Bar some mild chestiness, colorations are very well controlled Exceptional stereo imaging Mid and treble coherence Good control Expensive for size Some mild chestiness Audioplan is a German operation that has been around for nearly 30 years. While its prime activity has long been the creation of a small, but highly refined range of speakers, it has also played a major role in emphasising the importance that accessories in the broadest sense have in the final performance of a hi-fi system. A two-way miniature invariably supplied with matching stands, the original Kontrapunkt was launched way back in 1984 and claims to have been: "the first serial production loudspeaker with spikes and sand filling". That's as may be; the little Kontrapunkt has gone through several distinct stages of evolution, as its IVB suffix clearly shows, for example abandoning spikes in favour of Sicomin AntiSpikes when the first Mk IV model appeared in 1997. Ten years on, Audioplan introduced this £2,898 per pair Kontrapunkt IVB. It's still a tiny two-way miniature, but an exceptionally solid and refined one. The speaker itself weighs a surprisingly hefty 9.4 kilograms, but that pales into insignificance when you try to lift the matching pedestal stand, which totals 29 kilograms (including 20 kilograms of sand fill). It's almost as though the pedestal 'raises the floor' to support the speaker proper, although it's apparently possible to adjust the tonality by varying the amount of sand. It's a very pretty loudspeaker (and pedestal), with a choice of four real-wood veneers – cherry, beech, maple and apricot – or four paint finishes (grey, white and black enamel, and black high gloss). It's also very heavily built, with walls up to 65 millimetres thick. Heavy duty twin terminal pairs, plus substantial silver-plated links, feed an encapsulated crossover. The small main driver has an 80-millimetre doped paper cone and is mounted above a mechanically decoupled 25-millimetre fabric dome tweeter and below a slot-shaped port. The AntiSpike coupling consists of small discs, about three centimetres in diameter and a few millimetres thick, which sit on three similar looking discs recessed into the top surface of the pedestal. The base of the pedestal has a small plinth which extends the stability footprint and again sits on AntiSpikes – four in this case. Tiny loudspeakers are bound to lack bass weight and loudness capability, but they also have significant advantages in several areas. Small enclosures are bound to produce similarly small cabinet coloration, and their wide dispersion promotes good imaging; small main drivers operate higher into the upper midrange without difficulty and integrate better with a tweeter. And it's the quite wonderful stereo image, precision and focus that really sets this small speaker apart from the herd. The above reasons do indeed contribute, but such advantages can only be as good as the specific implementation. It's abundantly clear that this model's painstaking long-term development, and its consequent excellent coherence and very low levels of coloration, make a major contribution to its superior imaging. Although deep bass isn't on the agenda here, and the lower mid sounds a little lean, there's sufficient port-assisted midbass to keep the speaker well clear of walls and thus add air and spaciousness to the imaging. There's also a touch of chestiness through the lower registers, but the mid and presence voicing and coherence are about as good as it gets and are more than fair compensation.

__label__cc	0.522032	0.477968	20 best image-editing apps for Mac and iOS: top image apps revealed By MacLife Take control of your images There are more great image-editing tools than ever before, and they aren't limited to the desktop. We've curated a collection of the best Mac and iOS apps for tweaking, filtering, improving, painting, or just plain editing your favorite photos, no matter where you happen to be. Best of all, most of this software is extremely affordable (or even free), so dive in and find an app that's a good fit for your personal workflow. Out with the old, in with the new: iPhoto and Aperture exist only in our memories now, but they've been replaced with a capable new option already on our Macs (the ones with OS X Yosemite, anyway). Coupled with iCloud Photo Library, Photos (free, Mac) keeps all our high-resolution images (and videos, should you want them) in the cloud, available at all times from OS X and iOS devices. Although it may not be as powerful as Aperture, Photos is a great deal faster and more capable than iPhoto. The only thing missing is support for plug-ins or extensions, but Apple announced that's on the way with OS X El Capitan this fall. For many readers, Photos will be all you'll ever need. If you don't need the complete control (and occasional complexity) of Aperture, iPhoto (free, Mac) gets the job done quite well in just a few clicks of the mouse. Although it will soon be replaced by an all-new Photos app, iPhoto's auto-enhance tool makes any photo look great in a single click, and the unified library means you can jump into Aperture to make pro corrections, then right back into iPhoto. There's also rich Facebook integration and iCloud Photo Sharing available, but those who prefer print can create some pretty awesome photo books and letterpress cards as well. And did we mention it's absolutely free? 3. Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 (Mac) has been working overtime in recent months to become a home for orphaned Aperture users, thanks to a built-in migration tool that makes it easy to switch. Smart Previews allow users to edit low-resolution files on the go and have changes automatically applied to original images when an external drive is mounted, along with pro tools like Advanced Healing Brush, Upright, and Radial Gradient borrowed from the more expensive Photoshop. Creative Cloud members ($9.99 per month and up) can also sync Lightroom 5 images with a mobile app, putting the most-used image editing tools in the palm of your hands. 4. Photoshop Elements 13 Like iPhoto, Photoshop Elements 13 ($99.99, Mac) is for users who want Aperture or Lightroom-style results in just a few clicks. The latest version makes it easy to create photo remixes or mashups, pick the best composition, and offers more comprehensive selection tools while offering five variants for each effect you want to apply. Facebook junkies will love the app's profile and cover photo creation options, while Guided Edits and Slideshows have been improved and Elements Live delivers creative ideas, tips, tricks, and help without having to leave the software. 5. Pixelmator 3.3 Pixelmator 3.3 ($29.99, Mac) delivers Photoshop-class tools in a package only a fraction of the price, including powerful, pixel-accurate selection tools, top-notch painting, drawing, and retouching options, more than 160 effects, and an elegant collection of professional-grade color correction tools. The latest version adds complete support for OS X Yosemite (including Handoff and iCloud Drive), and also works hand-in-hand with Pixelmator for iPad for seamlessly creating and editing images on the go, while retaining the option to further enhance them back on the desktop. Best of all, there's full support for layered Photoshop PSD files, and images can even be imported from iPhoto or Aperture. 6. Snapheal 2.5 If your photo editing needs lean more toward restoration or retouching, Snapheal 2.5 (Mac) provides a deliriously simple UI with the ability to remove unwanted objects like magic, or adjust shadows and highlights on dark or overexposed images. With Snapheal Pro ($39.99 or $19.99 upgrade), the application can even be run as a plug-in inside Photoshop, Lightroom, Photoshop Elements, or Aperture, adding improved image editing algorithms and a Blur brush with selective masking. 7. Capture One 7 Capture One 7 ($49.50 for Express/$299 for Pro, Mac) is the offering from Phase One, a manufacturer of remarkably expensive medium-format digital cameras. Its software also works with consumer models, though, and Capture One Express is the cheaper option. It claims to have a particularly fast workflow coupled with the best image quality of all editing software, but Aperture and Lightroom don't trail too far behind. 8. DxO Optics Pro DxO Optics Pro ($99 for Standard/$199 for Elite, Mac) has a rather scientific approach to image editing, and its selling point is that it claims to correct the flaws introduced to images by camera lenses better than other software. 9. GIMP (Free, Mac) is completely free, and more like Photoshop Elements in Expert mode than any of the others. In the past, it suffered from poor documentation and an unintuitive layout, but now has built-in help, a downloadable manual, online tutorials, and a customizable interface. The Mac version of the app even comes bundled with a raw-image-processing plugin. Get started on GIMP with this guide! 10. Perfect Presets for Camera Raw Perfect Presets for Camera Raw (Free, Mac) packs 140 filters for Adobe Camera Raw that let you apply tweaks without ever touching a manual tool. It's perfect for beginners. 11. Tiffen Dfx 4 Sometimes, all that's needed to make a good photo great is throwing on a filter or two. Tiffen Dfx 4 simulates the look of more than 2,000 award-winning glass filters, delivering 134 digital equivalents and more presets than you can shake a stick at. The latest version adds borders, cartoon, and colorize gradient options, curves and selective detail adjustments, the ability to add grunge effects like film dirt, hair, stains, and scratches, and subtle new Pearlescent and Satin looks created especially with modern digital camera sensors in mind. Tiffen also offers Dfx in Photo Plug-in ($149.95, for Photoshop, Elements, Lightroom, and Aperture) or Video/Film Plug-in ($499.95, for After Effects, Premiere Pro, Avid, and Final Cut Pro) versions. 12. Analog Analog ($9.99, Mac) is a flexible tool for adding borders and effects that make your images look like they were taken with a film camera. 13. Adobe Photoshop Mix The desktop power of Photoshop comes to smartphones and tablets with Adobe Photoshop Mix (free, iOS), a non-destructive photo enhancement app that makes it drop-dead simple to cut objects out of images and combine them with other elements. There are also plenty of great looks on hand which can be applied to selections or entire images, and users can open Photoshop documents, individual PSD layers, or even photos from Lightroom Mobile. A free Creative Cloud membership is required to use Photoshop Mix; the latest 1.4.1 version adds smart auto crop technology for the iPad, as well as iOS 8 Touch Size support for more precise finger selections. 14. Hydra Express 3 Hydra Express 3 (Mac) combines images with different exposures for more tonal range, resulting in finer detail and greater impact. 15. Camera+ 6.1 Thanks to the arrival of iOS 8 extensions, Camera+ 6.1 (iOS) just became an iPhoneographer's best friend. No longer do users have to open the app and import an image to apply the awesome Clarity filter — once enabled, it's right there in the built-in Photos app, alongside all of the app's other awesome image editing options. Of course, if you don't use Apple's Camera app, this third-party solution offers a host of other improvements, including a front-facing flash mode for better selfies, touch exposure and focus, and sweet shooting modes like Stabilizer, Timer, and Burst. The latest version also delivers a new Pro quality setting, which processes and stores image in TIFF format with lossless compression. 16. Halftone 2 Sequels are rarely as good as the original, but Halftone 2 (iOS) really delivers the WHAM, BAM, POW! of classic comic books on your iPhone or iPad. There's plenty more here than just adding halftone dot patterns to your favorite photos: Creative options include captions, balloons, stamps, photo panels, page options, and even 720p HD movies, with a host of robust output formats including JPEG, PDF, comic-friendly CBZ, and MP4 video. There's even an experimental 3D anaglyph feature to create images from the bygone era of red and cyan glasses! 17. Sketch With complete control over contrast and brightness, and a range of presets to choose from, My Sketch (iOS) will convert your shots into convincing pencil and charcoal drawings, complete with realistic imperfections and scribbled edges. You can crop your images before you start work and export at a range of sizes. 18. Etchings 1.7 Restyle images for a unique textured look on your iPhone or iPad with Etchings 1.7 (iOS), which delivers 12 different styles and complete control over line width, color, and styling. With image exports up to 3300 x 3300, users can put the result on a virtual stamp, frame it, or use it elsewhere as a regular drawing. The latest version adds support for iPhone 6, as well as the option to etch images right from the built-in Photos app using iOS 8 extensions. 19. Rays As with the OS X plug-in, Rays (iOS) makes it easy to cast rays of light, which pass through brighter areas and are blocked by darker detail such as window frames or people. You can change the length, color, and opacity of the rays, and the brightness at which they kick in. 20. Preview Every Mac since the dawn of OS X has come with the Preview application. It doesn't get much attention, but it contains image-editing tools that shouldn't be ignored, especially as they come for free. It can import from cameras and scanners directly from its File menu. Its Tools menu can find options to resize your image, rotate and flip it, and even make adjustments to exposure and color. That's just a start, but be sure to investigate Automator, too, which can do great batch-processing. See more Applications how-to	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0016.json.gz/line3006

Smart Guides feature is fantastic Chic refreshed interface Scrub bar shows position in recording EDGE-friendly iPhone streaming option Saved lists great for laptop users Expensive as software-only For years, Elgato has been making the best software for watching TV on your Mac, and though others have tried to compete, EyeTV has always been the preeminent solution. Despite a lacklustre debut, The Tube from equinux has begun to show itself as a credible competitor, and the result of this competition is better software for us. Take, for example, EyeTV's new idea of saved channel lists. The idea is, if you regularly move your TV-receiving Mac from one location to another - work and home, say - you can tune your receiver into the channels available at each location and simply switch between them without having to rescan every time. The Tube has boasted this feature since its inception, so it's good to have it here at last. Repeats and series The biggest advance, however, is with scheduling repeating programmes for recording. One of the great things about services like Sky+, V+ and TiVo is that, with one click, you can have the system record an entire series, but the problem with this is that it requires all sorts of work at the back end of the electronic programme guide before you can do it. The system has to recognise that specific programmes are linked together into a series, and neither the over-the-air EPG nor the subscription EPG tvtv.co.uk that EyeTV users can access supports this. And while it has long been possible to create recurring recordings, these were dumb repeats that didn't make any allowances for changing schedules. Elgato's novel solution is to leverage the power of smart lists, just as we've seen in iTunes, iPhoto, Mail and Finder. So the idea is that you create a smart list with a bunch of variables - show name, episode title, actors, director, format, channel and the like - and it dynamically updates the list of programmes that match. You can have the system automatically record every programme that matches, and, if it's a series, keep only a certain number of the most recent recordings. And while it's still not as slick as a one-click, it does have an extra advantage that the likes of Sky+ doesn't. Record your favourites Let's say you love David Attenborough's nature programmes; simply tell EyeTV to record all programmes that contain 'David Attenborough'. Love the Coen brothers' movies? Just create a Smart Guide that lists 'Coen' in the directors field, and the system will automatically pick up any of their films whenever they appear on your EPG; it's a great way to catch stuff you like without scouring the lists. Other improvements are most obvious with sharing. Now not only can you share your EyeTV library with other users on your local network - though this gave us some problems - but there's support for streaming your recordings to an iPhone or iPod touch. Though this iPhone streaming debuted in EyeTV 2.5, the problem was that most consumer broadband packages lacked sufficient upstream bandwidth to stream recordings; EyeTV 3 offers the option for encoding the content at lower quality that now not only uploads over consumer ADSL but can also stream to the iPhone even over an EDGE connection. You wouldn't want to use it for movies, but it's fine for news and the like. Also new to this version is optional password protection. equinux promises a similar system with its yet-to-ship TubeToGo solution, though in that case, the recordings are automatically uploaded to a server of yours so the same upstream constraint has less relevance. The interface has been spruced up, inheriting the collapsible hierarchical system used in iTunes and Leopard's Finder, and the full-screen menus now overlay the playing video with some handy options, including the ability to scan your entire channel list for programmes showing now and next. You'll still need some tuner hardware, and given that the EyeTV for DTT costs £20 less than the software on its own, it makes sense not to buy a third-party tuner and add EyeTV 3. The upgrade costs £30, and while this is not cheap, the Smart Guides feature alone is worth the cost; you may even be eligible for a free upgrade depending on when you bought your tuner.

__label__wiki	0.972428	0.972428	FDOT considers transit, other options for improving Fowler Avenue in USF area Fowler Avenue is a main corridor in the university area and could see changes in the future, perhaps even elevated lanes. [LENORA LAKE \| Special to the Times] By Lenora Lake, Times Correspondent TAMPA — A new study eventually could lead to better traffic flow on Fowler Avenue while offering a variety of transportation options. The $500,000 study, to take up to 18 months, focuses on the University Area and the University of South Florida. It is one part of a plan to look at "how people move" in Hillsborough County, said Ed McKinney, district planning and environmental administrator for the Florida Department of Transportation. "We came to the realization we had to look at everything, transit, local streets, local connectors," said McKinney, describing the plan that became known as Tampa Bay Next — an effort to modernize transportation infrastructure and prepare for the future. Officials received push-back from neighborhoods affected by earlier plans, known as Tampa Bay Express or TBX, which focused on adding 90 miles of toll roads to Interstates 4, 75 and 275. For the north Tampa area, the center of focus now is Fowler Avenue, said Ming Gao, modal development administrator with FDOT in Tampa. Currently, 53,000 cars carrying residents, tourists, employees and students travel on Fowler Avenue each day past the University of South Florida. By 2040, FDOT projects the number will rise to about 80,000 a day, McKinney said. One consideration that might drive the discussion, he said, is whether USF builds a new football stadium in the area. "We are looking at planning for a transit spine — where you can connect regional service to local service," he said. "Fowler Avenue is a major corridor." Those connections could come in many forms, but one idea being explored is creating elevated express lanes on Fowler Avenue to Interstate 75. The university area already has a number of transportation options including Bull Runner buses for USF students and shuttles for hospital employees who park off-site. "We want to make things more efficient as transportation is not coordinated now," Ming said. The dense population in the area also is conducive to transit use, Gao said. But currently, most bus riders there have no other transportation options. "What we have to do is have choice riders," McKinney said. They might include people staying at the hotel on campus, Gao said: "We need to show people staying at Embassy Suites that they don't need to drive their car to Busch Gardens." Tampa Bay Next also is working with the nonprofit !P: Potential Unleashed, headed by former Hillsborough County Commissioner Mark Sharpe. The organization seeks to create a North Tampa innovation district where people work, play, study and stay. Sharpe said he supports plans to enhance Fowler Avenue and the transit options. "We are partnering with the state and other agencies to explore the complete transformation of Fowler Avenue from what it is today, to what we intend it to become — a livable, walkable, bike friendly, transit oriented, business friendly corridor," Sharpe said. Clarence Eng, a member of !P's advisory board who is heading the organization's involvement in the project, said transportation options are "critical to supporting the vitality of our economic centers, innovation districts and the region." McKinney said public stakeholder meetings and workshops will be scheduled. He also is speaking to groups including the University Area Community Development Corp. Partners Coalition. Many obstacles remain, McKinney said, including site selections for connection points, environmental studies, coordination between the city of Tampa and Hillsborough County — one side of Fowler Avenue lies in each — and funding. "Everything around this area is growing and changing," he said. "Technology must play a role in connecting all of it, too." So when might people get to use the new transportation options envisioned for the area? "I couldn't see anything happening for 10 years or so," McKinney said. "But that could change if things change, like USF getting a stadium on campus." Contact Lenora Lake at hillsnews@tampabay.com.

__label__wiki	0.982609	0.982609	If Mack is out, USF's Tice and Johnson can carry load Darius Tice and D’Ernest Johnson bring different facets to the Bulls’ backfield but recorded nearly identical statistics last week against Towson: Johnson ran six times for 33 yards; Tice six for 32. By Joey Knight Published Sep. 10, 2016 TAMPA — Arguably no nickname in USF's locker room comes off as fitting as the one junior Marlon Mack, junior D'Ernest Johnson and senior Darius Tice have given themselves. Three-headed monster. The label conjures images of sideshows nudged in the dark corners of county fairs. Abnormalities. Deviations from the norm. To be sure two-thirds of this running back triumvirate, Johnson and Tice, ooze aberration. You don't see guys like them anymore. "I think the average fan really don't respect them as much as Marlon Mack just because the name he's got for himself," senior left tackle Kofi Amichia said. Since Mack debuted by running for 275 yards against Western Carolina in the 2014 season opener, the other two have been rendered supporting players. Only one guy can be the bell cow, and that's Mack, whose 2,480 career rushing yards are more than double Johnson and Tice's combined total (1,217). So the duo contributes whenever and wherever the need arises, in spurts marked by velocity and versatility. That need could spike this evening. "I know Marlon's the headliner and all those things," Bulls first-year offensive line coach Darren Hiller said. "But D'Ernest and Darius … this is Year 22 (of coaching) for me, and those two guys can play for a lot of people in the country at running back." Yet here they remain, nestled between Fletcher and Fowler avenues, continuing to toil on the greenest pasture they've ever sought. The transfer rate among Division I football players never has seemed higher. Strangely, neither has the combined morale of Johnson and Tice, who have three combined career starts. "We're all pushing each other and making each other better," Johnson said. "I just stayed here because I love the school and love the coaches. I just love all my teammates here." Aberration, indeed. Tonight against Northern Illinois, the pair's perseverance might be rewarded. Or to look at it another way, the Bulls might be rewarded with the pair's perseverance. Mack went through a concussion protocol this week and has practiced in a noncontact jersey. If he doesn't play, the Bulls don't believe they'll miss a step. "I think it speaks to what we've been saying all year long, that we have a lot more depth than what we've had before," coach Willie Taggart said. "Marlon Mack is a great running back, but you've got to remember his backups make him the great running back that he is," free safety Devin Abraham added. "D'Ernest Johnson, Darius Tice, they're both really well-rounded backs. They can play ball. They can run the ball just like Marlon." Well, maybe not just like him. The styles and skill sets differ to a degree. Johnson (5 feet 10, 208 pounds) is the most versatile of the group, and arguably the backfield's best pass-catching option. The three-way standout at Immokalee High has scored touchdowns running, passing and receiving for USF; last week he returned punts and covered kickoffs. Tice (5-10, 211) frequently materializes in goal-line and short-yardage situations but possesses the burst to pop a long one. In last week's 56-20 rout of Towson, the Miami Northwestern alumnus took a pass in the backfield — some insist it was a backward lateral — from Quinton Flowers and raced for a 43-yard touchdown. "Darius Tice, he can run you over and shake you off the field," Amichia said. "When I see him get open field in the second level, I already know we're about to hit for about 30 yards. And D'Ernest, you can see with all of his preseason awards (Paul Hornung Award watch list), he's a pretty all-around guy. So when he's out there, you can do whatever." Call it a luxury of options, borne of loyalty. Tice, a Class 6A second-team all-state pick as a Northwestern senior, said the only recruiting promise Taggart ever made to him was that "if you go out and work hard, then everything comes to you."

"I had some unfortunate situations when I first came; I got nicked up, I got hurt and stuff, things you can't control," Tice said. "But for the most part, Coach T and the coaching staff have been 100 percent real for me. … I'm a loyal guy, and I stay loyal to those guys." As a result, the only backfield transfer they're discussing these days involves workload. From Mack to Tice and Johnson. "If Marlon plays we're gonna be excited," Taggart said.

Greg Couch PIO Teller County, CO, June 12, 2019– The Teller County Sheriff’s Office took a unique approach to homeless camps today with its partnership with a non-profit group known as “Focus on the Forest” and affected land-owners. For months, rural areas of Teller County have seen an increase in homeless encampments popping up along Rampart Range, Gold Camp, and Shelf Road. In an attempt to mitigate the dangers posed by homeless camps having open fires for heat and the hundreds of pounds of refuse which typically gets blown by the wind and scattered by animals, the Teller County Sheriff’s Office has embarked on a slightly different approach to the problem. “We acknowledge and empathize with folks who find themselves in circumstances which may be beyond their control in securing a place to live. We also understand that we have discretion as law enforcement officers and can approach the issue from a compassionate, community-based perspective,” Commander Greg Couch said. The issue began some time ago when several homeless camps sprung up in area known as “Shelf Road or County Road 88,” part of a tourist area known as the “Gold Belt Scenic Byway.” It is located just outside of Cripple Creek in Teller County. There were multiple piles of trash left by previous illegal campers and new piles of refuse as a result of living without trash service. The area is boasted as the “Roads to Riches” and spans from U.S. Highway 24 to U.S. Highway 50 and features “distinct scenery ranging from rolling mountain parklands to deep rocky canyons.” 1 Shelf Road carried stagecoaches from the mining camps of Cripple Creek and Victor to the Arkansas Valley in the late 1800’s. Upon learning of the issue, TCSO met with local landowners including a Denver-area woman, Newmont Mining Corporation and Ryan Blevins who all own property that was affected by the trash pileup. Mr. Blevins proposed a community-based solution that hinged on a few stipulations. The homeless campers were advised of Teller County’s recently passed camping ordinance three weeks ago, given time to find another dedicated campsite, and supplied with trash bags from Focus on the Forest to pick up their area. In exchange for the extra warning time and consideration, the campers agreed to help with the cleanup. TCSO recently assigned a deputy to a “homeless liaison position” in order to direct those in need to public assistance resources and ensure compliance with local ordinances. TCSO plans to build upon its relationship with Focus on the Forest and will continue to offer balanced responses to the unfortunate homeless issues in the county.

Hong Kong police use water cannon in latest clashes \| &nbspPhoto Credit:&nbspAP, File Image Hong Kong: Hong Kong police used water cannon for the first time Sunday, raising the stakes against protesters who have staged sometimes violent rallies that have rocked the city for the past three months. Officers were also seen with drawn sidearms as protesters clashed with police in the district of Tsuen Wan after a rally at a nearby sports stadium. The financial hub has been gripped by mass rallies that were initially against a proposed extradition bill to China, but have spun into a wider pro-democracy movement targeting the pro-Beijing government. As thousands of people marched in the pouring rain to Tsuen Wan, a group of hardcore protesters erected makeshift roadblocks and dug up bricks from the pavements. After firing tear gas in an attempt to disperse the crowds, police drove water cannon vehicles onto the streets, unfurling signs warning protesters they would deploy the jets if they did not leave. The jets were later fired from the moving trucks towards a crowd of protesters who ran away, but hardcore group of protesters later threw bricks and Molotov cocktails in violent confrontations with riot police. There were no immediate reports of injuries. Police had previously said the vehicles, complete with surveillance cameras and multiple spray nozzles, would only be used in the event of a "large-scale public disturbance". Throughout the protests, Beijing has used a mix of intimidation, propaganda and economic muscle to constrict the protests in a strategy dubbed "white terror" by the movement. The MTR - the city's metro - is the latest Hong Kong enterprise to face public censure, after appearing to bend to Chinese state-media attacks accusing the transport system of being an "exclusive" service to ferry protesters to rallies. On Sunday the MTR shut stations near the main demonstration area in Tsuen Wan, in the second day of station closures in-a-row. "However bleak our future is, we're trying to express ourselves rationally," said Peter, in his 20s, before the clashes began. "We have faith in ourselves and we have faith in our city that some day our demands will be answered." A second rally in the afternoon of a few hundred people - some of them family members of police - criticised the government for leaving officers to handle the brunt of the crisis, while also calling for an independent investigation into the police handling of the protests. "I believe within these two months, police have got enough opprobrium," said a woman who asked not to be named and said she was a police officer's wife. The city's officers are often the focus of protesters' anger because of their perceived heavy handling of the rallies. Ten people were left in hospital after Saturday's clashes - two in a serious condition - staff said, without detailing if they were police or protesters. On Saturday police baton-charged protesters and fired tear gas, while demonstrators threw rocks and bottles later into the night in a working-class neighbourhood. Protesters say Hong Kong's unique freedoms are in jeopardy as Beijing tightens its political chokehold on the semi-autonomous city. The city had appeared to have pulled back from a sharp nosedive into violence, with the last serious confrontation taking place more than a week ago, shortly after protests paralysed the airport.

__label__wiki	0.717956	0.717956	Timeline created by Andrew1001 Paper was invented in second century C.E. The earliest paper was made from hemp and then the bark of the mulberry tree. Later, the Chinese used rags. Paper was one of the most important inventions of all time. The first Chinese timelines were pieces of a magnetic mineral called lodestone. Earth itself acts like a giant magnet with north and south poles. The lodestone was influenced by Earth's magnetic poles. Paddleboat In the 5th century, the Chinese adapted this idea by arranging a series of paddles in a wheel. People walked on a treadmill to turn the paddlewheel, which in turn moved through the water, moving the boat forward. Jan 1, 618 Segmental Arched Bridge A Chinese engineer created a bridge that used arches that were a smaller part of a circle. These bridges took less material than semicircle arch bridges, and were stronger. The Chinese invented a technique called woodblock printing. The printer first drew characters on paper. He then glued the paper to a wooden block.When the glue was dry, the printer carved out the wood around the characters, leaving the characters raised on the wood. To print from the block, the printer covered the characters with black ink. Tea was created and became a popular everyday drink. It was also used as medicine. Tea haouses had sprung up around the country. Feb 18, 750 Mechanical Clock The Chinese devised a wheel that made one complete turn every 24 hours. Dripping water made the wheel turn. Every quarter hour, drums would beat, and every hour, bells would chime. Before the invention of paper money, coins were the only form of currency. Paper money was printed with wood blocks. Paper money is now the most common form of currency in the world. Printers used woodblock printing to make the cards from thick paper. Famous artists drew the design on the backs of the cards.

The castigation happened last week at the launch of Bank of Botswana Annual Report and economic briefing which was headed by Governor Moses Pelaelo. According to the central bank, the perennial lackluster performance of the NDB and the funded businesses/projects as evidenced by the number, value and persistence of non-performing loans and capital erosion, broadly suggests suboptimal contribution and value addition to the country’s economic performance. “There is, therefore, a concern that the performance of NDB has been well below expectations and its potential not fully exploited; hence suboptimal contribution to the industrial effort,” the bank also wrote in its annual report. NDB focuses on lending to various industries and agriculture, and has more recently covered the household sector. It is funded by Government, augmented by borrowing from domestic banks and external entities. NDB is also responsible for professional project/ proposal evaluation, disciplined monitoring of use of resources and business activity, guidance and performance support. BoB however said these aspects are evidently lacking in the case of the NDB, hence the lackluster performance of funded projects, weak loan recovery and a recurrence of financial losses which, ultimately, are borne by the Government. The bank said chief among the reasons for low achievement by NDB are the weak enforcement of loan recovery and apparent acquiescence by Government in facilitating recurring recapitalisation, not conditioned on demonstrable effective managerial performance and a viable and sustainable recovery strategy. “In the circumstances, it is clear that a refocus is needed to enable the bank to play a meaningful role in the execution of the industrialisation strategy. This is achievable to the extent that resources continually availed to NDB add to economic expansion and vibrant activity,” BoB announced. Evidence in this regard, said the bank, should be easily demonstrated by viability of the NDB funded projects and businesses that generate positive returns and are able to pay back loans; facilitating going concern for the bank and less need for recapitalisation to cover for losses. The last time NDB made profit was in 2013, when it made P45 million. Its troubles began in 2014, when it struck P161 million impairment, driven by a rise in Non-Performing Loans (NPLs). The rise in impairment was because the high risk projects that NDB finances without guarantee or collateral underperformed and the clients were unable to pay NDB. Losses then shot to P87 million. NDB losses were lower at P48.7 million in 2015, while impairments were at P83 million. In 2016 the bank made P21 .2 million in losses before shooting up significantly to P168.6 in 2017. CEDA was not spared, in 2018, its total loan book amounted to P1.4 billion, compared to commercial bank business lending (excluding parastatals) of P22 billion. CEDA, according to BoB has assisted more than 6 000 businesses with 57 000 jobs created since its inception. However, BoB said CEDA’s lending has been relatively unsustainable, as evidenced by high Non-Performing-Loans (NPLs) of 37.6 percent of total loans ratio in 2012, and many foreclosures, about 9.2 percent of total loans in 2012. This occurs despite the collaboration with business, product and market development and skills development and mentoring institutions, such as Local Enterprises Authority (LEA), intended to enhance viability and prospects for business proposals, according to the banking sector regulator. “There is, therefore, need to reassess prospects for enhanced contribution by CEDA to industrialisation, particularly in relation to the identified sectors and related value chains. Among the key considerations, in this regard, is the potential for the CEDA set up to be integrated with the cluster industrialisation strategy and the Special Economic Zones. Along with NDB, there is an option to outsource development and industrialisation funds (especially short-term elements) to commercial banks, where there are better project evaluation, monitoring and loan recovery processes.” Further, CEDA has for the past four years failed to submit audited financial results to the Auditor General, Pulane Letebele for review. In her latest report for the year ending 31st March 2018, Letebele said CEDA CEO Thabo Thamane said he is unable to submit the audited accounts for the year under review as the audit for the previous year i.e. 2016/2017, is yet to be finalised. “I am concerned that this is the fourth year running that the Agency has not been able to submit the required accounts for my review,” she said.

__label__cc	0.520876	0.479124	Balancing climate and energy policy, the Trans Mountain pipeline is the right decision for Canada Ed Whittingham Contributed to The Globe and Mail Published June 18, 2019 Updated June 19, 2019 This article was published more than 6 months ago. Some information in it may no longer be current. Ed Whittingham is an environmental policy expert. In April, he resigned from the board of the Alberta Energy Regulator. He was the former executive director of the Pembina Institute. I’m an Alberta environmentalist who has worked the past 15 years to promote responsible development of Canada’s oil and gas resources and effective climate and energy policy. Mine may be a minority view within the environmental community, but I support the federal government’s approval of twinning the existing Trans Mountain Pipeline. It is the right decision for Alberta and Canada. In late 2015, Alberta took the biggest step forward to address the climate crisis taken by any jurisdiction – period. I was on stage with an Indigenous chief, environmental leaders and chief executives of Canada’s largest energy companies, symbolically holding hands, as Alberta’s then-premier Rachel Notley outlined an ambitious and transformative climate leadership plan: phase out coal-fired electricity, massively increase renewable electricity, expand carbon pricing, reduce methane emissions, introduce energy efficiency programs and cap oil sands emissions. With these policies, Alberta set out to decarbonize its economy and industries as much and as fast as it could while creating new jobs in the process. Shortly thereafter, during the 2015 UN climate summit in Paris, dumbstruck attendees marvelled at the composition of the stage given the level of conflict that existed around Alberta’s oil sands. “How on Earth did you get everyone to stand on that stage together?” we were asked, as if we had defied the laws of physics. The answer: the expectation that by doing its fair share on climate change, Alberta would satisfy a critically important condition for building a pipeline to tidewater, in order to receive a world price for its oil. That’s what I thought then and what I still think today. Opinion: Questions on Trans Mountain, USMCA and ethics could decide Liberals’ fate in fall election Liberal government reapproves Trans Mountain pipeline expansion Coalition vows renewed fight against Trans Mountain as First Nations seeking stake applaud green light That’s what Prime Minister Trudeau thought, too. When announcing federal approval of the Trans Mountain expansion in late 2016, he said “We could not have approved this project without the leadership of Premier Notley, and Alberta’s Climate Leadership Plan – a plan that commits to pricing carbon and capping oil sands emissions at 100 megatonnes per year.” Now, in 2019, there’s a new government in Alberta that has promised to dismantle parts of the Climate Leadership Plan. So how can I, a card-carrying Canadian climate-policy advocate, continue to support this particular pipeline? While the Climate Leadership Plan may be gone, the federal government has ensured that its two key climate-related approval conditions remain in place. Last week, the federal government stated that it’s committed to making sure the carbon price in Alberta stays. Every single dollar of carbon tax revenue taken in will still be injected back into the Alberta economy – for rebates, transit projects, flood prevention infrastructure, and energy-efficiency upgrades at schools, hospitals and colleges. Further, the Trudeau government has made it clear that it expects Alberta to follow through with the 100 megatonne oil sands emissions limit, and if not, we can expect that a federal limit will be put in place. When was the last time an oil sands flyover by a Hollywood celebrity was in the news? Can’t remember? That’s because, compared with a few years ago, we’ve clearly shifted the debate about Albertans doing their part to address climate change. The precedent-setting cap is a big part of the shift and ground we cannot afford to lose. I also support TMX expansion because it creates financial space for options as we continue to decarbonize Alberta’s economy and industries. Energy evolution is hard for any company, province or entire country. To be clear, a pipeline is no panacea for all that ails Alberta’s oil and gas industry. But it will definitely strengthen balance sheets, and financial health is needed for Alberta to evolve. It gives us options, whereas when our economic backs are pinned up against the wall we have few. Understanding this, the federal government also committed to reinvesting the proceeds of the operation and eventual sale of the pipeline into clean-energy transition. This will help. Alberta’s strength is in energy. The province has a work force that can develop advanced fuels and renewable electricity. It’s all at our fingertips, but the transition takes investment and can’t leave citizens behind. Alberta’s carbon intensive industries will only reduce their emissions if the regulatory and carbon pricing regimes put in place are maintained and eventually strengthened. The Kenney government needs to understand this. Doing so will allow us to continue to lower the carbon emissions from the hydrocarbons in TMX, as we must, and also continue the history of energy innovation in Alberta toward the affordable low-carbon future we need. It’s key to our energy industry’s global competitiveness. All things considered, Ottawa made the right decision. Keep your Opinions sharp and informed. Get the Opinion newsletter. Sign up today.

A new study finds that may not just be a coincidence. Photo: Tim Marshall/Unsplash We’ve all been there. You look at your buddy and audibly say, “One more?” or maybe you just put up an index finger with a quizzical look and your friend responds with a nod. And then, regardless if waves were coming in consistently or not, the ocean goes flat. Well, according to new research from the Scripps Institute of Oceanography, turns out even if you’re surfing alone and simply think about the idea of getting one more wave, the ocean knows. In the study published this week in the journal Telepathic Ocean, researchers Arnold Grey and Janine Aaron explain they studied nearly 100 surfers during countless sessions from California to New Jersey, Ireland to Australia and found the same thing with nearly 94 percent accuracy. “Nearly every time our subjects said to themselves they would get one more wave before paddling in, the ocean would completely shut down for at least ten minutes. Sometimes as long as an hour,” Aaron told me. “What that means in my mind is the ocean has a strange connection to people who spend a lot of time there,” she continued. “I’m not going to say the ocean can read your mind, but our results are enough to say this isn’t just coincidence.” Buzzy Wallop, a Melbourne-based surfer who participated in the study, says that the results simply confirm something he’s always known to be true. “The ocean is a jealous mistress,” he said. “Doesn’t matter if it’s work, family, friends, whatever you must end a session to tend to, she doesn’t want you to leave. That’s why she hates to let you get that last wave.” Surfers themselves, Grey and Aaron initially became interested in this question during a morning at Scripps Pier. Longtime ocean research partners, they often surf together before heading into the lab. One morning Grey asked Aaron if she wanted to get one more wave and she said yes. Then the pair waited for over forty-five minutes for a set to come. Joking about their bad luck in the parking lot, a local surfer overheard them and said the same thing always happens to him too and wondered aloud why that is. Always up for a challenge, the pair found their next research inquiry. “It seems to be universal that this happens,” said Grey. “I hesitate to say the ocean ‘hears’ us in the typical sense we understand it. But, there’s something here. It’s weird.” Editor’s Note: Johnny Utah is an “Eff-Bee-Eye” agent and an expert in works of satire.

__label__cc	0.686214	0.313786	noticeably night time If you live in a residential area, then the peak traffic on the cell station will be about 6pm to 10pm. - More traffic = higher radiation. - Lower traffic = lower radiation Before 6pm, people tend to be outside or at work. After 10pm, people tend to go to sleep. So what do you mean by "night time"? I have answered this before. The peak power takes place when there are shorted or fewer connections. When connected, the cell phones and the tower talk to each other to reduce their power. This is in agreement with my meter. If people told you not to do something because they had linked it causally to something else, but had only rumors to back them up, you would ignore them, I suppose. When 300 Spanish got sicked by some brand of olive oil, you would have ignored them and put it on your salad. You have mistaken 2 for 300. also, as I have pointed out, whenever anyone has actually done real science on this, it turns out not to be real. Also the wiki page on the incident says this "Once the origin of the syndrome was realised, public health officials organized an exchange programme, whereby those who had bought the oil could exchange it for pure olive oil, " which rather undermines this bit of your "story". They never "proved" it was a particular brand because the problem was over before they could take samples. doesn't it? and, since they point out that "It was then imported as cheap industrial oil by the company RAPSA at San Sebastián, handled by RAELCA, and illegally refined by ITH in Seville " it's clear that they do know what brand it is. And re You found one of the fake news science tests. Do you believe every study you ever came read? How do you tell the difference between studies that contradict one another? Once you start saying the BMJ is fake news, you stop sounding remotely credible. BMJ is generally credible but not entirely immune from confirmation bias (referees generally approve papers that support their prejudices) prefiltering (it takes a brave or at least selfemployed scientist to proffer a paper that disproves his sponsor's working hypothesis, or demonstrates "no effect" from an RCT) and preselection (I wouldn't offer an article supporting MMR vaccination to a journal like What Doctors Don't Tell You). The best hoaxes and bogus results are those that made the lead article in Nature. Ultimately it's a case of caveat lector. The peak power takes place when there are shorted ... connections. What is a "shorted" connection? "Shorted" normally means a "short circuit", which only happens in wires; however, here we are talking about wireless mobile. When connected, the cell phones and the tower talk to each other to reduce their power. This is correct. They only use enough power to overcome the attenuation and interference in the wireless path. If they used more than the minimum necessary power, they would: - Shorten battery life in the cellphone, with no benefit - Consume more power in the base station, increasing costs for the operator (and ultimately, the consumer), with no benefit - Increase interference to more distant users, who would, in turn, have to increase their transmit power, etc... The peak power takes place when there are ... fewer connections. I don't understand the basis of this claim. - For all the above reasons, you don't want to use more than the minimum necessary power. - So why would they intentionally waste power when there are few users to benefit from it? Perhaps you are confusing two other actions: - Searching for new devices that have just been turned on inside the cell coverage area. But this search happens all the time. - A cell handover from an adjacent cell. By definition, these users are on the edge of the cell, with higher attenuation, and need more power. But at nighttime (after 10pm), there are fewer people using the network, and fewer cell handovers. This is in agreement with my meter. How does your meter count the number of active users? How does your meter count "shorted" connections (whatever that is)? Now, answer the question: Quote from: evan_au You need to tell us about when the symptoms were experienced at night. And tell us about how the radiated power varied during the night. The damage to my mental ability is showing. I normally have to proof-read every post multiple times to get rid of errors. And although there was some decline before the mast I am now experiencing a lot of difficulty with words, spelling and grammar. It has been quite noticeable and dramatic. I meant shorter connections. Clearly a more distant connection requires more power. When the vehicle traffic is high and going past our house there are many connections that last more than a minute or two. That mean many short distance connections operating at low power. At night (10 pm to 5 am), the tower is "roaming" to find connections and let cell devices know it is there. It does this at high power. The pulsations are also worse because the transmissions may not be at full "capacity" where each time slot is operational. This means higher peak power at night time. Of course, the cell companies keep such data and operational details away from the public. It is not general knowledge. The experiences were at about 2 to 4 am. The meter has a "peak" reading and an "rms" reading. The peak readings were much higher than at other times, thus confirming what I have said. Given that pulsations are the most biologically dangerous it also make sense that these were the worst times. The longer low power and the more intense high power gives a pulse frequency that may cause muscle nerves to "oscillate" thus giving the sensation of "vibration". The obvious experiment will be for Clive to record his symptoms without having access to any EM field data, and for a third party to correlate them with independently recorded field data. It is unreasonable to expect 100% correlation with any alleged causative parameter but fairly easy to establish a probability of causation. Some years ago a colleague was called as expert witness in a claim that a "health-giving laser" did not work. The manufacturer asserted that he could detect the beneficial effect on his skin when blindfolded. My chum noted that the machine emitted a buzz when the laser was active so, having established a positive correlation between "laser on" and "I can feel it", he first placed a bible (always available in a court of law) between the source and the skin, then pointed the laser away from the skin. Still 100% correlation. Costs awarded to the customer. At night (10 pm to 5 am), the tower is "roaming" to find connections and let cell devices know it is there. It does this at high power. I agree, it must scan around to locate devices that have just been turned on. But it does this just as often during the day. And only a fraction of these scans will be aimed in your direction - most of the cell service area will require beaming the signal above your house = less exposure for you. The pulsations are also worse because the transmissions may not be at full "capacity" where each time slot is operational. I agree that one way to save power at low traffic times is to combine as much traffic as possible onto a few timeslots, leaving the transmitter idle in the "vacant" timeslots. But the peak power is just as high as during the day. - The average power is just lower at night - So you are saying that less exposure causes more symptoms? That does not sound like much of a correlation. Does your meter continually log power to a file, or is it manual, and you look at it when you are woken by the symptoms? That has already been done if you have been reading my posts. I got lot of symptoms over a few months before I bought the meter. At that time, I thought the tower was radiating over our head and not directly at us as it turned out. When the tower was turned on illegally my wife said she had a "tower headache" and the meter confirmed she was right. The night time symptoms happen first and then are confirmed with the meter. Note - in all cases the meter confirms the symptoms. Why do I need 24 hour data collection (although I would have like it)? I have taken enough readings are various times to see the pattern. A number of them were after the symptoms like the night readings. I will answer the next post to give numbers as to why night time is worse. How does this even remotely correlate to your anecdote? We all know the power of suggestion - which is missing in our case. Yesterday I had to work on my car outside in the full radiation from 10 am to 1pm. I had head and leg protection on. Afterward I felt okay - but it was just delayed. At 5 pm I got terrible stomach pains - like eating broken glass. Lasted a few hours. Once more - consistency. You are correct that I am wrong that 300 got sick. The fact is that 300 died. 20,000 got sick with many having chronic illnesses afterward. 1981 The Spanish Toxic Oil Syndrome. See researchgate.net/publication/11366790_The_Spanish_Toxic_Oil_Syndrome_20_Years_after_Its_Onset_A_Multidisciplinary_Review_of_Scientific_Knowledge In 1981, in Spain, the ingestion of an oil fraudulently sold as olive oil caused an outbreak of a previously unrecorded condition, later known as toxic oil syndrome (TOS)... Of the 20,000 persons affected, approximately 300 died shortly after the onset of the disease and a larger number developed chronic disease...Attempts to reproduce the condition in laboratory animals have been unsuccessful, and no condition similar to TOS has been reported in the scientific literature. wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_oil_syndrome says that 600 people died. I am not sure which site you looked at. So you would have put the olive oil on your salad even as people around you were reporting illness and death due to bad oil? Oil that was never proven to sicken? And that no mechanism could be found because human testing is illegal? The BMJ published the "Danish Cohort Study" which came to the conclusion that there was no effect from cell phones. Although still widely used by the industry and others it has been thoroughly discredited as "bad science". When the numbers are properly adjusted it does show an effect. Here is one article summarizing the criticism. ehtrust.org/science/danish-cohort-cell-phone-and-cancer-study/ ...The Danish Cohort study was established with support from two Danish telecom operating companies—TeleDenmark Mobil (partially owned by SBC Communications, which is Denmark’s largest phone company) and Sonafon. ...The study was conducted by the industry-friendly International Epidemiology Institute (IEI) known as an industry defense firm ...Leszczynski published an opinion in The Scientist magazine entitled Scientific Peer Review in Crisis. The case of the Danish Cohort“ asking “How is it possible that the British Medical Journal allowed such a poor quality peer review?” and “Why, once alerted to serious design flaws by readers, have BMJ editors not taken any action? ...As an example of this corporate commissioned science, IEI scientists Boice and McLaughlin published a study on the mortality of aircraft manufacturing workers and found “no clear evidence” (First in 1999 with a 2011 follow up). This study was funded by Lockheed Martin Corporation at a time when the aerospace firm faced “a slew of claims” related to health concerns. Lockheed Martin already had paid $60 million to residents and $33 million to workers in confidential out-of-court settlements. The company still claimed there was “no evidence.” PUBLISHED SCIENTIFIC ARTICLES ON THE FLAWS OF THE DANISH STUDY ...“Conclusions: Our analysis of the literature studies and of the results from meta-analyses of the significant data alone shows an almost doubling of the risk of head tumours induced by long-term mobile phone use or latency.” I think the BMJ panders to big corporates with regard to "fake news". There are multiple transmitters on the mast, all interacting. Let us take one. I assume that when dialing and trying to connect both the phone and the tower go to full power. Let us call that 100%. When connected, the phone and tower can go to very low power depending on the line of sight, interference from other signals and the amount of humidity in the air. Let us say that it could be 2% for a close signal. Since the tower pushes less power outward than it does downward, and does not “beam-form”, any phone or device that is not close will require more power when connected. Let us assume a figure of 20% for our house. One transmitter has eight time slots so we can allocate power depending on the number of close calls, far calls, ringing versus talking, and polling. 6:30 am Very high traffic going right past the front of our house. Assumptions - 10% is ringing and polling. 80% is close and connected. 10% is distant. 1 pm Not much traffic 20% is ringing and polling. 60% is close and connected. 20% is distant. 3 am Almost no traffic 80% is ringing and polling. 10% is close and connected. 10% is distant. This would give the following distributions over 100 time slots (Max power=100x100 =10,000) 10x100 + 80x2 + 10x20 = 1,260 Now the problem is compounded by the shape of the pulsation. If the max power was spread throughout the 100 time slots then one gets an occasional high pulse among the low. Say 9 low and 1 high repeated 10 times. The body deals with that. If at night, the highs are grouped together it might be possible to get 40 highs, 5 lows, 30 highs and 15 lows. The grouping of the peak power has a more intense effect on the body and the nerves, causing them to tension up, and then relax on the lows. It has already been verified by studies that less radiation can cause problems if the radiation has a certain pulsing characteristic. There seems to be a particular range and modulation and pattern that has to be present to cause symptoms. Science now has to play catch-up to identify those parameters. They also have to use human subjects. Since you (and many others) are convinced there is no harm I assume there is no ethical restriction to using you guys. You first need to be "sensitized" by a few months of exposure to a working tower with 3,000 uW/sqm peak. That too should not be a problem. Right? Perhaps throw in some fluoroquinolone pills for good measure. They are prescribed like candy here. I do not have any data on how the meter calculates the peak. I assume it has a response rate and then there is some averaging. This would be needed so to get rational readings despite the some maximum peaks of 100% being present at all times. The meter company would not answer my queries as to their algorithm and response times. The meter has no automatic features at all. Manual turn-on and measure. I doubt that. BMJ published the first reports linking smoking with lung cancer, and has been fairly forthright on seat belts. The problem with peer review is that it reflects the prejudices of the reviewers, who are generally academic rather than industrial scientists. Success in academia depends very much on consensus rather than innovation. From the other side of the fence, I can see that whilst innovative and revolutionary thinking in industry leads to profits, admitting a fault in your product can wipe out those profits, and thousands of jobs, in an instant, so a "quiet fix" is always preferable to a public confession. It has already been verified by studies that less radiation can cause problems if the radiation has a certain pulsing characteristic. No. All you have shown is that peak intensities cause transient phenomena. Beware of loose adjectives in science. Remember that the average depth of the Thames is only 3 ft, but many statisticians have drowned trying to walk across it. One of the more infamous "fake news" scientific articles. 13 years to retract. From a NZ paper about a child with measles: The paper Edward-Lasenby was seemingly referring to was published in the medical journal The Lancet in 1997, but was retracted in 2010 due to its incorrect elements and ethical violations, among other reasons. Explain please. I do not follow. (Not the drowning statisticians). Actually, now that I think about it, you have posted an example of where peaks are a problem compared to averages. If the Thames were 5 feet on average all the way across then there would be no drownings even though the average is much higher than a 3 ft average with peaks. Just reading this about out stone-age brains politico.com/magazine/story/2019/09/08/shawn-rosenberg-democracy-228045 We discount evidence when it doesn’t square up with our goals while we embrace information that confirms our biases. Sometimes hearing we’re wrong makes us double down. And so on and so forth. Are you guys guilty of doubling down a lot? I doubt that. BMJ published the first reports linking smoking with lung cancer Strictly speaking, the first ones were German. Buy a mirror. Do you realise that your position can be represented in exactly the same way? You discard the evidence that doesn't agree with your heart-felt belief. So, the fact that people do that (they fall for this glitch in human thinking) proves nothing about phones or harm from them. So why post it? And do you also recognise that you are saying that you are right and everybody else is wrong. Do you really think you are that clever? Issues like human cognitive bias and the placebo effect are exactly why we conduct proper trials under controlled conditions. And, when that research is published in respected journals you call it fake news. You don't supply any evidence to show why you think it's wrong. You just flatly deny it because"We discount evidence when it doesn’t square up with our goals while we embrace information that confirms our biases. Sometimes hearing we’re wrong makes us double down. And so on and so forth." Take a good look at yourself before you tell us we are guilty of bias. You are correct that I am wrong that 300 got sick. The fact is that 300 died. 20,000 got sick OK, I apologise for believing your figure without checking it. Wher I said this I should have said that you have mistaken 2 for 20,000. Happy to clarify that you were even more absurdly wrong than I had originally thought. It's obviously a good suggestion. It is, perhaps, a little inconvenient. But it seems unlikely that Clive is different from many others who make essentially the same claim. And it might (for any number of reasons) be easier to ask them to participate in the experiment. It's difficult to see how the outcome would be significantly different. The problem is that, when I point out that the experiment(in that form) has already been done, Clve tells me it's fake news. So, what's the point of repeating it? Does anyone think that doing the experiment- as proposed- would actually change Clive's opinion? Or do you think this would happen. Note - in all cases the meter confirms the symptoms. Why do I need 24 hour data collection The fact that you ask that says a lot about why you keep posting. You simply don't understand evidence. I don't usually listen to the radio but every time I get a headache I check and I find that the local radio station is playing pop music. Should I conclude that the pop music causes my headache? Or does it seem more sensible to suppose that the station always plays pop music (and I get headaches at random times)? Or could it be that they play pop music in the morning and that's when I'm hungover? Or could it be that I just don't remember the times when they were actually playing jazz- but I classified it as "pop" because that went along with my view that pop music causes headaches? That's why you need a proper test. And you think that doing a proper test is "fake news" because you don't even understand why we need to do one.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0016.json.gz/line3052

Following an investigation, Duncan McCaffery Fowler, 25, and Coleton Reid Szalay, 23, have been charged for allegedly robbing an elderly person on Commercial Drive. Ford creates scholarships to honour plane victims of 'evil regime' of Iran Sam McGriskin Premier Doug Ford announced on Thursday that new scholarships would be provided in honour of the 57 Canadians who lost their lives on Ukrainian International Airlines flight 752. Ford called the leadership in Iran a “ruthless, evil regime.” “Innocent lives got shot down by a ruthless, careless Iranian regime,” said Ford in a report by the Toronto Sun. “I want to send a message—and it may not get over there—I support the (anti-government) protesters that are out there. We believe in democracy here in Canada and we’d like to see nothing less than democracy in Iran.” Some of the families that Ford met with expressed that they put the blame for the incident on the Iranian regime and are looking for justice. Ford noted, “Nothing, nothing at all was more emotional than sitting down with five families and listening to their stories.” “One gentleman told me how he lost his daughter and his granddaughter; another person lost their husband; another person lost their brother, sister and a wife and child,” he said. “It was absolutely heartbreaking.” Ford expressed that he was happy with the way the Canadian government was able to respond to the families of the victims. He also revealed that there will be 57 post-secondary scholarships created in Ontario to honour Canada’s victims. The tragedy cost the lives of students in more than a dozen post-secondary schools in Ontario. The new scholarships will be for the 2021-22 school year and the government will be distributing $10,000 for each. The scholarships will be distributed with financial need and academic merit in mind. The schools will be working with the families of the victims to determine scholarship recipients. Ford said, “They were smart, gifted people who had a bright future ahead of them,” and added, “In fact, 34 out of the 57 Canadians were studying — they were PhD candidates, professors, researchers, doctors.” He also mentioned that a victim of the crash had been working on a new breast cancer drug therapy. “We will honour their memories through these scholarships to recognize their incredible contributions to our communities,” said Ford. The province will be distributing the scholarships to the schools that the victims were employed at or attending. In the weeks to come, the Ministry of Colleges and Universities will be working with government, communities and schools in order to continue to develop the scholarships. TAGS#education#Ontario Ontario man attacks kindergarteners with curtain rod, leaves child in 'serious condition' Roberto Wakerell-Cruz A man is facing charges after allegedly attacking young children in a kindergarten class with a curtain rod during the school’s recess. York Police say the incident happened around 1 pm on Wednesday, when they were called to Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Elementary School after reports of an assault. The man, who witnesses say was wearing a helmet on his head, was walking around the perimeter of the school with a woman before the school’s recess took place. The attack took place after two of three kindergarten classes had already gone inside. According to eye witness reports, the man jumped the fence and began swinging the curtain rod at teachers and students. “School staff and a good Samaritan were able to remove the weapon from the suspect and get the students back into the school,” said Const. Laura Nicolle to CTV News Toronto. A five-year-old boy suffered “serious injuries” after being struck by the rod, police say. The school was placed into lockdown during the incident, as police and ambulances made their way to the premises. The suspect is a 30-year-old man who police believe has a cognitive impairment. The man was arrested and charged with aggravated assault, assault with a weapon, weapons dangerous and common nuisance endangering life. Investigators believe the assault was random. He is pending a bail hearing. TAGS#Ontario Drill rigs in Canada double in January Jason Unrau A bullish United States crude oil market is rippling north as the number of rigs drilling for oil and gas in Canada more than doubled to 203 last week. This new exploration activity comes on the back of American crude futures that jumped to almost $66-per-barrel on January 8; a nearly 30 percent increase since the end of last year, and an eight-month high overall. While the 118 new rigs that came on line at the beginning of 2020 in Alberta and Saskatchewan makes this period the most active exploration spate in Canada since March of 2019, the boom comes with encumbrances. “There is a huge, growing liability being left for Albertans and the big growing question is, who’s going to pay for the cleanup and when is the cleanup going to be done?” said political economist Gordon Laxer, University of Alberta professor emeritus and founding director of The Parkland Institute. Laxer is also part of a citizens group known as Alberta Liabilities and Disclosure Project which tracks the number of orphaned wells in the province–approximately 3400–and the growing cleanup burden. According to Alberta Energy Regulator (AER), the current liability for abandoned and disused wells for provincial taxpayers is $260 billion while just $1.5 billion is held in securities to cover remediation costs. “That’s less than one percent covering it,” Laxer said. And Laxer’s liabilities and disclosure group is not alone with their concerns. In a December letter to AER from the Orphan Well Association–an industry-funded watchdog under AER’s mandate–the association criticized Shell Canada’s proposal to offload nearly 300 wells and 82 pipelines to a virtual penny stock company. Lars De Pauw, executive director of the association declined to speak about the matter, “as the transfer (of the facilities) is still in the regulatory process.” Alberta’s Energy minister Sonya Savage also declined an interview for this story but in a statement to The Post Millennial, said her government is “following through on our commitment to address orphan and inactive wells in Alberta.” “We will be bringing forward a suite of policies, covering the entire lifecycle of wells, which deal with well licences and liabilities,” said Savage in an email. “These policies will ensure the clean-up of inactive wells is addressed by producers–not on the backs of taxpayers–while still ensuring an environment for industry to be successful.” Justin Trudeau threatens to sue Andrew Scheer for SNC-Lavalin criticism Cosmin Dzsurdzsa, 9 months ago 2 min read Canadian YouTuber makes hilarious video explaining Canada Day to Americans Indigenous mother claims she and her children were the victims of a racist tirade at West Edmonton mall Travis Gladue-Beauregard, 8 months ago 4 min read Anti-Semitic killers had bomb capable of killing ‘five football fields away’ Roberto Wakerell-Cruz, 3 days ago 1 min read Raptors superfan awarded with personal championship ring Wyatt Claypool, 3 months ago 2 min read Parliament policy banning ‘I love Canadian oil & gas’ tee remains a mystery Jason Unrau, 2 months ago 3 min read	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0016.json.gz/line3055

On the eve of a celebration in Cospicua of the pilgrimage that brought back the Immanculate Conception from Birkirkara, TVM spoke with Laurence Mizzi who recalled the events. 87-year old Laurence Mizzi remembers well the occurring events in Cottonera during World War II. He recounts the sufferings he witnessed, which led to the area’s titular statues to be taken for shelter in Birkirkara and Imdina. Mr Mizzi also remembers the great feasts that residents of Cospicua, Vittoriosa and Senglea organized when the statues returned to their parishes. He described the event in Senglea on the 8th September 1943 when the Bambina statue was carried in procession from the city’s entrance to the St Philip church which lies over the Grand Harbour. “There were thousands of people on that day; I was with them. As the Bambina statue arrived in the middle of the shoreline, a loudspeaker on a destroyer was heard saying that Italy had surrendered. War had ended as the crowd celebrated the Vitorja feast”. Vittoriosa residents also organized great feasts when they welcomed back the statue of St Lawrence when he accompanies the pilgrimage as an altar boy. “They took the statue of St Lawrence at the Immaculate Conception church and a pilgrimage was held in July from Cospicua to Vittoriosa as part of the feast. Vittoriosa was half destroyed, the church cupola and the sacrament chapel collapsed; many people died there”. Mr Mizzi said he is still fascinated by the thanksgiving pilgrimage with the statue and titular painting of the Immaculate Conception from St Helen’s church in Birkirkara to Cospicua. “They had a reason to thank God as the Cospicua church remained intact! I was with my uncle who was a feast enthusiast and when we arrived in Paola, we stopped walking and the pilgrimage took some eight hours or even more”. The 75th anniversary of the event will be commemorated tomorrow with an audio-visual representation in Cospicua’s Dock No. 1 that will feature the history of the parish from its founding in 1584 till 1944. The spectacle will include singing and dancing, synchronized fireworks, drama and a projection mapping on the facade of Cospicua church.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0016.json.gz/line3056

Recent years have witnessed progressive competitiveness of Brazilian commodities, mainly soya beans and corn (maize), which exports have exceeded those of traditional grain producers, such as the United States and Argentina, making Brazil the world’s largest exporter of these agricultural products. Successive record crops and the increasing demands of the consumer markets, principally China, have led to increasingly bottlenecks in the already overburdened grain ports in the South and Southeast regions, resulting in higher transportation costs and longer journeys from production areas, leading exporters to seek more viable logistics alternatives elsewhere in Brazil. The federal administration inaugurated last January is committed to unleashing projects to improve the national transport infrastructure and streamline procedures and requirements for the participation of the private section in new logistics ventures in the country. Major grain producers and traders are investing heavily in cargo handling facilities and port terminals to improve the flow of commodities to overseas ports. The bulk of these investments are being made in ports across the still-in-development in northern part of the country, more precisely in the region known as Arco Norte (Northern Arc), which covers the ports in the North and Northeast regions that are closer to large producing areas in central Brazil and are becoming a competitive alternative for exports to countries in the Northern Hemisphere and Asia via the Panama Canal. Members can read the full practical guidance here.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0016.json.gz/line3059
__label__wiki	0.787538	0.787538	Now Reading: The Consequence of Trump’s New Family Detention Rules The Consequence of Trump’s New Family Detention Rules The Trump administration announced a new rule allowing for indefinite detention of migrant families. Game theory suggests it won’t end well. A mother and child tour the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley in 2018. Charles Reed/U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement via AP Gus Bova Aug 21, 2019, 5:03 pm CST On Wednesday morning, Trump administration officials announced a final rule that will allow the government to detain migrant children indefinitely in family detention centers while they and their parents await resolution of their asylum cases. Currently, kids may generally be held in such facilities for no longer than 20 days. The final rule will not be published in the Federal Register until Friday, and it won’t take effect for two months. A legal challenge is likely. OK—so let’s take about five steps back. In the summer of 2014, a wave of Central American minors and families was arriving at our Southern border—a trend that continues through the present. At the time, the Obama administration had virtually no capacity to hold these families. The notorious Hutto family detention facility near Austin had been converted into an all-women lockup five years prior, leaving the feds with nothing but a tiny 96-bed center in Pennsylvania. So, to the dismay of his liberal base, Obama resurrected family detention, launching a short-lived center in New Mexico and two South Texas lockups that remain today: the 830-bed Karnes County Residential Center and the 2,400-bed South Texas Family Residential Center, in Dilley. Quickly, stories of abuse and psychological trauma began emanating from the facilities, as some families were held for months on end. Until, in the summer of 2015, a federal judge intervened. The entrance to the Karnes County Residential Center. Alexa Garcia-Ditta Let’s back up one more time. Since 1997, the government’s treatment of migrant minors has been governed by a court settlement known as the Flores agreement, which sets minimum standards for things ranging from length of detention and center conditions to nutrition and healthcare. For 18 years, the agreement only applied to so-called unaccompanied minors—kids who arrived at the border alone—but in 2015, a federal judge ruled the terms apply to kids detained with their parents, too. As a result, the facilities generally had to start releasing families within 20 days—a status quo that persists to this day and that Trump views as a “loophole.” Here’s the thing: The Flores agreement was never meant to be permanent. The courts always intended that it be replaced by law or regulation, but no administration ever followed through, leaving the decision in the hands of the most anti-immigrant president in recent history. The rule announced Wednesday would terminate and replace Flores. While we don’t have the text of the final rule, we do have a proposed version from last September. That version of the rule would allow indefinite detention of migrant kids. It also outlines a workaround for one obstacle that the family detention centers in Texas have faced: an inability to get state licensing. Among other things, the Flores agreement requires that kids be held in state-licensed facilities. In a bid to comply with the requirement, the feds and the private prison companies who operate Texas’ family detention centers sought state licensure—and thus, the ability to hold children indefinitely. But in 2016, Grassroots Leadership, an Austin-based group that opposes private prisons, and other groups won an injunction blocking the licenses. (The case is ongoing.) Not to be deterred, private prison giant GEO Group lobbied the Texas Legislature in 2017 for a bill that would grant them the licenses but, amid strong pushback and a generally wretched legislative session, the measure died. The rule, as proposed in September, would create a federal pseudo-licensure process, rendering the independent state process unnecessary. The courts always intended that the Flores agreement to be replaced by law or regulation, but no administration ever followed through, leaving the decision in the hands of the most anti-immigrant president in recent history. The new licensure process might be challenged in court. Another question at stake could be whether the facilities qualify as “non-secure”—which is to say, sufficiently un-jail-like—another requirement of the Flores agreement. The government will need to argue that its new rule maintains the substance of the court settlement. So now let’s game this out a bit. Currently, family detention centers are at a small fraction of their capacity. The Karnes facility is, temporarily, not holding families at all but adult women. And right now, thanks to the so-called Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), most asylum-seeking families are being bounced back over the border anyway and will never see the inside of an ICE facility. The immediate impact of the new rule might be significant but not huge because so many migrants are being stymied from entering the country at all. But what if something changes? For example, a large wave of asylum-seeking families from Africa, currently exempt from MPP, could arrive. Or MPP could be struck down in court after a hearing in California on October 1, and the families currently staying in Mexico as part of MPP might re-enter the U.S. to seek asylum. In two and a half years in office, Trump has—curiously—not expanded the number of family detention centers. The same three facilities stand now that stood in late 2014. So if there’s an influx, and the administration wants to detain families indefinitely, they’ll quickly run out of space. It’s a reasonable bet that the president would then respond sloppily, with something along the lines of mass tent facilities on army bases, the sort of situation the Flores settlement always meant to prevent.

__label__wiki	0.724981	0.724981	This Texas Dance Hall Needs to Raise a (New) Roof Texas dance halls may be dying out, but there are strong communities rallying to keep them in good shape. By Leah ScarpelliSeptember 30, 2016 9:47 amArts & Culture Leah Scarpelli/Texas Standard Dancers two-step to the Hot Texas Swing Band toward the end of the evening. Driving through a beautiful expanse of Texas Hill Country on a sunny Saturday afternoon, I pull off Highway 281 somewhere between San Antonio and Johnson City. I hear the Twin Sisters Dance Hall before I actually see it. Twin Sisters Hall Club President Jo Nell Haas loves it here. This day’s all about raising money for a place she’s been going to her whole life. It used to be that Texas towns of almost any size would have one thing in common: a dance hall. A place for people to gather, enjoy some music and, yes, dance. The Twin Sisters Dance Hall has been that place for Blanco for around 140 years. But now, it’s in some desperate need of repair. It needs a new roof and residents of the small Hill Country town are pulling together to raise the $55,000 needed to keep the hall in operation. Local vendors set up around the hall, selling everything from clothing to candles and jewelry to barbecue. Today Haas says the hall is giving buggy rides. There are children’s activities like races, a petting zoo and bounce houses. There are all types of vendors, including food. There’s washer pitching, a barbecue chili cook-off and salsa judging. And there’s dancing all day. That’s exactly what German immigrant Max Krueger had in mind when he built Twin Sisters in the 1870s near two “twin hills.” Ever since, residents have been two-stepping here the first Saturday of every month. Howard Koch is a fourth-generation Blanco resident and a Twin Sisters bartender. He says families used to spend hours making their way to the dance hall by horse-and-buggy. “You’d put a blanket underneath the table, put the kids down underneath there. They’d go to sleep,” Koch says. “Grandmothers would sit up there, drink their beer or whiskey or coffee or whatever, and watch the kids.” A lot has happened under this roof. So, it makes sense that the original cedar shingles would be worn out by 2016 – especially after a couple of very wet seasons. “Several times during the heavy rains, we walked in to check on everything and there was water across the floor,” Jo Nell Haas says. “So we’re running around with trash cans – the big trash cans – trying to catch leaks to keep it from ruining our dance floor. And we have an absolutely beautiful, beautiful wooden dance floor – one of the best in Texas that’s still alive.” Rain damage is visible from inside the hall. Twin Sisters needs about $55,000 for a new roof to replace its original cedar shingles. Historic dance halls in Texas are in trouble. The day after the event at Twin Sisters, Turner Hall in nearby Fredericksburg held a fundraiser to build a brand new structure after the hall burned down in June. It’s been the fate of many. Deb Flemming is President of a group called Texas Dance Hall Preservation. “At one time, there were a thousand dance halls in Texas,” she says. “And today, there’s about 400 that are still left standing. And there’s a small number of those that still do public events like this.” Flemming says Twin Sisters is the real deal – a place run by volunteers for the primary purpose of gathering people and dancing. But it wasn’t always that way. A few years ago Twin Sisters almost closed its doors. And let’s face it – times change. Cities and towns get bigger. Blanco’s population has grown 20 percent since 2010. New businesses have opened up and old ones are expanding. There are endless options for entertainment. So as I spent more time in Blanco, I started asking: Why do people want to save Twin Sisters Dance Hall? Here’s what the residents say: “To keep the community involved,” says Andrew Cox. “It’s a continuation of a community focal point, locus,” Leif Oines says. “Many people come to this place saying, ‘This is my roots. My family was here for one reason or the other,’” Haas says. “And I think it’s truly important that we, as communities, keep that going.” The Twin Sisters Dance Hall has held dances every first Saturday of every month since its founding. And other communities that have done the same thing. The people of Schulenberg, Texas, rallied to restore Sengelmann Hall several years ago. Still, the number of people going to dances just isn’t want it used to be. Preservationist Deb Flemming sees saving these dance halls as important for another reason – and it’s tied to the state’s exploding population. “A lot of people don’t really know that these halls still exist or what their stories are,” Flemming says. “Because there’s so many new people in Texas and they see these buildings on the side of the road and they think it’s a barn. Or they may go, ‘What is that?’” I am admittedly one of those new Texans. And later in the day as the Hot Texas Swing Band played, it was time for me to take a turn on that beautiful oak dance floor. Mark wasn’t willing to give his last name, but was happy to give a girl a lesson. The Twin Sisters Dance Hall raised a whopping $15,000 at the fundraiser, fast closing in on their goal of $55,000. They’re feeling pretty good about their progress – after all, they’ve got their community behind them.

__label__cc	0.55349	0.44651	Four'easter slams into the northeast shattering snow records and affecting millions for the fourth time in March on the second day of Spring The U.S. East’s fourth major snowstorm this month brought heavy snow on Wednesday, snarling flights and commuter travel, closing schools and triggering emergency declarations in several states. Governor Andrew Cuomo has declared a state of emergency for New York City and is urging residents to prepare for intense winter weather to continue through Wednesday night. The storm will have passed over the Northeast by dawn Thursday. By then, it will have dumped 8 inches of snow on Philadelphia, 12 inches in New York City, and 17 inches over northern Maryland and southern Pennsylvania, said Weather Prediction Center meteorologist Marc Chenard according to Reuters. "The National Weather Service forecast, as you know, is for a winter storm watch and they were correct. We have a winter storm in the process now. "Snow will affect millions across the northeast into Thursday. As AccuWeather predicted in its long-range winter forecasts back in October, March has proven to be an active month with this being the fourth powerful Nor’easter in a month. Flight cancellations, transportation delays, and damage to personal property from falling trees and power lines will cause this to be yet another high-impact economic disruption," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist and Long-Range Forecaster David Samuhel said. Meanwhile, more than 50,000 southern New Jersey residents are living without power as Wednesday's nor'easter continues to wreak havoc. Atlantic City Electric (ACE) outage map shows that 57,987 of its customers are without power as of 11:10 p.m. Most of the darkened homes are located in Cumberland, Salem and Gloucester County where there are more trees, according to ACE spokesperson Frank Tedesco. "Winter Storm Toby's heavy, wet snow, ice, and high winds have toppled trees and brought down tree limbs, downing utility poles, power lines and damaged electric equipment, causing electric service interruptions for customers," Tedesco said. "Atlantic City Electric's entire Emergency Response Organization has been mobilized with all company resources dedicated to restoring service to customers as safely and efficiently as possible," Tedesco said 180 internal linemen, 131 overhead line contractors and 233 tree crew personnel are working to fix the various issues, but that there is no timetable for when power will be restored.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0016.json.gz/line3064
__label__cc	0.649884	0.350116	Mitt’s Bizarre Lyme Disease Offensive Kent Sepkowitz Updated Jul. 14, 2017 12:56AM ET / Published Oct. 02, 2012 4:45AM ET Jewel Samad / AFP / Getty Images The political world is in overdrive with excited speculation regarding what debate “zinger” Mitt Romney has prepared for President Obama Wednesday night. Perhaps he will nail the president on the still high unemployment rate or maybe dust off Reverend Wright. Or else what if he pulls a Rove counteroffensive and asks for release of 20 years of Obama tax returns. Or maybe, just maybe, he will zing the president on a white-hot issue dominating every waking moment for, um, some voters. In er, uh, northern Virginia. A few of them at least. The issue? Lyme disease. Yes, Lyme disease. While others are too weak to go there, Mitt is willing to roll up his sleeves and go after those ticks and deer and the entire damned reproductive cycle of Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacterial spirochete that causes the disease. He’s not afraid. But what about Obama? Is he for the ticks or is he—perhaps—soft on them, or worse yet, a tick sympathizer? Surely there are reasons for the Romney camp to go so deep on something so shallow—a poll someone somewhere did that showed a little bump in Mitt-thusiasm around the issue from soccer Moms or NASCAR dads or exurb SUV'er Millennials, or maybe the coveted antibiotic-seeking vote. Or maybe he’s currying favor with Virginia’s governor, who set up a task force on the disease and appointed an influential conservative activist as its chair. No matter what, this is the first time an infectious disease has intruded into politics since Reagan ran the other way from AIDS in 1984. Two aspects of the Eastern Lyme Offensive are peculiar—and quite revealing. The obvious issue is the votes Mitt’s trying to grab by picking a theme close to the hearts of his fans. It’s not really better tick control or improved understanding of the disease that Mitt is after—it’s the disaffected group with “chronic Lyme disease” and the very large group of science refuseniks for whom scientific evidence is simply one of many belief systems not grounded in an agreed-upon reality but rather a person’s opinion only. Chronic Lyme is a syndrome of uncertain etiology. Persons with the condition have a wide range of neurologic and other symptoms—and all feel ignored by the medical establishment. This is because doctors view the condition as unrelated to the Lyme bacteria; patients feel otherwise and swear that extremely long courses of intravenous antibiotics are the only treatment that allows them to function. The chronic Lyme crowd, in other words, is much like the base of the party, which feels victimized by the governmental bureaucracy; it’s big medicine they hate and feel abandoned by this time, but the theme is the same. Doctors, like the government itself, are brusque and hurried. All they do is take your money and make you fill out lots of forms. When you call no one answers. They seem bothered and pestered by the very patients and citizens they are sworn to help. And worst of all, they want to talk about evidence and all that science stuff, pushing a feller around with muscular studies while ignoring the little guy. And for once, this is a little guy Mitt can cotton to, complete with sprawling house and blue-chip dog—to meet him, have another look at Mitt’s flier. But more telling than this is the second prong of the Eastern Lyme Offensive. It appears that Mitt actually wants to do something about Lyme. And he wants to do it in the most basic big-government fashion possible: use the power of government to bring together patients, doctors, and business, as was done with AIDS and breast cancer and countless other diseases, in an attempt to make progress against a disease. He isn’t advocating that we should let market forces squeeze out whatever it must squeeze out—market forces being the only Darwinian concept acceptable to the anti-Darwin right. It turns out that his proposed Lymecare is nothing but a mini-Romneycare, the bastard child Romney fathered on a wild bender last decade while trapped in the vaporous Northeast. The Eastern Lyme Strategy perhaps is politics at its most grasping and cynical. Yet it does point out how elemental health and health care are—for both citizens and those running for election. Yes, this is a laughable ad certain to bring more derision than electoral impact, but Mitt and Paul and the entire Republican brass band have finally shown their hand: apart from the distracting noise they create, they do believe that government is, gulp, here to help people. Now that’s a real zinger.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0016.json.gz/line3068
__label__cc	0.536834	0.463166	Region Insight: Margaret River From Run-Down Dairy Country to International Limelight in just 50 years… The universal awareness of the Margaret River Wine Region is such that it’s hard to believe that winegrowing on this pristine coastline began just over 50 years ago. Dr Tom Cullity planted experimental vines at Vasse Felix in 1967, making his first (disastrous) vintage in 1971. The pioneering stories of Tom and his medical mates, Dr Kevin Cullen (Cullen Wines) and Dr Bill Pannell (Moss Wood) is well told in ‘The Way It Was’ — a history of the early days of the Margaret River wine industry. The Margaret River surfing beaches are legendary; indeed it was pull of the surf that brought the first tourists to (what was then) poor, run-down dairy country with dirt roads and little infrastructure. One young bleached-blonde, beer drinking surfer was Denis Horgan, who with the help of his brother John and the encouragement of Napa Valley guru Robert Mondavi, planted Leeuwin Estate near the township of Margaret River. Another dedicated surfer, David Hohnen (again with family support) founded Cape Mentelle — now part of the French prestige brand LVMH Group. While wine is the now main drawcard, Margaret River has evolved into a wonderful tourist destination. The drive from Perth (shortened to 3 hours by recent road-upgrades) brings floods of weekenders to the region, as well as copious numbers of trans-Nullarbor pilgrims. But other attractions aside, it’s certainly the quality of the wine that defines Margaret River. So pour a glass and taste for yourself. Understanding the coastal terroir… The Margaret River coastline stretches south of Busselton on Geographe Bay to Augusta, Australia‘s most south-westerly point. The best vineyards sit between the Bussell Highway and Caves Road, which meanders along in parallel with the Indian Ocean coastline. It’s the Indian Ocean that defines the maritime climate of the region, its warm currents making for mild winters while the cool on-shore breeze moderate summertime temperatures. Vineyards to the north, around Wilyabrup and Yallingup (Woodlands, Domaine Naturaliste, Arimia and Windance), are a tad warmer producing fleshier reds while those near Margaret River township (Voyager, Leeuwin, Cape Mentelle and Xanadu) are cooler and better suited to white grapes and subtle, savoury reds. Vineyards to the east of the Bussell Highway are planted on heavier soils with the cool onshore breezes petering out, so it’s significantly hotter and the wines brawny and bold. Speaking of soils, the coastline is marked by limestone caves with this porous sub-terrain topped with variety of soils—from ironstone gravels to sandy loams. These free-draining soils naturally limit yields with the persistent on-shore winds further reducing the crop by blowing flowers off the infant clusters. Low yields lead to high quality—a given with Margaret River wines.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0016.json.gz/line3074
__label__wiki	0.510018	0.510018	NHS cyberattack could be a health and safety nightmare When news broke that NHS hospitals across the UK had fallen victim to ransomware, there was obvious shock and concern. At least 48 trusts were infected, taking computer systems offline and seriously disrupting the treatment of patients. The full scale of the attack has yet to be revealed, but it is clear that key systems have been compromised by hackers. Each of the affected hospitals has become infected with a special form of the computer virus known as “ransomware”. These infections encrypt files and data, rendering them inaccessible. The only way to regain access is to pay a ransom to the hackers or to restore the damaged files from backup. Depending on how many files are affected, this could take many days. Security analysts believe that the attack relies on the victim – in this case, the NHS – having the outdated software or inefficient security provisions. It is believed that many of the infected computers at the NHS are still running Windows XP which Microsoft withdrew support some years ago. The NHS has delayed upgrading and patching their systems for a number reasons, not least the enormous cost involved in such a project. In addition to the cost of upgrade licenses, the trusts each need to test to ensure that clinical systems work properly. What does it mean for you? The NHS attack is a warning for all businesses. Insufficiently protected computers anywhere are vulnerable to similar attacks. Any construction firm experiencing a similar infection will find their operations severely disrupted – at potentially significant cost. Worse still, the inability to access key information has placed patients’ lives at risk. Our reliance on computer systems means that health and safety have now become a digital issue too. How would losing access to your risk assessments affect site safety? Or any health details you keep on your employees?

__label__wiki	0.596514	0.596514	Home Modern Weapons Armorer Damascus Knight .45 Damascus Knight .45 Master pistolsmith Terry Tussey presents a sub-Officer’s 1911 with seven rounds of payload in a super compact package. Bridging a chasm some 2,000 years wide, master pistolsmith Terry Tussey has melded one of the oldest metallurgical processes for making weapons with completely state-of-the-art modern manufacturing methods to create a subminiature .45 that is as distinctive in appearance as it is innovative in construction. The damascus slide on Tussey’s custom Caspian Arms pistol harkens back to the Hittites who, around 1,500 BC, were the first people to discover that iron reduces from “red earth,” iron ochre. Ancient blacksmiths heated the iron ore and then hammered out iron spears and swords. Later, blacksmiths learned to hammer different compounds into the blades, adding phosphorus and using acids to treat the resulting steel. Known as “pattern welded,” the technique for making damascene steel spread throughout the world, responsible for everything from double-edged Viking broadswords to fearsome katana blades of the Japanese samurai. The advantage of damascus was that it allowed the blade to be both strong and flexible. The Japanese were particularly skilled at carbonizing the edge to make it extremely tough. Damascene was applied to firearms in the 17th and 18th centuries, appearing first in Arabia. The barrel was pattern welded by winding a damascened band in a spiral around a mandrel. Some beautiful damascus gun barrels were made as blacksmiths intertwined the contrasting colors of iron into artistic patterns. Today, Caspian Arms offers a damascus 1911 slide made by a steel mill in Sweden called Damasteel. Damasteel pioneered a modern method of damascene using a patented proprietary process. Damasteel laminates two carbon steels together that are repeatedly folded and welded, up to 112 layers thick. The steel is then twisted, rolled, forged or machined to give it a distinctive “Damascus” look. Every pattern is distinct and individual, which is only appropriate when a custom pistolsmith of Tussey’s talent applies his craft. Mated to the damascus slide is a Tussey-designed frame that he spec’d for Caspian Arms. Called the Compact, it’s 1/2″ shorter in the grip and 3/8″ shorter in length than an Officer’s frame, yet holds a payload of 6+1 rounds of .45 ACP. The frame on our test gun is aluminum but incorporates a clever, Tussey-designed steel feed ramp to prevent sharp-nosed hollowpoints from damaging the aluminum. Tussey’s frame, combined with a shortened damascus slide, results in a very small carry gun, light and highly concealable, yet stylish enough to create enormous pride of ownership. Old School Smith Tussey is an old school pistolsmith, a one-man-shop practitioner who still zeros every gun he builds himself. “I bought a .45 when I was 17-years-old after reading Cooper’s Fighting Handguns. I already had a lathe at home and I started working on triggers. I got hired by [Los Angeles gunshop owner] Martin B. Retting in late ’59 and that was my first paid job working on guns. I’ve actually done trigger work and part-time gunsmithing ever since,” said the veteran customizer. Tussey worked as a sales rep for Safariland and Colt during the ’60s and ’70s to supplement his gunsmithing sideline. “In ’79, I gave up all the extra stuff and went strictly into building custom pistols, kinda forced out by telemarketing. My middle daughter took over my route selling guns while I made the transition. She did it for no pay, just to help the family out,” said Tussey, a father of four and grandfather of nine. “I haven’t caught up since 1981. Three to six months is the backlog,” he added with a wry smile. Miniature Tradition Tussey calls this little pocket pistol his “Deep Cover” model. It’s a small gun, “chopped and channeled” in the classic tradition. Cut-down automatics were the definitive “custom” pistols of 20 years ago when names like Behlert, Devel, Seecamp and ASP were shrinking down full-size service pistols into diminutive, discrete carry guns before the word “compact” had ever been uttered by a major manufacturer. Charlie Kelsey, the mastermind behind the Devel Corp., abbreviated the Smith & Wesson Model 39 and 59 down to Lilliputian dimensions. ASP did similar work, although not nearly as tastefully, while Austin Behlert offered a remarkably fine cut-down Browning Hi-Power. Seecamp shrank the Colt Commander to a Bobcat. The factories eventually smelled the coffee and guns like the Smith & Wesson Model 3913, Kahr and Kel-Tech were introduced. With the factories imitating art, demand for custom chop jobs all but disappeared; Devel, ASP and Behlert soon were out of business. Still, the lure of the hacksaw runs strong. It wasn’t long before “compact” wasn’t small enough; “ultra compact” was the hot ticket. Believing smaller is better, pistolsmith Bill Laughridge pioneered a sub-Officer’s sized Colt while he was working as a consultant for Colt, a gun he called the Adventurer. The Adventurer eventually came out of Hartford as a production gun known as the Defender. Tussey, meanwhile, was developing the Deep Cover, which compares favorably to the other sub-compacts on the market. It is smaller than a P-10 and an Officer’s, but 0.1″ longer in the grip than the Adventurer, however, it holds six rounds in the magazine compared to the Adventurer’s five. The inspiration for the Deep Cover was Detonics, the first successful manufacturer of micro .45s. “I was screwing around with a Detonics and had a P-10 around and I thought, `I wonder if I can put these two together?’ So with a little judicious hacksaw work,” Tussey chuckled at the memory. “I hacked off the end of the grip and the end of the slide, and it seemed like I was throwing away more weight than I retained.” Tussey did everything possible to miniaturize the Deep Cover. Note the nubbin of a beavertail. Tussey first handfit an aluminum Caspian Arms beavertail and then expertly ground it down to mate with the frame in a virtually seamless blend. That saved a good 1/2″ of overall length. “If you sit an Officer’s and the Caspian on a table on their tail, you’ll see a big, big difference. Even with the Para P-10 or the Colt Defender, you’ll see a big difference because of the little beavertail. The gun is almost an inch shorter than an Officer’s, yet the barrel is only 3/8″ shorter than an Officer’s,” Tussey explained. The sights are even miniatures Novaks borrowed from a Colt Mustang. He shortened the front sight fore and aft to make it match the tiny rear Novak. The magazine is made for the Detonics, but works perfectly in Tussey’s Deep Cover, holding six rounds. Tussey prefers to run hardball in his personal gun, arguing that hollowpoints won’t reliably expand at less than 1,000 fps velocity. “Because it has a short barrel, as an Officer’s does, it’s difficult to get a bullet going more than 1,000 fps. Under 1,000 fps, they do not reliably expand. So I recommend using a 230 gr. bullet that doesn’t need to expand. I just use hardball. For legal purposes, I use hardball that’s marked `match,”‘ Tussey said, cognizant as everyone in the gun business is these days of product liability. Tussey’s belief that hollowpoints “won’t expand” at less than 1,000 fps is somewhat dated. Most of today’s high performance hollowpoints – Federal’s 165 gr. Personal Protection .45 load is a great example- are specifically designed to expand at lower velocities. Shooting editor Charlie Petty has tested numerous .45 ACP hollowpoints that expanded to almost twice their diameter in water at 800 fps. As a general rule of thumb, you give up 50 fps for each inch of barrel reduction. In this case, the thumb was correct. The snubby .45 gave up almost exactly 100 fps for the same loads tested in a 5″ barrel (see accompanying chart). While the damascus slide is the first aspect that catches the eye, there is an incredible amount of custom work on the little Damascus Knight .45. “Everything in the whole back end of that gun is custom,” Tussey elaborated. “I actually build up the tang of the frame, especially on a Colt frame, and use the old style Commander grip safety, actually melding it in. I use an aluminum grip safety on custom guns and steel on the Series 80 Colts because aluminum won’t work.” The beavertail has been seriously abbreviated, ground down to a nubbin. The upside is the gun is seriously small; the downside is I had to wear a leather shooting glove to prevent hammerbite. For the manner in which I carry a self defense pistol- mostly in a fanny pack, occasionally in a belt holster behind my hip- the extra half-inch of beavertail would not compromise concealment, but it would make the pistol a lot more shootable. As it is, I bleed if I shoot the gun without a glove. Bleeding is not a good thing. Bleeding is something I generally don’t look forward to. That being said, Tussey didn’t seem to be bothered by shooting the little guy as much as I was. Maybe I force my hand higher on the grip, a habit incurred from years of IPSC. Tussey makes his own sear spring and mainspring. He utilizes a Seecampdesigned double captive recoil spring that is currently found in other sub-compacts such as the Kahr, Para P-10 and Glock 26/27. The mainspring housing is from a Para P-10. The underside of the trigger guard has been radically sculpted to raise the hand as high as possible on the pistol. This gives an extra 1/2″ of purchase on the stubby grip, which is important on a midget grip like this. Gold Cup style serrations are cut on the front strap, although checkering is an option. Tussey prefers the serrations, however, because checkering can tear up jacket or pocket linings. The barrel is a Bar-Sto, fitted just the way it should be. Tussey is a real stickler for correct barrel fitting and the accuracy of his custom guns show it. Tussey thinned the mag catch and relieved it so that it’s harder to press inadvertently. He thinned and shortened the slide stop on the starboard side so it doesn’t gouge you when you sit on it. He also recessed the slide stop hole to facilitate pushing the slide stop out. All corners and edges are tastefully broken, a “carry bevel package” as Tussey calls it. “I used the small thumb safety for the same reason- so it doesn’t gouge you when you carry it next to you, or sit on it,” Tussey said. The mag well is beveled, a nice but largely academic touch on a gun that will never see the light of an IPSC match. The springs are all from Wolff. Shooting Test With a 3″ barrel and a 5″ sight radius, the Tussey chopped.45 is not going to win Camp Perry. I didn’t expect X-ring accuracy and I wasn’t disappointed. The pistol is a 3″ to 4″ gun at 25 yards, hand-held. I was disappointed with that accuracy and asked our shooting editor, Charlie Petty, to Ransom Rest Tussey’s pistol to see if it was just my flinching. It was. In the Ransom fixture, the Tussey pistol produced an average of 2.56″ for five 10-shoe groups at 25 yards with Federal hardball Average velocity was 766 fps, which is 9( fps slower than the same ammo clocked through a standard 5″ barrel. Petty also shot the Tussey gun by hand and he too reported mediocre accuracy. “The thing is a real miserable bitch to shoot groups with. I wasn’t able to do much better than 4″ either. Recoil really isn’t fun,” Petty reported in an email to me. “I see this as a step backwards,” Petty continued. “We spent all those years trying to eliminate hammer bite and Tussey goes and cuts off a perfectly good beavertail. I’m sure it’s more concealable, but I would rather have my Seecamp than something that makes me bleed after three shots.” As noted previously, I wore a shooting glove to prevent lacerating the web of my palm due to the nonexistent tang. What with brass zinging off my forehead and the slide trying to cut me, this gun was not what I would term “shooter friendly.” Small, yes, fun to shoot, no. Petty praised Tussey’s workmanship: “Nice work on the barrel fitting, too, and it shows. Excellent accuracy for hardball.” The little damascus pistol displayed an annoying, nay painful, tendency to throw brass straight back into my face. This is due to the fact that the ejector is too short for the cyclic rate of the little beast. Reliability was excellent. Neither Petty nor I experienced any jams. Holsters for the Deep Cover aren’t a problem- anything that fits a Para P10 or Colt Defender works perfectly. Even an Officer’s holster will work, although there’ll be an extra 1/2″ of leather at the muzzle. The trigger was astonishingly crisp and light- far too light, in my opinion, for a carry gun. Tussey was obviously trying to impress me with his ability to set a 2 lb. trigger. Nothing against light triggers on a competition gun, but on a street gun, you really want at least 3 if not 4 lbs. Whoa, wait a second. I tested the Tussey trigger and it weighed exactly, right on the money, 4 lbs. on a Brownells’ trigger gauge. What’s up with this? Tussey chuckled, “You thought it was lighter than four pounds, didn’t you?” I admitted it. “That’s the way my triggers feel. They’re crisp and smooth, but they’re not light,” Tussey explained. I was impressed. Impressive, in fact, is a good adjective for this distinctive damascus slide Caspian custom pistol. It’s certainly eye-catching and Tussey’s custom work is absolutely top-notch. Tussey, in his early 60s, is at the pinnacle of his pistolsmithing career, producing carry guns of the highest order. I would not, however, make the Deep Cover my first choice from his catalog of offerings unless concealability was my over-riding consideration. I would prefer a bit more size and a little less stealth in exchange for a pistol that’s more conducive to shooting.

__label__wiki	0.545561	0.545561	The Legend of Kokopelli United States Arizona Phoenix All Phoenix Who or What Is Kokopelli? Judy Hedding Judy Hedding is a Phoenix resident and has written more than 1,000 articles about Greater Phoenix and Arizona since 2000. Larry Lamsa/Flickr/CC BY 2.0 Kokopelli is one of the most intriguing and widespread images surviving from ancient Anasazi Indian mythology and is a prominent figure in Hopi legends. The figure represents a mischievous trickster or the Minstrel, spirit of music. Kokopelli is considered a symbol of fertility who brought well-being to the people, assuring success in hunting, planting and growing crops, and human conception. Kokopelli is a proper noun, so it should always be capitalized and used just like a name: Correct: Kokopelli is a whimsical figure. Incorrect: I saw a kokopellis on coffee mugs today. Pronunciation: koh-koh-pell-ee. Also Known As: Magical flute player, humpback or hump-backed flute player Common Misspellings: Kokopeli Examples: You can't really buy "an actual" Kokopelli because he is a spirit. You can find Kokopelli on shirts, logos, and all kinds of products. The following article was contributed by Cheryl Joseph, formerly of Kokopelli's Kitchen. Kokopelli was the predominant figure in the religious landscape of the Southwest, from 500 A.D. through 1325 A.D., until the development of the Katsina Cult. Kokopelli is most typically viewed as a fertility deity and is still worshipped by many Native American tribes in the Southwest. He is also thought to be a trickster, traveling salesman, insect, musician, warrior, and hunting magician. What Does Kokopelli Look Like? His likeness varies almost as much as his legends. He is usually shown as a humpbacked flute player, often with a large phallus and antenna-like protrusions on his head. Some images show knobby knees and clubfeet. These physical deformities, along with the humpback and permanent erection, are the results of Pot's Disease, a form of tuberculosis. Kokopelli's Humpback It is thought by some that Kokopelli's humpback may have evolved from a sack that was slung over his shoulders. The contents of his sack vary as much as the legends. Kokopelli's Sack of Trade The sack may have contained goods for trade. This is based upon the beliefs that Kokopelli represented early Aztec traders, known as Potchecas, from Meso-America. These salesmen would travel from the cities of the Maya and Aztec with their goods in sacks slung across their backs. These traders also used their flutes to announce themselves as they approached a settlement. Kokopelli's Sack of Gifts More commonly, it is thought that Kokopelli's sack was full of gifts. According to a Hopi myth, Kokopelli's sack contained babies to be left with young women. At San Idelfonso, a Pueblo village, Kokopelli is thought to be a wandering minstrel with a sack of songs on his back who trades old songs for new. According to Navajo legend, Kokopelli is a God of harvest and plenty. It is thought that his sack was made of clouds full of rainbows or seeds. Kokopelli is one of the most widely recognized images today. He can be found on many items such as clothing, furniture, golf balls, key rings, and Christmas ornaments -- some die-hard fans even have a Kokopelli tattoo! Kokopelli's Kitchen is a company with its own line of specialty foods all produced in Arizona and specially packaged. All of the products offered by Kokopelli's Kitchen are indigenous to the great Southwest, and all the foods (except the cocoas) are free of additives and preservatives. The corn, beans, spices, and other ingredients were largely used by the prehistoric Indians to create the foods they enjoyed and that carried the people from one growing season to the next.

Originally fitted with a 600-15 or 640-15 crossply tyre. If a radial tyre is prefered, then a 185R15 could be fitted. When the Rover P4 was launched in 1950, it came only in six-cylinder form with a 2103cc powerplant. Known as the Rover 75 these first P4s featured a distinctive central light set into the grille, which is why it was nicknamed the Cyclops. That central front light proved too radical and in 1952 it bit the dust; the following year the Rover 90 was introduced with a 90bhp 2638cc engine. For 1955 there was a new rear end with fresh lights, then from 1956 the Rover 90 got servo-assisted brakes as standard and the front wings were redesigned. Further six-cylinder Rover P4 derivatives debuted in 1957: the 105R (for Roverdrive) and 105S (for Synchromesh, denoting a manual gearbox), with a 2638cc engine, twin carbs and servo-assisted brakes. In 1959 the 2625cc Rover 100 hit the roads and disc front brakes were standardised for all models, while in 1962 the Rover 95 and 110 arrived. The former was effectively a 100 but without overdrive and a higher ratio rear axle; the Rover 110 was a posh 100, with P5 wheeltrims and gauges, and a Weslake cylinder head. Rover P4 production ceased in 1964. Universal Sport whitewall 185/80R15 91H Universal Sport redwall	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0016.json.gz/line3099

Nina Titovets Jeremy Carranco, Sports Editor The UTEP volleyball team is set to open the home portion of their season against Texas Tech on Wednesday, Aug. 30. The Miners (0-2) will try to come back from their losses with sophomores Macey Austin and Briana Arellano and junior Kylie Baumgartner and senior Amanda King highlighting the rest of the roster. After their originally scheduled tournament was canceled in San Antonio due to Hurricane Harvey, UTEP athletics announced that the Miners would join the North Texas Invitational, featuring Montana, Tulsa and host North Texas in place of the I-10 Cardinals Classic. In the first game, the Miners battled with Montana. UTEP started the game strong, winning the first set, but could not fend off Montana’s rally in the second set that eventually led to a 3-1 Grizzlies win. Arellano hammered down 10 kills with six digs and a block. Freshman Mallory Yost compiled nine kills of her own out of 13 attempts, while King dished out 27 assists to go with four kills in the loss. In the second and final game of the tournament on Saturday morning, the Miners collided with former WAC and C-USA rival, Tulsa. The Golden Hurricane shut out the Miners 3-0. UTEP yet again slowed down their play after a close first set loss (25-23), and Tulsa cruised in both the second (25-15) and third (25-19) sets to earn the shutout. Arellano hammered down three kills and King dished out 18 assists with five digs. Freshman Cheyenne Jones led the Miners’ offensive efforts with nine total kills and Austin added six of her own in the match. Austin earned a team-high 280 kills last season as a freshman and was named to the 2016 Conference-USA All-Freshman team. Arellano, who is a former Canutillo High School player, is both a strong outside hitter and defensive player. She recorded 220 digs last season. Baumgartner led the team in blocks with 111 and King led the team in assists with 371. King will be the Miners’ pulse this year as the lead setter and team captain. “Amanda is our team captain and senior setter, so she is going to be out there a lot,” said head coach Holly Watts. “Sahara Martinez is our other setter and that’s an option we can use, but Amanda is our go to right now as far as leading the team and taking charge on the court. She brings a ton of leadership, personality, drive and all those things you need from the leader.” While the Miners have a leader in King, freshmen Jones and Yost have added a refreshing feel to the team. In the Miners’ exhibition win against Western New Mexico (Aug. 19) and recent tournament in Denton, the two young players have filled the stat sheet. The two shined the last time the Miners played in Memorial Gym. Jones led the team in kills (13) and points (16). Yost followed Jones with 10 kills and 14 points in the exhibition win over Western New Mexico. “I’m really looking forward to getting to know all these girls better and getting to play with them,” Jones said. “I’m excited to maybe get UTEP to a higher ranking, to get into the conference tournament and win it because we have never done that before and I just have really high hopes for this year.” Looking at last season, UTEP struggled, going just 9-22 overall and 5-9 in Conference-USA play, while ending 2016 on a three-game skid. The Miners dropped their final regular season game in straight sets on the road to Marshall, lost to eventual champion Western Kentucky in the quarterfinals of the Conference-USA tournament in straight sets, and then dropped their final match of the year to Battle of I-10 rival New Mexico State in five sets. UTEP is using the pains of last year as motivation to improve their game in 2017. One positive note the Miners can take away from last season is winning three of their final four conferences matches to claim the last spot in the Conference-USA tournament. Only the top eight of 12 teams that compete every season make the conference tournament, and the Miners were the eighth team. “Last year was my first year with UTEP, and while we did make it to the conference, we placed last, so this year our goal is to place higher in the conference tournament,” King said. “It’s pushing me (referring to last year) because I know we didn’t really have any support last year, no one thought we could do it, no one thought we could make it and we did (conference tournament). We didn’t really end the way we wanted to, but to see we did actually make it so it shows hope for this year.” Texas Tech (1-0) also had their opening tournament in Houston (Barcelona HBU Classic) canceled due to the hurricane. The Red Raiders were able to pit a matchup in Denton just like the Miners, but were not a part of the invitational. Tech played a single game Saturday, Aug. 26, against host North Texas. Emily Hill led the Red Raiders to a three-sets to one victory against the Mean Green with 17 kills, 11 digs and four blocks. Following the matchup with Texas Tech, UTEP will host the Glory Road Invitational on Sept. 1-2. The Invitational matchups for the Miners will be I-25 rival New Mexico on Friday, Sept. 1, then Youngstown State and North Dakota on Saturday, Sept. 2. The Miners open Conference-USA on Sept. 22 against Rice at Memorial Gym.

__label__wiki	0.764068	0.764068	How a Chinese slowdown could help — or hurt — robotics By Eugene Demaitre \| February 11, 2019 The Chinese slowdown will hit Asia hard. Map of China (and Taiwan) from the CIA World Factbook China is the most attractive market in the world for robotics suppliers, with a relatively low robot density, lots of manufacturing, and fewer regulations than in other countries. At the same time, there are plenty of things to discourage business, from worries about trade disputes and intellectual property to the recent Chinese slowdown. How should robotics developers and vendors overcome these hurdles? Before you lay the blame solely on the chilly relations between Beijing and Washington or on corporate espionage (such as Huawei’s alleged theft of T-Mobile’s robot arm), it’s worth reviewing the causes of the latest economic slowdown. “2017 was a year of extraordinary growth for the Chinese robotics industry,” observed Georg Stieler, managing director, Asia, at international consulting firm STM Stieler. “It was not uncommon that business owners would order more robots than actually required — either because they were encouraged by the government or just to make their production look more advanced before an IPO.” “Hence, it was no surprise that the growth in 2018 was considerably slower” he told The Robot Report. “What weighed further on the demand for automation was certainly the cooling down of the automotive and electronics industries. Last year was the first time since 1990 that car sales actually fell in China. Also, sales of smartphones in declined by 15.6 percent year over year. Both were more driven by worsening consumer confidence than impacts of the tariffs introduced by the U.S.” By tightening rules on lending, China is slowing itself down, according to the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR). As a result, imports are down, but the CFR notes that China is a net exporter and less of an engine for global demand of manufactured goods than the U.S. Chinese slowdown hits Western producers Of course, that doesn’t mean that the Chinese slowdown won’t affect robotics and automation worldwide. It’s already happening, and it will hit the rest of Asia hardest, with the possible exception of India. Japan’s Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Fuji Electric, and FANUC have already reported drops in profits. Robot maker KUKA AG has blamed uncertainty around the Chinese slowdown for weaker sales than expected for last year. Germany-based KUKA’s fortunes are tied tightly to that of China-based Midea Group, which bought it in 2016. Sales of industrial robots have slowed in China. Source: STM Stieler “China’s approach of acquiring some technologies through the takeover of foreign companies has certainly been slowed,” said Stieler. “The takeover of KUKA changed the public opinion in Germany towards Chinese investments.” In addition, steel output has long been a basic measure of national and global economic health and is tied to construction and the automotive industry — the biggest user of robotics. Steel demand is down. The European Commission has lowered its predictions for economic growth, citing the Chinese slowdown and the so-called Brexit (whose effects on robotics and artificial intelligence will be worth discussing in another article). The Reserve Bank of Australia last week cut its economic forecast for Australia’s gross domestic product. U.S.-based Nvidia blamed the Chinese slowdown for reducing sales of its chips. Other multinationals such as Apple, which are dependent on Chinese manufacturing and demand, have cited the slowdown for their own financial results. Note that these recessionary jitters are not the result of massive job displacement from automation, but from normal macroeconomic cycles and government choices. Unemployment remains low in the U.S. Every economist with whom I’ve spoken in the past year has said that a cyclical downturn is coming, giving policy makers and corporations plenty of time to prepare (if not necessarily a sense of urgency). Before you tighten your belt… Before you start cutting your budget for developing or implementing robotics, think about a plan to ride out or even benefit from the Chinese slowdown. Research firm IDC predicts that spending on robotics will rise 18 percent over 2018 levels this year, despite the slowdown. Western companies that don’t want to rely exclusively on Chinese suppliers or supply chains disrupted by political conflicts might want to invest in reshoring production. iRobot blamed tariffs for adding $8 million to its costs for importing robotic vacuum cleaners into the U.S. last year, and it plans to move production from China. Labor and skills shortages in the more developed world, partly from changes in immigration policies, could also increase demand for industrial automation. Beijing’s “Made in China 2025” strategy has been dealt a setback by the Chinese slowdown, noted the South China Morning Post: “Production of industrial robots fell by 12.1 percent in December from a year earlier after a drop of 7.0 percent in November, according to data published by the National Bureau of Statistics.” “Regardless of the trade war, there are signs that the country might have exhausted its debt-driven growth model,” Stieler said. “The weak economy has forced the country’s large Internet companies to cut costs and halt new investments. Venture capital has dropped visibly since the beginning of the second half of 2018.” This is an opportunity. Even as China tries to develop its domestic robotics and AI talent and output, the Chinese slowdown could hurt startups disproportionately. Enterprising innovators elsewhere can get ahead or stay ahead, but they’ll have to look for new sources of funding. Demand for efficiencies should drive creative experiments in applying robotics and AI to new applications and locations. Windows of opportunity Policy makers and business leaders in both the West and China can mitigate the effects of the Chinese slowdown. Speaking of policy, the current U.S. administration has extended the deadline for trade negotiations with China to March. That’s another window of opportunity to find or optimize talent, partnerships, or customers. The U.S. will face its own uncertainty as the next round of elections approaches, causing some enterprises to hedge their bets and avoid big investments. As the world’s largest economies and producers, the U.S. and China are both competitors and major trade partners, and the Chinese slowdown and current kerfuffles are unlikely to change that. Both countries will have to balance vigilance and cooperation. “If further tariffs will take place, we will see a further reorganization of supply chains, more unemployment, and further declining consumer confidence — all impacting investments in the modernization of Chinese factories,” said Stieler. In the longer term, China faces the same demographic challenges from low birthrates and an aging population that Europe and Japan face. This should also boost demand for robots, particularly in assistive roles. China’s growing middle and upper classes are still interested in high-end foreign goods, and the Chinese slowdown may not last long, noted Bloomberg. The Year of the Pig could still bring prosperity. “We are seeing strong stimulus measures, which might overshadow the weak consumer confidence,” noted Stieler. “In case of an agreement and the stabilization of the trade tariff situation, we might actually see a snap back in investment by manufacturers as delayed decisions are finally implemented. Investments this year might be stronger than initially anticipated.” Even if the Chinese slowdown exacerbates a global economic recession, a careful combination of new applications, wise investments in staffing, and assessing other markets should help robotics and AI developers and users weather the storm.

Mayor Paul Heroux said he is inviting not just city and school officials but parents, students and those who advocated for a new high school. Preliminary construction of the $260 million project has already begun with a parking lot and athletic fields torn up to make way for new utility lines, but groundbreaking on the building is set for Oct. 3 at 10 a.m. The mayor said he wanted to wait until students were back in school before holding the groundbreaking because he wanted them to participate. Heroux said of the project, “this is a big deal,” and noted the city only builds a new school once every 20 to 30 years. The current high school is more than 50 years old. Construction is expected to take about three years with an opening day set for September of 2022 on the 470,000- square-foot structure.

The announcement comes amid growth in other industries and at Virginia Tech. Dozens of tech companies here are hiring, like 1901 Group, which will soon add a whole new building, contributing to the large jobs prediction: 801 more jobs in IT in the New River Valley in the next 18 months, according to projections in a new study released Tuesday. Wendi Pannell says she’s the “poster child” for successful hiring. The tech company Ozmo in Blacksburg convinced her and her family to move here earlier this year. “The area is just gorgeous, every season of this area,” Pannell said. “And the schools, nothing but good things about the schools. In fact, I think it’s a battle between the regions on whose school is the best.” She’s a leader at Ozmo, which helps customer service workers and consumers troubleshoot apps on various devices.

Mr Tami was first elected in 2001. In the EU referendum Alyn and Deeside voted leave by 58%, according to estimates from the Commons Library.

Mark Tami has been the MP for Alyn and Deeside for the past 18 years. He lives in the constituency with his wife and his children grew up locally. "I have always been a locally focused MP as I believe that where my priorities should lie. Prior to entering Parliament I worked for the Engineering and Electrical Union and have always been a strong supporter of our manufacturing industry which is so important to our area. Whatever happens with Brexit we need an experienced voice to stand up for our area and fight for quality jobs and decent earnings. "I went into politics because I saw the gains won by Labour- an NHS, quality education for all and our proud industrial heritage attacked in the Thatcher years. I knew this wasn't right, and that we all need to fight for the things that make Britain great. Back then I hoped that by now we wouldn't still be there, fighting for the very survival of the NHS, of schools with threadbare budget, and of our steel industry which the Tories won't save whilst job cuts mount, but here we are." He says he will vote against Boris Johnson's Brexit deal. "Any Brexit deal must protect jobs at Airbus and Toyota- I could not vote for anything that would put the livelihoods of Flintshire residents at risk. I support a final say between a Labour Brexit deal which protects jobs, and remain." In Wales, he says the biggest issue is the NHS.

We're just over half way into the January transfer window now, and this week saw Chelsea midfielder Conor Gallagher join fellow arrivals and loanees Rhian Brewster and Marc Guehi when he became the Swans' third signing of the month so far. But Swans boss Steve Cooper has said it is likely that no further players will arrive this month, but players could, of course, depart the Liberty before the deadline on January 31. He said: "I don’t think there’ll be any more players coming in. I think it’s likely that players will leave but there’s no update or names to mention at the moment. "I think it could be the right for some players to have a spell away from here, either permanently or on loan. "Every decision we’re making - players in and out - is for the greater progression of the club."

Wigan boss Paul Cook on Swansea City v Wigan “It’ll be a very good game for us to be involved in, as we’ve got similar styles of play,” he said. “Swansea are going very well in the league and will have ambitions to get into the play-offs. “I really enjoyed our first half performance at Swansea last year. We should have been out of sight given the 45 minutes we had, but we couldn’t see it through. “We’ve got to give the same level of performance as we did last year, but this time we’ve got to see the game through. We were excellent in that first half. “We’ve always put patches of form together, but the biggest challenge, and this is the same for every team battling it out at the bottom, is consistency.” YJB!

But a move for Ryan Woods never materialised in the summer of 2018. However, after a tough time at Stoke, Woods has today joined Championship rivals Millwall on loan for the remainder of the 2019/20 Championship season. Ryan Woods The early Swansea City v Wigan team news The Swans will be without Mike van der Hoorn, Jordon Garrick and Joe Rodon tomorrow, although the latter two are edging ever closer to returning to action. New signings Marc Guehi, Rhian Brewster and Conor Gallagher are all in contention to feature against Wigan. As for the Latics, they have Wales striker Kieffer Moore to call upon for the first time in more than a month. He’s now recovered from an injury. But Michael Jacobs, Danny Fox and Dujon Sterling are all set to be missing while Charlie Mulgrew has returned to Blackburn following a loan spell with Paul Cook’s side. Paul Cook of Wigan Athletic Swans make real statement of intent as recruits all say same thing It’s been a largely enjoyable month - the QPR loss aside - for the Jack Army so far. So here are a few thoughts on why Swansea’s transfer business is a real statement of intent. Rhian Brewster signs for Swansea City on loan (Image: Swansea City) Matt Grimes on the key traits Swansea's new signings possess “They are three very good, talented and highly sought-after players, so it’s fantastic to bring them to the club,” the captain told the club’s official website. “They all share the ambition as the rest of the players and staff. “We need to integrate them into the team as quickly as possible and make sure they settle. They are really positive signings. “We need to be a real positive influence on this stage of their careers that they’re at. “They’re all hungry for success and that fits in perfectly with what we’re trying to do.” Rhian Brewster trains with his new Swansea City team mates Blackburn recall defender from Wigan ahead of Swansea clash Wigan will be without defender Charlie Mulgrew this weekend as he was recalled by Blackburn. The Scot played 14 times in all competitions for the Latics this term before returning to Ewood Park. Charlie Mulgrew of Wigan Athletic clears the ball The Gallagher story Chelsea’s decision to recall Conor Gallagher from his loan spell with Charlton didn’t go down well with those at The Valley. And here are the reasons behind Gallagher’s latest career move. Cooper on the new signings “Players who have won things in their career – no matter the level – know what it takes to get over the line,” he told the club’s official website. “That is something we are certainly trying to grow here. We don’t anyone here to settle for less. “Conor has won trophies, albeit at youth level along with the Europa League, and winning is a good habit. Of course, like us, his next challenge is to take that into the first-team here like he has with Charlton. “Rhian and Marc have experienced success too. If you do it a lot then you get used to how to do it, and that winning habit can help us move forward.” Rhian Brewster, George McEarchran; Marc Guehi, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Tashan Oakley-Boothe and Conor Gallagher of England pose with the trophy after the FIFA U-17 World Cup final Academy starlet set for new deal Liam Cullen is set to be handed a new contract by Swansea City.

Liam Cullen Hello and welcome to our live transfer blog! Stay tuned for all the latest Swans updates throughout the day. The Swansea City transfer digest Swansea City boss Steve Cooper says it is likely that no further players will arrive this month. Swansea have acted swiftly in the market and have been praised for doing so, with Cooper having brought in three new players. As for the rest of the month, though, Cooper believes that’s it on the incomings front. But players could yet leave South Wales before January 31. Full transfer bulletin here. Woods set for Millwall Stoke midfielder Ryan Woods is set for talks with #Millwall later today and expected to sign on loan for the rest of the season #scfc — John Percy (@JPercyTelegraph) January 16, 2020 The man at the heart of one of Swansea City’s biggest transfer sagas looks to be on the move. Ryan Woods’ nightmare spell at Stoke appears to be over, with a loan transfer to Millwall in the offing. Swansea chased him extremely hard in the summer of Graham Potter’s arrival. The top line Here we go, as promised, the top line from Cooper’s press briefing. He delivered mixed news on the injury front and updated supporters on what to expect between now and the end of January. And he obviously really rates Conor Gallagher, which is really good news for fans. Read the full piece here and let us know your thoughts. Some great stuff from the gaffer there Stay tuned for the top line They’re playing well. I watched Bristol City last week and you think, 2-0, maybe a straightforward win, but I thought Wigan were excellent on the day. They picked a fairly strong team in the FA Cup against Leicester and gave a good showing there. We go into games with the focus first on ourselves but you can’t take any note of league table or form in this league. You can see by some of the results we’ve had, good or bad, have not been a reflection of the league. We’re really keen to get back to the Liberty and play well and win games More on van der Hoorn We’re hoping it settles down. He had an inflammation around the knee that didn’t settle down. We’re giving him more time to rest now and we’ll get it checked again this time next week and then we’ll know a bit more. It’s been complicated but we’re on top of it. We can’t do much more at the moment. It won’t be this weekend. We’re not ruling him out for the week after, but hopefully from there, all being well, it goes smoothly and he’ll be ready to get back in the team, back to the levels he were at before which were outstanding. I think he needs to focus on the short term. He’s had a fair bit of a lay-off. I don’t think he’s looked too far ahead. He’s got to get back in our team first. When he gets in he’ll have to play well and then excel. If by then he’s ready to be considered again for Wales that will be Ryan’s (Giggs) prerogative Joe Rodon is edging closer to a return Injuries? Mike is going to be out for at least a month. We got that confirmed before the Cardiff game. It’s been a complicated one in terms of diagnosing it. It’s probably three weeks from now. Joe Rodon is back on the grass today. It’s always a buzz to see our local CB back in his training kit, passing the all. He’s not in full training yet but we’re all buzzing that he’s back out with us, he’s been brilliant in his rehab, but he’s been a pain in the bum! Jordon Garrick returns next week as well. I’m excited about that as well. Jordon and Joe will have to work hard and maybe get some minutes with the U23s to get up to speed. 6 loans? We’re aware of that. Whatever team and squad we pick for any game, there’s going to be good players not getting changed. It’s happened already. We’ll continue to go through the processes for games. I don’t see it being a massive factor in team selection Encouraging, despite finances? Of course there’s always context around a club’s situations, that’s always the case, but we are working with where the club is at the moment, and I’ve always said whatever constraints there are, we’ll always give our best. If you have that mentality you’ll get what you deserve More signings? Whatever I say you won’t believe me. I’ll be honest, when I said we wouldn’t do anything I genuinely thought that was the case. I don’t think there’ll be any more players coming in. I think it’s likely players will leave but there’s no update at the moment. I think it’s right some players could have a spell away from here, either permanently or on loan Swansea City's Steve Cooper Six NationsHow the world rugby rankings table looks ahead of the Six NationsWales soon begin their Six Nations title defence Wales Rugby TeamWhat happened next to the other Wales teenage sensations who came before Louis Rees-ZammitA number of Wales' young guns went on to do great things, while it didn't always go according to plan for others Swansea City FCSwansea City's Steve Cooper lavishes praise on Liverpool and Chelsea stars Rhian Brewster and Conor Gallagher as play-offs move into sightSwansea's new signings impressed on their maiden outings at the Liberty Stadium as Steve Cooper's men beat Wigan 2-1	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0016.json.gz/line3151
__label__wiki	0.966435	0.966435	Philadelphia gunman in custody after hours-long standoff AP National News by: CHRISTINA PACIOLLA and CLAUDIA LAUER, AP Posted: Aug 14, 2019 / 05:32 PM EDT / Updated: Aug 15, 2019 / 05:17 AM EDT PHILADELPHIA (AP) — A gunman who opened fire on police Wednesday as they were serving a drug warrant in Philadelphia, wounding six officers and triggering a standoff that extended into the night, is in police custody, authorities said. Philadelphia police Sgt. Eric Gripp said early Thursday morning that the man was taken into custody after an hourslong standoff with police. UPDATE: Suspect is in custody. SWAT is still clearing the house — Eric Gripp (@PPDEricGripp) August 15, 2019 The shooting began around 4:30 p.m. as officers went to a home in a north Philadelphia neighborhood of brick and stone rowhomes to serve a narcotics warrant in an operation “that went awry almost immediately,” Philadelphia Police Commissioner Richard Ross said. Many officers “had to escape through windows and doors to get (away) from a barrage of bullets,” Ross said. The six officers who were struck by gunfire have been released from hospitals, Philadelphia police Sgt. Eric Gripp said. UPDATE: ALL six officers who were shot have been released from area hospitals. One Officer is being admitted for injuries sustained in a vehicle crash related to the incident. Situation remains active and ongoing. Two other officers were trapped inside the house for about five hours after the shooting broke out but were freed by a SWAT team well after darkness fell on the residential neighborhood. Three people that officers had taken into custody in the house before the shooting started were also safely evacuated. “It’s nothing short of a miracle that we don’t have multiple officers killed today,” Ross said. Temple University locked down part of its campus, and several children and staff were trapped for some time in a nearby day care. Parents/Guardians of Children from Shake, Rattle & Roll Learning Center at 3625 N. Broad, and Precious Babies Daycare at 1433 Erie: You can retrieve your children at 3643 Germantown Ave on the Bus out front Police tried to push crowds of onlookers and residents back from the scene. In police radio broadcasts, officers could be heard calling for backup as reports of officers getting shot poured in. “I was just coming off the train and I was walking upstairs and there were people running back downstairs who said that there was someone up there shooting cops,” said Abdul Rahman Muhammad, 21, an off-duty medic. “There was just a lot of screaming and chaos.” UPDATE: Suspect is still firing. SIX (6) PPD Officers shot – at area hospitals with non life threatening injuries. Additional officers also receiving treatment for non-gunshot injuries. Continue to avoid area. Situation is active and ongoing. Police implored the gunman to surrender, at one point patching in his lawyer on the phone with him to try to persuade him to give up, Ross said. “We’re doing everything within our power to get him to come out,” Ross said during the standoff. “He has the highest assurance he’s not going to be harmed when he comes out.” Officers are attempting to communicate with the shooter; imploring him to surrender and avoid further injuries. Dozens of officers on foot lined the streets. Others were in cars and some on horses. The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives said its agents responded to the scene to assist Philadelphia police. President Donald Trump and Attorney General William Barr were briefed on the shooting, officials said. Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said he was thankful that officers’ injuries weren’t life-threatening. “I’m a little angry about someone having all that weaponry and all that firepower, but we’ll get to that another day,” Kenney said.

__label__cc	0.531858	0.468142	Customs, Excise, VAT & Trade Remedies Insolvency, Business Re-structuring & Business Rescue Local Government & Administration Mining, Minerals & Energy Pension & Employee Benefits Property & Conveyancing A New General Authorisation for Waste Related Activities may be in the Pipeline Practice Area(s): Environmental Law The Director General of the Department of Water and Sanitation has extended the duration and application of the general authorisation for waste related activities until a new general authorisation for such activities is gazetted. The general authorisation was first published in 2004 and has previously been extended and revised. The general authorisation applies to the following water uses listed under section 21 of the National Water Act (the Act): “(e) engaging in a controlled activity identified as such in section 37 (1) or declared under section 38 (1); (f) discharging waste or water containing waste into a water resource through a pipe, canal, sewer, sea outfall or other conduit; (g) disposing of waste in a manner which may detrimentally impact on a water resource; (h) disposing in any manner of water which contains waste from, or which has been heated in, any industrial or power generation process; (j) removing, discharging or disposing of water found underground if it is necessary for the efficient continuation of an activity or for the safety of people”. What is a General Authorisation? A general authorisation is permission to use water without having to apply for a water use licence for activities or water use listed under section 21 of the Act. However, a general authorisation does not replace or limit an entitlement to use water, such as an existing lawful water use or a licence, which a person may have in terms of the Act. In fact, a general authorisation may be restricted to a particular water resource, a particular category of persons, a defined geographical area or a period of time, and requires conformity with other relevant legislation. The previous extension of the general authorisation was valid for a period of five years from its publication and due to this current continuation, the conditions and limitations of such authorisation will remain effective until the new general authorisation for waste related activities is published. A new general authorisation may amend or alter conditions, variables and limitations contained in the current authorisation. This may result in either new users forming part of the general authorisation or users falling out from its application, due to increased or decreased standards. Water users are pretty much in the same boat as they were before the effluxion of the previous extension and one can only wait and see if the new general authorisation alluded to by Director General will bring about any change, if it is ever published.

__label__cc	0.616651	0.383349	California allows 'light-duty' self-driving delivery vehicles Autoblog• December 18, 2019 Self-driving delivery vehicles could soon become a relatively common sight on California streets. The state's Department of Motor Vehicles will allow "light-duty" autonomous delivery vehicles under 10,001 pounds for testing and commercial uses. Companies will need permits that vary depending on whether or not a backup driver is involved, but this will allow everything from modified passenger cars to purpose-built vans to carry groceries, pizza orders and other forms of cargo. Tests with backup drivers will require proof of relevant testing under controlled conditions, trained drivers with clean records and timely reports for collisions and human interventions. Completely driverless tests, meanwhile, will also require notifying authorities, a certified link to a remote operator, a police "interaction plan" and verification that the cars meet federal safety standards as well as truly autonomous (Level 4 or 5) capabilities. Full-fledged public use will require still more, including vehicle data recorders, certified resistance to cyberattacks, assurances that it's safe to deploy and the ability to share vehicle owner and operator info in the event of a crash. The DMV can start approving permits in 30 days, or around January 17th, 2020. There are already companies lining up. Nuro, known for its completely driverless courier vehicles, has signaled its intent to apply for a permit. This could also help Ford and others test autonomous delivery in the state. This also steps up pressure on Waymo. While it's focused on passengers rather than produce, it's currently the only company with a permit to test fully driverless vehicles in California. Once permits for delivery vehicles are available, it'll have to share the road with potential rivals. Reporting by Jon Fingas for Engadget.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0016.json.gz/line3156

The Netflix Original kids lineup is dominated with animated titles but some of the best and most loved titles are its live action titles. These include series like Greenhouse Academy but one of the most popular by a longshot is Free Rein. The series originates from the United Kingdom and follows an American girl who relocates to England and befriends a mysterious horse. The series looked to be on a yearly release schedule but that appears to have sped up now that season 2 was released. Season 1 landed on Netflix in June 2017. Season 2 released on Netflix in July 2018. Is Season 3 of Free Rein Happening? Yes, season 3 has already been renewed and teased on social media.

This spring sees the return of Pestival – the brilliant festival of insect-related occurrences – and this time, they’re taking over the Wellcome Collection. Across a month-long season of games, installations, debates, discussions and dinners, visitors will be encouraged to reconsider humanity’s relationship with the insect world. Highlights include an installation entitled Insects au Gratin, by Susana Soares and Steak Studio, which proposes entomophagy (the eating of insects) as the solution to humanity’s consumption challenges, whilst Exploring the Deliciousness of Insects sees the Noma-founded Nordic Food Lab present a series of insect-based snacks and canapés. There’s also walking tours, debates, and a fast-paced strategy game which pits humans against a nest of ants. The first ever Pestival took place in Barnes back in 2006, and was co-produced with Mark Pilkington, but it was in 2009 at the South Bank Centre that Pestival really rose to prominence. Featuring the likes of Graham Coxon, Bob and Roberta Smith, Robin Ince and the wonderful Tessa Farmer, Pestival was visited by over 200,000 in just three days. A month-long season at the Wellcome Collection seems like the perfect next step. As the EU ban on the neonicotinoid pesticides responsible for colony collapse disorder in global bee populations was vetoed last week, the question of “Who’s The Pest?” is sadly more apt than ever. Who’s the Pest? is taking place at the Wellcome Collection, London from 18th April to 16th May 2013.

Photograph:( AFP ) Emery's position is under the spotlight after two wins in Arsenal's last 10 league games with the latest setback coming in a 2-0 defeat at high-flying Leicester City on Saturday. Arsenal manager Unai Emery has been given the club's public backing but the Premier League side's hierarchy has warned the Spaniard that results must improve, the BBC reported on Monday. However, the sixth-placed London club's head of football Raul Sanllehi and managing director Vinai Venkatesham have no immediate plans to make a change of manager. "We firmly believe Unai is the right man for the job," the BBC reported them as telling more than 200 staff from across the club at a pre-planned meeting on Monday. "We are as disappointed as everyone else with both our results and performances at this stage of the season. "We share the frustration with our fans, Unai, players and all our staff as they are not at the level we want or expect. Things need to improve to meet our objectives for the season." "We are all working intensively behind the scenes to turn things around and are confident we will." Emery, 48, was appointed as Arsene Wenger's successor in May 2018 and his first season ended with a 4-1 Europa League final loss to Chelsea, having missed out on the top four by a point. The currently have 17 points from 12 games and are eight points adrift of the Champions League places.

__label__cc	0.547244	0.452756	HP ProBook 450 G5 Bluetooth Driver HP ProBook 450 G5 Bluetooth Driver – HP ProBook 450 G5 Bluetooth driver is a software component that allows the operating system to communicate with HP ProBook 450 G5 Bluetooth Adapter Card. If you own HP ProBook 450 G5 and looking for Bluetooth drivers, you have landed on the right site. You can download HP ProBook 450 G5 Bluetooth driver here, with a simply click on the “Download Link” below. The ProBook was not designed for games. Only old games with a low configuration are not too demanding in Intel UHD Graphics 620. Even with the optional Nvidia GeForce 930MX, the ProBook will not be the best gaming machine. With an AMD Radeon RX 550 processor, the ThinkPad E580 has a definite advantage in this area. When idle, the ProBook 450 G5 fan shuts off and, even at low load, runs infrequently. Even under load, the fans remain very quiet, which should come as no surprise considering the size of the laptop, the low-power processor and the lack of an additional graphics processor. HP ProBook 450 G5 Bluetooth Driver Download The ThinkPad E580 with an Intel graphics processor, for example, remained equally silent. When testing with Prime95 or FurMark, the ProBook processor can consume 25W for 30 seconds, after which it is limited to 15 W. Therefore, the base frequency is reduced to 1.6GHz accordingly. During testing, temperatures increased to 174.2 ° F (79 ° C). We came to the conclusion that HP had defined a temperature limit there, noting how the frequency had dropped to 1.2 GHz thereafter. This means that, even if a temperature-based control is present, it should not create a problem during normal use, since a 3DMark11 analysis after the stress tests gave a normal result. The exterior of the chassis reached a maximum temperature of 45.5 ° C (113.9 ° F) under load, which is noticeably hot, but not extremely hot. The ProBook 450 G5 does not present what we consider exceptional speakers, although we have seen worse, for example, in the ThinkPad E580. ProBook speakers offer more volume, balanced sound and take advantage of its superior location. However, as is often the case, there is a complete lack of bass. As an alternative, of course, you can still use the headphone jack on the left side of the laptop. The power consumption of the ProBook 450 G5 is satisfactory and, for Ultrabooks, at the expected level. In heavy loads, the power consumption can reach 46 W. This is more than the 45 W provided by the included AC adapter. However, since consumption decreases anyway due to limitation, this should not be a serious problem for users. The built-in lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 48 Wh. This leads to a respectable seven hours and 43 minutes on our true Wi-Fi test. It should be noted, however, that its predecessor, the ProBook 450 G4, has achieved an even greater result. With a full charge of less than two hours, it would not be incorrect to say that the ProBook 450 G5 supports fast charging.

The 27-year old climber who was 2nd in the Mediterranean Games earlier this year and represented Spain at the 2016 Olympic Games will bring a wealth of experience, having been a professional since 2010. The former Spanish road race champion was 3rd at GP de Plumelec Morbihan and 9th place overall at the Giro d’Italia adding three top ten results on stages said: “It’s an exciting change for me to join WNT-ROTOR Pro Cycling. My focus will remain on the hillier races and stage races, nevertheless I’m very proud and enthusiastic to join this ambitious team.” Cutting Tools Europe managing director, Claude Sun added: “It’s very nice to have a Spanish Basque rider in our international team. The Spanish market is very important for the Ceratizit Group and furthermore Spain have strong support and promotion for women’s cycling.” Santesteban is the third rider joining after we announced Kirsten Wild and Lisa Brennauer earlier in the week. WNT – Cutting Tool supplier with connection to the cycling industry WNT is CERATIZIT Group’s competence brand for mass distribution and regional sales, offering high quality cutting tools and a unique service to small and medium-sized enterprises.

__label__cc	0.633712	0.366288	New Water/Botanical Garden for the State of Arkansas - University of Arkansas Community Design Center Geo Museum & Science Center - MZA Architecture Golden Cage - John Marx / Form4 Architecture Shenzhen Longhua Archive Library by Cultural Architecture Form4 Architecture Civic future projects showcase the spectacular Alison Carter Designs for a botanical garden, a Burning Man base, a geology inspired science centre and a culturally future proofed library reflect architects’ talent for imagination and practically on a global basis. Shenzhen Longhua Archive Library - Cultural Architecture is located in the north of the Shenzhen Longhua Guanlan Cultural and Art Center. The two narrow sites are connected with a bridge over a public road running in the middle and are of different heights to avoid any overlooking issues. The greatest challenge faced in designing the library was finding the balance between security and public elements of the building whilst working with the urban context to provide those flexible spaces for diverse cultural future needs. A study looking at a new water and botanical garden for the State of Arkansas revives the forgotten vision for a national water/botanical garden by renowned mid-century architect Edward Durell Stone, a native Arkansan. Stone designed a monumental cliffside park to accompany the Greers Ferry Dam in 1962. The dam was part of a reservoir-building program to generate hydroelectric power in tandem with economic development and new town development for this rural area. Influenced by the hydraulics in Roman and Persian water gardens, Stone’s masterful vision deployed late modernist tropes combining monumentality and glamour across the 269-acre (109 ha) site. A new national park is known as ‘the Cradle of Chinese Geology’ in the Nanjing Fangshan Mountains was until recently a site used for processing concrete. Due to significant amounts of quarrying, much of the geology has been changed and the new Geo Museum and Science Center provides a clear glimpse into the history of this natural Chinese treasure. To acknowledge the industrial heritage of this site, the existing processing buildings, the material conveyor belt, and the towering silos have been preserved and converted into exhibition spaces, a passenger conveying system, and sightseeing facilities respectively. A new, similarly scaled, building blends in seamlessly with the existing industrial context; its green roof melds into the hillside reducing the visual impact on this naturally beautiful site. The lyrical symbolism of metamorphoses is the theme for the Golden Cage, a Burning Man base pavilion design. It suggests an experience symbolizing the nature of transformation, following a path of mystery and ambiguity. Five concepts are interwoven to create the central structure, loosely based on Ovid’s tales from 8 AD. The first takes the form of two heroic wings, the second is expressed by a large blue sphere, symbolizing the earth and all the potential our time on this planet represents. The third, the figure of two large arms which seem to offer up the globe to the heavens, is an adaptation of Ovid’s dark tale of Apollo pursuing Daphne. The fourth is the Golden Cage surrounding the Man, representing the internal and external forces and the last concept involves the power of the human heart.

__label__cc	0.694398	0.305602	Jewish Scene Rabbis to IDF: Solve women's singing issue Kobi Nahshoni 1. Which solution they want to seek? Jew1 , Ashdod (09.12.11) I hope the solution will not come on account of woman's right and freedom. IDf, please remember that women were part of IDF in every possible way from the initial stage of this country. Please do not dis-regard her and her rights to price someone who just woke up now. If they have problem, they they should be allowed to be not participated in ceremony but do not ask woman not to sing. We are a democratic country with equal rights to every gender and not a property of some fanatic lunatics... 2. YES to solving the problems... ORA , JERUSALEM (09.12.11) with fair debating,and keeping the people of Israel united.This is the unescapable condition to win on all fronts. 3. rabbis are right Israel Israeli , Tel Aviv (09.12.11) In every army I know officers are selected by their ability to defeat the enemy, not by the kind of entertainment they like. A solution? No one is forced to watch entertainment. You can see women singing, I will watch football. Now a question: Is it OK that I fire my secretary if she refuses to watch a "blue movie" with me? If it isn't OK, why is firing the soldiers OK? 4. Pass out ear plugs R , Israel (09.12.11) 5. Corrupted Command Structure Adam Neira , Melb, Australia (09.12.11) I disagree with Rabbi Yona Metzger and Rabbi Shlomo Amar on this point. Why ? Because the IDF is such a vital organ of the state certain philosophies and principles should be adhered to. The overarching philosophy and plan for the Jewish people is the superset to the IDF's orientation. Philosophy first. Public policy second. I also think the good Rabbis are trying to appease their religious base and are attempting a bit of mediation and peacemaking which is honourable. But sometimes you need to just completely shift to a different position quickly. Equivocation like fence sitting can be painful. Like a pregnancy that is over term, things need to be induced decisively to usher in a new paradigm. Also I can't for the life of me find any immodesty or darkness in the idea that a woman would sing a nice song in a mood of spiritual uplift in a mixed group. There are female opera singers no ? I am sure that King David would have listened to female singers, as Moses would have done so in the Sinai under the stars. What a drab, austere world we will have if men and women can't enjoy certain things together. P.S. I have commented elsewhere on about the danger of corruption of certain command and control structures. 6. Who is in charge of the IDF? Yehudiyah , US (09.12.11) The overarching fact is that ALL Israelis, men and women, are to serve in the IDF as fellow soldiers. One gender is to not be treated differently than the other. When women soldiers are discriminated against in any way by their fellow male soldiers, it undermines the the morale and unity of all of the soldiers, especially the female soldiers. If the issue of a woman singing an innocent non-sexual song while wearing an unflattering IDF issued uniform cannot be tolerated by other officers, then this becomes a big problem affecting the whole IDF. It speaks to another issue. If a religious male soldier and a fellow female soldier are in a battle situation where the woman is injured, would the religious male soldier be able to touch her in order to pull her to safety? Would the religious male soldier do so to save her life, or would he not do so because of zniut (modesty), and leave her there because of his religious beliefs that he cannot touch her because she is not his wife? The issue of gender discrimination based on religious beliefs should not be tolerated in a fully gender integrated army such as the IDF. 7. #1 i , jerusalem (09.12.11) the solution is for the commander to be demoted and transferred, and to be reeducated until he understands the difference between the regulations of their codified rights, and this was a plain case of stupidity on the part of the commander and his superiors. 8. The commander was WRONG. He could have let the women sing Bunnie Meyer , Los Angeles, CA USA (09.12.11) let the religious men leave while they were singing and NO ONE would have had their feelings harmed. But NO, he had to be a BULLY, he had to force the issue and throw out religious soldiers who wanted to serve their country. The commander should be retrained and the soldiers reinstated. 9. female singers an issue? Ze'ev , Nbg, germany (09.12.11) Well, since when are female singers an issue in a fair and democratic state? The law bases on the term that men and women are equal? or did I miss something? 10. listen to music of soldiers too moron , galut (09.12.11) if the secular want the religious to serve they should respect their sensitivities in small matters such as this or stop complaining..the rabbis are not asking idf to not sing! 11. Women singing is wrong? Sasq , Bartlesville, USA (09.12.11) I also do not understand, why is it wrong for women to sing? The restriction of women singing and/or listening to them being the "wrong" thing sounds very backward for such a forward thinking nation. 12. Verses of women singing in the Bible. ErnestS. (09.12.11) Source- King James Cordance on-line. 1 Samuel 18:6, 2 Samuel 19:35, 1 Chronicles 13:8, 2 Chronicles 35:25, Ezra 2:65 and Nehemiah 7:67 are verses that have women singing. What's the precedent or the argument? Psalm 133 is one to read. 13. clarification Rachel , Los Angeles (09.13.11) Just to clarify in response to some of the talkbacks, I think the Rabbis are not asking for women to be barred from singing, but rather for those men who find it contradictory to their religious beliefs to be able to opt out of listening to women singing solo. Not trying to impose their religious beliefs on others, just trying to adhere to their beliefs for themselves. 14. What is hateful to thee, do not do unto your neighbor. Sickened , Netanya (09.13.11) The idea of walking out last week shows that the religious Jews do not follow any of G-d commandments, the golden rule or common decency. Wasn't it Hillel who said, "What is hateful to thee, do not do unto your neighbor. This is the whole Torah and the rest is commentary; go and study it further!" Until the religious Jews can understand the most holy elders in history, the idea of study is a total waste of their time. Walking out last week was hateful and rude and no good Jew should behave that way 15. an acceptable trade-off Michael , Haifa (09.13.11) If religious soldiers are to be freed from being present at events where there are female singers, so should secular soldiers be freed from attending indoctrination sessions from IDF Rabbis, or Habad sidekicks, given during this month before the Chagim 16. p a t h e t i c Rahel (09.13.11) pathetic is all that comes to mind- Rabbis dictating to the military- what next? "Unbearable damage to soldier's faith" to hear a woman sing- give me a break- what hogwash. Who is in charge, the religious fanatics or the Commander in Chief? Solution? Only men in the military, including ALL religious moochers. The religious can be among themselves, fight their own wars etc. Women are exempt to lead a normal life. 17. There is nothing halachically wrong with women singing American Sabrah , Israel (09.13.11) Men are prohibited from listening to female singers above the age of 12 who are NOT related to them. Just like you can't require a religious cadet to eat non kosher and violate the Sabbath (there are allowances for life threatening situations), so to you shouldn't make it mandatory for religious soldiers to sit through an all female military concert. Let the women sing.Let those who don't want to keep kashrut eat whatever they want.But if you are going to ask us to show tolerance and acceptances towards those who are not like us, then we expect the same consideration in return. 18. #3 blue movie? rita (09.13.11) how dare you compare a woman singing to watching a blue movie? This just shows how debased you guys are. If a woman sings to her child, sings a prayer you get the hots? This woman was not doing a strip tease or singing a raunchy song I bet- yet those soldiers insulted her by walking out. The Ravs should get with it- and not interfer with the army. Instead of resenting and fighting the modern world they should try to educate their students to cope and LIVE with it. Instead they insist on totally backward thinking like mullahs- . I for one would recommend ALL women in the army walk out, next time they are forced to listen to men- sing, tell lousy jokes, pray, fart etc... 19. #18 How dare you not understand the comparison Rebecca , Modiin (09.13.11) Get off your high horse. You are all saying that singing is such a small thing that religious soldiers can bear to hear it. If it;s such a small thing then the singers can bare to have 9 soldiers not listening. As it is the rest of the soldiers were probably talking and not listening either. I'm sick of your attitude. It has to be your way because only you are right. PS I sing to my husband - and yes, it does give him "the hots" far more than me doing dishes. 20. Women have sung in the Bible. Joe (09.13.11) 20Then Miriam the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took a tambourine in her hand, and all the women followed her, with tambourines and dancing. 21 Miriam sang to them: "Sing to the LORD, for he is highly exalted. The horse and its rider he has hurled into the sea."	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0016.json.gz/line3186
__label__cc	0.599766	0.400234	York Central infrastructure funding on Executive agenda York Central, the city’s huge 72 hectare brownfield development site, will be on the agenda at next Thursday’s meeting of the Conservative-led Executive, which will consider the investment case for the York Central Enterprise Zone and recommend that full council establish a capital budget to implement the project . The report recommends the creation of a budget totalling £155m to fund core infrastructure on the site. Key to development and included in this budget are a new access road, bridge and spine road along with enabling works such as site clearance, demolitions, utility diversions and drainage. The infrastructure fund will also deliver a sizeable new park, create high quality public squares to be integrated into the built development and create a new western railway station entrance. A network of pedestrian and cycle routes through the site will integrate with an upgraded public transport hub around the railway station. The proposed budget is funded by a combination of external grants, contributions, previously agreed approvals and also council borrowing. The report proposes that the council borrows £35m which will be repaid using retained business rates from the York Central Enterprise Zone. Leader of City of York Council, Cllr Ian Gillies, said: “York Central is one of the largest brownfield sites in England and represents the biggest opportunity for development and regeneration in the city for generations. The size and scale of the area has the potential to provide new homes, Grade A commercial space, an enhanced National Railway Museum and a range of new public spaces and facilities. “To build the necessary roads, bridges and utilities to begin development we’ve put together a strategy securing funding from several different sources, with contributions from the Housing Infrastructure Fund, York, North Yorkshire and East Riding LEP and the West Yorkshire Transport Fund. This will allow us to ensure that the York Central Partnership can unlock the site whilst guaranteeing the area meets our objectives for the city and for communities, without exposing the council to unnecessary financial risk.” If the Executive approve the report the decision will be considered by full Council in December. Executive will then need to approve specific work packages when they are ready for funding from this budget.

Surrounded by lawmakers and law officials, Bieber on Thursday advocated for a bill proposed by Rep. Dawn Keefer, R-Franklin Township. (Photo: Submitted) A member of an online "pro choice" suicide forum messaged Jackie Bieber earlier this year asking if her daughter's suicide went smoothly. Now she's advocating for legislation that would ramp up penalties for such individuals. State Rep. Dawn Keefer, R-Franklin Township, on Thursday introduced legislation that would provide for sentencing enhancements for individuals who cause or aid suicide if the victim is 18 years old or younger or has an intellectual disability. Those criteria may have not applied to Shawn Shatto, Bieber's 25-year-old daughter who in May killed herself after receiving advice from an online forum. But at a Thursday news conference at the state Capitol, Bieber said she hopes this bill ignites conversation and awareness about online forums assisting people planning a suicide. "These website members are evil," Bieber said. "They are murderers who gain joy and satisfaction from the death of others. ... The people on the website took Shawn's hopes away. But we need to show people who need help that there is hope." More: Police probing 'pro-choice' suicide forum after Newberry Twp. woman's death Under the state's Crimes Code, intentionally causing or aiding suicide is a second-degree felony if the individual intentionally aids or solicits the victim to commit suicide. In other cases, the offense is considered a second-degree misdemeanor. Causing another person to commit suicide by force is criminal homicide. "These penalties are nowhere near harsh enough," Keefer said. "Our justice system must be given more tools to combat this evil, and we need to start with harsher sentencing.” With the sentencing enhancements proposed under "Shawn's Law," causing or aiding suicide would likely lead to felony charges becoming more common as well as higher-level state incarceration, said Tim Barker of the York County District Attorney's Office. Bieber and Keefer on Thursday both urged the state to provide more aid for mental health services and do all it can to raise awareness both for suicide and for the individuals who encourage it. The website that provided advice for Shatto to kill herself is under investigation by the Newberry Township police. The York Dispatch has chosen not to disclose its name. On that forum, Shatto found a method to take her own life using an easily obtainable substance, said Chief Steven Lutz. The forum has since scrubbed all mentions of Shatto and added disclaimers to the site. If you feel suicidal, or know someone who might, call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline's toll-free hotline, 800-273-8255. Or visit the organization's website at suicidepreventionlifeline.org for more information. Contributions in Shatto's memory may be made to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention at afsp.org. — Logan Hullinger can be reached at lhullinger@yorkdispatch.com or via Twitter at @LoganHullYD.

In the family, if something needs to be done, you go to Bryan — he’s the go-to-guy — because Bryan gets things done. And Bryan’s family includes the York community. After graduating from Spring Grove and Temple University, Bryan returned home to York and began participating in the community. We are extremely proud of Bryan for his work as chief of staff to Congressman Todd Platts, for whom he led a staff of 18 who served all York County residents. We’ve learned so much from Bryan about how to endow the legacy we want for the community we love that we updated our wills including a charitable bequest to the Spring Grove Educational Fund. And we’re humbled that Bryan’s peers in Rotary recognized his leadership and elected him president of their club, which provides volunteers and financial resources to make York better. We’re proud of Bryan and all he’s done for York. Please remember to vote Bryan Tate for Register of Wills on May 21.

Sundial outside Goldwin Smith Hall Sundial in the Engineering Quad With apologies to Charles Dickens, I am writing about two sundials on Cornell's campus. One is outside Goldwin Smith Hall in the Arts Quad while the other is in the Engineering Quad. As an undergrad, I didn't pay much attention to either of these works of art. Apparently, neither do current students as they hurried past me while I was taking pictures. But these two sun dials merit contemplation. One is from the past, and with the gravitas that a layer of patina brings, provokes thoughts of time and mortality. The other looks outward, and with modern, shiny arms, seeks to embrace a future where the sky's the limit. When family and friends talk about college, and when college bound students ask me what they should study, I show them these two photos and ask them which one piques their curiosity. Note: This piece, with some minor edits, originally appeared in my Cornell Reunion Blog. Bookshelf Classic: The Design and Evolution of C++ There was a time when I put a corporate seal on my favorite books. Dr. Stroustrup noticed the embossed seal, ran his fingers over it, and remarked "nice" as he signed my copy. The book was published circa 1994, and Stroustrup was on hand to give a talk to an eager C++ user group. While the book describes the early evolution of C++ -- the proposals, the decisions, the trade-offs, and the mistakes -- it is in the early sections where we learn most about the author. Stroustrup writes: "It is often claimed that the structure of a system reflects the structure of the organization that created it. Within reason, I subscribe to that idea." In my years of programming and working with management, I have found this to be very true. This was Stroustrup's way of saying the C++ language is largely shaped by who he is. While it's no surprise he has advanced degrees in mathematics and computer science, we learn that his hobbies include history and philosophy. Descr… Bookshelf Classic: The C Programming Language My first job had me programming in Microsoft BASIC for the IBM PC (DOS). BASIC worked well enough, but its limitations were clear. The language was interpreted and therefore slow. More importantly, it wasn't a modern structured language, and instead, relied on line numbers and the GOTO statement. Anyone who has read Dijkstra knew GOTO was a bad thing. Having learned a structured language in college (PL/I), using BASIC felt unnatural. When a C compiler became available for the PC, I saw a chance to improve and modernize our software. The problem was selling the idea -- a problem made harder because I wasn't fluent in C. "It would be a staffing problem. Not many people know C, but we can find a lot of programmers who know BASIC," noted one manager. The argument was strong as my knowledge of C was weak. But I knew that C, by design, was a small language and thus easy to learn. "It has about 30 keywords," I proffered to another manager. Unimpressed, h… Programming Languages I've Loved and Hated Upon encountering various programming languages during my career, some appealed to me instantly, while others left me cold. I never really understood why, but perhaps by writing about them, I can discern a pattern. PL/C: This was the first language I learned. Structured, imperative, and procedural, PL/C was Cornell's teaching variant of PL/1, and the language shaped much of my thinking. It was a good language, and I liked it, but it was also an academic language and one I would never see or use again. Basic (IBM PC): It was hate at first sight. The language relied on line numbers, needed GOTOs, and was interpreted. But it was early in the PC days and I had to use it if I wanted to do anything useful. In time, Basic became a compiled language and eventually evolved into Visual Basic for Windows programmers. But even then, the first version of Visual Basic did not directly support arrays, an omission that convinced me that Basic would forever be a dumbed-down language. The Best Selling Tech Book On Amazon Is ... After reviewing some books I considered classics¹, I wondered what tomes were popular nowadays. I was disappointed to learn the #1 best seller on Amazon, in the category of data structure and algorithms, was Cracking the Coding Interview. Was this a direct result of raising students on "teaching to the test?" Were companies so confused about hiring, they needed to administer a programming puzzle to find a suitable candidate? The reviews ranked Cracking the Coding Interview highly, and the contents were substantive, not fluff. Yet, glancing over to my bookshelf, I would want candidates to be acquainted with titles like these: More Programming Pearls by Jon Bentley, The Cathedral & The Bazaar by Eric S. Raymond, Algorithms in C by Robert Sedgewick, and a classic-to-be, Joel On Software by Joel Spolsky. When software development was novel (circa 1980), a popular notion was that the skills required for programming were similar to the skills needed in music and chess.

__label__wiki	0.949305	0.949305	Female Passenger Dragged Off Of Southwest Airlines Flight Source: Raymond Boyd / Getty LOS ANGELES — A Southwest Airlines passenger who said she had a life-threatening pet allergy was physically removed from a Los Angeles-bound plane prior to taking off in Baltimore Tuesday, and the incident was captured by fellow passengers on video, according to KTLA. Passengers were already aboard Southwest Flight 1525 when the pilot and several Baltimore transportation officers went to the back of the plane to speak with a woman who was having a problem, said Bill Dumas, who recorded video. There were two dogs on the plane and the woman had asked that they be removed because she had a deadly allergy, Dumas said. Southwest Airlines said in a statement that one of the dogs was an “emotional support” animal and the other was a pet. When the passenger was informed that Southwest could not remove the paying passengers or dogs due to airline’s policy, Dumas said the woman indicated she wanted to stay on the flight. But crew members were concerned they would need to divert the flight if she had a reaction. Southwest’s statement described the airline’s policy and what happened: “Our policy states that a Customer (without a medical certificate) may be denied boarding if they report a life-threatening allergic reaction and cannot travel safely with an animal onboard. Our Flight Crew made repeated attempts to explain the situation to the Customer, however, she refused to deplane and law enforcement became involved.” The woman was asked to leave the plane but refused, Dumas said. “Everything was very quiet up until a decision was made that this woman would have to be physically removed from the plane,” Dumas said. “She just put up a lot of resistance and was adamant about not being taken off the plane.” In the video, the woman says her father has to have surgery, apparently in an explanation of why she needed to stay on the plane. She and the officer struggled, with the woman repeatedly saying “don’t touch me” and that she would walk off the aircraft on her own. An officer, one of three who can be seen in the video, shouts “walk” at her multiple times. “I am a professor. What are you doing?” she says to the officer. Southwest apologized to the woman, who has not been identified.

__label__wiki	0.558169	0.558169	Doctor Who-My Angel April 16, 2017 zariusii Leave a comment Prior to the sensations one experiences with the real thing, it is photographs that are your infant footsteps into the mists of time. The day you’re born, the day you marry, the day life you’ve yourself created comes to life, and the cycle repeats. All of it contained in photographs. In her attack on Bannermen Road, Sarah Jane Smith was looking over one such photograph, trying to solve a puzzle. She had been resisting a desire to sort it out at later date, but something was compelling her to examine it more thoroughly now. It had been sent to her via a time/space telegram courtesy of her computer Mr. Smith, who had intercepted it. The photograph, a colourful photo of what appeared to be a bright and bustling summer’s day, two young and energized people standing still in the midst of a traffic jam surrounding a vast futuristic city with golden spires and lush gardens growing from every rooftop. They stood transfixed, one holding the other tightly, beside him a small grey and white cylinder. It was tranquil, it allowed her present mood to settle. She turned back to her computer to resume her Skype call, all too suddenly reminded why she had put off her examination. “You alright Mum?” Luke Smith asked as they continued their online chat. “Tell me more about this Earl ‘Early’ Ladd” she asked “Well, he kind of got that nickname from how early his social care buddies always were with him. He’s sort of become the envy of the rest of the dorm at the moment, his carers caught wind one of his interests was professional wrestling, so they found someone who had connections with the business and were keen to give him an opportunity to interview them” “Oh my, I hope he doesn’t feel too overwhelmed” a concerned Sarah asked “He did sort of vent to me about it, he said he was starting to feel less like a person and more of a project, something for the programme to brag about if he ever achieved success through those opportunities” “He should make that clear to his carers then, when’s this interview due?” “It’s just past midnight, so sometime this afternoon, Saturday the twenty-ninth, the choice is entirely up to him” Luke couldn’t help but notice that Sarah Jane was starting to look a bit distant. Her eyes had widened, her face looked visibly fragile. She peered over at a calendar and let out a small giggle. Luke kept his eyes trained on her eyes. “Mum?” he asked “Oh don’t mind me, it’s silly” she said. “No, it’s sad” came a voice from behind her. Sarah turned around to find a lean, tall, somewhat elder man standing in front of a bulky police call box situated in the centre of the loft. “Mum…is that…” Luke began as he recognized the police box as belonging to a friend of the family, The Doctor. Sarah swiftly turned back to the computer and cut him off. “We’ll talk later, ok? You be a good boy and pop off to bed, dream of the next day, or the day before, pick and choose, just don’t worry about tonight” “Any dream will do” said the man. “But Mum…” Luke spoke. “I love you” Sarah continued. With a punch of a key, the Skype chat was cut off, and Sarah turned to address her visitor. “Yes, well, memories can be sad as well as kind I suppose” she said “Tell me what’s wrong” The Doctor replied “It’s an important date today, surprised you remembered it” Sarah said, folding her arms. “I count all the anniversaries…none of them get past me” The Doctor replied. “We both know from experience some people evade time” Sarah replied. “Not always by choice Sarah” The Doctor responded. “That photograph you sent me…from the far future correct?” “Correct” said The Doctor. “Who’s future is it? Yours, or mine?” “There’s a third answer to that” “Yes, well I’m not entertaining it” “Yes, I imagine you wouldn’t” The Doctor remarked. “I shouldn’t even have asked you the first question” Sarah replied. “Days like these to a time traveller…they provide all sorts of questions, even the answers are riddles to us all” The Doctor answered back. “Is that why you’ve come…to help us sort something out? Keep that future in place, or are we to prevent it from happening?” “That would entail running towards something, I just dropped in to say why I’m not dropping in on this day a lifetime ago…why it has to be me” “I got careless Sarah…incredibly careless. Something happened at the Olympic Games last year for you…so many years past for me now” “I saw it on the news, you carrying the torch, I was beaming with pride” Sarah replied. ” I was there twice that day Sarah, a runner with the torch came under attack. I saved him” “Saved him from what?” “I delivered him from Angels” The Doctor replied, walking over to a table and flicking small traces of dust from atop it. “So what was the problem?” “The Angel found its way into the TARDIS, it gathered up as much artron energy as it could muster and it hid itself away, lurked undetected and followed us all the way back to Manhattan where we dealt with other Angels…and when we tucked time back into place, it picked it’s moment to strike…and it took them Sarah, my friends…sacrificed to it…’my Angel'” “Is that how you lost her?” Sarah asked, knowing what this meant. “She chose her heart over her head, it’s love, it triumphs, that’s all I can take from this” “You must tire so easily these days” “Of what?” The Doctor asked “Of how many times your hearts break” “So many of them stray so far beyond me…this one was different, this one encouraged me to go on..just for a bit longer” “And you did?” Sarah asked. “Eventually, life sent forth a spark, one that lit the milky way, it will take a very special star in the eye of another to match what I saw in that…whoever that may be, I intend to give their name and their face a place in my memory” “You’ve forgotten the last one? You?” Sarah said, slightly aghast. “It surprises even me too” “But you remember the feelings that person gave you, it’s strong…as strong as when you said…” She trailed off, not wanting to add further tension, The Doctor opted to finish her sentence for her “…As strong as when I said goodbye to you. You and one other” “Other? There was another?” Sarah asked. “Her name was River…” The Doctor replied. A chap came from the TARDIS doors, The Doctor’s plump and oafish assistant Nardole stepped forward. “Interrupting am I?” he asked. “Hopefully it’s with good news” The Doctor remarked. Nardole waved to Sarah, who nimbly waved back. “Doctor, the temporal tears over Manhattan were made of the same artron storms as those over Coal Hill” “Are you trying to tell me our attempts to deflect the tears caused them to bounce off one continental radius to another?” “Were they supposed to?” asked Nardole. “I’ve got to get over there as soon as possible, someone may lose an arm or a leg over all this” The Doctor remarked, and ushered Nardole back into the TARDIS. He took a look back at Sarah. “I’m on call” he said. “Do your duty” she said. Before he entered The TARDIS, The Doctor froze, and looked back up at her. “When River and I last parted…I said goodbye, but I never called her mine. She’d kill me if I ever claimed her as my property” “It’s never been about property Doctor, it’s always been about the promise. Promise me you’ll be safe…that you’ll always be safe” “Goodbye, my Sarah Jane” The Doctor replied, permitting himself a wry smile, before entering his faithful ship. As he began punching in co-ordinates and cross-examining tears settling across the Manhattan and Coal Hill skyline, Nardole saw fit to intercede again. “You know I was running a background check on that photograph you sent Ms. Smith and I was fascinated by it, apparently it’s meant to be a representation of a secret commitment ceremony that Time Lords make to those they consider compatible soul mates that they are torn from by time and duty …was there any particular reason you…” “If I were you, I’d just answer the call” The Doctor remarked. “That didn’t work out so well for Melissa McCarthy” remarked Nardole. The TARDIS dematerialized, leaving Sarah Jane Smith to tend to her moist eyes, her tense emotions, her photograph, and her eternal promise. “God speed my Doctor…….MY angel” she whispered. doctor whoelisabeth sladenFANFICTIONgood as goldmatt lucasnardolepeter capaldisarah jane smithThe Sarah Jane Adventuresthertwelth doctor Doctor Who-Return of Doctor Mysterio [Fanedit] It’s been a while, but he’s back, and it’s “about time” for a new DW fanedit. This time I thought I’d tackle the most recent episode, the 2016 Christmas special. A lot had been cut out of my original edit of this, as I thought leaving out much of how Grant acquired his powers would be better for the imagination, so all you get is the gist of it: He swallowed an alien gemstone, he met The Doctor when he was young, and that’s basically it. But then I came up with a much better idea. This time we keep the high school flashbacl..indeed it’s now our first scene, we just lose the erection joke, and cut to Grant and the Doctor talking things over at Lucy’s apartment before Grant heads off into action as The Ghost…and there’s your titles! The concept here is that The Doctor is here on business investigating Harmony Shoal and decided to drop in on his old friend Grant at the same time. He still asks Lucy who she is in the scene at Harmony Shoal but the impression I’m trying to convey is that this is just a formality. Right after Grant drops her off home, the Doc immediately returns there and talks to her. password: mysterio Also removed completely is everything and anything to do with Mr. Huffle Good luck Pearl Mackie, so long Steven, and to you Peter…be happy! 2016christmas specialdoctor mysteriodoctor whofaneditmatt lucasnardole	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0016.json.gz/line3201

In this video, you will learn how entrepreneurs make their elevator pitches stronger, by using their voice, body language and eye contact. In Video 7, you learned how entrepreneurs used effective hooks to get the attention and interest of investors. In this video, we will not look at what they say in a pitch, instead, we will look at how they say it. How speakers use their voice, body language, and eye contact, all play an important part in helping people understand and remember an elevator pitch. Let's start with voice. Entrepreneurs can use their voice to stress important words in their pitch. Remember that stress makes words sound louder, longer, and higher pitch. Specifically, it's a good idea to stress the intensifiers. As you remember from Unit 3, the intensifiers are the words, much, very, and even. Let's look more closely at three sentences from a pitch for Best Bicycle Delivery Service. I'll say each sentence twice. The first time, I will not use much word stress. The second time, I'll put a lot of stress on the intensifier. Our service is very easy to use. Our service is very easy to use. We deliver important packages seven days a week, even in heavy traffic. We deliver important packages seven days a week, even in heavy traffic. It's much faster than a delivery truck. It's much faster than a delivery truck. Do you here the difference? When you practice your own pitch for Assessment 2, try to stress the intensifiers in order to persuade your listener. In addition to voice, an entrepreneur's body, hands, and eyes are important for communicating their message. These types of body language and eye contact can be very different depending on your culture. In North America, people expect entrepreneurs to be trustworthy, which means that people will believe the message and feel comfortable investing with the business. People also expect entrepreneurs to appear confident. Which means that the entrepreneur looks certain that the business will succeed. Here are three ways that North American entrepreneurs show that they are trustworthy and confident. First, they use their hands and arms to make gestures while they speak. They do not put their hands in their pockets. In North American culture, people may think that hands in pockets means someone is too relaxed or informal. Similarly negative, people may also think that hands in pockets means someone is hiding something. Because they will not show their hands. Second, entrepreneurs in North America try to smile a little. Research shows that a small smile means someone is trustworthy. Third, entrepreneurs look directly into people's eyes. If an entrepreneur is talking to more than one person, he or she tries to look at each person equally. If an entrepreneur is making a video, he or she looks straight into the camera, then the audience will feel that the entrepreneur is looking at them. This behaviors communicate trustworthiness and confidence in the North American business culture. Is it the same in your culture? Is it okay to make direct eye contact and smile at people you don't know well? Or is there another way to show that you are friendly and trustworthy? You can discuss these questions in the optional discussion board on your course site. In this video, we discussed how word stress, body language and eye contact can help make an entrepreneur's pitch stronger and more persuasive. Now, you're ready to write and record a pitch for a new product or business. Watch Video 5 again if you want to review the 4 parts of a strong pitch, and don't forget the language and strategies you've learned from making a pitch more persuasive.

Tom Highway is a well-decorated career military man in the United States Marine Corps, he who has seen action in Korea and Vietnam. His current rank is Gunnery Sergeant. His experiences have led him to become an opinionated, no nonsense man, who is prone to bursts of violence, especially when he's drunk, if the situation does not suit him, regardless of the specifics or people involved. Because of these actions, he has spent his fair share of overnighters behind bars. Close to retirement, one of his last assignments, one he requested, is back at his old unit at Cherry Point, North Carolina, from where he was transferred for insubordination. He is to train a reconnaissance platoon. His superior officer, the much younger and combat inexperienced Major Malcolm Powers, sees Highway as a relic of an old styled military. Highway's commanding officer, Lieutenant Ring, the platoon leader, is also a younger man who has no combat experience, but is academically inclined and happy-go-lucky. Highway finds that his team is a rag-tag bunch of slackers, who includes wannabe rock musician Stitch Jones, with who Highway had an inauspicious earlier meeting. The men in the platoon, who truly believe Highway is crazy, hate him, and don't understand why they have to follow his harsh training regimen when the United States is not currently at war. The major, who is all about efficiency regardless of combat readiness, has the same views of Highway. He is clear that he sees Highway's platoon solely as a training mechanism for his own elite squad trained by Highway's nemesis, Staff Sergeant Webster. Things for Highway and his platoon change when the United States enters into war in Grenada. Through it all, Highway tries to reconnect with his bar waitress ex-wife Aggie, he even clandestinely reading women's magazines to understand her better. Two primary obstacles stand in his way: Roy Jennings, Aggie's boss and current suitor who hates Marines, and Aggie's own remembrance of how dysfunctional their marriage was.

Rummy Game Rummycircle Review Different Variants of Rummy, Different Tricks, What Will You Pick By 13CardsRummy \| July 10, 2017 Rummy is a fun game and we have already tried playing it at one point of time or the other. However, most of us try only one variant of rummy and then make our judgment based on it. What we don’t know is that each rummy variant is different and comes with its own set of challenges. Let’s take a look at the top three variants of rummy, points rummy, deals rummy and pool rummy. here is how to play rummy of different variation. Points Rummy This is the most commonly played rummy variant. The game is played with 13 cards where you need to form sequences and sets to make a valid declaration. However, you need to keep a check on how are the points calculated in this game. Here are some of the things to keep in mind when you are playing a points rummy game. Once you start playing the game and miss 3 consecutive turns, then you lose 40 points that is equivalent to a middle drop. If you are playing on a two-player table and if one of the players leave the table, then the other player automatically is the winner. There are only 25 moves allowed in each game and a player has to make a valid declaration within it. A maximum of 30 minutes is allocated for each game. In points rummy, a player can get a maximum of 80 points. In case, a valid declaration is not made, then the player is dropped with a loss of 80 points. Deals Rummy This is another variation of rummy where you are playing for a fixed number of deals and the player who wins at the end of all deals is the winner. In deals rummy, each player is given chips and the winning player accumulates all chips from the losing winners. At the end of the game, the player with maximum chips becomes the winner. Pool Rummy One of the simplest way to understand a pool rummy is to keep your score low. To win in pool rummy, you have to reach a zero score. If you are at a high score and reach a score of 101/201 in pool rummy, then you are eliminated from the game. Pools rummy is played in two types, 101 or 201 pool rummy. In each case, if a player reaches a score of 101 or 201, he is out of the game. Even though all the three variants of rummy are played with 13 cards and at the base you need to form sets and sequences to make a valid declaration, it is the rules of rummy that change a bit in each variant. So, what are you going to play today?

A: My name is Katy, I'm 17 years old (almost 18!) and I live in Wales in the UK. Q: How long have you had Tourette Syndrome? A:I was diagnosed with Tourettes 9 months ago after I suddenly started developing a throat clearing tic. Q: What kinds of tics do you have? A: My tics quickly developed to head jerking, clapping, tapping, coprolalia, copropraxia, echolalia, punching my chest, clicking my knuckles and facial grimaces. But I like to think of my signature tic as my squeak (my friends often call me guinea pig now because I squeak so much!) Q: Do you have any associated conditions? A: I also have anxiety, panic disorder, OCD and some issues with sensory processing. Q: What is life like for you living with Tourette Syndrome? A: Life has been pretty up and down with tourettes especially because I developed it so suddenly and at such a strange time in my life! I'd already become used to life as a teen without tics but then suddenly developing tourettes really turned my life upside down. People around me, like my friends and teachers had to be informed about everything and there have been times that I've felt like a burden because everyone has had to adjust to my tics. I felt like I wanted to record with journey and show people what it's like to live with tourettes, so that's when I started my YouTube channel 'LetsTalkTics'. My channel has been such a help to me because I can talk about tourettes openly and it has helped me to come to terms with the fact that I might be living with tourettes for the rest of my life. Q: What advice can you give others who are newly diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome? A: The largest piece of advice that I can give to those who are newly diagnosed with tourettes is that being open about your tourettes is much easier than being closed about it and you'll end up gaining the best support if you talk to people about what you are going through. Q: What is the hardest thing about living with Tourette Syndrome? A: The hardest thing about living with tourettes for me is the swearing tics. I hate saying these horrible words in front of my friends and family and coming to terms with this has been really difficult and I'm still not very comfortable releasing my swearing tics in public. Q: What do you think other people should know about Tourette Syndrome? A: I think people need to know that tourettes is not just about tics. It runs so much deeper than that because tourettes can cause physical and emotional pain, tiredness and almost always comes with co-morbid conditions so it's not always just about the funny movements and sounds. Q: What are your strengths and what do you like to do? A: Despite having vocal tics, I absolutely love to compete in public speaking competitions. I always feel so confident and standing on the stage reminds me of my life before tourettes. But it also shows me that tourettes has not limited me in any way. Q: .What are your goals in life? A: I'm about to start my last year in school before moving off to university, hopefully to study psychology. I'd love to work in a rehabilitation centre or an inpatient care facility.

__label__cc	0.520468	0.479532	Basair operate the third largest aircraft fleet in Australia, behind only Qantas and Virgin Australia. With over 80 aircraft available from our Bankstown, Cessnock and Archerfield campuses, we are the largest flying school in Australia. Aircraft List Beechcraft Baron The Baron is the most widely used twin-engine charter aircraft in Australia. It is faster than the Duchess, and more complex to use. However, experience in the Baron gives graduates an advantage when applying to operators that use Barons. A beautiful, modern multi-engine aircraft with that ‘new-plane smell’ (2017 model) and top of the line equipment. It uses a Garmin G1000, an integrated flight instrument system typically composed of two display units, one serving as a primary flight display, and one as a multi-function display (‘glass cockpit’). Beechcraft Duchess The Duchess is the simplest twin-engine aircraft, and an ideal initial step into multi-engine flying. All students do their initial multi-engine endorsement in the Duchess, as it is a wonderful introduction to twin-engine flying. The Duchess is also available for the IFR flights as part of the ME CIR curriculum, and is the most affordable option for these flights. The chieftain is perfect for charter flights, scenic tours and full day air safaris. It is comfortable 10 seater twin engine aircraft. The Piper Arrow is an affordable option for the commercial flights in the curriculum. The CPL flight test must be done in a more complex aircraft than is typically used for private pilot licence training; it needs to have a constant speed unit propeller and have a cruising speed of at least 130 kts. The Cessna 206 is a heavier and faster option for commercial training. It requires a bigger step-up in skill level - however it is also the most commonly used aircraft in single-engine entry level jobs in Australia. Alumni that have trained in the Cessna 206 have found it helps them secure their first job. The Piper Archer is very similar to the Piper Warrior, but slightly faster. It is also ideal for PPL training, and is also used extensively at Basair Aviation College for Night VFR training (NVFR.) A NVFR is an ideal addition to a commercial pilots licence when applying for an entry-level charter job, as many charter flights are at night. Most students choose the Piper Warrior for their Private Pilot Licence (PPL) training. It is faster than the Cessna 152, which makes it ideal for the cross-country navigation flights done during the PPL. Also, it is a 4-seater which gives students a chance to back-seat flights with their peers, and practice their map-reading, fuel planning and navigation skills. One of the most popular touring aircraft of all time, the Cessna 172 has gained a place in the history books. It is an American built four seat, high wing single engine aircraft with fixed tricycle undercarrage. It is powered by a 160HP 4 cylinder Lycoming engine. The 172 is the most popular and successful aircraft ever built. As at 2008 more than 43,000 units have been produced. Like the 152, the 172 is also popular for flight training and with a faster cruise speed and two more seats are great for cross country flights. The Cessna 152 is an American built two seat, high wing single engine aircraft with fixed tricycle undercarriage. It is powered by a 110HP 4 cylinder Lycoming engine. The Cessna 152 is without a doubt one of the most popular training aircraft of all time. As the successor to the Cessna 150 of which over 23,000 were made, it brought more power, a revised fuel and electrical system and an increase in gross weight. Students love learning to fly in a Cessna 152, and at Basair we use the Cessna 152 as the starting point for all our new full time students. It is slower than the other aircraft in the fleet, so students have more time to prepare for manoeuvres. Its high-wing design also gives it exceptional stability in the air.

__label__cc	0.539805	0.460195	Posts by Topic: mary mary RSS feed Tough choices to make as Heaven Fest schedule released Arvada's Everfound will grace the main stage at Heaven Fest this year. (Eliza Marie Somers, The Denver Post) Heaven Fest, which features 70 artists on seven stages, released its schedule today, enabling festival-goers to map out their listening strategies before the July 31st event. But it will take some tough decisions to see some of the festival’s bigger names. I know I will have a tough time deciding who to see. The reunion of Petra on the main stage or Disciple on the rock stage? Group 1 Crew on the hip-hop stage vs. Kutless on the mainer? BarlowGirl or Mary Mary OR KJ-52, hmmm? Mr. Del, Thousand Foot Krutch or Casting Crowns? And that’s only looking at three stages. A nice surprise is Arvada’s Everfound will be moving up to the main stage this year. I’m excited for the band of brothers. The July 31st festival will be at a new location — Union Reservoir in Longmont – this year. Tickets are whatever you can afford – a nice touch in these tough times. Comments Off on Tough choices to make as Heaven Fest schedule released Heaven Fest 2010: Casting Crowns, Mary Mary & reunions Heaven Fest 2010 will feature the reunion on of Petra and the Supertones, and that is just one of the highlights of the July 31 Christian rock festival. Mary Mary, a Grammy Award winner this month, and multiple Dove Award winners, Casting Crowns, are two of the big names that will play on the main stages at the festival, which features seven stages for a whole day of a wide-variety of music. Also secured for the summer event are Hawk Nelson, who are always a big hit with the young teen set; Thousand Foot Krutch, which is fronted by Trevor McNevan; BarlowGirl, a rockin’ sister band; Grammy nominee Sanctus Real; Phil Wickman, who played Heaven Fest 2009; rappers Group 1 Crew; heavy metal favorites Decyfer Down and Disciple; Flame and White Collar Sideshow – two new bands for me. I’ll have to check out their music. Keep an eye out on this website around St. Patrick’s Day — when Round 2 of the 2010 lineup is due out. Also this year’s festival will feature a new stage – Metal/Hardcore.

Hezekiah Walker and Love Fellowship garnered the most Stellar Awards with five, including artist of the year. Da’T.R.U.T.H. grabbed the rap hip hop CD of the year. And, OK, I have to give a shout out to my hometown area and to Dr. Rev. Emory Andrews and the Oxon Hill (Md.) High School Choir, who won the children’s performance of the year.

Comments Off on Heaven Fest needs your vote Backstage at the Dove Awards [photopress:stevecchampsons_1.JPG,full,pp_image] Steven Curtis Chapman and his sons backstage at the Dove Awards. Photos by Eliza Marie Somers I attended my first Dove Awards last week in Nashville and didn’t know what to expect. There was no red carpet to show off the artists. I was told by a PR type a “red carpet just goes against the grain of what the Dove Awards (Christian music) is about.” And now that I think about it, that is so true. The musicians are “pastors” preaching the word of God, so it does seem self-serving to have a red carpet. What struck me at the Dove Awards backstage was the family atmosphere. It was an emotional event especially with all the heartache surrounding Steven Curtis Chapman, who won songwriter of the year and artist of the year, and his family. Last May, Chapman’s 5-year-old daughter, Marie Sue, died after she was accidentally hit by a car driven by her older brother in the family’s driveway.). [photopress:DSCF0124.JPG,thumb,pp_image] Steven dedicated his performance of “Cinderella” to Marie Sue, and was overcome by emotion. (The Gospel Music Channel is replaying the Dove Awards this month Backstage he said he felt like he was among family and friends and felt like he was home and that’s why he broke down. He also said the tragedy has brought his family closer. [photopress:brandon2.JPG,full,pp_image] Brandon Heath juggles his awards. Brandon Heath took home three awards: song of the year, male vocalist of the year and pop/contemporary song for “Give Me Your Eyes.” Being that he’s been singing only a few years, expect more from this artist. He classifies himself as a songwriter first. Comments Off on Backstage at the Dove Awards	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0016.json.gz/line3247

A Reality Check The Next Level Forum Index -> General Discussion :: Previous topic :: Next topic je-demande Posted: Mon Sep 04, 2017 4:22 pm Post subject: North Korea the Aggressor? A Reality Check I remember reading years ago that the US killed a third of all Koreans and destroyed every third house during the Korean War which they started. But hey they must be the bad guys still because they hate our way of life like Al Qaeda right? "Not only did the allies drop more bombs on Korea than in the Pacific theater during World War II – 635,000 tons, versus 503,000 tons – more of what fell was napalm … ‘ Two buildings left standing In the North Korean capitol, Pyongyang, just two buildings were reported as still standing". Not really interested whether Vets today is a CIA front the information is still real. Love this guys Voice North Korea an Aggressor? A Reality Check By GPD on August 30, 2017 ” … war in our time is always indiscriminate, a war against innocents, a war against children.” (Howard Zinn, 1922-2010.) “All war represents a failure of diplomacy.” (Tony Benn, MP. 1925-2014.) “No country too poor, too small, too far away, not to be threat, a threat to the American way of life.” (William Blum, “Rogue State.”) The mention of one tiny country appears to strike at the rationality and sanity of those who should know far better. On Sunday, 6th August, for example, The Guardian headed an editorial: “The Guardian view on sanctions: an essential tool.” Clearly the average of five thousands souls a month, the majority children, dying of “embargo related causes” in Iraq, year after grinding year – genocide in the name of the UN – for over a decade has long been forgotten by the broadsheet of the left. This time of course, the target is North Korea upon whom the United Nations Security Council has voted unanimously to freeze, strangulate and deny essentials, normality, humanity. Diplomacy as ever, not even a consideration. The Guardian, however, incredibly, declared the decimating sanctions: “A rare triumph of diplomacy …” (Guardian 6th August 2017.) As US Secretary of State, Rex Tillerson, the US’ top “diplomat” and his North Korean counterpart Ri Yong-ho headed for the annual Ministerial meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) in Manila on 5thAugust, a State Department spokesperson said of Tillerson: “The Secretary has no plans to meet the North Korean Foreign Minister in Manila, and I don’t expect to see that happen” Trump’s buried opportunities Pathetic. In April, approaching his hundredth day in office, Trump said of North Korea: “We’d love to solve things diplomatically but it’s very difficult.” No it is not. Talk, walk in the other’s psychological shoes. Then, there they were at the same venue but the Trump Administration clearly does not alone live in a land of missed opportunities, but of opportunities deliberately buried in landfill miles deep. This in spite of his having said in the same statement: “There is a chance that we could end up having a major, major conflict with North Korea. Absolutely.” A bit of perspective: 27th July 2017 marked sixty four years since the armistice agreement that ended the devastating three year Korean war, however there has never been a peace treaty, thus technically the Korean war has never ended. Given that and American’s penchant for wiping out countries with small populations which pose them no threat (think most recently, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya) no wonder North Korea wishes to look as if it has some heavy protective gear behind the front door, so to speak. Tiny North Korea has a population of just 25.37 million and landmass of 120,540 km² (square kilometres.) The US has a population of 323.1 million and a landmass of 9.834 MILLION km² (square kilometres.) Further, since 1945, the US is believed to have produced some 70,000 nuclear weapons – though now down to a “mere” near 7,000 – but North Korea is a threat? America has fifteen military bases in South Korea – down from a staggering fifty four – bristling with every kind of weapons of mass destruction. Two bases are right on the North Korean border and another nearly as close. See full details of each, with map at (1.) North Korea also has the collective memory of the horror wrought by the US in the three year conflict on a country then with a population of just 9.6 million souls. US General Curtis Lemay in the aftermath stated: “After destroying North Korea’s seventy eight cities and thousands of her villages, and killing countless numbers of her civilians … Over a period of three years or so we killed off – what – twenty percent of the population.” “It is now believed that the population north of the imposed 38th Parallel lost nearly a third its population of 8 – 9 million people during the 37-month long ‘hot’ war, 1950 – 1953, perhaps an unprecedented percentage of mortality suffered by one nation due to the belligerence of another.” In context: “During The Second World War the United Kingdom lost 0.94% of its population, France lost 1.35%, China lost 1.89% and the US lost 0.32%. During the Korean war, North Korea lost close to 30 % of its population.” (Emphasis added.) “We went over there and fought the war and eventually burned down every town in North Korea anyway, some way or another …”, boasted Lemay. Gen. Douglas MacArthur said during a Congressional hearing in 1951 that he had never seen such devastation. “I shrink with horror that I cannot express in words … at this continuous slaughter of men in Korea,” MacArthur said. “I have seen, I guess, as much blood and disaster as any living man, and it just curdled my stomach, the last time I was there.” (CNN, 28th July 2017.) Horrified as he was, he did not mention the incinerated women, children, infants in the same breath. Moreover, as Robert M. Neer wrote in “Napalm, an American Biography”: ‘ “Practically every U.S. fighter plane that has flown into Korean air carried at least two napalm bombs,” Chemical Officer Townsend wrote in January 1951. About 21,000 gallons of napalm hit Korea every day in 1950. As combat intensified after China’s intervention, that number more than tripled (…) a total of 32,357 tons of napalm fell on Korea, about double that dropped on Japan in 1945. Not only did the allies drop more bombs on Korea than in the Pacific theater during World War II – 635,000 tons, versus 503,000 tons – more of what fell was napalm … ‘ In the North Korean capitol, Pyongyang, just two buildings were reported as still standing. In the unending history of US warmongering, North Korea is surely the smallest population they had ever attacked until their assault on tiny Grenada in October 1983, population then just 91,000 (compulsory silly name: “Operation Urgent Fury.) North Korea has been taunted by the US since it lay in ruins after the armistice sixty five years ago, yet as ever, the US Administration paints the vast, self appointed “leader of the free world” as the victim. As Fort-Russ pointed out succinctly (7th August 2017): “The Korean Peninsula is in a state of crisis not only due to constant US threats towards North Korea, but also due to various provocative actions, such as Washington conducting joint military exercises with Seoul amid tensions, and which Pyongyang considered a threat to its national security.” This month “massive land, sea and air exercises” involving “tens of thousands of troops” from the US and South Korea began on 21st of August and continue until 31st. ‘In the past, the practices are believed to have included “decapitation strikes” – trial operations for an attempt to kill Kim Jong-un and his top Generals …’, according to the Guardian (11th August 2017.) The obligatory stupid name chosen for this dangerous, belligerent, money burning, sabre rattling nonsense is Ulchi-Freedom Guardian. It is an annual occurrence since first initiated back in 1976. US B-1B bombers flying from Guam recently carried out exercises in South Korea and “practiced attack capabilities by releasing inert weapons at the Pilsung Range.” In a further provocative (and illegal) move, US bombers were again reported to overfly North Korea, another of many such bullying, threatening actions, reportedly eleven just since May this year. Yet in spite of all, North Korea is the “aggressor.” “The nuclear warheads of United States of America are stored in some twenty one locations, which include thirteen U.S. states and five European countries … some are on board U.S. submarines. There are some “zombie” nuclear warheads as well, and they are kept in reserve, and as many as 3,000 of these are still awaiting their dismantlement. (The US) also extends its “nuclear umbrella” to such other countries as South Korea, Japan, and Australia.” (worldatlas.com) Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov who also attended the ASEAN meeting in Manila, did of course, do what proper diplomats do and talked with his North Korean counterpart Ri Yong-ho. Minister Lavrov’s opinion was summed up by a Fort Russ News observer as: “The Korean Peninsula is in a state of crisis not only due to constant US threats towards North Korea, but also due to various provocative actions, such as Washington conducting joint military exercises with Seoul amid tensions, and which Pyongyang considered a threat to its national security.” The “provocative actions” also include the threatening over-flights by US ‘planes flying from Guam. However when North Korea said if this continued they would consider firing missiles in to the ocean near Guam – not as was reported by some hystericals as threatening to bomb Guam – Agent Orange who occasionally pops in to the White House between golf rounds and eating chocolate cake whilst muddling up which country he has dropped fifty nine Tomahawk Cruise missiles on, responded that tiny North Korea will again be: “… met with fire and fury and frankly power, the likes of which the world has never seen before.” It was barely noticed that North Korea qualified the threat of a shot across the bows by stating pretty reasonably: (The US) “should immediately stop its reckless military provocation against the State of the DPRK so that the latter would not be forced to make an unavoidable military choice.” (3) As Cheryl Rofer continued, instead of endless threats, US diplomacy could have many routes: “We could have sent a message to North Korea via the recent Canadian visit to free one of their citizens. We could send a message through the Swedish embassy to North Korea, which often represents US interests. We could arrange some diplomatic action on which China might take the lead. There are many possibilities, any of which might show North Korea that we are willing to back off from practices that scare them if they will consider backing off on some of their actions. That would not include their nuclear program explicitly at this time, but it would leave the way open for later.” There are in fact, twenty four diplomatic missions in all, in North Korea through which the US could request to communicate – or Trump could even behave like a grown up and pick up the telephone. Siegfried Hecker is the last known American official to inspect North Korea’s nuclear facilities. He says that treating Kim Jong-un as though he is on the verge of attacking the U.S. is both inaccurate and dangerous. “Some like to depict Kim as being crazy – a madman – and that makes the public believe that the guy is undeterrable. He’s not crazy and he’s not suicidal. And he’s not even unpredictable. The real threat is we’re going to stumble into a nuclear war on the Korean Peninsula.” Trump made his crass “fire and fury” threat on the eve of the sixty second commemoration of the US nuclear attack on Nagasaki, the nauseating irony seemingly un-noticed by him. http://www.veteranstoday.com/2017/08/30/north-korea-an-aggressor-a-reality-check/ Vaut mieux prévenir que guérir. MichaelC Interesting and not at all surprising. For those who believe in the existence of nuclear weapons (I do not) 'North Korea-scare' is a great psych-op! I wonder what the NWO plan is here? Invasion? Does N Korea lack a private central bank that is part of the global usury banking 'system'? MichaelC wrote: Perhaps N Korea may be the proof that Nukes exist Michael? They are comparable with the likes of Iraq & Libya in size & population etc... So if they don't get laid to waste again one might argue Nukes do in fact exist. skinters We will soon see if N. Korea has nukes. If they are attacked they will release everything they have. What needs to happen is the US to pull up a chair and talk to them properly. Then pull out of the south, and help both sides peacefully...Ain't going to happen. Posted: Thu Sep 07, 2017 4:23 am Post subject: US sanctions on N Korea similar to Japan before P Harbour My point here is that MSM have removed any historical context from the narrative. They never mention the Genocide of the Koreans. If the US killed a third of your entire nation it would be "Normal" or at least understandable that you hated them. Yet they are presented as crazy. The US sanctions on N Korea are similar to that of Japan before Pearl Harbour. Not really sure about the origin of 'communist' N Korea. Was it started and still owned by the same international usury banking criminals who took Russia in 1917 and still own it? Then why did these same criminals, through their stooges(aka US government) attack N Korea in 1950? It is all very confusing. Posted: Thu Sep 07, 2017 4:35 pm Post subject: North Korea: What can actually be done? North Korea: What can actually be done to deal with a nuclear Pyongyang? From the first tweak of the seismograph it was clear this was no ordinary tremor — it signalled the most powerful bomb of all. The North Korean TV newsreader announced with a flourish this was the state's first hydrogen bomb. If that now means Pyongyang has the weapon and the delivery system that could wipe out a Los Angeles, a San Francisco or a Sydney in a flash, then the world is now a different place. Nuclear weapons are supposed to be a deterrent — make yourself so dangerous no-one will ever dare challenge you. Clearly the thinking for three generations of Kim is that the regime is made safe if everyone fears you. And the clear impression you are crazy helps too — no-one wants to aggravate a disturbed mind. But what to do? US President Donald Trump has described the test as hostile and dangerous and said Pyongyang "only understands one thing". http://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-09-03/north-korea-is-it-time-to-accept-it-will-remain-a-nuclear-threat/8868138 Think back to the 'red scares' of the 1950s and 1960s and the 'atom bomb scares' from same period. The Master criminals are running out of new tricks to deceive you and so are recycling some some old tired CIA disinfo rags from 50 years ago on the theory that the present generation would not remember the past. Don't buy it. Why did these same criminals, through their stooges(aka US government) attack N Korea in 1950? 1/Arms sales.(via fear) 2/Immigration.(White Genocide) If N Korea is a Nuclear Power and because of this it protects its people then one could argue that "Nukes Exist & Nukes are Good" Maybe in years to come the world will have its own Constitution. With the 2nd amendment being the right of every nation to have Nukes. I think there would be less wars for sure. :-) https://www.google.es/search?q=nuclear+weapons+hoax&safe=off&dcr=0&source=lnms&tbm=vid&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj3rePjuJbWAhWHbVAKHdI6APsQ_AUIDCgD&biw=1040&bih=668 I don't believe the other "Earth is flat" CIA Hoax for a Minute Michael. https://www.google.es/search?safe=off&dcr=0&biw=1280&bih=604&tbm=vid&q=flat+earth&oq=flat+earth&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0l4.43821.99808.0.100024.31.20.0.0.0.0.204.1671.4j9j1.14.0....0...1.1.64.psy-ab..19.12.1480...0i5i30k1j0i8i30k1.wMVoz3uNYTc Posted: Sat Oct 07, 2017 4:17 pm Post subject: Has anyone researched the banking system in N Korea?

Friedman’s challenges involve keeping fans engaged year-round. The article, “The Jets Playbook,” notes that “the revenue of a football franchise now depends on fully understanding the multiple ways people interact with your team: season-ticket holders, TV watchers, buyers in the secondary ticket market, users of Internet live chat and live streaming, and purchasers of memorabilia.” Clearly focusing on these fans, the Jets organization is finding alternative revenue sources and engagement opportunities beyond filling the stadium. The CFO’s job is to “be cognizant of where you need to make investments across all areas, and be sure you are investing time, resources, and money into all the things that are having that fan impact right now,” Friedman says in the article. After more than four years as the CFO of the Jets, overseeing all the financial aspects of the Jets organization and sharing responsibility for MetLife Stadium’s financial operations with the CFO of the New York Giants, Friedman is in an ideal position to comment on sports as a business. CFO Studio Magazine, which is published quarterly by Real Estate Strategies Corporation, will release its Q1 issue, featuring business profiles and strategic advice for New Jersey- and New York-area CFOs, during the third week of March. About the New York Jets The New York Jets are a professional football team headquartered in Florham Park, NJ, representing the National Football League in the New York metropolitan area. It is a privately owned business with under 200 employees.

If there was something to talk about and we could have a good conversation, it might work. I wanted to have a separate life in Britain that was unconnected to Japan — I wanted to be in control of my relationship with Japan, to stop and start it as I pleased. An aging doo-wop group, which claims to pay homage to black people and music by dressing up in old Motown-like get-ups, Afros and blackface, was going to perform a minstrel show on Fuji TV, a national network. What have you learned from writing a newspaper column for five years? Second, I learned how writing is a form of activism. I can appreciate the year-old zeitgeist of the Summer of Love, although Woodstock happened before I was born. But I, in contrast, was always keen to remain firmly established in Japan. Living there has given me an opportunity to view and address race issues in a sort of laboratory setting or safe space. Foreign Agenda is a forum for opinion on issues related to life in Japan. The video is 16 minutes long, but the interview portion ends at 8: By virtue of your prominence, people will look to you for leadership.

A couple of years ago, when I was promoting a book on Yukio Mishima, I was interviewed in London by a Japanese journalist who suddenly asked me whether I too had a Japanese wife. No longer was I in control of my relationship with Japan; now I tended to feel more like a prisoner in a relationship with a foreign culture from which I could not escape.

Indeed, the overwhelming attraction of Western men to Japanese women has over the past 50 years been much commented on. I realize you can find everything in Japanese womanhood, from power-dressing politicians and brilliant authors to tech entrepreneurs. Having endured undergraduate years in England where I was barely able to find a girlfriend of any description, this sudden transformation of fortunes should perhaps have been enough to have immediately made me seal the deal with the heavenly Japanese girlfriend, who was only too keen to settle down together.

__label__wiki	0.567845	0.567845	Adams Ave. Street Festival Adams-Avenue-Unplugged This Saturday April 27th CLB @The Kensington Cafe w/Randy Hoffman on percussion and Paula Luber on vibraphone There's a lot of good stuff going down at this festival, if I were you I'd make a day of it. Right after my set and on the Kensington-Library stage next-door is legendary Boston folk-musicians Geoff Muldaur and Jim Kweskin. And later on Gregory Page, Nena Andersen, Steve Harris, Sara Petite and lots of other great songwriters and musicians And, it's free... "The midnight hour is the timeless place, where man and woman meet (enemies in the daylight), where dreams take form, the soil, the source, the land of passion and possibility. All friendship has its roots there. In the midnight hour you can talk to presidents and kings, Bob Dylan, Beethoven, Amelia Earhart is there, everyone will take you for what you are, there are no barriers. This is a real place everyone has been to many times. I'm going to hold you in my arms in the midnight hour." -Paul Williams, Rock and Roll: The 100 Best Singles Rodin (of course) On the morning of March 27th Alexander and I woke up in Brooklyn in the home of Stew (Passing Strange, The Negro Problem) my pal for many years. We'd been there for several days already and I made plans over the phone with Lenny Kaye for us to move to his place late afternoon. So, out of Brooklyn, a lovely place to stay right on Prospect Park. The night before we'd met Stew at Barbes' a cool and arty music venue just below Park Slope and saw the very melodic and soul expanding Marika Hughes play cello, sing, with her band of friends. We came out to the rising of the nearly full moon. That night after the concert I got a call from Paul's dear and longtime friend Judith Bragar, it was she that came to us during Paul's hospital stay in February and suggested we look into, just consider, hospice. And she happened to work for hospice. She and Paul met when they were teenagers, school mates, he at Browne and Nichols (and she at it's sister-school for girls) in Cambridge. They were friends and later lovers and then friends again. Now she was his hospice friend. That night she called and said she'd been with Paul for several hours and it looked to her like he may be "transitioning". That meant his breathing had changed. I'd read about that in the hospice pamphlet and online. Alexander was already asleep so I waited to talk to him in the morning. "Your dad is getting close now. We could try to get a flight back this morning... What would you like to do?" He told me he was afraid of seeing his dad like that. I understood. He'd already seen so much, day after day, the deterioration of his dads health. Well, really for years...We walked across the park, me in a daze, what should I do? I talked to Paul's oldest son, Kenta, who lives in the Bay Area (not far from his slightly younger brother Taiyo. Their mother is Sachiko Kenanobu). He thought he could get a flight that morning and get down to Encinitas around noon. Alexander and I ate breakfast, then we caught the train into Manhattan and did the thing we had planned to do. We met my actor friend Ken Jacowitz at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. He led us in. It was all a terrible blur to me at this point. Ken offered to take Alexander around the different floors and rooms of art. I sat on a bench between Greek and Roman statues, texting family members, waiting to hear if Kenta had arrived at Paul's side and talking to Paul's nurse about how he was fairing. It was odd, surreal and timeless, this place with the marble, the statues and the heart-ache. Ken was a a very good friend through all this, entertaining an 11 year old whose father was dying three thousand miles away. Finally I got a call from Lenny Kaye, he'd arrived in the city and we met up with him downtown, hopped in his car and took a ride over the bridge and back into Brooklyn to pick up our bags and food and stuff. I gave him the update on Paul, by now Kenta was by his side, keeping me posted by text. Lenny pointed out the old building on Flatbush Ave. that used to be the home of Murray the K, (a radio personality that helped usher in Beatlemania), passing through some neighborhoods of his youth. We got our stuff and rode back into Manhattan, it was dark by now. Lenny, Alexander and I heaved the bags upstairs and made a bee-line to the local BBQ joint. What can I say, Lenny was the perfect person to be with on such a night as this. I already knew Lenny when I met Paul (he'd produced my second Rhino album) and I still remember telling him, "I've met this great guy Paul Williams from CRAWDADDY! and I think I'm in love" and Lenny said "I can't think of two people I like more and now you're together, that's great". Lenny would get me and Paul into Patti Smith shows over the years (he's the guitarist), and Patti was always so respectful and kind and warm to Paul. I thought I wouldn't be able to eat, I was pretty much a mess. I just needed a shoulder to lean on and cry on. Lenny ordered me what he got and somehow my appetite came back. Time was moving in strange ways, sometimes it was going fast in a blur, and other moments seemed to stretch really long. Someone was being loud and drunk at the table near us, it seemed forever for them to go. Lenny's place was stocked with anything Alexander and I would need to feel comfortable and at home for several days. Alexander watched some TV and I was on the phone. Somewhere in there, maybe an hour and a half before Paul passed, Kenta and I tried a Facetime, with our iPhones, so that Alexander and I could talk to Paul. It worked, we saw him, and heard the rapid scary breathing. It had only been 4 and a half days since I'd seen him last and he looked very different, emaciated. Kenta said Paul had not moved all day. Alexander said hello and we told Paul how much we loved him and how beautiful the exhibit of his work had been a few days earlier at the Boo-Hooray Gallery in Soho. How thoughtfully the curator Johan Kugleberg had put the books and the papers and the letters altogether, how lovingly. And how many visitors at the show were astounded by how much Paul had written (and the exhibit didn't show it all). The other news I had for Paul was that two very impressive libraries were interested in taking his books and papers, thanks to the shows curator. A single tear came from Paul's eye, Kenta remarked, and I knew then that Paul understood his life's work would be cared for, that it was now in safe hands, in a place accessible to the readers of the future. Finally Kenta said that Paul's breathing had changed. The rest of this is Kenta's story with his father. By 1:35am eastern standard time I received a text from Kenta that Paul had taken his last breath. Alexander had fallen asleep mere moments before, so I waited to tell him the next morning. The moon was at it's fullness, it shown crazy bright, through the filmy curtains, moving gently . I lit a candle. I said a prayer. I felt his presence. I didn't sleep til dawn. Alexander wasn't surprised his dad had passed, we talked about it over breakfast. "Sometimes I thought he was faking it," he said. What do you mean, I asked? "I just thought that maybe he would get better, that maybe he was just pretending to be getting worse". I said I sort of understood that feeling. And told him when my mom died of cancer, when I was eight, that I'd made up a story, that I'd believed for years, that she had been an archaeologist on a mission to dig up old bones and ruins and had contracted Valley Fever. We walked by the St. Marks Church and saw that their would be a ceremony that night for Maundy Thursday, the Thursday before Easter, the night of Passover dinner. So we went. This felt right. We were staying right around the corner from the church where Paul and I had played a show together back in 1993, he reading from Rock and Roll: The 100 Best Singles and me singing songs that he'd inspired. Not to mention that this had been the venue for one of Lenny and Patti's first shows together, or the place many beloved beat poets had read their poetry aloud to deep listening ears. I love this place, St. Marks Church. And in the nights ceremony we washed one another's feet and drank wine and broke bread and sang some melodies and uttered some words. And through it all I felt Paul's spirit, his energi, his unbound self, rise and lift and move from that limited encasement called the human body. Deo pro vobis What do you want Paul? "..want to go up in the sky" What do you mean? "Good music goes up" Posted by Unknown at 11:46 PM 6 comments: McCabes w/Syd Straw Last friday Alexander and I got invited up to the stage during, my pal, Syd Straws sold out show at McCabe's. I sang Brian Wilson's I Just Wasn't Made For These Times and Alexander joined me on the vocal counterpoint at the end. And sang a few of my own: I Like Cats You Like Dogs (with Syd and Robert Lloyd,Willie Aron and Severo Journacion) and a song for, inspired by, Paul called Readers of the Future. This musical hangout was just what the doctor ordered. And it has been a really stressful time. Please forgive me if you've written me and I haven't gotten back to you. Me and Severo (photo: Lisa Nicoson) Alexander sang great ..(these 2 photos: Keith Martin) Syd and me. Thank you Syd... Here's a link to Mr. Morris' lovely soliloquy about the night Chris Morris on Paul Williams and our moment w Syd (Photo Peter Ortel) Boone, Syd and me I hope to see some of you guys at Paul's memorial this Saturday in San Francisco... open to all friends and family The Episcopal Church of St. Mary the Virgin 2325 Union St. (Park West of Fillmore) Rev. Madison Shockley to officiate (donations will be accepted to help pay for memorial) Memorial for Paul Williams of Crawdaddy small service for local friends and family Pilgrim United Church of Christ 2020 Chestnut Ave. Rev. Madison Shockley Pastor to Officiate More Reflections Van Dyke Parks (This is excerpted from a letter to a San Diego journalist, Gary Warth) Paul and I spent an enormous amount of time together. I introduced him to Brian Wilson and other musical movers and shakers---all to bring his forensic reportage to what had been a mindless adjunct to the record racket By the time Paul wrote of my debut album (in his 13th issue), he had helped validate the efforts of many who brought new emphasis on the song-form's political potency in their lyrics. It's quite true that Paul precedes Jann Wenner in all of this. I remember Jann's coming to my office at WB, seeking advertising revenue. I lobbied to get him some accounts, by which WB weighed in first among such companies to invest in Rolling Stone's future. I remember speaking with Wenner about my regard for Paul, and cautioned Wenner: "...and in your next issue Jann....it'd be a good idea to staple your pages somehow...like Paul does...." Gary----you just can't make up stuff like that. So many owe a great gratitude to Paul for his pioneering work. Yet, somehow, I doubt that will be reflected in the response to solicitations for donations to his surviving family. How Cindy Lee has raised their son during Paul's lengthy illness is a major testament to her courage, loyalty and derring-do. I hope those of us who survived the record industry, and ended up as people of property---will respond to her discrete request for a donation, to make it possible for Paul's heirs to enjoy some benefits worthy of their potential similar invention. Tuitions loom, once the rents have been paid.. Thanks for opening the door for that to Optimistic as ever, Van Dyke RIP Author Paul Williams -The great, passionate visionary writer, publisher, incisive critic, culture observer, art lover, and pioneer for the "rock scribe ". who wrote about music seriously as ART. And it was. A new and pioneering approach when his self published magazine Crawdaddy hit in the stands late 60's . He elevated the value of music and recorded work and made everybody think. - to a level that inspired.and gave it value. And gave us all, listeners, artists and music makers , a place to aspire to. Wayne Robins (A Brief History of Rock) And a link to a piece by Wayne Robins (who read from Paul's book Outlaw Blues at the gallery exhibit for Paul's work in New York) http://www.rocksbackpagesblogs.com/2013/03/listening- to-paul-williams/ Michael Lydon (Ray Charles: Man and Music) Just gotta say: Sunday was so good in every way!! Good to see you! Good to see Paul's work so beautifully, interestingly, and respectfully laid out. Good to see so many people who knew Paul in different ways and at different times. Good that you spoke, and that you and Lenny played and sang, and got everybody singing. Good that Ellen, and Wayne read. So good that you encouraged me to do my song. Good to mingle and chat--we met numerous very interesting people. You were a great hostess, but in a nutty way I felt that Paul was throwing the party, and he would have loved it, the low key but affectionate feeling, the way we all enjoyed each other, and I think that, modest as he is, he would have been pleased to feel all the admiration and interest in his work and his self. Then Sunday night at the Treehouse, you sounded great, so many different colors in your guitar playing and voice, such good songs. You and Lenny make a sympathetic duo, and Alexander piped in just right. I'm sure the whole day added to his sense of what a fine man his Dad is. My father was stricken with Parkinsonism when I was about four or five, and for the rest of his life, his mobility and his voice were always, slowly getting worse. Perhaps toughest of all, his stiffened face lost its ability to show much emotion, so we all often had little idea what he was thinking and feeling. Yet I always, and today more than ever, love and admire my Dad, and I got from him everything a young fellow needs to get from a father.

Despite Canada’s rich First Nations history, our indigenous legends and mythologies have only rarely been explored on film. The 1976 tax shelter thriller SHADOW OF THE HAWK was one of the first to fashion quasi-mystical First Nation imagery and cultural ritual into a popular genre thriller, and though it’s not particularly authentic to those traditions, it still stands as one of Canada’s only true folk horror films. While not frequently seen these days, the B.C.-shot film was just released on Blu-ray from Mill Creek Entertainment, paired with the similar 1979 chiller NIGHTWING, giving the curoius a chance to check out this underrated horror movie. In the film, city-dwelling businessman Mike (Jan-Michael Vincent) is surprised when his grandfather Old Man Hawk (the always excellent Chief Dan George) arrives at his apartment, having trekked more than 300 miles to explain that an evil sorceress (Marianne Jones) is trying to destroy the last of his tribe. Having been recently plagued by visions and nightmares, Mike reluctantly agrees to drive Hawk and Maureen (Marilyn Hassett), a freelance reporter who helped the old man find his grandson, back to the reserve. But their journey is beset by disaster–car trouble almost sends them over a cliff, dangerous snakes materialize while they sleep and a curious figure in a carved wooden mask follows their every movement. Hawk, who has grown old and weak, explains he must pass his role as a Medicine Man down to Mike to defeat the black magic that threatens his people. SHADOW OF THE HAWK boasts direction by George McCowan, a veteran TV director who returned to his native land in the 1970s to handle tax shelter productions like the hockey love tale FACE-OFF (1971) and sci-fi cheesefest THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME (1979). Boasting a bigger budget than most tax shelter productions from this era, SHADOW OF THE HAWK plays out mostly like a ghost story, with some generally harrowing sequences of the heroes crossing a rickety swinging bridge and being chased by an eerie black sedan. Later, Mike has to battle a bear and a knife-wielding Indigenous warrior. Through it all, their evil nemesis appears to be less beholden to an indigenous tradition than generic movie voodoo–dolls, ceremonial daggers, snakes, zombie-like creatures and fire all make an appearance (alongside some weirdly sexualized Inuit throat singing). Still, it’s notable that Hawk’s own Medicine Man practices are portrayed as positive force against the sorceress’ demonic magic, that seems to lay outside Native tradition. But what really makes SHADOW OF THE HAWK an outstanding Canadian folk horror film is the way it sends Mike on a dangerous physical and spiritual journey back to his own roots. The glass towers, restaurants and bus stations of Mike’s button-down world gradually melt away so that McCowan can use the Northern B.C. interior setting to create a sense of dark menace and ancient foreboding. From Mike’s early nightmares, in which the masked figure tries to drown him underwater, to the rituals he must perform in the latter part of the film, the general arc of the film has Mike coming grips with the supernatural and embrace his destiny. And though SHADOW OF THE HAWK doesn’t draw from more obvious First Nation menaces like the Wendigo or Dogmen, it’s depiction of pre-Christian mysticism and Indigenous tradition places it firmly within the folk horror subgenre as established in other films made outside Canada like THE DEVIL RIDES OUT (1968). For this release, Mill Creek has paired the film with NIGHTWING, a more typical nature revenge film about vampire bats that carry Bubonic plague. This overlong American horror production is of less interest to Canadian film fans, even though it stars Nick Mancuso (DEATH SHIP) as a First Nations cop who teams up with a scientific researcher/bat exterminator (David Warner) to stop his village being attacked. As with Mike, he’s torn between his roots and modern civilization, but learns more to balance these elements by the film’s conclusion. Directed by Arthur Hiller, better known for adapting several Neil Simon comedies for the screen, NIGHTWING is unsurprisingly talky, but does build to several good sequences, including a harrowing bat attack when the protagonists attempt to shield themselves in a chicken wire cage and a final showdown that erupts in fiery splendour. Though Mill Creek’s release doesn’t include any extras, both transfers look and sound excellent, with SHADOW OF THE HAWK’s occasionally impressive 35mm cinematography and spooky woodland sounds shining through–a notable step-up from its previous MOD DVD from Sony. The fine presentation enhances the release of this otherwise hard-to-see Canadian horror entry, making it easy to recommend. Motion Picture Purgatory: SUMMER’S CHILDREN (1979) Posted on September 4, 2018 by Canuxploitation! Julius Kohanyi, an independent filmmaker who started making documentary, experimental and narrative shorts as early as the 1960s, directed only one feature–the 1979 oddity SUMMER’S CHILDREN. In his latest Motion Picture Purgatory, Rick Trembles takes a look at this offbeat incest drama that takes a more arthouse-influenced approach to Toronto’s sleazier side then other Canadian entries like DRYING UP THE STREETS (1978) and the earlier PLEASURE PALACE (1974). Featuring memorable turns by local talent Michael Ironside and Don Francks, the film was partially financed by the Canadian Film Development Corporation and premiered on the CBC after a festival run. Rick sez: Motion Picture Purgatory: FIREBALLS (1989) Posted on August 7, 2018 by Canuxploitation! “Pull out your hoses…here comes Fireballs!” Starring a couple of actual Toronto firefighters taking a break up in Wasaga Beach the bizarre ’80s Canuck sex comedy FIREBALLS (1989) isn’t really anybody’s idea of a good movie. In his latest Motion Picture Purgatory, Rick Trembles takes a look at this four-alarm B-movie catastrophe of beer, bikinis and bad mullets that appeared at the end of the tax shelter’s last gasp and concluded Canada’s unofficial streak of dimwitted “balls” comedies (alongside MEATBALLS, ODDBALLS, GOOFBALLS & SCREWBALLS. Rick sez: Motion Picture Purgatory: LASERHAWK (1997) Posted on July 4, 2018 by Canuxploitation! Long before Mark Hamill returned to the sci-fi film role that made him a household name, the once notable Jedi knight was slumming it in extended cameos in north-of-the-border genre efforts like TIME RUNNER (1993) and LASERHAWK (1997), in which he plays a insane asylum patient convinced he arrived on Earth from another planet. In his latest Motion Picture Purgatory, Rick Trembles takes a look at this latter Cancon-laden science fiction entry–a convoluted blend of comics, UFOs, CGI and Canadian jock rock. Rick sez: Motion Picture Purgatory: THE SURROGATE (1984) Posted on June 1, 2018 by Canuxploitation! One of Canada’s first forays into the erotic thriller genre, Don Carmody’s Cinplex scorcher THE SURROGATE features maple syrup porn verteran Carole Laure passing off the torch to Canada’s straight-to-video queen of the 1990s, Shannon Tweed. In his latest Motion Picture Purgatory, Rick Trembles uncovers the sordid, S&M-tinged tale of a boring Montreal couple who hire a sex surrogate while a local cop (Michael Ironside) suspects they have played a role in a series of local murders.

__label__cc	0.749849	0.250151	How To Fundraise, Starting Your Company What do Investors Want? Maybe What the World Needs? Posted by Tim Berry on May 15th, 2012 Try this: take a step back from your phone, your FaceBook, and your daily routine, clear your mind, and think about the large-scale institutions that need change. What markets to disrupt? It’s going on three years since Fred Wilson of AVC did this excellent Google talk on disruption. What markets really need disruption? He said consumer finance, energy, education, and health care. I’ve read more than 100 business plans in the last 8 weeks, and considerably more than half of them promised either “disruptive” or “game changing.” One or two of them might be. I’d say there’s been movement in consumer finance over the last three years, and maybe in energy, but not much at all in education and health care. A lot of sound and fury, perhaps, but signifying nothing. Lots of online courses, especially for adult education. Lots of universities offer online courses, led by the likes of Harvard, M.I.T, and Stanford, including a lot of online institutions and new ideas like Kahn Academy and udemy. But not of this does much to change the basic model of one teacher and two or three dozen students in a classroom. To me it seems like nobody’s dealt well with the problem of keeping younger kids engaged and learning by some other means than the traditional model. Or the validation and certification that comes from diplomas and lots of hours sitting in seats. Do you agree? And then there’ s politics. In the U.S., at least, politics doesn’t work. Wherever you stand on the political spectrum, I bet you agree that our system is totally obsolete on fund raising, advertising, issues discussion, partisan politics, and the actual voting mechanisms themselves. Do you agree with the need for disruption there too — the business of politics, if not the core of politics and political parties. And the business of political discussion, and issues? What is still true today, as it has been for a couple of generations, is that truly disrupting a market can mean a huge business win. For startups and whoever invests in those startups. Tags: AVC.com, change, disruption, Fred Wilson, startups, talks@google What Belongs in a Startup’s Pitch Deck? So you’ve developed a game-changing product, formed a business with a killer team, quit your job, and are rolling the product out to market. Your business is the next unicorn, and all is good in the world. Fantastic. Now only one thing is inhibiting your company’s growth: you have no money. For many founders of high-growth startups, bootstrapping has limits. Ask A Founder: Startup Lessons Learned from Work Truck Solutions’ Kathryn Schifferle Kathryn Schifferle, Founder and CEO of Work Truck Solutions, turned being a woman in work trucks into an oversubscribed $2.1 million round. We sat down with Kathryn as she shared what her fundraising journey was like, the startup lessons she learned, and her advice to fellow founders, especially women. Here is what she had to say: HK: Tell Trying to Raise Money? Thinking About Gust for Startup Fundraising? How to Make Your Gust Account Stand Out to Investors Before you read any further, I want you to know that I’ve personally used Gust to raise money for my first tech startup. I know a lot of other entrepreneurs who use or have used Gust to seek funds, but their profiles don’t always get attention from investors. Below are One thought on “What do Investors Want? Maybe What the World Needs?” JohnFornaro says: I like this comment, but I’ve got a question regarding startups. What if your product is “out of this world”? About a half hour ago, the SpaceX “Dragon” capsule became the first private spacraft to dock with the International Space Station. Mr. Musk, SpaceX’s founder, has stated that he would ulimately like to send people to Mars. In the meantime, there are private efforts to send rovers and such to the Moon, spurred on by the various X-Prizes. There are even some very credible plans to manufacture rocket propellant on the Moon, to enable future astronauts to “fill up the tank” up there for the return trip. This promises to reduce launch costs by about an order of magnitude, since propellant wouldn’t have to be carried all the wasy from Earth for a round trip. Could a private lunar base be in the works? I’m working on a plan to generate electricity on the Moon using Concentrated Solar Power (CSP), since a reliable source of electricity would be needed for any possible base. The basic math works, but VC is needed for the engineering. Here’s the problem: A lunar CSP plant is a “vitamin”, not a “pain killer”. What does it mean to disrupt a future market? Could you address this? John Fornaro	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0016.json.gz/line3270

__label__cc	0.658383	0.341617	Tag Archives: media rights capital Equity, Film, Financing, Independent Film, Notable, Start-ups, Venture Capital No matter our behavior, the economy fluctuates from boom to bust on a fairly predicable basis. However, the severity of a bust is based in part on group (read: global market) psychology and bad, unregulated choices (don’t get me started on so-called “free market” thinking!). Right now, the group think is pretty pessimistic and we’re in dire need of the equivalent of a global prescription for Prozac. A downturn is not a question at this point; only the extent of the damage and the timing of the recovery remain up for grabs. The bail out measure before Congress will by no means prove to be a panacea. I keep hoping they will find a better way since the legislation – despite all the money – will not alter the landscape of losses or willingness to lend. However, it will remove a barrier to lending and mitigate some of the negative thinking. So, the sooner Congress works it out, the better for all of us. I was recently assured by an elder statesman in the business that the industry will continue to flourish as it has in prior recessions and during the Great Depression since people continue to spend on entertainment as an escape from bad news. Peter Bart smugly approved in his column in Monday’s Variety: Compared to the turmoil on Wall Street, Hollywood seems like an object lesson in prudent management. That’s why billions keep flowing into the movie business even when other industries are starved for capital. OK, I know that’s really not the reason. Sucker money traditionally flows to Hollywood because investors want to meet girls, attend parties with movie stars and say they’re business partners with Steven Spielberg. Nonetheless, it’s still surprising to count the big bucks involved in the DreamWorks deal or in Ryan Kavanaugh’s Relativity Media or in Media Rights Capital’s portfolio at a time when the rest of the economy is locked in a liquidity crisis. Suddenly, Hollywood’s managers seem downright austere compared with the crazies at Lehman Brothers. And movie-star salaries are pathetic relative to Wall Street payouts. I’m not sure I agree since the entertainment business – like most businesses – requires access to credit to run. MGM is already struggling to service its existing debt and like the banks and other financial businesses, may be unrecognizable from its present form down the road. Even before the current market crisis, Dave McNary wrote in last week’s Variety : Start with plenty of labor unrest, add in the global credit crunch along with the consequences of too many movies in the market, and combine that with foreign distributors getting cold feet for anything but blockbuster Hollywood product. “Any one of these factors would depress the business, so having all of them at once was something of a perfect storm,” notes Charles Heaphy, senior VP at City National Bank’s entertainment division. “This is like being in a rowboat while there’s a hurricane going on.” With respect to startups, Jason Calacanis wrote: It’s my believe [sic] that the economic downturn will be much worse than it is today, and that 50-80% of the venture-backed startups currently operating will shut down or go on life-support (i.e. 3-4 folks working on them) within the next 18 months. Make a list of every Web 2.0 startup to raise an A or B round and cross 80% of them off the list, because they will not make it to their next round of funding or profitability. Tough times like these will require media and entertainment companies as well as startups to rethink their strategies for investment and growth for the foreseeable future. It all sounds really, really bad. It’s not enough that it’s hard to finance movies or a good idea; contend with getting distribution or vacillating VC’s; now you’ll have to work that much harder to even find potential investment let alone actual investors. But the news may not be all bad. Money abhors a vacuum. There’s a lot of money out there sitting on the sidelines and plenty of people looking for places to put it; some of it from the most unlikely of places. I’ve spoken to personal money managers whose sole duty is to make at least 20% on client money in good times and bad. Some of this money previously invested in oil, gas and securities but with these markets in turmoil, these investors are now looking for new investment opportunities. If bank financing dries up, private equity (e.g., hedge funds) – already a big player in motion picture financing – will likely replace it. Moreover, I recently had several discussions at the Toronto Film Festival and elsewhere with several emerging market financiers who all viewed the current US economic situation as a unique investment opportunity. Let’s hope their optimism is contagious. bail outbustscharles heaphycity national bankcongressdave mcnarydavid brooksdebtdownturndreamworksemerging marketsequity investorsFinancingfred wilsonglobal markethedge fundsjason calacanislehman brothersliquidity crisismarket psychologymedia rights capitalmetro goldwyn mayermgmnegative thinkingpanaceapeter bartprivate equityprozacrecessionrelativity mediaryan kavanaughself defeating behaviorStart-upssteven spielbergthe new york timestoronto film festivalvarietyventure capitalistsweb 2.0	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0016.json.gz/line3279

DC Sports Nexus ---- Wednesday, November 9, 2011 Missing A Hockey Game: The Capitals opened the season on a Saturday night in October at home against the Carolina Hurricanes. I had just started the blog days prior and I was excited to start watching hockey and the Caps. Unfortunately, that weekend I was already scheduled to head out to the Mountain State Forest Festival in West Virginia. Since I was at the Forest Festival I was not going to be anywhere near a TV, although I doubt that the 2 bars in town had the NHL package (or a TV for that matter). I had a great time that weekend playing skeeball, drinking beers, and watching lumberjack contests. I think I even danced with Maiden Sylvia of the Forest. The whole time I made sure not to go online, not to look at a television, and not to talk to anyone that would know anything about a hockey score. (No prob, people only knew the WVU score) Damn You DVR: Sadly, when I got home I realized that my DVR was not set to tape the Capitals game, and that my "avoiding people who knew the score" was all for naught. "No worries," I thought to myself. I'll just watch it On Demand or online. Damn You Cox and/or Comcast: Usually after missing a Wizards game, Comcast will replay the game late at night. That doesn't seem to be happening this year. At least not for the games I wanted to watch a replay of. Comcast Sportsnet Washington has an On Demand feature which is listed on their website. One of the things that they claim is on demand for Cox Cable is called "Capitals Replay". That sounds promising. That sounds like it would be a replay of a previous game. Well it doesn't exist. Caps Redline 1. What extensive on demand coverage... Stealing Is Bad: Sites like Justin TV and the likes always have a feed of a game. You should not go to these as it is stealing, and stealing is bad. Because these are live streaming people's TVs, there is no recording and no archiving. So that option is not available. But if it was, I wouldn't do it, because like I said, stealing is bad. Oh I Can Watch The Game, For The Low Price Of $170: The cable bill is something like $100 a month. Some of that is internet, but the cable part is proably at least $50. That means I'm already spending $600 a year to be able to watch hockey (& Hoarders). Well the NHL is here to charge me more money! For only $170 I can watch a replay of all Capitals games online! And great! I only have to wait 48 hours per NHL local team regulations! What a deal! Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? The game was over. The score was final and I, along with all the other Caps fans, knew the score. So why couldn't I watch a replay of the game? Seriously! Am I missing something? Some Hope-Fullys: Hopefully you have a fully functional DVR that doesn't reboot every 10 minutes. Hopefully you set your DVR to record the game. Hopefully you tape the next 4 shows after the game in case it goes into overtime. Hopefully your roomate doesn't stop your recording of the game because "Cake Wars" and "Cake Boss" both "NEED" to be recorded. If not, don't expect to watch the game again.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0016.json.gz/line3287
__label__wiki	0.522494	0.522494	10 ways states can support the ICC and global justice You are hereHome 10 ways states can support the ICC and global justice 1. Arrest ICC fugitives As the ICC has no police force, governments must ensure that anyone wanted by the Court is detained and transferred to The Hague, regardless of their rank or station. The ICC’s founding treaty, the Rome Statute (RS), obliges all member states to carry out arrest warrants. When they fail to do so, states add insult to injury for victims and endanger the international justice system. A lack of state cooperation curtails the Court’s effectiveness. Non-ICC member states, particularly those on the UN Security Council, must also do more to arrest suspects. 2. Avoid ICC fugitives There can be no business as usual with ICC fugitives. State representatives must avoid non-essential contact with wanted persons to isolate them and to reinforce the Court’s authority. Encouragingly, the UN, European Union and certain individual states have policies on avoiding non-essential contact with ICC fugitives. Yet, much work clearly remains to be done with failures to arrest ICC suspects. 3. Prosecute nationally The ICC assists the international community in closing the impunity gap for the most heinous international crimes. But it remains a Court of last resort. National legal systems have primary responsibility to prosecute perpetrators of atrocities. By incorporating ICC crimes into domestic legislation, states can undertake effective national prosecutions. Implementing the RS is also a chance to reform national criminal systems, thereby strengthening the rule of law, peace and security. 4. Facilitate cooperation Cooperation with the ICC is usually reduced to simple terms: states either have the political will, or they don’t. While this is true of many high-profile cases, a failure to cooperate often stems from governments lacking resources or expertise. Designating focal points within state agencies and departments can go a long way to ensuring cooperation. Training police, military forces, lawyers, judges and prosecutors also integrates the ICC system into all facets of the state. Meanwhile, by ratifying the Agreement on Privileges and Immunities of the Court, governments can ensure ICC officials can conduct their work safely and independently, while securing the rights of the defense. Similarly, bringing national legislation in line with the RS facilitates better cooperation. 5. Promote justice Governments should use their political and diplomatic clout to encourage support for accountability, both publicly and privately. They can steer states not party to the RS toward ratification/accession and the adoption of national legislation by vouching for the benefits that ICC membership entails: advancement of the rule of law, development and good governance. The major powers outside the ICC system—including China, Russia and the United States— should also be made aware of how they can facilitate cooperation with the ICC. 6. Sign voluntary agreements State cooperation also includes signing voluntary agreements for witness relocation, enforcement of sentences, interim release and acquittal of suspects. These agreements are essential, but very few have been signed. Only Belgium has agreed to take suspects on interim release. As the Court’s workload increases, the consequences of the lack of such agreements are becoming apparent. With no acquittal agreements in place, Congolese militia leader Mathieu Ngudjolo Chui spent three years in asylum detention in the Netherlands following his release from the Court. ICC member states must take a broader view of their responsibilities to give the RS effect and building public confidence in the Court’s ability to deliver justice. 7. Protect witnesses As with national judicial systems, witnesses are essential to determining truth at the ICC. But they are vulnerable to intimidation or bribery or may have suffered trauma. Relocation agreements, though meant to be a last resort, have become a key part of the ICC’s protection program. Witness protection has become a critical issue at the Court in the past years. With people’s lives at stake, along with the integrity of ICC proceedings, it is crucial that more states make witness relocation an option. 8. Mainstream accountability Greater ownership of international justice is needed at every level in the global system. Governments can press for accountability through their membership of international and regional organizations to advance policies and activities that build cooperation. States can similarly incorporate the ICC’s mission into the work of various UN organs and offices. 8. Push the UN Security Council Governments must press the UN Security Council, which acts on behalf of the entire UN membership, to do more to ensure cooperation with the ICC. Concrete steps include: backing up ICC referrals by arresting suspects, ensuring that referrals can be adequately funded, ending the exclusion of nationals of non-ICC member states from the Court’s jurisdiction in referrals, following up on findings of non-cooperation referred by the Court and engaging in constructive dialogue with the ICC. States should also support initiatives to restrain the use of the veto by the permanent members of the Council when atrocity crimes are happening. 10. Support civil society With many countries around the world adopting draconian laws constraining civil society, governments should do more to support efforts to promote accountability and protect human rights defenders. State support and cooperation in the ICC system.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0016.json.gz/line3290
__label__cc	0.542772	0.457228	New Salem - February 18, 2009 By Dr. Gaylynn Becker Want to be a Game Warden? New Salem High School students had the opportunity to learn about what it takes to become a game warden and what it is like to be a game warden. Mr. Jeff Violett took a morning last week to present this information and more in Mrs. Larson’s biology and advanced biology classes. Other interested students attended by signing up in the office and getting permission from their classroom teacher. A North Dakota game warden salary starts at $ 2500.00 per month during the 11 to 20 weeks of training. After an additional 6-month probationary training period, the salary is increased to $ 3,082.00 per month. The top salary after many years can go as high as $ 5,136.00 per month. Some of the qualifications of becoming a game warden in North Dakota are: • Be 21 years of age • Bachelor’s degree • Posses or be able to attain a current peace officer license • North Dakota driver’s license • No record of felony convictions • Lift and carry large and heavy objects • Walk and run over uneven terrain • Work in all weather and environmental conditions North Dakota has about 27 district game wardens. About 70% of a game warden’s time is in enforcement of game and fish laws. Game wardens also: respond to wildlife damage complaints; game census and hunter success surveys; enforcement of boat and water laws during the summer; and assist other law enforcement agencies when called upon. (See The New Salem Journal for photos) Mr. Violett with a radio transmitter Mr. Violett with a radio transmitter and radio receiver Mr. Violett with night vision optics When asked if Mr. Violett ever had to fire his weapon at a person, he said no, he never has needed to. He said usually when a citation is issued, the person knows that they made a mistake. Game wardens can also wait and get backup help – if needed. Mr. Violett indicated that some current legislative issues that relate to people who enjoy the out of doors are bills dealing with: Baiting issues BUI (boating under the influence) Guides and outfitter bills. Mrs. Larson and Mr. Violett with night vision optics and a radio receiver Thanks to Mrs. Audrey Larson for allowing Mr. Violett to present in her classes. And thanks to Mr. Jeff Violett for taking time out of his busy schedule and sharing with students at New Salem High School some insights that can impact our students career planning. Speaking as one thoroughly enjoys the great out of doors, I wonder how my life would have been different had I been able to listen to a game warden talk to me while I was in high school?

__label__wiki	0.670997	0.670997	About Craft Art Biennale Intellectual Outputs Multiplier Events Learning/Teaching/ Training Events Arne Jacobsen – The Egg Chair Arne Jacobsen – The Egg Chair (1958) The Egg Chair, one of the Arne Jacobsen’s most iconic creations, was designed in 1958 for a special purpose. It was designed to adorn the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, Jacobsen’s most prominent work. This project closely connected a unique group of resounding names: the Scandinavian Airlines as its commissioner, Arne Jacobsen as its creator, and Fritz Hansen as the manufacturer. Their goal was to build a grand new hotel for the Jet age, a luxurious and impressive building that would reflect values and quality on the inside as well as on the outside. The Egg was initially designed in a sculptural manner as Jacobsen was exploring its form through experimenting with different materials. He decided on an organic egg-like shape and clad the chair in natural colours. He was also interested in how the characteristics of a particular material influence the form of a design. The Egg Chair was intended to stand out and dominate the space that it is placed in with its unusual form. Compared to Jacobsen’s other designs, it is big and voluminous while his designs are mostly simple and functional. Like some of Jacobsen’s other designs, the Egg was considered somewhat too modern at one point, but through time its spirit and liveliness have helped it to become an enduring classic.

__label__cc	0.694424	0.305576	Remo and his 4x4 travels. Part 2. Hi, Dear readers! It is high time we talked about some adventures! Why, You might ask. Firstly, because the weather is grey and one needs more color in the life. Secondly, there is always time for a great tale. Today we will be talking to Remo. Do You remember our last interview with him? If not, You can find it here. This year Remo has joined two trips, one was to Croatia and Slovenia another to Italy and France. OsmAnd was his trustworthy companion in both! “We used it for off road navigation and we also used it to find some nice camping spots. OsmAnd+ was working perfectly on these trips. Even in very isolated areas the app worked well. We constantly used the satellite maps with a street overlay. This combinations always allowed us to found a way in no time.” Time flies and neither we nor OsmAnd stands still. The progress we have made together is incredible. By listening to Your advice, we have made an app that users are not scared to rely upon, the one that will function in any circumstances as long as Your device is on. “Once in Croatia we followed a road which, in the end, changed into a mountain-bike track. At that point we could not turn back, so we had to follow the track. That was really hard, because the track was maybe one meter narrower than the cars. However, OsmAnd+ brought us to mesmerizing and breathtaking places! We found a lovely small lake, near which we set our camp. With an ordinary GPS app, we would have never found such a place! The funny thing is that after the sun had set, we found out that there must have been thousands of frogs! It was a really loud night after all.” Another story happened to our traveler in Slovenia. “It was raining so hard that we sometimes had to find other ways because the track we had chosen before was too muddy. With a tablet and OsmAnd app we were able to find a few better alternatives on the spot.” When Remo was in Croatia, he found an extremely picturesque place. They were just driving in the middle of nowhere when the sea appeared. The place was so marvelous that they decided to stay overnight. “We had planned our trip at home with tracks from friends, wikiloc, etc. We had all tracks activated in the app. So we could always see where a nice track or a camp spot, which we had marked at home, was. This function is very useful. One can activate multiple tracks at the same time and see all of them on the map. Which gives You an opportunity to be spontaneous when choosing a route.” The stories are like trips in a way, one never knows where it might take them! Remo starts a company that builds off road, overland, and trophy cars. Check it out www.off-tech.ch! “In 2021 we will start our biggest overland expedition. It will start in February 2021 in Morocco and will end somewhere in November. We still do not know where exactly we will go. But OsmAnd+ will find us the best way for sure!” Thank You, Remo, we are always glad to hear from You! Bye, Dear readers!	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0016.json.gz/line3303

SCOPE OF THE COURSE Overview of Linguistic Theories Theory and Praxis The Nature of Language Origin of Language Linguistics vs. Traditional Grammar An Outline of the History of Linguistics Overview of Modern Linguistics Theories Grammatical Analyses INTRODUCTION TO LINGUISTIC CONCEPTS Linguistics is scientific study of language Scientific (Theory): Praxis is the process by which a theory, lesson, or skill is enacted, practiced, embodied, or realised. "Praxis" may also refer to the act of engaging, applying, exercising, realizing, or practicing ideas. Definitions: Language "Language is the expression of ideas by means of speech-sounds combined into words. Words are combined into sentences, this combination answering to that of ideas into thoughts." (Henry Sweet, an English phonetician and language scholar) "A language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols by means of which a social group cooperates." (The U.S. linguists Bernard Bloch and George L. Trager). Language is “a system of communication by sound, i.e., through the organs of speech and hearing, among human beings of certain group or community, using vocal symbols possessing arbitrary conventional meaning”. (Mario Pei and Frank Gaynor. 1975. Dictionary of Linguistics. Littlefield, U.S.A.: Adams & Co.. p. 119) “Language is a system of arbitrary vocal symbols which permits all people in a given culture, or other people who have learned the system of that culture, to communicate or to interact.” (Mary Finnochiaro. 1974. English as a Second Language From Theory to Practice. New York: Regents Publishing Company, Inc.. p. 3.) Language is “a system of arbitrary vocal symbols used for human communication”. (Ronald Wardaugh. 1972. Introduction to Linguistics. New York: McGraw-Hill, Inc.. p. 3.) The Properties of Language People/human Culture (given/learned) Learned/Mental Faculty To communicate or to interact The Origins of Language Evidence from Anthropology and Archeology Genetic Evidence (DNA) Primatological Evidence Vocal call systems Cognitive abilities Sign language experiments Neurobiological Evidence Linguistic Evidence Protolanguage and “true” language Actual grammar versus conceivable grammars The functions of Language Descriptive and Explanative function; Predictive and Developmental function, and Control function (Reconstruct the history of language) Dichotomies Synchronic Linguistics vs. Diachronic Linguistics Theoretical Linguistics vs. Applied Linguistics Microlinguistics vs. Macrolinguistics Langue and Parole Linguistics and Traditional Grammar Traditional Grammar Focus: spoken language and all aspects Every language is unique Scope: Lang. as a complex and organized system An autonomous subject How features of language are related to each other Has notational convention Prescriptive Focus: written language and syntax Latin-based framework Scope: Language in relation to other disciplines Not an autonomous subject How features of language are related to the human beings No notational convention Babylonian Tradition Hindu Tradition Greek Linguistics Roman Tradition Arabic and Hebrew Tradition Middle Ages in Europe European Colonialism Diversification: The Prague School British Structuralism Danish Structuralism American Structuralism Contemporary Approaches to Linguistics Formal Linguistics Scope of Modern Linguistics Phonetics and phonology were dominant The International Phonetic Association was established in 1886 by a group of European phonetician British phonetician Henry Sweet (1845-1912): a leading figure Cours de linguistique générale by Ferdinand de Saussure was published posthumously by his students (1916) a. European Structuralism: Main tenets Language has a structure; Language is a system of signs; Language operates at two levels: langue and parole b. Ferdinand de Saussure: Structuralism Swiss linguist: 26 Nov. 1857 – 22 Feb. 1913 (English: /sɔ:’sʊr/ or /soʊ’sʊr/; French: [fɛʁdinɑ̃ də sosyʁ]) Sign: signifier – signified (form and substance) Langue – Parole Synchronic – Diachronic For him: Language is the form not the substance Langue is a repertoire of linguistic signs Sign: association of acoustic image and concept c. Some of Saussure’s Ideas His book Cours de linguistique générale or Course in General Linguistics (1916) –was published posthumously by former students The Course became one of the seminal linguistics works of the 20th century, not primarily for the content but rather for the innovative approach that Saussure applied in discussing linguistic phenomena. Content (Fr. contenu) consist of value and signification Value (Fr. valeur) (Ind. valensi or nilai) Relation: a sign and the other signs (sintagmatic and paradigmatic) Definition (Fr. signification) Relation: sound – concept We just talked on the board yesterday I couldn’t screw in the bulb. Nitrate; Night rate I scream Semiotics: Sign (in Cours) d. Roy Harris summarized Saussure’s contribution Language is no longer regarded as peripheral to our grasp of the world we live in, but as central to it. Words are not mere vocal labels or communicational adjuncts superimposed upon an already given order of things. They are collective products of social interaction, essential instruments through which human beings constitute and articulate their world. This typically twentieth-century view of language has profoundly influenced developments throughout the whole range of human sciences. It is particularly marked in linguistics, philosophy, psychology, sociology, and anthropology. e. Language as “Social Facts” Influenced by David Émile Durkheim (French: [emildyʁkɛm] or [dyʁkajm] (1858-1917): “social fact” and “collective consciousness”. Dichotomy: langue and parole Langue: socially shared system (language system) Parole: speech or the language of the individual (language behavior) Ogden and Richards (1923) 2. Diversification a. The Prague School The Prague school, or Prague linguistic circle, is a tradition of linguistic thought that is associated with a group of Czech and other linguist who formed a the Linguistic School of Prague, established in 1926. The group held a regular meetings and published a journal Travaux du cercle linguistique de Prague (launched in 1929). 1) Phonology Primary interest: phonology (Nicholai Trubtzkoy 1890-1838 in Vienna) Grundzüge der Phonologie [Principles of Phonology] Example (First Principle):Two sounds of a given language are merely optional phonetic variants of a single phoneme if they occur in exactly same environment and are interchangable without a change in a lexical meaning of words. Most famous: Roman Jacobson (1896-1982); emigrated to USA in 1942 and subsequently had a significant impact on the development of phonological theory there. The aim of historical linguistics is the study not of isolated changes within a language but of systematic change 3) Theme – Rheme Another interest: the relation between word order and discourse theme/topic and rheme/comment) AND given information and new information. THE PRAGUE SCHOOL was an influential group of literary critics and linguistics in Prague. Its proponents developed methods of structuralist literary analysis during the years 1928–1939. It has had significant continuing influence on linguistics and semiotics. Following the Czechoslovak coup d'état of 1948, the circle was disbanded in 1952, but the Prague School continued as a major force in linguistic functionalism (distinct from the Copenhagen school or English Firthian — later Hallidean — linguistics). American scholar Dell Hymes cites his 1962 paper, "The Ethnography of Speaking," as the formal introduction of Prague functionalism to American linguistic anthropology. b. British Structuralism 1) Daniel Jones (1881-1967): He took up and extended Henry’s work in phonetics. Jones’ books: An Outline of English Phonetics (1914) English Pronouncing dictionary The Standard IPA Vowel Trapezium (an application of Jones's work) 2) J.R. Firth General linguistics in Britain really began with the work of J.R. Firth (1890-1960), who held the first chair in Linguistics, in the University of London (1944-1956) – London School. Firth’s theory of prosodic analysis focused on phonetics elements larger than individual sounds. Firth was also deeply concerned with meaning and developed a contextual theory of meaning that accorded a crucial role to use in context. Firth’s student, Michael A.K. Halliday (1925--), developed coherent theory of language and systematic functional grammar. c. Danish Structuralism The Copenhagen School was headed by Louis Hjelmslev. Hjelmslev (1899-1965) and Hans Ulldal (1907-1957) developed glossematics. His father was a mathematician Hjelmslev (1899-1965) and Hans Ulldal (1907-1957) developed glossematics. It is an approach that focuses on the relations between units in the language system, in accordance with Saussurean thought which held that it is the relation between the linguistic entities rather that the entities themselves that is significant. Hjemslev introduction to the theory: Omkring sprogteoriens grundlægese (1943) Revised and annotated English translation Prolegomena of a theory of language (appeared a decade later) Highly abstract ‘algebraic theory’ to his father’s influence d. American Structuralism Franz Boas (1858-1942) Edward Sapir (1884-1939) Benjamin Lee Whorf (1987-1941) Leonard Bloomfield (1887-1949) North American Structuralism: Intro Beginning: a group of anthropologists describing fast-disappearing American-Indian tribes. They found that there was no methodology for them to follow in order to describe these languages. A new step in the American Structuralism: NA Structuralism centers in what people actually say (Leonard Bloomfield 1887-1949) North American Structuralism: Main tenets Linguistics is a descriptive science: Describe what people say, not what people should say. The primary form of language is the spoken one Not every language has a written form. Everybody learns an oral language. The spoken form comes first than the written one. Every language is a system on its own right: Language should not be described in terms of another language, but rather, it should be described on its own terms. Language is a system in which smaller units arrange systematically to form larger ones: These linguists proposed a procedure in which they began analyzing the smallest units and classifying them, and describing the patterns into which they combined to form larger units. Meaning should not be part of linguistic analysis: Bloomfield and many other structuralism followers consider meaning as abstract and unobservable, therefore, unscientific. The procedures to determine the units in language should be objective and rigorous: NA Structuralism rejected traditional definitions of, for example, a noun as “the word that refers to persons, animals or things” (definition based on meaning). Language is observable speech, not knowledge. In this respect, they provide two observable criteria for defying the items of language: Form and Distribution. Langue and parole were rejected as unscientific abstractions. The main objective would be to make a taxonomy of language based on observable samples of speech (corpus/corpora) The term Two general phases Bloomfield’s Language Distributionism Discovery procedures General term for variously developed branches of structuralism pioneered above all by E. Sapir (1884 - 1939)and L. Bloomfield (1887 - 1949). Although the various schools cannot be clearly distinguished from one another, a distinction is made between two general phases: the so-called ‘Bloomfield Era’, and distributionalism, with Z. Harris as chief representative. Two analytical steps The founder of American linguistics and American anthropology. Obtained information on Native American languages and cultures Examples: Lower Chinook, Cathlamet, Chemakum, Pentlach, Pochutec, and Tsetsaut. His method became the basis of American structuralism, a dominant force in twentieth-century linguistics. Handbook of North American Indian Languages (1911) as a morphological classification of American Indian languages (morphological classification and psychological characterization). Boas used Humboldt’ s concept of “inner form” to deal with the diversity of American Indian languages, seeing languages as conditioning the world view of their speakers. 2) Bloomfield Language, 1933 An approach to acquiring knowledge that emphasizes repeatable observations through the physical senses Stimulus-response theory a) Behaviorism School of psychology which seeks to explain animal and human behavior entirely in terms of observable and measurable responses to environmental stimuli. Behaviorism was introduced (1913) by the American psychologist John B. Watson, who insisted that behavior is a physiological reaction to environmental stimuli. Tabula Rasa (The mind comes as a blank slate) The conditioned-reflex experiments of the Russian physiologist Ivan Pavlov and the American psychologist Edward Thorndike were central to the development of behaviorism. The American behaviorist B. F. Skinner contended that all but a few emotions were conditioned by habit. John Watson (1878-1958) John Broadus Watson founded the behaviorist movement in American psychology. His view that only observable events, and not mental states, are the substance of psychology provided the behavioristic flavor that still characterizes much of psychology today. Pavlov (1849-1936) Ivan Petrovich Pavlov (1849-1936), a Russian physiologist who won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1904 for his work on the physiology of gastric secretion. Famous for studies on reflexes and for laying the foundations of the field of behavioural psychology. Skinner (1904–90) American psychologist, leading exponent of the school of psychology known as behaviorism, which explains the behavior of humans and other animals in terms of the physiological responses of the organism to external stimuli. Skinner maintained that learning occurred as a result of the organism responding to, or operating on, its environment. Skinner box Meaning: Sàr……sàR The stimulus (S) led someone to speak (R) and the response (R) was resulted from the speech (s). Bloomfield argues that we can tell what the meaning of r….s must just by observing the event that accompanied it. S → r ……….. s → R S: the girl feels hungry r: the girl asks the boy to pick an apple s: the boy hears the girl’s request R: the boy picks an apple and gives it to the girl …. sound waves Z. Harris C. Hockett K. Pike Characteristics of American structuralist Almost complete negligence of semantics attempt to formulate a set of "discovery procedures" Structuralism is based on the assumption that grammatical categories should be defined not in terms of meaning but in terms of distribution, and that the structure of each language should be described without reference to the alleged universality of such categories as tense, mood and parts of speech. Firstly, structural grammar describes everything that is found in a language instead of laying down rules; Secondly, structural grammar is empirical, aiming at objectivity in the sense that all definitions and statements should be verifiable or refutable. Let us discus these questions together: How Structuralism, Functionalism and Generativism have contribute to our present understanding of language? Why haven’t the questions what is language and how does language work haven’t been completely answered? In which aspects European and North American Structuralism meet and differ? J.R.

Read it and let us know what changes/improvements you suggest. Those advices that are technically feasible shall be implemented. About Dharitri Dharitri was launched by the ‘Samajwadi Society’ at Bhubaneswar on November 24, 1974. Blessed with the lofty vision and the searing perspective of great Oriya litterateur Kalindicharan Panigrahi and nurtured by the able hands of his illustrious daughter and the state’s first woman Chief Minister Nandini Satpathy, the paper set out to offer readers a new experience in and taste of reading. It graduated to offset printing in 1986. The paper found its real mojo in late 80s and early 90s of the last century under the guidance of present Editor Tathagata Satpathy. Soon, it became the mouthpiece of the subaltern, in sharp contrast to contemporary dailies that lived off political patronage. As the only impartial Odia newspaper of the state, Dharitri could fast endear itself to vast multitudes of youth, and was the first newspaper to launch special pages and features keeping in mind nuanced interests of its subscribers. Riding on a potpourri of content starting with mint fresh news, infotainment, business features to sports tid-bits, literature and literary critiques, it became number one paper in the capital city, both in terms of numbers and quality of its reportage. It continues to maintain leadership and hold over readers in urban and the state’s countryside. Dharitri made a new beginning in the history of Odia journalism by carrying a special page every day of the week on Youth, Agriculture, Business, Health & Science and such, going far beyond the daily chores of dishing out plain vanilla news. Its weekly special issues such as Sunday Supplement, Children’s Pullout and Literature Supplement have been a huge draw to this day. From day one, the paper has strived to enrich Odia language and literature. Going beyond carrying features of known writers and columnists, it has provided a platform to numerous budding writers through ‘Sahityayana’, a fortnightly literary supplement. It has also given space to new political and economic thoughts that have helped the paper to consistently keep a step ahead of competitors. It also carries regular features for leisurely read and children’s content such as short stories, poems, general knowledge and world events, among others. Dharitri has always espoused the cause of woman empowerment what with its campaign ‘Urja’ (Itz your world), an annual event bringing together girl students from all parts of the state. The spirit of Urja is retained in the pages of the publication even today. Dharitri has been carrying on its campaign to ensure that women get their voice heard. Odisha has a largely agrarian economy. Here, the progress of farmers is tantamount to the progress of the state. Swearing by this maxim, Dharitri devotes a significant chunk of its space to news and features on farming. It is the first and till now the only Odia daily to carry a special weekly feature page on agriculture ‘Krushi Jeevan’ that covers a wide array of content such as organic farming, high yield variety seeds and research-based agri-information that are practical and are being used by farmers across the state. Experts’ views on a variety of subjects such as seasonal paddy, vegetables, horticulture, bee-keeping, pisciculture, dairy and poultry farming and drip irrigation/water conservation are regularly included. Dharitri’s entertainment pages are a feast for its readers. Besides weekly capsule ‘Vichitraa’, it carries daily doses on film, television, yatra and music. It started a customized feature for children ‘Pilanka Dharitri’ to boost the cognitive faculties of children. It carries write-ups, drawings and paintings by children together with their photographs. The supplement, rich with 360 degree information for children, has been a major hit with kids. The paper has been endeavouring to drive awareness on science and healthcare. To address these issues, it began a weekly science page called ‘Swasthya Vigyan (Health Science). It carries features about works of Odia scientists and interesting updates on science and health technology . It also puts a premium on environment and its protection. Dharitri has always been ahead of others when it comes to catering to the interests of youngsters. Weekly tabloid Metro/Man Mizaz has been well received by the youth. The tabloid has caught on with students and youngsters by carrying tailor-made and edifying columns. A regular space for ‘selfie corner’ is a big hit with the youth. It publishes a weekly special ‘Agami Asha’ (Future Hope) carrying inspiring articles for Generation Y. Life is incomplete without sports and none scores better than Dharitri on this. Apart from covering daily sports news, it publishes a weekly sports special with detailed information that include field and track events. The paper stood out among its peers for its sterling coverage of business news, information on employment and career and experts’ columns. It carried a new genre of business news when the idea was yet to dawn on other newspapers in Odisha. Its Sunday supplement ‘Chhutidina’ is a most sought issue for its readers. It’s packed with an assortment of content such as current affairs, features, special days and festivals, history, heritage, customs, travelogues, personalities, films, satire, relationships, fashion, astrology and crime. Elephant, the largest land mammal, is in the middle of a crisis. The man-elephant conflict has come up as a major issue in Odisha. The number of elephant deaths is increasing alarmingly. In view of this problem and as a token of its commitment to environment and ecology, Dharitri launched a novel initiative ‘Hati Banchao, Haata Misao’ (Join Hands, Save the Elephant). This campaign has sought universal participation. It cannot be overstressed that renowned elephant experts such as Prof Raman Sukumar had helped launch this movement. Dharitri has opened a new chapter on the issue of elephant protection in the country and has been diligently carrying regular news and features on this theme. Any discussion on Odia life and culture is futile without a word on Lord #Jagannath. Since its inception, Dharitri has been featuring news, articles and special pages on Jagannath culture, rituals, festivals and services of the deities. ‘Daru Dian’ – its magazine published on the occasion of the #Nabakalebara in 2015—created ripples in the state and beyond. Its regular column on Jagannath titled ‘Aitihara Odisha’ (Heritage Odisha) has made an attempt to publish many facets of the most important Hindu temple of #Odisha. Last but not least, Dharitri, known for its gritty and intrepid editorials, has been highly appreciated by readers for its unmatched courage to speak the truth regardless of whose feathers are ruffled. In fact, Dharitri has been providing wind to its sails of progressive ideology unprejudiced by age old biases. It is also the only paper of the state that holds no brief for any business-mining lobby, nor for any political outfit. It can rightfully claim to be the voice of the common Odia.

In 1940 the University of Pennsylvania Museum began to excavate Sitio Conte, which belonged to a private landowner, located in the province of Coclé. A very small portion of the pre-Columbian cemetery, estimated to cover four or five acres in its entirety, was selected for excavation. The expedition yielded 6,600 pounds of pottery and stone. The textual records consist of 1.5 linear feet of field notes, diaries, and object cards; correspondence; administrative records concerning contracts, expenses, transportation, and equipment; and unpublished and published reports and articles concerning findings. The arrangement of the records became apparent after some research, for the original order had been lost. Most of the original folder titles, however, have been maintained.

The numbers on the drop off of Japan’s exports, particularly to the United States is STUNNING… Japan Exports Drop Record 49% as Global Slump Deepens (Update3) By Jason Clenfield March 25 (Bloomberg) -- Japan’s exports plunged a record 49.4 percent in February as deepening recessions in the U.S. and Europe sapped demand for the country’s cars and electronics. Shipments to the U.S., the country’s biggest market, tumbled an unprecedented 58.4 percent from a year earlier, the Finance Ministry said today in Tokyo. Automobile exports tumbled 70.9 percent. The collapse signals gross domestic product may shrink this quarter at a similar pace to the annualized 12.1 percent contraction posted in the previous three months, the sharpest since 1974. Prime Minister Taro Aso is compiling his third stimulus package as companies from Toyota Motor Corp. to Panasonic Corp. fire thousands of workers. Last month’s drop in exports was the sharpest since at least 1980, when the government started to keep comparable data. Economists predicted a 47.6 percent decline. Toyota, forecasting its first net loss in 59 years, yesterday said overseas shipments plunged 69 percent in February. Demand fell across all regions. Exports to Europe dropped a record 54.7 percent, shipments to Asia declined 46.3 percent and goods sent to China slumped 39.7 percent. Imports fell a record 43 percent, helping Japan post its first trade surplus in five months. Finance Minister Kaoru Yosano said on March 22 that a new stimulus package of as much as 20 trillion yen, double the amount pledged since October, is “not out of line” as the world’s second-biggest economy heads for its worst recession since 1945. The spending would add to public debt already estimated at 170 percent of gross domestic product. Now that’s what I call cliff diving numbers. Japan’s debt load is gigantic from attempts to save their banking industry nearly twenty years ago now. Despite lowering rates to zero and flooding the country with Yen, they are now only deeper in debt with worse economic problems than ever. Of course they went into their situation with savings and strong global economy. We won’t be so fortunate, and we are making almost all the same mistakes, only worse. So, if Japan’s exports to the U.S. are down 58% yoy in February, what does that say about the health of our economy? At our current rate of money pumping, how long until we're announcing $20 TRILLION stimulus plans? Let's see, with exponential growth, that's what, about 3 more months?

__label__cc	0.609941	0.390059	Charles Dickens on Management vs. Labor http://conversableeconomist.blogspot.com/2018/12/charles-dickens-on-management-vs-labor.html There's a sort of parlor game that the economically-minded sometimes play around the Christmas holiday, related to A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens. Was Dickens writing his story as an attack on economics, capitalism, and selfishness? After all, his depiction of Ebenezer Scrooge, along with his use of phrases like "decrease the surplus population" and "a good man of business" would suggest as much, and a classic example of such an interpretation is here. Or was Dickens just telling a good story with distinct characters? After all, Scrooge is portrayed as an outlier in the business community. The warm portrayal of Mr. Fezziwig certainly opens the possibility that one can be a successful man of business as well as a good employer and a decent human being. And if Scrooge hadn't saved money, would he have been able to save Tiny Tim? It's all a good "talker," as they say about the topics that get kicked around on radio shows every day. As part of my own holiday break, I republish this essay each year near Christmas day. I went looking for some other perspectives on how Charles Dickens perceived capitalism that were not embedded in a fictional setting. In particular, I checked the weekly journal Household Words, which Dickens edited from 1850 to 1859. Articles in Household Words do not have authors provided. However, Anne Lohrli went through the business and financial records of the publication, which identified the authors and showed who had been paid for each article. The internal records of the journal show that Dickens was the author of this piece from the issue of February 11, 1854, called "On Strike." (Lohrli's book is called Household Words: A Weekly Journal 1850-59, conducted by Charles Dickens, University of Toronto Press, 1973. Household Words is freely available on-line at at site hosted by the University of Buckingham, with support from the Leverhulme Trust and other donors.) The article does not seem especially well-known today, but it is the source of a couple of the most common quotations from Charles Dickens about "political economy," as the study of economics was usually called at the time. Early in the piece, Dickens wrote: ""Political Economy was a great and useful science in its own way and its own place; but ... I did not transplant my definition of it from the Common Prayer Book, and make it a great king above all gods." Later in the article, Dickens wrote: "[P]olitical economy is a mere skeleton unless it has a little human covering and filling out, a little human bloom upon it, and a little human warmth in it." But more broadly, the article is of interest because Dickens, telling the story in the first person, takes the position that in thinking about a strike taking place in the town of Preston, one need not take the side either of management or labor. Instead, Dickens writes, one may "be a friend to both," and feel that the strike is "to be deplored on all accounts." Of course, the problem with a middle-of-the-road position is that you can end up being hit by ideological traffic going in both directions. But the ability of Dickens to sympathize with people in a wide range of positions is surely part what gives his novels and his world-view such lasting power. The article goes into a fair amount of detail, and can be read on-line, so I will content myself here with a substantial excerpt. Here's a portion of the 1854 essay by Dickens: "ON STRIKE" Travelling down to Preston a week from this date, I chanced to sit opposite to a very acute, very determined, very emphatic personage, with a stout railway rug so drawn over his chest that he looked as if he were sitting up in bed with his great coat, hat, and gloves on, severely contemplating your humble servant from behind a large blue and grey checked counterpane. In calling him emphatic, I do not mean that he was warm; he was coldly and bitingly emphatic as a frosty wind is. "You are going through to Preston, sir?" says he, as soon as we were clear of the CharPrimrose Hill tunnel. The receipt of this question was like the receipt of a jerk of the nose; he was so short and sharp. "This Preston strike is a nice piece of business!" said the gentleman. "A pretty piece of business!" "It is very much to be deplored," said I, "on all accounts." "They want to be ground. That's what they want to bring 'em to their senses," said the gentleman; whom I had already began to call in my own mind Mr. Snapper, and whom I may as well call by that name here as by any other. * I deferentially enquired, who wanted to be ground? "The hands," said Mr. Snapper. " The hands on strike, and the hands who help 'em." I remarked that if that was all they wanted, they must be a very unreasonable people, for surely they had had a little grinding, one way and another, already. Mr. Snapper eyed me with sternness, and after opening and shutting his leathern-gloved hands several times outside his counterpane, asked me abruptly, " Was I a delegate?" I set Mr. Snapper right on that point, and told him I was no delegate. "I am glad to hear it," said Mr. Snapper. "But a friend to the Strike, I believe?" "Not at all," said I. "A friend to the Lock-out?" pursued Mr. Snapper. "Not in the least," said I, Mr. Snapper's rising opinion of me fell again, and he gave me to understand that a man must either be a friend to the Masters or a friend to the Hands. "He may be a friend to both," said I. Mr. Snapper didn't see that; there was no medium in the Political Economy of the subject. I retorted on Mr. Snapper, that Political Economy was a great and useful science in its own way and its own place; but that I did not transplant my definition of it from the Common Prayer Book, and make it a great king above all gods. Mr. Snapper tucked himself up as if to keep me off, folded his arms on the top of his counterpane, leaned back and looked out of the window. "Pray what would you have, sir," enquire Mr. Snapper, suddenly withdrawing his eyes from the prospect to me, "in the relations between Capital and Labour, but Political Economy?" I always avoid the stereotyped terms in these discussions as much as I can, for I have observed, in my little way, that they often supply the place of sense and moderation. I therefore took my gentleman up with the words employers and employed, in preference to Capital and Labour. "I believe," said I, "that into the relations between employers and employed, as into all the relations of this life, there must enter something of feeling and sentiment; something of mutual explanation, forbearance, and consideration; something which is not to be found in Mr. M'CulIoch's dictionary, and is not exactly stateable in figures; otherwise those relations are wrong and rotten at the core and will never bear sound fruit." Mr. Snapper laughed at me. As I thought I had just as good reason to laugh at Mr. Snapper, I did so, and we were both contented. ... Mr. Snapper had no doubt, after this, that I thought the hands had a right to combine? "Surely," said I. " A perfect right to combine in any lawful manner. The fact of their being able to combine and accustomed to combine may, I can easily conceive, be a protection to them. The blame even of this business is not all on one side. I think the associated Lock-out was a grave error. And when you Preston masters—" "I am not a Preston master," interrupted Mr. Snapper. "When the respectable combined body of Preston masters," said I, " in the beginning of this unhappy difference, laid down the principle that no man should be employed henceforth who belonged to any combination—such as their own—they attempted to carry with a high hand a partial and unfair impossibility, and were obliged to abandon it. This was an unwise proceeding, and the first defeat." Mr. Snapper had known, all along, that I was no friend to the masters. "Pardon me," said I; " I am unfeignedly a friend to the masters, and have many friends among them." "Yet you think these hands in the right?" quoth Mr. Snapper. "By no means," said I; " I fear they are at present engaged in an unreasonable struggle, wherein they began ill and cannot end well." Mr. Snapper, evidently regarding me as neither fish, flesh, nor fowl, begged to know after a pause if he might enquire whether I was going to Preston on business? Indeed I was going there, in my unbusinesslike manner, I confessed, to look at the strike. "To look at the strike!" echoed Mr. Snapper fixing his hat on firmly with both hands. "To look at it! Might I ask you now, with what object you are going to look at it?" "Certainly," said I. " I read, even in liberal pages, the hardest Political Economy—of an extraordinary description too sometimes, and certainly not to be found in the books—as the only touchstone of this strike. I see, this very day in a to-morrow's liberal paper, some astonishing novelties in the politico-economical way, showing how profits and wages have no connexion whatever; coupled with such references to these hands as might be made by a very irascible General to rebels and brigands in arms. Now, if it be the case that some of the highest virtues of the working people still shine through them brighter than ever in their conduct of this mistake of theirs, perhaps the fact may reasonably suggest to me—and to others besides me—that there is some little things wanting in the relations between them and their employers, which neither political economy nor Drum-head proclamation writing will altogether supply, and which we cannot too soon or too temperately unite in trying to find out." Mr. Snapper, after again opening and shutting his gloved hands several times, drew the counterpane higher over his chest, and went to bed in disgust. He got up at Rugby, took himself and counterpane into another carriage, and left me to pursue my journey alone. ... In any aspect in which it can be viewed, this strike and lock-out is a deplorable calamity. In its waste of time, in its waste of a great people's energy, in its waste of wages, in its waste of wealth that seeks to be employed, in its encroachment on the means of many thousands who are labouring from day to day, in the gulf of separation it hourly deepens between those whose interests must be understood to be identical or must be destroyed, it is a great national affliction. But, at this pass, anger is of no use, starving out is of no use—for what will that do, five years hence, but overshadow all the mills in England with the growth of a bitter remembrance? —political economy is a mere skeleton unless it has a little human covering and filling out, a little human bloom upon it, and a little human warmth in it. Gentlemen are found, in great manufacturing towns, ready enough to extol imbecile mediation with dangerous madmen abroad; can none of them be brought to think of authorised mediation and explanation at home? I do not suppose that such a knotted difficulty as this, is to be at all untangled by a morning-party in the Adelphi; but I would entreat both sides now so miserably opposed, to consider whether there are no men in England above suspicion, to whom they might refer the matters in dispute, with a perfect confidence above all things in the desire of those men to act justly, and in their sincere attachment to their countrymen of every rank and to their country. Masters right, or men right; masters wrong, or men wrong; both right, or both wrong; there is certain ruin to both in the continuance or frequent revival of this breach. And from the ever-widening circle of their decay, what drop in the social ocean shall be free! -- via my feedly newsfeed Posted by The Red Caboose at 6:49 PM	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0016.json.gz/line3333

Mr J H W W's Private Hire Drivers Licence be revoked as Mr J H W W is not a fit and proper person to hold such a Licence. 2. As the revocation was on the grounds of public safety the revocation take immediate effect under the provisions of Section 61(2)(B). 10.00 am - 12 noon 64/07 Consideration was given to a report on a Licensed Private Hire Driver who was charged by Police for drink driving and leaving the scene of an accident whilst in a Private Hire Vehicle. At the time of the incident Mr J H W W's partner confirmed he had been drinking and that he had left the house in his taxi and when he returned it was damaged. The case was dropped at court as Mr J H W W's partner at the time did not attend court to give evidence. When interviewed by licensing officers Mr J H W W denied he was driving and implicated his sister. Mr J H W W sister had refused to be interviewed by officers regarding this matter and officers had not been able to conclude their investigations. Mr J H W W was a licensed private hire driver. He was first licensed on 29th July 2005, his current licence was due to expire on 31st July 2008. On 4th August 2006 an e-mail was received from PC1881 Neil Bennett from the Cleveland Police Road Policing Unit stating that Mr J H W W had been arrested and charged with drink driving. A copy of the e-mail was attached to the report, and a copy of the arresting officer's statement was attached to the report. Mr J H W W's partner at the time, Ms M S gave police a statement when she stated that Mr J H W W was drunk and they had argued, he had then driven off in the taxi and returned approximately 30 minutes later stating that he had two flat tyres. A copy of Ms M S's statement was attached to the report. Mr J H W W was immediately suspended by the Trading Standards & Licensing Manager using his delegated powers. A Copy of the suspension letter was attached to the report. Mr J H W W was interviewed regarding the circumstances surrounding his arrest where he stated that his sister, Ms J C was driving the private hire vehicle. A copy of the transcript of this interview was attached to the report. At Court the main witness, Ms M S, did not attended and therefore the Police were unable to offer any evidence and the case was dismissed. As a consequence of this the suspension of Mr J H W W Private Hire driving licence was lifted and he was given written authorisation to drive pending further investigation by Licensing Officer's. Mr J H W W's sister, Ms J C, who was not a licensed driver was invited to attend for interview on two occasions but declined through her solicitor. She also declined to answer any questions via correspondence relating to her involvement in the matter. On the 4th December 2007 Mr J H W W was interviewed for a second time regarding a Statement that was obtained from Mr Imran Khan one of the owners of Royal Cars who own the vehicle involved in the accident. In this statement he said that Ms J C had informed him that she had not been driving the private hire vehicle on the night in question, and that it was actually her brother Mr J H W W who was driving. A copy of this statement was attached to the report. During the interview Mr J H W W still denied that he was the person driving the taxi and that it was his sister Ms J C. A copy of the interview transcript was attached to the report. Members were advised that Mr J H W W attended before the Licensing Committee on 12th July 2005 when his initial application was considered. This was for members to determine his fitness to hold a Private Hire drivers licence due to his previous criminal convictions. He was granted his licence for an initial 6-month period after which he had to re-apply and appear before the Licensing Committee for members to determine his continued suitability to be a licensed driver. A copy of the Committee decision letter was attached to the report, and a copy of Minute 168, which refers, was attached to the report. Members were respectfully reminded that under the provisions of Section 61 of the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1976 the Local Authority may suspend, revoke, or refuse to renew the licence of a driver on any of the following grounds:- a) That he has since the grant of the licence:- i) been convicted of an offence involving dishonesty, indecency or violence. ii) Been convicted of an offence of fails to comply with the provisions of the Act of 1847, or part of this Act or, iii) Any other reasonable cause. And Section 61(2) (A) Subject to subsection (2B) of this section, a suspension or revocation of the licence of a driver under this section takes effect at the end of the period of 21 days beginning with the day on which notice is given to the driver under subsection (2)(a) of this section. (B) If it appears in the interests of public safety require the suspension or revocation of the licence to have immediate effect, and the notice given to the driver under subsection (2)(a) of this section includes a statement that is so and an explanation why, the suspension or revocation takes effect when the notice is given to the driver. Mr J H W W was present at the meeting with his solicitor Mr Crocker and his current partner. Members acknowledged Mr Imran Khan was also in attendance to support his statement. Members noted that the issue for the Committee to consider concerned an incident when a private hire vehicle that was in Mr J H W W's charge was involved in an accident on Thornaby Road, and the vehicle had left the scene of the accident. The vehicle was found by a Police Officer parked on a driveway in Scarthwood Close, Ingleby Barwick. The Police Officer noted in his statement that the bonnet of the vehicle was still hot. Mr J H W W was present in the property along with his then partner Ms M S. Ms M S informed the Police Officer that Mr J H W W had been out for the evening together and that he had been drinking. When Mr J H W W returned home he had an argument, Ms M S then went upstairs, the front door then slammed and the taxi was driven away. Ms M S stated that about 30 minutes later Mr J H W W returned home and said that he had two flat tyres. Approximately 30 minutes after that the Police arrived at the property and arrested Mr J H W W for drink driving. Mr J H W W informed the Police Officer that he could not remember anything. Ms M S stated in her statement "there is no doubt about it, Mr J H W W drove off in his car after we had argued and after he'd had a lot to drink, as I've said, he was drunk". Mr J H W W was arrested and charged with drink driving. Members were informed that when the matter got to Court Mr J H W W had split up with Ms M S and she had moved to Scotland. At Court Mr J H W W's sister, Ms J C, attended and informed the Prosecutor that she had been driving the private hire vehicle when it was involved in the accident. As there were problems with securing Ms M S attendance at Court the Crown Prosecution Service took the decision to offer no evidence against Mr J H W W and the drink driving charge against Mr J H W W was dismissed. Mr J H W W gave evidence to Members that he could remember very little of the night in question but that both Mr J H W W and his partner, Mrs M S, had been out drinking in Stockton, they had gone out at approximately 7 p.m. and returned to Mr J H W W home at Ingleby Barwick at approximately 1 a.m. the following morning. Mr J H W W stated that he had argued and Ms M S had gone upstairs, Mr J H W W had then fallen asleep on the settee. Mr J H W W stated that the next recollection he had was when he was woken by the Police Officer. Mr J H W W stated that prior to the hearing in the Magistrates Court he was informed that his sister Ms J C had been driving the vehicle. Mr J H W W stated that he was prepared to take the blame for the incident, as he did not wish to get his sister into trouble. However, when Mr J H W W attended at Court he said that his sister must have felt guilty as she attended and informed the Prosecutor/Court that she had been driving the vehicle on the night in question. When Mr J H W W was questioned closely about the events of the evening, he gave evidence that he was asleep on the settee and could remember very little until the Police arrived. Mr J H W W's evidence was that his sister Ms J C had fallen out with her husband and had got a taxi from Billingham to Ingleby Barwick at or around 1 a.m. Ms J C had a key to his house and she had let herself in, neither Mr J H W W or Ms M S heard her enter the property. Ms J C then found the keys to the Private Hire Vehicle and took it for a drive, she returned to the house, again without Mr J H W W or Ms M S hearing her. Ms J C entered the property putting the car keys back and she then left. At no time did Mr J H W W see or hear Ms J C. When questioned on Mr J H W W relationship with his sister, Ms J C, he stated that he no longer spoke to her as he had fallen out over this incident. Mr J H W W also stated that he had not spoken to her for over a year. When Mr J H W W was asked why he had not brought Ms J C to the meeting as she was in effect his main witness to the events of the evening, Mr J H W W stated that he had not asked her. Members found this to be particularly strange especially as Mr J H W W knew that Members had the power to revoke his licence. When asked why Mr J H W W had not asked Ms J C to attend he replied that he was aware she would not assist the Council so why would she help him. When asked how Mr J H W W was aware that Ms J C would not assist the Council, Mr J H W W stated that the Council had "hand delivered" a letter to her asking her to assist and that she had not helped the Council so she would not help him. Mr J H W W was asked how he knew that the letter to Ms J C had been hand delivered if he had not spoken to her for 12 months, Mr J H W W stated that it was in the Committee papers. Mr J H W W was invited to point out where it made mention of that in the Committee papers. Mr J H W W could not do so and then said that he had assumed the letter had been hand delivered as his letter inviting him to Committee had been. Members were advised by their legal adviser that as these were civil proceedings they could admit hearsay evidence such as the statement of Ms M S and the comments Mr J H W W were making in respect of his sisters statement but should attach whatever weight they saw fit. Members had to consider all of the evidence before them and decide on the balance of probabilities whether Mr J H W W was driving the vehicle when it was involved in the accident or whether in fact Ms J C had been driving as contended by Mr J H W W. After giving the matter due consideration the Members found Mr J H W W's explanation that Ms J C had been driving the vehicle to be unbelievable. Members found that the evidence Mr J H W W gave was untruthful. Members found on the balance of probabilities that Mr J H W W was driving the vehicle when it was involved in the accident and that Mr J H W W was over the drink drive limit. It was noted that Mr J H W W had also left the scene of an accident when damage had been caused to street furniture, namely bollards. These findings were a reasonable cause to call into question Mr J H W W's continued fitness to hold a private hire drivers licence. Members also noted that Mr J H W W was first licensed on 29th July 2005 and that at the time Mr J H W W's application had been referred to Members for their consideration. Members had concerns over Mr J H W W's criminal record and had issued his licence with a warning as to his future conduct. Members had given Mr J H W W a chance to prove himself and his behaviour in driving over the drink drive limit and leaving the scene of an accident fell far short of that expected of a licensed driver. Members also found Mr J H W W's evidence to be wholly untruthful which was another damning example of his fitness.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0016.json.gz/line3335
