A rammy, a swerry word, and abuse
Oct21 by weegingerdug
Sorry for the lack of updates to the blog for the past few days, but I’ve been unwell and lying languidly on the chaise longue familiarising myself with the finer points of the legal system. Some people would say that means I’ve really had my arse glued to the sofa, full of a cold and feeling sorry for myself while watching repeats of Judge Judy, but they’d be cruel and heartless bullies like those who swear at billionaire authors on Twitter who’ve got no one to back them up except 6 million followers and the entire UK media.
I missed the Sweargate scandal, what with being snottery and no well. Apparently Stu Campbell of Wings Over Scotland, seemingly in one of his frequent provocateur moods, swore at JK Rowling and wosserface from the 80s on Twitter – both of whom are very good at trolling duties themselves. The last time a swerry word provoked such condemnation was when Johnny Rotten swore at Bill Grundy on the telly in 1976. We’ve got more used to authentic working class language in middle class media spaces these days. Nowadays you can hardly go five minutes on Channel 4 without someone swearing – although usually that’s the viewer when they realise the unmitigated pish that’s on offer on the channel. Swerry words are not offensive, certainly not if you’re Scottish, but they do provide an excuse to take offence, which isn’t quite the same thing.
Anyway, I’m not proposing to defend what was said, nor to take offence on the part of the poor victimoids, but it does seem to me that the entire episode only became an episode because of the parties involved – that would be JK Rowling with her prominent unionist pointy hat on, and Stu Campbell the media’s favourite vile cybernat. No one really gives a shit about wosserface from the 80s.
The internet is full of swerry words, people seeking to offend, and people seeking to find offence to take. One of the worst cyberspats I ever had the misfortune to witness involved some very strong language about the detailing on a Hornby model steam engine. Boys’ toys are important, and it’s really, REALLY important when someone is wrong on the Internet. The fact is that the internet exists primarily for three things: A) pornography, B) pictures of cats in amusing poses – and apparently for some people with particularly recherché tastes categories A and B overlap – and C) having bad tempered pointless arguments about pointless shit. The very first two people ever to use the Internet used it to exchange expletives about a photo of a cat in a sexually provocative pose.
There’s a bit of a devaluation of language going on here too. When one adult says fuck to another adult over the Internet, that’s not abuse. Abuse is a child being the victim of an assault at the hands of an adult, abuse is a powerless person being attacked by the powerful, abuse is an illegal war, abuse is rape, abuse is violence. Mentally competent adults swearing at one another over the Internet is none of these things. It’s just a rammy.
However when the swerry words are being exchanged by an independence supporter and a unionist, all of a sudden it’s abuse. And it’s invariably the indy supporter who is the abuser. Indy supporter swearing at unionist is news, unionist swearing at indy supporter is not news. This is the imbalance that sticks in the craw. If the media was not so quick to condemn just the one side in the online ramminess and go greeting abuse whenever someone from Glesca used a swerry word, then indy supporters would be less inclined to rush to the defence of those who engage in it. We end up with a vicious circle of self-righteousness in which everyone feels perfectly entitled to tell everyone else to fuck off.
Then there are those who wring their hands at the online behaviour of followers of Scottish politics – invariably the followers being those of a pro-independence persuasion, and equally invariably the hand wringers are of a Unionist persuasion. It’s a scandal, it’s a shock, it’s appalling. And so it is. When grown up adults behave like hormonal teenagers having a fit of door slamming you don’t understaaaaaand me and I didn’t want to be born anyway, it’s never edifying. But this is not a problem that’s specific to Scottish politics. It’s an Internet thing. Complaining about internet swerry words as though it was a specific problem for Scottish politics is a bit like complaining about the neighbour’s cat shitting in your garden after a mains sewer has broken and flooded the entire town. And it’s not even one of those pornography cats.
Trust has broken down between a large segment of the Scottish population – I’d argue a majority – and the Scottish media. I’ve argued before that when that happens it’s not the fault of the people, it’s the fault of the media. The perception is that our media is one sided, partisan, and reflective of the views of only a part of the population. This is a dangerous and unhealthy state of affairs in a democracy. It’s not like there’s any shortage of instances of independence supporters being subject to verbal rammies from the gobs of Unionists, but they never seem to make the newspapers or the telly. And with every Internet rammy dressed up as an abuse scandal, the little bit of faith in the media that still remains withers a little bit more.
Some months ago GA Ponsonby, formerly of Newsnet Scotland, published a book detailing the one sidedness of the BBC during the independence referendum. How the BBC Stole the Referendum is an important and well researched book which goes to the heart of media imbalance in Scotland. There’s now a crowdfunding appeal to raise the cash to make the book into a documentary. I’ve already agreed to take part in it. The way to start changing things is to spread the message that things need to change. This documentary project is a vital contribution to that. If you haven’t donated already it’s well worth doing so. Let’s make this happen.

Get well soon, Paul. I too have the cold, not too pleased.
As for swearing at JK or whoever, I think it’s best just to ignore them, in a don’t feed the trolls sort of way.
macart763 says:
Until the day the media start accurately reporting the tsunami of fucking abuse we’ve been on the receiving end of I’ll struggle to give a shit what they report. They’ve turned their backs on not just internet abuse, but physical assault and personal intimidation perpetrated on supporters of both independence and the SG, so frankly they have no room to claim any moral authority or outrage.
Apparently if you support Scottish self determination any such incident warrants a single column mention tucked somewhere below adverts for PPI stalkers and payday loans. What you don’t see is wall to wall front page coverage or lead story in prime time broadcast news.
I’ve paid little or no attention to this story over the last few days for a very good reason. In the face of a conservative conference which should have people shaking in their boots, the re-emergence of EVEL over the Heathrow runway stooshie, the imminent threat of plant closures in central Scotland and folk literally starving on our own fucking streets, I really couldn’t give a flying porno kitty if a celeb has had a snit on the internet.
hektorsmum says:
I too got utterly bored with it all, who cares, so the woman has a book out and any port in a storm the advertise it. Certainly enough to be going on with without worrying who used which F word to whom. I really do not like her I have read her Harry Potters, I was stuck at the time. On reflection not really that good and probably said more about the state of children’s books than anything else.
macart763M says:
Must admit, neither I or my kids (now teens) ever read any of these books and I saw maybe one of the movies on DVD. Can’t say as I was either up or down (shrugs). But when some bod compares half a nation to something called a death eater? (is that right?) My attention span for anything they have to say falls off a cliff. Fare enough the lady contributes to her chosen cause, but to compare us to even fictional monsters? FFS, that’s beyond the pale.
This person has a considerable fortune, is a darling of the media and a supposedly well known face (though I couldn’t pick her out of a line up). As I said above I really couldn’t give a monkey’s about the media’s opinion on any damn thing, but I care even less when the outrage is wrapped in a celebrity ribbon and presented with raging hypocrisy.

Hey, Jdman. I mind all the rammy about the J15 handrails too. And don’t get me started of f***in Jumbogate! 😂😂😂
fermerfaefife says:
BBC is now just tabloid TV. Reporting just the gossip in the unionist papers. Maybe if they actually got to the bottom of stories they would gain a bit of respect. They should be taking a leaf out of Alex Thomsons book. That report of his on land reform was excellent.
Steve Asaneilean says:
Abuse is what I have seen Tory governments in London dish out to the majority of people living in Scotland most of my adult life.
James Cook vs Alex Thomson …hmmmm…
Incidentally, I got lectured by a unionist on Twitter yesterday for calling Bob Scholey a **n* (speaking ill of the dead, is apparently a terrible thing).
Jings, whit a nice man General Pinochet was, eh..?
aplinal says:
Hitler was also much maligned, apparently.
Re the whole swerry thing. People swear. Big deal. Kitchen Heat etc.
airtteth says:
There is a something quite amusing to see so many unionist professional word-smiths bitterly complaining about being abused with, erm, words.
Obviously, the pen is indeed mightier than the sword. But you’ld think if they were willing to live by the sword they should be prepared to die by it.
I’m sure it was just coincidence, and not a pathetic and moronic publicity stunt, but Rowling apparently had a book published at the same time as the ‘abuse’.
“This is a dangerous and unhealthy state of affairs in a democracy”. The trouble is Paul, while we remain under Westminster’s control, we live in what is an illusion of a democracy. In the real world, it’s no such thing.
Ian MacDonald says:
During the referendum JK Rowling compared independence supporters to Death Eaters. So that’s not just your run-of-the-mill “all nationalists are fascists” comment. That’s independistas are satanic, black-magic-practicising, worshippers-of-the-lord-of-darness fascists. In her books Death Eaters do things like murder children, and use aborted foetuses to come back from the dead. But THAT couldn’t possibly be insulting and offensive to half the population of the foreign country which she has chosen to grace with her presence? I’m tempted to say swerry words myself.
Sounds more like those who actually run the West in truth…
Giving Goose says:
We should take a default stance of deliberately swearing each and every time we engage with Unionist celebs, journos etc. Swamp the internet with abuse so there is simply to much swerry words to report on.
Each Unionist Journo should be actively told to fuck off. They are bastards of the first order.
Each Unionist celeb the same, “Just fuck off Union celeb. You actively campaigned for Scottish children to remain in poverty, so you can fuck right off!” etc
We don’t live in a democracy; it’s controlled by people like Unionist journos and Unionist celebs.
If we take JK Rowling as an example; she donated an awful lot of cash that has resulted in Scots being prevented from obtaining the mechanisms to lift people from poverty, to prevent Government from taking interventionist actions that would help mitigate the downturn in the Steel Industry, that would enhance health care and education etc. So she can fuck right off, in my opinion. And told to loudly and frequently!
fillofficer says:
you laid a gold one there !!
Archie Hamilton says:
In my day to day witterings my wife and daughter, if asked, would probably say that I swear far too much and it is a fact of life that they would be quite correct. However on the odd occasion that I post anything on the internet I find that one of the benefits of proof reading what I’m trying to say, or pausing to see if my comment makes drunken sense, is that the written word shows how little real impact swearing actually has.
I’m not offended by the word fuck, it is literally so commonplace these days that only some poor wee sensitive soul in a dark corner would get upset about it’s use. I still, however, question why so many people rely on the word to such an extent when trying to make their point.
Ally that train of thought to the question of purpose in responding to someone like J K Rowling in this manner and the whole “rammy” was 100% foreseeable, unnecessary and pointless. Regardless of MSM bias, BBC bias and Pro-Union agitators, apart from Facebook Warriors who gets anything out of it?
JGedd says:
Great piece again WGD.
As to JK Rowling and the latest rammy, I know very little of what happened except that she took exception to being briefly sworn at and apparently righteous, artificially-induced fury from media persons – not averse to foul-mouthed invective themselves – was unleashed on her behalf. I know little of this lady’s oeuvre except that her books have won her a phenomenal amount of cash.
Now personally, I don’t do Twitter, and I regard those who do, in a kind of puzzled awe. It seems like descending into howling darkness. However, it appears that Ms Rowling does so and famously entered the fray of politics before the referendum, giving a lot of money and voicing support on the internet and in the press.
it seems to me that if you are going to step into a battle, you would expect to receive some knocks as well as give them and yet she has had no amount of apologists who seem to think that she must remain unassailable. She is entitled to her opinions like everyone else but she has a platform which ordinary people don’t have and the way in which she expressed them was deliberately aimed at people like me in an insulting way. ( Ian MacDonald above has explained her Deatheater description now to me and what a cheek! She only stopped short of calling us Nazis..)
That wasn’t just argument or expressing opinion, that was meant to colour people’s judgement in a pernicious and nasty way. Her “othering” of independence supporters was part of a media campaign to make independence support seem sinister and threatening. She is an intelligent woman and I assume that she knew what she was doing.
As to those who piously equate her with the Weirs, the Weirs, in contrast, while giving money to the SNP, did not enter into public debate and even kept a discreet silence when being attacked themselves by a spiteful press. It also appears that Ms Rowling’s apparent social conscience prevented her from noticing that there were people on her side of the argument who could fit her “Deatheater-ish” description ( the George Square Unionist thugs, for instance ). She also seems to be impervious to the horrors to be inflicted on the poor as a result of staying in her beloved union. But then they can always rely on charitable rich people – who give money to their chosen causes? Hard luck if you don’t meet their criterion of deserving poor.
Morag says:
We’re seeing another example of the media (including the BBC) pushing the establishment line for all it’s worth in the current furore over alleged “new” Lockerbie suspects. (The BBC has given some air time to dissenting voices, including mine, but we’re sort of penned in a dissidents’ ghetto rather than being treated as part of the main narrative.)
The actual story, and it’s a biggie, is this.
Over the last three or four years, more and more evidence has come to light showing, not just that Abdelbaset al-Megrahi’s conviction for the bombing was a miscarriage of justice, but that the entire Lockerbie investigation was off the rails from about day 10. Clear and obvious evidence that the bomb had been introduced at Heathrow airport was ignored in favour of a red herring trail that led eventually to Malta and Megrahi.
Another absolutely killer piece of new evidence was shown to me only last month. This isn’t a fantasy or a conspiracy theory, this is proper forensic investigation being (belatedly) carried out by proper forensic scientists.
One by one all the three main planks of the case against Megrahi have collapsed. The notion that Megrahi was the man who bought the clothes packed in the suitcase with the bomb was shot down in flames by SCCRC in 2007, although we didn’t get to see their report until about 2012. John Ashton has conclusively proved that the Crown’s pet item of evidence, the fragment of circuit board alleged to have been part of a device sold to Libya and the main reason for suspecting Libyan involvement, wasn’t what the Crown said it was and doesn’t have any provable link to Libya. And finally, as I said, it has now been proved that the bomb was introduced into the baggage system at Heathrow, not on Malta. This gives Megrahi a better alibi for the crime than I have.
Frank Mulholland and the Crown Office know all this. Their response is to pretend they’re not listening. Nobody has said anything. Please ignore these tinfoil-hat conspiracy theorists. We have no doubt about Megrahi’s guilt (even if the SCCRC themselves had a shedload of doubt as far back as 2007).
Now we have the distraction effort. Two Libyans who were suspected along with Megrahi and Fhimah back in 1991 but not indicted have been fingered again. Of course this could have been done at any time since, well, 1991 actually, but the Crown Office has chosen to do it now. This is the last thing war-torn Libya needs, but that’s not the Crown Office’s problem. They need something to keep the focus of the narrative on Megrahi, Libya and Malta.
The main reason for choosing right now for this exercise is the recent showing in the USA of a three-documentary series called “My Brother’s Bomber”. This tells the story of Ken Dornstein, who lost his brother on the plane, and his quest to find Megrahi’s alleged accomplices. He was given these Libyans’ names by the FBI and the Crown Office, and off he went to make his films. He doesn’t seem to have discovered anything really substantive, but the films went out anyway.
The overall reason, though, is to keep the media narrative fixed on Libya and the Crown’s pet fairy-story of the levitation of the invisible suitcase on to an aircraft at Malta airport. A fairy-story which is rapidly being shown up for what it is. All this information is in the public domain, but the media don’t want to know.
The narrative we’re getting is all about Masoud and Senoussi and the great cleverness of the investigators in tracking down these evil men who worked with Megrahi. It’s wall-to-wall, spearheaded by the fragrant Magnus Linklater who might as well sign his articles “Frank Mulholland” and be done with it.
How long can they keep this up? I honestly don’t know. When the entire media pack is only interested in promoting and amplifying the establishment line, actual truth and justice can have a hard time being heard. But watch this space.
I knew if anyone had background on this it would be you, sorry I don’t listen to Radio Propaganda Scotland so I missed your interview.
I’ll certainly be watching your space, Morag. Good to see the truth appearing at last. Thank you.
I’ve never been interested in Harry Potter or his creator. But I find it difficult to forgive someone who uses Scotland then helps to deny her people their independence.
If JKR considers herself too delicate to read the odd swear-word she’d best stay away from Joe Pike’s excellent book “Project Fear” where it appears most of the “Better Together” friends swore incessantly……along with A and M Darling. But I would advise JK to gird her loins and read both Pike’s work and of course GA Ponsonby’s brilliant book “How the BBC Stole the Referendum”, simply to educate and inform a writer who is blind to the real Scotland.
I meant to add that I look forward to the documentary based on GA Ponsonby’s book. With Paul involved it will be a cracker. Can’t wait!
Just donated too. We need to take charge and become our own media. As for JAYKAY don’t get me started.
Nice one, Morag. I immediately smelt the broon, smelly stuff when I heard this guff on Radio Pravda the other day.
July 3rd 1988 Uss Vicennes shoots down an Iranian airliner with 290 souls on board for the heinous crime of flying on the same flight path at the same time every week to Dubai, while still inside Iranian airspace!
scroll forward to 21st of December 1988 Pan Am flight 103 is blown out of the sky,
its obvious, of course it was Libya!
It’s not that I don’t agree with you (I do agree with you), it’s just that this is the wrong way round. Issy Fraser asked me on-air who I thought did it. There’s an agenda here. If I say, “the PFLP-GC, commissioned by Iran to do it for $10 million, as an act of revenge for the shooting down of IR655,” I can immediately be branded a conspiracy theorist. (Despite that being the actual police theory for the first 18 months of the investigation.) And as we all know, once you call someone a conspiracy theorist you have won the argument an that person can never be taken seriously again.
So I answered that now wasn’t the time to be speculating about who did it. Until the authorities look at the actual evidence and acknowledge that the bomb went on at Heathrow, this case is going nowhere. Only after they’ve acknowledged that Heathrow was the scene of the crime can we have a proper investigation of what happened there and who might have made it happen, and hopefully identify the real culprits.
Just shouting “look at the great motive Iran had!” doesn’t cut any ice with anyone.
gus1940 says:
And I don’t suppose the latest ‘revelations’ against the 2 Libyans is unconnnected to the fact that Iran is currently in the process of being brought in from the cold.
Jk ‘get tae fuck’ rowling
Or just ‘gettaefuck’ for short.
ArtyHetty says:
As I saw someone had pointed out elsewhere, wtf does jk do all day, she has so mnay millions of £s, and yet, is she doing anything, anything at all to help the poor around the world, or even the poor in the country in which she chooses to reside?
Money goes to money, and she is making sure of that with her crap books and sales. I read H P to my kids years ago, got to chapter 2 and had to stop, because it was sooo badly written. How did they become so hyped up, it’s all wrong.
How does she fckg sleep at night!
In total agreement, Hetty, regarding the worth of JKR’s “work”. Could never understand the hype.
Patience is a Virtue says:
News from the land to the north of the North.. Scottish Office no more… now the ‘UK Government for Scotland’ it seems…(insert swerry word)..
Will that then be the new listening to Scotland ‘UK Government for Scotland’ , that Land with the most devolved democracy in the world with important control over road signs, the Land now basking in everything devolved to it bar Defence and Foreign Affairs?
…and now today the imposition of EVEL….things are moving to their inevitable end….. with the turkeys voting for Christmas.. there will soon be the dark of winter .. and then into the light with next May’s elections and all that is to follow…
Occupation Directorate has a more honest feel…
Should swearing be the norm in the classroom? Teachers and kids? In primary schools?

All unionists should be offered a comprehensive package to leave Scotland for the greenerlusher pastures of the land of milk and honey known as England,that would then leave us free to accept a whole raft of refugees,people that wouldn,t carry around the baggage of subservience and actually commit themselves to Scotland,get shot of them all asap.
Liz S says:
Abuse on twitter is two way traffic. I read that Iain Gray was the one who created the term ‘cybernat’ which is used and much abused in abundance by the SNPBAD brigade. The ‘F’ word , and worse , is par for the course with many in the pro union and anti scot’s mob. .
I personally despise twitter as it gives a license to those of questionable character, under a ridiculous pseudonym , to spout biased and misinformed shit. Twitter offers arse’s the opportunity to say hateful derogatory statements under the safety mask of a fake twitter name .
These twits on twitter retweet other twits tweets ( easy to write , not so easy to say ) to brainwash like minded twits who follow them .
Then we have those who use their real names and have a continuous thread of SNPBAD tweets, in fact if you read some of the pro Labour twitter accounts it would be easy to forget we have a Tory government currently wiping out the human rights of the poor in their disgusting welfare cuts. In fact they even retweet Tory newspaper stories and Tory supporters tweets in their obsession with demonising the SNP.
In Twitter you can hide under an assumed name and have no accountability in spouting racist , abusive and misinformation as long as you are pro union . However , if you court controversy and dispute what is being communicated as news in the MSM in the name of independence you are subjected to a witch hunt by the media and their pro union friends.
Freedom of speech is being interpreted as a right for a select few , the censor of pro indy and SNP supporters opinions are being suppressed and translated as being radical loony ideology.
I have no axe to grind with JK Rowling as I am fully aware of her political allegiance and the support she gave to the ‘NO’ campaign during the referendum so I can put her comments into perspective as being baised against independence and the SNP.
However I do have an axe to grind with the media and pro union brigade who deem to influence those who are less perceptive as to their motives in defending her against a comment made by a pro Indy blogger.
Thank God for WOS and Wee Ginger Dug blogs because the pro union mob are never going to stop their propaganda machine in their Twitter accounts and various blogs.Perhaps they wish a one party twitter and blog state i.e. Pro union anti SNP ( and anti scots ).
They are now frantically digging their glorious Union a watery grave. I’m not sure they even realise…
Just read comments on WOS website and once again trolls adding comments in the guise of reasonable minded individuals albeit pro union ones Duh !, if I were cynical I would suspect some shenanigans being perpetrated at the expense of those loyal and regular contributors of that website. Lets wind up some Pro Indy people …….see who gets most responses .lol
What is even more amazing people are actually falling for it and responding to the morons.
Duh – Pro Indy website ….move along trolls no converts here !
Prefer the F*** off approach as let’s them know their place .
I mean if your anti SNP , pro union then I’m guessing WOS would not really be first port of call to vent your anger and twisted beliefs, misguided as they may be.
Independence is the religion and SNP is the faith with which we currently practice and I for one ain’t going to convert to the religion of unionism so perhaps the trolls should practice their religion in their own places of worship , which I believe are in abundance in Cyberspace.
Oops should be SNP the religion through which we practice the faith of Independence.
A troll was obviously guiding my hand and mind as I typed !!!!!!!!!!!!
EVEL passed 312 – 270.
Light blue touch paper.
http://news.stv.tv/scotland-decides/news/1331221-english-mps-handed-new-powers-as-evel-plans-backed-in-commons/
Back lads they’re using Scottish Bluebells!
They’ve just dismantled the myth of a ‘United Kingdom’ with absolutely no help required from those they termed tartan barbarians. Picture the 2020 manifesto with a four and half year track record of EVEL exclusion examples and that’s if nothing else occurs in the meantime. Every time Scottish representation is excluded from UK votes on the grounds of EVEL and a consequence affecting Scotland occurs will be another nail to hammer home. I mean the threat of at least another ten years of conservative rule was bad and bad enough, along with the examples of their record in government to date as listed by Paul ATL, but this?
They hoped for a quietened Scottish electorate and a generation of robbing us blind. The establishment parties will be lucky to see out the current government term.
A wee taster of the debate and the lurve our mother of parliaments has for us.

Avengers: Endgame Writers Won’t Confirm If Two Captain Americas Exist Throughout The MCU
By Mike Lee 6 months ago
Time travel films are notorious for their convoluted storylines, paradoxical conflicts, and inadvertent plot holes. Despite being a critically praised box office juggernaut, the decades-spanning Avengers: Endgame is no different. While most fans ranged from content to impressed by its time-shattering narrative, anyone who tried to decipher Captain America’s finale was mostly left with a major headache. Did the Steve Rogers who returned to the 1940s create a new timeline, or had there been two Caps throughout the entire MCU this whole time?
As the architects of the plot, writers Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely were tasked with figuring out every bit of the time travel minutia, but don’t expect them to answer that question. The duo held a panel today at San Diego Comic-Con 2019, where they revealed all sorts of behind the scenes info (including an insane Captain America death scene). Yet, the one bit of intel they remained mum on is if an elderly Steve Rogers sat on the sidelines throughout all of the wanton destruction of the past 22 movies.
When pressed by fans for clarification, Markus admitted he’s entertained by the idea that there are two Steve Rogers, but it’s likely the duo will never say for certain at the risk of having to retcon the notion if it’s ever further explored in Falcon and Winter Soldier or another Avengers movie.
Avengers: Endgame Theory Says Old Man Steve Attended Peggy's Funeral
That being said, Endgame directors Joe and Anthony Russo revealed last month that they believe the Captain America who went to the past created a new multiverse branch, only returning to the 2023 timeline to hand over his shield to Sam Wilson in the aftermath of Thanos’ defeat.
“The way that it would work is that when Captain America goes back, he would create a branch reality. Now he would exist in that branch reality with a second Captain America who was frozen in ice…
Now what’s also a story for another time is, of course, if he created a branch reality, he would then have to use a Pym Particle to come back to this reality to hand that shield off.”
So, could we see Steve Rogers pop up once more in the MCU? While Chris Evans may not have any more Marvel films left on the contract, rumors persist that the actor is game for a quick cameo somewhere down the line. That being said, if you’re craving more of America’s ass at this very moment, you can catch a re-release of Avengers: Endgame in theaters right now. Just don’t expect Markus and McFeely to clear up any questions you may have once it’s over.

Classical music: Superb music-making offset awkward acting and dancing in a concert that the Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society gave last weekend. This summer’s last BDDS concerts are tonight, Saturday and Sunday
Here is a special posting, published belatedly but in time for this weekend’s upcoming closing concerts – two performances each of two programs — of the current summer season by the Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society.
It is a review written by frequent guest critic and writer for this blog, John W. Barker. Barker (below) is an emeritus professor of Medieval history at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He also is a well-known classical music critic who writes for Isthmus and the American Record Guide, and who hosts an early music show once a month on Sunday morning on WORT FM 89.9 FM. For years, he served on the Board of Advisors for the Madison Early Music Festival and frequently gives pre-concert lectures in Madison.
Performance photos were taken by Dick Ainsworth for BDDS.
One of the two programs of the Bach Dancing and Dynamite Society’s second weekend this season was held in the Overture Center’s Playhouse last Saturday night.
The associations of its three works with war were somewhat strained, most of all for Robert Schumann’s Three Romances, Op. 94. They were composed in 1849 for the options of oboe and violin or clarinet with piano.
On this occasion they were presented in a transcription for bassoon, made by the performer, Adrian Morejon (below). He played these brief and lovely pieces beautifully, but I confess I would have liked them more if one of the stipulated, higher-range instruments had been used.
The first major work was from the contemporary American composer Kevin Puts (below), called Einstein on Mercer Street. It is a kind of cantata, a half-hour in length, cast in five sections, each beginning with spoken words but moving to singing.
The text, whose origins were not made clear, purports to represent the thinking of Albert Einstein in his last years in Princeton, N.J., as he contemplates his place in science and in the creation of the atomic bomb.
The vocal part was written for baritone Timothy Jones (below center), who performed it this time, delivering it with confident eloquence. To tell the truth, though, a lot of his words, spoken and sung, did not come through clearly, at least for where I sat.
Though the vocal writing goes through one ear and out the other, there is a lot of very pleasant melodic music in the score, and it occurred to me that, with a little tightening, the work could nicely be left just to the instrumental ensemble (violin, cello, flute, clarinet, trumpet, percussion and piano), the vocal part dispensed with — heresy, of course.
The second half of the program was devoted to the classic work of 1918, L’Histoire du Soldat (The Soldier’s Tale), originally with a French text by the Swiss writer Charles Ferdinand Ramuz, and with brilliant music, in the style of blues, jazz and ragtime by Igor Stravinsky.
The spoken text, in a rhymed English translation, calls for three actors: a narrator, a Soldier and the Devil. Jones was quite good as the narrator, but well enough could not be left alone.
With utter arbitrariness, the character of the Soldier was turned into the soldierette “Josie,” so that the Prince he woos and wins becomes a “Princess.”
This absurdity was absolutely pointless, save, perhaps, to allow the two co-directors of the festival, Stephanie Jutt and Jeffrey Sykes (below) to play soldierette and the Devil against each other. In hilarious costumes, the two did well enough, Sykes especially, but the gender change grated all the way through the piece.
And there was another problem. The work was not only written for actors and musicians, but also with dancers in mind. No choreography survives, and the use of dancers in performances of the work is patchy.
Here we had hip-hop dancer Blake Washington introduced during the Three Dances movement as the recovering “Prince,” with a lot of spastic shivering and shaking that suggested more of painful decomposition than recovery.
The stars of the piece, however, were the seven outstanding instrumentalists: violinist Axel Strauss; David Scholl, double bass; Alan Kay, clarinet; Morejon, bassoon; Matt Onstad, trumpet; Dylan Chmura-Moore, trombone; and Anthony di Sanza, percussion. With truly superb playing, they upheld the high standards of the musicians that the BDDS brings us.
For more information about BDDS’ closing concerts this weekend – featuring guest soprano and critically acclaimed UW-Madison alumna Emily Birsan and music by Mozart, Schumann, Saint-Saens, Fauré, Ravel, Prokofiev, Barber and other composers in Madison, Stoughton and Spring Green tonight, Saturday and Sunday, go to: http://bachdancing.org/concerts/festival-concerts/

Respectfully, &c.
1. In a letter on July 20, 1867, John T. Trowbridge had said that William H. Piper and Co., booksellers in Boston, were willing to take 50 copies of the new edition of Leaves of Grass, and that he could personally recommend the firm. The firm was advertised as Whitman's Boston agent in books published in 1871 and 1872. Later Whitman authorized Asa K. Butts and Co. to collect the money Piper owed to him; see Whitman's December 29, 1873 and February 4, 1874 letters to Butts. For more on Trowbridge, see Whitman's December 27, 1863 letter. [back]

Morton Resigns as Head Coach at Catawba College
Catawba College Director of Athletics, Larry Leckonby, has announced that Women’s Basketball Head Coach Angie Morton has resigned. Morton is stepping down to devote more time to her family.
“I appreciate the opportunity I had to return to my alma mater to coach,” stated Morton. “I had a great four years as a student-athlete at Catawba and another 15 as a coach. I’ve been blessed by all the players I have met, the coaches, administration and staff I’ve worked with and the ties I have made in the community.”
Morton guided the Catawba Indians for 15 seasons and leaves as the winningest coach in school history with 238 victories. She posted a pair of 20-win seasons and produced 13 winning campaigns at her alma mater.
“Angie has been an outstanding basketball coach and an outstanding ambassador for Catawba College for the past 15 years,” said Leckonby. “Her teams have consistently won basketball games, while her players have consistently graduated at rates well above the national average. We will miss her greatly but know that she has left the program in an excellent position for the future.”
In her initial season in 2004, she led Catawba to both the South Atlantic Conference regular season and tournament titles and a spot in the NCAA II Southeast Regional. Catawba would make two more regional appearances during Morton’s tenure, qualifying in both 2012 and 2015.
In 2012, Morton was named the SAC Coach of the Year and nearly guided the Lady Indians to an upset in the regional, missing a three-pointer at the buzzer that would have knocked off top-seeded USC Aiken in the opening round.
Morton mentored a pair of SAC Players of the Year and WBCA All-Americans in Danyel Locklear and Dana Hicks and a league Freshman of the Year in Terri Rogers. A total of 26 players earned all-conference honors under Morton.
Catawba will begin an immediate search to fill her position

Back to all destinations
San Francisco truly has something for everyone. The city of an approximate area of only 7 x 7 miles has a colorful history: starting with its Spanish history in the 18th century, followed by the Gold Rush in 1849 and the influx of Chinese immigrants forming Chinatown as well as an integral element of San Francisco's unique culture. The city later became famous as "the Paris of the West" with its colorfully painted Victorian houses and cable cars that today are icons of the "City by the Bay". An earthquake of an estimated 7.8 magnitude devastated the city in 1906. In the 20th century the beatnik poets, thinkers and writers met in the city's North Beach district, which then evolved into the Hippie Generation, Flower Power and the decade of Counterculture. Today, San Francisco experiences more of a "Cyberculture" with many technology and startup companies flocking into the city and the nearby Silicon Valley.
Highlights of the city are its unique and distinct neighborhoods, such as:
Union Square, the city's theater district, cultural center and major shopping area, with the largest concentration of major hotels
Chinatown with its unique architecture and many wonderful shops
North Beach with its rich Italian heritage, an array of cabarets, coffeehouses and restaurants
tranquil and upscale Nob Hill, with superb views of the Bay and historic hotels
the waterfront marketplace Fisherman's Wharf with its many souvenir shops and the famous sea lions
Alcatraz Island with its storied history as site of a lighthouse, US fort, infamous federal prison and the occupation by Indians of All Tribes.
its many world-famous museums (among others the SF MOMA, de Young Museum, Legion of Honor, California Academy of Sciences, Exploratorium to name just a few)
and all kinds of restaurants offering a rich palette of cuisines and world-class standards.
Nearby destinations for day excursions are:
The former fishing village Sausalito and redwood forest Muir Woods National Monument
the Napa and Sonoma Valley wine-growing regions
the Silicon Valley for company visits at startup and global technology companies

Table: Which tractor brand is the most popular used import this year?
Jim Breen
Jul 3, 2019, 7:30pm
Image source: Shane Casey
Figures released to AgriLand reveal which brand was the most popular second-hand (used) imported tractor during the first quarter (January-March inclusive) of this year.
The data comes from the Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport.
The figures indicate that significantly more second-hand (used) New Holland tractors were imported into Ireland than any other brand (during the first three months of 2019).
Image source: Tim Scrivener
In a similar vein, New Holland also led the second-hand (used) tractor import league last year. It’s worth noting that, during the entirety of 2018, a total of 2,198 second-hand (used) tractors were imported into the Republic of Ireland.
This table (below) shows the brand-by-brand data for the first quarter of 2019. However, there may be some anomalies in these figures; don’t neglect to read the accompanying qualifier (by scrolling down further).
Imported used tractors licensed for the first time in the first quarter of 2019:
Data source: Department of Transport, Tourism and Sport
Important qualifier
Though not included in our table (above), the underlying data contained a limited number of entries that referred to self-propelled sprayers and/or telescopic handlers (telehandlers) – identifiable from the brand-names involved. For clarity, we’ve largely removed these.
However, in omitting the JCB figure, for example, not only has any reference to its imported telehandlers / loading shovels been removed but also its imported (Fastrac) tractors.
Moreover, it’s possible that some of the remaining listings in our table include vehicles other than tractors (albeit in a relatively small number of cases).
It should also be noted that some of the classifications are outdated and may, in some limited instances, give rise to confusion or anomalies.
There are, for example, classifications for both Ford and New Holland – as there should be. However, for example, some older models might arguably be classed as either Fords or New Hollands – or both. Is this data accurate?
Similarly, there are classifications for both Valmet and Valtra – as there should be. Again, there was a period (in the transition from Valmet to Valtra Valmet and then, ultimately, Valtra) when such tractors might have fallen under either classification or both.
Image source: Justin Roberts
Also noteworthy is the situation whereby Case IH’s (founding and current) brands are individually listed as David Brown, International, Case and Case IH. Looking at the table, we suspect that many imported Case IH tractors have found their way into the Case category.
Interestingly, according to a departmental report – Irish Bulletin of Vehicle and Driver Statistics 2018 – circa 75,000 tractors were licensed (taxed) for road use here in Ireland last year.

India @ 62
It's my blog's Paper Anniversary! Yet another year into the democratic way of life! India turns 62 (the new prescribed age for retirement). Well there has not been much change in the way of life. Things looked little disciplined in between but then "Yeh Hai Hindustan Meri Jaan!!!"
So some questions that still remain unanswered are as follows:
Why is the media here so negative?
Why are we in India so embarrassed to recognize our own strengths, our achievements? We are such a great nation. We have so many amazing success stories but we refuse acknowledge them--- Why?
We are the first in milk production.
We are number one in Remote sensing satellites.
We are the second largest producer of wheat.
We are the second largest producer of rice.
Look at Dr. Sudarshan , he has transferred the tribal village into a self-sustaining, self-driving unit. There are millions of such achievements but our media is only obsessed in the bad news and failures and disasters. In India we only read about death, sickness, terrorism, crime.
Another question: Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things?
We want foreign T. Vs, we want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology.
Why this obsession with everything imported. Do we not realize that self-respect comes with self-reliance? I happened to meet a 14 year old girl on the Independence Day I asked her what did she wish to see on the next Independence Day. She replied: I want to live in a developed India .
For her, you and I will have to build this developed India .We must proclaim.
India is not an under-developed nation; it is a highly developed nation.
Asia Business and Economy Developed country Economic growth Government India India at 61 Republic Day United States
In the service of the Goddess of Tuljapur
May 2013, Tuljapur
This place will never change. It has been the same for ten years now- I explained Charolette.
Charollete was a fellow intern at Deshpande Foundation in Hubli along with us- a bunch of enthusiastic folks who wanted to make a difference. She had decided to embark on an unplanned journey to Tuljapur to attend my brother's thread ceremony. Both of us took the early morning bus to Bijapur as we kicked off the weekend. The bus danced to the beats of the loud music as much as the blinking lighting in hues of sunset. The bus reminded me of a bride- decked up with accessories on the glass and along the windows, lights to show off the new varnish that a single pair of eyes would not miss on the road. The next four hours was seemingly not tedious as we managed to catch a nap till we touched down Bijapur. Within few minutes, we crashed in my sisters' hostel room for a quick refresh.
It is a big deal when you have a white friend who is not Indian and a bigger deal whe…
Coast to Coast: Day 7
Unbelievably, the trip was to come to an end tonight. The very thought brought in mixed emotions. Aastha and I were determined to witness the last east coast sunrise (I was sure the next sunrise I see will not be in Bangalore). Google helped us with the time, and we were at the Gandhi beach at 6:00am. Pondicherry and the people felt way friendlier. I could see countless health freaks run, walk, jog along the beach. We also had another great mind like ours, present at the venue to click the sunrise. However, we did not bother to reciprocate to his smile and hello gesture!
We accomplished mission 'Capture Sunrise' by 7:00am and felt rather enthusiastic. The thought of returning to the guest house vanished and we chose to explore the streets of Pondicherry all by ourselves. It was going to be a Girls Day Out! The twist that no restaurants would open before 8:00am added to our misery.We crossed streets right, left and center to reach a venue for a healthy breakfast.We sat cross…
I realized how strongly togetherness could beat the thought of any apprehension at such times...!
Aastha was up early, all set to visit the temple. We dressed to fulfill the temple traditions (including Dhruv and Mihir) as per our research on Google and advice from near and dear. The walk to temple was little less than 2mins but what surprised us was the queue that reminded me of the Pied Piper of Hamelin! Aastha and I chose to step in first, make way and share our path to success with the guys who were hand holding the caught camera. It was a Monday, I closed my eyes to visualize the linga in Somnath to offer prayers from a stainless steel railing 600m away. Looks like the guys followed the same strategy and came out in no time.
After a breakfast in the most locale place possible, we changed to fight the sun and sand in Dhanushkodi. It was a day of experiencing 'means of transport'. We got into a 4 seater rick to take us to Dhanushkodi after a heavy bargain. The next in line …
Ever considered all these?????????

News - Scottish Album of the Year Shortlist
The shortlist got announced on Friday evening for this year's Scottish Album of the Year (SAY) award...
The Shortlist for The SAY Award 2018, showcasing albums created by artists living and working in Scotland, is as follows (see below for more information on each of the albums and to listen to some of the tracks):
BABE - Kiss & Tell
Best Girl Athlete - Best Girl Athlete
Franz Ferdinand - Always Ascending
Golden Teacher - No Luscious Life
Karine Polwart with Pippa Murphy - A Pocket of Wind Resistance
Kobi Onyame - Gold
Mogwai - Every Country’s Sun
Out Lines - Conflats
Siobhan Wilson - There Are No Saints
Young Fathers - Cocoa Sugar
Launched in 2012, The SAY Award celebrates and champions the best of Scottish music by awarding the most outstanding Scottish albums released each year whilst recognising creativity and artistic endeavour encompassing a broad spectrum of musical genres. Respected by artists and valued by the industry, it is responsible for a surge in musical discovery and an explosion of impassioned debate on social media. Previous SAY Award winners are Sacred Paws’ ‘Strike A Match’ (2017), Anna Meredith’s ‘Varmints’ (2016), Kathryn Joseph’s ‘Bones You Have Thrown Me And Blood I’ve Spilled’ (2015), Young Fathers’ ‘Tape Two’ (2014), RM Hubbert’s ‘Thirteen Lost & Found’ (2013) and Bill Wells & Aidan Moffat’s ‘Everything’s Getting Older’ (2012).
This year's Shortlist was chosen by a highly-respected panel of judges including Strawberry Switchblade’s Rose McDowall, BAFTAaward-winning film maker Lynne Ramsay and curator of National Museum Scotland’s ‘Rip It Up: The Story of Scottish Pop’, Stephen Allen. Each Shortlisted album has automatically won a guaranteed £1,000 prize, with the winning album (decided on the night of the Ceremony) being awarded £20,000. The 72-hour voting window, which closed at midnight on Wednesday, saw a record number of Public Votes being cast by engaged music fans, all hoping to secure their favourite Longlisted album a place on the 2018 SAY Award Shortlist. The winner of the Public Vote was Franz Ferdinand for ‘Always Ascending’.
The Shortlist was exclusively revealed on Friday evening at a special BBC Radio Scotland Quay Session hosted by Roddy Hart. The live show and broadcast included previews of new material from pop-duo Sacred Paws whose debut album, ‘Strike a Match’, won the coveted SAY Award in 2017. Also performing was Lomond Campbell (Longlisted in 2012 for Found’s celebrated album ‘Factorycraft’), and Dunfermline’s finest post punk quintet The Skids, famous for their hits ‘Into the Valley’, ‘Working for the Yankee Dollar’ and ‘Masquerade’.
Alan Morrison, Head of Music at Creative Scotland said “Scotland’s world-class music is driven by the diversity of the artists who make it, and this year’s SAY Award shortlist shines a spotlight on the breadth of talent we have living and working here. These ten albums contain music that will touch the listener’s heart or set their feet dancing – sometimes both at the same time. They draw in influences from near and far, as pop hooks, folk melodies, international rhythms and post-rock firepower paint a widescreen portrait of what Scottish music can be in the 21st century. Creative Scotland is proud to support an award that embraces such a dynamic group of musicians, veterans and newcomers alike.”
Paul Thomson of Franz Ferdinand added "This year has been a particularly good one for music coming out of Scotland and the SAY Award longlist and shortlist reflects that. We’re delighted to be up there with the hard hitters.”
The final award ceremony takes place on Thursday 6th September in the elegant surroundings of Paisley Town Hall, with support from Renfrewshire Council.
MORE ABOUT THE SHORTLIST
BABE ‘Kiss & Tell’:
BABE, Glasgow’s premier secret party band, are back after a two year absence with new album ‘Kiss & Tell’, the follow-up to the often unclassifiable, yet class, 2014 debut ‘Volery Flighty’.The band, made up of singer-leader Gerard Black, guitarist Thomas Ogden, bassist Amaury Ranger (Francois and the Atlas Mountains) and new drummer/producer John Baillie Jnr (Bossy Love) have regrouped and refocused to deliver a record as much for the quiet hours as it is for the house party.
Kiss and Tell by Babe
Best Girl Athlete ‘Best Girl Athlete’:
Best Girl Athlete has been born out of the non-conventional manner in which many people now consume music - collecting individual offerings, rather than whole albums. Consequently, each song here stands alone as a single offering with lyrically intriguing, musically accomplished depth that will draw on audiences from across the board.
Best Girl Athlete by Best Girl Athlete
Franz Ferdinand ‘Always Ascending’:
A triumphant recasting, Franz Ferdinand's ‘Always Ascending’ is as exuberant as it is euphoric, bursting with fresh ideas born of what Alex Kapranos calls “aggressive sonic experimentation”. With the help of producer Philippe Zdar (Cassius, Phoenix, Beastie Boys), Kapranos and co. took a knife to their old canvas, producing an album that is so foreign in its familiarity it could only be current. A sound that the singer refers to as "simultaneously futuristic and naturalistic”.
Golden Teacher ‘No Luscious Life’:
After blowing minds, bodies and souls through a plethora of critically acclaimed 12"s, direct live performances and celebrated DIY ethos Golden Teacher drop their album: straight out of Glasgow’s now legendary Green Door studio these seven cuts show the sextet's impossible-to-pigeonhole sound. A range of distinctively spacey, dubbed-out tracks that variously touch on post-punk disco, skewed electro-funk, freshly baked dub, African rhythms, spaced-out boogie, experimental electro-jazz and much more besides.
No Luscious Life by Golden Teacher
Karine Polwart With Pippa Murphy 'A Pocket Of Wind Resistance’:
‘A Pocket Of Wind Resistance’ is the studio adaptation of Karine Polwart's award- winning theatre show which premiered at Edinburgh International Festival in 2016. From the first note to the final, pulsing heartbeat, it is not merely an album of songs but an hour of music, field-recording, song and spoken word. It won The Scottish New Music Award For Innovation In Music and was chosen as Best Album of 2017 by Songlines Magazine and BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction.
Kobi Onyame ‘Gold’:
‘Gold’ sonically takes the listener on a journey, mashing Kobi’s Ghanaian heritage with hip-hop undertones. Kobi wanted to capture the feel of traditional highlife and afrobeat rhythms of the 1960’s and 70’s using percussions and brass melodies. The call-and-response structure of the songs demand the listener to be a part of the experience. The verses can be choruses, the choruses are chants. He wanted the album to feel as authentic as possible in content and texture. It’s an almost wistful echo of a yearning for home and originality that somehow has its roots in the past and present simultaneously.
Mogwai ‘Every Country’s Sun’:
‘Every Country’s Sun’ is Mogwai’s 9th studio album giving them their 2nd Top 10 Album Chart placing. The recording saw them reuniting with producer Dave Fridmann for the first time since 2001’s acclaimed ROCK ACTION LP; Fridmann also worked with the band on Come On Die Young (1999). It was recorded at Fridmann’s Tarbox Road Studios in Cassadaga, New York.
Out Lines ‘Conflats’: Singer, songwriter & musician Kathryn Joseph, James Graham of The Twilight Sad and long-time musical partner of Kathryn's, Marcus Mackay came together for ‘Out Lines’, a project based on conversations they had with visitors to Glasgow's Platform. The outcome the stunning album ‘Conflats’, a gorgeous set of songs inspired by stories of hardship and sorrow, redemption and hope.
Siobhan Wilson ‘There Are No Saints’:
Written, arranged and performed by Siobhan Wilson (vocals, electric guitar, piano, cello) and recorded by Chris McCrory (Catholic Action) in Bishopton, Renfrewshire, ‘There Are No Saints’ featured extensively in the UK’s underground music press ‘best of’ lists for 2017 and earned rhapsodic reviews from BBC 6 Music to Rolling Stone. Sparse arrangements of electric guitar, piano and cello lay bare dreamlike vocals and lyrical honesty.
There Are No Saints by Siobhan Wilson
Young Fathers ‘Cocoa Sugar’:
Formed in Edinburgh in 2008 by Alloysious Massaquoi, Kayus Bankole and Graham 'G' Hastings. In 2012, they released their introductory mixtapes, Tape One and Tape Two. The trio then signed to Big Dada and released debut album, ‘Dead’, in 2014. Following an extensive world tour the band begin work on their sophomore album, ‘White Men Are Black Men Too’, which was released in 2015.

When The Storms Would Come
My Own Pool of Light
I’ve liked Halsey’s music for about 4 years now. While I don’t like everything that she’s put out, watching her artistic progression over the years has been interesting to say the least. In 2019, Halsey released the single “Nightmare”, which she had hoped would signal a new phase in her career. It quickly became one of my favourite songs of that year - a fresh surge of furious pop-rock energy that I had hoped would steer her career in a bold, new direction. ... read more
Hopeless Fountain Kingdom has always seemed to me like an album that was full of ideas, but lacks the right execution to pull it all together. Say what you want about Badlands, that album feels consistent sonically. Many of the songs on that album are built from the same dark indie-pop mould, and I feel like perhaps that works in that album’s favour.
On Hopeless Fountain Kingdom, Halsey attempts to diversify her sound with some mixed results. The album definitely more aimed at sound of ... read more
Yep, I’m a Halsey fan. Not something I really wanted to admit, but yeah, I’ve been following her career with great interest since I first heard about her in 2015.
Looking at it from an analytical perspective, Halsey’s debut album Badlands has many flaws. I will not deny that. Most obviously, the album is certainly a product of its time - a post-Pure Heroine era which gave rise to a moodier version of pop. Certainly, there are similarities to Lorde’s early work which do ... read more
Jan 10, 2020*
Selena Gomez releases the first major pop album of 2020 with her third solo effort, Rare. While I can’t say I was ever a big fan of Selena’s music (I felt her musical peers were making much more interesting music), her 2017 single “Bad Liar” did pique my interest for a moment. With its minimal instrumental, references to the Battle of Troy and sample of the bassline from Talking Heads’ “Psycho Killer”, I had to believe that Selena was starting to show ... read more
On Paint, Holy Holy expands their sound with more prominent usage of drum machines (“That Message”) and shimmering new wave synths on tracks such as “True Lovers” and “Send My Regards”. Thought the guitar work on this album not too different from their debut, it is drenched in reverb and slightly less prominent, perhaps foreshadowing the shift away from guitars the band would pursue with their following album. The result is a modernised update of 80’s ... read more

Supp! I'm doing a challenge at the moment, the "out of my comfort-zone challenge". This is a challenge where I need to listen projects, I normally wouldn't listen too. After some listen I need to state my opinions in a review. If you would suggest an album to me, it would be great! As long as they aren't metal, hip hop or rap!
worked really hard on it

Facebook has removed 1.5 million copies of the mosque attack video. New Zealand says it needs to do more
Posted 5:19 am, March 18, 2019, by CNN Wire
NEW ZEALAND — New Zealand’s prime minister is upping the pressure on Facebook and other social media platforms after they failed to stop the spread of the Christchurch mosque attack video.
Prime Minster Jacinda Ardern said Monday that the tech companies have “a lot of work” to do to curb the proliferation of content that incites hate and violence. Part of the attack Friday, in which 50 people at two different mosques were killed, was livestreamed on Facebook, and the video spread rapidly on YouTube, Twitter and other platforms.
Tech companies have been scrambling to clamp down on the graphic footage.
Facebook said Sunday that it removed 1.5 million videos of the attack in the first 24 hours. It blocked 1.2 million of them at upload, meaning they would not have been seen by users. Facebook didn’t say how many people had watched the remaining 300,000 videos.
Facebook’s ability to automatically block 1.2 million videos at upload “tells me there are powers to take a very direct approach to instances of speech that incites violence, or that incites hate,” Ardern said at a news conference Monday.
She urged all social media companies to take responsibility for how their platforms were used in the lead-up to the mosque attack and in the aftermath.
Facebook initially missed the livestream of the attack on Friday. The company said it took it down only after being alerted to it by New Zealand police.
It said Sunday that it’s trying to take down the video in any form, including clips of it that don’t feature any graphic content as well as posts expressing praise or support for the shooting.
Google, which owns YouTube, declined to comment Monday on its latest efforts to take down the videos. Twitter didn’t respond to a request for comment.
Fertile environments for hate
Many experts agree with Ardern that tech companies could do a great deal more to tackle the spread of hate-fueled and violent content, an issue over which they have faced recurrent criticism for years.
The big social media platforms have expended more effort policing copyrighted material than the kind of graphic content posted by the Christchurch shooter, according to Jean Burgess, a professor of digital media studies at Queensland University of Technology in Australia.
As a result, Facebook, Twitter and YouTube have become fertile environments in which extremist subcultures can thrive and organize, she said.
“These platforms are now racing to stamp out the sharing of media content for which they bear at least some responsibility,” Burgess said.
Facebook’s failure to catch the video before being alerted by police comes amid repeated pledges from the company about moderating content on its platform. Facebook, Twitter and other tech giants are under intense scrutiny for how they are used to spread misinformation, hate speech and graphic content.
In response, Facebook says it has hired tens of thousands of human moderators and is investing in artificial intelligence to help police their sites.
“We continue to work around the clock to remove violating content using a combination of technology and people,” Mia Garlnick, spokesperson for Facebook New Zealand, said Sunday.
The company said it started “hashing” the Christchurch shooting video, which means that videos posted on Facebook and Instagram that are visually similar to the original can be detected and automatically removed. It’s also using audio technology to find posts of the video where the images are not as easily detected or not a match with the videos already removed.
‘The largest platforms can still be misused’
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg is yet to make a public statement about the Christchurch attack. When the murder of a man in Ohio was livestreamed on Facebook in 2017, Zuckerberg offered condolences to the victim’s family two days later.
Facebook didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment on whether or when Zuckerberg plans to comment on the New Zealand attack.
US Senator Mark Warner, who sits on a committee that has questioned the social media companies, said on Friday that it wasn’t just Facebook that needed to be held accountable.
“The rapid and wide-scale dissemination of this hateful content — live-streamed on Facebook, uploaded on YouTube and amplified on Reddit — shows how easily the largest platforms can still be misused. It is ever clearer that YouTube, in particular, has yet to grapple with the role it has played in facilitating radicalization and recruitment,” Warner said in a statement provided to CNN.
YouTube and Twitter haven’t commented on the spread of the graphic videos since Friday.
YouTube said then that it was “working vigilantly to remove any violent footage.”
Twitter said it was “continuously monitoring and removing any content that depicts the tragedy, and will continue to do so in line with the Twitter Rules.”

Peace in a Time of Net Curtains
It was a warm, bright July morning and I was in a good mood. The previous day, London had won its bid to host the 2012 Olympic Games. There were celebrations throughout the city. My husband and I were overjoyed as the Olympic site would be within walking distance of our East End home. Exciting stuff!
I set off for work - boarding the Jubilee Line at Canning Town heading for Green Park. At the time, I was working for the Commonwealth Foundation, an international organisation providing an invaluable link - a safe space - between Commonwealth governments and civil society. It was committed to working towards a peaceful and equitable society. Located in Marlborough House on Pall Mall - the Foundation was a short walk from the station.
However, as the train approached Westminster, passengers were instructed to alight and leave the station ASAP due to ‘a problem with the power supply’. There was nothing particularly out of the ordinary in this request - ‘problems’ on the underground were not uncommon. I continued my journey on foot.
I arrived at Marlborough House and headed directly to my office. As I walked down the corridor, I noticed windows had been left open overnight. The net curtains were pulled back and billowing in the breeze. Although the building was undeniably majestic, it could become unbearably hot and stuffy in the summer. Every office I passed was empty. I reached my office, turned on the computer and checked the phone for messages. There were over a dozen. As I was listening to apologies from staff encountering difficulties getting in, a colleague burst through.
“There’s been an explosion on the underground! Check your computer!’’
Three bombs had exploded in quick succession. News was sketchy. The underground was completely shut down. And then, the fourth bomb went off on a bus in Tavistock Square. It felt like we were under siege. The phone rang - another colleague.
“I’m sorry I’m late. My tube station’s closed. I’ll try to get a bus.”
“Don’t,” I said. “Turn back. There are bombs. The city centre is closed. It’s not safe.”
I fielded more calls from colleagues and instructed everyone to return home. My husband phoned to make sure I was okay. And then, silence. The phone system was overloaded. Unable to leave, I went through the building closing windows and making sure the net curtains were closed and weighted down. Better safe than sorry. I remembered this routine from decades before. Net curtains - it took me back.
When I first visited London, I noticed many old buildings had net curtains in the windows. I thought it odd. I associated net curtains with little old ladies - not public buildings. It was explained to me that the curtains provided protection for those inside. The sheers - thick, overly long and sagging at the bottom - were held in place by weights sewn into the hems. In the event of an explosion (World War II or IRA bombs), the nets would catch the flying glass from the shattering windows.
During my subsequent career in London, I worked in several buildings that had these sheers. I’d secured them on a number of occasions during IRA attacks. However, after the truce in Northern Ireland, there no longer seemed a need for net curtains.
On 7 July 2005, as I closed and adjusted the sheers to protect colleagues from possible imploding glass; as I felt my earlier optimism disappear; as my body tensed and a long-forgotten edginess returned - I realised that a precious thing had been lost - peace.
It’s startling how you don’t realise you are living in a time of peace - until that peace is broken.

Apocalypse Later Music Reviews

Exhumed - Horror (2019)
Style: Death Metal
Release Date: 4 Oct 2019
Sites: Bandcamp | Facebook | Instagram | Metal Archives | Twitter | Wikipedia | YouTube
It seems rather appropriate to follow up an Alice Cooper release with a new album simply titled Horror. The band are Exhumed, one of California's finest death metal bands. They founded in 1990, split up in 2005 and got back together in 2010 and this is their fourth album since then, more than they released before they split, if we ignore the gratuitous covers album Garbage Daze Re-Regurgitated, as glorious as its title was.
What seemed immediately obvious was how lo-fi the recording is. It's a much quieter recording than anything else I've heard lately. In fact, everything seems to be buried in the mix. We have to turn up to eleven just to hear the band. However, it has no hesitation about leaping into action at high speed. Exhumed are old school death metal with a heavy side dose of grindcore and I have to admit I haven't delved into that of late, so this seemed fresh.
Even with fifteen songs on offer, this runs shorter than Reign in Blood, the infamously short Slayer album. Like Reign in Blood, this blisters along with hardly a moment to catch our breath and there a couple of screams that feel highly reminiscent of Tom Araya's legendary first take for Angel of Death. I only see five songs over two minutes and none over three. The shortest, as I guess has been traditional for grindcore at least since Napalm Death's You Suffer, is Utter Mutilation of Your Corpse at a mere seven seconds, four of which are fadeout.
There's very little variety here, of course. Mike Hamilton's drum kit is set to ludicrous speed for almost the entire album, a slower section in The Red Death only being slower as a relative concept. The guitars of mainstay Matt Harvey, the sole founder member, and new fish Sebastian Philips are often a blur but, after a while, the riffs start to emerge. So do the solos and I'm still not sure how they find time for two of those into a two minute song like Rabid.
I'm sure the bass of the wonderfully named Matt Sewage is somewhere in there too but I have no idea where. He's more overtly present as one of two voices in play, which offer far more contrast than harsh/harsh might suggest. One's much deeper than the other. Which one's Sewage and which is Harvey I haven't a clue. I'd have to go back to mid-period albums, as Sewage is on his second stint with the band and I really can't remember.
This really takes me back to my youth when grindcore was new and I couldn't tell the difference between most of the tracks but loved the sheer burst of energy that they provided. If thrash metal cleaned me out, grindcore was an evil alternate universe version that shattered me into pieces and then put me back together again, maybe in a different order. Some of those pits were insane and the bands weren't far behind. I don't think I've seen anyone on drums faster than whoever played for Intense Degree.
The challenge, of course, is to maintain that energy spike across an entire album. Exhumed do a pretty good job at that here, benefitting from the short running time and the many gaps between tracks. Songs do blur together but a couple of listens allows some to emerge as favourites. Mine is Ripping Death, without any doubt. Its chorus of "Ripping death, ripping fucking death" is a shopping list for the younger me back in 1989. I like Dead Meat too, a blitz at only 34 seconds, again including fadeout. Its chorus is exactly what you expect: "Dead meat. Dead meat. Dead meat. Dead meat!"
The pros are obvious. This is blitzkrieg stuff, for those who believe that Reign in Blood just wasn't fast or aggressive enough. This feels old school, though, as if it was new when the movie in the faux poster cover came out on VHS. Maybe that comes from them writing what are really pop songs sped up to crazy tempos. There are verses and choruses and hooks and that's not always the case with grindcore.
The cons mostly tie to the genre. I still like grindcore, but I find that I can't immerse myself in it for days any more. While there's variety here, it pales in comparison to what I find in folk metal or even melodic death metal when the band is someone like Insomnium. My biggest criticism here is that the album just ends, as if there might be other tracks coming later but they haven't downloaded yet. But hey, just put the album on repeat to solve that.

Discipline Area: Engineering, Information and Computing Sciences
Fellowship project summary
Solar-driven sustainable production of fuels and chemicals (FL170100154)
This project aims to address the efficient and sustainable production of fuels and chemicals using abundant sources like water, carbon dioxide and sunlight by an integrated reaction system. Through understanding molecular design principles and material engineering, this project expects to develop a range of novel electrocatalysts featuring high activity, efficiency, selectivity and stability for carbon dioxide reduction and hydrogen evolution reactions. These new catalysts will facilitate a hybrid reaction cell as artificial leaf mimics by associating photocatalysis and electrocatalysis processes. The expected outcome of this project is of great importance for solar fuel generation and carbon dioxide utilisation, which are the key energy and environmental challenges facing Australia and the world today. This will provide benefits such as an innovative system of solar energy transformation that will lead to the production of fuels and key chemicals in an efficient, selective and sustainable form, ultimately bringing environmental benefits through much smaller greenhouse gas emissions.

When Apple Watch released its latest operating system in September, along with it came a new feature called Cycle Tracking, which allows women to track their menstrual cycles and keep tabs on signs of fertility. It’s the latest in natural fertility tracking technology that’s been available in the United States for roughly the past decade.
Several local natural family planning practitioners in the Archdiocese of St. Louis have said that while it’s been good to see a surge of interest in natural fertility tracking, consumers need to research and consider whether these apps and other devices are truly serving their needs.
A 2016 study published by several health care professionals found that the majority of fertility apps are neither founded on evidence-based fertility awareness based methods (FABMs), nor were they designed for avoiding pregnancy. The study, published by Dr. Marguerite Duane and several others in the Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine, also noted that several popular apps that use their own algorithms are difficult to assess, because they haven’t been evaluated in peer-reviewed literature.
Mary Lee Barron, founder and director of Marquette Fertility Education in St. Louis, said she began downloading fertility tracking apps to test their effectiveness when they first emerged almost a decade ago. She stopped doing that after a surge in development, now with thousands of apps on the market in the United States. She said it’s important for an app to be able to predict the fertile window, she said, as well as have the option to track multiple signs of fertility, including ovulation test results, mucus, basal body temperature, and other symptoms, including spotting and premenstrual syndrome. Fewer than 10 apps on the market allow for prediction of the fertile window, Barron said.
Barron presented on the clinical use of fertility monitoring technologies at the Fertility Appreciation Collaborative to Teach the Science (FACTS) conference in Dallas in October. Her presentation included a segment on fertility tracking as a basis for examining a woman’s reproductive physiology, and diagnosis of potential disorders and treatment. She is a family nurse practitioner and associate professor with the School of Nursing at Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville.
Barron said it’s important for those who are using apps to have the ability to share data with their NFP instructor, nurse practitioner or physician so that potential fertility or gynecological issues can be identified. The Marquette Method and other Church-approved methods of natural family planning offered in the St. Louis area include one-to-one instruction from a trained educator as well as the ability to track cycles via an app.
“I tell couples learning NFP is experiential learning,” Barron said. “The other kind of experiential learning we do is driving a car. We stress the importance of having a teacher in helping you learn the method, just as you would learn to drive a car.”
In September, the Saint Paul VI Institute for the Study of Human Reproduction in Omaha, Nebraska, debuted the FertilityCare app for digital tracking of the Creighton Model FertilityCare System, another Church-approved method of natural family planning. The web-based application includes the ability to electronically chart cycles, with data stored on a HIPAA-compliant server, and communication between the client and instructor.
Alia Keys, a Creighton Model practitioner and educator with Mercy FertilityCare Services in St. Louis, and project manager for the FertilityCare app, said the decision to use a web-based application gives clients with Android and Apple devices access to the same app, updates are automatic, and couples are able to access their shared account from separate devices.
“The educational process of learning to chart is so important to method effectiveness,” Keys said. Clients obtain access to the app through their instructor and first chart three months’ worth of menstrual cycles on paper. “This leads to the outcomes that people want,” she said.
Keys said that feedback from clients has been positive so far, and the development team is working on adding new features to the app over time.
It’s important to be wary of anything that promises too much, she said of tracking apps. “Technology should be at the service of the person,” she said. “The focus of a fertility tracking app should address the individual educational needs of women and couples. We need to first teach women to track their cycles and then give them the technology do it well.”
Learn NFP
The archdiocesan Office of Natural Family Planning provides information on five models of natural family planning, which are taught at numerous Catholic hospitals and at parishes. Those models include the Billings Ovulation Method, Creighton Model FertilityCare Services, Marquette Model, Couple to Couple and SymptoPro Fertility Education.
For more information on natural family planning, including locations where NFP is taught, call the Office of Natural Family Planning at (314) 997-7847 or visit archstl.org/natural-family-planning.

HP gets the axe out again
Pete Young (ARN) 09 November, 2001 10:32
Impact Systems Technology
Wholesale IT
Hewlett Packard is quietly making fresh cuts to its Australian workforce on top of the worldwide reduction of 6,000 jobs announced last August.
Latest to feel the pinch is HP's Queensland operation which this week lost 10 percent of its headcount. Staff numbers dropped to 33 from 37, and the departures included state branch manager and principal consultant Doug Stevenson.
Although HP won't officially reveal figures, it is believed the August cuts affected about six percent of HP's 1,500 to 2,000 staff across virtually all locations and business units.
A company spokesman said the Queensland reduction was "the last we know of at this time."
However other HP sources said staff have been told the company can't guarantee the process is at an end.
The first cut in August was "a minimalist approach" which has had to be augmented by later rounds because of the business confidence shocks administered by the Sept 11 terrorist attacks, according to one HP executive.
The Queensland downsizing effectively eliminates HP's consulting division there. That work will now be handled from Sydney, according to a company spokesman.
The new Queensland branch manager is Conor MacManus.
Outgoing manager Doug Stevenson is a seasoned IT executive who spent 17 years with KPMG before becoming head of HP's Queensland operation eight years ago.
A former Queensland convenor of the Australian Information Industry Association (AIIA) and a board member of Enabling Queensland, a government-backed task force on IT training, Stevenson said he will be staying in the industry.

10/08/2013 Andy Lattal Behavior Analysis
We’re a combination of levers; that’s how we move.
Paul Vanderburgh, U. of Dayton Physiologist; Quoted in NY Times, November 5, 2012 (“Why Women Can’t Do Pull Ups”)
Is man a machine? It’s an age-old question in philosophy, physiology, and psychology. Physiologists early on were divided into mechanists and vitalists, the latter being those who believed in a nonmechanical force that gave the body “life.” As you can imagine, this is a hot topic for philosophers and psychologists as well. A wellspring of thinking about the behavior of humans was the writing of sixteenth century French Philosopher René Déscartes. He suggested a distinction between mechanical and self-controlled behavior of humans. In modern psychology, those distinctions became points on a continuum rather than a one-or-the-other dichotomy. Those with a neuroscience bent anchor on the mechanistic or reflexive side of the continuum and the so-called “humanistic” psychologists anchor on behavior as voluntary, under self-control. But what about behaviorists?
Déscartes’s ideas about the reflex appeared in the early experimental work of Ivan Pavlov in Russia at the beginning of the 20th century. It wasn’t long after Pavlov’s work was reported in English that the father of behaviorism, John B. Watson, was supporting Pavlov’s methods in behavioral psychology. Enter B. F. Skinner, who distinguished reflexive or automatic behavior from operant behavior in 1937. The word ‘operant’ is important. It implies that the performer’s behavior operates on the environment. Skinner never considered man a machine or the behavior of humans as automatic or mechanical in the way we think about robots or characters as portrayed in the novel The Manchurian Candidate, conditioned to kill “reflexively” or automatically at the sight of the Queen of Hearts.
So, operant behavior is neither automatic nor mechanical, but what is it? It is orderly and not random or capricious. It is predictable. However, it is not predictable in a simple automatic way such that “if stimulus A occurs, response B will occur” kind of way, as in the way that a knee-jerk reflex occurs (tap the knee in the right spot, the leg kicks up). Operant behavior is more subtle than that. In the presence of some stimulus (the letter A, for example), a predictable response occurs (saying the letter “a”), but the relation between the two is not biomechanical like the knee jerk reflex nor is it “mentalistically mechanical,” occurring through some other-worldly mechanical connection between letters and sounds. The response “a” occurs because the environment in which we live (that includes parents, teachers, and others who instruct and reinforce actions on our part, including matching letters and sounds) selects certain responses for reinforcement in the presence of certain stimuli. The cause of operant behavior, then, is not mechanical connections but differential reinforcement through shaping.
The sneaky and often confusing thing about behavior is that it can appear mechanical when in fact nothing could be further from the truth. We talk about doing things automatically or mechanically or “without thinking about them,” like brushing our teeth or dialing a phone number, but they are mechanical only as we describe them. The real force behind them is a history of learning as outlined above. We sometimes also refer to such automatic behavior as habits, which is an interesting topic on its own to be considered in a future commentary.

The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up
This Is How You Lose the Time War
The Girl Who Wrote in Silk
J. Stickney
Amazing Series and Narrator!!
I loved this so much! I highly recommend this series. The story line and the characters are great. This narrator is also amazing! I hope to listen to more from this author and narrator in the future!
Nice follow up
This follow up book is a great adventure. The world-building is a bit stronger, as is the science fiction part of the equation. The romance, however, left something to be desired. Slow burn is one thing, but I felt like the book spent too much time with the leads too far apart, even when physically together.
Catherine Normand
Same story as the previous novel
Obviously, there are some differences, but overall it is pretty much the same. The narrator is terrible at male voices. But it wasn’t the worst book I’ve ever listened to.

At UMFA’s ‘Power Couples’ exhibit, it takes two to tango – Google Alerts
View 8 Items
Utah Museum of Fine Arts
Gallery view of “Power Couples: The Pendant Format in Art” at the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, on display through Dec. 8.
SALT LAKE CITY — Along a wall in the Utah Museum of Fine Arts, two lovers communicate with each other from inside the bounds of their own distinct portraits. Situated in her room, a woman delicately hushes her lover with a finger raised to her mouth, while her male companion lovingly gestures to her as he departs.
Together the lovers form a pendant — a pair of artworks meant to be displayed side by side. Pendants come in many varieties, ranging from portraiture and landscape paintings to abstract prints and sculptures. The UMFA’s latest exhibition, “Power Couples: The Pendant Format in Art,” showcases art in pairs from the 16th century to the present day.
Provided by UMFA
Leslie Anderson with her exhibition “Power Couples.” The research and planning for the exhibition has been years in the making.
Leslie Anderson, UMFA’s curator of European, American and regional art, got the idea for the exhibit while doing research in Denmark, where she discovered that a well-known portrait of a professor at Copenhagen Academy had a mysterious companion piece.
“I thought about how the revelation changed the understanding of the work,” Anderson said.
That discovery spurned a fascination with art pairings and a determination to continue learning all she could about the form. After arriving at the UMFA, Anderson began to consider doing an exhibition…

Black Widow Concept Art Reveals Taskmaster! – Google Alerts
Comic-Con: Black Widow Concept Art Reveals Taskmaster!
Last night Marvel Studios officially confirmed that Black Widow will be the first movie in Marvel’s Phase Four, revealing the first footage from the movie which confirmed that one of the villains in the film will be none other than Taskmaster! With the footage not officially released online, the best look anyone had at the character in the film has come from blurry set photos, until now!
Marvel Studios Director of Visual Development and concept artist Andy Park revealed a piece of concept art he put together for the film which was being given away at San Diego Comic-Con which offers a first look at Taskmaster in the upcoming movie. Check it out below!
Created by David Michelinie and George Pérez in the pages of The Avengers, Taskmaster is a supervillain with the unique ability of photographic reflexes, meaning he can watch how someone fights, shoots, etc, and then perfectly mimic it. This will no doubt make him an even match for Black Widow.
Scarlett Johansson returns as Natasha Romanoff, a spy and assassin who grew up being trained by the KGB before breaking from their grasp and becoming an agent of SHIELD and an Avenger. Other cast members include O-T Fagbenle (The Handmaid’s Tale) as Mason, Golden Globe nominee David Harbour (Stranger Things, Hellboy) as Alexei aka The Red Guardian, Florence Pugh (Fighting with My Family) as Yelena, and Oscar winner Rachel Weisz (The Favourite) as Melina. The person behind the mask of Taskmaster as not revealed.
Directed by Cate Shortland (Lore) from a script by Jac Schaeffer (The Hustle), Black Widow will debut in theaters on May 1, 2020.

A Progressive Supervised-learning Approach to Generating Rich Civil Strife Data
"Big data" in the form of unstructured text pose challenges and opportunities to social scientists committed to advancing research frontiers. Because machine-based and human-centric approaches to content analysis have different strengths for extracting information from unstructured text, the authors argue for a collaborative, hybrid approach that combines their comparative advantages.
A Design and a Model for Investigating the Heterogeneity of Context Effects in Public Opinion Surveys
Context effects on survey response, caused by the unobserved interaction between beliefs stored in personal memory and triggers generated by the structure of the survey instrument, are a pervasive challenge to survey research. The authors argue that randomized survey experiments on representative samples, when paired with facilitative primes, can enable researchers to model selection into variable context effects, revealing heterogeneity at the population level.
An Introduction to the General Monotone Model with Application to Two Problematic Data Sets
We argue that the mismatch between data and analytical methods, along with common practices for dealing with "messy" data, can lead to inaccurate conclusions. Specifically, using previously published data on racial bias and culture of honor, we show that manifest effects, and therefore theoretical conclusions, are highly dependent on how researchers decide to handle extreme scores and nonlinearities when data are analyzed with traditional approaches.
Beyond Text: Using Arrays to Represent and Analyze Ethnographic Data
Recent methodological debates in sociology have focused on how data and analyses might be made more open and accessible, how the process of theorizing and knowledge production might be made more explicit, and how developing means of visualization can help address these issues. In ethnography, where scholars from various traditions do not necessarily share basic epistemological assumptions about the research enterprise with either their quantitative colleagues or one another, these issues are particularly complex.
Shrinkage Estimation of Log-odds Ratios for Comparing Mobility Tables
Statistical analysis of mobility tables has long played a pivotal role in comparative stratification research. This article proposes a shrinkage estimator of the log-odds ratio for comparing mobility tables. Building on an empirical Bayes framework, the shrinkage estimator improves estimation efficiency by "borrowing strength" across multiple tables while placing no restrictions on the pattern of association within tables.
Can Non-full-probability Internet Surveys Yield Useful Data? A Comparison with Full-probability Face-to-face Surveys in the Domain of Race and Social Inequality Attitudes
The authors investigate the potential utility of Web-based surveys of non-full-probabilistically sampled respondents for social science research. Specifically, they compare demographic, attitude response, and multivariate model results produced by two distinct survey modalities: the traditional full-probability sample face-to-face survey and the non-full-probability Web survey.
Defining the State from within: Boundaries, Schemas, and Associational Policymaking
A growing literature posits the importance of boundaries in structuring social systems. Yet sociologists have not adequately theorized one of the most fraught and consequential sites of boundary-making in contemporary life: the delineation of the official edges of the government—and, consequently, of state from society. This article addresses that gap by theorizing the mechanisms of state boundary formation. In so doing, we extend culturalist theories of the state by providing a more specific model of how the state-society boundary is produced.
Gabriel Tarde and Contemporary Social Theory
After a century of obscurity, the work of Gabriel Tarde is once again attracting the attention of social theorists. In particular, Bruno Latour has been a fervent advocate of Tarde’s work as a form of sociology, which, he claims, anticipates actor network theory and which is therefore appropriate for an era of globalization. Rejecting Durkheimian appeals to an autonomous and preformed social reality, Tarde focuses on dynamic and hybrid processes of individual imitation and interaction. This article reexamines the work of Gabriel Tarde to assess the validity of Latour’s interpretation.
Field and Ecology
This article offers a theoretical comparison between field and ecology, as developed by Pierre Bourdieu and the Chicago School of sociology. While field theory and ecological theory share similar conceptualizations of actors, positions, and relations, and while they converge in their views on structural isomorphism, temporality, and social psychology, they are quite different on several other scores: power and inequality, endogeneity, heterogeneity, metaphorical sources, and abstraction.
Community Sense: The Cohesive Power of Aesthetic Judgment
Sociologists have undertheorized the role of aesthetic judgment in group identification. The author argues that the communication of aesthetic judgments in face-to-face interaction powerfully works to confirm or deny feelings of group belonging. The author introduces the concept of "community sense," the public face of shared aesthetic judgments that is communicated and upheld within a group. The author illustrates this concept through an ethnographic case study of an erotic arts club, a group predicated on achieving a shared sense of "good" and "bad" taste.

I don't know the summary... but I'm sorta looking forward to the drama....

Looking forward to this one, too. Thanks for sharing.
^ No problem.
I personally think Wallace looks very good here. I still have to get used to TangYan's hair though. But I'm looking forward to how the stroyline is... looks like old/past/ex-lovers somewhat...
I just hope it's good since it seems highly anticipated by fans lol, but yes, it does look weird seeing Tang Yan with that hairstyle.
sarNie Adult
I just started watching My Sunshine with no Eng subs (still waiting on Viki, but wanted to watch anyways). This is my current obsession..wanting to know what's going to happen next... Wondering if Wallace Chung/He Yi Chen has a motive, etc.? Omg, it's sooo good and heartbreaking! Hehehe, I actually read the translated novel chapters here under "Silent Separation by Gu Man": https://hui3r.wordpress.com/about/ Can't wait for all these scenes to play out....based on the novel, it doesn't seem like her ex-husband is a villian..he wants her back as much as Wallace Chung/He Yi Chen.
Wallace Chung is mighty fine in here... I've never watched him before, but love his character is quite believable. Hehehe, what I cannot stand is Zhao Mo Sheng's horrible fashion style..omg, what a disaster. Thankfully, it gets a little better after she marries He Yi Chen.
So...what is this drama about lol? I think this is one of the few dramas I was anticipating that I didn't know the plot to.
Kyahhhhh... I finally started this drama. It ended already with 36 eps, but I'm waiting for the subs. And yes!!! Wallace looks mighty fine and handsome in here indeed!!!!! Him & Tiffany look quite cute but yes! Her fashion/wardrobe in here... and her hair... oh goodness I dislike it so much!
I must say that the flow of the story is really good with great scenes. I quite like the pace and the flashbacks of the past. I think they did a great job. I just knew that trouble was stirring up since the past 18 eps didn't have any annoyance in the eps whatsoever... *cringe* I'm just preparing myself... I hate the 2nd guy's appearance... I just hate what he's doing... though I don't know what he's planning yet.. but I know that it's going to be annoying and cringeworthy!!! Ahhhhh!!!! Let the couple be in peace!!!
I must say that despite liking the main couple, I really like the model friend and the other phographer's funny relationship too. I wonder how it'll bloom between the two and how he'll drift away from his crush, the main guy's sister, and to the model friend
I just absolutely love Wallace's voice too.. sigh. <3<3<3
lenlin said:
I started my short spazz so I didn't answer your question hehe.
Anyways, so far from the gist of watching the past 18 eps. The main guy and girl met in college and became sweethearts. She moved to the USA shortly due to some incident, hence both sides didn't really know who broke up with who. The girl assumes that the guy broke up with her when he said he didn't want to see her anymore... and when she left to the USA with her father's urge... the guy thought she broke up with him... <--- It's conflicting since no one knows the exact answer and it's not spoken of with these eps at all since the past isn't mentioned much yet between the two.
Anyways, She moved to the USA for 7 years, changed majors and became a professional photographer and the guy is now a successful lawyer. Though the time has passed, they still love eachother etc... and they met again when she returned from America back to Shanghai. etc... You'd think everything will go smoothly yada-yadaa.. etc.. but there's some issues but they're not big issues at all...... Basically, he wants to know her past... yet doesn't want to know it too because he'll be jealous and hurt. And she wants to explain about her past too but hesitates... and is usually interrupted by the guy not wanting to hear her excuses.
I'm currently at the issue where everything that's been calm is going to be thrown out of proportion soon though.. I feel it coming.... and I know I won't like it one bit. I already hate the second guy .... uggghhhhh... He's cringeworthy because of his actions.. though he had only little scenes so far... ughhhh...
I think you'll like it though Lenlin Wallace is yummy yummy
Doesn't sound so bad. I was worried it would be really bad since I knew nothing about it. I hope there are subs soon.
^Truthfully, I was watching this for Wallace and a bit for Tiffany. To my surprise I'm really enjoying it.
I read hui3r's blog about the fashion wardrobe in here.. and I just can't help but stop laughing. Sure the main girl's wardrobe are like brand name clothing but... I'm just not that fond of them.. It's too everywhere in my opinion, though she wears neutral colors. I like that they're simple but.. I'm not too fond of them.
I haven't watched Boss & Me/ShanShan .. but I realized that this drama and that drama uses the same office space and some same locations hehe.
the wardrobe/fashion from this drama - https://hui3r.wordpress.com/2015/02/01/my-sunshine-fashion-accessories-pictorial/
At the sake of sounding like a dowd, I hardly pay attention to brand names or fashion. I only pay attention when the fashion annoys me lol. But thanks for sharing the blog link. That's just so funny.
I finished this drama a while back while slowly saving the last few eps to enjoy because I didn't want it to end hahaha. But oh goodness, that flashback though, when it was Wallace and Tiffany doing the university scenes ahaha... Wallace, is forever young, adorable, and handsome. :3 :3
I really enjoyed the drama. I liked that there really wasn't any n'rai/p'rai in the story and it wholely focused on the couple and side couples. Besides the main couple, I really loved watching her guy colleague and model friend's couple as well. I really like the overall flow of the story and drama. Really nice editing and filming too.
The last few eps, Tiffany through me off a bit though because of her change in hairstyle. Even though I disliked the shorthair... after watching it for so long you're used to it. The change in hairstyle at the end made me focused a lot on her forehead space... because it was hidden the whole drama-ish but bam... now a forehead pops out ahahaha... maybe that's just me who feel that way though
Edit: I was trying to sleep but something was bugging me... So I had to comeback and edit lol.
I disliked the ex-husband in here... He was so cringe-worthy I couldn't stand him... Uggghhhh. The flow of the story was just going too smooth that you just feel something is finally going to appear... And it did! He was like one of the characters I just wanted to rid of seeing.
I didn't like the ex-husband either. I think they could have done without him completely, even if he was in the novel lol. I read he was much nicer in the novel. And appeared less, too. When he realized the leads loved each other, he stepped aside without all the drama he put them through. Why couldn't they just keep it that way?
^ To torture us I tell you. Everytime he was onscreen I was like... I need some Yi Chen scenes asap!!! but then I knew there was going to be misunderstandings afterwards. Grrrr. They had him appear too much. He became stalker-ishly creepy.
He was kind of creepy from the moment I heard his name (when MS sent him that money), and the feeling only intensified when he first appeared onscreen.
And I seriously, seriously thought YC was going to enact revenge on MS, but I guess I was wrong. This isn't a Thai lakorn after all lol.

Gambia Sues Myanmar for Genocide Against Rohingya Muslims
12 Nov 2019, 09:35 GMT+10
UNITED NATIONS - In a highly unusual move, the tiny West African nation of The Gambia on Monday filed a lawsuit against Myanmar, accusing it of perpetrating a genocide on ethnic Rohingya Muslims which forced hundreds of thousands to flee the Asian nation.
The Gambia, with the full support of the 57-member Organization for Islamic Cooperation (OIC), filed the case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the United Nations' leading court in dealing with disputes between nations.
"The Gambia hopes by this case, and the OIC hopes by this case, to obtain a judgment from the International Court of Justice - the highest legal authority in the international community, that Myanmar is guilty of the crime of genocide against the Rohingya people," said Paul Reichler, a Washington, D.C.-based lawyer who is leading the Gambian legal team.
Such a ruling could take years. In the interim, the lawyers are seeking what is known as "provisional measures" - an order demanding Myanmar stop harming the Rohingyas while the court considers the full case. The judges at The Hague-based court could rule on that as early as next month.
"We are hopeful to get that kind of protection for the Rohingya people very early in the case as a provisional measure so that the genocidal activities that we are seeking to end do not continue during the lawsuit," Reichler told VOA.
Starting in August 2017, more than 700,000 Rohingya Muslims fled a scorched-earth campaign unleashed by the Myanmar military in response to attacks by Rohingya militants in Rakhine state that killed a dozen police officers. Survivors crossed the border into Bangladesh where they gave accounts of massacres, rape, murder and villages burned to the ground.
The U.N. has called the atrocities "a textbook case" of ethnic cleansing. The head of a U.N. fact-finding mission said last year that estimates of 10,000 Rohingya deaths are "conservative."
'Inspiring'
The Myanmar government strongly disputes accusations of genocide and has established its own Commission of Inquiry.
"This is clearly a politically motivated international pressure tactic against Myanmar on the issue of Rakhine state," Myanmar's U.N. Ambassador Hau Do Suan told VOA in an email. "Gambia has nothing to do with Myanmar's problem. The OIC and Gambia should try to put their backyard in order first, before trying to interfere in the affairs of a faraway country which is trying its best to find a sustainable and peaceful means to solve its own problem."
He said Myanmar is implementing "in good faith" recommendations issued in 2017 from an international advisory commission on addressing root causes of the crisis and would not "surrender to this kind of unfair, intimidating, political and religious-based pressure."
The International Court of Justice will now have to decide whether it has the jurisdiction to take up the case. Under Article 9 of the Genocide Convention, which was adopted in 1948 in the aftermath of the Holocaust, any state party to the treaty may bring a claim against another state party if it feels it failed to uphold its obligations in preventing and punishing the crime of genocide.
"What is so extraordinary here, is that The Gambia, a very small country in West Africa - a half a world away from Myanmar - had only recently freed itself from the grips of a decades-long brutal dictatorship," said Richard Dicker, the director of the International Justice program at Human Rights Watch. "It's inspiring."
'Great hope for accountability'
The Global Centre for the Responsibility to Protect has been working with The Gambia over the past year to bring the case to the ICJ.
"It is really a great hope for accountability, for responsibility in the case of Myanmar, particularly because the (U.N.) Security Council is not doing anything," said Nadira Khudayberbieva, Myanmar expert at the center.
While the Security Council has been engaged on the issue both in its chamber and traveling last year to the sprawling refugee camp at Cox's Bazar in Bangladesh and flying over Rakhine state, it has not taken action, such as imposing economic sanctions or an arms embargo on the Myanmar military. This has been primarily because of opposition from China - a veto-wielding member of the 15-nation council and ally of the Myanmar government.
"I think politically it makes it more uncomfortable, more difficult, for Beijing to smile on the practice of their clients in Myanmar," Dicker said of the genocide suit.
The only other successful prosecution of a genocide case under the Genocide Convention at the ICJ was brought by Bosnia and Herzegovina against Serbia in 1993. It took four years for the court to issue its decision largely in favor of Bosnia.
"That had a very damning effect in the realm of public opinion and perception in regard to what Serbia's responsibility was for crimes it had committed in Bosnia," Dicker noted.

A Glass Blower’s Take on Norell New York’s Hand-Blown Bottle
Robert DuGrenier explains what makes Norell New York’s luxury bottle by Baccarat so special.
Norell New York Parfum by Baccarat
Norell New York’s Parfum, in a limited edition hand-blown bottle by Baccarat, is a “reinvention of a timeless classic, rooted in luxury,” the company states. The fragrance bottle reflects the elegant style of Norman Norell, an iconic designer synonymous with American fashion.
Producing the Luxurious Limited Edition Bottle
In celebration of the re-launch of the Norell New York fragrance in 2015, a luxurious limited-edition Parfum was created, and housed in a hand-crafted 1.7 fl oz bottle created by the internationally acclaimed French crystal house, Baccarat.
Made by Craftsman in France
“Norell’s essence of refined elegance and sophistication is captured in both the opulence of the crystal as well as the pure ingredients of the scent,” the brand states. Among the craftsmen that produced the limited edition bottle is Michel Barge, who is an “Elite Craftsman of France,” and shown in the video at the link below.
Hand Work Justifies Its $1,500 Price Tag
Decorating each of the 500 limited edition bottles by hand makes each one unique - and justifies Norell New York Parfum’s $1,500 price tag. Shown above is the custom tooling designed for the bottle.
Decorating Techniques Done by Hand
Baccarat employs the best blowers, cutters, engravers and gilders - some of them fifth generation craftsmen and women who are required a minimum of 15 years training in their fields before they are allowed to create a Baccarat piece. Hand-decorating makes each fragrance bottle a unique work of art. The stopper is shown above.
Creating an Elegant Crystal Stopper
Continuing the glass blowing process, by hand, to create the elegant crystal stopper.
The Craftsmanship of Perfume
The Norell New York limited edition Parfum is made with pure quality ingredients, and an “exquisite blend of notes,” the brand states, which “leads us to rediscover the artistry and craftsmanship of perfume.” The modern green floral contains over 200 jasmine petals in each bottle, as well as Orris Butter, one of the most noble and expensive ingredients.
Sealed and Numbered
Each crystal bottle by Baccarat for the limited edition Norell New York Parfum is numbered and hand-sealed with gold thread. Only 500 of these bottles were produced at Baccarat’s factory in France.
By Marie Redding, associate editor 01.05.16
When a fragrance bottle begins with a great design, which might include a luxe decoration, there’s no doubt that it will look beautiful. But when a brand has a bottle hand-blown by a crystal house such as Baccarat, it’s in another league.
Robert DuGrenier, of Robert
DuGrenier Associates
We showed Robert DuGrenier, a sculptor and glass blower, this video of Baccarat's glass-blower producing the limited edition bottle for Norell New York Parfum.
Norell New York, in the Baccarat bottle, retails for $1,500. Only 500 bottles were produced at Baccarat’s factory in France. They launched in time for the 2015 holiday season.
DuGrenier views the video, and then explains, “The sculptor is gathering the glass by hand, then depositing it into a semi-automatic mold.”
It’s critical to use a mold, DuGrenier says, because the bottle is a rectangular shape. “Perfectly straight lines are critical,” he says, further explaining, “The bottle is hand-blown, but then it is machine-pressed, to get those perfect lines.”
DuGrenier continues to discuss the steps that Baccarat’s craftsman is demonstrating in the slideshow above. “After the bottle is machine pressed, the blower hand-torches the bottle, which eliminates surface markings from the mold. All the tool marks are melted back into the glass, which is really special because it is a hand-decorating technique that is never used anymore.”
Another step in the process, which is shown in the video, features the glass-blower applying a lead polish to the bottle. “This is a finishing treatment that gives the crystal a brilliance that you just don’t get from mass production,” says DuGrenier.
The sculptor from Baccarat also hand-blows a glass stopper for the bottle, before finishing it by wrapping the bottle’s neck with gold thread. DuGrenier comments, “That final detail is amazing to watch - it’s how it was done in the past.”
See the slideshow above, which features some of the steps in the production process.

Interested parents are cordially invited to contact the school to make an appointment to view and discuss, in depth, the information outlined in this pack and enquire into any other matter related to the education of their children. A visit whilst the school is in operation is preferable as it illustrates the happy, caring, family atmosphere which pervades the school.
After this initial contact, a suitable time is arranged for the child to visit the school to meet the Headmaster and, where appropriate, to sit the relevant tests. Experience has shown that this personal assessment is superior to a formal examination day as children are less likely to suffer from ‘nerves’ and candidates are more comfortable with their parents close to hand in a relaxed atmosphere.
Acceptance is not entirely based upon the test results as considerable emphasis is placed on the personal interview and assessed potential of each individual.
Places are then offered at the discretion of the Headmaster. The registration of a child’s name requires the payment of a non refundable bond of £200.
Whilst appreciating that personal and family circumstances occasionally change, the offer of a place is made on the understanding that children are committed to the school for the duration of the department. Thus children entering the Nursery and Preparatory classes are expected to remain until eleven years of age. Similarly pupils entering the Senior Department are expected to proceed through to the end of Year 11.
We look forward to hearing from you. The next stage of enquiry is to contact the school secretary in the main school to arrange a mutually convenient appointment.

Video showing an ex-policeman giving a badly burnt koala a drink of water is an emotional scene - one among many - coming out of the devastation on the NSW North Coast. Former Wauchope area police officer Darrell "Doc" Halliday spotted the juvenile female on the side of a trail in the Bellangry State Forest, near his home west of Port Macquarie. "She was in a world of hurt. She didn't even move when I walked up to her, she was singed all over and her eyes were shut. "I gave her a drink and she perked up a bit. The staff from the koala hospital couldn't come to get her as they are all under the pump, so I wrapped her in a blanket and took her back in the car." Doc said his neighbour works at the Port Macquarie Koala Hospital, but given it's working to capacity in the midst of these horrific fires, she also has a small refuge at home where he took the poor creature. Read also: Watch Carol play the harp to soothe wild horses after fleeing the fires They've been giving her plenty of fluids over the past 24 hours - "koala Gatorade" Doc called it - to the point where she opened her eyes and livened up enough to munch on a small amount of leaves as well, "which was a good sign". "In another day or so they said they'd knock her out to clean the burns. "She's in an enclosure with two or three others so she's not alone." Doc said his friend said the staff at the koala hospital believe anything from 300-500 koalas have perished in this week's fires. "They're not coming back in our lifetime," he lamented. "She was the only living thing I saw out there that day - not even flies. The poor little buggers."

According to the Rural Fire Service as at 7.45am Thursday a fire in the Mount Seaview, west of Wauchope, is more than 69,600 hectares in size and is not yet controlled. Doc said the situation was horrendous. "Even inside the house you can still smell the smoke, like being beside a campfire," he said. "This'll only stop when it's got nothing left to burn, when it hits the ocean."

The transportation of oil and gas is increasingly important to the constantly growing European economy. Located at the heart of the continent, Germany serves as a central hub. Oil and gas pipelines to Russia and Norway are vital arteries. Several such pipelines already cross the German North Sea and Baltic Sea EEZ. Some of these, such as NORPIPE and EUROPIPE I and II, are transit pipelines that convey natural gas from Norwegian gas fields to Germany. Others transport natural gas or crude oil to the mainland from platforms in German coastal waters and the EEZ. Pipelines also traverse sensitive areas such as Dogger Bank (a liquid gas pipeline) and the Wadden Sea, a World Heritage Site.
Although accident prevention standards have continuously improved in recent years, the risk of leaks still remains. With oil pipelines especially, this can pose a major threat to the environment.
Gas pipelines through the Baltic Sea
A further major project is the Nord Stream pipeline from Russia to Germany via the Baltic Sea. The first line of the pipeline was laid in just over a year and went into operation in mid-November 2011. Commissioning of the second, parallel line followed in October 2012. Plans are currently underway to add two more lines.
Bearing in mind that each segment of the Nord Stream pipeline is about 12 m long and has a mass of 24 t, even the shortest route from Russia to Germany – some 1,224 km – makes this a gigantic construction project.

Impacts of this large-scale project on the marine environment have been identified in extensive investigations accompanying construction and operation as part of a monitoring programme.
The project’s greatest encroachment on the environment consisted of dredging work in the Greifswald Bodden and parts of the Pomeranian Bay (within the 12 mile zone). According to the investigation report, however, reconstruction of the reef and bottom structure allowed organisms to resettle.
The pipelaying work involved the deployment of large numbers of vessels – in August 2010 as many as 69 were at sea at the same time. Such increased shipping traffic is a problem especially for seabirds. Heavy shipping traffic scares sensitive species away from their resting areas, as BfN project partners have found in other research projects.
It also cannot be ruled out that noise emissions during construction of the pipeline may have caused disturbance to harbour porpoises and seals. See Impacts on marine organisms in Offshore wind power.
Monitoring is to be continued until 2016 to identify further potential impacts of the pipelaying.
The capacity of the Nord Stream Pipeline across the Baltic Sea from Russia and Germany is to be further expanded by adding a two more lines. This project is currently at the planning and approval stage, with additional impact assessments.

Mayhew, Jon
Jon Mayhew
Jon Mayhew lives on the Wirral Peninsula close to the Dee marshes with his wife, four children and a menagerie of pets. He has been a teacher for over twenty years and works with children with Autistic Spectrum Conditions. As a child he used to play in the overgrown ruins of a Victorian zoo building dens in the bear pits and imagining that some of the animals still lurked in the thick rhododendrons. When Jon is not writing he enjoys running and has completed seven marathons. Traditional folk music is another passion and he plays mandolin in ceilidh bands. He also enjoys mooching around graveyards for fun and is always listening out for the sound of talons on stone and beaks click, click clicking!
The Bonehill Curse
Author: Jon Mayhew
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
The year is 1868 and Necessity Bonehill lives miserably in a boarding school for young ladies. Overwhelmed by boredom, she is unable to resist temptation when an exotic-looking bottle arrives from her uncle along with instructions never to open it.
The Demon Collector
Edgy Taylor has a gift - he can see demons in the crowded streets of Victorian London. A gripping, gothic, horror story lightened by its dark humour and unpredictable characters.
Mortlock
Orphaned twins Josie and Alfie, separated as babies, rediscover each other and set out on a quest for the truth of their past in this Victorian horror story.

The Shadow of the Fox Trilogy: Book 2
Category: Fiction/Fantasy
Audience: Young Adult (12–17)
Publisher: Inkyard Press Publisher: Inkyard Press Publisher: Inkyard Press
One thousand years ago, a wish was made to the Harbinger of Change and a sword of rage and lightning was forged. Kamigoroshi. The Godslayer. It had one task: to seal away the powerful demon Hakaimono.
Now he has broken free.
Kitsune shapeshifter Yumeko has one task: to take her piece of the ancient and powerful scroll to the Steel Feather temple in order to prevent the summoning of the Harbinger of Change, the great Kami Dragon who will grant one wish to whomever holds the Scroll of a Thousand Prayers. But she has a new enemy now. The demon Hakaimono, who for centuries was trapped in a cursed sword, has escaped and possessed the boy she thought would protect her, Kage Tatsumi of the Shadow Clan.
Hakaimono has done the unthinkable and joined forces with the Master of Demons in order to break the curse of the sword and set himself free. To overthrow the empire and cover the land in darkness, they need one thing: the Scroll of a Thousand Prayers. As the paths of Yumeko and the possessed Tatsumi cross once again, the entire empire will be thrown into chaos.

Minutes of the Last Parish Council Meeting
The minutes of the meeting held on 17th July 2018 were unanimously agreed to be a true and accurate record. The minutes were signed by the Chairman.
Matters arising
Cllr Durrant invited comments and questions from the public. The following questions were asked:
Summary of Planning Committee meeting – Cllr Flooks gave a brief summary of the Planning Committee meeting held on 30th August 2018 (see draft minutes at appendix A).
New Planning applications
18/02491/HSE – Barefoot House, Olivers Lane, Bramley
Erection of garden shed/store
No objections unanimously agreed. Clerk to process.
Update of Minchens Lane development – it was noted that planning permission has been granted for the phase 4 reserved matters application.
Cllr Flooks has requested a meeting with Persimmon about the s.106 requirements, and the Clerk is chasing officers at BDBC for a meeting with them about the same.
Cllr Tomblin has confirmed that payments already made against the transport component of the s.106 agreement were made to HCC Highways, and that any further payments for this component will also go to Highways.
Cllr Flooks has queried with Highways about the access to the development, which is not functioning as it should. A reply is awaited.
Cllr Durrant has been in touch with key contact for the site and highlighted a number of issues with regards to the bridges, the ditch, and the low level lighting. This needs to be followed up.
Cllr Bell highlighted that no reply has been received about the foul water provision at the site. Clerk to check with the planning officer and Cllr Bell will check with Thames Water.

Upper Cufaude Farm proposals – the public exhibition held on 17th September was noted. Most councillors were able to attend this at some point during the day.
Cllrs Bell and Tomblin gave a summary of the information gathered from the exhibition:
Only the west side of the site is being considered for development at present – the east side will be considered at a later date.
There will be no access into Cufaude Lane.
The HCC representative was asked about the planned access for the development – a solution is apparently in place, although Bramley PC has not seen this as yet. It was noted that the HCC approved solution for the Minchens Lane development is not working as expected.
Attention should be paid to the traffic study once the planning application is in.
The national cycle path through Cufaude Lane may be re-routed through the development.
Developers believe there should be a junior school on the site. An alternative site for a new junior school is at the Redlands site (near the Basingstoke Incinerator). However, HCC have given no indication of where the school is likely to be sited, or even if there will be a new school. If the school is not agreed, this will put severe pressure on both Bramley School and Four Lanes at Chineham.
All 350 dwellings will be two storey.
No slate rooves, brick and flint design is proposed.
Cllrs believe that Croudace will take not of and respect the Neighbourhood Plan.
HCC representative was asked why the west side of the site was not being considered at present, but no conclusive answer was given. Cllr Tomblin noted that there are considerable issues (noise abatement, flooding, etc) with this area, which will be difficult to overcome.
Flooding and drainage – HCC view is that any excess water will be expelled from site through existing aquifers and Bow Brook. CT stated that HCC responses will need to be watched.
Green space is where it is as the developers do not wish to interfere with the National Trust view from the Vyne; however, this needs to be watched given that there may be more development on the west side of the site.
CIL money from site should be going to Bramley PC. However this needs to be confirmed. The Parish should also be getting the precept for the development.
It was also noted that Bramley has a number of community facilities and does not really need more; this should be checked when the application is submitted, and when the s.106 requirements are published.
The outline planning application is due by the end of the year.
Cllrs felt that a meeting between Bramley PC, the developers, and BDBC officers should be considered once the outline planning application is in. Ward councillors to assist at the appropriate time.
IT was noted that the exhibition might be considered by Croudace as consulting with Parish Council – this is not the case. However, as stated above, a meeting with Croudace is to be requested when the outline application goes in.
Update on Planning Enforcements - no new date has been scheduled at present for the planning and enforcement appeals for Cufaude Lane. It was noted that there has been new activity at the site in the last few weeks. BDBC enforcement officers are aware of this and are taking the necessary legal measures. Unfortunately the site is not covered by the new Borough-wide injunction against unlawful encampments as it is already covered by its own separate injunction.
Residents in Cufaude Lane have met with BDBC officers, which has set up a dialogue between the two.
Parish Environment
Concrete blocks at Bramley Green Road – The new Borough-wide injunction against unlawful encampments was noted. New encampments since this was implemented have been moved on by the police very quickly.
Therefore, Cllr Durrant proposed removing the blocks at Bramley Green Road. This was unanimously agreed. Clerk to take forward. The tree trunk to be left in place.
There was some debate about installing a stronger gate at the site. Cllr Bell proposed leaving the gate as it is – this was unanimously agreed.
Procedures for dealing with unlawful encampments – a draft document has been distributed to all councillors, outlining reporting procedures.
Cllr Durrant felt that it should be made very clear that any resident reporting an incident should be strongly encouraged to report it directly with the responsible authority, as this will carry as much weight as any report from the Parish Council.
Relevant authorities should be listed on policy, with names and contact information.
Clerk to make changes and distribute for approval.
Update on WW1 commemorations – Cllr Bell gave an update.
Silent soldier silhouettes have been erected around the village, and have been well received by residents. A nurse silhouette is on order, but delivery is not expected for another 2 and a half weeks.
Plans for the beacon ceremony on 11th November are almost complete. An item has been submitted for the next issue of the parish magazine, and a poster is almost ready for display on the noticeboards and website. A risk assessment for the event is being prepared, and will need to be formally agreed at the October PC meeting. Catering will cost approximately £800 including prosecco and soup. This was unanimously approved. Church bells may not be rung as there is a problem with the church tower – this is ongoing. A British Legion flag is required –Cllr Bell to speak with the Church.
Cllr Bell
Poppy Wreath – the Clerk confirmed that a poppy wreath has been reserved for the Parish Council ready for the Remembrance Day service on 11th November. Cllr Durrant proposed a donation of £200, and this was unanimously agreed. Clerk to process.
Clerk’s report & Administration
IT Project update -see appendix B. Cllr Ansell gave a verbal report.
On hold until the PC contract terms and conditions are approved. These should be sent again to all councillors for comment.
Parish magazine article – Cllr Tomblin is due to write the next article. The deadline is 15th October.
Cllr Tomblin
Casual Vacancy – the Clerk confirmed that a formal election has not been requested, and that the Council is now free to co-opt a new councillor. She confirmed that there are three possible candidates, and that co-option could take place at the October meeting – this was unanimously agreed. Details of the candidates will be distributed to all councillors ahead of the meeting.
Litter Warden salary review – the Clerk confirmed that the grant from BDBC for this year is £4071. This represents an increase per hour from £7.50 to £7.83, in line with the national living wage.
Cllr Durrant proposed the increase in salary, to be backdated to April 2018. This was seconded by Cllr Capel and unanimously agreed. Clerk to take forward.
Litter on the back lanes was noted – Clerk to contact Lengthsman for action.
Cllrs noted a commendation to Wendy Castle for organising the village litter pick last week. This will be included in the Parish Magazine article.
Cllr Tomblim
Reports from Parish Council representatives
Allotments and Burial Ground - see appendix B
i. Future plans for the allotments – this item was deferred to the October meeting due to the absence of Cllr Whorton.
ii. The Clerk noted that BDBC have written to ask if the PC wish to adopt the proposed allotments at Vyne Park (Razors Farm). Whilst they are just north of Chineham, they fall within the Bramley PC boundary.
Clerk to check if Bramley PC will get the precept for the Razors Farm development. If so, then Cllrs unanimously agreed to take on allotments. Unanimously agreed. Clerk also to check what is being offered and what facilities will be on site.
Village Hall Trust - see appendix B.
The planning application for the extension has been granted permission. However, funding for this is not yet in place.
The car park gate issue has now been resolved by Rocon.
Clift Meadow Trust
i. Investment proposals for Clift Meadow – a facilities investment document from CMT has been distributed. The Trust foresees that the cost of a purpose built brick storage facility will cost in the region of £40,000 ex VAT. The other option is to improve existing facilities which will be half the cost.
Cllr Bell suggested a possible s.106 re-allocation; however, this would need a deed of variation, and would take some time. There may also be costs associated with this, and also needs full agreement of all signatories to the s.106 agreement. It was agreed that this would be pursued.
CMT will be attempting to raise funds. There may be alternative funding options – CMT and PC should investigate these.
Some PC reserves could be used. Need more concrete plans to take forward.
Other expenditure items may include some fencing and offset barriers by or on the new path, and possibly lowering or removing the hedge. This will need to be considered by CMT. Other funding will be required moving forward for these items.
Shutters at Brocas Hall will need to be addressed in the near to medium future. CMT are looking at various options.
The CCTV is now working properly.
ii. Plaques – PC does not have list and have recommended that CMT do audit as soon as possible.
Police & Neighbourhood Watch – see appendix B.
Cllrs asked what is being done about reported incidents – there is no indication in the report. Clerk to make enquiries.
Cllrs Durrant and Bell attended a community court session recently for the two people who were caught damaging benches at Clift Meadow. The Community Court is run by the perpetrators peers, aged 16-20, and is aimed at showing first offenders the trouble they cause. Defendants are represented by their peers, and judgment is made by their peers as well.
One of the perpetrators was there with his family. A formal apology was received from the defendant, and his parents have pledged to be active in preventing future problems.
Highways/Footpaths – see appendix B. Issues with speeding lorries were noted– Clerk to write to local companies requesting that their drivers take care driving through Bramley. Clerk also to highlight issue with police and highways, but it is likely that there is little that can be done.
Road Safety Project – see appendix B. Replies are awaited from HCC Highways.
Borough Councillor Report – see appendix B. Cllr Robinson gave a verbal update.
The injunction against unlawful encampments currently covers Bramley, Silchester and Chineham. Turgis Green is also included, and Sherfield on Loddon, as well as certain areas in Basingstoke. The injunction is initially for one year and if successful will become borough wide and permanent.
Waste collection – contractor changes to Serco from October.
Permitted development rights on offices being converted to residential – this can be done without planning permission. BDBC are applying for an exemption to this in key office areas such as Basing View.
Boundary review – there has been some discussion on what the ‘Bramley’ ward should be called. Cllr Robinson invited suggestions, and noted that the ‘Wellington’ Ward was being considered. Cllrs were not in favour of this designation, and suggested the ‘Loddon’ ward instead.
S.106 – Cllrs Robinson and Rowlan are trying to obtain clarification of and greater involvement in s.106 agreements. This is proving to be very difficult. There is no consultation between scoping officers and parties who know anything about what the parishes might need.
County Councillor report – see appendix B.
i. Replacement plaque/honours board – the board has been received and installed in the Bramley Room. It is to acknowledge people who have made a significant contribution to the community – Cllr Durrant invited suggestions for additions to the board.
Consultation documents requiring consideration
Borough Council boundary review – the Boundary Commission recommendation for Basingstoke & Deane Borough Council is that there should 54 councillors in future, 6 less than at present. The councillors will represent 18 three-councillor wards, with the new ‘Bramley’ ward including Sherfield-on-Loddon, Stratfield Turgis, Silchester, and Mortimer West End, as well as Bramley itself.
Cllrs did not consider ‘Bramley’ an appropriate name for the ward. Clerk to collate councillor comments.
‘Muddy Fingers’ children’s garden – proposals for this have been distributed to all councillors, although a formal grant application has not been received at this stage. The club is moving forward, and a number of children have already signed up. It is completely separate to a similar scheme being run at the school.
Cllr Durrant noted that the rules for Clift Meadow should be checked to allow for the scheme. It is believed that this should be in order.
Cllr Tomblin noted concerns about the scheme needing funding on an ongoing basis, and also security concerns. This is being taken into consideration.
Councillors were generally very supportive of the scheme. A formal grant application was requested, to be considered at the October meeting.
Bramley School Association fireworks – an application has been received for £1000 towards the annual fireworks event at the School. Proceeds from the event will go towards an outdoor allotment facility at the school, to be maintained by the children.
Cllr Tomblin noted that the PC should be acknowledged as contributing to the event in any supporting literature.
The event will be charged for on the night for attendance, and this has been included in the budget.
Cllr Durrant proposed giving the grant, Cllr Marshall seconded, unanimously agreed. Clerk to process.
Payments and reconciliation approval - see appendix C
The Clerk noted the payments on the reconciliation. She noted the following:
A statement of payments for August was sent out and agreed via email. This was agreed in principle at the July meeting.
An expenses submission has been received today from Cllr Ansell, for £109.44 for a lighting system for the WW1 beacon ceremony.
Cllr Bell has submitted expenses of £32.40 for the attendance at a recent HALC meeting
It was unanimously agreed to approve the payments– Clerk to process.
Acknowledgement of Receipts – see appendix C
Receipts were noted. The Clerk noted receipt of the second half of the annual precept. She also noted that the quarter 2 VAT claim will be in the order of £1918. This will be claimed in October.
Date of Next meeting
The next meeting will be held on Tuesday 16th October 2018.

Minutes of the Last Planning Committee Meeting
The minutes of the Planning Committee meeting held on 11th June 2018 were unanimously agreed and signed off by the Chairman.
No response from Thames Water re drainage strategy, or from BDBC. This needs to be chased again with both BDBC and Thames Water.
18/02047/HSE - Hunters Moon Cufaude Lane Bramley
Conversion of part of garage to living accommodation
No objections unanimously agreed. Concern that there is not more documentation to be raised with BDBC. Clerk to raise with planning officer.
18/02094/HSE - 3 Churchlands Bramley
Erection of single storey rear extension
18/02336/HSE - 4 Leighton Close Bramley
Erection of single storey rear extension and first floor side extension over garage
Cllrs were concerned about the application for the following reasons:
The house is in a prominent position in the village, overlooking Clift Meadow. This is the most sensitive street scene of the whole Minchens Lane development.
The roofline will be altered, risking a terracing effect.
The apex of the proposed conversion of the garage takes it above the adjoining garage and emphasises even more the sharp edge to the property against the barn effect of the neighbouring property. The street scene as proposed by the developers after great discussion with the Parish Council was acceptable to the PC and residents, giving an acceptable view from Clift Meadow but this will destroy that scene.
The design of the extension is not in keeping with the original building.
Clerk to submit objections on this basis.
T/00290/18/TCA - Oakhearts Cottage Lane End Bramley
Cherry Tree. Remove remains of previously pruned tree
Cllrs have no objection and are happy to defer to the BDBC tree officer. However, the Committee would like to see a replacement tree planted if possible. Clerk to process.
T/00294/18/TPO - Oak House Officers Row Bramley
Trees T1-T6: tree work as per schedule dated 09/08/18 to include crown lifting and crown reduction
The Committee are happy to defer to the BDBC tree officer decision – it was felt that work was reasonable. Clerk to process.
18/02375/HSE - 22 Coopers Lane Bramley
Erection of single storey rear extension (Part Retrospective)
No objection unanimously agreed. Clerk to process.
T/00313/18/TPO - 6 Churchlands Bramley
T1 Ash - remove.
T3 Horse Chestnut - remove.
Committee members noted that the trees are important to the street scene, and would request that suitable replacements be considered. Otherwise, the Committee will defer to the BDBC tree officer’s view. Clerk to process.
Any other new applications
Approvals/Refusals/Pending (see appendix A) – these were noted.
The Clerk noted that she has enquired about enforcement for the refused application at Cufaude Lane, but has not received a reply as yet.
Update on Minchens Lane development – s.106 issues
Cllr Flooks has contacted Persimmon requesting a meeting about the s.106 requirements. The Clerk is chasing BDBC for a meeting about the same. Clerk also to query whether barriers are being placed at end of path at Clift Meadow as agreed, and check lighting is going in and planned.
Cllr Tomblin noted his enquiries to BDBC about the transport component of the s.106 agreement - £200k has already been paid to Highways, another £200k is due very soon, with another £150k later on. All payments will go to Highways.
It was noted that the access to the development is not functioning as intended, which is causing issues on Minchens Lane itself. HCC Highways to be contacted with PC concerns. Cllr Flooks to take forward.
Upper Cufaude Farm proposals
The developer for Upper Cufaude Farm is having a public exhibition on 17th September, and has invited Councillors to a private viewing before the exhibition opens. It was agreed that this would work better after the public session – Clerk to contact developer to arrange. Clerk also to encourage all councillors to attend the public session.
Cllr Tomblin noted that the proposals do not include the plans for the entire site; part of it has been held back at present.
There are possible issues with access to Cufaude Lane, but it is difficult to tell at this stage.
No planning application has been submitted as yet.
Update on Unlawful Development
The planning appeal for the Cufaude Lane planning application was due to be heard at the end of June. However, the Planning Inspector at the hearing noted that there is an ongoing injunction appeal for the same site, and ruled that both hearings should be held at the same time, and therefore postponed the planning appeal. There is no new date scheduled at present.
The date of the next Planning Committee meeting will be on 12th September 2018.
Meeting closed at 8.45pm.

SERVING HAMPSHIRE – 2017/18 PERFORMANCE REPORT
Performance highlights for 2017/18 included:
In March 2017, the Department for Education published an independent evaluation of the Hampshire Innovation Programme evidencing: an increase in the percentage of children’s social worker time spent with families from 34% to 58%; estimated notional savings through increased productivity of social workers of £9,000 per social worker; and an increase in the percentage of time spent on the initial engagement of families from 30% to 70% as a result of the new Family Intervention Team.
A new short-term reablement service at the Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in Basingstoke was introduced by the County Council. The Firs, located within the hospital site, provides specially adapted accommodation for up to 17 people who receive tailored support from social care staff. This additional capacity is helping to reduce the number of delayed hospital discharges by supporting more effective patient flow and discharge through improved multi-professional and multi-agency working.
98% of parents were offered a place for their child in one of their three preferred secondary schools for September 2018, with over 92% receiving their first choice of secondary school. Almost 99% of pupils transferring from Infant to Junior school received a place at one of their preferred schools – with 97% obtaining a place at their first choice school (consistent with the previous year).
65% of Hampshire’s students taking Key Stage 2 assessments in 2017 achieved the expected level in reading, writing and mathematics, compared with 61% nationally. Hampshire outperformed its statistical neighbours in these results.
Overall attainment in Hampshire secondary schools in 2017 remained above national attainment: 25% of pupils achieved the English Baccalaureate against 24% nationally; 68% of pupils achieved “The Basics” (a grade 9 to 4 in both English and mathematics) against 64% nationally.
CO2 emissions from Local Authority operations1 have fallen to 83,992 tonnes in 2016/17 from 86,684 the previous year (a reduction of 33.30% since 2011/12), keeping the County Council on track to meeting its target of 79,080 tonnes by 2020.
The County Council secured £12.9 million funding from Highways England which, together with a £6.6 million investment from the County Council, will enable improvements to Junction 9 of the M27 and Parkway South Roundabout, Whiteley.
£2.8 million is being invested in energy programmes, including LED Lighting, Electric Vehicles and Battery Technology, which will deliver at least £450,000 of revenue savings. The first phase of the LED lighting installation has been completed in 2017/18, with the rest of the programme to be completed in the next two years.

Bristol family bring rare bee which could be 'devastating' for UK back from Turkey in suitcase
It could spread deadly viruses or out-compete British bees

A Bristol family unwittingly brought a rare Turkish bee into the UK in their luggage - and it could have a 'devastating effect' on the country's bee population.
Husband and wife Ashley, 49, and Louise, 47, went on holiday to Dalaman, in Turkey, with their 15-year-old son Joshua.
They got back a week ago, but the first sign they had of a stow-away in their luggage was when Ashley found an unusual petal cocoon on the sofa of their Kingswood home.
Unaware it was a bee nest belonging to a bee never before seen in the UK, he threw it away.

But then their 19-year-old daughter Amelia did some research and discovered the osmia avosetta is only found in Turkey and Iran.
She got in touch with the National Bee Unit, which is part of the Department for Rural Affair's (Defra's) Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) to let them know.
The family were then told the bee could have a "devastating effect" on British bees and were advised to capture it and kill it. They agreed but hours later the bee was nowhere to be seen, having flown off before the anyone could catch it.
APHA is understood to be planning to pick up the four cocoons it left behind today (July 31) to carry out further tests.
Bristol to be hot as Spain this week as Met Office predicts soaring temperatures
The British Beekeepers Association has warned the osmia avosetta species could have a "devastating effect" on British bees.
Experts said it could endanger native species of bee by spreading deadly viruses, or multiply and eventually out-compete British bees.
Amelia said: "I let them [the National Bee Unit] know the bee was flying around.
"After they got the pictures of the bee, they contacted my mum and told her to capture it.
"They actually advised us to kill it. They advised my mum to capture it and freeze it.
"But then it didn't appear, so we weren't able to capture the bee.
"If we had the chance, we would have done that because that's what needed to be done and what they advised to do, as harsh as it sounds.
"However it wasn't possible. It didn't come back.
"However he did say to get the cocoons and put them in a container. We did that. There are four.
They only discovered the stowaway when dad Ashley found an unusual petal cocoon on the sofa in their Bristol home (Image: Tom Wren SWNS)
"It was just the bee that was still fee. It was too late.
"We haven't seen it since Friday morning. It just hasn't come back.
"They said they'd have to discuss what to do next.
"They mentioned about possibly taking DNA from the cocoon, or perhaps setting up a trap."

Asked about how she felt about Defra killing the bee, she said: "Well I know since they said it could possibly harm other bees that it had to be done, as harsh as it sounds.
"I mean they said it could be a possible threat to the bees or possibly carry a virus.
"Obviously we're going to listen to their advice. My family aren't the experts We don't really have knowledge of bees, so we obviously have to listen to them."
Amelia and her mum Louise with one of the cocoons (Image: Tom Wren SWNS)
The family believe a mason bee or a larvae - only found in Turkey and Iran - made its way into their suitcases while they were on holiday.
'We remain vigilant'
This is thought it's the first time this type of mason bee - osmia avosetta - has been spotted in the UK.
It was only discovered for the first time by a team in Turkey in 2009 - oddly enough the same day another team discovered the same bee and flowery nests in Iran.
An APHA spokesperson said: “We are making arrangements to collect the bee for formal identification and destruction.
“We remain vigilant, working closely with the National Bee Unit and their nationwide network of bee inspectors to monitor the situation.”

The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA), part of Defra, said it would be collecting the cocoons.
When asked about the plan now the bee was no longer in the Toy's home, an APHA spokeswoman said: “We are taking prompt action to collect any cocoons from the house which will be then assessed by experts.
“We continue to work with the National Bee Unit and their nationwide network of bee inspectors to monitor the situation.”
The APHA asked people to report any sightings of potentially non-native bees to a local beekeeping association.

Dial-a-frog – researchers develop the ‘FrogPhone’ to remotely call frogs in the wild
Researchers have developed the ‘FrogPhone’, a novel device which allows scientists to call up a frog survey site and monitor them in the wild. The FrogPhone is the world’s first solar-powered remote survey device that relays environmental data to the observer via text messages, whilst conducting real-time remote acoustic surveys over the phone. These findings are presented in the British Ecological Society Journal Methods in Ecology and Evolution today.

The FrogPhone introduces a new concept that allows researchers to “call” a frog habitat, any time, from anywhere, once the device has been installed. The device has been developed at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Canberra and the University of Canberra in collaboration with the Australian Capital Territory and Region Frogwatch Program and the Australian National University.
The FrogPhone utilises 3G/4G cellular mobile data coverage and capitalises on the characteristic wideband audio of mobile phones, which acts as a carrier for frog calls. Real time frog calls can be transmitted across the 3G/4G network infrastructure, directly to the user’s phone. This supports clear sound quality and minimal background noise, allowing users to identify the calls of different frog species.
“We estimate that the device with its current microphone can detect calling frogs from a 100-150m radius” said lead author Dr. Adrian Garrido Sanchis, Associate Lecturer at UNSW Canberra.
“The device allows us to monitor the local frog population with more frequency and ease, which is significant as frog species are widely recognised as indicators of environmental health”
said the ACT and Region Frogwatch coordinator and co-author, Anke Maria Hoefer.
The FrogPhone unifies both passive acoustic and active monitoring methods, all in a waterproof casing. The system has a large battery capacity coupled to a powerful solar panel. It also contains digital thermal sensors to automatically collect environmental data such as water and air temperature in real-time. The FrogPhone uses an open-source platform which allows any researcher to adapt it to project-specific needs.

The system simulates the main features of a mobile phone device. The FrogPhone accepts incoming calls independently after three seconds. These three seconds allow time to activate the temperature sensors and measure the battery storage levels. All readings then get automatically texted to the caller’s phone.

Acoustic monitoring of animals generally involves either site visits by a researcher or using battery-powered passive acoustic devices, which record calls and store them locally on the device for later analysis. These often require night-time observation, when frogs are most active. Now, when researchers dial a device remotely, the call to the FrogPhone can be recorded indirectly and analysed later.
Ms. Hoefer remarked that “The FrogPhone will help to drastically reduce the costs and risks involved in remote or high intensity surveys. Its use will also minimize potential negative impacts of human presence at survey sites. These benefits are magnified with increasing distance to and inaccessibility of a field site.”
A successful field trial of the device was performed in Canberra from August 2017 to March 2018. Researchers used spectrograms, graphs which allow the visual comparison of the spectrum of frequencies of frog signals over time, to test the recording capabilities of the FrogPhone.

Ms. Hoefer commented that “The spectrogram comparison between the FrogPhone and the standard direct mobile phone methodology in the lab, for the calls of 9 different frog species, and the field tests have proven that the FrogPhone can be successfully used as a new alternative to conduct frog call surveys.”
The use of the current FrogPhone is limited to areas with adequate 3G/4G phone coverage. Secondly, to listen to frogs in a large area, several survey devices would be needed. In addition, it relies on exposure to sunlight.
Future additions to the FrogPhone could include a satellite communications module for poor signal areas, or the use of multidirectional microphones for large areas. Lead author Garrido Sanchis emphasized that “In densely vegetated areas the waterproof case of the FrogPhone allows the device to be installed as a floating device in the middle of a pond, to maximise solar access to recharge the batteries”.
Dr. Garrido Sanchis said “While initially tested in frogs, the technology used for the FrogPhone could easily be extended to capture other animal vocalisation (e.g. insects and mammals), expanding the applicability to a wide range of biodiversity conservation studies”.

Obituary for Paul Nitze
Tomohiko Taniguchi Friday, October 29, 2004
PDF File Download Japanese version
Paul Nitze, long-time American strategist diplomat, passed away on October 19, 2004. One of the cornerstones of Nitze’s legacy is NSC-68, the State Department study that he directed on the verge of Korean War which urged military deterrence of the Soviet threat.
NSC-68 was important not only for American strategy but also for Japan, and may have affected the course of Japan’s post-World War II development more than the Japanese “Peace Constitution,” CNAPS Visiting Fellow Tomohiko Taniguchi argues.

BRUU - The Gourmet Subscription Tea Club
Lockhart Tea Plantation, India
Last month BRUU packed a bag and flew to India on a mission to learn more about tea. We headed to Munnar in South India, a region famous for its vast tea estates and a climate perfectly suited to tea.
Exclusive behind the scenes at Lockhart Tea Factory
As we wound around the scenic roads and stopped to enjoy the wonderful valleys below, there was no doubt that we was in the right place, surrounded by perfectly cultivated farmland rich with Camellia Senesis.
5 things we learned in India
1) The people in South India are wonderful. Humble, generous and hospitable.
2) Tea doesn’t taste too good until it is processed.
3) Freshly cut tea smells like freshly cut privets.
4) Yes, the factory did smell like a cup of tea.
5) The roads are as crazy as you imagined, although a lot quieter in the South.
We arranged to meet Lockhart Tea Factory, which is one of the largest producers of tea in South India. The factory was located about 30 minutes south of Munnar, a famous hill station, and was responsible for managing over 50 sq/km of plantations.
On arrival we were greeted with a warm welcome by all of the team and was immediately handed a cup of black tea - standard! Whilst the factory is open to tourists, we was given exclusive access to the whole factory and plantations and was even allowed to take photographs. How lucky!
Our journey began in a 4x4 as we travelled up into the plantation, along some fairly bumpy roads, passing fresh elephant dung and eucalyptus plants before arriving at a plantation that was being worked on by pickers. This is the very first part of the tea process and was quite a sight to see the tea being picked by hand. Hand shears were used to harvest the leaves used for green, black and oolong tea, whilst the newer buds are plucked by hand and used for more expensive white tea.
The plantations are carefully managed to ensure the tea across all 50 sq/km is consistent in taste. Soil PH levels are monitored regularly and beautiful trees are perfectly placed so that shade is given to each Camellia Sinensis bush at the perfect time in the day to aid photosynthesis. It is also down to the picking teams to be selective about the type of leaves they pick, relying on years of experience choosing the perfect leaf.
Once the tea is plucked it is loaded into a trailer and taken back down to the factory which sits in the valley. It is then loaded onto a moving cylinder, like a big washing machine drum, which helps to shake away any unwanted insects before it is lifted on a conveyor belt into the factory.
The tea arrives on the top floor of the factory and is loaded into long open troughs. Here it will begin to wither and reduce in weight as moisture within the leaf evaporates. Each trough is dated to show how long the tea leaf has been in there.
Next, a giant machine, fed upstairs by an opening in the trough (like a big plug hole) begins to roll the withered tea leaves. This is a vital step in the tea making process as the cells of the leaf are broken, which releases vital chemicals and oils in the leaf structure which breaks the tea down further.
It’s such an intricate process, one would assume a freshly picked leaf would taste like tea when boiled, but the leaf would be bitter and would not resemble the tea we know and love today. It makes you wonder, how many other plants in the world have secret flavours locked behind processes we do not even know about yet. Perhaps if we boiled a daffodil to 75C for 30 minutes, rubbed it against oak bark, left it in the sun for 6 weeks and poured on hot water, we would have the next best thing to tea - who knows?!
Now the tea has been rolled it is carried by hand in large buckets and spread on a flatbed so that it can naturally oxidise. This is where the structure of the tea dramatically changes, just like an apple does the moment it is peeled. The longer the tea is left here, the stronger it will become. Black tea is left to oxidise for the longest, then oolong, then green and finally white. It’s amazing to think that the same tea that comes into this room, can leave to be either black, oolong, green or white depending on how long it has oxidised. It is one of the reason why individuals who drink one particular tea can enjoy other teas, since they share very similar taste profiles because they all come from the same Camellia Senesis plant.
Once oxidised, it is the first time the leaf has become tea. But before the tea can leave the factory it needs to be graded. The tea is now a mixture of large leaves, small leaves, broken leaves, dust and even stalks. Think if what happens when you cut a bush in the garden. The pile of cut leaves is made up of lots of different sizes and it is now the factories job to separate and grade them.
First the tea is loaded into large dryers which quickly removes any surface moisture remaining. It is then shaken in giant machine colanders with different size holes which helps to separate the tea. Clever rollers charged with static then removes any stalks which can give tea a bitter taste and are loaded with caffeine. It is a fascinating experience to watch the tea travel between different machines and human stations. The final machine has 60 cameras which looks at the tea and takes out any remaining impurities or stalks.
Now the tea that was first cut on the plantation is separated into different bags. Some of the bags have larger tea leaves graded as Orange Pekoe, which are full leaves and offer a very light brew. At the other end of the spectrum is tea graded as fannings/dust which are the smallest parts of the tea and these usually get sold to brands to use in tea bags.
During our visit we fell in love with three teas. The first was an Orthodox OP tea, a very light black but packed with flavour. We also enjoyed a full leaf OP green tea, which had a delightful aroma and if brewed longer becomes a smoky, almost lapsang tea. Our favourite though was the CTC BOP Gold, which was the estates pride and joy. It was loaded with flavour and when a little sugar is added, creates the best black breakfast teas we have every tasted.
It was such a privilege to witness tea being processed and seeing all the expertise and effort that go into making the humble cup of tea. Most of all though it opened our eyes to the importance that tea should be fresh. Most teas consumed in the UK are over 18 months old when they finally reach your cup and until you have tried tea that was picked less than 30 days ago, you don't know what you are missing., The fresh aroma, the oils, the delicate yet whole flavours. It was so good we brought all three teas back (by air freight) and are probably one of the only companies in the UK that can say our teas were picked by us less than 30 days ago!
On that note, our members are in for a treat in our next tea box as we introduce them to the teas we selected. Sign up before the 30th March 2017 and you can experience these teas for yourself.

"Transformers" actor Shia LaBeouf revealed during a segment on "The Ellen Show" Tuesday that he mostly prefers vanilla, "missionary" style sex.
"No, it's not my thing," the actor said to host Ellen DeGeneres when she asked if he was a member of the Mile High club.
"I'm very cuddly, cute. I'm very '50s America," the actor explained, adding, "I'm a cuddly, '50s, Rockwell, missionary, boring sex guy."
After LaBeouf revealed he's a fan of missionary sex, DeGeneres and the audience applauded him and gave him a standing ovation.
DeGeneres went on to ask the "Holes" actor if he had any advice for his 12-year-old self.
"Just stay on course, boring sex will get you applauded in the future," LaBeouf joked.

Toilet paper crisis in Taiwan sparks government intervention
Tue, Feb 27, 2018 - 3:25 PM
Taiwan's premier is urging the public to avoid hoarding toilet paper after a reported spike in prices by manufacturers spurred a run on supermarket supplies.
PHOTO: EPA-EFE
[TAIPEI] Taiwan's premier is urging the public to avoid hoarding toilet paper after a reported spike in prices by manufacturers spurred a run on supermarket supplies.
The island's government is monitoring distributors and retailers for signs of price manipulation after local media said major toilet-paper brands would boost prices by as as much as 30 per cent from next month, spurring anxious shoppers to stock up on the product and strip store shelves over the weekend.
More than half of the varieties of toilet paper listed on Yahoo's Taiwan shopping website were out of stock on Tuesday. The Fair Trade Commission says it will investigate whether the major brands have been colluding over prices, warning that the offense is punishable by fines of as much as NT$100 million (S$4.4 8million).
While ordinary Taiwanese may be in panic mode, the crisis initially proved good news for related companies. A gauge of paper stocks surged by a record on the Taiwan exchange on Monday, with YFY Inc., Taiwan's biggest toilet paper maker by market value, jumping 7 per cent before pulling back today.
U.S. pulp prices have risen more than 35 per cent in the past year, contributing to the hike in toilet-paper costs. But the outlook may turn for Taiwan.
Time for Beijing and Taiwan to reassess cross-strait policy
While paper prices are expected to continue trending higher in the long term, the government's actions and competition in the Taiwanese market may mean the reported price hikes don't actually come to pass on the island, said Taishin Securities Investment Advisory Co. Vice President Huang Wen-ching, who tracks local paper stocks.

Recruitment for NSW Transport Officers
The New South Wales Government is in the process of recruiting 65 more Transport Officers
Recruitment is now underway for 65 additional Transport Officers to boost the number of officers checking tickets on public transport in New South Wales.
The new recruits will join 150 Transport Officers who already work alongside the Police Transport Command, and will bring the total number of Transport Officers in the state to 215.
Minister for Transport Gladys Berejiklian says the State Government’s strategy to reduce fare evasion is proving a success.
More than 111,000 fines have been issued since Transport Officers started in May 2013.
"Transport Officers work closely with the Police Transport Command, who in addition have issued more than 100,000 infringements on the transport network for offences including fare evasion," she says.
"Fare evasion costs taxpayers millions of dollars a year, and while the majority of customers do the right thing, it’s frustrating when others don’t pay their way."
The boost in numbers means Transport Officers will be able target Sydney hot spots and outer suburban areas, including Wollongong, the Blue Mountains and the Central Coast.
Transport Officers now have new technology to help them tackle fare evasion more effectively.
"Transport Officers are now equipped with a handheld smart device which automatically sends infringement notices in the post, meaning less time on administration and more time helping customers and reducing fare evasion," says Berejiklian.
"Transport Officers also use hand-held Opal readers to scan customers’ Opal cards and ensure people have tapped on correctly – another important way we’re tackling fare evasion."
The NSW Government has also introduced an initiative to turn off concession sales at ticket machines at selected stations, ensuring customers need to show proof of entitlement.
A recruitment campaign for the new Transport Officers is now underway, training for the additional officers will start in January and the first of the new officers will be on the job by April 2015.

Eastern Illinois University upgrades to biomass
By Canadian Biomass
Nov. 23, 2009, Minneapolis, MN – Honeywell has announced a $79-million renewable energy and building retrofit program with Eastern Illinois University in Charleston, Illinois.
Nov. 23, 2009, Minneapolis, MN – Honeywell has announced a $79-million renewable energy and
building retrofit program with Eastern Illinois University (EIU) in Charleston,
Illinois. The program, which combines energy-efficient facility upgrades with
one of the largest biomass-fueled heating plants on a university campus, will
help EIU address deferred maintenance, improve its infrastructure, and save
approximately $140 million in energy and operating costs over the next two
decades.
EIU will finance the improvements and use the
savings, guaranteed by Honeywell through a 20-year performance contract, to pay
for the work. The upgrades will affect all facilities on the campus and
significantly curb the university’s energy use and greenhouse gas emissions. Carbon
dioxide emissions will decrease by nearly 20,000 tonnes/year.
The focal point of the program is the
construction of a new steam plant on the southeast corner of campus that will
be driven by two large biomass gasifiers. The plant will use wood chips sourced
from the local logging industry to generate steam and heat buildings on campus.
It will replace the university’s aging steam plant, which is inconveniently
located in the center of campus, consumes more than 10,000 tons/year of coal, and
requires constant maintenance.
Through biomass gasification, the wood chips
are heated in an airtight, oxygen-deprived chamber until they break down to
create a synthetic gas that burns similar to natural gas. The gas is used to
fire the boilers, giving the university a carbon-neutral solution for heating
its facilities.
As part of the new plant, Honeywell will also
install a small turbine that uses excess steam to produce electricity. The
turbine is expected to generate more than 2.9 million kWh/year of electricity,
reducing the amount of energy the university purchases from the grid and
providing another environmentally friendly energy source. EIU has also
implemented various energy conservation measures.
Honeywell will provide ongoing commissioning,
measurement, and verification as part of the contract. The upgrades are expected
to be complete by end of 2012.

TRUCE: A support program for young people who have a parent with cancer
No matter how much you hope it doesn’t, life changes when you have a parent diagnosed with cancer.
Luckily, you’re not alone.
Truce is a free 7-week program for young people who have a parent with cancer, to come together and connect over their shared experiences. It’s a place for support, but is not a support group. Truce equips young people with the skills they need to cope through these difficult times, helps them learn to communicate better with parents and family, and helps them focus more on what’s important to them in life.
What does the TRUCE program involve?
You will take part in 7 face-to-face group sessions with other young people who have a parent with cancer. These sessions will run for about 2 hours.
The groups are led by experienced facilitators who will take the group through a series of activities and discussions based on coping skill development. Parents or caregivers are invited to take part in one joint session with The group, but it is up to the individual if they want to invite their parent/care giver.
You don’t have to be a CanTeen member to take part in Truce.
Truce Online
We are also offering an ‘online’ version of Truce. Young people can dial into Truce via a video link (e.g., Skype) and participate in the program from their homes.
This option has been added to enable people who are unable to attend sessions physically to take part in Truce.
Evaluation of the program
Truce is part of an optional research study helping us understand what helps young people cope with having a parent with cancer. To learn more about the research study evaluating Truce, click here.
To evaluate Truce, we are asking people to complete three surveys before you start the program. These surveys will ask you about how you currently deal with difficult thoughts and feelings. We’ll give you a $20 iTunes voucher for your time!
You can download consent forms for young people and parents below:
Information Sheet and Consent Form for Young People

Are you aged between 14 – 22 years?
Do you have a parent or caregiver who was diagnosed or relapsed with cancer within the last 5 years?
Just fill in the expression of interest form below and click ‘done’ when you’re finished.
For more information, feel free to call us on 1800 234 007
Ready for the next stage: Giving consent
Before you can take part in TRUCE, we need you to send in a signed Consent Form. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian will also need to give their permission for you to be part of TRUCE.
Information Sheet and Consent Form – young people
Information Sheet and Consent Form – parents
To send this to us, please write the following on the front of your envelope (no stamp is required):

Whether you are a health professional, parent or young person we are happy to help you find out more about TRUCE!

He is additionally adept at dealing with issues of medical consent. “

“Lindsays acquired the well-established medical negligence practice from Brodies LLP in February 2017; the practice, which stands out for the ‘sensitivity’ it offers to clients pursuing medical negligence claims, is highly active in court litigation, as well as alternative dispute resolution. The practice is led by ‘impressive’ David Armstrong, who is noted for providing ‘well-organised instructions’ and the manner in which he deals with defending parties. In a recent highlight, he successfully represented a client in a complex causation case involving a patient who suffered complications following surgery, which was settled with an award of periodic payments to cover additional care costs.

Rubicon Project aims to tackle ad-blocking by giving users active control
by Simon Gwynn December 08, 2016
Advertising network Rubicon Project is launching Project Awesome, a consumer solution that allows users to actively control which types of ads they receive online, and how they receive them.
Rubicon Project said that users of the platform would be able to give real-time feedback on ads, create profiles of their personal interests – which can be done in one minute – and like and dislike categories of ads and specific creatives.
It would then use Rubicon Project’s machine learning technology to adapt and hone an individual user’s advertising experience based upon the data received. Users will be able to "snooze" specific ads, ensuring they do not see them again for a set period of time, and block them permanently.
Rubicon Project cited a recent study carried out by Adobe, in which 78% of consumers said they liked personalised ads, but only 28% thought ads targeted to them were tailored correctly.
Frank Addante, chief executive and founder of Rubicon Project, said the solution, which initially launches as a private beta, was aimed at creating an alternative to the "all or nothing" nature of ad blockers.
He said: "Our vision is to turn advertising into information and provide information as a service to consumers.
"There have always been three participants involved in advertising and for too long our industry has focused on the buyers and sellers and ignored consumers and their experience. The increasing adoption of ad blockers, privacy concerns and general apathy for ads, are symptoms of this lack of focus on the consumer experience.
"People recently have been given a choice with ad blockers, but their choice has been limited to either see all ads or block all ads. That’s not ideal for consumers, advertisers or publishers and application developers."

Uber really needs to grow up
by David Parry December 08, 2017
With its license to operate in Sheffield suspended, what does Uber need to do to turn the tide?
Uber is on a journey in more ways than one.
Its meteoric rise might have put it at the top of Fortune’s Unicorn List, but today the company is fighting a reputational war on several fronts. Fresh from damaging revelations about a serious global data breach and already knee-deep in a licence appeal in London, this week the company found itself on the back foot once again as claims it failed to respond to official requests about its management resulted in its licence being suspended in Sheffield.
Of course, this all comes in the wake of well-documented allegations of sexual harassment and an aggressively sexist company culture that began spewing out of the company in February and eventually culminated in the ousting of co-founder Travis Kalanick as chief executive in June.
Despite its problems, change is afoot. As part of efforts to rebuild its tarnished reputation led by chief brand officer Bozoma Saint John and new chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi, Uber is ushering in a new raft of cultural norms. Into the dustbin goes "always be hustlin’" and "principled confrontation" and in come "we build globally, we live locally" and "we do the right thing".
In both words and actions, Uber sounds like a brand that has, in no uncertain terms, been told to ‘grow up’.
The reason is that, like so many of its tech contemporaries, Uber has scaled rapidly and globally almost exclusively on the basis of a disruptive business model and speed to market. It is of one of the many digitally native businesses defined by a ‘launch fast and iterate faster’ approach, exploiting digital network effects and peer-to-peer economics – not to mention a bullish approach – to pull the rug from beneath a variety of incumbent players.
Dynamic and exciting, yes, but in the dash for domination there is an inevitable risk of prioritising growth above all else. And when this is the case, then there is an equally inevitable risk of neglecting your brand, your purpose and your company culture - the essential elements that serve to underpin everything a business does.
As the late branding guru Wally Olins said, the concept of brand is quite simple: it’s the central guiding idea of a business that "persuades outsiders to buy and insiders to believe". Without it, or without articulating it properly, companies such as Uber can find there is a price to pay. This is arguably the reason they are now having to work so hard to clear up the mess, learning the hard way that a disruptive model, a great user experience and a nice logo are not enough when times get tough.
And times are certainly tougher in 2017. Digital innovators haven’t needed to worry about any of this until now but today’s consumers and policymakers have woken up to the darker sides of digital, and they are looking beyond the appeal of novelty alone to ask deeper questions about the nature of the services at our fingertips. If consumers cannot find satisfactory answers backed by a clear, compelling and trusted brand story, those businesses are at risk.
Snap is arguably the latest of the tech darlings to find this out. In its third-quarter earnings report on 7 November, the messaging platform missed analyst targets for revenues, new users and total daily users, triggering an 18% drop in its share price. With growth hard to come by, Snap chief executive Evan Spiegel is ushering in a raft of changes, and those are associated as much with the brand as they are with product and user experience. It is pivoting from being known as an app for teenagers to becoming a profitable messaging business, embracing its creative roots to build a broader audience of real scale.
There are other examples. Amazon has acquired an existing brand – Whole Foods – in the hugely competitive US grocery market. We have been happy to buy books, music and toys from them but will we trust them to feed our family organic apples and French cheese, and if so - why? For that matter, will consumers trust an Uber branded credit card in light of the way it has covered up a major data breach?
For Uber, it’s not yet clear where its brand journey will end and Dara Khosrowshahi clearly has his work cut out. As we head into 2018, perhaps other disruptor brands should see it as an alarm bell and ask themselves: is it time to grow up?

Connections FAQ
What is ChargePoint Connections?
How do I connect to an organization or request a connection?
Where do I get a connection code from?
How long does it take for me to be accepted?
How do I tell if my connection request has been approved or denied?
How do I know if a station requires a connection or not?
I was accepted as a connection, why am I still unable to use a specific station?
My employer told me I was approved to use the stations, but I get an error code every time I go to use the stations?
Why do I have to connect to an Org before using certain stations?
Connections enable drivers to connect with organizations and businesses that own ChargePoint stations. Some organizations also offer special deals or discounts, such as free or discounted charging sessions to connected drivers.
To connect with an organization via website, log in to your ChargePoint account and in the account section, open the Connections section. Follow the prompts to locate connection or enter Connection Code provided by Organization. Complete the requested information from the organization and submit.
To connect with an organization via mobile app, log in and click on icon in upper right next to search bar. Select Connection, click on Browse Connections, and follow prompt to locate connection or enter Connection Code provided by Organization.
The station owner is the entity that creates this code and can provide it to drivers. ChargePoint cannot provide this information to customers. If this is for a workplace or similar situation, we suggest contacting your employer’s HR or Facilities team to obtain this information.
Requests will be listed as Pending until the organization approves the connection. ChargePoint does not have visibility into the reasoning behind an organization’s decision to remove, deny, or accept a Connection Request.
You will be able to see on your Connections Page whether or not your connection is Active, still Pending, or has disappeared (denied). You will also receive an email notification.
Typically stations that require connections are invisible on the CP Map to all driver who cannot use them, others only require a connection in order to get a discounted charging rate.
It takes some time for all of our connection requests/approvals to reach the station, typically you should be able to use the station within 24 hrs from station owner approval.
My employer told me I was approved to use the stations, but I get an error code every time I go to use the stations (I am not allowed to use this station, or it is closed)?
A connection code is required.
Stations on the ChargePoint network are independently owned and operated, so each station owner gets to choose who uses their chargers. They can control other aspects as well such as the pricing, time of use, whether it is visible on the map, and much more.

A Young Person's Guide to Composition
For Young Performers (any instrument) and Orchestra
(2014) 24 minutes
Solo Instrument(s): Young Performers (all instruments)
Orchestration: 2+pic.2.2.2/4.2.2+btbn.1/timp.4perc/hp/str
Commissioned by the London Chamber Orchestra's Music Junction programme and premiered at Cadogan Hall on 22nd May 2014 by 150 school children and the London Chamber Orchestra conducted by Christopher Warren Green.
A Young Person’s Guide to Composition is inspired by Britten’s The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra, the theme of Begone, Dull Care! (from Britten’s Friday Afternoons) and musical ideas (in response to emotions that I set at the beginning of the series of workshops) from all of the young people involved in the LCO’s Music Junction project.
The commission, which was to write a piece for the London Chamber Orchestra and Music Junction’s young performers, was at first very difficult to get my head around! How to write a piece that was as faithful to my own compositional language as possible whilst also allowing for the participation of some absolute beginners? I wanted to give everyone as accurate an insight in to my compositional process as possible, and with this in mind we used emotions as a starting point and created improvisations during the workshops that sought to express Hope, Excitement, Courage and Pride. I then took the musical ideas generated in the workshops and used them as the basis for my work. With the exception of Courageous Rondo, all the material that Music Junction plays has been created by the young people involved, and the challenge for me was to use all my compositional tools to create a work that I hope is fulfilling to play, becomes more than a sum of its parts, and is true to my own musical style.
The movements are as follows:
Theme - Begone, Dull Care!
Variation I (for orchestra alone)
Variation II - Hopeful Harmonies (for young musicians and orchestra)
Variation III (orchestra alone)
Variation IV - Excited Ostinati (Y.M. + orch) - followed by Music Junction Improvisation
Variation V - Courageous Rondo (Y.M. + orch)
Variation VI - for orchestral ‘cellos, basses and harp
Variation VII - Prideful Passacaglia (Y.M.+ orch) - followed by Music Junction Improvisation
Grand Choral Finale! (for Y.M., orch and audience!

History - Hot Springs
Legacy of Firsts
It all began in 1888.
What began in a modified hotel in 1888 continues as CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs, almost 130 years after its founding in the Spa City. Today, CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs is a regional acute-care hospital, providing an emergency department with a Level 2 Trauma Center designation, a large medical group clinic network and a comprehensive range of medical services.
But it started from a much more humble beginning. During the Civil War, Hot Springs was nearly deserted and those who were there had to deal with intimidation from advancing and retreating troops. After the war ended, several families who had lived in Hot Springs returned and reopened the stores and hotels. The groundwork was laid when the Rev. Patrick McGowan, a devoted friend of the Sisters of Mercy who settled in Hot Springs after retiring from active service, donated land to build a school in Hot Springs in 1880. In 1888, Father McGowan asked Hot Springs physician Dr. J.M Keller to buy a building and surrounding property that was suitable for the location of a hospital.
The perfect building was already there. It was being used as the Adams Hotel on Cedar Terrace and had originally been built to use as a potential hospital. Father McGowan donated the building and property, valued at $10,000, to the Sisters of Mercy. The Guardian, the state’s most prominent Catholic publication at the time, published it was “on a prominent elevation, large and commodious, attractive in architecture at once catches the eye, and holds the attention of the stranger.”
Shortly thereafter, Mother Mary Aloysius Fitzpatrick and Sister Mary Clare Quinlan of St. Mary’s Convent in Little Rock were sent to Hot Springs with orders to administer and operate a hospital. They were given $1 for operating expenses, as well as instructions to turn the frame house into a 30-bed hospital and name it St. Joseph’s Infirmary.
The hospital was opened to Hot Springs residents on September 24, 1888, and the first patient, an engineer, was admitted by local physician Dr. Charles Drake. Mother Aloysius and Sister Clare were kept so busy during their first six months that Sisters Lucina Primm and Rose Blackmore were sent from Little Rock to help in the new hospital. Toward the end of the hospital’s first year of existence, another Sister was sent and the five continued the work of providing health care for the residents of Hot Springs.
A year later, the Sisters’ great benefactor in Hot Springs, Father McGowan, was admitted to St. Joseph’s Infirmary as a patient. He was cared for by the Sisters there – and prayed for by all of Arkansas’ Sisters of Mercy – until he died in November of 1889. The number of patients the Sisters at St. Joseph’s Infirmary were seeing continued to grow, and by the turn of the century it was evident that an expansion was needed.
In 1903, a five-story annex made of brick and stone was constructed adjacent to the original building. The new hospital building sat parallel and slightly in front of the original structure facing Cedar Street, and the two were connected at their rear left and right front corners by a five-story porch.
St. Joseph’s Infirmary was becoming extremely well known throughout the South and Midwest. It was modern in every detail and equipped to give the mineral baths for which Hot Springs was so widely known.
The April 11, 1903, edition of the Watertown (N.Y.) Herald wrote: “St. Joseph’s Infirmary is a combination of a first-class hotel and hospital; a place for the person seeking rest, recreation or health. The service is that which one is accustomed at a first class hotel. And yet there is on the top floor a modern operating room, which must be a delight to physicians, a pharmacy, as the accessories to a hospital. A hospital with all the detailed furnishings of a hotel is St. Joseph’s.”
The bath rooms were on the first floor with hot water from the celebrated springs conducted in protected pipes to preserve the natural heat and healing virtue.
The Sisters of Mercy were experienced and well-trained nurses, capable of giving patients that careful and skillful attention which promoted rapid and permanent recovery from sickness. All of the area’s prominent doctors treated patients at the Infirmary.
In 1927, the Sisters of Mercy opened Arkansas’ first million dollar hospital on adjacent property. That building was used until 1991 when St. Joseph’s Mercy Health Center opened at the current location of St. Vincent Hot Springs’ main campus.
CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs has undergone a number of name changes throughout its history. In 1888, Mother Aloysius was instructed to name the original hospital St. Joseph’s Infirmary because such a title was in vogue at the time. In 1921 the name was officially changed to St. Joseph’s Hospital. That title endured until 1976 when the name of the hospital, which had grown by leaps and bounds, was changed to St. Joseph’s Mercy Medical Center because it had come to be recognized as one of the most modern facilities of its kind in a seven-state area. In 1981, the name was changed to St. Joseph’s Regional Health Center because it served a five-county area. The name was then changed to St. Joseph’s Mercy Health Center in 2001. In 2012 as part of a multi-state branding initiative, the name changed to Mercy Hospital Hot Springs.
In 2014, Mercy Health and Catholic Health Initiatives (CHI) signed a definitive agreement to transfer ownership of Mercy Hot Springs hospital and medical group to CHI St. Vincent. The agreement recognized the extremely challenging health care environment in Arkansas and how working together would enhance the Catholic health ministry and strengthen access to health care are key objectives.
Name changes aside, the same foundational mission and values that steered CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs through its first 125 years, promise to serve the Hot Springs area well into the future as they keep the hospital on a steadfast course of providing patients with the very best in compassionate health care.

Family Violence Can Lead Boys to Aggression and Drug Problems
Jim Liebelt | Senior Writer, Editor and Researcher for the HomeWord Center for Youth and Family at Azusa Pacific University | Tuesday, July 16, 2013
Boys exposed to familial violence, including conflict between siblings, become increasingly aggressive toward their peers at school, and this aggression is associated with greater levels of alcohol and drug use over time, a new study by a University of Illinois researcher suggests.
While familial violence more directly influences girls' alcohol and drug use during adolescence, it seems to do so independently of aggressive behavior such as bullying and fighting, according to the study, which was published online recently in the Journal of Research on Adolescence.
Bullying and school violence expert Dorothy Espelage led the research, which indicated that verbal and physical aggression between and among siblings may be as detrimental to children as exposure to interparental domestic violence. However, few researchers, particularly in the U.S., have comprehensively examined family violence by including aggression between siblings in their studies, focusing instead on the impact of inter-parental violence alone.
"There's been a growing consensus that family violence is a training ground for peer aggression and associated risk behaviors such as substance abuse," said Espelage, who is an educational psychologist in the College of Education. "However, awareness of the impact of sibling aggression on bullying has lagged behind other types of family violence. It is imperative that researchers investigating the family context of bullying and substance abuse examine not only violence involving parents but also that involving siblings."

Jacqueline Jossa wins I'm A Celebrity but leaves viewers heartbroken with 'doormat' comment
Jacqueline Jossa won I'm A Celebrity but left viewers upset with something she said in her interview
She is the toast of the jungle after winning I'm A Celebrity on Sunday night but Jacqueline Jossa left viewers heartbroken with something she said in her interview.
EastEnders actress Jacqueline upset the odds by beating red hot favourite Andy Whyment to triumph in Sunday's live final, with Roman Kemp finishing in third.
Jacqueline's I'm A Celebrity win , while celebrated by plenty of people who had her as their Queen of the Jungle from day one, didn't go down too well with others, who even claimed the result was fixed and Andy should have won.
But, before Ant & Dec had even announced the final result, viewers were upset by something that Jacqueline said to the Geordie duo in the video above.
When questioned on how much getting to the I'm A Celebrity final meant to her, the 27-year-old mum of two said: "I think it's so easy to care so much what other people think of you, trolls, people who say nasty things for the sake of it and I try to change their opinion.
"Here you have no choice, you have to be you. Here I have different people bigging me up of different ages, I can't really work out what is happening.
"I've always been known as Lauren from EastEnders, or a doormat, or whatever you want to call it, and coming here I have actually proved myself."
And the "doormat" comment really got to a number of fans watching at home. One reacted "Jacqueline saying people know her as a doormat has broke my heart," and another tweeted "Jacqueline referring to herself as a doormat breaks my f***** heart, I hope she realises she deserves better poor lassie."
Jacqueline is married to former TOWIE cast member Dan Osborne but their marriage has been dogged by cheating rumours, with Dan slamming more allegations made against him just this week, from Chloe Ayling, the model who he appeared in Celebrity Big Brother with in 2018.

Is the U.S. ready for China’s ‘space militias’?
By Adam Routh
Economic interests in space continue to rise. In 2016 the global space economy represented $329 billion, and 76 percent of the total was produced through commercial efforts. With some of the most lucrative endeavors like asteroid mining, space tourism, micro satellites, and space colonies still in the early stages of development and application, it’s no wonder economic projections estimate the space sector will grow by $2.7 billion over the next three decades.
Nations’ militaries will continue to protect vital economic interests, and outer space will be no exception. But how will it happen? Will the United States see peer competitor militaries expand more aggressively into outer space? The answer lies in gray zone tactics and space militias.
The operational complexities of the space environment coupled with poorly defined international norms and laws will likely encourage U.S. adversaries to use gray zone tactics. Chinese maritime militias provide a likely model.
Maritime militias are merchant and commercial vessels that, when called upon, support roles similar to those found in law enforcement, disaster relief, and the military. Maritime militias are rather common around the world and often serve useful missions. There are also maritime militias, however, that do more than serve peacefully.

Compaq pins Internet hopes on new server line
The PC maker's CEO, Michael Capellas, releases a line of intricate, expensive servers that the company wants to integrate into the backbone of the Internet.
January 2, 2002 4:43 PM PST
Compaq Computer CEO Michael Capellas today released a line of intricate, expensive servers that the company wants to integrate into the backbone of the Internet.
Announcing the launch of its AlphaServer, code-named Wildfire, Capellas outlined the Houston-based PC maker's transformation into an Internet infrastructure company capable of taking on Sun Microsystems and others.
The new servers, priced between $100,000 and $1 million, stand at
Gartner analyst Tom Henkel says that for Compaq's new server line to substantially boost its competitive standing in the midrange server market, the company must successfully leverage the AlphaServer GS to capture the attention of new server accounts.
see commentary
the center of Compaq's attack on Sun, the leader in the $32 billion Unix server market. Compaq is also betting its broader product portfolio and its restructured approach to delivering Web-based products and services will give it an edge.
"The AlphaServer GS today, the product we are announcing, really has been built to handle that middle tier of the most demanding of e-business solutions," Capellas said during this morning's launch event in New York. "We will be in an absolute leadership position in availability, scalability and in just pure raw performance."
Despite Wildfire's impressive performance--the 32-processor model boasts benchmark figures on par with or better than Sun's 64-processor E10000, or Starfire--Compaq has a tough road ahead of it, say analysts.
"While Compaq's Wildfire servers do appear impressive, there is no guarantee that the company will be able to take away a large share of the Unix server market from its formidable competition," said Merrill Lynch analyst Steven Fortuna. "Customers that use one brand of server will often stay with future server generations from the same vendor to minimize software upgrade difficulties and to reduce the need to port programs (i.e., to move and recompile programs) from one brand of server to another."
Compaq eventually will offer three Wildfire models--the eight-processor GS80, the 16-processor GS160 and the 32-processor GS320--but only the GS160 initially will be available. The GS320 will be available later this quarter, and the GS80 is expected to ship in the third quarter.
The GS80 will cost around $100,000, the GS160 around $500,000, and the GS320 more than $1 million. The high-end servers initially will come with OpenVMS or Tru64 Unix. Linux systems will be available later.
The computer maker has, as of today, 237 preorders for Wildfire, which it expects to bring in about $1 billion this year. But the majority of preorders are by existing AlphaServer customers. Only about 8 percent are from new customers.
Compaq spent five years developing the AlphaServer GS, which Capellas emphasized is a new computing architecture and not just a server built around an updated processor. As such, Compaq has applied for almost 50 patents on the server's design. It will use Compaq's 700-MHz EV67 Alpha processor and will support the faster EV68 when it becomes available.
The server is designed for about five years of service, which, being at the beginning of its life cycle, could be an advantage over competitors, Fortuna said.
"Compaq does, however, have the advantage of being positioned at the beginning of the five-year life cycle of the Wildfire, which should make future versions easier to roll out," he explained. "Compaq could take advantage of any missteps or significant delays in the introduction of upcoming generations of servers by its competitors."
While Wildfire was the showpiece of Compaq's event, it was not the centerpiece of its message. Capellas made it clear Compaq will increasingly focus on Internet infrastructure and cede nothing to rivals.
"Internet infrastructure" is to hardware makers what "business-to-business" is to software developers: an all-encompassing expression du jour used to describe an opportunistic expansion of their historical businesses.
Dell Computer CEO Michael Dell recently delivered a similar message, shifting his company to becoming a deliverer of Internet infrastructure products and services. But unlike Dell, which is building on its PC heritage, Compaq is tying a wide range of products, from big-iron servers to handheld PCs.
Capellas believes the nature of the Web is changing, and computer manufacturers and their customers must rethink how they deploy e-commerce and other Web-based systems. Part of the problem is demand, which the Compaq CEO said has been grossly underestimated.
International Data Corp. estimates there are about 200 million Internet users today, with the number expected to reach 500 million by 2003. But with 850 million to 1 billion wireless users, many with Internet access capability, industry watchers have underestimated the demand for non-PC devices connecting to the Web, such as handhelds, email machines or cell phones capable of conducting financial transactions, Capellas said.
"This whole new next-generation of mobility, wireless Internet access and new devices continues to put pressure on moving control to edges of the Web through caching and to create huge volumes on the back end," he added. "The way we've built systems traditionally cannot support this."
While rivals such as Sun have focused on big-iron servers, Compaq is betting successful computer makers must find new ways of delivering content quickly. That means larger servers on the back end supported by a lot of storage and intermediary servers, such as Wildfire, in the middle, plus smaller servers for caching Web content for quick delivery.
Compaq's strategy will encompass all three server lines: ProLiant, running Windows NT, Windows 2000 or Linux; AlphaServer, with OpenVMS, Tru64 Unix or Linux; and Himalayas servers.
Compaq will focus on a "layers of the Web" approach, with content going from big-iron servers on the back end to caching servers at the front. It will emphasize interoperability between different kinds of computers and operating systems.
"The whole way the Web is being deployed is starting to change, and the megatrend is the access devices having more power, caching moving to the edge of the network, and huge server consolidation as demand explodes," Capellas said.

What the Elite Want
Mechanisms of Control
Journalist Jim Marrs made a case for why he believes there is a conspiracy of a handful of elite against the masses. According to Marrs, these elite wish to significantly reduce the number of people on the planet and control the rest. Britain's Prince Philip summed up this attitude when he stated that he wished to reincarnate as a deadly virus in order to reduce the world's population, Marrs noted. To that end, the elite have launched a eugenics attack with genetically modified foods, vaccines, chemtrails, and water fluoridation, he added.
Marrs referenced George Orwell's 1984, which saw the world divided into a few economic blocks or unions. The elite play the blocks against each other for maximum control, while pushing the populace toward an acceptance of a one world government, he explained. They exercise numerous mechanisms of control, including regulations that give banks control over customers' money, fear mongering campaigns on global warming and health care, and the ever-increasing debt crisis. Marrs warned against national (and personal) money borrowing, suggested people prepare for hard times ahead, and lauded the potential economic benefits of America issuing interest-free money.
Marrs listed some frightening affronts to privacy and freedom, specifically identifying the Walmart/Homeland Security snitch program, warrantless vehicle monitoring and searches by police in certain states, the global spy program known as ECHELON, and the very public outcry over airport security scanners. Marrs said former Secretary of Homeland Security, Michael Chertoff, represents Rapiscan -- the company selling the scanners. If they really make people safer in the air, why did TSA turn off the scanners on the busiest travel day of the year, he questioned. He also pointed out that radiation given off by these scanners has been shown to "uncouple your DNA."
Marrs encouraged Americans to pay attention, to see the people behind the scenes looting the country, and to stand firm against being controlled by them. He spoke briefly about the Kennedy assassination, the recent sighting of a mysterious missile off the southern California coast, and the difference between a democracy and a republic as well.
UFO/ET Topics
In the first hour, Michael Luckman, director of the New York Center for Extraterrestrial Research, commented on several UFO/ET related topics, including the promised Wikileaks disclosure, Zecharia Sitchin's theory about humankind's alien ancestry and possible return of the Anunnaki, and NORAD officer Stanley Fulham's prediction of face-to-face communication with ETs in 2014. "There's not even a question anymore that disclosure is right around the corner," Luckman said. He also spoke about his investigation into a supposed landing of a UFO at Holloman AFB, the strange physical changes he witnessed in crystal skulls during a Mayan ceremony, and an upcoming film about an intergalactic 'battle of the bands' called Alien Rock Band.

Ex-cop Saw Nessie... Twice!
Retired police detective Simon Dinsdale, whose father Tim (pictured, left) captured Nessie on film 50 years ago, claims he has seen the elusive creature on two occasions. In a recent interview with the BBC, Dinsdale says his father's film is genuine and shows "a huge animal...

CSU stadium committee offers input
Group provides final recommendations on ways to minimize impacts on surrounding area.
CSU stadium committee offers input Group provides final recommendations on ways to minimize impacts on surrounding area. Check out this story on coloradoan.com: http://noconow.co/1uyZsOR

For the most recent story, including Frank's stadium announcement, click here.
A community advisory committee has recommended Colorado State University lower the physical profile of the proposed on-campus stadium and use state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems that will minimize impact in surrounding neighborhoods.
The Community Design Development Advisory Committee, chaired by former state representative Bob McCluskey, forwarded a list of 26 recommendations Monday, Sept. 22, to CSU President Tony Frank that it says will minimize the impacts the stadium would have on the community and enhance the game-day experience for fans attending events at the proposed $254 million facility.
Frank will announce his decision on whether or not he thinks the university should move forward on the controversial stadium project at the Oct. 2-3 CSU Board of Governors meeting.
The advisory committee recommendations include design revisions to lower the overall height of the stadium from the proposed 117 feet, 6 inches above grade level — roughly 11 stories tall — as well as lowering the height of the scoreboard in the south end zone with a wide-screen display and eliminating the "billboard-like" Rams head logo on the back side of that scoreboard and replacing it with stone or other natural materials to create an architectural feature.
The committee, which met monthly from April through September, also recommends the stadium use a distributed sound system and directed "narrow beam" lighting.
Other recommendations included setting up a pre-paid permitted parking system for all lots that would be utilized on campus, so fans know where they're going to park when they come to games instead of looking around for open spaces. Single-event, non-assigned parking should be located off-campus at sites within walking distance of the stadium or with shuttle service to and from the stadium.
Event-day traffic circulation and parking plans should restrict parking and through-traffic in adjacent neighborhoods and ensure orderly traffic flow of automobiles, bicycles and pedestrians.
The committee also recommended that a "neighborhood ambassador program" be set up to help minimize impacts on the surrounding neighborhoods and that standing committees be set up consisting of representatives from surrounding neighborhoods and the university to address concerns as they arise.

Food, drinks put fun in Loflin Yard

When Loflin Yard opened, a friend's first response was that it reminded him of outdoor venues in France. Just moments later, he looked around and said no, no — it reminded him of Texas. After going back and forth, he pronounced it to be in the style of "France meets Texas."
Works for me, as having a place like Loflin Yard in Downtown Memphis is about as unlikely as French-Texan fusion. It's one of the most laid-back and fun spots in town, and the food and drink help make it so.
Loflin Yard is eight Downtown lots adding up to about an acre, anchored at the northeast corner by the old Loflin Safe & Lock Co., which is where the main bar is. It also houses the kitchen. Most of the cooking is done in an outside kitchen attached to the building, there are a few tables around the bar, and it's where you order food from an outside window.
Walk out the west door onto a patio that overlooks a small waterfall, remnants of Gayoso Bayou, once the source of the city's water. Beyond that is a wide expanse of lawn called the Front Yard, covered in plastic Adirondack chairs, picnic tables and big fans (and heaters will come when the weather demands it). The Coach House, a large event center that houses a much-needed second bar, is on the far side of the lawn. On other side of the Coach House (you can walk right through) is the Back Yard, another large outdoor area bounded by railroad cars.
Bands play on the porch of the Coach House, and so do kids — of all ages. Pick up a guitar and pick away, if you want. Play a game of rings. Run around with your well-behaved dog.
This is, as co-owner Michael Tauer said, Downtown's backyard.
Almost everything comes from the smoky outdoor kitchen, but I haven't tasted anything that was too smoky — something that turns me off. But it's a good time to mention that a good foodie friend, a frequent reviewing partner, finds that the food isn't smoky enough to suit him. This is personal preference, and living in Memphis, you're bound to know how you like your smoke.
Three times I've tried the brisket, and I've been impressed with its tenderness and flavor each time. Pull it with your fingers, eat it with a fork — you don't need a knife. But while I'm a proponent for reasonable portions, I understood the complaints from my dining companions when we received three slices for $14. Let me point out that they were hearty slices, but still. The $17 smoked trout, head and tail removed so that it was about a 5-inch piece of fish, didn't do much to stop their complaining. But it was a lovely piece of fish, stuffed with tarragon and lemon.

The grilled corn, served Mexican street style — on the cob, slathered in mayo with lime, rolled in cotija cheese (similar to Parmesan) — was fabulous, as it tends to be.
And the sausages, made by butcher Aaron Winters at Miss Cordelia's in Harbor Town, were excellent. So were the smoked chicken wings.
Lunch is served Friday through Sunday, and we'll try to arrange for a CA Friday Lunch there. It's po'boys and salads, and we went with one of each. The watermelon salad with feta and arugula will presumably fall from the menu when the weather changes, but the grilled romaine should stay. Both were good though not particularly inspired. The big surprise — we'll get to the po'boys — was the coleslaw made with peanut butter.
I hated it when I was a child and I don't like it now, but I figured I'd try the slaw despite the peanut butter (a plain mayo version is also available). It was sort of a goopy mess, but a delicious one as the PB was seasoned with chilis, cut with acid and had a slightly — just barely — Asian hint to it. Try it.
You sure can't complain about being underfed at lunch. The po'boys are excellent and huge. We order the blackened shrimp and the pork loin, and didn't finish half of either. They were piled high with protein and toppings — rémoulade, lettuce and tomato on the former and braised red cabbage and spicy aioli on the latter. We sat near a fan, but the flies were bad; this should be remedied now that the weather has cooled.
They had me at barrel-aged cocktails. Are you kidding me? Put a Boulevardier in a cask and let it sit a few weeks, and you get my respect. At Loflin, the signature cocktails are right up my alley, prepared with strong spirits, liqueurs and bittersweet amari, those lovely herbaceous digestifs. The way I see it, there are those who love amari and those who will come to love them. Loflin is one of several places in town to get to know new and interesting cocktails, so pull out the menu and take advantage of the opportunity.

Change long overdue
■ Sherif El Ashmawy
The potential of the vast and largely unexploited Algerian market will continue to be dogged by political uncertainty in 2020. If 2019 was the year of change from the leadership of Abdelaziz Bouteflika, 2020 should be the year of change towards a new system of government – or at least a changed political elite. How much difference this will make to foreign investors looking at Algeria remains highly uncertain.
What is certain is that the military will maintain its influence behind the scenes and ensure that political stability and security are maintained. Also certain is that the protest movement, which forced former president Bouteflika to resign in April 2019, will persist in 2020 and will continue to demand a more radical break with the past. This is especially likely if other anti-establishment protest movements continue to proliferate regionally and globally.
Add to these political pressures the significant economic challenges that Algeria faces and the job of a future president looks decidedly difficult. Any incumbent will likely look to improve parts of the country’s regulatory environment to attract urgently needed foreign investment. The ailing oil and gas sector needs a rapid overhaul to boost production levels that have fallen through lack of investment and faced increasing demand from domestic consumption. The government is also keen to curb the fall in foreign currency reserves by encouraging local production and economic diversification to redress the trade deficit.
However, efforts to improve the regulatory environment for foreign investment will be slowed by resistance from the protest movement and from elements of the state bureaucracy where statism and hostility to foreign investments remain entrenched. The persistence of the protest movement will also fuel uncertainty over how long the establishment will tolerate it and whether violence and disruption to commercial activity will eventually increase.

Getting to Know: Vinegars
More than just the yin to oil’s yang in salad dressing, vinegar can help shape a perfect poached egg and save many a dish from terminal blandness.
Distilled White Vinegar
Buy a big jug of this neutral-tasting vinegar; you’ll be turning to it for more than cooking. Made from grain alcohol that’s distilled to produce a colorless liquid with high acidity, this kitchen stalwart doubles as a cleaning agent: Put some in a spray bottle and use it to wash wax, dirt, and chemicals from fruits and vegetables. Add a few tablespoons of vinegar to the water for eggs as they poach to keep the whites from threading.
Red wine usually becomes vinegar in one of two ways: A blob of cellulose and bacteria called a “mother” is added to wine to convert alcohol into acid, or wine and bacteria are combined in a machine that “aerates” them to feed the bacteria. Our favorite, Laurent du Clos Red Wine Vinegar, has a “clean, light, pleasant taste,” according to our tasters, and a subtle sharpness that goes well in vinaigrettes.
Crisp and acidic, with “subtle sweetness” and “lemony” flavors, white wine vinegar is what we use to brighten pan sauces for chicken and fish. We also turn to it in potato salad: Tossing hot potatoes in white wine vinegar is how we infuse our Dill Potato Salad with deep flavor (see related content). Our favorites are Colavita Aged White Wine Vinegar and Spectrum Naturals Organic White Wine Vinegar.
Fruity and balanced, apple cider vinegar has been popular in the United States since colonial times; this vinegar is made from hard apple cider, a popular drink in that era. We use it every day in the test kitchen. Our favorite is Spectrum Naturals Organic Apple Cider Vinegar, Unfiltered; that it’s unfiltered contributes to its “distinct apple flavor” and gives it an “assertive, tangy” quality.
Traditional balsamic vinegar from Italy’s Modena and Emilia-Romagna regions is aged in wooden barrels for years until the vinegar is sweet, syrupy, and expensive— up to $60 per ounce. Many cheaper versions bypass the aging and instead add colors or sweeteners; the price tag is lower but so is the quality. Our favorite supermarket balsamic vinegar—Lucini Gran Riserva Balsamico—contains no added sugars or colors. We like its “great complexity” and subtle acidity.
Sherry vinegar is made from sherry, a fortified wine. True Vinagre de Jerez, made in a small area of Spain, is aged for at least two years in oak barrels. Many sherry vinegars stocked in supermarkets are lesser-quality knockoffs. Sherry vinegar’s flavors are “warm” and “toasty,” with a “brown-sugary” sweetness. Use it to brighten pan sauces or to echo Spanish flavors in our Roasted Cauliflower with Paprika and Chorizo (see related content).
Made from fermented malted barley— basically, unhopped beer—malt is a bit aggressive for most vinaigrettes. But when it comes to cutting through the oil of fried fish and chips and adding an intense, flavorful punch, there’s nothing like it. We love its “savory,” “beefy” flavor in our Roasted Salt-and-Vinegar Potatoes (see related content), but it’s not just for spuds. It’s also the foundation of many chutneys and sauces.
Primarily used to season sushi rice, rice vinegar plays a role in stir-fries and satays, too. It’s also called rice wine vinegar, but don’t confuse it with rice wine. Rice vinegar is made from steamed rice that’s blended with yeast and fermented into alcohol before being aerated to form vinegar. This vinegar has a characteristic “malty” sweetness and mild acidity. You can buy it seasoned or unseasoned; we prefer unseasoned because it’s more versatile.
Chinese Black Vinegar
Originating in China’s Zhejiang province, black vinegar is made from sorghum, wheat, rice, or millet—sometimes in combination—and aged to develop its complex flavor. The flavors are hard to pin down, but our tasters suggested “woodsy” and “earthy,” with hints of “warm spice” and herbs like tarragon. Balsamic or malt vinegars are good substitutes, though both lack black vinegar’s complexity. Use black vinegar in dipping sauces and for braising meat.
Champagne Vinegar
This vinegar is made from the fermented juice of champagne grapes before second fermentation (the cause of the bubbles) occurs. The resulting vinegar has a “clean,” “mineral-y” flavor that’s usually more delicate than that of white wine vinegar (although our tasters had a hard time telling the difference). Champagne vinegar’s light body and crispness make it a good base for fruit and herb vinegars. Splash it on vegetables or mix it with shallots in a mignonette sauce for oysters.
Fruit Vinegar
Raspberry vinegar has all but vanished from the cupboards of culinary trendsetters, but we think that the pairing of sweet fruit with acidic vinegar is timeless. True fruit vinegars are made by fermenting fruit juice into wine and then letting it mingle with acid. Some fruit-flavored vinegars take a shortcut, infusing red wine, white wine, or champagne vinegars with macerated fruit or fruit purees. Use fruit vinegars in vinaigrettes or drizzled over grilled fruit.
Herb Vinegar
Unlike the other vinegars in this roundup, herb vinegars are infusions. Highly aromatic herbs like tarragon, sage, rosemary, or basil are added to warm (but not boiling) light-flavored vinegars, which are then set aside to steep for three to four weeks before the herbs are discarded. Figure on infusing every 2 cups of vinegar with about 1 cup of fresh herbs. Herb vinegars can add a fresh flavor to salad dressings and marinades and are a great way to use up extra herbs.

Dan Belt Ranks
The Cuong Nhu colored belts and stripes denote the level and accomplishments of the wearer. According to tradition, the progression of belt colors represents the life cycle of a tree.
O Sensei Ngo Dong, Founder of Cuong Nhu—whose name in Vietnamese means Tallest Tree—used to share this analogy with his students:
SHODAN (1st degree)
One red stripe on a black belt is symbolic of the tree in spring that flowers and begins to produce fruit. Through teaching the art, the Cuong Nhu sensei reaches out to others, learns new lessons from the exchange, and begins to give back to the community.
NIDAN (2nd degree)
Each year, the cycle of blossom and fruit is renewed, signified by two red stripes on the black belt. As black belt instructors continue to teach and train, their efforts bear fruit not only through their students, but also in the development of their own character.
SANDAN (3rd degree)
As the cycle is renewed yet again, the tree, now with deeper roots and broader branches, produces finer, more abundant fruit, represented by three red stripes on a black belt. The sensei, through years of training and close work with others, learns more deeply what it means to serve the people through martial arts, and becomes a better teacher and role model by applying the Three O’s Principle: Open Mind, Open Heart, Open Arms.
YONDAN (4th degree)
A tree at this stage has produced fruit that will in turn produce fruit of its own, signified by four red stripes on a black belt. The Cuong Nhu sensei, whose students may now have students of their own, is humbled by this responsibility, and redoubles efforts to maintain excellence in technique and character. He or she becomes a genuine leader and role model for all martial artists, showing the qualities of self-confidence, self-control, modesty, and a non-defeatist attitude.
GODAN (5th degree)
The sensei at this stage wears a solid longitudinal red and black belt, in the colors of the Cuong Nhu emblem, representing the balance of yin and yang. A tree that has survived to this age has done so through a balance of strength and flexibility, withstanding the elements while bending when necessary to survive. Similarly, the Cuong Nhu sensei has achieved a balance of hard and soft, head and heart, confidence and humility, and can adapt to work with friend and foe alike—a true representative of the art.
ROKUDAN (6th degree)
The Cuong Nhu rokudan has earned the honor of being called "Master," and wears a solid black belt bordered in red, with six gold stripes. The stripes can be seen to represent the rings of a tree, with the gold color hinting of autumn—both signifying age and experience. The gold also recalls the roots of Cuong Nhu, in the color of the Vietnamese flag. Like a venerable old tree that provides food, shelter and shade to the forest community, the Master provides a role model, inspiration, and guidance to the entire Cuong Nhu community.
SHICHIDAN (7th degree)
Among Masters, a very few are elevated to shichidan, in recognition of their lifelong dedication, contributions, and leadership in Cuong Nhu. They are awarded a red belt with black and gold borders, personalized with black calligraphy spelling out the wearer’s rank and name. To be named is a special honor, but also a reminder of humility and the cycle of life; it is, after all, the same name that was used by the white belt “seed” who first set out to become a tree.

Maltese desalination test-bed shows SalTec energy-recovery advantages
Throughout the desalination industry, plant operators are looking for long-term solutions with lower lifecycle cost because of the link between water costs and energy costs. In order to meet operators' demands and requirements, equipment manufacturers are investing considerable resources in the development of new technologies that will reduce energy costs. The Water Services Corporation in Malta is one example of a forward-looking operator of a seawater reverse-osmosis (SWRO) plant seeking to ensure the production of high-quality drinking water at an affordable price. Established in 1993 to produce and distribute potable water on the islands of Malta and Gozo, WSC has an annual production target of 35 million m to satisfy the needs of its 400,000 residents and in excess of one million tourists. With the drive to produce greater efficiencies and water quality WSC has taken an opportunity to investigate and monitor the potential of a new technology from KSB, the SalTec pressure boosting and energy recovery system. The SalTec DT pressure exchanger in combination with KSB's HGM RO high-pressure pump creates a highly attractive proposition for RO plant designers and operators. The SalTec DT system provides a nominal capacity of 250 m /h, giving it the capability to operate in plants with train sizes ranging between 4,400 m /d and 5,000 m /d of permeate at common recovery rates.

Star Wars Legion: Count Dooku (Clone Wars)
Faction: Separatist Alliance
While much of the galaxy knows him as the Separatist Alliance's Head of State, Count Dooku serves a more sinister purpose in the Clone Wars. Actually a powerful Sith lord, Dooku works behind the scenes to bring down the Jedi and destroy the Republic once and for all. As the rare Separatist unit powerful in the Force, he takes to the battles of the Clone Wars ready to show off his skills to any bold enough to challenge him.
All miniatures are supplied unpainted. Image © Fantasy Flight Games
Dooku's hatred of the Jedi fuels him on the battlefield and he unleashes his anger on opponents with a particularly elegant and aggressive style of lightsaber combat. But Count Dooku never lets his anger control him. Instead, he is a cunning commander who baits his opponents into making grave mistakes before cutting them down. Whether attacking with his lightsaber and Force lightning or directing his forces in battle, Dooku will find his enemy's weakness and ruthlessly exploit them to great effect.
Within the Count Dooku Commander Expansion, you'll find one unpainted and finely detailed Count Dooku miniature challenging all comers with his lightsaber. Additionally, four upgrade cards let you explore the depths of Dooku's Force powers, while three command cards invite you to make him a central piece of your army's strategy.

Park link road 'consultation' claim scotched
Darlington park link road 'consultation' claim scotched
By Stuart Minting Local Democracy Reporter
Traffic concerns on Barmpton Lane North Piucture: Google
A ROW has erupted as a council denied launching a public consultation exercise over a controversial proposal to build a road through a park to improve access to a planned garden village.
A meeting of Darlington Borough Council’s cabinet heard numerous residents believed a public drop-in session at Whessoe Parish Hall on Thursday, from 3pm to 6.30pm, was inadequate to enable residents to understand the findings of a study showing how traffic patterns might change if the Springfield Park road to the Skerningham development was removed from the Local Plan.
Skerningham is one of a number of planned sites for housing in the borough and could see up to 1,800 houses built before 2036. There is also an aspiration to build thousands more houses in the area after 2036.
The study concluded while the Springfield Park access to the Skerningham estate was not critical to the development, initial findings showed it would be “very beneficial”, particularly before the new distributor road network is completed around 2030. It found by 2025, without the access road there would be “significant traffic numbers” added onto existing local roads.
The study found Whinbush Way alone would carry an extra 4,094 vehicles a day and Barmpton Lane North an extra 2,976 vehicles per day. Additional traffic on A1150 would make access from side streets more difficult in peak times, leading to significant queuing at Stockton Road and Whinbush Way junctions.
With the access road, the Springfield link road would carry 6,021 vehicles a day, Whinbush Way an extra 1,832 vehicles per day and Barmpton Lane North an extra 1,755 vehicles a day.
Opposition leader Councillor Stephen Harker said consultations needed to enable residents to respond and residents had been asked to state at the drop-in event and in an online survey if they were in favour of the link road and if it should run alongside the edge of the park, minimising its impact on the park.
The Labour councillor said by saying feedback from the event and online questionnaire would be considered when members make the decision the council had created a consultation.
The authority’s economy portfolio holder Councillor Alan Marshall replied: “This is not a consultation process. This is an information-sharing process. All the information they are going to see on Thursday is on the council’s website. There’s a total misunderstanding here. We have said all along we want to be as fair and open with our residents as we can. We didn’t have to do this.”
Cllr Harker then accused the Tory administration of being “disingenuous”. Cllr Marshall replied the council had described the exercise as “an engagement”. He said: “At no time in any of the information that has been sent out to residents, parish councils, members have we ever said ‘consultation’. The consultation on the Local Plan and about Springfield Park was done a long time ago.”
After the meeting, Cllr Harker said: “The obvious question is why for a council that keeps saying it will consult as much as possible, why are they only ‘information sharing’ on this matter? There is little if anything on the council website promoting this event. Why are the Tories being so secretive about the impact of not building the road across Springfield Park?”

Rooftop hangar by TDO provides launchpad for James Bridle's surveillance balloon
Amy Frearson | 12 July 2014 1 comment
Artist James Bridle has teamed up with architecture studio TDO to build a rooftop hangar on a south London car park, from which a military surveillance balloon makes a daily flight to snoop on the area (+ movie).
Loaded with an assortment of cameras, transmitters and tracking devices, the balloon monitors its surroundings, but instead of feeding information to a private organisation, the findings are shared with the public over the internet.
Drone Shadows by James Bridle evoke the presence of unmanned aircraft
"It feels like surveillance footage, but what I'm trying to do with the project is open that up and give it to all people," explained James Bridle, whose work regularly explores alternative applications of technology.
Named The Right to Flight, the project takes place on the rooftop of a disused multi-storey car park in Peckham, better known as the summertime venue of Frank's Cafe.
Here, Bridle worked with south London studio TDO to design a trio of cylindrical structures, providing a technical workshop, a public exhibition space and a rooftop hangar from which the inflatable will be launched.
Delivered with help from structural engineer Lyons O'Niell, these structures are clad with corrugated metal, referencing industrial warehouses, aircraft hangars and various temporary structures.
"Inspired by James' work and his interests in appropriating existing technologies, we investigated how to achieve large and quickly deployable structures from which a balloon could be launched," explained Doug Hodgson, one of TDO's three co-founders.
The three cylinders frame a outdoor platform, where visitors can observe the launches whilst also taking in the London skyline.
"It's a really key part of the project that these structures feel very open and very accessible to people," said Bridle.
Over the course of the installation, which runs from June until September, the balloon will be launched daily with different types of electronic cargo and the public will be able to make their own suggestions.
Examples include an aerial camera, which Bridle is using to develop a series of abstract films. There is also a hacked Wi-Fi router, a darknet message board and a ham radio transmitter.
The artist named the project after a quote from 19th-century photographer and balloonist Nadar, who proclaimed that mankind had a right, even a duty, to ascend to the heavens, and who became the first person in history to produce aerial photography.
"The Right to Flight will investigate ways to return the powers of surveillance and omniscience to the surveilled, and attempt to rediscover Nadar's utopias in the possibilities of contemporary technologies, while making its own claim on London's increasingly crowded skyline," he said.
The installation is open until 21 September as part of the Bold Tendencies art programme.
Photography and movie are by Ben Blossom.

Employment Law Now Podcast:
In this episode Mike is joined by Kelly Trindel, Ph.D of Pymetrics to talk about the use of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science in the employment recruitment process, and whether machines will be replacing us.
Labor and employment is a constantly changing practice area governed by a profusion of interrelated federal, state, and local laws and regulations. Cozen O’Connor has a dedicated team of labor and employment lawyers who focus on keeping clients informed and protected.
Our full-service labor and employment department represents a broad range of entities: exchange-listed companies, private enterprises, nonprofits, governments and trade associations. We handle high-stakes employment litigation, including individual and class claims of discrimination, harassment, wage and hour violations, defamation, non-compete violations, and wrongful discharge. We appear regularly before federal and state courts, agencies and departments (such as the EEOC, NLRB, DOL, IRS, OSHA, and ICE), and arbitrators. We also handle traditional labor law matters, helping employers foster positive workplace relations, negotiate collective bargaining agreements, and handle labor arbitrations and unfair labor practice proceedings.
When a specific labor or employment issue arises, clients immediately face the competing goals of vigorously refuting accusations or adverse precedents, and restoring a sense of calm and unity of purpose to the workplace. Cozen O’Connor attorneys guide clients through these complex situations and enable them to take decisive action without compromising operational effectiveness. We are keenly aware that the legal response must operate in harmony with the business goals.
One of our greatest assets in this endeavor is the depth of our trial and courtroom experience. We have dozens of lead attorneys who routinely appear in court, agency and arbitration proceedings, giving us tremendous insight into how a case is likely to play out in a litigation setting. That hard-earned knowledge serves our clients well as we partner with them to decide upon a strategic approach.

Defend clients against individual or class (collective) action lawsuits
Represent employers in suits alleging discrimination and harassment on the basis of age, race, religion, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, disability, and other areas protected under federal, state and local law
Represent employers in cases involving defamation, invasion of privacy, trade secrets and noncompetition agreements, duty-of-loyalty claims, equal-pay disputes, employment benefits disputes, pension and benefit plan fiduciary liability, wage-and-hour claims, whistle-blowers, and wrongful-discharge claims

Employer Advising, Training and Investigations
Assist in the resolution of individual workplace problems

Defend employers against charges of unfair labor practices, including those alleging unlawful termination, failure to bargain in good faith, and interference with employee rights
Our clients operate in diverse industries, including:
Our labor and employment department is made up of outstanding practitioners with years of experience. Our attorneys have been commended by independent legal observers for their “outstanding client service” and identified as some of the “most prominent employment defense attorneys” in the country. The team includes fellows of the College of Labor and Employment Lawyers and fellows of the American College of Trial Lawyers. Members of our team are regularly recognized by leading publications such as Chambers USA, Best Lawyers, Super Lawyers, and others. Most recently, two senior members of the department were recognized among "The Nation's Top 100 Most Powerful Employment Attorneys" by Human Resource Executive magazine.
As many large law firms trim their labor and employment practices and once-small boutiques expand into national litigation factories, Cozen O’Connor is steadfast in its conviction that the most sophisticated labor and employment matters are best served by practitioners operating within a full-service firm. Our labor and employment attorneys work closely with their colleagues in corporate, tax, M&A, real estate, and antitrust law to see all sides of an issue and provide comprehensive analyses. In addition, Cozen O’Connor attorneys do not churn out canned solutions to generic problems. Our clients demand tailored, timely advice that is informed by a genuine understanding of their business – and that’s what we provide.

The justices will try to answer these questions in Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Abercrombie & Fitch Stores.

The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) has announced a proposed rule on pay transparency, to be published in the September 17, 2014 Federal Register. The proposed rule would implement Executive Order 13665, which prohibits federal contractors from retaliating against applicants and employees for inquiring about, disclosing or discussing pay information. The proposed rule applies to covered federal contracts and subcontracts exceeding $10,000 in value that are entered into or modified on or after the effective date of the final rule. While the proposed rule could change before it is finalized, it is time for federal contractors to consider their policies and practices on pay information.

Specifically, California employees will accrue one hour of paid sick leave for every 30 hours worked, up to a total of six paid sick days per year. Because it establishes leave based on the amount of hours worked, the law will cover part-time, temporary and seasonal workers.

New Jersey Becomes Latest State to “Ban the Box” [Labor & Employment Alert]
On August 11, 2014, Governor Chris Christie signed into law the Opportunity to Compete Act, New Jersey’s version of “ban the box.” When the law takes effect on March 1, 2015, companies who employ 15 or more employees will be prohibited from inquiring orally or on a job application about a job applicant’s criminal history until after the employer conducts a first interview. The Act will also prohibit employers from posting job advertisements that exclude applicants with criminal histories from consideration. Employers will be permitted to inquire about an applicant’s criminal history after the first interview. Moreover, employers may still refuse to hire an applicant based upon the applicant’s criminal record, unless that record has been expunged or erased through executive pardon.
Obama Issues Executive Order Scrutinizing Labor Practices of Federal Contractors [Labor & Employment Alert]
President Obama does it again, issuing yet another Executive Order aimed at those seeking to do business with the federal government. On July 31, 2014, Obama issued the Fair Pay and Safe Workplaces Executive Order, which the White House expects to be implemented in stages on new federal contracts valued at more than $500,000, beginning in 2016. This new Executive Order targets three areas: (1) disclosure to the federal government of a prospective contractor’s labor law violations over the three years preceding the contract; (2) disclosure of information necessary for the employees of federal contractors and subcontractors to verify the accuracy of their paychecks; and (3) for those federal contracts or subcontracts with an estimated value exceeding $1 million, a prohibition against the imposition of pre-dispute arbitration agreements covering claims under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended (Title VII), or for torts related to or arising out of sexual assault or harassment.
New Employment Protections for LGBT Employees of Federal Contractors, U.S. Government [Labor & Employment Alert]
Continuing to use executive authority to act in the absence of Congressional action, President Obama signed an Executive Order on July 21, 2014 that gave new protections against discrimination to lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) employees of federal contractors and subcontractors, and the federal government. (For the federal government, discrimination was already prohibited on the basis of sexual orientation and is now also prohibited on the basis of gender identity.) The new rules relating to federal contractors won’t be effective until additional regulations are issued in the next three to nine months, but the rules relating to employment by the federal government are effective immediately.

In an article published in The Legal Intelligencer, Stephen Miller and Kaitlin DiNapoli, attorneys in Cozen O’Connor’s Litigation Department, discuss the U.S. Supreme Court’s exploration of two Fair Labor Standards Act cases that have far-reaching consequences for employers, since back pay, overtime and double damages for employees are on the line. The cases involve the compensability of certain activities—donning and doffing protective gear in the case decided in January and going through a security screen in the new case—that employees must complete to perform their jobs, but are not necessarily the crux of the jobs themselves.
The Supreme Court’s Hobby Lobby Decision Carries Broad Implications for Employers [Labor & Employment Alert]
The U.S. Supreme Court this week issued its long-awaited decision in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc., regarding the ability of for-profit corporations to refuse to abide by regulations that require them to provide cost-free contraception to their female employees. The Court ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby, holding that the regulations imposing the contraception mandate of the Affordable Care Act violated another federal law, the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA). Although the Court seemed to emphasize the limited nature of its holding, this case has broad implications for all corporations and all types of government regulations.

First and Ten: Will College Athletes Be the Next Wave of Unionization? [Labor & Employment Alert]
Everyone recognizes that college athletics are big business for the schools, but do they exploit the student athletes under the guise of amateurism? Thanks to a new decision out of the Chicago office of the National Labor Relations Board, we will likely find out if scholarship athletes will be treated as employees with the right to unionize under the National Labor Relations Act. On March 26, 2014, the NLRB regional director concluded that the scholarship recipients on the Northwestern University football team are employees and ordered an election to determine if they desire union representation.
President Obama Orders the Department of Labor to Modernize Overtime Rules [Labor & Employment Alert]
In a White House ceremony on Thursday, March 13, 2014, President Barack Obama signed a memorandum ordering the Secretary of Labor to “propose revisions to modernize and streamline the existing overtime regulations” governing the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). Although the president did not direct specific changes, he clearly stated that the goal of any regulatory changes would be to make more workers eligible for overtime pay under federal law. The president’s directive is expected to lead to proposed rules that would require employers to pay overtime to millions of workers who are currently classified as exempt employees.

Supreme Court Holds That Items of Protective Clothing Are ‘Clothes’ For Purposes of the FLSA [Labor & Employment Alert]
The U.S. Supreme Court yesterday released its much-anticipated decision in the case of Sandifer v. United States Steel Corporation, and held that Section 203(o) of the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) — which allows parties to a collective bargaining agreement to decide for themselves through negotiations whether “time spent in changing clothes … at the beginning or end of each workday” is compensable — applies to articles of protective clothing such as flame-retardant jackets, pants, hoods, snoods, wristlets, leggings, hardhats, work gloves and steel-toed boots.
New Jersey Now Requires Employers to Provide Reasonable Accommodations for Pregnant Employees [Labor & Employment Alert]
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie signed into law last week a bill that specifically adds pregnancy to the New Jersey Law Against Discrimination (NJ LAD) and requires employers to offer reasonable accommodations to pregnant employees who request accommodation. The new law, which was passed unanimously by the state Senate and with just one dissenting vote in the state Assembly, makes several major changes to existing law. Employers should be mindful of this new law because it strengthens the already tough NJ LAD and goes farther than the federal Pregnancy Discrimination Act.

More Regulation: The OFCCP Sets Its Sights on Veterans and Individuals with Disabilities [AHLA Labor & Employment Newsletter]
The Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) has stepped up its efforts in recent years to assert jurisdiction over more health care providers. As a result, a growing number of health care providers are struggling to comply with OFCCP's many regulatory requirements, while others are warily watching developments in this area. Now, federal contractors are faced with new regulations principally aimed at increasing employment opportunities for veterans and individuals with disabilities. These regulations, which cover an estimated 200,000 federal contractor establishments, become effective March 24, 2014, and require contractors to make additional, significant recruitment and outreach efforts to these groups.
The haze has not lifted: Medical marijuana continues to confound employers [Retailing Today]
So far 20 states and the District of Columbia have enacted laws permitting and regulating the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes. Colorado and Washington have gone further and legalized the recreational use of marijuana. Moreover, Americans’ tolerance for the legalization of marijuana is increasing. An October 2013 Gallup poll showed that 58% of Americans favor legalizing marijuana. What does this trend mean for retailers, especially those operating in multiple states? The answer is complex, as the law is evolving.
Why Employers Shouldn't Ignore Workplace Bullying [The Legal Intelligencer]
Many associate bullying with kids and schools. State laws, educational awareness campaigns and all-too-frequent tragedies focus our attention on the problem of school bullying. Much less attention is paid to workplace bullying. In fact, in telling my school-age child that there are bullies at some workplaces, her response was: “There are no bullies at work. It is just people complaining.” This misconception is common, and unfortunately extends to many employers. As a result, many employers don’t see the need to take a proactive stance against workplace bullying. Even employers who acknowledge the prevalence of bullying in the workplace often see no need to act because currently there are no federal or state laws that expressly make workplace bullying illegal. This inaction, however, can translate into missed opportunities and increased costs.
Two New Measures in New York: Wage Deduction Rules and Pregnancy Accommodation
Most employers tend to focus on federal law as a source of labor and employment obligations. However, employers should also pay careful attention to state and local laws on workplace issues. The first half of this month has already seen two significant developments in New York.
Love Conquers All [Today's General Counsel]
What could be better than new love, except perhaps secret new love? Few in the throes of budding romance are willing to acknowledge the possibility that what is sweet now might sour later, let alone eventuate in a lawsuit. But when the romance in question is between co-workers, and especially where there is a supervisory relationship involved, the company hosting their courtship should take protective measures once the relationship comes to light. Otherwise, what began as an innocent (or not-so-innocent) dalliance could end in a nasty and costly lawsuit.
Changes to New Jersey’s Unemployment Insurance Law Penalize Nonresponsive Employers [Labor & Employment Alert]
New Jersey has joined a growing list of states enacting changes to their unemployment insurance laws to comply with an upcoming federal deadline. Starting October 22, 2013, New Jersey will refuse to relieve an employer’s account of charges for erroneous benefit payments if (1) the payments were made because the employer failed to timely respond to requests for information from the New Jersey Division of Labor and Workforce Development, and (2) the employer has a pattern of failing to respond to such requests.
Harassment Concerns and Effective Policies for Hotel Employers [Hotel Executive]
The scene is not uncommon, a beautiful hotel with several floors of luxurious rooms, restaurants and bars, and cascading waterfalls out at the pool. It is not your typical office, yet it is critical that hotel employers understand that the men and women who work in this setting are employees and that the hotel is a workplace. So, as informal, perhaps even as romantic, as the scene may be, employment laws proscribing harassment in the workplace apply in hotels as equally as they do in a medical practice, a law firm or an insurance brokerage house.
Leaving the Door Open to Departing Employees [The Legal Intelligencer]
Remember that group of employees laid off a few months ago? One has applied for a new job opening and was not rehired. Now that employee is claiming that the company has engaged in unlawful, discriminatory action in failing to rehire her. This scenario is all too real. Indeed, Gonzalez v. Molded Acoustical Products of Easton, 118 FEP Cases 877 (E.D. Pa. 2013), a recent case out of the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, should remind employers of the risk exposure associated with hiring for positions that were previously impacted by reductions-in-force.
Supreme Court Decision Upholding Class Action Waivers is Good for Employers [Labor & Employment Alert]
On June 20, 2013, in a 5-3 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Federal Arbitration Act (FAA) does not permit courts to invalidate a contractual waiver of class arbitration on the ground that the plaintiff’s cost of individually arbitrating a federal statutory claim exceeds the potential recovery.
Obama Administration 2.0: What’s at Stake for Employers [Profiles in Diversity Journal]
During Barack Obama’s first term as president, most of his pro-employee legislative agenda was stymied by Congress. Undeterred, the Obama Administration turned to administrative agencies such as the Department of Labor, National Labor Relations Board, and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission to move forward its workplace agenda. The stakes continue to be high for employers during President Obama’s second term, particularly in the diversity-focused areas of equal employment opportunity and immigration.
Hospitals Providing Medical Care to Federal Employees Covered by HMOs May Be Subject to OFCCP's Affirmative Action and Other Requirements [Labor and Employment Alert]
Over the years, the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), which enforces affirmative action and equal opportunity regulations for federal contractors and subcontractors, has tried to assert jurisdiction over hospitals that provide medical care to federal employees in various controversial ways. For example, OFCCP has claimed hospitals are federal subcontractors when they provide medical services to Blue Cross/Blue Shield and/or HMO policyholders pursuant to the insurance providers’ agreements with the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia just gave the green light to OFCCP to assert its jurisdiction over hospitals, at least where HMOs covering federal employees are involved.

Five Key Areas to Watch During Obama’s Second Term [HR Morning]
One of Barack Obama’s first actions when he became president was to sign the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act of 2009, resetting the statute of limitations each paycheck for equal-pay gender discrimination lawsuits and making it easier for employees to pursue them.
New York City Employers Cannot Discriminate Based on Unemployment Status As of June 11, 2013 [Labor & Employment Alert]
The New York City Council continues to grow the chasm that exists between New York City employment law and its state and federal counterparts. Specifically, on March 13, 2013, the council overwhelmingly enacted (by a 43-4 vote) a local law that precludes employers and employment agencies from refusing to consider or hire an applicant because he or she is unemployed, and from posting advertisements that require job applicants to be employed. This comes less than a month after New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg initially vetoed the legislation, which now is set to become effective on June 11, 2013.
New Employment Eligibility Verification Form, Form I-9, Issued by USCIS [Labor and Employment Alert]
On March 8, 2013, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued a new Employment Eligibility Verification Form, Form I-9, and a revised Handbook for Employers, M-274. The main changes to the new Form are that it contains further instructions on how to complete the Form I-9 and also expands the Form itself to two pages. Employers should review the revised Handbook and may begin using the new Form I-9 immediately both for new hires and for work authorization reverification. USCIS is allowing employers two months to transition to the new Form I-9, but beginning on May 7, 2013, employers must use the new Form I-9. Employers do not need to complete a new Form I-9 for current employees with a proper I-9 on file.
OFCCP Rescinds Its 2006 Compensation Standards in Favor of More Flexible Approach to Pay Discrimination Compliance Evaluations [Labor and Employment Alert]
Effective February 28, 2013, the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) rescinded its much criticized 2006 Compensation Standards and Voluntary Guidelines (Compensation Standards) utilized in pay discrimination compliance evaluations of federal contractors.

What to Do When an HR Employee Sues [Workforce Management]
What to Do When an HR Employee Sues - Workforce Management - When an HR staffer alleges employment discrimination, it’s automatically a different kind of claim. Here’s how to proceed when the claimant is someone who is likely to know damaging,
embarrassing or unflattering information about the company—and might be willing to use it to
bolster a case. It’s not all bad news, however. Sometimes it’s easier to deal with an HR claimant.a

Chemo Facts
Published by Dr. Rath Health Foundation at October 2, 2017
Facts on Drugs Used in Chemotherapy
Oncology drugs are the largest business sector of the trillion-dollar a year global pharmaceutical industry. The drugs used in chemotherapy kill cancer cells – but they also kill healthy cells too. That fact alone is bad enough, but it doesn’t stop there. Chemotherapy drugs also have side-effects, and many cause new cancers and new diseases. This leads to the use of yet more drugs, which in turn cause further side effects. It’s a vicious circle and a license to print money for the pharmaceutical industry.
What interest can the pharmaceutical industry possibly have in trying to prevent cancer if it earns revenues of around $80 billion a year from keeping it existing? The only reason that cancer remains a death verdict is the billions of dollars that drug companies make each year from selling chemotherapy drugs.
The information on these webpages contains extracts from the official "patient information leaflets" for chemotherapy drugs, as published by the drug manufacturers themselves.
The drugs marked with a * are listed in the “13th Report on Carcinogens” of the US National Toxicology Program as "cancerogenic", i.e. cancer-causing. In other words, the drugs prescribed to millions of cancer patients as a cure are, in fact, known to cause cancer.
Adriamycin *
Active substance: Doxorubicin
Manufacturer: Teva Pharmaceuticals
Extract from the prescribing information:
"Myocardial toxicity manifested in its most severe form by potentially fatal congestive heart failure may occur either during therapy or months to years after termination of therapy."
"Secondary acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) has been reported in patients treated with anthracyclines, including doxorubicin."
The above has been extracted from the Adriamycin prescribing information on the Teva webpages.
Alkeran *
Active substance: Melphalan
Manufacturer: GlaxoSmithKline
"Secondary malignancies, including acute nonlymphocytic leukemia, myeloproliferative syndrome, and carcinoma, have been reported in patients with cancer treated with alkylating agents (including Melphalan). "
"Patients should be informed that the major acute toxicities of melphalan are related to bone marrow suppression, hypersensitivity reactions, gastrointestinal toxicity, and pulmonary toxicity."
"Patients should never be allowed to take the drug without close medical supervision"
The above has been extracted from the Alkeran prescribing information on the GSK webpages.
Amsa PD
Active substance: Amsacrine
Manufacturer: Parke-Davis
"With intravenous administration, AMSA PD (base) had toxic effects on the liver, kidney, lymphoid tissue, bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract, and central nervous system."

The above has been extracted from the Hexalen prescribing information on the MGI Pharma webpages.
Hycamtin
Active substance: Topotecan
"Bone marrow suppression (primarily neutropenia) is the dose-limiting toxicity of HYCAMTIN."
"Carcinogenicity testing of topotecan has not been performed. Topotecan, however, is known to be genotoxic to mammalian cells and is a probable carcinogen."
The above has been extracted from the Hycamtin prescribing information on the GlaxoSmithKline webpages.
Idamycin
Active substance: Idarubicin
"As is the case with other anthracyclines the use of IDAMYCIN can cause myocardial toxicity leading to congestive heart failure. Cardiac toxicity is more common in patients who have received prior anthracyclines or who have preexisting cardiac disease."
"IDAMYCIN is a potent bone marrow suppressant. IDAMYCIN should not be given to patients with pre-existing bone marrow suppression induced by previous drug therapy or radiotherapy unless the benefit warrants the risk."

The above has been extracted from the Mustargen prescribing information on the Merck webpages.
Mutamycin
Active substance: Mitomycin
"This was the most common and most serious toxicity, occurring in 605 of 937 patients (64.4%). Thrombocytopenia and/or leukopenia may occur anytime within 8 weeks after onset of therapy with an average time of 4 weeks."
"Patients should be advised of the potential toxicity of this drug, particularly bone marrow suppression. Deaths have been reported due to septicemia as a result of leukopenia due to the drug."
The above has been extracted from the Mutamycin prescribing information on the Bristol-Myers Squibb webpages.
Myleran *
"The most frequent, serious side effect of treatment with busulfan is the induction of bone marrow failure (which may or may not be anatomically hypoplastic) resulting in severe pancytopenia. The pancytopenia caused by busulfan may be more prolonged than that induced with other alkylating agents."
"Malignant tumors and acute leukemias have been reported in patients who have received busulfan therapy, and this drug may be a human carcinogen. The World Health Organization has concluded that there is a causal relationship between busulfan exposure and the development of secondary malignancies."

The above has been extracted from the Navelbine prescribing information on the Pierre Fabre Pharmaceuticals webpages.
Purinethol
Active substance: Mercaptopurine
"The most consistent, dose-related toxicity is bone marrow suppression. This may be manifest by anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia, or any combination of these. Any of these findings may also reflect progression of the underlying disease."
"Mercaptopurine is hepatotoxic in animals and humans. A small number of deaths have been reported that may have been attributed to hepatic necrosis due to administration of mercaptopurine."
"Mercaptopurine causes chromosomal aberrations in animals and humans and induces dominant-lethal mutations in male mice."
The above has been extracted from the Purinethol prescribing information on the GlaxoSmithKline webpages.
Rituxan (USA) / Mabthera (Worldwide)
Active substance: Rituximab
"Rituxan administration can result in serious, including fatal infusion reactions. Deaths within 24 hours of Rituxan infusion have occurred. Approximately 80% of fatal infusion reactions occurred in association with the first infusion."

The above has been extracted from the Temodar prescribing information on the Schering-Plough webpages.
Thiotepa *
Active substance: Triethylenethiophosphoramide
"Death has occurred after intravesical administration, caused by bone-marrow depression from systematically absorbed drug."
"Death from septicemia and hemorrhage has occurred as a direct result of hematopoietic depression by thiotepa."
"Thiotepa is highly toxic to the hematopoietic system. A rapidly falling white blood cell or platelet count indicates the necessity for discontinuing or reducing the dosage of thiotepa."
"Like many alkylating agents, thiotepa has been reported to be carcinogenic when administered to laboratory animals. Carcinogenicity is shown most clearly in studies using mice, but there is some evidence of carcinogenicity in man. In patients treated with thiotepa, cases of myelodysplastic syndromes and acute non-lymphocytic leukemia have been reported."
The above has been extracted from the Thiotepa prescribing information on the Bedford Laboratories webpages.
Active substance: Vinblastine sulfate
"Aspermia has been reported in man. Animal studies suggest that teratogenic effects may occur."
"Patients treated for Hodgkin’s disease have developed leukemia following radiation therapy and administration of vinblastine sulfate in combination with other chemotherapy including agents known to intercalate with DNA."
The above has been extracted from the Vinblastine prescribing information on the Bedford Laboratories webpages.
Vincasar
Active substance: Vincristine sulfate
Manufacturer: Sicor
"Acute uric acid nephropathy, which may occur after the administration of oncolytic agents, has also been reported with vincristine sulfate."
"Because dose-limiting clinical toxicity is manifested as neurotoxicity, clinical evaluation (eg, history, physical examination) is necessary to detect the need for dosage modification."
The above has been extracted from the Vincasar prescribing information on the Sicor webpages.
Vumon
Active substance: Teniposide
"Severe myelosuppression with resulting infection or bleeding may occur."
"Dose-limiting bone marrow suppression is the most significant toxicity associated with VUMON therapy."
"Children at SJCRH with ALL in remission who received maintenance therapy with VUMON at weekly or twice weekly doses (plus other chemotherapeutic agents), had a relative risk of developing secondary acute nonlymphocytic leukemia (ANLL) approximately 12 times that of patients treated according to other less intensive schedules."
The above has been extracted from the Vumon prescribing information on the Bristol-Myers Squibb webpages.
Zanosar *
Active substance: Streptozocin
"Renal toxicity is dose-related and cumulative and may be severe or fatal. Other major toxicities are nausea and vomiting which may be severe and at times treatment-limiting. In addition, liver dysfunction, diarrhea, and hematological changes have been observed in some patients."
"Streptozocin is mutagenic. When administered parenterally, it has been found to be tumorigenic or carcinogenic in some rodents."
"The physician must judge the possible benefit to the patient against the known toxic effects of this drug in considering the advisability of therapy with ZANOSAR."
The above has been extracted from the Zanosar prescribing information on the Sicor webpages.

Fantasy Impact: Percy Harvin Traded to Seahawks
Major wide receiver trades are becoming a recurring theme in the offseason.
2010 saw Santonio Holmes dealt to the Jets and Brandon Marshall shipped to Miami. 2011 was quiet, but Marshall was on the move again last year -- this time from the Dolphins to the Bears. We've already seen 2 receivers change addresses this offseason. Anquan Boldin went from one Harbaugh to the other when he was dealt to San Fran.
But today's trade sending Percy Harvin to Seattle was the biggest blockbuster of them all. None of the others involved a 1st-round pick. The Vikings received not only the Seahawks' 2013 1st-rounder, but also a 2013 7th-round pick and a 2014 mid-rounder.
The deal has sent ripple-effects across the NFL. Seattle now boasts one of the most explosive offenses in the NFL with Harvin, Russell Wilson, Marshawn Lynch, Sidney Rice and Golden Tate. The 'Hawks might now be the favorite to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. The Vikings, meanwhile, are left with an empty cupboard at WR. That'll surely affect their draft plans. Look for them to snag a receiver with 1 of their 2 first-round picks this April.
Harvin's impending long-term deal with Seattle will also impact the WR free-agent market. Guys like Mike Wallace, Wes Welker and Greg Jennings will attempt to use Harvin's salary as leverage. Of course, the trade will also have a big impact on your 2013 fantasy football draft. Here's a look at the winners and losers.
WINNERS Percy Harvin, WR, Seahawks
The most interesting aspect of Harvin's trade to the Seahawks might be his reunion with OC Darrell Bevell. The pair worked together for Harvin's first 2 years in Minnesota before Bevell departed for Seattle. Harvin's production under Bevell wasn't earth-shattering: 131 catches, 790 receiving yards and 11 TDs, plus another 242 yards and a score on the ground. He's actually been better in the 2 years since. But we like the fact that Bevell has already worked with Harvin. He's a unique but electric talent that needs to be used correctly. Bevell likely learned plenty from the pair's first go-around.
Of course, the best part about Harvin's move to Seattle is the QB upgrade. Christian Ponder is only 25 years old and still might emerge as a quality signal-caller. But Russell Wilson is already better. He bested Ponder in completion percentage, yards per attempt and TDs this past year. And that was without Harvin.
On top of that, Percy will benefit from a much-improved supporting cast. Marshawn Lynch is no Adrian Peterson, but Seattle averaged just 3 fewer rushing yards per game than Minnesota last year. And WRs Sidney Rice and Golden Tate are multiple notches above any WR the Vikings had alongside Harvin. While he'll undoubtedly continue to be a focal point of opposing defenses, Harvin should have more room to operate in Seattle than he did in Minnesota.
Now, he might experience a dip in touches with the Seahawks. Harvin averaged 8.9 total receptions and rushes per game over the past 2 seasons. That lofty number will be tough to hit in Seattle considering all the other weapons on the field. But Seattle gave up a boatload to acquire Harvin -- and will hand him a huge contract. They'll make sure they get their money's worth. And all those other weapons should help Harvin improve his yards-per-touch average and TD production. Simply put, it's difficult to imagine a move from that Vikings offense to this Seahawks offense being a bad thing for Harvin's fantasy value.
Russell Wilson, QB, Seahawks
Wilson turned in a brilliant rookie campaign. And he did it without a go-to WR. Sidney Rice had a good year. But he finished outside the top-40 WRs in both catches and receiving yards. Foot and knee issues rendered him pretty much useless down the stretch. Golden Tate set new career highs across the board, but he was more of a big-play maker than a consistent weekly threat. Doug Baldwin and Zach Miller were just complementary pieces.
In Percy Harvin, Wilson now has a bona fide go-to receiver to work with. The biggest thing Harvin will bring to Seattle is run-after-catch ability. Tate led Seattle in YACs this past season. But his 276 ranked just 37th league-wide. Harvin amassed 542 last year -- in just 9 games! His 8.7 yards-after-catch average led the league.
Thanks to Harvin's electric ability, a few plays that would have gone for short gains to, say, Baldwin, will go for long TDs from Wilson to Harvin in 2013. Harvin's arrival also figures to accelerate the increase in Wilson's workload. His 393 pass attempts last year ranked 26th in the league. Only 3 times did he exceed 30 passes. Expect 30+ outings to become the norm in 2013. That will more than make up for any rushing production Harvin steals. Wilson will continue to be a threat on the ground. And the addition of Harvin will give his passing numbers a significant boost.
Kyle Rudolph, TE, Vikings
Rudolph might be the biggest winner here. And the argument isn't complicated. Just look at his splits this past season with and without Harvin. In the 9 games Harvin played, Rudolph averaged 5.4 targets, 3 catches and 27 yards per game. He did score 5 times in those contests, but still averaged a mediocre 6 fantasy points per game.
With Harvin out for the final 7 games, though, Rudolph's numbers got a healthy boost. He saw 6.3 targets per game and averaged 3.7 catches and 36 yards. With 4 scores in those outings, Rudolph averaged 7 fantasy points per game. Only 9 TEs were better over that span. The loss of Harvin will certainly mean more defensive attention on Rudolph. And his scoring chances figure to take a hit with one of the game's best playmakers gone.
But Rudolph now looks like the focal point of Minnesota's passing attack. And if last year is any indication, the increase in targets will more than make up for any hit from the loss of Harvin.
Jarius Wright, WR, Vikings
We'll have to see if Minnesota brings in a slot WR like Danny Amendola or rookie Tavon Austin. But for now, Wright is slated to step into Harvin's role. Last year's 4th-round pick was a non-factor for the majority of his rookie season. He didn't step on the field in the team's first 9 games. But Wright made his debut in Week 10 with Harvin sidelined by an ankle injury.
Operating in Harvin's slot role, the Arkansas product reeled in 3 balls for 65 yards and a TD. The highlight was a 54-yard reception that took Minnesota down to the 1-yard line. Wright scored on a quick-out a few plays later. The rookie came back after the bye and went for 7 catches and 49 yards. He had a 5-catch outing in Week 16, then posted a 3-90-1 line in the season finale. That one included a 65-yard reception -- the Vikings' longest pass play of the year. Wright finished with a 14.1 yards-per-catch average that bests any mark Harvin has ever posted.
It's obviously a small sample size -- and we're not saying Wright is even in the same stratosphere as Harvin -- but there's definitely playmaking ability here. If he enters 2013 as the Vikings' slot receiver, Wright will carry some sleeper appeal in fantasy drafts.
Christian Ponder, QB, Vikings
Your Minnesota Vikings now hold the title of NFL's Worst WR Corps. And it's not close. Harvin is gone. Jerome Simpson is a free-agent. Even the recently-released Michael Jenkins would look good on the depth chart now.
But as it stands, Jarius Wright, Greg Childs and Stephen Burton are their top 3 guys. They've combined for 29 catches and 3 TDs at the NFL level. It's safe to say the Vikings will add to the position this offseason. (They reportedly tried to acquire Anquan Boldin before the 49ers got the deal done.) But it might be tough to convince a top-tier free agent to sign on the dotted line. And it's never smart to bet on a rookie to make a major year 1 impact.
Point is, Ponder won't have much help in 2013. And he doesn't have the skill set to elevate those around him. Expect a lot of handing off to Adrian Peterson. Ponder wasn't looking like much of a fantasy factor this season before the Harvin trade. He's definitely not now.
Doug Baldwin, WR, Seahawks
We could list Sidney Rice and Golden Tate here too. Harvin will demand tons of targets in Seattle. And the overall pie won't grow too much. The Seahawks will still run it plenty. That means fewer chances for Rice and Tate. But Baldwin is, by far, the biggest loser. As Seattle's slot receiver, he was on the field for 51% of the offensive snaps this past season. That number will drop significantly in 2013.
The 'Hawks figure to go with Harvin and Rice in 2-WR sets. Harvin will slip inside when they go 3-wide, with Golden Tate joining Rice outside the numbers. Baldwin will only see action when Seattle puts 4 WRs on the field. According to Pro Football Focus, that happened just 5.1% of the time last year. That number might grow a bit this season, but not nearly enough to make Baldwin a fantasy factor. He's an underrated slot receiver, though, so we could see another team make a trade offer for him.
There's one big name missing from this list: Adrian Peterson. That's because the Harvin trade looks like a wash for AP's fantasy outlook. Conventional wisdom would say the loss of such a dynamic weapon would hurt Peterson's production. He'll face even more 8 and 9-man fronts than he had been. Harvin's departure also figures to make moving the ball tougher for Minnesota, meaning fewer scoring opportunities for AP.
But conventional wisdom doesn't apply to this guy. In fact, Peterson was better without Harvin than with him in 2012. With Harvin in the lineup for the first 9 games, Peterson carried 168 times for 957 yards (5.7 yards per carry) and 6 TDs. He added 26 catches and 150 receiving yards to rank 3rd among RBs in fantasy points over that span.
But with Harvin out for the final 7, AP ripped off 1,140 yards and 6 scores on 181 carries -- good for a stupefying 6.3 yards per rush. He tossed in 67 yards and another TD in the passing game, leading all RBs in fantasy points during that stretch. Those numbers would suggest Peterson is better off without Harvin. We're not necessarily buying that. It's a small sample size. And Harvin's absence wasn't the only reason AP was better in the 2nd half of the season. He was also further removed from that shredded knee.
To suggest the loss of Harvin will help Peterson seems short-sighted. But AP has also proven capable of producing regardless. Consider his stock unaffected. He should still be the first player taken in fantasy drafts this summer. Marshawn Lynch also falls in the "wash" column. He probably won't see the 19.7 carries he averaged per game last season, but Harvin's presence also figures to open up more running room -- and lead to more scoring opportunities.

Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Featuring Snapdragon 835 & 6GB RAM Appeared on Geekbench, Specs and Features
Harsh SoniJul 07, 2017 03:06 PM EDT
Xiaomi's CEO Lei Jun has confirmed that the company has already started working on upcoming Mi Mix 2, which could make debut in the second half of the year. Now Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 has been spotted on benchmarking site Geekbench, revealing about specs and features.
According to the listing, Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 will be equipped with an Octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 processor clocked at 1.9 GHz. The device could come with 6GB RAM and run Android 7.1.1 Nougat. Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 Geekbench listing reveals that the smartphone has scored 1929 in single-core, and 6431 scores in multi-core performance test, according to the GSM Arena.
Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is the successor to Mi Mix that was launched in November. The Chinese smartphone company is said to unveil Mi Mix 2 around the same time-frame this year. Original Mi Mix was one of the first smartphones to feature a bezel-less display.
Xiaomi Mi Mix comes with the screen-to-body ratio of 91.3 per cent and ceramic body design. However, there are several reports which claim that Xiaomi will stick to the same ceramic design for Mi Mix 2 also, though the smartphone will have thinner bezels when compared to the original as compared to its successor. Rumour also hints at a curved AMOLED display with the screen-to-body ratio of 93 per cent for upcoming Mi Mix 2, as reported by Indian Express.
Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 comes with the Snapdragon 821 SoC and 4GB RAM with 128GB of onboard memory. There's another variant with 6GB RAM and 256GB of internal storage called the 'Pro' variant. Xiaomi Mi Mix boasts a 16MP rear camera and a 5MP selfie camera at the bottom of the device. The Mi Mix was only made available in China, so it is probable that Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 will be launched in China firstly.

Xiaomi Mi 6, Xiaomi Mi Max 2's Official Specifications Now Confirmed?
Staff WriterApr 11, 2017 09:52 AM EDT
Xiaomi is making headlines once again with the rumors of unveiling the Xiaomi Mi 6 and Xiaomi Mi Max 2. Specifications for the two devices are now officially spotted on GFXBench, firing up the rumors of its launch.
According to Gadgets 360, there had been many occassions the Xiaomi Mi 6 and Xiaomi Mi Max 2 were leaked. Moreover, the publication surmised that the two forthcoming premium iterations are to be unveiled sometime this month.
The Xiaomi Mi 6 is reported to run on Android 7.1.1 Nougat and an MIUI version that is yet to be released. It will sport a 5.1-inch full-HD (1080x1920 pixel) display. Powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 835 SoC, it will be coupled with a 4GB or 6GB of RAM. Furthermore, it has been reported to offer 64GB or 128GB built-in storage.
The Xiaomi Mi 6 will include a 12-megapixel rear camera with 4k video recording support and a front camera with 8-megapixel and 4k recording as well. Previous rumors put the Xiaomi Mi 6 at a price point of CNY 1,999 for 4GB RAM + 32GB storage, CNY 2,299 for 4GB RAM + 64GB storage and CNY 2,699 for 6GB RAM + 128GB RAM variants.
On the other hand, reports from GSM Arena reports that Xiaomi Mi Max 2 is the most affordable amongst the upcoming devices. Speculations indicate that the upcoming smartphone will be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 626 chipset. Combined with the speculated 5,000 mAh battery pack, this should play out nicely with the rumored chipset. This promises a slight edge over the Snapdragon 625 while still having the same battery efficiency. It will also boast a 6.44-inch display.
Xiaomi Mi Max 2 is also rumored to retain its 1080p resolution and will also run on Android 7.1.1 like the more premium Xiaomi Mi 6. A rear camera of 12-megapixel Sony IMX378 sensor and a front camera of 5-megapixel is expected to be included as well. The Xiaomi Mi Max 2 is to be retailed between CNY 1,499 and CNY 1,699 price point.
However, there is really no way of confirming these specifications that were recently leaked. And sadly, there is neither a launch date yet announced by Xiaomi for the Xiaomi Mi 6 and the Xiaomi Mi Max 2.

Signaling the Signals
US AFA’s 2019 Air, Space & Cyber Conference
AFA’s 2019 Air, Space & Cyber Conference brings together Air Force, industry, academia, and more in the biggest, best Air Force professional development event of the year
AFA’s 2019 Air, Space & Cyber Conference brings together Air Force, industry, academia, and more in the biggest, best Air Force professional development event of the year Sept. 16-18 in National Harbor, Md. The conference theme: Expanding the Competitive Edge.
“If you expand the competitive edge, then what you are doing is you’re looking beyond the horizon and .... visual range, in our parlance, and ... you’re helping industry think innovatively, creatively, and specifically to the future,” said AFA Executive Vice President and retired Air Force Maj. Gen. Douglas Raaberg. “So the force we need, what the Air Force needs, we’re going to help everybody articulate that so that they can go back and help build the force of tomorrow.”
The all-star cast of speakers and back-to-back sessions touch on everything from space and innovation to Mosaic Warfare and military-family resilience. But since an agenda that comprehensive can be intimidating, here are five can’t-miss things to get you started:
1. Get Inspired by Richard Branson
The Virgin Group founder, billionaire businessman, and space entrepreneur kicks off the conference with a focus on thinking outside the box. “I can’t think of a better speaker than Sir Richard Branson to really set the tone and the culture for the Air, Space & Cyber Conference,” Raaberg said. Branson’s “overarching perspective on space and the future” provides a sense of where industry is going. Can’t get there? Watch the livestream on Sept. 16 at 9:10 a.m. EST.
2. Space Power
Gen. Jay Raymond, commander of both US Space Command and Air Force Space Command, takes the stage Tuesday for one of the hottest topics in defense today: “Space Power: Warfighting in Space to Win on Earth.” This one will also be livestreamed. Tune in Sept. 17 at 3:55 p.m. EST.
3. Perspective from the Top
Acting Air Force Secretary Matthew Donovan addresses the “State of the Force” on Sept. 16 at 1:00 p.m. EST; Assistant Air Force Secretary for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics Will Roper talks acquisition strategy at 1:55 p.m. EST; Chief of Staff Gen. David Goldfein addresses the conference Sept. 17 at 10:45 a.m., and Chief Master Sergeant of the Air Force Kaleth Wright talks leadership issues on Sept. 18 at 10:15 a.m. Watch all four on USAF’s livestream.
4. Q&A with SecDef
Defense Secretary Mark Esper delivers his first major address to an Air Force audience Sept. 18 at 8:30 a.m., where he will touch on top issues and then open up the mic for questions. Stand by for standing room only — or watch it here.
5. Hit the Floor
The ASC 2019 exhibit hall will be packed with vendors offering ideas and solutions, teeming with airmen fresh from real-world operations. “It is literally the airmen talking to their counterparts in industry, in academia, in Capitol Hill,” he says. “The exchange of ideas and thoughts far exceeds any kind of show that you could ever imagine attending.” Uniting creative and innovative minds makes the show an incubator where Air Force and industry can “really grapple with the needs” of the Air Force and plant the seeds that will grow “into actual acquisition opportunities that meet the warfighter needs and make the airmen the most lethal, capable fighting force for our nation.”

UK goes back to square one on Huawei as Johnson promises to re-examine 5G access
Aug 13, 2019 12:01 pm Cyber Security 42
New Prime Minister Boris Johnson is said to be re-examining Huawei's involvement in UK 5G networks from 'square one'
The UK's policy on Huawei in 5G networks is to be re-considered following talks between US national security advisor John Bolton and Prime Minister Boris Johnson.
That's according to Bolton himself, who claims that British officials have pledged to re-examine the user of Huawei in UK 5G networks from "square one".
Bolton has been in the UK for talks this week over the US policy on Iran, the emerging situation in Hong Kong, Brexit, as well as to pressure allies in Europe over Huawei.
The US has threatened to cut allies out of intelligence-sharing arrangements if they allow Huawei hardware to be used in 5G networks. The US claims that the Chinese communications hardware vendor cannot be trusted due to its close ties to the Chinese state.
Huawei claims that it is owned by its trade unions, but in China trade unions are ultimately controlled by the state.
"They [UK officials] said, in particular, they are looking really from square one on the Huawei issue. They were very concerned about not having any compromise in security of telecommunications in the 5G space," Bolton told reporters, according to the Financial Times.
He continued: "What they said was ‘we would like to review this and be very sure about our decision and we too are concerned about the security of our 5G telecommunications network'."

Belgian National Coach, Carlo Bomans, has confirmed that Gianni Meersman and Dries Devenyns (Omega Pharma-Quick-Step) will not start the World Championship Road Race on Sunday with Serge Pauwels (Omega Pharma-Quick-Step) and Maxim Monfort (RadioShack Leopard) to ride as substitutes.
Belgians national team suffering from lack of ambition
Belgian team has healthy ambitions for world championships
Pauwels was announced as the replacement for Devenyns on Sunday which prompted discussion over the non-selection of Monfort with Monfort himself taking to twitter to voice his displeasure:
"Not even consulted to be a possible replacement for @3sdevenyns [Dries Devenyns], Check. #doubledeception #incomprehension."
Soon after, Meersman contacted Bomans to inform him that he that he was not feeling well.
"During the GP Impanis on Saturday Gianni Meersman was already not feeling well," Bomans told Sporza. "Sunday he suffered from gastroenteritis. And that's only gotten worse."
"I immediately contacted Maxime Monfort," explained Bomans. "I asked him if he was still motivated. Maxime let me know that he really wanted to race. He was initially disappointed [at not being selected], it's the World Championships, I can understand. [But] I can only select seven riders."
With news of his selection to replace Meersman, Monfort was understandably happy.
"I no longer expected to make the World Championships squad," Monfort told Sporza. "I was very disappointed when I was not there [initially], but now I'm riding the World Championships. That's the main thing.
"I'm definitely excited. The past few days I have trained hard. I have a good feeling on the bike and will be able to play a good role at the World Championships. My personal ambitions, I don't have any. I'll ride 100 percent for the team in Firenze and our leader Philippe Gilbert."
And despite the bitter tone from his earlier tweeting, Monfort was quick to quell any rumours about a rift between himself and the national coach.
"With Carlo Bomans I certainly have no problems," said Monfort. "During the past year we have talked a lot, more than before."
Barring any additional last-minute alterations, the Belgian squad to take to the start line on Sunday will be comprised of: Philippe Gilbert, Greg Van Avermaet (BMC), Bjorn Leukemans (Vacansoleil-DCM), Jan Bakelants, Maxime Monfort (RadioShack Leopard), Serge Pauwels (Omega Pharma-Quick-Step) and Johan Vansummeren (Garmin).

2014 Giro d'Italia will begin on a Friday
Race organiser RCS Sport presented the route of the race at a special event at the hotel where the Italian national team is staying in Tuscany for the world race race championships.
The weeklong WorldTour stage race will be held from Wednesday March 12 to Tuesday March 18, ending five days before the 2014 Milan-San Remo.
The race includes three stages for the sprinters and two tough days in the Apennines, including a summit finish at Cittareale (Selva Rotonda) on the Saturday. Sunday's stage finishes on the short but steep climb Muro di Guardiagrele, near the town of Chieti. It is only 800m long but is considered the steepest road in Italy. It climbs at an average of 25% with some points at 28%.
Tirreno-Adriatico has become notorious for discovering steep narrow roads up to hill top villages in the heart of Italy. During this year's race, some riders were forced to walk on the Muro di Sant'Elpidio climb.
Italy's Vincenzo Nibali (Astana) managed to distance Chris Froome (Astana) during the finale of the rain-soaked stage and set up overall victory.
2014 Tirreno-Adriatico:
Stage 1: Wednesday March 12: Donoratico-San Vincenzo (Team time trial): 16.9km.
Stage 2: Thursday March 13: San Vincenzo-Cascina: 173km
Stage 3: Friday March 14: Cascina-Arezzo: 206km
Stage 4: Saturday March 15: Indicatore-Cittareale (Selva Rotonda): 237km
Stage 5: Sunday March 16: Amatrice-Guardiagrele: 190km
Stage 6: Monday March 17: Bucchianico-Porto Sant'Elpidio: 187km
Stage 7: Tuesday March 18: San Benedetto del Tronto (Individual time trial): 9.2km.

Cops are threatening to release the names of suspects connected with the murder of two teens at a Milton Keynes house party.
Thames Valey Police issued the threat in a bid to get the suspects to hand themselves in over the deaths of Ben Gillham-Rice and Dom Ansah, both 17.
The pair were both killed at a home in Emerson Valley, just before midnight on Saturday, October 19.
Police later revealed Dom was stabbed in the back while Ben was knifed in the chest at the birthday party.

Charlie Chandler, 21, of Fitzwilliam Street in Bletchley, has been charged with two counts of murder and two counts of attempted murder.
Earl Bevans, 22, was arrested on Thursday on suspicion of murder and attempted murder. He will appear in court later today.
But Thames Valley Police have now called on further suspects to come forward or risked being named.
Head of crime Ian Hunter said: “We are still looking for others and they know who they are. I want to appeal directly to those people.
“We are looking for you and w will find you, however long it takes. At this stage we have not released your names or photographs, so please hand yourself in to the nearest police station as soon as possible.
“This is not going to go away and if we have to, we will name you so there will be no place for you to hide.”

The Detective Chief Superintendent added: “I also want to remind anybody helping or assisting these people that we have arrested and prosecuted for the serious offence of assisting offenders before and we will do so again if necessary.”
A joint statement was released by the families of both boys after their deaths.
Dom’s relatives described him as “our loveable, cheeky son who was the light of the family’s life and the other half to Holly, his twin sister”.
Meanwhile, Ben was described as a “gentle giant with the most caring and loving nature you could ever have asked for”.
Two others, a 17-year-old boy and a man aged 23, were also injured in the stabbing frenzy.

» Latest news about Graphene
Graphene membranes may hold the key to low-power color e-paper
Researchers from the Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands designed graphene-based "mechanical pixels" that could, among other applications, be someday used to enable color IMOD e-paper displays.
In these so-called "graphene balloons", a double layer of graphene (two atoms thick) is deposited on top of circular indents cut into silicon. The graphene membranes enclose air inside the cavities, and the position of the membranes can be changed by applying a pressure difference between the inside and the outside. When the membranes are closer to the silicon they appear blue; when the membranes are pushed away they appear red.

Plenary session:
The European Economic and Social Committee (EESC) welcomes the Commission's initiative, considering it an important step in developing an industrial strategy for cybersecurity and a strategic move to achieve robust and comprehensive digital autonomy. These aspects are essential for strengthening Europe's defence mechanisms against the ongoing cyberwarfare that threatens to undermine its political, economic and social systems.

Giuseppe GUERINI (Diversity Europe - GR III/Italy)
The EESC welcome the definitive destination principle-based VAT system for taxing goods in B2B relations and reminds that it is an important achievement proving the continuous consolidation of the EU internal market. The Committee urges the Commission to explore how a common VAT system for both services and goods can be rolled out as quickly as possible. The EESC recommends greater collaboration between national fiscal and enforcement authorities in order to make the new destination-based VAT system more effective in terms of both effectiveness against fraud and reliability in favour of European enterprises.

Common standards and procedures in Member States for returning illegally staying third-country nationals (recast)
SOC/608-EESC-2018
José Antonio Moreno Díaz (Workers - GR II / Spain)
Vladimíra Drbalová (Employers - GR I/Czech Republic)
The EESC welcomes the Commission's efforts to speed up returns, but regrets that the recast was not supported by an impact assessment and/or public consultation on the existing Directive 2008/115/EC.
The EESC believes that an effective returns policy should be part of a truly common policy and legislation for legal migration and for asylum, which is currently missing, giving the impression that the EU adopts a purely security and policing-focused vision of migration as a criminal matter. Such a comprehensive common EU migration policy would also be the best answer to the extreme right-wing and nationalist discourse on migration.
The EESC welcomes the Commission's efforts to making the return procedure quicker and more efficient. Even so, consideration should be given to how realistic the proposed time-scales are and an assessment made of the obstacles that could frustrate this intention.

Aurel Laurenţiu PLOSCEANU (Employers - GR I / Romania)
Eric BRUNE (France)
The EU’s geopolitical context has changed dramatically in the last decade. The situation in its neighbouring regions is unstable and it faces a complex and challenging environment in which new threats, such as hybrid and cyber-attacks, are emerging, and more conventional challenges are returning.
EU citizens and their political leaders agree that the EU should collectively take more responsibility for its security. In the joint declaration of 25 March 2017 in Rome, leaders of 27 Member States and the European Council, the European Parliament and the European Commission stated the Union will strengthen its common security and defence and foster a more competitive and integrated defence industry.

Gender equality in European labour markets (Exploratory opinion from the European Parliament)
Helena DE FELIPE LEHTONEN (Employers - GR I / Spain)
This opinion responds to a request from European Parliament for an exploratory opinion on gender equality in European labour markets, which had put a special emphasis on the pay situation and care obligations.
The opinion considers it necessary to draw up an integrated and ambitious European strategy to tackle systemic and structural obstacles and lead to policies for improving equality between women and men and to help implementing the European Pillar of Social Rights. It reiterates the EESC positions on the gender pay gap and work-life balance and recommends gender neutral pay systems. It pleads to fight gender segregation in education, training and the labour market, in particular of women belonging to vulnerable groups.

Instrument for Pre-accession (IPA III)
Dimitris DIMITRIADIS (Employers - GR I / Greece)
The Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA) aims to prepare candidates and potential candidates for the rights and obligations of EU membership. First established for the 2007-2013 programming period, under the 2014–2020 MFF it is called IPA II. Its beneficiaries include the Western Balkan countries (Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Montenegro, Serbia, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) and Turkey. The proposed financial envelope for IPA III for the period 2021-2027 accounts for a 13 % increase compared to current IPA II funding, or €14.5 billion in current prices. The general objective of the IPA is to support EU aspirants to adopt and implement all reforms (political, institutional, legal, administrative, social and economic) required to comply with EU’s values and to progressively align to EU rules, standards policies and practices on their path towards EU membership.

European Border and Coast Guard
SOC/607-EESC-2018-04848-00-00-AC-TRA
Antonello PEZZINI (Employers - GR I / Italy)
The EESC supports the proposal to provide the Agency with its own permanent operational arm made up of 10 000 staff, while it recommends that cooperation between the Agency and the national administrations be defined and organised at European level in a clear and transparent manner.
Given the role which would be played by the Agency in the event of detention of individuals and their potential return to their countries of origin, the Committee recommends that statutory staff are given training modules on respect for fundamental rights.
The Committee calls for the EESC to be part of the Consultative Forum.
EESC opinion: European Border and Coast Guard
Zbigniew KOTOWSKI (Poland)
The proposal for a Regulation (COM(2018) 366) is based on Article 3 of the Treaty on European Union: the EU pursues the goal to promote peace, its values and the well-being of its peoples , the EU shall respect its rich cultural and linguistic diversity, and shall ensure that Europe's cultural heritage is safeguarded and enhanced . But there is a clear perception that the number of challenges to face is larger, in particular the competition from online platforms and search engines, the concentration of the sector around a limited number of big players, or the rise of disinformation. With this new programme, the EU Commission wants to offer opportunities for operators to develop technologically and artistically innovative European trans-border initiatives to exchange, co-create, co-produce, and distribute European works. The purpose is also to strengthen the position of EU actors in the EU and global markets.

Kate Boy— "We’ve been naive."
Words by EB Team
Published on October 8, 2014 10:00 Berlin Time
Swedish synth-pop trio Kate Boy have been touring relentlessly since the release of their hook-heavy Northern Lights EP in 2013, and their motivations have morphed on the road. Backstage before the group’s set at Electronic Beats Festival Podgorica, what began as a whimsical quiz on their favorite tour spots bled into a heart-on-sleeve mission statement.
In the 1960s and ’70s, media theorist Marshall McLuhan predicted that the advance of communications technology woudl turn the world into a “global village” with more person-to-person empathy and responsibility. However, Kate Boy fear that our compassion for one another has not flowered in the way McLuhan hoped. Their new work seeks to reconcile their musical practice with the humanitarian issues that stir them in an attempt to speak more potently to the many different cultures they have encountered through their performances.
Kate Boy’s Favorite Shop: Henrik Vibskov in Copenhagen
Vibskov’s own label is amazing and has incredible designs, and inside the shop there were some local designers we hadn’t heard of who had amazing style. We like to all wear the same things, so we like going to shops which have unisex labels. The sad thing is that we don’t usually get time to explore, but when we do, we always ask the people we meet, “Where would you go to eat the best authentic food here that you couldn’t find if you were a tourist?”
Kate Boy’s Favorite Hotels: Hotel Urania in Vienna
We love places which are a bit twisted, a bit weird, and a bit fun. At Hotel Urania in Vienna, you feel like you’ve entered a completely different dimension. Everything is kind of old, but the mix of the people working there is so weird—you’ll be standing in reception and realize that someone’s been breathing down your neck for ten minutes waiting for you to say something. The walls are covered with art from every religion you could ever think of and there are birds in cages everywhere. You’ll hear a piano coming from somewhere, and walk in to the room and there’ll be nobody playing it. The guy checking you in is wearing this butcher’s apron. The cool thing was that it felt authentic—the owners were just genuinely wacky people.
Kate Boy’s Favorite Venue: Razzmatazz in Barcelona
Razzmatazz in Barcelona. It’s got a great sound system: the onstage monitors for the musicians match the quality you’d usually have for the audience. It’s just extremely good design. It’s a big club venue, about 1,000, which feels big enough for a good quality of sound but small enough to feel intimate. We also should mention La Machine in Paris – those guys know how to party. We played there on Halloween and everyone was naked, bodypainted red as devils, covered in glitter and throwing out candy. Still to this day all of our cables are covered in red glitter!
Kate Boy’s Favorite Tourist Attraction: Tom’s Diner in New York City and Templehof Airport in Berlin
Every time we’ve toured the States, we always arrive in New York first, so we get off the plane from Sweden and have a day off. We’re obsessed with Seinfeld, so we visit Tom’s Restaurant [the famous diner from Seinfeld]. It’s pretty surreal when you’re a fan.
In Berlin, too, we have our tourist-y routine of getting a kebab from Mustafa’s and going to Tempelhof, which has hugely inspired us. There’s a track in our new set called “Tempelhof,” and every time we play it, we imagine the kite surfers. It feels like Tempelhof represents that human beauty and positivity wins in the end—if you leave anything long enough, good things will settle.
How has touring affected your mentality as a group?
It’s quite primitive, actually. We had this vision of making music partly so that we could travel and experience the world. At a certain point, you’re there experiencing the world, so is that it? What’s next? It feels quite egotistical of us just to experience these things for ourselves, so what can we do with that?
We have a theme in our upcoming album—we’ve tied everything together with four words. One is “human,” one is “equal,” the other is “evolve,” and the last is “one.” We came together and called ourselves Kate Boy because it’s not about men and women, or pigeonholing; it’s about all being together and on one level. We all evolve from being human and changing. What we thought three years ago isn’t what we think now. We changed.
What are the things that you’re trying to talk about on the new record, aside from simply making effective club music?
When we were writing the album, so many things were going on. The Olympics were on, and we were talking a lot about gay marriage. Every day, we would come into the studio, and there’d be another thing that would make us upset and inspire us. In Sweden, a lot of people have been looking into feminism over the last few years—there’s a party growing quite rapidly, and everybody’s talking about it.
We’ve been naive in thinking that the more people meet one another, the smaller the world becomes because communication has become more efficient. That’s either because of cheaper flights or the Internet—the more people meet, the more accepting they should be of each other. But when you see these things happening, you see that it’s going in a different direction, and you can’t just let everything settle on its own and hope that it’s going to turn out well. And we’re just sitting there in the studio making music to get a good feeling from it.
You hear about all these organizations striving every day to change stuff for the better, and you go, “Can we somehow contribute in any way by making music?” By bringing these messages through and trying to connect with people about something we really care about, it makes performing night after night to different people from different cultures and different countries so fulfilling for us.
After we finished our chat with Kate Boy, they hit the stage for a powerhouse performance, which you can watch right here.

Miura Boilers’ ‘Culture of Safety’ Recognized by OSHA Safety & Health Achievement Program
KEYWORDS boilers / miura / pressure / steam / Steam Boilers
ROCKMART, Ga. — Over the past 60 years, since Miura began manufacturing process steam boilers in 1959, the company’s corporate philosophy has placed an emphasis on safety, both in the performance of its products and the workplace environment in which they are designed, engineered, assembled, and shipped.
The results of the company’s efforts have been extraordinary with a steam boiler safety record that represents a monumental achievement. With more than 140,000 units in operation world-wide, Miura has never had a pressure vessel explosion resulting in casualty. The company’s “safer-by-design” engineering, combined with their unique boiler geometry, means that catastrophic vessel failure is practically impossible, and day-to-day safety issues related to installation, operation, and maintenance are greatly minimized.
But being the safety leader didn’t stop with product performance, and shortly after opening its U.S. manufacturing facility in Rockmart, Georgia, in 2009, Miura set out to achieve the distinction of becoming the safest workplace in the steam boiler industry.
Earning the OSHA Safety & Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) certification was another step in that direction.
“Miura has put safety first in everything we do,” said Carrie Murakami, general affairs lead at Miura America, who worked with Robert Hendry and Paige Rohrig of Georgia Tech, where the OSHA Safety & Health consultation program is administered for the state of Georgia.
The SHARP designation is awarded to those businesses that have used OSHA's On-Site Consultation Program services and operate exemplary safety and health programs. SHARP recognizes companies with fewer than 250 employees at the site (and fewer than 500 U.S. employees) that enter this elective program and achieve an outstanding injury and illness prevention rating. A SHARP designation requires complete dedication from all areas of a company and all levels of employees as well as an investment in the necessary resources.
“SHARP certification can take years to achieve, and requires a substantial commitment in time and resources,” said Rohrig. “It’s not just about putting safety guards in place or doing noise sampling. Instead, it requires a whole system, a whole culture of safety from the newest employee to the president or CEO of the company.”
Earning their SHARP designation required that Miura go through an exhaustive review of procedures and process while having all employees participate in weeks of safety training performed at the beginning of the workday with a new monthly topic introduced to all employees, including office staff.
Each department within Miura also held five minute safety huddles at the beginning of the shift and upon returning from lunch. Each member of the department was responsible for addressing a certain topic for each meeting. These huddles met each workday to get the employees’ minds on practicing safe work habits.
“Going through the SHARP certification process helped to make Miura an even safer company, since it allowed us to identify critical areas that required additional solutions,” said Murakami. “In one instance, we addressed a concern by investing in 15 new welding hoods. It was a small price to pay for keeping our welders safe and a great investment considering that it helped to reduce related injuries. Investing in safety and health measures is always worth it.”
“A company’s commitment to workplace safety and health is completely tied into the production and quality of their products, because many of the same preventative maintenance and inspection protocols are used throughout,” said Rohrig, referencing her involvement with the company. “The mindset of constantly working to achieve maximum safety is apparent in everything they do.”
Companies that earn the OSHA SHARP designation must also have injury and illness rates below the national average, an achievement that also speaks to the needs of Miura’s customers who understand how injuries and the resulting downtime can adversely affect productivity while increasing insurance costs and worker’s compensation claims.
By achieving the SHARP designation and its latest renewal, Miura continues to build its reputation as a safety leader in the steam boiler industry as well as a standout company in the state in which the company manufactures its products.
“Currently, there are nine SHARP designated companies in Georgia,” said Rohrig. “That small number should provide a basis for understanding just how difficult it is to qualify for this certification. It takes a lot of effort and a special kind of company to do that.”
SHARP status puts Miura in an elite group of small businesses that maintain exemplary safety and health programs. In addition to being granted an exemption from OSHA programmed inspections for up to two years, and subsequent renewal for up to three years, a SHARP certification speaks to the culture of a company, whose goal is to protect workers from all safety and health hazards that may exist at the workplace prior to completing the program while constantly striving to always be better.
Achieving SHARP certification connects well with Miura’s corporate philosophy, which has always put safety first, while enhancing the efficiency and reliability of the workplace. Miura employees also appreciate the unusual level of commitment the company provides in addressing their individual safety and health needs.
“Providing a safe and healthy workplace for workers is simply good business, since it often helps build employee appreciation and loyalty,” said Murakami. “SHARP designation is also a real advantage in attracting new employees, who value the commitment a company makes on their behalf. If you have employees that are safe, then the moral is better. If you care more about them, they typically care more about you.”

Bismark Boateng's first MLS goal lifts Colorado Rapids over the San Jose Earthquakes
Midfielder Bismark Boateng scored his first career goal in the third minute of stoppage time to give the host Colorado Rapids a dramatic 2-1 victory over the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday night at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.
Boateng, a transfer from Premier League champion Manchester City last January, skidded a right-footed shot from the top of the penalty box through traffic and past goalie Andrew Tarbell for the game-winner and his first goal in 30 career games with the Rapids.
Tommy Smith also scored for Colorado which won back-to-back games for just the second time this season. Tim Howard had five saves for the Rapids.
Magnus Eriksson scored on a penalty kick for San Jose which played the final two minutes and stoppage time with just 10 men after defender Shea Salinas was given a red card. Andrew Tarbell had three saves for the Earthquakes.
The Rapids took a 1-0 lead in the 24th minute on Smith's third goal of the season off a nice set piece. Colorado's Sam Nicholson took a corner from the left side of the net and kicked it short to midfielder Kellyn Acosta who then lofted a pass across the box to Smith where the New Zealand international headed the ball past Tarbell and inside the far post.

San Jose nearly tied it three minutes later when Jahmir Hyka received a pass from Danny Hoesen in the middle of the box and fired a right-footed shot that a diving Howard deflected wide of the goal with his left foot and hand.
Howard came up with another big save in the 42nd minute on a hard right-footed shot from the outside the center of the penalty box by Salinas. Howard dove to his left and deflected the shot wide with his left arm.
After back-to-back big saves by Howard and Tarbell in the 52 nd and 53 rd minutes, Eriksson tied it with his fourth goal of the season on a penalty kick.
Rapids defender Kortne Ford was called for a foul for bringing down Guram Kashia in the middle of the penalty box. Eriksson then rifled a left-footed shot into the right corner from the spot.

How Ralph Lauren Dressed The American Dream
The new documentary, Very Ralph, has this week's Style Archive looking to a nation's genealogy
By Murray Clark
Style Archive: a series in which we celebrate the stars of the past that made menswear what it is today. This week: the man behind a brand new HBO documentary, and he who dressed three generations.
We see Ralph Lauren, in black and white photographs, armed with nothing but a suitcase and the tailoring of your forefathers: wide-lapelled, boxy, an Oxbridge check. He's off to sell some ties to Bloomingdales, says the narrator of HBO and Sky Atlantic's new documentary Very Ralph. But he's rebuffed. If the department store – back then, a kingmaker in the realm of Very Successful American Brands – was to invest, they wanted thinner neckwear and, more importantly, the removal of Ralph Lauren's home-brewed 'Polo' branding.
The travelling tie salesman departs. This was his brand. And it would remain so for the next five decades, despite kicking against the conservatism of Lyndon B. Johnson's America. Regular Joes and moneyed Joseph III's weren't all that into peacockery, said the Bloomingdales' buyers.

But it seems your distant relatives were. This really was the tailoring of your forefathers. Take one look at a photo album, and Lauren's lithe battle armour could well have cloaked your grandad at an event of note, maybe your father en route to his first job. It could even be yours. And we're sure you're not a show-off, just a very well-dressed man who's abreast of his Seventies revivals.
But the big menswear turning point wasn't a year. It was a person. It's difficult to imagine style before Ralph Lauren's preppy ads, with their WASPs kicking back in their natural habitat. Without Ralph there'd be no Tommy Hilfiger, and certainly no Prep 2.0 in the form of Upper East Side-goes-Bowery truants Aime Leon Doré and Noah.
This is, arguably, the best example of how to accrue, and maintain, an empire and its new clothing. In the very opening of the documentary, we're served a quote from The New York Times on how a room, an outfit, even a haircut could be deemed "very Ralph Lauren" (and yes, that is where the film takes its name). And turning yourself into an adjective means leaving no stone unturned. Ralph Lauren started in ties. He quickly launched menswear. A shaky commercial patch, then onto womenswear. Then sportswear. Then accessories. Then homeware. Then, finally, streetwear. He made friends in every generation, from your grandfather in his Purple Label tuxedo, to your nephew who's constantly hitting refresh to see if he's copped the Ralph Lauren x Palace collab. He probably didn't: it sold out in minutes.
This is what happens when you make sure your fingers are in all the right pies. Despite being ubiquitous, Ralph Lauren – man and brand – touches on every aspect of American culture, but manages to define Americana everywhere, rather than be diluted. Whether that's a thick twill overshirt in a Native American print, or the scholastic blazer of a wealthy industrialist, Ralph Lauren's signature endures.
It's also grown. That idea of Americanness, of country clubs and the Ivy League and Midwestern ranches, is a dream co-opted almost to parody. But it's one that's still dreamt of as fervently as ever. It's a very American thing to still believe in the American Dream, especially during this Trumpian wake-up call.
Ralph Lauren does. And by capturing that, he's built a brand that's filled wardrobes for decades with the sense of Americanness that Very Ralph dwells upon. So American is it that its soaring orchestral crescendos, set against grainy photos of baseball players and Montauk picnics, can be a little jarring to a cynical Brit. But that doesn't make it any less true. American culture is the world's touchstone. Everyone wants a part of it, and you can opt-in every time you feature that polo playing horseman upon the chest of your crisp Oxford shirt.
Very Ralph airs on Friday 15 November at 9pm, on Sky Atlantic.

Easy As 1, 2, 6!
Learn an easy way to integrate Ableton Live 6 into your DJ set and slowly become more comfortable with the concept by looking at some real-world applications.
Ean Golden
Last month, we covered some basic questions and concepts about using Ableton Live 6 as a DJ tool. If you missed that issue, you can always read it and other archives of this column at remixmag.com. Now, let's take those concepts and put them into practice by looking at some real-world applications. If DJing with two turntables is your normal comfort zone, and switching to turntable-friendly programs like Serato Scratch is a little scary, then jumping on the Live boat could be a really intimidating idea. It's understandable, as many people are hesitant to give up the simple and easy-to-comprehend two-song/two-turntable interface. Don't worry, there is an easy way to integrate Live into your existing set and slowly become more comfortable with the concept.
MATH WON'T KILL YOU
We are going to set up Live as a third deck, mixing it in and out using a MIDI slider to keep the computer in time with records, CDs or other musicians. This is possible without a MIDI controller, but for intuitive, hands-on control, I highly recommend using one. A few things to look for are long sliders to mimic the pitch control of a turntable. The M-Audio Trigger Finger is a good option because it has four sliders.
Learn all about Ableton Live in one place. Find tutorials, reviews, videos, artist interviews all about Ableton Live on the Ableton Hot Topic page.
Assuming that you have a MIDI controller connected and sending data to Live, assign any available slider to the master tempo (top-left corner, next to TAP). Click on Command + M (CNTL + M on a PC) to go into MIDI-assign mode, click on the master tempo and move the slider. Now, when you move the slider, your master tempo will move all the way between 60 and 200 (the default Live tempo range). Because every song you play in Live is controlled by this master tempo, you can ride the master tempo just like a turntable, keeping one song, or many, in time with music outside of Live. How precise that movement is depends on the range setting. Setting the range is also done in the MIDI assignment window in Live 6. Before changing those values, we need to know the approximate tempo of the song you are mixing out of. The global tap tempo is a good way to determine that. Now, we need to shorten the tempo range to be a fixed amount above or below that tempo. For instance, if the record playing is at 125 bpm, your range should be somewhere around 121-128. You can make that as narrow as you like for more precise control, but to get the same action as a turntable, you first need to do some simple math.
The Technics SL-1200MK2 pitch fader is four inches long and moves ±8 percent. So for example, multiply 125 bpm times .08, and you get a 10-bpm range. At 125 bpm, that's ±5 bpm, or 120-130. The Trigger Finger is about 2.5 inches long, so to get the same feel, we need to set the range at a bit less than that, roughly ±5 percent, which works out to be about ±3 bpm, or 122-128. You will need to reset the range as the tempo changes, using the same distance each time. No need to recalculate based on length because the turntables naturally vary at different tempos as well. If your MIDI controller supports it, it might be wise to reverse its output so that down is faster and up is slower, just like the trusty wheels of steel.
One last thing, and you'll have a very functional third deck. Because we are playing against music outside of Live, you don't want it to snap to the internal-quantize settings. Set the Global Quantize setting (top-center screen) to “none.” Now you can easily start Live in time with any other audio. Riding the tempo is the most effective way to keep Live in time after that, but there is a way to do pitch bend-type movements. With the Global Quantize set to zero, you can use the nudge buttons in each audio clip's property window to push the song forward or back in small increments. It's not very precise, but it can come in handy if you don't want to mess with the tempo.
THE RACK PACK
Once you get familiar with keeping Live in time with other music, layering several songs is a cinch. Then it's just a short hop, skip and jump over to DJing fully with Ableton. Already there? Ableton 6 offers a few great new features that can help take your DJ set to another level. One of my favorites is the introduction of racks, where you can easily combine several effects into one unit and then control multiple parameters with a single MIDI-assignable knob. EQs, filter sweeps and delays are the DJ's bread-and-butter effects, but they can get stale rather quickly. Ableton allows you to dramatically personalize these standard DJ tools.
For example, a highpass filter is fun and effective, but it gets boring after excessive use. Try building your own filter that has the following characteristics: Instead of just layering multiple effects on top of each other, which can quickly get annoying, use different effects to kick in at different stages of the filter sweep. You may want to leave the filter as is for low-cut range, cleanly removing bass and kick, but then as it works up into the mid range another timed resonance filter kicks in, adding tempo and texture. Then, as you finally filter out most of the track, a triplet delay kicks in, creating a dramatic build. These different stages make a much more playable effect that will stay fresh longer. The above example and much more can be done with creative mapping of macro controls in the racks. The possibilities are only as limited as your imagination.
While writing this, I stumbled across a post that was asking how a certain famous DJ created a specific effect with Live. The answers were broad, and almost all of them were possible ways to accomplish the same thing. In Live, there are a million roads that lead to compelling sounds and mind-blowing performance effects. You just have to start somewhere.

South Sudan plans licence round
by Ed Reed
South Sudan plans to launch a licence round in 2020
South Sudan plans to offer 13 blocks under a licence round to be launched in the first quarter of 2020, moving away from the previous preference for direct negotiations.
South Sudan’s Minister of Petroleum Daniel Awow Chuang set out the plans at the recently concluded South Sudan Oil & Power conference, in Juba. The country is producing 178,000 bpd, he said, but it hopes “to reach 250,000 bpd in the near future. We are successfully reaching target thanks to extensive support from our partners and neighbouring countries”.
In particular, the minister noted the importance of its co-operation with its northern neighbour, Sudan. South Sudan exports all of its crude through Port Sudan.
South Sudan has attempted to boost exploration in an attempt to tackle its production declines. Nigeria’s Oranto Petroleum began exploring on the B3 block in 2017 and a deal was signed with the South African state-owned Strategic Fuel Fund (SFF) for B2. The South African company said it would begin an aerial survey in December.
One company working to boost South Sudanese production is Sudd Petroleum Operating Co. (SPOC), which expects to restart output by the end of the year. The company holds Block 5A, which covers 20,917 square km, it has two fields, Thar Jath and Mala. The central production facility (CPF) on the block can handle 80,000 bpd, but the company said it expected output to be 18,000 bpd.
Production halted on the block in 2013 and work must be carried out to rehabilitate equipment that was abandoned at the facilities.
Greater Pioneer Operating Co. (GPOC), in a presentation by Tap Magok Gai, reported production was 49,000 bpd from Blocks 1, 2 and 4. Output is coming from five fields, with 64 wells currently producing, to the Heglig CPF.
This venture shut down production in 2013, resuming operations in 2018. It expects to increase output to 59,000 bpd in 2021, before going into a gradual decline. Peak production was reported in 2004, at 214,000 bpd.
The GPOC presentation set out a number of challenges, including the management of ageing assets, difficulty in accessing fields during the rainy season and customs difficulties.
One area that offers potential scope for improvement is increasing the recovery factor. Block 5A. The petroleum initially in place (PIIP) figure for the block was put by SPOC at 2.9 billion barrels, but with an estimated ultimate recoverable of only 221 million barrels. The company is already working on a combination of horizontal and vertical wells but there may be the potential for more.
SPOC is 67.88% owned by Malaysia’s Petronas, 24.13% by India’s ONGC Videsh Ltd (OVL) and 8% by South Sudan’s Nilepet. GPOC is 40% owned by China National Petroleum Corp. (CNPC), 30% by Petronas, 25% by OVL and 5% by Nilepet.
