Social media is quite powerful, good and bad at times, but this was a situation where the power of social media was enough to finally see Ray Rice get what he deserved; Released from the NFL and likely never playing an NFL game again. The NFL also announced this afternoon Rice has been suspended indefinitely. He’s never going to play another day in the NFL. Whether the Ravens and NFL actually saw this video remains up for debate but until today their continued support of Rice was sickening and disgusting, especially the Ravens and Roger Goodell buying Rice’s story that he was defending himself. Even if the Ravens didn’t see the video, what did the Ravens organization think? Rice’s fiancee slipped and fell? It’s sickening toRead More » Harrison, Ward won’t be at full strength for Sunday’s showdown Saturday, December 26, 2009 / by William DePaoli / / Chris Kemoeatu, Demetrius Williams, Inside Access, james harrison, Jarret Johnson, Keenan Lewis, Kelley Washington, Mike Wallace, NFL, Pittsburgh Steelers, rashard mendenhall, ray lewis, Ray Rice, troy polamalu, willie parker The 7-7 Pittsburgh Steelers head into Sunday’s game as a much more confident team than we’ve seen the past couple weeks after last Sunday’s thrilling 37-36 victory over the Green Bay Packers. The Steelers have a “pulse” according to head coach Mike Tomlin and this week the team appeared to have a little bit of their swagger back. It was a much looser team in the locker room. In a must win situation against Baltimore, Pittsburgh will not be close to being at full strength and the same can be said for the 8-6 Baltimore Ravens Strong safety Troy Polamalu will miss his 10th game of the season and starting guard Chris Kemoeatu had a minor setback and will miss his second consecutive game. For the Steelers, their concern is with James Harrison and Hines Ward.

See Note 2. Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements Note 1. General The Cooper Companies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") develop, manufacture and market healthcare products, including a range of hard and soft daily, flexible and extended wear contact lenses, ophthalmic pharmaceutical products and diagnostic and surgical instruments. The Company also provides healthcare services through the ownership and operation of certain psychiatric facilities and management of other such facilities. During interim periods, the Company follows the accounting policies set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Readers are encouraged to refer to the Company's 1993 Form 10-K when reviewing interim financial results. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of April 30, 1994 and October 31, 1993 and the consolidated results of its operations for the three and six month periods ended April 30, 1994 and 1993, and its consolidated cash flows for the six months ended April 30, 1994 and 1993. With the exception of certain adjustments discussed in Part I, Item 2 under "Settlement of Disputes," such adjustments consist of only normal and recurring adjustments. Certain reclassifications have been applied to prior period financial statements to conform such statements to the current periods' presentation. None of such reclassifications had any impact on net loss. Note 2. Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation On January 6, 1994, the Company consummated an Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation in which it issued approximately $22,000,000 of 10% Senior Subordinated Secured Notes due 2003 (the "Notes") and paid approximately $4,350,000 in cash ($725 principal amount of Notes and $145 in cash for each $1,000 principal amount of 10 5/8% Convertible Subordinated Reset Debentures due 2005 (the "Debentures")) in exchange for approximately $30,000,000 aggregate principal amount of Debentures (out of $39,384,000 aggregate principal amount then outstanding). The Company also obtained, pursuant to the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, consents of the holders of Debentures to (i) certain proposed amendments governing the indenture to the Debentures (the "Indenture") and (ii) a waiver of any defaults under the Indenture. Following the exchange, approximately $9,400,000 aggregate principal amount of Debentures remains outstanding. On January 6, 1994, after receiving consents from holders of a majority of the outstanding principal amount of Debentures not owned by the Company or its affiliates, the Company and the Trustee under the Indenture executed the Second Supplemental Indenture effecting the proposed amendments, which eliminated or modified various covenants in the Indenture. The consummation of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation also satisfied a condition of an agreement reached in September 1993 between the Company and Medical Engineering Corporation ("MEC") limiting the Company's liability with respect to breast implant litigation. Such condition would have allowed MEC to terminate the agreement if the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation (or an alternative restructuring of the Debentures) was not completed by February 1, 1994. The Notes bear interest from September 1, 1993 at a rate equal to 10% per annum. (Interest accrued from September 1, 1993 was not paid on Debentures tendered and accepted pursuant to the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation.) Interest on the Notes is payable quarterly on each March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1, commencing March 1, 1994. The Notes are redeemable solely at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at any time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of their principal amount, together with accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date. The Company is not required to effect any mandatory redemptions or make any sinking fund payments with respect to the Notes, except in connection with certain sales or other dispositions of, or certain financings secured by, the collateral securing the Notes. Pursuant to a pledge agreement dated as of January 6, 1994, between the Company and the trustee for the holders of the Notes, the Company has pledged a first priority security interest in all of its right, title and interest in stock of its subsidiaries Hospital Group of America, Inc. ("HGA") and CooperSurgical, Inc. ("CooperSurgical"), all additional shares of stock of, or other equity interests in HGA and CooperSurgical from time to time acquired by the Company, all intercompany indebtedness of HGA and CooperSurgical from time to time held by the Company, and except as set forth in the indenture governing the Notes, the proceeds received from the sale or disposition of any or all of the foregoing. A full description of the pledge agreement and terms of the indenture governing the Notes is included in the Company's Amended and Restated Offer to Exchange and Consent Solicitation filed with the SEC on December 15, 1993. The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation has been accounted for in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 15 "Accounting by Debtors and Creditors for Troubled Debt Restructurings." Consequently, the difference between the carrying value of the Debentures exchanged less the face value of the Notes issued and the aggregate cash payment for the Debentures was recorded as a deferred premium aggregating approximately $4,000,000 as of the date of the Exchange. The Company is recognizing the benefit of the deferred premium as a reduction to the effective interest rate on the Notes over the life of the issue. In addition, the Company recorded a charge of $2,131,000 in the fourth quarter of 1993 and an additional charge of $429,000 in the first quarter of 1994 for costs related to the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation. Note 3. Legal Proceedings On November 10, 1992, the Company was charged in an indictment (the "Indictment"), filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, with violating federal criminal laws relating to a "trading scheme" by Gary A. Singer, a former Co-Chairman of the Company (who went on a leave of absence on May 28, 1992, begun at the Company's request, and who subsequently resigned on January 20, 1994), and others, including G. Albert Griggs, Jr., a former analyst of The Keystone Group, Inc., and John D. Collins II, to "frontrun" high yield bond purchases by the Keystone Custodian Funds, Inc., a group of mutual funds. The Company was named as a defendant in 10 counts. Gary Singer was named as a defendant in 24 counts, including violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and the mail and wire fraud statutes (including defrauding the Company by virtue of the "trading scheme," by, among other things, transferring profits on trades on DR Holdings, Inc. 15.5% bonds (the "DR Holdings Bonds") from the Company to members of his family during fiscal 1991), money laundering, conspiracy, and aiding and abetting violations of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the "Investment Advisers Act"), by an investment advisor. On January 13, 1994, the Company was found guilty on six counts of mail fraud and one count of wire fraud based upon Mr. Singer's conduct, but acquitted of charges of conspiracy and aiding and abetting violations of the Investment Advisers Act. Mr. Singer was found guilty on 21 counts. One count against Mr. Singer and the Company was dismissed at trial and two counts against Mr. Singer relating to forfeiture penalties were resolved by stipulation between the government and Mr. Singer. Sentencing is currently scheduled for June 24, 1994. The maximum penalty which could be imposed on the Company is the greater of (i) $500,000 per count, (ii) twice the gross gain derived from the offense or (iii) twice the gross loss suffered by the victim of the offense, and a $200 special assessment. In addition to the penalties described in (i), (ii) or (iii), the Court could order the Company to make restitution. Mr. Singer's attorney has advised the Company that Mr. Singer intends to appeal his conviction. Although the Company may be obligated under its Certificate of Incorporation to advance the costs of such appeal, the Company and Mr. Singer have agreed that Mr. Singer will not request such advances, but that he will reserve his rights to indemnification in the event of a successful appeal. Also on November 10, 1992, the SEC filed a civil Complaint for Permanent Injunction and Other Equitable Relief (the "SEC Complaint") in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York against the Company, Gary A. Singer, Steven G. Singer (an Executive Vice President of the Company, presently on leave of absence, and Gary Singer's brother), and, as relief defendants, certain persons related to Gary and Steven Singer and certain entities in which they and/or those related persons have an interest. The SEC Complaint alleges that the Company and Gary and Steven Singer violated various provisions of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Securities Exchange Act"), including certain of its antifraud and periodic reporting provisions, and aided and abetted violations of the Investment Company Act and the Investment Advisors Act, in connection with the trading scheme described in the preceding paragraphs. The SEC Complaint further alleges, among other things, federal securities law violations (i) by the Company and Gary Singer in connection with an alleged manipulation of the trading price of the Company's 10 5/8% Convertible Subordinated Reset Debentures due 2005 (the "Debentures") to avoid an interest rate reset allegedly required on June 15, 1991 under the terms of the Indenture governing the Debentures, (ii) by Gary Singer in allegedly transferring profits on trades of high yield bonds (including those trades in the DR Holdings Bonds which were the subject of certain counts of the Indictment of which Mr. Singer was found guilty) from the Company to members of his family and failing to disclose such transactions to the Company, and (iii) by the Company in failing to disclose publicly on a timely basis such transactions by Gary Singer. The SEC Complaint asks that the Company and Gary and Steven Singer be enjoined permanently from violating the antifraud, periodic reporting and other provisions of the federal securities laws, that they disgorge the amounts of the alleged profits received by them pursuant to the alleged frauds (stated in the SEC's Litigation Release No. 13432 announcing the filing of the SEC Complaint as being $1,296,406, $2,323,180 and $174,705, respectively), plus interest, and that they each pay appropriate civil monetary damages. The SEC Complaint also seeks orders permanently prohibiting Gary and Steven Singer from serving as officers or directors of any public company and disgorgement from certain Singer family members and entities of amounts representing the alleged profits received by such defendants pursuant to the alleged frauds. In February 1993, the court granted a motion staying all proceedings in connection with this matter pending completion of the criminal case. On January 24, 1994, the Court lifted the stay and directed the defendants to file answers to the SEC Complaint. The Company is currently involved in settlement negotiations with the SEC, and the time to file answers to the SEC Complaint has been postponed. At this time, there can be no assurances that these negotiations will be successfully concluded. The imposition of monetary penalties upon the Company as a result of the criminal convictions or in connection with the matters alleged in the SEC Complaint, as well as the incurrence of any additional defense costs, could exacerbate, possibly materially, the Company's liquidity problems and its need to raise funds. See Item 2 "Capital Resources and Liquidity." The Company is named as a nominal defendant in a shareholder derivative action entitled Harry Lewis and Gary Goldberg V. Gary A. Singer, Steven G. Singer, Arthur C. Bass, Joseph C. Feghali, Warren J. Keegan, Robert S. Holcombe and Robert S. Weiss, which was filed on May 27, 1992 in the Court of Chancery, State of Delaware, New Castle County. On May 29, 1992, another plaintiff, Alfred Schecter, separately filed a derivative complaint in Delaware Chancery Court that was essentially identical to the Lewis and Goldberg complaint. Lewis and Goldberg later amended their complaint, and the Delaware Chancery Court thereafter consolidated the Lewis and Goldberg and Schecter actions as In re The Cooper Companies, Inc. Litigation, Consolidated C.A. 12584, and designated Lewis and Goldberg's amended complaint as the operative complaint (the "First Amended Derivative Complaint"). The First Amended Derivative Complaint alleges that certain directors of the Company and Gary A. Singer, as Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors, caused or allowed the Company to be a party to the "trading scheme" that was the subject of the Indictment. The First Amended Derivative Complaint also alleges that the defendants violated their fiduciary duties to the Company by not vigorously investigating the allegations of securities fraud. The First Amended Derivative Complaint requests that the Court order the defendants (other than the Company) to pay damages and expenses to the Company and certain of the defendants to disgorge their profits to the Company. On October 16, 1992, the defendants moved to dismiss the First Amended Derivative Complaint on grounds that such Complaint fails to comply with Delaware Chancery Court Rule 23.1 and that Count III of the First Amended Derivative Complaint fails to state a claim. The Company has been advised by the individual directors named as defendants that they believe they have meritorious defenses to this lawsuit and intend vigorously to defend against the allegations in the First Amended Derivative The Company was named as a nominal defendant in a purported shareholder derivative action entitled Bruce D. Sturman v. Gary A. Singer, Steven G. Singer, Brad C. Singer, Martin Singer, John D. Collins II, Back Bay Capital, Inc., G. Albert Griggs, Jr., John and Jane Does 1-10 and The Cooper Companies, Inc., which was filed on May 26, 1992 in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York. The plaintiff, Bruce D. Sturman, a former officer and director of the Company, alleged that Gary A. Singer, as Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors, and various members of the Singer family caused the Company to make improper payments to alleged third-party co-conspirators, Messrs. Griggs and Collins, as part of the "trading scheme" that was the subject of the Indictment. The complaint requested that the Court order the defendants (other than the Company) to pay damages and expenses to the Company, including reimbursement of payments made by the Company to Messrs. Collins and Griggs, and to disgorge their profits to the Company. Pursuant to its decision and order, filed August 17, 1993, the Court dismissed this action under New York Civil Practice Rule 327(a). On September 22, 1993, the plaintiff filed a Notice of Appeal. On September 2, 1993, a patent infringement complaint was filed against the Company in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada captioned Steven P. Shearing v. The Cooper Companies, Inc. On or about that same day, the plaintiff filed twelve additional complaints, accusing at least fourteen other defendants of infringing the same patent. The patent in these suits covers a specific method of implanting an intraocular lens into the eye. Until February 1989, the Company manufactured intraocular lenses and ophthalmic instruments, but did not engage in the implantation of such lenses. Subsequent to February 1989, the Company was not involved in the manufacture, marketing or sale of intraocular lenses. On April 4, 1994 all of Shearing's Complaints were dismissed; Schearing has moved for leave to file an amended complaint and the Company, and the other defendants have opposed the motion. The Company denies the material allegations of Shearing's complaint and should the case proceed to trial, it will vigorously defend itself. In two virtually identical actions, Frank H. Cobb, Inc. v. The Cooper Companies, Inc., et al and Arthur J. Korf v. The Cooper Companies, Inc., et al, class action complaints were filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in August 1989, against the Company and certain individuals who served as officers and/or directors of the Company after June 1987. In their Fourth Amended Complaint filed in September 1992, the plaintiffs allege that they are bringing the actions on their own behalf and as class actions on behalf of a class consisting of all persons who purchased or otherwise acquired shares of the Company's common stock during the period May 26, 1988 through February 13, 1989. The amended complaints seek an undetermined amount of compensatory damages jointly and severally against all defendants. The complaints, as amended, allege that the defendants knew or recklessly disregarded and failed to disclose to the investing public material adverse information about the Company. Defendants are accused of having allegedly failed to disclose, or delayed in disclosing, among other things: (a) that the allegedly real reason the Company announced on May 26, 1988 that it was dropping a proposed merger with Cooper Development Company, Inc. was because the Company's banks were opposed to the merger; (b) that the proposed sale of Cooper Technicon, Inc., a former subsidiary of the Company, was not pursuant to a definitive sales agreement but merely an option; (c) that such option required the approval of the Company's debentureholders and preferred stockholders; (d) that the approval of such sale by the Company's debentureholders and preferred stockholders would not have been forthcoming absent extraordinary expenditures by the Company; and (e) that the purchase agreement between the Company and Miles, Inc. for the sale of Cooper Technicon, Inc. included substantial penalties to be paid by the Company if the sale was not consummated within certain time limits and that the sale could not be consummated within those time limits. The amended complaints further allege that the defendants are liable for having violated Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10(b)-5 thereunder and having engaged in common law fraud. Based on management's current knowledge of the facts and circumstances surrounding the events alleged by plaintiffs as giving rise to their claims, the Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to these lawsuits. The Company has reached a tentative settlement with counsel for the class plaintiffs. However, no definitive settlement agreement has been signed with plaintiffs' class counsel and, if signed, the settlement agreement will be subject to Court approval after notice to class members and a hearing; therefore, there can be no assurance that the proposed settlement will ultimately end the litigation. In the event the case proceeds to trial, the Company intends to vigorously defend the allegations in the amended complaints. See Part II, Item 1 herein for a discussion of certain other litigations. Note 4. Inventories Inventories are stated at the lower of cost, determined on a first-in, first-out or average cost basis, or market. The components of inventories are as follows: April 30, October 31, 1994 1993 -------- ---------- <S> <C> <C> Raw materials $ 3,323 $ 3,958 Work-in-process 1,009 865 Finished goods 8,916 10,164 ------- ------- $13,248 $14,987 Note 5. The Company's Turn-Around Incentive Plan The Company's Turn-Around Incentive Plan ("TIP") was adopted by the Compensation Committee of the Board and the 1988 Long Term Incentive Plan Administrative Committee of the Board on May 18, 1993. The plan was adopted, upon the recommendation of the Company's independent compensation consultants, to recognize the special efforts of certain individuals in guiding the Company through a resolution of its difficulties arising from its then current capital structure and its former ownership of companies that manufactured and distributed breast implants. The plan provided for an award to be made to designated TIP participants of a sum that would be separately allocated to each participant. Before any awards would become payable, however, the Company had to significantly reduce its liabilities relating to the former breast implant business to levels approved by the Board of Directors and the price of the Company's common stock had to increase. A portion of the award is to be paid when the average per share price of the Company's common stock over a period of thirty days equals or exceeds $1.50 per share. On September 28, 1993 the Company entered into an agreement under which the purchaser of its breast implant business assumed responsibilities for the legal fees, costs, judgements and settlements relating to breast implants sold by the Company's formerly owned subsidiaries prior to the disposition of those subsidiaries. On January 6, 1994, upon completion of the exchange offer and consent solicitation relating to its 10-5/8% Debentures, the Company satisfied the last condition required to be met before the agreement relating to the assumption by a third party of all of the Company's breast implant liabilities became final. Since that time, the price of the Company's common stock has increased steadily and, on May 25, 1994, the average of the Company's common stock during the preceding thirty (30) days rose above $1.50 per share. With the satisfaction of target one, participants in the TIP were awarded one-third of the total award for which they are eligible under the TIP. The payments were made 50% in cash ($346,667) and 50% by means of the issuance of 231,111 shares of restricted stock under the Company's 1998 Long Term Incentive Plan. That stock generally will remain restricted and non-transferable for a period of two years. The remaining two-thirds of the allocated TIP awards will not be distributed until such time as the 30-day average of the price per share of the Company's common stock equals or exceeds $3.00 per share. The maximum value of the awards that could be made, assuming both targets are satisfied, is $2,250,000, which was accrued in 1993. Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations References to Note numbers below are references to the Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of the Company located in Item 1. herein. Capital Resources & Liquidity On January 6, 1994, the Company completed an Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, the terms of which are described in Note 2, pursuant to which the Company issued approximately $22,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 10% Senior Subordinated Secured Notes due 2003 (the "Notes") and paid approximately $4,350,000 in cash in exchange for approximately $30,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 10 5/8% Convertible Subordinated Reset Debentures due 2005 (the "Debentures"). In connection with the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, the Company amended the indenture governing the Debentures (the "Indenture") to, among other things, eliminate a covenant, with which the Company was not in compliance, requiring the Company to repurchase Debentures. The Company also obtained a waiver (the "Waiver") of any and all Defaults and Events of Default (as such terms are defined in the Indenture) that occurred or may have occurred prior to the expiration of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Standard Time, on January 6, 1994 (the "Expiration Date"), to ensure that the Debentures could not be accelerated based upon any actions, omissions or events, whether known or unknown, that occurred or that may have occurred on or prior to the Expiration Date and that could have been construed to be Defaults or Events of Default (as defined in the Indenture). As a result of the consummation of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation, the Company has increased its operating and financial flexibility by rendering less onerous or eliminating various restrictions and obligations previously imposed by the Indenture. The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation further benefited the Company by reducing the Company's total indebtedness and by decreasing the Company's future interest expense. However, the amendments to the terms of the Debentures also reduced the conversion price at which holders may convert Debentures into shares of the Company's common stock from $27.45 to $5.00 per share (which amount is still substantially in excess of the current price of the Company's common stock). During the first six months of 1994, the Company experienced a net loss of $9,000,000, which resulted in the Company's stockholders' equity moving into a deficit position. These losses, a large portion of which reflect legal fees and other costs related to the recent criminal trial and SEC matters (see Note 3), together with costs associated with the above-mentioned Exchange Offer, resulted in a decrease of $7,595,000 in the Company's cash, cash equivalents and temporary investments. The Company currently anticipates that, at least during the remainder of fiscal 1994, it is likely to continue experiencing net cash outflows primarily as a result of continued legal and other costs associated with pending litigation and certain penalties that may be imposed upon the Company, as discussed below, and research and development costs of CooperVision Pharmaceuticals, Inc. As a result the Company needs to raise funds through borrowings or other financings or sales of assets. As described in Note 3, the Company has been convicted of six counts of mail fraud and one count of wire fraud based upon the conduct of its former co Chairman, Gary Singer. The maximum penalty which could be imposed on the Company is the greatest of $500,000 per count, twice the gross gain derived from each count or twice the gross loss suffered by the victim of each count and, in addition, the court could impose a fine equal to restitution. The Company is also the subject of the SEC Complaint alleging violations of the federal securities laws by the Company, Gary Singer and Steven Singer (an Executive Vice President of the Company, presently on a leave of absence, and Gary Singer's brother), as described in Note 3. The imposition of monetary penalties upon the Company as a result of the criminal conviction or in connection with the matters alleged in the SEC Complaint, as well as additional defense costs could exacerbate, possibly materially, the Company's liquidity problems and its need to raise funds. The Company is currently in negotiations with representatives of the United States Attorney's office and the SEC in an attempt to obtain agreement to a settlement that would be manageable for the Company financially. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to culminate a manageable settlement or that, failing such settlement, the Company will be successful in raising funds which may be required. The Independent Auditors' report on the Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended October 31, 1993 contains the following statement: "The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. During the past three fiscal years, the Company has suffered significant losses and negative cash flows. In addition, as discussed in Note 18 to the financial statements the Company is exposed to contingent liabilities related to a criminal conviction and a Securities and Exchange Commission action. Such losses, negative cash flows, and contingent liabilities raise substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. The consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties." In light of the foregoing, there is no assurance that the Company will not face severe liquidity problems or that the Company could not be forced in the future to seek protection under the Bankruptcy Code. The Company is currently exploring numerous alternatives for raising cash, including sales and leasebacks, debt financing, factoring and out-licensing rights to Verapamil, outside of North America. (Verapamil, which is presently undergoing Phase III testing with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration is CooperVision Pharmaceuticals' compound patented for the treatment of ocular hypertension and other symptoms of glaucoma.) There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in raising adequate cash through these Results of Operations Three and Six Months Ended April 30, 1994 Compared with Three and Six Months Ended April 30, 1993. Net Service Revenue: Net service revenue consists of the following: (Dollars in 000's) Three Months Ended Six Months Ended April 30, April 30, ---------------------- ------------------------- % % Incr/ Incr/ 1994 1993 (decr) 1994 1993 (decr) ------- ------- ------ ------- ------- ------ <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> Net patient revenue $11,283 $11,745 (4%) $21,814 $23,673 (8%) Management fees 500 500 - 1,000 1,000 - ------- ------- ------- ------- Total service revenue $11,783 $12,245 (4%) $22,814 $24,673 (8%) Net patient revenue: Net patient revenue decreased by $462,000 or 4% and $1,859,000 or 8% vs. the second quarter and first half of 1993, respectively. Revenues have been pressured by the current industry trend towards increased managed care, which results in decreased daily rates and declines in average lengths of stay. Management is endeavoring to mitigate those pressures by increasing the number of admissions to its hospitals, and by providing outpatient and other ancillary services outside of its hospitals. Management fees: On May 29, 1992, PSG Management, Inc. ("PSG Management"), a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a management agreement with three indirectly owned subsidiaries of Nu-Med, Inc. ("Nu-Med"), under which PSG Management is managing three additional hospitals owned by those subsidiaries, having a total of 220 licensed beds. PSG Management is receiving a management fee of $6,000,000 payable in equal monthly installments over the three-year term of the agreement. The management agreement is jointly and severally guaranteed by Nu-Med and its wholly-owned subsidiary PsychGroup, Inc., the parent of the contracting subsidiaries. On January 6, 1993, Nu-Med (but not any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries) filed a voluntary petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Neither the Company nor any of its affiliates filed a proof of claim in the Nu-Med Chapter 11 proceeding, and the bar date (the time for filing proofs of claims) has passed. On June 1, 1994, Nu-Med issued a press release announcing its emergence from bankruptcy. It appears that following the satisfaction of administrative claims by Nu-Med, liens on the shares at PsychGroup, Inc. will be removed and those shares will be distributed to creditors so that PsychGroup, Inc. will cease to be a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nu-Med. The guarantees given by Nu-Med and PsychGroup remain in place. The Nu-Med subsidiaries continue to pay the management fee on a timely basis, although representatives of Nu-Med and its subsidiaries have alleged in writing that PSG Management has breached the management services agreement (which contention PSG Management vigorously disputes). Moreover, documents filed by Nu-Med with the United States Bankruptcy Court indicate that PsychGroup is commencing performance of certain administrative functions performed by PSG Management on a parallel basis. Net sales of products: Net sales of products increased by $1,258,000 or 11% and $3,202,000 or 15% vs. the second quarter and six months ended April 30, 1993 respectively. Incr/ Incr/ 1994 1993 (decr) 1994 1993 (decr) <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> CooperVision $ 9,412 $ 7,432 27% $17,972 $13,445 34% CooperSurgical 3,096 3,810 (19%) 6,345 7,514 (16%) Pharmaceuticals 164 172 (5%) 231 387 (40%) ------- ------- ------- ------- Total Sales of Product $12,672 $11,414 11% $24,548 $21,346 15% Net sales of CooperVision increased primarily due to the April 1, 1993 acquisition of CoastVision, Inc. ("CoastVision"), a manufacturer of custom toric contact lenses for use by patients with astigmatic vision. As anticipated, CooperVision's sales mix has continued to shift towards daily wear and frequent replacement products, as well as specialty products, and away from extended wear products. The Company considers itself to be well positioned to compete successfully in specialty niches of the contact lens market, particularly with its Preference'r' line of frequent replacement lenses and its line of custom toric lenses. Net sales of CooperSurgical ("CSI") have declined in both periods primarily due to slower sales of capital equipment, including surgical systems used in the Loop Electrosurgical Excision Procedure ("LEEP"), partially offset by increased sales in the international arena. CSI is continuing to refocus its sales efforts towards the in-office gynecology market, which is growing faster than the hospital market. Sales of CSI's LEEP disposable products, diagnostic and cryosurgical products, and its EuroMed gynecology catalog remain stable. CSI's products are subject to substantial government regulation and to competition from a large number of competitors. Net sales of CooperVision Pharmaceuticals have declined primarily as a result of the sale of the EYEscrub'tm' product line on February 12, 1993. Cost of services provided: Cost of services provided represents all of the operating costs (other than allocations from the Company's headquarters) incurred by HGA in generating its net patient revenues and management fee revenue. The results of subtracting cost of services provided from net service revenue is a profit of $1,196,000 or 10.2% and $2,388,000 or 10.5% of net service revenue in the second quarter and six months of 1994 respectively. The corresponding profit for 1993 was $1,294,000 or 10.6% and $2,735,000 or 11.1% of net service revenue in the second quarter and six months ended, respectively. The decreased percentage of profit is primarily attributable to a lower than expected number of patient days at one of the hospitals operated by HGA, exacerbated by lower daily rates. Cost of products sold: Gross profit (net sales of products less cost of products sold) as a percentage of net sales of products ("margin") was as Three Months Ended Six Months Ended April 30, April 30, ------------------- ---------------- 1994 1993 1994 1993 ---- ---- ---- ---- <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> CooperVision 70% 69% 71% 68% CooperSurgical 52% 54% 51% 54% CooperVision Pharmaceuticals 41% 33% 47% 43% Consolidated 64% 64% 65% 63% Margin generated by CooperVision has increased due to the realization of efficiencies in manufacturing as well as the impact of cost reduction measures associated with downsizing. Also, the inclusion of higher margin CoastVision products has resulted in a favorable product mix. The margin decrease at CooperSurgical reflects increased sales to international distributors, which generate lower margins than CooperSurgical's other Research and Development Expense: Research and development expense was $1,172,000 and $2,328,000 for the second quarter and six months ended April 30, 1994, respectively. The respective prior year research and development expense was $616,000 and $1,330,000. The increase is primarily attributable to increased development activity related to CooperVision Pharmaceuticals' calcium channel blocker now undergoing Phase III clinical studies, partially offset by a decline in research and development project expenses in the CooperSurgical business unit. Selling, General and Administrative Expense: Selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expense by business unit and corporate was as Three Months Ended Six Months Ended April 30, April 30, % % Incr/ Incr/ 1994 1993 (decr) 1994 1993 (decr) ------- ------- ------ ------- ------ ------ <S> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> <C> CooperVision $ 3,542 $ 3,164 12% $ 6,945 $ 5,899 18% CooperSurgical 1,468 2,606 (44%) 2,945 4,683 (37%) Pharmaceuticals 112 266 (58%) 230 513 (55%) Corporate / Other 3,306 6,132 (46%) 7,072 12,574 (44%) ------- ------- ------- ------- Consolidated $ 8,428 $12,168 (31%) $17,192 $23,669 (27%) SG&A expense has decreased 31% for the comparable three month periods largely as a result of the significant decrease in legal fees and related costs resulting from the Company's settlement of breast implant litigation and benefits related to the consolidation of CooperSurgical facilities. CooperVision Pharmaceuticals' SG&A expense has decreased as a result of the sale of the EYEscrub'tm' product line on February 12, 1993. Offsetting these decreases are increased SG&A expense of CooperVision as a result of the CoastVision acquisition on April 1, 1993. Cost of restructuring operations: Results for the first six months of 1993 included $451,000 of restructuring costs for the consolidation of two CooperSurgical facilities and related reorganization and relocation costs. Settlement of Disputes: In the first six months of 1994, the Company recorded the following items related to settlement of disputes: A credit of $850,000 following receipt of funds by the Company to settle certain claims made by the Company associated with a real estate transaction. A charge of $4,800,000 which represents the Company's estimate of costs which may be required to settle certain disputes and other litigations now pending. Debt Restructuring Costs: In the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company recorded a charge of $2,131,000 for debt restructuring costs which reflected the Company's estimate of transaction costs associated with the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation. See Note 2. These costs included amounts paid or to be paid to the Company's attorneys, accountants and financial advisor, printer's fees, fees of the financial advisor to the informal committee of holders of Debentures and its attorneys, and fees of the Information Agent and the Exchange Agent. In the first six months of 1994, the Company has incurred additional charges of $429,000. Investment Income, Net: Included in investment income, net is interest income of $51,000 and $540,000 for the three months ended April 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively and $172,000 and $1,744,000 for the six months ended April 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. The decrease primarily reflects the Company's use of cash for operating purposes, the acquisition of CoastVision on April 1, 1993, and a shift in investment strategy toward instruments with lower risk and correspondingly lower returns. Also included in investment income, net are net gains (losses) on temporary investments of ($652,000) and $1,684,000 for the six months ended April 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Gain on Sales of Assets and Businesses, Net: In the first quarter of 1994, the Company sold two parcels of land for cash and notes for a net gain of $134,000 and its EYEscrub'tm' trademark in Canada for a net gain of $80,000. In the second quarter of 1993 the Company sold its domestic EYEscrub'tm' product line which resulted in a gain of $620,000. Other Income / (Expense), Net: Other income / (expense), net was ($93,000) and ($59,000) for the three months ended April 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively, and was ($58,000) and $186,000 for the six months ended April 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively. Other income / (expense) in 1993 primarily consists of consent fees, extension fees and collection fees related to the Company's temporary investment activity. Interest Expense: The decrease in interest expense for the comparable three and six month periods is due to the reduction of debt of HGA and the effect of the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation described in Note 2. Loss on Sale of Discontinued Operations, Net of Taxes: Results for the first six months of 1993 include a charge of $14.0 million to increase the Company's accrual for contingent liabilities associated with breast implant litigation involving the plastic and reconstructive surgical division of the Company's former Cooper Surgical business segment which was sold in fiscal 1989. The Company also recorded a reversal of $343,000 of accruals no longer necessary related to another discontinued business. Provision for Income Taxes: The provisions for income taxes in each of the six month periods reflect state income and franchise taxes. Extraordinary Item: The extraordinary item in 1993 reflects an extraordinary gain of $924,000, or $.03 per common share, on the purchase by the Company of $4,846,000 principal amount of its Debentures in Earnings Per Share: The calculation of earnings per share is based on the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the respective periods, after deducting preferred dividends from earnings. PART II - OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings The Company is a defendant in a number of legal actions relating to its past or present business in which plaintiffs are seeking damages. For a description of the Indictment and the SEC Complaint as well as certain other legal proceedings, see Note 3 of Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this report. The Company was named in an action entitled BRUCE D. STURMAN V. THE COOPER COMPANIES, INC. AND DOES 1-100, Inclusive, first brought on July 24, 1992 in the Superior Court in the State of California, Los Angeles, County. Mr. Sturman alleged that his suspension from his position as Co-Chairman of the Board of Directors constituted, among other things, an anticipatory breach of his employment agreement. On May 14, 1993, Mr. Sturman filed a First Amended Complaint in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Alameda, Eastern Division, the jurisdiction to which the original case had been transferred. In the Amended Complaint, Mr. Sturman alleged that by first suspending and then terminating him from his position as Co-Chairman, the Company breached his employment agreement, violated provisions of the California Labor Code, wrongfully terminated him in violation of public policy, breached its implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, defamed him, invaded his privacy and intentionally inflicted emotional distress, and was otherwise fraudulent, deceitful and negligent. The Amended Complaint seeks declaratory relief, damages in the amount of $5,000, treble and punitive damages in an unspecified amount, and general, special and consequential damages in the amount of at least $5,000,000. In March 1993, the Court ordered a stay of all discovery in this action until further order of the Court and thereafter scheduled a conference for January 14, 1994 to review the status of the stay. The Court subsequently modified the stay to permit the taking of the deposition of one witness who will not be available to testify at trial. On September 24, 1993, Mr. Sturman filed a Second Amended Complaint, setting forth the same material allegations and seeking the same relief and damages as set forth in the First Amended Complaint. The Company has filed an Answer, generally denying all of the allegations in the Second Amended Complaint. In February 1994, the stay on discovery was lifted and trial was set for October 21, 1994. A settlement conference was held that same day, however, no agreement was reached and no further discussions were formally scheduled. While the Company and Mr. Sturman have engaged in very preliminary settlement negotiations, there can be no assurances that these negotiations will be successfully concluded. Based on management's current knowledge of the facts and circumstances surrounding Mr. Sturman's termination, the Company believes that it has meritorious defenses to this lawsuit and intends to defend vigorously against the allegations in the Second Amended Complaint. Item 1. Legal Proceedings - Continued On March 30, 1994, Envirodyne Industries, Inc. filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois against the Company, Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company, Presidential Life Insurance Company, M D Sass Re/Enterprise Partners L.P. and Gruss Partners. The complaint alleges that defendants, former holders of Envirodyne subordinated promissory notes (the "13-1/2% Notes"), filed an involuntary bankruptcy petition against Envirodyne without complying with the indenture issued in connection with the 13-1/2% Notes and that the allegedly improvident filing of the involuntary bankruptcy petition allegedly damaged Envirodyne in an amount in excess of $100 million. Defendants removed the case to the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois and, on May 20, 1994, moved to dismiss the complaint. The Company believes it has meritorious defenses to Envirodyne's complaint and, if the pending motion to dismiss is not successful, it will vigorously defend the case.

Replete with murder and racial tension, at its core this is a story exploring something everybody can relate with--bullying. And Margaret is here to tell us in her own words exactly why she wrote this. Shattered Silence by Margaret Daley: A serial killer is targeting illegal aliens in southern Texas. Texas Ranger Cody Jackson is paired with a local police officer, Liliana Rodriguez, to investigate the murders. While the case brings Cody and Liliana ever closer, the tension between Americans and Mexican Americans heightens. As Cody and Liliana race to discover who is behind the murders and bring peace to the area, what they uncover isn’t what they expected. Will Cody and Liliana’s faith and love be strong enough to survive the storm of violence? Why I Wrote Shattered Silence By Margaret Daley I taught middle and high school for twenty-seven years, and I consoled many kids over those years that were being bullied. It broke my heart. The students I taught were children with special needs. Other kids sometimes made fun of them or had them do things then laugh at them. I do not tolerate bullying then and now. That's why I wrote Shattered Silence. As an aside, I started a peer-tutoring program at the high school where I taught. Over the years I had a lot of popular kids take the class (top academic teens, cheerleaders, football players) and help out students who needed a peer tutor. One of those students went on to play pro football and another one became Miss Oklahoma. What was a wonderful benefit for my students with special needs was they developed friendships with their peer tutors. Those same peer tutors were the ones who stepped in and stopped other kids from making fun of my students. I wanted to show different situations where a person was bullied (abused) by another. One storyline is centered around a high school student. The two other subplots concern the workplace and an abusive marriage. When someone is bullied, it leaves a lasting mark on that person. I've talked with many adults who can distinctively remember the circumstances around a bullying incident they were in the middle of. It isn't always the outcasts or overweight kid or geek that are bullied. I have a friend whose daughter is beautiful and smart and was a cheerleader for her high school. Her last semester of high school was done at home through online courses because there were girls at the school that bullied her and made her life miserable. She became physically ill. For her and the thousands of people who are bullied all over the world I wrote Shattered Silence. I didn't just present the situation of being bullied but offered a few suggestions for improving the situation. Spread the word: Stop bullies. There are three groups involved in a bullying situation: the bully (or bullies), the person bullied and the spectators. The spectators are the ones in the triangle that can step in and change the situation. Speak up. Margaret Daley, an award-winning author of eighty-three books, has been married for over forty years and is a firm believer in romance and love. When she isn’t traveling, she’s writing love stories, often with a suspense thread and corralling her three cats that think they rule her household.

Bob Corker launched into a Twitter spat Sunday morning in a major public falling out, making the Tennessean the latest senior Republican... by Raquel Jayson October 9, 2017 1442 Views Washington (CNN) President Donald Trump and outgoing Sen. Bob Corker launched into a Twitter spat Sunday morning in a major public falling out, making the Tennessean the latest senior Republican lawmaker to openly criticize Trump over his statements online and off. Trump tweeted Sunday morning in a series of posts attacking Corker that he denied the senator’s request for an endorsement — a claim denied by Corker’s chief of staff, Todd Womack, later in the day. “The president called Senator Corker on Monday afternoon and asked him to reconsider his decision not to seek reelection and reaffirmed that he would have endorsed him, as he has said many times,” Womack said in a statement. Trump told Corker he was going to endorse him the day the Tennessee Republican announced his intention to retire, two sources familiar with the discussions said. Corker, whose term expires at the end of next year, made the announcement that he would retire late last month. Trump’s slams on Corker come days after the senator made public comments criticizing him. The senator responded to Trump’s tweets with an insult later in the morning, calling the White House “an adult day care center” in a Twitter post. And he wasn’t done there. In remarks to The New York Times published on Sunday night, Corker said Trump was treating the presidency like “a reality show,” making reckless threats against other countries that put the United States “on the path to World War III.” Corker also said Trump acts “like he’s doing ‘The Apprentice’ or something,” and that alarmed the senator, according to the Times. “He concerns me,” Corker told the newspaper. “He would have to concern anyone who cares about our nation.” And the risks Trump’s behavior presents also concern some of his top officials, who endeavor daily to protect the President from his own instincts, the Times reported. “I know for a fact that every single day at the White House, it’s a situation of trying to contain him,” Corker told the newspaper. The flare-up between the two leaders highlights the long-simmering differences between GOP leaders and the President, who has not shied away from attacking the leadership over their inability to move health care legislation. It also comes as Trump prepares to press Congress to advance his proposed tax overhaul and tensions reportedly grow between Trump and members of his own Cabinet — especially Secretary of State Rex Tillerson — on issues such as the way to handle North Korea’s nuclear weapons program. Corker’s vote will be critical on tax reform, and he remains an influential voice on Trump’s foreign policy challenges, including over how to handle the Iran nuclear deal. It’s not the first time Trump and the White House have privately sent one signal to Corker while publicly saying something else. Following Corker’s pointed attack on Trump for his handling of the deadly violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August, Vice President Mike Pence quietly sought to repair ties with Corker after the President knocked the Tennessee Republican on Twitter, sources said. On Sunday morning, Trump again launched an attack on Corker. “Senator Bob Corker ‘begged’ me to endorse him for re-election in Tennessee. I said ‘NO’ and he dropped out (said he could not win without…” Trump tweeted. “..my endorsement). He also wanted to be Secretary of State, I said “NO THANKS.” He is also largely responsible for the horrendous Iran Deal!” “…Hence, I would fully expect Corker to be a negative voice and stand in the way of our great agenda. Didn’t have the guts to run!” Trump added. ✔@realDonaldTrump Senator Bob Corker “begged” me to endorse him for re-election in Tennessee.

Didn’t have the guts to run! The President continued to slam Corker in a tweet in the late afternoon. “Bob Corker gave us the Iran Deal, & that’s about it. We need HealthCare, we need Tax Cuts/Reform, we need people that can get the job done!” he wrote. Bob Corker gave us the Iran Deal, & that’s about it. We need HealthCare, we need Tax Cuts/Reform, we need people that can get the job done! 4:51 PM – Oct 8, 2017 Corker responded on Twitter after Trump’s initial tweets: “It’s a shame the White House has become an adult day care center.

Later Sunday, California Democratic Rep. Ted Lieu expanded on Trump’s relationships with members of Congress, saying Corker’s response highlighted why Republicans have not been able to pass major legislation this year. “Donald Trump is a weak President with low approval ratings who does not command respect on Capitol Hill,” Lieu told anchor Ana Cabrera on “CNN Newsroom.” “As a result, Trump can’t deliver the votes when he needs it. And to make matters worse, Donald Trump is not trying to build relationships. He lashes out and insults members of Congress. And keep in mind, Trump’s deficit-exploding tax plan can only lose three Republican Senate votes before it dies.” “I wish I could replay what people tell me on the floor from my colleagues across the aisle,” Lieu continued. “I can’t do that, but they are similar to Senator Corker. I could just say this, the President is not respected by many members of Congress. You’re seeing that play out in terms of failed legislation, and you see that played out when the President goes after and singles out individual members of Congress and attacks them. That’s not how you build relationships.” Corker, who chairs the Senate foreign relations committee, defended his record on the Iran deal in an op-ed in The Washington Times last year, saying he led Senate opposition to the Obama-era pact and was joined by almost the entire Senate and House in passing legislation in 2015 to establish a process for congressional review. “Without it, there would have been no requirement that Congress receive full details of the deal; no review period for Congress to examine and weigh in on the agreement; no requirement that the president regularly certify that Iran is complying; and no way for Congress to rapidly reimpose sanctions should Iran cheat,” Corker wrote. The senator has also made some critical comments about Trump’s demeanor and temperament in recent weeks. Corker said in August that Trump had not yet demonstrated “the stability nor some of the competence” he needed to be successful. He said Wednesday that Tillerson, Defense Secretary James Mattis and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly “help separate our country from chaos.” Corker also said Tillerson has not received the support he needs from Trump. “I mean, look, I see what’s happening here,” Corker said. “I deal with people throughout the administration and (Tillerson), from my perspective, is in an incredibly frustrating place, where, as I watch, OK, and I can watch very closely on many occasions, I mean you know, he ends up being not being supported in the way I would hope a secretary of state would be supported, that’s just from my vantage point.” Tillerson, who has reportedly been displeased with Trump and his own role in the administration, made a public statement last week reaffirming his support for the President after news reports spoke of acrimony between the two men — principally, that Tillerson had questioned Trump’s intelligence, calling him a “moron,” in front of other top officials. Tillerson’s statement of support for Trump prompted the President to say his secretary of state had refuted the story about the insult. Trump later told reporters inside a Las Vegas hospital, where he was visiting the victims of last Sunday’s mass shooting, that he has “total confidence” in Tillerson and said reports that the secretary of state called him a moron were “fake news” and “totally made up.” Pastors Robbie and Tasha Wilkerson Of New Birth Christian Center Sentenced To 3 Years In Prison by Raquel Jayson - Oct 9, 2017 Watch: Gay coffee shop owner kicks Christians out of his cafe Iran official tweets list of Donald Trump’s properties in chilling hint of revenge attacks on US president A TOP Iranian adviser to President Hassan Rouhani has implied an imminent attack on Trump properties in the US.

My Grown Up Christmas List, Another Silent Night, Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

So gather your family and friends and sing along with Dave Koz and friends and have yourself a merry little holiday! Dave writes in the liner notes, "I love the holidays...and I've been blessed over the last almost two decades to be on the road touring during this special time of the year. No matter the city we're in, each venue becomes a sort of ‘living room' for us - replete with the warmth of good friends, that particular air of specialness, and of course...beloved Christmas songs. Nothing sets the tone for the holidays better than the music - it's why we love hearing these songs, year after year. They're more than just notes or lyrics - the songs become guideposts of our lives...reminders of Christmases past, of special moments spent with family and friends - they can return us to childlike innocence and jog our memories back to simpler times." "This album was made with that spirit in mind...an abundance of love and joy went into every single note. For me, making it was like hosting the best holiday party ever! I invited some wonderfully talented friends over...we ate, we drank, we reminisced, and then we retired to the living room, sat around the piano, and sang some songs - first, each duet partner and me; then before the party was over, we all came together for one last song: the Beatles gem ‘All You Need Is Love.'

Dallas falls to 5-10, but rallied from an 18 point deficit to take a 26-24 lead when Stephen McGee, playing in his first NFL game, threw 45 yards to Miles Austin for a touchdown with 1:46 to play. The extra point missed wide left. Jay Feely (photo by GMO66 via Wikipedia Commons) The Cardinals upped their record to 5-10, was in deep trouble on their final possession, but rookie John Skelton, on fourth-and-15 from their own 19-yard line, threw 26 yards to fellow rookie Max Komar. Arizona got into Feely’s field goal range. He missed a 49 yarder earlier and had missed only three field goals all year, but also kicked a 49 field goal earlier in the game, came through. The Cardinals, which had lost eight of nine games coming into the game, has 12 interception returns for touchdowns, one shy of the NFL record set by the Seattle Seahawks in 2003. They had two in the game. compiled from NFL & Arizona Cardinals news Tags: Arizona Cardinals., Cowboys., Dallas., Glendale Arizona., Jay Feely., John Skelton., Max Komar., Miles Austin., NFL, Seattle Seahawks., Stephen McGee. Posted in NFL \| No Comments » Cowboys lose to Giants; fall to 1-5 and lose QB Romo for season Written by Baron von Froehlich on 28 October 2010 The Dallas Cowboys had a lot of motivation coming into this season. The main motivation was the Super Bowl would be played in their new stadium. But so far 2010 has been anything but a disaster. The season got more of a disaster Monday night when starting QB Tony Romo broke his left collarbone in the 41-35 loss to the New York Giants. That injury could end his season. The recovery time according to medical journals, is 8 to 10 weeks. Tony Romo (file photo) The injury took place in the second quarter, as Romo was throwing to WR Miles Austin. He took a hard hit from New York linebacker Michael Boley, who was running towards him unblocked, full speed. Number 2 quarterback Jon Kitna, the former Seahawk, Bengal, and Lion will be the starter. Kitna was the only backup quarterback in the NFL in 2009 not to take a snap in a game. The 5-2 New York Giants won their fourth game in a row and sit atop the NFC East Division.

While he was giving advice to Hillary Clinton about Libya, Sidney Blumenthal was indirectly working for Libyan interests and at the same time was on the Clinton Foundation’s payroll. Slate is putting it all together. Blumenthal – a long-time Clinton hanger-on – was working with a group who had business interests in Libya. While she was secretary of state, Clinton received intelligence reports from Blumenthal about Libya. At the same time, he was being paid $10, 000 per month for “full-time” work (that nobody can explain) with the Clinton Foundation. To top it off, the correspondence about national security policy between Clinton and Blumenthal took place on a private e-mail account. To recap the whole situation: In 2011 and 2012 Hillary Clinton, as Secretary of State, used an off-books email account to discuss national policy with a private citizen who might have been violating the law by participating in the conversation, who had a related business interest (though not a “financial interest”?) in the subject of his advice that he may or may not have disclosed to the government, and who was simultaneously employed in a questionable “full-time” capacity at significant expense to a nonprofit that has been accused of acting as the bag man for a Clintonian influence-peddling operation. This is how the Clintons operate. This is how they operated in the White House in the 1990s – unfettered by any semblance of ethics or even the law. For Slate to report on all this is something.

__label__wiki	0.529512	0.529512	Crossdresser Finds Support and Connection in South Carolina LGBTQ Community. In her twenties, Savannah Hauk had a solid support system as a crossdresser in New York City. When her company relocated her to conservative upstate South Carolina, she at first found herself alone and unable to find anyone else that she could relate to. With the aid of her girlfriend, Savannah ultimately found an LGBTQ meetup group and learned that her community was broader than she originally thought. My name is Savannah Hauk and I’m from Garden City, Michigan. In my early twenties, I moved to New York and found Savannah. That was when, you know, the glitz and glamor of, like, the big city… so not midwest Detroit. So, you know, out there, living in the city, like, realizing how I can be this person. And so, like, in early nineties, I went ahead and proclaimed the title and moniker of a crossdresser. And Savannah became. You know, a lot of people don’t understand what a crossdresser is. I mean, I am non-transitioning. I do this periodically but it is a very important aspect of what I do in my presentation, in wanting to express that. Even crossdressing crosses a huge spectrum. We’re not all fetishists, we’re not all weekend warriors. I mean some people do it do de-stress after work. Some people like myself just want to go out and be ourselves and this is truly a part of who I am. It was really funny, it was in those years after that, it was really, like… not a fantasy but it was really something that you could really dig into. I mean, the nightlife was so amazing, friends were so amazing, and over a period of years between like ‘97 early 2000s, I mean, I grew with a set of friends that were crossdressers and we had private events that, you know, I could – I found my people, found my tribe, which was, like, amazing to be able to do that. Unfortunately, come to – a couple years ago, I was priced out of the city altogether. I wasn’t even living in the city. I was living on Long Island but I couldn’t live there anymore. I had asked my company to relocate me down to a branch in South Carolina in the upstate, which was terrifying because I had to do the move. I didn’t want to actually lose my job or go looking for a new career. So I did it and then realized I’m going to some place where guns are plentiful and is super conservative.. Southern Baptists, traditional values, which was a terrifying prospect for me. So I was giving up everything. All that confidence and the bravery and, like, the “I don’t give a damn” that I had in New York was gone. In just an instant. So, like, basically the trip down, the roadtrip down, took it all away from me. Now all of a sudden, there’s now an uber desperation because I couldn’t find those people before I moved and now on down there, strictly in male mode because I’m terrified to just walk outside the door as Savannah. We were looking everywhere could on on social media to find a place or a group of people who were like me. So I’m sitting here in the house, my poor girlfriend is, like, trying to look up stuff online with me. We’re on the back porch, trying to find anything I can do to hang my hat on, to find my community, my people. We did look at FetLife and we looked at meetacrossdresser.com. And we were looking for that cross-section of people that I knew I could connect with, the other crossdressing cross-section. That’s why we couldn’t find it within 100 or 200 miles of our location in South Carolina, It just didn’t exist. So after, like, a few months of being there, depression set in. I was morose, I was strictly in male mode with, like, no way to dress. I mean, I could dress in the house, which felt – would feel like a cheat. When you’re at home and you spend all this time getting ready and then you’re sitting at home on the couch, that is a validation that what you’ve done or are doing is shameful and I don’t want to feel shame. The whole point of being me is to be visible and out. And it just – so my girlfriend and I were sitting. We finally found a meetup group. There was just the LG+ group they got together once a month, the, like, the third Friday of every month. And I texted the author and I’m like, “Hey, is it okay if I come?” He’s like, “Sure, why not?” I was like, “Well, because I’m a cross dresser. Like, you’re not my people per se. Is it okay? Will you accept me to come to these?” He was like, “Yeah, absolutely. So that night I got ready and I walked out the door. Kind of twilight. So I’m in the parking lot. There’s a couple people standing around just talking and I’m now fearful that they may see me and say something. They didn’t. Got to the car. Made my way to the restaurant. And I’m also sitting in my car looking at people around me, worried that they’re gonna say something and accost me or give me a look. And I can finally get the nerve to go inside. All of a sudden, I’m in a sea of older gay gentlemen, parents of trans kids, trans masculine thems, and just allies. And just all of a sudden, there’s this huge community that where – I’m still the only crossdresser, but all of a sudden, it’s like my world had exploded outward to something much bigger than just a bunch of crossdressers. It was actually – I am now telling my story to gay men who don’t know what a crossdresser And, you know, me learning about how it’s like to be a parent of a trans child. It was just really an amazing experience to probably get to realize I didn’t have to just be with my own kind but really be with the entire community and be accepted. And for me that was a revelation. So I – really, the irony is I had to move to South Carolina to realize that the group is so much bigger, so much more accepting that I even realized it was or what I needed. So it really was an eye-opener and kind of like transformative for me. Broadening the search for the community for me ended up… again, I made friends that I never would have made, I made connections I never would’ve made. I heard stories I never would have heard had I not just been in the same room. The importance of being that person, the importance of hearing stories, being an active listener, in just just taking it in… I mean, if you’re empathetic and sympathetic, you are gonna be enriched by what you hear in the story. And just because it’s not you, just because it’s not your brand or your label, I think that’s limiting. I think that you always have to try to look outside because you may find that one of those people that you don’t think you’re like – you’re exactly like. ◊♦◊ Have you read the original anthology that was the catalyst for The Good Men Project?

__label__cc	0.673679	0.326321	The Butterfly Hotel The Meaning of International Movement in Roger Robinson’s ‘Monarch Exodus’ In ‘Monarch Exodus’, Roger Robinson uses the image of a travelling host of butterflies in order to draw attention to the plight of the immigrant who similarly must flee from home and venture onwards to a setting both unfamiliar and hostile. Robinson offers insight into the mental process of the travelling character, whose overlapping fear and gritty determination is able to reflect the stance of so many across the globe forced to seek solace in foreign lands. Through the extended metaphor of flying butterflies, Robinson is able to track the mental and physical journey of refugees journeying in search of safety. This is immediately made apparent by the regular ABA rhyme scheme used to mirror the monotonous journey of the traveller, or perhaps echo the pace of the refugee’s heart which rapidly and nervously beats. Detailing this is the mid-stanza line ‘We’re restless hearts that live in flight’, with the synecdoche of ‘hearts’ coupled with the blunt form of declarative working to convey the sense that the immigrant’s lifestyle is governed by base physical instincts which arise from within. Indeed, the poem is written predominately in iambic tetrameter which is able to capture the determination of the travelling butterfly, or immigrant, who refuses to ‘stop till [the] journey’s done’, and the regular rhythm also gives the poem a cyclic quality suggesting that the plight of the refugee is one that continues to arise in times of crisis. The stressed opening word in the line ‘Most won’t get back to where they’re from’ is particularly interesting therefore in breaking from the standard iambic tetrameter, thus positioning absolute focus on the dangers of the immigrant’s travel which is implied to lead to estrangement from home, and at times, death. The line ‘The time to fly again has come.’ is one that is repeated as a mantra throughout, and this structural choice paired with the hyperbaton of the line aligning audience sympathies with the restless traveler in suggestions that they will again have to make such a perilous journey in the future. To close the poem on dynamic verb ‘come’, and to do so with an emphatic end stop urges privileged readers to act in support for refuges and ‘come’ to their aid with sympathy and supplies. Indeed, the choice of a butterfly with regular connotations in the title- ‘Monarch’- further encourages audiences to disregard their biased and stereotypical views of the traveller as low on the social scale, and to view them as on par if not higher to their own positions within society due to the determination and stamina of the immigrant. The stanzas decrease in length throughout, moving from three lines to two lines to eventually one, and this might be read as a structural metaphor for the time that is running out, therefore forcing the characters to act in haste to finish their journey. Furthermore, the liminal space of the ‘sky’ is used throughout the poem to dramatise the plight of the butterflies, and by extension the immigrants, who are caught between homes, and we can understand the point that Robinson is making that the anxiety felt by the traveller is not based primarily in fear or danger, but in a distinct lack of certainty. The slant-rhyme of diction ‘fly’ and ‘alive’ is one reformulated twice throughout the poem, explaining the determination of the unified voice through suggesting that not only their mental safety, but their very lives rest upon the journey they are making, and this is exemplified through the fricatives of ‘few’ and ‘fly’ which help convey the poet’s central message of the dangers of immigration to the immigrant. On a similar note, Robinson offers a humanised perspective of the refugee, exploring the mindset of a traveller to further compel readers to empathise with the struggling narrators. Such is made evident by the first-person person voice which creates an intimate tone aimed at winning the sympathies of the audience. Furthermore, the butterflies are referred to through inclusive pronoun ‘We’ throughout, which suggests that the refugees must seek solace and strength in each other’s company in order to complete their mission. Alternatively, the inclusive pronoun could be read as including the reader, therefore creating the unsettling message that all might be forced to quickly leave their homes at some point in their lives. Dramatising this is the line ‘when we move, we move as one’, with the caesura and repeated dynamic verb ‘move’ conveying the danger and peril of the journey through suggesting that it is riddled with action and impulsive decisions. The declarative is a form used throughout the poem, used to mark out the stamina of the immigrants who are determined to finish their journey. One compelling example of this is the opening line ‘We won’t stop till our journey’s done.’, with the unusually stressed syllable of ‘We’ paired with the empathic end-stop implying that the characters are utterly focused on their goal to flee from danger and seek safety. The end-stop is the form of punctuation most commonly employed throughout the stanzas which conveys the single-track mindset of the refugee who refuses to sway from his position of determination. The phrase ‘We’ll rest among the leaves tonight’ offers a surprisingly tender moment thus stressing the importance of peace and gentleness in times of terror. In ‘Monarch Exodus’, Robinson through the extended picture of a swarm of butterflies is able to aptly capture the conflicting emotions of fear, danger, uncertainty, and determination which are felt by immigrants who travel daily across the globe. The poem can be read as a warning sign to modern readers to take action and offer support to those in need of a home.

__label__wiki	0.837845	0.837845	Behind the drumbeat of relentlessly negative press references to magazine newsstand trends, the special interest publications (SIP)/bookazine segment is thriving, and channel partners are aggressively moving to forge innovative, productive partnerships with retailers to address challenges and opportunities on both sides. Those were among the main takeaways from several leading industry executives on a retail opportunities panel during the 2018 MBR Conference. Channel Partners Teaming for Summits With Retailers The executives reported on cooperative outreach efforts to retailers, inspired and supported by the industry’s new “What If We Leveraged Everything Magazines and Books Have to Offer?” initiative and presentation template. Jay Felts, president of national distributor Comag Marketing Group (CMG), reported that several publishers and ND's have gone together to have “summits” with key retailers in the past few months, and that there have been a growing number of other retailer meetings over the past 12 to 18 months, as well. Because of the magazine category’s sales challenges, “When you walk into a retailer now, you’ve got their attention — particularly if you’re talking outside of the box,” he observed. “Receptivity is 100%. And they’ve been pleasantly surprised that we’re not there primarily to fight over checkout positions — although,” he smiled, “we might get to that at the end. Instead, we start by talking about the bigger picture and how we can help them take advantage of the assets that publishers bring to the party. And that’s been a home run everywhere.” The summits with retailers have been “the most refreshing days of the year for me…they have opened up new doors,” Felts continued. He described one as being a “tough love” experience. The retailer drove home that the magazine category “can no longer feel entitled to checkout space — it has to earn it every single week, because the pressures at retail are immense”... magazines “can’t just keep doing the same things at checkout and think we’ll keep that display.” Innovation: Craved by Retailers, Survival Key for Publishers At the same time, even traditional supermarket retailers are indicating a willingness “to test everything,” Felts said. For instance, he said, while acknowledging that there are obstacles to magazines being featured in “click and collect” (order online, pick up at store) promotions, one retailer urged: 'Let’s forget about why we can’t do it, and figure out what we can do.' “So many things are doable," Felts continued. "And what we’ve seen in the last eight to 10 weeks from publishers [in terms of support for new initiatives] has been phenomenal. That's not just because we’re going to sell [more] copies, but also because they’re enthused that we’re getting the message out to the retail community that print at retail is alive and well…and that, by the way, print can also include mobile and social and click-and-collect and sharing e-commerce and website information, and other benefits for retailers. Our intent now is to roll out [implementing concepts from] these retailer summits one by one.” “As someone who lives in the trenches, I’m very encouraged by what I’ve heard [at the MBR Conference] — strong support from retailers who ‘get’ our category and what we’re up against,” said Dave Parry, president and CEO of wholesaler TNG. “Of course, that’s not always the case. Retailers are going through complete transformation now… they’re scrambling, and like all categories, we're caught up in this transformation. “The days of convention are over at retail,” Parry stressed. “We’re not going to be able to say, ‘We should have this space because we’ve been there in the past.’ And it’s not just about periodicals; it’s about [retailers wanting] creativity across the entire [store]… We must think about the business unconventionally. While we’re still thinking about getting the product into the store and selling it, retailers are thinking about creating experiences and driving continuous interaction and digital purchases with their shoppers." Innovative thinking and initiatives will become ever more crucial, particularly as scan-to-pay technology begins to reduce checkouts, Parry pointed out. For example, magazines may eventually need to segment their display strategy by department, according to synergistic editorial content. Meanwhile, right now, display opportunities may be opening up for appropriate magazines in “stores within stores,” like Ace Hardwares now being opened in some Giant Eagle stores. [Later this week, look for MBR Daily's coverage of Miller Zell’s presentation at the conference, for more on store-within-store opportunities.] Changing the Narrative; Offering Retailer-Specific Solutions Another major opportunity is “changing the narrative,” emphasized Drew Wintemberg, president and CEO of Time Inc. Retail, a Meredith division. “That takes getting to as many executives as we can across the retail industry and conveying the strengths of the category, not just pitching one publisher or magazine.” In addition, newsstand executives need to reach out to and better inform the press — including success stories — so that the channel can get some genuinely deserved positive coverage, argued Wintemberg. “SIPs' success is not getting anywhere near the attention it should," he said. "All we hear is about declining newsstand sales, yet SIP growth is phenomenal. One big problem is that AAM (Alliance of Audited Media) doesn’t count any SIP sales.” Wintemberg also emphasized the need for publishers to work with retailers “to understand their specific issues and needs — like creating an engaging in-store experience, or differentiating themselves — and help them address these. We’re good at coordinating and planning with the terminal and bookstore classes of trade, but we need to expand that and roadmap with a wider cross-section of retailers. We need to tap into what the specific retailers are doing and also bring them ideas.” In addition, publishers should better leverage their in-house assets, including social media, video and email promotions, to enhance newsstand performance, he said. “We need to harness the power that we have in our own shops the same way that we do that for advertisers. We don’t create communities around our own brands... We need to get people internally, who are more used to focusing on advertisers, to think about [the newsstand channel's consumer-driven revenue] and extending those resources to retail.” Magazines have major advantages over other categories, starting with extremely varied, trusted and inspiring content that can help retailers differentiate themselves, he stressed. Further, magazine and book content lends itself readily to customized initiatives for retailers, Wintemberg and others pointed out. Publications have the unique ability to create products that home in on whatever topic a retailer may wish to focus, such as beauty, health care, specific food categories, or home improvement, Wintemberg and others pointed out. Parry referenced a Selena tribute SIP created recently for H-E-B as one extremely successful example of custom retailer content. He also mentioned a custom, toy-branded bookazine in the concept stage that would be displayed in-aisle, within a specific retail chain, in front of the brand's toys. The SIP would also feature a value-added, cover-mounted toy. Books Have Similar Array of Assets, Tools Tom Cox, VP, mass merchandise and distributor sales, Penguin Random House, reported that retailers increasingly are asking book publishers for exclusive content — particularly in nonfiction — to help differentiate themselves from competitors. While that doesn’t fit with the age-old print publications model of printing in volume and distributing en masse, “it’s important, and all publishers are doing some customization,” Cox said. “I think most of the time we do it not because we’re going to sell 10% or 20% more copies, but because it’s meaningful to the retailer to be able to say, 'We have something that’s a little different.' But we also need to strive to [make sure that it's] a meaningful exclusive." Cox also said that publishers — and many authors — are doing excellent jobs of building their platforms and targeting audiences via social media. “The next level is doing something retailer-specific with a platform,” he said, citing the example of a competitive publisher that created retailer-specific Instagram videos to promote a Joanna Gaines book in Target. The effort gave an extra boost to sales, which hit 90,000 copies in Target within two weeks, he noted. However, Cox said, “I still think that authors are under-utilized.” Publishers can do more to help retailers by offering them access to top authors for selective consumer-facing events and promotions, he said. Going On the Offensive “There are two big areas of challenge” in the newsstand channel, summed up Felts. “One is cost pressures within the supply chain; the other is finding a way to drive consumer consumption. But if we fail to make positive progress on the second, the first really doesn’t matter. “We have plenty of tools to drive consumption and activate consumers around our category," he said. "[But] to win this war — the toughest battle we’ve ever seen for display space — we’ve got to speak up, step forward and go forward to retailers with one voice… Let’s go out there with a positive narrative. And let’s go on the offensive, not feel that we have to apologize for our business. Let’s put the other categories we compete with on the defensive.” “The message the retailers have delivered to us in the summits is that we have to get our act together and demonstrate that we’re committed to retail,” added Wintemberg. “That’s the fundamental narrative behind ‘Leveraging Everything.’” Parry said that “misinformation about our category” is easily the biggest challenge for magazines in the retail channel. “Every major CPG company is attacking our category, using misinformation” — particularly the untrue cliché that print is dead — to try to undermine retailers' perceptions and treatment of magazines and books, he said. “The determination that we show in the next year is going to position our category for many years to come,” Parry concluded. “So let’s have the grit, the focus, the energy that we need to get this taken care of.”	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0014.json.gz/line3353

Combining the roots rock, blues and soul influences of their home state Alabama, and reinventing it for a modern audience made them one of the most distinguishable and credible new bands on the world circuit. Now returning with their follow up 'Sound & Color', the southern rock outfit are looking to continue their journey of exploration and deliver an even more emphatic release. From the off, 'Sound & Color' looks to deliver a mix of intense instrumentation and emotional songwriting, creating an album that highlights both the band's soothing and soaring rhythms. Piano organs, screeching guitars and powerful vocals flood this new release with such a raw energy, letting it play in the background would be a shameful thing. This album demands to be heard and does so with such an effortless finesse. While it may not have the same initial impact of their debut, this new full-length still holds those same core beliefs and roots rock influences at its centre. Keeping it focused in direction but with a subtle flare that will prick up the ears of all those that hear it. La Roux - 'Trouble In Paradise' Turn To Crime - 'Can't Love' Ab-Soul - 'These Days...'

In order to better advocate the correct concepts of rational investment, professional investment, and value investment, popularize global market venture capital planning. The Electronic technical team joined forces with the world’s top blockchain experts to invest tens of millions of dollars to set up an EA game lab and build an EAiCoin gaming community ecology. Through Project Atlas’ technical trials, Electronic is advancing its cloud gaming plan, which is a publisher’s cloud-native development platform that not only can stream player games, but also developers of the above EAs can build games directly in the cloud. At the same time, the blockchain is integrated into the cloud game plan, and a global leader in blockchain game exploration is explored. With a decentralized cultural architecture, the monopoly of resources and channels in the game industry and the existing experience of blockchain game experience are weak. Two major pain points. Break the channel disadvantages, build a multi-win-win decentralized industrial structure, use decentralized blockchain technology for games, and use global community high-quality games, cross-chain games owned by the multi-party consensus mechanism of EAiCoin users, cross-block, Cross-platform features. It will show global players a deep binding of players and games, a global gaming community that is deeply integrated. Since the 1970s, with the rapid development of cryptographic technology, distributed networks, consensus algorithms, and hardware storage computing capabilities, the conditions for achieving a consensus mechanism between multiple agents through technical means have gradually matured to solve intermediaries in a multi-agent environment. Duty sharing, reducing transaction costs and improving synergy efficiency provide new solutions. Blockchain technology uses code to build a trust mechanism with the lowest cost of machine trust.

Representing a combined experience of over 150 years, the quartet of Maria de Souza, Elizabeth Dunkley, Judy Lindsay and Michel Morin have witnessed first-hand the Library’s evolution and growth over the decades as new technologies reshaped and redefined its role on campus. Throughout the changes, Maria, Elizabeth, Judy and Michel have been enduring pillars within Collections Services, and their hard work, expertise and kindness behind the scenes have left an indelible mark on the Library and the broader McGill community, benefiting the hundreds of thousands of students and researchers who have come through our doors. To honour our departing friends and colleagues, those in the Library who knew them best have added a few words paying homage to the impact they all have had on the Library and beyond. We wish Maria, Elizabeth, Judy and Michel all the best on their well-earned retirements! Maria de Souza and Elizabeth Dunkley by Francisco Uribe We are marking the retirement of four colleagues whose collective McGill Library experience totals 156 years. Half of these have been devotedly logged in by Elizabeth (41 years) and Maria (37). For most of that time, they have been experts in the science and practices of the arcane knowledge required for successfully processing the 14,000 Interlibrary Loans borrowing requests that were received in 2015 from members of the McGill community. At the beginning of their careers searching for ILL materials required verifying card catalogues and reproductions of card catalogues containing millions of individually-typed and often hand-written entries. Requests were sent out by snail mail, hoping to receive a reply within two or three weeks. If the reply was negative, a second letter needed to be typed and mailed to another possible location. Needless to say, it was a slow process, involving much hit and miss. ILL has passed through several evolutionary steps since then. Microfiche catalogues and telex machines have been replaced by today’s explosion of information, world-wide catalogues and almost instant communication. Through many technological innovations, and at least 5 changes of location, Maria and Elizabeth have been essential in ensuring that members of the McGill community from all academic departments are provided with the books and articles essential to their ongoing research. Their contribution was highlighted last year when the ILL Service was awarded the Principal’s Award for Administrative and Support Staff (Team Projects), honouring their customer and community service, quality of work, innovation, teamwork and sustainability. Both Elizabeth and Maria have been the steadfast keepers and transmitters of our ILL traditions, the shared coffee pot, the birthday pastry celebrations gathered ’round a book truck, the collaborative work environment, and the shifting lunch hours. Maria’s home-baked chapatties are a treat. Elizabeth’s knowledge of plants and her green thumb are legendary; many of her colleagues have enhanced our gardens and balconies with plant from her bountiful beds of perennials during her spring plant giveaways. More evidence: three thriving orchids, given to us by a grateful professor years ago and tended by Elizabeth and Maria, have graced our office with uninterrupted blooms for almost eight years. W e will miss their expertise and usual good cheer. Elizabeth’s patient manner in clearly explaining for the umpteenth time a procedure to a technology-challenged prof, and Maria’s dogged persistence in chasing after overdue books. After they leave we’re hoping to forward calls from some of our more demanding clients to Elizabeth in her garden… she’ll know how to solve the problem, for sure. Please join me in an applause of gratitude to Elizabeth Dunkley and Maria de Souza. Judy Lindsay by Marc Richard I knew this was going to be a difficult speech to prepare, so I decided to keep it very short and very simple by saying just a few words about the two things that I’ve appreciated the most about Judy as a colleague over the years: the fact that she is so knowledgeable in her craft and the fact that she is so gracious as a person. I’ve known Judy for over twenty-five years, and in all that time I don’t think I’ve ever seen her lose her temper or heard her say an unkind word to anyone. I have no recollection of that ever happening — and I don’t think it’s because of any memory failings on my part. Judy is just a wonderful person to work with. I know that we’re all going to miss her very much, but I also know that we’re all very happy for her at the thought of her enjoying a truly well-earned retirement. So thank you so much Judy, and we wish you all the best. by the Rare Books Cataloguing Team Judy is the heart and soul of the rare book cataloguing team in Collection Services. During her time here, Judy has worked on a myriad of different collections, such as the Colgate Collection, the Fanny Burney Collection, the Bewick Collection, as well as manuscripts and incunabula. And ephemera. And just about anything Richard has put in front of her! She’s also braved many different metadata standards, most recently RDA, leaping on board and embracing any and all changes. She’s also hands-down one of the most – if not the most – knowledgeable person on the team. We are constantly amazed and inspired by her expertise! She’s also incredibly generous with this knowledge – and her time. She fields our (often constant) questions with infinite patience, and manages to not only teach us how and where to puzzle out information on our various rare book mysteries – making us better cataloguers in the meantime – she also manages to do it in a way that is never belittling. This is also part of what makes her such a fabulous colleague to work with. Those of us who have worked with her for a number of years will also attest to the fact that Judy is also a fabulous colleague because she is a pretty fabulous person overall. Judy, you will be greatly missed. As we muddle through the next while without you, we will try to use what you have taught us wisely. Michel Morin by Peter Martinek Michel started at McGill in December 1968 in the old Redpath Library on a special project. His first job was to stamp books in the basement and keep quiet. The almost impossible task was set for him – I am talking about the second part. But he survived the challenge. But things started to change fast at McGill at this time. In 1970 the new McLennan Library was open – and so new possibilities for Michel to move up. So he did – from the basement to the 6th floor! Which proved to be a fateful move – here he mustered enough courage to ask a colleague for a dance. But it took more than just one dance but at the end it turned out to be one of his best moves. Michel and Catherine got married few years later. Eventually he was put in charge of the Receiving and Binding Section. Not only was he busy with books and periodicals but he proved to be an indispensable party organizer. The 6th floor parties became legendary in library circles and beyond. Life got busier as Astrid and Zoe arrived. He was involved with his family but he still found time to take care of his colleagues as their union representative. But in life sometimes you go up and sometimes you go down. In Michel’s case the whole department went down – to the 2nd floor in Redpath Library, but he continued perform in his 2 jobs. Even if life was more challenged at work and at home Michel never lost his sense of humour and camaraderie. Full of “good old days” stories from McGill, Eastern Townships, travels in Canada and abroad. If only we had more time to sit down and soak in the contents. And man! The cooking trail – tracking the best recipes; restaurant reviews with tips to spare how to cook a special meal. He is definitely game for any culinary adventure. Music is another passion of Michel. He likes all genre of music. His radio has been always on and we are trying hard to keep the radio! But even promising a radio or guaranteeing him a lifetime job for organizing parties is not enough to change his mind! Well, it is time to say good bye and thank you for all your hard work, endless stories and your friendship. So long Michel and please keep in touch!

The hunger strike began as a result of the death of 10 civilians who were killed by the security forces at a bus stop near Imphal airport. All these years, she has been forcibly nose-fed at a government hospital in Imphal. Who knew the struggle would be so long? All she demands for is the repeal of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act, which gives unrestrained powers to the armed forces. According to the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act, 1958, in the 7 North-Eastern states and J&K, the armed forces can arrest, search without a warrant and use force on the basis of “reasonable suspicion” that a person is engaging in anti-national activities. But since nothing substantial has been done regarding the same despite several court visits, she feels it to be the need of the hour to take the fight ahead in a different way and thus wants to enter the political scenario. According to agency reports, Sharmila wants to fight elections in the area and deal with the menace. She was quoted saying, “I will break my fast as the Govt has failed to give any positive response”. The hunger strike is expected to end on August 9 after over 500 weeks. Totally heart-wrenching! In the past 16 years, she has seen her mother only once fearing that her presence will make her weak and lead her to break the resolve. The elections for the Manipur Legislative Assembly are slated to take place in early 2017.

The reserves, which rose by $13 million on Tuesday February 22, have continued to blossom its way out of the 11-year low positions. The consecutive rise started on Thursday February 24, from $27.804 billion to $27.823 billion as at February 29, surging gradually through the days in-between. N2bn Fraud: Twist As Judge Returns Oronsaye’s Case File The N2bn fraud case involving a former Head of Service, HoS, to the Federation, Stephen Oronsaye, would have to start de novo as the presiding judge, Justice J. T. Tsoho, has said he has been “instructed” to return the case file to Justice Gabriel Kolawole, who was initially assigned the case in July 2015.

Building And Navigating A Path To Collaborative Digital Platforms For Oregon’S Libraries: There Are Many Ways To Get There, Arlene Weible, Ross Fuqua Aug 2019 Building And Navigating A Path To Collaborative Digital Platforms For Oregon’S Libraries: There Are Many Ways To Get There, Arlene Weible, Ross Fuqua Over the last several years, the State Library of Oregon has explored options and supported a variety of projects to promote collaboration among libraries to build and sustain Oregon digital collections. Activities such as hosted meetings, grant funding, and pilot projects have identified both opportunities and roadblocks to collaboration, especially for Oregon’s small public libraries. A clear and distinct path has proven to be somewhat elusive, and the journey itself has demonstrated that a one-size-fits-all solution is unlikely to emerge soon.

__label__wiki	0.576206	0.576206	Pulling 50 MW of Electricity from A Pakistan Wind Corridor November 05, 2014 at 03:11pm The wind energy potential in Pakistan is huge. This country, which has an urgent need to increase electricity production and also manage the cost of fuel imports, has a total potential wind power capacity of 132,000 megawatts (MW). By comparison, the country’s total power demand was 18,400 MW in April 2014. The country has just begun to tap this potential, with total installed capacity of just 106 MW. However, that wind generation capacity will grow by nearly 50% once the 50 MW Sapphire Wind Power Farm is commissioned. As has just been announced, the farm will be powered by 33 GE 1.5-82.5 wind turbines. GE’s 1.5-MW turbine, which delivers proven performance and reliability, is one of the most widely used wind turbines in its class, with more than 15,500 units in operation worldwide. GE will provide 10 years of operations and maintenance at the facility, which is located outside the southeastern city of Karachi. Located in the Gharo-Keti Bandar Wind Corridor, which alone has a wind energy generating capacity of 50,000 MW of electricity, the wind farm is owned by the Sapphire Group and is being built by HydroChina. Ultimately, Pakistan seeks to install 9,700 MW of wind power by 2030, sufficient to provide 5% of the country’s total electricity demand. Although this is GE’s first wind project in Pakistan, it is a continuation of an 18-year relationship between GE and the Sapphire Group. This includes GE providing its Jenbacher engines and gas turbines for various power projects in Pakistan, including the 225 MW Muridke Power Station.

__label__cc	0.693953	0.306047	Bivy Camping from the Cetus LV Tuesday, December 21st, 2010 I got my new Outdoor Research Highlands Bivy in and was aching to get out and try it so I decided to do a quick overnight considering I had to work the next morning. I packed up my Cetus LV and headed out from the Isles of Capri in Naples, FL to head out to Keewaydin Island, the 1st barrier island of the 10,000 Islands chain. I left around 4:45 pm with sunset at 5:29 pm. Reached Keewaydin Island, 3.75 miles away, with time to set up the Bivy camp site, which was very fast, and then watch the sunset. Even in Southern Florida is was feeling frosty as it got down to 46 degrees so I warmed by the fire as the Slickrock Beans cooked and then hit the bivy for the night. Awoken by noisy powerboats partying I left at 2:30am and was awarded by the lunar eclipse to paddle back under. A pleasant night indeed. Posted in Trip Reports \| Sea Kayak Circumnavigation of Great Britain 2010 On 20th April 2010 I set out from Falmouth in Cornwall, attempting to become the first person in 5 years to complete a full circumnavigation of Great Britain by kayak. Since the first successful completion 30 years previous, only a handful of people had made it all the way round, but for various reasons none who had started in the last 5 years had finished – with bad weather usually a key factor. Having only limited sea kayaking experience the aim was not to break any records, but simply to finish and raise money for two charities: WaterAid, and Crohn’s and Colitis UK. After 82 days paddling and a huge 56 days given up to the weather, injury, and having my kayak and gear stolen, and with over 2200 miles of paddling behind me, I finally made it back into Falmouth on 4th September. The Expedition: The beginning of the expedition saw near ideal conditions with a high pressure weather system allowing rapid progress around the Lizard and Land’s End, and all the way up Cornwall and Devon to South Wales, crossing the Bristol Channel from Ilfracombe to the Gower. 2 weeks of northerly winds meant progress was slow up the coast of Wales, before a major setback occurred when my kayak and a lot of gear was stolen in North Wales. For the following few days the expedition received a lot of media attention, which not only helped the fundraising for the charities and the exposure for sponsors, but also played a large part in the recovery of the kayak and the gear: the story appeared in local as well as national news, including the front page of the BBC News website. Unbelievably, the damage to the boat was limited to few scrapes to the hull and a couple of snapped deck lines; none of the kit in the boat had been taken. From north Wales, after the recovery of the gear, progress was steady as far as the Isle of Skye, with just a few days lost to the weather here and there. The section through SW Scotland was – as anticipated – breathtaking, with the high rugged cliffs around the Mulls of Galloway and Kintyre, the gannet colony on Ailsa Craig in the middle of the Firth of Clyde, and the beautiful Sounds of Jura and Mull particularly memorable. When the scheduled support driver withdrew, I found the two weeks from Ardnamurchan Point up to Kinlochbervie particularly challenging. A few days on the Isle of Skye in strong winds followed by relatively slow progress towards Cape Wrath meant I was starting to fall further behind schedule, and doubts were starting to creep in regarding whether or not there was enough time to finish. With this in mind, I made it from Kinlochbervie to John o’Groats in 2 days, with only 3 hours sleep at Armadale taking advantage of the extremely long hours of daylight, in order to get through the notorious Pentland Firth on neap tides. However, knocking off the 93 miles in such an intense time period resulted in tendonitis developing in my fingers and right wrist: for the next few days each meal would be accompanied by painkillers and anti-inflamatories, and I was forced to wear wrist supports both whilst kayaking and sleeping. Annoyingly this meant having to cut out the latex wrist seals from the cag: the cold waters around the north of Scotland suddenly felt much colder! The Moray Firth was crossed in a single hit from Helmsdale to Lossiemouth: then the longest single crossing of the trip at just over 8 hours. Consecutive days paddling as far as Montrose meant I had just about caught up with the schedule, only for gale force winds to hit, taking out another 8 days. Once the open crossings of the Firths of Tay and Forth had been completed and I’d crossing the border back into England, the east coast was completed with few breaks until arriving at Clacton-on-Sea, just before the Thames estuary. A couple of days of southerly winds provided a good opportunity to rest up before the next major crossing, and also allowed a crucial repair to the hull of the kayak: my boots had worn through the GRP, and the only thing keeping the water out (and keeping me afloat!) was the thin layer of gel coat. Once across the Thames and onto the South Coast, consecutive days of decent weather saw me to Torquay; south-west winds meant daily distance decreased to 20-25 miles, but momentum was building toward the home straight and I was beginning to creep ahead of schedule for the first time since April. Another week of bad weather followed, before the final few days paddling around Start Point, across the Tamar, and back down the south coast of Cornwall into Falmouth on the 4th September. In Falmouth, TV, radio and newspaper coverage helped to push the fundraising total to over £10,000, and the kayak with some of the gear used has gone on display in the National Maritime Museum Cornwall. A huge thank you to Liz and the teams at Pyranha and P&H for such generous support for the expedition: the stability afforded by the Cetus was a large factor in getting all the way round without a single capsize – and the ongoing support, especially with help and advice regarding minor repairs and maintenance, has been truly outstanding.

ATA GIRL TBR April 2018 An all-new Original series from Big Finish Productions, available singly or as part of the Big Finish Originals bundle ‘ATA Girl’ is a drama inspired by the real women of the Air Transport Auxiliary during WWII. From the UK and beyond, a hundred and sixty eight female pilots, alongside the men, transported a vast range of aircraft from the factories to the squadrons, sometimes flying in perilous weather conditions and without radios or instrument instruction. One in ten ATA pilots died. Told as a series of reminiscences from (fictitious) former pilot Amelia Curtis, the stories aim to honour these unsung heroes of WWII, whose shared passion for flying contributed so much to the war effort and who represented one of the first examples of ‘equality in the work place’ for women in the UK. 1.1 Up in the Air by Gemma Page It’s March 1944 and young widow Daphne Coyne arrives at the Air Transport Auxiliary, having signed up to train as a new pilot. Already unsure of her decision, she is shocked to find that her estranged younger sister, Rebecca, has also joined the ATA, hoping for a chance of reconciliation. As Daphne grows close to her flying instructor, the injured former RAF pilot, David, and discovers an unexpected passion for flying, the two sisters try to navigate their broken relationship. But David has family trapped in Belgium and Daphne has a plan that could jeopardise all of their futures… 1.2 Dancing With A Spitfire by Victoria Saxton In 1942, Glamorous ‘It Girl’, Second Officer Mina Lauderdale is enjoying her work with the ATA, flying her aircraft recklessly and living up to her nickname, ‘The Wildcard’! However, amidst all of the press attention, the partying and the endless flirting, Mina is secretly running away from an unwanted destiny. It’s only when she meets outspoken US pilot Jeanette that Mina finally begins to discover her true self and face up to the reality of who she wants to be. 1.3 Flying Blind by Helen Goldwyn 1942-43, Judith Heathcote has been with the ATA since the start and is one of the few mothers in the Corps. With her husband ‘missing presumed dead’ and her daughter living with her parents, Judith is beginning to question the sacrifices she’s making for the war effort. Seen as a maternal figure by many of her colleagues, it seems that Judith looks out for everyone but herself. So when a chance of happiness arises, she seizes upon it, only to find herself caught up in a series of events that propel her towards an unthinkable solution. 1.4 Grounded by Jane Slavin It’s early 1945. The end of the war is closer than the pilots realise, but meanwhile there is an unexpected air raid to contend with. When the sirens sound at the ATA ferry pool, the women have to find a way to protect themselves and each other: some making it to the bomb shelter, whilst others are trapped above. Elsewhere, RAF pilot Walter (already traumatised by his war experience) has come to seek solace with ATA pilot Amelia.

__label__cc	0.512591	0.487409	Mix it Up, Be Messy: Intersectional Research to Understand Contemporary Politics Liza Mügge and Silvia Erzeel — 1st December 2016 How to understand complex inequalities and power changes in diverse societies? Intersectionality is the answer. Michael Moore predicted Donald Trump‘s triumph already in the summer in a five point list. One of the reasons, he argued, is ‘The Last Stand of the Angry White Men.’ Imagine how the world looks from his point of view, Moore writes. A woman presidential candidate who advocates minority rights, the increase of vocal black women, like Beyoncé. In that mind the idea of woman bossing them around after eight years of black presidency is unbearable. Other than the majority of analysts and opinion makers Moore looked at the electorate from an intersectional perspective. Being attentive to intersections between gender, race, social class and geographical location his interpretation of polls was right. If we only look at gender we see indeed that Trump received more votes from men and that Clinton received more votes from women. An intersectional analysis of the US election results shows us a different picture. Christina Bejarano, of the University of Kansas, provides us with the numbers in her recent blogpost. Trump received most support from white men, 62 percent. The majority of these men have no college degree and have strong evangelical convictions. But Trump won also among white women, 53 percent. Despite the overt misogyny and sexism that dominated the campaign and despite some Republican women who openly distanced themselves from Trump. Laura Morgan Roberts and Robin Ely of the Harvard Business School explain why. Of the white women who voted for Trump, 62 percent have no college degree. Trump’s campaign successfully tapped into their fears of immigration and frustrations about diminishing labour market opportunities for their husbands and sons. Yet, also women with college degrees voted for Trump, no less than 45 per cent. Roberts and Ely’s explanation is twofold. First, Trump’s fiscal policy proposals may have attracted them. The second factor relates to a pervasive gender dynamic. Men and women are socialized to associate leadership with a certain type of masculinity. Trump embodies exactly that type of leadership. What this all shows, is that women are diverse. Moreover, women vote for parties and for the ideas of these parties and not on a women candidate per se. The US election results show that intersectionality, even in its most basic form, is an indispensable tool for any political scientist to make sense of the current shift in power. A few years back Wendy Smooth wrote that intersectional research will be messy, but worth it. This is exactly the time to revisit traditional categories, to get out of the office, experiment and talk to real people. In the Politics special section, “Intersectionality and Political Science Research“, the authors lead the way to do this in the field of public policy, social movements, political theory and representation. Together, the contributions demonstrate what intersectionality has to offer to the different subdisciplines of political science. By directing the attention to the analysis of multiple inequalities, intersectionality sheds new light on the experiences of (multiple) disadvantaged groups and offers a better understanding of the ways power relations play out in politics and policy. Lenita Freidenvall’s analysis of candidate selection in Sweden, for instance, illustrates how an intersectional study of between- and within-group differences generates cumulative insights into inclusion and exclusion in the electoral process. Marie Laperrière and Eléonore Lépinard’s study of social movements in Canada highlights how intersectionality offers new perspectives on collective identity building, interest aggregation and conflict management by social movements. Additionally, it offers tools to uncover hidden biases and to reassess normative standards in political science research. Eline Severs, Karen Celis and Silvia Erzeel use an intersectional lens to reveal the dynamic, productive and relational aspects of power in political representation. Finally, Emanuela Lombardo and Lise Rolandsen Agustin find in their study of gender-based violence policies in the European Union that an intersectional approach improves assessments of the quality of policymaking by rethinking the meaning of inclusiveness and representativeness. The November 2016 issue of Politics features three special sections: Intersectionality and Political Science Research, Resurrecting IR Theory and Teaching Africa and International Studies.

Velela / Wikimedia Commons. CC BY 3.0 The Mediterranean climate - long dry summers, mild winters and rain in spring and autumn - is found on only 5% of the Earth’s surface, in five regions. These are present in the Jardí Botànic de Barcelona (Botanical Garden of Barcelona), opened in 1999 and located on the hill of Montjuïc. Arranged over 14 hectares of gently sloping ground are botanical collections from Australia, Chile, California, South Africa and the Mediterranean basin, including the Canary Islands. The area has been designed by the architects Carles Ferrater and Josep Lluís Canosa, the landscape architect Bet Figueras, the biologist Joan Pedrola and the horticulturist Artur Bossy. Within what seems to be a large, natural amphitheatre, the planting is organised geographically, as well as being grouped for ecological affinities. The designers took advantage of the terrain in order to create the areas and roads while avoiding excessive earth movement. Notable among its objectives is the conservation, documentation and dissemination of the natural heritage of Catalonia. For this reason, the grounds also houses the building of the Institut Botànic de Barcelona (Botanic Institute of Barcelona), which has an important library and one of the largest herbariums in Catalonia. Montjuïc botanical garden exists side-by-side with the Jardí Botànic Històric (Historic Botanical Garden), opened in 1941 in the Foixarda area. Its location promotes the growth of the Euro-Siberian species of plants. In 1986, it had to close because it was affected by the construction of the Olympic facilities, although it reopened in 2003.

In a highly readable companion to books on faith and history, the scholar and author Johnson has illuminated the Christian world and its fascinating history in a way that no other has. In “the best one-volume history of Christianity ever done,” according to The Christian Century, Johnson takes off in the year 49 with his namesake the apostle Paul. Thus beginning an ambitious quest to paint the centuries since the founding of a little-known “Jesus Sect”, A History of Christianity explores to a great degree the evolution of the Western world. With an unbiased and overall optimistic tone, Johnson traces the fantastic scope of the consequent sects of Christianity and the people who followed them. Information drawn from extensive and varied sources from around the world makes this history as credible as it is reliable. Invaluable understanding of the framework of modern Christianity – and its trials and tribulations throughout history – has never before been contained in such a captivating work. Malcolm Muggeridge New Statesman (London) Paul Johnson’s study of Christianity, from his namesake Apostle to Pope John XXIII, more particularly in relation to the role in world history of the Roman Catholic Church and other institutional manifestations, can only be described as masterly. It combines a great wealth of scholarship, including many fascinating byways as well as the main highways, with a vigorous, confident style, a kind of innate intensity which carries the narrative along so that it rarely falters and is never dull. W. H. C. Frend The New York Review of Books His is a tour de force, one of the most ambitious surveys of the history of Christianity ever attempted and perhaps the most radical. In eight sections, with a great range of reading and a knowledge that is never made tedious, he tells the story of the rise, greatness, and decline of Christianity. Richard Marius The Christian Century Paul Johnson, an English Roman Catholic, has given us the best one-volume history of Christianity ever done. Michael McCauley Commonweal That the history of Christianity can be lucidly surveyed in a single, comprehensive volume of 556 pages is no small accomplishment. To Paul Johnson’s credit A History of Christianity neither skimps on significant details or wallows in scholarly fussiness. Johnson provides a panoramic overview of events which have shaped our twentieth century Western lifestyle far more than we realize….For economy of style combined with a sympathetic understanding of the nearly 2000 years of Christianity’s conflicts as well as its glorious achievements, Johnson’s History is exceptional. Robert Kirsch Los Angeles Times Johnson has written a readable and provocative history based more on politics, economics and social and cultural facts than on theology….[He] bases his account on modern scholarship, achieves objectivity without aridity, arrives at the present age after examining the recurring cycles of religious response to situations.

__label__cc	0.559802	0.440198	Anti-thymocyte globulin (Thymoglobuline) for renal transplant rejection and aplastic anaemia. Australian Prescriber review From Australian Prescriber: Anti-thymocyte globulin Thymoglobuline (Genzyme) vials containing 25 mg freeze-dried powder Approved indication: renal transplant rejection and aplastic anaemia Australian Medicines Handbook section 14.5.3 Anti-thymocyte globulin is indicated for the prophylaxis of renal graft rejection as well as the treatment of steroid-resistant renal transplant rejection. Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice for most patients with end-stage renal disease. However, 15−35% of transplant recipients will experience one episode of acute rejection in the first year. Giving antibody to deplete thymocytes (T cells) is one way to suppress the immune system to prevent or reverse graft rejection. Anti-thymocyte globulin is a polyclonal antibody against human T cells. It is a gamma immunoglobulin produced by immunising rabbits. As well as depleting T cells in the circulation, anti-thymocyte globulin is also thought to reduce T cell proliferation, homing and cytotoxic effects within the body. Depletion of T cells occurs within a day of starting intravenous treatment. This immunoglobulin has been compared to other treatments in renal transplant patients who are also receiving other immunosuppressant drugs. In a randomised trial of 72 patients, anti-thymocyte globulin was more effective at preventing acute rejection during the first year after transplantation than a similar polyclonal antibody derived from horses (4% vs 25% patients had acute rejection).1 Five years after surgery, patient survival was similar for both treatments, but graft survival was significantly better in patients treated with anti-thymocyte globulin (77%) compared to those treated with the horse antibody (54%).2 The rabbit polyclonal has also been compared to basiliximab (an antibody directed towards the interleukin-2 receptor) for the prevention of acute rejection in 278 renal transplant patients. Although there was a lower incidence of biopsy-proven acute rejection with anti-thymocyte globulin compared to basiliximab (16% vs 26% of patients), approximately half of the patients in both groups had acute rejection, delayed graft function, graft loss or had died after one year.3 In another trial, the rabbit antibody was found to be as effective as a horse antibody at reversing acute rejection episodes (return of serum creatinine to baseline levels). After one year, there was no significant difference in overall graft survival between the two treatments (83% vs 75% of patients). Response to treatment depended on the severity of the initial rejection episode.4 Anti-thymocyte globulin is also indicated for refractory or relapsing aplastic anaemia. This is an autoimmune disease resulting from the destruction of pluripotent stem cells in the bone marrow. Depletion of these stem cells reduces the number of red and white blood cells and platelets. Anti-thymocyte globulin is thought to benefit these patients by preventing activation and clonal expansion of cytotoxic T cells which are involved in mediating the disease. The approval of anti-thymocyte globulin for the treatment of aplastic anaemia is based on an uncontrolled trial of 30 adults and children who had not responded to a course of immunosuppressive therapy (which included a horse anti-lymphocyte antibody). These patients were given a second course of treatment consisting of rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin for 1−5 days plus cyclosporin for 1−180 days and in addition most received granulocyte colony stimulating factor for 1−90 days. After a median of 95 days, 23 of the 30 patients had responded to treatment, which was defined as transfusion not required for at least one month. (Women were less likely to respond than men.) After two and a half years, 93% of the patients were still alive. One patient had died early during treatment from sepsis.5 Following intravenous administration of this drug, fever, chills, dyspnoea, nausea, diarrhoea, changes in blood pressure, malaise, rash and headache consistent with cytokine release syndrome have been reported. Anaphylaxis has also occurred. Reducing the infusion rate may help to reduce the incidence and severity of these adverse events. Premedication with paracetamol, corticosteroids and/or antihistamines is also recommended. This antibody is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to rabbit proteins. Leucopenia and thrombocytopenia are common with anti-thymocyte globulin treatment but can be reversed by decreasing the dose. White blood cell and platelet counts should be monitored. Not surprisingly, infections or reactivation of infections (such as cytomegalovirus) are very common so careful patient monitoring and appropriate prophylaxis are recommended. Immunisation with live vaccines should be avoided. In one of the trials, 19% of patients developed acne.1 Some patients have developed cancer, in particular lymphoma and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disease, after receiving anti-thymocyte globulin as part of their immunosuppression therapy. Around two-thirds of renal transplant patients developed anti-rabbit antibodies to the anti-thymocyte globulin. It is not clear if these antibodies would affect the efficacy of this drug if it is used again. Monitoring the patient’s T cell count to ensure depletion is recommended for all patients receiving treatment. This polyclonal antibody seems to be effective in preventing or reversing rejection in renal transplant patients when given with other drugs to induce immunosuppression. Patients with aplastic anaemia may also benefit from this drug. However, because of the profound depletion in T cells, patients must be monitored closely for serious adverse events. manufacturer provided clinical evaluation Brennan DC, Flavin K, Lowell JA, Howard TK, Shenoy S, Burgess S, et al.

__label__wiki	0.684559	0.684559	Wednesday, 9:13pm jan middendorp Porto plays host to an inspiring AGI Open conference This year’s AGI (Alliance Graphique International) conference is taking place in Porto, a spectacular yet run-down city that bears many traces of Portugal’s current economic crisis, writes Jan Middendorp. However Porto is a vibrant town with an eager student population, an energetic cultural life and a few excellent graphic and typographic studios, the best known of which is R2, run by Lizá Ramalho and Artur Rebelo (below), who have taken on the gargantuan task of organising not just the AGI’s yearly convention and exhibition but also Monday’s AGI Open, the organisation’s first conference open to non-members. The location was the Casa da Musica (top, designed by Rem Koolhaas) and the dense and varied programme included Korean designer Ahn Sang-soo; French and Swiss design icons Pierre Bernard, Peter Knapp and Bruno Monguzzi; current AGI President Paula Scher and two of her partners at Pentagram in NY, Abbott Miller (below) and Michael Bierut; plus two of the design heroes today’s students admire most: Marian Bantjes and Stefan Sagmeister. Entrance fees were kept exceptionally low, in view of the economic situation in Portugal – with a full house as a result. Most of the speakers actually stuck to the theme, ‘Process is the Project’, allowing their audience a peek behind the scenes, offering them a glimpse of things that may never appear in magazines or coffee-table books. Bantjes (above) was among the speakers who took the brief all the way, showing photographs of the places where her ideas are generated (bed, couch, bath tub) or executed (kitchen table). She also zoomed in on the details of a rejected magazine cover. Pierre Bernard (above) reminded the audience in the uniquely flavoured English of a thoroughly French intellectual that good design can only take place when the designer appropriates the assignment and gets deeply involved in the subject matter, and the client ‘gradually loses exclusive ownership of the brief’. Michael Bierut (above) discussed his work on a New York school library project, analysing the pitfalls of designer arrogance and impatience (jumping to conclusions about the project at hand, proposing standard solutions rather than looking at whom the project really addresses). What was possibly most revealing to many young designers was that graphic design is often about much more than design. It can involve an understanding of literature, as in the book covers by A2’s Henrik Kubel; a playful, personal philosophy of the world, as in Sara Fanelli’s illustrative designs (above); a confrontation with dance and movement, as in Cyan’s designs and image-making for Berlin’s Compagnie Toula Limnaios. Or it can involve three years of research into past and present cityscapes and musical cultures, as in Estudio Mariscal’s forthcoming animated feature film Chico & Rita (above and below). This movie was probably the conference’s biggest scoop. Set in 1940s Havana and New York, with an original soundtrack, the film is in a genre of its own. It will première in November. At AGI Open, a lovingly produced ‘making of‘ was glowingly presented by Javier Mariscal’s brother Tono Errando. If a conference is intelligent, and the speakers experienced – and this first AGI Open was about as good as it gets – attending it can be a defining experience for a young designer. ‘Inspiring’ is a much-abused word, but yesterday was just that – one of the most intense design events I have witnessed.

__label__cc	0.646886	0.353114	10 year bond yield and mortgage rates Mortgage rates surge higher as markets fret over Federal Reserve’s monetary strategy November 10, 2018 – 08:00 am Mortgage rates moved higher this week following a sharp increase in long-term bond yields. According to the latest data released Thursday by Freddie Mac, the 30-year fixed-rate average climbed to 3.96 percent with an average 0.6 point. (Points are fees paid to a lender equal to 1 percent of the loan amount.) It was 3.88 percent a week ago and 3.41 percent a year ago. The 30-year fixed rate has remained below 4 percent for the past seven weeks. The 15-year fixed-rate average jumped to 3.22 percent with an average 0.5 point. It was 3.17 percent a week ago and 2.74 percent a year ago. The five-year adjustable rate average rose to 3.21 percent with an average 0.5 point. It was 3.17 percent a week ago and 2.68 percent a year ago. The movement of the 10-year Treasury bond tends to be one of the best indicators of where mortgage rates are headed. When yields rise, home loan rates tend to go up as well. In the past 10 days, the yield on the 10-year bond shot up 21 basis points to 2.35 percent on Tuesday before falling back to 2.33 percent on Wednesday. (A basis point is 0.01 percentage point.) Besides jitters over North Korea’s long-range-missile test, financial markets have been rattled by the Federal Reserve’s expected sell-off of its balance sheet. In minutes from the June meeting, which were released Tuesday, the central bank signaled that it will press ahead with unwinding its stimulus program and raising its benchmark rate. Nonetheless, some observers say this latest rate surge may have already run out of steam. Bankrate.com, which puts out a weekly mortgage rate trend index, found that two-thirds of the experts it surveyed predict rates will remain relatively stable in the coming week. Brett Sinnott, vice president of capital markets at CMG Financial, is one who expects rates to hold steady. “Fortunately for the housing market, political stories continue to dominate the news, which has allowed rates to remain fairly stable to start the summer, ” Sinnott said. “It is still expected that the Fed will increase rates at least once more this year. So far, the moves have had little effect on mortgages.” Meanwhile, mortgage applications picked up slightly last week, according to the latest data from the Mortgage Bankers Association. The market composite index — a measure of total loan application volume — increased 1.4 percent. The refinance index fell 0.4 percent, while the purchase index rose 3 percent. The refinance share of mortgage activity accounted for 44.9 percent of all applications. “Purchase applications increased last week and reached their highest level in two weeks as factors supporting housing in the U.S. remained healthy, ” said Joel Kan, an MBA economist. “The 30-year fixed mortgage rate increased to its highest level since May 2017, following a jump in the U.S. 10-year Treasury, which was driven mainly by news that European economies have strengthened and the [European Central Bank] may be poised to tighten its accommodative policies. Refinance applications fell slightly in response and the refi index remained close to its 2017 year-to-date average.” Source: www.washingtonpost.com Fixed bond interest rates Bond yields and interest rates Government bonds uk rates 10 year treasury bond yield rate Bond yield rates	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0014.json.gz/line3432
__label__wiki	0.908061	0.908061	Reggie Watts Le Gesù, Montreal, QC, July 24 By Jeff Miller Half concert, half stand-up, and populated by strange characters whose identities are never fully made clear, Reggie Watts's comedy travels anywhere and everywhere his imagination can take him. Watts emerged on stage speaking in surprisingly proficient Parisian-accented French, and rambled about cheese and clowns for five minutes until he began playing the first song of the night. It's not clear if he was aware of the extra layer of hilarity he created by doing a Parisian accent in particular, which is a regular target of satire here in Quebec all on its own, or if he just thought French was French, but either way, the amped-up midnight show crowd went wild in appreciation. Watts's stage set up includes a keyboard, two microphones, and a looping pedal that he uses to construct songs. In addition to making music with them, Watts also uses his instruments as props, turning fiddling with the mic stand and struggling to insert a patch cord into hilarious bits of physical comedy. As a collaborator with LCD Soundsystem and the leader of The Late Late Show house band, Watts has serious chops. His voice is amazing and he can make it do a lot of hilarious things. Over the course of the night the songs he constructed included a Kompakt Records-style deep house track, a baritone-heavy world music choral piece, and a country-tinged song about sex toys. On the keyboard, he composed an extended fusion jazz-tinged piece about Canada, including references to maple leaves, Manitoba, Halifax, the band Memoryhouse, and poutine. In between songs, Watts moved around the stage in character, sometimes a heavily-accented French artist from New York, other times a haughty music professor, or a gruff blues session musician who observes that "people are people." Watts convincingly embodied each of these unique unnamed characters, and he also weaved in thoughts about the Kepler space probe, weed vaporizers, and time travel in his own voice, using a hugely funny and disorienting stream-of-consciousness style. Near the end of his hour-long set at Le Gesù, Watts asked if anyone in the audience remembered Hammy Hamster. After a smattering of applause from the crowd, he described the Canadian children's television program Tales of the Riverbank, which starred live action rodents dressed in costumes. Watts explained that as a child growing up in Montana, he caught the show from the Lethbridge station across the border. After nearly an hour of surreal and absurd comedy there were clearly several people in the audience who thought he was making the whole thing up.

__label__cc	0.573761	0.426239	Zimtu Capital Corp. Options 100% of Its Interest in the Blue Copper-Cobalt Property, Atlin B.C. After Positive Exploration Results VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / December 10, 2018 / Zimtu Capital Corp. (TSXv: ZC; FSE: ZCT1) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that after receiving positive results in the 2018 field season, it has entered into an agreement with Core Assets Corp., a private B.C. company, to option its 100% owned, Blue Copper-Cobalt Property (the "Blue Property") located southwest of Atlin, British Columbia. The initial land position of 1 km² was acquired through a group of local prospectors; thereafter Zimtu Capital acquired an addition land area of 10.3 km² by staking. The Blue Property now consists of two mineral licenses encompassing an area of 11.3 km² located 48 km southwest of Atlin, B.C. The exploration program focused on targeting historically identified copper and cobalt in a magnetite rich rock unit. Map 1. Regional location, Blue Copper-Cobalt Property Sampling Program The program consisted of the collection of 28 rock grab samples: four grab samples from bed rock in the historical "French Adit" sampled every 10-12 meters; six grab samples from the exterior area of the ´French Adit" (rubble from potential mine dump); and two samples from bedrock, 10 meters south of the "French Adit." Eleven samples were taken from bedrock in the area of the historical "North Adit" and five samples were collected from areas of the northernmost extent of the property. All areas of sampling returned very promising assay values. Map 2. Sample locations 1 & 2 Map 3. Sample location 1 Rocks sampled from the "French Adit" area assayed up to 1.56 g/t gold, 43.3 g/t silver and 8.46% copper. Rocks sampled from the "North Adit" area assayed up to 1.57 g/t gold, 46.5 g/t silver and 1.86% copper. Bornite sample in limestone rich magnetite, collected from outside the "French Adit" Cu staining visible south of the "French Adit" Blue Property Historical Exploration The Blue Property has undergone multiple exploration programs over the years, focusing mainly on the Cu-Au-Ag mineralization in skarns. The property has had limited work completed for cobalt. In the early 1950´s an academic thesis completed for the University of British Columbia examined the petrography of the rocks towards the north end of the property. Erythrite and cobaltite were identified and confirmed in thin sections (ARIS 58747). Sampling the north end of the property using an undescribed sampling method reported grades of 0.60% Co over 3 feet. Copper was found at 3.50% and silver at 1 ounce/tonne. Some samples were described to have an erythrite coating on the surface and have cobaltite scattered throughout the magnetite. In 1973 Rio Plata Silver Mines Ltd. commenced diamond drilling on the property yielding 175.0 meters of 0.27% copper from surface, including 27.0 meters of 1.2% Cu approximately 15 meters south of the "French Adit." Cobalt was never assayed for on this hole (ARIS 4996). The historical information is relevant only as an indication that some mineralization occurs on the property, and no resources, reserve or estimate is inferred. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical information as current mineral resources or mineral reserves; and Zimtu is not treating the historical information as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Terms of the Agreement In consideration for the transaction, Core Assets Corp. will pay Zimtu Capital Corp. CAN $100,000 and 3,000,000 common shares as follows: (i) $50,000 & 1,000,000 common shares upon signing; and (ii) $50,000 & 1,000,000 common shares 1 year from signing; and (iii) 1,000,000 common shares 2 years from signing. Zimtu will also retain a 2% NSR with a 50% buyback for CAN $1,000,000. Core Assets Corp. is a private British Columbia company. Samples were collected and processed by the field crew in appropriate sample bags, then tagged and recorded with their unique sample number. Sealed samples were placed in shipping bags which were sealed with electrical tape and dropped off personally to ALS Laboratories in Whitehorse, Yukon for preparation to be analyzed at the main ALS laboratory in North Vancouver, British Columbia. 1000 grams of rock per sample were pulverized to 85% < 75 microns and subjected to Aqua Regia Digestion using conventional ICP-AES, 35 element analysis (ME-ICP41) with ore grade analysis on samples reaching upper detection limits, and 50 g Fire Assay/ICP-AES for gold and platinum group elements (PGM-ICP24). Exploration activities by Zimtu Capital at the Blue Copper-Cobalt Project were conducted under the supervision of Nicholas Rodway, Registered Professional Geologist and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Mr. Rodway has reviewed and approved this news release. About Zimtu Capital Corp. Zimtu Capital is a public investment issuer that invests in, creates and grows natural resource companies.

__label__wiki	0.580721	0.580721	Ximen takes a shot at history, focuses on acquiring the Kenville Gold Mine When the stars align over southern Canada Full size / The Kenville Mine was the first underground lode gold mine in British Columbia and is well known for the nature of its high-grade gold content. Already one of North America’s best performing gold stocks, Ximen Mining Corp. continues to make big headlines as the company today announced its focus on acquiring the past producing Kenville Gold Mine located near Nelson in southern British Columbia, Canada. As recently announced in February, Ximen appointed Dr. Mathew Ball as VP Exploration, who was working to get the Greenwood Mill operational in southern British Columbia – a modern processing facility built in 2007 yet operational for only few months in 2008 due to weak precious metals prices, the global financial crisis and a corresponding lack of financing. When you connect the dots of the Greenwood Mill and the Kenville Gold Mine on a map, the result is a mere distance of around 150 km on Highway #3 and #3A. That’s not a long trucking distance, especially when talking about high-grade quartz vein material with potentially up to an ounce of gold per tonne. When the Kenville Mine ceased operations in the 1950s, a total production of over 2 tonnes of gold (plus silver, lead, zinc, copper and cadmium) was recorded from the processing of 181,395 tonnes. Ximen’s CEO, Chris Anderson, stated in today’s news-release that, “The Kenville Gold Mine has played a major role in the rich history of BC Gold mining. It was the first underground lode gold mines in British Columbia and was once the largest producer in the Nelson Mining Camp. There have been multiple new targets and veins discovered in the last several years and Ximen is looking forward to the potential opportunity that exists ahead.” Historically successful drilling programs by the previous operator between 2007-2010 discovered additional high-grade gold quartz veins striking beyond the historical footprint of the Kenville Mine, confirming potential for new gold mineralization with silver-copper enrichment. By 2010, the Kenville Mine was said to be “in production-ready state”, but the concurrent beginning of a bear market in gold may have put an end to that plan. With gold prices on the rise again, the time could be ripe now for Ximen to write history in one of Canada’s most prolific gold mining districts. About the Kenville Gold Mine According to Ximen’s news today: “The Kenville Gold mine was discovered and staked in 1888 and was the first hard rock gold mine in British Columbia. It was mined intermittently until 1954, with recorded production of 2,029 kilograms of gold, 861 kilograms of silver, 23.5 tonnes of lead, 15 tonnes of zinc, 1.6 tonnes of copper and 37 kilograms of cadmium from 181,395 tonnes processed. The property is located 8 km west of Nelson, BC, is accessible by paved road and is connected to the power grid. Existing infrastructure includes mining equipment, offices, mechanic shop, core storage and accommodation. The mine deposit consists of multiple, gold-silver quartz veins hosted by diorite. Between 2007 and 2008, 13,000 meters of diamond drilling was conducted that targeted previously un-tested areas southwest of the historic mine, and detailed sampling was conducted within the mine on the 257 Level. There are six other historical levels within the mine footprint; only this level was rehabilitated and remains open and accessible. Based on the mine sampling and drill hole information available at the time, new zones of gold mineralization were identified, and mineral resources were estimated (see table below). A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historic estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. As such the issuer, Ximen Mining Corp., is not treating this historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. Ximen considers this historic mineral resource estimate to be relevant and reliable in that it was based upon the results of underground sampling and diamond drill information available at the time. The historic estimate uses the categories of Measured, Indicated and Inferred mineral resources as defined by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. Measured and Indicated Resources are based on projections of mineralized veins exposed on the 257 Level. Inferred Resources in the historical estimate are based on assumed continuity beyond measured and (or) indicated resources. The inferred mineral resources are based on historical drill and assay information verified by underground channel samples collected in 2007/8. The resource tonnages were estimated using an assumed specific gravity. A cut-off grade of 1.1 grams per tonne was used. No allowance for dilution was included based on an anticipated “resue” mining method, which would separate mineralized material from waste rock. Significant diamond drilling was conducted after the above mineral resource estimate was made between 2009 and 2012. At least 4 new veins were identified with potential strike lengths of over 700 metres. The results of this drilling have not yet been reviewed by the Company’s Qualified Person. A complete review of the technical information is required with the aim of completing a new resource estimate that includes the more recent diamond drill results. In addition to the historic gold mine, elsewhere on the property historic soil geochemical surveys and results of scout drilling indicate potential for porphyry-type copper-molybdenum-silver-gold mineralization.” Last week, Ximen announced the acquisition of more than 12,900 hectares of land near Greenwood in southern British Columbia, becoming one of the largest land holders in the mining-friendly Greenwood District besides Kinross Gold Corp., Grizzly Discoveries Inc. and Golden Dawn Minerals Inc. “The claims cover or border several historic past producing mines and mineral occurrences. Included is the Providence mine that operated intermittently from 1893 to 1973”, Ximen noted in the news-release. “A total of 10,426 Metric tonnes of ore was mined, producing 183 kilograms of gold, 42,552 kilograms of silver, 183 tonnes of lead, 118 tonnes of zinc. The Combination mineral showing was also mined, with 11 tonnes yielding 60,340 grams silver and 653 grams of gold. There are a total of eleven known mineral occurrences covered by the mineral claims.” Full size / Map showing Ximen/GGX‘s Gold Drop Property (orange) and Ximen‘s newly acquired claims (red) in proximity to the Greenwood Mill from Golden Dawn Minerals Inc. (TSX.V: GOM) Full size / A golden opportunity: The Greenwood Mill is a modern processing facility with a daily throughput capacity of 212 t/day (72,000 t/year), upgradable to 424 t/day with the addition of a second primary grinding mill and modifications to existing rougher flotation circuit. The mill‘s conventional processing can produce a gold gravity concentrate and copper-gold flotation concentrate, both marketable to smelters for immediate cash-flow. The near-by tailings pond, pictured above in the background, has a permitted capacity of 400,000 t. The newly acquired claims surround Ximen’s Gold Drop Property which is currently under an option agreement to GGX Gold Corp. The Gold Drop Project recently made headlines with record-breaking drill results of “129 g/t gold and 1,154 g/t silver over 7.28 meter core length“, which ranks as the world‘s 7th best drill intercept of 2019. Moreover, these assays showed that tellurium grades have exceeded the upper analytical limits at the lab (i.e. 500 g/t tellurium), which prompted Ximen’s option partner to re-analyze the core for tellurium, also “due to multiple industry inquiries” as Ximen stated. On March 18, the exact tellurium grades were announced with “up to 3,860 g/t tellurium”, including “823 g/t tellurium over 7.28-meter core length” and “640 g/t tellurium over 6.90-meter core length”. Dr. Mathew Ball, P.Geo., VP Exploration for Ximen Mining Corp. and a Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101, approved the technical information contained in those Ximen news-releases. Fortis Metals, the world’s leading producer of minor metals, recently forecasted a tellurium supply deficit that, “as of 2020 could be as big as a staggering 370 metric tonnes.” Noting the rapidly-growing use of tellurium for thin-film solar panels, Fortis stated: “At the moment, we are still seeing (tellurium) inventories in China but these are being eaten away by the two main suppliers of First Solar (the world’s largest thin-film solar manufacturer). It is only a matter of time before the market will understand the new dynamics and prices will start to reflect the growing deficit. We would not be surprised to see prices break the previous record seen in 2011.” Ximen’s option partner has produced some of the highest grade tellurium drill intercepts in the world over the 2018 drill season.

__label__wiki	0.69198	0.69198	← Previews and picks for today’s opening round at the WIAA 3A state fastpitch tournament Fan information for Mount Si softball at WIAA state tournament → Friday news and notes….. Play wrapped up yesterday at the WIAA state high school golf tournaments for the three Valley golfers who made the final round. In the 2A girls’ event in Spanaway, Cedarcrest’s Amanda Fairbanks found things a bit more challenging on day two than on day one Monday, firing a 108 at the Classic Golf Club course. Faribanks, who shot a 99 Wednesday, finished with a total score of 207, good for a tie for 34th. Teammates Bella LaBate and Caitlin Brenner missed the round one cut and did not play in yesterday’s round. Fife’s Kendall Gray eked out a one-stroke win over Bellingham’s Jenn Paul to take the 2A girls’ title. Down south in Ridgefield, Mount Si’s Alex Nelson had a better final round than his opening round Wednesday, carding a 76 at the WIAA’s 3A boys’ state tourney at Tri-Mountain Golf Course. Nelson, who fired an 80 Wednesday, finished in a seven-way tie for 18th with a total score of 156. Fort Vancouver’s Spencer Tibbits held on to beat Juanita’s Frank Garber by one stroke for the title. In nearby Woodland, Wildcat Caitlin Maralack finished off a stellar spring season, firing an 85 to finish alone in seventh at the 3A girls’ state event at Lewis River Golf Course. Maralack, who carded an 80 on Wednesday in the opening round, finished with a total score of 165, well behind state title winner Rachel Fujitani; the golfer from Mercer Island beat out Ingraham’s Sarah Rhee by one stroke to take the trophy. Maralack’s Mount Si teammate Tabitha Dorn missed the cut on Wednesday and did not play in yesterday’s final round. The high school season may be done, but the action on the links will now shift to the summer Washington Junior Golf Association tour, and that gets underway next month. Fairbanks and Maralack will highlight the Valley entries on that tour, with local competitors competing within two different districts. Most are in District 2, which comprises all the major Valley golf courses, such as TPC Snoqualmie Ridge, Mount Si Golf Course in Snoqualmie, where Mount Si’s home course is located, or Blue Heron Golf Course in Carnation, where Cedarcrest plays its home matches. We’ll have coverage of that for you here at the SVSJ. Now to the scoreboard and other news this morning. U18 youth: Taylor 8, Toyota 3-At Courter Field on the Bellevue College campus last night, Taylor rolled to the win over Michael’s Toyota U18 despite a solid effort from an ex-Mount Si High School player. Joe Done went 3-3 with an RBI to pace Michael’s, who also had a 1-2 effort from current Wildcat Colin Brown; he scored a run. Brown also started on the mound, and of the four runs he allowed, just one was earned in his three innings of work. Brown, who will be a senior next spring, gave up just three hits and a walk, but struck out three in the losing decision. Fellow current Mount Si player Miles Schmichick was hitless in two at-bats, but reached base on a hit-by-pitch and scored a run. Mount Si grad recognized for efforts in classroom: Southern Oregon University announced late yesterday that senior women’s distance track and field athlete Alex Rudd, a 2010 Mount Si High School grad from North Bend, had been selected to the College Division Academic All District 4 track and field/cross country team in a vote by sports information directors. Rudd was one of 10 women in the region to make the list, which recognizes athletes who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.3 or better and have also succeeded on the field, which she did this spring, scoring a fifth-place finish this spring at the 10,000 meter race in the Cascade Collegiate Conference championship meet. Rudd will be wrapping up her studies holding a 3.82 grade point average according to the school and will be majoring in communications – perhaps we will see her down the road doing what your editor does best, and that is write, write, write. The team was selected from athletes at schools comprising 14 Western states and Canada, and Rudd was the only local college track and field athlete to make the list. This recognition is not the first time that Rudd has been named to an all-academic list; she has been named to a few of them over her four years, most recently last fall when she was named to the conference’s fall academic all-star list for cross country. We offer Alex our congratulations and wish her well in whatever communications profession she chooses to be a part of.

__label__cc	0.523124	0.476876	Welcome to our Walk In Clinic at your service. Tag: Where Is the Nearest Urgent Care in Cameron County Medical Doctor in Cameron County 3 Ways A 24 Hour Urgent Care Are More Effective Than Hospitals If a sudden illness or an injury strikes, you and your family need to know that when you choose to use a 24 hour medical clinic in Cameron County to treat your injuries, you are making the right choice.

When you visit a clinic your average wait time (door-to-doctor) is much shorter than compared to a hospital-attached ER. A visit to a walk in clinic in Cameron County for example, has a wait time of just fifteen minutes before you are seen by a board certified physician, with access to all emergency resources and the latest facilities. Compare this to the national average of 24 emergency clinics’ wait time of 172 minutes for the “best” in the country. The urgent care facility is clearly more effective. The quality of your physician in Cameron County , and their access to emergency resources should be high on your list of medical priorities, and here, the 24-hour walk-in, beats a hospital ER. Looking at our medical clinic in Cameron County, for instance, the facility offers not only all the services of a traditional ER or clinic, but it does so with top ranked, board certified doctors who are able to successfully administer emergency services, and when needed for long-term care, admit the patient to the hospital of their choice. Urgent care’s also provide rested doctors; most hospital accidents occur when staff have been overworked on long shifts, where the professionals in 24 hour urgent care’s are well staffed and ready to respond to your care. The walk in emergency facility in Cameron County will treat you for common complaints to serious emergencies without any delay in lab results or physician diagnoses. There is no need to wait days or weeks to find out test results from overwhelmed medical labs when a 24 hour medical clinic has those resources on site and available to your doctor right away. Another advantage of the 24 hour medical clinic in Cameron County is the access to the full array of X-Ray, diagnostic CT, and ultrasound scanners to treat every patient from broken bones to complications with pregnancy. For these reasons, 24 hour medical clinics in Cameron County are decidedly more effective for immediate medical care than traditional hospital ERs.

They can commonly provide x-rays, blood examinations, and also various other diagnostic methods. They normally likewise have machines, such as an EKG, to make certain you are doing well inside. In this method, you can have a disease diagnosed, treatment prescribed, as well as have actually any type of inquiries answered during your visit.If you instantly have the influenza, allergies, or just really feel generally ill, you ought to head to the urgent treatment as opposed to waiting on a physician's consultation.

Inspect to make certain your insurance service provider covers the specific place you have an interest in before you go, though you must recognize that many providers do in reality cover treatment from a variety of them. The following time you are not really feeling well or have some emergency that is not deadly, think about taking a journey to the center near you to get rapid treatment. Should You Visit an Urgent Care or Emergency Room? So it's not the 1950s and you do not have an elderly, good-natured doctor available to pay you a house call every time you get the sniffles. You're not alone. What you and many sick and soon-to-be-sick people need is a professional urgent care clinic with your good health in mind. An urgent care clinic is great for those of us without a regular doctor, and who knows, you may just find one that you can visit and revisit. Don't be afraid, there are great options out there. One just needs to know what to look for.Who: First and foremost make sure that you find an urgent care clinic staffed by a good doctor. Believe it or not many clinics are not staffed by doctors, but by what are called nurse practitioners. Nurse practitioners are a fine bunch, they are committed to helping people, but it is more important to find an urgent care clinic staffed by a board-certified doctor. When you are sick you want the best of the best. You want a doctor.What: Find a place that offers a wide array of medical help, not a specialty clinic. Specialty clinics are awesome when you have a specific problem, but when looking for an urgent care clinic you want a general practitioner-in other words, a doctor with a large variety of skills. You want to find a clinic that can handle anything from a basic physical needed for a job to the diagnosis of a major illness. This usually includes a clinic that has or that is affiliated with a laboratory so that blood work and test results can be relied upon for accuracy and speed.Where: This is more important than you may think. When we are healthy we do not think about jumping in the car or on mass transit to travel. When we are ill the last thing we want to do is spend a lot of time getting to the place that will heal us. For this reason, find an urgent care clinic that is located directly near you or better yet, one that is located in the middle of your city of residence. A clinic in the middle of a city is not only of close proximity, but has the added benefit of seeing a variety of patients of all ages and illnesses. This means that their experience is varied; exactly what you want in an urgent care clinic.Remember that when searching for the urgent care clinic that may well become your main source of healthcare that you feel comfortable with them. Even the sound of a person's voice over the phone can be an indicator of a clinic that cares. Good luck in your search and remember that your good health is the most important thing you have.

Yi Actual Harm, Standing, Supreme Court Does a “call placed in violation of the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, without any allegation or showing of injury—even that plaintiffs heard the phone ring—suffice to establish concrete injury for purposes of Article III [of the Constitution?]” Recently, Dish Network petitioned the Supreme Court to resolve this question and overturn a verdict rendered by a North Carolina federal jury that was later trebled to $61 million and upheld by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Briefing on Dish Network’s petition is now complete and we now await the Court’s decision on whether it will review the case. The Eleventh Circuit Holds That Receipt of a Single Text Does Not Satisfy Article III Justin O. Kay and Deanna J. Hayes Actual Harm, Class Certification, Standing, Text Messages The Eleventh Circuit recently held that receiving a single unsolicited text message does not amount to the harm required to sustain a TCPA claim. In Salcedo v. Hanna, John Salcedo brought a TCPA claim against his former attorney after receiving one multimedia text message offering a ten percent discount on future legal services. Salcedo filed suit in district court as the representative of putative class members of former Hanna clients who received similar texts. The district court denied the defendants’ motion to dismiss for lack of standing. In an unusual step, the Eleventh Circuit agreed to hear the case on interlocutory appeal, and reversed the district court’s decision. In so doing, it created a circuit split on Article III standing and a significant hurdle for certifying TCPA class actions in the Eleventh Circuit. FCC Commissioner O’Rielly Addresses ACA International – TCPA Changes Afoot Laura H. Phillips and Anthony D. Glosson Actual Harm, Automatic Telephone Dialing System, Budget Act, O’Rielly May 4, 2017 was Star Wars Day (“May the Fourth . . .”), but it also marked the date of FCC Commissioner Michael O’Rielly’s speech to the ACA International Washington Insights Conference. Commissioner O’Rielly opened with a joke about the number of times ACA had to call him before he had the opportunity to accept its speaking invitation, and then moved on to discuss a number of ways in which he feels the TCPA has been expanded beyond the intended scope of the statute. O’Rielly cited ACA research showing that between 2010 and 2015 there was a 948 percent increase in litigants involved in TCPA-related lawsuits, but noted that “despite this, there is reason for optimism” with the change in FCC leadership. Continue reading » Can 1 Call Or Text Cause Injury Under TCPA? Michael P. Daly, Justin O. Kay and Victoria L. Andrews Abusive Lawsuits, Actual Harm, Class Certification In TCPA Blog’s latest Law360 column, Mike Daly, Justin Kay, and Victoria Andrews examine the differences in courts’ decisions regarding whether the receipt of a single call or text can be considered concrete harm for the purposes of constitutional standing in TCPA actions. The article first discusses state law claims that are routinely dismissed for lack of sufficient injury because the plaintiff alleged receipt of only one fax or text. It then reviews recent TCPA claims that have been dismissed based upon similar reasoning, and compares them against those that have found that any alleged violation of the statute establishes sufficient injury to confer constitutional standing. In doing so, the article addresses why the second line of cases employs faulty reasoning and fails to adhere to Congress’ intent and goals in enacting the TCPA: Continue reading »	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0014.json.gz/line3467
__label__wiki	0.878871	0.878871	Restless haunting EDITORIAL 12/03/2010 Restless haunting Watered down and inconclusive — that was how Hong Kong, its government and citizens included, viewed Noynoy’s recommendations on the Incident Investigation and Review Committee (IIRC) report on the hostage taking bloodbath that cost the lives of eight residents of the territory who were in the country as tourists but instead got into the crossfire of one of the many public servants harboring a grudge against the government. Not expecting justice from Noynoy and a system heavily tainted with political influence, Hong Kong is holding its own investigation into the incident that will spell new trouble for Noynoy. It is expected to be a painful reconstruction of the events of Aug. 23 for Hong Kong, particularly to those who survived the bungled rescue of the local police force, but it is a necessary exercise to put closure on one of the most brutal attacks ever made on a group of Chinese citizens. The mere decision of Hong Kong to reinvestigate is already a huge blackeye for Noynoy. It reinforced perceptions of the crooked judicial system in the country. Included in the recommendations of the IIRC led by Justice Secretary Leila de Lima and created by Noynoy to dig deep into that man-made disaster were criminal sanctions against Interior and Local Government Undersecretary Rico Puno and then Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Jesus Verzosa, who were among the highest officials indicted in the report..... MORE Screwed twice over FRONTLINE Ninez Cacho-Olivares 12/03/2010 Screwed twice over One truly wonders why Congress — both House and the Senate — bothers to spend time and effort to hold budget hearings and make the usual noises threatening to cut this or that item in the budget, when in the end, the two chambers always pass the national budget bill without any cuts at all. The vote was 12 to 2, with only Senators Joker Arroyo and Alan Peter Cayetano giving the nay vote. Since both chambers are wont to pass the budget anyway, as submitted, why bother to hold hearings and go into debates? Why not just pass the bill without any debates and scrutiny, since this will always be passed anyway as is, and with nary a cut? The Senate Wednesday passed the budget bill without cuts, especially keeping the controversial conditional cash transfers (CCT) amounting to a huge P21 billion allotted to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) intact — this despite earlier interpellations of senators to the budget bill sponsor Frank Drilon, bringing up the many difficulties seen in the implementation of the CCT, along with the huge P4 billion allocation for 4,000 new hires of Dinky Soliman..... MORE US looks for ways to prosecute Assange focus 12/03/2010 US looks for ways to prosecute Assange WASHINGTON — Lambasted as a “traitor” and “terrorist” in the United States, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange is facing an all-out effort by US officials and politicians who want him tried and arrested. But experts say the path to prosecution is strewn with potential legal complications, including free speech protections under the First Amendment of the US Constitution. “Right now, believe me, at the Justice Department there are many lawyers that are going through all of potential statutes and trying to figure out which statute is going to be the best one to be able to prosecute him,” said Bruce Zagaris, an expert on international law at Berliner, Corcoran and Rowe. The United States officially opened a criminal investigation after WikiLeaks released tens of thousands of secret documents on US military operations in Afghanistan in July. But now, after being embarrassed by a third massive document dump — this time a quarter of a million US diplomatic cables, many with candid assessments of world leaders — US officials are under intensifying pressure to act.....

I wrote about these young men on Jan. 9, 2000, for yet another broadsheet; the piece is easily accessible in an old computer kept to store bits and pieces of a previously active life, and there I see I’d also taken note what others had felt toward the six, close to 10 years ago. “‘Hardened criminals,’ said a friend who had seen them on national television the day they were adjudged guilty. ‘They didn’t even show remorse.’ “‘But what if they weren’t guilty?’ asked another friend. ‘Why would they look or feel sorry? If at all, they’d feel sorry for themselves.” “‘Were they?’ the first friend countered. ‘They didn’t look it; they were eating, or making faces, or sending text messages out on their cell phones, cell phones which Echagaray didn’t have, or Pablito Andan, when their sentences were read out.’ “‘We’re taking away their future. If they can’t keep their future, why can’t we allow them to wear masks when they want to?’.... MORE Abetting treason and corruption DIE HARD III Herman Tiu Laurel 12/03/2010 Abetting treason and corruption The House finally approved the amnesty bill for the military protestors who are better tagged as “conscientious objectors” rather than “mutineers.” This brings the nation closer to an act that is long overdue: A recognition of the protest actions of the Bagong Katipuneros (a.k.a. Magdalos) led by Sen. Antonio Trillanes IV and Para sa Bayan (PsB) of Gen. Danilo Lim as just and courageous. These soldiers are finally getting the justice they deserve even as the truly guilt-riddled Gloria Arroyo generals such as Reyes, Esperon, Ebdane, Mendoza, Espinosa, et al. remain scot-free for their gang rape of the Constitution in 2001 and their continuing transgressions thereafter, including the 2004 “Hello Garci” episode and their rape of the national coffers by partaking in the feeding frenzy throughout nine-and-a-half years of Arroyo’s misrule. Instead of helping and supporting these conscientious and patriotic soldiers, a mainstream newspaper has joined the ranks of some Joker Arroyo factotums in Congress, i.e. Edcel Lagman and company, to demand an apology as condition for the amnesty. But amnesty, as distinguished from a pardon, has never required an admission of anything. Even as the latter can only be granted after a conviction, the former is unconditional and erases whatever charges there are. Every lawyer worth his salt confirms this — most notably Alan Paguia, who backs up competence with proven integrity. Justice Secretary Leila de Lima, probably the only Cabinet member who enjoys some degree of credibility, has likewise buttressed this position. The fact is, this grant of amnesty, albeit political, is a recognition of the overwhelmingly moral justification for what Sen. Sonny Trillanes, Gen. Danny Lim, and their men did as part of their bounden duty as citizens — and even greater responsibility as “soldiers of the people” — to defend our nation from the treason committed by the corrupt and rapacious usurpers in government. The people had already twice “amnestied” these patriotic soldiers: First in the electoral victory of Senator Trillanes in 2007 and secondly in the most recent elections where Gen. Danilo Lim obtained a sizeable number of votes but obstructed from actual victory by the “Hocus PCOS.” All that was lacking was a formal amnesty by the “institutional” authorities that the military, police and government organizations recognized. The Inquirer, hewing to the line of those factotums, issued an editorial on Nov. 24, 2010, saying: “We wonder if he (Gen. Danilo Lim) is aware of the irony of it all. The protector-of-the-people provision was one of those post-Marcos innovations in the Constitution, designed precisely to prevent the use of the Armed Forces for political or partisan purposes. Lim joined the service at a time when the AFP had been completely corrupted by Marcos, when officer and men, like Lim himself, thought it was only natural for them to take an active part both in government and in business. The new provision was designed to help reorient the thinking of the military, to remove them from the exercise of political power and to demilitarize the political culture. Now, Lim cites this very provision as his justification for attempting to seize political control.” But what supreme irony! The Inquirer conveniently omits the fact that it was that very same provision used by the Edsa II coup plotters to oust a popular and duly-elected president, a historic transgression which that leading Yellow army paper had stoked, supported and reveled at. The leading role of the military generals in the Edsa II coup was openly boasted, as Gloria Arroyo was caught on video acknowledging the generals involved, from Espinosa, Mendoza, to Ebdane and many others, one by one. Then, there’s that infamous statement from Angelo Reyes, confirmed by witnesses, who told the busload of generals he waylaid to the Edsa shrine: “Gentlemen, we are committing treason.” The SYM (Sorry Yellow Movement) confirms all these. Unlike the Yellows and the Arroyo generals, Trillanes and Lim never went against any legitimate government. And in Gloria’s case, her regime was not only an illegitimate government twice over but one that was horrendously corrupt and had gravely impoverished the nation. Trillanes, et al. raised the issue of corruption in the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) that opened a Pandora’s box of cases, including Gen. Carlos Garcia’s multi-hundred million scams. The Magdalos focused our attention on the plight of officers and men who died in the frontlines for lack of communication as well as medical equipment and supplies while higher officers diverted funds to graft and arms to insurgents who could pay for them. The indignation of the idealistic Magdalo and Para sa Bayan soldiers grew even more after the miscarriage of the 2004 elections which Arroyo generals Esperon, et al. stole in broad daylight for their principal. The Inquirer harps that Lim “subverts the fundamental principle of civilian supremacy over the military… effectively trains the guns the people have provided the military, not on enemies of society, but on the people themselves… Not least, it gives unelected men and women like Lim the right to intervene.” Yet the unelected and unelectable elite participated in 2001 with their treasonous and corrupt AFP generals to subvert the will of the people that saw the overwhelming victory of President Joseph Estrada in 1998. In May 2001 at the gates of Malacañang, unarmed Edsa III protesters were fired at in defense of the illegal (and Yellow) Arroyo regime, bloodying and killing dozens. The SYM has already said mea culpas for these. But the Inquirer, instead of showing integrity by apologizing, still attempts to coddle the treasonous and corrupt by perpetuating the lies.

More than a quarter of journey made by the Dutch are on bicycles. But at rush-hour in the morning, between 8 and 9 a.m., that means some 1.75 million are jostling for position on the country’s cycling paths. And even if there are nearly 19,000 kilometers (11,800 miles) of such paths, that is still a lot of bicycles. In fact, in a country of 16.5 million people, there are 18 million bicycles. “More people also means less safe cycle paths,” Frand de Kok of the Dutch Tourism Federation (ANWB) told AFP..... MORE Bonds, ‘haircuts,’ savers and their shirts FEATURE 12/03/2010 Bonds, ‘haircuts,’ savers and their shirts PARIS — The eurozone debt crisis is being played out through the sovereign bond market, an enormous investment sector funded heavily with the savings of ordinary people who may not realize they are financing governments. The eurozone government bond market has been showing signs of rising tension since at least last year when Greece slid toward the rescue lifeboat. The latest violent twists have been driven essentially by a determination mainly from Germany that investors who buy eurozone government debt must share the costs of bailouts. They must no longer count on state rescues ensuring they do not lose their shirts. This change in the rules, made official on Sunday, has heightened long-running concerns that some of the countries with huge public finance problems might eventually be driven to restructure their debt. At Pimco investment fund, chief executive Mohamed El-Erian, said: “My concern is that indecisive management of problems in Greece and Ireland might lead investors to sell sovereign bonds issued by peripheral (eurozone) states as a preventive measure.”....

Rosales and Aytch S. de la Cruz 12/03/2010 Fugitive Sen. Panfilo “Ping” Lacson yesterday remained defiant, saying in a statement sent to media that he will surface “only when justice is rightly served, or when (he) is already dead.” To the authorities, he had this to say: “Don’t look for me. Look at the evidence. It’s right under your nose. It won’t cost you two centavos to fulfill your duty to provide justice to all concerned. “I will only come out when justice is rightly served, or when I’m already dead. It may not be the best way to spend geezerhood, but unless you get me ahead of my time, I prefer to suffer in pain but with dignity, sitting alone with my conscience for the rest of my life, rather than do time in jail for a crime I did not commit.” President Aquino reportedly told reporters from a broadsheet that arresting Lacson is not his priority, giving rise to speculation that the Palace is coddling Lacson who is his supporter and close political ally. Justice Secretary Leila de Lima, for her part, called on the senator murder suspect to have faith in the law and come in from the cold even as she said the Department of Justice (DoJ) cannot act on Lacson’s plea for investigation which is not legally feasible at this point..... MORE GMA seen as eyeing gymnastics, POC post as safe haven By Aldrin Cardona Sports Editor 12/03/2010 GMA seen as eyeing gymnastics, POC post as safe haven By Aldrin Cardona Sports Editor 12/03/2010 The buzz is that Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo— yes, the former president who is now Pampanga’s representative in Congress, is allegedly buying her way into sports. What’s no longer just a buzz was her P500,000 “donation” to the Gymnastics Association of the Philippines (GAP), which will hold its General Assembly on Sunday, but with its acting president, Cynthia Carreon, allegedly bypassing her own board to push Arroyo’s election by acclamation as GAP president. The GAP would then become Arroyo’s ticket to the Philippine Olympic Committee (POC) presidency, which her brother, Art Macapagal, missed when he lost the POC presidential election of 2008 to Jose “Peping” Cojuangco, it was claimed by a Tribune source. And so, sports will soon be transformed into a battleground among these Pampangos, who have not only have locked national politics among themselves, but the sporting arena as well. A member of the GAP board confirmed Arroyo’s “donation” to the group, but questioned its timing, quipping: “Why should she give now, when we have been asking for financial support long before when she was still the president?”.... MORE Appropriations Act of 2011 labeled as ‘stagnation budget’ By Angie M. Rosales 12/03/2010 Appropriations Act of 2011 labeled as ‘stagnation budget’ While Malacañang patted the backs of its allies in the Senate for approving the P1.645-trillion national budget almost intact and promptly, op-position sena-tors described the govern-ment appro-priations next year as a “stag-nation budget” which greatly scrimped on basic services. The appa-rent skewed priorities of the very first general appropriations bill under the Aquino administration may not sit well with the rest of the Filipino people, Sen. Pia Cayetano said. “It is unfortunate that the very first budget that looms to be approved under this new administration will be remembered by Filipinos for scrimping on allocations for public tertiary education and hospitals, as well as for agriculture and vital public infrastructure,” said Cayetano, who voted against the budget measure on third reading, along with minority leader Sen. Alan Peter Cayetano. She also expressed serious reservations about allocating a huge chunk of taxpayers’ money to the controversial conditional cash transfer (CCT) program of the five-month-old Aquino administration. “Although I support the concept of a subsidy program for the poor, the P21 billion alloted to the CCT is too large an amount to invest in an untested program,” she said.....

Deputy presidential spokes-man Abigail Valte said they would rather wait until the Hong Kong government releases its own findings from the separate investigation it would be taking but Malacañang is standing by its legal team’s conclusions. “It would be difficult to speculate on that matter because, as I understand, the inquest is just beginning. It would be better to wait for the results. But, again, we are confident with the results of our investigation and we will stand by it,” Valte told reporters. The Palace official informed reporters that the Hong Kong authorities have so far not indicated any intention to seek any form of assistance or cooperative efforts from the Philippine government as they go about their public inquest.... MORE Rebel officer rejects amnesty to prove innocence in AFP court By Mario J.

Through his counsel, lawyer Trixie Angeles, Army Maj. Jason Aquino, the first captain or baron of the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) Class of 1991, stressed that he will prove his innocence through acquittal from a military general court martial. “He will not avail himself of the amnesty,” Angeles said of Aquino, who served as the operations officer of the Army’s elite First Scout Ranger Regiment under Brig. Gen. Danilo Lim, who is expected to avail of the amnesty. Aquino was among the 29 Marine and Ranger officers charged with the February 2006 alleged plot to overthrow the Arroyo administration. “There is no evidence against him…on the merits of the case alone, we can go for an acquittal…we are sure of our case,” said Angeles..... MORE Iran invites Aquino for state visit 12/03/2010 Iran invites Aquino for state visit The government of Iran has extended its invitation to President Aquino for a state visit, the Department of Foreign Affairs yesterday said. This was conveyed by Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki at a meeting with Foreign Affairs Undersecretary Rafael Seguis in Tehran this week. Mottaki also invited DFA Secretary Alberto Romulo for a visit. Former President Fidel V. Ramos was the last Philippine leader to make a state visit to Iran in March 1995. It was followed by a reciprocal visit by then Iranian President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani in October 1995. Iran has actively supported the Philippine initiative of interfaith dialog in international forums for sustainable peace. It has also voiced strong support for the country’s inclusion as observer to the 57-member Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) even as the Muslim bloc has thumbed down Manila’s bid for the seat several times in the past..... MORE RH bill unconstitutional — Tatad By Gerry Baldo 12/03/2010 RH bill unconstitutional — Tatad The Reproductive Health (RH) bill, now being pursued by its advocates in the House of Representatives, is unconstitutional as it goes against the fundamental rights of the family to be free from state regulation, former Sen. Francisco Tatad said yesterday. Tatad, who was one of the panellists at the weekly Usaping Balita news forum at the Serye Restaurant in Quezon City, stressed that the Philippine government does not have the power to tell married couples what to do or what not to do with their family. “The state does not have the authority or power to tell married couples what to do before, during or after sexual intercourse. That happens only in totalitarian states,” Tatad said. “If Congress cannot pass any law ‘abridging the freedom of speech, of expression, or of the press, or the right of the people to peaceably assemble and petition the government for redress of grievances,’ neither can Congress pass a law abridging the God-given right and duty of married couples to perform the marital act without intervention of the State or any third party,” he explained.....

Koko Pimentel had earlier filed a Manifestation with Motion for the Disqualification of Senators Angara, Legarda, and Lapid from further sitting as members of the SET on June 24, 2010. However, after the SET was reorganized in July 2010, Senators Angara, Legarda, and Lapid returned to the SET and continued to participate in the decision-making processes of this Tribunal. “It is with some pain in the heart—considering that he had been a colleague of the undersigned counsel in the Senate for some time— that Senator Angara should be reminded of the officially-tallied results for the Province of Maguindanao in the 2007 national and local elections,” Pimentel said.....

__label__wiki	0.920489	0.920489	Fearing the HK inquest EDITORIAL 02/15/2011 Fearing the HK inquest Hong Kong’s Coroner’s Court opened yesterday its inquest on the Manila hostage tragedy that killed eight of its residents. What will be obvious in that inquest would be the total absence of Filipino officials and officers who snubbed the Hong Kong invitation to testify before this court, that, among others would seek whether the Hong Kong victims were killed by friendly fire, or by the hand of the hostage-taker. The odds, however, are that the court in conducting the inquest, would delve into the whys and wherefores of the botched hostage crisis, which may just prove embarrassing to the Noynoy government and his officials and police officers. But then too, in digging deeper, Hong Kong may just uphold the Incident Investigation and Review Committee’s first report, but may seek answers on why no one was being held accountable by Noynoy after the IIRC report was watered down by his legal counsels after a review. A recent Hong Kong radio report said that the survivors and relatives of the victims are likely to form the bulk of the witnesses who are to testify in court, since Filipino officials and police officers who were invited to testify before the coroner’s inquest have snubbed the invitation..... MORE Unchartered Egyptian waters FRONTLINE Ninez Cacho-Olivares 02/15/2011 Unchartered Egyptian waters Egypt’s revolt that lasted 18 days ended with the Egyptian military taking control of the so-called transition government, which only cements the fact that no “people power” revolt can succeed without the military going over to the people’s side. Yet the Yellows refuse to admit that the 1986 Edsa revolt largely succeeded in toppling the Marcos regime because, in the end, the military supported the people, with Marcos losing control of his military. The Yellows, to this day, even refuse to credit Johnny Ponce-Enrile for serving as trigger in the Edsa revolt. Yet it was because of Enrile’s position to hand over power to Cory Aquino, instead of taking power for himself and his rebel soldiers that civilian rule came into being again. The Edsa rebels could have taken power easily. They were very popular then, and they had the arms. Few, if at all, would have crabbed if they took power and installed a transition government for say, four to six months, after which general elections would have been held..... MORE What’s a senator to do? NO HOLDS BARRED Armida Siguion-Reyna 02/15/2011 What’s a senator to do? Soon after the news of Angelo Reyes’ death hit media came the blame game, a timely indicator of who standing on what side of the political divide, with some perhaps simply caught in-between. Never mind the uninformed, who forward the most improbable of theories, like, “What if the exposé is not ‘in aid of legislation’ but actually an act of treason to bring down these two institutions (the Armed Forces of the Philippines and the Philippine Military Academy) and destroy democracy?” Never mind the illogical as well, like, “What’s all the fuss now to give this man a hero’s burial? Incongruous? No, it is overwhelming guilt for maligning a person so casually ‘in aid of legislation!’” To the first statement we merely apply an old Filipino saying, “Ang nagsasabi ng tapat, nagsasama ng maluwat.” We allow the truth about all goings-on in the AFP to come out in order to ensure that such does not happen again, and we’re actually moving to have them guys in uniform around for much longer than they actually deserve. Notice I’m not lumping the AFP and the PMA together, for as most PMA graduates aver, including whistle-blower Lt. Col. George Rabusa, in the PMA one is trained toward being an “officer and a gentleman” over and over again. The phrase is planted in the plebe’s mind from the first day he dons his cadet’s gray uniform, all the way to when he graduates. The temptation is when he joins the AFP..... MORE Meddling in Latin America AN OUTSIDERS VIEW Ken Fuller 02/15/2011 Meddling in Latin America President Barack Obama rarely fails to disappoint. Such disappointment is not confined to domestic policy where, even before the Republican victory in the congressional elections last year, he was moving steadily to the right. On the international front, there were hopes of a clean break with the past. Remember his inaugural speech? “To those who cling to power through corruption and deceit and the silencing of dissent, know that you are on the wrong side of history, but that we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist.” This gave the impression that, more that just a new administration, Obama’s arrival in Washington would usher in a new era in foreign relations in which the USA would cast off its previous practice of supporting those who trampled on human rights. We now see, as Washington was quite comfortable with the vice presidency of Egypt being occupied by Omar Suleiman, a man whose fist has for years been clenched in the service of the USA as his intelligence department has tortured suspects “rendered” into his hands by the CIA, that the fine words were worthless..... MORE US ponders future of military ties with Egypt focus 02/15/2011 US ponders future of military ties with Egypt WASHINGTON — With the fall of Hosni Mubarak’s regime, the United States holds sway over Egypt’s political future thanks to its strong ties with a military it helped build over three decades, experts said. Egypt watchers said the massive $1.3-billion annual US military aid package to the country has largely paid off over the years — yielding cooperation on counterterrorism, the Middle East peace process and safe passage through the Suez Canal. Many warned against bowing to calls for freezing the US funds. “There are tremendous risks,” said Andrew Exum of the Center for a New American Security. “At the very least, you need to keep military to military exchanges and contacts because you never know how valuable those relationships might be in the future.”.... MORE Valentine’s Day: Desecrating the sacred VIEWPOINTS Archbishop Oscar V. Cruz 02/15/2011 Valentine’s Day: Desecrating the sacred Instead of celebrating it as something noble and sacred; instead of fomenting the exalted intention and exalting spirit that launched the “Day,” it is sad to know that there are certain individuals and organized groups apparently bent on making it but carnal in nature and egoistic in context. And this is exactly the case of associating Valentine’s Day with condoms — whether they are given away free or sold at half their price. Thus it is that the “Day” becomes associated with but sex, contraception and motels. The objective reality is exactly the opposite: Valentine’s Day is the affirmation of human love, the distinction of the affection reigning between a man and a woman. And rightly so. Even those people, who are avidly pro-contraception and/or pro-abortion, precisely came to life because of the consummate conjugal love between their fathers and mothers. In fact, anyone who is anti-life can only be such because of the life they already have through their parents.....

Rosales 02/15/2011 Nothing, or so it appears, is a priority for President Aquino, as he yesterday told the media that even as he already has an idea of the identity of the “powerful person” behind retired military comptroller, discharged Maj. Gen. Carlos Garcia, going after that powerful person is not his priority. He said there are much too many cases going on, and “it has gotten to a point that you really have to choose (which one to focus on and file the case.” “We’re in the stage where we are collating not just on this issue but on so many issues. It has come to the point where you really have to choose (which one) in the face of so many cases to be filed. It’s like the resources of the administration are being diluted, which means the personnel, the people who are responsible — if we have to have to focus on all the cases simultaneously,” Aquino said, by way of explaining why filing a case against the Garcia protectors cannot be his priority. In many instances where sensitive issues crop up, Aquino always claims that such issues are not his priority, Aquino always claims that such issues are not his priority, and has admitted that he can’t only focus on one issue at a time..... MORE Prosecutors: Garcia deal a ‘judgment call’ By Arlie O. Calalo 02/15/2011 Prosecutors: Garcia deal a ‘judgment call’ By Arlie O. Calalo 02/15/2011 State prosecutors who entered into a plea bargain with former Armed Forces comptroller Maj. Gen. Carlos Garcia that reduced his plunder case to direct bribery, which is a bailable offense, maintained the agreement with Garcia was a judgment call and that Sen. Franklin Drilon’s statement they all can be hauled to court for gross negligence was not a “proper approach to the problem.” Standing pat on the propriety of the plea bargain agreement entered into with Garcia, Assistant Ombudsman Jose Tereso de Jesus Jr. also said the Office of the Special Prosecutor had submitted a manifestation before the Sandiganbayan to hold its ruling on the plea bargain deal in abeyance following revelations by ex-public auditor Heidi Mendoza and ret. Col. George Rabusa during the hearings called by both upper and lower chambers “in aid of legislation.” “For the good senator to press suit against our prosecutors for their judgment call he only happens to hold a contrary opinion, even before the Senate and the House of Representatives can craft the needed legislation, which is supposedly the avowed purpose of their separate hearings on the matter, may not be the proper approach to the problem,” De Jesus said. He stressed that a manifestation has been submitted before the anti-graft court to give the prosecutors time to find any such material and relevant evidence which would be sufficient for them to change their stand on the issue, if ever,..... MORE AFP: UN RP contingents’ accomplishments the issue, not aging equipment By Mario J. Mallari 02/15/2011 AFP: UN RP contingents’ accomplishments the issue, not aging equipment The Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) yesterday maintained that despite “aging” equipment being deployed with its peacekeeping troops to United Nations missions in various parts of the world, Filipino contingents have performed very well and above expectations. AFP spokesman Brig. Gen. Jose Mabanta Jr., however, downplayed Tribune reports of sending dilapidated AFP equipment to UN missions abroad but admitted that AFP equipment could be “aging.” “That is the real state of the AFP, but that is not the issue here, the real issue is that — are we capable of attaining the mission? Have we accomplished the missions? Did we perform credibly in the tasks given by the UN? Looking at our records, we did perform very well,” declared Mabanta.

Hepatocellular adenomas associated with anabolic androgenic steroid abuse in bodybuilders: a report f two cases and a review of the literature. Relatively few studies have been done to investigate the effect of anabolic steroids on the cardiovascular system. Since the making of the steroid testosterone, around the 1930s, the doctors have been making the use of anabolic steroids for many purposes; not just in the countries where steroids are legal, but all over the globe! The nightshade vegetables are of particular interest, since joint pain seems to improve in a good percentage of people who cut them out. Some people who use steroids over a long period of time develop a liver condition known as Peliosis hepatis In simple English, this means there are blood filled cysts and tumors that form in the liver. Research shows that pairing black pepper extract with curcumin increases bioavailability twentyfold And when you do that, curcumin becomes an effective joint support supplement. When questions arise regarding the use of anabolic steroids, turn to the Experts that can answer these questions and more. Although these products have different labeled uses, they are very similar in action and side effects and may be used interchangeably, subject to differences in route of administration and duration of action. Most individuals on their first cycles are not able to reach their potential because they are not sure about what they want and how to go about it. Dianabol produces a highly active Anabolic environment and boosts Nitrogen loyalty in muscular tissue cells order masterone 100 300mg/ml visa, which permits boosted healthy protein synthesis and instant Toughness and Dimension. The illegal steroids for bodybuilding for sale are hawked from dubious sources: when you buy those steroids, you do not have any guarantee that it will work because there is no information when it comes to the ingredients. Derived from testosterone, the FDA has experienced Winstrol V as both an emotional side effect of anabolic steroid by female athletes quizlet and injectable steroid for human use. Anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) are hormones derived from cholesterol metabolization and chemically similar to testosterone. Anabolic anabolic steroids in the United States (or any kind of country with similar laws prohibiting the acquisition buy masterone 100 300/ml mg with visa, belongings, or usage) are just legally readily available for sale via a prescribed offered through a licensed physician (a physician). If you hang around a gym long enough, then chances are, some dude is gonna mention steroids. Anabolic steroids have been reported also to cause other behavioral effects, including euphoria, increased energy, sexual arousal, mood swings, distractibility, forgetfulness, and confusion. In some cases, the off-label use of anabolic steroids might fall into a category of a desirable positive effect that an individual might be looking to use them for. Sep 26, 2016 anabolic steroids, for example, are a form of synthetic testosterone. Depression is often seen when the drugs are stopped and may contribute to a dependence on anabolic steroids. Given the role of numerous minerals in bone and joint health, a good multimineral supplement is a good basic intervention. The bottom line is that steroids can really affect male fertility , especially sperm count.

With regard to anabolics linking to testicular cancer, that is another myth since no studies have ever showed any sort of connection. Other proper precautions include cycle lengths that are as short as possible (approximately 4 weeks for females), and sensible doses. Jeremy has reduced the frequency of his cycles over the past two years, but still uses steroids. While the adverse effects of AAS on the reproductive, cardiovascular, and hepatic systems are well documented ( 7 ), the influence of this class of drugs on connective tissue remains underinvestigated.

If women have hot flashes after menopause and are treated with estrogen, this will also help preserve bone density. Dianabol is an approved Anabolic Steroids that has very comparable attributes to methandrostenolone. Due its great anabolic effects, these drugs are being used on a large scale, for the improvement of sports performance. We are always actively discussing steroids and supplements, including testosterone and HGH boosters. The 33-year-old woman, charged with drug possession and supply of the anabolic steroids, had signed on to be a major sponsor of a 10-week bodybuilding program geared toward at-risk youth in Toowoomba. Also in anabolic steroids this has been carried out at C2, next to the carbonyl group at C3. If a woman stops menstruating , a condition called amenhorrea, it may indicate infertility-another potential side effect of steroid use according to the United States Department of Justice. Females using AS may develop masculine facial traits, male muscularity, and coarsening of the skin. Yes, most anabolic steroids can help you to gain substantial muscle mass, but they can also be great energy boosters to help you achieve more lifts without as much exertion.

Anabolic-androgenic steroids produce dose-dependant increase in left ventricular mass in power athletes, and this effect is potentiated by concomitant use of growth hormone. The 80 anabolic steroids in this chapter are divided in smaller groups, to make the discussion easier. Palmeiro was not the first high-profile baseball player to get caught using steroids. It shows the anabolic effect of injected sc and orally administered trenbolone oral. Some people who use steroids over a long period of time develop a liver condition known as Peliosis hepatis In simple English, this means there are blood filled cysts and tumors that form in the liver.

Express 27, 32308-32322 (2019) Fano resonance Thin film solar cells Manuscript Accepted: September 28, 2019 Perovskite solar cells have shown a tremendous interest for photovoltaics since the past decade. However, little is known on the influence of light management using photonic crystals inside such structures. We present here numerical simulations showing the effect of photonic crystal structuring on the integrated quantum efficiency of perovskite solar cells. The photo-active layer is made of an opal-like perovskite structure (monolayer, bilayer or trilayer of perovskite spheres) built in a $TiO_2$ matrix. Fano resonances are exploited in order to enhance the absorption, especially near the bandgap of perovskite material. The excitation of quasi-guided modes inside the absorbing spheres enhances the integrated quantum efficiency and the photonic enhancement factor. More specifically, a photonic enhancement factor as high as $6.4\%$ is predicted in the case of spheres monolayer compared to an unstructured perovskite layer. The influences of sphere’s radius and incident angle on the absorbing properties are also estimated. Those numerical results can be applied to the nascent field of photonic structuring inside perovskite solar cells.

__label__wiki	0.621003	0.621003	Sory Kandia Kouyaté ‘La voix de la révolution’ 2CD (Sterns) 5/5 14th March 2012 ukvibe Guinean singer-songwriter Sory Kandia Kouyaté tragically died at the relatively early age of forty-four, but still managed to pack some glorious recordings into his career and is rightly venerated, not only in his native country, but throughout West Africa and beyond. This terrific and extremely cohesive selection neatly divides his career up into two parts for the neophyte with CD one devoted to the more immediately accessible and shorter in length larger ensemble recordings while the second CD focuses on the more extended and traditional pared down sides that Kouyaté laid down between 1970 and 1973. As with other newly independent nations, the quest for authenticity reached into the musical sphere and in Guinea artists such as Kouyaté were openly encouraged to flourish. Between the ages of eight and ten, Kandia had joined the royal court of Mamou where he quickly gained a reputation for possessing a stunning voice and by the age of nineteen the singer had developed a fully matured mezzo-soprano voice. It is precisely the very dynamism of this voice that comes across to such wonderful effect on these recordings and sets the singer apart from his other contemporaries. From the first CD, the gently lilting groove of ‘N’na’ with some gorgeous laid back saxophone playing is one of several highlights and in general the musical accompaniment, percussion especially, makes this a very special listening pleasure. Sterns are to be commended for selecting numerous songs from two key album volumes entitled ‘L’Epopée du Mandingué that date from 1973. The second CD in contrast requires repeated listens and in small doses to begin to fully digest the undiluted sound on offer, yet more seasoned listeners will appreciate the virtuosity displayed on numbers such as ‘Siiba’ while the heartrendering twelve and a half minute take on ‘Douga’ is a fine way to open the more intimate side to Kouyaté’s work. Equally of interest are the significantly shorter pieces that date from 1961 with ‘Toubaka’ and ‘Nina’ outstanding examples of the singer’s earliest songs. As ever with Sterns classic re-issues, the inner sleeve is both lavish and colourful with original photos of the artist and album covers from the period with, in addition, informative bi-lingual notes on Kouyaté’s glittering career.

__label__cc	0.606162	0.393838	The Art Gallery of York University We have a new website. Come over and see: http://agyu.art/ The middle of every narrative represents a moment of uncertainty before an arrival or change. Most artists and curators understand well that this is a productive process—and purgatory. This is because arrival and change are also ruptures. So, what if one used this time-before-the-arrival to shape the change-about-to-happen? “All the way out there?” Today I rode the newly opened York University subway extension to the front doors of the AGYU! The “how” is such a big part of the arriving. And … we certainly have arrived. Importantly, ruptures are about difference. Since 2005, our Out There slogan has been a cheeky response to our location. Soon, it became a vision and then, quickly, an operative concept. Extending itself constantly, it became a transformative concept: that is, a concept of difference that in differing from itself constantly evolved and transformed, moving us further “out there” in the process. The institution itself is a “concept” or a project, we decided, and as such is subject as well to transformation, while being an agent of it. With our fall 2017 exhibition Migrating the Margins as a kind of culminating manifesto, we move into 2018 in a dance with uncertainty and change: from Out There to The Beyond, Beyond, perhaps. It is not by accident that this year is propelled by concepts of movement and migration. Our 2018 programming year is woven together by artists whose work engages real borders, thresholds, and (aesthetic) frontiers to consecrate and liberate our positions and perspectives-in-relation to each other and to the world. In fact, borders and thresholds are concepts necessary to thinking through The Beyond, Beyond. So is migration, survival, and connections to place—be that land or locality. The artists presented in our 2018 program crisscross the Americas: from the USA with Postcommodity to Brazil with Bárbara Wagner & Benjamin de Búrca, to Mexico with Betsabeé Romero. And, in-between, we conduct research and stage actions that intentionally inhabit the civic spaces that surround the gallery, opening our city to new kinds of possibilities for movement and agency, not to mention diasporic performativity. There are consequences to every encounter, no less so for the relationship of artists to art institutions. If we have learned anything from the artists we are hosting then it is a kind of circular nomadism: a movement and change full of detours, interludes, and delays; a multiplicity inspired almost entirely by the “toute monde” of the Americas. As Martiniquan poet Éduoard Glissant reminds us: the Americas makes the multiplicities of the world comprehensible. It is these multiplicities we follow this year. While we cannot move borders, we certainly can try to make them more permeable. We welcome you unconditionally to the new AGYU, knowing full well that with this welcoming comes unexpected consequences. For isn’t hospitality, in fact, also a kind of borderline activity? One never knows what will come next, certainly not in these times of uncertainty. Can uncertain times mean new kinds of arrivals, new sorts of ruptures? As we embark on this new chapter at AGYU, we wonder. –Emelie Chhangur, Interim Director/Curator The Art Gallery of York University respectfully acknowledges our presence on the traditional territory of Indigenous Nations including the Wendat, Haudenosaunee (Iroquois), and Anishinaabe, and that this territory is the subject of the Dish With One Spoon Covenant and Wampum between the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, the Three Fires Confederacy (the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Pottawatomie), and allied nations to peaceably share and care for the resources in and around the Great Lakes. The Three Fire Confederacy includes the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation, who settled in what is now the City of Toronto. In 1805, the Mississaugas agreed to the sale of tracts of land known as Crown Treaty No. 13 (also referred to as the Toronto Purchase), although the payment for the land was not concluded until 2010. As a result of the Toronto Purchase, the protection and management of the land is now shared with the present generation of inhabitants of Toronto and, as Métis Elder Duke Redbird reminds us, “remembering always that we never own the land but rather borrow its use from our children.” In 2011, the Mississaugas of the New Credit First Nation presented the AGYU with an Eagle Feather to acknowledge our continued relationship, built through collaboration beginning in 2009 and which has resulted in two projects, The Awakening in 2011 and Ring of Fire in 2015. We have installed this Eagle Feather permanently in the AGYU lobby as a visual reminder of our friendship, respect, and trust within this relationship. In acknowledging that York University occupies colonized Indigenous territories, and out of respect for the rights of Indigenous people, we accept our collective responsibility to recognize our colonial histories as well as their present-day manifestations and to honour, protect, and sustain this land. AGYU promotes LGBTQ2+ positive spaces and experiences and is barrier-free. All events out there are free of charge and open to everyone.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0014.json.gz/line3496

__label__wiki	0.826926	0.826926	Quran - Surah Al-Baiyina - Maududi's Translation, Commentary and Summary Surah Al-Baiyina Maududi's Commentry (Tafseer) on Surah Al-Baiyina Madina (100) Total Ayat: 8 The Surah is so designated after the word al-bayyinah occurring at theend of the first verse. Where it was revealed, at Makkah or Madinah, is also disputed. Somecommentators say it is a Makki revelation according to most scholars;others say it is a Madani revelation according to most scholars. IbnAz Zubair and Ata bin Yasar hold the view that it is Madani. Ibn Abbasand Qatadah are reported to have held two views, first that it isMakki, second that it is Madani. Hadrat Aishah regards it as a MakkiSurah. Abu Hayyan, author of Bahr al-Muhit, and Abdul Munim ibn al-Faras, author of Ahkam al-Quran, also have preferred to regard it asMakki. As for its contents, there is nothing in it to indicate whetherit was revealed at Makkah or at Madinah. Its having been placed after Surahs Al-Alaq and Al-Qadr in thearrangement of the Quran is very meaningful. Surah Al-Alaq contains thevery first revelation, while Surah Al-Qadr shows as to when it wasrevealed, and in this Surah it has been explained why it was necessaryto send a Messenger along with this Holy Book. First of all the needof sending a Messenger has been explained, saying: The people of theworld, be they from among the followers of the earlier scriptures orfrom among the idolaters, could not possibly be freed from their stateof unbelief, until a Messenger was sent whose appearance by itselfshould be a clear proof of his apostleship, and he should present theBook of God before the people in its original, pristine form, whichshould be free from every mixture of falsehood corrupting the earlierDivine Books; and which should comprise sound teachings. Then, aboutthe errors of the followers of the earlier Books it has been said thatthe cause of their straying into different creeds was not that Allahhad not provided any guidance to them, but they strayed only after aclear statement of the Right Creed had come to them. From this itautomatically follows that they themselves were responsible for theirerror and deviation. Now, if even after the coming of the clearstatement through this Messenger, they continued to stray, theirresponsibility would further increase. In this very connection, it hasbeen stated that the Prophets who came from Allah and the, Books sentdown by Him, did not enjoin anything but that the way of sincere andtrue service to Allah be adopted, apart from all other ways, no oneelse's worship, service or obedience be mixed with His, the salat beestablished and the zakat be paid. This same has been the true religionsince ever. From this also it automatically follows that the followersof the earlier scriptures, straying from this true religion, haveadded extraneous things to it, which are false, and Allah's thisMessenger has come to invite them back to, the same original faith. Inconclusion, it has been pointed out clearly that the followers of theearlier Books and the idolaters who would refuse to acknowledge thisMessenger are the worst of creatures: their punishment is aneverlasting Hell; and the people who would believe and act righteously,and would spend life in the world in awe of God, are the best ofcreatures: their reward is eternal Paradise wherein they will live forever. Allah became well pleased with them and they became well pleasedwith Allah. Maududi's Tafseer on Surah Al-Baiyina Al-Baiyina Tafseer (E.H. Palmer)	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0014.json.gz/line3500
__label__cc	0.597292	0.402708	Published: 14 July 2019 \| by OEAS $25 million Claim Made Against Canadian Government for Cameroon Treaty Violations Ottawa: Dr. Ebenezer Akwanga and the African People’s Liberation Movement (formerly the Southern Cameroons Youth League) have filed a Notice of Intent under the Agreement Between Canada and the Republic of Cameroun for the Promotion and Protection of Investments. The Canadian Global Affairs Ministry, Trade Policy Division, acknowledged its receipt on July 2, 2019 triggering a mandatory 60 day consultation period. Dr Akwanga has alleged Canada has violated international law by entering into a conspiracy with the Government of Cameroun to deny Ambazonia’s right to economic self-determination guaranteed under the The African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights. The highly detailed Notice names numerous parties including the former Camerounian High Commissioner to Canada, Philemon Yang, and Addax Petroleum. The parties involved are alleged to have entered into agreements to make neocolonial and racist allegations that Ambazonia was the corrupt product of white men and as an entity was false and fictitious. The allegations are being played out in a Calgary, Canada Tribunal chaired by an attorney formerly associated with Addax Petroleum; Dr. Akwanga hopes to stop this plot and libel against the Ambazonian people and force a monetary settlement to be used for Ambazonia’s self-determination struggle. The same Alberta proceeding is also the subject of a NAFTA claim and Charter concerns over the results of a potentially rigged Alberta Securities Commission proceeding being used to obtain in absentia death penalties in Cameroun against backers of the Ambazonians in Canada and the United States. A team of international lawyers including Cameroonian barrister Martin Tumasang are advising Dr. Akwanga. The OEAS of which Ambazonia is a founding members, strongly condemns the government of Canada which even while offering its services as an honest broker, at the same time is persecuting Ambazonians in concert with the Cameroun government of Paul Biya. OEAS calls for a full investigation of the allegations involved.

__label__wiki	0.857707	0.857707	Published: 14 January 2015 \| by Mbonisi Gumbo Mthwakazi Republic Party is reliably informed that the just ended Africa Under 20 Region 5 Youth Games that started on the 4th and ended on the 14th of December 2014 were used as a looting platform of public funds. The ministry of sports officials are alleged to have illegally benefited from the funds meant to make sure that these games became a success. Most of the infrastructure meant to be built in Bulawayo fell short of internationally accepted standards. Some of the facilities that were built or repaired in Bulawayo have not been completed to date. Officials claim that they were inadequately funded but our investigations as a party revealed that corruption played centre stage in this whole fiasco. We have been made aware as a party that the Ministry of Sports officials continue to interfere with the work of a Local organising Committee (LOC) which is still operational up to this day for their own personal benefits. The government gazetted travel and subsistence allowance claims for civil servants popularly known as “T and S” in the public service, which is pegged at $55-00 per person per day. We have been made aware that top officials in the Ministry of Sports have been awarding themselves allowances meant for Bulawayo civil servants up $150.00 per person per day. It has been revealed to the party that most of the top officials engaged in this form of corruption are based in Harare and not Bulawayo and were not meant to receive these “T and S” claims meant for Bulawayo civil servants. We have been made aware that these officials were staying at the Polytech for free and received free meals as well at the expense of hard-working local Bulawayo civil servants. Our members of the party and uMthwakazi community in general who participated in different capacities, have not received any pay to date while their Harare counterparts were paid their T and S allowances in full before Christmas ranging from $200 to $18 000. As if that is not enough, we have been made aware that the local Secretariat worked as late as 01:00 am during the games. We are informed that $2.5 million was released for allowances just before Christmas. We are informed this money was looted to the extent that even the CEO of the Bulawayo Secretariat, was not paid. Mthwakazi Republic Party has been supplied with a lot of other corruption cases that happened during the games and is in possession of his information. MRP strongly condemns this corruption and calls for an investigation of the officials involved in this scandal. Zimbabwe has become an empty basket of Africa due to corruption, nepotism, tribalism, regionalism and the Zanu PF's Grand plan that seeks to continue to hold uMthwakazi people bondage. As a party we believe that the solution of these problems facing the people of uMthwakazi is self-determination and self-governance.

__label__cc	0.553696	0.446304	Right at home with Springville’s YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU Posted by Katie Roundy \| Sep 13, 2012 \| Reviews, Utah County \| 0 SPRINGVILLE — I always enjoy a good night out at the theater, especially when I see a show for the first time. It’s so refreshing to go in blind, without any preconceived notions or expectations, and just see where it takes me. Springville’s You Can’t Take It With You was one such show. I did not even have so much as a plot outline or list of scenes to guide me, so it’s no surprise that it fit the bill and invited me right in. Show closes September 29, 2012. Set in the 1930’s, the George S. Kaufman and Moss Hart’s script tells the story of two families who couldn’t be more different. On the one side are the Sycamores and on the other side is the Kirby family. The Sycamores are an odd family made up of Mr. and Mrs. Sycamore; their daughter, Essie and her husband Ed; their other daughter, Alice; the housekeeper, Rheba; her boyfriend, Donald; Mr. De Pinna, the ice delivery man who came to drop off a delivery and never left; Grandpa, who collects snakes and dodges the IRS; and a compilation of many, many more adopted persons. The unique group has a bizarre routine—Mr. Sycamore makes fireworks in the basement with Mr. De Pinna. Rheba prepares corn flakes for dinner. Mrs. Sycamore spends her time writing a play or painting in the living room. Grandpa does only fun things —all the while Essie dances and makes candy while her husband plays the xylophone. Alice appears to be the only “normal” one, working in an office and engaged to a nice boy named Tony. Enter family number two: Mr. Kirby owns his own business and works on Wall Street, practically married to his job. His wife enjoys the finer things in life and spends her spare time engulfed in spiritualism. Their son, Tony, is recently engaged to a nice girl named Alice. The two families move along at their own pace until that fateful day when their worlds collide. Based entirely on family relations, the show brought together a wide variety of characters and actors, some of which struck my fancy more than others. I was quite taken with Lon Keith, who played Grandpa. His portrayal of the tax-evading, advice-filled, live-for-today man was superb and ideal. From stuttering over his lines to his shuffle as he walked across the stage, Keith gave a realistic and endearing performance. Christopher Bradford gave an enthusiastic performance of Boris Kolenkhov, Essie’s Russian dance instructor. He put gusto behind each line and kept a steady accent. Mark Taggart, who portrays Mr. Sycamore, and Bryan Cardoza, who plays Mr. De Pinna, perfectly portrayed the oblivious, wrapped-up in firework-making men. But just as they do in a real-life family, some of the characters started to get under my skin—for example when Essie (Leisl Cope) was constantly twirling across the floor and plié-ing mid-conversation or Ed (Dominic Bills) was banging on the xylophone or creeping around in a mask. Alice (Joni Newman) was acting so bull-headed I just wanted to shake her. At these moments I had to remind myself that they were all just in character, and I really had to hand it to them for making their characters realistic enough to be annoying in a sibling sort of way. Director Robinne Booth, who also starred in the show as Mrs. Sycamore, made sure to keep it all in the family. Everything from the mood music and decorations to the mannerisms of the actors created a realistic family setting. In fact, the entire comedy took place in the living room of the Sycamore home. Prop manager Ciera Warenski and set constructor Mark Taggart did an excellent job with the set. All of the props were juxtaposed together and harried, just like the characters. No detail was left out as they created the perfect, randomly realistic-looking set. Even the costumes, thanks to costumer Rochelle Zibetti, fit right in with the time period, enhancing the show without distracting from the action. There were some scenes that had me outright laughing—such as the moment when a drunk actress is disguised as a piece of furniture; but there were also a few bumps, such as a live microphone backstage as well as some lulls in the action that had me glancing at my watch. The final scene seemed drawn out and I feel they could have driven the point home sooner, but the point remained the same: material possessions have no real meaning, as you can’t take them with you. When it really comes down to it, all that matters are the relationships you build and the memories you make together. While the play didn’t completely win me over, I was impressed by the performance as well as the message it carried and am glad to add it to my cultural repertoire. On the way home my friend commented that she had never been to a play that was so homey. They just invited you right into their crazy, but loveable family—which set us off on a conversation about our own eccentric relations. If you’re in southern Utah County, be sure to stop by and see the show—if only to remind you that there are a few crazies in every family, but you’ve still got to love them, quirks and all. The Springville Playhouse production of You Can’t Take It With You plays each Monday, Friday and Saturday evening at 7:30 PM through September 29 at Merit Academy (1440 West Center Street, Springville). Tickets are $7-8. For more information, visit springvilleplayhouse.org.

(Dave Frechette) An earlier than normal start time didn’t faze the Valpo women’s basketball team on Thursday, as Valpo came out for the 11 a.m. local tip and led nearly start to finish, winning 77-58 at Detroit Mercy in front of a crowd of better than 4,500 on Field Trip Day at Calihan Hall. The victory extended Valpo’s winning streak to three games and gave the team its third road victory of the season in five tries. Senior Grace Hales (Cromwell, Ind./Westview) scored Valpo’s first five points of the game, and then it was time for sophomore Shay Frederick (Greenville, Wis./Hortonville) to take over. Frederick scored eight straight points over just three possessions to give Valpo a 13-7 lead about four minutes into the game. The Titans scored eight straight points of their own to regain the lead, and still led 17-15 with 90 seconds to go in the opening quarter. But Frederick scored the last five points of the period for the Brown and Gold, the final two coming on a driving layup in the waning seconds which gave Valpo the 20-19 lead at the end of one. Valpo connected on 3-pointers of each of its first two possessions of the second quarter, coming from juniors Grace White (Redby, Minn./Red Lake [Denver]) and Ella Ellenson (Rice Lake, Wis./Rice Lake), to force a quick Detroit Mercy timeout with the lead 26-19. The Brown and Gold extended their lead to 10 points for the first time at 31-21 on a triple by sophomore Carie Weinman (Glenview, Ill./Glenbrook South [Denver]) with eight minutes to play in the first half before the Titans put together an 11-2 run to close to within 33-32 approaching the halfway mark of the period. White responded to Detroit Mercy cutting the lead to one by connecting on her second triple of the quarter, kick-starting an 11-1 run to end the half for Valpo as it led 44-34 at intermission. Hales hit a 3-pointer as part of that run as well as Valpo drilled five 3-pointers in the second quarter alone. After a high-scoring first half, the third quarter was more of a defensive struggle as Valpo out-scored the Titans in the period, 12-11. Detroit Mercy strung together six straight points to cut the advantage to 51-45 with less than 90 seconds to go in the quarter, but junior Addison Stoller (Cissna Park, Ill./Cissna Park) hit a 3-pointer and Weinman then hit a cutting Marlee Profitt (Medina, Ohio/Highland) for a basket at the rim on Valpo’s final two offensive possessions of the quarter, giving it a 56-45 lead at the end of the third. Valpo scored eight of the first 11 points in the fourth quarter to push its edge to 64-48 with 8:25 to play, and the lead wouldn’t drop under 13 points the rest of the way as the Crusaders closed out the win. The three-game winning streak is Valpo’s longest since winning four straight games Dec. 10-21, 2017. It is Valpo’s first winning streak of at least three consecutive games against all Division I opponents since three straight wins over Ball State, Northern Illinois and Youngstown State, Dec. 29, 2012-Jan. 12, 2013. Thursday’s win marked Valpo’s third true road win of the year in five true road games so far. The three road wins already have surpassed last year’s total of two true road victories. In fact, this year’s squad is now just one shy of matching the program’s highest total of road wins in a season over the last decade, as the 2017-18 and 2011-12 teams won four road games apiece. Combining Thursday’s win with last Wednesday’s victory at Toledo, Valpo has won back-to-back true road games for the first time since Feb. 4 and 11, 2012 at Cleveland State and at Butler. It was a balanced team effort to get the job done on Thursday, as three Valpo players scored in double figures and two others added eight points each. Hales led the way with a game-high 17 points, knocking down all four of her attempts from inside the 3-point line, and also tied for team-high honors with six rebounds. The senior did see her streak of 30 consecutive made free throws come to an end as she missed her first attempt of the day before bouncing back with three in a row to end the game. Frederick sparked Valpo in the first quarter, as all 13 of her points came in the opening 10 minutes. The sophomore dished out a game-best five assists as well. Stoller rounded out the Valpo trio in double figures with 13 points of her own, including a 6-for-7 effort from the foul line, and matched Hales with six rebounds. White and Weinman each chipped in eight points as well. In all, Valpo played all 12 players who dressed on Thursday and 11 of them scored at least two points. Included in the scoring ledger was freshman Zoe MacKay Zacker (St. Charles, Ill./Montini Catholic), who made her Valpo debut in the fourth quarter and converted a layup for her first career points. Valpo finished the game shooting 47.3% from the floor and 83.3% (15-of-18) from the foul line. The Crusaders were 10-for-28 (35.7%) from the 3-point line, with six different players combining on the 10 triples. Valpo reached double figures in 3-pointers made for the fourth time in the first seven games this year. Last year’s squad took 16 games before hitting 10 or more 3-pointers for the fourth time. Meanwhile, on the defensive end, Valpo limited Detroit Mercy to 5-of-23 shooting (21.7%) from the 3-point line and forced 25 Titan turnovers. 12 of those turnovers were Valpo steals, as White, Caitlin Morrison (Glenview, Ill./Glenbrook South) and Ilysse Pitts (Aurora, Ill./Montini Catholic) tallied three steals apiece. Thoughts From Coach Evans “These games can present a challenge, being earlier in the morning than you're used to playing and coming with a lot of distractions in terms of the number of kids in attendance - it gets you out of your normal routine. I think that maybe played a part in us coming out slow in the first quarter, but after that, we were able to settle in, especially on the defensive end. We played pretty well for the last three quarters on defense.” “We've got quite a few pieces in our rotation this year who saw significant minutes last year - three in our starting lineup and players coming off the bench as well - who understand our offensive philosophy having played in it for over a year now. We've got a few newcomers as well who are still learning, but we spent a good bit of time this summer working on our system. I think that combination of experience and summer work has us ahead of where we were this time last year on that end of the court, and I think you see that in the way we're moving offensively and the shots we're getting. It helps as well to have a great group of players who are really versatile, who you can trust shooting the ball, passing the ball and driving the ball.” “It's huge when we're able to force as many turnovers as we did today. We're not a big team and we play undersized most of the time, so for us to have a pretty distinct advantage in turnover margin (+9 on Thursday) is key to help offset any disadvantage we might have on the glass, although we did well in that category today too (even 31-31). We're starting to understand the overall defensive philosophy we want to instill as well. Our players had opportunities to make plays on the defensive end today, and they took advantage.” Valpo (4-3) will step away from competition for final exams week, meaning it will be 10 days until the Brown and Gold retake the court. The next appearance will come at the ARC on Sunday, Dec. 15 for a 1 p.m. tipoff against UIC. The game can be seen live on ESPN3.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0014.json.gz/line3511
__label__cc	0.669895	0.330105	About Author Val Tobin Meet Val Articles by Val Tobin Stories worth losing sleep over Author Val Tobin > Scorpio Rising by Alan Annand – Book Review Scorpio Rising by Alan Annand – Book Review Scorpio Rising by Alan Annand What do a New York heiress, a dot-com millionaire in San Francisco, and the team leader of a CIA counter-terrorist project in Los Alamos have in common? They are all murdered on the same day within an hour of each other, and in each case, the police have no idea who might have done it. In Scorpio Rising, author Alan Annand gives us a screen-scroller of an e-book crime story (also available in page-turning paperback) with a protagonist for the modern age. Axel Crowe, New Age Investigator Axel Crowe, a criminal profiler from Toronto, works his magic using Vedic astrology, palmistry, and other esoteric means that can either raise eyebrows or pique interest. Crowe’s investigative tool-kit and spiritual devotee background provide a unique and alluring protagonist. Through Crowe, we gain a glimpse into the mind of a professional astrologer at work as he investigates the killing of the New York heiress at the behest of her brother. Crowe manages, by plotting charts, following signs, and reading the odd print to figure out that the three murders are connected. How Crowe manages to convince the police, figure out the connections, and track down the killers, coupled with Annand’s knack for upside-the-head metaphors, provide the incentive to keep reading long past any reasonable bedtime. Homage to Hitchcock and Characters that Pop Scorpio Rising pays homage to Alfred Hitchcock’s Strangers on a Train, the story of two men who meet in the bar car of a train and agree to kill for each other, thus establishing perfect alibis. In Scorpio Rising, the question really isn’t who done it. We fairly quickly know who did it. The big question is, how did it come to this? Annand takes us along for the ride with the killers in two of the three murders, making them relatively sympathetic, until we realize where we’re going and what we’re doing, though it’s not like we didn’t already suspect something was up. It is, after all, a story about multiple murders. Most of the characters jump off the page, though the copious use of alliterations for proper names seemed unrealistic until I remembered the name of the author. But I found myself, more than anything else, anticipating the next chapter that featured Crowe, as watching him work was one of the most enjoyable aspects of the book. According to Annand, who agreed to an interview with Val Tobin about his book, Crowe is a “consummate professional who is a master of his arcane craft, a moral man bent on pursuing justice in the service of his clients … ” Crowe’s personality, values and morals make him seem real, and Annand acknowledges that the character was based on some real people, himself included. Annand has poured a lot of himself into this book, and it would seem he shares a fanatical attention to detail with his protagonist. Annand’s Attention to Detail Provides Authenticity and Accuracy Annand’s story has a lot of detail. More than once, I wondered about its authenticity and accuracy, as it seemed so vividly specific in setting and process. When questioned about the research he did, Annand reveals the lengths to which he went in order to make sure the settings and investigative details were accurate: “I visited and explored every setting used in my novel: New York, San Francisco, Albuquerque, Los Alamos. I interviewed police officers in Toronto and San Francisco. I interviewed a private investigator, a forensic crime-scene officer, and a fingerprint technician in Toronto. I have a few lawyers among my acquaintances to confirm any legal issues.” Real Charts for Fake People Even the astrological charts cast for the various characters are genuine, according to Annand: “Every chart that Crowe discusses is based upon a real chart, either the birth data of a perp or a victim, or the chart for a key event, such as when a murder occurred or a body was first discovered.” And if you find yourself wondering, as I did, if it really is possible to find a missing person using astrology, Annand answers that as well: “Absolutely. Whole chapters of several astrology books have been dedicated to finding the missing thing: a set of car keys, a cheque, a family pet, a runaway teenager, a kidnapping victim, a thief. William Lilly, a famous 17th-century British astrologer, was famous for this, not to mention many Hindu astrologers. It’s a well-established branch of traditional astrological practice.” About Author Alan Annand Alan Annand has five published novels to his credit and has produced two children’s animations. He contributed articles to a variety of astrological magazines. He lives in Toronto, where he divides his time between his writing and meeting with clients and giving classes on palmistry and Vedic astrology. Annand has practiced astrology for 30 years (with about half of those years dedicated to Vedic astrology) and palmistry for more than a decade. He speaks at astrological conferences and New Age gatherings, and has appeared on CBC and CTV. He was also a guest on several radio programs. Scorpio Rising does for astrology what the Da Vinci Code did for art history, or what the Indiana Jones series does for archaeology. If you enjoy a good crime story with a protagonist who gives you a unique glimpse into a specialized field, then this book is for you. The rapid pace and constant tension will please thriller fans. Even if you doubt the veracity of some of the tools Crowe uses, you will no doubt find his investigative process fascinating. Readers will be seeing more of Axel Crowe in Annand’s novels Felonious Monk and Soma County. Available for purchase on Smashwords and Amazon.

These activities connect them to the business innovators in their fields so they can learn how to contribute to and benefit from the rapid transformations underway. Gabriela Veloz (’14 International Management): “I was promoted to a leadership role just months after joining the company.” Gabriela Veloz was unsure what do with her passion for international management until she attended a workshop at the VDC for recent grads interested in business careers in fast growing venture-backed startup companies. After the event, she landed a business development representative job at SnapApp, and eventually joined CloudHealth Technologies. She said that she was promoted to a leadership role just months after joining the company. Today, Gaby is an account executive for Latin America, having pitched the company to create the position. She is one of 15 employees of CloudHealth who come every semester to the VDC to guide UMass Boston students interested in sales, marketing, data analytics and software development roles in venture-backed companies. Visit Gabriela Veloz Maria Vasco (’20 Environmental Science): “This scholarship takes a lot of weight off my shoulders.” School for the Environment major Maria Vasco is the first-ever recipient of UMass Boston’s Entrepreneur Scholarship and Workforce Development Program award, run by the VDC. In addition to the scholarship, she is being mentored by the scholarship’s founder, Dan Phillips, for the next two years. Phillips, an advisor in the VDC, recently sold his 6-year-old company, CloudHealth Technologies, to VMware for $500 million. “That’s exactly what I needed – someone with experience to give me advice.” Vasco says the award is just as critical to her growth as a budding entrepreneur. She hopes to open a beauty store with compostable products in plastic-free packaging. Visit Maria Vasco Josephine Namayanja, Assistant Professor, Department of Management Science and Information Systems: “The students are now ready to make a difference, thanks to your support.” The IT Capstone Class is a semester long project demonstrating a student’s mastery of skills. What better way to enhance the experience than having entrepreneurs at the cutting edge of their fields lead the projects? Dr. Namayanja tapped four VDC company founders to mentor student projects. “We are truly humbled by all the opportunities you have presented to us. Our students are walking out of UMass Boston different and ready to make a difference, only because you gave them a chance.” One student reported: “I think my team’s capstone submission for the dashboard helped me land the job I’m at now at Boston Children’s Hospital.” Visit Josephine Namayanja Jill Macoska, Professor of Biology, Alton J. Brann Chair: “I learned how to commercialize the biomarkers the center is developing.” Jill Macoska, a Boston Business Journal Women to Watch in Science and Technology, is the founding director of the Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy. It is an ambitious translational research venture with the Dana Farber Cancer Institute which has leveraged over $40,000,000 in NIH research funding. According to Jill: “When I first got to the VDC, I was surrounded by startups, and I was really learning how startups are formed, how they become sustained, the kind of business models they have to develop to be competitive, how they get their funding, all of that stuff. I got a better understanding of how to commercialize the biomarkers the center is developing.” Visit Jill Macoska Roland Price (’19, Information Technology): “Not a lot of opportunities existed like this before.” When the New England Venture Capital Association (NEVCA) partnered with the VDC to launch Hack.Diversity, they did so with the goal of addressing the underrepresentation of high-skilled minority employees in Boston’s tech industry. UMass Boston junior Roland Price said he was “ecstatic” when he found out that he was chosen as one of the 2018 fellows. “Not a whole lot of opportunities existed like this before.” Roland landed an internship at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. He says: “The program gives those who otherwise would never have had a chance to learn, network and work with some of the greatest people in Boston, maybe the world.” Visit Roland Price Ariana Gardner (Computer Science, ’18): “The program gave me the opportunity to prove myself and to reach my goals.” To date, through Hack.Diversity, the New England Venture Capital Association has selected 29 UMass Boston students to participate in internships in Boston’s tech industry. After the program, 2018 Fellow Ariana Gardner became a full-time release engineer at American Well, a fast growing company that connects users instantly with doctors over video feed. Visit Ariana Gardner Marc Pomplun, Professor of Computer Science: “Help me make the course more relevant to the real-world.” “My industrial experience in software engineering is rather thin, and so I’d be very grateful if you could help make the course (Introduction to Software Engineering) more current and more relevant to real-world software engineering,” Pomplun says modestly. Enter VDC entrepreneurs Itzu Chen (PillPack), Lere Williams (GitHub), Nam Chu Hoai (Wellframe), and Srinath Vaddepally (RistCall) who built a new syllabus and lectured in the course with Dr.Pomplun. Pomplun recently made another request: “I will teach that course again in the spring, and it would be great if I could work with the VDC.” Himanshu Agrawal (Verbotics), Juan Morales (Tymwear), and Thrasyvoulos Karydis (Deepcure) are participating. “For many students, the VDC represents our first exposure to startup culture and solving real-world tech problems, and the insight and experience the entrepreneurs are lending is invaluable,” said computer science major Kristen Laird.” Visit Marc Pomplun Haydy George, Emal Lesha, Jurgen Poci and Rebeca Cortazio (’16, Biology): “I worked very closely with the CEO.” Luhan Yang’s first request upon arriving at the VDC from the George Church’s lab at Harvard Medical School was for talented and highly skilled interns. UMass Boston biology students Emal Lesha, Haydy George, Jurgen Poci and Rebeca Cortazio helped her with a publication in Science. Her startup, eGenesis, has since raised $38 million from ARCH Venture Partners after successfully using the gene-editing tool CRISPR to knock out a key virus in piglets, a move that could lead to pig-organ transplants for humans. According to Haydy, now Research Laboratory Manager at eGenesis: “I worked very closely with Dr. Yang. She quickly gave me responsibilities and I was up for the challenge.” Visit Haydy George Visit Emal Lesha Visit Rebeca Cortazio Visit Jurgen Poci Did we pique your interest?

However, to achieve this, upload your best music. As you can appreciate, choosing the right service provider is very critical. Do not buy follower just from any run-of-the-mill service provider. #1. Subscription Services Play A Role In Promoting An Artist’s Catalog (Which General Improve Revenue Generation) There is money to be made in the music streaming business, as MarketWatch reports. A further testament to this assertion is recent business moves made by Apple, Amazon, and Google. These three internet giants have delved into the business of music streaming, with Google acquiring Songza, Apple Purchasing Beats Music (for $3 billion), and Amazon launching Prime Music. As such, labels are expected to experience revenue growth moving into the future. More proof that streaming is increasingly becoming a priority, all the three major music labels have launched their own playlists on Spotify, where they promote music. UMG launched Digster, WMG has PlaylistMe, and Sony has Filtr. Additionally, WMG’s artists and distribution services department recently bought Playlists.net. The marketing strategy of focus here for music labels is to use playlists to increase the streams for music in their catalog. They curate music based on genres and themes, thereby creating following. Once they have a following, they can use these playlists to “seed” new music being released. At its core, this form of marketing is similar to the traditional radio promos. However, in this case, the tastemaker’s role is played by the playlist curators. Where this form of marketing differs from the traditional form of marketing is anyone can become a music curator. Therefore, music labels, artists, distributors, brands, TV and radio shows, celebrities, music fans, or any other party can become curators and create a following. This form of music curation is becoming an important means for fans to discover new music and new artists. And since they can consume your music affordably, some fans will opt to listen to your entire music catalog, rather than choosing and picking a small number of tracks. This potentially turns them into true fans that religiously follow your music. It is important to note that in the era we live in, many people are generally unwilling to purchase music without first listening to what you have to offer and, therefore, knowing what to expect. A good example is the case of U.S independent artist, Ron Pope. Pope added his music catalog to Spotify back in 2010. In as little as 2 years, the catalog has generated 57 million plays and $334,636 (by Feb. 2014). However, of interest, Pope had been generating millions of streams from Sweden, thereby generating a huge fan base and following. This enabled Pope to attain a hefty guarantee to play at a festival there. In countries such as Sweden and Norway, where Spotify is really popular, hardly anyone purchases music in the traditional sense. Artists generate a large proportion of their revenue from streaming. This is why the vast majority of artists make five to ten times as much streaming revenue from Spotify in such countries than in the U.S. Let’s explore the numbers. Spotify has over 40 million users across the world. 10 million of these users pay a monthly subscription fee. Of all the paying subscribers, only 3 million are located in the U.S. Spotify launched in Sweden (which has a population of 10 million) and Norway (which has a population of 5.1 million) back in October 2008. However, it did not launch in the U.S (with population 319 million people) until July 2011, which is huge market potential. From this, you can appreciate the success that the music streaming service has garnered over the years and the huge potential it has as we move forward. Just think of the billions of dollars that artists and labels stand to make from streaming when it becomes the normal form of music consumption in highly populated countries such as the U.S. Furthermore, Spotify has achieved this success despite the company being quite small compared to other companies such as YouTube (with over 1B users) and iTunes (with 800 million accounts). As such, with the growth of streaming services, you can expect artists’ payout to increase even further. Granted, artists and labels make more money when fans purchase Mp3s. However, you should think of streaming as a dividend that you get whenever someone listens to your music. This quickly adds up and as more people become paying subscribers, you can expect the revenues generated to increase. Every day, we are inching closer to a time when streaming revenues will surpass CD sales and digital downloads. #2. Curated Playlist Have The Potential To Break A Hit – Buy Spotify Followers to Help! ‘Waves’ by Mr. Probz, a Dutch rapper was released late last year and has accrued over 2.4 million downloads. Importantly, it was streamed over 1 million times every day throughout the summer. In Europe, the song received great support from club DJs creating a ‘lean-forward’ means for the song to become a hit song. However, how did the song break out in the U.S Spotify top 40 chart in April? How did the song transverse European borders to reach America? A careful study of data shows that the success of the song boils down to the ‘lean back’ marketing that comes with curated playlists, which enable Mr. Probz to make inroads into the American market. Importantly, Mr. Probz achieved this success without conventional support. As a testament to the importance of streaming, when you overlay Spotify streams, radio plays, and Shazam tags, the data points radio lagging behind as much as 3 months. #3. The Subscription Services Help To Cultivate New Artists A hidden benefit of an all-you-can-stream model of music consumption is the generation of enormous amounts of data. When you marry streaming data and music, there is a huge impact on the entire industry. For example, Spotify has been amassing a huge amount of data from its millions of listeners across the 60 countries it is available. This has given Spotify a means to see emerging trends right before anyone else. For instance, Spotify data showed that Lorde was trending across the platform. As such, Spotify enhanced her visibility on the platform. As such, you can argue that her rise was due to Spotify. The company has a team dedicated to spotting these trends and thereby enhancing their visibility. This means they cultivate artists as they emerge. Additionally, the company has started to work with traditional radio stations, helping them identify regional surges in music popularity that their DJs cannot identify easily. #4. Subscription Services Negate Piracy Studies indicate that rise of legal alternatives to piracy in Norway such as such as Spotify has negated the rate of piracy by more than 80%. Keep in mind that Norway has the highest rate of digital revenue per capita in the world. The same positive developments have been experienced in Australia where piracy rates have dropped by 20% within one year of Spotify launching in the country. In Sweden, piracy fell by 25% from 2009 to 2011. In North America, file sharing as means of consuming music now accounts for less than 10% of daily traffic. #5. Subscription Services Increase The Expenditure Of Average Music Consumers As you might be aware, digital downloads have not been able to replace the revenue lost with the decline in the purchase of physical CDs that we have experienced in the past 15 years. However, Spotify and other streaming services have the potential to regenerate the lost revenues by helping eke out the most value from every listener. NPD Group’s Russ Crupnick, the renowned consultancy firm reckons that in the only 45% of America’s internet population make any music purchases of any form. And those purchase amount to $55.45 only. However, an average premium subscriber will spend $10 every month, which translates to $120 every year. As you can appreciate, Spotify generates about twice the revenue for the industry than other means. Spotify main goal now is to convince more people to become premium users and thereby generate more revenue for the industry and re-grow it. You can take advantage of this if you Buy Spotify Followers #6. Streams Count Towards Music Charts The U.S. Billboard charts have incorporated on-demand music streaming since 2012 into the Billboard’s Hot 100. In 2013 they incorporated YouTube streaming further enhancing the complex formula they use to determine the charts. Today, the video/audio streaming, digital downloads, online radio streaming, physical single sales, and terrestrial radio airplay contribute to the ranking of songs on the singles chart. Music fans, therefore, have a tremendous influence on the chart’s composition and ranking than ever before. Across the pond in the UK, in-demand streams have been added to its Top 40 singles chart. 100 streams will now be weighted as a single download or physical single when they are compiling the chart. Moreover, each song has to be streamed for than 30 seconds to be counted as a stream. The subscription services that contribute include Spotify, Nasper, O2 tracks, Deezer, rara, Sony Music Unlimited and Xbox Music. #7. Concert Recommendations And Social = Free Promotion Spotify (and other streaming platforms) provides users with various ways of sharing what they are listening to. Spotify’s desktop app, users can share the music they are listening to via their activity feed, direct messaging other Spotify users, or with their Facebook network through the deep Facebook integration. As such, you fans essentially become your promoters. Additionally, Spotify also becomes a promoter as it recommends nearby concerts to your music listeners and your fans and followers. Furthermore, when fans visit artists’ discography, they are shown their nearby concerts. #8. The Notifications And Alerts Make It Easier For An Artist To Stay In Touch Spotify generates notifications to your followers whenever you upload new music, thereby enabling you to get your music to fans as soon as there are new releases. Notifications are in the form of push mobile notifications, emails, and recommendations in their activity feed. #9. Subscription Services Have Higher Pay Rates Than Online Radio, Terrestrial Radio, And Online Video Spotify pays 70% of “every dollar” it generates right back to the rights holders. This is on par with many other digital retailers in the industry. The rights holder, in this case, refers to the owners of the music that have uploaded their music on Spotify; they may be labels, distributors, publishers, and independent artists. Spotify pays much higher royalty rate (2X) than other online platforms including your favorite video platform, terrestrial radio stations, or even online radio stations.

This platform has more than 140 million active users out of which 60 million are paying subscribers. This platform is growing at a breakneck speed and offers a variety of new tools to independent artists like you to succeed on this platform. Therefore, it’s in your interest to engage in a promotion strategy and invest time and effort in increasing the number of followers on Spotify. Use Our Spotify Promotion Service to get more followers? There are several benefits of increasing your Spotify followers. One of the biggest advantages is that your fans on the platform get email notifications whenever you upload new music on the platform or announced new shows using Songkick.com. In addition, Spotify has a Release Radar playlist where your songs will show up in addition to other algorithmically generated playlists on the platform. Important Tip: First and foremost, it is important for you to take a long look at your music marketing strategy and figure out where Spotify fits into that strategy. Not all artists are going to benefit from increasing followers on Spotify. For some artists, Instagram makes much more sense. For others, SoundCloud or YouTube subscribers are more important as compared to Spotify subscribers. However, it is also important to keep in mind that music streaming is not going anywhere and it’s the future. I am mentioning this to ensure that you do not jump blindly into Spotify only because it’s the latest trend. Think about it so that at a late date you should not feel that all your marketing efforts on growing your Spotify presence was a waste of time, effort and money. Claim Your Spotify Artist Profile This is the first step to a winning Spotify strategy. Here is a link where you can learn more about this topic in detail: https://artists.spotify.com/guide/spotify-for-artists I requested access to this feature for a few artists I work with but I was asked to verify using the Twitter account of the artists. You need to keep this in mind when you’re trying to claim your artist profile. While it is not necessary in order to grow your followers on the platform but keep in mind that claiming your artist profile offers you much more. It gives you access to immensely important data. When you claim your profile, you will get access to tools that will tell you a lot about your audience, songs they like as well as playlists that include your songs among other things. Claiming your profile will also get you a blue checkmark against your profile which means you are officially verified on the platform. Spotify has been accused of unfair payouts and royalty practices but the company has always maintained that they are committed to bring a lot of value to artists through data and other tools like these. You should also know that to make full use of the tips mentioned below, you will need access to your Spotify artist profile. Once you get access and have complete control over your Spotify artist profile, you should download the Spotify for Artists app (iOs). Here are a few Spotify Promotions that will help you increase the number of followers on Spotify: Place ‘Follow’ Button Widget on Your Website to Help with Spotify Branding To get the code for the follow button widget, you will need to log into your account and click on the tools button. Add the generated code to your website in order to create a follow button. Visitors on your website can click that button to become a follower on Spotify. In simple terms, this widget makes it easier for visitors to become your follower on the platform. It’s perfect for Spotify branding In addition, it is also recommended to embed a playlist of your songs next to the follow button. First of all, you will need to create a playlist that contains all of your music or some chosen songs or all the latest releases. Having this playlist on your website will make the visitors aware of your presence on the platform and it will add to your followers. However, you also need to understand that your visitors will need their own Spotify account in order to play the music on the embedded Spotify music player. Ideally, you should use an audio player such as SoundCloud or Bandcamp as these do not come with any such restrictions and make it easy for visitors to listen to your music on your website. Take Advantage of Social Media Take advantage of your followers on other social media platforms to increase the number of followers on Spotify. Do not just straightaway ask them to follow you on Spotify. Instead, you should focus on explaining the benefits of following you on Spotify and how it helps you. As mentioned in the beginning, the biggest benefit is that your followers get notifications whenever new music is uploaded on Spotify which means they won’t miss out on any of your new releases. Also, do not forget to tell your friends and family members. Ask the Email Subscribers to Aid your Spotify Music Promotion You should also take advantage of your email subscribers in case you have an email list through an online email platform such as MailChimp. Do not straightaway ask your subscribers to follow you on Spotify. Try to be a bit creative. For instance, give them an incentive such as releasing a new song or video just for them in case you get a certain number of followers. Live Show Audience When you have a live audience in front of you, take advantage of this opportunity and let your fans know that you are there on Spotify and they can follow you in case they like your music. Again, don’t be direct and just mention it towards the end or in the middle of the set. You can also offer incentives such as discount on your merchandise in case they follow you on Spotify. This is central to great real promotion on spotify Keep Going with your Spotify Promos One of the best ways to get more followers on Spotify is to constantly put new music on the platform as it will naturally condition people to follow you if they want to keep up with your releases. It’s a big incentive for fans and gives them a reason to follow you. You won’t get much traction in case you keep asking fans to follow you on Spotify but you haven’t added any songs to the platform for the past few years. Get Creative with Playlists to Help Promote Spotify Get creative by creating playlists around a particular theme in order to add your songs. This playlist should be promoted on social media as well as on your Spotify profile. Be smart and do not add only your songs to the playlist as you want to ensure that playlist stays true to the theme. These playlists should be added on social media and you may want to tag other artists included in the playlists. The basic idea is to promote the playlists and get others to like and share the playlists to get some exposure which may add to your followers. You also want people to add your songs in their playlists in addition to increasing the number of your Spotify followers. Addition of your songs to other playlists helps Spotify identify the songs that are added to the auto generated playlists of their subscribers (Discover Weekly and Release Radar). It will help you get additional exposure. Keep in mind that there is no automatic way to get this done on its own and you have to ask for it or produce excellent music so that people are naturally inclined to add your music to their playlist. Follow Gates There are several tools available in the market that can help you increase your number of followers and aid organic Spotify promotions. A follow gate is such a tool. With the help of this tool, you can increase the number of followers by exchanging song download in lieu of a follow. There was a time when free downloads were a thing but the current music streaming climate has completely changed. Therefore, you will need to do something special in order to make your download enticing. In case your song is really good and people want it, you should make the song exclusive. In this manner, they can download the song only when they give their email address or follow you on Spotify. Invest in Social Media Advertising for Better Spotify Promotion It’s an advanced way to add to the number of followers but you will need to do a bit more work. Keep in mind that you need to have a budget and spend some money for buying advertising which means you need to be careful doing this. It’s recommended to spend your money on Instagram and Facebook advertising in order to get the best bang for your buck. You need to create a strategy in order to get the most value for your advertising budget and to make the most of your Spotify promos. I’m planning to write a detailed blog on using social media advertising to gain more exposure. For now, I have prepared some guidelines in order to help you get most value for your advertising money and save you from spending all your budget without any appreciable return. The first thing you need to understand is that audience can be divided into three general segments for the purposes of social media advertising in order to enhance the number of Spotify followers. I label these segments as hot, cold and warm. The cold segment includes people who are not aware of your existence or existence of your music. Warm segment includes people who are aware of your name and may have listened to some of your songs. Hot audience includes people who are familiar with you and are fans of your music. I haven’t heard anyone discussing hot audiences but I will include it here in order to give you a visual of the type of audiences. You will need to buy social media ads differently for different types of audiences. To get more Spotify followers, you shouldn’t target cold audience right at the start as it’s not going to be cost-effective. Normally, people do this by targeting individuals who have interest in artists similar to you. For effective advertising, it is important for you to find out other artists your fans listen to in order to show targeted ads for those artists. When you access your profile on Spotify, you will also get some suggestions on the other artists that your fans listen to. Another way to get more artists is to click on the Spotify profile of an artist and take a look at the related artists. The problem with this approach is that it is not possible to target fans of artists who are not well known as their names won’t appear in the interest box. A better idea is to try to convert the cold audiences into warm audiences by giving them an enticing offer such as showing a music video, offering a free download or sending them to a customized playlist on Spotify that includes your music. The basic idea is to enhance your brand awareness and send visitors to your website in order to build a custom audience with the help of a Facebook Pixel. It can then be used to show them ads and ask them to follow you on Spotify. In case you’re not aware of Facebook Pixel, it’s a simple piece of code that is placed on your website in order to attract visitors. You can then target these visitors by using the Facebook Ad manager. This particular group can then be shown targeted ads. In case you are not a tech person, here is where you can learn more about it: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616. Your website visitors are part of the warm audiences which means ads asking them to become a follower on Spotify will be much more effective. In case your website doesn’t get too many visitors on its own, an enticing offer such as free download of your songs to cold audiences is an effective way to drive more traffic to your website. The Facebook Pixel will take care of everything and there is no need for you to do any gating or ask for emails. Hot audience will include your fans and followers on social media. To target this audience, you can post something on Facebook and use the Facebook’s Ad Manager to boost your post. There is a lot more to advertising on social media to increase the number of followers on Spotify such as ways to organize your campaigns, use of marketing objective and different types of ad copy among others.

Ouch to these corporations. President Barack Obama plans to propose changes to tax policy certain to be unpopular with corporations with international divisions and individuals who use tax havens. Obama also plans to ask Congress for 800 new federal tax agents to enforce his broad requests. Obama’s two-piece plan, to be announced at the White House on Monday, would eliminate some tax deductions for companies that earn profits in countries with low tax rates, as well as consider U.S. citizens who use tax havens such as the Bahamas or Cayman Islands guilty of violating U.S. tax laws. If Obama wins congressional approval for the changes — and he faces a challenge on Capitol Hill — it could deliver $210 billion in tax revenue over the next decade. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner was to join Obama for the 11 a.m. comments. Officials described the administration’s plan ahead of the announcement on the condition of anonymity so they wouldn’t upstage the president’s remarks. However, they acknowledged the political challenges facing the plan. The administration won’t seek a complete repeal of overseas tax benefits and, although the rule changes are narrower than some anticipated, business leaders still oppose them as a tax hike. Obama aides countered that the plan is a step toward a massive overhaul of international financial regulations the president has promised. In exchange, Obama said he was willing to make permanent a research tax credit that was to expire at the end of the year and is popular with businesses. Officials estimate that making the tax credits permanent would cost taxpayers $74.5 billion over the next decade. But administration aides said 75 percent of those tax credits paid workers’ wages; given the struggling economy, aides were reluctant to do anything that could add more Americans to the unemployment rolls.

__label__cc	0.610738	0.389262	BOOKISH RECIPES 2015 Book Boyfriends Guest Post Historical Fiction Joanna Courtney Pan Guest Post: Historical Book Boyfriends by Joanna Courtney Today I am delighted to welcome Joanna Courtney to my blog. Joanna is the author of historical novel The Chosen Queen and she has written a fantastic guest post for us. She is going to talk about book boyfriends (who doesn't love book boyfriends?) but with a twist, they are all from historical fiction! Joanna, all yours: Eddie Redmayne – not a bit historical but very gorgeous! It was lovely to read Alba’s Q&A with Kerry Fisher, author of The Island Escape, and her pick of a ‘book boyfriend’ really got me thinking. I’m a happily married woman but although I’ve long know that everyone is allowed a crush on actors (Eddie Redmayne – gorgeous!) the thought that I’m also allowed to fancy book heroes is a fantastic one and something I should have acknowledged and embraced ages ago. There are a host of wonderful romantic heroes in literature but what I want to focus on in particular is who are the best hunks in historical fiction as all those kings and dukes, warriors and warlords are rich pickings for readers. It’s been very interesting talking to my own readers about which men they fancy in my novel, The Chosen Queen. It’s set in the run up to 1066 and follows the story of Edyth of Mercia who is married, first to King Griffin of Wales, a sparkling but dangerous red-headed warrior, and then to Harold of Wessex, also very much a warrior but of the blonde, Saxon variety and – in my book at least – a softer character. It emerges from feedback, that on the whole readers, although they love Harold, fancy Griffin more. It seems bad boys always capture the eye, even when the eye is trained nearly 1000 years back! King Griffin – in my dreams! So, who are the hottest historical heros? I’d have to plump instantly for Mr Darcy but I’m going to ban him from my list as he wasn’t a ‘historical’ hero but very much totty of his time. Jane Austen was writing contemporary fiction when she created him, so he’s out. I’m looking for men created by contemporary authors but set in past times and, as I love my history really historical, I’m looking for those set in long past times. Marshall from the cover of The Greatest Knight William Marshall. William is the hero of two of the brilliant Elizabeth Chadwick’s novels, The Greatest Knight and The Scarlet Lion. I know Elizabeth professes herself a little bit in love with him and no wonder. He’s a twelfth-century self-made man, who clawed his way out of relative poverty to become the greatest knight of his age. He’s also, in the wonderful books at least, a loving and exciting husband and a real family man. He’s handsome, determined, powerful and charming – what’s not to like?! Gratuitous picture of handsome priest Matthew Bartholomew. This man is not, in any way, your average hero, but there’s something utterly gorgeous about Susanna Gregory’s Matthew Bartholomew. He’s a physician and teacher in Michaelhouse College Cambridge in the 1300s who seems to end up forever investigating mysterious murders. He’s intelligent, witty, kind, and quietly daring, ahead of his time in medical thinking, and a commanding man with a shy eye for the ladies. He comes across as being both fun company and rather sexy – definite book-boyfriend material. Aneurin Barnard as Richard III Richard III. I’ve had something of a soft spot for Richard III ever since my first history lesson at secondary school where we studied a portrait of him in which his legendary hunchback was clearly painted on after his death to blacken his reputation. A troubled younger son, he seems to me to have always had a bad press and I loved the way the hugely talented Phillipa Gregory looked at history from his side in The Kingmaker’s Daughter. It didn’t hurt, either, that Aneurin Barnard, the actor who played Richard in the TV version of The White Queen (which included The Kingmaker’s Daughter and The Red Queen) was ethereally hot. If you’re looking for a dark, handsome, sensitive king, Richard’s your man. Geoffrey Chaucer. Perhaps not an obvious pick but Chaucer, as portrayed in Vanora Bennet’s fascinating book The People’s Queen, is – as you might imagine from such a literary great – a warm, intelligent, irreverent and humorous character that you can’t help, despite yourself, falling a little bit in love with. The novel is about the rise and fall of Alice Perrers, mistress of Edward III, and features Chaucer as her friend and protector. Theirs is an unusual and fascinating relationship and really drew me in. Perhaps, as a fan of medieval literature from my A-level days on, I was always going to fall for this key figure, but he’s definitely got ancient geek-appeal! Portrait of Chaucer – not sexy but cute? Paul Bettany as Chaucer – sexy and cute! Bradley James as Arthur in BBC’s Merlin King Arthur. I specialised in Arthurian literature in my third year at college and have always been fascinated by the elusive king, too often relegated to a back seat in his own stories. Strictly speaking, he’s more mythical than historical, created by year upon year of layered storytelling, but what’s wonderful about the legends of Arthur is that, long before Game of Thrones came along, authors were creating a pseudo-historical character who was everything anyone wanted of a hero, so I think he deserves to be in this list. Besides – I fancy him! Which book? There are many, but in terms of near-contemporary writers, it’s still hard to beat the great T H White’s The Once and Future King. Thank you so much Joanna for this fantastic guest post! You had me swooning with all these amazing book boyfriends! Also, I need to start reading more historical fiction, right now! Joanna Courtney is the author of The Chosen Queen, the first in the Queens of the Conquest trilogy which follows the stories of the women vying to be Queen of England in 1066. Published by Pan Macmillan, it’s available now in hardback and to pre-order in paperback for September 2015. Blurb: 1066: A date that changed the course of history; a date that changed her life forever Love should be free - that is what Edyth Alfgarsdottir has always believed. As a young girl she witnessed Earl Harold standing barefoot in his handfast marriage to the beautiful Lady Svana and has yearned for her own love match ever since. Amongst England's royal court, marriages are not often chosen for love and political matches are rife while King Edward is still without an heir. When her family are exiled to the wild Welsh court, Edyth unexpectedly finds herself falling for the charismatic Griffin - first King of all of Wales. Becoming his Queen catapults Edyth onto the opposing side of a bitter feud between England and Wales. She has to grow up fast but has the support and encouragement of her closest friend, Lady Svana. Years later, Edyth is in line to take the crown of England. This time the lines of love and duty are far more blurred. As 1066 dawns, Edyth and Svana will be asked to make an even greater sacrifice, perhaps the greatest of all. In the midst of war, can love - and freedom - survive?

"The political motivations that we detect behind the IG investigation into Brian Hook's staffing decisions is more proof that Obama-era bureaucrats, which some call the ‘deep state,’ will stop at nothing to thwart President Trump's Iran policy agenda that is working very well,” said AMCD co-chair, John Hajjar. “Want proof? Look no further than the peaceful revolution taking place in Lebanon by protestors - including Shia Muslims - who are fed up with the hegemony of force exercised by Tehran and its proxy Hezbollah. Look also to the protests in Iraq along the same lines. The people have had enough of jihadist tyranny from Tehran both in Iran and in its proxy states. The pot is finally boiling over and we can thank President Trump for squeezing Tehran financially through sanctions with real teeth." “The obstruction inside the government is part of an ongoing effort to undermine our President,” added AMCD co-chair, Tom Harb. “They want to sabotage his policies and destroy anyone who is endeavoring to carry them out. There are even reports that former Secretary of State, John Kerry, has advised the mullahs of Iran not to engage with the administration because President Trump would soon be out of office and then the JCPOA could be re-joined by his successor. This is outrageous!” “Brian Hook is a true professional who has faithfully carried out the President’s policies,” continued AMCD vice-chair, Hossein Khorram. “We know that the so-called ‘deep state’ targeted the Trump campaign in 2016, then the transition, and has continued its attempt to destroy the President to this day. It is the duty of career professionals to carry out the President’s policies, not to work to undermine them. Those engaged in this type of unprofessional behavior must be punished.” The AMCD leadership now has a concern even higher than seeing former Administration bureaucrats sabotaging the work of an incumbent Administration. We have a legitimate concern that such sabotage is the product of foreign influence, in this case from the Iranian regime. We urge the US Senate to look into the connections between those who profited from the Iran deal and those who are leading the obstruction of current US policy on Iran. AMCD stands firmly with the people of Iran against the 40-year tyranny of the mullahs.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0014.json.gz/line3547

Title: Northern Lights Author: Asta Idonea Genre: Short Story / Contemporary / Holiday-Themed A dream romantic vacation to Iceland to see the Northern Lights turns into a nightmare when James’s workaholic boyfriend, Richard, again insists on putting his work first. After a call from Richard’s office, an argument ends with the couple splitting up for good. Not only has Richard left James, he’s left him abandoned to explore the park alone, where James quickly gets lost. But just when things seem darkest, the Solstice works its magic, and James finds the guiding light he needs. Or it finds him. Buy the book: Dreamspinner Press / Amazon US / Amazon UK / ARe “NO. NO, Bob, listen to me. Bob, listen to me. Yes. No. Yes. Bob. Bob. Calm down.” I turn off the tap, shake my hands over the sink, and reach for towel as I listen to the one-sided conversation drifting through from the next room. I don’t really know why I’m surprised. It’s not as if this hasn’t happened a hundred times before. Richard and I will make plans, and then that damn phone of his will vibrate, emitting the inane, grimace-inducing ringtone I’ve never been able to stand, and everything will unravel. Richard and I met at a Christmas party five years ago, just before he started his job at Robert Preston & Associates. To date, that was the one and only Christmas we’ve managed to spend together. Every year since, something work-related has called him away. He does his best to make it home for dinner on my birthday, which falls during the holidays, but even that is touch-and-go. Some years I’ve ended up celebrating alone, surrounded by fast-cooling, half-eaten slices of pizza and a pile of empty beer cans. For months I’ve been begging him for this overseas trip. We’ve been going through a tough patch, and I thought spending the holidays together—without interruptions, just the two of us—would go a long way toward healing the rift. I’d held out hope that the distances involved would grant us some measure of security, that the fact that we were out of the country would make Bob think twice before dialing.

__label__wiki	0.627892	0.627892	BethanyBlankley Copyright © 2019 BethanyBlankley.com RESCUING THE REPUBLIC REVISITING AMERICANISM & CHRISTIANITY REVEALING ISLAM German and Austrian Sexual Assault Prevention Flyers Aren’t Working. Wonder Why … German and Austrian Sexual Assault Prevention Flyers Aren’t Working.… by EditorBB The Austrian government created a flyer (also used by Switzerland) to educate and prevent Muslim migrant men from sexually assaulting its women. But the flyers aren’t working. In the latest string of sexual assaults, a “dark-skinned” young foreign man preyed on a 13-year-old Austrian girl at a pool in Mistelbach, Austria. Russia Today reported that he followed her into the women’s changing room and forced her to perform oral sex. She fiercely resisted and started shouting and he ran away. One would think there would be security at the pool, and especially in the changing rooms. Somehow, a flyer, was supposed to prevent crime. According to Austrian newspaper Kronen Zeitung, witnesses who saw the man fleeing, in addition to the girl, identified him as a young “foreigner.” The police began looking for him in the eight asylum facilities and surrounding areas and the mayor of the town, Alfred Pohl, issued a temporary pool ban for migrants, stating, “This news was a shock.” How is this news a shock? They put out a flyer to prevent it from happening. Is it a shock that the flyer didn’t work? The flyer, “Ground Rules” was designed to make clear what kind of behavior is acceptable in public (shaking hands, kissing, and praying) and what isn’t (punching women and children in the head, flying into a rage and slapping children). The pictograms, or cartoons, were included, considering that migrants can’t read German. The government tried to “focus on role models, and equality between men and women.” The flyers were designed to show that, “there is zero tolerance for sexual harassment. The motto is ‘If you come to us, abide by our rules.'” Germany also distributed a comparable flyer, with the following explanations: “young girls feel harassed by demands such as asking for a cell phone number or Facebook contact, or marriage proposals” “when nature calls we do exclusively on toilets, not in parks and gardens, and not on hedges and behind bushes.” The anti-sexual-assault flyers aren’t working in Germany either. But despite this failed attempt to prevent sexual assaults, what does the German government do? It created and distributed another flyer, hoping to educate “sexually frustrated” male migrants. The updated leaflet depicts acceptable and unacceptable behavior: Unacceptable: touching a woman’s behind (#12), trying to drown other swimmers (#4), pushing women into the pool (#3), jumping/diving onto a woman (#7). Some towns rightly banned adult Muslim migrant men. Reuters reported that “a western German town has barred adult male asylum seekers from its public indoor swimming pool after receiving complaints that some women were sexually harassed there. … The deputy mayor of Bornheim … said … a difficult decision was taken to send a clear message that breaching German cultural norms was a red line that should not be crossed. “This led to my decision that adult males from our asylum shelters may not enter the swimming pool until further notice.” Here’s a suggestion for these governments: it’s called deportation and repatriation. Send the men back to where they came from because they are not in Austria or Germany to become western or abide by western laws.

He acknowledged the historic and ongoing efforts made by the LGBTQ community and their allies to make the workplace equitable for all people. “I haven’t had to confront flagrant disrespect in my workplace or be denied a service or promotion because of who I am,” Blazey said. “But we all know someone who has. Just look around you to see those invisible scars. Together as a united front, we have the power to bring change. Together we are making a difference. Together, our future is bright.” Through the recently launched Boeing Behaviors, the company is working to create the kind of culture where employees feel valued, respected and want to stay. “As an executive who is comfortable being authentic, including being transparent about being gay, I aspire to create an inclusive workplace where the best people know they matter and belong,” said Michael Cox, Boeing’s Global Head of Talent. “Through our participation in the 2018 Out & Equal Workplace Summit, we are continually demonstrating that top, diverse talent belongs at Boeing.” Understanding the importance of engaging and valuing its workforce, Boeing has long been committed to creating an inclusive workplace and equal opportunities for all employees. Under the guidance of Tim Keating, executive vice president for Government Operations, The Boeing Employees Pride Alliance (BEPA) works to drive LGBTQ-friendly changes in company policies and in the work environment by providing support and networking opportunities for its members, and promoting activities within Boeing that raise awareness about the LGBTQ community. Looking back, in 1999, the company began offering health care benefits to same-sex domestic partners of Boeing employees – something that, at the time, only 10 percent of businesses were doing. Starting in 2019, parents – including same-sex parents – will receive 12 weeks of paid leave per birth, surrogacy, adoption or foster placement and will be reimbursed for eligible adoption expenses up to $10,000. And it’s this mix of industry leading employee programs and benefits packages that resonate with employees like Health Services Senior Manager Deborah Smith. “This kind of support really is life-changing for some people,” said Smith. “It’s about being your true authentic self and living a healthier, happier life.” And she wants more people to know about it. “Boeing is playing an active role in our society by supporting employees like this and creating diverse, inclusive workplaces where people feel safe and welcome at work.” By Jason Capeheart and Rachel Ayres Next Story in Our Commitment Loaned 737 employees welcomed across multiple programs More Stories in Our Commitment Boeing recognized as one of the best adoption-friendly workplaces in US Boeing suspends 737 MAX production starting in January due to certification moving into 2020 First 767 built in 3-a-month rate increase enters final assembly Boeing continues support of veterans with $10.4 million in charitable grants Boeing delivers first P-8A Poseidon to United Kingdom’s Royal Air Force Boeing retirees learn latest about 737 MAX at annual Puget Sound gathering	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0014.json.gz/line3571

WILLIAM MATHEWS, LL.D., AUTHOR OF “GETTING ON IN THE WORLD,” “ORATORY AND ORATORS,” Die Sprache ist nichts anderes als der in die Erscheinung tretende Gedanke und beide sind innerlich nur eins und dasselbe.—Becker. SCOTT, FORESMAN AND COMPANY Copyright, 1876, By S. C. GRIGGS AND COMPANY. Language and thought are inseparable. Words without thought are dead sounds; thoughts without words are nothing. To think is to speak low; to speak is to think aloud. The word is the thought incarnate.—Max Müller. A winged word hath struck ineradically in a million hearts, and envenomed every hour throughout their hard pulsation. On a winged word hath hung the destiny of nations. On a winged word hath human wisdom been willing to cast the immortal soul, and to leave it dependent for all its future happiness.—W. S. Landor. Words are things; and a small drop of ink, falling like dew upon a thought, produces that which makes thousands, perhaps millions, think.—Byron. A dead language is full of all monumental remembrances of the people who spoke it. Their swords and their shields are in it; their faces are pictured on its walls; and their very voices ring still through its recesses.—B. W. Dwight. Every sentence of the great writer is like an autograph.... If Milton had endorsed a bill of exchange with half-a-dozen blank-verse lines, it would be as good as his name, and would be accepted as good evidence in court.—Alexander Smith. If there be a human talent, let it get into the tongue, and make melody with that organ. The talent that can say nothing for itself, what is it? Nothing; or a thing that can do mere drudgeries, and at best make money by railways.—Carlyle. Human language may be polite and powerless in itself, uplifted with difficulty into expression by the high thoughts it utters, or it may in itself become so saturated with warm life and delicious association that every sentence shall palpitate and thrill with the mere fascination of the syllables.—T. W. Higginson. Accustom yourself to reflect on the words you use, hear, or read, their birth, derivation, and history. For if words are not things, they are living powers, by which the things of most importance to mankind are actuated, combined, and harmonized.—Coleridge. Words possess an endless, indefinable, tantalizing charm. They paint humanity in its thoughts, longings, aspirations, struggles, failures—paint it upon a canvas of breath, in the colors of life.—Anon. Ye know not what hurt ye do to Learning, that care not for Words, but for Matter, and so make a Divorce betwixt the Tongue and the Heart.—Ascham. Let him who would rightly understand the grandeur and dignity of speech, meditate on the deep mystery involved in the revelation of the Lord Jesus as the Word of God.—F. W. Farrar. Words are lighter than the cloud foam Of the restless ocean spray; Vainer than the trembling shadow That the next hour steals away; By the fall of summer rain-drops Is the air as deeply stirred; And the rose leaf that we tread on Will outlive a word. Yet on the dull silence breaking With a lightning flash, a word, Bearing endless desolation On its blighting wings, I heard. Earth can forge no keener weapon, Dealing surer death and pain, And the cruel echo answered Through long years again. I have known one word hang star-like O’er a dreary waste of years, And it only shone the brighter Looked at through a mist of tears, While a weary wanderer gathered Hope and heart on life’s dark way, By its faithful promise shining Clearer day by day. I have known a spirit calmer Then the calmest lake, and clear As the heavens that gazed upon it. With no wave of hope or fear; But a storm had swept across it. And its deepest depths were stirred. Never, never more to slumber. Only by a word. Adelaide A. Procter. Find all posts by Froggy By mid-July, Mosby had been promoted to lieutenant colonel and had a total strength of around 300 men, divided into five companies. His younger brother, William Mosby, had joined him and was acting as his adjutant. He now had four guns, all twelve-pounders—two howitzers, the Napoleon and a new rifle, presented to him by Jubal Early. He had a compact, well-disciplined and powerful army-in-miniature. After the Union defeat at Kernstown, Early moved back to the lower end of the Shenandoah Valley, and McCausland went off on his raid in to Pennsylvania, burning Chambersburg in retaliation for Hunter's burnings at Lexington and Buchanan in Virginia. Following his customary practice, Mosby made a crossing at another point and raided into Maryland as far as Adamstown, skirmishing and picking up a few prisoners and horses. Early's invasion of Maryland, followed as it was by McCausland's sack of Chambersburg, was simply too much for the Union command. The Shenandoah situation had to be cleaned up immediately, and, after some top-echelon dickering, Grant picked Phil Sheridan to do the cleaning. On August 7, Sheridan assumed command of the heterogeneous Union forces in the Shenandoah and began welding them into an army. On the 10th, he started south after Early, and Mosby, who generally had a good idea of what was going on at Union headquarters, took a small party into the valley, intending to kidnap the new commander as he had Stoughton. Due mainly to the vigilance of a camp sentry, the plan failed, but Mosby picked up the news that a large wagon train was being sent up the valley, and he decided to have a try at this. On the evening of the 12th, he was back in the valley with 330 men and his two howitzers. Spending the night at a plantation on the right bank of the Shenandoah River, he was on the move before daybreak, crossing the river and pushing toward Berryville, with scouts probing ahead in the heavy fog. One of the howitzers broke a wheel and was pushed into the brush and left behind. As both pieces were of the same caliber, the caisson was taken along. A lieutenant and fifteen men, scouting ahead, discovered a small empty wagon train, going down the valley in the direction of Harper's Ferry, and they were about to attack it when they heard, in the distance, the rumbling of many heavily loaded wagons. This was the real thing. They forgot about the empty wagons and hastened back to Mosby and the main force to report. Swinging to the left to avoid premature contact with the train, Mosby hurried his column in the direction of Berryville. On the way, he found a disabled wagon, part of the north-bound empty train, with the teamster and several infantrymen sleeping in it. These were promptly secured, and questioning elicited the information that the south-bound train consisted of 150 wagons, escorted by 250 cavalry and a brigade of infantry. Getting into position on a low hill overlooking the road a little to the east of Berryville, the howitzer was unlimbered and the force was divided on either side of it, Captain Adolphus Richards taking the left wing and Sam Chapman the right. Mosby himself remained with the gun. Action was to be commenced with the gun, and the third shot was to be the signal for both Richards and Chapman to charge. At just the right moment, the fog lifted. The gun was quickly laid on the wagon train and fired, the first shot beheading a mule. The second shell hit the best sort of target imaginable—a mobile farrier's forge. There was a deadly shower of horseshoes, hand-tools and assorted ironmongery, inflicting casualties and causing a local panic. The third shell landed among some cavalry who were galloping up, scattering them, and, on the signal, Richards and Chapman charged simultaneously. Some infantry at the head of the train met Richards with a volley, costing him one man killed and several wounded and driving his charge off at an angle into the middle of the train. The howitzer, in turn, broke up the infantry. Chapman, who had hit the rear of the train, was having easier going: his men methodically dragged the teamsters from their wagons, unhitched mules, overturned, looted and burned wagons. The bulk of the escort, including the infantry, were at the front of the train, with Richards' men between them and Chapman. Richards, while he had his hands full with these, was not neglecting the wagons, either, though he was making less of a ceremony of it. A teamster was shot and dragged from his wagon-seat, a lighted bundle of inflammables tossed into the wagon, and pistols were fired around the mules' heads to start them running. The faster they ran, the more the flames behind them were fanned, and as the wagon went careening down the road, other wagons were ignited by it. By 8 a. m., the whole thing was over. The escort had been scattered, the wagons were destroyed, and the victors moved off, in possession of 500-odd mules, thirty-six horses, about 200 head of beef cattle, 208 prisoners, four Negro slaves who had been forcibly emancipated to drive Army wagons, and large quantities of supplies. In one of the wagons, a number of violins, probably equipment for some prototype of the U.S.O., were found; the more musically inclined guerrillas appropriated these and enlivened the homeward march with music.

__label__wiki	0.682338	0.682338	Posted on March 29, 2012 by Ken Steinhoff Librarians Vogelsang and Wilkening Cape Central High librarians Mildred Vogelsang, left, and Bonnie Wilkening work on a stack of Plato’s The Republic. In case you’ve forgotten, The Republic is a Socratic dialogue written around 380 BC concerning the definition of justice and the order and character of the just city-state and the just man. I’d like to tell you that I knew that off the top of my head, but that’s why Al Gore invented the Internet. (Click on any photo to make it larger.) Who will take the pictures? Both women signed my 1965 Girardot yearbook. I got a “Best Wishes” from Mrs. Wilkening, but Miss Vogelsang penned, “I shall miss you, Kenny. Who will take the pictures?” The short answer to that question was the young whippersnapper who followed me: Richard Neal, Tom Hopen, Skip Stiver and Steve Trickey, but I thank her for asking. A Google search for information about Bonnie Wilkening came up pretty dry. There was a Missourian Sept. 29, 1999, feature, a collection of “You’re from Swampeast Missouri if…” contest entries that included a Bonnie Wilkening contribution, “You update your white styrofoam dice hanging on the rear view mirror of your car to fluorescent orange.” I don’t know if it’s the same person. Miss Vogelsang died in 1997 The Missourian’s Oct. 31, 1997, obit reported that Mildred Wilhemina Vogelsang, 87, a former teacher, librarian and historian, died Wednesday, Oct. 29, 1997, at Cape Girardeau Residential Care Center. She was born Feb. 7, 1910, in Cape Girardeau, daughter of Henry H. and Hermena Christine Geldmacher Vogelsang. Vogelsang [This is a departure from the obituary style we followed in my day. We would have used Miss Vogelsang.] was a graduate of Southeast Missouri State University, and received a master’s degree in library science from Vanderbilt University in 1946. She was a teacher in Cape Girardeau Public Schools from 1934-43, then was librarian at Central High School until 1972. In 1953 she served as president of School Librarians of Southeast Missouri District when it was first organized. She worked on the curriculum committee in the State Department of Education to prepare a Guide for School Libraries. She served as the president of the Missouri Library Association in 1967. Vogelsang served three terms as trustee of Cape Girardeau Public Library, had been librarian with Historical Association of Greater Cape Girardeau, and was an historian of Old Lorimier Cemetery. She was a member of St. Andrew Lutheran Church. Survivors include a nephew, James Vogelsang of Cape Girardeau; and a niece, Jane Schueltz of Toledo, Ohio.

Brad Brune says: I didn’t realize James (Squirrel) Vogelsang was Miss Vogelsang’s nephew. Of course there was a “lot” that went over my head back then. BB. Jane Neumeyer says: Lovely, helpful woman. Mary Lou Brown says: I got detention because I couldn’t keep my mouth shut in study hall. That was 9th grade. By 12th grade I was a library assistant. Guess they didn’t hold that talking thing against me. Hank says: I receive the monthly newsletter from the Evangelical United Church of Christ in Cape. As of the March newsletter Bonnie Wilkening was still alive, but was house bound. Jim Luckett says: My Jr High principal’s name was Donald Vogelsang. Not a common name. Mr. Vogelsang ,as we all called him,was a WW2 POW.Very stern. Jim Luckett jack ronner says: Just a shot in the dark: are you the Jim Luckett who lived in Berkeley, California in the mid 70’s? I recollect him being from Terre Haute originally, then moving to Cape G. later in life, but just in case you’re my old friend, get in touch! Failing that, perhaps you might know him or his family? Thanks. I believe Mrs. Wilkening was librarian when I attended Schultz School for 7th grade. Jane Vogelsang Schuetz says: My Aunt Mil was a wonderful person… plus an excellent librarian. I can remember growing up Aunt Mil spent 12 months a year working in the library. She wanted the library at CHS to be one of the best in the state of Missouri, and it was. KAREN WEBB MCCLENDON says: I WORKED IN THE LIBRARY DURING SOME OF MY STUDY HOURS WITH MISS VOGELSANG AND MRS. WILKENING. I WORKED ON THE PERIODICALS AND FIXING SOME OF THE BOOKS THAT NEEDED REPAIR. tHEY WERE BOTH WONDERFUL AND DEDICATED LADIES.

II - Il deserto e le fabbriche Posted by Arnaldo Pontis (@) Industrial Music / Industrial Metal / Aggro Industrial / Electro Metal Artist: Hermetic Brotherhood of Lux-Or (@) Title: Ethnographies vol. II - Il deserto e le fabbriche Format: 2 x CD (double CD) Label: Trasponsonic records (@) Distributor: Trasponsonic This island where I live never ceases to amaze me for the richness and creativity of its musical offerings. Especially into our scene of industrial and electronic music, which usually is thought to be restricted and much less busy than other musical genres. What I present is in fact another excellent production of Trasponsonic Records (http://www.trasponsonic.net) a small and interesting independent Italian (and Sardinian) label which turns out to be a source of unexpected little gems of sound. Trasponsonic is little, but very active. The label is founded by our friend and musician Mirko Santoru, that keeps it well hidden into his shelter based in Macomer (a small town in the internal territory of our Sardinia). But sometimes, from this "buen retiro", Mirko with Trasponsonic and his band of musicians seem suddenly exploding, in the silence of the countryside around, all the crash of masterpieces like this album which is titled "Il deserto e le fabbriche' (in english: the desert and factories). This new work is signed by the collective sound project called HBOL (acronym of Hermetic Brotherhood Of Lux-Or) involving different musicians and performers (in this record appears the names of Campostorto, Miroslaw, Varrs, Tonj). The work is also the second chapter of an interesting anthology entitled "Ethnographies - Musee de l'Homme Hermetique'. We'll tell you immediately what I think. This double cd "Il deserto e le fabbriche", the first time I've listen it, surprise me like 'a couple of punches in the nose when the guard is low...!' Because all of its tracks have real musically force inside, have roughness and hardness, sound tribal and industrial at the same time. Are not surely easy to listening. But also are not easy to forget. And this strange feeling 'after listening' left me by the sounds and the noises of Hermetic Brotherhood Of Lux-Or is a really positive sensation was actually difficult to find, for me, even into the works of many groups of gray-area are surely most famous and popular of them. This disc breaks the nasal septum. And we bleed for its sounds but also for the important substance that contains, really conceptual and dense. The two CDs are in fact marked by a boundary line that is well described in the cover notes. The first disc is cryptically subtitled as "Jesus And John Wayne" and i read into that, and I seem to hear, all the red hot sounds of the desert and together all the sand in the eyes during a long ride through the American wild west. This sand in the eyes, for us, is the same Grand Canyon's red earth to get dirty and covered everything. Wagons, horses, cowboys and Indians. That sand was also a mirage and a dream, for us Italians. The sand of the myth of the great wild frontier, as seen through the innocent eyes of our little Italy. A distant mediterranean's country that was fed for a long time with the utopic imaginary by '60s western movies or with the fake and simple optimism of that classic 'american way of life' ever in black and white. The second disc, entitled equally cryptic "... and Justice for Hollywood" takes us back to a different imaginary. A sub-urban and actual imaginary compound from other deserts of metal and dust. The urban deserts of much industrial archeology close to our cities. The inert metal of abandoned and disused factories and assembly lines broken. The place of human labor that have been broken by the unbridled capitalism that destroys men during its run, destroys cultures and ideas, leaving only rubble behind. Another imaginary, probably common to many provinces of the Western empire. Imagery that is common in this Sardinia Italy, and this affected by industrial decline like some poor distant provinces of the country which was certainly the most heavily industrialized long ago. The other conceptual element that characterizes all the works published by Trasponsonic is, in my opinion, its search for a new road. A road which is sound but it is also philosophical, to a neo-pagan mystical and anthropomorphic, combined with the primitive tribalism. Concepts that reinforce with the use of the raw material of the primordial elements, in a mixture of men and earth, water, air and fire. United by sound and noise. Perhaps these aspects of his philosophy more intimate would be enough to urge you to look and buy this gem, which you can order directly online at Trasponsonic that sells and distributes on its web site all its work. But if philosophy is not enough you know that the sounds that come from this research are certainly no less profound. The two discs have a feeling old, long ago, but vital, modern and close to us. Almost hear them breathing and panting beside us. All the tracks seem filled with a sound that is tribal and violent. Sound that is material but also dreamy and distant. Sound hard and blood, near and maternal at the same time. This sound is a alien mantis, made of flesh and metal, which feeds on your blood and surrounds you giving you his warm milk. Even the best trained ears to the post-industrial sound could be damaged hearing songs like "Hyperion Sunset" or "Gravity Sucks" contained in the first cd "Jesus And John Wayne" that could be called a disturbing and dark 'avant-psychedelic rock'. But you'll easily attracted by things that remind us that the best Current 93 chant mantras and eastern litanies with other sounds and atmospheres worthy of the best 'spaghetti westerns' with a soundtrack by Morricone. If you open the second cd and listen to songs like "Violet Pride" and "Red Rage" will find stunning examples of epic tribal and industrial noise. But I doubt any free resist coming to the end of the last half hour of apotheosis song called "Yellow Avaritia". Because there are tracks in this record that sound like the Laibach, the Trobbing Gristle, and the Zero Kama with the Kranioklast had gathered, all together, inside a deep cave to play steel pipes and human hollow bones. And I must also tell you that the Hermetic Brotherhood of Lux-Or the sound really hollow bones! I saw them live in a M.S. Miroslav, and struck a magnificent skull of horse he assembled and electronically modified with effects and pick-ups to transform it into a modern electro-noise amplifier instrument. I will stop here. And I want to use. to close this review, the words of Julian Cope, the well-known musician, who arrived here in Sardinia thanks to his passion for archeology of prehistoric megalithic that our land is rich. Cope has discovered the charm and sonority of the work of Trasponsonic and he on his website defines this disc enthusiastically in this way: ... a severe form of Kosmische Musik.... utter vocaleptic brainstorms, eternal drumclatter, caveholler, lo-lo-fi Neu 2-style thrash, epic sub-Faust mung worship and seething half-hour-long Zoroastrian ambulence of the dark stasis variety...	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0014.json.gz/line3584
__label__wiki	0.613703	0.613703	VROMB: �pisodes Posted by Alex "The Butterman" Experimental / Avantgarde / Weird & Wired / Glitch / Noise / Field Recording Edit (102) Artist: VROMB Title: �pisodes Label: Ant-Zen (@) Distributor: Ant-Zen The long overdue and highly anticipated new full-length album by Montréal's very Vromb is finally available. Once again released by Ant-Zen Records, "Épisodes" takes the good Doctor Heurel "Glugloïde" Gaudot's scientific experiments one step further. "Épisodes"'s theme is somewhat blurred to those not yet familiar with Vromb's natural proggression and evolution. While Hugo Girard provides all sonic and audio excursions, his mechanical and electronic renderings are also based on and using recorded voice tapes by Dr. Gaudot. Seperated into four main episodes (each including four pieces), and sandwitched between a prologue ("Le Thème") and an epilogue ("Générique"), the format prooves to be quite the sonic journey. Once the album begins with "Le Thème", we are off into an introspective audio excursion which comes to and fro the background of audible/unaudible sound. The first episode is called "Vision Stoboscopique" and quickly puts the listener into the right frame of mind. An introductory segment by Dr. Gaudot is followed by static intermissions and rhythm-heavy experimentalism. Episode two is "Le Temps À Vitèsse Variable" and features a difficult yet precisely executed mixture between a slow-moving synthscape and frantic speeded sequencing compositions. Only Vromb can try and succeed at this! Next comes "L'objet Synchronisateur", the third episode. By this time, both the listener and Dr. Gausot are getting into deep sounds, each wave segways into another electronic movement. The fourth and final episode, "Mouvement Multiplicatif" prooves to be the most experimental of them all, with sounds multiplying themsleves (as the title of the episode suggests) to a mass of deep, dense electronic drones and rhythms. We close off the episodes with "Générique", which basically serves as the end titles sections, if this CD was in fact a motion picture. While a few other Vromb fans have told me they were left unsatisfied with "Épisodes", I find the CD to be enjoyable for the most part. As always, Vromb's sound is constantly evolving, so perhaps the subtle changes from release to release isn't as tantalising to certain fans as it may be to Vromb himself. As for myself, I found "Épisodes" to be as good, if not superior to some of his previous work. Released in three formats: a) Generic jewel plastic case/regular packaging b) Metal sliver box, which a bonus 5" vinyl record which includes two unreleased pieces ("Cercle" and "Cylindre"). This specially-sized vinyl record will not play on automatic turn tables. c) Deluxe full-sized triple vinyl LP in heavy-duty carboard box packaging. The four main episode segments are featured on the two 12" records, while the intro ("Le Thème") and prologue ("Générique") are seperated onto a third, 7" record. Again, the artwork and visual graphic design was perfectly executed by Bio-Z, mixing the tones of grey, silver, and black in perfect unison. VROMB: INTERL�DER Title: INTERL�DER Label: Pflichtkauf Distributor: Pflichtkauf Hugo Girard, the main human element behind the project Vromb, has had various delays and setbacks concerning the release of his latest full-length album. As his fans became more and more impatient, Hugo decided to release a 40 minute EP (of sorts) featuring 5 new pieces, exclusive to this release. I was personally warned by Girard himself that the tracks contained in "Interlüder" featured some of his more commercially-viable/user-friendly material to date. Heeding the warning, I carefully immersed myself in another Vromb environment, quickly figuring out why Hugo labeled his own CD as "more commercial". It appears the ever-evolving Vromb has decided to try a crack at generic and club-oriented basic rhythm patterns. Has he succeeded? It all depends on the listener's point of view. I can't speak for other Vromb fans, but the so-called "user-friendly" aspect of this release wasn't prominent through the dense and ever-shifting waves of electronic ambiences, sequences, and generally high-tech/low-brow to actually merit a specific labelling. Granted, folks who did not like Vromb's "shift" between his first and second albums will probably not be too impressed by "Interlüder", but if you enjoy the repetitive techno "thump" with your electro-insectoïdal drones, then you'll be in Vromb paradise with this release. Seperated in two blocks, the five pieces of this CD are at times similar to each other (in terms of basic structuration) , yet retain enough unique originality to be easily identifyable between each other. A deffinite must for all Vromb fans, and highly recommended as a starting point if you are not yet familiar with the Vromb sound. My personnal highlight is the minimal "Carnaval", which reminds this reviewer of a distant and mechanical re-interpretation of the carnavals in Rio. CHRONIC REMORSE: THE SHORTWAVE RADIO APPRECIATION SOCIETY (1992-95) Artist: CHRONIC REMORSE (@) Title: THE SHORTWAVE RADIO APPRECIATION SOCIETY (1992-95) Label: Apogee Recordings / The Ceiling (@) Distributor: The Ceiling + Wreck Age THis wonderful little CD packaged in a simple yet highly effective (and postage-friendly) pouch concists mainly of of older recordings, originally released on "The 731 Doorways" cassette, from The Ceiling (ex-DDT). One piece ("Sonic Recourse") was previously released on the "Xcreteria volume one" compilation tape, and another ("Basements") was released both on the "Anathemata" compilation tape and later as a re-worked version on the band's "A Grainy Shade Of Ambient" 12" EP. One piece ("Bubonic Horse") is previously unreleased. Essentially, those who missed out on the limited print run of "The 731 Doorways" cassette can get up to speed with this CD, while those who were lucky enough to get a copy of the original tape will find that the sound quality as well as the "bonus material" on this CD is superior to that of the original cassette. Perhaps the mixing was performed slightly different, affecting thus the final sound. CHRONIC REMORSE was Paul Verman and Jim DeJong. If I'm not mistaken, they both decided to release "studio" material after a few live performances which prooved the dynamic between the two was right. In any case, "The Short Wave Appreciation Society" offers the listener very eerie and dark oscillating sound waves, textures, and alot of noise processing and, yes, radio transmissions. A difficult listen but well rewarded with originality and energy. Much harsher when compared to the "A Grainy Shade Of Ambient" EP, yet the movement and audio texture push this release beyond the realm of pure harsh noise, yet will please fans of the later who are open-minded about their noise. LENS CLEANER TRIO: C.D. + Lens Cleaner Artist: LENS CLEANER TRIO (@) Title: C.D. + Lens Cleaner Label: THE CEILING (@) This odd vinyl record LP comes courtesy of THE CEILING records, one of Canada's buisiest and more interesting independant electronic-oriented labels. The LENS CLEANER TRIO is Jose Marchi on guitars, Marcelo Aguirre on drums and voices, and finally C.D. who provided the synthesis and montage for this release. "C.D. + Lens Cleaner" is a very different and hard to categorise release, even for a label as diverse as THE CEILING. As far as this reviewer's ears can make out, live improvised sessions were first recorded, then heavily processed and mixed in the studio, creating thus a very experimental and electronic-sounding record, even if the main instrumentation consists of drums and guitar. Perhaps the best and generally safest way to describe this record is a very heavily 70s space-rock influenced record which also plunges head first in today's modern noise and illbient textures. There are portions of this release which are stronger than others, but if the weak spots are indeed making themselves present, they usually don't last for very long. My personnaly favorite moment is somewhere towards the middle-end of the second side, where a very dense yet relaxing atmopheric wall is created and manipulated. Printed on black vinyl and with a total playing time of about 35-40 minutes, this release is sure to please folks looking for something different and unclasifyable. THE INFANT CYCLE / DRONAEMENT: KLAB (phonorecord) Artist: THE INFANT CYCLE / DRONAEMENT (@) Title: KLAB (phonorecord) Label: THE CEILING / NAUZE MUZICK (@) Distributor: THE CEILING Those who have followed the evolution of the defunct Canadian label DOOMSDAY TRANSMISSIONS will most probably already be familiar with both THE INFANT CYCLE and DRONAEMENT. Even after DDT became THE CEILING records, one could just as easily accept older catalogue items to familiarise themselves with the sound. "KLAB (phonorecord)" is a split release for both projects, as well as each project's respective label. Don't think there is any kind of studio intervention here preventing the bands from releasing their true sonic art. In fact, "KLAB (phonorecord)" is quite a treat to folks who may or may not be fans of either labels/projects. The first side of this vinyl LP features the main sounds of DRONAEMENT (Marcus Murkes), with some added material by TIC (Jim DeJong). The two long tracks on this side ("ER-9 Noise Transmission.wav" and "33 1/3 rpm Acoustic Transmission.wav") flow easily and indiscernably into one another, creating thus a 20 minute audio soundscape of soft-like and textured digital ambience, with some semblance of rhythms poking in here and there for good measure. Perfect late night sleep when there's not too many other noises happening in the vicinity. Side two is credited to THE INFANT CYCLE, yet the line-up also prominently features DRONAEMENT contributing as much sound sources as TIC. "I-Meant-A-Drone.pop" features more hazy smoke-filled audio soundscaping, but a cut-up funk beat gets the foreground. This repetitive and somewhat hypnotic rhythm is apparently crafted from "manually altered vinyl", which brings to mind what these "D.J."s in club and hip-hop music are supposed to do... except there is nothing DJ or hip-hop about this piece, and the final result is another late-night jam listening experience, but with a bit more beat to keep thing moving. If you have access to a vinyl/record player and can play it without having too many interuptions, this release is a winner, with top-notch production and great sound quality.

__label__wiki	0.912071	0.912071	Alaska, Minnesota set for key steps in unresolved Senate races U.S. Senate races in Alaska, Minnesota still too close to call Wednesday is deadline for Alaska officials to receive absentee ballots Minnesota officials mull status of rejected ballots for recount Georgia will have runoff election on December 2 Next Article in Politics » (CNN) -- Officials in Alaska, one of three states yet to certify winners in the November 4 U.S. Senate races, say they hope to have nearly all ballots counted on Tuesday. And officials in Minnesota, home of one of the other unresolved races, intend to rule Tuesday whether certain rejected absentee ballots should be considered in a recount scheduled to start Wednesday. In the Alaska race between embattled Republican Sen. Ted Stevens and Democratic challenger Mark Begich, about 24,000 ballots remained to be counted on Tuesday, said the state's elections director, Gail Fenumiai. However, it's possible a few straggling absentee votes might come in Wednesday in time to be added to the tallies. The race drew national attention, especially after Stevens was convicted in October of filing false statements on Senate financial disclosure forms. In early returns in the days after the election, Stevens -- the Senate's longest serving Republican -- held a narrow lead over Begich, who is mayor of Anchorage. But Begich took a slim lead last week as officials sorted some 90,000 additional votes -- nearly a third of all ballots cast in the state. Those votes included about 60,000 absentee ballots, 9,500 early votes and another 20,000 "questioned" or provisional ballots being checking for validity. By Friday, when vote counting was stopped for the weekend, Begich had 47.37 percent of votes counted; Stevens had 47.02 percent. The two were separated by 1,022 votes out of more than 290,000 cast, according to the Alaska Division of Elections Web site. Alaska allows up to 15 days, longer than any other state, after Election Day for absentee ballots to arrive and be counted if they were postmarked by Election Day and mailed from outside the United States. Absentee ballots mailed inside the United States are accepted up to 10 days after the election. Election officials said that schedule was adopted in consideration of Alaska's sprawling geography, sparse population and sometimes spotty mail service in remote areas. "Wednesday is the last day we will accept absentee ballots, but we really don't expect many to come in," Fenumiai said Monday. In Minnesota, vote totals last week showed Republican Sen. Norm Coleman 206 votes ahead of his Democratic challenger, Al Franken. On Tuesday, the secretary of state's canvassing board is scheduled to hear a request by Franken's campaign that certain already-rejected absentee ballots be counted during a statewide hand recount scheduled to start Wednesday. Asked what the campaign plans to do if the board decides it will not count rejected ballots, Franken spokeswoman Colleen Murray said the campaign hasn't ruled out anything, including asking for a postponement of the recount. Georgia is the other state with a Senate race yet to be resolved. Republican Sen. Saxby Chambliss will face Democrat Jim Martin in a December 2 runoff. CNN's Chris Welch contributed to this story.

__label__wiki	0.967041	0.967041	Flight attendant, JetBlue part ways after dramatic exit from plane Flight attendant Steven Slater leaves jail after posting bail on August 10 in Bronx, New York. Steven Slater is no longer employed by JetBlue He is famous for sliding down an emergency chute after an onboard incident Slater pleaded not guilty to reckless endangerment and criminal mischief JetBlue Airways Corporation (CNN) -- A JetBlue flight attendant whose fame took off after his dramatic exit down an emergency chute is is no longer employed by the airline. JetBlue spokeswoman Jenny Dervin told CNN on Saturday that Steven Slater no longer works for the airline. She said that the separation occurred last week, but declined to elaborate how Slater and the company parted ways. Slater became a hero to some after an August incident when, authorities said, he grabbed some beer and triggered an inflatable emergency chute from a plane at a JFK Airport terminal in New York. As of Sunday, Slater had amassed more than 210,000 "fans" on a public Facebook page. The drama on the plane may have started before takeoff. "A number of passengers were competing for overhead carry-on luggage areas," Howard Turman, Slater's attorney, has said. "With great difficulty, they were shoving the bags around, attempting to get it in. Steven came over to assist and either the bag or the overhead (bin door) hit him in the head and at that point he suffered an injury." Turman has also said a woman "started cursing and -- based on the information -- slammed the overhead luggage bin on his head." After various exchanges with the woman and a crew member, some passengers said, he grabbed some beer from the beverage cart before deploying the emergency slide and leaving. Turman has sharply denied a JetBlue passenger's assertion that the flight attendant instigated the confrontation. JetBlue removed Slater from duty following the incident and launched an internal investigation. Slater has pleaded not guilty to charges of reckless endangerment and criminal mischief -- both felonies -- and criminal trespass. If convicted, he could face a maximum of seven years in prison. Slater has a court appearance scheduled for Tuesday. CNN's Allan Chernoff and Tom Watkins contributed to this report.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0014.json.gz/line3591
__label__cc	0.731231	0.268769	Apraxia Ville Application Review At the school where I work, there is quite the incidence of students of students with childhood apraxia of speech and severe phonological delays in Kindergarten and first grade. It is hard to find applications at the right level for each student in particular because some students prefer real-life images and text to animated or illustrated images, even if I am working with a group of students. This can be frustrating as what they really need to work on is the content regardless of context. Therefore, I try to motivate my students in whichever way works the best whether its flashcards, real-life images, an animated application, cues, etc. Apraxia Ville has definitely been a motivating application for my students who prefer animated and illustrated images or need an animated cue of mouth movement on an age-appropriate model instead of staring at my face all of the time. For more information about Apraxia Ville and its use, continue reading. The Main Page of the application has five buttons for different menus - Quick Play, Select Player, Reports and Prizes, Support, and More Games. Pressing the "Support" button at the bottom of the screen shows a pop-up menu with five different options: Restore From iTunes - This will offer the ability to restore previously backed up information from iTunes to the application. Backup iTunes - This will back up application data to iTunes for the ability to restore at any time. Video Tutorial - Allows the user to view a video tutorial of how to use the app. This is offered within the application. You can also view a YouTube video overview below: Facebook - Brings you to Smarty Ears' Facebook page. Contact Smarty Ears - Pressing this brings you to the Mail application so that you may e-mail Smarty Ears for support with the application. Pressing the "More Games" button will bring you to a list of Smarty Ears' iTunes applications to view which additional apps they have for sale and more information about them. Pressing on an application you are interested in will bring you to that app in the iTunes store. Application Play To begin application play, press the "Select Player" button. Make sure you add a student to the application prior to application play by pressing the "New Player" button. Pressing on the blank square that states "Select Picture" will allow the user to choose an avatar, take a photo, or choose a photo from the camera roll to associate with their profile. Then, press within the rectangle below the "Enter Name" text to type via the keyboard. Press "Done" to add the user to the list of player profiles. You can edit profiles later by double tapping on the user's photo. Another way to add user profiles is through importing them via the free Therapy Report Center (TRC) application by Smarty Ears. By pressing this button in the lower left hand corner, you must have the Therapy Report Center application installed already on your iPad. You will be brought to the TRC app to choose a student profile to export into Apraxia Ville. After it has begun importing, return to the Apraxia Ville application. To learn more about Therapy Report Center, visit smartyearsapps.com. Next, you may choose up to four players to use the application at a time. Tap on the profile image(s) of the student(s) you wish to play. A green check mark will appear in the right hand corner of those you choose. There is also a "Settings" button in which you can press the "Modify Word Pool" button in the pop-up menu to choose specific words that can be worked on in the application or create a new image/word combination. This will be discussed later in the review. Once you have chosen the users to play the application, press "Next". A pop-up menu will appear with three activity choices for you to choose between - The Sound Windows, The Farm House, and The Words Farm. You can view more information about each activity by pressing the "i" button in the top right hand corner of the "Choose The Activity" pop-up window. The Sound Windows This activity practices individual phoneme production with visual cues. Press on "The Sound Windows" button to choose this activity. This is for students who are working on phonemes in isolation or in CV words. The first window shows a boy and you can choose a consonant to practice. The second window shows a girl and you can choose a vowel to practice. Press the consonant or vowel itself to view a pop up scroll menu with other consonants or vowels to choose from. Choose the consonant or vowel you want the student to practice. Press the boy or girl's image to view an animation of him or her producing the sound. You will see his or her mouth move in the particular shape of the sound. Press the image a second time to pause the animation. The pepper will move across the line to show at what point the animation is at in its play. If the user would like to view himself or herself making the particular consonant or vowel sound, press the camera button next to the consonant or vowel title. Another great feature within "The Sound Windows" is the fact that the user can press the camera button over the consonant or vowel sound window to cause the front camera to turn on so that he or she can practice his or her sounds as if he or she were looking in a mirror. This activity practices sound sequence within words. After choosing the user(s) to practice using the application, you will be brought to a screen where you must choose what syllable structure and sound types each user will be practicing. Syllable Structures include: Level 1: CV & VC Level 2: CVC Level 3: CVCV Level 4: CCVC Level 5: Bisyllabic Level 6: Three Syllables Level 7: Four Syllables Sound Groups available to choose for each student include the following: /p/, /b/, /m/ /d/, /n/, /t/ /g/, /k/, /h/ /w/ & /j/ /f/ & /v/ /s/ & /z/ /sh/, /ch/, /dg/ /l/ /th/ /r/ /ng/ diphthong Short a Long a Short e Long e Short i Long i Short o Long o Short u Long u You can select more than one grouping for the student as well or tap at the bottom of the screen to use previous settings for the individual. These groupings are disabled for multi-syllabic words. Once you have chosen the syllable structure and sound groups to practice for each student, press the "Next" button which will bring you to the activity. You will see an image of a word in the main doors of the barn with its text below the image. Images are Smarty Ears' own Smarty Symbols graphic art which are used in many other applications including their AAC application Expressive. Above the image, the sound and syllable structure will show. The record button is located on the chimney of the barn which allows the user the opportunity to record each word and play it back by pressing the green play button. The user who is to practice the sounds/word will show a red, yellow, and green button above his or her name/image. Press the green button if the student stated the sounds correctly, yellow if it was approximate, and red if they were produced incorrectly. As you score the students' sound productions, the numbers of correct/approximate/incorrect responses will adjust as fractions. Switch between users by pressing on their different images. Whichever student you select will have the three buttons to record accuracy above them. If you stick with the same user or are only working with one user on his or her own, press the arrow buttons to move between words on the barn doors. Another option to use within The Farm House activity is the window cues. These are the same as from The Sound Windows activity except smaller and without a time bar. You can choose which sounds to use as cues in the windows by pressing on the signs with a consonant or vowel and choosing the one you want on the scroll wheel. Then, press on the girl's or boy's image to see the animation and hear the sound of the phoneme chosen. The Words Farm Once you select this activity, you must choose how many words you want shown on the screen between 2 or 3. After that, the activity will appear with two or three word wheels with images/text depending on how many words you chose there to be. Choose which phoneme you would like each wheel to work on by pressing the top phoneme button and syllable structure by pressing the bottom button. This activity practices words in sequence. To hear the word sequence stated aloud, press the green triangular play button. To hear one individual word, press its image. To switch words, swipe up or down to scroll on the word's wheel. The user who is to practice the sounds/word will show a red, yellow, and green button above his or her name/image. Press the green button if the student stated the sounds correctly, yellow if it was approximate, and red if they were produced incorrectly. As you score the students' sound productions, the numbers of correct/approximate/incorrect responses will adjust as fractions. Switch between users by pressing the arrow button next to the users' image. You can have the user record his or her productions by pressing the red record button and hear them played back by pressing the green triangular button on the right hand side of the screen. Pressing the "Quick Play" button will allow the user to choose one of the three activities described above (The Sound Windows, The Farm House, or The Words Farm) as a single user without the ability to save the data to a user profile. You can still choose the sounds/words to be used like regular application play, except for you cannot modify the word pool. You can also score the students' responses and receive a report to share after the activity has been completed, but it will not be saved to the application. Modify Word Pool To modify the word pool used with your students or add additional words, press the "Settings" button at the bottom of the screen on the "Choose Players" page. You will then see lists of words categorized by sound on the left as well as syllableness at the top of the screen. To scroll through the list of sound groups, swipe up or down on the left hand side of the screen. To choose a syllable structure, just press one of the buttons at the top of the screen or scroll down on the left hand side to view multi-syllabic word options. If there is a certain word you do not want to use due to cultural, individual, or level of difficulty considerations, find the sound group and syllableness that the word is in and then uncheck it. Each word is shown with its image, sound, and syllable structure on the right hand side of the page in a list. You can even choose to "Deselect All" words and only check which ones you wish to use for a particular sound group by tapping on them which will show a green check mark if used. To create your own words, press the "Edit" button on the top right hand side of the page. Then, press the "+" button in the top left hand side of the page. A screen will appear with the title "Add Custom Images". Decide what word you want to add, then tap the square on the sign to add an image associated with the word from the camera roll. Then, type the word below the image via the keyboard. Then, record the word by pressing the red circular "record" button. Press the green triangular "play" button to hear it played back. Next, select the syllable structure associated with the word by pressing within one of the square boxes. After that, choose whether the word focuses on a vowel or consonant. Finally, choose the phoneme associated with the word via a scroll wheel and press the "Add" button to add the word to your Custom Words list. Reports & Homework You can access the "Reports and Homework" page following an activity or from the Main Page. Press the image of the user whose data you wish to view. You will then be shown the user's data with the user's name, date of first session, total number of sessions, and last targeted goal at the top of the screen. Below that information is information with tabs at the top to view specific data for consonants, vowels, syllable structure, or history in general. Consonants - View progress via a bar graph of overall average progress on consonants from application practice. Consonants are categorized by place within the mouth (alveolar, labiodental, etc.). Bars on the graph are shown over the syllable structure they were practiced in on a scale of 0-100%. Vowels - View progress via a bar graph of overall average progress on vowels from application practice. Vowels are categorized by place within the mouth (central, front, back, etc.). Bars on the graph are shown over the syllable structure they were practiced in on a scale of 0-100%. Syllable Structure - View progress via a bar graph of overall average progress on syllable structure from application practice. Each syllable structure has its own bar on a scale of 0-100% History - Pressing this tab will show history for each individual session. Information shown includes the date of the session, duration of the session, number of participants, activity, target phonemes practiced, syllable structure practiced, and accuracy divided into correct, almost, missed, and an overall percentage. Any of these graphs or history can be shared to e-mail, save, or print by pressing the "Share" button. Then choose to open the data in the Therapy Report Center from Smarty Ears or Skitch, Mail, Print, Copy, iBooks, or Google Drive app. Just make sure you have the application you choose to open it in installed with the appropriate permissions and WiFi/3G/4G enabled if needed. Follow the directions of the other application to share the data. To choose a homework page to send home with a student, press the "Homework" sign at the top right hand side of the "Reports & Homework" page. A pop-up window will appear to ask which homework file you want to display. Choose the phoneme to practice on the left hand side and scroll the list to find the phoneme by swiping up/down. Press the square next to the phoneme to place a pepper in the box showing it is selected. Then, choose the syllable structure you want the child to practice the sound in on the right hand side of the window. Press the box next to the syllable structure to select it and have a pepper appear in the box. Finally press the "Open" button once both have been selected correctly. A pre-created homework page will pop-up with blanks for the student name and date followed by the sound and syllable structure being automatically filled in. Words and their corresponding images appear in boxes on each homework page. There may be multiple pages for your sound/syllable structure. You can then share the pages by pressing the "Share" button at the top right hand corner of the application. Either open the homework pages in one of the following apps - Skitch, Mail, Print, Copy, iBooks, or Google Drive - or have the Mail or Print pop-up window appear. Then, all you have to do is send it on home with your student! What I Like About This Application: There are three different motivating activities to play. The entire application has a farm theme with windows, pages, backgrounds, activities, buttons, and more staying within the theme. The fact that you are able to share progress in ways other than through e-mail takes into account different therapists' ways of using the data given following use of the application. It's even better with multiple profiles being saved as well as the use of Therapy Report Center. You can customize the application to fit your clients' needs by adding words relevant to his or her everyday life to practice. Having the video tutorial within the application makes it so that the user can learn visually and auditorily how to use it, plus the user does not have to search for the video or tutorial online. Being able to view animations of children's faces as they make different sounds in "The Sound Windows" and being able to slide to different spots within a sound or digraph makes the application more relatable and focuses the user on correct placement of sounds. There are so many different levels to practice sounds at which makes the application perfect to use with students at different levels of practice from phonemes in isolation to four syllable words! Sound sequencing between words is not an aspect that many apraxia applications take into consideration which makes this application more desireable to the consumer. The fact that homework has already been prepared for the speech-language pathologist to print and send home reduces the amount of time spent trying to find appropriate homework. I absolutely love the different bar graphs showing specific information about the client's practice on the application! It makes life a lot easier! It is phonemenal that the user can switch between animations of characters stating different sounds and use of the front facing camera for the user to practice making his or her sounds with correct articulatory placement! What I Would Like to See in Future Updates: A couple of the animations of mouth movement for "The Sound Windows" seem a tad bit off. For the /f/ sound, the teeth are not shown on the child's lip and the /s/ sound should have the child's lips/teeth be a bit more elongated and unrounded (not a huge difference between the /s/ and /sh/). It took me a while to figure out how to add my own images/words to the list because I wasn't aware that pressing the "Edit" then the "+" button was for that function. I think I figured that "Edit" was to delete words or change the images for the pictures already pre-installed. It might be nice to have this option a little less hidden. Therapy Use: Apraxia of Speech: This application is intended to be used with students who have apraxia of speech. See all of my notes above as to how to use the application with these students. Articulation: Choose the students' articulation sound to focus on in "The Farm House" activity. You can also choose the syllable structure to practice the sound in or to practice sounds in blends by choosing the CCVC syllable structure in "The Farm House" activity as well. If the student is working at the phoneme level, "The Sound Windows" activity is perfect for that student. Fluency: If there are specific sounds that are difficult for a student with a fluency disorder to produce, you can choose that sound to focus on beginning of the word in "The Farm House" activity. Use techniques such as easy onset with various consonant/vowel combinations in "The Sound Windows" or "The Farm House" activities. In addition, if a student is having difficulty producing multisyllabic words or word sequences, use "The Farm House" or "The Words Farm" activity. Apraxia Ville is available on the iPad for $29.99.

__label__wiki	0.800561	0.800561	Editorial Plan Orbital ATK Demos Common Fuze for Medium Caliber Ammunition 19.07.2017 North America Orbital ATK gave a close up look at the effectiveness of the company’s common fuze capability for medium caliber ammunition fired from its Bushmaster® Chain Gun® family during a demonstration at the company’s Bushmaster User Conference at Big Sandy Range, Arizona. Orbital ATK’s common fuze ammunition, used with its M230 Link Fed Bushmaster Chain Gun integrated onto a variety of combat vehicle systems, will appear on an all new episode of “GunnyTime with R. Lee Ermey” on the Outdoor Channel beginning July 19th. “The common fuze used in our ammunition demonstrated its effectiveness and reliability as witnessed by our customers and partners on the range,” said Dan Olson, Vice President and General Manager of the Armament Systems Division of Orbital ATK’s Defense Systems Group. “Creating highly-reliable and safe fuzing for a variety of ammunition and weapons is one of our company’s strengths - and it was shown firsthand,” he added. The developmental common fuze approach was successfully demonstrated in a variety of applications, including the company’s proprietary Programmable Air Burst Munition (PABM) for both 30mm and 40mm ammunition. Once qualified, the Orbital ATK common fuze will support all requirements for point-detonating, point-detonating with delay, proximity and air-bursting. In addition to the flexibility of a single fuze for multiple ammunition types, the new fuze will bring increased reliability and reduced production costs due to the economies of scale. Orbital ATK is developing a number of new ammunition types through its advanced ammunition initiatives. This includes the 40mm PABM cartridge and an entire Super 40mm family of ammunition to include Target Practice with Tracer, High Explosive Incendiary with Tracer and an Armor Penetrating Fin Stabilized Discarding Sabot with Tracer Round. The company is also developing an advanced proximity-fuzing capability for a new round that will provide the company’s M230 Chain Gun with improved sensing of target signatures in high-clutter environments, combined with an air-bursting capability. The company will demonstrate the proximity round during the 2018 Bushmaster User Conference next spring. Orbital ATK’s Defense Systems Group is an industry leader in providing innovative and affordable precision and strike weapons, advanced propulsion and hypersonics, missile components across air-, sea- and land-based systems, ammunition and related energetic products. Orbital ATK is a global leader in aerospace and defense technologies. The company designs, builds and delivers space, defense and aviation systems for customers around the world, both as a prime contractor and merchant supplier. Its main products include launch vehicles and related propulsion systems; missile products, subsystems and defense electronics; precision weapons, armament systems and ammunition; satellites and associated space components and services; and advanced aerospace structures. Headquartered in Dulles, Virginia, Orbital ATK employs approximately 13,000 people in 18 states across the U.S. and in several international locations.

__label__wiki	0.759528	0.759528	Rush Limbaugh: Pigman or Prince of Propaganda? In a story by "Proglegs" at the Dailykos.com, "Limbaugh Thinking About Divorcing Cumulus Radio," we start a series on one of the most infamous and influential propagandists for Conservatives since...well, pick one... "Could divorce #4 be on the horizon? "According to a story on Politico, Rush Limbaugh is considering ending his marriage with Cumulus Media at the end of this year. "Cumulus airs the Rush Limbaugh Show on 40 stations across the country--many of them monitored by the Flush Rush Facebook community--including WABC in New York City. "The report came from 'a source close to the show,' who claims that Limbaugh 'is considering the move because Cumulus CEO Lew Dickey has blamed the company's advertising losses on Limbaugh's controversial remarks about Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown law student.' "The source continued "'It’s a very serious discussion, because Dickey keeps blaming Rush for his own revenue problems. Dickey’s talk stations underperform talk stations owned by other operators in generating revenue by a substantial margin. It’s not a single show issue... it’s a failure of the entire station. And trying to blame Rush for that is not much of a business partnership.' "Dickey has been refreshingly forthright about the challenges his company has faced in retaining advertisers since Limbaugh spent 3 days calling Georgetown student Sandra Fluke a 'slut' and demanding she put videos of herself having sex online. In March he admitted that a full year after the attack Cumulus was still feeling the effects: "'Clearly, it's been well documented that the talk side has been challenged. Most of that due to some of the issues that happened a year ago and so there has been residual hangover on the talk side in terms of advertisers sitting out and not placing there. "'Clearly that's had an impact not only on our network business [at Cumulus Media Networks], but it's had an impact on some of the news talk stations that we own. "Neither Cumulus nor Clear Channel Media (the latter of whom airs the Rush Limbaugh Show on nearly 600 stations) had any comment about Limbaugh's potential departure. "The truth of the matter is, Rush Limbaugh's schtick has become toxic for talk radio, and he's simply trying to blame everyone around him for the failure of his once successful business model. It's his fault. "It's also worth noting that Cumulus has scheduled a conference call for Tuesday to announce its first quarter earnings. Could Limbaugh's team be trying to get out ahead of a potential decision by Cumulus to cut their losses and flush Rush? "The StopRush movement has been working for more than a year now to hold Rush Limbaugh accountable for the damaging content of his show and has helped convince more than 2,600 advertisers to withdraw their ads. Find out how you can help after the jump. "Decent folks who believe in tolerance and equality are no longer powerless against Limbaugh's efforts to spread intolerance on the radio. StopRush is making a major impact by convincing advertisers on this show to withdraw their ads--and with your help we can do even more. Just a few emails, tweets, or Facebook messages a week to Limbaugh's advertisers can go a long way toward making hatred less profitable. It is our collective voice that makes us strong. "Want to do something hold Limbaugh accountable? "Join StopRush!

More from Sodahead.com, "Citing A $100 Million Dollar Loss In 2012, Radio Industry Says Rush Limbaugh Bad For Business.": "It's been one year since Rush Limbaugh's invective-filled tirade against then-Georgetown Law student Sandra Fluke. With hundreds of advertisers and millions of dollars lost, the business of right-wing radio is suffering, but Rush Limbaugh continues to act as if it were business as usual, which is why Limbaugh is still bad for business. "On February 29, 2012, Rush Limbaugh initiated a three-day smear campaign against Sandra Fluke, launching 46 personal attacks against her. This moment and Limbaugh's subsequent refusal to apologize for, or even acknowledge, all but two of those attacks put the spotlight on the right-wing talk business model that Limbaugh helped construct. "During the following weeks, headlines tracked in near real-time the names of advertisers exiting Limbaugh's show as pundits and natterers speculated about Limbaugh's future. As so often happens, the buzz faded and the news cycle rolled on. But the consequences didn't fade, they intensified. This is due in large part to scores of independent organizers, like the Flush Rush and the #StopRush community. "Rush Limbaugh's recklessness damaged the radio industry and the business of conservative talk. "When advertisers began fleeing from his program, Limbaugh dismissed the losses as akin to losing a 'couple of French fries' and insisted that 'nobody is losing any money here.' This position seemed less tenable after Limbaugh employed the services of a crisis manager to handle the fallout, and the right-wing talker's protestations were proven false once financial reports started rolling in. "For example, Cumulus Media, a radio company that carries Limbaugh's show in 38 markets, reported millions of dollars in lost revenue and attributed the losses in part to the Limbaugh advertiser fallout. Dial Global, a radio syndication company, reported roughly $100 million in losses for 2012 and publicly cited Limbaugh as a significant contributing factor. "At a Talkers forum last year, Norm Pattiz, CEO of Courtside Entertainment, summed up the destructive effect Limbaugh has had on the entire industry, noting that a 'tremendous chunk of advertising revenue was wiped out in terms of support for national talk radio programs.' Pattiz added that 'the movement in talk radio to some degree is moving away from conservative talk radio and into other genres.' "Despite continued rebukes by advertisers, and seemingly without regard for the damage he is causing, Rush Limbaugh adds to the problem by proceeding as if it were business as usual. "Last July, Limbaugh argued that feminism is 'ruining women' and asserted that feminism was established so that 'unattractive women' could have 'easier access to the mainstream.' In September, Limbaugh warned that men's penises are shrinking and blamed 'feminazis' and 'chickification.' "Last month, Limbaugh inexplicably claimed 'African-Americans today can be convinced that they are still slaves.' He also launched a series of slavery-based attacks on Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee, wondering if Jackson Lee had 'outlived her usefulness on the plantation.' "In December, he asked a caller: 'You're a woman and you like the Super Bowl? Or, is that when your husband beats you?' Last month, he told another caller: 'You know how to stop abortion? Require that each one occur with a gun.' "Limbaugh has argued that there is 'scholarly research' to support his contention that Mexicans are lazy in comparison to Cubans. "I could go on (and there are plenty more examples), but my point is to illustrate that Limbaugh is just as risky today as he was when he made the Fluke comments. Advertisers don't want to associate with this kind of vitriol, and they know that since Limbaugh hasn't changed, it's only a matter of time before he causes another Fluke-like stir. And they don't want to be on the hook when that happens. "Rush Limbaugh is still bad for business." Who is Rush Limbaugh and why do we put up with his trash? Or as another article poses the question, "WHO IS "SUCCESSFUL" RUSH LIMBAUGH?": "According to Fortune Magazine, 'So far as the response of his audience is concerned, (he) is just about the biggest thing that ever happened to radio.' At one point, he had a stenographic staff of 145 to handle the tremendous volume of mail he was receiving. "Rush Limbaugh? Nope. Father Charles Edward Coughlin, the "radio priest" of the 1930s. "The similarities between Coughlin and Limbaugh are striking. In the 30s, Coughlin appealed to large numbers of the American public who wanted simple solutions for the complex economic problems of the depression. Radio listeners were eager to listen to anyone who would offer scapegoats to blame—as long as the scapegoats were 'them' and not 'us.' "Coughlin's villains were government bureaucrats and 'big shots,' Jewish bankers and congressmen from New York City, the eastern elite and the New Deal Democrats—especially those with Jewish-sounding names. Although he charged others with being Fascists, he eventually defended the Nazis in their effort to 'block the Jewish-Communist plan for subjugating Germany.' "Rush Limbaugh: Today's Father Coughlin "For Limbaugh, today's villains are the homeless, the NAACP and various black leaders, the news media, welfare mothers, Democrats, liberals, 'Maarriooo,' American Indians, various indigenous peoples of the world —and anyone else who exposes, or represents, genuine weaknesses in our political system. While charging others with being 'feminazis,' 'enviromaniacs,' or fascists, he appeals to the prejudices of all those who never quite bought the idea that we need to address the historic injustices and costly problems of our country. "Whether you agree or disagree with Limbaugh's views, you owe it to yourself to understand the reasons for his success. A good place to begin is to read Demagogues of the Depression by David Bennett, or The Fine Art of Propaganda by the Institute for Propaganda Analysis. Both are based on the life of Coughlin and his demagogic techniques, such as: 'Band Wagon,' 'Name Calling,' 'Glittering Generality,' 'Transfer,' 'Testimonial,' 'Plain Folks,' and 'Card Stacking.' "As did Coughlin, Limbaugh uses all of them, but the most effective is undoubtedly the 'Band Wagon.' By screening callers, he gives the impression that there is a huge silent majority of right-thinking Americans out there who support the radical views he stands for. The rare 'liberal' he lets get through the switchboard is either a 16 year old student who wants high schools to hand out free condoms, or a person with a severe case of mike fright. "Right now, many politicians welcome invitations to speak on Limbaugh's program and to associate with him at public gatherings. Apparently they don't realize that, when they link themselves with the mentality and viewpoints of a Rush Limbaugh, they say more about their own values than all the public pronouncements of their spin doctors. "Republican Values: 1990s versus 1940s "In 1940, Father Charles Coughlin endorsed Republican candidate Wendell Willkie for U.S. president. To his credit, when Willkie heard of the endorsement, he said: 'I am not only not interested in his support, I don't want it.' (Reported in THE GREAT DEPRESSION, by T.H. Watkins.) "Note that Fr. Coughlin is now on every historian's list as one of the most famous American demagogues of the depression. "Contrast Willkie with recent Republicans. Just prior to the 1992 Republican convention, Limbaugh announced that he had just had a 45-minute conversation with Bob Dole, and he described in detail some of the things they had talked about. More recently, he interviewed both Dole and Kemp on his radio program. "The Charlotte Observer (6/23/96) reported Sen. Patrick Ballantine's (R-New Hanover) reaction to a stalemate in the NC legislature: 'What we're going to do is put them (Republican ads) on Rush so we can get to our Republican base. That'll spread the word like wildfire.' And in 1995, U.S. House Republicans even made Limbaugh an honorary member. "How times have changed. Whereas Republican Willkie publicly denounced the leading demagogue of the '30s, today's Republicans not only welcome the support of the leading demagogue of the '90s, they actively curry his favor. Thus they endorse his values (such as the glorification of greed), his lack of ethical standards in communicating (i.e., half truths and innuendoes), and his lack of commitment to objective problem solving (such as distracting the public from the real causes of income disparity between the top 20% of Americans and everyone else). "Recent political changes in our country suggest that most people want leaders who will actually address and solve our country's problems—not make them worse by blaming, dividing, and scapegoating. "And if we all spread the word about what's really happening in our country, we can regain our traditional, true, family values. "NOTE: THE GREAT LIMBAUGH CON can be ordered from Amazon.com or Barnes&Noble.com., or you can get it directly from the publisher, Fithian Press, by calling 1-800-662-8351. "Book Reviews "Book Contents" In 1988 when George H. W. Bush was running for President, contested by several self-professed "Conservative" Republicans, a caller asked Limbaugh if he shouldn't support someone other than the obvious moderate in the race, Bush. After a long pause, Limbaugh sighed and told the caller that Bush's lack of Conservative credentials might be true, but that he was supporting Bush because he had the best chance to win.

ESID team Research by country Research by programme Pockets of effectiveness – Overview Pockets of Effectiveness – Research by country Pockets of Effectiveness – Researchers Pockets of Effectiveness – Publications Pockets of Effectiveness – Contact us 300 economists call for tax haven crackdown by Anna Webster ESID CEO Professor David Hulme and Research Director, Professor Kunal Sen have joined with 300 other top economists, calling on world leaders to “lift the veil of secrecy” surrounding tax havens. The letter, reproduced in full below, comes ahead of a global Anti-Corruption summit, which will be chaired by David Cameron on Thursday. Thomas Piketty, Angus Deaton, Ha-Joon Chang and Jeffry Sachs are fellow signatories and it has been covered by the BBC, Guardian, FT and Telegraph among others. In a forthcoming book entitled ‘Should Rich Nations Help the Poor?’, David Hulme highlights that: “A vast and well-paid network of lawyers, accountants and financiers based in offshore tax havens support multinational companies in profit-shifting and wealthy people in hiding their ownership of companies.” To assist lower income countries in their efforts to generate domestic tax revenues, Hulme argues that rich nations should do much more to stamp out tax avoidance and evasion through changes to international rules and a step change in tax transparency. Following revelations within the Panama Papers, including the financial resources being sucked out of many African countries, we hope the Anti-Corruption summit this week injects new momentum towards the creation of a more equitable global tax system. Dear world leaders, We urge you to use this month’s anti-corruption summit in London to make significant moves towards ending the era of tax havens. The existence of tax havens does not add to overall global wealth or well-being; they serve no useful economic purpose. Whilst these jurisdictions undoubtedly benefit some rich individuals and multinational corporations, this benefit is at the expense of others, and they therefore serve to increase inequality. As the Panama Papers and other recent exposés have revealed, the secrecy provided by tax havens fuels corruption and undermines countries’ ability to collect their fair share of taxes. While all countries are hit by tax dodging, poor countries are proportionately the biggest losers, missing out on at least $170bn of taxes annually as a result. As economists, we have very different views on the desirable levels of taxation, be they direct or indirect, personal or corporate. But we are agreed that territories allowing assets to be hidden in shell companies or which encourage profits to be booked by companies that do no business there, are distorting the working of the global economy. By hiding illicit activities and allowing rich individuals and multinational corporations to operate by different rules, they also threaten the rule of law that is a vital ingredient for economic success. To lift the veil of secrecy surrounding tax havens we need new global agreements on issues such as public country by country reporting, including for tax havens. Governments must also put their own houses in order by ensuring that all the territories, for which they are responsible, make publicly available information about the real “beneficial” owners of company and trusts. The UK, as host for this summit and as a country that has sovereignty over around a third of the world’s tax havens, is uniquely placed to take a lead. Taking on the tax havens will not be easy; there are powerful vested interests that benefit from the status quo. But it was Adam Smith who said that the rich “should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion.” There is no economic justification for allowing the continuation of tax havens which turn that statement on its head.

A list of specific destinations was not provided. Gym Battles are another feature, which can be find in the real world as well. The Pokemon Company had a a few words to say about how the mechanics would work. “Players can battle using the Pokémon they’ve caught to gain control of a Gym. By using their own Pokémon’s attacks and dodging incoming attacks by swiping left and right on the screen, Pokémon GO players can defeat the defending Pokemon to reduce the Gym’s Prestige. Once the Gym’s Prestige reaches zero, the defending team loses control of the Gym, and the victor’s Pokémon can be assigned to defend the Gym. When a team has control of a Gym, team members can increase its Prestige and level by training their Pokémon with other defending Pokémon. As the Gym gets to a higher level, the defending team gains the ability to assign more Pokémon to defend it. They can also team up with friends and battle together at a rival Gym to take down stronger Gyms faster.” Pokémon Go will be a free game for iOS as well as Android devices and is expected to be launched later this year.

__label__wiki	0.611401	0.611401	Just found this on Wikipedia... Labels: Family Justice System Re Davies: Family found in contempt for failure to comply with location order Only yesterday I wrote a post on the Marilyn Stowe Blog about the ECHR case Pakhomova v Russia, which involved a father taking the child from the mother and refusing to disclose the child's whereabouts. 'Anonymous', obviously with a fathers' rights chip on his shoulder, commented on that post by suggesting that such a case would not be noted if it were the mother taking the child, as it is considered that "this is just fine". It most certainly is not, as a mother's family have found to their cost in Re Davies [2013] EWHC 3294 (Fam), reported today on Bailii. The case concerned a five year old girl whose parents were not married. A contact order was made in favour of the father in June 2011. In March 2011 the mother applied for a cessation of contact, claiming that she had to move abroad to find work. Sometime after that, she left the jurisdiction, taking the child with her. Enquiries by the Tipstaff suggest she flew to Russia. The father attempted to enforce the contact order, and subsequently applied for wardship. Eventually, on the 8th of October 2013 the High Court made a location order. The maternal grandmother was ordered to attend court to give all and any information within her knowledge as to the current whereabouts of the child and of the mother.She attended court along with her husband and gave evidence to the effect that she had no idea where her daughter was, and had no means of contacting her. The location order was then served upon the mother's sister by the police, who suspected she was in breach of the order and indicated that they were minded to arrest her. The maternal grandparents were called to look after the sister's child. At that point, the Police Sergeant explained to all three of them the reason they were there and urged them to provide any information in order to prevent the arrest of the sister. The Police Sergeant stated that the grandmother then said loudly, 'I can't, I can't, I won't. They'll take the baby away'. All three were subsequently arrested and brought before Mr Justice Keehan. After hearing their evidence he was in no doubt that they were all lying, for one reason: they knew full well where the mother and child were, but refused to tell the court because they did not want to assist in any respect in the attempt to try and secure the return of the child to the jurisdiction of the court. He was satisfied that they also had the means of communicating with the mother but they had sought to obfuscate that position and they had not told him the truth about the communications that they had had with her. Accordingly, he found all three to be in contempt of court. Sentencing was adjourned, to enable them to obtain legal representation. Meanwhile, all three were remanded in custody, with the proviso that if any of them wished to provide the information as to the mother's whereabouts that Mr Justice Keehan was sure they had, they were entitled to apply to purge their contempt. Now THAT is a scary Halloween costume... Labels: Legal Aid Family Lore Clinic: What is the difference between a consent order and a financial order? A straightforward one this week. Technically, a 'consent order' is any order that is made 'by consent', i.e. with the agreement of both parties. However, the term 'consent order' is most often used to refer to orders setting out the agreed financial/property settlement on divorce. Used in this way, therefore, a consent order is a financial order, although obviously the term 'financial order' can also refer to orders that are not made with the agreement of the parties - i.e. orders imposed by the court.

(If you can't see the audio player above, try refreshing your browser. Alternatively, you can listen to the podcast here.) Something for the Weekend: The Marmalade - Reflections Of My Life I heard this on the radio recently, for the first time in a long while. It seemed to strike a chord. Mr Justice Roderic Wood A brief summary of A v D (Parental Responsibility) [2013] EWHC 2963 (Fam). It is not often that a father's parental responsibility is revoked, but that is what happened in A v D. The facts were that the parents were not married. There is one child of the relationship, A, who was born on the 13th of January 2009, although both parents have other children. The father acquired parental responsibility for A when the mother registered him as the father on A's birth certificate. According to the mother, the parents' relationship swiftly deteriorated, with the father becoming increasingly controlling and, at times, violent. In 2009 the father was convicted of assaulting the mother and in December 2011 he subjected the mother to a "prolonged and vicious" assault, including stabbing and strangling her. He also threatened to kill her and to have the house shot at with the children in it if she went to the police. Following the assault the mother fled her home and whilst she was away it was burgled and a police car that was placed outside it for the protection of the family was set on fire. On the 28th of December 2011 the father was arrested and in June 2012 he was sentenced to two years' immediate imprisonment for causing grievous bodily harm with intent and three years' imprisonment for false imprisonment of the mother. He also had a string of previous convictions for various offences, including ten offences against the person. Needless to say, the mother's heath was affected by the father's behaviour. Amongst other things, she has been diagnosed as suffering from post traumatic stress disorder. The child had also been affected, suffering from nightmares, displaying highly distressed behaviour and self-harming. Above all, said Mr Justice Roderic Wood hearing the case, he had a need for continuity and stability. The mother and child are now living at a confidential address. However, she had been advised by the police that when the father is released from prison she would face a real risk to her life and limb if he found her. Accordingly, in an attempt to protect herself and the child and make sure they were not traceable, the mother applied for a residence order, an order permitting her to change the child's name and an order revoking the father's parental responsibility. The father did not oppose the applications. An email and a fax that he sent to the court were regarded as not being a full consent. Both Cafcass and the court attempted to persuade him to attend court to give his views, but he declined. As to the law on termination of parental responsibility, Mr Justice Wood followed the authority of Mr Justice Baker in CW v SG [2013] EWHC 854 (Fam), namely that before such an order was made he should be satisfied: 1. That if the father did not have parental responsibility it is inconceivable it would now be granted to him; and 2. That there is no element of the bundle of responsibilities that make up parental responsibility which this father could, in present or foreseeable circumstances, exercise in a way which would be beneficial for the child. Mr Justice Wood was so satisfied. In fact, he said that: "The mother has effortlessly traversed the high threshold required to lead me to terminate the father's parental responsibility, and has done so fulfilling the necessary burden of proof and standard of proof." He went on: "To leave the father as a joint holder of parental responsibility would lead to the mother having perforce to have dealings with the father which would, on any objective view of the evidence, be intolerable to her, and which would more probably than not lead to a profound instability for her, with the inevitable consequences for the deterioration in the arrangements for the children as she sought to combat the seriously undermining effects upon her of such an intrusion." As to the name change: "Anything proportionate which reduces the chance of revealing to the father A's and thus her whereabouts is to be avoided. A change of name from his currently unusual ones will help achieve that end..." Lastly, as to residence, Mr Justice Wood stated that strictly an order was not necessary, but he felt that it would be appropriate because it recognised the reality of the care arrangements and would give the mother a sense of security as to the court's approval of her arrangements.

Labels: Marilyn Stowe Blog Family Lore Clinic: I have a letter of consent from 3 yrs ago allowing me to take my child to Australia. Is this still valid? It is not clear whether this relates to taking the child to Australia for a holiday, or to permanently relocating to Australia. In either event, I would say that the answer must be "no". If you wish to take your child abroad you must first obtain the written consent of the other parent (and anyone else with parental responsibility), or failing that the approval of the court. (If you have a residence order in your favour, you may take the child abroad for less than one month, without requiring consent/approval.) I can't recall any law on the subject (although I would be happy to be told of any), but no matter how it might be worded, my view is that any consent given by one parent can only be valid for a limited time. Certainly, I don't think that it should still be valid after three years. A lot can change in that time, and the other parent may obviously have changed their mind - relying on consent given three years ago runs the risk that a court will say the consent is invalid. Please note that taking a child abroad without a valid consent from the other parent or the court's approval is a criminal offence. Taking children abroad, particularly permanently, is a serious issue. This post only takes a very brief look at the subject. If you require further information then you are strongly advised to seek the advice of a specialist family lawyer.

Book Review: The Queen's Counsel Lawyer's Omnibus The Queen's Counsel Lawyer's Omnibus 20 Years of Cartoons from the Times 1993-2013 Alex Steuart Williams £9.99 (paperback) - Published by Law Brief Publishing: October 2013 The Queen's Counsel cartoons by Alex Williams will be familiar to pretty well every lawyer, having appeared on the law pages of The Times since 1993. The cartoons poke gentle fun at the legal profession, in a not dissimilar way to the Babybarista books by Tim Kevan, that I have previously reviewed here and here. Indeed, Tim has written a Foreword to the Omnibus, which is a collection of the author's personal favourite cartoons from the past twenty years, in which he rightly describes the cartoons as "irreverent, funny, intelligent, mischievous and above all hugely likeable". The book has the cartoon strips arranged in chapters under appropriate headings, such as 'Law School', 'Junior Bar', 'Law Firm Partners', 'In The Courts' and 'Clients'. As an example of what to expect for those few who do not already know I have taken the great liberty (not to mention blatant breach of copyright) of including an example cartoon here, relevant to the subject of this blog (I trust that neither the author nor the publisher will mind): There is the occasional cartoon strip repeated in more than one chapter, but other than that there is nothing that I could possibly say against the Omnibus. Whether you have read the cartoons previously or not and whether you are a lawyer or just have an interest in the law, dipping into its pages will not just amuse but also produce the odd wry smile when a familiar situation is encountered, such as the holiday file note that should definitely not be read out to the client. In short, if you want some light relief from all those tedious legal text books, there is no reason why you should not treat yourself to The Queen's Counsel Lawyer's Omnibus. The legal profession is often criticised for taking itself too seriously, but the fact that Queen's Counsel is still popular enough to be read by lawyers after all these years should reassure some that at least some of us can take a joke. Alas, The Times is now hidden behind the Great Paywall of Murdoch, but you can still enjoy the cartoons online for free at the Queen's Counsel Cartoon website. The Queen's Counsel Lawyer's Omnibus can be purchased from Amazon, here. Labels: Book Reviews Is all fair in marriage and divorce? I have received the following news release from Goldsmiths, University of London: Divorce settlements are sometimes fairer on women than marriage, according to research by Professor Carrie Paechter, Head of the Department of Educational Studies at Goldsmiths, University of London. The research, Concepts of Fairness in Marriage and Divorce, questioned ideas of ‘fairness’ in both marriage and divorce and found that men and women have different, sometimes conflicting, ways of thinking about fairness. Following extensive research into the literature around fairness in marriage, and from studying the divorce support website Wikivorce, Professor Paechter found that wives tend to think of fairness in terms of equality in marriage – expecting their husbands to work an equal number of hours as they do. Husbands, on the other hand, tend to think that bigger contributions in one area (particularly bringing more earnings into the marriage) can buy them out of other tasks like cleaning or childcare – an equity-based way of thinking. Professor Paechter commented: “English and Welsh divorce law has an equality-based approach to fairness, with husbands and wives treated as having contributed equally in their different ways. It could be said that divorce law rebalances some of the unfair situations that women find themselves in when married.” The research also found that, although wives do more housework and childcare than husbands (even when working full-time), both parties will tell ‘stories’ that rationalise their marriage as ‘fair’. Such stories include: placing more value on jobs traditionally done by men than those done by women; or by saying that the man’s paid work is more stressful than the woman’s. Professor Paechter identifies four ways in which these differing views of fairness can cause tension around divorce negotiations: 1) They come to divorce with an equity-based notion of fairness which discounts elements of a spouse’s work – such as looking after children being easy work. 2) Differing views around equality. For instance some may expect to have a large amount in assets as compensation if they have scaled back on their career and earning potential to look after children. 3) The question of equality when children are involved, particularly the question over whether the equality should be between two parents, or one parent and the parent-and-children as a unit. 4) Some divorcing partners see their marriage as a contract to behave in particular ways. Upon breach of that contract (particularly adultery) they want to extract penalties for breach of contract. You can find the full report here. Posted by John Bolch at 12:24 pm 0 comments Links to this post Labels: Divorce, Finance/Property, Press Releases Family Lore Clinic: Can you appeal against a shared residence order? A shared residence order is an order stating that a child shall live part of the time with one parent and the rest of the time with the other parent. Presumably, the person who asked this question feels that in their case the court should have made a sole residence order in their favour, possibly with a contact order in favour of the other parent. I am going to answer the question by making four points that apply to all appeals: Firstly, you can't generally appeal against an order you have consented to. Accordingly, if the questioner agreed to the joint residence order (and many joint residence orders are agreed), they cannot usually appeal against the order. If they no longer think that the order is in the best interests of the child/children, they can ask the court to vary the order. Secondly, you will usually require the permission of the court to pursue the appeal. Permission will only be granted if the court considers that the appeal has a real prospect of success, or if there is some other compelling reason why the appeal should be heard. Thirdly, the appeal court will usually accept any findings of fact by the court below (for example, a finding that an allegation made by one parent is or isn't true). You will not therefore be able to challenge those findings, unless something went very obviously wrong with the process that led to the findings. Finally, to succeed on an appeal you will have to show either that something went so seriously wrong with the procedure that it made the decision unjust, or that the decision was outside the 'bracket' of reasonable decisions and therefore plainly wrong. As to the latter, it is likely to be extremely unusual to be able to show that a shared residence order was plainly wrong. Obviously, the above is only a very brief summary of the law on appeals. If you are considering appealing any family court order, you should consult a specialist family lawyer.

Something for the Weekend: Monty Python and the Holy Grail - Constitutional Peasants I don't know whether it was the Labour Party conference or what, but I was reminded of this recently. As amusing now as it was all those years ago: TW v PL: A concluded agreement is binding (again) Ah, Edgar v Edgar, a case that will bring back pleasant memories of many a family lawyer's student days. Or maybe not. The brief judgment in TW v PL [2013] EWHC 3078 (Fam), published on Bailii today, dealt with the issue of whether an agreement reached between the parties amounted to an 'Edgar agreement' and was therefore binding upon the parties. The facts of TW v PL can be stated quickly: the parties agreed to settle the mother's Schedule 1 claim, and a draft order was drawn up by the father's solicitor. The mother then gave an interview to a popular magazine in which she made reference to the father, and to his approach towards the child, of whom he had denied paternity, until a DNA test proved otherwise. The father then sought to withdraw from the agreement, on the basis that the interview given by the mother to the magazine was in breach of various undertakings that the parties had agreed should be incorporated into the agreement. The matter came before Mr Justice Keehan (as he now is - the TB v DB case I reported upon yesterday was heard just before he was appointed a Justice of the High Court), who found that the mother could not have breached any undertaking, as the agreement had not been signed by the father or approved by the court. However, the agreement did fall within Edgar (and Xydias) - it was a concluded agreement to which the parties were bound and, as there were no vitiating factors, the father had no grounds for seeking to renege on it. Mr Justice Keehan therefore approved the agreement and made it into a court order. He did, however, give a warning to the mother: "She must fully understand this agreement now having been made a court order, those undertakings that she has given are binding upon her and are enforceable and if in further course a court finds that she is in breach of one or more of those undertakings, then she exposes herself and will be liable to punishment by the court either by way of a financial penalty or, at the extreme, by way of imprisonment." Labels: Law Reports "The dinosaurs have had their day" - Sir Paul Coleridge Kill off outdated family law, says retiring Coleridge - Law Society Gazette, 19th October 2013 TB v DB: A mother's campaign against the father A very quick post to mention a case that has just popped up on Bailii, TB v DB [2013] EWHC 2075 (Fam). The judgment concerns a fact-finding hearing within residence proceedings relating to a five year-old boy, and the case is a sad example of the lengths that a parent will go to to deny the other parent a proper relationship with their child. The parents separated in July 2009, when the mother left the matrimonial home with the child. The father had to make an application to discover their whereabouts, but eventually achieved contact, in April 2010. Proceedings have continued since. During the course of the matter the mother made a number of extremely serious allegations against the father and his brother, including that the father had raped her, that his brother had attempted to rape her and that his brother had sexually abused the child. She had also involved both social services and the police in her attempts to pursue those allegations. Mr Michael Keehan QC conducted the fact-finding hearing to determine the truth of the allegations, and found against the mother on all points. He concluded: "I regret to find that her actions were not borne of acting in [the child's] best interests but were part of her concerted and long-standing campaign against the father." We are not told the outcome of the subsequent welfare hearing. Don't believe a word We have all long been cynical about the way that politicians manipulate the news for their own purposes. We even have a word for it: 'spin'. Who could forget the government spin doctor who suggested that September the 11th 2001 would be a good day to bury bad news? But politicians don't just bury bad news, they also create 'good' news stories that show them and their policies in a favourable light. Unfortunately, politicians are not the only ones... Part of what I do is monitor family law news stories for inclusion in Family Lore Focus. Call me naive, but I used to think that what I was monitoring was all genuine news - after all, most of the sites I was monitoring were entirely reputable, such as broadsheet national newspapers. Sadly, this is far from the case. Lawyers (and, no doubt, many other businesses) regularly manufacture news as a means of advertising themselves. You can see why - after all, how much would it cost to place an advert in a national newspaper? The 'news' stories typically take one of two forms: Firstly, there is the story about the survey that the firm commissioned which comes up with results that are sooo interesting. I have already commented about this caper in my last Friday Review. Secondly, the story that the firm comes up with from their own experience. Someone at the firm notices something that once happened on one of their files, mentions it at a meeting of the firm's advertising department, and that 'something' is 'expanded' into a whole new trend in divorce work, worthy of national coverage. How does one spot these stories? Well, my advice is to be wary when you see, usually about half way down the page, the Senior Partner at x Firm giving their expert views. Check to see whether the story emanated from their firm. Of course, I have no problem with a lawyer being asked to comment upon a genuine news story, but when they comment upon their own story... I'm sure the newspapers are fully aware that they are being used, but they get a free news story that they can publish on a quiet news day, so everyone wins. Or do they? *Damn, just broken my rule never again to use a song title for a post headline. Family Lore Clinic: In the UK is the mistress ever required to pay maintenance? Well, I can only speak for England and Wales, but the answer is simple: no. A 'mistress' (which I take to mean a woman who is in a sexual relationship with a married man) can never be liable to pay maintenance to that man's wife, or for his children. To give a little more detail (and I will only deal with spousal maintenance, as child maintenance is normally paid via the Child Support Agency), a court cannot order a 'mistress' to pay maintenance to the wife. She is not a party to the proceedings, and the wife cannot claim maintenance from her. However, if the wife claims maintenance from the husband, the court will take into account the husband's outgoings. If he is living with the 'mistress' and the mistress is working, then that may reduce the husband's outgoings, and therefore increase the amount he has available to pay maintenance for the wife. In those circumstances, the husband could be ordered to pay more maintenance than if he were not cohabiting. If you require any further details regarding the issue of maintence, then you should consult a specialist family lawyer.

__label__cc	0.748971	0.251029	Published by Liz Garnett at Helping You Harmonise on Friday 25th November 2016 Back in April, when Sandi Wright introduced the Barbershop Harmony Society’s new judging category of Performance to delegates at LABBS Harmony College, she used three key concepts to explain its central values: Risk - vulnerability, courage Skill - absence of distraction Stage-worthy - content that is significant and relateable Interestingly, whilst there is a good deal of material online explaining the change from the old Presentation category, as of the date of writing, the only documentation of the new category itself that I can locate is a draft dated September 2015. Which only contains mention of the second of these, skill. So my plan to write about how interesting and exciting the adoption of the concept of ‘Stage-worthy’ into the category is rather undermined. But, still, it is clearly part of the discourse within the category, or Sandi wouldn’t have been discussing it. And I can thus still talk about the useful contribution the concept makes (either actually or potentially, depending on whether it has made it into the final version of the category description.) What the term ‘stage-worthy’ does is bring song choice firmly into the remit of the Performance Category. They’ve always been interested in the material sung, because it is central to the impact a performance has, but this gives the means to discuss it in terms proper to the category’s remit. Hitherto, evaluating song choice has mostly been seen as the preserve of the Music Category. And there is a lot of useful guidance in MUS about not just style (what is good barbershop?), but also craft (what is a well-written, and well-arranged song?). But it hasn’t had the wherewithal to articulate that distinction when a song is good barbershop, competently constructed, but a bit ordinary in its expressive ambition. When I was still judging, and therefore often giving advice on contest-suitability of material, I’d find myself telling people that there was nothing wrong with a particular choice, but that I wondered if had enough stuff in it to make it the focus of their most carefully-prepared-for performance of the year. We were making these distinctions about artistic value in repertoire choices, as intelligent human beings with hearts and minds, but the category didn’t really supply the language to communicate it. Indeed, towards the end of my time as a judge, I was increasingly giving repertoire advice through the filter of what Singing and Presentation judges might think about it. So, ‘stage-worthy’ is a really useful idea, and I have been thinking a good deal about what it entails. How can you identify significance in a song? Aspects I have been reflecting on so far include: Jeopardy. Something is at stake, at risk. The example that really got me thinking about this was ‘When I Fall in Love’ - it’s not just a declaration of love (itself a moment of emotional vulnerability), but it raises the stakes by framing love as a one-shot chance. There are also performative levels of jeopardy: virtuosity sees the singers taking technical risks. It is a different flavour of entertainment value, but there is something rightly gripping about people exercising extraordinary skills. We had an exam question for our first-year undergraduates at the first college I taught in that captures this idea well: ‘Without the possibility of failure, there can be no true performance. Discuss’. (It was actually a music history exam, but I loved the fact that we made every student sit down in a quiet room and think about this question for 45 minutes at an early stage of their higher education.) Vividness. Something that catches our attention and imagination. This is related to, but not identical to memorableness (which I’ve had a go at unpacking before) - trivial songs can be memorable too. But you do tend to find that songs that pull you in have more colour in them - in their harmonic language as well as their poetic imagery. Counterfactual emotions, with their embedded stories, create vividness too Heroism. I am using this term, rather than ‘relatable’, to tease out the notion of compelling empathy. The act of witnessing and understanding a musical performance is always one of feeling-along-with; indeed, I have theorised in the past that embarrassing performances are ones where you find yourself reluctant to empathise with what you are being invited to identify with. But a stage-worthy song, and a stage-worthy performance, is one where we somehow find ourselves becoming more than ourselves. Our hearts and minds are invited to operate on a more exalted level than day-to-day. Again, this may work at a narrative-emotional level and/or a level of performance skill. I can be touched by a heartfelt delivery from a novice when it is sincere and honest, but The Buzz invite me to imagine along with expertise as well as sincerity. Two further points. First, ‘stage-worthy’ in the abstract doesn’t necessarily have to imply the raised emotional temperature that these elements entail. There is a place in the world for light songs, emotionally uncomplicated songs, simple cheerfulness. But the context of the performance makes a difference. In longer sets you need light relief so as not to exhaust your audience; in informal settings, emotional depth may be misplaced. But for contest purposes, where all performers prepare carefully and all the audience is strongly invested in the occasion, music that everyone can rise to is important. If you only get to perform two songs, you need to pick them carefully. Second, this idea helps us see why the advice to ‘choose something simple and sing it well’, while sensible on the surface doesn’t always produce the most successful performances. Whilst it is certainly a good idea not to over-reach yourself in your repertoire choices, you do need music that will inspire you. You can only get an emotional response from the audience if you yourself care about the song. Weight = 6.

Linked from Continuing the Journey with Bristol A Cappella (4) Comment by Carla Leendertse Submitted on Saturday, 26 November, 2016 - 12:03 I can relate to this. What I'd like to add as a comment is that we (as a quartet) find it harder each time to find the right songs to sing at a convention. The songs that are usually fit for contest (which has indeed always been a matter of musical suitability only), are usually not the ones we want to add to our regular songlist. Which, for us, is a must for every convention song we sing. We do not want to put that much effort in 2 songs that we only sing once. Reply from Liz Garnett Oh for sure - you want the music you polish for contest to work for all your other audiences too, or at least a good proportion of them I'm sure this has been part of what the shift from PRS to Performance has been about - finding a greater common ground between barbershop and wider musical cultures. And of course, song choice is only part of that process. But I think the approach to musical content in more recent years is starting to give more room for manoeuvre on this.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0014.json.gz/line3648

__label__wiki	0.57664	0.57664	Flukeman and It Walk Into a Bar Flukeman has had it up to here. He points dramatically to his chest. Flukeman is a fan of literal gestures. It doesn’t roll Its eyes, but It wants to. Outside the bar, the rain falls in streamers of red—dense and coppery to the taste. It is in full clown regalia. It is not looking forward to going outside. Even temporal make-up runs. Flukeman is getting into the groove of his rant. That girl she’s gotten too old. She thinks she can just leave us behind. The jukebox plays lullabies from broken music boxes: discordant and jarring as babies crying from the attic of old houses. The other morning, she woke from a dream where the world didn’t end and she still woke feeling sad. She drank her coffee, sitting in the window, and saw a little boy across the street. He was crying. His father ran to him, swung him up into a hug. Flukeman orders a drink: sewage water with a twist of eyes. It is on Its third scotch. Flukeman takes a gulp, grimaces. The bar is using the cheap stuff, again. Her nightmares are so boring now, you know? So…Realistic. They both shudder. Across the room, a witch is arm-wrestling with a giant spider. Unfair, really, as spider is using four arms. She gets scared so often, that it’s hard to remember what it’s like to not be: the phone ringing in the middle of the night, the doctor frowning when looking at her blood results, her boyfriend driving too fast around curves. Each moment makes her breath go in, heart speed up. It wants can’t get a word in edgewise— no Pennywise, It thinks and chuckles to Itself. It wants to say, well, you’re the problem, Flukey, that’s when we began to lose her. When she started thinking about parasites more than imagination, as the place to find her terror. But It is smarter than that. Flukeman doesn’t take criticism well. There’s biting. At a funeral for a friend, the priest gets the deceased’s name wrong repeatedly. She wants to shout, to correct him, but she’s so afraid that this is what life comes down to: a slow erasing of who we were. Walking home, after, she walks over a sewer grate and doesn’t even briefly imagine the possibility of clawed hands grabbing her feet. Buzzer-Beater, February 2009 In 2009, a friend marries a man who tells her “you’re lucky I’m willing to settle.” And I discover that sometimes I can’t sleep alone and it is the first time that has ever happened. In 2009, Devin Harris hits a half court shot at the buzzer to lead the Nets past the 76ers. I lean forward in my seat, watching Harris lunging forward, the ball leaving his hands as if it has chosen the shot instead of him. My boyfriend tells me that distance is nothing. In 2009, though I don’t believe him, I say I do, having always been a speaker of needs more than truths and what he needs to hear is that we’ll be fine. My friend calls me up and says that she feels like she’s made a mistake and I don’t say “you have” and she doesn’t ask me for advice and so I don’t give any, just listen to her breathing, so heavy and deep. In 2009, my boyfriend crashes his car, miles and miles and miles away, and he is safe and he is fine and still I think he is too far away for me to feel such danger. Devin Harris makes a turnover with 20 seconds to play and the game seems lost. My friend says she feels like her choice was God’s way. In 2009, I tell my boyfriend, I can’t and I don’t tell him it’s because I have never been able to believe in anything, except the worst, and so every phone call, every news story makes me think that he is lost. The buzzer blasts as Harris throws the ball, arcing through the air like a sun setting in time-lapse photography, and 47 feet later it hits the rim, spins, and falls. And in 2009, after the game, after the loss, 76er Andre Miller said “It happens in this league. We just have to move on.” Chloe N. Clark's work appears in Apex, Flash Fiction Online, Gamut, and more.

When her husband and the kids leave for the airport, Georgie wonders if she’s finally ruined everything. Georgie discovers a way to communicate with Neal in the past. It’s not time travel, exactly.

Filled with gorgeous writing, memorable characters, and surprising events, Lucky Us is a thrilling and resonant novel about success and failure, good luck and bad, the creation of a family, and the pleasures and inevitable perils of family life, conventional and otherwise. From Brooklyn’s beauty parlors to London’s West End, a group of unforgettable people love, lie, cheat and survive in this story of our fragile, absurd, heroic species.

When he wakes, the voices recede, but they do not vanish. He is in a luxurious hotel room on the Vegas strip, and his body is covered in scars. Jack Strong is a patchwork man, his flesh melded together from dozens of men and women, and his mind is the same way. Countless lifetimes are contained within him: people whose time was cut short, and who see their place in Jack as a chance to make things right. On behalf of one of them, Jack reignites a feud with corrupt casino bosses. Drawing on the skills of another, he beats the life out of two bodyguards. Jack fights for control as he lurches from impulse to impulse, certain that somewhere within him exists a soul. The answers may lie with whomever is tailing him in a sleek black car—if Jack can somehow confront him. Downfall: A Cal Leandros Novel by Rob Thurman (Urban Fantasy, Roc) I let it go—all of it. Everything I’d been saving up all my life, building and growing inside me, too much to hold in one half-human body. It pushed and fought to be free with a force that turned me into a bomb with a timer vibrating on zero. I was free. But so was everything I’d fought so hard not to be.... Brothers Cal and Niko Leandros know trouble when they see it—and then proceed to wipe the floor with it. But now it seems their whole world is falling to pieces. Cal’s nightmarish monster side is growing ever stronger, changing Cal physically as well as mentally. Which is exactly what Grimm—Cal’s savage doppelgänger—wants. And when a covert supernatural organization decides that it’s time to put Cal down before he threatens pretty much everything else in existence, the brothers find themselves in a fight they actually might lose. But the dark temptations Cal has denied all his life may prove to be exactly what can save them. Even if he must fall forever… The House We Grew Up In: A Novel by Lisa Jewell (Contemporary Fiction, Atria Books) “Clever, intelligent…wonderful” (Jojo Moyes, New York Times bestselling author of Me Before You). Meet the Bird family. They live in a honey-colored house in a picture-perfect Cotswolds village, with rambling, unkempt gardens stretching beyond. Pragmatic Meg, dreamy Beth, and tow-headed twins Rory and Rhys all attend the village school and eat home-cooked meals together every night. Their father is a sweet gangly man named Colin, who still looks like a teenager with floppy hair and owlish, round-framed glasses. Their mother is a beautiful hippy named Lorelei, who exists entirely in the moment. And she makes every moment sparkle in her children’s lives. Then one Easter weekend, tragedy comes to call. The event is so devastating that, almost imperceptibly, it begins to tear the family apart. Years pass as the children become adults, find new relationships, and develop their own separate lives. Soon it seems as though they’ve never been a family at all. But then something happens that calls them back to the house they grew up in—and to what really happened that Easter weekend so many years ago. Told in gorgeous, insightful prose that delves deeply into the hearts and minds of its characters, The House We Grew Up In is the captivating story of one family’s desire to restore long-forgotten peace and to unearth the many secrets hidden within the nooks and crannies of home.

Adding it to my list. I came across it but forgot about it ^_^; Of course Downfall. I'm anxious, I want to read it. At the same time, I'm nervous... I wonder if there's an end in sight. As much as I love the series, I think perhaps it's time to wrap it up :( because the last few books haven't gone anywhere. Hilcia July 7, 2014 at 1:23 PM Nath, I'm definitely reading Dissonance and Downfall. I'm still thinking about Landline although it has been on my wish list for a little while already. I agree about the Leandros series, sigh... it either needs to move forward or end. It has been stuck on rewind for a while! I'm still anxious to read Downfall to see what that summary means.

From Oct. 22-30, HIDOE will be hosting produce solicitation pre-bid meetings across the state. RSVP by Oct. 19. The Hawai'i State Department of Education (HIDOE) is seeking more local farmers and vendors to supply fresh produce for student meals on their island, with an emphasis on locally grown fruits and vegetables. This is part of the Department's efforts to introduce fresh, locally grown products in student meals through its 'Aina Pono programs, including Farm to School and Harvest of the Month. "Our students have shared with us how they enjoy eating fresh, local ingredients in their school lunches," said Superintendent Dr. Christina Kishimoto. "We want to continue serving these healthy meals to our students through our 'Aina Pono programs. In order to do that, we need to grow and expand our partnerships with Hawaii's agriculture community." During the next two weeks, HIDOE will be hosting produce solicitation pre-bid meetings for local farmers and vendors across the state. Representatives from the Lieutenant Governor's office, HIDOE's School Food Services Branch (SFSB), HIDOE's Procurement and Contracts Branch, Hawai'i Department of Taxation, and Hawai'i Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs will be available to answer questions. The meetings will be held on the following islands: Monday, Oct. 22 Kaua'i High School Library 3577 Lala Road (Līhu'e) Hawai'i Island Tuesday, Oct. 23 University of Hawai'i at Hilo, Campus Center Room 301 200 W.

Churches try new ways to connect Business HomeBusinessEngineered in Africa: ‘We knew the talent was there’ Engineered in Africa: ‘We knew the talent was there’ 15.08.2019 InfoComma Business 0 Christina Sass (left) with Andela employees Christina Sass learned at an early age to spot talent in new places. She went on to found Andela, a firm that recruits software engineers in Africa. One autumn, at the start of a new school term, she found half of her class had been replaced with black students from a much less affluent part of town. “Busing” children between schools was a policy designed to integrate divided communities, and she remembers it causing “a huge uproar” in the US state of Georgia when she was growing up. She was fearful at first herself, but the experience turned out to be overwhelmingly positive. “Sure, it was a bunch of new people who had a different experience in life. But three years later we were all close friends,” she says. And as they got to know each other, watching people from both backgrounds “excelling academically, excelling at sports and excelling in the arts” she gained a useful insight: “brilliance is evenly distributed”. That nugget of wisdom, became the motto behind Andela, the firm she co-founded in 2014 to tap into unexploited IT talent across Africa. Andela, its named inspired by South Africa’s first black president, Nelson Mandela, recruits and trains software engineers, then finds them work with Silicon Valley firms or other international employers. Andela has recruited software engineers in six African cities including Kigali, Rwanda This matchmaking idea has caught the imagination of some high profile investors, with the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, and US tennis star Serena Williams amongst those putting money into the venture. Although Andela is a for-profit company, not a charity, there’s a strong social motivation behind it. Throughout her childhood, Ms Sass says her father pressed home the message that gaining qualifications was the key to a good career. He himself had arrived in the United States in the late 1960s from a divided Germany, with little English and only $200 in his pocket. He’d found work at a warehouse for IBM and thanks to the company’s support, over the years he worked his way through night school and a degree, gaining promotions as he did so. She was taught to value education above all else. But after working on educational projects in south east China and the Palestinian Territories, Ms Sass began to wonder whether education was enough. “I heard this constant drumbeat, that no matter how much people were willing to invest in their education and themselves it still didn’t translate into a job,” she says. “My interest shifted. After those two to three years in the field, I was thinking, the way to crack this nut is not to focus on quality education it’s to focus on that transition between education and employment.” Christina realised at school that talent did not depend on which community you came from Her father, who passed away when she was in her early twenties, remained a profound influence on her, motivating her to “make things happen”. And she set about establishing Andela with co-founder Jeremy Johnson, an educational technology specialist. They realised there was a glut of IT talent in Africa and, on the flipside, a desperate need globally for qualified software engineers with the right kinds of skills. When they first called for applications in Lagos in 2014, after “wearing out their shoe leather” spreading the message, thousands applied from across Nigeria. “We knew we’d find great problem solvers and logical thinkers,” she says. “We just knew the level of talent that was there.” The numbers were whittled down by a rigorous selection process and the Andela model was born. More The Boss features: ‘He liked my spirit, and approved my visa on the spot’ ‘I kept my multimillion dollar business secret’ Three months after I was paralysed, I was back at work ‘I got wiped out, but I was determined to make it back’ Although around 80% of Andela recruits, already have degrees in computing, they all undergo six months of training to learn soft skills, like negotiation techniques and team working. Only then are they paired up with suitable clients, which have included the BBC and IBM as well as many of the Fortune 500 and Silicon Valley start-ups. Crucially, though, the recruits don’t relocate. Instead they work remotely. And whilst international firms pay Andela the going rate for a qualified engineer, the employees receive only a third of that. The rest goes back into Andela to support the matchmaking service and to expand the business. “Andelans” are tied to working under these terms for four years. After that they can take up employment overseas if it is on offer, or stay on in their home countries. Andela employees in Kigali, Nairobi, Lagos and Kampala are paid a third of the fee the firm receives for their work Some observers worry Andela could exacerbate the brain drain, smoothing the way for the most talented engineers to find employment outside Africa. Firms in Lagos, Kampala, Kigali and Nairobi can’t compete with the salaries and lifestyles on offer abroad. And if IT specialists have been provided with the skills, and the contacts with western firms, it may make it easier for them to leave. “We have a love-hate relationship with Andela,” says Yinka Adegoke, Quartz’s Africa editor. “They’ve been great for showing [that] startups in Africa can raise money, but no African startup can afford Andela.” But while the brain drain is a real danger, agrees David Adeleke, editor of Business Insider Sub-Saharan Africa, talented workers who go overseas “often return or at least facilitate knowledge sharing and in the process, significantly help improve the ecosystems they departed.” It’s early days to see what path most will take, but Andela says of the first batch of alumni, more than 90% are still working in Nigeria. Ms Sass’ dream is that many of the 1,300 developers now working in hubs in Nigeria, Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and smaller offices in Ghana and Egypt will want to build their own start-ups, once their time with Andela is up. “Our ultimate goal is to have Andela alumni as the next tech leaders in Africa,” she says, maybe even Africa’s own Bill Gates she muses. But she herself is now ready to move on to new projects. She’s stepping back from her day-to-day role, though she’ll stay on as chairman of Andela’s advisory council. Next on her agenda? “Andela operates at the high end of the skills spectrum,” she says. “I’m thinking about how do you do that for people who are not.” Share markets tumble as recession fears grow German economy slips back into negative growth US fake university: India anger after students arrested Image caption The sting operation came complete with a fake university website India has made a diplomatic protest to the US after 129 Indian students were arrested for enrolling in a fake university.

__label__cc	0.608058	0.391942	Infosys Foundation Infosys.org Infosys.com Announcing the 2018 Infy Maker Award Winners by Infosys Foundation USA \| 05/23/2017 We are proud to announce the 2018 Infy Maker Awards winners, 10 organizations from across the U.S. that are taking unique approaches to creating opportunities for more students in their communities to engage in Making. The winners come from 10 states, are working in urban and rural communities and include libraries, museums, makerspaces, colleges and non-profit organizations: Bay Area Discovery Museum (Sausalito, CA) will partner with the Girl Scouts of Northern California to create a Maker program for girls to complete their engineering badge and train adult volunteers to continue designing with their troops. BLDG 61: Boulder Public Library Makerspace (Boulder, CO) will expand underserved high school student engagement through internship and scholarship programs. Digital Harbor Foundation (Baltimore, MD) will pilot a program with Baltimore City educators to facilitate student connections with Tech Coaches via a tablet kiosk school counselors' offices. Explora Science Center & Children’s Museum (Albuquerque, NM) will create standards-aligned training and field trips to inspire hundreds of students & educators to bring the Maker mindset back to their schools and community. Free Science (Ithaca, NY) will create an intern program for low-income and underrepresented teens, where teens will mentor youth from their communities and develop their own projects. Greater Cincinnati STEM Collaborative (Cincinnati, OH) will develop a program with Cincinnati Public Schools where students will create and care for gardens with families and community partners. Illinois MakerLab (Champaign, IL) will provide free summer camps for low-income families focused on design thinking, electronics and 3D printing. ImagineWorks (Honolulu, HI) will expand its community outreach across the island by building out the set of tools and technologies available for students to use. Keene Public Library (Keene, NH) will create Maker programs for youth to develop and prototype solutions to civic problems from homelessness and hunger to bicycle and pedestrian safety. Sitting Bull College (Fort Yates, ND) will recenter its Lakota language immersion school for students on Standing Rock around traditional Making and learning. This year’s Infy Maker Awards competition focused specifically on supporting maker education. Making provides students with opportunities to engage in real-world, hands-on learning by working on projects that they care about and are personally meaningful to them. Maker education is interdisciplinary, enabling young people to learn about STEM, arts and design together. Research from Harvard Graduate School of Education found that maker-centered learning enables students to develop a deep understanding of how they can impact the world and a sense of agency and empowerment. While schools, libraries, museums and communities across the U.S. are setting up makerspaces where students and families have access to tools and technologies for designing and prototyping, the applications received by the Foundation demonstrates a significant need for more of these opportunities to be supported, particularly in underserved communities. In order for us to reach more students, K-12 schools, universities, libraries, museums, foundations, companies and local governments can work together to support professional development opportunities for educators, establish and grow makerspaces and support on-going research to understand the impact of Making on learning. @InfyFoundation ©2020 Infosys Foundation USA	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0014.json.gz/line3679
__label__wiki	0.870861	0.870861	Football: Montview and Valle Vista League appeals denied on unanimous 7-0 vote Posted on April 15, 2010 by Fred Robledo By Aram Tolegian, Staff Writer Representatives from the Montview and Valle Vista leagues knew their appeals on Tuesday to the CIF-Southern Section football playoff grouping committee regarding the Mid-Valley Division’s addition of the Almont League were a long shot to be upheld. And they found out why on Wednesday. The committee voted 7-0 to deny the appeals with two voters abstaining because they’re from the area. The abstentions were by Rob Roberts of the Hacienda-La Puente Unified School District and Candace Cayer of the Pomona Unified School District. The Montview League, represented by Azusa High School athletic director Sandy Gahring, and the Valle Vista League, represented by Wilson athletic director Mark Fessenden, had argued the regrouping proposal should be disallowed because the Almont League poses two problems to the division. The first was the Almont’s schools are too big. The second was adding the league will reduce the number of guaranteed playoff spots for each league in the division to two teams. The final four spots would be at-large berths awarded by CIF. The Montview, with eight teams, and Valle Vista, with seven, are the two largest leagues in the division. The Almont League, which consists of Alhambra, Bell Gardens, Keppel, Montebello, San Gabriel and Schurr,boast six of the division’s seven largest student enrollments. “We just have to get better, plain and simple,” said Covina coach Darryl Thomas, whose Colts play in the Valle Vista League. “They (CIF) obviously think we can play against schools that are twice or sometimes three times bigger than we are. So we have to get better.” The playoff grouping committee denied the appeals because they did not feel either league reached the criteria to change the proposal, according to CIF director of information Thom Simmons. The criteria emphasizes competitive equity first and then factors in enrollment and geography. The Almont sought relief to leave the Southeast Division, where it played the past two seasons and won one playoff game. CIF does not base competitve equity decisions on anything prior to the past two seasons, so Schurr’s 2006 CIF championship was not considered. “We kind of figured they (CIF) had their minds made up,” Gladstone coach Albert Sanchez said when told of the decision on Wednesday. “We knew it was going to be a long shot just based on the past history of our appeals. But at least we put something together and were heard. “Now you just go play and do what you have to do.” CIF heard 15 appeals on Tuesday. Only one was upheld, and that involved the Camino Real League in relation to girls soccer. The regrouping proposals will be made official at the Southern Section council meeting on April 29. Leagues also can file a final appeal at that meeting before a final decision is made. aram.tolegian@sgvn.com This picture is Classic. Nice job Fred. This is exactly how Coach Thomas will be looking after his team fails to make the playoffs. Funny stuff.
