disregard the oversight. Seeing the great Stevie Wonder was something I never thought would happen, and the music was as groovy and heartfelt as one would expect. His rendition of "Imagine" was prefaced with a speech about gun-control laws in the United States—slightly off topic, but no less serious an issue. Overall, the Global Citizen Festival featured some great music and a large crowd of enthusastic concertgoers, but ultimately fell short of making the impact it intended. Finding like-minded performers to represent the Global Citizen agenda should be the main goal for next year's event; otherwise, it would be best to find another way to rally the troops.

Hermann Historica GmbH China Sets Tier II Rules for Ships in Domestic Trade The Tier II/III standards were introduced by Annex VI amendments adopted in 2008, imposing new fuel quality requirements in 2011, Tier II and III NOx emission standards for new engines, and Tier I NOx requirements for existing pre-2000 engines. The move is being announced as part of the country’s efforts to improve the quality of its waterway transportation and cutting air pollution. The ministry said that the measure would be in force for five years and that relevant inspection and maritime agencies will conduct regular controls of both Chinese and international ships to ensure the requirements are met. Earlier this year, China announced that it plans to stop allowing the recycling of international ships at its yards as of the beginning of 2019. The decision comes on the back of China’s efforts to crack down on polluter and waste producing industries in the country, which have seen many yards denied their ship recycling licenses. The Chinese-flagged ships will be allowed to continue to be dismantled at Chinese yards, however, the Government of China will no longer provide subsidies for the branch, as decided last year. The decision is expected to slash global capacity for environmentally-friendly recycling of ships, despite the ongoing efforts from Indian yards to become compliant with the Hong Kong Convention. Hence, owners would have to start to take these yards more seriously in addition to those in Turkey.

How has it been for you to have stood out so much for being one of the few Brazilian voices growing on the heavy metal scene around the world? Hi, it's my pleasure. It has been amazing to be having these opportunities to show my work to so many people. I'm really grateful for them. How is your routine of study and vocal preparation? How singing is my job, so I'm always on the go. I try to use every opportunity I have to improve technically, and when I have time, I study a lot at home, or I have some singing lessons. Lately I have been studying and practicing every day. What was it like touring with Avantasia? And is it true that it was Amanda Sommerville herself who asked you to replace her at the shows? Yes! Amanda and I had been working together for some years. When she realized she could not do some Avantasia shows, she called me. I only did 4 Ghostlights Tour shows, but it was an amazing hope! Sharing the stage with those guys is a challenge and a blessing, haha. Will you be releasing this year's first Phantom Elite Band "Wasteland" album what can we expect from the album? Exactly, will be released in Brazil inclusive, April 15. Expect plenty of progressive and experimental touches, plus striking melodies and murderous riffs, haha. An album difficult to fit into a single genre, and a great option for those who want to hear something different. In addition to rock bands you have also participated in plays and musicals. Are there any that you have not yet participated but dream of doing? Honestly, I've just been part of my favorite musical, RENT.

quez. But I have not done many pieces yet, and there are many that I dream of doing ... the great productions of Disney, for example. And Hamilton, of course! Haha ha. Now about Exit Eden, the album "Rhapsodies in Black" became a hit here in Brazil as it was for you to participate in this project and what is your favorite music? The Exit Eden was and is a pleasure. It's an organized, well-structured production, and my bandmates are talented and hardworking. We get along very well on stage and outside, and we always make decisions as a team. My favorite Rhapsodies in Black song is "Paparazzi", hehe. Did the band expect such a warm reception from the audience? Not at all! Haha. We even feared that much of the audience might be prejudiced, or simply not in tune with the album's proposal. But we were wrong, great! How is this cultural plurality when you join 4 singers from different countries? I think we have more in common than we think, haha. We have very similar themes and interests. And I think in this business people are accustomed to working with people from all over the world, so there is not much cultural friction. What was it like working with Simone Simons on the album? Simone spent most of her time in direct contact with the producers. With so many different schedules among all of us and difficult times to reconcile, we had to record many separate things. She recorded the vocals in her studio. When the Phantom Elite was released you would be a band playing songs from the H.D.K project. live but now you are an authoring group with your own style, when did you decide to make that change? We decided to take that step forward right away, haha. It took us a long time to release the first singles and finish recording the first album, but we had been rehearsing and writing in the studio for over 3 years. Now one thing that all Brazilians are asking: When will you come to do shows in Brazil? I would love it to be next week already! Hehe, but the fact is that organizing shows out there, whether with Phantom Elite or Exit Eden, costs a lot of money. Therefore, shows in Brazil or Latin America can only roll when our reach out there is enough to not go bankrupt. ?? The more people who buy the albums and ask for our visit, the greater the chances! Would you like to leave a message to the Brazilian fans? I would like to send a huge thank you to all my countrymen, so dedicated music fans! It sounds like "crap," but your support is worth a LOT. I can not wait to share this Brazilian energy on stage! A hug, and thank you for the opportunity!

Mass repressions began, where artists also suffered as a result. Part of the population was deported to Siberia; artists fled to the West and those who remained in Latvia, fearful for their lives, did not freely show their works. The development of culture in Latvia was very isolated from the European context. Ideological censorship was particularly active during Stalin's the time. However, there were also artists who were able to create high quality works by using canons of socialistic realism. For example, painter Eduards Kalniņš made “Jaunās buras” (New Sails) in 1945. The USSR Academy of Art formulated a theory of socialist realism - an outline of standards with a hierarchy of themes and genres including revolutionary history, the rise of socialism, farm workers, etc. In 1941 the Latvian SSR Artists’ Union was established. In the beginning, this institution monitored and 're-educated' artists. Later the Artists' Union enabled artists to sign pan-union contracts, receive comm

The Miskito folks generally eat the meat of the inexperienced turtle as a staple protein of their food plan. But within the first half of the twentieth century, overseas demand for turtle meat increased and the Miskito discovered that they may earn more by promoting the meat. How Trans Understanding Easy Products In Literary Analysis Conclusion HomeJudiciaryJudiciary cannot be controlled or else ‘rule of law’ will become illusory,... Judiciary cannot be controlled or else ‘rule of law’ will become illusory, CJI Ramana says CJI N.V. Ramana cautioned judges against getting swayed by the emotional pitch of public opinion, and also said media trials cannot be a guiding factor in deciding cases. Chief Justice of India NV Ramana | ANI File Photo New Delhi: Judiciary cannot be controlled, directly or indirectly, by the legislature or the executive, or else the ‘rule of law’ would become illusory, Chief Justice of India N V Ramana asserted on Wednesday and at the same time cautioned judges against being swayed by social media. The new media tools that have an enormous amplifying ability are incapable of distinguishing between right and wrong, good and bad and the real and fake. Therefore, media trials cannot be a guiding factor in deciding cases,” the CJI said, adding it is also imperative to start a discourse as to how social media trends can affect the institutions. CJI Ramana made the observations while delivering the ’17th Justice P. D. Desai Memorial Lecture’. “For the judiciary to apply checks on governmental power and action, it has to have complete freedom. The judiciary cannot be controlled, directly or indirectly, by the legislature or the executive, or else the rule of law would become illusory. At the same time, judges should not be swayed by the emotional pitch of public opinion either, which is getting amplified through social media platforms, the CJI said. He added that the judges have to be mindful of the fact that the noise thus amplified is not necessarily reflective of what is right. It is therefore extremely vital to function independently and withstand all external aids and pressures. “While there is a lot discussion about the pressure from the executive, it is also imperative to start a discourse as to how social media trends can affect the institutions, he added. Noting the unprecedented crisis being faced by the entire world due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the CJI said, We necessarily have to pause and ask ourselves as to what extent we have used the ‘rule of law’ to ensure protection to and welfare of all of our people. I began to feel that this pandemic might yet be a mere curtain-raiser to much larger crises in the decades to come. Surely we must at least begin the process of analysing what we did right and where we went wrong, he said. The CJI added that in a democratic country like India, access to justice forms the bedrock of the rule of law and urged all to extend a helping hand to those in need. However, this guarantee of equal justice will be rendered meaningless if the vulnerable sections are unable to enjoy their rights because of their poverty or illiteracy or any other kind of weakness, he said. He said that gender equality is very important and legal empowerment of women not only enables them to advocate for their rights and needs in society but also increases their visibility in the legal reform process and allows their participation in it. Bias and prejudice necessarily lead to injustice, particularly when it relates to the minorities, he added. The CJI said that any law backed by a sovereign must be tempered by certain ideals or tenets of justice. Only a State that is governed by such law, can be said to have the Rule of Law . I would urge both young and senior counsel to extend a helping hand to those in

An Oral History of the Fall of the Soviet Union Belarusian author, journalist, oral historian, and now also a political dissident Svetlana Alexievich, to use that chilling Stalinist phrase about writers, is a certified “engineer of human souls” and has a Nobel prize to prove it. Four decades ago she acquired a tape recorder (500 rubles, an astronomic number for your run-of-the-mill 100 rubles desk job salary) and set out to catalogue a multitude of voices, old and young, surging in a cacophonic symphony of victimhood and heroism from every far and near corner of the Land of the Soviets. Six books were born out of this labour, each one a raw manifesto of truth, suturing a particular apocalyptic wound (Second World War, Afghanistan War, and Chernobyl, among them). This is not the kind of literary product one can savour with a glass of flinty Chablis, half-listening to the analog grit of some fresh lo-fi chillop. This is work both for the intellectual and the emotional aspects of readership, often punctured by tears, but always ending in a classic cleaning catharsis. I am fortunate to be able to read Alexievich in the original Russian, but even the English translations retain the thunderbolt strength of her laconicism. Truly, if the story (in this case, hundreds of stories) is enthralling, it requires no embellishment (sorry, Tolkien). Today, as the pandemic world convulses in the corrosive slops of populism, and in Alexievich’s native Belarus the emboldened dictator releases smug videos of himself with an automated gun (and his own underage son grotesquely clad in a spetznaz uniform), I revisit her Secondhand Time in search of answers, clues, and prophesies. What is the essence of a Soviet (and post-Soviet) person? What knowledge (if any) has been retained after decades with so much happening within them and yet with so little to show? What hope is there for hundreds of millions of identities stumbling, half-conscious, from ideology into ideology? Alexievich the chronicler, Alexievich the therapist, Alexievich the compassionate anthropologist… It is precisely this nurse-like compassion that makes Secondhand Time such a precious jewel among numerous other attempts to understand the “Soviet mystique.” Solzhenitsyn did this in Gulag Archipelago and in pretty much everything else he’s said or written, and also Aleksandr Zinovyev did this with his sarcastic buzzword Homo Sovieticus. This archetypal “Soviet man” is, in the words of Leszek Kolakowski, an “ideological schizophrenic, honest liar, a person always ready for constant and voluntary mental self-mutilations.” Bingo. That’s exactly it. Alexievich treads the very same conceptual path that Zinovyev and Solzhenitsyn stepped on before her, capturing the essence of homo sovieticuses from Belarus to Kazakhstan. What is this essence? Emanating from a breadth of ethnically and religiously diverse voices, the Homo Sovieticus is a brittle jelly held together by one thing and one thing only – a terrifying ability to consciously gobble up lies and to rationalize brain-frying contradictions. Homo Sovieticus reconciles the irreconcilable within the humble square footage of his grey matter. Homo Sovieticus is at once pitiable, admirable, loathsome, pathetic, heroic, insightful, ignorant, passionate, and inert. Homo Sovieticus, coming out of Alexievich’s pages, can start a sentence opening up about his parents being butchered by the Soviet regime, and finish off with emotional nostalgia over the golden years of Soviet bounty and the vitriolic indictment of democracy. There is no logic, no cause-and-effect relationship. There is only Stockholm syndrome and a severe, pan-national, untreated PTSD. Many Westerners and ex-Soviets (the ones younger or simply fortunate to be better oriented in matters of history and truth) scoff at the Homo Sovieticus for possessing the naivete

What is the essence of a Soviet (and post-Soviet) person? What knowledge (if any) has been retained after decades with so much happening within them and yet with so little to show? What hope is there for hundreds of millions of identities stumbling, half-conscious, from ideology into ideology? Alexievich the chronicler, Alexievich the therapist, Alexievich the compassionate anthropologist… It is precisely this nurse-like compassion that makes Secondhand Time such a precious jewel among numerous other attempts to understand the “Soviet mystique.” Solzhenitsyn did this in Gulag Archipelago and in pretty much everything else he’s said or written, and also Aleksandr Zinovyev did this with his sarcastic buzzword Homo Sovieticus. This archetypal “Soviet man” is, in the words of Leszek Kolakowski, an “ideological schizophrenic, honest liar, a person always ready for constant and voluntary mental self-mutilations.” Bingo. That’s exactly it. Alexievich treads the very same conceptual path that Zinovyev and Solzhenitsyn stepped on before her, capturing the essence of homo sovieticuses from Belarus to Kazakhstan. What is this essence? Emanating from a breadth of ethnically and religiously diverse voices, the Homo Sovieticus is a brittle jelly held together by one thing and one thing only – a terrifying ability to consciously gobble up lies and to rationalize brain-frying contradictions. Homo Sovieticus reconciles the irreconcilable within the humble square footage of his grey matter. Homo Sovieticus is at once pitiable, admirable, loathsome, pathetic, heroic, insightful, ignorant, passionate, and inert. Homo Sovieticus, coming out of Alexievich’s pages, can start a sentence opening up about his parents being butchered by the Soviet regime, and finish off with emotional nostalgia over the golden years of Soviet bounty and the vitriolic indictment of democracy. There is no logic, no cause-and-effect relationship. There is only Stockholm syndrome and a severe, pan-national, untreated PTSD. Many Westerners and ex-Soviets (the ones younger or simply fortunate to be better oriented in matters of history and truth) scoff at the Homo Sovieticus for possessing the naivete

of a blind kitten. Not Alexievich. There isn’t an ounce of ridicule in her approach. Instead, there is a profoundly humanist understanding of immeasurable loss and confusion, of deracinated personhood, and of a perpetually shifting system of ideological coordinates that only amplifies this disorientation. At work you say one thing, at home another, you pretend to do your job, your employer pretends to pay you, in public you pretend to be atheist while at home you teach your kids to say the namaz, and on and on it goes, this neverending umbilical cord of duplicity, chaining a person to the regime of lies. Why is this Homo Sovieticus anthropology important today? Well, for one it helps explain Transdnistria, Abkhasia, Crimea, Donbas, and other scenarios as something more than just bona fide putinist imperialism. This is a war for the last remaining grey matter square footage of the last remaining Homo Sovieticus generation. More globally, Alexievich’s catalogue of Soviet souls, read against the backdrop of today’s fake news pandemic, clearly demonstrates just what kind of dire consequences befall the people who are brainwashed into kissing the cold portraits of their family’s murderers. Every and all evil can be excused if we cannot even agree whether the sky is blue… Image: Vasily Kolotevy, Queue.

a fire and his sojourn with her family is especially enlightening for him. His time with Maria and her brothers throws his own experiences into sharp relief, and he suddenly becomes keenly and painfully aware of the childhood that he has been denied. Though his body is that of a child, he has seen so much in life that he no longer cares to go on living. The children’s mother does not understand him because she realises that he is not a child like her own. She does not want Maria’s innocent, carefree childhood to be spoiled by the knowledge David has learned through his experiences in the camp. He knows the miseries and sorrows of an adult world because in many ways, emotionally at least, David is not a child; he is an adult, bound to be an observer and never a participant, bound never to experience a childhood like Maria’s. This newfound awareness of their vulnerability and isolation weighs heavily on each of the children in these texts. Sophie can no longer engage in the pretending game she and Hugh would play when they were sick or bored or scared. As she watches Hugh pretending to be somewhere else, enjoying the innocence of his childlike perception of the world, she realises that she herself cannot imagine anything beyond her present circumstances. She wonders if she is getting too old for the game. The freedoms of childhood are slowly being stripped away from Sophie as the experience of war closes in on her. Ruth Balicki experiences a similar realisation in The Silver Sword, the story of three Polish children and their epic journey to be reunited with their mother and father following the collapse of Warsaw during World War II. On a train with Bronia, as the little girl lies sleeping and dreaming on her lap, Ruth becomes suddenly and permanently aware that she herself is no longer a child; that she can no longer be a child who believes in the power of fairytales and happy endings. In assuming responsibility for her family’s future happiness she must sacrifice her own childhood. That sacrifice becomes part of the happiness she will experience when her family is restored. The children’s happiness, in many ways, depends on Ruth and on her capacity to fulfil the role of mother for them. Various adult figures she encounters in the narrative describe her as serene, self-assured and possessed with a sense of purpose and moral authority. If Ruth is no longer a child in emotional terms, she is not yet an adult either; she exists – in a world that has been utterly changed by the war – in a liminal space between childhood and adulthood. Hers is a heightened and charged experience of childhood; in the chaos of the war, when all identities are in transition, are shifting and inconstant, she has created a new meaning within the sphere of childhood; she has redefined what it means to be a child. The various responses the children express towards the idea of war raises the question of whether or not they are capable of experiencing happiness in the aftermath of the traumatic rupture of their childhood. Sophie hates the war with the clarity of a child’s perspective; it has changed everything, turned her world upside down and made the world around her unreliable and unstable. Even her home is no longer her home; even her mother has been changed by the violent impact of the conflict. She muses that grownups have forgotten what it means to be a child; the knowledge of knowing that one cannot control the events of one’s life and the fear that creates at the heart of the childhood experience. Sophie is scared because everything is changing. Jan hates the war with the same single-minded clarity; he condemns all soldiers, irrespective of their circumstances. David hates the way a grown man hates, with the conviction of experience. He believes his hatred is an appropriate and righteous response to the violence Carlos displays towards him; he does not appreciate that Carlos is a child because he does not appreciate – or even understand – that he is a child himself. For David, such actions are final, their consequences irreversible, unforgivable. The experience of war teaches the children how to hate; the happiness they are striving for becomes, in this context, a source of rehabilitation. Bronia, as the youngest of the Balicki family, remains a child within the text. She sees Ruth as her mother and takes comfort in her assurances. She has the largest capacity for happiness of all of the children, perhaps because she herself has not been as traumatized by the conflict; she has not been forced to grow up

She has the largest capacity for happiness of all of the children, perhaps because she herself has not been as traumatized by the conflict; she has not been forced to grow up

; rather she has become a child of the war. Ruth rarely despairs throughout the text. Her faith, symbolized in her love of the Old Testament story of David in the lions’ den, sustains her, not least because of the associations it holds for her of her mother and of past happiness. She survives because she assumes the role of mother and leader of the family. Though she is initially slow to adapt herself to the new life they must lead, she realises that she can make sure that Bronia is shielded from the experience of war. By investing in her little sister’s happiness, Ruth creates the possibility of a future for herself and the other children. When Edek tells the story of his ordeal riding in the undercarriage of the truck, Ruth takes his hand again and clasps it as though she means to never let it go again. She tells her brother that nothing like this must ever happen to him again. But crucially she does not categorically say that nothing like that will ever happen to him again; this is the adult awareness of their vulnerability in the world that Ruth has had to shoulder. It is this adult awareness that traumatizes her childhood and forces her to grow up so quickly. David responds to the war by choosing to live. When he escapes from the camp, David exists very much outside his own life, even outside the possession of his own body. In the quiet nights, he can hear a whimpering sound; it is only later that he realises the sound must have been coming from him. His journey into happiness becomes a journey into himself, into a possession of his life and his freedom. Initially he will not even allow himself to think; survival in the camp means living at a distance from oneself, from one’s mind and body. David is close to death for much of the narrative. The Italian sailor he encounters cannot shake off the feeling that the little boy in front of him is going to die. He has lived with an awareness of his own death for much of his childhood; it is only as his journey progresses, as he moves deeper into his life and further from the barren periphery of his previous existence that he begins to be affected by the landscape and the people he encounters. Standing on a mountainside, gazing at the colours of the landscape around him, he discovers that he is crying. He has lived independently of his body for so long that he does not recognize his own reactions, his own urges and desires. Experiencing the beauty of the world for the first time, he realises that he does not want to die. More than that, he knows he wants to live. This is when David begins to fully inhabit his body and his own existence. He looks ‘again and again upon the blueness of the sea’ (Holm 30) and it is in this act, in this looking and looking again that he begins the process of living, the movement towards eventual happiness. Hugh learns how to be happy again in Ireland, living in the moment, playing in the safety of a neutral space; his face loses the frightened, tense look that Sophie recognizes from the faces of the children at home in war-torn London. As the younger of the two children he does not develop the same awareness of the gravity of their situation as Sophie does. He remains, like Bronia, in a dream world, removed from the total reality of the war. As such, his childhood can be rehabilitated; memory for him does not hold the same primacy that it does for Sophie. She does not want to forget. For Sophie – and for the other children as well – surviving the way becomes a matter of remembering, of constantly reaffirming the existence of a former life. It is only when Sophie articulates her fear, in the moment when her grandfather takes her in his arms and physically holds her that she begins to come to terms with the effect the war has had on her childhood. She is a child who knows that she is no longer child, that she can never be the same little girl she was before the war. She is aware of the ‘awful sadness of war’ (Conlon McKenna 128); she has experienced it herself and she has realised that the idea of home will now forever be associated with the conflict that destroyed it. Happiness then is founded on the acknowledgement of trauma and on the belief that that trauma can be healed. In each of the texts, in the face of the chaos created by the war, happiness becomes a matter of memory, a feeling and an experience to be preserved. Life becomes a matter of survival until such

Tillman had held the Yankees scoreless on two hits and two walks and struck out five in

five innings before Arcia’s blast chased him from the game. The Yankees, meanwhile, got four strong innings of shutout baseball from 26-year-old left-hander Vidal Nuno. Nuno yielded only a hit and a walk while he fanned three batters against an Orioles lineup that included starters Nick Markakis, J.J. Hardy, Nelson Cruz and Chris Davis. Unfortunately for the Yankees, the Orioles tied the score with two out in the sixth when Davis launched his third home run of the spring off right-hander Danny Burawa. The Yankees’ Grapefruit League record slipped to 8-8-2. The Orioles improved their record to 10-5. Nuno made a strong case for the fifth spot in the rotation with his effort on Saturday. Nuno threw 38 of his 59 pitches for strikes and only reached three-ball counts on three hitters. Nuno spotted his fastball well and mixed in his off-speed pitches more to keep the Orioles off-balance. Though Michael Pineda is expected to get the No. 5 spot, Nuno showed he deserves some consideration. His spring ERA is now down to 1.50. Brian Roberts was one of the few starters to make the trip and he had a great day against his former teammates. Roberts was 2-for-3 and he also contributed a fine defensive play in the sixth inning to rob Cruz of a single. Roberts, 36, may not be Robinson Cano but he is a fine second baseman as long as he can stay healthy. Ramon Flores was 2-for-3 on Saturday, including a double and single. Flores, 21, is hitting only .217 this spring but, after a season where he hit .260 with six homers and 55 RBIs in 136 games at Double-A Trenton, he will have a chance to develop this season at Triple A. It may be time for Ichiro Suzuki to admit that his days in baseball are waning. He was 0-for-3 on Saturday and he is 3-for-24 (.125) this spring with only three singles and two RBIs. He has not really stung the ball much this spring either. Though the Yankees might be open to trade Suzuki, it is hard to see if there would be any suitors for his services. Suzuki is in the final year of two-year contract with the Yankees and he is slated to be the fifth outfielder this season. After getting off to a quick start with the bat this spring, Austin Romine has been slumping of late. Romine, 25, batted cleanup and was 0-for-2 with a walk on Saturday. He is 5-for-25 (.200) with no RBIs in 11 games. Though Romine is a superior defensive catcher, his weak bat makes it almost certain that Francisco Cervelli will win the backup catching job. Romine likely will be sent to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Burawa learned a valuable pitching lesson on Saturday. With two out in the sixth, Davis came up the plate for his last at-bat with his team trailing 1-0. Obviously Davis was thinking about hitting a home run to tie it. Burawa, 25, opted to pitch aggressively to Davis instead of making him hit pitches out of the strike zone. His 1-1 fastball was thigh high and Davis drove it deep to left-center and over the wall. If he had walked Davis, Burawa would then have pitched to Steve Pearce, a journeyman who had four homers last season. Davis hit 53. Duh! The Yankees split squad returns to George M. Steinbrenner Field on Sunday to play host to the Atlanta Braves. Free-agent right-hander Masahiro Tanaka will make his second start of the spring for the Yankees. Catcher Brian McCann and Mark Teixeira are also scheduled to play in the game. McCann’s former team will start right-hander Julio Teheran. Brothers Justin and B.J. Upton, Jason Heyward and Andrelton Simmons are scheduled to make the trip for the Braves. Game-time will be 1:05 p.m. EDT and the game will be broadcast

process. The assistance came from a varied range of groups, including enslaved and free blacks, American Indians, and people from a variety of religious and cultural backgrounds. Because of their links to the whaling business, the Pacific West Coast and potentially Alaska became popular tourist destinations. During the American Civil War, many freedom seekers sought refuge and liberty by fleeing to the Union army’s lines of communication. The Underground Railroad, a vast network of people who helped fugitive slaves escape to the North and to Canada, was not run by any single organization or person. Rather, it consisted of many individuals – many whites but predominently black – who knew only of the local efforts to aid fugitives and not of the overall operation. Still, it effectively moved hundreds of slaves northward each year – according to one estimate,the South lost 100,000 slaves between 1810 and 1850. An organized system to assist runaway slaves seems to have begun towards the end of the 18th century. In 1786 George Washington complained about how one of his runaway slaves was helped by a “society of Quakers, formed for such purposes.” The system grew, and around 1831 it was dubbed “The Underground Railroad,” after the then emerging steam railroads. The system even used terms used in railroading: the homes and businesses where fugitives would rest and eat were called “stations” and “depots” and were run by “stationmasters,” those who contributed money or goods were “stockholders,” and the “conductor” was responsible for moving fugitives from one station to the next.For the slave, running away to the North was anything but easy. The first step was to escape from the slaveholder. For many slaves, this meant relying on his or her own resources. Sometimes a “conductor,” posing as a slave, would enter a plantation and then guide the runaways northward. The fugitives would move at night. They would generally travel between 10 and 20 miles to the next station, where they would rest and eat, hiding in barns and other out-of-the-way places. While they waited, a message would be sent to the next station to alert its stationmaster.The fugitives would also travel by train and boat – conveyances that sometimes had to be paid for. Money was also needed to improve the appearance of the runaways – a black man, woman, or child in tattered clothes would invariably attract suspicious eyes. This money was donated by individuals and also raised by various groups, including vigilance committees.Vigilance committees sprang up in the larger towns and cities of the North, most prominently in New York, Philadelphia, and Boston. In addition to soliciting money, the organizations provided food, lodging and money, and helped the fugitives settle into a community by helping them find jobs and providing letters of recommendation.The Underground Railroad had many notable participants, including John Fairfield in Ohio, the son of a slaveholding family, who made many daring rescues, Levi Coffin, a Quaker who assisted more than 3,000 slaves, and Harriet Tubman, who made 19 trips into the South and escorted over 300 slaves to freedom. The Underground Railroad [ushistory.org] The National Park Service (NPS) Through the Underground Railroad, Lewis Hayden was able to elude enslavement and later found work as a “conductor” from his home in Massachusetts. Speakers and organizers are required for any cause. Any mass movement requires the presence of visionary men and women. However, simply spreading knowledge and mobilizing people is not enough. It takes people who take action to bring about revolutionary change – individuals who chip away at the things that stand in the way, little by little, until they are victorious. Instead of sitting around and waiting for laws to change or slavery to come crashing down around them, railroad advocates assisted individual fleeing slaves in finding the light of freedom. Slaves were relocated from one “station” to another by abolitionists during the Civil War. In order to escape being apprehended, whites would frequently pose as the fugitives’ masters. In one particularly dramatic instance, Henry “Box” Brown arranged for a buddy to lock him up in a wooden box with only a few cookies and a bottle of water for company. This map of the eastern United States depicts some of the paths that slaves took on their

The system even used terms used in railroading: the homes and businesses where fugitives would rest and eat were called “stations” and “depots” and were run by “stationmasters,” those who contributed money or goods were “stockholders,” and the “conductor” was responsible for moving fugitives from one station to the next.For the slave, running away to the North was anything but easy. The first step was to escape from the slaveholder. For many slaves, this meant relying on his or her own resources. Sometimes a “conductor,” posing as a slave, would enter a plantation and then guide the runaways northward. The fugitives would move at night. They would generally travel between 10 and 20 miles to the next station, where they would rest and eat, hiding in barns and other out-of-the-way places. While they waited, a message would be sent to the next station to alert its stationmaster.The fugitives would also travel by train and boat – conveyances that sometimes had to be paid for. Money was also needed to improve the appearance of the runaways – a black man, woman, or child in tattered clothes would invariably attract suspicious eyes. This money was donated by individuals and also raised by various groups, including vigilance committees.Vigilance committees sprang up in the larger towns and cities of the North, most prominently in New York, Philadelphia, and Boston. In addition to soliciting money, the organizations provided food, lodging and money, and helped the fugitives settle into a community by helping them find jobs and providing letters of recommendation.The Underground Railroad had many notable participants, including John Fairfield in Ohio, the son of a slaveholding family, who made many daring rescues, Levi Coffin, a Quaker who assisted more than 3,000 slaves, and Harriet Tubman, who made 19 trips into the South and escorted over 300 slaves to freedom. The Underground Railroad [ushistory.org] The National Park Service (NPS) Through the Underground Railroad, Lewis Hayden was able to elude enslavement and later found work as a “conductor” from his home in Massachusetts. Speakers and organizers are required for any cause. Any mass movement requires the presence of visionary men and women. However, simply spreading knowledge and mobilizing people is not enough. It takes people who take action to bring about revolutionary change – individuals who chip away at the things that stand in the way, little by little, until they are victorious. Instead of sitting around and waiting for laws to change or slavery to come crashing down around them, railroad advocates assisted individual fleeing slaves in finding the light of freedom. Slaves were relocated from one “station” to another by abolitionists during the Civil War. In order to escape being apprehended, whites would frequently pose as the fugitives’ masters. In one particularly dramatic instance, Henry “Box” Brown arranged for a buddy to lock him up in a wooden box with only a few cookies and a bottle of water for company. This map of the eastern United States depicts some of the paths that slaves took on their

way to freedom. The majority of the time, slaves traveled northward on their own, searching for the signal that indicated the location of the next safe haven. The railroad employed almost 3,200 individuals between the years 1830 and the conclusion of the Civil War, according to historical records. Harriet Tubman was perhaps the most notable “conductor” of the Underground Railroad during her lifetime. Tubman traveled into slave territory on a total of 19 distinct occasions throughout the 1850s. Any slave who had second thoughts, she threatened to kill with the gun she kept on her hip at the risk of his life. When the Civil War broke out, she put her railroad experience to use as a spy for the Union, which she did successfully for the Union. This was even worse than their distaste of Abolitionist speech and literature, which was already bad enough. According to them, this was a straightforward instance of stolen goods. Once again, a brick was laid in the building of Southern secession when Northern cities rallied with liberated slaves and refused to compensate them for their losses. The Secret History of the Underground Railroad Diseases and Peculiarities of the Negro Race was the title of a series published by De Bow’s Review, a leading Southern periodical, a decade before the Civil War. The series was deemed necessary by the editors because it had “direct and practical bearing” on 3 million people whose worth as property totaled approximately $2 billion. When it comes to African Americans’ supposed laziness (“deficiency of red blood in the pulmonary and arterial systems”), love of dancing (“profuse distribution of nervous matter to the stomach, liver, and genital organs”), and extreme aversion to being whipped (“skin. However, it was Cartwright’s discovery of a previously undiscovered medical illness, which he coined “Drapetomania, or the sickness that causes Negroes to flee,” that grabbed the most attention from readers. Despite the fact that only a few thousand individuals, at most, fled slavery each year—nearly all of them from states bordering the free North—their migration was seen by many Southern whites as a portent of a greater calamity. How long do you think it will take until the entire cloth begins to unravel? Rather, it was intentionally supported and helped by a well-organized network that was both large and diabolical in scope. The word “Underground Railroad” brings up pictures of trapdoors, flickering lamps, and moonlit routes through the woods in the minds of most people today, just as it did in the minds of most Americans in the 1840s and 1850s. At least until recently, scholars paid relatively little attention to the story, which is remarkable considering how prominent it is in the national consciousness. The Underground Railroad was widely believed to be a statewide conspiracy with “conductors,” “agents,” and “depots,” but was it really a fiction of popular imagination conjured up from a succession of isolated, unconnected escapes? Which historians you trust in will determine the solutions. See also: Why Coined Underground Railroad? (Correct answer) One historian (white) questioned surviving abolitionists (most of whom were also white) a decade after the Civil War and documented a “great and complicated network” of agents, 3,211 of whom he identified by name, as well as a “great and intricate network” of agents (nearly all of them white). “I escaped without the assistance. “I have freed myself in the manner of a man.” In many cases, the Underground Railroad was not concealed at all. The journal of a white New Yorker who assisted hundreds of runaway slaves in the 1850s was found by an undergraduate student in Foner’s department at Columbia University while working on her final thesis some years ago, and this discovery served as the inspiration for his current book. One of the book’s most surprising revelations is that, according to the book’s subtitle, the Underground Railroad was not always secret at all. The New York State Vigilance Committee, established in 1850, the year of the infamous Fugitive Slave Act, officially declared its objective to “welcome, with open arms, the panting fugitive

4, 2016 By Badger Onomasy Ashes And Dust Samuel Fernandez – Drums Mario Gomez – Bass Pablo Acien – Guitar Armando Rubio – Guitar Alvaro Valdeavero – Vocals 1) Bow Down This track is really more of an introduction track, not bad either, just a little over a minute long. It has this melodic technical metal feel to it. But the real show begins with track two “The Maze Of Unhappiness” 2) The Maze of Unhappiness The whole band comes together for the first note of the song with a low guttural growl getting first blood. The first ten seconds of this song go fast, but it’s a great way to get acclimated to the sheer brutality that Onomasy possesses. The vocal range happening throughout this song is killer. Alvaro can hit some disgusting lows, and then his high vocals are razor sharp. When you get to the 1:15 mark you can hear the highs in perfect form. The guitarists are tight, they are precise, and it sounds like both can play a solid lead with one of them delivering a short solo around the 1:00 mark it’s a really brief riff really. But it has a old school feel to it. It’s placed well because they are hammering away with this tech death sound then an old school riff back into the rapid fire blasting tech death explosion. 3) Gray Days To Live Way too early to call this song my favorite, but I have been spinning this track a lot lately. It starts out with a short bass intro, and then the drums come in blistering fast and heavy, while the vocals come in high and fast almost right away. Just listening to the guitars my forearms are getting cramps. The amount of discipline that this whole band has is impressive. This is a song that really grabs you, the rhythm is so catchy it pulls you in and you can’t help but move. The lead guitars around the 1:08 mark are great, and this is only ten second portion of guitar greatness coming off this album. Right at the 1:40 mark they get low and slow with their brutal and infectious transition. Its heavy as hell and when the next verse is seeing the finishing touches the guitars are tearing shit up all leading up to my favorite part of the whole song. It starts at the 2:27 mark. When the vocals come in, its catchy, its heavy, and you know that if you are seeing this unfold at a live show, the crowd is going to get rowdy. The gang vocals in the background and then Alvaro’s vocals layered over fucking work. After that section the guitars give us a melodic guitar solo with some Latin soul feel to it. Not a shredfest, its soothing in a way, it has local flavor and then they come right back out to end the song as hard and heavy as it began. 4) Ashes and Dust A short guitar riff starts things off with the drums following right in after mere seconds. The vocals join in at the :21 second mark just after the rest of the band has done a number on your senses with the breakneck speed on the drums to the blistering pace the guitars have set up. In the first sixty seconds of this song you will develop a thought process as to why you haven’t heard this band before now. I am really digging the rhythm right around the :30 second mark it has a menacing feel about it. Right around the 1:00 mark, they hit you with a slowed punchy section that bridges to the next verse knocking out some teeth on the way. This song takes you on a journey through the low bludgeoning death metal style, and speed things up with their rapid fire tech death sound. 5) Digging Up The Moon This song starts right out of the gate with rapid blast beats and then a quick precise guitar riff. The vocals come in at the :05 second mark with the high range vocals. The intensity from the guitars and matching the vocals with the drums. They have unleashed a full on audio assault, from the rapid highs to the punishing low guttural growls. This song relentlessly pummels you into submission. A perfect example is at the 2:35 mark, the vocals are infectious, and the guitars showcase their ability

they’re bad people. There’s something wrong with them. Not just with their opinions, but with them! I think that if you are able to communicate in a more comfortable face-to-face environment, not talking about text, I’m not talking about Facebook, but I’m talking about a face-to-face more comfortable environment, that can also go a ways to getting rid of some of that demonization. So, you might not change your mind, and that’s, I don’t that that’s necessarily the goal for either side to just completely give up their world view and change their mind and now they have another world view. But rather to understand the other person, to emphasize with the other person’s concerns and perspective, and it also broadens, it broadens the information that you have, it might broaden your world views, so although you don’t change it, you now have maybe two or three other things that you can add into your understanding of how the world works, or how other people operate. And that does require a more personal empathetic connection, response to someone who has an opinion that’s different from you. So, one way that you could get in touch with someone has very different views from you in that face-to-face setting that I was talking about, is to use this app, relatively new app called “Hi from the other side”. When you sign into the app, and you describe which side, you know we’re talking about political spectrum here because things have gotten again so polarized, you talk about which side you’re on, you say a little bit about yourself and where you’re from. Within a few days typically, they’ll connect you with someone from the opposite end of the political spectrum that you can connect with and the idea is that you then set up a coffee. So that you can take some time to really hear what the other side, so to speak, is saying. And again, it’s not so much to change their mind, or to have your mind changed, but to stop demonizing the other side, and to also understand where there are connections, where they might be things where that you agree with one another on. To try to make the political discourse less polarizing, more about what do we have in common as opposed to what, what is there to fight about. Yeah. Well thank you, I definitely will have to check that out. Are there any final thoughts that you’d like on, especially on fake news of libraries, that we can close with? Well, as a librarian I think it’s important to remember when your students are coming in and they’re asking you questions about different topics, you’ve got to consider what kind of state are they in before thinking about how you’re going to interact with them. If the student is really stressed out, and there’s a lot of activity going on in the library, it’s going to be much more difficult to have say a reasoned conversation about a topic that might be an emotional topic, or a topic tied to identity. So, to just be aware of that. Those emotions again are really going to drive the ability to process, or not. When you’re having a conversation with someone who holds a very different view from you, it’s important to be very careful about how you word things. So, you don’t want to use the word ‘never’, you don’t want to use the word ‘always’, you don’t really want to talk about what their side is doing wrong necessarily, but rather acknowledge what the, what the student has said. So, repeat it back in a, in a slightly different form so that they know that they’ve been heard. And then, when you talk about the other side, to then focus more on the positives of that other side as opposed to attacking their side, and, you know, bringing this all back to fake news, remember that if students come in with fake news, it would be important to not just say you are wrong, this story is fake news. But to show them some of the resources online that they can use to check that news story for themselves. So that they have the tools moving forward, and you could discuss with them what types of groups are putting these news stories out, and what they’re getting from it. You know, you could even touch a little bit on confirmation bias and say you know hey we all do this, we all are looking for information that confirms our already held beliefs, those guys, you know, the fake news guys are trying to take advantage of that, here’s how you can arm yourself, equip yourself properly to not be taken advantage of so easily. Great. Well with that, if listeners wanted to be in touch with you, what’s

Core and More Technologies provides a high level overview of current search advertising trends – discussing personalized, multi-channel audience targeting – AND MORE! When integrated, Pardot can become one of the most useful tools in a marketer’s repertoire, and can have a tremendously positive impact on the company’s bottom line. Integration is one of the most important, and most underrated, elements of business IT in general, and customer relationship management in particular. Even the most effective IT solutions can offer only a limited degree of value if they remain siloed and fail to link up with other applications and resources. Conversely, highly integrated IT tools will yield insights and utility that can radically improve operations throughout a given organization. In all likelihood, you’re familiar with the concept of the marketing funnel. The metaphor can be a useful way of describing a very common strategy, one that ideally moves potential leads step by step, closer and closer to the final endpoint, the sale. But there’s one big way that this image can provide a flawed impression: the likelihood of any given lead reaching the bottom of the funnel. When you pour water down a funnel, you’re not going to miss a drop – everything’s going to wind up where you aim it. What’s more, the liquid in a funnel will go down smoothly and without effort, as Business.com contributor Brian Hughes pointed out. With sales, though, nothing’s guaranteed, and even the best marketing funnel cannot convert every lead into a sale. That’s why it’s so important for businesses to embrace any strategy that can improve this percentage and make sure as many leads become sales as possible. That’s where the one-two punch of marketing automation and lead nurturing enter the picture. By combining these two strategies, businesses can make it easier to drive more leads through the marketing funnel and achieve greater success as a result. Of course, this is only possible when both marketing automation and lead nurturing are handled in the right manner. The team at Core and More Technologies discusses how remarketing (aka ‘retargeting’) has proven to be one of the most cost-effective techniques for generating conversions and high quality leads. Check it out! With remarketing, companies can deploy a more targeted approach to ad displays, ensuring that the most high-value users see the right ads at the right times. Display ads have become a hallmark of online marketing over the past few years. With display advertising, marketers have the ability to reach millions upon millions of users across a huge range of websites. Digital ad spending approached $60 billion in the U.S. alone last year, eMarketer research determined, and it is poised for much greater growth in the near future. Given the scope of this field, brands and companies face intense competition when it comes to ensuring their ads are not only seen, but are seen by the right people. To this end, businesses need to leverage every resource available to them. Rather
