__label__cc	0.73888	0.26112	Wired for Wealth Activation Session with Karen Geddis Wednesday, March 13th, 11.30am Sydney Time (see more times below) Purchase Your Seat In this 90 Min Session We'll activate and fortify your connection to the Wealth Grid that's active on the planet now We'll be identifying Core Beliefs around Wealth and Receiving and then release them using powerful vibrational healing that shifts energy at the cellular level in your body. We'll lock some potent wealth affirmations into your subconscious mind and set you up to start calling in more of everything you want. We'll have a Q&A after the activation so that Karen can help you personally with any manifesting/receiving set-backs you're having, and to identify and work on any individual issues around creating the life/business you desire. WHEN: Wednesday, 13th February 2019 at 10.30am Brisbane / 11.30am Sydney / 1.30pm NZ WHERE: Online via Zoom (you'll be emailed a link to join) Join the Session for just $97 Australian Is the session recorded, and do I get a copy? Absolutely! Part if your purchase is a copy of the recording to keep and to revisit as often as you like. Often revisiting the session can bring deeper insights and bring more aha's to the surface, especially listening to the Q&A/Coaching segment (the healing and activating is done at the time of the session - whether you're there live or not - and it works through your system in its own time and at the pace that your body is ready to go at). Revisiting the affirmations we lock in can be helpful, too, to further wire new neural pathways in your brain and to bring them more into your conscious awareness. What if I can't make it live? There will be a recording sent out to everyone who attended the session. This is yours to keep and to revisit as often as you like. The clearing and healing is still as potent if you aren't there because by purchasing you are connected into the group's energy. How does the vibrational healing/ activation work? By tuning into the group's energy field I am able to identify where the core beliefs, patterns, core fears are held and then, using the power of intention and energetic transmissions, we clear and release them. We also seed new patterns into your DNA. Each session is unique to the group who attends, so it is highly individualised and deeply transformative. What questions can I bring to the session? You can ask anything you like in the Q&A that relates to what you're struggling to manifest, or you may have something surface during the clearing that prompts a need for further coaching or clarification. It's your opportunity to get your burning question answered. Because of the nature of these group sessions, you often get a number of questions answered as others ask theirs! Who is Karen Geddis? Karen is on a mission to help people know who they are as intuitive beings so that they can use this manifesting superpower to create the life they were born to live - that life that feels easy, purposeful and fulfilling. The people Karen works with have had enough of the bullsh*t stories that their ego / monkey mind / fear has been telling them all their lives, and they are ready to feel like they're making the impact they're meant to without all the self-doubt, self-judgement, overwhelm and lack of self-belief. She is the founder of the Work (energetically) SmarterTM framework for living and working, and she runs 12 week intimate Immersion groups for people who are ready to live an intuitive, deliberate and life effortlessly manifesting everything they want.

Synthesis of Mesoporous Silica and their Use as Templates for Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles Open this publication in new window or tab >>Synthesis of Mesoporous Silica and their Use as Templates for Metal and Metal Oxide Nanoparticles This thesis covers the synthesis and characterization of two types of mesoporous silica, SBA-15 silica with two-dimensional hexagonal arrangement, and SBA-16 silica with three-dimensional cubic arrangement. The obtained mesoporous materials were then used as hard templates for synthesizing of different types of nanostructures. In the first part, the effects of some synthesis parameters on the morphology and texture properties of the mesoporous silica have been studied. By varying the synthesis temperature solid spheres of SBA-16 with different sizes were synthesized and by additions of heptane as a swelling agent, SBA-16 in a hollow-sphere morphology with a large pore size was obtained. In the case of SBA-15, dispersed rods were synthesized in the presence of heptane and NH4F in a low-temperature synthesis. The length of the rods was varied by changing the concentration of HCl, and the pore size was tuned by changing the hydrothermal treatment time and temperature. Furthermore, the reaction time was decreased with a well-retained pore size and morphology. This work has resulted in SBA-15 rods with large pore sizes for this morphology. In the second part, SBA-15 and SBA-16 silica were used to synthesize different nanostructured materials such as metal and metal oxide nanoparticles. In fact, most of the work in this part is focused on the use of mesoporous silica as hard templates for synthesis of different types of nanoparticles. The synthesis of these nanoparticles was carried out by infiltration of a suitable precursor in the pores of the silica template. The mesoporous frameworks act as molds controlling the size and the final shape of the formed nanostructures. Subsequent dissolution of the silica templates by NaOH resulted in e.g., monodispersed zirconia, hematite, and cobalt nanoparticles with narrow size distributions. Functionalization of the SBA-15 surfaces was carried out in the synthesis of cobalt nanoparticles. This functionalization plays a crucial role on the infiltration and reaction of the reagents in the pores of the silica. By functionalization of the external surface, a highly hydrophobic surface was achieved, which proved to be sufficient to avoid formation of large cobalt particles outside the silica channels, while the internal functionalization enhances the attraction of cobalt ions to the silica pores, and as a result the nanoparticles grew inside these pores.

On the island of Alno, Sweden, alkaline intrusions are interspersed into non-alkaline gneiss bedrock, which provides a unique opportunity to conduct this study with a minimum of confounding effects. Three plots with alkaline and three plots with non-alkaline parent material were established in a homogenous Norway spruce stand. The chemical composition of soil and soil solution was determined throughout the soil profiles. The chemical composition of bark, wood and needles was determined for each plot, and the latest 5 year basal area growth increment calculated. Concentrations of Ca in needles were correlated with the soil exchangeable Ca levels. Tree growth rate was significantly higher on the alkaline plots and positively correlated with soil concentrations of Ca, Mg, P, and Zn. The tree growth rate also tended to correlate with soil N concentrations, but levelled out for the highest soil N concentrations. Tree growth was enhanced on the alkaline plots and was correlated with several elements. However, none of these elements could be confirmed as the limiting one for tree growth at the current site.

In this investigation a small boreal catchment in central Sweden was studied for two years before and two years after treatment with the maximum recommended dose, 3 tonnes/ha, of crushed, self-hardened wood ash. The sampling area was situated in a slope towards a stream, to include the effect on both recharge- and discharge areas with different soil constitutions. The soil solution chemistry, exchangeable pool of cations and potential heavy metal accumulation in berries were studied. Temporary increases in soil solution concentration were found for K in the recharge area and Ca and SO4 in the discharge area when comparing ashed and control areas. No change in exchangeable cations was observed during the study period, and no increase of heavy metals in bilberries did occur. These small changes in the constitution of the soil solution do not suggest wood ash application as a method to improve soil quality in an initial phase.

The Swedish Forest Agency recommends compensation fertilization with wood ash to ensure that unwanted effects are avoided in the nutrient balance of the forest soil and in the quality of surface water. In this investigation, the chemistry of two first-order streams, of which one was subjected to a catchment scale treatment with 3 tonnes of self-hardened wood ash/ha in the fall of 2004, was monitored during 2003-2006. Large seasonal variations in stream water chemistry made changes due to ash application difficult to detect, but evaluating the ash treatment effects through comparison of the stream water of the treated catchment with the reference was possible via statistical tools such as randomized intervention analysis in combination with cumulative sum charts. The wood ash application did not yield any significant effect on the pH in the stream water and hence did not affect the bicarbonate system. However, dissolved organic carbon increased, a previously unreported effect of WAA, bringing about an increase of organic anions in the stream water. The wood ash application also induced significant increases for Ca, Mg, K, Si, Cl and malonate, of which K was most prominent. Although significant, the changes induced by the wood ash application were all small compared to the seasonal variations.

The two catchments closely resemble each other in regard to size, shape and drainage density, with the major difference found in the area of wetland lining the streambeds. The emphasis of the study was to investigate the stream water chemistry of these closely resembling catchments, regarding the quality and quantity of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and its influence on the concentrations of di- and trivalent cations. The streams showed significant differences in the content and size distribution of DOC and in the distribution of cations between the different size fractions. For both streams the high flow events induced by precipitation influenced the chemistry of the streams through increase of organic matter and its associated cations. Fanbergsbäcken, with relatively low pH and high DOC concentration, had a greater amount of high molecular mass (HMM) DOC to which approximately 75% of Al and Fe and about 50% of Ca and Mg were associated. Gråbergsbäcken, with a higher pH and lower DOC level, had approximately 65% of Al, 40% of Fe and 30% of Ca and Mg associated to its HMM DOC fraction. Sixteen different low molecular mass organic acids were found in the stream water, of which oxalic and lactic acid were present in the highest concentrations.

Soil samples and soil solution were collected in a slope at two distances (10 and 80 m) from a stream. The aims were to examine interactions between recharge (podzol) and discharge (arenosol) areas and to investigate the relations between soil solution and stream water chemistry. The parent material was similar within the catchment, but the content of C and N were higher in the discharge area most likely due to the difference in hydrological conditions compared to the recharge area. Exchangeable cations and base saturation were higher in the discharge area than in the recharge area, which may be due to the higher content of C. The concentrations in soil solution of H, DOC, NO3, SO4, Al, Si, Ca and K charge area compared to the recharge area which was probably caused by transportation of elements in soil and retention due to the increased content of C. During snow melt, the concentrations in soil solution of DOC, SO4, Al, Si, Ca and K were low due to dilution and low biological activity. The concentrations were then increasing during the seasons as an effect of biological activity and mineral weathering. NO3 concentration in soil solution was found in higher concentrations during snow melting and was then diminishing during summer likely as a result of biological uptake. After a dry period followed by an intensive rain in August 2003, the stream water chemistry was markedly altered for a few days. The concentrations of H, DOC SO4, Al and Ca were increased and the concentration of Si was decreased in the stream water. It therefore appeared that the stream water mirrored the upper soil horizons in the discharge area during high flows, while reflecting the lower soil horizons and ground water during low flows.

Soil solution and stream water chemistry in a forested catchment, I Dynamics.). To further examine the factors that determine the soil and stream water properties in the catchment area, the present study focused on the organic dynamics and the association of cations to different size fractions of organic matter. Six sampling plots were established in each of the recharge and discharge areas, respectively, with samples taken in June 2004. Dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and cation concentrations in the soil solution and stream water were determined. In the recharge area, low molecular mass (LMM) organics played an important role in transportation of several cations through the soil profile, inducing the podzolisation process by associating with Al and Fe. In the discharge area close to the stream, high molecular mass (HMM) organics appeared to play a crucial role in transportation of cations. Here the majority of recovered cations were associated with HMM organic matter, inhibiting the podzolisation process. The total concentration of C and DOC was higher than in the recharge area, and the concentration of cations increased with depth in the mineral soil. In the stream water, as in the discharge area soil solution, all carboxylic groups were associated to cations. Both Al and Fe were completely associated with the HMM DOC fraction, which indicated a rapid turnover of LMM DOC in stream water. Thus we conclude that DOC plays an important role in soil forming processes, and that its different size fractions have large effects on the transportation of elements in different soils and in stream water.

__label__cc	0.55917	0.44083	Miller's 1898 graduation address at Howard University Professor Kelly Miller addressed the graduating class of the College of Arts and Sciences at Howard University on 1 June 1898. Below we give a version of that address. Mr President, Dean of the College Faculty, Ladies and Gentlemen, Members of the Graduating Class: When Socrates was about to be sacrificed upon the altar of truth, his devoted disciples gathered around him and asked if he had any especial advice or final message to leave with them in view of his approaching doom. But the serene philosopher, endowed as he was with a double portion of Greek moderation and calmness of spirit, replied that he had nothing new to offer them beyond the principles which he had striven to inculcate during the whole period of their intercourse as disciples and master. And so tonight, adopting the words of the martyred sage, I must warn you at the outset that I have no fresh advice or new words of wisdom to offer different from the lessons which I have striven to impart during the years of our academic relationship. You have now come to the end of your scholastic labours. To you, years of hopes, ambitions, aspirations, and strivings are epitomized in the proceedings of this hour. For years you have been yearning for the large excitement of the outside world. Tonight you cross the threshold of college confinement into this larger life. The instruction which you have received here, and upon which your diplomas set a seal, will be of value to you only in so far as you digest and assimilate it, and wisely adapt it to the tasks which lie before you. A machine is an instrument whose purpose is to transmit and modify the force imparted to it, in such manner as to accomplish desired mechanical work. The function of machinery is to modify the form or direction of impressed energy and to transmit it to the required points of application. The steam engine takes in fuel containing, in latent form, the stored up energy of past ages, and transforms it into power available for the uses and wants of man. You are animated machines - pieces of divine mechanism. You have taken in a good supply of knowledge which represents the stored up energy of all human experience. Your efficiency in life will depend upon your ability to transmit this energy to the place where it is needed, and to transform it into whatever mode of force may be necessary for the accomplishment of the tasks which devolve upon you. Many take in information as the sponge absorbs water. They saturate themselves to their fullest capacity, and boast of their bloated bigness; but, like the sponge, they can give back to the world only that which they received from it, unaltered in quantity or kind. They make unprofitable machines. Such knowledge cannot result in practical wisdom. Vegetable life thrives best upon the substance of the mineral kingdom, but before it can make use of these gross elements they must be assimilated to the character and function of its vegetal nature. If you would learn a language so as to have it become a practical instrument of expression, you must make it a part of your anatomy. Teeth, tongue, lips, and palate; chest, diaphragm, thorax; vocal chords, nasal passage, and Eustachian tube; muscles of the face and eye; the gesticulatory action and movements of the body - all form a part of the linguistic machinery, and must give spontaneous and pliant yieldance to its operation. When a language has thus permeated the whole system and become affiliated with the anatomical structure and functions of the body, it is made your willing servant to express, not only the ordinary wants and necessities of life, but also the profoundest thoughts of the intellect, the highest flights of fancy, and the deepest emotions of the soul. And so your knowledge must become a part of your moral and mental anatomy, if you would make it an instrument of power to uplift the world. It must not only be chewed and swallowed, but digested, assimilated, and changed into flesh, blood, muscle, and bone; and, by the mysterious process of vital action, transmitted into the finer phases of thought, sentiment, passion, and power. Your studies have brought you in touch with the fundamental problems of human life. Man sustains three primary relations to the universe. He is connected with the eternal mystery, out of which he emerged and into which he will finally be absorbed. As a lone mariner upon the dark bosom of the ocean views a feeble light which suddenly looms up and flickers for a moment upon the wavering line of vision and then fades again into the surrounding gloom; so man, a broken light of the infinite, looms up and shines for a moment only upon the field of finite existence, and is straight-way absorbed in the eternal mystery from which he sprung. Who knows whence he cometh or wither he goeth? The awful problems of Being and Destiny will ever constitute the highest themes for human contemplation. Man is related to his fellow-man. The dawn of history breaks upon a world at strife - a universal conflict of man at war with his brother. The face of the earth has been dyed in blood, and its surface whitened with human bones, in the endeavour to establish a harmonious adjustment between man and man. There can certainly be no interest more fundamental or of greater concern to the human family than the solution of the problem - how men may dwell together in peace and prosperity, under a stable social, civil, and political policy. Man is connected with the material and visible universe about him. His egotism first suggested that the universe was anthropocentric, and that all the rest of creation was intended solely to support and delight him. The development of the natural and physical sciences have taught us that man is indissolubly connected with the material and organic world, though possessed of the power to make all the rest of creation administer to his wants and well-being. It has been the mission of four great peoples to work out these several problems. The Hebrews and Greeks have solved man's relation to the eternal mystery - the one in its religious, the other in its philosophical aspect; each has come as near the perfect solution as, perhaps, it is possible for the human mind to reach. Rome has perfected society in its organic and civil relations, and has left the organic principle which must lie at the basis of all subsequent social development. It was reserved for modern Europe to develop the physical and natural sciences, and to point out their practical applications to human needs. It is hard to predict the details of the pedagogical program of the future, but we may rest assured that it must be based upon these fundamental relations, for they fathom the depths of human interests and must for all time constitute the universal trivium. You have studied these problems and these great people in vain, unless the mass of exact and refined information and the insight into human nature in its original phases of action have fructified in your own character. Character is the assemblage of qualities which stamp the individuality and give it dignity, purity, and power, and make it more efficient for service. Your studies have necessarily reacted upon the character. Judea has taught you the rational joy of piety, reverence, and devotion, and now to seek spiritual satisfaction through the Christian ritual. It is said that mankind first determined the points of the compass by the desire to build temples of worship in exact line with the path of the sun. We, too, must go back to the temple at Jerusalem for our spiritual orientation. From Greece you have learned the virtue of moderation, the value of self-culture, and the pleasure of the pursuit of truth. Rome has shown the necessity of discipline, system, order, and method; while Europe has taught you practical efficiency in adapting means to ends through the control of the forces and powers of nature. I do not mean to flatter you or to exaggerate your attainments. You have only grasped these subjects in outline. A full comprehension of them will require the study of a life-time. But knowledge derived at first hand and from original sources must have infiltrated into the pores of your nature, and trickled into the innermost crevices of your character. Herein lies the great advantage of the higher education, or rather the deeper education, the education which fathoms the depth of human experience. It is only by long study and reflection upon the fundamental principles of the things that the nature is uplifted and improved. The mere rudiments of knowledge, practical information or manual cleverness, cannot refine the nature or purify the character. They do not reach the soul, but leave the human spirit in the same sad condition in which they find it. But a system of studies embracing the whole cycle of human experiences and interests cannot but leave the nature purer, the character nobler, and the faculties stronger and better able to perform any task which may be assigned them. Keep abreast of the times. We live in an age of rapidly revolving changes. Process succeeds process in such rapid succession that we have scarcely time to test the advantage and value of the one before it is succeeded by another promising better and larger returns. The methods of the past, no matter what halo of endearment tradition may have woven about them, must give way for the more facile and fruitful method of the present day. During the latter part of the thirteenth century there flourished a great Scotchman by the name of John Duns Scotus. He added to his keen Scotch insight into things, all the subtle learning of his day and generation. Espousing one side of the existing controversy, he threw all the energy of his nature on the side of scholasticism as opposed to the classical learning. He gained great celebrity and gathered about him enthusiastic disciples who were proud to be called "Duns men," after the name of their great founder. But after the brilliant Erasmus had changed the tide of opinion in favour of more rational and liberal methods of learning, the glory of the 'duns men" became their shame. Their name, assumed as a shibboleth of proud distinction, became a by-word of ridicule and reproach; and the only relic we have left us of this once famous school of learning is the survival of the word Dunce. Thus is it, the wisdom of one age may become the folly of the next, and the philosopher of today, the fool of tomorrow. We live in an age of machinery, an age in which man performs all of his undertakings through the mediate agency of tools; all great enterprises are conducted through organization, the most perfect of all machinery. Even our politics are conducted by machines. If you would keep abreast of the times you must use the best instrument available and apply the latest approved methods to whatever tasks you undertake. If you would enter into the rivalry of life with hope of success, you must select your chosen line of work; be on the alert for the latest discovery in science, invention in art, or advancement in thought, which bears upon your vocation. Use all the instrumentalities which human skill has perfected and human wisdom approved; and keep yourselves in soldierly readiness to obey the voice of progress when she gives the command Forward! March! In his baccalaureate discourse the President urged you to preserve your self-respect. All the world respects a man who respects himself. This proposition has the force and sanction of a universal truth, for it is equally true when stated negatively - all the world despises a man who despises himself. You will find the maintenance of self-respect a most trying and difficult task. Men will revile you, despitefully use you, and ignore your just claims to recognition because of ethnological peculiarities for which you are not responsible. It becomes easy to accept the valuation which others set upon you and to conclude that you are good for nothing but to be cast out and trodden under the feet of men. You must never forget, however, that a mind conscious to itself of the intellectual and moral rectitude of its nature can always contemplate its own action with self-satisfied complacency. There is no creature so contemptible as he who insults his own soul, or who does not seek first the approval of God and his own conscience. How poor is human recognition when you and God are aware of your inward integrity of soul. Keeping clean hands and a pure heart, you can stand up before all the world and say, "Doubtless thou, O Lord, art our father, though Abraham be ignorant of us and Israel acknowledge us not." Do not go through the world with a self-deprecatory demeanour, as if you owed the rest of mankind an apology for existing. You are men created in the image of God, and any lack of appreciation of that fact is a reflection upon the original. Enter into the zest of existence. Consider "what a piece of work is man! How noble in reason, how infinite in faculty, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god - the beauty of the world, the paragon of animals." All this refers to you. Do not think of yourselves as despicable and mean in comparison with the more forward class who are in the van of civilization. The creator is greater than the creature. Man is the architect of civilization, and is, therefore, greater than the handiwork which he has made. Destroy all society, government, and existing forms of culture, obliterate every vestige of civilization, but leave a single pair of human beings upon the earth, even though they be of the lowest existing type of mankind, and in course of time they will rebuild all of the destroyed standards, and that too, only as a stage in a larger and still more glorious expansion. You are at the climax of creation and, conscious of the dignity of this distinction, let this be your song of triumph: Immense have been the preparations for me; For room to me the stars kept aside in their own rings; My embryo has never been torpid, nothing could overlay it, For it the nebulae cohered to an orb, The long, slow strata piled to rest it on, Vast vegetables gave it sustenance, Monstrous sauroids transported it in their mouths and deposited it with care - All forces have steadily been employed to complete me; Now on this spot I stand with my robust soul. This is the common heritage of humanity. The diplomas which you hold in your hands confer upon you all the rewards, rights, privileges, honours, and distinctions which are accustomed to be conferred upon the choicest youth of the human race throughout the civilized world. This honour places you among "the heirs of all the ages, in the foremost ranks of time." Remember the sentiment so often emphasized upon your attention by your dean, "Noblesse oblige." But I must caution you to discriminate finely between self-respect and self-conceit. They say that egotism and self conceit are characteristic of the African race, and especially the Afro-American of academic training. You will have to deal with a population that places a premium upon bombastic display, and a discount upon unpretentious merit. You should devote your powers to the masses, to uplift them, and not to exploit them for your vainglory and unrighteous self-aggrandizement. It is said that native African struts proudly when decorated with flaming European neckwear of the latest Parisian pattern, though he wear not a single other article of dress. Men cross the seas, and even go to college, without changing their natures. Witness those Afro-Americans who decorate themselves with the highest sounding literary and scholarly degree, making heavy demands upon the alphabet to express them, without a single other item of intellectual adornment to support this gaudy display. Reprobate all such childish infirmity. It will only make you ridiculous in the eyes of sensible men. Be natural. Be simple. "Be whatever you may, but yourself first." Do not impose cheap and shoddy standards upon the masses, but teach them to appreciate the noblest and the best. Grasp the real things of life rather than the superficial and showy. It is perfectly natural for a people who are rapidly acquiring civilization, and in whom the faculty of imitation is strong, to be captivated by the superficial aspect of things, to grasp after the frith and froth rather than the life-giving liquid upon which it floats. If a wild man from Borneo should plunge into the gayeties of the European capitals, should become initiated into the latest style of dress and form of fashionable display, he might vainly flatter himself that he had levelled the immense lift between savagery and civilization, totally oblivious of the fact that he is separated from that life whose forms he slavishly imitates, by ten centuries of solid development. It is true that other men have laboured and you have entered into their labours, but you must prove your right to this inheritance by striving to comprehend its inner spirit and meaning, and to unravel its secret and method. I have said that your education has brought you in touch with the fundamental things of life. Return ever and anon to these first principles as your standards and data of reference. In Greek mythology we learn that Antaeus, the giant, in wrestling with Hercules received new vigour whenever he touched his mother earth; but Hercules, discovering the secret of his strength, lifted him into the air and squeezed him to death in his herculean grasp. I advise you to make sure of the firmness and fixture of your foothold in the basis of solid things; for fear that you be lifted into the delusive realm of unreal allurements and be intoxicated by the frivolous demigod of this unsubstantial region. Do not waste time complaining against the existing order of society. Enter a manly protest against all forms of wrong and injustice, but do not pass your days in wailful lachrymations against the regulations of a civilization whose grandeur you have done nothing to make, and whose severities you are doing nothing to mollify. Leave that to the ignorant demagogue. Bring your knowledge of history and of human nature to bear upon the situation. I have already pointed out to you that the adjustment of man's relation to man constitutes one of the primary problems of life. Where this adjustment is complicated by diverse physical peculiarities and by different inherited or acquired characteristics, the problem becomes one of the greatest intricacy that has ever taxed human wisdom and patience for solution. Race prejudice is as much a fact as the law of gravitation, and it would be as suicidal to ignore the operation of the one as that of the other. Mournful complaint is as impotent as an infant crying against the fury of the wild wind. History has taught you that the path of moral progress has never taken a straight line, but has ever been a zig-zag course amid the conflicting forces of right and wrong, truth and error, justice and injustice, cruelty and mercy. Do not be discouraged, than, that all the wrongs of the universe are not righted at your bidding. The great humanitarian movement which has been sweeping over the civilized world from the middle of the eighteenth century to the present time, manifesting itself in political revolutions, in social and moral reforms, and in works of love and mercy, affords the amplest assurance that all worthy elements of the population will ultimately be admitted to share in the privileges and blessings of civilization according to the measure of their merit. Finally, I urge you to learn to deal with primary conditions. The visible forms of civilization are nothing more than the concrete embodiment of thought applied to things. Do not be parasites upon a generous society, eternally beseeching your neighbours to give you oil to replenish your lamps, but go rather unto them that sell and buy for yourselves. When the children of Joseph complained to Joshua that the limits of their territorial opportunity were too narrow, and that they wanted wider scope for the exercise of their powers, the grand old warrior of solstitial fame replied to them: "If thou be a great people, then get thee up to the wood country and cut down for thyselves, in the land of the Perizites and the giants, if Mount Ephraim be too narrow for thee." And so I say to you. Idle not your time in useless complaint against the narrowness of your opportunities and the misery of your lot, but rather "get thee to the wood country and cut down for thyself." Remember that a people who cannot deal with primary conditions, and who will not go to the wood country and cut down for themselves, can never contribute anything to civilization. Wherever there is soil to be cultivated, commodities to be exchanged, raw material to be refined, the hungry to be fed, the naked to be clothed, the ignorant to be enlightened, or the vicious to be restrained, there the educated man - the man whose education has resulted in practical intelligence - will find the largest field for the exercise of his powers. Again, I urge you to bring your education to bear your practical tasks. You need not fear that your knowledge will carry you beyond the needs of the situation. The perfection of workmanship and the fineness of finish of an instrument should be conditioned upon its uses and function. It is the height of folly to put a razor-edge upon a broad-axe. But your duties will embrace the whole cycle of human activities, from meeting the crudest wants of a crude people to the highest problems of the soul. In dealing with a people who exhaust their strength in working with blunt iron without sufficient knowledge to whet the edge, your wisdom will ever be profitable to direct. You are in the midst of the struggle for existence, not the mere struggle against the forces of nature and ferocity of man and beast for physical continuance, but you are struggling for the higher phases of existence which require finer qualities of fitness, and you will be put to the severest stress of mental and moral endeavour if you would Break your birth's invidious bar And breast the blows of circumstances, And grasp the skirts of happy chance And grapple with your evil star.

__label__wiki	0.506609	0.506609	The Peace that Came to Eastern Asia in Trump’s Deal with Kim June 29, 2018 Uncategorizedmtc9393 Praise the Lord and put away the ammunition. Some have told us that Trump has brought peace to Eastern Asia. Isn’t that wonderful. I suppose we are all suppose to be thankful for this. The only problem I have is that when Trump was elected what was going on in Eastern Asia is exactly what is going on today. How do you bring peace to an area where there is peace? Am I missing something? Was there a war in Eastern Asia that Trump brought to a conclusion? if my recollection is correct over the year and a half that Trump has been in the position he is now in is that there was fear that a war might occur and the peace may be shattered. That fear was caused by some of the things that Trump was doing. Wasn’t it Trump who nine months ago threatened North Korea with “fire and fury like the world has never seen.” Wasn’t it Trump that tweeted on the last day of November: “The Chinese Envoy, who just returned from North Korea, seems to have had no impact on Little Rocket Man.” To all the world it looked like Trump had gone off the deep end threatening North Korea. There was worry that a war might occur in which the South Koreans might have suffered casualties up into the millions. Fortunately, the Winter Olympics in South Korea gave an opening for negotiations with the North. The South Koreans knew they would be the ones who suffered greatly in any war between the U.S. and North Korea so they grasped at any chance to prevent that. The new intercourse between the two Koreas brought about by Trump’s threats led to the summit in Singapore between Trump and Kim Jong Un. That summit really changed little. Trump told us what a jolly good fellow Kim is. All those bad things we had heard about him were apparently fake news. Kim was smart, had a great sense of humor, a “great personality, and very smart. … I learned he’s a very talented man. I also learned that he loves his country very much.” Trump told us his people love him. He said “His people, you see the fervor. They have a great fervor.” I had to say to myself “Don’t believe your lying eyes” because the little I have seen of his people they have great fear of him and cringe in his presence as each one tries to outdo the other in clapping. On returning home from the summit Trump tweeted: “Just landed – a long trip, but everybody can now feel much safer than the day I took office. There is no longer a Nuclear Threat from North Korea.” Actually when he took office we were much safer than now. While he has been in office Kim had perfected his nukes and delivery systems. Kim has a much greater capability now than then. What changed? One thing is Trump has put Kim on a pedestal. What hasn’t changed? Kim has the same capability now as he did before the summit and he is the same guy as he was before. We are safer now, according to how Trump thinks, because he had some talks with Kim. They got along. Did Kim con him? We know Kim met twice with China’s Xi before the summit; we know that Putin’s Lazrov was sicced on him in Pyongyang. They briefed him on how to handle Trump. Obviously he did a great job because Trump swallowed what he was saying hook, line, sinker and rod. Did Kim do anything of substance? We know Trump has stopped the joint military exercises between South Korea and the United States as a showing of good faith. That had been previously asked of the U.S. by China. Putin recently demanded it. But what has Kim done that makes some think Trump brought peace to Eastern Asia? One report this week indicates: “Satellite photos, obtained by North Korea watchdog 38North, indicate Kim is making improvements to Yongbyon Nuclear Scientific Research Centre at “rapid pace”. Jenny Town, managing editor at 38North, said: “Infrastructure improvements continue at Yongbyon. “Underscores reason why an actual deal is necessary, not just a statement of lofty goals.” Upgrades to the site are thought to include new buildings, a water pump house and a potential radiochemical laboratory.” The there was this the other day. Kim had Lieutenant General Hyon Ju-song pumped full of 90 rounds fired by nine military death-row convicts . . . .” His crime was giving his troops extra food and fuel. Remember Chamberlain thought that Hitler was a gentleman and that he had achieved peace in our time. ← The Big No Surprise in Joe Crowley’s Defeat: A Most Predictable Event When Sunday Was Blue: Where Oh Where Did The Blue Laws Go? → 7 thoughts on “The Peace that Came to Eastern Asia in Trump’s Deal with Kim” Bill C. says: As it is relevant to all we post here, I hope Matt won’t mind this promo: “THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS: PROSECUTE THE PERSECUTORS WHO ABUSE FEDERAL PROSECUTORIAL POWER” = My ninth book (a booklet of 87 pages) available on Amazon July 28, 2018. Pre-order now. “Constructed less legalistically, more literarily, artistically, it’s intended for a wide audience. . .” It’s eye-opening and mind-blowing. Think of the Revolutionary War’s Federalist Papers and Revere’s ride to spread the alarm to every village and farm. HAPPY JULY 4th, Independence Day . . .fight the good fight! msfreeh says: North Korea has reportedly increased nuclear production since summit, contradicting President Trump’s claims By CHRIS SOMMERFELDT http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/ny-news-north-korea-nuclear-summit-trump-20180629-story.html Fortune Cookie journalism is devoid of all nutrition, eh? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-1yzu1Y0X0Y Mike Pompeo is not amused ! The neocon trope that everyday is 1938 in Munich and that the West faces yet another Hitler who is deceiving our leaders the way naive Chamberlain was is anti historical. Not sure of the count of these villains or that of our benighted leaders. Think is in the neighborhood of 114. Every day a new Hitler. Every day a new Chamberlain. Two problems with the rhetorical device. It is twice false. First, Neville Chamberlain was not taken in. He immediately started a build up program for the British army and air power. He clearly saw the possibility of war on the near horizon. and acted appropriately. Second, he did not cave before Hitler. The French did. Deladier had no real cards to play and refused to back the tough stance the hard-nosed Chamberlain tried to push. France was wide open. A previous government under Leon Blum had curtailed the construction of the Maginot Lina and had sent most the nation’s heavy artillery to aid the Communist side in the Spanish Civil War. He was unwilling to go to the plate without an bat. But the myth lives on and the BSers keep BSing. Singapore is not another Munich that never happened. We will all be forgotten by the time any assessment of what transpired between Trump and Kim can be ascertained. That is the way diplomacy is conducted. Now, let’s see: American prisoners returned; the remains of Korean War Soldiers returned; a promise to de-necluarize North Korea (never before uttered); a promise to allow inspections (never before uttered) and Matt says “nothing new here, folks” Kim has fooled Trump, Kelly, Pompeo, Bolton, South Korea, Japan, the world’s press . . . once again, like Trump, “he’s just like Hitler.” As the saying goes, “Time will tell . . .” Remember, Matt’s and others predictions after the election was that Trump would be deposed by May 2017 and if not America would be a Stalinistic-like tyranny . . . So, now we have new prediction: The deal with Kim will fail . . . Well, for over 60 years, since the end of the Korean War, the armistice, the cease fire, whatever you want to call it, everything else has failed with North Korea . . .by the way, under what President did they acquire those nuclear missiles? Time will tell who has fell and who’s been left behind when the Dem Libs go there way and the rest of America goes in the opposite direction . . Or as said before, by the Piano Man, “You may be right, I, (me and Trump and us ordinary Americans) may be crazy, but it just may be a lunatic (businessman, salt of the earth, salty-and-vinegar-talking New York Yankee, straight-faced everyman) that you’re looking for (you, me and the rest of America who pay no heed to the constant liberal negativism and leftist drivel.) No progress in North Korean relations?

On September 23, 2013, though, she was at Stony Brook University to speak in the Marie Colvin Distinguished Lecture Series, a program of the Marie Colvin Center for International Reporting. The center was established last year in honor of Marie Colvin, a foreign correspondent who was killed while covering the conflict in Syria in 2012 and a Long Island native. Ward spoke highly of Colvin, whose mother and brother were in the audience, both personally and professionally and recalled being intimidated, intrigued and inspired by her the first time they met in Gaza during 2006. “The silence of the void she has left behind is deafening,” Ward said. “In the wake of her death, so many friends and so many people I meet have asked me ‘why do you do this kind of work? Why do you risk your life to share stories that aren’t even your own?’” Ward, who studied comparative literature at Yale University, was a senior in college when the September 11, 2001 attacks on the U.S. occurred and said she was profoundly affected by them. The attacks helped her realize that it is important to understand what is happening in the world and that journalists can serve as translators for the public to facilitate that. Upon graduating, she took a job working at the assignment desk at Fox News on an overnight shift. She began taking Arabic lessons with a woman from Yemen when she got off of work in the morning. “She would also talk to me about Islam, about life in Yemen, about her 7 children, about her understanding of 9/11,” Ward said. “And it was so mind-blowing to me and so inspiring and really the first taste I had been given of the Middle East.” Shortly after she moved to Beirut to do freelance reporting and to gain her own understanding of the region. Since then, she has witnessed war and brutality across the world and been honored with distinctions like a Peabody Award for her work. During life threatening moments out in the field, Ward said she feels “sick with fear” and that over time her threshold for fear gets lower in conflict zones. She noted that in Syria alone there are at least 14 journalists being held in captivity and stressed that she does not do her because it makes her feel glamorous or brave. “I do it because in the U.S. right now and with the rapidly changing culture of news I sometimes worry that we’re not listening enough,” Ward said. “That we’re more interested in hearing what we want to hear than in trying to process and understand difficult realities.” Photos by Wasim Ahmad.

Twelve figures are housed in the Weltmuseum Wien (the former Museum für Völkerkunde Wien). Probably this figure concerns the worldly protector deity Pehar, one of the Five Kings. Pehar has five forms representing body, speech, mind, quality and activity – each with a different appearance. The most commonly depicted is the Activity Pehar with three faces, white and riding a lion. King Pehar has a non-Tibetan, pre-Buddhist origin, and according to the legend was converted in the 9th century by Guru Rinpoche and made to one of the most important protectors of Tibetan Buddhism. In some Tsam dances the Five Kings appear without masks (Nebesky-Wojkovitz 1976: 79). Pehar’s body is white and he wears a broad-brimmed golden hat; in his hands he holds sword and staff. Pehar is not a character in the Khüree-Tsam. (cf. Lang 2013: 73-74)	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0023.json.gz/line3375
__label__wiki	0.676305	0.676305	RUG-MAKING SUPPLIES - THE JESTER COMPANY LIMITED Jester Company limited, Leicester, was a textiles company (knitting wools, patterns, rug kits etc) founded in October 1944, they went into liquidation in 1996 and were finally dissolved in 1997. Their address was Jester House, Roman Forum, Leicester (in 1987 the registered office was at 14 West Walk, Leicester, LE1 7NA and in 1988 it was 91 All Saints Road, Leicester, LE3 5AB) The small 1953 advert for Jester "leisure made rugs"reads: "Luxurious rug making is easy with Jester home outfits.

With the unique Jester method, these complete, easy-to-use home rug making outfits cost you less and contain everything needed to make superb, thick pile rugs with a carpet finish."

Their trading address, Jester House, Roman Forum (12 Talbot Lane according to a survey from 1958), dates to the early 19th Century and adjoins No 10 (18th Century) and No 14. It's difficult to find out much about that address as it isn't a factory or shop, but a large, unremarkable house that was once used as a construction HQ when the railway was driven through that part of town (1899). Perhaps it housed the offices and mailing address for the company. It is now a listed building described as a 3-storey stucco (wall-plastered) building with ornate corbels under the cornice and a wide pilaster (fake supporting column) at each end of the frontage. It has a semi-circular fanlight over the central door. The gutter downpipe bears the date 1767 (perhaps it originally belonged to No 10 before No 12 was built). It is terraced to 10 to its left and No 14 to the right. So why did they use "Roman Forum" as their address in the 1950s? This part of Leicester, now the Parish of St Nicholas, was once the Roman Forum. In the era of 1960s concrete brutalism, the forum area was demolished to make way for a road. Jester produced its small-format rug booklet on high quality thick paper rather than magazine paper. Inside, the first two pages were illustrated in the style of a children's book and accompanied by information about the origin of rug patterns and about home rug-making. The canvas depicted in its instructions was 8-hole style with wide tramlines instead of twisted warp threads. Red threads divided this canvas into 8 x 8 - 64 hole squares. Jester patterns were a mix of Persian-inspired designs, Chinese-inspired designs and English floral designs. There was also their version of the popular "galleon" design. Many designs were available as rectangular rugs (some available in different sizes) and semi-circular rugs. Jester promoted the "Jester method" of rugmaking. It used the "Jester tuft" (known to others as the Method 2 knot). The pre-cut wool was packed in square packs. These packs stated that they contained sufficient wool to cover 3 red-lined squares (i.e. 192 strands). Other companies selling pre-cut wool had standardised on packs of 160 and/or 320 strands. Instead of working one row at a time, the Jester method suggested working one red-lined square at a time from left to right. To make this easier, the customer was instructed to paste the chart onto cardboard and to use the Jester chart-reader. The pattern-reader was a length of clear plastic, with clips at each end, and a movable red-bordered grid-marked square on it. This was looped around the board so that the grid-marked square (representing an 8 x 8 hole red-lined canvas square) could be slid along it. The whole band was then moved to the next row of squares. Oddly, this is close to the method I use - complete a square(ish) section at a time across the rug. I find it easier than working a single row at a time. Rather than latch-hooking through a double layer of canvas at each end, Jester advised the rug-maker to turn those ends underneath after working the rug. The catalogue expressed Jester's hope of expanding its rug kit operation into international markets. I can't find any evidence of this happening, perhaps because Readicut already dominated the overseas market. I don't know how widespread Jester Rugs were, how long Jester produced them or how many Jester stockists existed. The Jester Company appears to be better known from its incarnation as "Jester Wool Company." Its 1950s knitting patterns are now collectible because of their artwork. Jester knitting yarns were advertised as early as 1947, predating their rug wool operation ( 1955). Unlike most other knitting patterns of that era, the garments were drawn rather than photographed. The children’s patterns were produced as booklets with a paragraph about the child depicted in the pattern. The drawings depicted childhood in an innocent bygone age reminiscent of the original Ladybird "Peter & Jane" book illustrations. The illustrations on the adult knitting patterns were beautifully and stylishly drawn. In adverts, the Jester was accompanied by the motto "I’ve robbed the rainbow to make you Gay. Jester Wools for Gayer Garments" - at that time "gay" meant bright colours and light-heartedness. A Jester rug design. The rug uses 10-hole canvas with a red guide thread at a time when the 8-hole Turkey canvas was fairly standard. The reference to special canvas very likely means twisted warp threads instead of tramlines for both warp and weft. One of the few traces this company has online is a Patent for packages of bobbins. Patent no US 3,841,475 A1, filed: 31 August 1972 and issued 15 October 1974. This was "A package for bobbins of the type used with domestic sewing machines, comprising a backing means and a cover secured to said backing means to form a package, at least two under bobbins for domestic sewing machines disposed within said package, each of said bobbins being wound with the same type and shade of thread, each of said under bobbins being of a different type such that both bobbins are adapted to fit the majority of domestic sewing machines." The inventors was Shirley Russell Ellis. Basically this was a cardboard-backed blister pack containing generic bobbins in 2 slightly different heights, pre-wound with thread. These bobbins fitted most household sewing machines and were reusable. While The Jester Company Ltd hasn't survived, their patent was cited in several others pertaining to this type of packaging.

__label__wiki	0.616422	0.616422	FIIRO Pioneers Research into Cassava Flour The Federal Institute of Industrial Research, Oshodi Nigeria (FIIRO), in collaboration with Cassava: Adding Value for Africa (C:AVA) and the University of Agriculture, Abeokuta (UNAAB) recently organised an awareness program for bakers from all parts of Lagos State to demonstrate the use of high quality cassava flour and cassava-wheat composite flour for baking bread and other confectioneries. Director General of the institute, Dr. Oluwole Olatunji said though the research into the use of non-wheat flours for baking began in 1969, the birth of the 10 percent cassava bread was linked to the visit of former president Olusegun Obasanjo to the institute in March 2004, during an inspection of some products on display by the institute, where he was attracted to the cassava bread. He said the project was sponsored by C:AVA, an initiative of the Natural Resources Institute (NRI), England , which is sponsored by Bill and Melinda Gates. Apart from reducing the cost of producing confectioneries, he said the introduction of 10 percent cassava flour would promote cassava cultivation in the country; provide employment; improve the lives of farmers, as well as encourage small scale industries. “If there is a demand for cassava, more Nigerians will be encouraged to produce it, but unless there are uses and they can get some money for their labor, they are not going to do it. If farmers are encouraged and given incentives to produce at low cost, flour will be available at a low cost I think we should embrace this.” Olatunji assured that the flour is safe and all species of cassava could be used, “we have been in this business of cassava for over 50 years; it is safe if the right flour is bought. We have developed the technology of producing the flour and the bread, so we are ready to teach anyone who is interested in the business.” The Country Manager of C:AVA, Prof. Lateef Sanni said the country produces more than 40 million ecog of cassava yearly and the 10 percent required for baking is just about 1.5 million ecog. “So we have plenty of cassava, there is no problem about other normal traditional staples.” Sanni, a professor of Food Science and Technology at UNAB, said cassava possesses other useful properties. “If you turn it into high quality cassava flour and use it to produce confectioneries, you will come out with the same quality product at a reduced cost, it also means that you produce with locally sourced materials. Wheat flour is not from Nigeria , by using cassava, you are helping your farmer and other people that process it. When you use cassava for bread production for instance, what we are also trying to do is to create employment and also further opportunities for the use of cassava.” A food technologist and official of the Natural Resources Institute, Dr. Louise Abayomi said the institute is currently working in five African countries, including Nigeria and that its aim was to improve the livelihood of about 20,000 farmers in the country by increasing the amount of cassava that is used. “If there is no market for cassava, we cannot help farmers so we are promoting the use of 10 percent cassava flour in bread, we are also working with biscuit manufacturers.” She said the institute would be in the country for only three years and was training local service providers that would ensure the continuity of the project. Training workshops seeks to add value to cassava A week long training workshop on adding value to cassava opens today in Kibaha, Coast Region. The International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) said in a statement that the workshop would be a training session for trainers under the Unleashing the Power of Cassava in Africa (UPoCA)project. Participants will be officials from the public and private sectors and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) from the countrys main cassava growing zones. "The training on processing high quality cassava flour and product development will be hands-on and practical. The trainees will, in turn, train small-scale processing groups and farmers in their respective zones on cassava processing, packaging and storage to improved shelf life," IITA Tanzania said in the statement. UPoCA project areas in Tanzania are Dodoma Rural and Mpwapwa in the Central Zone, Tandahimba, Nachingwea and Lindi in the Southern Zone and the Eastern Zones Kisarawe and Bagamoyo districts. The USAID-funded project is currently undertaken in seven countries, namely DR Congo, Ghana, Malawi, Mozambique, Nigeria, Sierra Leone and Tanzania. The project was initiated in the context of the current food crisis and global financial meltdown that have affected the ability of poor people in sub-Saharan Africa to meet their food needs. "The UPoCA project responds to the food crisis in Africa by promoting cassava as an engine for rural economic growth and improved livelihoods with spillover benefits to urban populations. The project focuses on the cassava because of its ability to create low and steady prices for basic food products," the IITA statement says. It adds that the project aims to empower farmers and their organisations to provide an adequate supply of cassava products at affordable prices. The strategy includes developing and making available to farmers improved cassava varieties and equipping farmers and agro-processors with the knowledge and skills to reduce postharvest losses. It will also diversify cassava uses by stimulating the production of value added cassava-based food and industrial products. "A range of user friendly improved postharvest technologies developed by IITA and national partners will be disseminated for the production of starch, dried chips, high quality cassava flour and other products, thereby adding value to the crop. The processed products have a longer shelf-life." Chinese ethanol demand lifts Vietnam cassava exports Vietnam's cassava chip exports are soaring because of demand from China to make ethanol and earnings for the whole of 2009 could be $800 million, nearly double those in the first eight months, state-run Vietnam Television said. China, which needs to import up to 6.5 million tonnes of cassava chips per year for biofuel and feed production, has also been cooperating with Laos, the Philippines and Nigeria on planting cassava in those countries, VTV said on Wednesday. Vietnam's cassava exports from January to August jumped 69.5 percent from a year before to $436 million, government data shows. China buys about 90 percent of the cassava exported from its southern neighbour. Vietnam's cassava output this year could fall to 8.6 million tonnes from 9 million in 2008 as the planting area could fall 6 percent to 510,000 hectares (1.26 million acres), government reports show. Setting aside 4.4 million tonnes for domestic consumption, Vietnam still has up to 5 million tonnes of cassava available for export in 2009 thanks to a large stock carried over from last year, the broadcast said. It quoted the trade ministry as saying foreign firms' demand for cassava on e-commerce sites was stronger than that for rice. But rapid development of cassava production has raised environmental concerns because the soil used for cassava plants becomes exhausted after two or three crops and planting often triggers deforestation. The government has yet to announce any policy to curb cassava plantations. Vietnam has also been building biofuel plants using the produce as feedstock. Food: An illustration of culture Mostly ignored and overlooked as an element of culture, food is often seen merely as something to fill the belly with. But by dipping into the histories and presence of food, we can pretty much see the mixture of culture and how globalization is proceeding. In a classic Betawi song by Benyamin Sueb, titled "Ape Kabar?" (How are you?) Benyamin asks a friend living abroad how it feels to live far from home. "You must've eaten cheese every day, and forgotten the taste of terasi shrimp paste," he sings with Ida Royani. From this song, we can guess that the perceptions Benyamin and Ida shared about living in Western countries were deeply related to a totally different pattern of food consumption. Cheese, hamburger, steak, pizza and pasta to name a few, are one of the "Western" types of food, whereas, Indonesians "should be" more accustomed to rice, noodles, cassava and of course, sambal (spicy sauce). Having learned about the "West versus Indonesia" opposition since I was young, it came as a surprise to me to notice that Belgians use bawang goreng (fried onions) in their burgers. Going under the brand "Bicky Burger", these are sold by small vendors on the streets. After putting the slice of meat and cheese in between the bread, they pour the already-prepared fried onions. It gives a crispy sensation against the soft warm bread and meat. Served with French fries or snacks such as sate and lumpia, this kind of burger accompanies most frietjes or chip vendors in Belgium. Lumpia (eggroll), the snack most Indonesians believe originated in Semarang, Central Java, is sometimes also served as a side dish to accompany the fries, salad and mayonnaise, while we can always find nasi goreng (fried rice) in Chinese restaurants in Belgium. Even though lumpia and nasi goreng have a strong Chinese Hokkien influence, those are now claimed to be "real" Indonesian food. Nasi goreng, for instance, definitely has Indonesian etymology. So whose taste is whose? And what is authentic? Is bawang goreng an Asian taste ripped from its root and invaded by the mighty burgers? We have heard what burgers can do to a nation. The endless invasion of fast-food restaurants and franchised caf*'s in Indonesia is just one of them. George Ritzer (1999) calls it "McDonaldization", a homogenization of taste according to the Western tongue and standards, where every service is valued and uniformed based by the Americans. But then again, aren't we able to find rice and sambal in those fast-food restaurants? Aren't we able to choose to eat burgers from the burger man honking his horn down the street? According to an anthropologist on globalization and consumption, Richard Wilk (1999), this is what globalization is all about. It is about the encounters of culture and the mix of taste. The idea that lumpia was brought from China to Semarang centuries ago, for instance, before it continued its journey even further to the West to small cities in Belgium, is an illustration of how globalization is an inevitable continuous process that has happened ever since. These encounters create hybrid food, a mix of cultures embedded in a portion of dish. It is not only to be found in places miles from Indonesia, but is written all over the country's cuisine. Taking the vivid example of cassava and cheese, this snack is thought not to have existed before the 1980s. As proved by the song, "Singkong dan Keju" (Cassava and Cheese) by Bill and Brod, it tells the story of a man who likes cassava and a girl who likes cheese. "We wouldn't be able to be together, our tastes are poles apart," the song claimed twenty years ago. Cheese back then was the ultimate symbol of the West, whereas cassava was the symbol of traditionalism, poverty and modesty. It probably didn't occur to Bill and Brod that only a few years since that song, people were actually able to unite the two symbols of modernity and traditionalism. Nowadays, not only is cassava a food to be eaten by almost all classes in big cities - deconstructing the idea of poverty and deprivation - but cheese is a food widely consumed not only by the West. This brings us back to the first question of whose culture is whose? Using Wilk's assumption that globalization is an act marked by the encounters of culture and has existed for centuries - an act that is intensified nowadays due to the improvement of technology - it would be difficult to determine that this taste and culture is entirely mine and that is entirely yours. Like the bawang goreng inside the burger or the cheese on top of the cassava, it began once upon a time, when cultures met along the way and influenced one another. A total occupation of culture by another is thus impossible, as - let's face it -the Dutch who colonized Indonesia also took home some culture from Indonesia back to their country: sate, nasi goreng, pisang ambon or bawang goreng, to name a few tastes. Taking this into account, it would be absurd to view the newest debate over the stealing of culture between Malaysia and Indonesia. It would be difficult to claim that a culture or a taste is entirely mine and definitely not yours, or vice versa. Authenticity of a culture is thus never at stake, but on the other hand, culture - like taste - is a result of a never-ending continuous conversation. Cassava will make more toxin Friday di 9/18/2009 by art's2007 Monash researcher Dr Ros Gleadow and her research team have received international recognition for their research into cassava and climate change. Dr Gleadow's research showed that staples such as cassava become more toxic and produce much smaller yields in a world with higher carbon dioxide levels and more drought. The findings were published in the peer reviewed journal Plant Biology. Dr Gleadow's team tested cassava and sorghum under a series of climate change scenarios to study the effect on plant nutritional quality and yield. Both species belong to a group of plants that produce chemicals called cyanogenic glycosides, which break down to release poisonous cyanide gas if the leaves are crushed or chewed. The team grew cassava and sorghum at three different levels of CO2; just below today's current levels at 360 parts per million (ppm) in the atmosphere, at 550 ppm and double at 710 pm. Current levels in the air are approximately 390 ppm. "What we found was the amount of cyanide relative to the amount of protein increased," Dr Gleadow said. "At double current CO2 levels, the level of toxin was much higher while protein levels fell. The ability of people and herbivores, such as cattle, to break down the cyanide depends largely on eating sufficient protein. Anyone largely reliant on cassava for food, particularly during drought, would be especially at risk of cyanide poisoning." "While it was possible to use processing techniques to reduce the level of toxin in the cassava leaves, it was the 50 per cent or greater drop in the number of tubers that caused most concern," Dr Gleadow said. About 750 million people in Africa, Asia, and Latin America rely on flour made from cassava tubers as a staple The findings underscore the need to develop new cultivate to feed rapidly growing human populations. "Reducing carbon emissions wouldn't be a bad idea either," Dr Gleadow said. Dr Gleadow's team comprises scientists and researchers from Australia and Mozambique, including her collaborator Dr Tim Cavagnaro from Monash and Dr John Evans (ANU). Funding for the project has been provided by the Finkel Foundation, the ODVCI Strategic Initiatives Grant, and AusAID. Dr Anna Burns joined the team this week and is busy preparing for a visit to Monash (South Africa) and field sites in Mozambique Cassava Pone (sweet treat of tropics) recipe Wanderer of ages. There was a time when I dragged my car across the country, life in back pocket, convinced the next great thing lay under one of those rocks out there. My adventures took me far and wide, hemmed in only by this country’s borders and the limits of my own imagination. At the ripe old age of twenty-two, I ended up in Berkeley, CA, home of everything both weird and ridiculously normal at the same time. Buddhism, yoga, homeless people having acid flashbacks in the now-decrepit and dangerous People’s Park, the crown jewels of San Francisco Bay Area wealth glittering with haunting illusion high in the Berkeley hills. The Ashby Flea Market, a hodge-podge of booths with knick-knacks for sale, set up every weekend at the local BART (or subway) station. I looked forward to Sundays, when I’d get off work from my collectivist restaurant job in time to enjoy a delicious cassava pone sweet treat in the just setting sun. Mostly known as “Cuban potato” in the States, cassava is often found in Latin dishes served fried or boiled as a starchy side-dish called “yucca.” Its remarkable ability to double as a luscious dessert is showcased in this “pone” or sweetbread.Served at a Jamaican-themed booth in South Berkeley, I vowed to recreate these tasty treats when I returned to the East Coast. We ll worth the effort, cassava, or yucca, sweetbread always scores me “brownie” points at potlucks or get together with friends. Recipe Cassava Pone (aka Island-style Sweet bread) 2 cups peeled, shredded cassava (yucca, manioc) 1 cup coconut, shredded 1 1/4 cups sugar (or evaporated cane juice, if available) 1 teaspoon cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice 5 tablespoons vegetable oil (canola or other neutral oil) 1 cup coconut, rice, cow, or soy milk 1/4 cup filtered water 1/4 cup raisins (optional) Peel and shred the cassava Sometimes yucca can be found frozen, already peeled. This makes things a loteasier. Be careful not to cut yourself if you do decide to peel it, as it has a very tough skin. Also, remember that yucca is POISONOUS if it is not cooked all the way through. Literally. DO NOT UNDERCOOK! You can shred it by hand with a box grater, or in a food processor with the shredder blade (easiest way). Mix all ingredients together well in a large bowl. Place mixture in a well-oiled 8 x 13 baking pan, I prefer using glass, pyrex, or enamel baking dish for this recipe. Bake at 350 degrees in the oven for 1 1/2 hours. Once it starts getting crispy golden colored on top and edges, it is almost done. Check at one hour. All ovens cook differently, so watch for the color change to gauge done-ness. Remove from oven and allow to cool for 30 minutes before slicing into brownie-sized wedges. Label: News Cassava, Recipe 0 Comment Cassava production set to drop Cassava production is forecast to drop 7.74 per cent to 27.75 million tonnes next year, due to farmers turning more to fuel crops that bring higher prices, especially sugar cane. Cassava was planted on 8.29 million rai of land last year, but that is expected to decrease 6.15 per cent to 7.78 million rai. Of total cassava production, only 2.5 million tonnes will be used to produce ethanol, while the rest will go towards the manufacture of tapioca chips for export and as a pet-food ingredient for the local market. Many factors have hurt production, including insects, lower rainfall, reduced yield per rai and a flow of cassava from neighbouring countries under the Asean Free Trade Area. "The drop in production will halt the industry's growth, because there will not be enough raw material for the manufacture of tapioca flour," said Thai Tapioca Trade Association (TTTA) president Seree Denworalak. As a result, the tapioca-products industry, including flour, starch and chips, will see flat export growth or only a slight drop next year. For instance, the association predicts this year's export of 2.14 million tonnes of tapioca flour will decline to 2 million tonnes next year. Domestic consumption of the product is forecast at 1 million tonnes next year, same as this year. Seree said the yield per rai for cassava is also forecast to drop 1.68 per cent to 3.56 tonne per rai. The farm price for cassava is quoted at Bt1.60 to Bt1.80 per kilogram. "The government's guaranteed price is suitable for supporting industry growth and farmers," he said, adding that at that price, exporters could maintain their export competitiveness. Moreover, cassava growers spend Bt1.28 to produce a kilogram, down from Bt1.46 in the previous harvest season. The drop in the production cost has been in line with a lower oil price. The TTTA has called for the government to control plant diseases and educate farmers about good strain selection. Seree said the cassava price could reach Bt2 a kilogram late in the harvest season if the widespread problem of insects was not solved. Africa 100 project cash to support new Cassava project The NFU and FARM-Africa have chosen a fledging project to receive cash from the Africa 100 Appeal. With funds reaching almost £200,000 one final push is being sought from the agriculture industry before a cheque is handed over to the charity in October. Launched in the wake of droughts and the resulting poor availability of food in Kenya, the Cassava Project, operated by established charity FARM-Africa, aims to increase productivity on subsistence farms across the country and put an end to food insecurity for thousands of families. The year-long fund raising appeal, launched as part of the NFU's centenary celebrations, has seen charity bikes rides, golf days, generous donations from industry supporters, and the livestock sector in particular, raising a phenomenal amount of cash. This effort is more poignant given the current economic situation and the uphill battle faced by appeal co-ordinator, and head of NFU Communications Sarah Whitelock, as she explains: "We started the appeal in July 2008 when many farmers were enduring the expense of a long, wet summer, which has been closely followed by a global, economic down-turn and the resulting recession. However, the farming industry has pulled out all the stops to support Africa 100 and we are extremely grateful." Cassava has a short shelf life so the project will also fund two new factories to turn the vegetable into dried chips and flour. This will increase the flexibility of the crop giving it a new market in local food industries and potential as an animal feed - a real boost for livestock farmers. Ms Whitelock said: "Cassava is an important staple vegetable in both Uganda and Kenya as it has the potential to generate food security within a very short time. It grows well in marginal areas which means it can be cultivated where droughts are frequent and famine is a recurring menace. "There were problems in the late 1980s and early 90s with disease which spread and devastated cassava crops in large parts of East Africa. Now, thanks to the vital work of FARM-Africa, a new disease-resistant variety has been introduced. This, and the addition of new, basic farming methods, has seen yields increase there from three to 15 tonnes per hectare. This has seen a reversal in the fortunes of farmers struggling to produce enough food to feed their families. Not only are they now self-sufficient but they also have enough produce left over to sell at the local market. "I visited Kenya last year to see for myself how FARM-Africa helps these farmers and their families. Besides the impressive economic improvements, these projects also increase social cohesiveness. Household incomes are being used to improve housing and pay for school fees, as well as being invested in a range of other income-generating enterprises to benefit the whole community. "Having witnessed the tremendous way FARM-Africa supports farmers and transforms their lives I am convinced that the Africa 100 Appeal has been a thoroughly worthwhile cause. It will make a significant difference to the lives of thousands of East African farmers and their families and is a tribute to the generosity of all the donors who have supported us over the past 12 months."

Photo: Langelle/GJEP Occupy Monsanto in St. Louis: Action 1 “Stop Talking or You Will Be Removed from the Hotel” by Don Fitz On September 17 we were gathering to walk into the Millennium Hotel for the second day of “GMO Free Midwest,” the St. Louis portion of Occupy Monsanto. Daniel (digger) Romano told us that we had been moved from the “Lewis and Clark” room to the “Laclede” room on the other side of the floor. As we entered the new room, it struck me that it was half the size of the one we had paid for. Conference coordinator Barbara Chicherio went to find the supervisor in charge. She walked down the hall to a roped off area guarded heavily by hotel security. On the other side of the rope were attendees of the industry-backed “International Symposium on Biosafety of Genetically Modified Organisms.” [GMOs] It appeared that the Millennium Hotel was as interested in making sure that we did not contaminate its audience as we were interested in preventing GMOs from contaminating the environment. “Sir, are you in charge here?” Barbara asked. “Uptight” can barely describe the Millennium supervisor who starred back at her, stiff as a board. “I need to talk to you,” she continued. “Why were we moved from the room we rented?” “And why were we moved to the far end of the hall? And why were we put in a room half the size of what we paid for?” Still, no answer. “Could you tell me why there is a pot of coffee when I told staff that we could not pay $175 for it? And when can we get the table to go up in front of the room for the book signing that I explained we were having?” “Did you read your contract?” finally came the response from the cardboard supervisor. “Read the BOE part of your contract.” “What does that have to do with our being moved to a smaller room?” “If you don’t stop talking to me, I will have you removed from the hotel,” was the most thoughtful answer he seemed able to come up with. Looking at his name tag, Barbara saw that he was “Rich Martin, Director of Catering and Convention Services.” As the conversation was unfolding, Orin Langelle with the Global Justice Ecology Project (GJEP) pulled out his camera to film the interaction. Rich put up his hand, growling “No photos! You get away from me or I’ll have you removed from the hotel.” Nearby Orin was Anne Petermann, also with GJEP. She slid her camera away as she quietly caught Rich on film. Rich Martin threatens to throw out organizers and journalists from the GMO Free Midwest. Photo: Petermann/ GJEP Months before, Brian Tokar had told Barbara that a major pro-GMO symposium would be happening in Monsanto’s home town of St. Louis during September 16–20. Occupy Monsanto activists thought it might be interesting to have an event critical of GMOs at the same time and place. Barbara went to work booking a room. In May 2003, the need for early booking was driven home. Alerted to a major biotech industry event by Jim Scheff, the Green Party of St. Louis planned Biodevastation 7 to occur at the same time. Groups planning for street theatre hoped to reserve the park near the industry event. Unfortunately, they waited until 2–3 months before the event to ask the City of St. Louis for the park. By then, the City had been informed by the police of plans for protests and refused to rent it. In St. Louis, virtually every large institution has received major funding from Monsanto. There is a history of people reserving hotel or college space for events critical of Monsanto having to confront the problem of rent zooming up or other pressure to leave the location. With a contract signed months in advance of the event, we went to the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) to ask about our legal options if history were to repeat itself. One of the many pieces of useful information the NLG gave us was that the hotel would have the right to prevent us from entering if we were wearing T shirts with slogans they did not like. So, we covered our T-shirts with jackets before entering and took jackets off once inside. (Though the hotel could have told us we could not wear them, it is hard to treat people as a group when they are milling around.) Madeline Buthod and her two children protest Monsanto and GMOs outside of the Millennium Hotel. Photo: Langelle/GJEP This second day of GMO Free Midwest was to begin with our last panel before having multiple actions. The first day had included discussions of Genetically Engineered Trees, Health Effects of GMO Foods, Round Up as the New Agent Orange, Bee Colony Collapse, Dangers of Industrial Agriculture and GMOs as a Weapon of Global Domination. Just as we were about to begin the final panel, a woman came in wearing a name tag of the Biosafety Symposium. We wondered if she wandered into our room by mistake. She introduced herself as Dr. Irina Ermakova and said she was more interested in what we were doing than in that conference. Irina Ermakova, a leading scientist at the Russian Academy of Scientists, speaks to GMO Free Midwest. Photo: Petermann/GJEP She was recognized as the author of some of the most important papers documenting dangers of GMOs. Dr. Ermakova is a Russian scientist who replicated work of Dr. Arpad Puztai. Dr. Puztai gained notoriety in 1998 when after reporting his research finding damage to the gut of rats fed GMOs. He had been a supporter of GMOs prior to his research but announced that he would never eat them after what he discovered. His employer, the famed Rowett Institute, then suspended him. Later, it came to light that Monsanto had given Rowett Research Services a grant of $224,000. Dr. Ermakova found that offspring of female rats who had been fed GMO soy had a death rate of 50% within three weeks of birth. The death rate of infant rats whose mothers had eaten non-GMO soy was 10%. Offspring of GMO-fed rats were smaller and unable to reproduce when they reached adulthood. After reporting her findings, Ermakova experienced frequent verbal abuse from biotech enthusiasts and discovered charred remnants of papers placed in her office. She felt much more welcome at GMO-Free Midwest than at industry’s “Biosafety” event. Orin Langelle and I delayed our panel on “Green Economics: Reality vs. Fantasy” so that Dr. Ermakova could review her research and concerns with GMO food. The final panel of the conference built on information which had been covered the previous day to explain how GMOs are part of an overall thrust by neoliberalism to control the world economy. Orin spoke of the tragedy of Monsanto workers dying from chemical poisoning in addition to the contamination of entire communities. He detailed how false solutions for climate change such as the Green Economy and Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) only serve to make corporations richer. I pointed out that, during the twentieth century, the food industry faced the problem of how it could continue to grow once it became possible to feed the entire global population. Agribusiness continued to grow by inventing needs for pesticides, herbicides, processing, packaging, storing, advertising, and genetic modification, none of which increased the nutrition of food. The food industry is typical of other areas of production, which have grown not by improving people lives, but by developing wasteful and destructive processes and products. With the discussion portion of GMO Free Monsanto over, everyone left the room, with many wearing T-shirts calling for the labeling of GMO food or noting its dangers. As several St. Louis cops began moving toward our room, we briskly walked outside. Mutant corn is turned away from participating in the 12th International Symposium on Biosafety of Genetically Modified Organisms. Photo: Langelle/GJEP Across the street, our picket signs were joined by large puppets of mutant GMO corn and pesticide resistant larva. A banner was soon hung from the fourth floor of a neighboring parking building which read “THE WORLD DOESN’T WANT YOUR GMOs” Banner hung across the street from the GMO industry conference Photo: Sandy Griffin A few minutes later, the picket line was joined by our most honored guest, Dr. Irina Ermakova. We happened to have a “Burma Shave”-type sign series which read “WHY IS — MONSANTO — PUSHING — FOOD THAT — RATS — WON’T EAT?” Dr. Ermakova posed in the center for a photo that ran in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch the next day.

What you see is a typical 19th century Teifi Valley farmhouse but if you look carefully inside, you will discover bits of something much older; the remains of an early timber framed “clom” (cob) thatched longhouse. The house lies within a few yards of the River Teifi, famous for its game fishing and now a Special Area of Conservation recognising its international importance for conserving biodiversity. Dolau Canol, surrounded by pastoral farmland, is set in the heart of an historic rural estate that has remained in the same family for over three hundred years. The old farmyard, bounded by the house and stone barns, is now a lawn with its pond in one corner. (It isn’t very deep but do take care if you are bringing small children.) Inside, the farmhouse you will find plenty of traditional Welsh textiles on the walls and beds. If you want to see a truly astonishing array of early Welsh Quilts and Blankets, and antiques for sale you should visit Jen’s Welsh Quilts and Blankets Shop in the little 18th century cottage at Pont-brendu. The farmhouse can sleep up to 6 people: 2 Single bedrooms (1on the ground floor) Ground floor accommodation Entrance passage Sitting room with flat-screen television and DVD player Kitchen with electric cooker, double sink, larder fridge and dishwasher Utility room with washing machine and clothes dryer Extra fridge/freezer in utility room Shower room with basin and WC First floor accommodation Landing with sitting area Bathroom with bath, basin and WC Communications and Entertainment TV (Sky box) Outdoor games – badminton, croquet, quoits Up to two well-behaved dogs are welcome (small surcharge applies).

These fine quilts were produced in Wales from 1921 to 1939 during a time of hardship in the socially and economically depressed areas of South and West Wales Quilts were made to order and sold in the luxury markets of London, Cardiff and other large cities. This was a post-war government initiative and the Rural Industries Bureau was set up to keep traditional skills alive and to provide employment. The quilters involved were carefully chosen by Mavis Fitz Randolph, a craft adviser appointed by the RIB in 1928. She would travel around South Wales looking for skilful quilters by asking around the villages, even checking quilts on washing lines for clues! Quilters were chosen, classes were set up and teachers appointed. These women were now part of a scheme whose aim was to provide work in South Wales. The areas chosen included Aberdare, Abertridwr, Merthyr Tydfil and the Rhondda. Prestigious orders during the 1930s came from the Royal Family, aristocracy, and distinguished hotels. Most importantly, Claridges Hotel in Mayfair, London commissioned quilts for their new Art Deco wing and when it opened in 1932 there were Welsh Quilts on every bed. The opulent fabrics used in the quilt-making process came from mainly Liberty and included silks, satin, taffeta and velvet, and each quilt was filled with Welsh lambs-wool. Jen Jones is the proud owner of a ‘Claridges’ Quilt, which will be exhibited along with many more marvellous Welsh Quilts from this era in the main courtroom gallery. As ‘Good As It Gets’ a highly original exhibition designed by Gwenllian Ashley opens on the 10th of March and will run until the 4th of November at The Welsh Quilt Centre, Lampeter. http://www.welshquilts.com Where to find Dolau Canol	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0023.json.gz/line3398

Approximately 28 years ago a group of parents got together, while their young children were involved in programs, at what has now become the Starbright Children’s Development Centre (formerly Central Okanagan Child Development Association) These families knew that together they could advocate more effectively for their children; they could support one another, in at times, the difficult journey but they were also there to celebrate the goodness in their life. Families would experience hardships in their child’s development or health; they would need a shoulder to lean on or sometimes that familiar face was just enough to encourage them. As parents of differently gifted children, we also knew what it’s like when our child had a great success,even though many other families would miss this minute step forward, we were able to rejoice and celebrate in how grand it really was for our child. Families, in this group, knew what an accomplishment it was. When PLAN Okanagan formed in 2002, many of these families who had been journeying together, building deep friendships, learning from each other, supporting each other, formed the back bone of PLAN Okanagan. Not only did they participate as board members, started Lifetime Member Networks for their children, participate in and/or host workshops, they chose to bring their Families to Families Network into PLAN Okanagan as an added resource to families. The Families to Families Network meets at 7 P.M. the last Thursday of each month (excluding August and December) at 1650 Bernard Avenue in the Provision Resources Day Program House. (The entrance is found just to the left of the garage door and up the long ramp.) All families are welcome to participate. It is a relaxed and informal gathering with a variety of topics discussed. The wealth of information and experiences in this group is hard to match. There are no fees, there is no obligation to become a member, there is only an openness to join other parents and family members and “just be”. Parking is limited and we request that you park on Elm Street East and Braemar Street. You can take the walkway at the end of the cul-de-sac to the Provision Resources House.

__label__cc	0.565675	0.434325	In The Constitution Order Our Products Feminists Get Obama to Sue Pennsylvania The following message by Phyllis Schlafly of Eagle Forum indicates the absurdity we have reached as a nation in our attempts to avoid "discrimination". You may want to either laugh or cry over this article. Be my guest for either! A slightly lower pass rate for women on a physical fitness test has prompted the Obama administration to sue the Pennsylvania State Police. This lawsuit is obviously demanded by the feminists, since their ideology is that, if women cannot do as well as men on a fitness test for a job, that must be caused by discrimination and use of the test must stop. The Pennsylvania police fitness test resulted in 94 percent of the men passing and 71 percent of females passing. The feminists want Pennsylvania to ignore the fact that the job of a state trooper can require real physical strength and endurance beyond the capabilities of many women and difficult and dangerous physical challenges, such as having to pull a victim out of a car that is on fire. Last year, a Pennsylvania state trooper helped catch a suspect escaping in a tractor trailer by hanging onto the truck cabin's grab bar with one hand while it continued to drive down the highway. The suspect then crashed the truck and had to be pursued on foot as he fled into the woods, and it's obvious that a man's physical skills were very useful. Feminists cannot admit that men might be more suitable for certain jobs than some women, and vice-versa with respect to jobs more suitable for women. The fact that a few more men passed the Pennsylvania police fitness test than women did is simply unacceptable to feminist ideology. The big majority of applicants -- both men and women -- were able to prove adequate fitness, but the Obama Administration sued Pennsylvania for not passing women at the same rate as men. The lawsuit misuses Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which was never meant to impose employment quotas, to demand that Pennsylvania fork over back pay with interest to women who did not pass the fitness test, and this lawsuit also insists that Pennsylvania stop using these tests in the future. Pennsylvania police commissioner Frank Noonan responded forcefully by saying, "We will not be bullied into changing or lowering our standards by the Department of Justice or anyone else." He also noted that reducing the fitness standards would insult the many women and men who passed the test and now work on the police force. One woman who recently passed the fitness test observed that "it's totally insulting that anybody is claiming that it's too hard for women." She felt that the "the standards are set very low" and she feels "they should be higher." Commissioner Noonan pointed out that the public would also be harmed by relaxing or eliminating the fitness test. Moreover, a woman who is placed on the job as a state trooper despite being unfit may be putting her own life at risk, if a suspect overpowered her due to her lack of strength or quickness. More than 4,600 workers are in the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP) today after many of them presumably passed this fitness test. But the Obama lawsuit is demanding that the test must no longer be used because there might have been 45 additional women on the workforce if this test had not been implemented. If 94% of men can pass the physical fitness test to be a state trooper, I would say the test is too easy. Suppose you needed the help of the state police: would you want your distress call to be answered by a man who was only as fit as 94% of his fellow men? Surely the state police should be more selective than that, but the PSP apparently decided to make its test even easier. Since 2009, an incredible 98% of men passed the test each year -- but the women's pass rate edged up only from 71% to 72%, making the male-female gap slightly wider than before. Therein lies the paradox of diversity: making the test easier does not reduce the gap between groups. No one has yet devised a physical fitness test on which women as a group perform as well -- or even 80% as well -- as men. The only way to eliminate that gap is to eliminate testing altogether. The administration official who initiated this lawsuit accusing Pennsylvania of discrimination, Jocelyn Samuels, has the title of "Acting" Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, which means she wields the awesome power of that office without having been confirmed by the Senate. An unconfirmed, perhaps unconfirmable, bureaucrat should not be allowed to disrupt such an important state agency, based on such a flimsy pretext and outrageous theory, but that's where we are in the waning days of the Obama administration. Pamela's new Ebook, "Promises of the Constitution:" http://www.amazon.com/Promises-Constitution-Yesterday-Today-Tomorrow-ebook/dp/B00LEWCS4E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1407776265&sr=8-1&keywords=ebook+promises+of+the+constitution Labels: Eagle Forum, Feminists, Obama sues Pennsyvania, Pamela Romney Openshaw, Phyllis Schlafly, Promises of the Constitution Our Broken Immigration System is a Travesty Marguerite has lived the immigration process and her story spotlights the travesty taking place on our southern border. Marguerite married Robert, her American sweetheart, in her native Canada. When their son was 5 months old, they left Canada for Robert’s new job in Idaho. Leaving behind her five children from a previous marriage, Marguerite and Robert tried to cross into the U.S. at Montana’s Sweetgrass crossing. Robert and the baby were allowed entry, but Marguerite was not; she was not a U.S. citizen. She and her nursing baby returned to Canada while Robert pressed on to Idaho and contacted the regional director of Homeland Security, who granted Marguerite a humanitarian parole. She was allowed to enter the U.S. for 12 months, providing she start the immigration process immediately and agree to not get a job, go to school or accept any social services. She was told that if, for any reason, she left the U.S. during the application process she would forfeit her previous efforts toward citizenship and start the process over again. Two frustrating years followed during which Marguerite spent more than $2,000 in application fees attached to endless forms and documents that were mailed to California, New Hampshire and Missouri. The New Hampshire office insisted on original copies of her personal documents but refused to return them. They wanted her passport, as well. It had expired and she could not apply for a new one without the documents they held. With the intervention of a compassionate immigration officer, her documents were finally returned. Despite a current TB test and robust health, she was required to take two more TB tests before officials would process her paperwork. Marguerite finally obtained legal status after two years and citizenship two and half years after that. She had gone years without seeing her children in Canada. After the web of wasted time and money and the bureaucracy she had endured, she learned that her initial humanitarian parole could have given her citizenship in six months. No one had told her. As she waited, she watched illegals working in local businesses in her community; she knew their illegal status through a neighbor who helped some of them apply for legal residence. One particular incident frames Marguerite’s memory. She and Robert visited their local bank where Marguerite’s bank transaction was refused because she lacked citizenship. A line of individuals they knew were illegal moved unimpeded to process their transactions at another teller’s window. In his frustration, Robert asked why they could bank and his wife could not. He was told they had received special work numbers because they were from the southern border; Marguerite had come from the north. Despite the inequities and injustice, Marguerite loves the United States and has made the deliberate decision to adopt its laws and customs and show her respect through loyalty. She says she will continue to be an exemplary, upstanding citizen of the United States. The contrast provided in Marguerite’s story illuminates the madness taking place on our southern borders, where illegal entry has become the norm. Border agents express deep frustration at their inability to control the illegal flood crossing our southern border. Once in the country, illegals get jobs, go to school, and receive free medical care and social services. According to the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, they also fleece billions in child tax credits with the Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers our government issues them. They pass through the border with little resistance, though few willingly go south. Little attempt is made to restrict those who bring in diseases that could become epidemic in the U.S. Border agents report that criminals, violent gang members and terrorists from countries around the world are crossing our southern border into the country, as well. The flood of illegals is gradually filtering north from the border. It will eventually reach Utah. Illegals with no vested membership in the nation voted in droves in the last election, mainly for the political party that has condoned their illegal status. Eric Holder, our chief law enforcement officer, sues states such as Texas and Ohio that enforce their laws to check voter IDs, which defies rational explanation. Neither major political party appears capable of any action other than to accelerate this process to buy votes in the next election. The United States is being invaded on our southern border and the federal government is unmoved by the assault. This is insanity. It is rogue federalism: unequal and unfair enforcement with disregard for the rule of law by our nation’s own officials. Can our republic survive this invasion? Where and when will it stop? When enough of us wake up to what is happening and act; when states unite to demand that the federal government abide by its own laws. Any delay multiplies the crisis. It’s time. Let’s roll. Labels: Illegal Immigration, Immigration System, Pamela Romney Openshaw, Promises of the Constitution Theory of Climate Change a Scare Tactic with Ulterior Motives Hans Christian Anderson’s fable of the Emperor’s New Clothes has a modern application. You will remember that charlatans convinced the king that their nothings were really fine apparel. As the king paraded the boulevard before his subjects, only one little boy had the temerity to ask, “Mommy, why is the emperor nude?” Enter climate change, the new name for global-cooling-become-global warming-become-we’re all-going-to-die political agenda that aims to restrict our property use. The problem: It’s all theory. Listen to experts on the deception: Former Canadian Minister of the Environment, Christine Stewart, said, “No matter if the science of global warming is all phony ... climate change provides the greatest opportunity to bring about justice and equality in the world.” (Note: That would be her definition of justice and equality — the redistribution of wealth.) Green Peace Co-founder Paul Watson says, "It doesn’t matter what is true, it only matters what people believe is true.” Nobody can prove that the planet is disintegrating, that man’s use of fossil fuels is the reason, or that taking away your SUV will save it. Proof would require gold standard scientific research of massive proportions done over centuries, and solid results would also be centuries away — an impossibility. Today’s facts and figures are conjecture; guesstimates based on short-term events. For evidence, turn to the oldest history book in existence: The Bible. Christians and non-Christians alike recognize it as the major, sometimes only, source of information about ancient civilizations. Werner Keller’s 1955 "The Bible as History" correlates Bible data with archaeological evidence to confirm the Bible’s authenticity. Reject the religious doctrine if you insist, but the historical record is sound. Consider one calamity in the Bible: famines. Just twelve chapters in, famine strikes Abraham’s family, then son Isaac suffers famine and still later great-grandson Joseph presides over a seven-year famine in Egypt. Famine brought want during the lifetimes of Ruth and Naomi, King David, the prophet Elijah, and Jeremiah, who faced it more than once. Climate chaos that kills the food supply is serious, and the climate conditions that produce it appear natural for the planet. If modern fossil fuels, corporate greed and First World selfishness are producing climate change to doom earth, how do we explain the famines, pestilence and floods — remember Noah — that have occurred since the planet accepted population? Nowhere in Genesis does Abraham’s family drive gas-guzzling SUVs into Hebron (though they may have dealt with methane-producing camel flatulence). Bricks made by the Israelites didn’t come from pollution-belching factories, and the writer of Exodus never alludes to the 3,000,000 refugees, who wandered for 40 years in the desert, upsetting the desert’s carbon footprint. Yet ancient peoples all had climate chaos. Why buy into whimsical climate change? Science loves a good theory, and this is a dilly. Everybody’s doing it; say it often enough and most everyone buys in. There’s big money and government control in the issue.It doesn’t stack up, however, for anyone that reads history or scripture. David M. Barker, in his well-documented Science and Religion: Reconciling the Conflicts reveals that at the root of every Bible-conflicting piece of science lies an unproven, unprovable theory. Assumptions are that earth has always followed the slow, gradual process we observe today. That’s one serious, improbable assumption, yet without it every theory falls apart. Add climate change to the list; it is unproven theory. We should protect the environment. Order and cleanliness are traits of intelligent, responsible people who don’t dump chemicals in the water, spew them into the air or bury them in the soil. Laws from elected representatives at the state, county and community level — the people on site — are best. Laws should require corporations and citizens to clean up after themselves and should be uniformly and fairly enforced. The environment is not among the 26 constitutional powers granted to the federal government, and is, therefore, not a federal matter. The Environmental Protection Agency is illegitimate; it has proven unfair in its enforcement, and is socialistic by nature. Its regulations demand uniformity when each situation requires a custom fit. Federal enforcement is generally less effective, less efficient, more expensive and mandatory, which prevents communities from doing their own, better quality work. Our goals for cleanliness, however, should not begin with the belief that those in Third World countries starve because Americans own five bedroom homes. The little boy who asked “Mommy, why is the Emperor nude?” might well ask: “Why do we believe in climate change?” As a final thought, for those searching reasons for climate calamities worldwide, the Bible offers two options. First, nothing: It gives no reason, inferring that these things are natural for the planet. Second, the Bible tells us calamities come because of God’s punishment for wrongdoing. Take your pick. Labels: Climate Change, Pamela Romney Openshaw, Promises of the Constitution, The Emperor's New Clothes Bibles For Congress Recently Representative Stephen Palazzo, Louisiana, gave every member of Congress a Bible. Concerned about the lack of morality and ethics in Congress, which could account for the current dismal approval ratings of Congress—only 12% strongly approve while 30% strongly disapprove—he took matters into his own hands. His accompanying letter stated that “the best advice comes through meditating on God’s word” and he offered the Bible to “help guide you in your decision-making”. The Gutenberg Bible, first printed book. Bravo, congressman! I’ll bet the secular humanist progressives, who don’t believe in God, or believe in a comfortable God who requires nothing, loved it! Yeah, right! It took his staff several days to deliver the Bibles, donated by his constituent, retired Biloxi businessman J.B. Atchison, who thought they could “read God’s word and abide by His commandments”. As you could expect, there’s been a storm of dissent “Oh no, we can’t do that—we believe in separation of church and state!” More truthfully stated, they believe in no church in state. Humanists force the two—the source of morality and laws that require morality—into isolation. An example: in Colorado in 2005, the death sentence given Robert Harlan for his murder of a cocktail waitress was thrown out after it became known that jurors consulted the Bible to reach a verdict. Three of the five justices said the Bible was an improper outside influence and a reliance on what the court called a "higher authority”. We should all be so lucky—jurors who consult the Bible for help! And incidentally, you know there is no such thing as separation of church and state—that’s an invention of the left after lifting a phrase from Thomas Jefferson’s letter in 1803 to Baptists in Connecticut.. The Constitution says the federal government has no say in anything to do with religion, pro or con. We can have all the religion we want, so long as we do not require a state-sponsored religion. Last Sunday I sat next to an elderly Tongan sister in my congregation’s adult Sunday School class. After the lesson, she leaned close and related that she had sent the scriptures to President Obama, along with a personal letter. She has come to love American history since leaving her native Tonga, and is sure the president just doesn’t understand how much God loves America. She thinks he will read, believe and perhaps join our congregation after his presidency. She hopes he might even become a missionary. I laughed—a lot! As we sat side by side ten minutes later, still chuckling together, though for different reasons I’m sure, I felt gladness that she could so innocently believe. I couldn’t join her childlike belief, however! The communications director for Americans United for Separation of Church and State, Rob Boston, predictably stated the group’s position about the bibles for Congress: “While it (the Bible) may provide spiritual solace for a lot of people, it was never intended to be a governance document.” How little he knows! The Bible contains the Law of Moses—God’s civil law. The Founders loved the Bible and it was a major source of input for the Constitution. The concept of three branches of government comes partly from Isaiah 33:22: “The Lord is our judge; the Lord is our lawgiver, the Lord is our King: He will save us.” When the first American English language Bible was printed in America in 1792, Congress recommended it to the inhabitants of the United States. I long for the word of God to be important in our country again! Meanwhile, I live by the words in the scriptures. They bring me peace.

While technology explodes, standards tremble, morals fail and families fall apart, some things remain constant to give us stability. As a teenager, none of the kids I grouped with had abortions, were homosexuals or lived with their boyfriends, and I really doubt they were sleeping together. There were surely some in our high school who did, but it wasn’t normal or obvious. Good morals were expected. Even the generation gap hadn’t yet arrived. Things changed for my youngest brothers. When I had several small children I first heard about drug abuse from my mom, who told me one of my brother’s friends was involved. I remember asking, “What are drugs?” It’s been downhill from there. One of my friends now has a son who has decided he’s a girl and his “boyfriend” is a girl who has decided she’s a boy. Her parents—make that ”his” parents—think its great. Talk about confusion…. It’s been unsettling to see churches change their standards. Abortion, chosen childlessness, homosexuality, abstinence—they have become relative in many congregations. I’ve been proud of my church in this morally deficient world. I’m an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints; the Mormons. We’ve been in the news lately because of Kate Kelly, who has demanded the church allow women to hold the priesthood and has been subsequently excommunicated. The Brethren, those who direct the church under inspiration from God, say no to demands to change the priesthood. They say God sets the standard and they have no authority to alter it. I’m glad. Some say Mormons discriminate against women, but in a lifetime of activity I haven’t seen it. I see differences, not discrimination. If different discriminates, don’t blame us in the church. God gave two great privileges to His children: to men He gave the right to hold the priesthood—the authority to act for Him, and to women He gave the ability to create physical bodies. The two assignments work in tandem to strengthen families and create moral individuals to populate a moral world. Of the two assignments, I’ll take creating an original, living, breathing human body any time. In fact, I’m a little bewildered at why the malcontents don’t focus on what men can’t do, rather than what women can’t hold. Plenty of religions are changing their doctrine because of social pressure. We don’t. We change meeting schedules and missionary ages, but not doctrine. Our doctrine comes from God, and the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles teach and enforce it. Kate Kelly can rail all she wants, but God is not known to back down before the demands of a self-centered woman. If she believes the doctrine, why is she challenging it? If she doesn’t, why does excommunication matter? If, however, her goal is simply to rabble-rouse, let the media give her 15 minutes in the spotlight. Kelly relates that the excommunication has hurt her family. Why, then, has she done this? Why tell God how to operate His church rather than following the path of discipleship? The hurt comes from her, not to her. Whatever. I’m grateful that our doctrine is steady in the face of society’s self-centered gales. The Word of God is an anchor in the storm, not the storm, itself, making me grateful for things that don’t change. Labels: mormon women priesthood, ordain women, Pamela Romney Openshaw, Promises of the Constitution The Road to Common Core: One Way or the Highway Opposition continues to build toward Common Core, the behemoth, pseudo state education program tucked quietly into the federal government’s hip pocket. People are waking up, and big names in the freedom movement have joined the charge. On July 22, at the Provo Towne Center’s Cinemark 16 Theater, Glenn Beck presented “We will Not Conform,” his effort to relegate this program to the federal funeral pyre. Joining him were Michelle Malkin, journalist and author, David Barton of WallBuilders, and Dana Loesch of The Blaze Network, along with parents, former school administrators, legislators and organizers from all sides of the political spectrum who are deeply invested in junking this program. The Provo event, one of 700 simultaneously held nationwide, was well-attended. Conducted in a live interactive format, viewers participated by texting answers to polls taken during the show and tweeting questions and comments. One impression took center stage: This issue needs to be thoroughly vetted by parents. If investigations match accusations, your children could be wrestling with an octopus. Controversy rages over Common Core. In an age where things are not always as they seem, parental vigilance stands between help and harm for kids. Two adamant opinions currently argue over which is the help and which is the harm in education. We all want what’s best for our kids, so parents of every political persuasion consistently donate time, attention and effort to give their children the best shot at life. We make them priority No. 1. Many objections were raised to Common Core at Tuesday’s event and every attendee likely concocted his own Molotov cocktail on the topic. The lack of local control is a huge concern. Once the veneer of state origination is stripped away and federal funding is exposed, the idea of local control becomes a charade. Parents lose what little influence they’ve got left in their children’s education under Common Core, and anything that takes control from parents hurts their kids. Another major theme is that this program is untested. Unbelievably, the radically new procedures in Common Core are being implemented nationwide without any data to show that they work — that they help students, improve education, produce genuine learning and cause no harm. This is like drafting plans for a novel new automobile and taking it into production without building a prototype to see if the darned thing even runs. Some educators have a high school crush on the Core, but they have only hollow hopes — promises of anticipated benefits, not evidence of proven results. This is absurd. Our children are not experimental animals. We heard the same Utopian rhetoric from No Child Left Behind and Race to the Top, both of which bombed. Further, Common Core was developed by business gurus, not educators. Why is your child’s education in a tycoon’s business model? Could your children become profit pawns, made possible by the data collection on personality profiles and preferences that partners with the Core? Some credit the involvement of these tycoons to unselfish, altruistic motives, but some people still believe in the Easter Bunny. Our children are not for sale. The saddest objection to Common Core came from six parents and their children, ranging from grades 3 through 9, who explained Common Core’s One Way or the Highway approach to problem solving. With many ways to solve a math problem, for instance, only the one method taught by Common Core gets you a correct score on the test. That one method is not simple or easy; rather the math taught is long, convoluted and nonsensical. Use any other method and you fail, even with the correct answer. This is absurd. There’s no learning to think here, just a demand to follow the leader. Why? Parents told of kindergartners taking 80 minute computer tests and high school tests hours long. They talked of children whose self-esteem was shredded, of children who begged to not go to school. High schoolers told of boring technical texts as reading assignments rather than the age old classics that develop moral character. Activists reported test failures ranging as high as 50 percent; not surprising when you learn that the business tycoons behind Common Core also sell the tests and double their money for each child that fails and must be re-tested. There are too many rotten apples in this barrel. Parents must investigate carefully and then talk to each other, to teachers and to state legislators about this pivotal issue. Grandparents can help. Resistance is likely, but Common Core is still stoppable at the state level. The future of children and education is at stake. The following websites can help you: www.utahnsagainstcommoncore.com, www.truthinamericaneducation.com, www.FreedomWorks.org. “We Will Not Conform” will play again at the same theater on July 29. It would be wise for you to be there.

Net income dropped to 103 billion rubles ($4.2 billion), from 136 billion rubles a year earlier, the company said on its web site Wednesday. Operating expenditures increased 18 percent, to 390 billion rubles, as spending on wages, repairs, materials, electricity and purchased oil and gas rose. Gazprom's effective tax rate advanced to 31 percent, UBS Moscow gas analyst Dmitry Lukashov said Wednesday. Sales rose 5.1 percent to 532 billion rubles. "Gazprom has disappointed in terms of cost control," Deutsche Bank analysts Pavel Kushnir and Olga Danilenko said in a note to investors. Spending on staff fell only 2 percent compared with the first quarter, against declines of 9 to 18 percent during the same interval in previous years, the analysts wrote. Total long-term borrowings rose 37 percent in the first half to 1.1 trillion rubles as of June 30, more than any other Russian company. The figure was 806 billion rubles as of Dec. 31. Sales in the second quarter advanced because of higher prices in Russia and former Soviet republics including Ukraine and Belarus. Demand in those markets and Europe was little changed. Gazprom on Tuesday received approval from the government to raise domestic prices as much as 25 percent next year. Exports have been more lucrative for Gazprom, the world's largest gas producer, which supplies a quarter of Europe's gas. "The 25 percent tariff decision trumps everything else," Beadle said. Gazprom plans to export a record 157.7 billion cubic meters to Europe next year, after lowering its estimate for European exports this year by 2 percent. The price may reach $354 per 1,000 cubic meters in 2008, chief executive Alexei Miller said last week, one-third more than the forecast for this year.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0023.json.gz/line3417

In afternoon trade, the chances were 92% and 8%, respectively.

__label__cc	0.666093	0.333907	redpaper.net Website of the Red Paper Collective UNISON Scotland publishes devolution plan Posted on March 1, 2013 by Dave Watson — 9 Comments ↓ Yesterday UNISON Scotland launched its latest contribution to the constitutional change debate, ‘A Fairer Scotland – Devolution’. In the first ‘A Fairer Scotland’ paper we set out our approach to constitutional change. In common with much of the trade union movement, UNISON has not as yet taken a stance on the referendum itself. Instead the union has challenged all parties to the debate to explain how their preferred option will match UNISON’s priorities as laid out in ‘A Fairer Scotland’. The latest document opens up a debate which has so far focused on fiscal issues and argues that new devolved powers for the Scottish Parliament are essential to create a Fairer Scotland and improve the lives of working people. We start from the principle of subsidiarity, the idea that matters should be handled by the smallest (or, the lowest) competent authority. Although we also recognise that others powers could be devolved because we would want to do things differently in Scotland, without undermining the principle of solidarity across the UK. On this basis we make the case for devolving employment matters including, health and safety, public service pensions, employment regulation and equalities. We believe devolving energy would enable the Scottish Parliament to play to Scotland’s generating strengths, while maintaining a democratic say in the UK market mechanisms. Devolving elections, data protection, consumer rights and others, largely tidy up anomalies in the current settlement. In total it adds up to a major shift in legislative powers to Scotland. While we think it is long overdue that more focus is placed on powers, we have not ignored fiscal powers. We argue that all property taxes should be devolved together with income tax including the power to vary the rate in bands. This could include National Insurance as the link with contributory benefits is becoming increasingly weak and government needs to see the full impact of their taxation policy on people’s incomes. We also accept that business taxes should remain at UK level. Tax competition is wrong in principle and in any case will be constrained by tightening EU rules in this field. The same applies to consumption taxes (primarily VAT) as EU rules don’t allow variable rates in the same state. There is a stronger policy element to fuel duty, tobacco and alcohol taxes, but given the integrated nature of the UK it is hard to see how these could be set differently in Scotland. We support fiscal devolution not because of any perceived ‘moral hazard’ in a parliament not raising the money it spends. But rather because under the current arrangements Scotland is pulled, at least financially, by English approaches to public services that have little support in Scotland. Devolution also doesn’t stop at Holyrood. At a time when there is increasing concern over the centralisation of services in Scotland, it is important that the constitutional role of local government should be recognised in any discussion over devolved powers. Local authorities should have a stronger statutory basis, gaining greater control over their finances including business rates and there should be less ring fencing of council grants. It is for the Scottish Government to set out the independence ‘offer’ in their White Paper later this year. Equally the pro-devolution parties need to set out what voting No means in terms of extended devolution and that is the focus of our latest paper. The status quo is not an option for the vast majority of Scots. This entry was posted in News by Dave Watson.

In the first para Dave Watson states, “UNISON has not as yet taken a stance on the referendum itself”. He then beigins three subsequent paras “On this basis we make the case for devolving employment matters….”. then “We also accept that business taxes should remain at UK level”. and “We support fiscal devolution not because of any perceived ‘moral hazard…….” Mr. Watson, please explain. If not for my benefit, I think UNISON members deserve an explanation. Dave Watson on March 2, 2013 at 9:19 am said: Because there are two different processes being addressed as the full paper makes clear. The pro-devolution parties are considering the next stage of devolution so obviously trade unions want to influence that debate as well. That does not sound very objective to me. On the one hand Unison has still to take a stance on the referendum and on the other it wants to ‘influence the debate’ your words. The independence parties are also planning for the future after a yes vote. Why does UNISON not want to influence that debate? It strikes me that, for an organisation still claiming to be sitting on the fence, it appears to UNISON members that there is only one direction their leadership is facing. Dave Watson on March 2, 2013 at 3:09 pm said: We do wish to influence the independence debate as well. That’s what the first ‘Fairer Scotland’ paper and the similar STUC ‘Just Scotland’ paper is about. You may wish that everyone would just talk about your campaign, but that isn’t where we and most people in Scotland for that matter currently are. Norrie Gray on March 2, 2013 at 4:34 pm said: I often disagree with Dave and others who share his position. But you have to recognise that debate requires an element of listening to the other argument and responding accordingly. Not just trumpeting your own opinions irrespective of the points made. Infantile abuse is also pretty ineffective and simply damages your case. Richard MacKinnon on March 3, 2013 at 11:44 am said: Norrie Gray, “Infantile abuse ……….” ? Where? Name it. , Dave Watson, I’ve never mentioned the pro independence campaign in any of my comments. The only issue I have raised is the dishonest position the leadership of UNISON are taking. In this one article you claim UNISON “has not as yet taken a stance” and then give examples of the further powers you think should be devolved and which powers should be retained. The membership of unions that represent government employees in Scotland will see their numbers soar under independence and you, as an advocate of retention of certain powers, are by definition clearly a supporter of a No vote to independence. This is not ‘infantile abuse’ , the accusation I am making is serious, it is, that you Mr. Watson are putting your own opinions and self interests ahead of the interests of UNISON in Scotland Richard MacKinnon on March 12, 2013 at 2:32 pm said: Dave Watson, What a pity you don’t feel inclined to defend yourself against a charge of dereliction of duty. If you think that hiding and hoping that this will all go way is the answer then let me assure you, it won’t. As the Communication Union that represents postal workers in Edinburgh and the Fire Fighters Union come out in support of a Yes vote it is beholden on you to state how Independence will impact on UNISON. That does not mean presenting your own personal views as UNISON policy instead of what is best way forward for the members you represent. Dave Watson on March 12, 2013 at 5:33 pm said: I have answered the point you raised. You just dont like the answer. UNISON policy is decided by members through our democratic structures and on this issue is set out very clearly here: http://www.unison-scotland.org.uk/scotlandsfuture/index.html.

Over five days and 1200 miles, the race covers some of the most beautiful and rugged terrain imaginable. The Rothsport team built a pair of identical Porsche 964 Rally cars specially for the event. Everything was thought through, every piece of the car evaluated critically, making sure they had the best possible chance of doing what no other Porsche had succeeded at before, completing the race! Tuthill racing of the UK was called on for specialized equipment as well as expertise on car prep based on their years of running Porsche 911 cars in events like the East African Safari Rally. The cars came together beautifully. Both cars used Braid wheels and BFG A/T KM2 tires. You can never have too many lights. What truck would you choose to support the race if you lived and breathed vintage air cooled Porsches? If your sense of adventure is finely tuned, you would pick a Steyr Puch Pinzgauer 712M 6x6. These legendary trucks were made in Graz, Austria. This one was originally made specifically for the Swiss army. Each Pinzgauer came loaded with standard features that make them excellent for operating the worlds toughest environments. They all have portal axels, independent suspension, locking differentials on each axel, a robust air-cooled engine, and the worlds most uncomfortable seats. That is where scheel-mann came to the rescue. Jeff had purchased the Pinzgauer to transport a full load of spare parts including an entire engine and transmission the entire length of the Baja peninsula. 1,200 miles in those old seats (not much more than planks) would have been torture. A plan was hatched to install a set of legendary scheel-mann Traveler F seats in Black LR02 Cloth Cushions, and S111 Black Leatherette bolsters. I wanted to test out these materials in the desert dust and heat, and this was the perfect opportunity. Jeff made adapter brackets, and the seats fit like a glove! scheel-mann usa © 2020, scheel-mann usa. Powered by Sitecast	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0023.json.gz/line3442
__label__cc	0.514174	0.485826	Home \| Contacts Modeling Approach Guideline Model Controlled Resources SAGE Approach to Guideline Modeling Components of SAGE Guideline Mode Protégé as the Guideline Modeling Tool Approach Models and Services Standard Technologies Deployment Driven Encoding The SAGE approach to guideline modeling is motivated by several considerations. Standards and Sharing First is the need to make use of standards. Past efforts have gone into developing shared models for representing medical decisions and clinical guidelines. However, it takes more than a formalism for medical logic to accomplish sharing of computable medical knowledge. Reuse of a guideline knowledge base also requires an infrastructure that includes a flexible medical record query interfaces, terminology mediation, and an action interface. Standards vs. RequirementsWith the emergence of clinical standards such as Health Level Seven’s Version 3 (HL7 v3) Reference Information Model (RIM) and College of American Pathologists’s SNOMED Clinical Terms, we have the opportunity to build a guideline model from basic principles, to take advantage of these infrastructural standards in a systematic way. Still, making use of standards for modeling guideline is not a straight forward process. Rarely do existing standards completely satisfy the requirements of guideline modeling. Thus the elucidation of the complex relationship between existing standards and requirements for guideline modeling and deployment is one of the themes of the SAGE project. Integration with WorkflowAnother consideration is SAGE’s approach to integrating guideline-based decision support with the workflow of care process. The success of clinical decision-support systems (DSSs) depends heavily on how the system is integrated into the care process. The SAGE project takes the approach that, as a provider of decision-support services to CISs, SAGE will not be in control of host systems’ workflow management. Thus, in the SAGE modeling approach, we are not required to model detailed workflow as, for example, University of Pavia’s careflow methodology proposes. Instead, the SAGE system will respond to opportunities for decision support in the care process. Scenarios of CareWe model enough of the workflow contexts to recognize appropriate events that should trigger decision-support services. Upon receipt of such triggering events, the SAGE DSS will deliver, through existing functions of the CIS, guideline-based recommendations appropriate for members of a care team. The implication of this approach for the guideline modeling is that guideline knowledge must support operations in an event-driven reactive system and it must take into account clinical and organization contexts such as care setting and provider roles. Instead of just creating an electronic version of a clinical practice guideline, guideline modeling in SAGE formalizes guideline knowledge being used in specific scenarios and settings. New Guideline RepresentationOur decision to start a new guideline representation is based on much interchange and cross-fertilization that has taken place recently in the guideline modeling community. Beginning with workshops such as the ones sponsored by InterMed in 1999, Open Clinical in 2000, and University of Leipzig in 2001, and continuing with a number of comparison papers, workers in the guideline modeling community have gained much better understanding of the commonalities and differences among different guideline modeling approaches and of the design choices made in them. The SAGE project has given us the opportunity to synthesize prior work and, wherever possible, to establish mappings between the SAGE model and other models. As a result of these considerations, the SAGE project took an approach to guideline modeling that is based on the use of (1) standard data models and services, (2) standard terminologies, and (3) a deployment-based approach to guideline encoding. Data models and services To achieve interoperability of guideline decision-support system (GDSS) with vendor clinical information systems (CIS), we make explicit a suite of models and services that together define the interface between DSS and CIS. An organizational model that defines available clinical and administrative events, roles, settings, and resources provides the vocabulary to describe the contexts in which our GDSS provides decision-support services. A guideline may be triggered by a patient check-in event generated at a primary care, outpatient clinic where guideline-based alerts are generated for providers who have the roles of clinic nurse, and primary care physician. Virtual Medical RecordA guideline is encoded using a simplified view of a patient’s medical record data, called a Virtual Medical Record (VMR) that is ultimately based on the HL7 RIM. The VMR classes, by themselves, still allow several degrees of freedom in representing patient information (e.g. the code slot in AdverseReaction may be “allergic drug reaction” (SNOMED CT 74069000) or more restrictive “vaccine allergy’ (SNOMED CT 294640001). Detailed clinical models, also called Clinical Expression Models (CEMs), spell out, by placing constraints on attributes of VMR classes, precisely how patient data would be represented. Standard terminologies Terms from terminologies are the atomic units of meaning that we use to make assertions through information models such as VMR and CEMs. However, concepts used in clinical guidelines often do not match precisely the term hierarchies in standard medical terminologies. For example, the concept of “pulmonary problem excluding asthma”, is unlikely to have an exact equivalent in any standard terminology. For the SAGE project we developed several strategies to define guideline concepts from standard terminologies. The first technique is to use the a reference terminology’s own compositional method for defining new concepts. Using SNOMED CT, for example, we can define to terms such as “severe wound” as a {“wound lesion” (SNOMED CT 239155007) associated severity “severe” (SNOMED CT 24484000)}. Our second technique is to using a notation, which we call Concept Expression, to define a term as Boolean combinations of other terms (e.g. “pulmonary disease excluding asthma” as a {“disease of lung” (SNOMED CT 19829001) AND NOT “asthma” (SNOMED CT 195967001)}). Deployment-driven Guideline Encoding Methodology To ensure that the a guideline formalized in a SAGE knowledge base is informed by the usage scenarios of the guidelines in the care process, the SAGE project developed a seven-step deployment-driven guideline modeling methodology (see figure below). Once the decision to develop a guideline has been made, the SAGE guideline knowledge base methodology requires that clinicians first create clinical scenarios[1] that are detailed enough to support integration of guideline recommendations into clinical workflow. These usage scenarios identify opportunities for providing decision support, the roles and information needs of care providers, events that may activate the guideline system, and guideline knowledge relevant in these scenarios. In subsequent steps, clinicians distill, from guideline texts, medical literature, and their clinical expertise, the guideline logic and concepts[2,3] needed to generate these recommendations. A vocabulary inventory[5] is created when the guideline concepts are mapped to reference terminologies. The usage of the concepts in making statements about a patient is standardized as clinical expression models[4]. In the final stages, clinicians work with knowledge engineers to formalize the guideline knowledge in term of the SAGE guideline model, producing a guideline knowledge-base[4]. Finally, before a formalized guideline can be installed and used in a local institution, its medical content must be reviewed and revised (in what we call the localization process[7]) and its data models, terminologies, and organization assumptions (roles, events, and resources) must be mapped to those of the local institution (in what we call the binding process[7]). The SAGE guideline knowledge-base development process. The process is driven not only by the guideline literature, but by use cases for clinical decision support based on carefully defined clinical scenarios. The guideline knowledge base is support by a series of terminology, information, and organizational models. The SAGE project has been supported by grant 70NANB1H3049 of the NIST Advanced Technology Program. Copyright © 2002-2006, All rights reserved.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0023.json.gz/line3445
__label__cc	0.574292	0.425708	On the Road: Visiting with Ron Shuebrook Published Aug 22 2017 by Director, Deborah Carver With our fall exhibition schedule fast approaching, we paid a visit to Ron Shuebrook’s studio in Blandford, Nova Scotia to make some selections. Shuebrook lives in Guelph, Ontario and summers in Nova Scotia. His connection to Nova Scotia began when Shuebrook lived in Annapolis Valley and taught at Acadia University from 1973-1977. In the 1980’s, Shuebrook returned to be on the faculty and head of the Studio Division at Nova Scotia College of Art & Design. Large canvas from the eighties on the bottom floor of Shuebrook’s Blandford studio to be included in Studio 21’s fall exhibition. To prepare for his exhibition Shuebrook drove down with a truck of art new and old for us to choose from. The Blandford studio is the former Odd Fellows Lodge hall, a very important community centre. Downstairs, large canvases are propped against the walls, dating from the 1970’s forward. Evident in many is the signature Shuebrook “Monkey Rope” form, derived from many readings of Melville’s Moby Dick and from the whaling heritage of this part of Nova Scotia. Other paintings integrate strong geometric forms, sometimes laid down in relationship to the Monkey Rope spiral. We chose six large paintings for the Studio 21 exhibition, three from the 1980’s and three new works. Upstairs, Shuebrook has installed a temporary exhibition of smaller work on the white-paneled studio wall. Small canvases hanging on the walls of Shuebrook’s Blandford studio (included in Studio 21’s fall exhibition). Visiting with Shuebrook is as much to do with listening as looking. Shuebrook is a raconteur and each story is linked to the intertwining of his many artistic, academic and social connections over the years. His memory at age 74 is acute. As evidence of this, Shuebrook is working on a suite of small paintings documenting each of the 70-some houses in which he has lived. These include 1960’s military housing, university digs, artist-in-residence accommodations and more long-term homes. Ron Shuebrook is most definitely a grand man of Canadian art. His exhibition that opens October 13, 2017, includes a selection of works from the eighties to now. Also opening is an exhibition of new paintings by New York-based Canadian abstract artist Jordan Broadworth. Ron Shuebrook Selections: Eighties & Now	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0023.json.gz/line3450
__label__wiki	0.582985	0.582985	New Global Roadmap of Action to guide the future of mobility Posted by Anonymous on 23 October 2019 - 10:00pm Sustainable mobility could connect 1 billion people, increase GDP by 2.6 trillion, cut 1.8 gigatons of CO2 WASHINGTON, October 23, 2019 — The Sustainable Mobility for All (SuM4All) initiative launched today the Global Roadmap of Action toward Sustainable Mobility (GRA), a tool to guide country decision-makers on “how to” achieve mobility that is efficient, accessible, safe and green. The event brought together global leaders in the sector to discuss country and city actions for achieving greener, safer, more efficient, and equitable mobility. The GRA follows the 2017 launch of Global Mobility Report, the first-ever global assessment of the transport sector across all modes. With growing urbanization, increasing world trade and new technologies, the global mobility system is stressed. More than 1 billion people, or one-third of the global rural population, lacks access to all-weather roads and transport services—a major barrier to social and economic advancement. The GRA will help tackle this urgency by taking a holistic approach of sustainability and offering concrete policy solutions countries can adapt and adopt to achieve sustainable mobility. As a tool, the GRA helps countries identify gaps, crucial steps, and appropriate policies to ensure that transport contributes to attain the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030 and improve the sustainability of their transport system. According to the GRA, globally, one billion more people would be connected to education, health and jobs if we close the transport access gap in rural areas; improvements in border administration, transport and communication infrastructure could increase global GDP by up to US$2.6 trillion; and an additional 1.6 billion people would breathe cleaner air if transport pollution was halved. “The current mobility system takes a heavy toll on our planet and leaves many people behind. In most cases, it is also expensive, inefficient, and unsafe. The GRA is the first comprehensive effort to look across the four policy goals of accessibility, efficiency, safety, and green mobility for all modes of transport with a focus on action. It serves as an important tool for policymakers to act now and turn the vision of sustainable transport into a reality,” said Nancy Vandycke, Program Manager of SuM4All and World Bank Lead Economist. “At Michelin, we believe mobility is a key factor of human progress. But we also know that transport is a major contributor to CO2 emissions. The challenge is to achieve more mobility, for more people, with less impact. In this sense, the GRA is a real milestone. It is an operational toolbox that will help States and cities improve the sustainability of their own transport sector. As a member of the Sum4All steering committee, Michelin is proud to support this great, action-focused initiative,” said Florent Menegaux, CEO of Michelin. "Safe, efficient, low carbon and accessible mobility is essential to sustainable human development policies. The Global Roadmap for Action is a new go-to resource enabling countries and decision makers to define sustainable mobility pathways," said SLoCaT Partnership's Secretary General, Maruxa Cardama. According to Olga Algayerova, Executive Secretary, UNECE, “The United Nations inland transport conventions administered by UNECE provide a harmonized legal and regulatory framework for the development of sustainable transport systems worldwide. They enable the efficient and safe mobility of people and goods, and boost economic development by enhancing connectivity and saving significant time and costs for cross-border trade. These unique tools, coupled with binding air pollution reduction commitments under UNECE’s Air Convention, also help to integrate air quality and climate action at the heart of sustainable mobility.” “With the GRA we have finally and for the first time a clear vision that can be translated into immediate action. We look forward to working with countries and industry on a new and impactful pipeline of projects,” said Susanna Zammataro, Director General, International Road Federation (IRF).” “Without sustainable mobility, it is impossible to realistically aspire to safer, cleaner and more equitable societies across the world now, and for our future generations,” said Sheila Watson, Deputy Director of the FIA Foundation and Co-Chair of the gender chapter of the GRA. “The Global Roadmap of Action toward Sustainable Mobility offers an opportunity to benchmark individual countries’ progress towards mobility and set out the actions need to develop more efficient policies and targeted action. The FIA Foundation is proud to support the launch of this important and comprehensive report and the work of SUM4ALL going forward.” “Alongside our global membership, UITP actively works on advancing public transport to help make our cities more sustainable. The Global Roadmap of Action Toward Sustainable Mobility is an ambitious and impressive effort to identify the most relevant and impactful policy measures to advance the sector and decarbonise transport. UITP was proud to co-lead the urban access pillar of the GRA and we’re pleased to join other players in accelerating progress. Lasting change can only be achieved through collaboration and we invite all actors to join this effort,” said Mohamed Mezghani, Secretary General of UITP. “We need cleaner, safer and more efficient transport systems in order to increase productivity and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In this context, the Sum4All initiative brings together all voices, and helps strengthening our capacities to work hand in hand with national and local governments to create more opportunities for future generations”, said Luis Carranza, CAF Executive President. “Global challenges call for global solutions and making freight transportation sustainable is no exception. Multilateral approaches underpinned by a shared vision, a sense of community and multi-stakeholder collaboration, are the ultimate safeguard against impractical solutions that distort the playing field while leaving behind the most vulnerable and the weakest. Achieving freight transportation systems that are truly economically efficient, environmentally sound and socially inclusive would otherwise be impossible,” said Mukhisa Kituyi, Secretary-General of UNCTAD. The GRA report is the outcome of more than 18 months of work by 55 influential organizations, 180 experts, and consultations with 50 public decision makers and 25 private corporations. SuM4All is an umbrella platform supported by 55 public and private organizations with a shared ambition to transform the future of mobility.

__label__cc	0.649894	0.350106	The transmitter unit (left) and receiver unit (right) of one instance of SCP-2672. Object Class: Safe Special Containment Procedures: Recovered SCP-2672 instances are currently stored in a standard containment locker at Site-49. Access to instances of SCP-2672 in containment requires Level-3 authorization. Recall notices for "Watchful Eye" brand baby monitors consistent with SCP-2672's appearance have been posted to stores carrying instances of SCP-2672. Monitoring software has been installed on these stores' point-of-sale systems; all automated alerts triggered are to be immediately investigated and any discovered instances of SCP-2672 seized for containment. Foundation agents assigned to SCP-2672 are to routinely investigate stores in areas surrounding their given location for additional manifestations of SCP-2672. Description: SCP-2672 is the collective designation for all instances of an anomalous baby monitor radio system marketed under the brand name “Watchful Eye”. Each instance of SCP-2672 consists of a transmitter unit (equipped with a microphone) and a receiver unit (equipped with a speaker). SCP-2672's anomalous properties manifest when the transmitter unit is placed in a room with an infant two years or younger and the receiver unit is placed in a room where only the mother of said infant can hear its speaker; when not in this configuration SCP-2672 functions like a normal one-way radio. Once this configuration is achieved, at seemingly random intervals1 the speaker will emit sounds of the baby in extreme distress. This transmission is highly variable in content; some have simply been sounds of the baby crying at high volume while others have included voices of unknown people that appear to interact with the baby in abusive or threatening ways. The actual baby, however, remains unharmed and seemingly-unaffected; additional non-anomalous recording units placed near the baby have picked up no trace of this transmission. Once the mother moves out of hearing range of the speaker, the anomalous transmission ceases. Routine cross-object investigation has revealed that SCP-2672 shares similar branding with SCP-2453; however, the earliest instances of SCP-2672 predate those of SCP-2453 by approximately 10 years. As with SCP-2453, there was no record of how SCP-2672 instances were delivered to stores or how the product was entered into each store's inventory system. When interviewed, employees of affected businesses reported observing no unusual happenings and further reported never noticing any childcare products branded differently from the stores' usual stock. Records indicate that SCP-2672 was first distributed in stores in approximately 1999. However, the nature of the anomaly meant that many affected mothers heard the transmission, immediately ran to check on their child, and upon discovering them unharmed assumed that (a) they had imagined the transmission or (b) their child had simply calmed down. While some affected mothers – largely those that had heard additional voices in the anomalous transmission – did complain to the stores that sold them SCP-2672, these actions were infrequent enough that SCP-2672 only came to Foundation attention in 2006, when the anomalous transmission changed to include a seemingly-prerecorded message. This additional recording is played before every anomalous transmission and consists of an unidentified male voice threatening the baby's life if the mother does not listen to the entire transmission without leaving; see Addendum SCP-2672-A for more details. As before, the baby is unharmed and unaffected regardless of whether these instructions are followed. After this change in behavior, related police reports increased dramatically and SCP-2672 was discovered and contained. Addendum SCP-2672-A: Pre-transmission recording transcript The following recording was captured by Junior Researcher Laura Hernandez, who personally volunteered both herself and her 6-month-old daughter for testing purposes. Additional testing, along with interviews of subjects affected by SCP-2672 pre-containment, corroborate that the only part of the captured message that varies is the name of the mother (which thus far has always correctly corresponded to the birth name) and the gender of the baby. Transcript follows: [sound of crying in the background, abruptly cut off] Don't move, Laura. Not a muscle, not at all, or she'll be lost forever and there will be nothing you can do. What happens next, whether she survives, is entirely in your hands. The only way you can save her is to sit down, now, and listen. Listen. It will be… unpleasant. You will want to run away, perhaps plug your ears. This will be her unmaking, as surely as if you were doing this to her yourself. Understand that no matter what you hear, the consequences of disobedience will be a thousand times worse. So sit and listen, or I swear to you that the next time you see her – if you ever see her again – will be the last. Don't be selfish. Don't be foolish. Sit. Listen. Listen. [crying abruptly resumes, rest of recording omitted as non-pertinent] Junior Researcher Hernandez's child has shown no signs of being affected by this incident in any way. Addendum SCP-2672-B: Followup investigation On 07-21-2007, Foundation agents recovered an instance of SCP-2672 from the house of Alice ████████ after she experienced an anomalous transmission and filed a police report. In this report, Mrs. ████████ noted that she had listened to the entire transmission as instructed and had recognized a voice in the background as that of local resident Lawrence Reed, who lived 2 miles away. A Foundation investigation revealed no contact between Reed and Mrs. ████████'s baby son but did uncover that Reed had been repeatedly physically abusing his own infant son. A followup investigation was started to analyze existing recordings of SCP-2672's anomalous transmissions obtained during testing. Thus far, nine transmissions containing background voices have been successfully voiceprint analyzed and traced back to a source. All of these sources have been people living within 10 miles of the SCP-2672 instance that produced the transmission in question, and all have been found to have committed serious physical abuse to a child in their care. A proposal has been submitted to establish a series of “listening stations” using instances of SCP-2672 in major cities as a way to proactively seek out the sources of these transmissions. Proposal denied. A non-productive use of valuable Foundation resources, using an object whose origin is as yet unknown – not to mention the logistical and ethical concerns around incorporating infants into a permanent research station. - Kenneth Barrowman, Site Administrator Addendum 2672-C: Unauthorized experiment 2672-37 On 04-21-2016 (approximately eight years after all known instances of SCP-2672 had been discovered and contained) Dr. Hernandez retrieved an instance of SCP-2672 and instructed Junior Researcher Welby, a recent mother, to wait for an anomalous transmission. Upon doing so it was found that the initial recorded message had changed, a fact that Dr. Hernandez immediately brought to Foundation attention. Transcript follows: You are wasting our work. This is unacceptable. We are neither monsters nor idiots; once we realized it was not having the desired effect, we tried to make the obvious change. We said, clearly and thoroughly, that they were about to hear the cries of another's child and that they must listen carefully to pinpoint its location. And all of our testing revealed one very simple fact: They wouldn't do it. They did not have the mental fortitude to save a child that was not their own. Often they would simply turn it off before we had even finished speaking. They were foolish and selfish. So we forced their hand, made them do the right thing. We offer no apology for the effectiveness of our actions. If you do not restore our work, we will be forced to proceed down an alternate path. We hope that you will see the error of your judgment before that happens; that you will keep an open mind and a full heart. But we will not be deterred in our purpose. It is unclear if the “alternate path” referred to is a reference to SCP-2453 or not. Dr. Hernandez claims to have no prior knowledge of this new recording and asserts she acted of her own volition. She is currently remanded offsite pending a disciplinary hearing. Researcher Welby was unaware of the unauthorized nature of the experiment and has been cleared for a return to active work. All further proposals to conduct further experiments on SCP-2672 are denied by O5 decree. 1.

Too many published reviewers post bland and uninformative pieces that tell you nothing about the bands or the circumstances that enhance or diminish the potential of a performance. My end goal is to make you feel as though you were at the show. I aim to point out what works, what doesn't and to create a symbiotic relationship where band and reviewer are dependent on one another. GAY PARIS • THE STIFFYS • THE BERKSHIRE HUNTING CLUB (“TAYAR” ALBUM LAUNCH) BLACKBIRD • SORCERY • BONEZ THE ROLLER DEN – 18/07/14 “Inky!!” screamed Pinky whilst darting around the corner to escape her puck-shaped predator. As she turned the sharp left she bumped noggins with her tangerine-coloured comrade, Clyde…. at least she thought it was Clyde. For reasons unexplained, the four of them all turned the colour of mystique’s bangin’ sweater hams whenever “Round Yella” got on the gear. She regained her composure, groggily looked up and became instantly mortified upon witnessing Clyde’s ectoplasm dripping from the corners of her pursuer’s toothless food hole. She fled the scene faster than a teenager could get an erection, and found herself lost in the death maze once again, however the sounds of “wakka wakka wakka” could always be heard in the distance. “Ayyyeeeee!” came the blood-curdled shriek of Blinky…. and then….. there was silence. The realisation that she was all alone had sunk in harder than the Gummi De Milo in Ashely the babysitter's booty. She accepted defeat and stood at the centre of the labyrinth, when a shadow on the north wall signalled the advent of the buttery behemoth. Emerging from the darkened corner came the death-dealers; Fozzy Bear, riding side-saddle atop of Pacman. The unification of “wakka wakka” and “wakka wakka wakka” had proven too much for the motley crew of would be hunters. As Pinky drew her last breath, a slam on the tabletop pulled me out of my 8-bit trance. “Let’s go” whined Scrappy Doo “we’re gonna miss the first band”. I gladly obliged my protégé and together we descended the stairs into the Rancor’s pit. My virgin outing to The Roller Den had me frothing at the mouth at just how good the room was. Beards and dreadlocks filled the space early which was filled with more hair than an Ewok village. Up on the stage, BONEZ tried their hardest to woo the early birds. I immediately associated the guitarist and bassist with the Wet Bandits from Home Alone due to their matching fingerless gloves. The group exude a classic pub rock sound, drawing on influences such as The Doors and Santana. Vocalist Tomy Gray had the eyes and intensity of Mick Jagger but without any of the stage room to cut sick. He was entertaining in his own right but it was the bassist who garnered the majority of my attention. His fat rumbling tones and bluesy walking bass really played a vital role in the overall punch delivered by the group. The Damien Sandow look-a-like also provided some surprisingly passable impromptu trumpet into the fold which brought joy to the room in a way that only an animated Disney movie could. I wish I had more to write but I only managed to catch the last three songs from the set. My only beef was that the backing vocals were completely lost in the mix but other than that, the music was good for what it was. SORCERY hit the ground running to deliver a feisty mix of thrash, punk and metal onto the ever-growing crowd. The high-pitched, fast-paced screams of the vocalist (who I’ll refer to as Ryan from The OC as I was unable to locate any sort of webpage for the band) complimented the brutal distorted tones of Treebeard the bassist, Blackbeard the guitarist and Nobeard the second guitarist. Despite dressing like Oz’s band from Buffy, I actually really dug these guys. Ryan from The OC is a natural frontman who utilizes an “I don’t care” attitude to his performance in the same vein as Julian Casablancas of The Strokes. He mussed his hair in time to the music and his eyes were constantly rolling towards the back of their sockets, enriching the performance ten-fold. Amidst all the trash came an incredibly heavy breakdown reminiscent of the “Shut up! I’ll fuck you up!” section of Korn’s “Right Now” which had my head bouncing around like those of the Stark family. Definitely a group to keep on your radars. Sydney six-piece BLACKBIRD came out of the gates strong with their take on sixties inspired rock n roll. All three guitarists and the bassist playing the exact same riff really gave the genesis of the set a sense of turgid beefiness. The “oomf” quickly wore off however once I realised that I was watching a jam session rather than a performance. Apart from the bassist, not one member of the band acknowledged that the crowd was even there. Awkward silence filled the space between every song. No “Hi. We’re Blackbird”. No “Thankyou for coming out”. No “This is our last song”. No banter. Nothing. Everyone adopted the shoegazer stance and the vocalist took it one step further by having his back to us the entire set. Add to this his out of tune singing/wailing which was unsuccessfully masked by copious amounts of reverb. One of the guitarists was behind a pole the whole performance and the truth of the matter is, they might as well have all been there. Towards the end of the set the drummer developed an excitement level rivalling that of Augustus Gloop upon seeing the chocolate waterfall for the first time, but it was too little, too late. The music was solid but became very repetitive, very quickly. Quite frankly, I was insulted they played third. “Gloriously insane” best describes the stage presence of post-hardcore outfit THE BERKSHIRE HUNTING CLUB. Guitarist Nick Ryan had swindled me out of my hard earned money in a game of Connect Four at the merch stand. The rules were simple; if you win, you get free merch. If you lose, you HAVE TO buy it. It’s a brilliant piece of interactive marketing which sets the lads apart from other bands before they even hit the stage. Needless to say I lost the game (as well as the shirt on the way home). Moving the events back to the stage, Berkshire are fucking insane live and will have you scrambling to find your children (or someone else’s children) to protect them. Vocalist Matt Browne is the spitting image of Lips from The Electric Mayhem and performs with the insanity of Cyprus Hill’s collective membranes. Every inch of his body makes contact with some part of the floor throughout the set with band members (and audience members) attacking the man as he performs. Whether it be a push, a tackle, a thrown cup or a piggy back, Browne welcomes the interaction and incorporates it into his performance (usually through reciprocation of the attack). Top-lip moustache advocate Rob Hudson looks half the age of the rest of the band but his on-stage demeanour interlocks with Browne’s like Jim’s dick in a warm apple pie. He utilizes a butt-tonne of slides in his guitar style which only enhances the abrasiveness of the groups already grating post-hardcore sound. Nick “Swindling Cunt” Ryan had his guitar strap so high that it looks as though he is holding a rifle as he plays. Male model and bassist Mitch Antman has no aesthetic business being up on stage and should be ashamed for making everyone else look ugly. Up the back of the dais, Ryan Wakeling pounds away at his kit like a kid playing whack-a-mole. His high-vis pumpkin coloured beanie never leaving the comfort of his mathematically programmed head. The bands unapologetically vicious performance won more than a few hearts tonight and if the music didn’t, then the mouth-to-mouth beer exchange between Browne and Ryan did. To my horror, every person on-stage threw their instruments around with the ferocity of a PMS’ing Sheila Broflofski and were actively trying to break their guitars. As my little sugar biscuit so elegantly put it “It’s so refreshing to see a band that isn’t so precious about their gear and merchandise” and I couldn’t agree more. The Berkshire Hunting Club are one of Australia’s best keep secrets. Jump on this bandwagon now so you can be that guy in five years’ time who says “I knew them before they were famous”. Melbourne two-piece electro-rock outfit THE STIFFYS were the strangest addition to the bill but holy balls did they get the room moving. Two men dressed in matching Donald Duck sailor outfits (except with pants) managed to deliver a sound bigger than the first three bands combined. I’m reminded of artists such as The Presets and Regurgitator as bassist/vocalist Jason Leigh grinded away at his instrument in his almost knee-high socks. Providing pitch perfect harmonies on the drums was Jared Leto impersonator Adam Stagg. Together these two juggernauts managed to get the majority of the room dancing and singing along to their infectious tunes. It was my first listening of these guys and I already knew the songs by the end of the set. Leigh’s colossal, rumbling bass tones sounded as if they were produced by an entire orchestra made up entirely of bass guitars amplified through the vocal chords of Michael Clarke Duncan and James Earl Jones, and if that doesn’t suck you in, his flamboyant over-the-top performance will. Leigh’s brilliant use of loops and the fact that some dude brought a boogie board on-stage and used it to ride the crowd waves, ensured that every smile in the room joined together like a chain of paper clips. Grooves inspired by Jimi Hendrix’s “Fire” turn up the intensity to eleven as tracks such as “Sexy Lemonade” make you reach for a bottle of Gatorade to avoid dying of dehydration. I was so impressed by these guys that I bought a cd (which I also lost on the way home) a light blue shirt which I’ll never wear) and a branded sailors cap (which I’ll wear every day for the rest of my life). At the risk of stating the obvious, I have a stiffy for The Stiffys. The headliner were a band I had heard a lot about but had never seen. More importantly I had heard a lot about the live performance. Sydney foursome GAY PARIS didn’t hit the stage until after midnight but that only made the brood of punters hungrier. My first observation of the hirsute group was that the mix was way too loud and made it very hard to hear a lot of the set. Luke Monk’s unique vocals are a combination of Bobcat Goldthwait and Spider One of Powerman 5000. The music had a bluesy, swamp-rock kinda feel to it but with a bottle of bourbon poured into every track to give it a sexy modern tinge. Despite the sound being a bit lacklustre, Gay Paris more than made up for it with their insane live performance. There was more beard on-stage than a ZZ Top expo and every member performed as if the throng of zombies were there to see them, and them alone. Guitarist Lachlan Marks rode atop the shoulders of a groupie and shredded his way through the crowd whilst his sweaty bratwurst brushed up against the back of the mules’ neck. Monk couldn’t resist the urge to crowd surf but whilst on stage he held out his arms in an effort to look as big as possible and to scare away any bears that might attack. Bassist Dean Podmore couldn’t contain his excitement between each song to provide the comic relief of the night. The backing vocals from himself and Marks brought an excellent element of old-school cool from the punk and ska bands of the early nineties. The audience were more volatile than a Diet Coke that had just had a Mentos dumped in it. Bodies were flying everywhere and no matter where I stood in the room, I was getting injured. Towards the back end of the set, half the audience had managed to get up on stage only to fail miserably at crowd surfing. The group received a thunderous ovation at the conclusion of their set which led to a gratuitous encore. I opted to retreat to the back of the room for this to nurse the multitude of blisters I had amassed in the mosh. Was the sound good? No, but in the end it didn’t matter one iota. I’ll be counting down the days for a second chance to catch these Sydney-siders again so they can hopefully make me ruin a pair of my pants with butt-fuckingly good clarity of sound. One gig a month helps keep the scene alive. Also buy some fucking merch while you’re there you cheap bastards. Another successful gig means another huge win for live music. Don’t be a dick, Sydney! Support the music scene.

__label__cc	0.512661	0.487339	d.i.y., green cleaning September 8, 2013 November 11, 2018 The Ants Aren’t My Friends My beef isn’t especially with the chemical ingredients in Raid. The active ingredients in the ant spray I just used — imiprothrin and cypermethrin, if you must know — are insect neurotoxins¹ that aren’t dangerous to humans². At least not in the 0.2-percent combined concentration in this can. My beef is with the inescapable “country fresh scent” that overtakes the room you spray it in and in the adjacent rooms. Which, when you’re targeting the master bathroom, means both bathroom and bedroom are polluted with a noxious, perfumy cloud. All because of some pissants sugar ants. To back up a bit: We’d been using vinegar to thwart the approach of these ants, coming from the ceiling and, apparently, seeking water from the shower drain. The vinegar erases their trails and confuses them. It worked OK. But each time, after about a day, they’d find their way back and establish their little bucket brigade anew. Coming home from work last night, there were putting on a particularly impressive tour de force, and I gave up on holistic methods. And this is <hack> <cough> <wheeze> how the fine makers of Raid thank me? Serves me right, I guess. ¹ “Neurotoxin” is a bad-ass word, no? ² Cypermethrin does kill beneficial insects, be forewarned. But there aren’t any of those in our bathroom. Also, it’s hella-bad for fish. Jenn’s rebuttal: So there was no warning before Brad unleashed Operation Enola Gay on our poor, unsuspecting bathroom. Admittedly, he had tried several other non-toxic methods — caulking holes, cutting tree limbs that touched the house, and the aforementioned vinegar — before pulling out the big guns. I, however, was fuming more than that can of Raid because there was no going near that cloud of nastiness for hours. We even left home to kill time at the movies until the air was tolerable again. But maybe Brad’s right. Surely the label wouldn’t lie about toxicity to humans? Well, except for the occasional headache, dizziness, burning or itching of the face, airway irritation, rhinitis, sneezing, pulmonary edema, cough, dyspnea, wheezing, chest pain, bronchospasm, rare cases of respiratory paralysis and cardiopulmonary arrest, eye irritation, burning, itching, corneal damage, and periorbital edema. And that’s just the imiprothrin. As for cypermethrin? Exposed lab rats give birth to offspring with developmental delays, produce abnormal sperm, and have increased genetic chromosomal abnormalities in bone marrow and spleen cells. It’s also classified as a possible human carcinogen because it causes an increase in the frequency of lung tumors in female mice. After household treatments, it persists in the air and on walls and furniture for about three months. But other than that, it’s completely safe. The irony is that the ants returned a week later, so it was all for naught. But this weekend a friend tipped us off about the wonders of a liquid boric acid concoction. We’ll report on its effectiveness after giving it a go. Brad’s rebuttal to Jenn’s rebuttal: “One week later” = 12 days later, which is how long she’s held off in letting me post this. The ants have returned to the bathroom, but via a different path, and not in force as before. Listen, I’m not proud of the chemicals, but it’s 0.01 percent concentration of each of them. I’m very happy to have a non-“thrin” method to try. The noxious cloud that made the bathroom smell sickly sweet and render it unusable for hours was the “country fresh scent.” Which, why the crap do they put that in there?

__label__cc	0.586818	0.413182	Who is The Directrice What is The Directrice Accumulated Wisdom Appreciating Refreshing, Restyling and Remaking Pontificating [1] I have a friend who grew up with three brothers. He tells me he did not know the difference between a dress and a skirt until he started college. He thought the words were synonyms. Synonyms for what exactly, I don’t know. When I shared this with my husband, he said, “What is the difference? Is a skirt the one that’s a half?” [back to post] [2] Each specific prohibition in the dress code (sample: no mesh shirts) clearly represents a transgression. Thus, the dress code can be read as a type of chronology. [back to post] [1] By “staid professions,” I mean law, business, insurance and accounting – as opposed to the “creative professions” of art, architecture, advertising, and design. [back to post] [2] The New York Times reported on blogger burnout in 2014, When Blogging Becomes a Slog, profiling the authors of Young House Love. I haven’t even launched this blog and I’m already a little tired. [back to post] [1] The summer after I finished college, I remember asking her opinion about a gingham suit (jacket and pants) and she told me that it looked like The Music Man. She was absolutely right. Gingham suit?! That’s trouble with a capital T. Fortunately, I was seeking her opinion in the store dressing room and not after making a purchase.[back to post] [2] In case you’re wondering, my mother never dressed us in matching, or even coordinated, outfits when I was a child. To her, it would have been unthinkable. [back to post] The Virtues of Patent Leather [1] These beliefs could be totally wrong, so you may want to consult an authority on the maintenance and care of leather. When caught in the rain, I’ve observed water beading on my patent leather shoes and bags; I dry them off as soon as I’m inside and they’ve suffered no damage. I’m not saying I’d put them in the wash. [back to post] [2] I love this book. Amazon reviewers are a little mixed: many big fans, but a minority of readers were deeply offended by dated or classist advice. Personally, I read the book with great enjoyment. I found much of the advice very good, and had no trouble shrugging off the parts that had no application to my life. [back to post] The Conversation-Stopping Necklace [1] According to my college dictionary (which was actually my father’s college dictionary), nonplussed (adj.) means being in “a condition of perplexity in which one is unable to go, speak, or act further.” I also consulted the Oxford Dictionaries on-line, and found nonplussed has a new, recently-added alternate meaning: “not disconcerted; unperturbed.” That’s right: the alternate meaning, which Oxford Dictionaries ascribes to “informal” usage, is the opposite of the primary meaning. That’s not informal use, it’s misuse, and a dictionary should know the difference. [back to post] Fifty Cent Dress [1] In case you are wondering, the business side of this atelier was a challenge; there weren’t many little girls in the neighborhood to sell these clothes to. Fortunately, the material was free and the labor didn’t exact any significant opportunity costs. [back to post] [2] Steep inflation during the 1970s did force several price increases and over time, and before we lost all interest in dolls, the 50 Cent Dress cost $1.25. [back to post] First Restatement of Business Casual [1] I generally wear Stringent Casual Monday through Wednesday. Friday, I wear jeans — except in the summer, when I often wear a sundress. Thursday (which I refer to, in my head, as “Free-fall Thursday”) is the bridge between the two; I wear Lax Casual then. Sometimes I even wear khakis. [back to post] The Case for Being Well-Dressed [1] You are keen to aesthetics if, when passing through a public space — say, the Dupont Circle Metro Station — you take note of its design and silently approve or lament the choices made there. (Metro! So many browns, not in harmony.) You are acutely sensitive to aesthetics if you arrange your groceries in pleasing still-lifes on the conveyor belt while waiting in the checkout line at the supermarket. You have a problem if you rush to arrange your groceries in pleasing arrangements while the clerk waits for you. I fall into this last group. [back to post] The Virtues of White Blouses [1] After reading Home Comforts, I asked a friend to buy Laundry for my next birthday. When my birthday arrived, she said, “I bought that book for you, but then I returned it — because I didn’t want to feed into your madness.” Fortunately, I’d made the suggestion to more than one person, and someone else delivered. [back to post] [1] The Economist ran a funny piece last winter about a Twitter feed called “Florida Man” — a persona that tweets links to the Sunshine State’s media coverage of bizarre misdeeds and crimes attributed to “a Florida man.” In trying to understand why Florida men are over-represented in the news of the weird, the Economist talked to people who’ve been reporting in Florida for years. Edna Buchanan, a Pulitzer-prize winning reporter for the Miami Herald, blamed the heat, remembering murders that were sparked by “fights over which member of the family gets the seat closest to the fan.” [back to post] Soft Pants v. Hard Pants [1] I flew from Washington D.C. to Kauai’i in 2005 — a long flight with a brief layover in Los Angeles. The Washingtonians disembarked in jeans, khakis and trousers. The Los Angelenos boarded and it looked like every one of them — man, woman and child — was wearing a track suit. I was amazed by their relaxed conformity; I had never seen so many people (outside of watching the Olympic opening ceremonies on TV) wearing the same thing. [back to post] [2] As with so many good things, I see the government’s fine hand behind this progress. So many technological innovations have their roots in research funded by the military and textiles are no exception. Soldiers need uniforms, parachutes and tents. [back to post] [3] Male resistance to structured pants appears to be taking root at earlier ages, as Dionne Searcey reported in the New York Times last week. Jeans? Some Boys Shout, “No Way!”[back to post] Needs a Bracelet [1] I just had an idea that is so revolutionary I am practically blowing my own mind. I am going to take that brooch to a jeweler and see if he can remove the pin and replace it with a magnet. If it’s a strong magnet, the attraction should hold through a velvet blazer, right? Stay tuned. [back to post] [2] For me and my beloved college room-mate, “David Yurman” has become shorthand for inconstancy. I told her years ago that I didn’t like David Yurman jewelry. The rope motif that ran through the line struck me as heavy, masculine and repetitive. But the look grew on me, until one day, I was a fan — and the owner of a dozen pieces. So, now when I express a distaste for something, Megan will say, “Is this going to be like the time you said you hated David Yurman and the next time I saw you, you were covered in it?” Yeah, Megan, maybe it will. [back to post] {1] My grasp on even the basics of Star Trek is very weak. My husband had lunch with Marc Okrand, the linguist who created the Klingon language for the Star Trek franchise, on February 27, which also happened to be day that Leonard Nimoy died. I said to my husband that evening, “Isn’t it a remarkable coincidence that you met the inventor of Klingon on the day Dr. Spock died?” My husband tactfully wiped his face clean of expression and said in a gentle voice, “Well . . . first, it’s Mr. Spock. Dr. Spock is the famous pediatrician. And second, Mr. Spock was a Vulcan, not a Klingon.” I tried! Leonard Nimoy, by all accounts, led a well-lived life: recovered alcoholic, devoted father, beloved colleague, supporter of the arts, philanthropist, and tolerant (if somewhat rueful and bemused) pop culture icon. On the subject of linguistics (Klingon!): I highly recommend In the Land of Invented Languages by Arika Okrent, which is delightful exploration of language and the human impulse (which apparently is both irrepressible and doomed) to try to devise better languages than those we already have. [back to post] April Showers Preparedness [1] There is something undeniably elegant about wearing a silk scarf that coordinates with your coat just while you are going to and fro. Remember in the movie Charade, when Regina Lampert (Audrey Hepburn) arrives at her apartment in Paris, prepared to tell her husband Charles that she wants a divorce? And she discovers that Charles is gone . . . along with everything in their apartment. Everything. The furniture is gone, the walls are bare, the closets are empty. And as she walks (and then runs) from room to room, trying to make sense of the scene — doubtless recalling that she had just been telling Sylvie that everything with Charles was secrets and lies — she unbuttons her coat and removes a silk scarf from her neck. Her life is collapsing, but she looks so chic. If you haven’t seen Charade, you must. It’s Stanley Donen’s third most charming movie — right after Singin’ in the Rain and Funny Face. You might also enjoy Jonathan Demme’s remake, The Truth About Charlie, in which Thandie Newton recreates the scene. [back to post] The Virtues of Large Scarves [1] Apparently, no one truly catches a chill. It’s Health Myth No. 1 according to this review of Don’t Swallow Your Gum in the New York Times. [back to post] [2] The CDC Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, of course. The things they know about the way we die (and injure ourselves) are amazing. It might take them 15-18 months to complete their analysis, but I have no doubt they would lay a rash of scarf-related injuries at my doorstep. [back to post] SpringSummer Bag [1] You may wonder why am I using the singular-plural indefinite form? Because, on the one hand, I don’t want to suggest that owning numerous handbags for each season is either typical or desirable. But on the other, I don’t want to create the impression that I only have one bag for winter and one bag for summer. I have a number of bags. But I don’t have lots of shoes! And I take public transportation to work![back to post] A Micro-Poll to Celebrate the 50th Post [1] While Harper and Posy have spent years validating the work of Sir Isaac Newton (First Law of Motion, Law of Universal Gravitation), there are credentialed physicists studying cats. If Harper and Posy could read, I am sure they would be pleased. [2] Nominations for the Nobel Prize in Physics are accepted only from persons invited to make nominations. While there is nothing explicitly excluding cats from consideration, the committee has never given the prize to a cat. There is also nothing explicitly excluding women from consideration, yet only two women have received this honor since the prize was first announced in 1901. Hmmmmmm. Voting with Your Wallet [1] If you haven’t seen the BBC adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskill’s novel, North & South, you now have plans for the weekend. It’s set against the backdrop of a textile mill in Victorian England but has everything: drama, romance, suspense (a little), a proposal that goes horribly sideways (worse than Mr. Darcy’s), and even a beautiful musical score. See Mr. Bates (Brendan Coyle) play an improbably foxy union organizer (Nicholas Higgins) — and he’s not even the romantic lead. Every day that you don’t watch this is a day you are depriving yourself of a significant treat.[back to post] When Work Goes to the Pool [1] If you read the Anne of Green Gables series as a child, you may now recall one of L.M. Montgomery’s most hilarious secondary characters, Cornelia Bryant, who is Anne’s neighbor when she moves to Four Winds Harbor (Anne’s House of Dreams). Miss Cornelia is an unmarried woman whose age I would guess is between 40 and 50; all of her conversations are peppered with the most withering stories about men who live in their village and conclude with the summation, “Isn’t that just like a man?” Miss Cornelia is not, however, a man-hater and eventually does marry — but remains resolute that almost any type of irrational, inconsiderate, ridiculous, stupid, or self-indulgent behavior is just like a man.[back to post] In YOOX We Trust [1] Any mention of past-season clothes brings to mind the discussion of Worth dresses in The Age of Innocence. Over dinner, Newland’s mother lamented the change in times, where women “flaunt their Paris fashions as soon as they were out of the Custom House, rather than letting them mellow under lock and key, in the manner of Mrs. Archer’s contemporaries.” Apparently, the women of New York society (c. 1850) laid their French dresses aside for a season while Bostonians (more conservative in this regard) put their advanced fashions away for two years . . . because “it was considered vulgar to dress in the newest fashions.” Oh no. Edith Wharton’s masterpiece is one of my all-time favorite books and if you like a little authentic heartache in your entertainments, and haven’t read it, you will not be disappointed. I also love Martin Scorsese’s film adaptation. [back to post] [2] If you like mysteries and are looking for recommendations, my favorites are (in no particular order): Josephine Tey (although I have a little crush on Inspector Alan Grant, the best ones — Brat Farrar and The Franchise Affair — are one-offs in which he does not figure); Sarah Caudwell (even if we never learn whether Professor Hilary Tamar is a man or a woman); Louise Penny (erudite, father-figure Inspector Armand Gamache, set in the Quebec province of Canada); and Dorothy Sayers (but only the ones with Harriet Vane). Also, I love the first two Lady Julia Grey mysteries by Deanna Raybourn.[back to post] Should I send you notice of new posts?

__label__cc	0.593946	0.406054	It's official, Senator Judd Gregg for Commerce Secretary Even Claire McCaskill said he was going to be nominated tomorrow on Rachel Maddow's show. President Barack Obama will nominate Republican Sen. Judd Gregg as commerce secretary, a White House official confirmed Monday. The announcement was set for Tuesday morning, said the official, speaking on the condition of anonymity. Gregg is a New Hampshire senator who would be the third Republican to join Obama's Cabinet, if confirmed. The others are Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Transportation Secretary Ray Lahood. Earlier Monday, Gregg revealed an apparent deal by which his Senate seat would stay out of Democratic hands if he were nominated. "I have made it clear to the Senate leadership on both sides of the aisle and to the governor that I would not leave the Senate if I felt my departure would cause a change in the makeup of the Senate," Gregg said in a statement. In other words a seat warmer for Gregg's seat and it will be wide open for 2010. Labels: judd gregg, Obama Administration judd gregg\|Obama Administration\|	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0023.json.gz/line3496
__label__wiki	0.911603	0.911603	All The Latest Sports News In One Place Els talks Tiger rivalry, elusive Presidents Cup December 9, 2019 by admin 0 Comments 5:42 PM ET MELBOURNE, Australia — Nobody has finished second to Tiger Woods more than Ernie Els, a testament to the South African’s stature in the game over the years as well as the frustration he faced in trying to beat the game’s top player. Els now has a different task in trying to bring an elusive Presidents Cup victory to the International squad in what has been a lopsided competition dating to its beginning in 1994. On the opposing side is Woods, the captain of the U.S. team who will also play in the competition that begins Thursday at Royal Melbourne, where Els holds the course record of 60. The Big Easy won’t be playing, however, simply bring a career’s worth of knowledge — and lots of scar tissue — to the competition that he’d very much like to see shift. “He’s not a bad golfer, you know what I mean,” Els said of Woods during a Tuesday morning news conference before both teams were to play practice rounds. “He’s one of the best, the best of my generation. It was a privilege to compete against him. I know I could have had a couple more events under my belt, but still very proud to have played against Tiger, and after all these years, to be friends with him is another privilege. “It’s been a long ride. I’ve known Tiger since the early ’90s when he was still a junior player, and we’ve shared a lot of moments together. A lot of tournaments come through my mind now where I’ve come close and lost to him, but there was a couple where I got him here and there. “But it’s been a real privilege to play in his era. Where the game of golf has gone in the last 24 years is just remarkable, and it could not be where it is today if it it wasn’t for Tiger Woods. “So with all that being said and done … we’d like to kick their asses this week here.” Els, 50, got a big laugh, but it appears a tall order. The U.S. side will be a heavy favorite in a competition it has dominated, going 10-1-1. The only victory was here at Royal Melbourne in 1998, a team Els played on. And the tie came in South Africa in 2003 when — under rules at the time — Woods and Els squared off in three epic holes of sudden death, with the competition finally being declared a draw. All 12 players on the American squad are ranked among the top 23 in the world, while the International side has just two players — Adam Scott and Hideki Matsuyama — ranked that high. Els has finished second to Woods seven times, including four times in major championships, twice in 2000 — by 15 shots at the U.S. Open and by eight at The Open. The two players have combined for more than 160 worldwide victories, including 19 major championships. But when it comes to the Presidents Cup, Els played on eight teams that went 1-6-1 against the Americans. But in the only victory, Els went 3-1-1. Woods went 2-3 that week, winning his singles match against Greg Norman, but the U.S. lost 20½ to 11½ with Jack Nicklaus as the captain. “The guys’ season ended around Nov. 1 and quite frankly most of the guys didn’t play,” Woods said. They put the clubs away. Rested for a month and a half, and we came down here. The guys just weren’t sharp. We didn’t come as prepared as we needed to be and the International team was loaded and they put it on us. They flat-out outplayed us and we couldn’t respond. Our games weren’t sharp enough to respond, and unfortunately that led to a blowout.” Only Dustin Johnson of the 12-man U.S. squad did not play last week at the Hero World Challenge in the Bahamas, where Woods finished fourth. The entire team and entourage including Johnson departed from the Bahamas on a charter flight on Saturday night and arrived 26 hours later on Monday morning. As part of a kick-off event on the Yarra River, Woods hit two balls in the water Monday afternoon, perhaps an ominous sign. Tuesday was spent trying to get acclimated and learn the golf course. “Today is an important day for us to just walk and to stretch our legs a bit,” Woods said. “Getting in yesterday after a 26-hour ride in a luxurious tin can, it’s nice to actually get out there and feel some fresh air.” This article was originally published by Espn.com.

__label__wiki	0.877224	0.877224	Experts find falling demand, syndication behind decrease in rawhide prices Dhaka, Aug 18 (UNB) – Experts have blamed the lack of policy, syndication by tanners, their ‘cash crunch’ and a fall in the demand for leather products for the unprecedented fall in the prices of rawhide of sacrificed animals this year. The drastic fall in rawhide prices forced seasonal traders in different districts, including Dhaka, Chattogram, Narayanganj, Narsingdi, Sylhet, Rajshahi and Khulna, to throw away thousands of pieces of rawhide of cows, goats and buffaloes during Eid-ul-Azha. Many also buried the rawhide under the ground failing to get the expected prices while others sold it at throwaway prices. Talking to UNB, a number of seasonal traders said cowhide was sold between Tk 100 and Tk 200 a piece this year whereas the usual price is around Tk 2,000. Rezaul Bepari, seasonal rawhide trader from Shariatpur, said he bought 200 pieces of rawhide this year at Tk 150-Tk 250 apiece but wholesalers offered him less than the purchasing prices for those. “I have been doing the business for many years. Once there’s a huge demand for rawhide and it was a profitable business. But the price is now very low. Besides, there’s no value of goat hide this year,” he said. President of Consumers Association of Bangladesh (CAB) Ghulam Rahman said a syndicate by unscrupulous businessmen might be behind the drastic slump in rawhide prices. “Tannery owners claimed in one hand that they couldn’t yet sell their last year’s leather, but they’re urging the government not to allow rawhide export on the other hand.” Actually, they are trying to make extra profits through this but it cannot be allowed, he said. Ghulam Rahman said the prices of finished leather products are high here and so there is no logical reason behind the fall in rawhide prices. “The matter should be investigated thoroughly and punishment must be meted out to the dishonest businessmen.” Md Shaheen Ahmed, Chairman of Bangladesh Tanners Association (BTA), claimed that tannery owners are facing a cash crunch as they had to make huge investments for relocating tanneries to Savar from Hazaribagh. He also said around 30-40 percent tanneries are yet to start production after their relocation to Savar from Hazaribagh in 2017. Abdur Rahman, a sales executive of GM Leather Collection of the city, said the demand for natural rawhide has seen a decline as the markets here are flooded with artificial leather goods. “Prices of footwear or other leather products depend on quality. A pair of shoes made from genuine leather is sold at Tk 4,000-Tk 10,000 but shoes made from artificial leather is sold at Tk 1500-Tk 3500,” he added. Rahman also said at least five pairs of shoes can be produced from a cowhide. “But there’s a lengthy process to make a pair of shoes and it shoots up the production cost.” Dr Mohammad Mahfuz Kabir, research director of Bangladesh Institute of International and Strategic Studies (BIISS), said rawhide prices went down unprecedentedly this year due to the absence of timely and proper decision by the government. “The rawhide prices would not have seen the drastic fall had the government taken the export decision earlier. There should a policy reform that rawhide can be exported during Eid season only,” he said. Meanwhile, madrasas that received thousands of pieces of rawhide in donation during Eid-ul-Azha failed to sell those due to reluctance from merchants. Mufti Monirul Islam, a teacher of Qawmi madrasa in Keraniganj, said they used to earn Tk several lakh from the sales of rawhide every year in the past which could meet almost 70 percent of the madrasa’s expenses. “But we could manage little money from rawhide sales this time following cheap rate. We’re worried about bearing the cost of orphans this year,” he said. According to the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB), Bangladesh earned $1.01 billion by exporting leather, leather goods and leather footwear in the fiscal year of 2018-19. The export earnings from the leather sector were $1.08 billion in the FY2017-18. Mirpur overnight fire turns lives of thousands upside down Dhaka, Aug 17 (UNB) – There is nothing new in slum fire in Dhaka city. When it happens, it leaves thousands of people in deep despair. Over 20,000 slum dwellers turned paupers within hours in Friday night’s fast-moving fire in the city’s Mirpur area. “We’ve lost all that we had -- fans, utensils, clothes and money whatever. We’ve been left with nothing,” said Khaleda Begum, a resident of the Chalantika Slum in Mirpur area. Almost all the shanties -- around 3,000 in number -- were gutted by the fire that was doused after six hours of frantic efforts. “I saw the fire erupting from a room owned by Farid and came out of the slum to save our lives leaving the belongings behind,” said a devastated Khaleda, 35, wife of rickshaw-puller Belal who used to live in a hut of the slum for Tk 2,700 per month. She said she could save nothing of her belongings as she was more concerned about the safety of life. Like Khaleda, all the inmates of the slum lost everything to the devastating fire that originated at a shanty around 7:22pm on Friday before being fully doused around 1:30am on Saturday. Slum dwellers claimed that the fire originated from a room owned by Farid, a dentist quack, who possessed eight rooms at the slum. However, authorities concerned were yet to confirm it. Minara Begum, 35, wife of Siddique Hossain, bought four rooms from Farid five months ago. She was living in two of those while the rest two were rented to others. “I saw flames flickering from a locked room owned by Farid and shouted for help.” The fire might have been originated from a gas cylinder or electrical short circuit, she said. Monwara Begum, wife of Iskander Shikder, who had been living in the slum for the last three decades, owned 12 rooms. She along with her five children and husband used to reside in two of them and rented 10 others out to others for Tk 1,000-Tk 2,000 each. “Everything I had got destroyed overnight,” she said. Rehana, 30, along with her husband Jewel and two sons -- Shaheen, 10 and Sabbir, 7 -- had been living in a room at Tk 2,000 per month. “I stormed out of the slum along with my two sons as soon as I noticed the blaze without thinking of saving the belongings,” she said. While inmates said there were some 3,000 shanties in the slum, local MP Elias Mollah put the figure at 20,000-25,000. The slum was established on around 25- 30 bighas of government wetland where the influential built houses on bamboo and wood pillars and rented those out to low-income people. The slum had narrow entrances on all four sides. Md Rezaul Karim, assistant director of Fire Service and Civil Defence, on Saturday morning said an investigation committee will be formed soon to find out the reason behind the fire. Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) Mayor Atiqul Islam and local MP Elias Mollah visited the spot on Friday night. Talking to reporters at the spot, the mayor said shelter centres were opened at local schools for the victims while the city corporation would arrange food for them. According to the World Bank, Dhaka has got a population of over 1.80 crore with some 35 lakh living in slums. Dengue robs many families of their Eid joy Dhaka, Aug 17 (UNB) – Unlike previous years, Eid joy eluded septuagenarian Ambia Khatun this time. She could not celebrate Eid-ul-Azha with her grandchildren as she is fighting against dengue lying on a hospital bed. On Wednesday, two days after the second largest religious festival of Muslims, one of her grandchildren was also hospitalised with dengue, adding to her agony. Ambia, a resident of Jinjira in Keraniganj on the outskirts of the capital, was admitted to Sir Salimullah Medical College and Mitford Hospital on the Eid day on August 12 as she was suffering from dengue. She is not the only person of the family to be infected with the mosquito-borne disease but also her grandson Yasin Hossain, 9, granddaughter Sabina, 22, and Sabina’s husband have had the disease. Of them, Yasin was taken to the same hospital on Wednesday. Although the two others made recovery, they still have to visit hospitals for tests. “We’ve been living in Jinjira for the last 50 years but never saw such a mosquito menace. The dengue outbreak has turned dangerous due to the negligence of the two Dhaka city corporations. The authorities concerned take rest in AC rooms but don’t spray mosquito repellent or clean areas,” she told UNB. Ambia said she first complained of high temperature and stomachache on August 9. “I thought the temperature will subside before the Eid day but the physical condition was deteriorating day by day. When I was admitted to the hospital on the Eid day, my blood platelet count was 79,000. It has come down to 24,000 now.” She said doctors are giving her saline, and paracetamol thrice a day but she is yet to make recovery. The elderly woman also accused some nurses and ayas of being rude. “They’re rude. The environment at the hospital is not clean either…toilets are very dirty. How patients will recover?” Another patient, Yasin Hossain, hailing from Dholaikhal in the capital said he was admitted to the hospital three days ago with dengue. “Although the fever subsided, I’m yet to recover fully. I’m taking medicines and rest here,” he said expressing the hope that he will be discharged from the hospital soon. Duty doctor Sharmin told UNB that they arranged spaces on different floors as there is a huge pressure of dengue patients at the hospital. Besides, many patients go back after taking treatment, she said. “Generally, we keep patients here for 3-4 days. If patient’s condition worsens and the blood platelet count comes down below 150,000, the duration might be increased.” Gayatri Debi Mondol, nurse supervisor of the hospital, said there were 379 dengue patients as of Friday noon. Of them, 72 patients were admitted on Friday. “The number of dengue patients is increasing here day by day. Many throng the hospital with fever but we allow only real dengue patients to get admitted after the blood test. We try to serve patients better here,” she said. She also said four people died of dengue at the hospital this week. Mentioning that Aedes mosquitos are born within 48 hours from larvae, the nurse supervisor said the city corporations should spray repellant regularly to destroy the larvae. Senior staff nurse Selina Khatun said she was serving at the Dengue Ward on the hospital’s second building where 100 beds were installed for dengue patients but 112 are currently taking treatment there. During a visit to Dhaka Medical College Hospital (DMCH), this correspondent found huge dengue patients lying on floors for lack of beds although Sheikh Hasina National Institute of Burn And Plastic Surgery is now being used as the dengue unit. Sharifa Begum, 45, who came from Hazaribagh of the city, said she has been suffering from dengue for the last several days. “I’m on the floor as I didn’t get any bed. Doctors and nurses come here and provide me treatment,” she said. A Dhaka Medical College student, Iti Akhter, told UNB that she was admitted to the hospital on August 8 with dengue. “I couldn’t go to my village home in Pirojpur to celebrate Eid. I was infected with dengue when I was staying in a mess-house at Chankharpool.” She, however, said her condition is now better. “I’ll be released from the hospital shortly.” According to the Directorate General of Health Services (DGHS), at least 1,460 patients infected with dengue were admitted to hospitals in last 24 hours till Saturday morning.

Prisoners spending productive time in Cumilla jail Cumilla, Aug 17 (UNB) – Things in Cumilla Central Jail are no longer monotonous or painful for its prisoners as the prison authorities have allowed them to spend their time in a productive way. The jail authorities have engaged them in various income-generating activities like making handicrafts and other products, aiming to make them both self-reliant and skilled ones. The jail authorities have been providing training to its convicted male and female prisoners in handicraft production with a view to improving their skills so that they do not get involved in crimes again when they will be out of jail and earn their livelihoods on their own, jail officials said. They said the products made by the prisoners in the jail are being sold at the prison’s sales and exhibition centre, and different fairs in the capital as well. According to them, more than 300 prisoners have been making handicraft items and nakshikantha in the jail. Shahanaz Begum, Deputy Jailer of Cumilla Central Jail, said the handicraft products are being sold at the prison’s sales and exhibition centre round the year. The products made by the prisoners here have a high demand at the annual Dhaka International Trade Fair and other fairs, she said adding the prisoners are receiving their fair shares from the sales of their products, which is bringing a positive mental change in them, too. When they will return to the normal life after serving their jail terms, they will not remain unemployed for long as they are becoming skilled human resources, said Forkan Wahid, Jailer of the Cumilla Central Jail. The Cumilla District Jail, which was turned into a central jail in 1962, now has some 3,000 prisoners against its capacity of accommodating 1,742. Sylhet farmers upbeat about Jara Lemon farming amid growing export Sylhet, Aug 16 (UNB) – Jara Lemon, a special kind of lemon grown by farmers in Jaintapur and Goainghat upazilas, appeares to be a profit-making fruit as it is being exported after meeting the local demand. Its cultivation is gaining popularity among farmers as more than 200 families in the two upazilas have become self-reliant by cultivating the fruit. Chiknagul, Haripur, and Fatehpur in Jaintapur uapzila, and Banigram in Goainghat upazila are suitable for Jara Lemon cultivation due to its hilly lands. Jara Lemon is being commercially cultivated in Shyampur, Haripur, Agerkhal, Shikarkhan, Uthlarpar villages under Foteypur union; Umanpur, Panichhara, Thakurer Mati villages under Chiknagul union; Kalinanjibari in Nijpat union and Banigram village under Fatehpur union in Goainghat upazila. It is being exported to the UK, the USA, Singapore, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the UAE and other parts of the Middle East. Abdul Jabbar, a farmer of Bagerkhal village in Jaintapur upazila, said,” We're cultivating Jara Lemon commercially now but our ancestors used to produce it only to meet the family need.” Another farmer, Shamsul Islam, said they used to receive fertilizers and insecticides from the government in the past but now they do not get any such support. “If we get good quality seeds and necessary training, the production will be much higher than what it is now,” he added. Shamsul further said he made a profit of Tk 1 lakh in the current season from Jara cultivation with five labourers working in his lemon garden. Farmers of these areas are showing more interest in Jara farming due to its high production and better prospect of making profit. Dr Mahmudul Hasan Nazrul, the chief scientific officer of Jaintapur Citrus Research Center, said the land and weather of Jaintapur are very much suitable for citrus fruit cultivation. The research centre has been providing regular training and seeds to the local farmers, he added.

__label__wiki	0.842518	0.842518	Travels in 21st-Century Music and Digital Culture by Jace Clayton aka DJ Rupture A chapter-by-chapter selection of audio/video clips featuring the music referenced in Uproot, with endnotes and links to explore further! Chapter Two Auto-Tune Gives You a Better Me There’s a lot of hard-to-find music in this chapter, so I’ve gathered some of my favorite Berber Auto-Tune songs here. Hafida Let’s start with the exempary Hafida! This was the style that first caught my ear back in the early 2000s when I was living in Barcelona. Hafida’s sound is fairly of this style of Amazigh wedding music. All-female backing bands like hers are a rarity in Morocco. Some of Jamila Tamntaght's videos Adil El Miloudi Next up is Adil El Miloudi. These days he's more of a straightforward Moroccan pop star. That said, he has released several albums in the style of this first clip, where Auto-Tuned vocals sit atop all-acoustic arrangements of utar (a Berber string instrument) and percussion. “ ‘Auto-Tune gives you a better me,’ said Adil without missing a beat.” (p.38) After the Adil utar song comes "Inas Inas," the final single from utar master Mohammed Rouicha, who passed away in 2012. As the premier utarist/vocalist, Rouicha never used vocal processing, although there’s light Auto-Tuning on the female chorus in this song. Before and After Auto-Tune Time for some comparison listens: here’s the same song, performed in the 1980s by Fatima Tihihit with acoustic instrumentation, and versioned by SaadiaTihihit in 2012. Songs like this next one by Wary were what led me to interview him int he first place. His production is audibly expat insofar as Wary makes a pastiche of various regional sounds: the melody line in "Sallama" comes from an old song by Berber group Archach, to which he adds a reggada kick drum pattern, and so on. Following that's a reggada track from the Nojoum Wislane compilation. Note how the male and female voices are Auto-Tuned differently -- the female soprano gets a more extreme treatment. The timbre of her voice nearly matches that of the violin. Auto-Tuned Reggada Amazigh musicians Hassan Wargui, Abdellah Kabbani, and their circle of friends make a brief appearance in this chapter. Hassan reappears in Chapter 7: Tools; head there for more media and notes on his work. While in Casablanca I helped Hassan (aka Imanaren) get his album of great, original songwriting up on Bandcamp. His the complex fate of a proudly independent musician in a country with little to no independent music industry. This video begins in Casablanca. Around 2 minutes in you see the sidewalk vendors on Avenue Mohammed VI. Then the scene cuts to the Issafen village in south Morocco. Hassan Wargui Dolly Parton's 1974 debut TV performance of “I Will Always Love You” is an incredibly complex thing. She wrote the song for her former partner Porter Wagoner, who had recently sued her for 3 million dollars, and first performed it in one of her last appearances on his show. Is this shade? Look at the tension captured in her hands! This is not a love song. I’m pairing it with Taiwanese singing show contestant Lin Yu Chun’s meticulous re-performance of Whitney Houston’s version of Parton’s song, which Elvis wanted to buy but couldn't because Dolly Parton knew. Those looking for an (Auto-Tune free) introduction to Maghrebi music can start with the compilation album Couscous Beat: The Authentic Flavour of North Africa. Track selection and liner notes make it stand above similar compilations. Perhaps the greatest single piece of media about 70s/80s Moroccan music is Ahmed El Maânouni's lyrical documentary Transes (1981), about Nass El Ghiwane. Both band and director are from Casablanca. I discuss a Nass El Ghiwane song in detail in Chapter 9: How To Hold On. I am a devoted fan of Atlantic Radio -- their programming switches, abruptly, between Francophile pop and classic 70s/80s Moroccan songs. The latter air during East Coast US early evenings (and very late nights in Morocco). Frieze Magazine published by first article on Auto-Tune: “Pitch Perfect.” On page 52 I quote Katherine E. Hoffman's article “Berber language ideologies, maintenance, and contraction: Gendered variation in the indigenous margins of Morocco,” [pdf]. Her discussion of the female voice in Berber culture was helpful in thinking through these issues. Kristina Nelson's The Art of Reciting the Qur'an is a comprehensive book on the topic that includes fascinating looks into its musical influence. While this chapter spends time with popular Moroccan music, two recent books are excellent resources on literary Morocco. The first is Souffles-Anfas: A Critical Anthology from the Moroccan Journal of Culture and Politics. "Founded in 1966 by Abdellatif Laâbi and a small group of avant-garde Moroccan poets and artists and banned in 1972, Souffles-Anfas was one of the most influential literary, cultural, and political reviews to emerge in postcolonial North Africa. An early forum for tricontinental postcolonial thought and writing, the journal published texts ranging from experimental poems, literary manifestos, and abstract art to political tracts, open letters, and interviews by contributors from the Maghreb, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and the Americas." Poems for the Millennium, Volume Four: The University of California Book of North African Literature is an 800-page marvel containing a wealth of North African verse, from medieval treatises to Berber folklore to contemporary song lyrics. ←Confessions of a DJ How Music Travels→ Welcome to the Listening Guide, a chapter-by-chapter selection of audio/video clips featuring the music referenced in the book, with endnotes and links to explore further!

But there is plenty of documentary evidence, as well as a wonderful array of records concerning the White Lady of the Hohenzollerns who makes her appearance In the old palace at Berlin whenever death Is about to overtake a member of the reigning house of Prussia. The late Emperor Frederick In particular was greatly interested In the matter and collected all the evidence that he could upon the subject for the purpose of depositing it In the archives of his family; Perhaps the most Important piece of testimony in this connection are the sworn statements signed by Prince Frederick of Prussia and a number of his fellows, to all of whom the White Lady is declared to have appeared as they sat together on the eve of the Prince’s death at the battle of Saalfeld in 1806.

So he refused to take any further medicine, turned his face to the wall, and died. It seems that this White Lady of the Hohenzollern was originally the Countess Agnes von Orlamunde, who murdered her First husband, as well as her two children, in order to be enabled to marry the Burgrave of Nuremberg, the ancestor of the Electors of Brandenburg and of the house of Hohenzollern. The triple murder Is asserted to have taken place within the precincts of this palace… Eduard Ernst Friedrich Hannibal Vogel von Falckenstein (5 January 1797 – 6 April 1885) John Murray, A Hand-book for Travellers on the Continent: Being a Guide Through Holland, Belgium, Prussia, and Northern Germany (London: John Murray and Son, 1840), p 472 “Baron Rothschild’s Villa, outside the Bockenheim Gate, is fitted up with taste, elegance, and splendour; strangers applying at the Baron’s house in the town, are sometimes admitted to see it; the garden attached to it is richly stored with rare plants, and is very neatly kept.” Visit to Natural History Museum in Frankfurt Randall is referring to Tad Lincoln (1853-1871), the youngest son of Abraham and Mary Todd Lincoln.

__label__wiki	0.978606	0.978606	The Tick (1994 TV series) Ben Edlund by Ben Edlund Micky Dolenz (1994–95) Rob Paulsen (1995–96) Kay Lenz Doug Katsaros Joe Bacall Tom Griffin Hank Tucker 30 minutes (including commercials) Akom Production Company Fox Children's Productions 20th Television Fox Broadcasting Company (Fox Kids) September 10, 1994 – The Tick is an American animated television series adaptation of the New England Comics satirical superhero The Tick. The series aired for three seasons from 1994 to 1996 on the Fox network's Fox Kids block, which introduced the character to a mainstream audience. The Tick has been syndicated by various networks, further increasing the show's cult following, and has been released on both VHS and DVD. A live-action series aired in 2001, with Amazon launching a second live-action series in 2016. The Tick was also shown on Teletoon in Canada as part of its Toonaholics Anonymous block in 2001 and on Jetix in the United States. 3 Principal voice actors 3.1 Notable additional voice cast 5.1 Series overview 5.2 Season 1 (1994–95) 5.4 Season 3 (1996) 6 Home release 7 Critical reception 8 Awards and nominations 8.1 Annie Awards 8.2 Daytime Emmy Awards 9 Merchandising While still in college, Tick creator Ben Edlund was producing his independent comic book series The Tick based on the character. He was eventually approached by Kiscom, a small, New Jersey-based toy licensing and design company. Kiscom wanted to merchandise The Tick, much in the way that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, a rival independent comic series, had been merchandised the previous year. Major TV networks and studios were reluctant to take on an animated series based on the absurd character. Kiscom stayed in touch with Edlund and finally Sunbow Entertainment, the small, New York-based animation company that created The Transformers, G.I. Joe, and The Mask, paired him up with writer Richard Liebmann-Smith. Neither had any experience in animation or television, but for two months they worked vigorously on the first episode of The Tick. Neither man held high esteem for their final script, and their feelings were validated when FOX turned down the first pitch. They were given one more chance to refine it in five days. Over one weekend, they worked "instinctively" with little sleep and ended up satisfying FOX. Edlund later reflected, "We kind of defined in one weekend exactly where the show went for that first season, which was cool." While some darker characters and sexual innuendo seen in the comic series would be removed for its animated counterpart, Sunbow's Tick series would hold to its satirical roots. Writing duties were also given to Christopher McCulloch who had met Edlund prior to their television work and wrote several issues of the Tick comic book series. They would much later work together on McCulloch's Adult Swim series, The Venture Bros.. Edlund, a co-producer of The Tick, remained very hands-on during production, causing delays. According to Edlund: “ There was a period where I was extremely attentive to everything that had to be solved, and these efforts ultimately made the show a year late. I saw the storyboards that were being done and realized that if The Tick were animated off of those, it would fall apart. It would be a shadow of what it is now, which is something that isn't massively successful, but has this real staying power. So now instead of looking like bad '90s animation, it kind of looks like bad '70s superhero animation, which definitely has a unique style about it. ” The Tick finally premiered on September 10, 1994 and was a success. Edlund later expressed his view that, because the series did not reach the commercial heights of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, its merchandising success deteriorated by the end of its first season. However, he admitted "That's essentially good as far as I'm concerned; although, I would be much more wealthy at this point. That failure, to me, makes The Tick a much more sincere proposal." Rather than being an asylum escapee, as portrayed in the Tick comic book series, the animated version of The Tick crashes a superhero convention to win the "protectorship" of The City. With its emphasis on superhero parody, The Tick became a Saturday morning staple during the Fox Kids block. Its title character was voiced by Townsend Coleman and his sidekick, Arthur, by Micky Dolenz for Season 1. Rob Paulsen took over the latter role for Seasons 2 and 3. The series also features exclusive allies to the Tick like Die Fledermaus, a shallow, self-absorbed Batman parody; Sewer Urchin, a sea urchin-themed Aquaman parody who resembles Dustin Hoffman's character in Rain Man; and American Maid, a more noble superheroine featuring aspects of Wonder Woman and Captain America. The show's opening theme, written by Doug Katsaros, who also composed the scores for every episode, consists of big band music and campy scat singing. A typical episode plot would have The Tick battling a villain until Arthur devises a solution that saves the day. The Tick then declares an absurd moral regarding the previous conflict before the story comes to a close. Although the series was initially aimed primarily at children, it features an absurdist style that appeals to an older audience as well. After three seasons, The Tick's final episode aired November 24, 1996. The following year, FOX began talks with Sunbow Entertainment about producing a prime time Tick special, but this never came to fruition. Comedy Central syndicated The Tick during this time and subsequently helped make it a cult hit with adults.[1] In May 2000, the pilot episode for a live action series of The Tick was completed. FOX attempted to capitalize on the growing adult fan base by introducing this new incarnation in November 2001, but the series couldn't match the success of its animated predecessor. In June 2005, Toon Disney began airing The Tick along with other former FOX animated series like X-Men. It would also occasionally air on ABC Family as part of the Jetix cartoon block. Main article: List of The Tick characters The Tick is a superhero who underwent the tryouts at the National Super Institute in Reno, Nevada where superheroes who pass will be assigned to the best cities to protect from crime. Upon passing the tryouts, he is assigned to The City where he befriends a former accountant named Arthur whom he takes on as a sidekick. With the aid of Die Fledermaus, American Maid, Sewer Urchin, and other superheroes, the Tick and Arthur protect The City from bad guys like Chairface Chippendale, Breadmaster, El Seed, The Terror, and others who would harm it.

Home release The first two episodes of The Tick, as well as Season 3's "The Tick vs Arthur," were released on VHS in 1995 and 1998 by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment though the Fox Kids Video label. On August 29, 2006, Buena Vista Home Entertainment released the first season of The Tick on DVD as The Tick vs. Season One. This collection contains only 12 of the 13 episodes. On May 31, 2006, Disney released the following statement regarding the missing episode: "Due to licensing problems, episode #11 ("The Tick vs. The Mole Men") is not included. However, we hope to include it in future DVD releases of The Tick".[2] The UK edition of the first season, released the following year, presented all 13 episodes. The second season of The Tick, entitled The Tick vs. Season Two, was released on August 7, 2007.[3] This DVD release is not the complete set, however, as it is missing the episode "Alone Together." This episode features Omnipotus, a parody of Galactus (though earlier episodes used similar comic book parodies, and are available on the DVD releases). In the August 6, 2006 entry of his blog, Christopher McCulloch, the writer for all of the omitted episodes, states that he does not know the reason for the exclusion of episode #11 from the Season 1 DVD. The UK edition contains all 13 season 2 episodes. In the UK, Liberation Entertainment Ltd. released all three seasons, complete with no missing episodes and all presented uncut and unedited. During its original run, The Tick was nominated for several Annie Awards as well as Emmys and, in 1995, won two of the former. In March 2008, Wizard magazine ranked The Tick #16 on its Top 100 Greatest Cartoons.[4] In January 2009, IGN ranked The Tick #6 on its Top 100 Animated Series list. IGN went on to regard it "the first great lampooning of the superhero genre" and compared the series to Mel Brooks and Monty Python.[5] 1995 Best Individual Achievement for Creative Supervision in the Field of Animation Ben Edlund (co-producer) Won Best Individual Achievement for Writing in the Field of Animation Ben Edlund, Richard Liebmann-Smith for "The Tick vs. Arthur's Bank Account" Won Best Animated Television Program The Tick Nominated 1997 Best Animated TV Program The Tick Nominated Best Individual Achievement: Voice Acting by a Male Performer in a TV Production Townsend Coleman for playing The Tick Nominated 1996 Outstanding in Animation Andres Nieves, Claude Denis, Phillip Kim, David Manners, Richard Liebmann-Smith, Susan Blu, Larry Latham, Elaine Hultgren, Chuck Harvey, Christopher McCulloch, Hank Tucker and Ben Edlund Nominated Outstanding Sound Editing - Special Class Marty Stein, David John West, Rick Hinson, Anthony Torretto, Chris Fradkin and Terry Reiff Nominated 1997 Outstanding Sound Mixing - Special Class Stuart Calderon, Deb Adair, John Boyd and David John West Nominated Main article: List of The Tick merchandise While the Tick comic book series included some extras, such as trading cards, merchandising of The Tick increased dramatically with the launch of the animated series. Action figures, pogs, T-shirts, hats, party favors, costumes, and a board game were representative. In addition, many fast food restaurant chains such as Carl's Jr. and Taco Bell offered Tick-related give-aways. Fox Interactive also published a beat 'em up video game based on the animated series and released it on the Super NES and Sega Genesis. The game was criticized for having very long stages with ridiculous hordes of generic enemies to combat and a nonsensical ending. In 1997, the year following the series' end, Greg Hyland's The Tick: Mighty Blue Justice! was published as a tie-in with the series. ^ Reber, Deborah Tick Fever Endures: Ben Edlund Talks About the Evolution of Everyone's Favorite Blue Superhero Animation World Magazine, Issue 2.4 (July 1997).

It travels from the Florida state line south-southeast of Thomasville, Georgia, through Albany and Atlanta, to the North Carolina state line at a point north of Lake Nottely.[1] 1 Route description 3 Major intersections U.S. Route 19 in Atlanta This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (November 2014) Find sources: "U.S. Route 19 in Georgia" – news · newspapers · books · scholar · JSTOR (June 2017) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) US 19 enters Georgia in a concurrency with SR 3 and SR 300 as the Georgia-Florida Parkway south-southeast of Thomasville. Within the vicinity of Thomasville, it has a concurrency with US 84 where it has intersections with Georgia State Route 122 and U.S. Route 319 before US 84 finally branches off to the west. It continues north, traveling through Meigs where it intersects SR 3 ALT and SR 111. Later, it runs through Albany, where it becomes a limited-access highway, has a brief concurrency with US 82, and the concurrency with SR 300 comes to an end. Further north, it runs through Americus, where it joins US 280 for one mile, then Ellaville, where it intersects SR 26. Between Taylor and Upson County, it has a concurrency with US 80 that ends south of Thomaston, and later runs through Zebulon where it runs in a one-way pair and intersects SR 18. It joins US 41 and proceeds north to Griffin. It then proceeds through the western tip of Henry County, traveling through Hampton, home of the Atlanta Motor Speedway. US 19 continues north through Clayton County where it is known as Tara Boulevard, before entering Atlanta. Within Atlanta, US 19/US 41 runs along Northside Drive where it is joined by US 29/Georgia Connecting Route 3 (Chapel Street Southwest). From there, US 19/29/41/SR 3 runs north and then curves northeast, passing by a group of condominiums called "The Villages of Castleberry Hill," before the road curves straight north between Nelson Street Southwest and Markham Street Southwest. Here the routes run along the west side of the Mercedes-Benz Stadium next door to the Georgia World Congress Center. US 29 leaves the concurrency with US 19/41 in the vicinity Georgia Tech, and turns northwest onto US 78/US 278/SR 8, which leaves US 19/41 to go west. The highway briefly curves northeast as it passes over some Norfolk Southern Railway lines, then turns north again at a partial interchange with Tech Parkway Northwest. Leaving the vicinity of Georgia Tech, it splits from US 41/SR 3 after traveling through downtown Atlanta and turns right onto on 14th Street, which is also the western beginning of SR 9. One block after the interchange with I-75/85 (the Downtown Connector) in Midtown, it has an intersection with a one-way pair with Spring Street (Southbound US 19) before turning north on Peachtree Street The one-way pair ends at the vicinity of a complex interchange with Georgia State Route 13 and the Savannah College of Art and Design Atlanta Campus, just south of a crossing over I-85, which includes the historic Peachtree (Amtrak station). After several miles, it intersects SR 141 in Buckhead, where Peachtree Street continues. It follows Roswell Road north through the city of Sandy Springs. At its southern interchange with I-285, it splits from SR 9, and overlaps I-285 between Exits 25 and 27, the latter of which is for SR 400, which it overlaps north of there. Most of this section is a limited-access road with four lanes in each direction, becoming two lanes in each direction as the highway continues away from the northern suburbs of Atlanta. It arrives in Dahlonega, where it is no longer concurrent with SR 400, before about 37 miles (60 km) of extremely curvy road, which includes a concurrency with US 129. From the north side of the state, the last major town it travels through is Blairsville. Northwest from there, US 19/129/SR 11 passes the southwest border of the Butternut Creek Golf Course before entering Youngstown. The road turns north again where it utilizes a short causeway over Wellborn Branch, a tributary of the Nottely River before intersecting the northern terminus of Pat Haralson Memorial Drive, and across from this a local marina with a gas station/convenience store, small bait & tackle store and gift shop before the intersection with Pat Colwell Road. Random current and former boating and automotive-related businesses can be found along the way even as the road enters Canal Lake where another short causeway that makes a pond leading to Stevens Branch Creek, and is served by the Nottely Marina. Between an antique store and a furniture store, a power line right-of-way crosses from southeast to northwest as it heads over a mountain, and the road runs along the east side of that power line. Moving further away from those power lines, the road passes by a Cott Beverages production facility.[2] A third causeway that creates a pond for Ivylog Creek, whereas further north a small culvert over Conley Creek is not used as a dam. Flashing lights on the top and bottom of the two signal crossing signs are an indication the routes are about to enter Ivylog where the eastern terminus of Georgia State Route 325 can be found across from Ivy Log Road. North of the heart of Ivy Log, the Ivy Log Cemetery can be found hidden away in a driveway among more residential zoning. The rest of the surroundings are primarily farm and ranch land even as it runs under another power line right-of-way running from southwest to northeast south of T Chapel Road. The last two intersections in the State of Georgia are local roads, the first named Tate Road and a dead end street named B. King Lane which leads to an antique store. A gas station and strip mall can be found on the southwest corner of the North Carolina state line, where SR 11 meets its northern terminus, while US 19 continues towards Erie, Pennsylvania and US 129 continues towards Knoxville, Tennessee. The following portions of US 19 in Georgia is part of the National Highway System, a system of routes determined to be the most important for the nation's economy, mobility, and defense: From the Florida state line to the I-75 interchange west of Morrow From the SR 13 interchange in Atlanta to the North Carolina state line.[3][4][5][6] This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (October 2014) U.S. 19 has been gradually four-laned since the 1950s. Initially, this was in the urban areas, but Georgia began four-laning the route through most of the rural sections of the state in the 1990s. The section from Griffin to Thomaston was four-laned by the early 1990s, while the section from Thomaston to Leesburg was completed in sections between 2000-2010. In 2006, business and government officials in Southwest Georgia began a campaign to have I-185 extended to Monticello, Florida, and connect with I-10. The proposed route of the highway would have traveled parallel to SR 520 (known as "Corridor Z") to Albany, and then parallel to US 19.[7] Local opposition to the plan soon emerged.[8] Critics argued that the proposed interstate would siphon business from small towns that the new road bypassed.[9] In 2009, Georgia's Department of Transportation concluded a two-year study of the proposal, which found that extending I-185 would "be inconsistent with existing comprehensive land use plans; would have a negative impact on prime agricultural land, forests and cultural assets; and could have a detrimental impact on poverty and minority populations".[10] GDOT announced it would instead focus on upgrading and improving other key arterial highways in southwest Georgia, including SR 133 between Albany and Valdosta.

Accenture's annual holiday shopping survey, reported on by Business Insider, finds that U.S. consumers are more interested in giving and receiving thrifted items. More than half of those who responded said they would consid- er giving someone a secondhand present, and a similar number said they would welcome such gifts. Economists say those numbers coincide with a rapid- ly growing resale market, which is expected to top $51 billion by 2023, according to ThredUp. Certain retailers, including Macy's and J.C. Penney are partnering with ThredUp and others to sell such secondhand items. Denise Mudge, of Cumberland, said her family is full of big readers and loves giving and receiving books from thrift stores. "We don't care where the books come from, and a lot of times the thrift store books look brand new," she said. Much of this trend, according to the experts, is being driven by more shoppers trying to be environmentally conscious. Accenture's study found enthusiasm across the age ranges for thrifted gifts.

Click on the following image to read the original press-release of "Testa piena d'orche" or click here to download it as a .pdf file. Testa piena d'orche [excerpt] AFE099LCD "Rest Your Eyes On Verdant Soil" Ambient / Drone Music. Detail coming soon. [more] [to be released] "Aperture of the Internal Surface" Dark Ambient / Sound Art / Experimental. Pholde is the dark ambient project of sound artist Alan Bloor who is also known for his extreme noise music project called Knurl. In the late '80s he began performing noise backgrounds at poetry readings in which he experimented with his bass guitar by placing metal objects on the strings to produce the sounds. Since that time, Bloor has delved heavily into experimentation with found objects as sound sources. While Knurl unleashes harsh noise performances and side-project Pyrox creates intense electronic drones, Pholde creates dark ambient soundscapes by the bowing and scraping of self-created metal sound-sculptures with hand files, smooth and threaded metal rods, angle iron and blocks of steel to produce atmospheric, haunting soundscapes. His music was released on many labels worldwide, including Alien8 Recordings, Gears of Sand, Mystery Sea, RRRecords, Taâlem and Troniks. As usually happened with all previous Pholde's works, the two pieces on "Aperture of the Internal Structure" were produced and recorded by Alan in single sessions without any overdub, using only his sound-sculptures as source material aided by reverb and some equalization... [more] Aperture of the Internal Surface [excerpt] Manifested By the Occurrence [excerpt] MATHIEU RUHLMANN "The Earth Grows in Each of Us" Electroacoustic / Experimental. Mathieu Ruhlmann is a visual and sound artist. He first began composing soundworks to accompany his visual art based on found material. He has created works for various labels in Europe, Canada and the United States as well as contributed to several compilations. He has also produced sound installations and held performances thorughout North America. He currently resides in Vancouver, British Columbia. "The Earth Grows in Each of Us" was composed and recorded during Spring/Summer 2006. Instruments and sounds used on the album include: violin, piano, autoharp, accordion, bell, shruti box, voice, vinyl, wasps, seafoam, glass, tiles, fireworks, water, tree branch, metal, seedpod, pine cone, tone generator and stones... According to Mathieu's own words: "The main concept behind "The Earth Grows in Each of Us" was to create a soundwork addressing the regeneration of the life cycle. This work was created in 2006, the year of my 30th birthday. On this release there are five tracks. The first four track times refer to the numeric year of my birth, 1976... [more] Eschenau, 1976 Holding Light (Part I) "Coleoid" Ambient / Dark Ambient. Horchata is the name used by Michael Palace for his electronic music compositions. His music focuses on four major elements: complex beat music, dark ambient soundscapes, programmed compositional glitch music, and field recordings. Often a composition will include several of these elements. Palace has worked for a number of years as a research scientist at the University of New Hampshire's Complex System Research Center. His work there focuses on necromass or dead wood in Amazonia. During his numerous field visits to the rainforest, he has recorded sounds using various microphones and minidisk recorders. Modification of many computer simulations have yielded some interesting sound generating and compositional programs which are featured in newer recordings by Palace. After inviting him to take part to our 10th year celebrative on-line compilation in late 2005, we also asked him for a full-lenght release and "Coleoid" is the result. Exploring the darkest side of Horchata's music, the album is a one hour long journey recorded and assembled during 2006... [more] Manus [excerpt] Tentacular [excerpt] ANDREW DUKE "From the Deep End" Minimal Electronica / Glitch / Experimental. Andrew Duke has been composing, producing, remixing and performing music since 1987, plus scoring and sound-designing for film, television, video, web, theatre and radio. His music is consistently referred to by the media and listeners alike as continuously presenting a unique and distinct sound. He has been commissioned for 55+ remixes (for artists such as Aaliyah, Pink Floyd, Chicks On Speed, Heavy Meadows, David Kristian, etc.) and has licensed 125+ tracks to compilations. Based in Halifax (Nova Scotia, Canada) he operates the Cognition Audioworks label and webzine. "From The Deep End" includes selected excerpts from recordings taken at four different live shows Andrew played In Toronto, Kingston, Halifax and Montreal between 2002 and 2004. The twentyfour untitled tracks combined on this double-disc set are all mixed together to create a complex and organic sonic continuum. Duke's explorations on "From The Deep End" range from classic clicks'n'cuts to dissonant ambiences passing through minimal vocations and subtle variations... [more] 2xCD-R STEVE BRAND "Looking Into the Other" Ritual / Tribal / Ambient. Steve Brand has been creating sound art and visual art since the mid-80's. From 1995 to 2003 he was active as Augur, creating obscure and organic music which was released on many labels worldwide, including The Foundry, Manifold, Alluvial, Self-Abuse and others. During the years he had the chance to collaborate with artists such as Jeph Jerman (Hands To, Animist Orchestra), Rick Kitch (I Am Umbrella, Lucky Cricket), PBK, James P. Keeler (Wilt), Brooke Oates (Birds of Tin), etc. His atmospheres, alarmingly austere, with varying shades of gray, are drenched in allusion and a heightened sense of cinematic noir for the listener. According to his own words, "emotional aspects of a recording always come first". Consisting of six long tracks, "Looking Into the Other" takes up where "Awakensong" (...released on Afe in April 2006...) left off, expanding the exploration of twilight worlds. The album utilizes bells, synthesizers, voice, various flutes, medicine drums, cymbals, fiddle, rattles, prayer bowls, etc. Once again, with this work Steve has created an high quality and excellent album of deeply emotional music, and proved himself as one of the most inspired authors in contemporary Ritual Ambient... [more] Looking Into the Other BESTIA CENTAURI "Teratogenesis" Avantgarde / Experimental. Bestia Centauri is a solo electronic music project begun in 1999. "Teratogenesis" is its fourth release after "Ubbo-Sathla" (Somnambulant Corpse Recordings, 2002), "The Antideluvian Earth" (Afe, 2003) and "The Self Immolation Rite" (Somnambulant Corpse Recordings, 2004). The aim of Bestia Centauri is to create sonic landscapes that convey a sense of the numinous, the horrific, and the extra-human. Its sounds have much in common with those of electroacoustic music, but the compositional structures generally display a much greater sense of flow. With the new release, "Teratogenesis" (...an Eibon / Afe co-production...), Bestia Centauri defies once and for all the persistent mischaracterizations of its sound as belonging to the "Dark Ambient ghetto". Electroacoustic and computer music elements come brazenly to the foreground, and contribute even more so to the flow of "crawling chaos" that has always characterized and inspired Bestia Centauri’s compositions. The genesis and development of a monstrosity is the theme of this new work, which charts a course from mutated unicellular sonic DNA to the resultant life-form that reaches "from the jaws of the dragon, from the depths of the abyss"... [more] [sold-out] Nebular Embryo "Vor Feuerschlünden" Electroacoustic / Experimental. Cría Cuervos is the music project of italian sound artist Eugenio Maggi. Influenced by surrealism, minimalism, Drone and Industrial music, Hard Core/Punk and Grind, his music has evolved from more noisy experiments and now sits somewhere in between darker ambience and electroacoustic. During the years he created several full-lenght solo works and also collaborated with artist such as Paul Bradley, Sparkle in Grey, Ninth Desert and Maurizio Bianchi. His music was released on many international labels: Immanence, Thisco, Mystery Sea, Taalem, Twenty Hertz and Dielectric Records. "Vor Feuerschlünden" (...German for "Before Throats of Fire"...) is Cría Cuervos's latest full-lenght offering and it probably is his best solo work to date . The album features two long tracks of electroacoustic / experimental nature, built using field recordings (...cicadas, gas, frogs, water...), self-programmed Theta waves, short waves and softwares. No synthesizers were used during the recording process... [more] Vor Feuerschlünden [excerpt] Blutgebell [excerpt] CORDELL KLIER "Measure Here and Be Now" Ambient / Minimal / Experimental. Cordell Klier is an avantgarde sound artist, graphic designer and label owner from Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. Since the beginning of his career in music Cordell has continued to carve his own trails and musical nitches with his sincere abilities to bridge the widest of gaps between many of the divided music cultures and sub-cultures. Sometimes to the dismay, and sometimes to the rejoicing of critics and fans alike. Through the years he has worked within many genres of sound. Everything from Noise to Metal, to Punk, Pop and Hip Hop, but currently recognising silence, drone, and glitch as his main mediums of output. Starting out in 1987 with his first Metal band Shadow, Cordell has since moved on to form numerous other acts such as Vedisni, Dream Eternal, Climb to Zalem, No Human Day, Monstrare, Under Crushing Wings and more. His music was successfully released by many labels worldwide including Ad Noiseam, Dragon Flight Recordings, Angle Records, Mystery Sea and many more. "Measure Here and Be Now" was recorded between September 2005 and January 2006, it features four tracks of minimal ambient and lowercase explorations... [more] Be Now [excerpt] EDWARD RUCHALSKI "Dark Night" Experimental. Edward Ruchalski is an american composer currently living in Syracuse, New York, where he teaches guitar.

[more] Part Four / Part Five "Territorial Objects" Experimental. We had the chance to listen to Edward Ruchalski's music for the first time when his "Refined Localities Part One" MiniCD-R 3" was released by Taâlem some time ago. Edward is an american composer currently living in Syracuse, New York, where he teaches guitar. He has been commissioned by the Bang on a Can All-Stars, Helen Boatwright and Syracuse's Society for New Music.

"Territorial Objects" is his latest full-lenght work, a collection of thirteen untitled short pieces recorded during 2005-2006 with the help of Michael Burton and Matt Broad. A complex and powerful work focusing more on the percussive and mechanical side of Ruchalski's music rather than on the droning elements... [more] Part Nine Part Thirteen AFE088MCD FHIEVEL "Preghiera per una stella" Experimental. Luca Bergero was born in Italy in 1980. If his electronic engineering studies helped his meeting with algorhytmic composition, at the same time they gave way to his crisis for technologic music pushing him to the concrete sound. His constant doubt, the desire to bring back art to the state of an unconditioned phenomenon - finally back in man's hands - and the necessity for development, contribute to a severe creation balanced between opposite sound sources. In 2003 his lowercase work "Vetri di carta" was produced by S’agita Recordings. In February 2005 the Portuguese label Creative Sources Recordings released "Pocket Progressive", a trio improvisation recorded along with Luca Sigurtà and Claudio Rocchetti. His latest full-lenght work, "Le baptême de la solitude", was released in late 2005 by Petite Sono]. "Preghiera per una stella" (Prayer for a Star) is a long track composed in Spring 2006. Mainly built on long drones and tones, this release marks a definitive departure from Fhievel's ultra-minimal / microsound early works... [more] MiniCD-R 3" Preghiera per una stella [excerpt] "Chemical Nature" Ambient-Electronica / IDM / Drill'n'Bass. After the successful debut disc of Two Dead Bodies released in April 2006 it's now time for some more Afe / Bar La Muerte co-productions. One of them is a034's "Chemical Nature". a034 is a one-man band conducted by Stefano Pulici from Mlan, Italy. This project was created some ten years ago without any definite ambitions and was brought to the public attention when its first CD album was released by Tijuana Records (...the very first manifestation of what later became Bar La Muerte...) back in 1999. Today a034 is still alive and kicking and Stefano is also involved in other projects such as Nuke Satori, Six Figure Nigga, Figli di Diapa (with Hyena and Mbst8) and Lava (with Bruno Dorella of OvO and Ronin fame). During the years, his music was released on CD and vinyl by labels such as Bar La Muerte, Hydrophonic, Blackbean and Placenta, FVA, Homesleep, Napalmed and Blackqirex. "Chemical Nature" is a034's latest full-lenght offering and is a more ambient / experimental affair if compared to his previous CDs. The common trait of most of the tracks on the album, is the use of sounds grabbed from natural sources in more synthetic contexts. All tracks on the album are mixed together to create a seventyfour minutes journey... [more] 2 Many Words Elektrostatic No Time, No Space THE INFANT CYCLE / UPHOLD "Our Past Present (Now Then)" Experimental. Jim DeJong (The Infant Cycle) and Muffy St. Bernard (UPhold) are pleased to be partnered with each other for "Our Past Present (Now Then)". Their friendship dates back to the early '90s Canadian experimental tape scene, and they have worked together on occasion. The Infant Cycle was begun in 1992 by Jim DeJong, as a 21st birthday present to himself. Since then he has steadily created a large number of releases working with both "musical" and "non-musical" objects to create soundscapes that don't easily fit ready-made descriptions. UPhold was formed by Muffy St. Bernard in 1993, growing out of early-morning radio experiments on CKMS, the University of Waterloo's campus station. Those experiments were honed in the group Mindsculpture (a.k.a. Mind-skelp-cher) and have matured over time. His music has been released through his own label, Dangermuff Enterproses, and through Jim DeJong's The Ceiling. "Unrelated Work Tapes 7/7/04" by The Infant Cycle is a new chapter in his series of aural collages based on his own past, present, future and non-existant releases, where he explores the wide possibilities offered by manipulation / juxtaposition of different portions of audio materials taken out of their original context. The four UPhold tracks include assorted synthesizers, field recordings, found sounds and voices, metal percussions and other low-budget electronic paraphernalia used to create very complex and cinematic experimental music... [more] 2xMiniCD-R 3" THE INFANT CYCLE: Unrelated Work Tapes 7/7/04 [excerpt] UPHOLD: Folded Memory Syndrome UPHOLD: Bedwetters DRONÆMENT "Ezoterick Muzick" Ambient / Experimental. Dronæment is active since 1997 and is the main musical project of Marcus Obst who lives in the South area of what once was East Germany.

Since then he released some marvellous albums on Dachstuhl, Nauze [Muzick], Mystery Sea, Le Cri De La Harpe and Field Muzik. Everyone with an even small interest in Drone / Experimental music should immediately put their hands on them. After the wonderful "Yr" (released with the help of our friends at Blade Records) and "Allein... Unter Menschen" (a remastered CD-R version of one of his early tapes), this is the third Dronæment album released by Afe. Needless to say that we're very proud about this. "Ezoterick Muzick" was inspired by repeated listenings of indian traditional music and is a successful attempt at creating meditative / relaxing ambient music... [more] "Awakensong" Ritual / Tribal / Ambient. Steve Brand has been creating sound art and visual art since the mid-80's. From 1995 to 2003 he was active as Augur, creating obscure and organic music which was released on many labels worldwide, including The Foundry, Manifold, Alluvial, Self-Abuse and others. His atmospheres, alarmingly austere, with varying shades of gray, are drenched in allusion and a heightened sense of cinematic noir for the listener. Consisting of nine tracks, "Awakensong" was recorded and mixed in early 2005, and is an highly enjoyable excursion into good meditative / ritual / tribal Ambient music. The album utilizes shakuhachi, Native American courting flute and bass flute, udu, medicine drum, camel bells, gongs, voice, prayer bowls and keyboards... [more] Song for Remembering Song for Illumination Song for Releasement and Clearing "Triadic Memories" Industrial.

Their music is mostly based on free improvisation and its sonorities can't easily be described without referring to the seminal work of the well-known and wildest Industrialists of the late '70s / early '80s. "Triadic Memories" is their first "official" disc and comes after the self-released "Baptism & Birthday". There is a strong dramatic feeling in their powerful sound, where everything seems to reproduce a sort of wedding between the modernity of the media and the primordial instincts of the performers...

NG5361. Bandera (from post industrial Italian pioneers Sigillum S, Sshe Retina Stimulants, Komplet and many other sonic extremities) and Tiberio Longoni (former guitarist of seminal Italian punk originators Jumpers and 198X, as well as 80’s psychedelic legends Peter Sellers & The Hollywood Party). Here they have decided to give a jarring audio shape to their long standing friendship and merge very different musical histories through a common cultural background (where series of antagonist social / ideological references show a cutting edge mix of future driven and vintage alternative expression modes). The result so far is a dense mesh of post-noise guitar canals, mating with desktop jazz and redefining blues as heard from the ears of hybrid creatures from a Yellow Lagoon… [more] Burnt State of Evolved Mind Swamp and Bridges as Hippy Revenge Torn Sidewalks, Once More TWO DEAD BODIES "Reflect" Experimental / Extreme / Tribal Noise Rock. We're particularly glad to introduce an Afe / Bar La Muerte co-production. This release is the first collaborative effort between us and the famous italian independent label. This disc is also very important because it is our very first non-electronic release. Yes, the music on "Reflect" was electronically assembled and processed, but its intimate consistence is of a Noise / Rock nature. Two Dead Bodies is an extreme music project that involves Luca Mauri and Andrea Reali, both originating from the hinterland of Milan, Italy. They both are already active in the impro / jazzy / freeform band I/O and in the white funk wavers Kokoro Mayikibo. Two Dead Bodies were born in the hot summer of 2005 when Luca and Andrea recorded their first tracks during a sunny afternoon impro session. After recording, all audio material was re-processed, re-mixed and mastered by LooKe (Luca). Divided in five parts, it was given the title of "Reflect". There is a strong sense of primordial instability in the music of Two Dead Bodies... [more] Part 1 and 2 [excerpt] Part 5 [excerpt] AFE080MP3 A.A.V.V.

Leeza's music is generated using a laptop computer and no other electronic devices. It has its main roots in what was once called Intelligent Techno, and is clearly inspired by the good records published during the '90s by labels such as Warp, Rephlex, Skam, etc. With "Living in a Pixel", he has crafted an album of classic melodic electronic compositions which are very rarely tuneless...

Canadian artist Aidan Baker is probably one of the most prolific experimental musicians around, exploring the deconstructive sonic possibilities of the electric guitar as a primary sound source, creating music that ranges from experimental to post-rock to contemporary classical.

"Dog Fox Gone to Ground" is Aidan Baker's first release on Afe. It was entirely and spontaneously composed, performed and recorded in mid 2005 using only acoustic guitar and real time effects, it doesn't contain any overdubs or other studio tricks... [more] Dog Fox Three Dog Fox Five NON ETHOS "Syk Asfalt" Electroacoustic / Experimental / Dark Ambient. Non Ethos was a side-project of Norwegian Hærleif Langås (...now active as Northaunt) up to around 2003. It was a no-rules project that dived deep into experimental soundworks, drones and isolationism. It was just like a musical terrain vague, undefined but still loaded with hidden meanings. During its existence, a few Non Ethos discs were privately released in very small editions by the author himself. One of them, "Hidden Structures, Lost Places" was re-released by Afe back in 2000; now it's the turn of "Syk Asfalt", which comes in a completely remastered and revised version. According to the author's words, this album is a meditation on time, urban emptiness and nature's destructive forces, the ever ongoing erosion, the crack in the asphalt that slowly spreads, unheard, unseen, in the urban nights, sometimes patched by street workers but never stopped, just like we can't mend the cracks in ourselves. The whole "Syk Asfalt" keeps its promises from the beginning to the end, and Non Ethos has the great merit of being able to create such a strong and evocative record with just a few, but very effective, elements...

__label__cc	0.582443	0.417557	Category Archives: Humor/Spoof A Little "Tabloid Junkie" Fun For The Holidays In the spirit of Christmas, a little Tabloid Junkie fun! Enjoy. POP STAR MICHAEL JACKSON CONFESSED, AT 11 HE WITNESSED MOM’S SECRET AFFAIR! [tube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PITCmngiMfA[/tube] "I Did See It, I Did! I Did!" The 11-Year-Old Insisted. "And I'm Gonna Tell My Dad!" Sources tell us that Jackson admitted to being traumatized over the sight of his mother Katherine Jackson kissing a strange North Pole man by the name of Santa Claus, aka Kris Kringle. Jackson insisted his mother was carrying on the secret affair while she thought Jackson and his siblings were asleep. Jackson said the encounter he witnessed included such lascivious acts as beard tickling .Our sources say Jackson tried to tell his siblings of the affair, but to no avail. The Jackson siblings have stunchly denied that the affair occurred. Jackson then reportedly threatened to report the affair to his father Joe Jackson. According to a source close to the family, this may explain why the Jackson patriarch moved out of the Encino compound and is now living in Las Vegas. Though some sources insist that Santa Clause was merely delivering gifts, it seems highly unlikely that there was any legit reason for Claus (or Mr. Kringle) to be visiting this strict, Jehovah’s Witness home. The 11-year-old Jackson swore repeatedly that he saw his mother and Claus locked in an embrace beneath the mistletoe, though it remains a mystery as to why Katherine Jackson picked this one night out of the year to forego her religion and hang mistletoe. A close friend of the family says she was suspicious when she noticed Christmas decorations adorning the Jackson home several days prior to Christmas Eve. Some sources have even hinted that the secret affair might have been a long standing one. They insist this is the explantion for Jackson’s changing skin color-his secret father may have been the very Causoid Santa Claus, rather than Joe Jackson! The source would not disclose whether they thought there was any possibility that Claus (aka Mr. Kringle) may also have been the biological father of Randy and Janet. Katherine Jackson Secret Affair Exposed! According to noted child psychologist Dr. Sueme, “The trauma of a child so young witnessing an affair by a parent cannot be underestimated. This could well have attributed to some of the pop star’s problems in later life.” Did This man Come Between Joe And Katherine Jackson? However, it seemed that Jackson was willing to forgive his mother Katherine for this early transgression.

You'd think it was because he looks like a hockey puck but it actually comes from the Japanese phrase Paku-Paku, which means to flap one's mouth open and closed. They changed it because they thought Puck-Man would be too easy to vandalize, you know, like people could just scratch off the P and turn it into an F or whatever.

ROBERT ROCK: Messed that up, hit a great shot to the green, and I was trying to just roll it up to give it half a chance of going in. Q. You gelled very well. ROBERT ROCK: Yeah, we played good. We should have won this. It's disappointing. It was good fun. Been looking forward to playing with him, as well, and just cost us half a point. Q. Being a bit too hard on yourself; it's a team game. ROBERT ROCK: It's basic stuff. It's not even pro standard, 2-putting from 30 foot, is it. Q. It was a slow start but you really got going. IAN POULTER: Slow start, Dys hit a couple of loose ones early doors but settled and I have to say we played very solid. From then on in, we was going to be hard to beat, even though they were up, we pretty much put it in play all day, and that wears on your opponents. They only have to hit a couple of loose ones and it's going to be very difficult for them. That's what we have done very well today after the first couple of holes. Q. So you're a happier camper tonight? IAN POULTER: Yeah, there was some somber faces last night. Everybody was quite quiet and pretty peeved off about their day's work, but today has been a very, very solid day. Q. It's put you in such a strong position now, just going to be a case of concentrating and not let it -- IAN POULTER: You can't. We are on paper underdogs. They are obviously going to come out fast tomorrow. So therefore, you know, we just need to be, you know, careful, go out and play good golf. Q. One word about your partner, 3 1/2 out of 4, really looks the part. IAN POULTER: He's played really solid. He played with JD the first few matches and it was a nice potential partnership today. I was looking forward to it. He drives the ball well. He's playing great. He's holing putts and he's chipping in occasionally. So, that's always nice. At the end it was about putting it in position and not making mistakes, and we have done that really well. Q. Two rookie partners today. LEE WESTWOOD: I enjoyed playing with both of them. They proved today why they are in the team. Q. It's great to see young talent coming through; you can see them blossom in this environment. LEE WESTWOOD: Absolutely. It gives them a dose of confidence. It's tough when you play your first team event. You sort of are out of your comfort zone. If you've played them before that obviously helps and you sort of try and put an arm around them. Q. Can you remember how you felt very early on? Were you a little on edge? LEE WESTWOOD: You don't know what to expect and you feel like you have to do more than you actually have to do. Whereas you have to have a bit of patience and relax out there and just your own game, and if you're good enough, then you win. Q. And your own game looks to be in great shape, as well. You're just doing what you have to do. LEE WESTWOOD: Yeah, my game is in lovely shape. Hitting the ball nicely and starting to roll a few putts in, which is nice. Q. And Paul appreciates having you in the team room. LEE WESTWOOD: It's a good balance. Q. You need some help along the way. LEE WESTWOOD: Just confirmation that you're doing everything right. Obviously he's on his own this week, not really any vice captains, so I suppose myself and Darren are giving our bit when he needs it. So it's all going along smoothly. Q. The margin at the moment, like every team event, you have to watch as you finish off. LEE WESTWOOD: The last thing we will be is complacent, because, well, they won't have played in teams but I've played in teams where you've had a big lead and it evaporate quickly if you start getting down in the early games. We'll come out with the same intensity as today I'm sure and try to get on the board early.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0023.json.gz/line3563

The 2007 Folio: 40 — which the magazine-industry publication calls “the oldest, most comprehensive and most distinguished compilation of its kind” — included ASBPE’s new ethics guidelines as one of last year’s top developments. “Although many have tried,” the magazine notes, “few organizations have tackled the subject of online ethics as thoroughly as the American Society of Business Publication Editors did in the May 2006 release of its updated ethics guide.” Folio: said it examined the entire magazine industry and related markets “for individuals from the executive suite on down who best represent an increasingly multifaceted media landscape.” Organizations and events are considered in addition to individuals. ASPBE president Roy Harris was quoted in the article as saying that the ethics code was a six-month effort by a team of editors, coming after a survey of members about what problems needed to be addressed.

__label__wiki	0.544932	0.544932	Custom Media options Voorbij Prefab BV Issue 127 May 2016 Barry Jarvis 2016-05-10 A concrete shift A few years ago Voorbij Prefab was facing closure, but a bold move to adopt revolutionary innovation in a traditionally conservative construction industry sees it leading the way into a digital future Originally founded in 1935 by the Voorbij family, creating wooden piles for the construction industry and later moving into precast concrete solutions, Voorbij Prefab has amassed a long history of experience in the sector. Taken over by TBI Holdings BV in 1996, the company remains renowned in the industry for high quality prefabricated concrete solutions. For much of its recent history Voorbij’s core market was supplying to the Dutch utilities market, however following the crash of this sector in 2005, the company, along with its modern facilities on the outskirts of Amsterdam, continued with a unfocused strategy supplying into a number of sectors from offices to tunnels. “There was no focus anymore,” says Jeroen Pat, Technical Innovator at Voorbij. “The factory was working hard and our people were working long hours, but the company wasn’t making any money.” “There was a point when we were on the brink of collapse,” the company’s CEO, Jos Mulkens continues. “Our market was too diversified, our lead times had become too long, customers were losing satisfaction, we were too expensive, employees were becoming demotivated and there was no strategy in place to move forward. In essence, it was do or die, and we decided to invest one last time to try and refocus by narrowing our scope of work to housing with some special works.” It was a decision that helped seal the successful fate of Voorbij as it sought to continue delivering the high quality that it had become known for whilst placing its customers right at the centre of its activities. However, at the very heart of this refocus was a cultural shift that favoured the process over the product itself, something that was ultimately delivered by what Jeroen describes as a gamechanger in the construction industry: the adoption of digital technology amd a change in corporate culture. “We no longer need to focus on the product, because we can count on the product always being good quality,” he says. “Instead we are looking at the process, and ensuring that our process is able to respond to the ever changing needs of the customer and the end user. During the design, and even the build, stages of a building many decisions may change, such as the positioning of electrical fittings in a wall, and because of our software-driven process and innovative culture we are flexible enough to be able to implement these at the ‘last minute’ before prefab work.” By implementing digital technology and completely transforming the production process within its facility, Voorbij has switched from a labour intensive approach to a capital intensive one. In doing so it is bringing a traditional production company into the modern age of digital technology ahead of the rest of the industry. This culminated in the 1-2-3 Casco development, a system that couples 3D architectural modelling with state-of-the-art 3D printing methods to produce precast elements far quicker and more cost effectively than anything previously capable within the sector. “By using ‘big data’ inputs we are able to analyse everything we do and constantly derive insights to improve safety, quality, production and cost,” Jos highlights. “Since implementing this new system we have achieved a 30 per cent reduction in cost and our preparation work takes 80 per cent less time. Whereas it used to take us two days to create casting moulds, we can now do it in six minutes.” Equal to a shift in culture in making the adoption of digital technology a success, is Voorbij’s desire to form strong partnerships within the industry. “For example, we are presently making wall sections for housing projects, but are looking at the next stage to be able to make floors in a partnered facility,” says Jeroen. “This is with a company that shares our knowledge and our culture to think-out-of-the-box who we can connect with our own digital processes and essentially add a second printer to the network.” In fact it is a strong partnership with software developer Idat upon which the digital excellence of Voorbij’s process is made possible. “Idat’s systems have a very strategic place in our factory,” Jeroen explains. “The software allows us to input an architectural design and produce a 3D model complete with a detailed report of optimised design elements, such as the best type of rebar to install. It takes the DNA of everything we have in the factory and of consultants’ knowledge and creates an optimised recipe for production. It then organises production, manages schedules and implements factory roles and logistical systems – all at the click of a button. We are very happy with the work that Idat do – it is not just a piece of 3D modelling software but a relationship with a partner that shares our culture to do things differently and to optimise processes by working together.” “This complete integration across the factory, which is made possible by strong partnerships with companies like Idat, is what makes the process so successful,” adds Jos. “It means we can implement customer changes quickly, without the need to consult external specialists, and this provides the advantage of being able to create completely bespoke elements without altering the process or the factory at all with higher quality and more sustainable methods of production. It is part of switching to Industry 4.0 standards where we can react almost instantly to changing customer wishes.” It is a truly remarkable step forward for a company that was just a few years ago on the teetering edge of survival to now be at the cutting edge of industry progression. Voorbij has its sights set firmly on continuing the rapid development of the process whilst always maintaining a crystal clear focus on its market and its customers’ needs. Over the coming months further improvements to its logistical system will allow the company and its partners full transparency of where an element is in the process, what its quality is, and where additional capacity exists. As too will continued safety developments, which centre on improving the detail of information given to site teams in preparation for a safe construction operations. Compared to the wider manufacturing industry, construction is arguably still rooted firmly in its traditional, labour-intensive roots, but with digital technology advancing at an unprecedented rate early adopters such as Voorbij are sure to benefit over the coming years. Jos concludes with a positive vision of continuing to bring this digital revolution into the company’s processes and in doing so take up position at the very front of the construction industry’s shift towards the future. “One thing seems clear,” he notes. “If the construction industry doesn’t deploy disruptive technology or innovation that helps it deliver to ever-challenging market demands, then it will be disrupted from the outside.” Services: Specialist prefab concrete manufacturer Tags:ConcreteVoorbij Prefab Cementir Going, going greener Stanton Bonna Schofield Publishing, 10 Cringleford Business Centre, Intwood Road, Norwich, Norfolk NR4 6AU www.schofieldpublishing.co.uk Railway Strategies Land, Sea & Air FoodChain Residential Modular Supplier Plant Construction 1000 Companies to Inspire Britain Engineering Equipment Tunnelling Aggregates Cement Contractors Arup Hire & Rental Concrete Infrastructure Refurbishment Materials Skills Machinery Windows Commercial Piling Cemex BIM Mining Design Precast Manufacturing Technology Civil Engineering Safety Mechanical Prefabricated Electrical Drainage Distributor Tools Steel Timber Health & Safety Manufacturer Builders Merchant Doors HVAC Copyright © SCHOFIELD PUBLISHING, All Rights Reserved. \| Site map \| Privacy	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0023.json.gz/line3582
__label__wiki	0.613038	0.613038	NHS saw 299 'never events' in 2012 – Clearwater Solicitors respond ‘Never events’ are a common factor in serious medical negligence claims. These are preventable, serious incidents that significantly compromise patient safety, and the NHS says they should never occur if preventative measures are properly implemented. There are 25 different types of never event, including: – Some forms of inpatient suicide – Chemotherapy administration through the wrong route – Surgical tools being retained inside patients following surgery – Surgery on the wrong site – Misplaced orogastric or naso tubing that is not detected – Unnecessary intravenous administration of concentrated potassium chloride – Fatal cases of maternal post-partum haemorrhage in hospitals following elective caesarean sections – Escape from high- and medium-security mental health facilities by transferred prisoners – Air embolism Last year, the NHS in England recorded 299 cases of these ‘never events’; a significant rise from the previous year’s figure of 163. Our clinical negligence solicitors have also seen a rise in the number of never events, perhaps caused by increasing pressures on the health service, and while the NHS did not explain the reasons for the pronounced increase, it is thought that hospitals across the country could be struggling to cope with austerity. Many medical negligence solicitors also have a sneaking suspicion that these never-events occur far more frequently than the NHS’ official figures indicate, but that doctors try to cover them up and deal with the consequences to prevent the incident becoming open knowledge. While data about never events is published on an annual basis, NHS England has recently revealed it is going to publish these lists on a quarterly basis. Incidents will also be broken down by each NHS Trust, so the public will be able to understand which areas appear to have the best healthcare provision and which are likely to see the highest number of clinical negligence claims. This is part of the NHS’ wider commitment to openness and transparency and should help to stimulate greater levels of preventative action and improve learning within the UK’s healthcare sector. Publically reporting safety problems was one of the recommendations made in the Berwick Review, and the move by NHS England shows that this recommendation will be realised in practice. This will help people understand the problems the NHS faces and allow the public to understand where responsibility lies in medical negligence compensation claims. All healthcare systems have problems, and the NHS is no exception, so it is no surprise that so-called ‘never events’ still occur. Every year, the NHS deals with more than one million patients, so if the figure of 299 never events is accurate, this shows patients are incredibly unlikely to be injured in one of these never events. NHS England director of patient safety Dr Mike Durkin said: “Every single never event is one too many.” While this is an admirable goal, it is unlikely that never events will be completely eradicated. If you have been the victim of a ‘never event’ or any other form of clinical negligence, you can claim compensation with our medical negligence solicitors.

__label__wiki	0.75106	0.75106	His father's death in an accident during his childhood causes Yong-Hoo to become distrustful of people. He grows up to be a martial arts champion and when he encounters Priest An, he gains divine power in order to fight off a powerful evil force. General Release Date: 15 Aug 2019 Genre: Action / Horror Distributor: ATriNaga Sdn Bhd Cast: Park Seo-Joon, Ahn Sung-Ki, Woo Do-Hwan Director: Kim Joo-Hwan Writer: Florey DM Writer Ratings: Overall: 3.5 Out of 5 Cast: 4.0 Out of 5 Plot: 2.5 Out of 5 Effects: 3.5 Out of 5 Cinematography: 3.5 Out of 5 Watch this if you liked: “The Conjuring” franchise, “The Exorcist” When your palms start bleeding for no good reason, and yet your health stays in tip top condition, you might just be afflicted with the same divine fate that has befallen our protagonist in "The Divine Fury", a full on God-hating MMA (mixed martial arts) fighter named Yong-hoo. Though born a Christian and raised by a church-going single father, Yong-hoo turns his back on God when his father dies in an accident during his childhood, despite him praying hard for God to save his father. (The little conversation he had with his father about his mother's death should've clued him in on the fact that prayers don't exactly work like magic wishes). He hates God so much he starts flinging cross at priest and goes berserk whenever he so much as sees a cross, even if it's only in tattoo form. To be fair, the movie explained that the darkness in his heart grows over the years, attracting evil spirits to attach themselves to him (hence the almost schizophrenic tendency he has of hearing voices whispering evil things to him). Yong-hoo grows up to be a brooding young man, undefeated in the MMA ring, most likely thanks to the evil voices in his head that egg him on until he mercilessly pummels his opponent. It is only when stigmata mysteriously appear on his hands that he finds himself turning back to the religion he's abandoned for so long, to look for answers after science pronounces him well despite the blood-gushing wounds on his palms. His search for answers unwittingly turns him into the unwilling and unbelieving sidekick of Father Ahn (played by the ever-capable Ahn Sung-ki), a veteran demon-fighting Korean priest sent by the Vatican to vanquish the Dark Bishop, a Satanist played by Woo Do-hwan, who performs rituals and makes sacrificial offerings to a mysterious entity in a dark, watery pit conveniently situated underneath his swanky nightclub. Setting up the lead character as an MMA fighter plants false hopes in fans who are expecting to see more action in the movie. Director Kim Joo-hwan missed the opportunity to make the exorcism scenes more action-packed and unique by introducing more resilient and aggressive demons who would force Yong-hoo to utilise his fighting skills to defeat them, aside from just simply smacking his stigma (he uses only his right - righteous? - hand, the other stigma is pretty much neglected after making its bloody introduction) onto the possessed to drive away the demon(s) within. Only Yong-hoo's first exorcism scene with Father Ahn is the abovementioned applied, the ones that follow afterwards lack the same excitement. The possessed ones being female or a child is no excuse for generic, run-off-the-mill exorcisms, it would've been interesting to see this virile young man debating whether to punch the living daylight out of a possessed woman or kid when she or he won't stop baiting him with evil talks. Park is trained in Hapkido and boxing, and has successfully carried a starring role as taekwondo-turned-MMA fighter Go Dong Man in "Fight for My Way"; it's a shame to not see more of his fighting skills shine on screen. While horror is obviously the genre this movie is zeroing on, there are, of course, comic moments sprinkled in. Unfortunately, director Kim fared better in balancing serious moments with funny ones in his other Park Seo-joon starring movie ("Midnight Runners"). There are times when watching this movie that you will find yourself questioning whether you should be even be laughing at what's onscreen. That's not to say the movie should forgo its comedic touches completely. The best of these is often in the interaction between Yong-hoo and Father Ahn. Their awkward acquittance that eventually grows into a more relaxed friendship is fun to watch. Their fun banter is reminiscent of Yong-hoo's own way of conversing with his father, as Father Ahn sorts of turns into a surrogate parental figure for the orphaned young man. While the movie isn't exactly the action-packed demon-fighting number promised by its trailers, it's still a fun watch if only for the chemistry between the two leads. There's room for improvement but since this is intended to be the first entry of a franchise, the subsequent movies might fare better. Watching "The Divine Fury" probably won't turn you into a devout follower of the promised franchise but it will strengthen your faith in the acting talents of Park Seo-joon and Ahn Sung-ki. • Much like his character in the movie, Park Seo-joon is reportedly an atheist (though probably not quite so angry at God). • While he's no MMA fighter, Park Seo-joon did star as one in 2017 K-drama, "Fight for My Way".

__label__cc	0.585265	0.414735	Arctic Council Global Arctic Asia & the Arctic Belt & Road Initiative USA/Alaska Maps & Satellite Imagery Travel & Photo CRYOPOLITICS Plan Nord housing for Nunavik delayed September 9, 2011 Mia Bennett 0 All quiet on the construction front. (c) Michael Maiku, Mayor of Kuujjuaq As I wrote in May, Quebec’s Plan Nord was supposed to build 500 new housing units in Nunavik, the northern, mostly indigenous region of Quebec, over the next five years. 300 social housing units and 200 individual homes would be built for the region, which is in a severe housing crunch. At least 1,000 new homes are required immediately to meet the demand for housing. However, it turns out that construction on the first 74 homes slated to be built in 2012 under Plan Nord will not begin until spring 2012 because of a surprising oversight: policymakers did not factor in the limited construction season and the timing of sealifts into their plans. Thus, since 2011 is the first year of the program, and no construction took place this year, the 300 new housing units have to be built within a four-year span from 2012 – 2015. This is a short amount of time when so many of the materials have to be delivered by sealift. In fact, this year, it was only in the summer that the Kativik Regional Government received the green light to order the building materials, just in time for one of the last sealifts. Watson Fournier, manager of the Kativik Municipal Housing Bureau, was quoted in NunatsiaqOnline as saying, “We told them about this…But in their $80 billion investment, housing is a drop in the bucket. One of the major, immediate objectives of the plan could have started this year — but it didn’t.” At least with regard to the housing issue, Plan Nord seems to be making similar mistakes as the Northern Strategy. Both were developed in the south: Plan Nord in Quebec City, and the Northern Strategy in Ottawa. Policymakers likely did not correspond enough with the First Nations to understand some of the simple logistical issues involved with developing the Arctic, such as the shorter building seasons. The fact that you can only build in the summer should be clear to anyone with knowledge of the High North’s climate, but apparently, the policymakers lacked this information. Now, the Nunavimmiut will likely have to wait even longer than planned to receive their new housing units and homes. Compounding the situation, the Aboriginal people have a higher birth rate than non-Aboriginal Canadians. Consequently, it’s likely that population growth will soon outgrow the Plan Nord’s projection to only build 500 homes when a full 1,000 are already required.

__label__wiki	0.796442	0.796442	We read in Parashat Vayishlah of Shechem, the prince of the city with that same name, who kidnapped and then defiled Dina, the daughter of Yaakob Abinu. Shechem very much wanted to marry Dina, and so his father, Hamor, went to speak to Yaakob and his family. Yaakob�s sons deceived Shechem and Hamor into having all the males in their city perform Berit Mila, and as the townspeople were reeling from the painful procedure, Shimon and Levi attacked the city, killing the inhabitants and rescuing Dina. The Midrash teaches that the various troubles which Yaakob endured over the course of his life parallel, and foreshadow, the different periods of exile which his descendants would experience. Specifically, his struggle against Esav alludes to the first exile, brought about by Babylonia; his exile in Laban�s home parallels the years when the Jews lived under Persian rule; the tragedy of Dina represents the crisis faced by the Jews in the times of the Greek persecution; and the story of Yosef, which resulted in the family�s exile to Egypt, foreshadows the exile which we still experience to this day. What is significant for our purposes is the parallel drawn between the story of Dina and the period of Greek persecution, which ended, of course, with the miraculous victory of the Hashmonaim over the Greeks, which we celebrate on Hanukah. Indeed, many similarities exist between the story of Dina and the story of Hanukah. Dina�s abduction took place in Eretz Yisrael, just as the Jews suffered under Greek rule in Eretz Yisrael. The Greeks did not seek to kill the Jewish People, but merely wanted the Jews to embrace their beliefs and culture, and to assimilate � just as Hamor, Shechem�s father, invited Yaakob and his sons to join their city by intermarrying. Shimon and Levi, just two men, conquered an entire city � just as the small, untrained army of Hashmonaim succeeded in overthrowing the mighty Greek army. After the story of Dina, the Torah tells, Yaakob journeyed to Bet-El where he built a Mizbe�ah and poured oil over it (35:12) � foreshadowing the "Hanukat Ha�mizbe�ach," the rededication of the altar and the miracle of the oil that followed the triumph over the Greeks. Finally, the Midrash relates that Matityahu, the Kohen Gadol and father of the five leaders of the Hashmonaim, had a daughter, Hanna, who urged her brothers to take action against the Greeks. The Greeks enacted a cruel decree requiring every Jewish bride to spend a night with the Greek governor before her wedding, and Hanna said to her brothers, "If Shimon and Levi, who were just two men, could defend Dina�s honor by attacking the city, then you, who are five men, are certainly capable of defending the honor of Jewish women!" This story thus serves as a template, so-to-speak, for the story of Hanukah, which we will soon be celebrating. But there is even deeper significance to this story, as revealed to us by Rav Shimshon of Ostropoli (d. 1648), who taught that the great sage Rabbi Akiba possessed a spark of Shechem. As evil as Shechem was, he had within him a sacred spark, and this spark was ignited many centuries later in the sacred soul of Rabbi Akiba. This is why the Torah describes Shechem�s feelings for Dina with the expression, "Va�tidbak Nafsho Be�Dina" � literally, "His soul was attached to Dina." Shechem�s attraction to Dina was not rooted solely in lust. The sacred spark deep within his soul was awakened by Dina�s pious character, and this was part of the reason why he was drawn to her. On this basis, Rav Shimshon of Ostropoli explained Rabbi Akiba�s remark cited by the Gemara in Masechet Pesahim (49b) that when he was still an ignoramus, before he began learning Torah, he resented Torah scholars, and had he been able to, he would have "bitten one like a donkey." Rabbi Shimshon suggested that this does not refer to the earlier stages of Rabbi Akiba�s life, before he studied Torah, but rather to his former incarnation, when his soul was in the body of Shechem. One of the forces of impurity in the world is called "Hamor" ("donkey"), and this evil spirit was within Shechem, whose father, indeed, was named Hamor. And thus Rabbi Akiba was describing how he had previously been in this world as an agent of the evil force of "Hamor," and he despised righteous Sadikim. Rabbi Shimshon further noted that the Torah speaks of Shechem�s feelings for Dina with three verbs: D.B.K. ("Va�tidbak Nafsho"), A.H.B. ("Va�ye�ehab Et Ha�na�ara"), and "H.SH.K." ("Hasheka Nafsho Be�bitechem"). The first letters of these three verbs spell the word "Ehad" ("one"). For this reason, Rabbi Shimshon explains, Rabbi Akiba�s soul departed this world as he was being tortured by the Romans and exclaimed, "Shema Yisrael Hashem Elokenu Hashem Ehad." The Gemara teaches that Rabbi Akiba�s soul left him as he recited the word "Ehad" � because at that point, he had completed his mission of rectifying the soul of Shechem, whose evil was manifest in his treatment of Dina, alluded to by the word "Ehad." The story of Dina, then, not only foreshadows the story of Hanukah, but also shows us the roots of Rabbi Akiba, the great sage who is responsible for the perpetuation of the Torah She�be�al Peh (oral tradition) which we study to this very day. His special soul has its origins, remarkably enough, within the evil figure of Shechem, and through his unique piety and devotion to Torah and to Am Yisrael Rabbi Akiba succeeded in eliminating the impurity, and ultimately returned his soul to his Maker in a state of pristine purity and sanctity.

__label__wiki	0.576363	0.576363	Contraceptives vs. the Soul of the USA Dateline: St. Anselm College, New Hampshire GOP Presidential primary debate, Saturday January 7, 2012, hosted by ABC News/Yahoo/WMUR We have problems in our federal government. Serious ones. We have a $15-trillion (and growing) debt, a President who is possibly subverting the US Constitution by making appointments without the advice and consent of the Congress, one Attorney General Eric Holder, supposedly the highest law enforcement official in the country, who is not being open and honest about his dangerous “fast & furious” scheme of selling guns to drug cartels, and on and on. But what does Democrat George Stephanopoulos, formerly of President Bill Clinton’s inner circle at the White House, now of “ABC News” do? He wastes 15 minutes of prime time television persistently asking former Governor Mitt Romney whether states have a right to ban contraceptives. Contraceptives, George? Really? Maybe being former President Bill Clinton’s political adviser had something to do with it. Who knows what could have happened if contraceptives were banned back in the day of Monica Lewinsky. The liberal press have their people to protect. But none of the heavy matters we face in our country seemed to matter to Diane Sawyer, Stephanopolous or Josh McElween (whose name nearly escaped me. They actually allowed him to ask a question or two.) Instead, Stephanopoulos tried to step over the laughter from the audience and ask his question a different way—couched in the dressing of “the Supreme Court ruled” and “the right of privacy” or something. Thanks to former Governor Mitt Romney, he handily showed Stephanopoulos how silly –and weird– his line of questioning was. Said Romney: “Contraception, it’s working just fine, just leave it alone.” After Diane Sawyer invoked “living rooms” and asked inane questions about homosexuality (why they insist a future President of the United States get involved in this at this time is beyond me), Governor Romney proceeded to do what Gov. Palin was doing during her “One Nation” bus tour: restoring us to the foundation of what makes our country great. “…The real issue is the vision for this country. And I — I think people have to recognize that what’s at stake in this election is jobs, yes; and balancing the budget, yes; and dealing with our — our extraordinary overhang from our — our entitlements. We have to make sure they’re preserved, our entitlements, that is, so we don’t kill the future of the country…But, really, this election is about the soul of America. The question is, what is America going to be? And we have in Washington today a president who has put America on a road to decline, militarily, internationally and, domestically, he’s making us into something we wouldn’t recognize. We’re increasingly becoming like Europe. Europe isn’t working in Europe. It will never work here. The right course for America is to return to the principles that were written down in first words in the Declaration of Independence, we were endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights, among them, life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We have the right in this country to pursue happiness as we choose and as people pursue education and work hard and take risks and build enterprises of all kinds, they lift themselves and don’t make us poorer, they make us better off. The question is, are we going to remain an exceptional nation, a unique nation in the history of the earth? That’s what’s at stake in this election. We have a president that does not understand, in his heart, in his bones, the nature of American entrepreneurialism, innovation and work… But we must return America to the principles about — upon which it was founded if we’re ever going to have a strong balance sheet, a strong income statement, create jobs, but have a bright future for our kids.” Spoken like someone who was watching that One Nation bus tour. Now, about that crony capitalism….maybe Romney will hit on it in the next debate with NBC-Facebook in the morning.

You can check out the full editorial over at Noisey; we’ve included a few excerpts below. Godfather is released this Friday (13th January). I was hoping to see you at Skepta’s show at Ally Pally last month. It was weird hearing your verse on the backing track. Don’t do that, man, don’t do that. You’re killing me. You know it’s really funny because look, I wanted to be at Skepta’s show but I didn’t make it there, and the mad thing is when we talk about these things like, “Why wasn’t he there?” or “Why wasn’t you there?” – as much as it’s a fair question – it can sometimes cause hassle. I wanted to be there too, and – you know what it is – I just wasn’t there because I’ve got older and, you know, I’m a parent. When I was young I used to go and do whatever I needed to do. As I’ve got older I’ve slowed down a bit, and sometimes just not gone out there – that’s all. What do you think of the big grime albums of last year? Are you a fan of Konnichiwa and Made in the Manor? Listen, I think Konnichiwa is the right album for what this guy [Skepta] was trying to do and where he was trying to sell it. That’s what I’ve learned from listening to that record. I think Made in the Manor was the wrong album to be made by him [Kano] at a time when grime was in fashion. It was a good Damon Albarn album in the first place, to be fair. Why do I know that? I like Damon Albarn. You know what I’m saying? I’m happy for him and all the success, but that was the wrong album to be made in this time by that artist. If grime is in and it’s popping, and you can see Stormzy and anyone else bringing it back, and you’re so good at it, you could have just given a fifteen track grime classic to follow up Home Sweet Home. Is The Godfather a grime album then? It could only be. I can’t call myself the ‘Godfather of grime’ and then make an album that’s got two grime tracks and the rest is Damon Albarn. They’re going to say I’m not. The thing is, if you listen to what’s going on at the moment there isn’t actually a barrage of grime out there. There’s a lot of stuff that’s between grime, trap, whatever it is, which I’m not dissing – I love it. So, yeah, no disrespect. Made in the Manor is actually sick, sonically and all the rest of it. It was just the wrong record to be made by that artist at this time. Do you have an age in mind where you think you’ll stop? This is my last album, in theory. You know, Wiley the brand, you’re not going to see me trying to cane the arse out of tens of Wileys, you will not. I’ll always use my money to do other, smart things. Like, I’m never going to just be like trying to squeeze money out of stuff. I’m always gonna be trying to do different things and properties and more properties. Shit like that can keep you and your family and brothers and sisters going when you’re older.

Photo: Mette Kramer Kristensen February 10th 2019, composer Christian Winther Christensen's Piano Concerto had world premiere at SWR JetztMusik in Eclat, at Eclat Festival, Stuttgart. Schweizer Musikzeitung describes the work as "Atonal "de-coring", so to speak, based on the fact that the sound of the piano was electronically extremely dimmed down and manipulated externally via a keyboard. The result, however, was by no means mere caricature, but poetry that with timid and implosive gestures was immediately touching and was met by an accordingly enthusiastic echo at the end." Stuttgarter Nachrichten highlights the crackling tension in the concert hall and concludes: "An incredible piece. The power of the quiet can be radical." “The highlight of the evening and perhaps even the whole festival was Christian Winther Christensen’s Piano Concerto, which demonstrated the occult powers of working with piano and orchestra in a tantric fashion.” Thierry Tidrow wrote in the Cambridge Core. Swedish reviewer, Ida Lunden agrees with Tidrow, writing for the Swedish contemporary music journal, Nutida Musik, saying: "The highlight of the concert was Christian Winther Christensen's Piano Concerto."

The camera measures 122 x 63.7 x 40.7mm and weight 280 g (without battery). Samsung NX300 Reviews Imaging-resource reviews the Samsung NX300 and writes; “the main benefit of the DRIMe IV processor is that it allows the camera to shoot in full 1080p at both 60 fps and 30 fps — along with both 2D and 3D stills and video with Samsung’s new 45mm 2D/3D lens — it seemed quicker on the draw on all fronts. Also zippy, the camera’s new Hybrid Auto Focus system merges a 257-point Contrast AF with a 105-point Phase Detection AF.” Photographyblog reviews the Samsung NX300 and writes; “The NX300’s new 20.3 megapixel sensor delivers excellent still image quality, with a very usable ISO range of 100-6400, plus 1080p HD video at a range of frame rates complete with auto-focusing, full control over the exposure settings, stereo sound and a wealth of other options. “ Ephotozine reviews the Samsung NX300 and writes; “The Samsung NX300 is an welcome refresh to the Samsung NX range, with an impressive 3.31 inch touch screen (the largest on any mirrorless camera), and a good range of Wi-Fi features built in. Image quality is impressive with better results than the previous model, the NX210, thanks to improved noise performance, and excellent levels of detail.” Digitaltrends reviews the Samsung NX300 and writes; “This would be a great next-step camera for someone who wants high-quality stills and solid videos from an interchangeable lens camera with a large sensor. A state-of-the-art Wi-Fi implementation makes it that more attractive.” PCMAG reviews the Samsung NX300 and writes; “The Samsung NX300 is an impressive mirrorless camera. It’s the best NX body that we’ve tested to date, and is supported by a lens system with some impressively sharp optics. Built-in Wi-Fi allows you to get your images on the Internet right after you’ve shot them, and serious shutterbugs can tinker with Raw files using the included Adobe Lightroom software to perfect each and every shot.” Trustedreviews reviews the Samsung NX300 and writes; “The NX300 is a great improvement on previous NX models and is a good option for anyone stepping up from a compact. Image quality is excellent, and improvements to performance mean that the NX300 finally challenges the very best CSCs on the market.” Techradar reviews the Samsung NX300 and writes; “The overall image quality was hard to fault, and it should be easy for even novices to achieve high quality results thanks to the integral smart shooting modes and the intuitive iFunction lens system.” CNET reviews the Samsung NX300 and writes; “The fold-out screen immediately makes this a more tempting proposition than those that came before it, while its lightnin-fast reactions and effective focusing system give you the best chance of accurately snapping your subject, however quickly it’s moving. Low light performance is good and the expanding lens line-up makes for a versatile platform all round.” Whatdigitalcamera reviews the Samsung NX300 and writes; “The NX300 produces great images from its APS-C sensor, offers high-speed shooting and finally has an AF performance to challenge the competition in the compact system camera market.” PCPro reviews the Samsung NX300 and writes; “For handheld shots, sensitivity stretches to ISO 25600, with compensation of three stops in either direction in 1/3EV increments. Low-light performance is good, with grain holding off as far as ISO 800, and remaining light even up to ISO 3200.” “The camera is well-built and feels solid and comfortable in the hands, although it’s definitely a two-handed operation when used with a larger, heavier lens attached. The touchscreen is fairly responsive” T3 reviews the Samsung NX300 and writes; “The new sensor 20.3 Megapixel APS-CMOS sensor is an improvement on the NX210, and the NX300 also features a new hybrid auto focus (AF) system with both phase and contrast detection. The new snapper also offers up a 1/6000 sec shutter speed and an improved 8.6fps burst mode.” ITPortal reviews the Samsung NX300 and writes; “The lens is sharp and with the handy i-Function feature can act as a central control for each of your most frequently tweaked settings. The scene modes are easy to use and produce good results. Apart from the barrel distortion on RAW files, it’s difficult to find anything to dislike.” Pocket-lint reviews the Samsung NX300 and writes; “there’s a large sensor, top notch low light performance, and of course the bundled Lightroom software. The new lens priority mode should prove a fillip to beginners as they strive to achieve more artistic results, and for everyone else there’s the touch interface, larger fold-out screen, iFunction system, versatile Wi-Fi, the list goes on (and on and on).” Expertreviews reviews the Samsung NX300 and writes; “This lens can shoot in 3D for both still and video photography, and can also be used as a regular 2D prime lens. WE checked out the 3D effect today and it looked pretty impressive, both in video and stills.” Digitalcamerainfo reviews the Samsung NX300 and writes; “The specs are otherwise basically an incremental upgrade over the NX210, with 8.6fps continuous shooting (vs. the NX210’s 8fps), a slightly larger 3.3-inch AMOLED screen (vs. the NX210’s 3-inch), and an ISO range that tops out at 25600 instead of 12800.” Review Video By ubergizmodotcom Review Video By WhatDigitalCamera Review Video By Ionut Stoica Samsung NX300 Sample Photos – Samsung NX300 Sample Photos @ Whatdigitalcamera – Samsung NX300 Sample Photos @ Photographyblog – Samsung NX300 Sample Photos @ Techradar Samsung NX300 User Manual (PDF) Samsung NX300 Features The Samsung NX300 is a new compact system camera that provides an outstanding combination of features, functionality and style for perfect shooting in every moment.

__label__cc	0.70778	0.29222	Home Featured Study reveals link between autism and synaesthesia Now reading: Study reveals link between autism and synaesthesia Researchers from Cambridge University led by Professor of Developmental Psychopathology Simon Baron-Cohen have found a link between the condition Synaesthesia to autism. Synaesthesia is a condition which present in individuals causing them to taste or see colours when presented with a specific word. A person with synaesthesia could see a colour for a specific place name, or that the letter “y” was blue, as an example. The study suggests that the condition is up to three times more prevalent in individuals with autism than their contemporaries. A tenacious link was investigated by the researchers who took 263 participants, 164 diagnosed with high functioning autism and Aspergers, and 97 members of the general public. They were asked to complete a questionnaire to measure their autistic and synaesthesia traits. It revealed that one in five of the individuals with a diagnosis also had Synaesthesia compared to one in seven of the control group. Dr Baron-Cohen, who gave an interview to the BBC said: “Synaesthesia involves a mixing of the senses and it’s a very subjective private experience, so the only way we know it’s happening is if you ask people to report on their experiences. “And what this new study has done is ask people whether they experience synaesthesia, for example where a sound triggers the experience of colour or a taste triggers the experience of colour, and finding that these unusual experiences are actually much more common in autism than we previously knew.” The research is open access and is published in the journal of Molecular Autism. Both conditions involve hyper connectivity, or a flood of information passed through neurons to the brain. Director of the National Society of Autism UK, Carol Povey, told Autism Daily Newscast: “This is a very interesting study that could help improve our understanding of autism. “People with the condition can find everyday life confusing or even frightening so research like this, which helps us to understand more about how they experience the world, is valuable. It can help us to develop more appropriate support and to make adjustments according to their needs which is vital if people with autism are to reach their full potential. “With the right support at the right time people with autism can live the life they choose.” hyper connectivity link between autism and synaesthesia Simon Baron Cohen synaesthasia Shân Ellis, is a qualified journalist with five years experience of writing features, blogging and working on a regional newspaper.

This mountainous, largely agricultural nation has for many years aspired to join NATO and commence negotiations on membership with the EU as soon as a long-standing dispute with neighboring Greece – over rights to the country’s constitutional name – can be resolved. In the meantime, however, various turbulent events have left Macedonia in an unprecedented political crisis since mid-2014. The popularly elected center-right government has been the target of a local leftist opposition that claims support from Western governments and NGOs. As of early 2017, the conservative VMRO-DPMNE had won a close election but the crisis was expected to continue. The only former Yugoslav republic to break away peacefully in the 1990s, Macedonia was nevertheless gripped by conflict in 2001, when an ethnic Albanian paramilitary force partly based in Kosovo forced international diplomats to broker a peace deal giving more rights and political powers to the country’s minority populations, and especially the 25% Albanian minority. By the time of the forced 2015 crisis, Western diplomats had become surprised, and even alienated by the Macedonian government’s spirited defense of its positions, and palpable shift to the east – Turkey, the Gulf, China and Russia – which became part of the reason for the attempted opposition coup. The crisis exacerbated among Macedonians the perception that the EU is not a credible or fair player, while the conduct of the Obama Administration infuriated large segments of the population. At the same time, Macedonia played the leading role in defending Europe’s external borders during the 2015 migrant crisis (and after), and has been thanked for this by countries like Austria and the Visegrad Group. Orthodoxy Christianity is pre-eminent in Macedonia, though Islam has historic roots from the Ottoman period and is increasingly visible among the country’s ethnic Albanian population. The small Turkish and Muslim minorities are also predominantly Muslim, while a minority of Macedonians profess Catholicism, various Protestant denominations and Judaism. Outstanding Issues The ‘name issue’ dispute with Greece; Western diplomats’ relations with the unresolved political crisis; security-sector reform; handling the migrant crisis; corruption and nepotism in general; inter-ethnic issues and manipulation thereof by foreign influencers; internal challenges to the legitimacy of traditional Islam from foreign-supported local Muslims; emerging role of Turkey as a leader. Forward Planning: Points of Interest The name dispute negotiations with Greece, and EU and NATO membership relying on this, with effects on economic development Political intrigues from the opposition’s claimed ‘wiretapping scandal’ and the series of events since January 2015, sustaining a political crisis the ultimate causes of which remain unclear The migrant crisis and Macedonia’s role at the borders and in negotiations with EU bodies Discord within ethnic Albanian electorate over political leadership/ new party opportunities, and an expected larger role for Turkish influence Increased trade with Gulf States, Turkey and Russia; energy corridor participation in post-Greece privatization world Emergence as an important minerals producer for European and world markets View Macedonia in a larger map Copyright (c) 2003-2016 Balkanalysis.com	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0023.json.gz/line3634

__label__wiki	0.850178	0.850178	The Calgary Flames - From 80 Feet Above I’m a born and raised Calgarian, who has covered the NHL's Calgary Flames as a contributor to The Canadian Press since 1989-90. A graduate of the journalism program at Mount Royal College, when I'm not filing stories onto the wire, I'm posting analysis and features right here. Stop by, dig in, but don't take things too seriously, it's just hockey. Rejuvenated: Matt Stajan's Clutch GWG a Well-Earned Reward for His Improved Play of Late It was hockey's version of the 150-foot dash and my goodness, what an important one it was for Matt Stajan. The track meet that produced Stajan's critically important podium finish took place Friday night at the Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa. His featured sprint came with just over eight minutes remaining in the third period. It was a critical juncture in the game too. Up against a non-playoff team that Calgary absolutely had to beat, they found themselves clinging to a one-goal lead late in the game. The better team by a large margin in the first period, the Senators had shifted the momentum back in their favour and by this point, the stellar goaltending of David Rittich was the only reason the Flames 1-0 lead was still intact. Circling deep inside his own zone just above the face-off dot to Rittich's left, Stajan sees Brett Kulak make a superb play along the boards to strip the puck from Bobby Ryan and chip it into the neutral zone to an open Johnny Gaudreau. With Stajan darting up the left-side boards, Gaudreau cradles the puck before sending a short pass to his right to Curtis Lazar flying up through centre on the other side, who takes the puck wide as he crosses the Senators blueline. As he gains the zone, Lazar looks to his left and he can see Stajan continuing to gallop up the ice like a thoroughbred. To buy his veteran center the extra bit of time needed to get to the net, the former Senator swings to his right against defenceman Fredrik Claesson and continues to patiently hold onto the puck. Then it's go time. With Stajan having blown past an unsuspecting Mark Stone and Erik Karlsson, who both made the mistake of turning their backs on him, he's now got a direct, open lane to the net and he continues his beeline for the near post. Lazar knows exactly what's going on and at the precise hundredths of a second, he threads a perfect pass across and Stajan -- travelling at full-speed -- stabs out his stick and neatly deflects the puck over the pad of Mike Condon. What an absolute beauty. Clutch Performance The latest goal for Stajan was a big one. A huge one. An enormous one. Heck, it's perhaps the most important goal he's scored since his memorable game-winner against the Vancouver Canucks at the Saddledome on Apr. 25, 2015, as the Flames completed a comeback from an early 3-0 deficit in game six and moved on to the second round of the playoffs with a 7-4 victory. I couldn't be happier for him either. As Stajan winds his way towards the finish line of his four-year, $12.5 million contract extension he signed back on Jan. 20, 2014, while Brian Burke was operating as the club's interim general manager, it's been a season of ups and downs. Early in the year, there was plenty of the latter: Ten times a healthy scratch. Held without a point until Dec. 17. Just one assist in his first 34 games. Just one goal in his first 40 games. During his early season struggles, he took a lot of heat. Admittedly, I was one of them, suggesting he no longer contributed enough to be a fixture in this club's nightly line-up. On a team starving for depth scoring, they needed more than what they were getting and if Stajan was no longer capable of that, it had come time to provide opportunity to others. But lately, my goodness, there's been a lot more of the former. By that, I mean a lot more. Seems he still had plenty in the tank after all. I know I stand corrected. For disgruntled fans, some of whom wanted him dispatched to the minors, others who lobbied for him to retire, it goes to show that maybe embattled coach Glen Gulutzan -- a relentless backer of Stajan -- might know what he's doing after all. While it may seem like Chris Stewart, Nick Shore and Tanner Glass have had zero impact, I will throw out for consideration how well Stajan, Lazar and the fourth line is playing of late with those guys in the press box, awaiting a chance to get in the line-up. — Darren Haynes (@DarrenWHaynes) March 10, 2018 Playing his Best Hockey in Years The birth certificate says he's 34, but right now Stajan is playing like he's 24. Call it a second wind. Call him rejuvenated. Maybe while on that Florida road trip in mid-January, Stajan snuck away for a side trip up the eastern coastline to the city of St. Augustine to take a dip in Ponce de Leon's fabled Fountain of Youth. Whatever it is, it's working. As he approaches the 1,000 game mark -- just six more games to go -- Stajan is playing the best hockey of the season. Heck, I'd argue he's playing some of his finest hockey as a Calgary Flame and his statistics would back up that claim. The NHL has an advanced stat called P/60. It takes your point production and factors in how much you're on the ice. The result is a number that reflects the number of points you're producing per 60 minutes of ice time. For a guy like Stajan who is averaging around 10 minutes per night while centering the fourth line, it balances the playing field. While eight points (3 goals, 5 assists) in 19 games since Feb. 1 ties Stajan with Sam Bennett for eighth in team scoring, he climbs much higher on that list once you factor in his 10:44 of average TOI compared to the 18-plus minutes being logged by the seven guys ahead of him. P/60 for the Calgary Flames - Since Feb. 1 1. Johnny Gaudreau, 3.19 2. Sean Monahan, 2.86 3. Matthew Tkachuk, 2.42 4. Matt Stajan, 2.35 5. Dougie Hamilton, 2.17 6. Sam Bennett, 1.80 7. Mikael Backlund, 1.67 8. TJ Brodie, 1.65 9. Micheal Ferland, 1.64 10. Mark Giordano, 1.49 Of course, not factored into the above is all of Stajan's points have come at even-strength too. That makes what he’s doing even more impressive. If you're curious how that 2.35 scoring clip over the past six weeks compares with the rest of his career, it's right at the top. Stajan's best P/60 in his previous eight seasons in Calgary was his 1.87 in 2012-13. That was the year he signed his contract extension. Now on the season, adding in the 40 games of offensive futility through the end of January, his P/60 rate of 0.93 would be a career-low, but what's done is done. All that matters right now is Stajan has picked the most pivotal time of the Flames season to play his finest hockey of the season. If Calgary has any hope of rattling off the eight or nine wins required over the final 13 games to get into the post-season, more of the same from Stajan and the fourth line would sure go a long, long way. Stajan is a likable guy. He's soft spoken, but is thoughtful when he talks. Always a pleasure to deal with, when you talk about the consummate pro, he's that guy. To come out smiling on the other side of what's been some tough years in a Calgary uniform is quite a tribute to his character. He arrived in town in February 2010 in the unenviable position of being the featured piece of the underwhelming package fetched from the Toronto Maple Leafs when general manager Darryl Sutter traded away popular young defenceman Dion Phaneuf. As a throwback to the NHL's old payroll model of spreading it out, a constant point of ridicule is the fact that Stajan is a fourth liner making over $3 million dollars annually in a league that simply doesn't do that any more. In the new NHL payroll model, you pay your best players a lot, then surround them with a less-expensive supporting cast. While Calgary is obviously an exception (see Troy Brouwer, although he's been playing much better lately too), fourth lines are now typically the home for young and/or cheap players, not the opposite. Of course, everyone is familiar with the devastating situation Stajan and his wife, Katie, persevered through in the spring of 2014 with the loss of the couple’s first child, Emerson, who passed away shortly after birth. Ask any fan, even those that have been most vocal in their criticism, and nobody will have any issue with Matt Stajan, the person. The issue has only ever been with Matt Stajan, the player. But right now and going back to the NHL all-star break, there's zero issues with either. As the conspiracy theorists used to rave, this is not someone merely being played to get him to the century mark in games So he can get that coveted silver stick.

The 'Burning Bright' display includes 645 candles, one for each life lost over the past three years. The candles are a visual representation of the significance of this crisis on B.C. communities. Practice Lead with Interior Health Jessica Mesinger says people are welcome to visit the display at the TNRD Kamloops Library downtown until Friday and bring items to remember their loved ones. "I view this as a community display, this is a personal issue for a lot of people and so we welcome people to bring down pictures or cards or anything else that they want to personalize the display," Mesinger said. Sherry Robinson lost her son Tyler to an overdose shortly before the province declared a health emergency. She says the display not only raises awareness of the crisis at hand, but also serves as a tribute to the lives represented. Robinson is a member of the group 'Moms Stop the Harm' and says a sub-group has been created to help people heal from the loss of a loved one. "One of the things that we've now got under our umbrella of supports is grief support for families and individuals who have gone through a substance use death," Robinson said. "We've just started a Healing Hearts group for families and individuals and it happens on the third Tuesday of every month at the Kamloops United Church downtown from 6:30 to 8 p.m." Kamloops News KAMLOOPS — A travelling candle display has arrived in Kamloops, shining a light on the lives lost...

__label__cc	0.574853	0.425147	2007: Zheng Xiaoyu, former Director of the State Food and Drug Administration 10 comments July 10th, 2008 Headsman One year ago today, China made to clean up its image — with public health advocates, if not with human rights advocates — by executing* its former Food and Drugs minister for economic crimes. Zheng Xiaoyu, China’s drug regulation capo from 1994 to 2005 and only (“only”?) the fourth minister-level official to be put to death in China since the immediate aftermath of Mao Zedong’s reign, was sentenced for extracting bribes from pharmaceutical companies he nominally regulated in exchange for approving their worthless and/or unsafe products. One bogus antibiotic he rubber-stamped killed ten in China before it was pulled from the market, but it was dangerous Chinese products exported abroad — including lethal pet food ingredients to the United States and a cough syrup that killed dozens in Panama — that lit a fire under the export-driven colossus. The court that rejected his appeal explicitly referenced Zheng’s danger to China’s international reputation — simultaneously shifting focus from structural weaknesses by individualizing them to Zheng’s personal failings. On this same day it announced Zheng’s death, China anxiously unveiled plans to safeguard the food supply for its upcoming turn under the Olympic klieg lights. That acid test is now upon it: opening ceremonies are mere weeks away as of this writing. It may have been a politically-driven execution and an unusually heavy sentence, but Zheng’s passing was exulted in China. Someone even tried to put his name on a rat poison — rejected for that most distinguished reason of modern capitalism, Zheng’s own intellectual property in his name. For an interesting dive into the social and legal currents surrounding this case, check out this .pdf edition of Criminal Bar Quarterly. * The method of execution was not announced, and to my knowledge has not been conclusively documented. Gunshot was the longtime standby for Chinese executions, but China has shifted heavily towards lethal injection in recent years; it’s generally assumed that Zheng suffered the latter fate. 1507: Paolo da Novi, Doge of the people - 2019 1941: George Johnson Armstrong, under the Treachery Act - 2018 1835: Ruel Blake, "often seen among negroes" - 2017 1535: Jacob van Campen, Amsterdam Anabaptist - 2016 1584: Francis Throckmorton, plotter - 2015 1654: Gerard the conspirator, and the Portuguese envoy's brother - 2014 1917: "John Nelson", mystery man - 2013 1946: Public Execution in Debica - 2012 1950: American soldiers during the Korean War - 2011 1976: Costas Georgiou and three other mercenaries in Angola - 2010 2000: Dmitry Chikunov, secretly - 2009 2006: Angel Diaz 2002: Sani Yakubu 1951: Albert Guay 1977: Gary Gilmore 1622: Antonio di Nicolo Foscarini 2004: Nam Cam, Vietnamese crime lord Entry Filed under: 21st Century,Capital Punishment,China,Crime,Death Penalty,Execution,Infamous,Lethal Injection,Notable Jurisprudence,Pelf,Politicians,Ripped from the Headlines,Scandal Tags: 2007, 2008 olympics, beijing, bribery, corruption, criminal bar quarterly, economic crimes, fda, food and drug administration, intellectual property, july 10, law, medicine, olympics, poison, product safety, public health, sfda, state food and drug administration, summer olympics, zheng xiaoyu	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0023.json.gz/line3651

He studied Philosophy in Vienna and at the Free University, Berlin as well as Scenic Writing and Film Studies at the University of the Arts, Berlin. He has been an assistant director for Claudia Bosse and an editor for diaphanes Verlag. His documentary film on the civil war in Lebanon was invited to the Berlin Film Festival’s TALENTS programme and nominated for the Bosch Foundation Young Filmmaker’s Prize. He has conceived series of readings and events in Vienna, Berlin and Mannheim. His plays are published by Suhrkamp Verlag and have been performed at theatres including the Akademietheater Vienna, Thalia Theater Hamburg, the Ruhrfestspielen Recklinghausen, Schauspielhaus Vienna and the Karlsruhe State Theatre. He gained his first independent director’s credit in 2017. He has been writer in residence at the National Theatre Mannheim and the winner of awards including the Else Lasker-Schüler Prize, the Austrian Theatre Alliance Playwriting Prize, the Thomas Bernhard Scholarship and most recently the Kleist Prize for an emerging playwright. Together with other authors he was also joint founder of the blog ‘nazisundgoldmund.net’ dealing with the shift to the right across Europe. paradies fluten – verirrte sinfonie (flooding paradise – lost symphony) (part one of the climate trilogy) Like bodies of water the words and images that Thomas Köck creates in the first part of his ‘Climate Trilogy’ close in upon us. Are they floods from paradise rolling up here as a curse, revenge or a blessing for the earth? Or is it earthly paradise itself that is being flooded and made uninhabitable? With powerful language and shot through with melancholy comedy the author brilliantly spans an arc from the early stages of globalisation to the present: from the rubber boom of the late 19th century to which entire regions and peoples fell victim to the madcap export of bourgeois European culture through the construction of the Teatro Amazonas opera house to the story of a dancer who feels the naked power of today’s working world – fully flexible, project-based and self-promoting. Will the floods wash the last bit of humanity away from the earth like a face in the sand at the bottom of the sea? A play that includes a drowning ensemble, an exhausted symphony orchestra, two survivors in climate capsules and an average white central European family.

In reality the aggregate of people’s habits, online profiles etc. is gathered together here, saved, analysed, organised and sold on to decision makers. Its aim is to control society without friction. Of course the data cannot be made public – which, of course, is where they end up. While “outside” the “chorus of disappointed expectations” is already rehearsing resistance and protesting against the measurement and evaluation of its biographies, colleagues within the institute are engaged in a deadly competitive struggle.

__label__cc	0.738284	0.261716	news about the book more herron books Selected Passages Faithful Frustration Many of us feel we have all the government we can stand and more than we can afford. We strongly, instinctively react against politics when we consider waste, fraud, corruption, deception, arrogance, misuse of authority, and burdensome taxes. Many people of faith hold this view of politics and government, and they also believe that government in recent decades has contributed to moral decline and the weakening of traditional values. Anger and frustration toward government today are very high. But if you find yourself frustrated with government, imagine how frustrated we elected officials feel when we try to make government work and often cannot. Time and again, my task is not, as I would wish, to pass needed laws or set up helpful programs, but rather to try to stop bad bills and simply make existing laws and programs work. Often I work to get government to help people, but perhaps even more often I try to keep it from hindering or even harming citizens. Abortion Hits Home He told us our twins were not going to live. He recommended an abortion. "How sure are you, doctor?" I asked. The doctor said he was pretty sure. "Like 90, 95, 98 percent certain?" He replied with a single word: "Yes." The doctor again recommended an abortion. In twenty-four hours, we had six consultations with three doctors at two hospitals. Further tests and a visit with a high-risk pregnancy specialist name Sal Lombardi led to a more hopeful diagnosis. If Nancy could carry the boys several more weeks, Dr. Lombardi told us we might yet take two boys home. Nancy was the minister of discipleship at a church in Nashville, but the congregation - and many other friends - ministered to her during that time. Her Bible study group met in our little apartment as Nancy went on "modified bed rest." We saw Dr. Lombardi weekly during much of the summer, and finally in late July, he told us to come in daily. Standard protocol at that time had only required visits every third day, but just the week before a couple with triplets had experienced the death of one of their babies, so he changed the protocol with us. ... So, what does this story have to do with you and with politics? Dr. Sal Lombardi, the high-risk pregnancy specialist who decided that our twins' birthday would not be their death day, graduated from public schools, then went to college and medical school on federally subsidized student loans. He developed his extraordinary expertise by learning from taxpayer-funded teachers in government-funded universities and hospitals. Dr. Doug Brown, the obstetrician who so skillfully delivered our babies and took care of Nancy, received government-subsidized education and training. The neonatologists who kept our babies alive also received government-funded education and training, as did many of the nurses whose care was essential for the boys' survival. The hospital where our boys spent their first four weeks is part of a private university, but it receives literally millions and millions of tax dollars from our government. But this is only part of how our boys were saved by government and tax dollars. One of our premature babies was treated with surfactant, which helped his lungs develop so he could breathe and survive. That miracle-working, lifesaving drug was developed with millions of tax dollars made available through our federal government. The neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) where our sons spent their first four weeks was itself an invention made possible and developed with both federal tax dollars and private donations. Several other treatment techniques, procedures, and medicines that helped save our babies and literally thousands and thousands of others were developed with government funding. Simply put, if not for the wise and compassionate decisions of men and women in government and the tax dollars paid by us all, my sons would have died. You can see, then, why I am unlikely to agree with any oversimplified depiction of government as evil. In America, politics selects and controls the governments that save lives - or don't. In America, politics and government are often forces for good. If sometimes they do not do their job as well as they should, then we should participate in the process and make them better. Campaign Attacks The ugliest campaign attacks I've endured came when a fellow Christian ran against me. His party's political operatives and some supporters spent many resources not promoting him but attacking my values and character. And this was a campaign between fellow believers. Some people fear that religious freedom can be abused, and clearly it can be. But we can steer wisely between extremes. We can allow students religious freedom in school without infringing on the rights of others. We need not wait for another constitutional amendment to protect religious liberty. We just need to use the one we have. As Christians and as Americans, when we evaluate and vote on issues and candidates, freedom must be a primary concern. We should care about freedom, both at home and abroad, because God does. Political action gives us the opportunity to promote and protect freedom. Faithful politics requires nothing less.

__label__cc	0.685674	0.314326	"Better to Obey." 1 Samuel 15:22 on this week's Word of Grace Devotion with Pastor Joseph Marquez. The Word of Grace Devotion for the Week of May 14, 2018 Better To Obey 1 Samuel 15:22, "And Samuel said, “Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams. 23For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and presumption is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has also rejected you from being king.” ESV Beloved, King Saul had been told by Samuel to attack the Amalekites and to destroy everything and everyone, “Now go and strike Amalek and devote to destruction all that they have. Do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.’” (1 Samuel 15:3) Unfortunately, King Saul kept what was good in his eyes, “But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep and of the oxen and of the fattened calves and the lambs, and all that was good, and would not utterly destroy them. All that was despised and worthless they devoted to destruction.” (1 Samuel 15:9) This partial obedience is how we often serve the Lord. The Lord plainly says in His Word to do or not to something and we perform a version of it to our liking. We need to remember that partial obedience is not obedience at all! The problem is, like King Saul, we think that we have performed what God has commanded, “And Samuel came to Saul, and Saul said to him, “Blessed be you to the Lord. I have performed the commandment of the Lord.” 14 And Samuel said, “What then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears and the lowing of the oxen that I hear?” (1 Samuel 15:13-14) Beloved, King Saul’s partial obedience was no obedience. Our partial obedience is no obedience at all but rather disobedience. The Lord desires that we obey completely and considers partial obedience as rebellion, iniquity, idolatry and outright rejection of His Word! Beloved, do not settle for partially following the Lord. Follow Him entirely out of love like John 14:15 says, “If you love me, you will keep my commandments.”	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0023.json.gz/line3660

Burnt in ideal conditions, a votive candle will last about 15 hours. In ancient times, in the catholic tradition, votive offerings were made to God and/or one or several saints. These offerings were usually accompanied by a specific request to the divinity (protection against a potential or actual danger, recovery from illness, special favour) or were given as a thank you gift for an exauced prayer. Several hundreds of years ago, these offerings could be anything, with a predilection for an item representing the person whose wish had been exauced. For example, on his wedding day, king Henry the third of England had a golden statue made to the image of his new queen and had this (royal) offering placed on the altar of St Edward in Westminster. Nowadays, offerings are far more modest and, most of the time, it's a candle that is set to burn to accompany one's prayer or request. Votive candles are commonly used for that purpose thanks to their small size, relative longevity and the baility to place them in a holder that protects their flame from drafts, quite common in churches. (Source: Catholic Encyclopedia) Votive candles have a characteristic shape: about 5,5 cm (2 inches) and slightly wider on the top than on the bottom. This is why most of the holders available on the market are made to fit that type of votive candles perfectly. Nevertheless, new shapes have started to appear, of which the most popular is probably the flower pot-shaped votive. The fitting holder also becomes more and more readily available. Less common but available from selected manufacturers (both the candles and the molds to create them), the hexagonal and straight side votives (even wide on the top than on the bottom) fit in regular, tapered holders. Sometimes, you'll even find candles that wear the "Votive" label but are actually very small pillar candles... How to burn Votive candles? Because of their shape, the formulation of their wax and the size and type of the wick used, votive candles should only be burnt in a fitting holder, specially adapted to their shape. Doing this guarantees a regular and much longer combustion. Without a holder, a votive has a tendency to leak wax. This is not only quite ugly, remember that all the wax that can escape the melt pool won't be vaporized by the flame and this seriously reduces the burn time. With a holder, every gram of wax is and remains available to be burnt. Votive holders can be purchased in an amazing selection of materials (polished or plain glass, ceramics, metal, ...) and, if you look around, you'll find holders in every price range!

But I never had any names for those feelings. I didn’t have labels that permitted me to communicate with myself and others about my emotions. I didn’t possess a robust vocabulary to help me make sense of the otherwise ambiguous world of inner turmoil. And so, the inner turmoil continued to mount. Because I didn’t have language as the handle with which to grasp my experience of anxiety. Slowly, though, I learned how to name things. I started developing the capacity within myself to manufacture the very commodity I was constantly chasing. And I began announcing to myself that I was the sole arbiter of meaning in my life. That way, anytime waves of meaninglessness came crashing in, I knew exactly how to describe them. What’s more, I knew exactly how to ride them. Because I had a tool for forming experiences into communicable meaning for myself. And that’s the strange thing about anxiety. Like most things in life, once you name it, you claim it. Names make the invisible visible. When you give language to something, you access a significant source of power previously unavailable to you. Because with a name, you can manage it, measure it, conceptualize it, talk to yourself about it, talk to others about it, interact around it, arrive at an understanding about, and if need be, alter or eliminate it. How might the skill of naming redirect your narrative into a more meaningful direction?

This is the twelfth time over 36 years that the they have presented the Aga Khan Award for Architecture. The award cycles have fostered a deeply enriching conversation during this time, one that has involved, altogether over 5000 nominated projects, and over 100 premiated ones. His Excellency Aníbal Cavaco Silva, President of the Portuguese Republic, and His Highness the Aga Khan presented the Aga Khan Awards for Architecture at the Castle of São Jorge in Lisbon. The five winning projects are: Salam Centre for Cardiac Surgery, Khartoum, Sudan: Small courtyard of the container medical compound – AKAA / Raul Pantaleo The Salam Centre for Cardiac Surgery, which consists of a hospital with 63 beds, serves over 50,000 patients per year, drawing from a catchment area in eastern Africa of over 300 million people. The welcoming architecture “provides an exemplary prototype for the region as well as for the field”, remarked the Master Jury in their citation. The Centre meets the high technical demands of a hospital with complex functions, including three operating theatres, while providing a number of eco-friendly solutions to common problems. Mixed modes of ventilation and natural light enable all spaces to be homely and intimate. In addition to solar panels and special insulation techniques, the architects have reused 90 six- metre (20-foot) containers that had been discarded after being used to transport construction materials for the Centre. Cafeteria terrace of the container medical compound – AKAA / Raul Pantaleo Container medical compound room – AKAA / Raul Pantaleo Site plan – AKAA / Courtesy of Architects Revitalisation of Birzeit Historic Centre, Birzeit, Palestine: Birzeit University guest house (before and after restoration) – AKAA / Riwaq The five-year project, which will eventually encompass 50 villages, is part of a rehabilitation master plan initiated by the Riwaq Centre for Architectural Conservation. The project has transformed the decaying town of Birzeit, creating employment and reviving traditional crafts. The Master Jury remarked that the project brought together “stakeholders and local craftsmen into a process of healing that is not merely physical but that is social, economic and political”. By focusing on towns and villages in the area under Palestinian civil authority – where an estimated 50 percent of the surviving historic structures are located and where most Palestinians live – Riwaq realised that it could save much of the local heritage while at the same time having greatest significant socio-economic impact. Palestinian circus school (before and after restoration) – AKAA / Riwaq Birzeit Municpality guest house (before and after restoration) – AKAA / Riwaq Map of the Birzeit historic centre – AKAA / Riwaq Rabat-Salé Urban Infrastructure Project, Morocco: Genral view of the bridge – AKAA / Cemal Emden Linking Rabat and Salé to form an urban hub, the project was born out of a new vision of large-scale regeneration, one in which improved transportation and mobility were to be priority components of the larger urban plan. The project combines exemplary bridge design, infrastructure improvement and urban planning. As a result, the Hassan II Bridge has become a new icon for Rabat-Salé, reinforcing a modern, progressive, twin-city identity. The Master Jury remarked that the project was “a sophisticated and cohesive model for future infrastructure projects, especially in places of rapid urbanisation”. Arches below the bridge – AKAA / Cemal Emden Below view of the access viaduct – AKAA / Cemal Emden Masterplan – AKAA / Courtesy of Architects Rehabilitation of Tabriz Bazaar, Tabriz, Iran: Detail of brick vaults – AKAA / Amir Anoushfar With origins in the 10th century, the Tabriz Bazaar has long functioned as a main commercial centre for the city. But by the late 20th century, it had begun to deteriorate. To rehabilitate the structures, which cover 27 hectares and over 5.5 kilometres of covered bazaars, a management framework was established that involved the bazaar community, municipal authorities and the Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organisation (ICHTO). During the pilot restoration project, the government contributed 85 percent of the financial coverage and the bazaar community contributed 15 percent; in subsequent stages, the bazaar community – convinced of the value of the restoration – provided up to 90 percent of the funding. The Master Jury found that the project was “a remarkable example of stakeholder coordination and cooperation to restore and revitalise a unique structure”. Since 2000, numerous complexes within the bazaar have been rehabilitated, infrastructure has been improved and public facilities have been built. Carpet market – AKAA / Amir Anoushfar Courtyard – AKAA / Amir Anoushfar General plan – AKAA / Courtesy of Architect Islamic Cemetery, Altach, Austria: Entrance elevation – AKAA / Adolf Bereuter Until recently, some Muslims in Austria would send their dead back to their countries of origin for burial. But the desire of Muslims to be buried in the countries of their birth led to the creation of a multi-faith, multi-ethnic group of actors, including local authorities and an NGO, to create a cemetery where funeral rites could be administered locally. The design was lauded by the Award’s Master Jury for the way it realised “the wish of an immigrant community seeking to create a space that fulfils their spiritual aspirations and, at the same time, responds to the context of their adopted country”. Inspired by garden design, it features roseate concrete walls, five staggered, rectangular gravesite enclosures, and a structure housing assembly and prayer rooms. The principal materials used were exposed reinforced concrete for the walls and oak wood for the ornamentation of the entrance facade and the interior of the prayer space. Congregation space – AKAA / Adolf Bereuter Prayer room – AKAA / Marc Lins Site plan – AKAA / Bernardo Bader The Aga Khan Award for Architecture, which was established by His Highness the Aga Khan in1977, is given every three years. It recognises all types of building projects that affect today’s built environment, from modest, small-scale projects to sizable complexes. As this cycle’s recipients illustrate, the Award’s mandate is different from that of many other architecture prizes: it selects projects – from innovative mud and bamboo schools to state of the art “green” buildings – that not only exhibit architectural excellence but also improve the overall quality of life. Since the Award was launched 36 years ago, 110 projects have received the award and nearly 8000 building projects have been documented.

Veranstaltungen \| Events - Part 28 [ Veranstaltungen \| Events ] The Provisional Schedule for the Conference on Irregular Migration: Research, Policy and Practice (Oxford, 7th and 8th July 2005) was announced. Irregular migration is prominent, if not foremost, in much contemporary public debate and policy thinking around migration. The International Organization for Migration estimates that irregular immigrants account for one-third to one-half of new entrants into developed countries, marking an increase of 20 per cent over the past ten years. It has been suggested that this might amount to some 500,000 irregular migrants in the European Union. As a conceptual or legal category, irregular migration includes a variety of kinds of movement and status in conflict with migration laws in migrant-transit and migrant-receiving countries. Irregularity is said to refer to, among other things, illegal entry, overstaying visas, remaining as a rejected asylum-seeker, engaging in prohibited work, and being sans papiers or undocumented. Yet the boundaries of regular and irregular migration have not always been clear; indeed, research shows that in a single journey or process of migration, a migrant might enter into and out of regularity and irregularity. The issues surrounding irregular migration are numerous, complex and variably problematic. For social scientists, the topic raises questions about ethical methods and the acquisition or adequacy of data on underground populations. For policy makers policy matters involve topics such as tackling criminal trafficking networks, tightening border controls, the use of biometrics and identity cards, employer sanctions, removals and regularization programmes. For service providers and other practitioners, the presence and needs of irregular migrants concern the provision of housing, the use of health and social services, effects on wages and the labour market, the growth and dynamics of the informal economy, and a range of question regarding social integration. This year’s COMPAS Annual International Conference will bring together a range of leading academics, policy makers and practitioners to explore and debate together the nature, dynamics and challenges of irregular migration. It promises to be a most topical and relevant event. There is no registration charge for this event but numbers are limited and will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

African swine fever (ASF) is a contagious and deadly viral disease that affects pigs and wild boar. Except for the suffering of animals, it may cause severe economic losses for the pig producers. Lately, the disease has spread from the east through Europe and is present in for example Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Italy, the Czech Republic, Rumania, Hungary and Belgium, as well as in Russia, Ukraine and Belarus. African swine fever is spread via direct contact between animals, but also via the blood and other body fluids from infected pigs and wild boar. Meat from infected animals also contains the virus and may spread ASF unless heat treated. The ASF virus is very resistant and may survive for a relatively long time in meat from infected animals even if the meat is frozen. If left-overs containing the virus are given to pigs or left in nature where wild boar may consume them, the animals may become infected. This is one of the ways the disease may spread to new areas. The European Food Safety Authority has a practical guide on African swine fever; what it is and how to protect domestic pigs from infection: How to avoid spreading African swine fever Do not bring meat or meat products from pigs or wild boar from countries where ASF is present. Do not feed left-overs to pigs or wild boar. Do not leave left-overs in the nature or at rest areas along the roads. Use rubbish bins. If you are visiting a pig holding in Sweden Do not visit a Swedish pig holding within 48 hrs after visiting a pig holding outside Sweden. Use protecting clothes that the holding provides. If you are a hunter If you have hunted in a country where ASF is present, clean your hunting equipment, your clothes and your boots from all visible dirt and blood before using them in Sweden. Do not visit a Swedish pig holding within 48 hrs after hunting in a country where ASF is present. If you bring a dog, which has hunted in an affected country, you should wash its coat before bringing it to Sweden. Meat and untreated hunting trophies from wild boar may spread the disease and are not to be left where pigs or wild boar may come in contact with them. Report suspected ASF cases A suspected case of ASF in pigs must immediately be reported to a veterinarian. All findings of dead wild boar must be reported to the National Veterinary Institute by calling +46-18-67 40 00.

Available from: http://www.journalofmas.com/text.asp?2011/7/1/3/72356 This issue of JMAS is dedicated to a variant of the well-established multiport minimal access surgery, the advent of which in the mid-1980s revolutionised surgical practice and care beyond the dreams of its pioneers. As illustrated in [Figure 1], the adoption of the MAS approach drastically reduced the traumatic insult to the patient not just by minimizing the access trauma inherent to traditional open surgery but equally important, though often overlooked, by safeguarding the internal environment of the patients' organs (the milieu intιrieur described by the great physiologist, Claude Bernard). It is, nowadays, equated with homeostasis such that the gastrointestinal tract is no longer exposed to the operating room air with the attendant dual risk of desiccation and absorption off endotoxin present in the operating room air by the peritoneal and serosal lining. The benefits that have been accrued as a result of the widespread adoption of the MAS approach are well-established but beyond the scope of this editorial except to emphasize that the MAS approach is now the gold standard for many common and advanced operations across the surgical specialties. Figure 1 :Schematic representation of the reduction in trauma of access to the patients as a consequence of the adoption of MAS and variant MAS approaches. In recent years, two variants of the MAS approach have been introduced in the quest for further abrogation of the traumatic insult to the patient, thereby further reducing the postoperative pain and visible external scars [Figure 1]: natural orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) and single-incision laparoscopic surgery (SILS) also referred to, regrettably by a variety of eponymous and unscientific names. In essence, there is at the moment an apparent conflict between these two variant MAS approaches which appears to extend beyond the surgical profession to industry in respect of the underpinning technologies: flexible and rigid optics/instrumentation. As usual in medical science, the truth lies somewhere between these opposing and entrenched views. The situation is clarified to some extent if one addresses the matter objectively and in scientific terms. Thus all the various NOTES interventions can and should be classed in scientific terms as: Hollow-visceral transperitoneal (HVT): transgastric, transoesophageal, transcolonic, trans vesical - access to the peritoneal cavity by planned perforation of a hollow viscus. Squamous conduit intraperitoneal (SCI): transvaginal, transanal - direct access to the peritoneal cavity These two categorise of the NOTES approach are, from the surgical perspective, fundamentally different one from the other in three respects. Thus, whereas HVT imposes a new operating paradigm and requires new interventional flexible technologies which is still in development, it introduces an extra layer of risk (intentional perforation of an intraperitoneal hollow organ), which SCI does not. Thirdly, SCI is performed with existing laparoscopic instrumentation and rigid optics. In many respects, the transvaginal approach approximates to vaginal SILS and the transanal approach (still in its infancy) is a logical extension of transanal endoscopic microsurgery pioneered by G Buess. This may well explain the very limited reported cases with no large series by the HVT in contrast to the substantive series of laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) by the SCI (transvaginal) approach. Even so to date, the transvaginal approach has been overshadowed by abdominal SILS. ¤ Single-Incision Laparoscopic Surgery The concept of SILS is not new and has to be attributed to the late Dr. Raimund Wittmoser, the father of modern thoracoscopic surgery of the autonomic nervous system [Figure 2]. R Wittmoser used a single-intercostal incision through which he inserted a multifunctional port which contained all the instruments including the optic [Figure 2] for all his operations on the sympathetic and parasympathetic he performed as early as the mid-1970s. Without doubt, SILS has had the greatest uptake in routine surgical practice and more than 1,100 LCs have been published to date by this approach with a reported conversion rate of 6%. What is equally important is that SILS has been used for a wide spectrum of advanced laparoscopic operations across the surgical specialties: colorectal resections, bariatric operations, nephrectomies including living-related donor kidney harvest, splenectomies etc. To date 137 colorectal resections have been reported, 60% of these being resections for cancer. The overall conversion rate to conventional multiport laparoscopic surgery or laparotomy has been surprisingly low at less than 4% with a very respectable morbidity (7%) compared to conventional multiport laparoscopic colorectal surgery. Additionally, it appears from the reported series pertaining to resections for colonic cancer that these were oncologically appropriate, certainly with respect of resection margins. Figure 2 :Dr Raimund Wittmoser and the multifunctional port he developed and used for thoracoscopic surgery on the sympathetic chain. ¤ Technologies for SILS The technology for SILS has advanced at an accelerated pace in recent years. All the established instrument companies have produced or market a SILS port and new companies, e.g., SurgiQuest have emerged specializing in novel port systems. Regrettably, however, there have been no comparative studies on the relative performance in terms of triangulation possible and ease of use between these SILS ports, the vast majority of which are disposable. Currently, there are only two reusable SILS ports available: the X-port (Storz, Tuttlingen, Germany) and the EndoCone designed and developed at the Institute for Medical Science and Technology (IMSaT) in Dundee in association with Storz. The EndoCone has a detachable bulk head (cap) with contains six lateral valved inlets admitting use of 5-mm instruments and two central inlets which allow the insertion of large instruments including staplers [Figure 3]. The surgeon is able to use three instruments and an optic at any one time during the course of the operation. Figure 3 :Dundee Endocone with detachable cap (Bulkhead) containing eight valved inlets admitting 5-15 mm instruments (includingg staplers). The instrumentation for SILS has also progressed significantly in the last few years with the development of proximally deviating curved coaxial instruments which enable limited triangulation and retraction without the needs for retraction/suspension sutures [Figure 4]. Intracorporeal suturing during SILS will be greatly facilitated with the introduction of 5-mm hand-held surgical manipulators with six degrees of freedom. These enable graded flexion of the distal segment of the instrument and through the incorporation of an internal wrist enabling rotation of the tip and jaws, greatly facilitate both continuous and interrupted suturing [Figure 5]. Figure 4 :Storz Tuttlingen - curved coaxial instruments designed at IMSaT, Dundee. Figure 5 :The 5-mm DARES handheld manipulator with controlled fl exion of the distal segment and rotation of the jaws providing 6 degrees of freedom. Outstanding issues concerning SILS There is no doubt that there has been significant progress and uptake of SILS by surgeons as a result of the substantial advances in port technology and related instrumentation which has enabled performance of a range of laparoscopic operations across the surgical specialties. Equally, the published experience has confirmed the safety and efficacy of the SILS approach. However, there are a number of important issues which need to be addressed before we can confirm with good evidence that this variant laparoscopic approach does indeed benefit the patient. Thus aside from reduction of visible scars, the jury remains out on whether SILS does indeed reduce postoperative pain and adhesion formation. Likewise the contraindications to SILS have yet to be clarified and defined. There is one potential area of concern and this relates to an increased risk of incisional periumbilical hernia formation. The extent of this perceived complication will only be established by prospective cohort or randomised studies and longer follow-up. Meantime, we need to ensure that these umbilical wounds are closed with a meticulous technique using non-absorbable material. Even with the best instrumentation currently available, the SILS approach imposes restrictions on instrument manipulation, retraction and limits triangulation. The full potential of this variant approach may only be achieved by the adoption of robotic master slave manipulators. Indeed major operations (radical prostatectomy, dismembered pyeloplasty, radical nephrectomy, etc.) have already been reported with the existing DaVinci robot and the US company, SurgiQuest, Inc is designing a custom SILS port for Intuitive Surgical based on SugiQuest's AirSeal single port access. In Europe on major funding from the EU Framework 7 project, Prof Paolo Dario and A Cuschieri are coordinating a large consortium concerned with the development of a low-cost dedicated system for robotic SILS-known as the ARAKES IP project. The ARAKNES SILS robot is currently at the prototype stage and will be ready for animal testing in 18 months time.

__label__wiki	0.501234	0.501234	Photo Gallery >> Automobiles >> Tata Vista Tech(264) Tata Motors is working on a new variant of the Vista hatchback that will be called the Tata Vista Tech. The Vista Tech is essentially the Tata Vista D90 but with a 74bhp FGT diesel engine, instead of the D90’s 89bhp VGT motor. The Tata Indica Vista has been on sale in the Indian market since late 2007 and has been a decent seller for the Mumbai-based automaker and is currently being exported to a variety of markets in and around Europe. The facelifted Tata Indica has the same overall stance and shape as the current car but will get certain new elements in a bid to differentiate it from the current car. The facelifted Tata Indica Vista is expected to retain many of the features and design of the current car but is expected to get many upgrades in terms of features like touchscreen music system, rear AC vents and reverse parking sensors. t is almost certain that the interiors will continue to be in a beige trim with the dashboard and steering wheel in black but we expect the quality of plastics to improve considerably. The Tata Indica Vista is expected to continue with the 1.2-litre petrol engine that produces 64bhp and 96Nm torque and two diesel engines- a 1.4-litre BS3 compliant that produces 70bhp and 135Nm of torque as well as a 1.3-litre BS4 compliant unit that produces 74bhp and 190Nm of torque. All three engines have been mated to a five-speed manual gearbox. We also expect a facelifted version of the D90 hot hatch whose engine is expected to produce 89bhp and 200Nm of torque. The facelifted Indica Vista is expected to be launched at the Auto Expo and will be priced in the range of Rs4.75 lakh to Rs7 lakh. It will compete with the Hyundai i20, VW Polo TDI, Chevrolet Sail U-VA, Maruti Suzuki Swift, Chevrolet Beat, Fiat Punto, Toyota Etios Liva, Renault Pulse and Nissan Micra.

__label__wiki	0.599346	0.599346	Indiensolidaritet Jordens fördömda reser sig! Diskussionsmaterial 37 personer dödade av indiska staten i massaker By indiensolidaritet \| Published May 10, 2018 No Encounter Happened in Gadchiroli on April 22nd 2018 in Human Rights — by Peoples Union for Democratic Rights — April 25, 2018 The killings of at least 37 Maoists by the combined force of the CRPF and the C-60, the elite unit of the Gadchiroli Police, on 22nd and 23rd April 2018 raises some very disturbing questions about the state’s methods of conducting ‘encounters’. In the morning of 22nd April, 64 police and paramilitary personnel gunned down 16 Maoists in Karnasur jungle in Bhamragod area in eastern Maharashtra. The following evening, 23rd April, the police commandos and security personnel killed another 6 Maoists in the Rajaram Khandla jungle, in the Jimalgatta area of Gadchiroli district. Subsequently, on 24th April, the police discovered 15 bloated bodies of suspected Maoists in the Indravati River. As of now, the toll stands at 37. While the Maoists have not commented to the attack, the police has claimed that the Maoists have lost three of their high-ranking commanders and seven women too. Hailed as the biggest anti-Maoist operations in four decades, the entire Gadchiroli district has been sealed off and the police-paramilitary combine are carrying out searches and raids. When the state declares war on its people via encounters, the modus operandi of state is rarely questioned as it is believed that the state is fighting a just war against terrorists and anti-nationals who mostly double up as extortionists and harass the local population—like the Maoists. But, did an encounter really happen at Tadgaon? Media reports suggest that the encounter on 22nd April began after a patrolling unit received specific inputs about the movement of the PerimilliDalam near Tadgaon, about 150 kms from the police headquarters at Bhamragod. The police surrounded the Maoists from all sides while they were having breakfast and were resting. Not a single security personnel was grievously injured or killed. There was no encounter; the state used a time-tested strategy of launching a one-sided attack with under barrel grenade launchers (UBGLs), meant to inflict a large number of casualties. The SP Gadchiroli, Abhinav Deshmukh, denied knowledge of how many rounds were fired. It is known that ‘encounter specialists’ are rewarded with promotions and awards. Not surprisingly, there were celebrations at Tadgaon after the ‘success’ of 22nd and 23rd April and a video released shows the jawans dancing to the foot tapping number of a popular Haryanvi song featuring Sapna Choudhary. It may well be argued that the Maoists have engaged in similar attacks: in Chintalnar (Chhattisgarh) in 2010 when 76 CRPF jawans were killed or in Burkapal (Chhattisgarh) in 2017 when 25 CRPF jawans were ambushed. The pertinent point that is easily forgotten is that the state has the arsenal and not the Maoists. And, when the state decides to kill and not engage in political dialogue with its adversaries, it is necessary to revisit how the state looks upon its enemies and why.In 2010 the then Home Minister, P Chidambaram had said, “If this is war, it is a war that has been thrust upon the state by those who do not have a legitimate right to carry weapons or kill”. In 2016, his successor, Rajnath Singh said, “There is no place for violence in a developed society and it is my desire to see that instances are brought down to an end in this country.” There is no better proof than these ‘desirous’ statements of our Home Ministers, past and present and, which are reflected in the modus operandi of the present UP Chief Minister who has authorized no less than 1000 encounters in less than a year’s time. If the state looks upon itself as the protector of the people, it has to be bound by lawfulness. PUDR strongly criticizes the mass killings at Gadchiroli on April 22nd and 23rd and the harassment that the local population is receiving at the hands of lawless security personnel in the name of searches and raids.

Release G.N. Saibaba immediately! By indiensolidaritet \| Published June 6, 2017 Saibaba, an English teacher with 90 percent disability, and five others were convicted on March 7, 2017 by Gadchiroli sessions court in Maharashtra for allegedly having links with Maoists. The judgment was built on flimsy grounds, concocted evidences and tutored witnesses. Saibaba was first arrested in 2014, after 14 months stay in the Nagapur Central Jail, Supreme Court granted him bail on June 2016 as his health condition deteriorated. Saibaba and four others have been sentenced to life imprisonment under the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act. Another accused Vijay Tirki was sentenced for ten years rigorous prison term. Though all six have been convicted, none of them has been remotely linked to any terrorist and disruptive activities. What is more worrisome is the judge himself admits that it is only the law of the land that stops him from exterminating those who stands in the way of development. And in addition he says “His hands were tied by law which did not permit him to deliver a judgment beyond life imprisonment else could do so”. Saibaba was fighting for people’s rights and everything was within the ambit of Constitution. But he was denied basic rights such as medical treatment. When judiciary itself starts bypassing its role, then it points towards a dying democracy. It is ironic that even while holding these six people are so dangerous that they should be incarcerated for major part of their lives, the judgment fails to point out a single instance of violence that these people have been conspirators in or lent logistic support to. Dr. GN Saibaba’s case needs a special mention not only due to his 90 percent disability, but also due to his failing health conditions. In fact just before the judgment was delivered, Saibaba was hospitalized and was undergoing treatment for gall bladder stones. Apart from chronic issues with his heart and high blood pressure, Saibaba was also suffering from acute gastric condition resulting in cardiac condition along with palpitations. It was indeed the prolonged incarceration in the infamousanda cell as an under trial that worsened his condition to this level. Now even before he could fully recuperate, the judgment has been delivered and we fear that given the dismal track record of the Nagapur jail authorities in caring for his health, his life is in peril. As Hem Mishra’s father said“in this Democracy, freedom is only for the ruling classes but the marginalized people and those who stand with their struggles are being persecuted”. Saibaba was in pre-operative treatment when he was convicted in March and immediately incarcerated and, instead of providing lifesaving treatment, the prison staff have refused to let him be attended by the jail doctor. The condition of Saibaba, currently lodged at anda cell of Nagapur central jail, was deteriorating day by day. He is unable to urinate and his stomach ache had worsened. Before his arrest, Saibaba was undergoing a treatment at Rockland hospital in Delhi. The doctors there had advised surgery for removal of his gall bladder. Despite availing bail, most of his time was spent in hospitals in Delhi and Hyderabad for the multiple ailments he was suffering from. Particularly this time earlier to his travel on the Day of Judgment he was in the hospital admitted with chest pain. In the test it was found that his Pancreas has damaged in gall bladder and to be operated within three weeks. It is not to say that this health report is to be considered on humanitarian grounds by the court but only register the protest against the extra-legal observation of the judgment. It’s a gross violation of justice which puts all democratic values on trial. It is an attack on all sections of intellectuals, teachers and students who espouse and cherish the value of ideas, progressive thought and dissent. Hence, there is a need for a cross-section of teachers and students to come together to speak up against the stifling of voices in universities and space across the country. This judgment strikes at the very core idea of the right to exchange ideas and values. What cannot be over looked is the alarming disparity between various judgment that have come in recent times where those against whom there are clear evidences of instigating mob violence, engineering riots and blasts were acquitted by higher courts.Witch hunting is going on against those raising issues of human rights violations of tribals through operation green hunt etc. the sessions court ignored his health, as he was supposed to undergo a surgery, and sent him a jail on life term. The judgment says that ‘though GN Saibaba is 90 percent disabled, he is mentally alert’.The public prosecutor was responding on the judgment with an observation that it is the first time the white collar Maoists are punished, and it is a message to the intellectuals outside who are supporting Maoist ideology. This proves a venomous mindset of the state. Hence, one has to come to conclusion that this is not a judicious judgment based on the natural justice or the law of the land but given the political prejudice against any kind of dissent against sate. People were prosecuted for ideas in medieval period and that is happening here now. This is not merely a legal battle but a fight to protect democracy. TVV is demanding the unconditional release of GN Saibaba and the other five, provide complete medical facilities, and also appealing to all progressive and democratic sections to mobilize the people and raise concern over the political climate in the country where all forms of dissent are been criminalized.

By indiensolidaritet \| Published March 21, 2017 The old Indian State, through the Court of Sessions of Gadchiroli (Maharashtra), convicted the Delhi University professor G.N. Saibaba to the life imprisonment. That punishment happened because of his important militancy in defence of the people’s rights. Besides Professor Saibaba, five other militants were targets of this unacceptable measure and convicted under the draconian anti-terror law. The Indian government has attacked more and more the people of its own country. In order to expel the peasants from their lands, under the mantra of “Operation Green Hunt”, the Adivasis people villages are being decimated, under constants air strikes and the offensive of mercenary groups working for the government. All this has been done to ensure the interests of transnational companies, especially those in the mining sector. In the cities, there is a growing number of draconian laws targeting activists and people’s rights activists. Besides Professor Saibaba the renowned Indian writer Arundhati Roy also has been pursued by the old State. In India, the number of political prisoners is around 100,000. They are thousands of men and women who have been arrested for their positions and political actions in defence of the people. Among them 10,000 are accused of having some connection with the Maoist movement in the country. The Maoists have been developing a Popular War against the Indian State for decades, and the Indian State has declared total war against the whole Indian people. That conviction of professor Saibaba is a new chapter in the attack over democratic freedoms in India. Under the fallacy of “fighting the Maoists” the old Indian State has been pursuing and arresting those who stand up for the rights of the Indian people and the various nationalities that live under the yoke of the fascist management of the Modi government. Many democratic organizations and for defence of people’s rights in India and abroad have already expressed their repudiation of that conviction given to wheelchair bound professor Saibaba, who has paralysis in 90% of the body, also suffers from various health’s problems. Student organizations, several unions and popular movements have been denouncing that trial was a sham. A lot of demonstrations against this ruling have being organizing across India. Actions will be taken in defence of professor Saibaba and other political prisoners who bravely resist in the Indian dungeons. We call on all democratic and revolutionary organizations to participate of this international campaign. UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE FOR THE PROFESSOR SAIBABA AND ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS IN INDIA!

__label__cc	0.593608	0.406392	Our dear friend, Sheba Penner died on July 4, 2005. I have just spoken with her daughter, Eve (aka Rebbetzin, Mrs. Zalman Schachter). Sheba was in Boulder, at the home of Eve and Zalman, where she has lived during her illness since last August. She was battling with cancer during this time. I first met Sheba at the Institute of Noetic Sciences conference in San Diego. I believe that was in 1994. She sat down at my table as I was just finishing lunch, and we started a conversation. I felt as if I were being reacquainted with a very old friend. I, actually, never left the lunch table until about 4 pm. We were so engrossed in Sheba was a gifted intuitive. While she specialized in intuitive medical diagnosis, she was also very good in the area of business advice. On one occasion in February 1996, she called me out of the blue -- at a crucial time when Janelle and I were negotiating the acquisition of our TMI business. She said, "I know you're involved in an important business deal. And, I need to tell you that you can drive a better bargain that you think. Ask for more!" She was right. It was some of the best advice I have ever received. And, it came totally out of the blue. Sheba also was a presenter at one or two of our Intuition Network conferences...back about ten years ago. She focused on body language and listening to the body. She was also a dancer (and a belly dancer) who loved to work with movement. As I recall, Sheba worked with Jean Houston (who, I think, was a neighbor of hers in NYC) back in the 1970s. It was Jean, I think, who first recognized and helped to develop Sheba's intuitive gifts. As a result of these gifts, Sheba cultivated a deep interest in the paranormal. She was also close friends with Stan Krippner. Not only did Sheba's daughter become a Rebbetzin (i.e., rabbi's wife), but Sheba also filled this role. Her late husband was Rabbi Samuel Penner, author of a book called (as I recall) The Four Gates of Paradise -- an interpretation of Jewish mystical teachings. I'm sure that many others on this list have fond memories of Sheba. She was a beautiful soul, who touched many of us. I sense that her transition to the other side is an occasion for openings of many kinds among those of us who knew and loved her. I'm reminded of the time I spent Yom Kippur with Sheba and her family in Los Angeles. I believe it was in about 1997. The services were very special and were led by her son-in-law, Reb Zalman (one of the foremost, living Chassidic rabbis). Zalman invited the congregation at UCLA to celebrate the Day of Atonement in an unusual way. He viewed it as a celebration -- not as a time of chest- beating, guilt-inducing focus. At one point, during the singing of a special song to me, "Avinu Malkhenu," Zalman actually had the congregation dancing in the isles of the synagogue/UCLA auditorium. Considering that this is normally a very solemn moment in the service, this was quite unusual. Sheba and I were next to each other, probably even holding hands as the dance snaked around. And, suddenly the veils were lifted and I sensed my connection to my Jewish ancestors who had passed over. It was a beautiful, radiant feeling -- rather beyond my capacity to articulate in mere words. I'm glad that I was able to share that moment with Sheba, because we touched eternity then. And, I know we will always be connected. Jeffrey Mishlove	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0023.json.gz/line3710
__label__wiki	0.95536	0.95536	InterStellar News A news site that shows what is happening in space exploration. ISRO technically ready for human space missions The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is ready with technologies needed for human space missions and only political clearance is needed, according to a senior professor. Delivering the spotlight address at the fourth ORF-Kalpana Chawla Space Dialogue here today, B N Suresh, Honorary Distinguished Professor of the ISRO, said as far as ISRO is concerned, its team is ready to undertake such missions. This year's Dialogue was kicked off on Thursday night with the inaugural address by Lt. Gen. Amit Sharma, former Commander-in-chief, Strategic Forces Command and special address by Sunil Gupta, Secretary, Telecom Regulatory Authority of India. ORF Chairman Sunjoy Joshi delivered the welcome address. Prof. Suresh said ISRO is now working on building the heavy lift launch vehicle that can lift five to eight tonnes of payload. These vehicles will be backed by highly powerful Cryo Engine Cluster . He said the future plans of heavy lift launch vehicles are designed to allow India to launch reusable vehicles, heavy platforms and human space missions. Looking at the growing use of small satellites, India is also working on a small satellite launch vehicle also, Prof Suresh said. ISRO is also working on to master recovery of the space capsule and developing a reusable launch vehicle that would reduce the cost and allow reuse of the vehicle. Prof. Suresh said all of India's launch capabilities are in sync with the civilian programme, but not defence. He noted that from a scratch in the 1980s, India's space launch capabilities have improved exponentially to launch 104 satellites in one go. Meanwhile, Lt. Gen. V G Khandare, former Director General of Defence Intelligence Agency, delivering another spotlight address on 'Utilisaton of Space for Military Purpose: A roadmap for India', underlined the need for India to develop capabilities to launch heavier space assets, to match China's capabilities. He felt that China has an edge over India with more satellites and launch centres. He also said India has a long way to go, needs to learn from its adversaries and be able to use its space capability as a deterrent for war and conflict. In the inaugural address, Lt. Gen Amit Sharma said while militarisation of space is very difficult to stop, India should take an active role in stopping the weaponisation of space. He said right now, there is also no clear clarity on what kind of weapons are prohibited in the space, as the treaty talks of only weapons of mass destruction. "Are kinetic weapons allowed? Are laser weapons allowed? Unfortunately, there is no clarity on these issues," he said. Lt. Gen Sharma said with ISRO mastering the job of building satellites, this job should now be left to the private sector, and ISRO should concentrate on newer, tech-advanced areas. He also stressed the need to build capability to look after the assets in space. In his special address, TRAI Secretary Sunil Gupta said the open sky policies of his organisation is going to be further streamlined, noting that it believes in "technology neutral". He also made it clear that the TRAI is against putting restrictions on foreign satellites just because they are foreign. "That is not the right way. We have to see what role these satellites play," he said. Gupta also underlined the need for making satellite clearances much easier. ORF Chairman Sunjoy Joshi noted that while the Indian space programme is already 40 billion dollars, the world commercial space market stands at 380 billion dollars. And it is expected to go up to at least 2.7 trillion dollars in the next three decades, according to Bank of America's Merrill Lynch. Though the US holds more than 40% market share in this industry, the US successes has been coming not from NASA alone but from a dynamic, innovative private sector actively encouraged and promoted by NASA and the DOD, Joshi pointed out. "Goldman Sachs today calls space the next investment frontier. And as this new race heats up, there will as always have winners and losers. Some countries will race to encourage private companies to literally rocket the sector forward far more vigorously and swiftly than would be the case if left to governments alone. Others will struggle with the regulatory frameworks in this area," Joshi said. The three-day conference will see top scientists, policy-makers, practitioners, and all other stake-holders debate various topics and issues. The valedictory address will be delivered tomorrow by Dr. V K Saraswat, now NITI Aayog Member and a former Director General of the DRDO and Scientific Advisor to the Defence Minister.

Here’s what that means. Air Force officials on Friday told reporters that people are clamoring for information on how to join the military’s latest branch. The short answer is, they’re going to have to wait a while. President Trump officially signed the Space Force into law Friday, but for now, all that means is everyone at Air Force Space Command will now be assigned to Space Force. Over the next 18 months, officials said, the finer details of manning and training the new branch will be hammered out and set in motion. “It’s going to be really important that we get this right. A uniform, a patch, a song ? it gets to the culture of a service,” said Air Force Gen. Jay Raymond, the head of Air Force Space Command and U.S. Space Command, who will lead Space Force until a chief of space operations is confirmed by the Senate. “There’s a lot of work going on toward that end. It’s going to take a long time to get to that point, but that’s not something we’re going to roll out on day one.” For now, the 16,000 active-… Bezos says commercial space travel is his ‘most important’ work Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos said Monday that his aerospace company, Blue Origin, is his "most important" project. Bezos made the comments at the Wired 25th anniversary summit in San Francisco, according to CNBC. He added that he expects there to one day be 1 trillion humans living somewhere in the solar system other than Earth. "I won't be alive to see the fulfillment of that long-term mission," he said. "We are starting to bump up against the absolute true fact that Earth is finite." Bezos also said he will spend more than $1 billion next year to support Blue Origin "The dynamism that I have seen over the last 20 years in the internet where incredible things have happened in really short periods of time," he added. "We need thousands of companies. We need the same dynamism in space that we've seen online over the last 20 years. And we can do that."

At an invitation-only event here May 9, company founder Jeff Bezos unveiled a full-sized model of the Blue Moon lander the company has been developing, along with an engine named BE-7 that will power the spacecraft. “We’ve been working on this for three years,” he said after a theatrical curtain-raising to reveal the lander model a half-hour into his presentation. The spacecraft is able to land 3.6 metric tons of cargo on the lunar surface, with a “stretch tank” version capable of landing 6.5 metric tons on the surface. The lander has a deck on the top for hosting payloads, and a davit, or crane, to lower them to the lunar surface. The lander uses liquid hydrogen and liquid oxygen propellants, rather than storable hypergolics. “It’s very high performance,” he said of the choice of propellants. “Ultimately, we’re going to be able to… Theme images by sololos ad astra rocket company alcubierre warp drive boeing starliner cannae drive china space earth like planets earth size planets em drive exomoons Gateway foundation international space exploration interstellar space travel james webb telescope journey to mars kelper kepler-62f moon 2024 nasa budget nasa eagleworks nasa tess neutron star new glenn nuclear propulsion project artemis project orion proxima centauri russia space space new space.mars spae Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite united states space command united states space corps Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket VASIMR virgin orbit von braun station wfirst whener von braun xprize	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0023.json.gz/line3712
__label__cc	0.579279	0.420721	Sponsored By: DLT Simply click on a question to get your answer: Which division will my daughter be placed? Can my daughter play up in to another division? How are players assigned to teams and divisions? Can we request a specific manager or teammate during registration? Will I receive a registration confirmation email? When and how will I find out about my player's team assignment? How do I register for a Loudoun Girls Little League season? Will All-Star play be available at the end of the season? Do we need to provide a copy of the player's birth certificate? What is LGLLS's waitlist policy? The LGLLS Player Agent will strive to place your athlete based on the below guide. This is not always possible as the number of athletes that enroll as well as the number volunteers affect the program. T-Ball (Primarily League Ages 4-6) This is a basic introduction to softball. The players learn the fundamentals through practice and games. Players hit the ball off of a stationary tee and play in the field with coaches nearby to help with instruction. The TB Division is required for all League Age four year old players with placement in this division done by League Age and teams organized by the LGLLS’s Player Agents. It is an instructional division where players hit off a tee rather than hit a pitched ball using Reduced Impact Force (RIF) or “safety” balls, no scores are kept, every offensive player bats each inning regardless of outs, and no player sits on defense. Players are taught the fundamentals of softball such that they are exposed to playing positions and are taught throwing, catching, batting, defensive ready position and running the bases. A (Primarily League Age 6 & 7) This level is intended to be a Transition Softball division geared to 7 year olds with little or no experience and 6 year olds with up to one or two years of t-ball experience. The goal of this division is instructional, with an emphasis on player development, teaching basic skills and introducing softball rules. Pitching at this level is by the coach and neither scores nor standings are kept. If a player does not have success hitting the ball from the coach, a tee will be used for the athlete to gain confidence. AA (Primarily League Age 7 & 8) At this level, players improve their fundamental skills, sportsmanship, and teamwork. Fundamentals and sportsmanship are still stressed along with the strategies required for competitive play. It is an instructional division where players hit regulation little league 11 inch softballs pitched by coaches for ½ of the game and by players for ½ of the game. Outs are recorded with three ending each half inning, and only ten defensive positions are used (meaning extra players rotate sitting each inning). Players are taught the fundamentals of softball such that they are exposed to playing positions and are taught throwing, catching, batting, defensive ready position and running the bases. Players are now allowed to steal bases. Umpires are used, scores are kept, and standings are recorded. A post-season tournament will determine a champion for the league. AAA (Primarily League Ages 9-10) The skills that the players have been accumulating finally come together as they now work as a team pitching, hitting and fielding the ball. Fundamentals and sportsmanship are still stresses along with the strategies required for competitive play. The AAA Division is primarily for League Age nine and ten year old players with eight year old players being allowed to try-out (but with usually less than a dozen allowed by the Player Agent to be drafted into AAA). Players pitch, all players bat in the line-up, nine defensive positions are used (meaning three outfielders), and scores and standings are kept. Trained volunteer umpires enforce Little League Softball and Local Board Adopted Rules. Players are taught advanced fundamentals of softball such that they are exposed to pitching techniques, playing positions, defensive pre-pitch preparedness, live batting, bunting, and aggressive base running. A post-season tournament will determine a champion for the league. Majors (Primarily League Ages 11-12) The skills that the players have been accumulating come together as they now work as a team pitching, hitting and fielding the ball. Fundamentals and sportsmanship are still stresses along with the strategies required for competitive play. The majors division is primarily for League Age eleven and twelve year old players with some ten year old players traditionally drafted onto AAA Division teams as well. Players pitch, all players bat in the line-up, the standard nine softball defensive positions are used and scores and standings are kept. A post-season tournament will determine a champion for the league. Juniors (League Ages 13-14 only) Players continue to refine their skills and compete at a higher level. Seniors (League Ages 15-18 only) Players continue to refine their skills and compete at a higher level. Play begins later in the spring following the high school season. Yes, players are allowed to “play up” into a higher age group, when approved by our Player Agents following an evaluation. Players are not allowed to “play down” into lower age groups. For example, a 6-year old who has played in T-Ball one year, may be moved up to AA, upon request. Also, a 10 year-old may try-out for Majors, but if not selected to a Majors team, she would be placed onto a AAA team. Our registration system is aged based so you will be requried to sign up in the lower division. Please put into the registration notes that you want to be moved into the next division. Our Player Agents will make the change for you once the evaluation has taken place. You may also alert our Player Agents to this request by sending an All players are assigned to an appropriate division by the LGLLS Player Agents based on: • Participant's Playing Age (age as of December 31 of the prior playing year) • Previous Little League experience (number of seasons played and previous divisions) • Manager/Coach evaluations from any previous season • Number of players/teams at each level that can be accommodated by available fields • Overall benefit to league (e.g., competitive balance, scheduling, etc) • Tryout results Those players who meet the criteria for the next division will be moved onto a team in that division; those who do not will play in their current division for the upcoming season. LGLLS does allow participants to request one or two teammates for carpooling purposes during registration. While those requests will be reviewed and considered, we cannot guarantee that requests will be granted. Teammate requests for players will be considered but are not guaranteed, especially if a request will unfairly effect the competitive balance of the teams in the opinion of LGLLS Player Agents. Yes, you will receive an automated registration confirmation email from the league. If you don't receive your email confirmation, check your spam and/or junk email folders. During a LGLLS Fall season, all players are assigned to divisions and teams by LGLLS Player Agents. Team assignment notifications are made via email in late August. During a LGLLS Spring season, team assignment notifications are made via email by mid-March. Loudoun Girls Little League accepts only online registration and payment. You may register during open registration by visiting our website and clicking on the registration link. Our registration system accepts VISA or Mastercard credit cards. What is a “borrowed player”? A pool of players from existing regular season teams can be created with players that are willing to participate in extra games during the regular season when teams face a shortage of rostered players for a regular season game. If you interested in playing additional games, please contact the Player Agent Loudoun Girls Little League may elect to have All-Star teams available to play in the Virginia State tournies for 9/10, 10/11 and 11/12 age groups. If teams are formed, practice will be a few weeks prior to the tourney as Little League, International rules allow for when these teams can be formed and announced. The tourneys are normally played beginning the 2nd or 3rd weeks in July. If you are interested in learning more on this opportunity, please view our All-Stars page. Yes, LGLLS requires all players to provide copies of birth certificates to verify age eligibility to play in the league. The league will keep all copies of birth certificates on hand until the player is no longer eligible to participate in the in league, at which time the documents will be destroyed. For American birth certificates, the copy needs to include the official raised seal. Photocopies of birth certificates can be sent via to our League Secretary, or mailed to: Loudoun Girls Little League, ATTN: Birth Cert, PO Box 3308, Leesburg, VA 20177. LGLLS Player Agents will determine which players, if any, we are able to accept from our waitlist. Players are not necessarily accepted from the waitlist on a "first come, first served" basis. A player will only be placed in a division appropriate for his skill level, which the Player Agents determine according to age, playing experience, previous divisions played, past coach evaluations, and tryout results. When choosing between waitlist candidates with similar qualifications, number of seasons played with LGLLS is also considered. In short, we strive to give players the opportunity of a positive playing experience, while minding the interests of the affected team(s) and the league overall.	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0023.json.gz/line3719
__label__wiki	0.943358	0.943358	Debating the Future of Lathrop Homes Dennis Rodkin, Chicago Magazine Next month the Chicago Housing Authority will announce which applicants will get the nod to do the next piece of its ten-year-old Plan For Transformation: redeveloping Lathrop Homes with a mix of market-rate, affordable, and public housing. But a coalition of tenant groups, preservationists, and neighborhood activists maintains that Lathrop, at Damen Avenue and Diversey Parkway, should get little or no market-rate housing. Instead, the coalition says, Lathrop can be better knitted into its surrounding community by putting amenities on its grassy, 32-acre riverfront campus that would attract affluent neighbors and make the site a community anchor. “We’re surrounded by new market-rate housing [developments], and there are still units for sale in most of them,” says Scott Shaffer, a co-chair of Lathrop Homes Alumni Chicago. “Now is not a good time to put market-rate in, because there’s nobody buying it.” But there is a need for affordable rental housing: the Chicago Rehab Network found that from 2000 to 2007, the seven surrounding neighborhoods lost 34,000 rental units, mostly to condo conversion, says Kevin Jackson, CRN’s executive director. While the CHA’s plan calls for 800 to 1,200 units of housing on the site, with a third of them devoted to public housing, the coalition wants “a commitment to preserve Lathrop as 100 percent affordable and public housing,” says John McDermott, an executive of the Logan Square Neighborhood Association; it also wants the development “kept on the human scale that Lathrop Homes was built on,” McDermott adds. One of Chicago’s oldest public housing projects, Lathrop “is where public housing was done right,” says Jim Peters, the head of Landmarks Illinois, an ally in the coalition’s efforts.

Adeshina Emmanuel/Chalkbeat When Hermosa resident Laquita Simmons got hired as a parent mentor at McAuliffe Elementary School last year, she relished the opportunity to keep an eye on her fourth-grade daughter while also earning a stipend and lending a hand to students at Chicago Public Schools. But Simmons, who had been unemployed at the time and bouncing between retail gigs, also found her calling. “I always wanted to do something that just made me proud, I wanted to leave at the end of the day knowing that I accomplished something,” said Simmons, 31, who was promoted to parent mentor coordinator at McAuliffe. “Each day being a parent mentor I know I’m accomplishing something, because I see it in the smiles of my students and my co-workers.” Simmons was among the 937 parents listening at Schurz High School Thursday when new school board President Miguel del Valle delivered the commencement speech at their graduation from the Parent Mentor Program. Organizers with the program say he was critical in helping establish it more than 20 years ago as Illinois’ first Latinx state senator. PHOTO: Adeshina Emmanuel/Chalkbeat Hermosa resident Laquita Simmons, parent mentor coordinator at McAuliffe Elementary School. Del Valle’s appearance came near the close of a school year where many parents complained of a widening gulf blocking them from volunteering at their children’s schools due to stringent background check policies spurred by the district’s student sexual abuse scandal. Related: How Chicago schools’ fingerprinting requirements are scaring away undocumented parents Parents have also complained about a lack of access to and engagement with school board members. But Thursday, Del Valle spoke with warmth and familiarity to the crowd, which included many community groups and organizers from brown and black neighborhoods, and a strong immigrant presence. “I do have a long history working with the parent mentor program, and of supporting the community schools model…that ensures that parents have a leadership role within their schools,” he said to cheers. “I refer to that leadership role and the involvement of parents as an essential component of our educational system — and it’s a component that needs to grow.” The parent mentor program is run by the Parent Engagement Institute, a collaboration between the Logan Square Neighborhood Association and Southwest Organizing Project, and partners with community groups and schools in Chicago and across the state. It provides parents with the training, coaching, curriculum and instructional practice to volunteer in classrooms as mentors and support staff who help students learn and also who build relationships and provide emotional support. Related: Mayor Lori Lightfoot appoints parents, former grads, educators for new Chicago school board The parents typically volunteer two hours per day and receive a stipend once they reach 100 hours of service. With next year’s state budget for the program increasing 40% to $3.5 million, the program is slated to expand to more schools and serve more students. Families and educators in Chicago have called for more support staff at schools, an issue that the Chicago Teachers Union has pressed as it negotiates a new contract with the district. Nightingale Elementary School parent mentor Erika Mendoza, a Gage Park resident who graduated from the parent mentor program Thursday, was introduced to the program through a friend’s referral and connected with it via the Southwest Organizing Project. She works with kindergartners on reading, math and writing. She’s noticed their grades and confidence improve throughout the year. But the mother of seven has also noticed an impact on her household from the program. “It has helped [my children] with their self confidence, with their leadership, and has helped them to show more respect and acknowledge strength in themselves,” she said. Nightingale Elementary School parent mentor Erika Mendoza, a Gage Park resident who graduated from the program Thursday. Stevenson Elementary School Principal Paul O’Toole spoke at the graduation, giving the parent mentor program rave reviews after its inaugural year at Stevenson. The school, located in the Ashburn community on the Southwest Side, partnered with social service agency Metropolitan Family Services and Southwest Organizing Project for the program and paid for it with help from a Sustainable Community Schoolsgrant from the school district, which the Chicago Teachers Union won in its last round of contract talks. O’Toole said the program offers parents a firsthand view into the classroom that helps them understand how they can help their own children do better academically. “It also gives them newfound confidence and skills they can use beyond the classroom,” O’Toole said. Englewood resident Rebecca Moore, a parent mentor at Bass Elementary School. He could be talking about Rebecca Moore, a parent mentor at Bass Elementary School for third-graders, whom she helps with vocabulary, math, reading and science. Three weeks ago, the Englewood resident graduated with an associate degree in education from Kennedy King College. “I’m excited for myself,” said Moore, who was connected to the mentor program via community group Teamwork Englewood. “This is offering me the opportunity to strengthen myself in a field that I would like to go into, which will eventually be counseling — dealing with our youth — mainly in our community. My goal is to give back.” Posted in News, Parent Engagement, Education, Immigration	cc/2020-05/en_middle_0023.json.gz/line3722

The presentation dealt with current shortcomings in infrastructure and urban planning, while offering effective methods of addressing these problems. Campaign activists stressed a number of troubling issues in Lviv: traffic congestion, vehicular encroachment – parking and traffic – in designated pedestrian zones, the shocking state of disrepair of public transportation, undeveloped bicycle infrastructure, unmaintained public spaces, deteriorating playgrounds, and a host of other problems encountered on a daily basis. Drawing on the profitable experience of cities in Denmark, the Netherlands, Germany, and others, campaign organizers looked into suitable methods and mechanisms of addressing the challenges of urbanization now facing Lviv. Those who attended the presentation were also confronted by the difficult experience of cities in North America, especially that of Detroit, the once industrial giant which is being transformed into a ghost-town, with more than half its population having already abandoned the city. Campaign organizers caution Lviv city authorities against inviting a similar fate and have begun to implement their approaches here. Their preliminary findings will be reported at a future meeting. Demyan Daniliuk of Lypneva.com describes one of the campaign’s goals: "We won’t be moving those who’ve been driving for years already – especially people in high-model cars – over to bicycles any time soon. This would be incredibly difficult. And especially here, in our country, where fines for road violations don’t have any effect and the highway patrol is about law enforcement in name only. Still, there are a lot of people who don’t own cars yet. Our focus is to encourage those people to use bicycle transport." Lypneva.com’s extended the invitation to the discussion to all concerned for Lviv’s future, and who are interested in ways of developing our hometown.
