Hidden cost of shark fin soup
An article from 2006 on the Manta Ecuador shark fishery that puts the Galapagos shark fishing we documented into context (note the fisherman in that case were also from Manta):
Hidden Cost of Shark Fin Soup: Its Source May Vanish, By Juan Forero January 5, 2006
MANTA, Ecuador – Early every morning, the cold water lapping up on the beach here is stained red with blood as surly, determined men in ragged T-shirts drag hundreds of shark carcasses off wooden skiffs and onto the white sand.
Using eight-inch boning knives with quick precision, they dismember the once-mighty predators, cutting off heads, carving up big slabs of meat, slashing off the tails. Most important, they cut off the fins – dorsal and pectorals – a “set” that can fetch $100 or more.
“That is what is really important, the fins,” said Luis Salto, 57, as he cut up sharks. “They sell in China.”
Indeed, the fins are exported in a quasi-legal network to Hong Kong, Beijing, Taiwan, Singapore and other corners of Asian affluence. There, a heaping bowl of shark fin soup, said to offer medicinal or aphrodisiac qualities, is dished up for up to $200.
This taste for fins, marine biologists say, is ridding the world’s oceans of one of its most ancient creatures, threatening ecosystems already buffeted by overfishing. Some sharks, like the hammerhead and the great white, have been reduced by upwards of 70 percent in the last 15 years, while others, like the silky white tip, have disappeared from the Caribbean.
“If you go to any reef around the world, except for those that are really protected, the sharks are gone,” said Ransom Myers, a marine biologist at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. “Their value is so great that completely harmless sharks, like whale sharks, are killed, for their fins.”
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization conservatively estimates that 856,000 tons of shark and their cousins, rays and skates, were caught in 2003. That is triple the quantity 50 years before, as shark fin soup has caught on as an Asian status symbol.
Fins sell for as much as $700 per kilogram in Asia, making big sharks worth thousands of dollars. In the vast dried seafood market of Sai Ying Pun on Hong Kong Island on a recent day, shark fin stores had no shortage of buyers.
“Serving shark fins in banquets is a tradition for Chinese people,” said Chiu Ching-cheung, chairman of the Shark Fin Trade Merchants’ Association in Hong Kong. “Without shark fin, a Chinese banquet does not look like one at all.”
Shark fin soup – which can have mushrooms, fine dried ham, other seafood and clear chicken stock or water, simmered for up to eight hours – is common at wedding banquets or other celebrations. Served to impress guests, it has grown more popular, environmentalists say, as China’s middle class has expanded.
“Catching sharks, for a lot of fishermen, was not a viable financial proposition because the meat was of low value,” said Peter Knights, executive director of Wild Aid, a San Francisco-based environmental group. “That’s all changed now because the fins are so valuable.”
While Asia’s environmental movement has grown, with aid of stars like Jackie Chan and the director Ang Lee, experts say education on overfishing is an uphill battle. With the waters off Asia largely depleted, fishermen are focusing on regions that still swarm with sharks, like the cold, deep waters of the Pacific from Peru north to Central America.
On a recent day, Captain Nelson Laje, 42, piloted a 60-ton trawler, La Ahijada, into Manta’s port, its hold filled with 150 blues and threshers, among the most common of Pacific sharks. His crew tied chains around bundles of sharks, which were hoisted onto the wharf to be quickly heaved onto refrigerated trucks.
“They do not want us to capture the sharks, but we need them to pay our expenses and make a living,” Mr. Laje said. “The shark, the fishing, will never end. Fishing will only end when the water ends.”
Some of the world’s richest fishing grounds, full of everything from tuna to white fish of all kinds, are found off this tiny Andean country. There are also up to 38 species of shark.
By a conservative estimate, more than 279,000 pounds of shark fins, representing about 300,000 sharks, were exported from Ecuador to China and Hong Kong in 2003, twice as much as in the mid-1990’s. Under pressure from environmental groups, Ecuador prohibited exporting shark fins in 2004. Fishing for sharks is also illegal, though fishermen are permitted to possess and sell sharks they catch incidentally.
But with resources for enforcement inadequate and an influential fishing industry bucking regulations, Ecuador’s government has been unable to contain shark fishing, the exportation of fins or the internationally reviled practice of finning, where the fins of sharks are sliced off on the high seas and the carcass is left behind, environmentalists and the Environment Ministry say.
More than 60 countries have banned finning since 2004.
Alfredo Carrasco, an Environment Ministry official who oversees natural resources management, acknowledged that the lack of resources permits “illegal actions.” But he also put blame on Asian countries, where fin imports are legal.
Eloy Chiquito, 43, begins his day at 5 a.m., when he arrives at Manta’s beach with his knife. Mr. Chiquito says he knows the shark population is being cut back. But he argues that there are still days when hundreds of sharks are dragged onto the beach, a sign to him that shark populations remain healthy. “We can get 50 or hundreds,” he said.
When Antonio Llambo, a navy inspector, arrived on a recent day to warn about fines and other penalties, the men with the knives barely glanced up. The buyers did not lose a step, scrambling over shark carcasses with fistfuls of dollars.
“That’s the dynamic in Ecuador – people do what is illegal,” Mr. Llambo said, with a look of resignation.
Alyssa Lau contributed reporting from Hong Kong for this article.

RGEVENT0014 // The Alibi's First Birthday
Real Gold started a weekly club night in the summer of 2007 called Cough/Cool in a neon basement in Dalston named Pier One Nitespot. The venue was great, the special guests were great… but back then nobody wanted to party in that area every Thursday night.
Around the same time we started putting on parties at The Macbeth on Hoxton Street. We promoted some of the venue’s very first events and, we’re proud to say, helped get the ball rolling at what is now one of London’s best venues. The Macbeth’s owners, Mark and Mark, became good friends to Real Gold and they (perhaps jokingly) said that one day they’d buy us a venue of our own as a thank you.
In late 2009 we were forwarded an e-mail from someone who had spotted Pier One was for sale. “Looks like it wasn’t just your night that didn’t work there,” they said. We instantly forwarded the listing to Mark and Mark, begging them to trust us that Dalston was the right
location for a free entry late-night bar. They put in an offer. It got accepted. They gave us the keys. Real Gold had its own bar. The Alibi was born.
Building and furnishing started soon after, all handled by our friends. However, with money quickly running out we prematurely opened doors on 3rd March 2010. The DJ table was an old door, there was nowhere to sit, only one toilet and everyone left covered in dust… but we were open. As and when we could afford it we got ourselves some chairs, more toilets and fixed in a Void Acoustic soundsystem that has continued to play host to an array of amazing and diverse music.
It’s a year later. We’re still going.
This Thursday 3rd March 2011 please come and celebrate our first birthday with us

West Coast Ocean Acidification and Hypoxia Science Panel
From 2013 to 2016 Ocean Science Trust convened the West Coast Ocean Acidification and Hypoxia Science Panel, comprised of 20 leading experts. The Panel developed a body of products that serve as a scientific call to action; synthesizing the state of knowledge and identifying science-based options to address OAH at the regional and local levels.
WEST COAST PANEL PRODUCTS
FORMER PANELISTS
Timeline of the West Coast Panel's Impact
In 2012, California Ocean Science Trust and the California Ocean Protection Council (OPC) recognized the need to harness the growing political attention on OA towards a fuller appreciation of its drivers and impacts. Inspired by the groundbreaking work of the Washington Blue Ribbon Panel on Ocean Acidification, the OPC asked Ocean Science Trust to establish a scientific advisory panel on ocean acidification and hypoxia (OAH) in collaboration with Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia.
"Major Findings, Recommendations and Actions"
This Executive Summary report summarizes the West Coast Ocean Acidification and Hypoxia Science Panel’s work and presents actions that can be taken now to address OAH.
Download "Major Findings, Recommendations, and Actions"
including Appendices (6.5 MB PDF)
Download the full suite of products (47.5 MB ZIP)
SUPPORTING PRODUCTS
In addition to the Executive Summary, the Panel produced as suite of supporting documents on a range of topic areas.
Two-page synopses that provide more detail on many of the key concepts mentioned in "Major Findings, Recommendations and Actions."
More detailed technical documents intended to help program managers translate the recommendations and actions into initiatives and policy.
FOUNDATIONAL SCIENCE
In-depth scientific documents for subject-matter experts that summarize the state of the science on which the Panel has developed its recommendations.
WHY WEST
COAST MANAGERS
SHOULD CARE
Acidification endangers not only the health of marine organisms but also the numerous economic and societal benefits of coastal waters on the West Coast.
WHY THE WEST
COAST IS
A confluence of factors makes the West Coast vulnerable to acidification; a regional, coordinated science is needed to mitigate impacts.
MANAGING FOR
RESILIENCE TO
ADDRESS OAH
Managing for resilience represents an important strategy for “buying time” to slow the onset and reduce the scope of harmful changes.
INACTION
The cost of inaction on ocean acidification and hypoxia, in the form of reduced management options and wider ecological changes, will rise over time.
USING MODELING
TO ENHANCE
Models allow managers to make better-informed decisions about implementing controls on local pollution, and to engage in resource management planning.
APPROACHES TO
REDUCE CO2
IN SEAWATER
Two approaches to reduce the impacts of rising atmospheric CO2 concentrations on seawater carbonate chemistry.
The Clean Water Act's existing water quality criteria for pH are not scientifically valid for application to ocean acidification (OA).
ESTABLISHING
Recommendations for expanding the breadth of research to meet the demands for management-relevant information on the West Coast and beyond.
NETWORK TO
TRACK CHANGE
Recommendations for establishing a sustained, strategic and adaptive monitoring network that is founded on existing efforts and their expansion.
A strategic framework for ocean acidification and hypoxia monitoring intended to provide rigorous decision-support to policymakers and managers at a West Coast-wide regional scale.
Research initiatives focused on providing the knowledge needed to effectively manage the West Coast and oceans in the face of multiple stressors.
Specific modeling needs for coupled oceanic physical, biogeochemical, and ecosystem models, and steps that will help build on existing infrastructure to meet management needs.
MULTIPLE STRESSOR
The need for considering acidification in the context of multiple stressors to marine ecosystems.
EFFECTS ON
The Panel examines how single- and multiple-stressor effects on physiology may drive changes in individual or species behavior, and the structure of marine ecosystems.
AND ECOSYSTEMS
Practical guidance about the opportunities to incorporate ocean acidification and hypoxia management strategies into existing ecosystem-based management frameworks.
NEEDS OF
This document describes potential management actions and associated science needs that will assist managers in making decisions around whether and how best to address ocean acidification. (Boehm et al., 2015)
CRITERIA: CHALLENGES
AND OPPORTUNITIES
This document describes the state of the science for making an impairment assessment in the context of this Clean Water Act process, and in cases where data needed to perform assessments are limited.

AIRSHOW NEWS: Date announced for Culdrose Air Day 2015
Posted by Flightline UK | Oct 23, 2014 | Military Airshows, Royal Navy | 0 |
RNAS Culdrose Air Day – Image © Paul Johnson/Flightline UK
Royal Naval Air Station Culdrose is pleased to announce the date for ‘Air Day’ 2015 – Thursday 30th July.
The annual event, which has become a firm favourite on the Cornish Event Calendar, enables the general public to experience the sights and sounds ‘onboard’ one of Royal Navy’s helicopter bases, whilst seeing breathtaking flying displays in the skies. It’s the only day of the year when the public can ‘experience the world of Culdrose’ and see what happens behind the security gates.
The Commanding Officer of Culdrose, Captain Mark Garratt said: “Air Day 2014 was a fantastic event, with a record numbers of visitors attending from across Cornwall and beyond. Now that we have set the date for 2015, my team will start to book aircraft for the Air Display and military acts for the arena. We will work hard to make it another day to remember and hope to have some very special visitors in the air and on the ground.”
Captain Mark added: ”Our Air Day is quite different from the other Air Shows across the United Kingdom. As one of the few events held within a military establishment, it is often the only opportunity for non-military personnel to come into our world and find out about life in the Armed Forces. It is a day when we invite the general public to meet those serving on frontline Squadrons, learn about our outstanding training facilities, get close to our helicopters and learn about the Operations that we are involved in across the World.”
A list of aircraft participating in the event will be announced next year, however Captain Mark confirmed that: “The Royal Navy’s Fleet Air Arm will be attending in force to demonstrate the versatility and adaptability of maritime helicopters including the Lynx, the new Merlin and the Sea King. The nimble Hawks of 736 Naval Air Squadron will show off their agility and speed and it will be the last Air Day that the Search and Rescue Sea Kings of 771 Naval Air Squadron will perform. We are also hoping to welcome fast jets, aerobatic display teams, historic jets and veteran aircraft, in particular the Royal Navy Historic Flight.”
Tickets for the event will be on sale in the New Year. More information about the event and a list of display aircraft will be available soon at www.culdroseairday.com

#24 – Finding Strength in Weakness: The Steve Lawson Story Pt. 2
Continuing from Episode 23, Dr. Steve Lawson recounts his harrowing tale of contracting cerebral malaria while on a mission in Nigeria, then falling ill a few days later in the middle of Siberia on another mission. In Part 2, Steve describes how weak and frail he had become following the sickness, and the utter helplessness he experienced as a result.
As a pastor, Steve had often preached about helplessness, losing faith in God and leaning on others for faith. After one particularly bad fall in the hospital during his convalescence, however, he realized he had never really lived these lessons. He found himself truly vulnerable for the first time, and that vulnerability ultimately strengthened his faith, having watched his family and the global community they contacted pull together for his recovery. Steve also credits his wife as the “human hero” of the story (after God), as she also fought with losing faith while Steve was in a coma.
After returning home to the States, Steve began physical therapy doing simple tasks like sit-to-stands. He walked with a cane for a while as he had developed ataxia and was wobbly on his feet. He eventually progressed to a barbell and began a Starting Strength linear progression, squatting, pressing, and deadlifting first the empty bar and adding a few pounds each workout. Today he is squatting and deadlifting in excess of 200lbs and he has recovered all of the 25lbs of bodyweight he lost while in a coma.

2019, BMW 6 Edit
2019 BMW 6 Series GT Review
2019 BMW 6 Series GT - Presented in 2009 and based upon the F10-generation 5 Series, the Gran Turismo was established to act as a mix of a sports sedan, an SUV, and a GT. The concept of having the interior of a 7 Series, a trunk somewhat bigger than the 5 Series, and headroom equivalent to the X5 appears appealing on paper, things didn't go as prepared for BMW and the 5 Series GT turned out to be one of the business's least popular designs. As an outcome, BMW chose to change it with a new cars and truck.
It is likewise based on the 5 Series sedan, however this time around the brand-new GT will bring the 6 Series name. It's not yet clear whether the 6 Series Gran Coupe will be phased out or not, however the 6 Series GT is currently being checked on public roadways, an indication that the present 5 Series GT does not have too much time left on the market.
Will the brand-new Gran Turismo design offer BMW a much better shot versus competitors from Audi and Porsche? It's prematurely to inform at this moment, however let's have a closer take a look at exactly what the upcoming 6 Series GT may give the table.
Outside 2019 BMW 6 Series GT
Not remarkably, the test automobile's style is greatly based upon the just recently revealed, new-generation 5 Series. The front end seems similar, with the exact same large kidney grille and arched headlamps that extend well into the bumpers. Camouflaged, the front bumper is strongly formed in the lower area, which might suggest that this model uses a couple of M Sport goodies.
Moving onto the sides, we can compare the profile of the upcoming 6 Series GT with the outbound 5 Series GT. They appear quite comparable a very first glimpse, a better look exposes a lower roofing system height above the B- and C-pillars, a revamped, sleeker quarter window, and a smoother shift from the rear glass towards the trunk cover. The modifications end up being more visible from the back, as the decklid is now raked towards the fascia, while the upper area of the trunk cover is narrower.
The taillights have actually likewise been upgraded, however they're still comparable to the outbound 5 Series GT. It appears that BMW has actually lastly taken notification of all the heat it got for the 5 Series GT because day one.
Interior 2019 BMW 6 Series GT
Our paparazzi didn't get close enough to take shots of the interior, however it's safe to presume that the cabin is greatly based upon that of the routine 5 Series, which in turn takes its hints from the most recent 7 Series sedan. Search for a brand-new control panel with wood veneer and AIR CONDITIONING vents, radio, and HEATING AND COOLING controls incorporated into the center stack, a huge infotainment screen on top, and revamped door panels with extra storage areas.
The basic front seats must be 16-way electrically adjustable and consist of adjustable side reinforces for optimal lateral assistance. Optionally, BMW will most likely provide 20-way adjustable multi-contour seats for the motorist and guest, which can be furthermore geared up with ventilation and massage function. Consumers who go with the M Sport plan will get an M Sport leather guiding wheel, a SensaTec upholstered control panel, and aluminum pedal covers and footrest.
While the front compartment corresponds the basic 5 Series, the back needs to feature improved roominess, much like the outbound 5 Series GT. There must suffice legroom for travelers to extend, while headroom and shoulder space ought to transcend to the 5 Series thanks to the taller roofline.
Drivetrain 2019 BMW 6 Series GT
It will bring a 6 Series badge, this GT will share foundations and drivetrain with the new-generation 5 Series. There's no word on whether the GT will get all the engines readily available in the basic design, however probably it will get both the 2.0-liter four-cylinder and the 3.0-liter six-cylinder at launch. In the United States, the base 630i GT design, provided this will be its real name, will get 248 horse power and 258 pound-feet of torque.
Clients who go with the more effective, six-cylinder variations, will take advantage of 335 horse power and 332 pound-feet of torque. The previous must strike 60 miles per hour in around 6 seconds, while the latter will do it in around 5. Anticipate these figures to reduce a little with the all-wheel-drive alternative.
The North American lineup will be finished by the M650i xDrive GT, which will utilize a twin-turbo, 4.4-liter V-8 ranked at 456 horse power and 480 pound-feet of torque. Charging from 0 to 60 miles per hour ought to take just 4 seconds in this variation.
In Europe, the 530i GT will ranked at 252 PS and 350 Nm of torque, while the 540i GT will get 340 PS and 450 Nm. European clients will likewise have access to a 530d GT diesel design, which will utilize the single-turbo, six-cylinder with 265 PS and 620 Nm of twist. BMW might likewise present a 530e iPerformance variation of the GT, a plug-in hybrid that has an electrical variety of 45 km (27 miles).
Rates 2019 BMW 6 Series GT
Rates is certainly a secret at this moment, however considered that the existing 5 Series GT is around 4 grand more pricey than the outbound 5 Series sedan, the very same might use to the next-generation design. Particularly, with the brand-new 5 Series priced from $51,200 in base trim, the upcoming GT ought to begin with around $56,000. The 640i design will most likely retail from around $61,000, while the range-topping 650i might bring around $75,000 prior to choices.

Continued recovery of Amboseli wildlife
By David Western
Wildlife numbers in Amboseli continue their recovery from the 2009 drought. The influx of zebra and wildebeest into the Amboseli basin in October doubled the numbers counted in August. This is good news for Amboseli and, along with Maaasai Mara, has restored the national park to the top league of wildlife viewing in Kenya. I have not seen such spectacular concentrations of zebra, wildebeest and gazelle around the swamps since the 1990s.
The increase reflect a continuing recovery of herbivores from the 2009 drought in which wildebeest numbers plunged by over 90 percent, zebra by two thirds and buffalo by slightly more. Zebra numbers have recovered their pre-drought levels of 16,000 but are still below their peak numbers in the 1990s. Wildebeest figures have risen to two thirds of their pre-drought levels and buffalo are approaching the same recovery.
The big influx into Amboseli in October also reflects the severity of conditions across the larger ecosystem, as reported in the July posting. With livestock at peak numbers and the long rains falling short in the Chyulus and Mbirikani, Kuku and Rombo Group Ranches to the West, pasture is at its lowest ebb since the 2009 drought. The upshot is a large influx of wildebeest, zebra and livestock that would otherwise retreat to the dry season pastures along the base of the Chyulu Hills. Since July, I have counted the largest numbers of cattle, sheep and goat in Amboseli in many years.
The recovery of wildlife and livestock herds poses big problems that need urgent attention to avoid a repeat of the 2009 drought. The pressure on the pasture is showing up in the monthly grassland plots we monitor across the ecosystem. Grazing pressure has severely depleted the late dry season reserves. Pasture recovery is falling sharply in the rains. The body condition and milk yields of cattle has dropped steeply, making life harder for pastoralists. Herders are pushing their animals deep into the Chyulu Hills, Tsavo West and Amboseli National Parks in search of grazing, causing a growing conflict with Kenya Wildlife Service rangers. Elephants running short of late season forage in the park are spreading out of the park and running up conflict with herders and farmers. The intense grazing and browsing pressure in Amboseli National Park is continuing to deplete woody vegetation and biodiversity. A renewed push to build a cement factory between Amboseli and Mbirikani/Chyulu Hills poses a severe threat to the migratory route connecting the two pivotal portions of the ecosystem.

“Nordic Outbreak” in New York City 0
Arterritory.com
If you happen to be in New York between March 31st and April 6th make sure not to miss Nordic Outbreak, an exhibition of over 30 moving image artworks by established and emerging contemporary Nordic artists. The exhibition is scheduled to launch in New York City, but will later travel throughout the Nordic region and internationally.
On the March 1st Nordic Outbreak already preluded with a video by internationally acclaimed singer-songwriter Björk. A new version of Mutual Core, directed by Los Angeles-based filmmaker Andrew Thomas Huang, will be shown every night as part of a synchronized program on over fifteen of the largest digital signs in Times Square, thus leading up to the official launch week of public space exhibitions, symposium and social events.
Represented in the Nordic Outbreak exhibition are also such artists as Eija-Liisa Ahtila, J Tobias Anderson, Ken Are Bongo, Jeannette Ehlers, Efterklang, Jette Ellgaard, Jessica Faiss, Marit Følstad, Søren Thilo Funder, Sigurdur Gudjonsson, Styrmir Örn Gudmundsson, Eva-Mari Haikala, Iselin Linstad Hauge, Kaia Hugin, Hanne Ivars, Mogens Jacobsen, Vibeke Jensen, Jesper Just, Hannu Karjalainen, Antti Laitinen, Dan Lestander, Una Lorenzen, Pernille With Madsen, Dodda Maggy, Eva Olsson, QNQ/AUJIK, Miia Rinne, Egill Saebjornsson, Magnus Sigurdarson, Birgitte Sigmundstad and Superflex.
Nordic Outbreak is presented by Streaming Museum and curated and produced by Tanya Toft and Nina Colosi in collaboration with four Nordic guest curators: Daniela Arriado, Birta Gudjonsdottir, Kati Kivinen and Jacob Lillemose.

Why is it important to do this exhibition now? How did you develop this concept?
Right now we are witnessing how digital technologies are reformulating artistic practices and distribution. Initiatives like the online video archive, digital exhibitions, and software and video sharing services shape an open landscape of increasing accessibility, visibility and exchange. In this landscape, artistic production and presentation can reflect on itself while at the same time producing itself, in a fluid condition where borderlines between art and media resolve one another. This is the situation in which Nordic Outbreak is born.
This year marks the 15 years since Hans Ulrich Obrist was quoted for describing a rise of international interest in the Nordic art scene of the 1990s, for the Nordic Nuit Blanche exhibition in Paris (1998), which he curated with Laurence Bossé – it was picked up as the ‘Nordic Miracle’. Since then the Nordic concept has been criticized for becoming a label for the art scene of this region. The hype might also have imposed certain aesthetic expectations to Nordic art (minimalism, intimacy, social realism, perfectionism, romanticism, melancholia, nature, existentialism).
With that in mind, this project was never about unifying or simplifying what Nordic aesthetics is about now, today, 15 years after the ‘Nordic Miracle’ – after a period in which we witnessed the digital revolution. This has completely revamped the means and modes of artistic production and presentation, not just in the Nordic art scene, of course, but digital archives, online distribution of works, access to information about exhibitions and festivals and so on have changed the scene. I don’t think it is problematic to bring focus onto what is going on in one artistic area (moving image) in a geographical context, as long as you have an idea behind doing a Nordic show.
I did a lot of research on this “Nordic complex,” and it led me to how you can think about the Nordic concept today, how it gains its contemporary relevance, and considerations of how to work with or against it. The idea behind this program was to highlight what is going on in the moving image in this region, what critical reflections on society are put forward, and how the works respond to international influences. The overall objective is to bring these works to public spaces and in dialogue with urban situations.
I am Danish but have lived in New York for the past four years, and I think that perspective from “the outside” made me consider to what extent the Nordic does have a peculiar meaning. Not necessarily in aesthetics, but because of the societal and cultural framework that these artists have developed within – or which they depart from.

What are the benefits of presenting this exhibition outside the white cube?
The concept behind Nordic Outbreak is developed in the light of the “open” exhibition structure of Streaming Museum, which since 2008 has sent moving image exhibitions around the world on big screens, inspired by the ideas of Nam June Paik of the internet as an “electronic superhighway”.
The notion of art to the public in public space is a debated topic, but basically there is a democratic motivation behind it relating to accessibility. I am interested in what the artwork can bring to public space, but also what public space can bring to the artwork. That is part of the experiment with Nordic Outbreak.
When these works are shown in urban contexts in New York, Nuuk and Helsinki for example, they enter a new local discourse in every single installation that they would not have been so directly confronted with in the white cube. While some meaning in the artwork is intended by the artist, some is always left to the audience, and when presented in public space I think a certain ‘meaning in context’ can be added.
How did you base your selection on which artists to include in the Nordic Outbreak exhibition?
Since the artworks were selected for a public space program, we took a starting point in some overall guidelines – of avoiding offensive material, of not depending on a complex narrative, and the selected works had to “work” in urban space. These were basic criteria for our research, before thematic analysis and attention to medial exploration in the works.
What we have particularly been looking for is artworks that break with Nordic discourses – political, cultural and aesthetic. These self-reflective, confrontational qualities are not often brought to an international art scene, but we wanted to reveal, what is under the surface of “the happiest people,” and we were particularly interested in themes that mirrored international realities.
We also invited four guest curators that are based in a Nordic art context and asked for their recommendations of works and themes that they find interesting right now.

Is the Nordic region in fashion right now?
Nordic design, cuisine, and fashion are having a momentum right now, of international interest at least. I am also thinking about those surveys of “the happiest people,” which instigate certain optimism.
Are there any common characteristics embedded in the works by Nordic artists?
I don’t think there is one driving aesthetic, but the artworks in Nordic Outbreak share some lines of relationships. Many of them show symptoms of improvisation and play, which is somewhat “new” in a Nordic art context, which might have been characterized more by control and high quality.
Some of the artworks express aesthetic cultures that were not “born” out of a Nordic context. There is a struggle between introspection and extroversion – following a right wing and nationalist political period in some of Nordic countries up through the 2000s, financial crisis, and in response to the digital age. There seems to be a clash between looking in and looking out, guarding and departing.
Also, in quite a few of these works, existential questions are brought beyond the individual and psyche – which has been a tendency, perhaps – and pointed toward one’s role in a greater context.
It is also characteristic that these artists express the awareness of the medium they are working with, for example in the works of Marit Følstad, Mogens Jacobsen, and Iselin Linstad Hauge.

What role does the moving image play within the contemporary art scene?
The moving image is not a new “genre,” but the tools that are used to create software pieces and animation, for an example, are new, and the term of ‘moving image’ is expanding somehow, far beyond video. What I find exciting about moving image is the flexibility of this art form, in terms of distribution but also in terms of installation, if you compare it to the fixity of the painting, for an example.

Abstract Development of quantitative, safe and rapid techniques for assessing embryo quality provides significant improvements in Assisted Reproductive Systems (ART). Instead of assessing the embryo quality by the standard morphologic evaluation, we apply the phasor-FLIM (Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging Microscopy) method to Kenpaullone capture endogenous fluorescent biomarkers of pre-implantation embryos as a non-morphological caliber for embryo quality. Here, we recognize, under hypoxic and non-hypoxic circumstances, the initial spectroscopic trajectories at different levels of mouse pre-implantation advancement, which is known as the developmental, or D-trajectory, that includes fluorescence life time from different levels of mouse pre-implantation embryos. The D-trajectory correlates with intrinsic fluorescent species from a unique energy metabolic process and oxidized lipids, as noticed with Third Harmonic Era (THG) that adjustments as time passes. In addition, we’ve described a non-morphological Embryo Viability Index (EVI) to tell apart pre-implantation embryo quality using the length Evaluation (DA), a machine learning algorithm to procedure the fluorescence life time distribution patterns. We present, under our experimental circumstances, that the phasor-FLIM approach offers a much-needed noninvasive quantitative technology for determining healthful embryos at the first Kenpaullone compaction stage with 86% precision. The DA and phasor-FLIM method might provide the chance to boost implantation success prices for fertilization treatment centers. fertilization (IVF) is among the most significant steps toward effective pregnancy1. The typical noninvasive solution to assess embryo quality and viability depends on the visible inspection of embryo morphology regarding to predefined requirements such as cellular division patterns, the amount of pronucleoli in cleavage levels2,3, and the physical features of the blastocyst4. Assisted reproduction through morphological evaluation is normally labor intensive and extremely reliant on the functionality of individual doctors been trained in these techniques. Advancement of even more quantitative and objective opportinity for assessing embryo quality that are simpler, safer, and quicker could offer significant advantages in assisted reproduction by allowing one embryo transfers as opposed to the implantation of multiple embryos to be able to boost the odds of an effective being pregnant. Given the restrictions of morphological evaluation, several technology have already been explored for the evaluation of embryo viability. Included in these are the measurement of metabolites in embryonic lifestyle media, BPES1 in addition to genomic and proteomic profiling of the embryos themselves5. For instance, spectroscopic techniques have been used to gauge the amount of metabolites such as for example pyruvate, lactate, and glucose in the mass media during embryo lifestyle6,7. Nevertheless, these techniques are time-eating and need highly-trained personnel to investigate the complicated data8. Both genomic and proteomic profiling are similarly frustrating and can damage the embryo through the procedure. Right here, we apply the phasor-fluorescence life time imaging microscopy (FLIM) technique and examine the powerful endogenous biomarker (metabolites as defined below) adjustments during preimplantation embryo advancement. Predicated on the quantifiable physiological residence adjustments, we correlate the biomarker adjustments to the embryo viability (Fig.?1). This noninvasive phasor-FLIM evaluation is delicate, quick and intuitive. Open in another window Figure 1 Schematic of the workflow Kenpaullone of the experimental style. (a) We gathered FLIM images of embryos from superovulated woman mice at the following developmental stages: 2-cell, morula, compaction, early blastocyst, and blastocyst. (b) Intrinsic fluorescence lifetimes for each embryo are collected using a Zeiss 710 microscope coupled with a FLIM-package. (c) The FLIM data analysis of the pre-implantation mouse embryo development was performed using the phasor approach. (d) Distance Analysis (DA) system was applied to predict embryo viability. FLIM produces an image, based on the exponential decay rates at each pixel from a fluorescent sample. The fluorescence lifetime of the fluorophore signal is definitely measured to generate the image via FLIM9 (Fig.?S1A). When FLIM is coupled with two-photon excitation microscopy, molecules are excited at longer wavelengths (with lower energy photons). This prevents photodamage and allows deeper imaging, resulting in superior image quality10. Since endogenous molecules such as collagen, retinoids, flavins, folate and NADH (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide) are fluorescent in live cells11,12, we can collect fluorescence lifetime data to identify these intrinsic fluorescent species. The contributions from these different biochemical species are indicators of an embryos biochemical house13,14. In our approach, we measure the fluorescent lifetime signal from integrated images acquired and transform the raw data using the Fourier transformation to the average arrival time of emitted photons in each pixel, represented by polar coordinates g and s.

Neurenteric cysts are uncommon, benign, endodermally derived tumors of the central nervous system. normal. JTC-801 manufacturer Gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exposed a well-defined lobulated lesion in the ventral cervicomedullary region from medulla to top border of C2 vertebra. The lesion was heterogeneous in appearance; the anterior part measured 2.8 1.6 cm and was hypointense and hyperintense on T1- and T2-weighted images, respectively; while the 1.7 1.1 cm sized posterior part was iso to mildly hyperintense on T1 and heterogeneously hyper intense on T2-weighted sequences [Figure ?[Number1a1a and ?andb].b]. The anterior section of the lesion was isointense, whereas the posterior part was hyperintense on fluid attenuation and inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences. There was moderate restriction on diffusion-weighted sequences. On post-contrast study, rim enhancement was evident in the posterior section of the lesion [Figure 1c]. Preoperative analysis was neurenteric cyst. Surgical treatment was performed in prone position. A midline suboccipital craniectomy (with bone removal more on remaining part), left-sided C1 posterior arch removal, and partial C2 hemilaminectomy were performed. Intraoperatively, there was a well-defined, intradural, extra-medullary encapsulated, relatively avascular, lobulated lesion containing very easily suckable, cheesy material located anterior to medulla extending up to C2 vertebral level. Vertebral artery, lower cranial nerves, and posterior inferior cerebellar artery were well visualized and preserved. Tumor decompression was followed by near total excision of the cyst wall in view of adherence of the cyst wall focally to surrounding vital structures. Postoperative program was uneventful and he was discharged on 7th postoperative day time and is currently on regular follow-up.

The nitrous oxide (N2O) reduction pathway from a soil bacterium, gene,

The nitrous oxide (N2O) reduction pathway from a soil bacterium, gene, and other transgenic plants expressing N2OR together with the more complete operon from proved functional using the methyl viologen assay. often does not happen if ideal metabolic conditions are not met, and results in emission of N2O (Zumft 1997). Furthermore, approximately a third of the denitrifying bacteria that have experienced their genomes sequenced possess a truncated denitrification pathway, lacking the gene encoding HDAC5 the N2OR (Philippot et al. 2011). This last step of denitrification could become a core AZD8055 kinase activity assay strategy for mitigating N2O emissions if crops could be improved with this agronomic trait. The microbial N2OR is the only known biological catalyst that can catalyze the conversion of N2O to N2. The N2OR holoenzyme consists of two identical subunits of 65.8 kDa, each containing six copper atoms. It catalyzes the copper-dependent two-electron reduction of N2O to water and dinitrogen gas, which takes place in the bacterial periplasm (Pomowski et al. 2011). In (Zumft 1997). The complete operon consists of five additional genes, encodes a transcriptional regulator, encode an ABC-type transporter, and encodes a copper chaperone (Honisch and Zumft 2003). Here, we present a means of mimicking bacterial denitrification in vegetation by endowing them with the recombinant N2OR enzyme. This is a novel method of phytoremediation since, to our knowledge, nobody has used vegetation as a means of mitigating this particular greenhouse gas at its resource AZD8055 kinase activity assay in the soil. Plant roots are in direct contact with the microbial community in the rhizosphere. They secrete numerous chemicals into the rhizosphere, having a large impact on soil chemistry (Philippot et al. 2009). Tobacco plant roots have been used as a recombinant protein production system using root-specific promoters for the gene of interest (Drake et al. 2003). Promoting total denitrification in the rhizosphere in this way may get rid of N2O emissions at the source. The substrate, N2O, produced by denitrifiers in the rhizosphere could potentially bind to the catalytic enzyme, N2OR, secreted by transgenic tobacco plant roots. N2O reduction would occur, resulting in the launch of N2 gas into the soil air flow pockets and eventually in to the atmosphere. To check this hypothesis, so that they can obtain N2OR expression cv. Xanthi nc. plant life were changed with the one gene. Another group of transgenic plant life were also changed with the even more comprehensive operon, Zobell (ATCC 14405) cellular material had been plated on Luria broth (LB)-agar moderate and grown at 30C for 48 h. An individual colony was utilized AZD8055 kinase activity assay to inoculate 5 mL of liquid LB moderate, and mix was incubated at 30C over night with shaking. The bacterial lifestyle was put into 100 mL liquid LB moderate and incubated for 3 h. Ways of Neumann et al. (1992) were implemented for extraction of genomic DNA. A complete of 100 mL bacterial lifestyle was centrifuged at 3000 for 15 min at 4C, the pellet was washed in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) buffer, and resuspended in 5 mL Place (75 mM NaCl, 25 mM EDTA, 20 mM Tris pH 7.5). Lysozyme was put into a focus of just one 1 mg mL?1, and the resulting suspension incubated in 37C for 30 min, mixing occasionally by inversion. To inactivate DNases, 0.5 mL of proteinase K (1 mg mL?1) was added along with 0.5 mL 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and mixture was incubated at 55C for 2 h with occasional.

The sLOX-1 levels were Telaprevir biological activity significantly higher in nongravidity group than pregnancy followed by delivery group (0.78 0.13?ng/mL and 0.52 0.18?ng/mL, resp., 0.001). The sLOX-1 levels highly negatively correlated with the number of gravida (Number 2, = ?0.645, 0.001). Figure 3 shows a highly bad correlation between sLOX-1 levels and number of parous (= ?0.683, 0.001). The sLOX-1 levels were not correlated with age and age of 1st menarche (= 0.055, = 0.541 and = ?0.015, = 0.865, resp.).

Debate To the very best of our understanding, this is actually the first research that shows the partnership between sLOX-1 amounts and pregnancy accompanied by delivery in females of reproductive age group. This research showed that females who acquired at least 1 being pregnant accompanied by delivery demonstrated a decreased degree of sLOX-1 weighed against those that had by no means experienced delivery. The sLOX-1 amounts had significantly detrimental correlation with gravida and parous. We hypothesized that if females have been uncovered for a bit longer and/or at an increased level to endogenous (not really exogenous) estrogen, such as for example pregnancy accompanied by delivery and/or gravidity, they could obtain estrogen’s helpful effect and could have a larger decrease in degree of sLOX-1. These results may support the theory that provided that females face endogenous estrogen they will have decreased degree of sLOX-1. Coronary artery disease continues to be the leading reason behind loss of life in the 21st century. Regardless of the advances of this type, it really is still the root cause of loss of life among ladies in created countries [20]. The prevalence of CAD in premenopausal females is smaller sized than in postmenopausal females, when there’s an exponential boost, making the chance for women add up to that for guys by age 65C70 years. This lag regarding the age group period of which the regularity of cardiovascular occasions increases among females in comparison with men provides been ascribed to the Rabbit polyclonal to STK6 activities of endogenous estrogen on the heart, through mechanisms up to now not totally clarified. The well-known dangers for CAD, such as for example systemic hypertension, smoking cigarettes, unhealthy weight, sedentary life-design, dyslipidemia, stress, genealogy of Telaprevir biological activity CAD, diabetes mellitus, menopause, insufficient endogenous estrogen, and insulin level of resistance, are numerous [21]. Recently, endothelial vascular dysfunction is becoming suspected to be connected with CAD. The word endothelial dysfunction is normally more frequently utilized to refering decrease in endothelium-dependent vasodilatation, connected with diminished bioactivity of regional vasodilative factors (specifically NO). Data from potential trials have already been confirming the hypothesis that endothelial dysfunction precedes the emergence of chronic disorders. Currently, this is a consensus that endothelial dysfunction may be the preliminary event in advancement of atherosclerosis [22]. There are plenty of approaches for investigating the endothelial function, from the ones that concentrate on cellular and molecular factors, through methods involving tissue tradition and molecular biology tools, to medical trials applied to human beings, using invasive and noninvasive procedures to evaluate endothelium-dependent vasodilatation, or the dedication of plasmatic substances that indicate endothelial activation and/or damage. The incidence of CAD and mortality is very low in ladies of reproductive age but rises to a significant level in menopause ladies [23]. There is evidence of an association between endothelial dysfunction and reduced endogenous production of estrogens after natural or.

Results: Statistically significant (0.005*) intragroup improvements were seen with the hard and soft parameters in both test and control groups, except for GML. Statistically significant improvements were seen with the imply defect fill (CEJ-BOD and AC-BOD) (= 0.003*) when intergroup comparisons were made. Conclusions: Adjunctive use of PRF with Fisetin inhibitor OFD significantly enhances defect fill when compared to OFD only. PRF has consistently been showing regenerative potential; it is simple, easy and inexpensive biomaterial compared with bone grafts. = 0.87 for PD; = 0.91 for RAL; = 90 GML). PD, RAL and GML values were estimated to their nearest millimeter. Surgical procedure About 0.12% chlorhexidine digluconate was used as pre-surgical rinse. Iodine answer swab was used to carry out an extraoral antisepsis. After the administration of lignocaine 1:2,00,000 adrenalin local anesthesia, buccal and lingual sulcular incisions were made, and mucoperiosteal flaps were reflected. Maximum interproximal soft tissue was preserved. Root planning followed by debridement of the defect were carried out using ultrasonic instruments (EMS V-Dent, Shantou, Guangdong, China) and area-specific curets (Gracey curets, Hu-Friedy). No osseous recontouring was carried out. PRF of the required size was squeezed into the defects. Also, PRF of required size was used to cover the defect as a membrane. Repositioning of the mucoperiosteal flap was performed and the flap was guaranteed utilizing a 3-0 nonabsorbable silk suture (Ethicon, Johnson and Johnson, Somerville, NJ, United Fisetin inhibitor states). Interrupted sutures were placed. A periodontal Fisetin inhibitor dressing was placed in safety TEK over the surgical site (Coe-Pak, GC America, Chicago, IL, USA). Post-operative instructions and appropriate antibiotics and analgesics (Novamox LB 500 mg, twice per day time; and Diclofenac three times a day time, for 3 days) were prescribed. Post-operative care Individuals were recommended to rinse with chlorhexidine gluconate mouthrinse (0.12%) twice daily for a period of 15 days. At 1 week postoperatively, periodontal dressing and sutures were removed. Povidine-iodine answer was used to rinse the surgical site and the individuals were instructed for mild brushing with a smooth toothbrush. Each individual was re-examined weekly up to 1 one month after surgical treatment and then at 3 and 9 weeks, and oral hygiene instructions were reinforced at each recall check out. No subgingival instrumentation was attempted at any of these appointments. Post-surgical measurements Soft and hard tissue evaluation was performed 9 weeks after surgical treatment. Soft tissue measurements were repeated with previously used acrylic stents. For hard tissue reevaluation, second IOPA of the same study site was carried out and IBD measurement was reassessed at 9 months. Main and secondary end result measures The primary end result of the study was bone defect fill evaluated radiographically. The secondary outcomes include changes in PD, CAL, mSBI and PI. Statistical analysis The data were analyzed using statistical software (SPSS v.20, IBM, Chicago, IL, USA). Power calculations were performed before the study was initiated. To accomplish 90% power and detect mean variations of the medical parameters between organizations. The Fisetin inhibitor results were averaged (mean standard deviation) for each medical and radiographical parameter at baseline and Fisetin inhibitor 9 weeks. mSBI and PI were expressed as complete and relative counts and assessment was performed using Chi-square test. Results Wound healing was uneventful for all treated instances. Soft tissues healed within normal limits, and no significant visual differences were mentioned between the treatment organizations. A statistically significant reduction in the PI and mSBI was observed in both the test and control sites at 9 weeks postoperatively. However, the difference between the test and control sites was statistically insignificant (Tables ?(Tables11 and ?and2).2). Intra group and Inter group comparisons showed statistical significant reduction with PD and RAL and no difference was observed with GML levels (Tables ?(Tables33 and ?and4).4). Statistically.

In this record, we offer unexpected evidence a significant more than anti-oxidants such as for example Vc and dopamine can facilitate copper-induced degradation of As. Our outcomes may be highly relevant to the beneficial ramifications of a wholesome lifestyle on Advertisement avoidance and treatment. Originally, Cu(ii) ions results on A have already been regarded as the reason for the dangerous cross-linking of As, which significantly plays a part in the advancement of Alzheimers disease.11C14 However, we recently accidentally found that Cu(ii) may possibly Trichostatin-A price also induce A degradation in the current presence of extrinsic anti-oxidants such as for example Vc and endogenous anti-oxidants such as for example dopamine. It really is thought that the cross-linking of A induced by Cu(ii) hails from an oxidative response with As. Atwood reported that Cu(ii) could coordinate with Histidine 6, 13, and 14 (H6, 13, and 14) of A peptides, and may be further decreased by Vc to initialize the oxidative cross-linking of tyrosine (Y10) of As.15 Cross-linking and degradation of the proteins will be the two primary outcomes of an oxidative result of proteins/peptides.16C25 Regarding A, the cross-linking of A by oxidative reactions has been well known,11,12,26,27 however oxidative degradation of A, to the very best our understanding, is not intensively investigated and has been overlooked previously decades. Throughout our investigation, Trichostatin-A price we utilized a fluorescent dye-conjugated A (FAM-A42) for planning of the cross-linking items with Cu(ii) and Vc. Unexpectedly, two fast migrating bands had been detected on the SDS-Web page gels. Their molecular weights had been significantly less than 4KD, indicating that these were degraded fragments of As. To research the oxidative degradation of As, we first utilized nanoLC-MS/MS to identify the degraded fragments from native A42 and FAM-A42, and then we proposed a possible degradation mechanism. To further elucidate the mechanism, a peptide fragment was used to mimic the degradation reactions. Following these studies, we used FAM-A42 as a model peptide to examine the effects of different metal ions including Fe(iii), Fe(ii), Cu(ii) and Zn(ii), different reductants including well-known extrinsic compounds such as Vc, curcumin, resveratrol and vitamin E (Ve), and intrinsic compounds such as norepinephrine (NE) and dopamine (DOPA) on the degradation of A. Moreover, we showed that the combination of an anti-oxidant and an anti-aggregating drug could slightly increase the Hhex fraction of the degradation products. We also investigated whether the combination of Cu(ii) and anti-oxidants could provide neuronal protection benefits. Remarkably, field excitatory postsynaptic potential (fEPSP) recording on mouse brain slices indicated that the combination of Cu(ii) and a significant excess of Vc could prevent synaptic impairment induced by As. Results 1. Discovery of the degradation of FAM-A42 by Cu(ii) and Vc The combination of Cu(ii) and Vc has been used to investigate the crosslinking of A.15 In the course of screening crosslinking inhibitors, we incubated FAM-A42 with copper sulfate and Vc for 24 hours, and the mixture was then subjected to SDS-PAGE gel electrophoresis. Since FAM is a fluorescent dye, we imaged the gel directly on an imaging system. Surprisingly, we observed two fluorescent bands (bands A and B in Fig. 1a) that migrated faster than the monomeric bands on the gel, suggesting that their molecular weights are less than 4KD, and thus also strongly suggesting that they represent degraded segments of FAM-A42 (Fig. 1a). Control experiments with Cu(ii) only were conducted, and no degradation.

Supplementary Materials Supplemental Data supp_286_39_33709__index. in yeast cells. The factors required for general transcription such as TATA-binding protein, RNA polymerase II, and TFIIH are not a component of the TFIIB complex. This holo-TFIIB complex was resistant to MNase digestion. The complex was observed only in the looping-competent strains, but not in the looping-defective strain. The requirement of Rna15 in gene looping has been demonstrated earlier. Here we provide evidence that poly(A) polymerase (Pap1) as well as CF1 subunits Rna14 and Pcf11 are also required for loop formation of and genes. Accordingly, cross-linking of TFIIB to the 3 end of genes was abolished in the mutants of Pap1, Rna14, and Pcf11. We further show that in cells, where holo-TFIIB complex is not formed, the kinetics of activated transcription is altered. These results suggest that a complex of TFIIB, CF1 subunits, and Pap1 exists in yeast cells. Furthermore, TFIIB conversation with the CF1 complex and Pap1 is crucial for gene looping and transcriptional regulation. gene was followed by its transcriptional repression in breasts cancers cell lines (9), whereas individual monocyte immunohistological marker gene exhibited effective transcription-coupled splicing of its precursor mRNA upon loop development (7). Lately, gene looping was defined as the molecular basis of transcriptional storage (10, 12). Hence, gene looping may have different regulatory jobs in various cellular contexts. The rising ubiquity of gene looping and its own potential as a significant transcription regulatory system necessitates understanding the system of loop formation. Latest studies have got implicated TFIIB4 as a significant participant in gene looping. TFIIB was discovered occupying the distal ends of the gene only once it had been in looped settings (1, 11). TFIIB in addition has been proven to connect to Ssu72 and 2-Methoxyestradiol supplier Rna15 subunits of CPF and CF1 3 end handling complexes in budding fungus (1, 11). An identical relationship of TFIIB with cleavage and polyadenylation particular aspect (CPSF) and cleavage stimulatory aspect (CstF) cleavage and polyadenylation complexes has been reported in mammalian cells (13). The entire conclusion of the results is certainly that gene looping is certainly primarily facilitated with the relationship of promoter-bound TFIIB with 3 end digesting/termination factors working on the terminator area of the gene (1, 5, 10, 11). In that scenario, Ssu72 and Rna15 may possibly not be the just termination elements that connect to TFIIB to facilitate loop development. Other subunits of CF1 and CPF complexes may also contribute to the protein-protein interactions that bring the promoter and the terminator together during gene looping. A thorough understanding of gene loop formation requires characterization of the macromolecular complex that serves as a bridge between the promoter and 2-Methoxyestradiol supplier the terminator regions of a gene in looped configuration. Here we demonstrate the presence of a complex of TFIIB, CF1 subunits, and poly(A) polymerase (Pap1) in yeast cells. The holo-TFIIB complex was observed exclusively in the looping-competent strains. In addition to Rna15, two more subunits of the complex, Rna14 and Pcf11, are required for gene looping. Pap1, which adds a poly(A) tail at the 3 end of precursor Rabbit Polyclonal to Ku80 mRNA, also actually interacts with TFIIB and is an essential looping factor. In the looping-defective strain, where a holo-TFIIB complex is not created, activated transcription exhibits a kinetic lag. These results emphasize the crucial role of TFIIB interactions with the CF1 complex and 2-Methoxyestradiol supplier Pap1 in gene looping and transcription in budding yeast. EXPERIMENTAL PROCEDURES Yeast Strains The yeast strains used in this study are outlined in supplemental Table S1. Strains AA1, AA2, NAH12, and NAH13, which contain a tandem affinity purification-tagged TFIIB, were constructed by transforming the temperature-sensitive mutants (marker). The tandem affinity purification tags were inserted at the C terminus of TFIIB. The HA-tagged TFIIB strain (SAM56) and the HA-tagged TBP (SAM68) strain were constructed by transforming BY4733 (wild type (WT)) with DNA that was PCR-amplified from pFA6-3HA-His3MX6 (marker). Strains 2-Methoxyestradiol supplier SRR7 and SRR8, which contain C-terminal tandem affinity purification-tagged Rna14 and Pcf11, respectively, were constructed with DNA that was PCR-amplified from plasmid pBS1539..

Plants owned by the genus spp. highest antioxidant was within the juice from the prickly pear red-purple range (PPRP), in every concentrations. Its anticlastogenic potential was evaluated using a micronucleus assay therefore. The test was stepped on Rabbit Polyclonal to C-RAF (phospho-Ser301) two weeks. A poor control was included plus a positive control with MMS (40 mg/kg), several mice treated with PPRP (25 mL/kg), and three groupings with PPRP (in dosages of 25, 16.5 and 8.3 mL/kg) in addition to the mutagen. The PPRP was implemented daily by dental gavage as well as the MMS LY2140023 supplier was injected intraperitoneally five times before the end from the test. Blood samples had been attained at 0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h to be able to determine the regularity of micronucleated polychromatic erythrocytes (MNPE). The full total outcomes indicated that PPRP isn’t a genotoxic agent, on the other hand, it might decrease the true variety of MNPE. In this respect, the PPRP showed an anticlastogenic effect proportional to its concentrations directly. Thus, the best protection was attained with a focus of 25 mL/kg after 48 h of treatment. sppare one of the LY2140023 supplier most abundant from the Cactaceae family members, grown through the entire Americas aswell as the central section of the Mediterranean, European countries, Asia, Africa, and Australia. types screen flattened stems called cladodes or pencas [1]. The cactus pear fruits known as prickly pear fruits can be an oval elongated berry also, with a dense pericarp, a juicy pulp with a sigificant number of seed products and a semi-hard rind with thorns. The pericarp as well as the edible pulp may have different shades such as for example green, greenish white, canary yellowish, lemon yellow, crimson, cherry-red, or crimson hues [2]. The common fat of prickly pears fruits varies from 100 to 160 g with regards to the origins site and cultivation. The useful area of the fruits comprises peel off (48%C52%) and pulp (48%C52%). The pulp could be additional subdivided into seed products and strained pulp (44%C45%), the latter being the foundation for juice and fruit products. The fruits with white pulp and green rind are chosen for intake as meals, and their local creation corresponds to nearly 95% of the full total creation [2]. Mexico may be the primary manufacturer of (L.) Mill types, and makes up about a lot more than 45% from the worldwide creation; however, only one 1.5% of the production is exported [3]. Prickly pear fruits is definitely known in traditional medication for dealing with a genuine variety of pathologies such as for example ulcer, dyspnea, and glaucoma, aswell as liver circumstances, fatigue and wounds [4,5]. Different research using Western european and Asian types of cactus pears show notable antioxidant actions that reduce considerably the oxidative tension in patients and could prevent persistent pathologies. Within this feeling, some arrangements of fleshy stems (cladodes) have already been tested for the treating diabetes symptomatology in human beings and animal versions [5,6,7]. Some writers also have reported that the new stems and nopal certainly are a great source of fibers that LY2140023 supplier also really helps to reduce the bloodstream glucose and plasma cholesterol amounts [8,9]. The cactus pear fruit may be considered an operating food; this feature continues to be related to its bioactive substances such as for example supplement supplement and C E, polyphenols, carotenoids, flavonoid substances (e.g., kaempferol, quercetin, and isorhamnetin), pigments and taurine [10,11,12]. Betalains are water-soluble pigments. Two betalain derivatives can be found in cactus-pears: betacyanin, in charge of their red-purple color, and betaxanthin, because of their yellow-orange color. These pigments show beneficial effects over the redox-regulated pathways involved with cell development and inflammation and also have not really shown toxic results in human beings [13,14]. However the cactus pear fruits has shown many beneficial effects, a couple of few reviews in the books that demonstrate its genotoxic and/or antigenotoxic potential. Siriwardhana showed through the comet assay a cactus pear remove within a 0.1 mg/mL focus might decrease the H2O2-induced DNA harm in individual peripheral lymphocytes [15]. Another study demonstrated the power of cactus cladodes to safeguard Balb/c mice against the genotoxicity of zearalenone (ZEN) with a competent avoidance of micronuclei, chromosomal aberrations regularity in bone tissue marrow DNA and cells fragmentation, compared to the combined group treated with ZEN alone [16]. The goal of the present research is to judge the antioxidant capability of three types of prickly pear juice (red-purple, white-green and yellow-orange) in four different concentrations by DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical) colorimetric technique, and to choose the greatest range to determine its anticlastogenic potential against methyl methanesulfonate (MMS). 2.

Free Radical Scavenging Activities of TSAV 2.4.1. DPPH Radical Scavenging AssayThe free radical scavenging activity was measured in terms of hydrogen donating or radical-scavenging ability using the stable DPPH radical. Different concentrations of BIX 02189 small molecule kinase inhibitor test sample and ascorbic acid were prepared in 80% aqueous ethanol and 2?mL of the sample solution was mixed with 2?mL of 0.1?mg/mL ethanolic DPPH solution. The reaction mixture was shaken vigorously and incubated at 37C for 30?min. Absorbance was measured at 517?nm using UV-Vis spectrophotometer. The percentage inhibition of the DPPH radical by the samples was calculated using the following equation: inhibition rate (%) = [apoptosis detection kit (Roche, Shanghai, Rabbit Polyclonal to RAB6C China). Paraffin-embedded liver tissues were processed for TUNEL labeling. The images were obtained using fluorescence microscopy (Olympus, Tokyo, Japan). 2.13. BIX 02189 small molecule kinase inhibitor DNA Ladder DNA samples were extracted using DNA ladder extraction kit with spin column then were electrophoretically separated in 1% agarose gel and stained with ethidium bromide. The agarose gel was visualized and photographed under ultraviolet light by BioSpectrum Gel Imaging System. 2.14. Statistical Analysis All data were expressed as mean standard deviation (SD) and significant difference between the groups was statistically analyzed by one-way ANOVA. A notable difference was regarded as significant at 0.05. 3. Outcomes 3.1. Antioxidant Activity of TSAV = 3. 3.2. Histopathology Histopathological profile from the control mice demonstrated regular hepatocytes with well cytoplasm, prominent nucleus, central and nucleolus vein. There is no indication of swelling or necrosis in these mice (Shape 2(a)). In mice treated with CCl4 just, liver organ sections demonstrated hepatocyte nuclear pyknosis, hepatic wire degeneration, inflammatory infiltration, and designated necrosis (Shape 2(b)). Pretreatment with TSAV at 50 and 100?mg/kg dosage showed reduced amount of necrosed region and inflammatory infiltrates (Numbers 2(c) and 2(d)). Silymarin and TSAV in 200?mg/kg dosage showed sparse inflammatory cell infiltration and higher reduced amount of nuclear pyknosis of hepatic cells (Numbers 2(e) and 2(f)) in comparison with 50 and 100?mg/kg dosage. These results indicated that TSAV could ameliorate the severe nature of liver organ protect and harm liver organ from CCl4-induced injury effectively.

The difference from the steady-state pHi beliefs in MCT1 and H2O-injected similarly, and in MCT1 and NBC + NBC expressing oocytes alternatively, was significant ( 0.05, 0.01; Desk 1). It had been the expression from the NBC, with and without MCT1, that produced the difference for the relaxing pHi, the bigger pHi beliefs indicating a more substantial HCO3? focus, because of inwardly directed NBC on the keeping potential of presumably ?40 mV (see below).

Millipede Recording Scheme
Scheme Organiser: Paul Lee
The millipede recording scheme was established in 1970 to collate biological records of all species of Diplopoda found in Britain & Ireland. From its inception the recording scheme collected habitat information alongside the species records such that a large database of ecological data now exists on the group. An analysis of the ecological data collected to that point was undertaken in the publication of the Atlas of the Millipedes (Diplopoda) of Britain and Ireland (Lee, 2006).
The scheme organiser welcomes all records of millipedes. All records, even those for common species or those that don’t add new ‘dots’ to the maps, are valuable. Records accompanied by ecological information are especially welcome as this can only lead to better understanding of the conservation needs of our species. Records may be submitted on recording cards or in electronic spreadsheets, those accompanied by ecological information are especially welcome. Records may also be submitted via iRecord (BRC's website for collating species records), but please include an image of the specimen to enable verification.
New contributors to the scheme are most welcome and support and guidance with collection, preservation of specimens and identification will be offered where required. Scheme organisers are usually happy to check the identity of individual specimens but please do not send large collections of material without prior agreement. (Please ensure that specimens are sent in appropriate containers that will not be damaged or broken in the post.)
The scheme organisers will only normally deal with British material, but may be able to help with some specimens collected in other countries. Please do not send these without checking first.

11 states stand to gain from ‘Buddhist Tourism’ thrust
by ASHOK B SHARMA, Financial Express, January 29, 2007
NEW DELHI, India -- As India gears up to market Lord Buddha to attract global tourists, about 11 states stand to reap major benefits if they make sincere efforts to upgrade the identified circuits.
The Union ministry for tourism and culture has chalked out an action plan to promote “Buddhist tourism” around places having direct association with Lord Buddha’s life and mission. These are Kapilavastu, Sarnath, Kaushambi, Shravasti, Sankisa and Kushinagar in Uttar Pradesh and Bodhgaya, Nalanda, Rajgir and Vaishali in Bihar. Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Ltd (IRCTC) is slated to launch a luxury coach—Mahaparinirvan Special Express—in March 2007 from Delhi, which would facilitate tourists to visit all these places. Year 2007 is the 2,550th year of the attainment of mahapariniravan or salvation by Lord Buddha.
The eight-day tour package of Mahaparinirvan Express includes train and road travel, hotel accommodation, meals and incidental expenses like site entry and guide charges. The package also provides flexible options. Apart from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, the other states that house icons of Buddhism are Orissa, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Madhya Pradesh. States like Himachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir (Ladakh and Leh) have schools of learning and practices of Buddhism, particularly those relating to the Vajrayana/Lamaism sect and also spots for nature and adventure tourism. Thus, in all, 11 states have sites that are of specific interests to “Buddhist Tourism”.
A study by ICRA Management Consulting Services Ltd (iMaCS) on behalf of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (Ficci) has estimated that if “Buddhist Tourism” is sincerely promoted, it can attract about million tourists by 2012, a rise by 400% over the flow of 200,000 Buddhist tourists in 2004. The increased tourist flow would result in spillover effects, providing employment opportunities and increased local income. The government also plans to launch a website in Chinese and train guides in Chinese to attract tourists from China.
Union minister for tourism and culture, Ambika Soni, has urged all stakeholders, including the state governments concerned, corporate sector and travel and tour operators to make sincere efforts to upgrade infrastructure and restore Buddhists sites. She urged state governments to seek overseas aid, if necessary. Soni lauded the Bihar government for making sincere efforts in this direction. “We have made special efforts jointly with the Bihar government to improve the road from Gaya to Bodhgaya, removed illegal occupants of the land around the Mahabodhi temple by creating two new commercial hubs. We have also planned to restore Sarnath to to its full glory”, she told FE.
Andhra Pradesh tourism minister, J Geeta Reddy, said her state was once the seat of Mahayana Buddhism and had four relevant tourist circuits like Hyderabad-Kondapur-Phanigiri-Anapu-Gajulabanda-Nagarjunakonda-Dulikatta, Guntur-Chandavaram-Amravati-Vaddamanu-Bhattiprolu, Vijayawada-Ghantasala-Nelakondapalle-Jaggayyapeta-Guntupalle and Visakhapatnam-Sankaram-Thotlakonda-Bavikonda-Pavurallakond-Salihundam-Dantapuram. She said was impressed with the Kalachakra ceremony held in the state in January 2006 for which her government spent Rs 55 crore.
In Orissa, the important Buddhist sites are Udaigiri, Ratnagiri, Lalitgiri and Dhauli. In Maharashtra, major Buddhist sites are Ajanta, Ellora, Kanheri, Karla, Bhaja and Bedsa and Sanchi and Sirpur areas in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh.
The Japan Bank for International Cooperation has so far assisted four projects in Uttar Pradesh, Bihar and Maharashtra amounting to Rs 1,200crore. It has plans for assisting development of other Buddhist circuits in India and the Heritage Corridor between Delhi and Mumbai.

Main : Stories : Buster
Buster is an almost 9 year old Cardigan Welsh Corgi. I got him when he was almost two. He was born in March 1997 and was neutered April 1999. He was born with a retained testicle which, at the time of neutering, the vet described as being "way up there but we got it." I got him from a breeder who does all the usual health screenings and had not heard of cystinuria but has since read all the stuff I've sent her.
The first problem I noticed was in February 2002 when he was diagnosed with an enlarged prostate. He had passed some brown (not red) urine a few times . At that time the urinalysis showed a few blood cells but nothing remarkable according to that vet. The condition seemed to respond to the homeopathic remedy the vet prescribed and Buster seemed to be peeing normally.
Around 2003 Buster stopped jumping on the bed and developed some intermittent limping. I consulted several vets. One tried to give me Rimadyl, another tried chiropractic adjustments that seemed to help. Eventually I took him to an alternative vet for seasonal allergies. That vet did a SNAP test and Buster was diagnosed as having Lymes disease in mid-2004. He was treated with four weeks of antibiotics for this condition.
Around the same time (June of 2004) he started peeing blood. Initially, it wasn't all the time and it seemed to occur near the end of our walks after he had done a lot of marking. This time I went to a regular vet. In July 2004, that vet did an x-ray and ultrasound which showed that Buster still had an enlarged prostate and possible bladder stones. He also ran a testosterone level which came back 2.58. The vet suggested the high testosterone level was consistent with a retained testicle among other possible explanations. He thought that the testosterone was causing the enlarged prostate that was preventing Buster from urinating completely which was causing bladder stones which were causing the blood in the urine. He referred me to a specialist to do exploratory surgery and remove the stones. By now blood was appearing in Buster's urine on a regular basis and he seemed to pulse when urinating.
On August 10, 2004 the surgeon found a piece of the vas deferens that had been left behind (apparently hidden by a clamp during the original neutering surgery). His opinion was that this was generating the testosterone that caused the prostate enlargement and bladder problems.
He removed the stones and treated Buster for the bladder infection. At that point Buster's urine ph was 7.3. The stones were analyzed and came back 100 percent cystine. The intern at the specialty hospital who saw Buster for the surgical follow up merely said that they were "unusual" stones and told me nothing about what caused them. Neither did the surgeon who assured me my dog would be fine after surgery.
Buster had complications from the surgery, the stitches came lose and he developed several seromas. I had to go to another vet because the resident who had been assigned to follow up on Buster's case said there was nothing to be done about them and the original surgeon was on vacation. Buster finally healed from the surgery. My costs were well in excess of $4,000
Since then I have not been able to find any vet, conventional or alternative (and I've gone to five of them) who is interested in treating this condition. I have copied articles from the list and given them to a vet who said he was interested in working with me on this but this year when I took Buster to him for his physical that vet just did a normal urinalysis and said "oh good there are no stones."
I even wrote to Dr. Carl Osborne who initially said he would help but than never responded to any of my specific questions. The last time I wrote to him he just sent back a suggested article with no indication of where I could find it. When I wrote back asking where I might find this article, he didn't respond.
Buster is a BARF fed dog and I have been adding additional water to his diet to encourage him to pee a lot. I work at home so letting him out is not a problem although he is not usually interested in going out more than two or three times a day. I've added an additional walk at night to shorten the time urine is sitting in his bladder.
His last urinalysis didn't show any crystals or bacteria. I know that cystine doesn't show in a regular one but that was what my current vet ran anyway. The PH was 6.
The best info I've found is on the cystinuria list. I'm jealous of folks who have vets who suggest thiola or cuprine or offer to do repeated urine tests. None of my vets have suggested doing any of this.
Recently I met someone else who had had a cardi with this condition who lived to 12 and died of liver complications. The owner wondered if the treatment for cystinuria caused the liver damage.
I'm doing what I can. I've increased Buster's water consumption and walks, watch him like a hawk everyday to make sure he is peeing and not passing blood and hope to someday find a vet in my area who is interested enough to help.

Town Plaza Shopping Center
I usually don’t run photos that aren’t mine, but I saw this ad in my 1962 Girardot and figured the list of businesses would trigger some memories. The shopping center turned 50 in 2010, if you want to feel old.
Western expansion was a reason for the success of the Town Plaza, but I suspect the biggest draw (other than being the New Thing) was ample free parking. Outside of that, it was a row of businesses, just like Main Street.
The Mall killed the Town Plaza
The Westpark Mall offered what the Town Plaza didn’t: an inclosed shopping area where you could go from store to store in climate-controlled comfort. It was a destination where you could eat, sit and people-watch as well as shopping, all without sweating or freezing.

Mark Stuart says:
I worked at the Woolworth store in the Town Plaza as soon as I graduated from college in 1972.
JTL says:
In the days before national chains, the major ready-to-wear manufacturers built their brands through long relationships with local retailers. In most small to medium markets this resulted in an arrangement whereby the merchant paid for advertising the brand using materials provided by the seller. In return, the store held the exclusive marketing rights for the brand within the service area. As long as this relationship maintained, the retailers had little about which to worry – assuming the brands maintained their reputation.
It has been stated here and elsewhere that the Town Plaza “killed” Downtown, but a store-by-store comparison shows that there was little competition between the two shopping areas. As I recall the Plaza’s main draw was The Hobby Horse (with Bullock’s as a close second). The same analysis is true of the Mall and the Plaza. Why else would the Plaza shopping area still exist?
The Mall did not do-in the Plaza as much as Downtown. This because the Mall stores, notably Famous Barr, offered the same brands, better merchandised, in greater quantity, along with the amenities listed.
David Dalton says:
I would have to agree. I remember going to Sikeston or South County to shop before the mall. As a teenager, I wanted the mall; “Cape needs one of those” was my thinking. Then when the mall was promised – the first deal went bad with that developer from Charleston, IIRC. Cape had to wait a bit longer. Recession and/or high interest rates may have slowed the mall progress. Finally when a bona fide promise of a mall materialized it was controversial. I kept hearing “Cape can’t support a mall”. Ultimately we got a small city version of a mall, and people chose to drive out to the mall for their clothing needs instead of Buckners or Hechts. Last time I was in town a few years ago, I was disappointed in the number of vacancies and lack of upkeep to some of the buildings down there. Perhaps this would have happened with or without a mall. Without a major interstate nearby, nobody thinks of going down there. Hopefully there can be a major draw down there in the next decade or so, and help revive some life into the remaining stores.
Madeline DeJournett says:
I remember when Robert Kennedy appeared at the mall, during his Presidential campaign. The parking lot was absolutely full. Kennedy stood on an open platform and spoke to us through a microphone–or perhaps a bullhorn. It would have been sometime in 1968, and, of course, he was killed not long after.
Back then, there were so many opportunities to assassinate our leaders!
Molly Strickland says:
We were there, too, when Kennedy gave his speech. Doesn’t seem that long ago. But far too many tragedies have happened since then, over and over again.
Fred Lynch says:
I am offering readers here early access to my Jan. 20 blog about Town Plaza. See aerial photos of the site, a before shot by Don Kremer and an opening day picture by Frony.

I must have attended SEMO at precisely the right time. Downtown was bustling with three dime stores, Buckner-Ragsdale, and plenty of clothing and shoe stores. Broadway offered three movie houses, at least four pizza parlours (Dino’s, Shakey’s, Pagliai’s, Semo Pizza Palace), and such fascinating stores as March Hare and Import-Export Shop. Town Plaza was up and running, for those energetic enough to make the trek from campus. West Park Mall was just being built, but since relatively few of us had cars on campus, we barely took notice of it.
Walter Lamkin says:
The best part about the Town Plaza was the Putt Putt mini-golf course nearby.
Tim Luckett says:
When I started school at SEMO back in 1967 we used to go to Town Plaza to the laundrymat there. I also remember Thad Bullock had a cafeteria and a piano store there. In April of 1968, my college roommate, Jack Martin and I met Bobby Kennedy during his presidential campaign run in the Town Plaza parking lot. Those were the days.
Mark Wissmann says:
My mother worked at Mr C,s kitchen in 69-72. I would go to the plaza after school and mess around until she got off. I went to hobby horse, Woolworths,& gambles. Those were some simple days. We lived a 1/2 mile from the plaza but when bobby Kennedy was there I was about 10-12 years old and walked to see him. I managed to squirrel myway through the crowd to get right in front off him. Seemed like a big deal to me then
Between my junior and senior years at CHS, I worked at Gamble Hardware before they opened and also through the grand opening. I had to quit when school started in September, 1960. That was my first job. After my one year at SEMO, I also worked at Sears before they opened and for their grand opening. When they opened the doors of Sears after the ribbon cutting and all those people came rushing inside, I decided I didn’t belong in retail!
Linda Hathaway Morris says:
This was my Dads property, where Cape Veterinary Hospital was. I have many fond memories of living here, we had ponies, cows, horses, chickens, goats, lambs, skunks, dogs and cats. Several friends came to our house to ride the ponies. Martha and Bob are in the picture with the pony, Dad donated(Elvis the pony) to ribbon cutting to be given away as a prize. I don’t know who won him.
Frank Sitze says:
I worked with a man at Big Star supermarket. His wife worked for W.T. Grants. She told of having to take car of a pet monkey they had there for sale.
Karen Ridings says:
I notice that Kroger was in the plaza in this 1962 picture. Can anyone tell me if they remember Kroker being on Broadway at one time?
Re: Linda Hathaway Morris’ post, I’m sure I’m not alone in remembering Dr. Hathaway. Our family of eight had numerous pets, most of them strays and few I cared for, but I was outnumbered by siblings, parents and animals. In any event, I recall numerous trips to Dr. Hathaway’s ‘office’ with some sick or injured pet, usually our black and white cocker spaniel Tinker who was a paramour to nearly every male dog within a wide swath of land judging from her numerous litters of mutts. I remember Dr. Hathaway with fondness nevertheless and I think I went there more often than not as my dad liked to be around animals in general–better behaved than were his progeny. Dr. Hathaway is/was? a really nice guy, a fine veterinarian and an asset to the small community that was Cape.
Thanks Walter, he passed away in May 1988, he loved what he did and loved animals. What was so bad was that Mother was afraid of cats and we always had cats. We also had a goat, somehow it got in the house and Mom found him on the kitchen table, that about did her in. We have alot of good memories of the place and our pets and all our friends that would come by.
Nora Reynolds Zimmer says:
I remember the ponies in the land that became the Town Plaza. My mom would go to the bread store across William street and I liked to sit in the car and watch the ponies. I didn’t like it when they built the Plaza. I was also there when Bobbie and Ethel Kennday came to the Plaza. I remember being struck by how tan they were. The crowd surged toward them as they walked through the crowd to leave. It was very uncontrolled, and I understood how people could get trampled in a crowd!
Connie Marchetto says:
I worked at WatsonVs Shoes – with 3 of Mr Watsons’ sons in ’66 – ’68. Fun job.
Tanya L (Davis) Andrews says:
I don’t want to be a Debby Downer but my Dad died @ the Town Plaza on June 18, 1964 and I observed the whole thing.i was 11. He had a heart attack turning left going towards Grants right in front of Delaynes (sp). He was only 43.
I have good memories of the Plaza but that will always unfortunately be the main memory.
I am also trying to get in touch with Don Greenwood. He is an artist. I saw an article about him & sent him a message from here but never heard back from him. Thanks for anyone’s help. God bless all of us YKYAFC’s. We are truly a strange breed of our own. TTFN
Gail Hennecke says:
To Karen Ridings – Krogers was located at 724 Broadway Street in the 1950s and 1960s at the present location of the Dollar General Store. I lived around the corner on Ellis Street between Broadway and Themis Streets from 1950.
Alice Whittaker says:
I worked for the dry cleaner/ laundrymat,and was working there when Marlyn Holzclaw was murdered, she and I always worked together. That was a sad day.
Across from the Town Plaza, we would sometimes go to A&P (my dad referred to it as “Apples & Peaches”), or to the Flaming Pit Restaurant.

Posted by: Car News in Frankfurt Motor Show 2011, New Cars, Sports Cars June 9, 2011 0
Opel presents the new Astra GTC, the coupe version of its current generation of the compact. The new Opel Astra GTC will be available on auto market starting this fall.
2012 Opel Astra GTC
After we first became acquainted at the end of April with the three-door version of the new generation Astra, named – as expected – GTC, Opel finally presented a complete photo gallery with the model which we will admire in world premiere at the Frankfurt Motor Show in autumn this year.
Opel Astra GTC photo gallery
Opel Astra GTC Design
Just as we have already seen in April, the new Opel Astra GTC is distinguished aesthetically more than it did before from the five-door version. In addition, Opel designers have changed so much in the new model compared to the old, that none of the body panels – except the side mirrors – are not identical to those on the five-door Astra. The headlights change, the front is slightly elongated and we see a modified interior design.
Modifications to from the existing version doesn’t stops there. 2012 Opel Astra GTC wheelbase has increased by one centimeter (0.4 in) and gauge widened by 30 millimeters (1.2 in) in front and by 40 mm (1.6 in) in rear, this elements ensuring a more dynamic driving experience for the coupe.
In section technology, the new Opel Astra GTC receives both the second generation of the Opel Eye system (which in addition to what was doing until now is able to measure the distance to the vehicle in front and adjust day lights and night lights depending on this) and other systems that we have already seen on the new generation of Opel Zafira.
Until the release of OPC super sport version, which is expected to be next year, the 2012 Opel Astra GTC will be present on the market with three petrol engines and one diesel. We talk about the 2.0 CDTI unit with 165 hp and 380 Nm (129 g CO2/km), the 1.4 Turbo with 120 and 140 hp, and 1.6 Turbo 140 with 180 hp, the latter being the most potent engine existing from launch.

Wall Street Welcomes The Other White Meat® Tour
Pork blazed a tantalizing trail through New York City this summer when nearly 3,000 employees, traders and staff of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) enjoyed an incredible lunch of pulled pork on a homemade bun, coleslaw and homemade potato chips, courtesy of The Other White Meat® Tour ’09.
“We were invited by the NYSE, and the event was a complete success,” says Howard Greenblatt, national foodservice marketing manager for the Pork Checkoff, who notes that the pork promotion was endorsed by Smithfield Meats. “People swarmed the streets and the lines were long, even though we handed out the pork sandwiches as fast as we could.”
As The Other White Meat Tour crew served the meal, Dr. BBQ, Ray Lampe, conducted live cooking demonstrations on-stage, showing the audience how to prepare spice rubs for different cuts of pork. The entire event was broadcast live on the 12-foot by 12-foot Jumbotron on Wall Street.
“This was a lot of fun, and it offered a great opportunity to educate lots of people about pork and let them know that pork tenderloin is as lean as a skinless chicken breast,” says Lampe, a well-known cookbook author who teaches barbeque cooking classes across the country and writes the “Ask Dr. BBQ” column for Fiery Foods and BBQ Magazine. “It’s always a pleasure to work with the Pork Checkoff, because they put on first-class events.”
The barbeque bash attracted plenty of national media attention, adds Greenblatt, who notes that Nation’s Restaurant News, Food Arts and other leading publications covered the event. “Ray Lampe was a big hit, the rain held off and the NYSE’s director of marketing told me they haven’t had a response like this in five years. The event was everything we wanted it to be, and it offered a wonderful way to promote pork.”
The pork party continues at the Big Apple BBQ
Following the Wall Street lunch, The Other White Meat Tour remained in New York City for the Big Apple BBQ in mid-June.
“The Big Apple BBQ is such a pork-centered event, and it was awesome to hand out the most pork samples of any place we’ve been,” says Traci Rodemeyer, manager of pork information for the Pork Checkoff.
Momentum continues to build for the 2009 tour, which kicked off in Scottsdale, Ariz., in May and is allowing America’s pork producers give back to local communities. When consumers in 12 select cities enter the Pork's No. 1 Fan contest, 10 pounds of pork will be given to feed those in need through local food bank. At the recent City Stages World Classic in Birmingham, Ala., the Pork Checkoff donated 380 pounds of pork. The event was covered by all the major networks, including NBC, CBS, ABC and FOX.
To add to the fun, Pork Checkoff is inviting consumers nationwide to share why they are the “Next Pork Personality.” Through August 31, passionate pork fans everywhere can submit a video on TheOtherWhiteMeat.com to spotlight their best tip for grilling pork.
The three finalists whose creativity and enthusiasm for pork comes through loud and clear will be selected for a live finale grill-off in New York City. Each will prepare a pork recipe that showcases their tip for Guy Fieri and a panel of judges. The winner of the “Next Pork Personality” will receive $5,000, a Char-Broil® grill and grilling accessories.
To join the tour online, log onto www.TheOtherWhiteMeat.com and click on the “Follow Us on the Road” link to find grilling recipes from tour spokesperson and celebrity chef Guy Fieri, the tour schedule, photos and videos from recent events, information on the “Next Pork Personality” contest, and more.

Young Farmer Talks Turkey in Cherokee County
By Darcy Maulsby
If a wise man creates more opportunities than he finds, then Rod Parker’s willingness to invest in five turkey barns is creating new options in agriculture not only for this young Cherokee County farmer, but for his younger brothers, as well.
“Not everyone is the given the chance to farm, so I feel very fortunate,” said Parker, 27, who noted that four generations of his family have farmed the land in Iowa. “However, the fastest way to take down the business is to draw too many incomes off of one farm, so I was looking for ways to diversify our operation.”
Turkeys seemed like a possibility, based on Parker’s conversations with friends and neighbors who raise the birds for Sara Lee Foods, which recently expanded its processing facilities in Storm Lake. Construction on Parker’s five 650-foot-long barns, which hold up to 12,000 birds each, began in the summer of 2008. During an October 2008 open house at Parker’s Pilot Township farm, which was hosted just days before the first group of four-week-old tom turkeys arrived, many friends, neighbors and local officials gathered to tour the new barns and congratulate Parker.
“Livestock is an essential part of Iowa’s economy,” said Mark Buschkamp, executive director for Cherokee Area Economic Development. “In Cherokee County, agriculture is economic development. I know a turkey operation is big investment and a long-term commitment, so it’s great to see this.”
Building a future in farming
Farming has long been a way of life for the Parker family, who has lived south of Cherokee since 1948. Rod’s parents, Robert and Peggy, raised their three sons and one daughter on the farm where they still live and work, just half a mile east of the new turkey barns. The Parkers’ farm includes a farrow-to-finish swine operation with 60 sows, along with 400 acres of corn, soybeans, alfalfa and oats. Rod joined the family business full-time after completing his farm management degree at Iowa Lakes Community College in May of 2002.
“I always knew I wanted to farm since I was a little kid,” said Parker, who now farms 160 acres of his own land.
The idea to diversify into the turkey business took root two years ago, when Parker started researching the possibilities. Parker considered not only his own future, but ways to help his brothers get involved in agriculture, including Curtis, who will graduate in December 2008 from Northwest Missouri State University with an agronomy degree, and Ryan, a student at Northwest Iowa Community College. Parker also made personal visits to his neighbors to keep them informed about his plans.
“It’s tough for young farmers to get started,” acknowledged Robert Parker. “The turkeys offer a way for Rod to stay on the farm and can help the other boys get involved in the farm at some point.”
Parker followed the proper protocols to establish his turkey operation, from applying for the required construction/design permits to acquiring a stormwater discharge permit from the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. Parker’s barns also feature the latest technologies to ensure the comfort of the birds, from the feeding and watering systems to misters and fans that help cool the birds in during hot weather.
The floors are covered with a bedding of wood shavings and oat hulls, which provide a soft, dry environment for the birds. A skimmer removes the solids from the bedding, and in Parker’s all-in, all-out production system, the litter will be cleaned out after the birds are taken to market. Parker plans to use as much of the litter on his family’s cropland as possible to save on fertilizer costs.
“I’m glad we hosted an open house at the barns,” added Parker, who is a Golden Harvest seed dealer and a board member of the Cherokee County Pork Producers. “This gave the community a first-hand look at the technology we use today to provide humane care for the birds year-round and produce the food that will end up in the meat case. It also helped us educate the public about the ways farmers protect the environment.”
Neighbor Mickey Conley, who lives a mile north of the Parkers, said she admires what Rod Parker is doing. “We’re all really tickled about his new turkey operation. This is economic development for Cherokee County, and we need it.”
Quick Facts about Iowa’s Turkey Industry*
Iowa ranks 9th in U.S. turkey production and 5th in turkey processing.
Annually Iowa’s turkeys consume 10 million bushels of corn and 110,000 tons of soybean meal.
Based on the cost for commercial fertilizer, one turkey produces more than $1 worth of Iowa-grown fertilizer.
The economic value of Iowa turkey production is more than $200 million.

Costantino Peroni goes from pole to win in India
2 December 2015 /in News /by Press
Costantino Peroni ended his 2015 season with a sensational result in the final round of the JK Tyre Racing Championship. It was a short adventure for him, as the Milan-based racer only began his season last August, coming back to motorsport in a winning fashion after stopping to pursuit his studies.
Driving a Mygale FB02 sponsored by renowned Indian tire manufacturer JK Tyre, Peroni cruised to his first pole position of the year in the fourth and final round of the series. Lining-up at Buddh International Circuit, the same venue that hosted Formula 1 until 2013, and in front of more than 50.000 spectators, Peroni took a valuable second place in race 1 before cruising to his second victory in the series.
The foundations to his victory were laid at the start, thanks to the pole captured with his personal second fastest laptime. And it was a large victory: Costantino built an healthy margin straight away and quickly took-off to cross the line with 7 seconds on his closest follower. Together with series champion Vishnu Prasad, Peroni was the only driver to complete all the races totalling 2992 kilometers.
Costantino Peroni
“I’m really happy to have scored another really valuable result. Even though I had hoped for it at the start, I don’t think it would have been possible to win a championship that was completely new for me, from the cars to the tires and the tracks. By the way, the crowds here in India are incredible. From the podium today, I felt like we were in front of a full Formula 1 Grand Prix grandstand. I thank Eurointernational, who prepared the cars for JK Tyre, and the promoters, who really made me feel at home. I also want to thank the mechanics that followed me throughout the year, Maurizio and Giuseppe, and Antonio Ferrari, who helped me learn and pushed me when it mattered. A big thank you also goes to my coach driver David Fumanelli, who gave me a great hand, in addition to my sponsors, friends and family. I wouldn’t be here without them”.

>> The Little Engine That Could <<
Posted by The Costa Sisters on Oct 29, 2014 in Wanderlust Adventures
During our visit to California we met some pretty amazing people, one being Rachael, owner of two hugely amazing companies Lace & Likes // Siren Floral Co who we have followed since forever.
When Rachael emailed asking us to join her & her 90 year old gramp in South France to capture their adventure we we’re absolutley psyched. Turns out her Gramp, Dick Field is the coolest man we’ve ever met. >>
Within minutes of arriving at the frenchie villa we were greeted with sunshine, american accents, rose wine & some incredible history lessons.
Dick was only 19 Years old when he Volunteered to be a World War II Paratrooper. After working through intense training stages he proudly earned his wings & became Airborn. The Army assigned him to the 551st Parachute Infantry Battalion. >>
Dick dug out all his old photographs- showing us what an absolute hottie he was back in the day & re-lived his memories with us, some beautiful and some tragic. We asked a million and one questions and every one of his tales were unforgettable. >>
In August 1944 his unit participated in their first combat drop; Operation Dragoon. The allied invasion of Southern France. Dick recalls “that ‘the big picture’ (operation Dragoon itself) had not been explained to the paratroopers, they had only been educated on their particular roles as 1st Airborn Task Force (blocking German attempts to send reinforcements to halt the allied beach landings) Dick knew he was part of a bigger operation, but what that was, he did not know on August 15th” * >>
They made airborne history as they were the first American paratroopers to carry out a daylight combat jump in Europe. Dick told stories of his first jump like it was yesterday, when we questioned how he could recall memories from 70 years back he replied “well wouldn’t you!?“
The Germans had created defences against airborne forces, the enemy had planted the ground with thousand of sticks to impale paratroopers as the landed & stretched thick wires in-between trees to damage incoming gliders. Luckily the 551st landed in the vineyards owned by The Valbourges Estate — where Dick was one of the lucky few who landed himself squarely on the ground. >>
James Stevens -an Englishman & his French wife saw the paratroopers gliding from the airplanes from The Valbourges Estate & immediately went from tree to tree saving troopers that were injured and danggling. Dick told us how The Valbourges estate became a field hospital, the house was used to help the injured and wounded. >>
Operation Dragoon experienced great success on D-Day // By the end of the day they had liberated Le Muy & captured over 500 German soldiers. The following day 551st moved into the German occupied city of Draguignan, which they liberated by the 17th. >>
While we were there they were celebrating 70th Anniversary of the Liberation of France.
Our first adventure was a mini meet up with the 551st survivors at the cemetery. Dick went to pay respects at some friends graves, his overwhelming emotion had us in tears. He explained that he still dreams about the things he saw. There was a private ceremony for close friends & family, where Dick was presented with a gigantic American Flag. >>
The following day, there was a huge ceremony at the cemetery, where hundreds of French actors army suited n booted ready for their marching performance.. We cannot describe how amazing the atmosphere was, we had no idea how spectacular this event was going to be. There were Jeeps, tanks & motorcycles everywhere – All authentic and remastered. Swing music playing everywhere, Women dressed as veteran wives, rocking the 40’s look. It felt like we were on a WWII movie set, we were in heaven. Everyone mounted into the jeeps & started the journey to the ‘Old Valbourges Estate’. On the way Dick pointed out the fields & vineyards where his troops landed, he even showed us a tree trunk where there was an original plane wing still wedged into it. It was amazing to put an image to all of Dicks tales. >>
When we arrived, we couldn’t believe the Estate was still standing, let alone as beautiful as it was. We attended another 551st ceremony when we arrived in the Estates Chapel, Which is dedicated to the troops. The celebrations continued in the estate garden, where we all had a feast American Army Style. Cannon’s we’re shot, dancing was had & my oh my we never wanted it to end. >>
We were overwhelmed by the amount of respect & admiration the French we’re showing the 551st survivors. Soldiers were collecting autographs, children made parachutes to be signed, there is even a street named after the troops in Draguignan city. Dick was beaming with pride & rightly so. He was their hero & he’d become ours too.
If the last couple of days hadn’t turned us into emotional wrecks, the following day made it official. It was Dick’s 90th Birthday & his family had secretly planned a surprise birthday party back at the Villa. We witnessed an insane amount of love, people had travelled world wide to just to attend & he was showered with the most exquisite gifts.
This really was a adventure we’ll never forget.

Feature: Gucci Culturally Appropriates Minorities For Fashion – What’s New?
Helen Yeung and Jasmin Singh addresses yet another major fashion house disaster.
Every year, it becomes increasingly normalised that major fashion houses culturally appropriate from minority cultures. Whether it’s Native American headdresses, bindis, cheongsams or rainbow dreads, the blatant racism of the fashion industry is on display in their shows every season of every year. This year’s first scandal (as we’re sure there’s many more to come), involved Gucci’s Fall/Winter 2018 collection where it seems there was a contest to see how many cultures could be appropriated in one show. Turbans, hijabs and a Chinese architectural style headpiece were worn and displayed by white models.
Before someone complains and tells us that what these fashion houses have done is not cultural appropriation but “showing appreciation” for other cultures. It’s clear that there was no respect or care given to the way cultural items were STOLEN and presented as if they were new “avant-garde”, revolutionary style ideas. Describing these items as “scarves designed to be worned on the head” doesn’t hide the fact that they are clearly drawing on the religious and cultural clothing of minorities. The fact the white models are often the ones that display these items takes them out of the contexts and the cultures they are specific too.
Aside from the fact that Gucci could have used Sikh and Muslim models to showcase their collection. The impacts of their supposed appreciation go further. These white models can remove their turbans and hijabs after the show and go on to live their privileged lives. The same cannot be said for Sikh men and Muslim women who have to deal with daily microaggressions and stereotypes that associate them with terrorists or face the annoyances of ‘random checks’ at airports. To the other end of the spectrum where they have been and continue to be assaulted and killed for proudly wearing their turbans and hijabs. Being white and wealthy allows you to avoid the prejudices and consequences associated with being or wearing things that make you visibly other.
Likewise with the pagoda headpiece, to be honest who would actually wear an architectural structure on their head. The high fashion industry already has a well recorded history of appropriating East Asian aesthetics. From the cheongsam to kimonos, it’s no surprise that they’ve moved onto buildings now. Surprisingly the industry seems to have moved on from the submissive, oriental doll look reminiscent of the 90s era, think: Gwen Stefani and her harajuku girls. Although occasionally you’ll spot the look on K road, when a white girl struts down St. Kevins Arcade in her fishnet tights, statement sunglasses and a thrifted cheongsam. Fearnot however, although this racist, sexist stereotype seems to have quieted down, how could white people possibly give up the chance on profiting through ORIENTAL prints.
Don’t even get us started on the embroidered pastel green outfit, if you’ve ever attended a Chinese wedding we all know you ripped that off Chinese aunties with perms and red lipstick on their teeth. This traditional attire has been worn by Chinese women for hundreds and even thousands of years. But apparently adding impractical extra long sleeves, a clown collar and some lace underwear on the model’s head suddenly makes this “a look”.
Gucci also chose to include references to the third eye in their new collection, stating that they had worked for 6 months and ensuring this was part of their collection. But surprise surprise, they managed to mess this up too by placing the third eye on the hands of the models instead of their foreheads which is where the third eye is meant to be. At this point they might as well be placing eyes on every part of the body, “fourth eye”…”fifth eye”? What’s new white people? How can you work for 6 months on appropriating someone’s culture and still do it badly.
Concluding Gucci’s Fall/Winter 2018 collection: you suck, you don’t even deserve one star for originality. As for your kitschy pieces that don’t steal from minority cultures, we could whip up the same thing for under $20 on Taobao. White people you already colonised and stole from most of us, please stop “borrowing” from our cultures and come up with your own ideas. Here are some suggestions from us:
An outfit made entirely out of potato skins.
Wearing a Cathedral or Eiffel Tower on your head.
Holding a bottle of mayonnaise.
Pushing a barbeque grill or lawn mower.

Man Law: Never mess with your best friend’s sister.
“Ah, shit.” Vic Andrews, butt head supreme, listened to the churn of the ocean’s waves. Or was it his life skittering off its axis?
Gina laughed that belly laugh of hers and he couldn’t help smiling. He extracted himself from her lush little body and rolled off. The St. Barth sand stuck to his back. Yep, they’d worked up a sweat. Salty sea air invaded his nostrils and he inhaled, letting the moisture flood his system.
Jesus Hotel Christ.
What had he been thinking? He’d been heading back to his room after closing down the resort’s bar and there she was, the girl—er, woman—of his dreams, crying on the beach. No condition for her to be in after witnessing her brother’s marriage to the love of his life.
Vic didn’t mention the fact it was 3:00 a.m. and she was alone on a secluded beach where any drunken asshole, like him, could have at her. Although technically he wasn’t drunk. Buzzed maybe. Big difference. Besides, they’d been at a wedding. Buzzed was allowed.
Gina moved and he finally turned toward her. “I’m—”
“No, absolutely not,” she said. She swiped at her curly mane of dark hair. Her face gave away nothing, but that meant squat. Gina knew how to hide bad moods.
The whoosh of the ocean lapping against the shore distracted him and he stared into the blackness.
“What did I say?” he asked.
“You were going to apologize. I don’t want to hear it.”
Apologize? Him? “I’m not sorry.” He touched her arm. “Are you?”
Please don’t say you’re sorry. Please.
That would be all he needed. He’d just freakin’ obliterated the sister rule Mike had invoked nearly a million—maybe two million—times. The sister rule was Man Law, and Man Laws were about the only rules Vic followed.
He only wanted to check on her, and before he knew it, voila, the clothes were off, the condom was on and they were humping like bunnies right there on the beach. At least no one saw them. All the well-meaning people were asleep.
Gina brushed sand from her legs and stood to straighten the slip like dress he’d shoved up over her hips. The silky fabric glided over her curves, and the activity in Vic’s lower region made him groan. A thirty-five year-old mother of three, and she was killing him. He should be ashamed.
Screw that.
She was right there. Right there. And, because he’d probably never get the opportunity again, he should grab her and—
“I’m not sorry,” Gina said. “Not about the sex. I’m sorry about other things, but this, I loved.”
Vic retrieved his pants and stood. Gina and her honesty. Good or bad, she just put it out there and didn’t worry about the repercussions. He guessed it came from losing her husband at the age of thirty-one. She had nothing to lose.
“I need to go,” she said, watching him with her big brown eyes as the moonlight drenched her face. He put his shirt on. Did she have to look at him that way? Particularly when he wanted a replay.
“Aren’t the kids bunking with your folks?”
“They are, but you know how Matthew is. He might search for me.”
Fifteen-year-old Matt, her eldest son, took his job as man of the family seriously.
“Right. Okay.” Vic motioned toward the resort. “I’ll walk you.”
Gina held up a hand. “I’ll be fine.”
Nuh-uh. No way. “I am going to walk you. It’s late and you shouldn’t go by yourself.”
Hell, she shouldn’t have been out here alone in the first place, but he knew she’d tear him a few new ones if he said it.
She stood there, peering up at him and—God—she was fantastic. She had a classic oval face with high cheekbones and a nose he knew she hated. For over two years now he’d imagined running his finger over the little bump in it, but never dared. Every inch of her seemed perfectly imperfect.
Blown sister rule.
Gina shoved her fingers through her curls. “We screwed up. I can’t believe it. We’ve been so good.”
“We didn’t screw up. We had a simultaneous brain fart. Again.”
She laughed and shook her head.
“Anyway, walk me to the edge of the beach. You can see my room from there and can watch me go up.”
“Gina, what’s the big deal? Nobody will know we just—” he waved his hand, “—you know.”
“It’ll be better if you don’t walk me. With his mental radar, Michael is probably waiting by the door. On his damned wedding night. I swear he’s a freak. He should stay out of it.”
Oh, boy. She was getting fired up. Maintenance mode. His friend needed protection. They were both ex-special ops, but they didn’t stand a chance against all five foot three of Gina.
“Mike loves you. He’s trying to protect you.”
“From you? You’re his best friend.”
Vic ran his hands over her shoulders. “Yeah, but I’m not right for you.”
“The circumstances aren’t right. That’s true, but he doesn’t have to keep reminding me.”
“He does it to me too.”
They strolled to the edge of the beach, and he squeezed her hand. Don’t go. Just stay for a while. All he wanted was more time with her. Not a lot to ask.
On tiptoes, she brushed a kiss over his lips. A little hum escaped his throat. What the hell was that?
“I had a great time,” she said. “You were just what I needed.”
“I think a ‘but’ is coming.”
“We can’t do this again.”
Yep. Not good. “I know.”
She pulled her hand from his and hauled ass toward her room. Away from him.
He waited while she went up the stairs and she stopped in front of the window of the room next to hers. A minute later the door opened and Matt came out. He turned and, apparently using his Spidey sense, looked straight at Vic.
And we’re busted.
Man Law: Never get caught.
Six Weeks Later
“You got me,” Vic said when Lynx picked up the phone.
Whose number had he just called? Knowing Lynx, he probably talked some unsuspecting blonde into letting him use her phone. His old army buddy now worked for the State Department and was completely paranoid about their calls being traced. When Lynx wanted to speak with Vic regarding sensitive matters, he sent a fax—a fax for God’s sake—from the FedEx store down the street from his D.C. office. Vic would call him back from a secure line—in this case a prepaid cell phone.
“You’re in a jackpot.”
Vic sat straighter in his desk chair. “Translate.” Lynx had a flair for drama, and being in a jackpot could mean a whole lot of bullshit things.
“The job you did for us last month.”
A car horn honked from Lynx’s end. He must be outdoors. “The Israel thing?”
“Yeah. The brother is pissed at you.”
“There’s a shocker. The sheikh should be pissed at someone.”
Namely Vic, who’d been hired by a secret U.S. government agency to take out the sheikh’s little brother, an Osama wannabe. Mike, the CEO of Taylor Security, liked to call them off-the-books jobs.
“No,” Lynx said. “He’s pissed at you. Your cover is blown.”
Vic’s shoulders went rock hard. He’d need a sledgehammer to get them loose again.
“What the fuck, Lynx?”
“Hey, I’m just giving you rumor mill here, but it’s coming from a good source. My contact at the agency accidentally let me find out. The sheikh threw money at someone who threw money at someone, and now he’s got your name.”
He shot out of his chair, every muscle in his body seizing. “Son of a bitch. Who gave me up? There can’t be six people who knew about that op.”
“Please. With the kind of money this guy can toss around, anyone can be bought.”
Vic grabbed a pencil from the desk, snapped it in half. “Did I get set up?”
“No. Someone got greedy.”
“My ass is in the wind?”
“Yeah. Watch your six. Gotta go.”
Vic punched the button to end the call. He’d wipe the phone clean and destroy it later. No harm in being careful. He stared out his corner office window. Just a businessman enjoying the June sun while the Chicago lunch-hour crowd swarmed the lakefront path. People everywhere.
Deep breath. Work the problem. When he’d taken the Israel job, the agency told him it was a solo mission. He’d sneak into the country as a tourist using a fake passport, and if he got into trouble, no one would pull him out.
He didn’t get into trouble.
He’d completed his mission.
And now his cover was blown. Sure sounded like a setup.
The hammering in his ears started, and he stacked his hands on top of his head. This could be crap. Lynx said it was a rumor.
Vic hustled down the hall to Mike’s office and found him at his desk. Early in Vic’s army career, he and Mike were Rangers together and they had a history of saving each other’s asses.
“I got a problem,” Vic said as he stormed into the office and shut the door behind him. He took three deep breaths. Focus.
Mike snapped his head from his computer and stared. His dark eyes had an intensity that drove the ladies wild, but these days he was a one-woman man.
“You heard me right. I got a problem.”
Vic had maybe uttered those words three times in the fifteen years he’d known Mike. Each time, someone had been injured or dead. Mike leaned back in his swanky leather chair. Felix Unger’s contemporary twin could have decorated this place. Everything in chrome, with sharp angles and fancy art. One lone stack of paper sat neatly bundled to the left. Mike didn’t go for mess.
“Remember the job I did last month? Lynx just called. My cover is blown. The sheikh spent big bucks to find out who I was.”
Mike squinted. “Those fuckers gave you up?”
“One of them, yeah.”
“Do you know who?”
“Hell no. And it’s too damned bad, because I’d like to break his fucking knee caps.”
Pain shot through Vic’s jaw and he lightened up on the teeth grinding.
“Okay,” Mike said. “We can assume they’re gonna come after you.”
Vic stalked the office. Crap. Sweat beaded down the sides of his face and he swiped at it. He was losing it. Fear was not something he allowed himself, but this rattled him. When was the last time that happened? How about never? The last few months had been this way, though. Something gnawed at him, eating away his insides.
Five years with Delta Force ensured he could take care of this problem, but he didn’t want to do it in a city that had welcomed him when he left the military.
“We got a whole army of guys here ready to cowboy up,” Mike said. “We could even bring a few back from overseas.”
They had at least five hundred men in the Middle East protecting U.S. officials.
“Hell, I trained most of them and you want to put them on me? I can take care of myself.”
Fuckin’ A, bubba. Maybe Vic’s ego was getting in the way, but at thirty-six years old he’d had a whole career of spec ops training. Offering him protection came as an insult.
Mike shook his head. “Hey, asshole, did I say you couldn’t? All I’m saying is we put some muscle around you. Eyes in back of your head.”
Eyes in the back of his head. Mike had been his eyes for years now. Wasn’t he the one who’d given Vic a job when he needed one? Now they were partners. Mike handled high-end security, and Vic handled the civilian contractor assignments. The neutralizing-terrorists stuff.
“There’s no credible threat yet. I’m supposed to tie up man power for a maybe?”
Mike shrugged. “But you think it’s solid, or you wouldn’t have come in here.”
He had him there, and Vic scratched his head. The hammering in his ears went bye-bye, leaving behind the wilting end of the adrenaline rush.
“I brought a shit storm on us.”
Mike rolled his eyes. “Are we having a moment here or what? Don’t get ahead of yourself. Let’s see what happens. Meantime, put a team together and I’ll sign off.”
“We may not need them, but I’ll put something on paper.”
“Right. Let’s get someone to sweep your car and your apartment building. Just to be safe.”
Vic nodded. “Already on it.”
“Watch yourself,” Mike said.
This sucked. He should fight this alone, but knew if this guy came after him, he’d need a team. The gut shredding began. People, maybe his friends, were going to die.
And it would be his fault.
Gina had three checks for her brother to sign, one of which was for a company credit card maxed out by an overseas operative. Michael wouldn’t be happy.
A quick stop in the ladies’ room on the third floor allowed her to freshen up. She never knew when she’d run into Vic, but it always helped to be prepared. She fluffed her hair, checked her lipstick and gave herself a once-over in the full-length mirror. She wore the champagne pencil skirt and matching silk blouse her sister-in-law picked out. Not bad. Pretty darn good actually.
Roxann liked helping her choose age-appropriate clothes for the thirty-five-year-old she was, rather than the coed look she’d gotten used to. Gina liked her low-rise jeans and T-shirts, but maybe she was in a rut. A deep one. For four years now.
The romp on the beach with Vic made her realize she needed to make changes. To stop clinging to the person she’d been before Danny died. That person evaporated when a burning building collapsed on her husband and destroyed her world. Accepting the new normal hadn’t come easily, and she’d been fighting it by not altering the tangible things like wearing clothes Danny liked or hanging his uniform in the bedroom closet so she’d see it every day. Keeping things the same meant preserving some part of her cherished husband.
This included focusing on their children. On making them whole when half the parent base had disappeared. Putting their needs first and hers last. Wasn’t that what good mothers did? But somehow Gina the woman got lost, buried under the rubble of a burning building.
The time had come to dig out. Enter Roxann and her all-around good taste. Despite her penchant for classic clothes, Roxann could find things with a little funk to them. She made for a great sister-in-law, and Gina reminded Michael every day he’d better not blow it.
With a final flip of her hair, she left the ladies’ room and headed for Michael’s office. Vic stepped into the hallway, turned and smiled the slow wicked smile that always sent her heart into overdrive. Add the green eyes, the messy blond hair and the oh-so-sexy goatee, and a girl was done for.
“Hey, you,” he said. “What’s going on?”
Gina stopped a foot or two in front of him. Otherwise, she’d get whiplash trying to look up at all six foot five of him.
“I have checks for Michael to sign.”
He glanced toward Michael’s office, then back at her. Something was off. She searched his face, took in the rigid jaw, the crease between his brows and—bam—his eyes. Missing today was the twinkling mischief that promised a girl he’d put a smile on her face but wouldn’t relinquish his emotional armor while doing so.
“Are you okay?” she asked. “You seem distracted.”
He smiled the player smile this time. Like that would work on a woman raising three children. Puh-lease. Surely she’d lost her mind thinking he’d admit something to her. “Forget I said anything. If you need to talk, let me know.”
She stepped around him, but he reached for her and a zing shot through her arm. Damn. After that glorious night on the beach he couldn’t touch her without her body betraying her. Not that he’d touched her since then. On the contrary, he usually acted like she had a skin rash.
“I’m sorry,” he said. “You’re right. I am distracted. No big deal.”
“Fine. Just know my offer stands.” She held up the checks. “I need to get these to Michael.”
He pushed a curl from her cheek. What was with him today?
“Look at you.”
Vic shrugged. “You look…different.”
Different? What the heck did that mean? “New outfit. Rox helped me with it.”
Enough of this already. Because, really, she didn’t have time. She was getting nowhere with him when all she wanted was to get somewhere. And then he went and did it. He tilted his head and parted his lips just so slightly and a burst of heat exploded inside her. Suddenly, the hallway seemed tight. Closing in as his stare filled the space. At any second, it would occur to him that he should attempt to mask his feelings. The idiot hadn’t yet realized his ability to hide from her dissolved two years ago in her basement. That had been the first time she’d noticed the look and it still tortured her. Damn him for bringing it all back.
Her fingers twitched at the memory. Kneeling on top of the dryer battling the water that had shot from the pipe and doused her. And Vic staring at her in a way that made her miss having a man to curl up with.
“Holy shit,” he had said.
The words cut through the sound of gushing water and penetrated her focused struggle with the valve. “The handle is stuck.”
His gaze traveled along the ceiling, darting along the pipelines. Slow. Considering.
“Idiot,” she screamed, “the valve is here.”
He stepped around the large puddle forming on the cement floor and stormed to the back corner of the basement. “No kidding, but I’m not getting wet when I can cut the main supply.”
“The main supply?” What?
And suddenly, the river slowed to a trickle. She stared at the pipe, gave it a whack with the wrench. Bastard pipe.
For two years she’d been living as a single mom, dealing with appliances that failed, shoveling snow, getting the car serviced. Never mind raising three kids whose moods shifted like swings in the wind. She been doing it all, hadn’t she?
Without a man.
Until the flipping water valve got stuck. With Michael not around, she’d been forced to call Vic when all she wanted was to take a bat and smash that stupid valve to a million little bits. Just destroy that piece of crap. She pounded her fists on the washer because she didn’t need this evil, blasted, hateful valve making her feel like she needed a man.
Vic stood a few feet from her, hands on his hips. Did his lips quirk? She swore they did. No, sir.
She flicked the wrench at him. “Don’t you laugh. I’ll come down there and beat you to death. You will be bloody if you laugh at me.”
He remained silent. One of his better choices, because she was just mad enough to let him have it. She tossed the wrench down, pushed her saturated hair from her face. “I’m sorry I called you an idiot. That was mean.” She held her hands wide. “Look at me! I’m soaked.”
“Oh, I’m looking.”
The rumble in his tone drew her attention and she found him, head tilted, lips slightly parted, eyes focused on her…chest.
The one encased in a soaking-wet tank top.
A white one.
With a sheer lace bra underneath. Lovely. Her very own wet T-shirt contest. She gasped and spun away because…well…Vic. Never before had he done this, and heat poured into her cheeks.
Two years she’d been without a man’s hands on her. Two long years without passion. Without sex that left her loose limbed and quivering. And he had the nerve to look at her like he wanted nothing more than to put his hands on her.
Wait a second. Why not? She deserved attention. Didn’t she?
Besides, he had great hands. Big hands that let a girl know he’d take care of her.
And then she lost her mind.

Refining the process of gathering information
Bombarded by information from numerous sources, many people today turn to electronic news-aggregation services to find what they want. One European team of researchers claims to have developed a flexible and innovative tool that enables journalists and other users to fine-tune the process of news-gathering and delivery.
Early trials of this open-source, distributed system, developed under the IST project PENG, have only recently completed. But coordinator Gabriella Pasi says the participants were impressed with the results.
"Selected Swiss journalists and students assessed the performance of the system's various modules," she says. "For example they checked the effectiveness and accuracy of the information filtering, comparing the results with those from existing systems. They then looked at the integrated system and praised its user-friendliness."
Pasi adds that they liked the system's ability to find relevant information â measured in terms of recall (the proportion of retrieved and relevant documents compared to all documents in the collection) and precision (the ratio of retrieved and relevant documents to all the documents retrieved). A more detailed system trial is due for completion in November 2006.
More than just 'push'
The project originated in research carried out by several partners on information retrieval and filtering. Pasi notes that, "Our project proposal predated the launch of present news-aggregation services, which focus on 'pushing' out information based on user needs." The PENG system, by contrast, offers two distinct techniques: information filtering (push) and information retrieval (pull).
Current news-aggregation systems work very much like internet search engines, pushing out information based on certain user criteria. If users require further filtering, they must create a profile for themselves â which can result in the generation of somewhat limited lists. This process works well for journalists receiving information from online news agencies that produce a continuous news stream; but they still face the problem of selecting the most relevant news.
The PENG system enables users to go much further. By personalising filters, they can pick up targeted information from agencies and combine this with data retrieved from the web or specialised archives. They can also place constraints on the content they seek â such as the media category or trustworthiness of sources â to generate highly specific information. The system then calls on various modules to edit and summarise all this information automatically, before presenting it as the user wishes.
Innovative fuzzy algorithm
Pasi highlights the system's ability to learn user preferences over time. It can also deal with human vagueness or imprecision, such as in the filtering or interaction with the software.
The partners have also developed a new filtering algorithm. Based on categories, it can cluster news from agencies into thematic cluster groups such as sports or politics, for creating data subsets based on common characteristics (e.g. people with a certain hair colour). After these subsets are defined, the system can describe each group (e.g. this is the group with black hair).
"Of the two possible approaches to data clustering," says Pasi, "we chose 'unsupervised' because this approach does not force us to select a priori categories." She adds that the PENG system can display audiovisual content, but works mainly with textual information.
PENG was completed in August 2006. Though the complete system exists only as a prototype, project partner ATOS Origin is examining the possibility of using certain modules in standalone applications. The company is also interested in marketing the project's clustering algorithm, which could be used not only for filtering news but also for image gathering or e-commerce applications.

World of wonders at international festival
By BOB BAKKEN Staff Writer
The world came to DeSoto County Saturday when 14 different countries showed off their best to the area.
Called the first DeSoto County International Festival, the Landers Center in Southaven exuded an atmosphere of festive excitement with music, dancing, native clothes and tables showing different items that reflected each country’s culture.
An event put on to benefit the Hope Center community program, coordinator Sarah Bishop said organizers wanted to show there were clearly different shades between the cultural black and white that most DeSoto Countians should be aware of.
“Our team came together and determined that there needs to be a means to understand the culture that exists in DeSoto County,” Bishop, also a co-founder of the Hope Center, said. “In this way, we can rub shoulders with people that are our neighbors that we may not have ever spoken to. We’re here in the same building celebrating all of the cultures, watching performances, tasting the different food, seeing different arts and crafts and be enlightened in different ways by the different diversity that exists here in DeSoto County.”
Throughout the day, traditional performances, native foods, arts and crafts were featured for the people who came out.
And they certainly came out, as the convention center area and the hallway leading into it was filled with activity.
“This has been an incredible turnout,” Bishop said. “I’ve had many people walk up to me and say they couldn’t believe how many people showed up. Next year, we will have an even bigger turnout,” adding this year’s festival was put together quickly in a span of two months.
The countries represented ranged from a number of African locations, to Cambodia, Thailand, Jamaica, Mexico, Polynesia, Native Americans and others.
Bishop, who said she has done extensive global traveling, believes many people in DeSoto County are not fully aware of the cultural diversity that exists.
“It’s because people are not exposed to it quite often,” said Bishop. “People go to the grocery store, they may see someone and assume that they may be of a certain ethnicity, but they don’t truly know until they actually talk to somebody.”
Founder Stacy Dodd of the Hope Center said the festival does what his vision set out to do when the center was first conceived.
“We started out wanting to provide safe, fun and exciting events and this is the biggest event we’ve done so far,” Dodd said. “We are accomplishing the mission and actually going above and beyond our initial mission.”

The novel begins more than twelve years after events in “Warm Bodies”. A New York-bound flight from England explodes soon after takeoff and Casey fears that her lover was on board. Swiftly embroiled in a twisted series of events that paint her as a terrorist conspirator and a suspect in the airline bombing, Casey becomes a fugitive whose only protection is a small band of skilled agents operating outside of the law.
A Very Specific Target
“Somebody had a personal motive for blowing up two hundred and twenty-seven people?”
Harry shook his head. “For blowing up one person. The other two hundred and twenty-six were for free.”
I went over to stand in front of the sliding door. The glass was cool against my forehead. While I stood there, another airliner swooped from the sky and roared down the river toward National.
Harry stood beside me, not touching. When he spoke, his voice was scarcely audible. “He was on it, wasn’t he?”
“Seems pretty likely.” My throat was closing and my words came out thick.
“I’m sorry.” When he spoke again, the consoling tone was gone from his voice. “If he was the target,” Harry said, “they’ll be coming after you next.”

C. C. POST - Chief fundraising officer for Philanthropy, Charities &-Global Causes
As director of the company's worldwide charitable fund raising efforts, Mr. Post is in charge of organizing fundraisers, directing corporate outreach strategies and developing its wide array of philanthropic initiatives. He is also responsible for Eurasia brand management, strategic acquisitions, corporate alliances, investor relations and, most importantly, accumulation of our portfolio of entertainment assets, and other intellectual property.
Born and raised in Warsaw, Poland, Post had immigrated to the U.S., where he made his way in the Jewish banking world and achieved success. His financial success allowed him leisure time to pursue a life-long dream, being a patron to budding American and European artists. Post often told others that in his youth he had wanted to be a poet/playwright. His parents, however, refused to encourage-and sometimes openly condemned-his aspirations. Post claimed it was his parents' response to his dreams that made him resolve to become a patron to artists.
Most artists in this era don't enjoy the financial support of the state, church, or individuals that artists had in previous ages. Those 20th-century artists who became famous did so through their own sweat and contractual relations with promoters and managers. Post is a throwback to the 15th-century patrons of the Italian Renaissance. His dream is when he dies to be compared to Lorenzo the Magnificent of the Medici family.
A sample list of some of Post's philanthropic efforts in jazz patronage reflects the impact he had on the best jazz artists. He negotiated deals for many movies, music albums and TV programs. Mr. Post and the Founder of Global Family of Companies, Mr. John Sterling are friends for almost 40 years. Thanks to them Global has started to build its library of entertainment assets with intellectual property contributed jointly by Mr. Post and Mr. Sterling.
Post is no Medici clone, however -his patronage is decidedly modern in approach. He insist on making loans, not grants, to artists. Mr. Post prefers loans because they could be deducted as losses from his personal assets under federal tax laws. However, Post is idiosyncratic and erratic regarding his beneficence. He entirely forgave some loans, while he requested full repayment of others- the loan to Frankie Avalon was written off as worthless, for example, while Post expected full repayment of Robby Krieger's loan. Post also differed from a classical patron in that he does not require his loans to be used solely for the production of art. Rather, Post sees his funds as a method of relieving an artist's "material cares for a while." He demands very little of the artists by way of accounting, other than periodic updates via visits or correspondence.
In addition to providing cash, Post is a valuable patron in another way -he introduces his artists to the art world. Post's position with John Sterling of PBS's "Jazz Network" allowed him to introduce aspiring talent to directors, writers, and managers, thereby pening the door and allowing the artist a chance to excel based on his own merits.
In addition to funds and introductions, Post gives "moral" support to artists through his correspondence. He is careful not to become too familiar or intrusive in their lives, yet he responds with support when artists showing flagging spirits in their letters, or even when he might have justifiably felt used. When Chick Corea opted to accept an offer from a competing company, Post earnestly told him "I appreciate the loyalty and delicacy of your attitude toward me . . . We have neither the right nor desire to stand in the way." Post remained a patron to artists even during the early months following the crash of '2000. But, as the financial situation worsened, Post was unable to sustain his rate of philanthropy. Post's has been a victim of anti-Semitism at points in his life. He openly resigned from the board of a Polish Food Company because the other directors were uncomfortable with a Jew as board director.
Although Post's name is not known to many, his contributions to artists is significant to those artists he produced. Post is in charge of Global Entertainment Assets, and its the company Fort Knox. A portfolio, for lack of a better term where we keep the corporate treasure. The "gold and diamonds" whose value remains unaffected by changes in currency rates, inflation, deflation or any other economic trauma. Entertainment Assets, are the most gild-edged assets any Brick and Mortar or Information Age company can have. Assets which are better than cash because their value isn't decreased by inflation. Assetsthat area also known as "intellectual property."

Silicon Valley Comes to Oxford
L to r: Paul Graham, Kulveer Taggar, me, Harjeet Taggar, and Sumon Sadhu.
Earlier this week, Paul Graham and I participated in the seventh annual Silicon Valley Comes to Oxford event at Oxford’s Saïd Business School. I’d heard great things about this event from Kulveer and Harjeet Taggar of Auctomatic, as well as Google’s Chris Sacca.
Kul founded Oxford Entrepreneurs when he was an undergraduate, and has been an active supporter of SVCO. In fact, he met Evan Williams at the event a few years ago, and Kul says his interactions with Ev and other SVCO speakers had a big impact on his decision to move to Silicon Valley. He’s been writing about his experience in a series of Viewpoint pieces for the BBC.
Paul and I taught a master class on the evolution of startups. We presented a list of what seemed to us the major drivers of change for startups and discussed their impact.
- Moore’s Law
- The Internet
- Advances in programming languages
- Changing attitudes
- Increased funding options
- Changes in income tax policy (especially in the UK)
I was able to talk with a lot of students during the conference. It seems like the default plan for the MBA students is to work for investment banks or consulting firms upon graduation. But a significant number seem to be rebelling against this. Many planned to start startups instead.
Luckily, they didn’t need to look too far for inspiration. In addition to the experts SVCO usually invites from America, this year they were able to invite recent Oxford grads who had founded startups in Silicon Valley, including the Auctomatics and Bob Goodson and Kirill Makharinsky.
The Saïd School struck me as extremely energetic, and dedicated to developing a real sense of entrepreneurship. In fact the school seemed a lot like a startup itself. It’s quite young as B-schools go, but obviously determined to rise quickly through the ranks.
The most enjoyable part about speaking at SVCO was meeting the students. We met a lot of promising founders. I wasn’t surprised, though. Including our winter ’08 batch, Y Combinator will have invested in 7 startups with founders from Oxford. In total we’ve invested in 8 UK startups, so they’re 10% of our investments.
Other highlights for me:
- As I was sitting next to Reid Hoffman on a panel, I was delighted to hear he liked Founders at Work so much that he’d bought several copies to give as gifts.
- It’s always a treat to see Chris Sacca. He’s a big supporter of YC and a perennial favorite guest speaker. (Regrettably, I missed the late-night kebab tour.)
- While talking with Biz Stone of Twitter, we discovered that we’d grown up on the very same street in the suburbs of Boston.
- Speakers had a private tour of the Bodleian Library, Oxford’s main research library. We saw a Magna Carta, a book of gospels thought to have belonged to St. Margaret, and 1 of about 20 remaining pre-Columbian manuscripts.
- 2 current Saïd Business School students gave me a personal tour of Pembroke and Christ Church colleges. (Oxford is comprised of 39 different colleges, many of which are not open to the public.)
Adam Rubin and Jitin Dhanani gave me a tour of their colleges. Photo was taken at Christ Church, where scenes from Harry Potter were filmed.
Finally, I’d like to thank everyone in charge of SVCO: Jonathan Black, Clare Fisher, Deborah Lisburne, Colin Mayer, Josie Powell, and Fiona Reid among others. It was a privilege to take part in such a special event.

Jessica, it was great that yourself and so many other inspirational people were able to make it over. Hopefully SVCO will lead to more and more people following in the footsteps of Bob, Kirill and the Auctomatics in future years.

really nice snaps, i always dream for such a nice meetups. thanks for sharing

Dream final: Muller, Messi and the history of Argentina-Germany
Photo: worldsoccertalk.com
Wednesday's semifinal game was a only the fifth time that penalty kicks were used to determine a World Cup finalist. Argentina won via Romero and set up a classic finish. For some of us this is a dream final. Argentina versus Germany. Opposing styles, management, flavor.
Let me tell you a story now. Two stories, really. In the summer of 1986 I was only a small boy and soccer was something for grownups to watch and something to do during recess. Ecuador, my home at the time, had yet to qualify for its first World Cup and the US Men's National Team was only a memory of 1950.
I was enrolled in a German school for my elementary and the thought of cheering for West Germany was just . . . normal. So when I heard that they would be in the final I found myself to be the only one in the room cheering for the Germans. Everyone else was siding with Argentina and someone named Maradona.
The Argentinians jumped ahead by 2-0 before the Germans came back to tie the game 2-2. I still remember the name Karl Heinz Rummenigge being uttered over and over again. It wasn't until late in the second half that Argentina scored the winner, with Schumacher looking defeated on the ground as Jorge Burruchaga put the ball in the back of the net. Argentina won Mexico 86, but the final would repeat itself in 1990.
I was older in 1990 and I understood the game better. I remember us kids making a joke about siding with Cameroon for the opening game versus Argentina. "Cameroon will win," we said, knowing that, football-wise, this couldn't possibly happen. It did. Oman-Biyik put a header past Pumpido and shocked the world.
The Berlin wall had fallen at that point but the team that competed was West Germany. Its federation continued to represent the whole of the country thereafter. The Germans dominated, albeit unconvincingly, the opposition throughout the tournament, save for a tie versus Colombia in the final group stage game. They arrived at the semifinal to play a determined English side that had just knocked out World Cup darlings Cameroon.
Italia 1990 was special in the semis because both games went to penalties. Argentina defeated the host nation thanks to Sergio Goycochea and Germany won its game. This was the Germany of Brehme, Voeller, Hassler, Matthaus and Klinsmann. A talented squad.
This time the uniforms the teams wore were the reverse from 1986, when Argentina wore its albiceleste and Germany was dressed in green. In 1990 Germany wore its home white and Argentina its away dark blue. The game remained tied until the 86th minute, when the referee awarded a penalty to Rudi Voeller. Andreas Brehme put it away and Germany were champions for the third time.
I was happy, of course, given my school allegiance. We joined the parade of cars down the main avenue displaying my gym shirt with the German school insignia. Pride.
Things are different now. I concentrate on the US national team and its meteoric rise to the world stage since 1990. True, they are no superpower, but they have become a fixture at the World Cup and American players have slowly infiltrated major leagues worldwide. Major League Soccer has also grown both on and off the field.
And now that my teams (I include Ecuador here) are out of the World Cup and only the finalists remain, I am left with a bit of a quandary: do I cheer for Argentina or Germany? Messi, Higuain, Aguero and Macherano or Muller, Hummels, Khedira and Lahm?
I will not cheer for either team. I just want to see a good game. I feel Germany should be rewarded for being the best team in the tournament but Argentina has also won every single game until the semifinal's tie against Holland. Then there's the Messi factor. The guy is a genius and he has a chance to catch up to Maradona if he wins the World Cup. He's 27 and Maradona was 26 in 1986.
May the best team win in this dream final.

Arbitration and Mediation – The Process Explained
A. Arbitration
Arbitration is an alternative means of settling a dispute by an impartial third person (“Neutral”) without the need to proceed with a formal court proceeding. Arbitration has long been used in labor, construction, and securities regulation, but is now gaining popularity in other business disputes. In the past 20 years, Arbitration has become the preferred method for businesses to resolve their commercial disputes.
For business (contract) disputes, Arbitration is generally preferred as a means of resolving the matter in a forum which to avoids the expense, inherent delay, and acrimony of litigation and one which most importantly remains private. Absent an appeal, arbitration awards and the conduct of the proceedings themselves are not a matter of public record. Thus, businesses, can keep their business disputes confidential, can protect from the inadvertent disclosure of business records, (absent a court order, all pleadings, documents and records filed in a civil lawsuit, are available for anyone to review.
Parties to a contract can agree to Arbitration at the time of first signing their agreement (compulsory arbitration), or sometimes even after the dispute has arisen by way of a voluntary submission.
Absent an agreement of the parties or unless specifically provided for in the applicable arbitration rules, there is generally no discovery permitted with the exception of the right of a party to subpoena documents and records (subpoena duces tecum) or the ability to subpoena witnesses to appear at the Arbitration hearing itself. Every state has in effect some statutory provision granting the right of the Arbitrator to execute a subpoena compelling the production of documents or witnesses.
There are simplified rules of evidence in arbitration, affidavits or declarations are generally admissible in lieu of live testimony of a witness, and many of the foundational type objections to the admission of documentary evidence are either relaxed or completely ignored. “Hearsay” is also frequently admitted into evidence and considered by the Arbitrator, even over the objection of a party.
The arbitrators’ decision is given after an informal proceeding where each side presents evidence and witnesses. Arbitration hearings may last only a few hours or may take days or weeks for more complex matters. At the conclusion of the hearing and submission of exhibits, the Arbitrator will issue an Arbitration Award (generally 30 days after the close of the hearing).
B. Mediation
Mediation is much like Arbitration with one significant difference. In Arbitration, the Arbitrator or Neutral, considers testimony and evidence, and at the conclusion of the proceedings, issues a formal Arbitration Award making findings and rulings (much like a judge), and enters an award or verdict (like a judge or jury) determining which party wins and which party loses, and if money is at issue, the amount awarded.
In Mediation, the Neutral, still hears generally the same testimony and evidence (albeit in a much more summary or condensed format), and instead of issuing a ruling or award, acts to “facilitate” a resolution of the dispute which is acceptable to both parties. Mediation by its nature is a non-adversarial method of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) in which a neutral third party helps resolve a dispute. The mediator does not have the power to render a final decision on the matter or order an outcome. If a mutually satisfactory resolution cannot be reached, the parties can pursue either formal binding arbitration, or a civil lawsuit.

New 1.6-litre Saga
12:00 AM Wednesday, 25th May 2011
Subang Jaya, 25 May 2011 – National car manufacturer Proton today introduced a new variant of the Saga FL, empowering its best-selling model with an even bigger heart in the form of a 1.6-litre engine.
At RM46,549 – only RM3,700 above the selling price of the current 1.3 Saga FL Executive – the all-new variant is powered by the 1600cc Campro IAFM engine, and is available only with automatic transmission and in solid white colour. Bookings commence immediately, and the new variant can be viewed at all Proton showrooms nationwide.
Distinguishing the 1.6-litre variant are new alloy wheels and decorative body stickers, while its interior features such as air ventilation outlets, centre panel, door inner handle and steering ring, exhibit an elegant dark chrome finishing. Other features that come standard with the car are dual front airbags with seatbelt pre-tensioner, audio control switches built into the steering wheel, an audio system with USB port and side mirrors with built-in LED indicator lights.
“The 1600cc Saga should provide car buyers, especially those from the younger generation of purchasers and car owners with an even more attractive, affordable, cost-effective and powerful alternative,” said Proton Holdings Berhad Group Managing Director Dato’ Sri Haji Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir.
Since its introduction in January 2008, the Saga has quickly evolved into becoming one of top selling models in Malaysia, winning multiple awards and being named by Frost & Sullivan as the Best Model of the Year in 2009 and Best Passenger Car of the Year in 2010. Up until April 2011, 237,829 units of the Saga are already on the road with Proton receiving more than 285,499 bookings to date.
With the introduction of the Saga FL (face lifted variant) in December 2010, sales of the Saga had risen to an average of 6,700 units per month. Proton expects sales of the new 1.6-litre variant to average 300 units per month, which would contribute towards the projected sale of 83,000 units of the Saga during its 2011/2012 financial year. The company also hopes to sell a total of 173,000 units of Proton cars during its current financial year, which accounts for being 7% higher than the 162,012 vehicles sold during the last financial year. This would move Proton’s domestic market share up to 28%.
Meanwhile, Proton also simultaneously introduced a new signature solid white colour for the Persona. The 1600cc solid white Persona is available in both automatic and manual and is priced at RM59,049 for the High Line (automatic), RM55,549 for the Medium Line (automatic), and RM52,549 for the Medium Line (manual).
Winner of the recent Frost & Sullivan award for Best Value for Money Car of Year 2011, the Persona averages the sale of 4,000 units per month with a total of 156,487 vehicles already on the road and more than 173,011 bookings to date. It is also one of the top selling cars in the domestic market.
“Competitiveness greatly depends on the flexibility of doing business, and in adapting quickly to take advantage of arising opportunities. The continual introduction of different variants complements the roll-out of new models and is in line with providing customers a greater variety of Proton cars to choose from,” said Dato’ Sri Haji Syed Zainal Abidin.

Exclusive Proton R3 Satria Neo
12:00 AM Monday, 7th March 2011
Subang Jaya, 7 March 2011 – Engineered for more spirited and dynamic driving enjoyment, Proton today introduced an exclusive hot hatch, the Proton R3 Satria Neo.
Built by Proton’s Motorsports Division under the Race, Rally, Research (R3) brand name, the car is distinctively recognizable by its striking Fire Red exterior with a black painted roof.
Running the tried and tested 1600cc CAMPRO CPS engine, R3 engineers have upgraded its performance with the addition of Stage 2 performance upgrades inviting car enthusiasts to experience a greater dose of excitement. This increases power from the standard 125 bhp and 150 Nm of torque to 145 bhp at 7000 rpm and 168 Nm of torque at 5000 rpm coupled to a close ratio 5-speed manual transmission.
“Motorsports is one of several key strategies being pursued to enhance the Proton brand. It is a platform that allows us to not only promote the brand and increase awareness in new and potential markets, both domestically and abroad, but it is an equally rewarding proving ground,” said Proton Holdings Berhad Group Managing Director Dato’ Haji Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir.
“The R3 Satria Neo is an extension of our involvement and experience in motor racing, and it caters to a demanding segment of customers and enthusiasts who desire vehicles that are purpose-built for performance as much as it is practical for everyday usage.”
The R3 Satria Neo’s promise of an exhilarating drive is further conveyed by its all-round CPS bodykit; an R3 designed rear roof spoiler; a front lip for improved down force; titanium coloured side strips; and a more muscular stance the result of a 10 mm drop in ride height. R3 engineers also made significant enhancements to ride and handling, with the use of specially-designed R3 performance springs for reduced body roll; recalibrated alignment, toe and camber settings for more grip and steering precision; and R3 edition 16” inch gunmetal lightweight alloys wrapped in softer compound Bridgestone Potenza RE001R 205/45 series profile tyres for better traction.
Inside, the R3 Satria Neo features a sporty, yet classy and alluring matte red and black two-tone interior. R3 limited edition front bucket seats wrapped in nappa leather with ‘Trivel’ finish, carbon effect PVC and red stitching replaces the standard seats. Its fiery personality is also accentuated by the use of matte red dashboard trims, gear console and handbrake handle; two-tone door trims; R3 floor carpets, an engine start button; aluminium foot pedals and gear knob.
Limited edition R3 Satria Neo
12:00 AM Tuesday, 8th February 2011
Subang Jaya, 8 February 2011 – Built by enthusiasts for enthusiasts, and injected a bigger dose of high performance into its products, national car manufacturer Proton Holdings Berhad today unveiled for sale a limited number of Proton R3 Satria Neo hot hatches.
Engineered for a more spirited drive by engineers from Proton’s Motorsports Division, the R3 Satria Neo features Stage 2 upgrades to the standard 1.6-litre Campro S4PH engine and is rated at 145 brake horse power at 7000 rpm and 168 Nm of torque at 5000 rpm.
Available only with a close ratio 5-speed manual transmission, the R3 Satria Neo sports re-profiled camshafts that increases valve lift and overlap; a performance calibrated on board computer with revised fuel maps for spirited drives; a carbon fibre air intake system; a higher flow 4-2-1 performance exhaust system; and adjustable aluminium camshaft pulley.
Weighing in at 1,200kg, ride and handling has also been enhanced further to cope with the R3 Satria Neo’s personality. R3 performance springs drops the car 10mm lower to reduce body roll, and recalibrated alignment, toe and camber settings increases grip and steering precision. Complementing the overall handling and dynamic package, the R3 Satria Neo is fitted with R3 edition 16” inch gunmetal lightweight alloys wrapped in Bridgestone Potenza RE001R 205/45 series profile tyres that have a softer compound. The R3 Satria Neo is also factory fitted with high performance brake pads capable of withstanding high-temperatures of up to 500 degree Celsius for increased fade resistance often associated with constant heavy braking.
“The R3 Satria Neo is an extension of Proton’s involvement and experience in motorsports which will see a new generation of selected showroom models being injected with greater dynamic elements and excitement, mainly in catering to a niche segment of customers and enthusiasts who desire vehicles that are purpose-built for performance,” said Proton Holdings Berhad Group Managing Director Dato’ Haji Syed Zainal Abidin Syed Mohamed Tahir
Offered only in exclusive Fire Red with a black painted roof, the R3 Satria Neo sports a very distinctive exterior styling which sets it apart from its predecessors. The all-round CPS bodykit is complemented by a redesigned R3 designed rear roof spoiler; a front lip which improves down force on the front axle and reduces undercarriage turbulence; prominent fender arches; and titanium coloured side strips or mouldings.
The fiery theme extends to create a sporty, classy and alluring matte red and black two-tone interior. The R3 Satria Neo also comes fitted with R3 limited edition front bucket seats wrapped in nappa leather with micro fiber finish, carbon effect PVC and detailed in red stitching; matte red dashboard trims, gear console and handbrake handle; two-tone door trims; and R3 floor carpets. An engine start button, aluminium foot pedals and gear knob accentuates the R3 Satria Neo’s performance-driven attitude. All cars also come with solar and security protection. The car is also fitted with a 2-DIN audio head unit with 3D GPS navigation. Safety features include dual front airbags, and anti-lock braking system (ABS) with Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD).
The R3 Satria Neo is priced at RM79,797 (MT Metallic) and is available for immediate booking at all PROTON Edar showrooms in Peninsular Malaysia. Booking fee is RM2,000 and lucky early birds will be invited to the launch event and get photographed with our very own star drivers, Tengku Djan Ley and Faidzil Alang, both of whom are attached to the Motorsports Division of Proton.

4 Green Cleaning Secrets
July 28th, 2013 • BY Erinn Morgan
Linda Mason Hunter has a few tricks up her sleeve. The author of Green Clean: The Environmentally Sound Guide to Cleaning Your Home, Hunter is also a green consultant speaker, co-founder of GreenHome.com, and the daily host of “The Green Zone” radio program on Des Moines’ award-winning, low-power KFMG 99.1 FM. Her newest book is an eco-focused children’s tome, Three Green Rats: An Eco Tale.
A pioneering green advocate, Hunter is an expert in cleaning green. Here, she shares her four favorite—and lesser-known—green cleaning tips and tricks.
Tip #1: By far, the most important thing is to learn how to read a label. You learn a lot about the difference between synthetic commercial cleaners and plant-based products by learning the ingredients and what they do to human health. How can you know a product had green cred? Look for labels that say the following: “Botanically based,” “Hypoallergenic,” “Free of Petroleum,” “Non-flammable,” “Formulated Without Dye or Chemical Fragrance,” “Free of Phosphates, Nitrates, Chlorine, Ammonia, Acids, or Solvents.”
Tip #2: My favorite cleaning recipe—for soft scrub: To ½ cup baking soda add enough vegetable-based soap (like Castile) to make a creamy mixture. Use a sponge to apply and clean. Rinse the surface well. Use and discard. Will not redden hands as commercial soft scrubs do.
Tip #3: Before buying cleaning products, check out the Environmental Working Group’s (EWG) Guide to Healthy Cleaning. U.S. law allows manufacturers of cleaning products to use almost any ingredient they wish, including known carcinogens and substances that can harm fetal and infant development. And the government doesn’t review the safety of products before they’re sold. To fill those gaps, EWG’s staff scientists have reviewed what’s in products and created EWG’s Guide to Healthy Cleaning, which provides you with easy-to-navigate safety ratings for a wide range of cleaners and ingredients.
Tip #4: My second-favorite recipe—for hardwood floor cleaner: This is how I clean the hardwood floors in my house and it leaves the floors clean and sparkling. Add ¼ cup distilled white vinegar to one gallon of warm water. Mix in a pail and mop. Rinse with water. Don’t leave large pools to water to dry. I never wax my floors.

USS PERKINS (DD-877)
The third Perkins (DD-877) was laid down 19 June 1944 by the Consolidated Steel Corp. Ltd. Orange Tex.; launched 7 December 1944; sponsored by Mrs. Larz Anderson; and commissioned 5 April 1945 Comdr. T.M. Fleck in command.
Following shakedown off Cuba Perkins entered the Norfolk Navy Yard for conversion to a radar picket destroyer. In July 1945 she underwent refresher training rendezvoused with Boxer on the 20th and headed for the Pacific. At Pearl Harbor she joined DesDiv 52 and on 19 August sailed for the Far East. She entered Tokyo Bay the day of the formal Japanese surrender 2 September and on the 3rd joined TF 38. Operations in the Marshalls Marianas and off Japan followed and in April 1946 she returned to Pearl Harbor. On the 28th she arrived at San Diego whence she operated for the next year.
In May 1947 she returned to the Far East for three months on the China station two weeks of which were spent off Chinwangtao on the Gulf of Po Hai observing Communist Chinese forces.
Perkins returned to California in October and in January 1948 sailed to the Marshalls for the atomic test series operation "Sandstone". Overhaul followed her return to San Diego in June and on 4 January 1949 she departed the west coast for another tour off the China coast. Arriving at Tsingtao 7 February she was redesignated DDR-877 on the 18th. Scheduled exercises soon began but in addition she was called on to lift foreign residents of Tsingtao to Hong Kong as Communist forces took over the former city in May. In June she battled her first typhoon and after visiting Singapore in August she returned to San Diego.
Engaged in training exercises off the west coast and yard overhaul for the next year Perkins reassigned to DesDiv 11 sailed west again in mid-August 1950. She served on SAR station in the central pacific returned to the west coast in October and on 2 February 1951 got underway for the embattled coast of Korea. Between March and September she performed screening and plane guard duties for the carriers of TF 77 and carried out gunfire support and shore bombardment missions with TF 95. On 25 September Perkins arrived at Yokosuka from the bombline and the next day continued on toward the United States. In June 1952 she returned to Korea. She spent July entirely on the bombline shifted briefly to TF 77 then steamed south for duty on the Taiwan Patrol. By 8 September she was back on the bombline. On 15 October while covering minesweeping operations preparatory to an amphibious feint against Kojo 35 miles north of the battlefront one of her crew was killed and 17 were wounded by 2 near misses from Communist shore batteries. Only slightly damaged she continued her combat activities and for the remainder of her tour alternated gunfire support operations with carrier escort duties.
At the end of the year Perkins returned to the United States. In July 1953 she completed a six month overhaul and in August she returned to the Far East. There six months she patrolled off the Korean Truce line and Taiwan Strait and participated in exercises from Japan to the Philippines. After that deployment Perkins continued to rotate between duty with the 7th Fleet in the western pacific and operations with the 1st Fleet off the west coast. In July 1956 she contributed to the information gathering effort of the IGY by "chasing" weather balloons and in September 1959 helped TF 77 forestall overt hostilities during the Laotian crisis. In March 1962 she entered the Long Beach Naval Shipyard for Fleet Rehabilitation and Modernization. Redesignated DD-877 30 September she emerged from the Mark II overhaul and conversion in December with a new superstructure configured for DASH.
The "new" destroyer spent the next ten months exercising off the west coast and in mid-October 1963 resumed annual deployments to WestPac her first mission to conduct operations with the carrier Hancock in the South China Sea. Continuing to alternate 7th Fleet and 1st Fleet duty tours into 1970 each of Perkins's WestPac deployments have returned her to the South China Sea where off the coast of Viet Nam she has performed screening and plane guard duties for TF 77 provided gunfire support to Allied ground forces and intercepted North Vietnamese logistics craft navigating along the indented coastline to supply areas in South Viet Nam.
Perkins (DDR-877) earned three battle stars during the Korean Conflict.

Formal and Informal Employment Growth in Manufacturing in South Asia: India and Bangladesh
Rapid economic growth in South Asia has not resulted in increased economic importance of manufacturing as compared to countries of South East and East Asia. Although services have emerged as the predominant sector, agriculture continues to remain a major provider of jobs as far as the economies of India and Bangladesh are concerned. For those not working in agriculture, large establishments or informal sector manufacturing firms are the main sources of livelihood. However, modern manufacturing sector in the two countries lack the intensive, mid-sized firms that could generate the kinds of jobs that South Asia desperately needs.
This research focuses on the formal and informal manufacturing labour forces of India and Bangladesh, which comprise most of the poor in South Asia. It strives to explain the persistence of the “missing middle” in the modern manufacturing segment, with the use of recent data (national, regional and firm-specific) while establishing links with industrial policy making bodies and increasing research capacity on labour markets in the region. It aims to shed light on the capacity of the formal and informal sectors in Indian and Bangladeshi manufacturing to provide employment.
The research comprises two distinct parts
Part 1: International comparison of India and Bangladesh vis-à-vis other Asian Countries
Paper 1 – Size Structure of Manufacturing Industries – An International Comparison
Part 2: Detailed work on India and Bangladesh
A. Based on secondary data
Paper 2 – Non-household Sector in Indian Manufacturing
Paper 3 – Size Structure of Manufacturing Industry and Implications for Growth and Poverty – Bangladesh Country Paper
B. Based on case study and survey on limited number of firms
Paper 4 – A Case Study of Footwear Industry in India
Paper 5 – Garment Industry in India: Some Reflections on Size Distribution of Firms

Jack C-
Tribe(s) : Cree, Sioux
Language : English, Cree
"THE MOTION PICTURE YOU ARE ABOUT TO SEE WAS PHOTOGRAPHED IN THE LOCALS WHERE THE ACTUAL EVENTS UPON WHICH IT IS BASED OCCURED. EVENTS THAT GRAVELY THREATENED THE PEACEFUL DEVELOPMENT OF WESTERN CANADA."
Set in 1877, Canadian Mountie Thomas O'Rourke (Alan Ladd), who was raised by the Cree, is returning home from hunting with his Cree friend Cajou (Jay Silverheels). They come upon Grace Markey (Shelly Winters), the survivor of an Indian attack on a wagon train.
They start to take her back to their fort but she escapes and then Sioux start chasing after her. O'Rourke shoots two of the Sioux, and the rest scatter. O'Rourke finds out from a scout, Batouche, that some of Chief Crazy Horse's have escaped in to Canada after the battle of Little Bighorn.
The new commander at the fort, Benton, just in from England, wants to collect all the Crees weapons. he may drive the Cree to be allies with the Sioux. Cajou refuses to turn in his gun and threatens to join the Sioux. Cajou give O'Rourke his gun, but ends their friendship.
A US Marshall, Carl Smith (Hugh O'Brien) shows up to bring Grace back to Montana where he says she killed his brother.
With the threat of the Cree and Sioux joining up, Benton is ordered to abandon the Fort. Smith and Grace travel with the troops.
Sitting Bull and Crazy Horse want to meet with the Cree.
They run in to a Cree hunting party that wants guns to hunt with. Benton refuses and a brave takes a gun. Smith then shoots the brave.
Sioux attack and the troops fight them off. Benton wants to head through the open country for the fort. O'Rourke says they must go through the hills. The men back O'Rourke. Benton threatens everyone with a court martial.
The troops then run in to the Sioux and the Cree who are now together. The Sioux attack but the Mounties fight them off again. O'Rourke goes back to talk to the man who raised him, the Cree chief. The Sioux have given the Cree an ultimatum : join up or become enemies. O'Rourke goes back to the fort and tell the officers to give the Cree back their guns so they won't have to join with the Cree.
In a scene that really hurts the movie O'Rourke and the Cree drive off the Sioux who had been attacking the troops. The Cree chief says: "The great Cree are like children before the two red coats whose wisdom saved the lives of our women and children and brought victory to our warriors. And now I send runners to every Indian village in Canada to tell them of the two fathers who brought peace again to Canada and of your love for my people."
A movie that distorts a real event, the Sioux escape to Canada. It features the good Indian bad Indian theme with the peaceful Cree refusing to join with the war like Sioux. Bad romantic segment that suddenly pops up between O'Rourke and Grace also helps to weaken the movie. One things that shows is that the makers of the movie were pretty proud of the way Canada treated their native Americans.

Alix Baldini eager to help grow the sport of lacrosse in Jamaica and beyond
BY SHERDON COWAN
Observer staff reporter
cowans@jamaicaobserver.com
What started out as a simple stint for Alix Baldini to assist in the development of Jamaica's lacrosse, blossomed into a love affair.
Baldini first arrived in Jamaica in 2014 to teach high school students the game, but she has not looked back since and now volunteers her service as head coach of Jamaica's Under-19 female lacrosse team.
She will be assisted by Karli Brentlinger, who is currently the head coach of Women's Lacrosse at National Collegiate Athletic Association Division One Howard University, as well as Peter Kenny.
At 28, Baldini may seem young at heart, but her vast experience in playing and coaching lacrosse indicates otherwise, and her enthusiasm and passion for the sport knows no bounds.
When not on the fields in Jamaica, Baldini remains active throughout the lacrosse community in Florida, and played three out of four years on the Owls club lacrosse team, serving as a volunteer for the Major League Lacrosse team during their inaugural years at Florida Atlantic University.
She also currently serves as a youth coach for the West Tampa Wolves in Odessa, and head coach for the Lady Gators at Land O' Lakes high school, heading into her third season with both teams.
“I never ever thought about playing sports in my younger days, although I had a competitive brother, so I didn't start playing lacrosse until my freshman year of high school and I haven't found a love like this ever since. So I kind of stuck with it and I am glad I did,” Baldini told the Jamaica Observer as she summed up her journey in a recent interview.
Knowing that Jamaica is blessed with incredible athletic potential, the American-born Baldini, whose family shares an Italian background, has been travelling to the island from her base in Florida for the past five years with an objective to unearth outstanding lacrosse players.
That coupled with the fact that she is a strong believer in correct technique, has resulted in significant inroads being made in the sport's growth locally with players showing vast improvement.
“I got involved with the programme when I came down for a one-week camp to come help out and I ended up coming back two weeks later, absolutely loving it, loving the girls and I have pretty much been back every winter and summer camp we have had since then. The number of times I have been back here, I feel like I do have Jamaican ties, physically,” the jovial personality said with a broad smile.
Baldini's contribution to the sport will be put to the test when the team makes a historic bow at the August 1-10 Federation of International Lacrosse Women's Lacrosse Under-19 World Championship in Ontario, Canada.
Despite still being some ways off from their intended target of over US$100,000, to cover airfare, accommodation and meals for the championship, Baldini and her team remains resolute in preparation, with the hope that a few good Samaritans will come to their rescue prior to their July 28 departure.
Should they make it, they would be the first Under-19 female team from Jamaica or the Caribbean to make an appearance and Baldini believes they are poised for a good showing.
Leading from the front, this shrewd coach is capable of getting the best out of her players, as her advice and words of encouragement have produced a fine all-round team to be reckoned with.
“It has been a really good journey; there has been a lot of growth, but we are still working on some fundamental qualities,” Baldini noted during a training session at Wolmer's Girls recently.
“However, every single day we come out here, there is more drive, there is more intensity, there is more passion and there is more pride and it keeps growing every day. So I hope that we can continue to keep that energy up well into Canada, and I think it is going to push the girls to do really well,” she added.
Baldini's main ambition is to bring lacrosse glory to Jamaica and while she admits that doing so will be a difficult task, particularly on this their debut outing, she knows all too well that with determination and courage nothing is impossible.
Jamaica's Under-19 females have been drawn in Pool C alongside Germany, Republic of Korea, China and Kenya.
“I think it (our appearance at the World Championship) is going to help the sport grow more, especially with women's sport in Jamaica on a whole. Having the Reggae Girlz go out in France was great to watch and I am sure it brought tremendous pride to the country,” Baldini reasoned.
She continued: “So, I think this is an excellent opportunity for us to make an impact on female lacrosse and lacrosse in general in Jamaica, and I hope that it is going to continue growing throughout the many schools that we have already expanded to over the last five years.
“I hope it keeps growing to the point where we continue to go to different world games and just get our name out there, letting the world know that Jamaica has lacrosse and we are not stopping.”
Unlike the men's team, all but two of the Women's Under-19 team are local-based.
The 18-member squad to the World Championship reads: Jhanae Bravo, Kavell Brown, Ishcah Browne, Felicia Dixon, Brianna Roper, Tamaya Edwards, Shannen Graham, Jada Johnson, Tonishka Murray, Janicia Skyers, Jessica Sylvester, Kimberlee Tucker, Gabrielle Small, Alicia Thaxter, Patricia Walters, Jada Kade Williams, Johanna Silvera, and Isabel Lawrence.

QPR Juniors (2) – Chelsea Juniors (1) – The Match which Proclaimed Rangers as the South East Counties League Champions
December 28, 2019 January 7, 2020 Steve Russell
On 2nd May 1964 West Ham took on Preston North End in the FA Cup Final at Wembley. Whilst at Loftus Road at 10.30 that morning the Rangers Juniors faced Chelsea in a South East Counties League title decider.
A match report titled: ‘The Kings are dead! Long live the Kings’ appeared in the Hammersmith & Shepherd’s Bush Gazette the following week:
‘Chelsea’s seven year-old reign as supreme rulers of junior soccer in London came to an end on Saturday.
Undaunted by their opponents’ remarkable record or superior size the junior giants of humble Third Division QPR were the confident masters of both skill and stamina at Loftus Road on Saturday and deservedly beat Chelsea 2-1.
So the South East Counties Championship comes to Rangers for the first time in the club’s history and Chelsea surrender the trophy they have had sole possession of since 1957.
Cup Final day was a fitting time for the Rangers’ boys to clinch this title and collect their trophy and medals from League President, Mr Ambler amidst the jubilant rejoicing of their 2,000 odd fans.
It was also a fitting end to a wonderful season for these lads in which they also reached the semi-finals of the nation-wide FA Youth Cup.
Their success is a just reflection on the great work done by their manager Derek Healey, coach Jimmy Andrews and chief talent-finder Charlie Faulkner. Not forgetting the help and encouragement they receive from Alec Stock, the directors and senior players.
After beating Watford 3-1 and Charlton 3-0 earlier last week, Rangers only needed one point from Saturday’s game to clinch the title. But right from the kick-off it was apparent that they wouldn’t be satisfied with anything less than two.
First man to make his mark on the game was tireless 18-year-old Seth Vafiadis, veteran of 60 games for Rangers’ sides this season, who less than 15 hours before had put in 90 minutes of all-out effort for the first team against Walsall.
A Stamford Bridge reject, inside-left Seth soon showed Chelsea what they had missed. Breaking away from the half-way line he streaked down the left-wing, left full-back and wing-half completely beaten by a neat exchange of passes with Ian Morgan, and cracked over a hard, high centre, which flying leader Mike Leach came closer to heading home.
Well supported by wing-halves John Blake and George Jacks, Rangers’ front line had the Chelsea defence at full-stretch with some fast, free-flowing football and from one slick move between Sibley and Roger Morgan on the right, Vafiadis was only inches wide with a first time shot on the turn.
A big, fierce tackling side, Chelsea’s style was more direct and always looked dangerous in lightning breakaways. In fact, although Rangers had more of the play, Chelsea might have been three up in the first 25 minutes.
Springett’s first let-off came when inside-right Scott headed goalwards from left-winger Houseman’s corner. The diving ‘keeper could not reach it, but quick-covering Bobby Nash turned it off the line.
An even luckier escape came when a long through ball put centre-forward Osgood clear of the defence. He easily evaded Springett’s desperate dive but his somewhat hasty shot hit the post and rebounded clear.
A similar move saw Scott dribble round the stranded Springett only to shoot weakly, allowing skipper Jacks to race back and run the ball round for a corner.
Despite these narrow squeaks, Rangers still looked the more purposeful unit and in the 28th minute took the lead. Racing through with only the goalkeeper to beat, Leach was tripped from behind by left-back Hollins, and right-back Tony Hazell scored from the resulting penalty.
Chelsea had a chance to equalise almost immediately when Nash felled their right-back Henderson. The latter’s free kick was perfectly placed for Osgood to head home, but the centre-forward missed the ball altogether.
Chelsea’s goal had some narrow escapes too. Only a fine save by ‘keeper Willis kept out Jacks’ snap shot in a goalmouth melee and just before half-time Willis only just got his fingertips to an atom-powered Hazell free kick.
It was still anybody’s game and Alec Stock commented to me during the interval that on the gluepot pitch the heftier Chelsea lads must be favourites.
But seven minutes after the re-start a brilliant goal by George Jacks put the game right in Rangers’ pocket. Storming through from the half-way line, George sent the whole Chelsea defence going the wrong way and they waited for him to pass. Instead he kept going and crashed an unstoppable shot past Willis.
Chelsea reduced the deficit in the 67th minute, when from Scott’s long, low cross, inside-forward McCalliog did the splits to turn the ball past the wrong-footed Springett.
The fear Chelsea would last the pace better on the heavy ground proved unfounded. Urged on by the inexhaustible energy of Tony Hazell, the Rangers boys played themselves and their hearts out.
Even lightly built wingers, Roger and Ian Morgan were prominent right until the end and both came close to scoring. Roger was particularly unlucky. His sizzling left-footed drive on the return from brother Ian’s centre looked a winner all the way, but unnaturally spun off the inside of the post and back into play.
A great triumph for these eleven lads and the others sitting on the touchline such as, Bellotti, Gale, Parker, Brooks, Moughton and Wenham, who have all played a part in the side’s success. Rangers’ future certainly looks bright.’
The Rangers team was: Springett, Hazell, Nash, Blake, Hunt, Jacks, Morgan (R), Sibley, Leach, Vafiadis, Morgan (I).
So the R’s finished top on 52 points from the 30 games, four ahead of Chelsea and 13 more than Arsenal in third place.
They notched up 106 league goals and the leading goalscorers (League & FA Youth Cup) were; Mick Leach (29), Ian Morgan (26), Seth Vafiadis (26) and Roger Morgan (17).

AlanK says:
Look at that team, that’s what you call producing your own!
ESSEXURs aka Colin Woodley says:
Attended this game and rushed back home to watch the Cup Final as you did in those days.
Stood on the School End terrace in dreary weather and the usual Rs pitch which resembled a ploughed field.
Most of that side became the Rs first team which is an amazing achievement and it will probably not be achieved again.Little did we know what was to follow especially as the first team performances at the time were not inspirational.
Considering the day an excellent crowd and a brilliant way to start your day!

Inverted Alchemy: An Integral Economy
Wealth and the metrics used to measure it have become increasingly devoid of the dimensionality intrinsic to humanity. Welcome to the discussion of a new vision and an alternative Ancient Future of Wealth.
STRONGER Patents Act 2019 - An Even Bigger Fraud
On August 22, 2019, Ambassador John Kenneth (“Ken”) Blackwell wrote an article entitled Congress Must Stop The Erosion Of Patent Rights. Making reference to the proposed STRONGER Patents Act of 2019 sponsored by Steve Stivers (R-OH), Bill Foster (D-IL), Tom Cotton (R-AR) and Chris Coons (D-DE), he argued that ‘inventors’ should enjoy more unquestioned ‘rights’ and that the Patent Trial Appeals Board (PTAB) should be “reined in” as they were invalidating “over 75% of patents issued by the USPTO.” Ambassador Blackwell is on the wrong side of history…again. You might remember this masonic Ohioan from his infamous role as Secretary of State of Ohio during the controversial election of George H. W. Bush when he said of a court ruling against his bigotry that he would rather go to jail that follow the court’s order. He must have forgotten that Masonic (he’s a Mason) values include honor and integrity. But then again, he’s a Fellow of The Family Research Council – an organization that has never let honor or integrity stand in its way.
You probably don’t care about patents. I doubt you have given them a moment’s thought today. But you should. You are currently paying a tax to a broken innovation propaganda machine to the tune of an estimated 12.6% in many of the products and services you purchase. And its fair to say that over ½ of that tax is flowing to companies and individuals who have defrauded the patent offices and, by extension, you. So, put bluntly, you’re being robbed. And the worst part of it is the U.S. Government and its global counterparts are not only complicit – they KNOW that it’s happening and choose to do nothing.
Whether it’s the PTAB, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, or ‘second-set-of-eyes’ patent examination – the facts are tragic. With just a second opinion, close to 70% of the patents that are granted by the world’s patent offices are deemed invalid. Imagine what would happen if 60-70% of the dollars in your wallet or in your bank account were counterfeit. How long would you put up with that?
Ambassador Blackwell, Representative Stivers and Foster and Senators Cotton and Coons are dead wrong. But its not just the STRONGER Patent Act of 2019 that’s the problem. It’s the issue I addressed in last week’s blog post regarding propaganda. Since 1981 when Japan eclipsed the United States in legitimate patent filing, the U.S. Government’s official response was to liberalize the criteria for getting patents. This resulted an order of magnitude increase in patent activity. Did we get smarter? No! We got better at stealing, lying, and plagiarizing. And while it’s popular to blame the Chinese for ‘stealing’ innovation, where were the politicians when Siemens’ and GE executives stated that they took innovation from universities because “universities don’t have the legal war chest to fight them,” in 1997 at RSNA? Where were the politicians and industry associations when the (dis)Honorable Gerald J.Mossinghoff – former Assistant Secretary of Commerce and Commissioner of the USPTO – told an audience in Washington D.C. that if, “you bring me someone else’s patent and a check for $50,000, I can get you the same patent”? Where was Congress when UPSTO Commissioner Q. Todd Dickinson comfortably stated that his job was not to ensure patent quality but rather to “get his customers their patents.”
We’ve gone nearly 40 years making the fraudulent patent the foundation of our “knowledge economy” illusion. Foolishly, naïve countries like Singapore, Australia, the United Kingdom and the European Union have decided that it’s better to play ball than to hold up quality standards. Not surprisingly, the weight of the World Bank, the OECD, and every national initiative to build “knowledge economy” businesses have suffocated nascent innovation under the bloated ‘entrepreneur’ enablement interventions rather than building vibrant economies flourishing with transformative ideas. Tragically, with the exception of the Kingdom of Denmark – yes, the one that won’t sell Greenland to Donald Trump – no other country has been willing to call the bluff underpinning the Propaganda Economy’s leading currency – the fraudulent and plagiarized patent. And now a Conservative Republican is chiding Congress to defend the system his generation contaminated beyond repair.
It used to be that I was simply a locust eating, sackcloth-wearing prophet when I testified in Congress at the Patent Quality Hearings in the early 2000s. But times have changed. By measuring the quality that the Ambassador, Congressmen, and Senators patently ignore, M·CAM has succeeded in out performing the equity markets with our indexes and funds since 2013. And while academicians, economists, and legal apologists all seek to count patents in their Monopoly game while ignoring the multiply confirmed counterfeit majority of these artifacts of manipulation – not invention – our indexes and our funds show the value of separating the truth from the fiction. And regrettably, if STRONGER Patents gets passed, our performance will likely improve.
You don’t care. When you pay too much for food, medicine, smartphones, appliances, cars, voice-recognition customer service, building materials, seeds and so many other things, you don’t know that this theft is truly OUR PROBLEM. And the ignorance born of our confusion in believing that we’re increasing ‘knowledge’ while in reality being constrained by curated propaganda paralyzes us in the face of the tyranny of messages like those spouted by Ambassador Blackwell. Do you care? Share this and last week’s blog post in as many circles as you can. See if someone somewhere offers a counter-message to the Ambassador’s before Congress takes us back to the Dark Ages.

Korean Peninsula Blanketed by Worst Yellow Dust
By Bae Ji-sook
The Korean Peninsula experienced its worst case of yellow dust ever recorded Saturday and Sunday, leading the weather administration to advise people to take extra care as more is expected this month.
The Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) posted a special yellow dust warning for most parts of the country Saturday.
The dust in the air marked 2,684 micrograms per cubic meter in Daegu; 2,408 micrograms in Jindo, South Jeolla Province; and 1,048 micrograms in Sokcho, Gangwon Province. These are the worst figures since the KMA started taking dust density measurements in 2005.
According to the agency, the special warning is posted only when the density is over 800 micrograms per cubic meter. The KMA posted its first such warning in 2007.
Drivers and pedestrians said the thick dust clouded their visibility.
The particles also kept many people from going outdoors for fear of respiratory problems.
A KMA spokesman said the dust storm was initiated in the Gobi. ``Dust from Neimenggu (Inner Mongolia) and the yellow soil of the Hwangho River valley (China) have also contributed to the record amount of pollutants in the air.
Another dust storm is heading here from the inner part of China, likely causing more dust across the nation by Monday,'' he said.
Air pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide blowing in from China have long been a headache here.
The agency asked people to take precautionary measures when going outdoors and pay attention to individual hygiene.
Dust storms are said to cause or worsen conjunctivitis, respiratory disorders, allergic rhinitis and various forms of eczema.
Some civic activists have long urged the government to verify the pollutants blowing in from China and ask Beijing to take remedial action.
The Ministry of Environment has been lukewarm in acknowledging its effects. The authorities earlier this month delayed the release of reports on how air pollutants from China affect Korea and Japan.
A ministry official said the cautious stance was taken out of concern over a possible diplomatic conflict caused by the report.
The report on Long-Range Trans-Boundary Air Pollutants in Northeast Asia is based on a meeting of a group of experts in Japan in February. The ministry was to release its result on March 10. However, it has cancelled the release due to a ``lack of preparation between ministries.''
Asked whether the report needs approval from other ministries, an environment ministry official said, ``Some found the content possibly troublesome with China.''
According to a report by the National Institute of Environmental Research in January, about half of the air pollutants in the atmosphere here are carried in from China.

Cain Claims Spot on B1G Weekly Honor Roll
07-Jan-2020 / NU Athletic Communications
Center Leads Conference in Rebounding, Blocks in Big Ten Play...
Nebraska's Kate Cain claimed a spot on the Big Ten Women's Basketball Weekly Honor Roll for her performance last week for the Huskers, the conference office announced on Monday.
Cain, a 6-5 junior center from Middletown, N.Y., notched her third consecutive double-double to open Big Ten play with season highs of 19 points and 15 rebounds in Nebraska's 72-58 win over No. 24 Minnesota at Pinnacle Bank Arena in Lincoln on Saturday. Cain, who hit 9-of-13 shots from the field, also recorded six blocked shots against the Golden Gophers.
She opened the week with 10 points, 14 rebounds and four blocks at Michigan State. She went 5-for-7 from the field against the Spartans in East Lansing.
Through three Big Ten games, the Lisa Leslie Award candidate is leading the conference in blocked shots (3.7 bpg) while tying Wisconsin's Imani Lewis for the league lead in rebounding at 13.7 boards per game. She is also tied for 15th in the conference in scoring at 15.0 points per game, while ranking fifth in the league with her 64.5 field goal percentage.
Last week, Cain averaged 14.5 points on 14-of-20 shooting (.700), 14.5 rebounds and 5.0 blocks for Nebraska, which improved to 12-2 overall and 2-1 in the Big Ten. She did not commit a turnover in more than 68 minutes of action during the week.
For the season, Cain leads Nebraska in rebounding (7.8 rpg) and blocks (3.1 bpg) while ranking third among the Huskers in scoring (11.1 ppg). Her 58.2 field goal percentage leads the team.
Iowa's Kathleen Doyle was named the Big Ten's Player of the Week, while Ohio State's Kierstan Bell was the Freshman of the Week. Cain was joined on the weekly honor roll by Michigan sophomore guard Amy Dilk and Wisconsin sophomore forward Imani Lewis.
Cain and the Huskers return to home Big Ten action on Thursday night when they play host to Wisconsin. Tip-off between the Big Red and the Badgers is set for 7 p.m. with tickets available now at Huskers.com. The game also will be available on statewide television from NET, which will provide the BTN+ production of the game. Thor Tripp and Jami (Kubik) Hagedorn will be on the call.

Huskers Shoot Past No. 24 Gophers, 72-58
Cain Notches Third Straight Double-Double...
Lincoln - Kate Cain posted her third consecutive double-double with season highs of 19 points and 15 rebounds to go along with six blocked shots, as Nebraska powered past No. 24 Minnesota in front of a season-high crowd of 5,940 and a Big Ten Network TV audience on Saturday at Pinnacle Bank Arena.
With the victory, Nebraska improved to 12-2 overall and 2-1 in the Big Ten, while the 24th-ranked Golden Gophers slipped to 11-3 and 1-2 in the conference.
Cain, a 6-5 center from Middletown, N.Y., who is on the Lisa Leslie Award watch list, hit 9-of-13 shots from the field and was huge on the defensive end as well with six blocks and 11 defensive rebounds. She added an assist on the offensive end and did not commit a turnover in the game.
With Cain anchoring the Huskers inside, Nebraska outworked the Gophers on the glass, 50-38, but it was far from a one-woman show on the boards for the Big Red.
Sophomore Sam Haiby, a 5-9 guard from Moorhead, Minn., added 17 points and a career-high eight rebounds. She also tied a career high with a trio of three-pointers, while pitching in three assists and a pair of steals.
Senior Hannah Whitish also came up big in big moments for the Huskers. The 5-9 guard from Barneveld, Wis., pumped in a season-high 17 points while matching her season best with five three-pointers.
Sophomore Leigha Brown added eight points and five rebounds off the bench, while Nicea Eliely and Ashtyn Veerbeek each contributed five points and knocked down three-pointers for the Huskers. As a team, Nebraska buried 10-of-19 threes against the Gophers, who came into the contest as one of the Big Ten's best three-point shooting teams.
The Husker defense locked down on Minnesota's long-range shooters throughout the contest, holding a Gopher group that was averaging 8.4 made threes per game to just 5-of-18 shooting, including just 1-of-9 after halftime.
In a tight first quarter, Minnesota jumped to a quick four-point lead at 6-2 after back-to-back threes by the Gophers in the first two minutes, but a a pair of three-pointers in the quarter by Whitish, including one with 30 seconds left sent Nebraska to the second period with a 13-10 lead.
Minnesota cut the lead to 13-12 on a bucket by its leading scorer on the season Destiny Pitts, who finished with 12 points. But the Big Red responded with a three by Eliely, a basket by Haiby, another three by Whitish and a bucket by Cain to cap a 10-0 run to take the first double-digit lead of the game at 23-12 with 6:01 left in the first half.
The Gophers rallied to cut the Husker lead to 27-24 with three minutes left in the half before Haiby knocked down her first three of the day, Cain added a bucket and Haiby completed a traditional three-point play to push the margin back to 11 at 35-24 with 1:06 left in the half.
Pitts got the final two points of the quarter for the Gophers to send the Huskers to halftime with a 35-26 lead. Nebraska held Minnesota to just 27.8 percent (10-36) shooting in the first half, including 4-of-9 threes, while outrebounding the Gophers, 26-19. Minnesota won the first-half turnover battle, 8-5. The Huskers hit 43.8 percent (14-32) of their shots, as Cain, Haiby and Whitish combined to go 11-for-19 from the floor. In the half, Cain had eight points, eight rebounds and five blocks for the Big Red, while Haiby led the Huskers with 11 points and Whitish added nine. The Huskers hit 5-of-9 threes in the first half.
Minnesota got back-to-back baskets from Taiye Bello to open the second half to quickly cut the Husker margin to 35-30, before another 10-0 run by Nebraska that featured three-pointers by Whitish and Veerbeek gave the Huskers their biggest lead of the game at 45-30 with six minutes left in the third quarter. Minnesota rallied again to cut the margin to seven at 51-44 in the closing minutes of the quarter before a big basket by Cain and a free throw by Eliely sent the Huskers to the fourth quarter with a 54-44 lead.
The Gophers got no closer than eight points the rest of the way as Nebraska closed out its third consecutive win in the series against Minnesota. Taiye Bello led Minnesota by scoring 14 of her team-high 16 points in the second half. Gadiva Hubbard put three Gophers in double figures with 10 points - all in the first half.
For the game, Nebraska hit 44.3 percent (27-61) of its shots from the field and 8-of-13 free throws. Minnesota finished at 31.5 percent (23-73) from the floor but just 27.8 percent (5-18) from long range. The Gophers hit 7-of-8 free throws and won the turnover battle, 16-10.
Nebraska returns to home Big Ten action on Thursday, Jan. 9, when the Huskers welcome Wisconsin to Pinnacle Bank Arena. Tip-off against the Badgers is set for 7 p.m., with tickets on sale now at Huskers.com The game will be televised statewide on NET with that production streamed live on BTN Plus.

Scouting The Minnesota Golden Gophers
• Head coach Lindsay Whalen brings her second Minnesota team to Lincoln ranked in the top 25 for the second straight year. Last season, the No. 23/25 Golden Gophers suffered a 63-57 loss at the hands of the Huskers at Pinnacle Bank Arena (Jan. 20, 2019) in the only meeting between the schools.
• The Gophers come to Lincoln with identical records to Nebraska at 11-2 overall and 1-1 in the Big Ten, after dropping a 66-63 decision to Ohio State at Williams Arena in Minneapolis on New Year's Eve. Minnesota hit just 33.3 percent (13-39) of its two-point field goal attempts in the loss to the Buckeyes.
• Junior guard Destiny Pitts led Minnesota with 26 points on 5-of-10 three-point shooting while adding seven rebounds. Pitts ranks among Big Ten leaders with 17.1 points per game and has hit a blistering 46.7 percent (42-90) of her three-point shots this season. She also leads Minnesota with 3.5 assists per game. She is averaging 23.5 points and 6.0 rebounds through two Big Ten games while going 8-for-15 from three-point range. Pitts was a first-team preseason All-Big Ten choice this year after earning second-team All-Big Ten honors a year ago (16.3 ppg, 5.9 rpg). She was the 2018 Big Ten Freshman of the Year. Pitts managed 10 points but attempted just six shots last season in Lincoln.
• Pitts leads the Big Ten in threes made (42) and free throw percentage (.846).

• Bello leads the Big Ten in double-doubles (7), total rebounds (135), rebounds per game (10.4) and offensive rebounds per game (4.5).
• Junior Gadiva Hubbard returns to the Minnesota lineup this year after missing 2018-19 with an injury. Hubbard is averaging 11.8 points and a team-leading 2.0 steals per contest. The 5-9 guard gives the Gophers another dangerous long-range threat, connecting on 40.6 percent (28-69) of her threes. In 2017-18 in Nebraska's 79-74 win at Minnesota, Hubbard had 15 points and knocked down a trio of threes while adding eight assists. In two Big Ten games this season, Hubbard has been held to 6.0 points and 4.5 rebounds and has hit just 3-of-15 shots, including 2-of-8 threes.
• Freshman Sara Scalia has made major contributions early in her career. The 5-10 guard is averaging 10.9 points, 4.2 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.8 steals while shooting 45.1 percent (23-51) from three-point range and 86.7 percent (13-15) from the free throw line. In two Big Ten starts, Scalia is averaging 14.5 points, 6.0 rebounds and 3.0 assists while hitting 6-of-9 three-pointers.
• Senior guard Jasmine Brunson rounds out the Minnesota starting five by averaging 8.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.7 steals. Brunson is just 4-of-15 from long range and has not attempted a three in two Big Ten games. She has 12 points in three career games against Nebraska.
• Whalen has kept Minnesota in a tight eight-player rotation in the first two Big Ten games with only freshman Jasmine Powell, senior Kehinde Bello and junior Masha Adashchyk seeing action off the bench.
• Powell, a 5-6 guard is averaging 9.2 points, 2.5 rebounds, 3.4 assists and 1.3 steals on the season. She is averaging 5.0 points while going 3-for-13 in two Big Ten games.
• Bello, a 6-2 forward and twin sister of Gopher starter Taiye Bello, has managed 1.6 points and 2.1 rebounds on the year.
• Adashchyk, a 5-11 guard, has played in nine games on the season and is averaging 3.6 points and 1.4 rebounds. She is 4-for-9 from long range but 0-for-2 to start Big Ten play.
• Minnesota opened Big Ten play with an 81-74 win at Penn State. The Gophers led the Lady Lions 54-21 at the half, before getting outscored 53-27 in the second half. Pitts and Scalia combined for 43 points on 8-of-12 three-point shooting at Penn State.
• For the season, Minnesota is shooting 43.6 percent from the field and 40.2 percent (109-271) from three-point range while averaging 8.4 made threes per game.

Nebraska (6-7, 1-1 Big Ten) comes off a solid defensive performance in a 73-52 win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Dec. 29. In that game, the Huskers held the Islanders to 32 percent shooting and forced 15 turnovers which led to 24 Husker points. Nebraska used a 22-4 first-half run to take control and put the game away in the second half with an 11-0 spurt after the visitors pulled within 10 points.
Senior guard Haanif Cheatham paced four Huskers in double figures with 17 points, including 8-of-9 shooting from the foul line, while freshman Yvan Ouedraogo added 11 points and a career-high 14 rebounds for his first career double-double. Cheatham leads the Huskers in scoring at 13.1 points per game while shooting 53 percent from the field. Ouedraogo is pulling down a team-high 6.4 rebounds per game, including 9.5 per game over the Huskers' last four contests.
Rutgers (10-3, 1-1) comes to Lincoln on a four-game win streak after a 94-49 win over Caldwell on Monday night. The Scarlet Knights shot 52 percent, including 10-of-23 from 3-point range, and put five players in double figures. Jacob Young came off the bench for a game-high 23 points on 9-of-12 shooting and added eight rebounds and six assists. On the season, sophomore Ron Harper Jr. leads a balanced attack at 11.8 points per game, while the Scarlet Knights have six players averaging at least seven points per game.
Senior Matej Kavas has reached double figures in each of his last two games. The 6-foot-8 guard is averaging 11.0 points per game on 57 percent shooting, including 54 percent from 3-point range, in NU's last two contests.
.459 - Thorir Thorbjarnarson is fifth in the Big Ten in 3-point percentage entering January. He is 17-of-37 from long range this season after going a combined 6-of-28 behind the 3-point stripe in his first two years.
2 - Nebraska has out-rebounded its last two opponents, and if the Huskers can out-rebound Rutgers, it would be the first time since the opening three games of the 2018-19 campaign.
+2.8 - Nebraska enters the new year tied for the Big Ten lead in turnover margin at +2.8 per game. NU has committed 12 or fewer turnovers in each of the last five contests.
3 - Double-figure assist games for Cam Mack, which is the most by a Husker since Brian Carr had five in the 1985-86 season.
6.4 - Rebounds per game for freshman Yvan Ouedraogo, which is fourth among all Big Ten freshmen. His rebounds per game is on track to be the highest by a Husker freshman since Aleks Maric grabbed 6.3 rebounds per game in 2005-06.
8 - Nebraska has had eight of its nine eligible scholarship players reach double figures this season. The Huskers have three players currently averaging double figures.
50- Returning point total from last season, all by Thorir Thorbjarnarson. That is the lowest by any power conference team since the 2009-10 season.
SCOUTING RUTGERS
Rutgers has made significant strides under fourth-year coach Steve Pikiell. A former player at UConn, Pikiell spent the previous 11 seasons at Stony Brook, leading the program to six postseason appearances in seven years, including an NCAA bid in 2016. Rutgers won 15 games in each of
Pikiell's first two years and reached the quarterfinals of the Big Ten Tournament. Last year, the Scarlet Knights tied for 10th with a 7-13 conference mark. This season, Rutgers won six of its first seven games before dropping consecutive road games at Pittsburgh and No. 11 Michigan State. Since then, Rutgers has won four straight games, including a win over Wisconsin and a 20-point victory over No. 22 Seton Hall.
The Scarlet Knights feature a young lineup with only one senior and three sophomores. Junior guard Geo Baker is a three-year starter and averages 11.5 points while ranking among the Big Ten leaders in assists (4.0, sixth) and steals (1.8, first). Sophomores Ron Harper Jr. (11.8 ppg, 6.1 rpg), Myles Johnson (9.1 ppg, 8.7 rpg) and Montez Mathis (7.3 ppg, 3.3 rpg) all return after playing significant roles last year.
Series History: Friday's matchup will be the 13th all-time meeting with the Scarlet Knights. Nebraska leads the all-time series 8-4 and has won seven of the nine meetings since Rutgers joined the Big Ten. Last year, the two teams split their matchups with Rutgers winning in Piscataway before the Huskers rallied for a 68-61 win in the Big Ten Tournament. NU is 4-0 all-time in Lincoln, including 3-0 at PBA. Prior to the Scarlet Knights joining the Big Ten, the two teams split a home-and-home series in 2006 and 2007, including a 63-51 win at the Devaney Center on Dec. 9, 2006. The only other meeting was a 19-point Rutgers win at the 1999 Hoop and Quill Classic in St. Charles, Mo.
Last Meeting: Behind an opportunistic defense and a big second half from James Palmer Jr., a depleted Nebraska men's basketball team rallied for a 68-61 victory over Rutgers in the opening round of the Big Ten Tournament at the United Center in Chicago. Palmer scored 27 second-half points, including five points during a game-changing 15-0 run that turned a five-point Husker deficit with six minutes to play into a 61-51 lead with 1:30 remaining. Palmer finished with 34 points, tying his career high and one-point shy of the Big Ten Tournament scoring record.
Haanif Cheatham's 17 points led four Huskers in double figures, while Yvan Ouedraogo became the first Husker freshman since 2013 to post a double-double, as Nebraska closed non-conference action with a 73-52 win over Texas A&M-Corpus Christi Sunday afternoon.
Cheatham, who went over 1,000 career points on Sunday, helped set the tone early, scoring seven of 11 first-half points in a 22-4 NU run that helped the Huskers take control.
The Huskers, who improved to 6-7 on the season, held the Islanders to one field goal over a span of nearly 11 minutes in building an early 18-point lead.
NU, which shot just 33 percent in the first half, took advantage of opportunities when the shots weren't fall, going 13-of-19 in the first half, including 5-of-5 from Cheatham in that stretch. The Huskers also clamped down defensively, holding the Islanders
to 25 percent shooting, including 3-of-14 from 3-point range in the opening 20 minutes.
In addition to Cheatham, Ouedraogo finished with career bests in both points (11) and rebounds (14) to become the first Husker freshman since Shavon Shields in 2013 to record a double-double, while Cam Mack and Matej Kavas added 10 points apiece for the winners.
• The matchup with Rutgers features three of the Big Ten's top four steals leaders in Rutgers' Geo Baker (first, 1.8 spg) and Nebraska's Cam Mack (1.5, third) and Orange, N.J. product Dachon Burke Jr. (1.5, third).
• Friday's game against Rutgers begins a stretch where Nebraska will play 15 of its final 18 regular-season games against teams in the top 55 of the NET. In all, 12 of the 14 Big Ten teams are ranked in the top 55 of the NET and in the Kenpom rankings.
• Yvan Ouedraogo's 14 rebounds vs. Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Dec. 29 were the most by a Husker freshman since 2004 (15, Aleks Maric vs. UAB) and tied for the third-highest total in the last 20 years. Ouedraogo is the third Husker to have a double-double this season.
• The Huskers have already played three overtime games in the first 12 games of 2018-19, posting a 1-2 record. NU's single-season record is four, set five times, most recently in 2007-08. As of Jan. 1, Nebraska has played in three of the Big Ten's seven overtime games, while the Huskers' three overtime games is third nationally and leads all power conference teams.
• Despite the longer 3-point line this season, Nebraska's two returnees are shooting significantly better from beyond the arc than at any point of their career. Both players are averaging more than a 3-pointer per game, which are the highest rates of their career.

• One of the biggest points of emphasis for Hoiberg and his staff has been to shoot better from 3-point range, and that work has paid off. Over the last 10 games dating back to Nov. 22, NU is shooting 37 percent from 3-point range and averaging 9.1 3-pointers per game after shooting just 23 percent in the first three games of the season.

• With three players averaging double figures, Nebraska has relied on its balance. In its first 13 games, NU has put at least four players in double figures 10 times. The Huskers put five players in double figures against Washington State on Nov. 25 and at Creighton on Dec. 7.
• It is not surprising that Nebraska has relied on its 3-point shooting, as Hoiberg's Iowa State teams led the Big 12 in 3-pointers in four of his five seasons at the school. The Huskers are on pace to average 8.4 3-pointers per game, a total which would rank second in school history and be the most since the 2001-02 campaign.

• Cam Mack's triple-double against Purdue on Dec. 15 was the first by a Husker in school history and the only one by a Big Ten player this season. As of Jan. 1, only 12 players have had a triple-double this season.
•- Cam Mack is the only Husker in the last 30 years to have multiple points-assist double-doubles in the same season as he had one against Southern Utah on Nov. 9 and at Indiana on Dec. 13 in addition to his triple double against Purdue. In fact, it is only the seventh time in the last 30 years that a Husker has had a points-assists double-double. His consecutive points-assists double-double was the first since Brian Carr in December of 1985 (vs. UC-Irvine and Creighton).

• Nebraska enters Friday's game tied for first in the Big Ten in turnover margin at +2.8 per game. The Huskers have forced an average of 14.8 turnovers per game to rank third in the Big Ten while averaging 12.0 turnovers per game to rank fifth. During his tenure at Iowa State, Hoiberg's teams ranked in the top three in the Big 12 in fewest turnovers per game in four of his five seasons at the school.
• Nebraska has 12 double-figure scoring runs this season, including a pair of double-figure runs against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi.
• Nebraska's 14 first-year players on the roster matches TCU for the most in the nation in research done by the Utah SID John Vu. Only four teams (TCU-14, Nebraska-14, East Carolina-13 and Utah-12) have at least 12 newcomers on their 2019-20 rosters. Nebraska returns a national-low 1.9 percent of its scoring from last season and the 50 returning points is the lowest by any power conference team since 2009 according to noted statistician Ken Pomeroy.

THE CHASE FOR 1,000
Despite having only 50 points returning from last season, a third Husker this season is closing on 1,000 career points.
Junior guard Dachon Burke Jr. comes into Friday's game with 978 points and needs 22 points to reach that plateau. Burke's season high is 25 points at Indiana on Dec. 13. On the year, he is averaging 12.7, while shooting 41 percent from the floor, including 35 percent from 3-point range.
Haanif Cheatham went over 1,000 career points against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Dec. 29, while Matej Kavas reached that plateau against Southern on Nov. 22.
SETTING A FAST PACE
Not only are the Huskers adjusting to a whole new roster, but playing at a significantly faster pace than in previous years. The Huskers are 14th nationally in offensive tempo, as their average possession is 15.1 seconds per possession entering 2020.
• In his five seasons as a college coach, Hoiberg's teams have ranked in the top 20 in offensive tempo four times, including top-10 rankings in both 2014 and 2015.
• Hoiberg's first Iowa State team in 2010-11 jumped from 67th to 20th nationally in offensive pace and ranked in the top 40 nationally in adjusted tempo in four of his five seasons in Ames, including top-15 nationally in his last two campaigns.
• In the KenPom era (1997-present), only one Husker team has ranked among the top 100 nationally in adjusted tempo - the 1999-2000 Huskers under Danny Nee. The Huskers' quickest offensive tempo in the last decade was in 2017-18 when the Huskers were 140th in offensive tempo.
JUCO STANDOUTS MACK AND GREEN STEP INTO LINEUP
Two of the cornerstones of the Huskers' recruiting class were junior college transfers Cam Mack and Jervay Green. Mack (third) and Green (eighth) were both ranked in the top 10 nationally by JUCORecruiting.com in the 2019 recruiting class and have played a crucial role for the Huskers early in 2019-20.
Mack, who was listed as the top JC point guard recruit in the country, enters the Rutgers contest averaging 12.8 points per game while leading the Huskers in assists (6.5), steals (1.5) and assist-to-turnover ratio (2.2-to-1).
• He ranks 13th nationally in assists per game and is the highest Division I newcomer in the NCAA rankings. In fact, only two newcomers nationally average over 6.0 assists per game.
• Mack is the only player in the Big Ten ranked in the top five in both assists (third) and steals (third). Only four Big Ten players - Mack, Geo Baker (Rutgers), CJ Walker (Ohio State) and Anthony Cowan (Maryland) rank in the top-10 in both categories as
of Jan. 1.
• His 6.5 assists per game is on pace to rank third in school history, trailing only Brian Carr, who averaged 7.9 assists per game in 1984-85 and 6.7 assists per game in 1985-86.
• He recorded the first triple-double in program history against Purdue on Dec. 15 with 11 points, 10 rebounds and 12 assists, setting season bests in both rebounds and assists in NU's 70-54 win.
• Mack is one of only five players nationally - and two in the Big Ten - to have at least three points-assists double-doubles this season. He also had 13 points and 11 assists against Southern Utah on Nov. 9 and 15 points and 10 assists at Indiana on Dec. 13.
• He's reached double figures 11 times, including a season-high 24-point performance against South Dakota State on Nov. 15.
• Last season at Salt Lake CC, Mack averaged 19.1 points, 7.6 assists and 5.9 rebounds per game, ranking fifth nationally in assists per game. He totaled nine double-doubles and three triple doubles as a freshman and dished out 10-or-more assists nine times.
Green was rated as the No. 2 combo guard nationally after a stint at Western Nebraska CC, has been a jack-of-all-trades for the Big Red, averaging 9.5 points along with 4.6 rebounds and 2.6 assists per game. He ranks i_n the top four on the squad in rebounding, assists, steals (1.1 spg) and blocks (0.5 bpg). Green has come off the bench the last two games after missing two games for a violation of team rules.
• He has been in double figures five times, including a season-high 22 points in an overtime win over Southern on Nov. 22. His two 3-pointers helped key a 10-0 spurt in overtime to seal the win.
• Green nearly posted a double-double against Washington State on Nov. 25 with 16 points and eight rebounds in 27 minutes.
• He nearly had a double-double against Southern Utah on Nov. 9 with 18 points and a team-high eight rebounds, as he sent the game into overtime with a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
• Green garnered NJCAA All-America honors at WNCC in 2019, averaging 23.6 points, 5.7 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game. He was eighth nationally in scoring and had six 30-point games, including a school-record 51-point outburst.
CHEATHAM MAKES IMPACT ON BOTH ENDS
Fifth-year senior Haanif Cheatham has been one of the leaders for a young Husker team. The guard from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., is NU's most experienced player, as he played in 80 games between Marquette and Florida Gulf Coast before coming to Nebraska for his final year. Cheatham has played some of the best basketball of his career over the last month. Over Nebraska's last nine games, he's averaging 15.9 points and 4.3 rebounds per game, while typically guarding the opponent's top scoring threat.
• Cheatham has reached double figures in eight of the Huskers' last nine games, including a 21-point, six-rebound performance at Indiana on Dec. 13. He had six straight double-figure efforts from Nov. 25-Dec. 13, the second-longest streak of his collegiate career.
• He went over 1,000 career points with a 17-point performance against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Dec. 29.
• Cheatham posted his first career double-double with 14 points and a career-high 11 rebounds at Georgia Tech on Dec. 4.
• He was in double figures all three games of the Cayman Islands Classic, averaging 19.0 ppg including a career-best 26-point effort against South Florida to garner all-tournament honors.
A former top-100 recruit out of high school, he was named Marquette's top defensive performer in each of his two full seasons at Marquette.
BURKE SHOWS SCORING TOUCH
The other returnee from the 2018-19 season, Dachon Burke Jr. waited in the wings after transferring from Robert Morris. A 6-foot-4 guard, Burke has quickly shown the skills to flourish in Fred Hoiberg's attack, averaging 12.7 points and 4.0 rebounds per game. Burke has reached double figures eight times, including a 25-point effort against Indiana on Dec. 13 and a 21-point performance against South Florida on Nov. 27. Burke leads the Huskers in 3-pointers (19) and is shooting over 35 percent from 3-point range.
Two years ago, Burke was one of the best players in the Northeast Conference, averaging 17.6 points per game while adding 5.8 rebounds and a conference-best 2.1 steals per contest.
OUEDRAOGO ADDS NAME TO SHORT LIST OF TRUE FROSH
Freshman Yvan Ouedraogo became the first true freshman to start a season opener at Nebraska since 2013 and has been a mainstay of the Husker lineup.
• He is one of the youngest players in the country, as he won't turn 18 until after the 2020 Big Ten Tournament.
• Ouedraogo has started all 13 games for the Huskers, averaging 6.2 points and a team-high 6.4 rebounds per game in just over 21 minutes per game.
• He is on track to be the third freshman to lead NU in rebounding in a season, joining Aleks Maric (2005-06) and John Turek (2001-02).
• Ouedraogo has played some of his best basketball recently, averaging 8.8 points and 9.5 rebounds per game over the Huskers' last four contests dating back to Dec. 13.
• He picked up his first career double-double against Texas A&M-Corpus Christi on Dec. 29 with 11 points and 14 rebounds. His double-double was the first by a Husker freshman since Shavon Shields in 2013 and Ouedraogo became just the 10th freshman to record a double-double.
• His 10 rebounds against Indiana marked the second-highest rebounding total for a Husker freshman in his first conference game, trailing only Dave Hoppen in 1983.
• He enjoyed his offensive effort of the season with 11 points, including six in overtime, and four rebounds against Southern on Nov. 22. He snared a team-high 12 rebounds against South Dakota State on Nov. 15.
• He is just the 11th true freshman and 13th freshman overall to start a season opener in the last 25 years at Nebraska, joining a group which includes 1,000-point scorers Tai Webster, Ryan Anderson, Cookie Belcher and Tyronn Lue.
Ouedraogo played for the French U-18 squad at the 2019 European Championships in July, as France went 6-1 and finished fifth in the competition.
CROSS LIFTS BENCH PRODUCTION
Freshman Kevin Cross has been a key contributor for the Huskers. The 6-foot-8 freshman from Little Rock, Ark., has been the first Husker off the bench in all 13 games and is averaging 6.8 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.
• Cross is seventh among Big Ten true freshmen in scoring and fourth in rebounding as of Jan. 1.
• He has become more efficient rebounding, averaging 6.3 rebounds per game over the Huskers' last four contests. He has grabbed five-or-more rebounds eight times this season.
• Cross has been in double figures four times off the bench, including a season-high 19 points against Southern Utah. He became the first freshman in 73 games to pace the Huskers in scoring, while his 19-point effort was the highest by a Husker rookie since Shavon Shields in 2013.
• He played a complete game in the win over Washington State, scoring 14 points, grabbing a season-high eight rebounds and blocking two shots in 27 minutes
• Cross played a big role in NU's comeback against Southern, scoring all eight of his points in the second half as the Huskers overcame an eight-point deficit.
• He was efficient against South Dakota State, finishing with 10 points on 4-of-5 shooting and two blocked shots.
KAVAS IS ONE OF NATION'S TOP SHOOTERS
Senior transfer Matej Kavas comes to Nebraska with a reputation as one of the nation's top 3-point shooters. The 6-foot-8 guard is a career 44 percent shooter from 3-point range, and shot 40 percent or better in all three of his seasons at Seattle. Kavas' .433 career percentage ranks 12th among active Division I players.
• To put Kavas' shooting in perspective, Nebraska's career mark for career 3-point percentage is .432 by Brian Conklin (2001-04) and only five players in school history have shot 40 percent in their Husker career with a minimum of 100 3-pointers.
• Kavas had his best performance of the year against North Dakota on Dec. 21, hitting 4-of-5 3-pointers. It was the 18th time in his career he had 4-or-more 3-pointers in a game.
• As a sophomore at Seattle, Kavas led the WAC in both 3-point percentage (.464) and 3-pointers per game (2.8).
• Kavas' 186 career 3-pointers would ranks third on NU's career list while his 91 3-pointers as a sophomore would top NU's single-season mark (Cary Cochran, 89, 2001-02).

Huskers Fall at Michigan State in OT
Nebraska loses just second game of the year...
East Lansing, Mich. - Sam Haiby led four Huskers in double figures with 19 points, but the Nebraska women's basketball team suffered a 78-70 overtime loss at Michigan State on Saturday at the Breslin Center.
Nebraska took its first road loss of the season to slip to 11-2 overall and 1-1 in the Big Ten, while the Spartans improved to 6-0 at home on the year to move to 8-5 and 1-1 in the league. Sophomore Nia Clouden led five Spartans in double figures with 16 points and seven assists, while senior point guard Taryn McCutcheon scored all 15 of her points in the game after halftime to help Michigan State rally from a 10-point second-half deficit to victory.
Rebounding was the key stat in the second half and the game, as the Spartans were plus-15 on the boards after halftime, winning the battle 53-35 for the game. In the first half, Michigan State held a 20-17 edge on the boards but trailed 29-23 on the scoreboard.
The Huskers quickly pushed the lead to 10 points on their first two possessions of the second half, taking a 33-23 lead with 9:18 left in the third quarter, but McCutcheon's three-pointer with 1:41 left in the third cut the NU lead to 41-40. Nebraska shut out the Spartans the rest of the quarter and maintained its six-point advantage at the end of the period (46-40).
Husker senior Hannah Whitish capped an 8-0 run with Nebraska's only three-pointer of the second half to give Nebraska a 49-40 lead with 9:17 left in regulation. A layup by Nicea Eliely, who finished with 14 points, kept NU's margin at nine (51-42), before the Spartans erupted on a 10-0 run over the next 3:24 to take a 52-51 lead with 5:06 left on a Kayla Belles three-point play. Belles finished with 11 points and eight rebounds for the Spartans.
The two teams were in a dogfight for the rest of regulation, as the Huskers regained a 53-52 lead on an Ashtyn Veerbeek short-corner jumper with 3:53 left. Kate Cain, who notched her second straight double-double and 10th of her career with 10 points and 14 rebounds, scored to give Nebraska 55-53 lead with 3:03 left, before another Eliely layup put the Big Red up 57-54 with 1:26 left. Cain added four blocks in the game to move into sole possession of second place on NU's career block list with 217.
However, Nia Clouden's three-pointer with 57 seconds left tied the game at 57.
Haiby hit a free throw with 37.1 left to put Nebraska back up by one, before Brown added a free throw with 15.7 left to give Nebraska a 59-57 lead. Brown finished with 10 points, three rebounds and three assists. Both teams missed four free throws in the fourth quarter.
The Huskers played solid defense and the Spartans were in a scramble on the floor before the ball rolled out of bounds off NU with 3.8 seconds. On the ensuing sideline out-of-bounds throw-in, NU's Isabelle Bourne deflected the pass and dove after the ball in the corner with MSU's Tory Ozment. Bourne was called for a loose-ball foul with 2.2 seconds left, sending the 90 percent free throw shooter Ozment to the line. Ozment tied the game by hitting both free throws to send it to overtime. Ozment finished with 11 points.
Michigan State won the tip in overtime and scored on a Belles layup 20 seconds into the extra period and Nebraska was never able to recover. A free throw by Haiby cut the margin to 61-60 but the third three-pointer of the game by Moira Joiner, who finished with 13 points and six rebounds, gave the Spartans a four-point lead before they took their biggest lead of the game to that point on a shot by McCutcheon to make it 66-60. Clouden's second three of the game followed by a pair of McCutcheon free throws put MSU up nine (73-64) with 35 seconds left.
For the game, Nebraska hit 42.6 percent (26-61) of its shots from the field but just 2-for-17 threes (.118). The Huskers also hit just 61.5 percent (16-26) of their free throws. Nebraska did win the turnover battle 19-18 and outscored MSU 20-11 in points off turnovers in the game.
Michigan State hit just 37.5 percent (27-72) of its shots, but hit 7-of-20 threes (.350) including 6-of-15 in the second half. The Spartans also hit 17-of-25 free throws, including 6-of-7 in OT. MSU outscored Nebraska 22-9 in second-chance points.
Nebraska used a big 10-0 run midway through the first quarter to take control after trailing the Spartans 8-4 early. Haiby and freshman Trinity Brady were the keys to the Big Red burst, with Brady getting two points, two steals and a big defensive rebound while Haiby added a steal and back-to-back three-point plays.
Haiby finished with eight in the first quarter to shoot Nebraska to a 20-12 lead, before adding seven in the second period to send the Huskers to the halftime locker room with a 29-23 edge. Haiby finished with 15 points in the half and went 6-for-6 from the field including NU's only three-pointer, while hitting both her free throws. She added three assists, three steals and a rebound in the half.
Cain helped the Huskers with six points and seven rebounds in the half, as Nebraska hit 42.9 percent (12-28) of its shots, but just 1-of-8 threes. The Huskers went 4-for-4 at the line and won the turnover battle 10-9 in the half. Nebraska turned MSU's 10 turnovers into 14 points, while Spartans converted NU's turnovers to just four points in the first half. Michigan State won the first-half battle of the boards 20-17.
The Spartans, who were playing without injured fifth-year senior starters Shay Colley and Victoria Gaines, hit just 35.5 percent (11-31) of their shots from the floor, including 1-of-5 threes. Five Spartans finished with four or more points, led by five points from freshman Moira Joiner on 2-of-7 shooting.
Nebraska returns home Saturday to play host to No. 24 Minnesota. Tip-off between the Huskers and the Golden Gophers on Saturday at Pinnacle Bank Arena is set for 5 p.m., with tickets available now at Huskers.com. The game will be televised live by BTN with a radio broadcast by the Learfield IMG College Husker Sports Network.

Upon completion of the RTO, current shareholders of the Company will hold approximately 7.7% of the total issued and outstanding shares of the resulting issuer.
It is expected that management of the resulting issuer will consist of the following individuals, Troy Jerome and Beaver Paul Troy Jerome and Beaver Paul and that the board of the Company will be reconstituted to comprise five (5) directors including two (2) current directors of Meryllion, subject to the policies of the Exchange and applicable corporate and securities laws.

Unfaithful - Streetfighter

Share this on Facebook | Share this on Twitter
Swedish four piece UNFAITHFUL are by all accounts fiercely opposed to bullying. The title track of their debut album revolves around the subject and they’ve also pledged to donate some of the proceeds of their album sales to an anti-bullying charity. This is very noble of course and it’s a worthy cause to support, it’s just unfortunate that their lyrical approach seems to miss the point entirely.
How so? Well, because if you were to take "Streetfighter" at face value, their solution to the problem seems to revolve around unleashing professional cage fighters on school children. It’s a song about how haters are gonna get knocked the fuck out and how the bell ain’t saving you this time, but it completely ignores the victims. Being on the receiving end of bullying can be a deeply traumatic experience, but there’s no mention at all of the loneliness, alienation or self-loathing victims suffer and the song focuses instead on the heroic, macho tough guy who swoops in and smashes the bully beneath his mighty conquering man-fists.
This is a song that should have been a triumphant homage to the downtrodden, a rousing and uplifting anthem about staying strong and surviving against impossible odds. Instead it’s unconvincing tough guy posturing and to such an extent that on the first few listens you might not even notice it’s about bullying at all.
Unfortunately this misguided approach translates to the rest of the album as well. These lads can certainly play and singer Marcus Karregard is an undeniably charismatic leader, but it’s hard to believe anything they come out with. "Vegas Baby" for example is a party song about tearing it up in Nevada, but it sounds like it’s been written by people who are basing it all on repeat screenings of The Hangover Trilogy.
They’ve got a few good songs in them, but while "The Kid" is an enjoyable catchy number, for the most part UNFAITHFUL don’t convince. Like FIVE FINGER DEATH PUNCH before them, they write songs about fighting and being an awesomely powerful, fist-swinging alpha male, but they don’t sound like they’ve actually swung a punch in their entire lives. They want you to believe they’ve grown up on the mean streets, but come across more like guys who grew up comfortably and spent too much time watching SONS OF ANARCHY before writing the album.
Worst of the bunch though is the closing "Unrestrained" The focus of this one is on how wild and unhinged their live shows get, but while they might have wanted to write a pit-inducing rabble rouser, that’s not what they’ve wound up with. Including the line “I want to see you all lose your fucking minds” as a melodic hook was a terrible mistake and for all their good intentions, UNFAITHFUL have accidentally written the audio equivalent of standing stock still, feeling a bit awkward and smiling politely while waiting for the headliners to come on. Avoid.

Guide for European parliamentarians visiting children in migrant detention
The Council of Europe has published a new guide for EU parliamentarians when visiting places where children are deprived of liberty as a result of immigration procedures.
“In Council of Europe member states, thousands of children wake up in immigration detention every day,” the guide’s introduction reads. “The situation of these children is often out of sight and out of mind of governments, lawmakers and the general public.
“The only way to bring immigration detention of children to an end is for policymakers to be fully aware and take action to change their policies and practices.”
The guide aims to inform parliamentarians about the effects of immigration detention on children “in order to become effective advocates for the end of this practice. Visits by parliamentarians can also have important deterrent effects and reduce human rights violations in places of detention.”
The guide is available as a free download at tinyurl.com/008918GBR.

1969 - Doc Gaining Valuable Experience
Doc Dawson
Lima Ohio (June 22, 1969) “You can’t realize just how fast they’re going,” claimed USAC sprint car newcomer Doc Dawson of Lima, Ohio, a man who never was a slouch behind the wheel of a race car. “They just go a little bit faster than I accustomed to going.”
Doc left the area modified ranks this spring and jumped into the big league of auto racing - the United States Auto Club sprint division - for what he hopes will be an eventual shot at the Indianapolis 500.
“I’ve learned more in my five or six shows with USAC,” Dawson said, “than I have in three or four years driving the super modifieds. I’m getting a lot of experience.”
In those five or six shows, this year, the Lima driver has had more than his share of success, while at the same time having more than his share of bad breaks.
His biggest accomplishment to date came two weeks ago at Eldora Speedway when he set fast time on the half-mile high-banked dirt track with a time of 18.33.
“I really wasn’t trying for fast time,” laughed a pleased Doc. “I just got in the high groove and went.”
“I’ve never won a feature race at Eldora,” he explained. “And I thought I had one.”
Dawson had worked his way up from the sixth starting position into the lead by the 16th lap. “I had a real good chance to win it,” he said, “but something knocked a hole in the oil pan.”
With four laps to go, the car ran out of oil and Doc was forced to shut off. Bruce Walkup inherited the lead and Larry Cannon eventually took the victory. Walkup is one of the most difficult men in racing to hole off, but Doc had the race all but wrapped up when misfortune struck.
His luck was even worse earlier this year. In the first show at Eldora, Doc set third fastest time in qualification and was doing an excellent job in a heat race when he caught a rut and landed upside down, through for the day.
“I was kind of discouraged at first,” Doc admitted. “I just wasn’t making any money. I even thought about dropping out. My biggest problem was that I lacked experience.”
Dawson began racing at the old Allentown Speedway back in 1963 and in 1965 he began driving the super-modifieds. “I never really had top equipment before this year,” he said.
With the encouragement of several other USAC drivers, Doc finally started driving like he thought he was capable. “USAC has treated me real good,” Dawson said. “They want to help you. Many officials and drivers come around and volunteer.”
Cy Fairchild, a relative newcomer to USAC from Saginaw, Mich., has been a key factor in Doc’s improvement. “"Fairchild has helped me quite a bit on the pavement,” he explained. “He’s given me a lot of tips. I’d never driven a four-bar torsion car; he’s given me pointers on how the car works.”
Doc’s had a harder time adjusting to USAC since most of his experience has come on dirt tracks, while 70 to 80 per cent of the sprint races are run on asphalt. “I've had to learn to drive pavement,” he stated. “The banked tracks are pretty easy, but on a flat track like New Bremen is where experience shows.”
“On dirt you can make mistakes and get your car back; but on pavement if you get too far out of shape, you start sliding and there’s not much you can do.”
Dawson has also gotten considerable help from his car owner Gus Hoffman of Cincinnati.
“Gus has been racing USAC for quite awhile,” he said. “He gave Bud Tinglestad his first ride.”
“He knows how to set up the car for the different tracks, and that helps. A guy really needs this, especially someone who lacks experience.”
But once the Lima, Ohio chauffeur settled down, he’s become really excited over his move to USAC.
“Once you’ve run two or three shows,” he said, “you know it’s the type of racing you should be in. The biggest difference between USAC and the modified ranks is the quality of drivers and equipment,” he said.
“In the modifieds, there are maybe six or eight good drivers and cars in a race, but in USAC all 20 are good drivers with good equipment and anyone is capable of winning.”
“They don't make many mistakes, and most of them are not their fault. Usually, it’s something mechanical that goes wrong to cause trouble. If you’re following someone, you don't have to worry about him and looping it out.”
Doc has also learned in his brief USAC career that qualifying is important part of the game since none of the heat races are inverted and only the first six places of the feature are switched around.
“If you are up at the front,” he explained, “you can concentrate on making the car go. You can just turn it loose because you worry about passing and traffic.
“I’ve always been told that it’s easy to catch a guy,” Doc chuckled, “but it’s something different to pass him.”
“I’ve also learned that in USAC, if you're going to win, you have to go hard the whole race. In modifieds you can often get out to a lead and slack up for a few laps, but not here, all 20 cars starting a race are capable of winning.”
Doc, of course, has some plans mapped out for the future. He hopes to pick up enough experience in the sprints to land a ride on the USAC championship circuit. “I'd like to try to stay with USAC and then get a championship ride,” Dawson said. “And then someday go on to Indianapolis.”
Doc would like to land a champ ride next year, but he realizes that is a difficult length of time. But Doc will not be in any hurry for he knows that he needs a bit more experience before he will become a competitive and consistent driver. He further knows that this takes time.
It has taken him-more than five years to get as far as he is today. “I just hope to keep improving and advancing,” he added, “and maybe someday I’ll be good enough to make a living driving a racecar.”
Race car drivers with the ability and desire that Doc has don’t come along very often. With a little bit of luck, he’s going to be earning that living driving a race car in the very near future.

`This was not just some minor hazing incident´: Sentencing begins for 3 teens convicted in St. Michael´s College School sex assaults
(The Star Movies)
A former St. Michael’s College School student who was sexually assaulted by his schoolmates last fall could not bring himself to write his own victim impact statement because he is unable to relive what happened.Instead, his parents submitted a statement, read in court by Crown prosecutor Erin McNamara Thursday afternoon on the first day of sentencing for three former St. Michael’s students who pled guilty to sexually assaulting the victim with a weapon.The parents described feeling “helpless” and fearing their son will be affected by this for the rest of his life. “This was not just some minor hazing incident,” they said.Their son feels he carries a stigma, and they have to carry this burden alone as they try to move forward, they said. The other victim chose not to submit a victim impact statement, but McNamara said the psychological effects on him have also been serious.The Crown is seeking jail time for the three youths who have pled guilty to sexual assault with a weapon and assault with a weapon in connection with two separate incidents involving two different victims. One of the teens also pled guilty to making child pornography for filming the sexual assault on a cellphone.For two of the teens the Crown asked for a sentence of 12 to 15 months in custody followed by 18 months probation and for one, 10 to 12 months in jail followed by 18 months of probation.Defence lawyers are seeking a sentence of 24 months of probation for all three teens.An agreed statement of facts has described two sexual assaults and an assault involving a group of teens using a broomstick in a locker room at the school during the fall of 2018.The Crown said it could not be proven which teen wielded the broomstick in one of the sexual assaults, which is why the three youths pled guilty to assault with a weapon in connection with that incident.No pleas were entered in connection with the non-sexual assault.All three incidents involved members of a f ...

Meaning : Son Of Robin, Son of Robin,
Origin : English,
Robinson Expression, Robinson Soul Urge, Robinson Inner Dream
Numerology information Robinson:
Additional information Robinson:
From a popular surname. "Robinson Crusoe," novel by Daniel Defoe. Robinson Cano, baseball player.
Definition funny of Robinson:
Robinson is a name that only a select few can carry. There are hundreds of conditions that must be met before one can claim Robinson as a last name. Among these are.. 1. the ability to be awesome regardless of the situation 2. the ability to not give a fuck about what everyone is bitching about. In fact, a true Robinson will tell people to just shut the fuck up and to stop acting like bitches. 3. must be able to stand back and get the ladies without even trying while everyone else humiliates themselves 4. must be able to beat up frat kids two or three times their size and must also posses a zero tolerance policy towards popped collars and/or pink polos. 5. must be adored and worshiped everywhere they go, regardless of whether or not the adoring worshipers will admit it. Robinson sightings have been confirmed on all continents, but are most commonly found in the United States, Germany and Ireland.
Person 1: Holy shit, look at how awesome that dude is! It looks like he's not even trying! Person 2: Yeah, word around the campfire is that he's a Robinson. Person 1: Okay, it all makes sense now.
A person who displays and invokes a sense of confidence and ability to handle ones self or problem. Comes across as very humble, nonjudgmental and quiet - yet very concise and logical when they do respond. Responses typically include a well placed question or short remark that when answered or acknowledged can solve or diffuse a problem. Sometimes a response, although limited, is meant to drive a conversation further so as to allow the person to solve or diffuse the problem themselves. Often confused with being cocky, arrogant, disinterested or a know-it-all. Those who think so are traditionally quick to discover, however, that this is not (quite) the case and experience an "a-ha" moment when their thoughts and reality later intertwine.
"That guy is totally Robinson!" --------- P1: How should I handle this idiot? P2: I'd give you my 2 cents, but I think you should ask Robinson. --------- P2: Robinson, can I ask you what you think of something? Robinson: Hey. P2: Umm… ( Goes on with some long explanation) Robinson: (Butts in) That's not how you should go about doing that! P2: ( Has a long defensive explanation why they should ) Robinson: ( Stares intently into the distance but says nothing ) P2: ( Continues talking... ) Robinson: ( Finally speaks up and says ) Yeah… You shouldn't do that. You are just causing problems for yourself. Total waste of time and energy. P2: What!? Excuse me?! This idiot is causing the problems! Robinson: Well - I don't really care about "this idiot". Why do you care about "this idiot"? P2: Because (blah blah blah blah) Robinson: I still don't care and based on what you just said you shouldn't either. P2: Yeah, ok ( in their head they think "Whatever" ) --------- P2: ( Talks a few minutes later to P1) I talked to Robinson. P1: And… P2: He doesn't care - he just sat there all quiet for 20 minutes and basically said nothing. P1: What did he say? P2: He said I basically shouldn't care about this and that he doesn't care about "this idiot" either! P1: Really? He said he was an idiot? P2: Yeah. P1: So forget about it then - you're just wasting your time on this fool. P2: OMG! That's exactly what he said! Ah! That makes so much sense now! P1: Ha!

How the New Order Will Achieve Final Victory, Part 2
In Part 1, I reviewed some of the New Order's accomplishments thus far, and I inspired many to cheer. Today, I will explore some of the secrets to the New Order's triumphant future.
Nature abhors a vacuum, and few vacuums are abhorred more than vacuum of power. Prior to the New Order, highsec--despite comprising the majority of EVE's population--never saw a leader who attempted to come to power. Why not? Because no one else thought it could be done. Everyone assumed highsec was a free-for-all, if not a safe zone. But they were wrong.
There is nothing about a highsec system that prohibits it from being influenced, governed, or controlled. Enemies of the government may sneak through without punishment, but that's true of all systems in EVE--as the emptiness of nullsec will attest. And as the New Order has proven, CONCORD does not prevent an organization from using force against those who break the rules. Indeed, the trillions of isk worth of damages that we've inflicted far surpass the damage inflicted by the typical lowsec, nullsec, or wormhole organization.
The typical carebear will object, "But you don't hold sovereignty in highsec. Your name isn't listed in the top corner of the screen." I don't need to remind the intelligent, well-informed EVE player, but I will: The majority of territorial claims in EVE do not correspond to in-game sovereignty. No one who "holds" space in lowsec has sovereignty. You cannot hold sovereignty in any wormhole. Large sections of nullsec are owned by NPCs, according to in-game sovereignty.
It goes further: How many systems does the CFC hold sovereignty in? Or N3? The answer is a grand total of zero. Even though coalitions claim to hold most of nullsec, they cannot hold in-game sovereignty; only alliances can. This is no mere technicality, for the distinction is important. A junior member of a coalition can hold sov, but they will be kicked out in a hurry if they defy the coalition leaders. Last but not least, the renters. Greater Western Co-Prosperity Sphere and Brothers of Tanagra are two of the largest sov-holders in all of EVE. Yet they own no territory. They exist as puppet organizations for the convenience of the CFC and Pandemic Legion, respectively. There are other renter alliances out there, too.
The New Order's non-sov claim of highsec is not only conceivable, it follows the norm. Adding it all up: Lowsec, wormhole space, NPC null, coalitions, and renters, the vast majority of territory claimed in EVE has nothing whatsoever to do with in-game sovereignty. I was the first person to make this realization, but before long, it will be the accepted wisdom among the EVE community.
Still, even if it's possible to own some or all of highsec, who would want to do it? PvP activity in highsec often receives the condemnation of EVE players. The snobbish player looks down upon all things highsec, despite perhaps spending most of his time there on alts. This attitude carries all the way down the chain to the lowest strata of EVE society, the highsec carebear. They say ganking miners is not elite PvP. They say, especially after having been ganked themselves, "Why don't you try fighting someone who can shoot back?"
Fair warning: What I am about to say goes beyond "real talk". It's 200-proof heresy. If you have small children, you might want to have them leave the room. If you are possessed of a weak constitution yourself, you might want to click away now and enjoy one of our other fine MinerBumping posts.
The fact is, ganking carebears who can't shoot back is elite PvP. Indeed, it's one of the higher forms of elite PvP. Because nearly all "elite PvP" in EVE involves shooting people who can't shoot back. People just don't know it. It is forbidden knowledge. Let me give you a few examples.
The supercapital/capital fleet of N3/PL is the largest collection of caps and supercaps in EVE. No other organization can match it. Many would consider them to be the most elite PvP'ers in the game. They certainly think so. Surely, if anyone engages in elite PvP, they do.
Recently, one of the biggest battles in EVE history took place in the HED-GP system. There were so many people jammed into one system that the server failed. It didn't kick everyone out of the system, though. Instead, the game remained playable (barely) for the N3/PL fleet, while the vast fleet of capital ships from the Russian bloc and the CFC were rendered inoperable when they jumped into the system. When one side of a battle is frozen due to server issues while the other side can attack, it is known as a "turkey-shoot". Over the course of several hours in ti-di, the N3/PL fleet massacred the RUS/CFC fleet, who couldn't react. Hundreds of billions of isk worth of damage were inflicted, and strategically, the balance of power tilted in N3/PL's favor.
By now you might have guessed the reason I related this story: The group considered to be the most elite PvP'ers in the game won the battle by shooting people who couldn't shoot back. At least a miner can launch a few aggressive drones. One might object that the N3/PL fleet doesn't win all of its battles this way. However, the example is telling because N3/PL were no less pleased by their HED-GP victory than any other. Nor was their reputation for being elite PvP'ers diminished in any way; if anything, it was enhanced. This proves that people don't really care whether the loser of a battle could shoot back.
Another example, this one from further back in time, just to show you that nothing has changed: The Band of Brothers. N3/PL are far from the first to benefit from a turkey-shoot. BoB was the master of turkey-shoots. Back in the day, the servers were much different, and only one or two hundred pilots could be enough to crash a node. These crashes affected players very differently, depending on how far away a player was from CCP's server (in the UK). For various reasons, BoB had a British-heavy membership, and this translated into an enormous benefit when laggy conditions arose. As a result, they won a large number of turkey-shoots.
I was personally present for many of these turkey-shoots. Onlookers viewing battle reports were amazed to see BoB consistently wipe out enemy fleets (such as ASCN) while suffering no losses. This wasn't due to logistics or spider-tanking, since at the time remote-repping doctrines were not used. Rather, BoB fleets won because they were shooting large numbers of enemies who couldn't shoot back. Every major battle in the ASCN war involved laggy conditions in which the ASCN was utterly destroyed, often without inflicting even a single loss against BoB.
The result? BoB built an empire on turkey-shoots. BoB was perceived--before the t20 scandal, that is--as the most elite group of PvP'ers in EVE. Yet their enemies had no greater ability to shoot back than an AFK miner.
The small-gang PvP'ers may scoff at all of this big fleet nonsense. "Forget the F1 monkeys," they say, "The truly elite PvP'ers are in small gangs. We don't gain our reputations by shooting people who can't shoot back." But they do. Small-gang PvP'ers tend to kill their enemies by catching them one at a time, at gates. If their victims have a chance to shoot back, it's cut short from the moment the ECM hits. Small gangs pack as many ECM mods onto their hulls as possible, because they prefer to kill people who can't shoot back.
And the solo PvP'ers, the cream of the crop? They interpret "solo" in the broadest possible sense. To them, "solo" means, roughly, "not solo". They bring along a Falcon alt, so they can jam their enemies and shoot them while they can't shoot back.
It's true that battles take place in which both sides can shoot at each other. However, it's equally true that in many, many cases, elite PvP'ers rack up kills by shooting people who can't shoot back. What's important is that no one makes any effort to draw a distinction. People do not dismiss, disqualify, or separately categorize the kills they got when an enemy was defenseless. They don't sort between such battles on their killboards; they take their killboards as a whole. Whether a target was jammed or not, whether a target was lagged out or not, a kill is treated as a kill. As long as the victim wasn't a miner, that is. In that case, it doesn't count. Even though the miner is no less capable of shooting back.
If we are honest, then, we see that it doesn't matter whether a target can shoot back or not. Highsec gankers and "elite" PvP'ers are no different, except that highsec gankers are more efficient.
I warned you this would get heretical.
Then we come to those who concede that power and influence may be exercised in highsec, against carebears, but who believe it's bad for the game and CCP. They say new players must be guarded under a warm blanket of protection until they get a certain amount of money and skillpoints. If not, CCP will go bankrupt. And just to make sure no newbies are hit in the crossfire, we must protect everyone who does carebearing in highsec, no matter how old or flush with isk.
I have made no secret of the fact that I don't care about CCP's finances. To some, this makes me a villain or a madman. But in any other video game in the world, my attitude on this subject wouldn't set me apart in the least. In no other game do you see players making arguments for balance or game mechanics based on how it affects the video game company's bottom line. No one ever says "nerf this" or "buff that" because EA can boost its profits from one change or another. No one is kept awake at night because Blizzard or Microsoft or Sony or Nintendo is challenging new players too much. Only CCP's financial situation is given such sympathy by gamers, and only when it comes to a discussion about EVE and highsec.
You're not reading all those other players' blogs, though; you're reading my blog. So let me tell you what my opinion is. No, I don't think highsec should be made into a theme park so CCP can make more money. Not even if EVE's membership numbers become stagnant, or go into decline, or even if CCP faces bankruptcy.
If CCP didn't want to go bankrupt, then they shouldn't have developed Dust 514 and World of Darkness.

* James 315 returns to the stage after an appropriate interval and resumes speaking into microphone.
Let's be honest. It's MinerBumping, so we can do that here. We all knew Dust was going to be a bust. The FPS market is saturated and demands high quality. Dust was made by the people who couldn't get walking in stations right. Obviously it wasn't going to be anything special. The EVE integration that was supposed to set it apart? It was a non-factor. Earning an NPC artillery strike after racking up a certain number of kills is something that a lot of FPS's were doing long before Dust, and it didn't add anything that an EVE player was the one activating the strike. There were a host of other issues with Dust, but they all arose from the fact that it was never going to be anything special. As for World of Darkness, no one cares.
Also, the name. "Dust 315" I could get behind. But "Dust 514" is the blandest possible name you could ever give a game. I don't know who came up with that name, but apparently he holds a position of extraordinary influence at CCP.
Long story short, those who create emergent gameplay in highsec ought never to be blamed for any financial troubles CCP has or may have in the future. Nor should EVE, really. That can all be put on Dust 514 and World of Darkness.
In conclusion, all of the arguments against a player-controlled highsec, fail.
But can the New Order really reign supreme across all of highsec? How can we do such a thing? Find out next time, in the conclusion.

It's worse than that. When EA makes a move that is clearly there to do nothing but boost their profits, people complain.
As for the Dust 514, it released on May 14. So someone thought they were being clever by releasing it on that date, even if it wasn't ready. Even though releasing early and getting the Dust economy established just made it harder for CCP to link the Dust and Eve economies.
Von Keigai January 22, 2014 at 9:48 PM
Ganking is not elite PVP. I don't really see that the "eliteness" of the NO is relevant to anything. The answer to "Why don't you try fighting someone who can shoot back?" is not "cuz I'm 'leet". It is: because I don't want to. Fair fights are antithetical to enforcing the law. They raise the expenses of doing so, with no gain in effectiveness (indeed, much loss). Do you ever see police put away their guns so as to have a fair fist fight with some tattooed freak? No. Because they are not trying for "elite fighter" status. They are trying to enforce the law with the absolute minimum risk to themselves.
The important point is your distinction between "sovereignty", the rather stupid EVE game mechanic, and sovereignty, the real world concept. You are sovereign because you wield force. You wield force because the game mechanics applying in highsec allow you to strike people with impunity. "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun."

It is from their foes, not their friends, that cities learn the lesson of building high walls. Since Von Keigai started it, let's all share wise Spock quotes from Civ 4 (yes I realize they are historical quotes, but I like hearing Spock say them)
"I fooled you! I fooled you! I got pig iron! I got pig iron! I got all pig iron!"
"I don't really see that the "eliteness" of the NO is relevant to anything."
Yes, you totally missed the point, but at least you recognize it.
I won't call that "elite pvp", I'll call that "carebear pvp"...oups.

TALK.
Bravo James 315, Bravo Sir!
- Guybertini
Here's hoping Part 3 can out-do Part 2 by having no less than three pictures of The Savior embedded in the text.
James 315 strips away from the carebear and his/her supporters the dainty veil of respectability and self-righteousness, to reveal the horror of the true face of the Highsec Miner. A Cowardly, complaining, cringing face.
I didn't understand all the references to Sovereignty and governance, I must admit. But it's clear to me that if the Supreme Protector can create - yes, create - an entirely new playing-style for one of the most popular and challenging MMORPGs in existence, then he can certainly create a new form of rule for Highsec. Previous models are hereby rendered redundant. The CODE. prevails.
Of course the New Order's Knights are engaged in Elite PvP. The Saviour's argument about the pervasiveness of the 'can't shoot back' element is unassailable, for it is the truth. But it goes further than this. The term 'Elite' also embraces the knowledge and skill of the pilot in preparing and executing the gank, as evidenced in James 315's 'Thrashing and Vexing' post recently, and elsewhere.
As robust a rebuttal of the Carebear position as we are ever likely to see.
Hail James 315, Supreme Protector, Saviour of all Highsec!
Alistair Drake January 22, 2014 at 11:49 PM
"To be continued..."
Aww, come on James, you're killing me!!
Another way to say this heresy is to call it tactics, seriously, this is used by even militaries around the world with weapon systems most people won't see until the weapon itself strikes. Anyway, that's my two cents.
---Friendly Neighborhood Scoundrel.
so basically, james. You would prefer EVE Online crashed and burnt if it got you your own way.
If EVE is so terrible and in sucha state...why keep playing it?

@Anon 11:54 PM
You totally missed the point.
Of course James wants EvE to be successful, which is the whole point of the NO in the first place.
But hoping it remains successful and being responsible for the finances of the company behind it are two totally different things. Players aren't responsible for managing CCPs financial position. CCP are.
If anything, in the longer term the Code will help CCPs financial position. If all of Highsec follows the Code and all people in highsec are actually playing the game while logged in, the interactivity will increase, the willingness of players to take an active role in pvp in highsec will increase, the sense of one large community will increase. If that happens, the reputation of the game outside the player base will also increase, which will attract increased numbers and importantly, increase player retention. Win, win all around, including CCPs finances (without even worrying about them as a player).
Elite PvP. You are so delusional. I really hope you aren't allowed near sharp objects. There are PvP'ers in the NO who are outstanding at PvP (Bing comes to mind). But the the minions you expect to carry out your vision will never be in numbers sufficient to hold onto more than the handful of systems you extort from now.

Alistair Drake January 23, 2014 at 1:33 AM
^I second that motion. Better give them very distinct names so that CCP can't suspect them for impersonating themselves though.
They will be elite pvpers and elite diplomats - polite, well-spoken and articulate killing machines.
Candidate names will be:
Bing BangBang
Bing BangBong
Bing BangZoom
Bing BingBing
and so forth...
where i agree is that I have yet to meet an EVE PVP player that is elite.
I have to admit to being on the edge of my seat here for part 3. Great late-night reading as always.
Rennseslear January 23, 2014 at 7:32 AM
--Spare the rod, spoil the child.
We would NEVER allow highsec to destroy itself through its own ignorance and petty greed!
--you cant always get what you want, but if you try some time, you just might find, you get what you need.
there is no more begging for themeparking highsec that will not be met with the most emergent gameplay Eve has seen in past years. highsec NEEDS James 315!!
just reading part 2, i could not have described the way i feel any better if i had written it myself.
im starting to think i might REALLY BE a James 315 alt, like something out of fight club (without all the bruises and soap) bring on part 3!
I DO care about World of Darkness so at least one people care :D Think at how refreshing it could be to have a non-sci-fi MMO with the same sandbox standards than Eve. That would be a revolution on the current market in my opinion.
About Dust 514, you forgot to mention that we knew it was doomed also because it was sticking to PS3, which, in addition to be a console fps ignoring the PC playerbase, is also a DYING console.
I mine and I could shoot back with my drones or watch my miners with a battleship. But I don't have time for that. I just minimize my screen while I go do other things. You New order peple just need to leve us alone to mine in piece. youre all like 12 or something and need to get lifes. I will never pay for a permit no matter how many ships you blow up. I mine the ore for free anyway and will just make more ships, so i not lose anything. hitler would be proud of u, but good always prevales. so i say to you, keep on coming to get me hahaha
SollyLama January 23, 2014 at 5:02 PM
how many miner bingo squares did we just get here???
We need to add a block for:
"pre-teen levels of grammar and spelling"
Bonus points if it's ALSO involving the other blocks (12 year old, I don't care if you blow me up.....)
Dear Anon 4:03.
I have to ask. I fail to see the logic of why do you bother 'playing' EvE, if you appear to derive more satisfaction from other activities not EvE related whilst logged in?
@guybertini
I don't see it either but I don't give a damn.
And I wonder why you do.
If ANON 4:03 is happy with that and pays for the game, all is fine for me.
What defines Elite PvP is being able to recognize and capitalize on an enemy's weakness. There is no such thing as a fair fight, and it's childish to think so. Those with winning killboards get there by knowing how to stack the odds in their favor, not by some idiotic sense of E-Honor. A fight is won or lost before the first missile launches, the first autocannon barks to life.
The sheer level of small mindedness from care bears is stunning. Focus on NO as if what we do is exclusive to a few players. Minerbumping.com is a TUTORIAL.
One of the most comprehensive ever made for Eve Online- from skills, ships, fittings, tactics, and organization...this is a DIY kit for high sec extortion rackets.
What should keep miners up at night is not a few RP'ers having a laugh, but that ANYONE can extort miners on a whim. Other miners can rid themselves of competition with a week old alt. Killing miners, taking their money- is something anyone can do. No RP needed.
We're teaching all of Eve, every bored miner, every pirate wannabe, every newb that didn't join an MMO to play alone....exactly how to turn high sec into a cash cow by good old fashion extortion. It's easier money than....mining.
Howl about the fun we have in local...but we're not doing this for US.....we're doing it so everyone in Eve can milk miners like the cattle they are. Cheers.
i dont agree to mostly of this things written above.
1. Show me a player that joins EVE for "just / only " mining (iam not talking about these double tripple accounts or the 3rd char of 1st account)?
2. Since PLEX is tradeable lot of people Redeem their plex and sell it, before that was possible it was hard to get isk. CCP earn huge amount of money with that system.
3. Maths: Your alliance + all your followers will be at max. (current status) less than 250(not including chars of 1 account as same double or triple accounts). Usually miners in a High sec system 24/7 0-50. And only a minority uses a weak ship. There will be always people that are gankable but its just impossible with that low number of members.
4. Lets talk about elite PvP: usually NO Retriever could be a victim of a single ganker. 2Acolyte T2 + 2 Warrior T2 + 1 ecm Drone, Med Slot ECM. Not a victim! It would cost at minimum 2 catalysts to shot him down. Even a 3rd one if the ecm released on the 2nd attacker but its tricky to be fast. So a true elite miner with retriever would cost you 3 cats. No miner does so, cause theyre stupid. But that means youre not strong you just use their stupidness.
4. Community: Usually i would say that if miners in a single system would form a "limited mining alliance" --> just for the time theyre mining. No gank posible. lets make an example 1 Orca, 6 Retreiver 3 Procurer. To shot 1 Retriever it would cost you a fleet of 5-6 Cat or it is simply impossible. Please take a look into ICE belts! No agents inside ice belts no shots. Why no one is doing so? Stupid people doesnt use open chat or have the fear to do or doesnt know that its possible or simply to stupid to do so.....
" Lets talk about elite PvP: usually NO Retriever could be a victim of a single ganker. 2Acolyte T2 + 2 Warrior T2 + 1 ecm Drone, Med Slot ECM."
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.... oh, you're serious? Let me laugh even harder.
Did you just start playing yesterday or something? Because really, if you've been playing for more than a week, you should be able to tell me EVERYTHING that's wrong about that setup. Please, post your lossmail when reality happens.
Danks January 23, 2014 at 6:48 PM
Real Talk, Best Talk.
Really James 315 that's your character a stupid play on john 3:15 of the king James bible and your calling yourself a savior. I thought I had no life and spent too much time on eve but you make me feel so much better about myself and i must thank you for that. But when you think about it this is kinda a funny cult following a false prophet you even make your followers pay to engage in actions that are just part of the game. I am curious why the fee anyway if you want some of the profit from mining then do it yourself. Anyway I cant wait to laugh at more of your ideas for a fake area of a fake galaxy.

As someone who likes to remain relevant to society and understand the pressure society faces I always remind myself that the best work isn’t undertaken in an office but at grass roots. It’s important to me to remain in touch with frontline activities and in doing so I like to remind the team that none of us would be employed if someone hadn’t given us a chance. Our duty and responsibility is to recognise that inside every person is an achiever – someone who can succeed and be proud of themselves. Our challenge is to provide the same commitment, belief and dedication as has been shown to us and to provide others with the same possibility to achieve and succeed.
I am passionate about helping people develop and change having worked in Training and Education for over 30 years. I have worked for a wide variety of organisations including: Colleges of further education, commercial and private companies, local authorities and the third sector. My role in this project is to recruit across West Norfolk and enable participants through contacts, partners and colleagues to achieve realistic goals and move on in their lives. I am based at The Crossing with Access Community Trust on Tanner Street, Thetford.

Cathay Pacific unveils First Class product with fresh new look
By Lauren Brunetti
Cathay Pacific Airways today unveiled its newly refreshed First Class product which features a significant enhancement to the cabin’s look and feel along with the introduction of a number of new features.
“Our award-winning First Class suite has been very popular with passengers since it was introduced in 2007. Given its popularity we saw no pressing need to completely replace the product. However, we decided it was appropriate to give the suites a fresh new look and make a few changes that will enhance the overall experience for our premium passengers. This underlines our commitment to excellence in providing an exceptional travel experience for our customers," said Cathay Pacific's General Product Manager, Toby Smith in a recent media release.
“To offer our First Class passenger a more harmonious experience throughout their journey – from ground to the air - we appointed London-based architects Foster + Partners, the same designer of the First Class Lounge of The Wing, to bring elements of the lounge’s design into the First Class cabin,” Smith added.
A highly glossy dark grey textured material is featured on the outer surface of the suite, while warm-tone natural leather is used extensively on most interior surfaces for a luxurious feel and soft touch. The new side console and the interior of the suite are all wrapped in natural leather, with subtle linings, refined stitching and fewer panels for a more clean and sophisticated look. Leather pads with subtle stitching are also introduced on latches to provide a softer touch. The seat fabric is custom-made with a specially selected combination of materials that is soft and smooth to touch.
Complementing the new design and adding an element of interest to the cabin, hand-crafted sculptural artworks have been installed. These individual artworks, made of copper and steel and created by Maria Lobo and Linda Leviton, have been individually etched and painted by hand, with a harmonious colour palette.
Input from Marco Polo Club members was also incorporated to improve certain details of the product, including a more adjustable meal table, more room in the personal closet and additional space inside the console compartment for personal items such as phones and glasses. A drink holder is introduced on the new side console top to prevent cups and glasses slipping during turbulence. In the lavatory, a specially designed new wash basin and counter top have been installed that will provide a refreshing environment.
Other new and enhanced features of the rejuvenated suites include a new 4.3” LCD touch screen controller, which allows passengers to easily recline the seat, adjust lumbar support and turn lights on or off with just a simple touch. New reading lights have been tailor-made to enhance their utility, with brightness adjustable to five levels via the controller along with an independent on/off switch. The rotation of the lights is more flexible with a wider angle. These factors combine to ensure that passengers can enjoy more comfortable lighting with fewer shadows cast when reading, writing and dining in any seating position.
Passengers’ enjoyment of movies and music will be greatly enhanced by the new BOSE QuietComfort® 15 Acoustic Noise Cancelling® headphones which feature superb comfort and sound quality. Each suite is equipped with a multi-port connector which includes an iPhone/iPod connector and a USB port. The iPhone/iPod connector allows passengers to connect their own devices and watch video through their personal television. The USB port can be used to charge devices such as mobile phones.
Understanding that sleep quality is particularly important for passengers travelling on long-haul flights, all the First Class bedding has been redesigned and improved, employing exceptionally high-quality materials with 500 thread count cotton fabrics for the duvets, pillows, cushions and bed mattress, giving a refined and soft touch. The thickness of the mattress has also been increased to enhance sleeping comfort. For the ultimate in slumber comfort, a new sleep suit, made with 100% organic cotton and designed by “PYE”, a premium home-grown brand from Hong Kong, will be offered.
While male passengers will be offered amenity kits in an Ermenegildo Zegna black pouch, female passengers will be provided with a new Trussardi amenity bag in complementary colours, featuring Aesop as the exclusive skincare and toiletries brand for the First Class cabin.
The first Boeing 777-300ER aircraft with the upgraded First Class is due to enter service on 26 July 2013 and the entire cabin refresh project is scheduled to be completed by the third quarter of 2014. The First Class cabins in Cathay Pacific’s Boeing 747-400 aircraft are not included in the upgrade project as the fleet is in the process of being retired.

People For the American Way Foundation
PFAW Foundation Invites Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn to Debate Arts Censorship and Religious Freedom
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: November 18, 2011
Contact: Miranda Blue or Justin Greenberg at People For the American Way
People For the American Way Foundation President Michael Keegan has invited Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn to a
public debate on arts censorship and religious liberty in light of the controversy over a new exhibit at the Brooklyn Museum.
The Brooklyn Museum has come under fire from the Diocese and from some Republican elected officials for hosting “Hide/Seek,” the exhibit that was
censored by Smithsonian officials after it opened at the National Portrait Gallery last year. Criticism from the Right has centered on A Fire in My Belly, a compilation of video works by the late artist David Wojnarowicz, which features a few seconds depicting ants crawling on a
crucifix. That work was pulled from the Smithsonian show after an outcry from far right groups and congressional Republican leaders.
In a letter sent yesterday to Bishop DiMarzio, Keegan writes that a public forum on the Brooklyn Museum’s decision to show the “Hide/Seek” exhibit
would be “an informative way to address our differences on the issues of religious tolerance and artistic freedom, and a public service to New
Yorkers.”
The letter is available here
“Religious liberty and religious tolerance are core American values,” said Keegan. “But people can have different views of what it means to respect
religion, especially when it comes to the arts. Our museums are full of art inspired by religious devotion, secular art and art that inspires questions
about religious faith. All of these are important parts of our history and culture, and should not be open to censorship by politicians or religious
organizations.
“Too often our so-called ‘culture war’ debates have been driven by prejudice and misunderstanding. I would look forward to meeting with the Roman
Catholic Diocese of Brooklyn face to face and engaging in an open an candid public discussion about the role of religious liberty and artistic freedom
in our democracy. Art that provokes controversy should inspire conversation and dialogue, not censorship.”
Keegan discusses the issue further in
a piece published today in the Huffington Post

A drunk man squares up to an MMA fighter and it ends just how you think it would
Antonio J. Rodríguez
When you think you're Rocky and you end up eating pavement
It's not always the best idea to provoke someone when you have no follow-through plan. Less so at night. Even less so when you have more whisky than strategy in your brain.
And it's definitely a terrible idea to do all this to a mixed martial arts fighter.
Because you'll probably end up like this:
Nice and warm on the ground and immobilised for your own good. This happened at the exit of a bar in Johnson City, Tennessee. The victim? He squared up to a security guard who happened to be John Hernholm, an MMA fighter with a record of 5 wins in his 5 amateur championship fights and one (the only disputed) in the professionals.
Fortunately for all involved, Hernholm didn't intend to cause too much harm with his well-aimed uppercut to the jaw of the perpetrator.

Seats reserved till 6.45pm only.
World-wide along with the extended use of video in both domestic and public environments, in the last decade we have seen the development of different independent and community media projects (not affiliated to media networks). These projects are run by communities (virtual or real) and respond to the beliefs and information needs of individuals not of large corporations. Independent media are becoming important instruments of democratisation, attempting to empower minorities and to challenge media institutions and their links to power structures.
Amongst the different independent media projects video technology is playing an important role. Video technology allows ordinary people to register and report issues and events the big mainstream media corporations do not cover, like the uprising of the Ejercito Zapatista de Liberacion Nacional or Zapatista Nartional Liberation Army (EZLN) on 1 January 1994.
Thanks to the auspices of the Pro medios de Comunicacion Comunitaria, also known as the Chiapas Media Project, indigenous Zapatistas in Chiapas and peasants in Guerrero, Mexico, have been able to learn how to use the video camera as a key weapon in their struggles for recognition and self-determination.
The Chiapas Media Project is a collective media project that provides training and tools for indigenous peoples and peasants to produce their own videos. What makes the experience of the Chiapas Media Project unique is that it works with indigenous peoples and peasants. It has given them the training and equipment to become independent video-makers, to be able to self-represent and create their own audiovisual messages about who they are what are they fighting for, and what are they accomplishing in their struggle.
Claudia Magallanes-Blanco from the University of Western Sydney will discuss her work ‘Video technology, an empowering tool world-wide – Video activism and the Chiapas Media Project’ and introduce Alexandra Halkin, Founding Director of the Chiapas Media Project.
Alexandra will present CMP’s videos and discuss the role of indigenous and campesino produced alternative media in the context of the current political situations in Chiapas and Guerrero. She will also tell us about a new CMP media center recently funded by the MacArthur Foundation that will document human rights violations in the “montana” region of Guerrero.
Please tell your friends!
Q & A session follows.
The three of the videos made by the CMP
Zapata’s Garden
(Tzeltal and Spanish w/English subtitles, 2002, 19:13)
Shot and produced by indigenous men and women video makers in the Autonomous Municipality of Emiliano Zapata this video looks at the new society that the Zapatista’s are building. Zapata’s Garden shows how this new municipality is fighting the effects of globalization and government corruption through their work in their collective garden. Community members talk about the importance of collective work in building this new society. “We don’t want things to be as they were before. Now we have land to work, and with it we will feed ourselves and our children”.
We Speak Against Injustice
(Tzeltal and Spanish with English sub-titles, 34:00, 2003)
We Speak Against Injustice follows the Zapatista caravan in March of 2002 that visited 11 cities on the way to Mexico City where the EZLN along with other indigenous groups presented the San Andres Accords to the Mexican Congress. We see what has happened since the Mexican Congress changed the San Andres Accords against the will of indigenous people throughout Mexico and ratified them into the constitution. The second half of the video documents the upsurge in paramilitary violence in Chiapas that began in August 2002. This violence is seen in the context of globalization and pressure that the state and federal government is putting on the Zapatista communities to leave their land so that their natural resources can be sold.
Reclaiming Justice: Guerrero’s Indigenous Community Police
(Spanish with English subtitles, 26:00, 2002)
Reclaiming Justice is the award-winning documentary of 42 Mixteco and Tlapaneco communities in the Costa-Montana region of Guerrero who, faced with injustice and corruption of local authorities, established the Indigenous Community Police (ICP) in 1995. Based on the traditional Indigenous justice system, the ICP is a volunteer organization elected by regional assembly. With the ICP, crime dropped substantially, organized crime has nearly disappeared, and police corruption is nonexistent. Instead of supporting the ICP, state and local governments attacked them publicly and claimed that they function outside the law. Reclaiming Justice gives voice to members of the ICP, demonstrates their success in creating community security, and shows how the ICP restored dignity and pride to Indigenous communities despite opposition by corrupt authorities.

DoNER Ministry moots commercial helicopter service within Northeast to improve intra-regional connectivity
The Minister of State for Development of North Eastern Region (I/C), Prime Ministers Office, Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions, Department of Atomic Energy, Department of Space, Dr. Jitendra Singh holding a meeting with the senior officers of the DoNER Ministry, in New Delhi on October 27, 2015.
The Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER) Ministry has mooted commercial helicopter service within Northeast in order to improve intra-regional connectivity.
At a meeting of senior officers of the Union Ministry for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), Dr Jitendra Singh said that the biggest hurdle in attracting investments, tourism and entrepreneurship in Northeast is the lack of adequate connectivity. Even though the rail network expansion has started on a fast track in the last one year or so. The first – ever rail link to Meghalaya was flagged off by Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi within six months of the taking over of the present government, he said. He also said that most parts still remain unconnected by rail. Similarly, road connectivity also gets adversely affected due to weather conditions, he added. In such a situation, improvement in air connectivity is the only immediate viable option, the Minister said.
Dr Jitendra Singh said that the DoNER Ministry is taking up with the Civil Aviation Ministry, the prospect of developing Guwahati Airport as regional hub for the entire Northeast. The helicopters can be grounded there overnight and can be put to use for commercial sorties for civilian passengers at frequent intervals to different destinations in all the eight states of Northeast. He said that this will give the civilians, the freedom to plan their movement as per their requirement and priority, and not be constrained by the availability of a routine aircraft flight.
Dr Jitendra Singh said that discussion can be held with different helicopter companies like Pawan Hans and issues related to equity can be worked out to the mutual advantage of all. Guwahati Airport is connected by regular flights to a number of destinations including Delhi, Kolkata, Jaipur and Bangalore, and therefore, when regular commercial helicopter service gets initiated, passengers from any part of the country or abroad who land at Guwahati airport by a civil aircraft will have the option to take a connecting helicopter flight to a further destination in the region.
Shri Ameising Luikham, Secretary DoNER and other senior officers of the Ministry were also present.

“More time Need” is state strategy to cheat the world

Min Khant
RB Opinion
In these days, the state counselor’s discussion with several leaders of the world has included the word ‘more time need’ to settle the humanitarian complexity of Rakhine state.
Very noticeably what the government of Myanmar has been applying the dirty method to the world is “need more time” to be vanishing and becoming extinct the internally displaced Rohingyas and Kaman people along Rakhine state after having long-standing suffering in life-threatening dirty camps.
As every person of the world has already known that no sooner had U Thein Sein started gaining the state power through ballot boxes altered way in the year 2010 along the country than the one sided violence led by the Buddhists monks had mushroomed against the Rohingyas, Muslims at large and Christian minority every part of the country, Myanmar.
To brutalize Rakhine Rohingyas Muslims and Muslims all over the country, the State Sanga or ‘Buddhist Monk Association’ had created multi-destructive organizations all over the country.
As soon as, the subordinate groups receive the directions from the head of the Buddhist Bureau, the sub-coordinative forces who involved the local Buddhist communities would not only usually destroy against “the Muslim societies, their Mosques & religious buildings, the residences belong to Muslims, and livelihoods which they have been carrying for their life-savings. In addition, they would successfully burn the properties of Muslims to ashes, killed many innocent people, and left the societies (Buddhists & Muslims) into long-lasting animosity in the regions at the very sight of local authorities that have been under the green light of central government policies.
The starting point of hatred and extreme dislike against Rohingyas and Kaman Muslims of Rakhine were started in 2011 from Taungouk Township, southern Rakhine state. Which has been the famous hillside-loathing township in southern Rakhine state against Islam and Muslim faiths were totally cleansed since 1982 and where the Buddhist hooligans of that township had butchered 11 Muslims in May 2011, along their pilgrim way.
U Thein Sein and its puppet regime was thronged to the power by the U Than Shwe, the former Senior General, who has been the prime architect to play all dirty games to spoil the political system of future Myanmar after hijacking the world longest 13 years of periods to be drafting the deceitful constitution.
The objective of 2008 constitution is to maintain and rest the future power of the state in the hand of the Military who are the faithful dogs to U Than Shwe, who exploits all properties of the country during his reign for him & his entourage. As more, in accord the constitution, he wanted to be forgiven or exempted from crimes that he and his associates had committed against the entire democratic minded Myanmar people who may one day grab the state power and be able to punish the previous criminals.
However, the antagonistic and hostile publics have been crying out in regards Rohingyas whom they have foolishly accused as immigrants from neighboring Bangladesh. The former President U Thein Sein and the Immigration minister U Khin Ye have made clear to the public about the Rohingyas (Muslims) that there are no Muslims illegally immigrated in Rakhine state as accused by the Buddhist Monks, Rakhine people and many political parties.
What the consecutive governments could not and the current regime cannot do is: “they haven’t been controlled, taken action in accord the prevailing rules but they have been exempted from taking action to commit more crimes having opportunities as immunity.”
Since June 2012, day in day out, entire Rakhine public, political parties, administrative staffers, police department, military battalion have joined to annihilate Rohingyas Muslims and Kaman people from Arakan state. Many Rohingyas and Kaman were herded to outside the townships and they were forever displaced in their localities and since then they have to live in squalid camps, which are out of condition and unsafe to be alive in there as Human. The effected Rohingyas and Kaman people are from Sittwe township, Pauktaw township, Myaybone township, Kyaukpyu township, Yaan Byay (Kyauk Nimaw, a helmet) township, Kyauktaw township, Rathedaung Township, and Mrauk Oo township.
The displaced, hopeless, and frustrated people have been restricted their regular flow of basic humanities from outside by the Rakhine extremists who are led by animal doctor Aye Maung, the chair of Arakan National Party, and nowadays the whole Rakhine people are under the trend of ANP party.
There have been constant local and international dignitaries’ regular visits to Rakhine state to meet the local monk leaders, public leaders, political figures, and regional authorities to settle the issue, rehabilitating the displaced Rohingyas to their original places but it has never come into reality. Rakhine leaders and that of the public occasional rhetoric statements have been either to drive out the Rohingyas and Kaman from Rakhine state or to force them to agree to accept the NVC cards which is the intentional disenfranchisement.
Visibly, all these unacceptable political drive against Muslims of Rakhine were adopted by the central government as the state political tool to please Rakhine Buddhists in the one hand and to be frustrating and disappointing the existing Muslims in Rakhine state from the other.
There are some NGOs who take responsibilities to mediate among the factional people in Rakhine state to come to a harmonious settlement, but those NGOs attempts have been failure to get fruitful results, settling the issue for harmonious and peaceful co-existence side by side between two large communities, Rakhine Buddhist and Muslims Rohingyas. Rakhine families and societies are almost pessimistic.
The central and Rakhine state governments have reasoned the world body, saying they need a space, more time, which no one knows how many years they will keep the people in IDP camps and what happens to them in these squalid camps.
Government demands to show identity by the refugees, to verify as the citizens of Myanmar, who are in amount more than 600,000 in Bangladesh to be repatriated again through the trilateral consensus among Myanmar, Bangladesh, and the United Nations. THAT attitude of Myanmar regime is a blatant cynicism to accept properly those refugees, while many of them could not show the identities wanted by Myanmar government. The government’s inner crookedness and lack of honesty has clearly been shown to the world that it does not want to allow the refugees and resettle to their original locations as per the demand of world community.
Seemingly, the current regime initiative is many of whom, the current Rohingyas generation, who have already run away to Bangladesh and be repatriated, were never ever handed the Myanmar citizenry identities though their parents and grandparents may show, and majority will never be able to show the documents, proving the citizens of Myanmar.
In reality, the current regime, led by noble laureate neither Daw Aung San Suu Kyi nor none of the former high-ranking officials has been honest on Rohingyas issues. They are all birds of the same flock feather together in the issue of Rohingyas, and there is nothing to keep trust on Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, while she is not an honorable archetype but a modern day chicanery liar as well as enormous killer.
Do people of the world realize what the government policy has been on Rohingyas and Kaman Muslims? The entire Rohingyas and Kaman have been the citizens of the nation. No single person is neither foreigner nor second-class citizens such as; naturalized citizens, temporary citizens and associated citizens in Rakhine state. They are all either NRC (National Registration Card) holders or somehow a few Pink (National Scrutiny Card) cardholders. What is wrong with the government?
Do all they (Myanmar officials) become a crowd of fool governing body? Nowadays, overall Myanmar governing body becomes in accord English saying: “There’s none so deaf as those who will not hear.” Meaning Myanmar regime has been treating the issue of Rohingya as VERY UNIMPORTANT.
As the world community’s not as much enthusiasm in the Rohingya issue, Myanmar regime has adopted a SCHEME of “the more the government demands extra time to be settling the issue, and then the world agrees on this wicked tactic, so possibly the number of displaced people would leave from the camps after having unbearable & miscellaneous sufferings in the camps”. Need more time political ploy has been the depopulation and extinction of ROHINGYA and KAMAN people in Arakan state.
Right now after understanding all the heinous plot of Myanmar regime against Rohingyas, not only the state of Bangladesh but also the world Body should not hurriedly agree by any mean to repatriate the Rohingyas refugees to avoid next coming plots of Myanmar in future.
While Myanmar is a hostile, aggressive, and unsympathetic nation and that of the majority are pessimistic against the repatriation of Rohingyas to their native land, then the world community should bond firmly that Myanmar government fully accepts upon the world demand to fulfill the standing important procedures to be implemented before Rohingyas to be repatriated to Myanmar again.

How Teaching Journalism Has Changed In The Trump Era
By Chelsea Cristene
What happens when the citizens of one nation inhabit two opposing realities?
I went through a pretty substantial identity crisis when I left teaching. Six months into my new full-time job, I had health insurance, sick leave, and an apartment where I was proud to host parties. But, without my students there to greet me every day, loneliness soon settled like a weight in my stomach. At times I fantasized about the phone ringing with one of my former schools on the line. They’d tell me they wanted me back, and I’d take the underemployment just to feel like myself again.
So when the communications department chair from the college down the road called to offer me a night class, I met her mere days later with course materials in tow. Armed with a new syllabus template and textbook, I got to work revising old lesson plans and gradually — assuredly — felt my sense of purpose returning.
But on the first day of class, my nerves threatened to disable me. Sweat trickled down the backs of my thighs. I hadn’t been at the front of a classroom in nearly two years. Could I do this?
And there was something else.
Looking out at the fifteen sets of eyes meeting mine, I realized that not only did I know nothing about them: I didn’t know what they thought of Trump.
This was never a question before. In the spring of 2015, when I’d last taught, Donald Trump had nothing to do with the political and journalistic context that framed our discussions. He was a fraudulent businessman and obnoxious reality TV star as dismissible as the frayed Scotch-Brite pad on his head. Now, after his presidential campaign and wholly unexpected win, standard mass communication concepts have been turned upside down.
Most of the students in this class are my age or older, which thankfully helped me find my footing. Like me, they remember a time when the number of cable news channels was a fraction of what it is today. CNN didn’t arrive until the 1980s; both Fox News and MSNBC made their debut in 1996 before many current college students were born. When news like the OJ Simpson Bronco chase or the attack on skater Nancy Kerrigan broke, we were all more or less watching the same coverage. When a reporter or journalist knowingly fabricated a story, as Washington Post writer Janet Cooke famously did in the 1980s with her Pulitzer Prize-winning feature, “Jimmy’s World,” they faced severe consequences and lost all credibility.
The Information Age has brought about a journalistic sea-change: if you can dream it, you can post it online in little time and with little difficulty – and with platforms like Medium, even make it look professional. The immediacy with which information can be accessed on smart phones, coupled with the sheer volume of news sources and social media options – the line between which is increasingly hazy – has complicated journalistic truth in a way we’ve never seen.
Even if they were too young to remember life before Wi-Fi, my students from 2012-2015 generally understood the importance of credibility in journalism. They knew that publications from the library’s databases were properly vetted for quality and accuracy. They could differentiate between an established climate scientist’s research and a disgruntled Twitter user’s fiery rants on the “global warming hoax.”
But parsing out the fringe sources from more reliable cannon has gotten a lot harder.
A November 2016 study from the Stanford History Education Group concluded that, when tasked with reading material from the American Academy of Pediatrics (a mainstream academic source) and the American College of Pediatricians (a fringe group with outdated views on homosexuality), most Stanford undergrads viewed the latter as more reputable and “never uncovered the differences between the two groups.”
“What we see is a rash of fake news going on that people pass on without thinking,” study leader Sam Wineburg told NPR. “And we really can’t blame young people because we’ve never taught them to do otherwise.”
Outlets like Occupy Democrats, Infowars, and Breitbart rely on a toxic mix of confirmation bias and unbridled pathos (Can Alex Jones report something without screaming?) to hook their audiences. Donald Trump is both a product of this fake news and a cause of its continued regurgitation.
Our president, like many Americans, does not possess the critical thinking skills needed to separate facts from rubbish, and by way of his popularity and exposure, encourages others to devour media in a similarly careless manner.
“Trump sees something that jives with his worldview, doesn’t check it, half remembers it, and passes it on: at which point, it takes on a life of its own,” John Oliver said earlier this month in a segment aptly titled “Trump vs. Truth.” This is how swaths of Americans have come to believe that millions of illegal immigrants voted in the general election or that the Sandy Hook elementary school shooting was staged.
A few weeks ago, while discussing conventional wisdom with my class, I realized just how much partisan politics has contributed to our acceptance of fake news. Conventional wisdom speaks to how people generally feel about issues at a particular point in time — for example, how safe students felt in schools after Columbine or how comfortable travelers were on airplanes right after 9/11.
Strong changes in conventional wisdom lead to changes in policy and procedure. So what happens when the citizens of one nation inhabit two opposing realities? For the first time, I was unable to talk about conventional wisdom in the traditional sense. There are two distinct conventional wisdoms in our post-Trump country. And I believe that our nation’s hyper-partisanship has led us to excuse blatant falsities that are connected to one party or the other, misguidedly giving bogus sources attention in the interest of offering “equal time.”
I struggle on a weekly basis with how to deal with Donald Trump. Professors are already stereotyped as promoting leftist agendas in the classroom. But given his very real impact on news, up to and including his propensity to lie about everything from his electoral college victory to a non-existent February 17 terrorist attack in Sweden, I can’t ignore him.
Not since the McCarthy era have we witnessed such a fervent witch-hunt of scientists and academics. We are living under an administration that actively suppresses and subverts facts, which in turn has led to a spike in misinformation from the left. Uncovering the truth these days can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.
It’s our obligation as educators to combat “alternative facts” and other departures from reality by training students to be scrupulous consumers and creators of content. Ed Murrow said it best: “To be persuasive we must be believable; to be believable we must be credible; to be credible we must be truthful.”

Tagline: Anise Eden brings us the thrilling and romantic finale to The Healing Edge Series, perfect for fans of Karen Robards or Shiloh Walker.
Psychotherapist Cate Duncan is done with danger. Her whirlwind weeks of training at the MacGregor Group’s parapsychology clinic, while exhilarating, have also brought one crisis after another. So when their research colleague Skeet offers Cate and her boss-turned-boyfriend Ben some time away at his secluded hunting lodge, even though it’ll be a working vacation, they jump at the chance.
But the idyllic Mercier Lodge is teeming with secrets. An aura reader and a telepath who work with Skeet reveal his unorthodox research methods, triggering the MacGregor Group’s suspicions. Then there’s the matter of a tragic death that occurred at the lodge over a year ago, and how it connects to unsolved mysteries from Cate’s past―mysteries she may not be ready to confront.
As they delve into Mercier’s unsavory history, Ben and Cate stick close together, trusting in their love for each other to keep them safe. But when a plot separates them, Cate must rely on the MacGregor Group’s paranormal abilities, some surprise allies, and her own determination to track Ben down and crack Mercier’s mysteries before the strange place claims any more victims.

The bedroom itself was all warm colors and fabrics that invited touching. I fell backward onto the bed, ready to hash out everything that had happened over coffee. But when Ben came in, he held his finger over his mouth in a silencing gesture. He was carrying some kind of small device. It unfolded into the sort of metal sculpture you might see on an office desk. He placed it on the windowsill, concealed behind the curtain.
“What is that?” I mouthed when he turned back towards me.
“It’s okay, we can talk now,” he said. “It’s a scrambler. It’ll disrupt any attempts at surveillance in this room. We’ll each have one.”
“Seriously? You really think we’re being bugged, or tapped, or something?”
“No,” he said in a tone that sounded more like “probably.” “Just erring on the side of caution.”
I was shaking my head when a gauzy white canopy over the bed caught my eye. “Is that—mosquito netting?”
Ben reached up and rubbed the fabric between his fingers. “It is. Obviously, they’re going for authenticity here.”
For some reason, his dry tone made me giggle, and in spite of the fact that there was nothing funny about the situation, I found that I couldn’t stop. I curled up on the bed, then stretched out spread-eagle as laughter overtook me. Ben just looked down at me, rubbing his jaw.
Between guffaws, I managed, “Don’t you get how absurd all of this is? We come here to investigate whether Skeet’s up to something sinister and find out I’m part owner of the Death Star! Oh!” Then the thought of another Star Wars comparison threw me into gales of laughter. “And my father might have been Darth Vader! Oh my god—and I dressed up as Princess Leia one Halloween!” I rolled onto my stomach, grabbing a pillow to laugh into so that the whole lodge wouldn’t hear.
I felt the mattress sink beside me as Ben joined me on the bed. The waves of laughter gradually slowed until they were just occasional lurches. The outburst had drained the tension from my body, and I felt limp. I turned my head to look at Ben, who was half-reclining next to me. He reached out and rested his hand between my shoulder blades, then began to rub slow, wide circles on my back. The last of the jerky laughter stopped as my body entered a relaxed trance. “Mmm.” My eyelids fell closed.
“Princess Leia, huh?”
“Yeah. My mom put my hair in those rolly side buns and everything.”
“I should warn you, I had a crush on Leia back in the day.”
I opened one eye and looked at him. “Really?”
“Absolutely.” He arched an inquisitive eyebrow. “Any chance you had the hots for Han Solo?”
“Why?” As soon as I asked, it dawned on me. Ben’s hand dropped away as I rolled onto my side and propped myself up on my elbow, grinning. “Did you dress up as him?”
Ben nodded solemnly. “My mother may have photographic evidence.”
“Hah!” I loved the thought of little Ben trick-or-treating in a Han Solo costume. “I am so talking to your mother when we get home. I want to see every single photo album. But why didn’t you dress up as your namesake, Ben Obi-Wan Kenobi?”
“You’re disappointed?” Ben frowned. “You had a thing for Obi-Wan Kenobi?”
“Of course not! He was old enough to be my grandfather. I much preferred Han Solo.”
He reached over and squeezed my hip, then ran his hand up over my waist until it came to rest on the side of my ribcage. I gasped, hoping beyond hope that his fingers would continue their journey upward…. But no such luck. Instead, Ben just gave me a sideways smile and said, “At your service, Princess.”
“If only.” I reached up and stroked his hand, teasing the soft skin between his fingers. “You do realize that Leia gives the orders; she doesn’t take them. And she doesn’t take ‘no’ for an answer, either.”
“Hmm.” He lifted my hand to his lips and kissed me on the palm, sending a shiver through me. “This Leia sounds pretty headstrong. Good thing she has Han Solo to look out for her.”
Although his tone was light, Ben’s words called to mind each time over the past two weeks that he had, in fact, stepped in to protect me—even saving my life a few times. The gold flecks in his eyes flashed, and I knew that his subtle reminder hadn’t been accidental.
But this week, we were honored guests at a luxury sporting resort, not trying to solve a top-secret murder under Marine Corps protection. “As I said before, you can relax, Rottie,” I said, using his old Marine Corps nickname. “I promised to follow your safety protocols, remember?”
“I remember, but we haven’t established what those are yet. Until we do, I want us to stick together, okay? No separating, no running off.”
“I’m not going to run off!”
Hearing the undercurrent of pain in his voice, I kept my irritation in check. In fairness to Ben, I had sort of run off once before, even though it had been for a good reason. And I knew why he was so fixated on protecting those he loved. He felt guilty for failing to prevent his father’s death, even though it had been due to an accidental overdose. But his father had struggled with alcoholism for years, and when Ben left home to join the Marines, his father began abusing painkillers, as well. Ben blamed himself for that, believing that if he had stayed home, his father would still be alive.
Between that guilt and being a member of Yankee Company—his special Marine Corps unit dedicated to protecting whistleblowers from the government—Ben had developed an amplified sense of responsibility for protecting others. Unfortunately, the fact that I kept getting into life-threatening situations had only intensified his need to feel in control of things.
I squeezed his hand. “We’ll stick together.”
“Good.” Ben released my hand and gently brushed a loose strand of hair from my cheek. “Now let’s talk about you. You had me worried, back there in the dining room. How are you holding up?”
“I’m okay, I guess. The past twenty-four hours…it’s been a lot to take in. I guess I just needed a minute to breathe.”
Before becoming an award-winning author, ANISE EDEN wanted to be a wildlife photographer. Unfortunately, a strong aversion to large insects, poisonous snakes, and sharks―along with a cat allergy that might well extend to tigers―limited that career option. Also, Anise always roots for the gazelle, and we all know how that usually turns out. Fortunately, Anise’s voracious hunger for reading kept her occupied, eventually morphing into a passion for writing quirky stories filled with heart, humor, and imagination. Anise loves that through writing, she can live out any adventure she likes without the need for antivenom or antihistamines.

Espionage Class (open to students taking the class)
Running Up That Hill :: Everywhere Else :: Time Turner :: Past :: 2020-2021 Term
by Cassandra Night on Sun Aug 25, 2019 12:33 am
Cassandra stood in the back of the class, hidden in a shadow, as various students filtered in. At the exact second that class starts, she goes into her opening speech, "This is not a class for the faint of hear, or the faint of stomach. Espionage is a morally corrupting task, so if you wish to continue with your morals in tact, I will not begrudge you leaving."
Cassandra stops as she waits for any students who may wish to leave. Once she is sure that everyone who had been scared off by her speech has left, she waved her want and a series of books appeared on everyone's desk. "This is your reading material for the quarter, we are going to start by focusing on the muggle history of espionage, because even though magic can do some of the things we are looking at better than muggles, they have built the foundations of all of the methods of espionage we use."

Narkissos had his curiosity piqued by an espionage class. This was something he never expected Hogwarts to ever have, so he wanted to be one of the first to experience such a subject. If anything, it'd at least make good discussion with his father.
He took a seat looking at the books that were on his desk. Muggle espionage? An opportunity to quiz Faye during their prefect's bathroom sessions!

"I promise you'll learn something useful at this class," Kenzi told her girlfriend as she dragged the other girl into the classroom deep within the forbidden corridor. It seems like one of the prerequisites for this class was getting to the classroom without getting caught. "If nothing else, it another class we can spend together," Kenzi added as she made her way into the classroom.

"I had no idea there was a forbidden corridor. I learn something new every day." Discordia was a bit in her own world at the moment. Once in the classroom, she looked around. "So few people."

Blake was excited to learn about Espionage, because it was always a part of history that he found to be incredibly interesting and was something he knew a lot about. The male had been researching up on the Cold War for a couple years, and had been incredibility fascinated with the subject. Seated in the back he had been listening to Professor Night talk about the subject, and how it's not for the faint of heart. That was sure, because the Cold War was dangerous.
When she told them about them researching muggle history, he smirked. "The best part, because I doubt wizarding espionage it as interesting." he said looking at the professor. Hoping to make a impression on the professor, and he asked when he saw. "How much into the Cold War will we be going into, Professor Night?" he asked hoping it wasn't too much.
He wanted to learn all he could about that history.

Nina had been looking forward to the Espionage Class that was provided here, because she knew a bit about it, and it was always something that fascinated her. So she wanted to take the class, and see just what it was all about. Taking a seat in the class, and not seeing the professor. Only to be interrupted when the professor spoke from the back. The witch turned to see what she was all about, and she let out a smirk as much as it was scary. She thought it was interesting enough.
When she went into how they'd be learning about muggle espionage. Nina was excited because she had known that they basically created it, and she decided to ask. "Didn't the muggles invent espionage?" hoping it wasn't too stupid of a answer. But she was curious, and wanted to learn.

As she finished her speech, Cassandra surveyed the room. Considering the location, this was about as many people as she expected to find in her class, which was just to her liking. Gave her more time to do her other work.
"To answer peoples questions, in order. One, we are going to touch on the Cold War, but it's mostly going to be a stepping stone to move towards modern conflicts. Two, that's a really complicated question." Cassandra picks up one of the copies of The Art of War sitting on her desk, "This book, which has the foundations of everything the espionage was built on is from well before the time of the Statute of Secrecy, even before the time of Merlin, so it's hard to say how much or little magic users were involved. Now, the institutionalization of the information game is very much a muggle invention, though the magical community followed suit soon after."
Cassandra gave a pause before continuing, "Now, are there any other questions that you may have before we dive into the material?"

Two Energy Efficient Vermont Homes
Here is an up-close look at two energy efficient Vermont homes built by Sisler Builders in Stowe, Vermont.
Ernie Ruskey and Laurie Wood had three primary objectives when they built their house in Morrisville: simplicity, energy efficiency, and harmony with the site. They achieved their goals with a minimalist modern design, a home that is super tight, has excellent air exchange rate results, and heats easily with propane and supplemental wood. The house is nestled on a gentle, wooded hillside, with mountains views to the west, and blends unobtrusively with its surroundings.
“One goal in all of our work is to have a house that fits into the site and landscape. It’s always about the view and topography,” says Ernie, architect and owner of Tektonika Studio Architects in Stowe. He designed their house, which has a wedge shape that is, shall we say, wedged into the site’s natural topography. The garage is a half-story down, connected by an open, covered walkway leading to the staircase and main entry. Passing through the mudroom and kitchen to the light-filled great room you notice the subtle widening of the space. In consort with the nine-foot ceilings, expansive west-facing windows, well detailed maple stairwell, and natural stone hearth, this is a truly inviting space. A deck and screened porch off the wide end enable outdoor living close to nature.
As a Stowe architect, Ernie knows many local builders, and choosing one to build a house he designed for his family was a difficult decision. “I gave several builders a shot,” he says. “Sisler Builders was on the short list of three companies. Their bid was the middle number and it felt realistic. I also felt good about the company’s project-management skills and their deep energy-efficiency knowledge.
Sisler Builders’ core tenet is building the tightest envelope possible at a cost that doesn’t break the budget. Their seven years of focused home energy analysis and retrofits has shown them where typical problems are, especially for air and heat leakage. Whether building a new house or an addition, their crews know what to do to make sure there are no egregious air leaks in places that are difficult, costly, or impossible to fix later.
Aesthetics were also important for Ernie and Laurie. “Sisler Builders made the right matches with their subcontractors. The craftsmanship is superior and from a design standpoint it really worked for me,” Ernie explains. “The costing piece, team, scheduling, and experience are all important, but most important in any building process is a good rapport. Steve communicates well and our personalities clicked. Laurie and I both had, and have, a good feeling about him.”
Jo and Jonathan (JP) Poole of Concord, Mass., had similar goals when building their house in Stowe. Simplicity was their primary objective. They wanted a modern design, small enough to feel cozy, yet large enough to accommodate guests. They also wanted a house that was ecologically friendly and sustainable, which led them to a solar-powered geothermal heating and cooling system which uses only renewable resources.
When the Pooles moved from the United Kingdom to the United States, they first came to Stowe. They ended up in Concord, Mass., where JP works in biotech and Jo owns Concord Fitsquad. They continued visiting Stowe, and when it was time to build their house they reached out to Sisler Builders, whom they had heard about around town, particularly in the context of highly energy-efficient, ecologically friendly construction.
“We set up a meeting with Steve Sisler and liked his practical approach,” JP says. When it was time to find an architect, Steve recommended Ernie Ruskey of Tektonika Studio Architects. “Steve thought Ernie would be a good match for us. His tastes, design perspective, and core interests were aligned with ours.”
At both the Poole and Ruskey-Wood residences, Sisler Builders implemented a combination of recently introduced energy efficiency building products and practices. When building the envelopes they used Huber’s superior Zip-R wall-sheathing panel and proprietary tape. With careful application of the tape at all seams you can cost-effectively ensure a tight building envelope even before insulation is applied. Sisler Builders did that at both homes, achieving air exchange level’s really close to the rigorous Passive House Institute US best practice standards, and they did it cost effectively.
The Poole house begins with the main-floor mudroom, which includes a huge, open-riser, three-story, steel-supported staircase. Beyond that is the heart of the home, a spacious and airy great room/kitchen/dining room. “The mud room and open-plan living area were primary for us. We focused our resources there and on the staircase,” JP notes.
The house is entirely electrically driven, with LED lighting throughout. Radiant heat is powered by a closed loop geothermal system supplemented with a modern Hearthstone soapstone wood stove. Their 4.9 kW solar array provides about 70 percent of all the electricity the home uses.
It’s the only modern style house in their neigh-borhood, yet it’s inconspicuous and unassuming. JP and Jo concur that at the end of the day they were really happy with the final product. “Steve quickly found solutions to challenges and was sensible and direct. Our house is simple and clean and that means the quality of work is extra important. Sisler Builders, their crew, and subcontractors provided excellent craftsmanship. It was a good team.”

NASCAR Fantasy Fusion: Short-track racing at Bristol
Drivers with Most Top 10s (Last 5 Years):
Both with 4 - Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Kyle Larson
All with 3: Jimmie Johnson, Clint Bowyer, Ryan Newman, Joey Logano and Kevin Harvick
All with 2: Chase Elliott, Aric Almirola and Denny Hamlin
By Track
All with 7: Jimmie Johnson, Joey Logano and Kevin Harvick
All with 6: Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Kyle Larson
All with 5: Denny Hamlin, Clint Bowyer and Ryan Newman
Recent Pole Winners:
2018 Kyle Busch
2017 Rained out
Last Year's Race Winner: Kyle Busch
The Likely Suspects: I had the chance to experience the second race at Bristol last year. When people say it's loud and sitting-on-the-edge-of-your-seat exciting they aren't exaggerating. Drivers who do well at Bristol are either the wild/risk-taker type or the patiently picking off their opponents type. My Bristol go-tos are Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Kyle Larson, Jimmie Johnson, Joey Logano, Kyle Busch, Clint Bowyer, Ryan Newman, Kevin Harvick and Denny Hamlin.
My 2 Cents: My no-brainer pick this week is a tie between Ricky Stenhouse Jr. and Kyle Larson. My next picks are Kyle Busch, Erik Jones, Jimmie Johnson and Clint Bowyer. I will complete my team with Bubba Wallace and Matt DiBenedetto.
My Final Four: Kyle Busch, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Erik Jones and Matt DiBenedetto
Second-Look Driver: This week's second-look driver is Ryan Newman. Ryan has the seventh best average finish at Bristol, where he has made 34 series starts, posting two Top 5s, 18 Top 10s and an average finish of 15.7. Last week's second-look driver, Chase Elliott, started third on the grid at Texas Motor Speedway and battled in the top five a good portion of the race, leading 35 laps. The Kelley Blue Book Chevrolet finished the race in 13th place.
Points to Ponder:
Denny Hamlin and Ryan Newman lead all active drivers in Busch poles at Bristol with three each.
Kyle Busch leads the series among active drivers in wins at Bristol with seven (Spring 2007, 2009 sweep, Fall 2010, Spring 2011, Fall 2017, Spring 2018).
The race winner has started from the pole 25 times (21.7%) - the most productive starting position in the field. The last driver to win from the pole was Kyle Busch (Spring 2018).
Roger Penske leads the series among active car owners with the most wins at Bristol with 12; followed by Jack Roush, Joe Gibbs and Rick Hendrick with 11 each.
Kevin Harvick and Jimmie Johnson lead all active drivers in top fives at Bristol with 12 each.
Jimmie Johnson leads the series among active drivers in top-10 finishes at Bristol with 20.
Ricky Stenhouse Jr. leads the series among active drivers in average finishing position at Bristol with a 11.3 in 12 series starts.
Kyle Busch leads all active drivers in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series in laps led at Bristol with 2,233 in 27 starts.
Remember, if you're playing Driver Group Game, make your picks by 8 a.m. EDT on Friday, April 5 and pick your starters by 3 p.m. EDT on race day, Sunday, April 7.
Enjoy the race!

New Superintendent to lead School District 57
Oct. 21, 2019 --
The Board of Education for School District 57 (Prince George) is pleased to announce the appointment of Anita Richardson as Superintendent / CEO effective January 1, 2020. Anita is a skilled educator who brings with her a passion for Indigenous Education and relationship building with community. The appointment is a homecoming for Anita after a few years in Alberta most recently with Horizon School Division as the Associate Superintendent. Anita knows the district well as she spent time as a teacher and principal in Mackenzie and was born in Prince George and raised in the Robson Valley.
"The Board of Education is very excited to welcome Anita back home to School District 57," says Tim Bennett, Board Chair. "It was important the successful candidate demonstrated leadership and results working with community through authentic relationships, supporting improved outcomes for students and vision for the district. Anita's passion, background and experiences will complement the strong leadership team we have in the district and help continue to move the district forward into 2020 and beyond."
"Leaving in 2012 was a difficult family decision that led to a wonderful opportunity to grow and learn in two new environments. I recognize that as I embark on this new yet familiar path that, as the English author Terry Pratchett said, 'Coming back to where you started is not the same as never leaving.' I have the luxury of a fresh perspective while recognizing the importance of the journey so far. As I return, I bring a strong moral grounding, a desire to inspire learning, a commitment to our communities, and a willingness to engage others in meaningful conversation," stated Anita Richardson, incoming SD57 Superintendent.
Richardson adds "I am looking forward to getting reacquainted with the communities and people that make up School District 57. I know that by developing strong relationships with the dedicated Board of Education, our amazing staff, members of Lheidli T'enneh and McLeod Lake Indian Band, our committed educational stakeholders, together we will grow School District 57 into a learning community that truly prepares our students to seize life's opportunities. It is only together, supporting one another, working toward our common goal that we will see School District 57 reach its true potential."
"The Board would like to thank Rod Allen for his leadership, vision and commitment he has shown our district and we are pleased Rod has agreed to continue in the Interim Superintendent position until Anita arrives in January," added Bennett.

Confessions of a 19th Century Train Driver
Oct 26, 2015 | Rail Journey
“She’ll be coming ‘round the mountain when she comes, she’ll be coming ‘round the mountain when she comes”, well, this song, the modern version of it anyway, is about a train. You can imagine the excitement building in small towns and hamlets, as trains full of new things and people made their way around the mountain to your home. The 19th century train driver was an important personage with a lot of responsibility and status to go with it. It was his train coming around that mountain, bearing goods and passengers, which, just might, positively impact that town.
Train drivers (engineers in American parlance) were responsible for checking the rail worthiness of all the carriages and the mechanical operation of the train. The train engineer had his brakeman and conductor to assist him on the journey, as they made their way ‘round that mountain. Occasionally, some drivers would stop their trains to pick up contraband and be paid by smugglers and black market operators as well as having their carriages cleaned by the local spotless cleaning company. Much like this kind of stuff continues to this day, with transnational bus drivers and twenty first century train drivers. Although GPS tracking is now making unscheduled stops far more dangerous for nefarious drivers of all modes of transportation.
What about the land equivalent for the sailor with a girl in every port? The confessions of the 19th century train driver did include the odd interlude with a lady of the night. A vacant carriage and with the support of the assistant driver that rolling stock could really rock ‘n roll. Trains are particularly suited to rhythmic activities and the chug chug of those grinding wheels just keep on and on. Lots of girls love a uniform with shiny buttons and the attentions of an important man. “She’ll be coming ‘round the mountain when she comes”, you know the rest of the song.
Train engineers in the nineteenth century also faced the dangers of bandits and train robbers, as they often carried the wages and valuables of companies across the land. These trains were the life blood of commerce and industry all over America, distributing the wealth. Criminal gangs would target these gold laden trains, as they made their steady way from east to west and north to south. The engine driver and his underlings would need to be ever vigilant, armed and on the lookout for signs of impending danger. It was a time of life and death in the frontier towns.

NASB Translator's Notes:
Literal renderings, alternate translations or explanations.
1 Or the Son of Man
Amplified 2015 Translator's Notes:
1 Or like a son of man. The phrase is a translation of a Hebrew idiom which refers to a man, and John could simply be describing his first impression. But since this proves to be a vision of Christ (v 18), John probably is referring to Him by the title that Jesus so often applied to Himself, a title originating in the Messianic prophecy of Daniel.
A Rev 2:1 "To the angel of the church in Ephesus write: ¶ The One who holds the seven stars in His right hand, the One who walks among the seven golden lampstands, says this:
B Ezek 1:26 ¶ Now above the expanse that was over their heads there was something resembling a throne, like lapis lazuli in appearance; and on that which resembled a throne, high up, was a figure with the appearance of a man.
C Dan 10:5 I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, there was a certain man dressed in linen, whose waist was girded with a belt of pure gold of Uphaz.
D Rev 15:6 and the seven angels who had the seven plagues came out of the temple, clothed in linen, clean and bright, and girded around their chests with golden sashes.

mueller investigation. rick gates served as deputy chairman of the trump campaign. gates had been paul manafort's right hand deputy working for ukrainian e iaian oligarchs. manafort was pushed out in august of 2016 but rick gates stayed on right through election day. gates then served as the number two official on the trump inaugural committee. because he held those key positions rick gates was an up close first person eye witness to what was going on inside the trump campaign at a very high level. in october of 2017 he was first charged alongside manafort on multiple counts including conspiracy, money laundering and acting as an unregistered foreign agent. after prosecutors hit him with another round of felony charges for a total of 31, rick gates flipped. he pleaded guilty to two charges while agreeing to cooperate and provide information to robert mueller's team. this was a pivotal moment in the special counsel investigation. rick gates who knew so much about the inner workings at the very highest levels of the trump campaign was now willing to spill secrets to robert mueller's

surprise revelations from the mueller report and from mueller's testimony to congress was that mueller and his team didn't do a financial investigation pertaining to the president, his business, his family. although robert mueller repeatedly asserted unequivocally that financial entanglements, particularly secret financial entanglements are a primary mean of foreign governments compromising u.s. persons, gaining leverage over americans, including people in u.s. politics, mueller asserted that any such investigation into the president, into whether president trump might have had those compromising kinds of financial ties, that was viewed witness the special counsel's office as outside their agreement. they saw that as a counterintelligence matter and not what they were doing, and so they didn't do it. if there were illegal or illicit or even just secret dealings involving foreign entities that could be traced through the president's personal and business finances, that obviously would be of serious national security interests, serious counterintelligence interests. it would be a

a case growing out of robert mueller's investigation. 74-year-old craig faces one count of lying to the justice department about the work he did for manafort on behalf of ukraine in 2012. he was initially indietd on two counts but the judge dismissed one of those counts last week. so he's just up on one felony charge. politico's josh gerstein was in the courtroom for jury selection at greg craig's trial today. he says that the origins of the case in the mueller investigation came up a couple of times at the judge's insistence. "judge amy berman jackson advised the 70 washington residents of the jury pool that they may be hearing from or about former trump campaign chairman paul manafort and deputy chairman rick gates. jackson told the potential jurors twice of the mueller links. at one point she noted that part of the craig probe was conducted by mueller's office. the judge asked jurors notify her if anything about that connection would prevent you or hinder you from being fair in craig's trial." craig was present in the courtroom. he stood for a time unsmiling with his hands folded

mueller report that's about the president potentially committing criminal obstruction of just. so congress is going to get to the bottle of the allegations in the mueller report. obviously they're going to want to hear from the key witness in the mueller report which is don mcgahn. the white house not surprisingly has told mcgahn he can't testify, he shouldn't testify. the president beyond that has called mcgahn all sorts of names and said he's a liar and threatened him and threatened his law firm and incidentally that may itself be witness tampering to keep don mcgahn from talking in a federal ongoing investigation. but for his own part don mac began is trying to get out of testifying as well. by saying if you think about it he really wasn't really white house counsel at all. don mcgahn put out a statement today in response to this lawsuit filed to get him to testify, claiming that he was just a lawyer with a client and that client happened to be the president. and since the president doesn't want him to testify now despite that subpoena to testify he's going to respect his clients wishes

to pay it back. we know from the mueller investigation that for some reason trump campaign chair paul manafort offered this russian-connected oligarch oleg deripaska, he offered him private briefings on the trump campaign during the election, up to and including the still unexplained plot line from mueller's investigation in which manafort is known to have shipped deripaska a whole bunch of internal trump campaign polling data. nonpublic proprietary information on the campaign's plans and strategy, particularly in key states in the industrial midwest that trump would go on to unexpectedly flip on his way to an election night victory in 2016. why did deripaska want that kind of granular information? manafort is known to have passed that data on to deripaska during the 2016 campaign through an intermediary who has himself now been charged by federal prosecutors, the intermediary manafort used to ship this stuff to deripaska is believed by the fbi to himself be linked to russian intelligence. so when it comes to what russia did and how russia messed with our election, deripaska is this k

Canada prosecutors charge driver in Lac-Megantic railway crash
Published on 13 May 2014, 8:39 AM Last Update: 5 year(s) ago by Lawyer66
Category: All Articles
from: http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/05/13/canada-train-idUKL1N0NZ04P20140513
Tue May 13, 2014 4:24am
TORONTO/OTTAWA May 12 (Reuters) - Canadian authorities on Monday charged Montreal, Maine and Atlantic Railway Ltd (MM&A) and three employees with criminal negligence following last summer's train derailment in Lac-Megantic, Quebec, that killed 47 people.
Thomas Harding, Jean Demaitre, Richard Labrie - all employees of the railway - and the company itself were charged with 47 counts of criminal negligence causing death, according to Rene Verret, spokesman for the public prosecutor's office.
He said Harding was the driver of the train, while Labrie was a controller at MM&A, and Demaitre was director of operations. Representatives for the three men and railway could not immediately be reached for comment.
Verret said the three were placed under arrest on Monday and will appear in court on Tuesday afternoon in Lac-Megantic.
The derailment occurred after a single engineer, Harding, parked his train for the night on a main line uphill from the small town. The train of oil tankers started rolling and eventually derailed, exploding into balls of fire and flattening the center of the town.
U.S.-based MM&A filed for bankruptcy protection in the wake of the disaster. MM&A Chairman Edward Burkhardt, who was not charged, told Reuters in March he had been in touch with investigators "from time to time" to provide requested information.
The accident put North America's thriving crude-by-rail business under a regulatory microscope. Shipping crude oil via rails has soared in recent years, propelled by increased production in Western Canada and North Dakota without an accompanying boost in pipeline capacity.
The railway initially blamed the catastrophe on the failure of the train's pneumatic airbrakes after an engine fire. Burkhardt later said the train's engineer did not apply an adequate number of handbrakes to hold the train in place.

Hot Water Music & La Dispute Comparative Live Show Review: Stage Diving Into Old Age
Posted on Feb 13th, 2013

showbox at the market (seattle)
To be old and punk rock is to be old and potentially irrelevant, and that is, to a certain degree, why most punk bands have such a limited life cycle. How can anyone maintain the anger, aggression and emotional commitment to hold onto the values and morals deemed important as a teenager, without the world grinding it all down into a jaded package of disillusion?
There is nothing that says that being in a punk band means you have to start when you are 20 and cease when you are 27, but to a certain degree, the writing is on the wall the moment you start. You may have been bellowing discontent to a crowd of 20-year-olds with your first vinyl, but after the third album is released, an older you will probably still be bellowing that discontent to a crowd of 20-year-olds.
With that in mind, it is completely understandable why bands in the realm live and die so quickly, and those that stick around for decades are few and far between.
February 10th, 2012 @ Showbox at the Market, Seattle
But Gainsville, Florida quartet Hot Water Music are one of the few between. Hot Water Music released Finding the Rhythms in 1995. After eight full-lengths, numerous EPs, and returning from an “indefinite hiatus”, the torchbearers of the post-hardcore/emo wave of the mid-’90s are still going strong. For their tour in support of their latest release, Exister, HWM took out for support two very similar bands in different points in their career: La Dispute and The Menzingers.
When reminiscing about Hot Water Music, most people bring up how they were their favorite band at one point or how no one else spoke closer to home lyrically, etc., etc. For many in the punk community, Hot Water Music proved that you can wear your heart on your sleeve and not sacrifice any points for it. This evening at the Showbox in Seattle, the legions of kids that sang along to their every word 15 years ago have aged and matured likewise, rounding their set out with one of the oldest median age punk crowds you’d see in a while. When “Wayfarer” rang out, the crowd cheered almost louder than the band sang. The mosh pit was active, but not in a stupidly vicious way, and there wasn’t a single crowdsurfer until a teenager finally was able to get on the shoulders of someone else to make his mad dash for the barrier between the crowd and the stage.
HOT WATER MUSIC – EXISTER ALBUM REVIEW
LIVE SHOW REVIEW CONTINUED BELOW
This was all in stark contrast to the spirit of La Dispute‘s angst-ridden, emotionally exhaustive set. For 45 minutes their crowd, mostly made up of the all-ages crew while the Hot Water Music crowd sipped beverages in the back bar, screamed out every word vocalist Jordan Dreyer uttered — as if it were their hand that had written his stories. La Dispute stand in a odd subsection of punk rock and hardcore as well, hanging out with bands like Defeater and Touche Amore as bands that straddle the line of hardcore without falling into the meat-headed trap it sometimes presents. Whereas everyone during Hot Water Music was reliving the past, La Dispute’s crowd was experiencing the present. They shrieked until they lost their voices, piled on top of each other when Dreyer called for it, and screamed like excitable teenagers whenever any band member supposedly made eye contact.

LA DISPUTE BAND INTERVIEW: IT’S LIKE MEDICINE. IT’S SELF-DISCOVERY.
LA DISPUTE LIVE SHOW VIEW
That, in essence, is what it is to go to a punk show as a youth. They are shows that requirement commitment — emotionally and physically. After all, the human body can only take so many missed stage dives or wild accidental (or purposeful) elbows to the lower back and abdomen. For La Dispute, few souls on the floor were content with just standing and nodding along. It was an all or nothing affair. For the Hot Water Music crowd, the energy was still there, but it was more spent trying to recall a younger time in life. But when the moments hit — when anything off of Fuel For the Hate Game or Forever and Counting rang out, the crowd would launch full bore into reliving time in life when everything was much easier. It was fitting when Hot Water Music covered the Bouncing Souls’ “True Believers” for the first song of their encore. The Bouncing Souls are a similar band to Hot Water Music — around longer than anyone would ever expect and adored by all who have ever listened to them. As an anthem of support, everyone sang along, old and, to a certain degree, young alike. For that brief three minutes, decades of difference and experience in life didn’t matter. Everyone was at a punk show, and everyone was having a good time.

Peter Woodburn
When people say they like all kinds of music, they usually add the caveat “except heavy metal”. Peter Woodburn doesn’t. In fact, he is almost always asking for more heavy metal. His love for music stems from seeing the Grateful Dead at the tender age of 11 years, and it hasn’t faded since. He loves everything from 15-minute-long bluegrass jams to thirty-second grindcore blasts, as well as everything in between. Give him a monster riff, though, and he will be forever happy.

Testimonies of using BASIC back in the day
Thread: Testimonies of using BASIC back in the day

Interesting reading the comments under that link. Thanks for posting.
I was a dab hand at BASIC in the day (1982-1988 ). At that time it was generally sneered upon by those in the computer science community for being unstructured, inelegant and allowing spaghetti code...a "toy" language. There is some truth in this, but I can't help thinking there was snobbery also. There were many variants of BASIC but even with 8k BASIC you could write understandable code. It was a matter of being disciplined and commenting extensively (where RAM allowed it). Once we moved past the basic (8-12k) BASICs into GW-BASIC and QuickBASIC, structural elements were there (e.g. WHILE...WEND etc.). You also had enough RAM to comment well.
I wrote some highly useful in-house programs for my work that did the job exactly as they should, and weren't hard to maintain. It was an Everyman's language.
BASIC I salute you!

Remember CBASIC? Lots of commercial software written in that.
(Modesty forbids) designed and wrote a multiuser BASIC for serious business applications that was still in use up until a few years ago. Initially, it started out by implementing the MCBA small business application suite, but was eventually turned toward tasks such as word processing. It was blazing fast; faster than even Microsoft compiled BASIC, even though it was interpreted P-Code.

I started when I was a wee kid typing in basic on the 64 with my brothers. I was only 3 when we got it...sadly i was only around 12 when it died.
Later though! I found Qbasic 4.5! I had a ton of fun with that, and still have a lot of my old software hanging around somewhere. The language was still in use by some pretty serious people making some amazing software. It was mostly hobby stuff until DirectQB came out. Then the language had a bright flash, and then died around 2005, 2006...mainly because, I think, direct QB took away some of its hobby charm, perceived approachableness to beginners, and increased vastly, the disparity between new hobbyists and seasoned programmers. The QB RPGs are still a great play, and there is one site that is still up with all the tutorials, releases, software reviews, and great links. I have very fond memories of commodore basic (which I still use), and qbasic which I actually made an inventory system for my garage with a few years ago! The entire thing fit onto one 3.5" disk, on a stripped down computer with no hard drive, booting MSDOS 5. It even has a screen saver!
I agree that BASIC was very useful despite its limitations.
The small interpreted basics, the Microsoft variants which I'm most familiar, were
hampered by only two significant character variable names and unparameterized
gosubs. But I still learned a lot with them, especially on the C64!
I didn't get to use the better BASICs due to having to move on to C in those days.
Still fond memories.
Snobbery certainly played a part. I started on the BBC Micro in the early 1980s so I'm obviously biased, but the direct, simple access to the hardware was great (as, if I'd ever mastered it, was the embedded assembler). I've gone on to write lots of code in other languages and I still come across sneering about BASIC from people who think programming started with JavaScript or Python.
BASIC was simple, logical and fast (enough). I wrote a QuickBASIC program to control the analytical stage of a dark matter detector in the early 1990s. It was more than fast enough to handle the incoming data stream. I even included an 'Easter egg' in the form of a space invaders clone. Don't think my supervisor ever noticed.
A couple of years ago I wrote a simple GW-BASIC program to help my kids learn their times tables. The structure was logical enough that with a bit of help they could work out what each line did. I really don't think that's the case with most other languages.

You want snobbery? Try being a Pascal programmer. All kinds of C snobs always preaching the supposed superiority of C.
I never found the limitations of even the interpreted BASICs terribly limiting. In fact, I found the more advanced BASICs, with their lack of direct and indirect memory addressing more limiting.
Sure, BASIC, especially the interpreted ones were terribly slow, and memory hungry, but they still get the job done!
Mind you, for all the things I've accomplished with it over the decades, I still don't like BASIC..
Be polite and I may let you live.

I think the main cause was declining DOS compatibility in Windows. XP had poor sound card support and timing/CPU usage issues, Vista had no support for DOS graphics, and 64-bit versions of Windows couldn't run DOS programs at all. There were hacks and workarounds but it was too big of a hassle for most people. As FreeBASIC started maturing more people moved to that; then QB64 came out and the rest moved to that.

I don't recall a lot of commercial/professional software being written in BASIC back in my early C64/MS-DOS days.
However, in Windows, Visual Basic was a very popular option, and quite a few well known programs were developed in VB.
A lot of companies also used Visual Basic for Applications as an advanced scripting language for adding functionality to their Office documents and such. You'd be surprised how advanced and mission-critical some of that stuff was/is.
But yes, for me too, BASIC was the first contact I had with a computer. My first computer was a ZX81, which started in BASIC, like so many home computers of the day (call me crazy, but what I love about the original IBM PCs is that they can boot directly into BASIC, unlike any clone).
My second computer was a Commodore 64, and it worked exactly the same way. My neighbour had an Atari 8-bit machine, and again, same thing. Friend with an MSX? Same, goes directly to BASIC.
It wasn't until later when I started using MS-DOS and Amiga systems that I even realized a computer doesn't necessarily have to boot into BASIC.
To me it felt somewhat limiting, because I had been doing some simple programming on the ZX81 and C64 from time to time, and now I had computers where I had to load a program first, before I could begin programming.

You are here: HomeBlogs & NewsFestival commemorates peasant hero in Dien Bien
A festival commemorating the 224 th death anniversary of peasant hero Hoang Cong Chat opened in the northern mountainous province of Dien Bien on April 4.
Started in 1994, the Ban Phu Citadel - Hoang Cong Chat Temple Festival annually takes place from the 24 th to 25 th day of the second lunar month in Ban Phu Citadel, Noong Het commune.
The festival, the largest in Dien Bien province, features a wide range of cultural, artistic and sports activities, including a palanquin procession, incense offering, art performances and a show of traditional costumes of local ethnic groups, including Thai, H’Mong, Kho Mu, Lu and Lao.
Many folk games and a cooking contest are also held during the two-day event.
The Ban Phu Citadel was built between 1758 and 1762 by Hoang Cong Toan, the son of Hoang Cong Chat, who led local people in the movement to protect the northwestern villages from the occupation of the Phe invaders from China in the 18 th century.
The Ban Phu Citadel – Hoach Cong Chat Temple, which was twice recognised as a national historical and culture relic site in 1981 and 1994, has not only become an important cultural and spiritual destination for ethnic minorities in Dien Bien province but also an attraction for Vietnamese and foreign tourists.-VNA

GST Expected To Generate RM8 Billion In Extra Revenue
TUESDAY, 03 JUNE 2014 08:32
By Athirah Abdul Aziz
Pix Abd Ra’ai Osman
BANGI, 30 May 2014 – The Goods and Services Tax (GST) is not a new tax but an updated and improved version of tax-collecting method that will help generate an extra RM8 billion to the national coffers.
Deputy Minister of International Trade and Industry Datuk Ir Haji Hamim Samuri said it will enable the government to collect tax which it had failed to receive from business transactions between consumers and retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers.
Speaking at The National University of Malaysia (UKM) Keris Mas College Student Awards and Charity Night here recently, Datuk Hamim said the GST and Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) were among the moves the government plans to undertake to generate more income for the country.
He said Malaysia is the third country in Asia, behind Hong Kong and Singapore, which depended greatly on international trade to generate income. Last year, almost RM1.4 trillion of its income was obtained from international trade and exports.
However, from next year Malaysia will lose the Generalised System of Preferences (GSP) privileges from goods exported to the European Union and Canada because Malaysia had become an almost developed country. The absence of this privilege will result in higher taxes imposed by those countries on goods they imported from Malaysia.
The TPPA would be given due consideration taking into account matters such as national sovereignty and Malaysians thus need not fear as the government will ensure the country’s interests are not compromised before the agreement is signed. If TPPA countries such as Australia, New Zealand, Brunei and Vietnam agree to the terms placed by Malaysia, the country will get the chance to obtain GSP from the TPPA nations.
Datuk Hamim made the clarifications on behalf of Prime Minister, Dato’ Sri Najib Tun Razak who is also Finance Minister hoping that Malaysian would view efforts by the government to improve its income more rationally and based on facts.
He praised students of the college for their creativity mentioning that they possessed qualities of being able to think rationally and implement research based on facts. University students needed to be able to have creativity and thinking skills so as to create an impact on the nation’s development.
The event with the theme of “Magical Winter Wonderland: Hearts Drawing Night, Reality as Lovely as a Dream” was held at the Tun Abdul Razak Chancellor’s Hall (DECTAR). They also hosted orphans from the Limpahan Kasih Charity House for the charity event.
Deputy Vice Chancellor (Student and Alumni Affairs), Prof Datin Noor Aziah Haji Mohd Awal, Principal of Keris Mas College, Principal Dr Ruslin Amir and his Deputy Haji Ishak Abdul Rahman attended the function which was sponsored by the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Higher Education, Les’ Copaque Production Sdn Bhd, Qaira Hijab Malaysian Online Hijab Store, Samihah Closet, Padieka Raccolta Clothing Store, Arif Bakar Creative Design and ByFatinSuhana Online Store.

Fireworks on the Fourth: Fizzled again!
For the fourth consecutive year, hundreds of people who trekked to Wausau's annual 4th of July celebration at Marathon Park left disappointed after winds created a safety hazard that canceled the fireworks show.
Fireworks have been held at Marathon Park on July 4 for more than 60 years, but the latest cancellation has many in the city calling for a change of venue. The planned display included shells that would explode 300 feet in the air, posing possible safety concerns for people in the grandstand and neighborhood, according to city officials.
The Wausau Fire Department said it will work with Wausau Area 4th of July, Inc., organizers of the annual event, to look for solutions to minimize the possibility of cancellation. That could include a change of venue or smaller shells.
"The priority of the Wausau Fire Department is the safety of our citizens and visitors; therefore we followed the advice of the fireworks specialist to cancel the fireworks," a news release read. "A decision to do so is never taken lightly given the significance of the occasion; however, public safety is always the driving factor for any fireworks display.

HomeIndiaRight to Privacy is a Fundamental Right Now: Modi keeps mum, his ministers welcome the verdict
Right to Privacy is a Fundamental Right Now: Modi keeps mum, his ministers welcome the verdict
The petitioner Justice K S Puttuswamay says “AADHAAR will be affected but cannot say how. It has its own parameters and the government will not leave it easily. It will fight.
August 27, 2017 Shams Khan India, Politics 7
In a historic judgment of nine- judges bench of the Supreme Court ruled that privacy is a fundamental right inscribed under article 21, right to life and right to personal liberty, of Indian Constitution. The final ruling consists of five separate judgments from different judges unanimously concluding that right to privacy is a fundamental right.
The much awaited decision has overturned two previous judgments. First in 1954 M.P. Sharma case in which eight judges bench and later in 1962 Kharak Singh case six judges bench of Supreme Court had ruled that right to privacy is not a fundamental right.
The ruling has far reaching implication as many laws and government directives will fall under its purview. Senior Supreme Court advocate, Parshant Bhushan talking to media explained the verdict and said, “Supreme Court today held that right to privacy is a fundamental right under Article 21. Therefore, any law which is made to restrict this fundamental right will have to be examined on the touchstone of Article 21. Which means the Court will have to examine whether the law imposes reasonable restrictions on your fundamental right to privacy or not. However, so far as the present Aadhar Act is concerned, it only requires the Aadhar card to be used for Social welfare scheme and income tax.”
Responding on a query of implication of the verdict on the requirement of Bio-metric data for Aadhar Card, he said that it is not very clear what impact it would have, a smaller Supreme Court bench will soon decide whether the requirement of Bio-metric data is unconstitutional or not along with other related aspects of Aadhar law.
Similarly, other laws and restriction which involves ban, prohibition and other such restrictions are liable to be challenged on the ground of violation and infringement of the right to privacy and personal choice.
Hailing the verdict, Congress president Sonia Gandhi launched a scathing attack on the Central government. In a statement she said, “The Supreme Court judgment on ‘fundamental Right to privacy’ heralds a new era for Individual rights, personal liberty & human dignity. It strikes a blow on the unbridled encroachment & surveillance by the state & its agencies in the life of common man. The Congress Party & our government along with other opposition parties stood together, in court and in parliament, to speak out for the right to privacy & dignity of all Indian against the arrogant attempts of the present Government to curtail them.”
Visibly on the back foot, the central Government which through attorney generals argued that right to privacy is not a complete fundamental right, meanwhile, welcomed the decision. Talking to the media, Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad turned the ball into Congress court and asked, “what has been the congress record in the protection of individual liberty, I would like to know?” He specifically mentioned the widespread restrictions during emergency.
On this historical judgement, Ravi Shankar Prasad and Arun Jaitley spoke and welcomed though in low tone. However, PM Modi kept mum. He may speak tommorow in his “Mann Ki Bat” on August 26.
Who is the petitioner?
The petitioner of this writ is 92 years old retired judge of Karnataka High Court Justice K S Puttuswamy. He had first filed this case in 2012. Initially he was also against Aadhaar being made mandatory because he felt the unique ID had no function per se as it only ended up duplicating the functions of other IDs like the voter ID or PAN Card.
Justice Puttaswamy is frail due to his old age but his mind is razor sharp. He reads newspapers everyday with the help of a lens to keep himself abreast of the news. He is hard of hearing, but sound on law and legal aspects. He understands the impact of judgments and he is always eager to read up on jurisprudence.
After putting it off for a long time, Justice Puttaswamy finally registered for Aadhar a few months back when his son took him to an enrollment centre on a Sunday. “All income tax assessees need one so I had no choice. Apparently when I die and go to the cremation ground, they will ask me for Aadhar now. So I got it done. The centre was not crowded but the process still involved half an hour of waiting and 45 minutes of procedures,” he told News18.

Bill Sniffin: My Wyoming
Posted on 21 September, 2015 26 March, 2016 by wlmeditor
MY WYOMING — by Bill Sniffin
Smoky times remind of state’s worst fires
As I write this, the beautiful view of the Wind River Mountains out of my window is obscured. It is so smoky we are leaving our windows shut because it smells like a brush fire a short distance away.
In this case, that brush fire is 1,000 miles away. Northern California and parts of Oregon and Washington are burning up.
This smoke is covering up towns all over Wyoming especially in the Big Horn Basin and Wind River Basin.
It is hard to find a city or town from Cheyenne to Evanston or Powell to Gillette in which smoke has not dominated the view. At least the sunsets and sunrises have been magnificent!
Here in Lander, we enjoyed one clear day between all the smoke from the northwest to local smoke from the Little Bob fire on the Wind River Indian Reservation. They are letting it burn and it is over 1,500 acres and growing.
These ash clouds also remind of a time 27 years ago when Yellowstone National Park literally burned up. Here is what I recall of that event:
Is this hell? Or is it Yellowstone? That was my exact thought as I piloted a small, single engine airplane over the vast expanse of Yellowstone National Park the first week of September, 1988, during the horrible fires that year.
Flying with me on that day was Larry Hastings, one of the best pilots and instructors in Wyoming history. Also along and helping take photos was Mike McClure, a legend in his own right, as a premier photographer.
Both men lived in Lander. We had been talking about making this flight for some time.
It was my bright idea. We had seen TV coverage of the fire but no one seemed to have a good aerial view. I always want to figure out a way to take a big picture in the easiest way possible and flying over the park seemed the best plan.
Hastings was aware of the altitude restrictions, which caused us to be quite high as we flew over the world’s oldest national park while it was literally burning up.
The view was both impressive and unimpressive. It was impressive because as far as the eye could see was smoke. It was unimpressive because it was impossible to make out landmarks. Not even the mountains were very visible.
What was visible were a large number of hotspots where fire would shoot 200 feet in the air. It was hot down there. The park I loved was going to be changed forever.
That event two and half decades ago was unprecedented in the history of the National Park Service. There were contrasting programs of fire suppression and “controlled burns” in place, which caused the people responsible for the park’s existence to be incapable of dealing with the conflagration.
Cities and towns in a wide circle around the park enjoyed the most colorful sunsets in history. Lander, which is a two-hour drive southeast from YNP, the evening views were unprecedented. It was an awful time for folks with respiratory problems. No wind and no rain could relieve these conditions.
Fighting the fires in 1988 cost $120 million which is $230 million in today’s dollars – almost a quarter of a billion dollars. It covered some 800,000 acres or over one third of the park.
Biggest fire was the North Fork fire, which was started July 22 by a cigarette dropped by a man cutting timber in the neighboring Targhee National Forest.
One of the most amazing scenes of this fire was when embers from it were sent airborne across the massive Lewis Lake by 80 mph winds setting new fires on the other side of the lake.
This complex of fires burned 140,000 acres and was finally extinguished when some welcome rains fell later that fall.
Stories about other parts of the park and the valiant effort of more than 13,000 firefighters, 120 helicopters and other aerial devices, plus National Guard and civilians detail bravery but were to no avail. Important structures like Old Faithful Inn and the Lake Hotel were saved but efforts to stop the fires proved to be impossible.
Mother Nature wanted that fire to burn and it did until she was ready to put it out.
And that memorable day 27 years ago we were flying above a scene right out of Dante’s Inferno. I experienced a memory that I would both like to forget and yet, always recall.

FROM THE PARKS: Fourth Graders Welcome at GTNP!
Posted on 5 September, 2015 26 March, 2016 by wlmeditor
Grand Teton National Park Welcomes Fourth-Grade Students
New Program Encourages Families and Classes to Visit National Parks
MOOSE, WY — Grand Teton National Park invites all fourth-grade students to visit the park for free as part of the White House’s new Every Kid in a Park program. Fourth-grade students can visit https://www.everykidinapark.gov/ to complete an activity and obtain a voucher for a free annual entry pass to more than 2,000 federal recreation areas and lands, including national parks.
Grand Teton National Park Superintendent David Vela said, “We invite all fourth graders and their families, as well as fourth-grade classes, to the park to discover, learn and have fun.” Vela said one of the goals of the program is to connect young people with the great outdoors.
To receive a voucher for their free pass for national parks, fourth graders can visit the Every Kid in a Park website and play a game to access their special voucher. Fourth graders and their families can then obtain a pass for free entry to national parks and other federal public lands and waters across the country from now through August 31, 2016. The website also includes fun and engaging learning activities aligned to educational standards, trip planning tools, safety and packing tips and other important and helpful information for educators and parents.
In addition to providing every fourth grader in America a free entry pass for national parks and federal public lands and waters, fourth grade educators, youth group leaders and their students can participate in the program through field trips and other learning experiences.
Grand Teton National Park offers a “Weather Wonders” snow science field trip for fourth-grade classes and geology field trips in the fall and spring. The distance-learning program “Snow Desk” broadcasts live to schools around the country during the winter.
Park personnel will be at Colter Elementary in Jackson Hole to share information at the fourth-grade parents’ night on Wednesday, September 16 from 6-7 p.m. Other schools and fourth-grade teachers that are interested in the program should contact Megan Kohli at grte_education@nps.gov or call 307-739-3656.
Information about additional educational opportunities with Grand Teton National Park such as curriculum materials, field trips, traveling trunks, distance learning and more is available at http://www.nps.gov/grte/learn/education/for-teachers.htm.
The goal of the Every Kid in a Park program is to connect fourth graders with the great outdoors and inspire them to become future environmental stewards, ready to preserve and protect national parks and other public lands for years to come. The program is an important part of the National Park Service’s centennial celebration in 2016, which encourages everyone to Find Your Park.
Every Kid in a Park is a government-wide effort, launched by President Obama, and supported by eight federal agencies, including the National Park Service, the Army Corps of Engineers, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Department of Education, Fish and Wildlife Service, Forest Service, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Orvis Fly Fishing School Partnership with Snake River Sporting Club
SNAKE RIVER SPORTING CLUB AND ORVIS ANNOUNCE NEW FLY FISHING SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP
Orvis School Will Be First In Wyoming and Continues to Enhance Club Experience
January 7, 2015 (Jackson Hole, WY) – Snake River Sporting Club, Jackson Hole’s premier private club and residential community, is partnering with Orvis and Jackson Hole Fly Fishing School to host the newly launched Orvis Fly Fishing School – Jackson Hole, the renowned outfitters first such school in Wyoming. A series of 10 two-day intensive classes, combining classroom programming and “on-stream” instruction led by Orvis Fly Fishing Instructor Spencer Morton, will be open to fly fishing enthusiasts from around the globe.
Starting in July, the two-day courses run throughout Summer and Fall 2015 offering an in-depth exploration of fly fishing fundamentals and techniques, including tying essential knots, choosing gear and tackle, proper fly selection, reading water and currents and general entomology. Taking advantage of the Club’s premier and private access to six miles of Blue-Ribbon fishing on the Snake River, each student will receive an exclusive hands-on lesson with personalized attention from an expert instructor, for both beginner and expert levels. Pricing is $489.00 per student and includes use of top-notch fly fishing equipment and meals at the Snake River Sporting Club’s Clubhouse. A full schedule of school dates is available at www.orvis.com/schools.
“Jackson Hole is a hot-bed for fly fishing,” says Scott McEnaney, Orvis’ Eastern endorsed operations director. “This is Orvis’ first foray into Wyoming and we identified two great partners in Jackson Hole Fly Fishing School and Snake River Sporting Club. We are excited to host the schools at the Sporting Club— it’s the ideal location for our newest outlet.”
Just one year after reopening, Snake River Sporting Club thrives as Wyoming’s foremost outdoor adventure playground, following a multi-million dollar reinvestment plan by new ownership group, Atlanta-based Cygnus Capital. The Club now has more than 175 members who can enjoy a variety of new and updated amenities, including the completed 26,000 sq. ft. Clubhouse facility, restored Tom Weiskopf championship golf course, new Equestrian Center and a variety of outdoor sporting activities such as 3D archery, shooting clays and more. A collection of turnkey luxury cabins was completed in summer 2014 and sold within four months of hitting the market, resulting in current construction of additional real estate, per member demand.
The continued revitalization of the club filters back into the greater Jackson Hole community. One percent of annual real estate sales are donated to the Teton Education Foundation, with a total of $683,000 donated to the local organization to date. “Reinvesting back to Jackson Hole is very important to us,” says Jeff Heilbrun, general manager and chief operating officer of Snake River Sporting Club. “The partnership with Orvis is another way can serve the community, and we are proud to help bring these world-class schools to Jackson Hole and welcome a host of fishing enthusiasts in 2015.”

— Part 1: XBRL Supervisory Roll-out Guide
— Part 2: XBRL Handbook for Declarers
This CWA is one of a series of related deliverables. The other deliverables are:
CWA XBRL 001 which consists of the following parts, under the general title Improving transparency in financial and business reporting — Harmonisation topics:
— Part 1: European data point methodology for supervisory reporting.

— Part 3: European XBRL Taxonomy Architecture
— Part 4: European Filing Rules
— Part 5: Mapping between DPM and MDM
CWA XBRL 002 Improving transparency in financial and business reporting — Metadata container
This document is intended to provide guidelines to European regulators in the implementation and roll out of the reporting standard using XBRL across Europe.
The set of recommendations included in this document aim to facilitate the implementation of European National Supervisors to adopt XBRL in any of the reporting frameworks. The following sections will provide guidance on the use, understanding, preparation, and extension of their filings in eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL).
This guidance is in the form of notes in association with the pertaining requirements clause and uses the terms “should” (recommendation), “may” (allowance) and “can” (possibility). Organizations wishing to implement this CWA would be expected to consider all recommendations where the term "should" is used.
COREP, FINREP (and Solvency II or other future) XBRL taxonomies are offered to European regulators for national implementation. The first releases (2006) of the COREP and FINREP XBRL frameworks have proven that a standardized technical roll-out package is needed to increase the adoption rate and avoid implementation variances, which have a detrimental effect on the overall cross-border effectiveness of using one reporting standard. As well this roll-out guide tries to promote the economies of scale for a better adoption.

This CWA is a general guide to XBRL oriented towards national regulators on how to implement, extend and manage XBRL taxonomies. The guidance and recommendations included in this CWA have been created for regulatory filings in the context of European supervisory reporting.
In this document, “regulatory filings” encompasses authoritative financial reporting standards and generally accepted accounting principles/practices (or GAAP), regulatory reports whose subject matter is primarily financial position and performance and related explanatory disclosures, and data sets used in the collection of financial statistics; it excludes transaction- or journal-level reporting, primarily narrative reports (for example, internal controls assessments) and non-financial quantitative reports (for example, air pollution measurements).
How to start with XBRL. Supervisory Perspective
This section describes how the XBRL standard can be implemented from the regulator's perspective.
First, we present different levels of XBRL adoption, to help define the supervisor's strategy.
This is followed by a description of the minimum steps required to facilitate initial understanding of the XBRL standard, and guidelines describing the review and the likely impact on existing infrastructure and internal information systems.
Finally, we suggest additional considerations which should be taken into consideration during preparation and planning, to help regulators establish which services they need to implement to enable reporting entities to adhere to the XBRL standard. Figure 1 presents an overview of the activities described in the section.

Determine the level of XBRL adoption
Widespread adoption of XBRL as a business information exchange format has revealed a number of implementation alternatives.
Selection of a specific adoption strategy by the regulator establishes the roadmap for implementation from the regulator's current reporting framework to a framework which supports the new legislation. This step is probably the most important step in XBRL adoption.
Attending to the level of penetration (or permeability) of XBRL between the Regulator and the Filing entities the adoption can be classified in the following:
Use of XBRL solely for the electronic exchange of data between the national regulator and European Authority to comply with legislation.
Adaptation of existing reporting channels to receive XBRL reports from reporting entities as well as using XBRL for the electronic exchange of data between the national regulator and the European Authority. In this scenario, regulators could make use of automated business rules to validate data received from reporting entities.
Full exploitation of XBRL for internal reporting models (multidimensional data analysis) in addition to the use of XBRL for receiving data from reporting entities and electronic exchange between the national regulator and the European Authority as described above.
Depending on the strategy selected, the regulator must also determine which XBRL enabled software applications should be made available to their internal departments and also to reporting entities under their jurisdiction.
To name a few examples for consideration: XBRL validation, report visualization, conversion from existing data formats, filing forms, monitoring, security enforcement and versioning that will facilitate the analysis and supervision of reported information.
Plan and prepare the new reporting models
From the regulator's perspective there are two main key drivers in favour of XBRL adoption: compliance with new regulation directives and ensuring the accuracy of data reported by reporting entities.
Compliance with new regulation directives implies the adequacy of the reporting business models and rules to the XBRL language and semantics to be implemented.
The most important requirement for financial supervision reporting is data accuracy. Reported data, for legal reasons, is expected to be:
accurate for arithmetic purposes;
calculated accurately based on the required definition;
preserved during the data transfer process.
It is also a good idea to plan and prepare the adaptation of all data requirements. For this, the regulator needs to learn and understand the following topics:
XBRL basics – terminology, syntax and structure;
how the data models correspond to the business model and semantic rules into XBRL syntactic schemas and filers forms that define reporting data. Consider information requirements which could have causes additional issues to be solved in the modelling architecture.
Many are approaching as compliance requirements driven by a new reporting directive. An alternative approach is considering XBRL adoption as a technology evolution of current reporting systems to take advantage of this standard and reap the benefits of a standardised electronic exchange format.
In general, successful XBRL implementations usually do not change the business models, just the report format resulting in a transparent use of XBRL to the end users.
It is specially recommended to apply a structured methodology for data modelling. On this topic the Eurofiling architecture approach is proposing a methodology on normalization called Data Point Modelling. This will be introduced later in Section 5, but mainly consists of defining a method to model dictionary data, their aspects and relationships in terms of domains and hierarchies, business validation rules and the corresponding classifications of the data in different tables and forms for filing and visualization (figure 2).
Figure 2: DPM process and XBRL relationship
[SOURCE: Abstract description of the model represented in taxonomies following the DPM approach]
How this data inherited from the European frameworks fits into the national reporting model. Study if the current information models for reporting entities have more disclosures or information. In case more detailed information is required, knowledge on the extension of European taxonomies is needed. This will be detailed in Section 4.
In order to select the most appropriate XBRL strategy, the regulator should consider the relevant answers to the questions below that will help to address reporting decisions:
How many different reporting templates do we need to receive from reporting entities?
What is the frequency of this reporting information? Quarterly, semi-annually, annually?
What is the minimum reporting unit of information expected to receive (one template, one module, one table, one fact, other)?
What is the profile of reports (minimum and maximum size expected) to be received keeping a margin of security for processing?
What response time is needed to process received reporting information?
Will it be allowed partial submissions? Or will all data need to be reported in full?
What is the minimum precision accepted for data?
Will it be allowed for reports to be re-submitted if the reporting entity wishes to submit an amendment? Will It be placed any deadlines for receipt of any amendments?
Review existing reception infrastructure
From an IT perspective, regulators will have the opportunity to review their current receipt and transmission infrastructure with their reporting entities to incorporate the new reporting standard to their channels:
If regulator has well established data collection mechanisms in place, it will be necessary to adapt these mechanisms to accept XBRL instance documents, including additional workflows (submit and feedback loops) for the validation of header information and XBRL validation (following recommendations documented in “CEN WS XBRL CWA2 as valuable initiatives to take into consideration).
Specific items likely to require IT review:
Select a new system or adapt if necessary an existing system for receiving reports from reporting entities and sending acknowledge messages and validation report results from regulator (transmission channel): web secure portal upload, email secure SMTP, web service secure integration submission, cloud portal, etc.,
Select, reuse or adapt the security methods to maintain confidentiality, integrity, authenticity, non-repudiation (following recommendations documented in CEN WS CWA2 related to digital signature and use of certificates)
Select which additional services could be provided as part of the submission protocol from reporting entities to national regulator, for example tracking or monitoring submitted reports, visualization of XBRL instances, pre-validation including formulae[4] which defining regulatory requirements, display the specific data set (templates) that each reporting entity is expected to fulfil, etc.
Review internal information systems
Regulators who elect to adopt XBRL for internal information systems will need to consider how to adapt existing systems for XBRL integration and data analysis.
All national regulators across Europe are responsible for defining their local regulation and communicating with their reporting entities. Existing, internal systems vary significantly between national regulators and some will need to adapt more than others to meet the new European directives. The purpose of this section is to establish a common set of high level guidelines based on current best practices that could apply for the internal use of XBRL in regulatory reporting to help realise the benefits of using a standard method of data exchange across Europe.
The European framework and the XBRL International abstract model version 2.0 provide a clear method to enable consistent definition of business information. Aligning the adaptation of internal systems with align those methodologies is foreseen as the key to driving better regulatory practice across Europe.
Making use of automated business-rule validation on reported data will help to assure high quality data and reduces the processing time associated with manual checks allowing more time to analyse and dedicate to analysis real supervisory activity. The creation of data-warehouses based on XBRL taxonomy frameworks and models will facilitate access to reporting information through the different perspectives of regulatory reporting (compliance, risk, prudency, transparency).
In conclusion, adapting internal systems to work with XBRL reporting carries several advantages:
full utilisation of the multi-dimensional data models and XBRL frameworks provided by European authorities, allowing use of OLAP-enabled databases and exploit this information for integration and analysis and regulatory activity using business intelligence tools;
reuse and take advantage of native XBRL formula validation across multiple reporting documents to ensure the quality and consistency of the data submitted by the reporting entities saving time and effort in the process using multi-instance sub-module of the specification.
Prepare the communication plan for Reporting Entities
Once the regulator has defined all reporting requirements and project plan to adapt information systems to support the exchange of reporting information using XBRL, it will be required to establish a clear plan for communicating the new regulatory process to reporting Entities.
This communication need to cover several steps to be actions taken by the national regulator to involve their main reporting entities as early as possible to ensure a smooth transition to new processes and new technology in the process normative.
We recommend that national regulators hold periodic plenary sessions with the reporting entities under their jurisdiction to facilitate successful communication about XBRL adoption and implementation roadmap. Example content could include:
communicating the perimeter of the new recommendations;
presenting a technical overview of XBRL taxonomy frameworks and the DPM methodology used;
presenting how to reduce the impact on current data exchange processes with reporting entities;
communication of expected timelines for compliance.
Other successful XBRL programs around the globe have found it beneficial to create an "Early Adopters" program between the national regulatory Authority and a reduced number of major reporting entities. The “Early Adopters” program can be used to set up an initial proof of concept for XBRL reporting exchange and facilitate the success of a full rollout.
The main benefits of an “Early Adopters” program are:
to refine the process in the receipt and acknowledgement of XBRL reports;
to enable the reporting entities to study the new requirements, to analyse any potential impact in their business models, to realise the estimation effort required and develop or adapt their IT systems to support XBRL;
to test the performance of services deployed by the national regulator in terms of processing, security enforcement, integrating, analysing and validating XBRL reports.
During this section the regulatory supervisor has been able to introduce all the topics required to establish a roadmap to adapt their systems and plan the new reporting information system to rollout.
How to implement and extend XBRL taxonomies
One of the key challenges faced by regulators when adopting the XBRL standard is to fit the reporting requirements set by European frameworks and directives into existing national supervisory and compliance processes.
In most of the cases, the flexibility of the XBRL standard will allow the national supervisor to fulfil both requirements. Mechanisms to implement and extend taxonomies are likely to vary from one to another.
The objective of this section is to provide a set of guidelines to facilitate a harmonized approach to XBRL implementation collected from previous national XBRL adoptions across Europe.
The main objectives in regulatory reporting are: maintain data accuracy, data transparency, regulatory compliance and process interoperability.
European Framework background information
The scope of this section focuses on the European framework for regulatory reporting. Under this context, there are currently two major European Authorities that will drive the application of a harmonized reporting using XBRL. And therefore will address the corresponding recommendations in terms of implementation and extension of taxonomies for regulatory supervisors:
Taxonomy frameworks of the European Banking Authority (EBA): COREP and FINREP;
Taxonomy framework of the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) for Solvency II.
Figure 3 — European Taxonomy Frameworks Diagram
These two authorities have been developing XBRL implementations which form the basis of the European frameworks pillars for supervisory reporting (Basel II, Solvency II and Financial Statements).
Eurofiling initiative is an open collaboration between groups of experts, including regulatory reporting experts from EBA, EIOPA, XBRL Europe and other volunteers working on a common project to collect the regulatory reporting practice across Europe. The cross-sector definitions common to Solvency II, COREP and FINREP is most likely to be defined in the [1] namespace and location.
National regulators will use the taxonomies defined by these authorities to implement their regulatory reporting process in accordance with national law and EU directives.
In terms of XBRL implementation those National adoption will represent the third namespace owner for reporting (covering the national GAAP)1 as shown in figure 4 below.
Figure 4 — National Supervisor Regulatory Extension Diagram
Table 1 shows an example on the owners and namespaces and owner prefixes for the used to establish the institution that defines the different concepts to be reported in the corresponding models.
Table 1 — Owner namespaces and prefixes example
[SOURCE: EBA Representation in XBRL of the Data Point Model]
Another example on use is the EIOPA Solvency II XBRL Preparatory Taxonomy where we can find a similar use of cross-sector definitions on EuroFiling owner namespace differentiated from EIOPA institution as owner of solvency II concept definitions:
Table 2 — Example of owner Namespaces, prefixes and official locations
[SOURCE: EIOPA Solvency II XBRL Preparatory Taxonomy]
The use of different levels of reporting definitions identified by the use of owner, namespace, prefix and location, provides a proper method to harmonize the use of definitions and concept frameworks across Europe. For technical details on taxonomy architecture nomenclature refer to CEN Agreement document CWA1.
XBRL Standard extension Mechanism
XBRL is extensible. This means that the set of concepts defined in a taxonomy framework can be reused in local taxonomies using the import tag mechanism inherited from XML Schema definition of taxonomies as the next figure 5 illustrates:
Figure 5: Import tag mechanism
In the example of the figure 5 is shown the local national taxonomy schema es-be-rp22.xsd is using the concepts defined in the European taxonomy framework COREP extending the XSD schema defined in www.c-ebs.org for the t-c1-2006-07-01.xsd schema
It is important to notice that when a taxonomy extends another schema using the xsd:import mechanism all the inherited concepts to be used in the local taxonomy schema are referred with the corresponding namespace (in this example the c-ebs namespace indicated that could be assigned to a concrete namespace prefix to shorten and be used along the relationships and local definitions (table rendering, formula assertions, dimension relationships, etc.)
One of the recommendations when extending taxonomies is to fully qualify the schema location URL for the taxonomy resource we are extending, instead of using a local copy or a relative location.
Guideline for creating extension taxonomies
A national regulator extending one of the European Framework taxonomies should take into account the following set of basic principles to facilitate efficient regulatory oversight, consistency of supervision and reduction of redundant data collection:
Simplicity of the reporting process: the resulting regulatory taxonomy architecture must focus on simplification of instance document creation.
Stability: the application of the regulatory taxonomy architecture must minimize the impact of changes resulting from amendments to consuming systems.
Consistency: the framework under the regulatory taxonomy architecture must be consistent in design and the taxonomies must be coherent and explicit.
Compliance with specifications, best practices and related taxonomies: the regulatory taxonomy architecture must conform as much as possible to the approaches inherited from related projects (Level 1 and Level 2).
Maintainability: the regulatory taxonomy architecture framework must be easy for supervisors to maintain.
Performance: the application of the regulatory taxonomy architecture should result in other technical advantages including reduced size of instance documents, better performance in processing (e.g. DTS loading, validation),
Review and avoid duplicate redefinition of concepts. When extending existing taxonomy frameworks one of the common practices is to redefine a concept that does not match the local definition exactly. This practice should be avoided as far as possible to reduce complexity in the final framework aggregation. The current modularization of taxonomy frameworks and well documented metrics and aspects of the model allows a better adaptation to local redefinitions instead of building a new set of duplicated concepts for local purposes.
Avoid redefinition of extended templates. One of the lessons learned from early versions of European frameworks is that the extension mechanism to prohibit relationships or dimension definitions (grey cells not allowed for extended reporting templates) at the end is not a good practice in terms of taxonomy complexity and maintainability. In cases where the reporting template in a local extension is different the recommended approach is to define a new reporting template reusing as many of the existing concepts, metrics, relationships and aspects of the base taxonomy and then compound the concrete local aggregations, table, rendering and views.
As a summary the extensions should take into consideration the following high level guidelines:
reduction of redundant or duplicate definitions;
standardization, simplification;
reduced information friction to facilitate (more) continuous monitoring and audit of controls;
consistency of regulatory supervision;
facilitate efficient regulatory oversight;
maintain the coherence and consistency of the base taxonomy model.
Architecture, Methodology and Best Practices
Some reference documents that regulators should consider reading are:
"An Architecture for European XBRL Taxonomies" (EXTA [1]) where a description in the followingtopics is described:
supporting concepts (Owner, Model supporting schema, Namespaces);
public elements;
dictionary of concepts (Metrics, Dimensions, Families, Perspectives, Domains, Explicit domain[2] members and hierarchies );
reporting requirements layer (Frameworks, Taxonomies, Tables, Modules, Validation rules);
"Data Point Modelling Methodology" (DPM Methodology [2])"
"Abstract description of the model represented in taxonomies following the DPM approach" (Abstract Model 2.0 [3])
"Comparison of Conceptual, Logical and Physical models vs. the Data Point Modelling" (Comparison DPM [4])
This section will introduce regulators to the current design techniques and implementation approach used to represent financial models defined by European Regulators. It is important to become familiar with the terminology used in the European XBRL Architecture and Data Point Modelling Methodology, as these will be the base of best practice recommendations in terms of creating financial models based on European regulatory frameworks.
XBRL Abstract Model version 2.0: defines the reference to understand and better design in a separate and consistent form the financial and business models and rules that conforms the aspects, concepts, relationships and formulae of the information to be modelled. Introduce an important decoupling vision for business reporting chain that enables design, architecture and implementation of XBRL.
Data Point Model, also known as DPM Methodology: A set of guidelines, based on a long track record in regulatory reporting modelling, describing methods for the definition and identification of the data exchanged in reporting frameworks. It establishes a systematic method to represent and describe the data to be reported. Using a data centric approach where properties are assigned to defined ‘data points’, including all their semantic aspects and relationships to give precision to their meaning.
XBRL Architecture: based on the dictionary of concepts modelled previously, this defines the set of technical definitions and rules that will enable the implementation of the model using the XBRL standard language in the reporting systems. This architecture should be used as a reference to ensure common practice across implementations to enable interoperable, consistent and harmonized reporting. To achieve this goal the architecture is intended to provide a set of definitions with a concrete structure to implement the model. It is intended to be flexible and open enough, based on previous XBRL implementation for European financial reporting framework versions, giving conventions in the way to implement the concrete frameworks.
Context for a Reference Architecture
XBRL standard has been adopted in Financial Supervisory Reporting
Public and Private Financial Statements for National Regulators extending COREP and FINREP taxonomy frameworks are in place in several countries across Europe.
National financial statements using GAAP taxonomy definitions based on IFRS reporting.
All these initiatives have required several changes in their current IT systems to integrate XBRL.
Lack of Native XBRL treatment XBRL considered as a format ignoring the semantic information provided by the XBRL taxonomies.
Architectures on Distributed Systems have been established during last 10 years
Service Oriented Architectures enable modular implementation in the Architecture Stack.
There are several Layers in the reference Reporting Architecture to decouple the external reporting reception with the internal processing and analytic systems:
security Layer;
front End and reception layer;
middle Processing and XBRL treatment Layer;
Integration and Analytic Layer.
Steps for implementation
Launch an internal Proof of Concept project. Benefits:
Appropriate to evaluate XBRL requirements, functional services and technical processing capabilities to implement and adapt the information systems.
It will enable a proper feedback on results for designing the different processes to build.
Extend the reporting XBRL PoC to the architecture layers:
Design the Functional Architecture and their modules.
Review current product market status in XBRL processing, validation and reporting tools.
Identify Information systems where to extract, collect, validate, receive or analyze the reporting information.
Review the performance requirement on current implementation vs. XBRL PoC results.
Identify the interfaces and transformations to be completed to current data information (messaging, data models, validations to run, storage and exploit systems, etc.).
XBRL Technical Architecture definition. Adapt and deploy the different technical architecture to support XBRL reporting process:
Define how to process XBRL information (natively using processors, products or tools, direct programming transformations building custom components, other, etc.).
Adapt Development Environment: Integration tools for development teams to provide taxonomy editors/viewers, XBRL Processor for validation and formula editing, APIs to extract and compose data reported to the current integration components to exploit the information).
Define or adapt Methodology for XBRL development and deployment.
Define or adapt XBRL Process and Services catalogue to orchestrate the XBRL component execution in current integrated systems (different operational flows for XBRL reception, validation, storage and integration on Data Warehouse).
Deploy XBRL components packaged with other infrastructure and security services (certificate, signature, reporting management policies, etc.) including performance designs.
XBRL Reference Architecture
According to The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF2)) architecture lifecycle (figure 6), a XBRL reference Architecture is a concrete specialization of The Open Group distributed Architecture in which services have been implemented to cover the functionalities of the reporting chain.
Figure 6 — TOGAF Architecture Lifecycle diagram
[SOURCE: commons.wikimedia.org TOGAF ADM (Architecture Development Method) - The Open Group]
The information presented in this document and the reference documentation indicated at the beginning of the section will provide background information to help regulators to establish the goals of Preliminary phase and steps A and B in the lifecycle illustrated above.
The following section focus on steps C and D to complete the reference architecture for XBRL implementations, based on best practice across Europe.
Functional Architecture
For national regulators the Functional Architecture is the first step in designing the building blocks where the architecture layers will be implemented.
The reporting cycle between parties will drive the different modules to be implemented. A typical set of functions could be:
Interface with Reporting Entities
Submit and receipt module
Receipt of XBRL Reporting Data
Consistency checking of reported information (XBRL valid 2.1) [1]
Reporting Entities Front Services
Report follow up and status management
Auxiliary services (visualization, taxonomy repository reference, form filling application)
Data Reporting Treatment
Data Validation Module
XBRL advanced validation (formula, rules, and additional data compliance)
Error and validation results reporting communication
Data consumption and integration processes
Post process data information
Permanent record and storage on back office systems
Analyst Information Services
Preparation of data for internal reporting systems
Integrate in Business Intelligence systems implemented in Data Warehouses (DW) and / or DataMarts (DM)
Expectation Handling
Messages sent to late filers
Confirm all expected set of data have been received
Monitoring and Statistics
According to the Functional architecture defined, the Technical reference architecture should at least enable decoupling reporting entities services from middleware data treatment components and the backend repositories and systems:
Multi-channel reception
Access security services
Middleware Processing Services
Dedicated components and frameworks to process, validate and treat the reported data
XBRL Repository (taxonomies and reports are stored, cached and retrieved to support )
Platform dependent components to trace, secure, transform, adapt, route and integrate.
Backend Systems Integration
Messaging and Integration services
To transform, adapt, convert and store into the different systems:
Corporate BackOffice
Data Warehouse systems (DW)
Relational Data Base Management Systems (RDBMS)
Department systems
An Enterprise Service Bus with adaptors and connectors to internal systems
Analytic Packages and Business Intelligence Tools
Prepare and Post process data information
As a summary, the figure 7 illustrates an overview diagram with the typical technical components and services that make up an XBRL Technical Architecture of Reference.
Figure 7 — XBRL Technical Architecture of Reference Overview
The specific implementation technology selected for these services is fully dependent on each National Supervisor Authority (NSA), and out of the scope of these guidelines.
Our recommendation is to invest enough time during the preparation phase to select specific technologies for each service, to determine the optimal solution in terms of products, tools or custom development frameworks and their functional coverage. As a good practice to ensure the success of the solution, we recommend creating a Proof of Concept (PoC) during the preparation phase to verify appropriate technology integration, performance and service quality that is required for the operational system, and allow time for refinement of the initial design.
The evolution of this reference architecture is foreseen as distribute computing resources to process data using better computing capacities and storage facilities to optimize by scaling these resources. Several rising technologies like cloud computing and big data analytics are establishing new environments to process and find new correlation on collected information. Those technical architectures oriented towards separation of services implementation are better prepared to be evolved to these new technologies with less effort and investment. According to the TOGAF lifecycle we have introduced the initial steps for XBRL Architecture definition in National Supervisors.
The next steps for the regulator will be to identify the concrete service implementation according to their needs.
Management and maintainability
This section describes how regulators should approach maintenance and management of taxonomy frameworks supporting regulatory reporting in XBRL. It explains taxonomy lifecycle and other relevant concepts.
XBRL taxonomies3 define and represent the final format for the exchange of financial information between reporting entities and regulators. The taxonomies implements the model defined at a business level. Therefore, any change to normative regulation is likely to require an update to the definitions in the taxonomy.
The nature of these changes could be caused mainly by adding new reporting templates or requirements, or by making adjustments or corrections to the existing model, or other causes related to re-implement with a better adequacy to XBRL standard recommendation updates (generic linkbase, formula recommendation, table linkbase), etc.,
All these changes will need to be reflected in an updated version of the taxonomy framework, i.e. the set of files and resources (called Discoverable Taxonomy Set or DTS) that defines the XBRL reporting systems.
All regulators using XBRL should follow a set of best practices to successfully handle taxonomy updates and should also take into consideration the correct synchronization and communication of these versions and changes to their reporting entities.
Publish the normative taxonomy framework
Firstly, the normative taxonomies must be published.
The European National Supervisor should provide a public repository (website accessible by default) which provides access to the latest taxonomy framework version. This would facilitate to their reporting entities to access all files required to prepare the XBRL reports (enable the software applications to check, validate and process the XBRL taxonomy frameworks)
One topic that needs harmonization across Europe is to coordinate the different XBRL European reporting taxonomy frameworks and their public repositories and location.
Currently there are national supervisor is providing a local copy of the European taxonomy for their national extensions.
Our recommendation is to refer to each authority’s repository (website by default) to find the normative taxonomy framework documents (for example Eurofiling for common schemas, EBA for COREP and FINREP, EIOPA for Solvency II. National regulators should host local taxonomy extensions on their own national repository (website)...
Using this approach will facilitate the reporting entities to collect and use all corresponding resources for a given taxonomy framework. So the XBRL processing components can retrieve the set of Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) that build up the Discoverable Taxonomy Set (DTS) to be reported.
Figure 8 illustrates an example of the banking area of domain localization for European taxonomy frameworks:
Figure 8: Repository taxonomy example Diagram
Taxonomy Cache Mechanism
Most reporting systems based on XBRL rely on obtaining a local copy of all distributed resources that conform to the taxonomy framework in their repositories on the Internet, in order to process the information models and to validate the data created in their reporting systems offline.
It is good practice to use this cache mechanism from several European taxonomy frameworks in the processing software to gain in efficiency and performance for the reporting applications and systems.
The following recommendations for taxonomy caching should be considered:
National regulators should publish in their website detailed information for the latest version of their extension taxonomy created. This information should include: Links to previous versions and the dates for which they were in use, schema file names and namespaces, URLs of published documents, date and versions of taxonomy resources for the local national extension and references to the external European authority resources and common definitions.
The reporting entity should use software capable of to retrieve all files in the corresponding Discoverable Taxonomy Sets (DTSs) to check if the cached version stored in the local copy corresponds to the last one published by the national supervisor in order to process XBRL reports.
Annex A (informative)
Eurofiling
The Eurofiling project is an open joint initiative of the European Banking Authority (EBA) and the European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) in collaboration with XBRL Europe, as well as stakeholders as banks, solutions providers, academics and individuals. Eurofiling's main contributions are Data Models, XBRL taxonomies, know-how and documentation for Supervisory Frameworks: COREP, FINREP and Solvency II.
European System of Financial Supervisors (ESFS)
Before and during the financial crisis in 2007 and 2008, the European Parliament has called for a move towards more integrated European supervision in order to ensure a true level playing field for all actors at the level of the European Union and to reflect the increasing integration of financial markets in the Union. As a result, the supervisory framework was strengthened to reduce risk and severity of future financial crises. The European System of Financial Supervisors comprises three European Supervisory Authorities, one for the banking sector (EBA), one for the securities sector (European Securities and Markets Authority, ESMA) and one for the insurance and occupational pensions sector (EIOPA), as well as the European Systemic Risk Board4 .
European Banking Authority (EBA)5)
The European Banking Authority (EBA) is an independent EU Authority which works to ensure effective and consistent prudential regulation and supervision across the European banking sector. Its overall objectives are to maintain financial stability in the EU and to safeguard the integrity, efficiency and orderly functioning of the banking sector.
The main task of the EBA is to contribute to the creation of the European Single Rulebook in banking whose objective is to provide a single set of harmonised prudential rules for financial institutions throughout the EU. The Authority also plays an important role in promoting convergence of supervisory practices and is mandated to assess risks and vulnerabilities in the EU banking sector.
The EBA was established on 1 January 2011 as part of the European System of Financial Supervision (ESFS) and took over all existing responsibilities and tasks of the Committee of European Banking Supervisors.
COREP and FINREP
To achieve a high level of harmonization and strong convergence in regular supervisory reporting requirements, the EBA has been developing guidelines on supervisory reporting with the aim of setting up a supervisory reporting model with common data definitions. The Guidelines on Financial Reporting cover consolidated and sub-consolidated financial reporting for supervisory purposes based on IAS/IFRS (International Accounting Standards/International Financial Reporting Standard) as endorsed by the European Union. The original Guidelines on FINREP were issued by the Committee of European Banking Supervisors (CEBS) in December 2005. Agreed changes in IFRS were incorporated into the latest FINREP V1 published in December 2009.
Due to Capital Requirements Regulation under CRD IV, further major changes to the accounting standards which will impact COREP and FINREP during 2013. The revised COREP and FINREP Taxonomy is expected to be published by the end of 2013 to take into account the new Implementation Technical Standard of these requirements.
European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA)6)
The European Insurance and Occupational Pensions Authority (EIOPA) was established in consequence of the reforms to the structure of supervision of the financial sector in the European Union. The reform was initiated by the European Commission, following the recommendations of a Committee of Wise Men, chaired [5] by Mr. de Larosière, and supported by the European Council and Parliament.
EIOPA’s main goals are:
better protecting consumers, rebuilding trust in the financial system;
ensuring a high, effective and consistent level of regulation and supervision taking account of the varying interests of all Member States and the different nature of financial institutions;
greater harmonisation and coherent application of rules for financial institutions & markets across the European Union;
strengthening oversight of cross-border groups;
promote coordinated European Union supervisory response.
EIOPA’s core responsibilities are to support the stability of the financial system, transparency of markets and financial products as well as the protection of policyholders, pension scheme members and beneficiaries. EIOPA is commissioned to monitor and identify trends, potential risks and vulnerabilities stemming from the micro-prudential level, across borders and across sectors.
EIOPA is an independent advisory body to the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission.
SOLVENCY II7)
The Solvency II Directive 2009/138/EC is an EU Directive that codifies and harmonises the EU insurance regulation. Primarily this concerns the amount of capital that EU insurance companies must hold to reduce the risk of insolvency.
Once the Omnibus II directive is approved by the European Parliament, Solvency II will be scheduled to come 8)9) into effect.

HomeNewsLibrariesHomes offer lifeline in battle against addiction
Homes offer lifeline in battle against addiction
Wiltshire Council has opened a pioneering centre for residents who are in treatment for, or recovering from, substance misuse. Rothermere, in Trowbridge, is the first place in Wiltshire to combine supported housing with treatment facilities.
This integrated unit allows client access to the help they need in one place, including advice on health and finding work. The residential flat features five single bedrooms, with a shared kitchen and bathroom.
Jerry Wickham, Wiltshire Council cabinet member for public health, said: "We are very proud of this centre which will offer protection, safety and a helping hand to individuals who are getting their lives back on track.
"Our substance misuse supported housing units offer an enormous contribution to the lives of residents, giving hope and help when it is most needed.
"Wiltshire Council is committed to protecting vulnerable members of the community and Rothermere is a brilliant example of how this is being implemented. Effective partnership working with multiple stakeholders has made this project such a success."
Rothermere forms part of IMPACT, the Swindon and Wiltshire Active Recovery Service, run by Turning Point, which launched on 3 April. The service will focus on prevention, accessibility, collaboration with partners and treatment to try to reduce substance misuse across Wiltshire and Swindon and support those who need it. The model will invest in outreach work to combat the rural challenges of Wiltshire.
Natalie Travis from Turning Point, the health and social care provider which is running the treatment service at the centre, said:"The new IMPACT Active Recovery Service covers Wiltshire and Swindon with hubs in Salisbury, Swindon and Rothermere in Trowbridge. Groups and sessions also take place in a range of community venues such as GP surgeries and community centres.
"Our new location at Rothermere enables us to deliver more joined-up services for people in recovery particularly those with the most complex needs. We are particularly excited about working with The Nelson Trust to make the service as accessible as possible for women with drug and alcohol issues.
"We are already experiencing the benefit of multiple organisations working together under one roof."
The Swindon and Wiltshire Police and Crime Commissioner has helped fund IMPACT, and is a firm supporter of the Rothermere project.
PCC Angus Macpherson said: "Addiction to drugs and alcohol can have a devastating impact on both the users and their loved ones and lead to crime and anti-social behaviour, adding to the demands made on police and the courts.
"I am proud to have joined with our council partners to commission Turning Point to provide the new IMPACT service to help people to overcome their addictions. The hubs in Trowbridge, Swindon and Salisbury will offer a real chance of recovery for service users across the county.
"The Trowbridge hub offers an imaginative mix of treatment and supported living to aid recovery. I wish the team there every success."
Peter Denning, chief executive of Julian House, the homeless charity which is managing the flats at Rothermere, said: "We are delighted to be involved in support of Rothermere.
"The combination of services working together to support clients is a great example of partnership working and will provide a much needed facility in Wiltshire.
"It is great to see a forgotten building in Trowbridge having a new purpose with a high quality refurbishment. Wiltshire Council have done a great job of bringing everything together ready to provide a supportive and life-changing environment."
Ian Keasey, health and wellbeing programme manager at Public Health England, said: "PHE is pleased to support Rothermere and to see the launch of this new facility which was funded by a PHE capital grant.
"We welcome the opportunity to come together with a range of organisations in a bespoke hub to support people suffering issues with alcohol and drugs, and give them the opportunity to overcome their problems and sustain recovery."
The centre was officially opened by Cllr Wickham at a plaque-unveiling ceremony.

You Know This is a Story (Murdering US Citizens) the White House Wants Buried When…
September 28, 2010 in 2012 Election, Barack Obama, Bush administration, civil rights, Democrats, Ethics, George W. Bush, Media, Montana, U.S. Constitution
By @CarFreeStpdty
… you have to result to finding news from an Australian news site, the World Socialist Web Site, and a Rusian news station – see, Obama can’t be a socialist because the real socialists still left in this world hate him just about as much as they hated G.W.
CIA director Leon Panetta filed a legal brief to stop a lawsuit filed by the ACLU against the federal government challenging its acquired taste for assassinating its own citizens. The administration doesn’t want the lawsuit to go through because… well… it would be embarrassing, potentially damaging leading into the elections, and challenge the extra-legal authorities of the Imperialist Presidency. Already the State Department is attempting to invoke “States Secrets” as a defense against the lawsuit. Arguing that the judicial branch has no authority here and that the Administration can act as judge, jury, and executioner… and assertion perhaps more egregious than almost anything Obama’s predecessor pulled off. Amy Goodman featured the story as the top headline on Monday’s show here.
The story first developed when details became available that an American citizen, Anwar Al-Awlaki, wound up on a CIA hit list for materially supporting terrorism. This got a little play in the MM and a small snippet here by Duganz, but basically it was quickly forgotten by most Americans because we all assume he’s guilty . I mean just look at him, those beady little eyes, his un-American clothing, and a name slow-talking Midwesterners can’t wrap their tongues around. I’m not defending any of his actions, because well, he’s a bearded douche. Just do a Google video search for more videos like this where he openly calls on American Muslims to participate in Jihad against their own country. While his words hold a great deal of inconvinient and sad truth, an examination of his motives would be for another post.
No, the real story is this seemingly final stride we are taking as a nation into the abyss of police statedom, an abyss nations do not come back from. No matter how big of a douche this man is he is still an American citizen, born in America and so entitled to all the rights that any other Amiercan citizen is afforded. And even if his actions and words constitute treason, which they probably do, treasonous people still get trials. But now we have the development that the administration is actively engaging in “targeted killings,” of US citizens overseas, a policy that Director of National Intelligence, Dennis Blair, openly admitted all the way back in February.
“…he was speaking publicly about the issue to reassure Americans that intelligence agencies and the Department of Defense “follow a set of defined policy and legal procedures that are very carefully observed” in the use of lethal force against U.S. citizens.”
“We don’t target people for free speech.”
I feel reassured… don’t you? It’s good to know they have a process for this type of thing, so that some bearded hipster doesn’t get mistaken for an anti-American Muslim cleric.
You know he's a patriotic American by the PBR pride he's displaying
G.W., with the collusion of Democrats, already effectively killed habeas corpus with the PATRIOT Act way back in 2001 so we’ve had a full nine years to get accustomed to our rights getting violated on a regular basis. Now they have a process so that they don’t kill the wrong American talking about the evils of American policies. At least Bush had the decency to try and give the American people a credible cover-up scandal when his administration violated the Constitution and international law. Now instead of Bush hiding his hubris behind a half-cocked smirk we have the Obama administration upfront stating that they just took a steamer on the Constitution and wiped with the Declaration of Independence. I guess that is Change We Can Believe In©, instead of an administration that spits in our coffee and then mixes it in before being served we now have one that spits directly in our face as we try to order.
Former Reagan Administration Official, Paul Craig Roberts says it better than I can…
Yes, the U.S. government has murdered its citizens, but Dennis Blair’s “defined policy” is a bold new development. The government, of course, denies that it intended to kill the Branch Davidians, Randy Weaver’s wife and child, or the Black Panthers. The government says that Waco was a terrible tragedy, an unintended result brought on by the Branch Davidians themselves. The government says that Ruby Ridge was Randy Weaver’s fault for not appearing in court on a day that had been miscommunicated to him. The Black Panthers, the government says, were dangerous criminals who insisted on a shoot-out.
And again here on Russia Today. Oh how far our press has sunk that a former Reaganite has to go on a Russian news program to openly talk about the injustices our government commits, not to mention that the irony is thick enough to choke on.
Add on top of this last weeks FBI raid against anti-war protesters with “terror links” and other preemptive raids on activists and all hope seems to just drain out of me. Back in the good old days Democrats would at a minimum feign disgust and outrage at situations like this, at least until our short American attention spans turned our heads in a different direction. So lets all just go back to bashing the Tea Party and fighting over where specific houses of worship can be built and pretend like this is still America.
Alan Foos
Wow. The first intelligent post I’ve ever seen on this site. Thank you.
Coming from you, Foos, I’m not totally sure that’s a compliment.
jhwygirl
Don’t worry. He got it right this time.
Not necessarily the first intelligent post (I hope not) but certainly a great one.
Is this part of the Obama administation’s effort to suppress Democratic voters? I just don’t get it. They can’t be this dumb!
CFS, did you sneak in a self portrait? ;-)
Unfortunately I’m still working on filling in my chin beard… I did not get the hairy ape gene passed down to me.
Pogo Possum
Careful CFS. People will start accusing you of being a member of the Tea Party. :-)

It’s a hard line with MR. Anwar Al-Awlaki. He does make threats, and claps for dead Americans, but killing him? It’s frightening that we’re at a point in time when the American government is stripping people of their rights and readying to kill them.
It starts here, with someone we can all agree is a bad human being. But where does it end?
it ends badly.

Newspaper Pulls Syndicated Cartoon Following Profane Insult Aimed At Trump
posted by Bill Galluccio - Feb 11, 2019
A Pennsylvania newspaper has decided to scrap a syndicated comic after a reader pointed out that the three-panel strip contained a profane insult aimed at President Donald Trump. Sunday’s “Non Sequitur” cartoon had a hidden message at the bottom of one of the panels which read: “We fondly say go f*** yourself to Trump.”
The Butler Eagle’s publisher and general manager, Ron Vodenichar, apologized to his paper's readers and said that even if his editors had noticed the inappropriate language they would not have had the opportunity to edit the strip before publication.
“We apologize that such a disgusting trick was perpetrated on the reading public. The Butler Eagle will discontinue that comic immediately,” he said.
Vodenichar told the Pittsburgh City Paper that the decision to pull the syndicated comic was not political.
"It has nothing to do with Trump," he said. "Butler Eagle does not publish the F word in our family publication, and it was deceitful to try to hide it the cartoon."

Tuesday 14 October in Antwerp: AAL beats off stiff competition from the world’s top carriers to WIN top honors ‘Shipping Line of the Year 2019’ at the inaugural Heavy Lift Awards, organised by HLPFI. Congratulations to everyone involved in a great night for the company and to all those working for AAL worldwide, on land and sea!
This latest honour for AAL comes in the same year that we beat stiff competition to retain the Asian Freight, Logistics and Supply Chain Award (AFLAS), ‘Best Shipping Line – Project Cargo’, that was presented in Hong Kong.

Additional W-Class vessels join AAL’s fleet, representing 133,000 dwt / 156,000 cbm of additional capacity for its customers and further differentiating the carrier’s niche project cargo offering and strong position within the MPP sector.
Specialist breakbulk and project heavy lift carrier AAL is expanding its multipurpose fleet with the addition of a number of modern and highly adaptive Warnow-Class (W-Class) 33,271 dwt ‘mega-size’ vessels. Representing 133,000 dwt / 156,000 cbm of additional capacity for AAL’s customers, the new vessels boost AAL’s operating tonnage to just shy of 740,000 dwt (excluding short term time charters) and strengthen its unique global customer offering and position as one of the sector’s largest and most service-driven carriers.
The vessels, four in total, will join AAL’s fleet from October and, alongside additional W-Class tonnage already employed in the fleet and multiple other MPV classes, they will boost the carrier’s global coverage, providing additional capacity on such important trades as: Asia – Australia; Asia – Middle East – Europe; and Asia – North America.
Large, modern and highly flexible, the W-Class perfectly complements AAL’s fleet mix strategy and its customers’ needs with their ability to accommodate multiple cargo types simultaneously – project cargo, breakbulk and dry bulk commodities – with five cargo holds (three with tweendecks) and a significant individual cargo in-take of 39,000 cbm.
This latest fleet expansion news comes on the eve of AAL’s 25-year anniversary and is a clear statement of intent to further strengthen its global trade coverage and already renowned niche market positioning, adding to its already varied fleet profile with ‘mega-size’ tonnage that offers shippers significant cargo intake volumes and economies of scale on every sailing.
AAL’s Managing Director Kyriacos Panayides explained, ‘We’ve invested heavily in developing a global infrastructure, differentiated modern fleet profile and team of professionals worldwide – experts in chartering, commercial support, operations and engineering – that can put us in pole position over other carriers to deliver on the demands of today’s global project industry.
‘Despite being in a position to cater for the long or short-term employment demands of any major project worldwide, we retain an appetite for further sustainable growth and to ensure that our service remains competitive and differentiated at every level of our operations.’
September 10, 2019: AAL, one of the world’s largest and most trusted breakbulk and project heavy lift operators, has selected SEDNA as its company-wide email solution and team collaboration platform. By adopting SEDNA, AAL has consolidated multiple systems into a single, cloud-based technology and migrated the innovative system across its entire office network in Asia, Europe, Americas, Oceania and Middle East.
A global service provider with 25 years’ experience, AAL recognises that people are its most important asset and that clear and efficient communication between stakeholders is critical. The company has a mandate to leverage modern hardware, advanced systems and innovative technology wherever required to help meet customer demand and achieve its corporate vision.
Christophe Grammare, AAL’s Commercial Director explained, “Before SEDNA, AAL operated multiple platforms to deal with incoming email and convert cargo enquiries into processable data. We were using two email systems concurrently and an on-premise solution that was proving inefficient in keeping-up with our growth curve and volume of inquiries we were handling daily.”
He added, “We were in the market for a single collaborative email solution and became aware of SEDNA, knowing other industry stakeholders already using the system. We wanted a harmonised and adaptable cloud-based system that could process and archive large quantities of email in an efficient, organised manner and help us optimise our customer response times and overall service efficiency.”
Grammare highlighted three features that set SEDNA apart, “The first, is the system’s ability to share email and related data between teams without individuals having to physically forward anything. The second, is that it automatically tracks and displays who’s read and commented on an email – significantly improving transparency within a fast-moving group email environment. The third, is its email tagging algorithm – tailormade for AAL – that enables immediate identification, fast processing and retrieval of email.”
Dan James, Product Director at SEDNA, emphasised the company’s focus on developing a platform that helps teams work better together. “In our experience, Chartering and Operations teams find traditional email systems lack the functionality and processing capability to efficiently distill and disseminate large volumes of data to complete tasks or provide deeper insights into the performance of individuals. Our goal is to provide a solution that enables teams within large global organisations like AAL to stay connected and optimise their productivity.”
Mr. Grammare concluded, “AAL is the multipurpose sector’s most awarded carrier and a focus on service quality at every level of the organisation is what sets us apart. In SEDNA, we’ve found a partner that shares that philosophy and have been impressed by its ability to adapt and develop in response to our demands.”

Book Review, Hosho McCreesch by Urban F March 23, 2019 March 23, 2019
Featuring the novel Chinese Gucci
by Hosho McCreesch
A sporadic round up of lit fiend news
Underground Lovers is evolving. Besides focusing on lit news from my own little bubble, I hope to make this a regular feature where I invite ‘Lit Fiends’ from around the world to discuss a book and share within this intimate word club, where we just chill back and see what happens.
I approached my good friend Russ Daum to be my first participant. We are both keen followers of the work of Hosho McCreesch. An American writer living in New Mexico, who this year, launched his debut novel Chinese Gucci onto the world.
What follows is the transcript of our conversation, a deciphering discussion on the author Hosho McCreesch. The hard task here, was trying not to give too much away.
A. So, I wanted to talk about the way Chinese Gucci starts. The dynamic to get the reader in, especially for those of similar age to CG’s main character, was an eye popping start don’t you think? I’m pretty sure one would know straight away if this was going to be the book for them. A quick cull of potential readers, though I was instantly drawn into his private thoughts. Once I had finished I knew this book broke through generations, linking an older audience, like ourselves, to think about our relationship with this current younger generation.
R. Yeah there are kids who feel lost and I agree on the appeal for all. What I connected with right away, when I read the opening chapter, was that it was titillating, didn’t know those type’s of contraptions existed! Though, through its inclusion from the start of Chinese Gucci I grew to understand that the story began with Akira’s drive for self-gratification and the only person he was capable of relating to was himself.
A. He is very alienated, do you think he is a loner or just lost? Theme of the loner runs through the whole book, about his angst and self-hatred
R. Right, he has many instances where he feels without connection to any people, totally without connection.
A. I feel he is a very disconnected hero in all this, pinpointing where his anger and frustration evolves from, that was the puzzle for me. Hosho McCreech’s storytelling gives us glimpses, triggering an unveiling, little polaroids inside Akira’s flashbacks. Especially from his parents, where does the self hatred start? I was getting the feeling that someone of Japanese heritage, which Akira is, could perhaps have the stereotypical ‘dishonour’, tarnishing the family guilt trip at play. Do you think his frustration revolves around cultural issues or just that age?
R. I think it’s probably both because we are a product of our environment and so I think that has a bit of a concrete hold in the culture his parents brought him up in. He is also a product of social media, expects everything to feel fantastical. Every day, social media shows the perfect, the hilarious, or the amazing and brilliant, and can separate us from what it really is like to live and be human.
A Exactly, I like how he uses social media in this book through his characters, the constant checking of Twitter, Facebook, emails, the angst and frustration of no phone signals, when the notification light flashes, that instant gratification of feeling wanted. Also a device to hone into the mundane, the shallow, directionless aspect of his life. I think, especially with his friends, that immediacy of social media pings doesn’t guarantee the mutual respect or rapport that you think you are going to have with these people. He was always searching and never getting that connection and to me it was so empty and so lonely and a really important part of the book.
R. I question if he really had any friends at all because he didn’t understand his connection to the people he did spend time with, for instance, those friends that went on the first trip. They had a lot of experiences there but Akira just decided he was the boss and he didn’t want to go home though the rest of them did. They were willing to pay good money and leave him there.
A. I don’t think he was giving those guys an opportunity to become true friends, he was not open to it because everyone else seemed less than perfect to him except of course for Zoe. Staying on things that influence Akira and why he is the way he is, do you think his mother, who I’m sure is the main catalyst for his erratic behavior and his breakthrough, for his anxiety and his self-hatred, was a result of how he was dealing with his life at that moment?
R. I think he was much closer to his mother than he was his dad. That is the dynamic that a lot of boys have, they kind of fear their fathers and feel the pressure of the standards a father would like to set for them, so they rely on their mothers to be more real with them and experience everyday life. It doesn’t sound to me that she was the perfect person, she had some things that were difficult about her but nevertheless they were close.
A. I felt his mum was his centre, connected more with his philosophy on life. She had some great lines, memories on common sense and she seemed quite street smart, knew all the hustles, but nothing compares to and teaches you more than to make your own mistakes.
R. The distance between he and his Dad and his culture, that was part of their lives and important to his parents and Akira couldn’t understand. I’m not sure why he didn’t feel like his Mom would not have wanted him to have done what his father requested. That was a mystery to me.
A. Possibly a part of his own personal rebellion. This is a book touching on one’s growth into manhood, decision time, he did not want to see her leave the place where he felt his own affinity and his memories remain. One constant theme running through the storyline, was that Akira was always on the verge of hurting himself. The negative feedback, getting himself in situations that ultimately led to punishing himself, it was a very masochistic ride. The constant upper cuts, the verge of cutting his wrists (though ultimately only interested in the accolades that it was cool to leave a scar) this pain and frustration having to permeate physically. It was a very clever device, a heart pump reminder that it was only going to get worse.
R. His self-view, his self-esteem was very low, but his expectations for himself were very high. In light of trying to be as cool as he possibly could and ignore the fact that he thought so lowly of himself.
A. An interesting thing about his self-loathing, I adored this line “just be cool, don’t be an asshole, don’t be yourself” I thought you poor bugger you just don’t want to be yourself. This theme kept building and building and it gave such a mood to the book, I felt on edge, felt that he wasn’t going to do something really stupid, though he does plenty of stupid, I felt he had the potential to.
R. Yes the sense of going into a situation too far and unable to extract himself from it. He was very close to that, many, many, times, he had way too many experiences where that could have gone wrong. Akira could be zany at times. In trying to gain results his approach to life was not built on past experiences. He didn’t realize he couldn’t always will a desired event to occur. He wanted to be someone else other than who he was and struggled to achieve that.
A. It did show a naivety and vulnerability and though that in itself can make you turn into the person that you want to be, I felt that Akira had no willpower for commitment, finally he finds something that he is proving to be quite good at but that is sabotaged and well we know what happens then.
R. I work daily with troubled kids and with them there’s a disconnect. They see their lives, they know where they have come from and they understand where they are at. It is difficult and causes problems but they don’t have any idea how to get out of it and move onto something positive. I feel like I saw a lot of him (Akira) in the kids I work with. They have a lot of positive attributes but they don’t know how to move themselves to a different perception of what’s possible.
A. Do you think Akira had those attributes to move himself to a different perception or did he need someone to do that for him?
R. Well, as the story of Chinese Gucci adds layers he has to make that decision. I felt like his mistakes were adding up and he was losing control and he had to decide. Akira thought “Here’s my father who I am at odds with most of the time. Am I going to trust him?”
A. Trusting his dad, “Im going to tell him I’m not a punk ass kid I’m a grown ass man”, he is at that juxtaposition isn’t he, not putting gender on it, just that feeling going from late teenage years to going into responsible. That is a moment where a light can come on, he has the potential whether he would go through with it was always on my mind.
R. Those were powerful parts of the book I could relate to. His dad was trying to understand him and didn’t want to lose him. To achieve this without putting more pressure on him was key.
A. Many memorable scenes for me, scenes where he showed nurturing qualities and beautiful concern. He has the making of a protector, in his fantasies, what he would do to the guys that were disrespecting women or anyone he didn’t like, there were glimpses of an emphatic kid but the testosterone and his mental state became a runaway train that would lead him to breaking point.
R. The situations where he wanted to leave but became mesmerized and couldn’t resist, were happening all too fast. He did exhibit parts of himself that were decent but when he did his thoughts and actions often traveled in opposite directions. Akira became judgmental about the behavior of a group of boys around Zoe. He ignored that he acted in the same way and neglected to turn his judgement of them upon his own self.
A. Very true. I liked that line “in the elevator down he looked at his bare feet and he fantasied again about a life lived in strange and beautiful hotels in exotic places full of interesting people full of interesting conversations and every few days they’d leave or he would and there would never be any pain, it seemed perfect”
R. Akira does not want to get to know people. He is afraid of them, that knowing would burst his bubble. He was outlandish. He acted like he was talking on the phone to set up his movie. He wasn’t kidding anyone, or convincing anyone, but he still tried to carry it out. He’s a funny kid. An excellent character.
A. He was obsessed with something I don’t think he could ever be. Influenced by the music he was listening to, loved the little pops of lyrics that he seemed to live in. Hosho’s dialogue and the way he connects a conversation is so amazing. Going back to the book yesterday to refresh my mind before our conversation, I found myself just re reading pages, like really re reading the pages, he has that way of totally absorbing you into his characters. Just having that wry smirk throughout the whole book, couldn’t predict what the kid was gonna come out with next, what he was going to do next.
R. I agree. Dialogue drove the book. Combined with Hosho’s ability to describe whatever situation Akira was in at that time, was the engine of the story. Whether among his friends, with Zoe, at the party, Nita at the hotel, the taxi cab driver, the person that sold purses, his father, it was written so well and really believable to me, I felt part of that story. Akira was a well defined character.
A. You mentioned you felt an affinity with Akira. I’m sure there were many aspects of Akira’s antics, not quite exact but sure you understand the days of waking up in your own vomit.
R. Oh yeah I’ve done that before,
A. Akira does that a lot
R. Oh wow yes, I did that plenty of times. I drove my parent’s car like crazy through people’s yards or like a mad man on country roads, thinking I’m gonna wreck it then all of a sudden something amazing happened and I was safe. I was reckless and went with my intuition, not really having an understanding that this isn’t really a good place I’m headed to.
A. He was the King of that
R. What was interesting was, I had this feeling that he was going to find some hard heavy drugs to consider taking and he didn’t go to that point which I was really glad of.
A. It was his talent for getting into stupid situations and his desperation and where that leads and how easy it is to make split second decisions that can really stuff up your life.
R. All within his boundaries of his trying to become what he envisioned for himself which was a successful, glorified by all, big man on campus. He was comic bookish, and focused on hero stuff, you used that word. He was so far removed, though, from that persona that it was not depressing. It was interesting to see how bad he was at achieving those ends.
A. Akira is that great Manga punk style hero, so I’m sure that is a reference that he grew up on Manga comics, those post apocalyptic, socially isolated stories. It really is a great modern book, any connection with Holden Caulfield and The Catcher In The Rye? Hmmmm I don’t really think this will be ‘de rigueur’ in serial killer’s pockets, it’s too big for that! But when they get arrested it would certainly mirror the feelings of the loner, the alienated, the future kids with blurred lines of what is real and what is fed to them through a life spent growing up online.
R. Yeah, you hope that the character reaches the point, that epiphany where he and the reader understands what he is doing isn’t working and he wants to feel safe. Like there is something clean and positive about what he hoped is going to happen. Will he give in? This book covers so much about this generation, the social media generation. It was amazing, imagined and worked so well. I was so curious that it was set in Albuquerque, New Mexico like it was. I would love to live there someday. Chinese Gucci has a universal appeal.
A. Hosho is a big fan of his home town and surrounds, having witnessed it first hand, no other place like it on earth, I didn’t want to leave. I liked the connection that the story ran a road between New Mexico to Mexico the old and the new. Let’s talk about Hosho himself. A writer that is switched on, knows what he wants to do, understands the bullshit world of publishing, his own professionalism and dedication has surfaced. He is so connected to his readers and supporters and his debut is going to be one of many great stories that will come out of Hosho McCreesh’s mind. His poetry I want to share with you later, he is also a great artist, I even think he secretly would like to make a film one day just like his character Akira and seeing that dialogue, how easy that could become a screenplay would be phenomenal.
R. Yes, impressed by his paintings and his poetry, just beautiful.
A. Hosho McCreesch is one writer to watch and I’ve really enjoyed talking about some of the feels and messages with you Russ that Chinese Gucci imparted.
R. I think he did a great job at exposing just how mixed up and confused young people can be. Adults need to pay very close attention to their young people and seek to understand them.
A. So true, I’m giving it 5 skulls outta 5
R. That works for me, too!

Stanley Cup Playoffs Daily: Blues get handed a loss
By Greg Wyshynski
The 2019 Stanley Cup playoffs continue to be defined by some of the most egregious officiating mistakes in recent memory. The St. Louis Blues were the latest to be on the wrong side of one of those mistakes, losing Game 3 to the San Jose Sharks as a direct result.
Here's what happened in the NHL last night (check out replays of every playoff game on ESPN+) and what to watch for tonight, in today's edition of ESPN Stanley Cup Playoffs Daily:
Jump ahead: Last night's game| Three stars
Play of the night | Today's game| Social post of the day
About last night ...
Game 3: San Jose Sharks 4, St. Louis Blues 3 (OT) (Sharks lead series 2-1)
It's a shame that the controversial goal by Erik Karlsson in overtime -- on a missed hand pass by Timo Meier -- overshadowed what was a tremendously entertaining playoff game. The Sharks scored twice in the first. The teams combined for five goals in the second, with the Blues leading 4-3 headed into the third. Logan Couture tied the game at 4 with a goal at 18:59 -- after a couple of icings by the Blues -- and then Karlsson's second of the night ended it. Well, the officials' blown call ended it, and Karlsson's tally was a formality.
1. Logan Couture, C, San Jose Sharks. Overtime never would've even happened without Couture's goal late in the third period, when he tucked the puck past Jordan Binnington's pad for his 14th goal of the playoffs and his 20th point.
"I was happy that they kept icing the puck," he said. "I was a little tired, I had been out there for 30 minutes. [Alex] Pietrangelo kept icing it, gave me some time to catch my breath. I think a couple of us were tired, so we were happy that he kept icing it. Jumbo [Joe Thornton] made a good play on the wall, kind of a battle, their guy threw it at the net, we were able to outnumber him. The puck came loose a little bit, and I think I got my stick on it before Binnington could cover it."
2. David Perron, LW, St. Louis Blues. The forward scored two goals 2:39 apart in the second period to give the Blues the 4-3 lead, including the first power-play goal for St. Louis since Game 4 against Dallas.
3. Martin Jones, G, San Jose Sharks. The beleaguered goalie wasn't the sharpest early in the game, but also had two pucks go by him that deflected off defenseman Justin Braun. But as has been the case in the last two rounds, he was there when they needed him, making 15 saves in the third period and overtime. "For him to keep his composure, and then we're chasing the game in the third, you gotta open it up, so he's getting some grade-A looks," Sharks coach Pete DeBoer said. "I didn't think there were a lot of grade-A looks in the second period, but in the third he did because we had to open it up, playing from behind. He came up with some huge saves to get it to overtime."

Heck of a pass from Ivan Barbashev, fighting off Karlsson, to Alexander Steen for the Blues' first goal.
Dud of the night
What's a playoff game without controversy? It looks like the referees miss a hand pass and the original call on the ice is goal, so there's nothing that can be reviewed or reversed here. pic.twitter.com/B0vPpNTwEL - Shayna (@hayyyshayyy) May 16, 2019
The fact that all four on-ice officials all missed this hand pass from Meier is just stupefying. Said Kay Whitmore, the NHL supervisor of officials for the series: "It's a non-reviewable play. You can read between the lines. You can figure out what you want. You watched the video. But it's just non-reviewable. I know that sounds like a cop-out answer, but that's the truth."
It's technically not a cop-out. Going forward, this kind of play has to be reviewable in the NHL. What an embarrassment.
On the schedule
Boston Bruins at Carolina Hurricanes, Game 4, 8 p.m. ET (Bruins lead series 3-0)
As Justin Williams of the Hurricanes so eloquently put it: "I can't sugarcoat it. This isn't an ideal situation." Carolina played its best game of the series and came up empty in Game 3, and sounded like it afterward. Is there any hope? Well, keep in mind that the 2010 Bruins are one of only four teams that have blown a 3-0 series lead in Stanley Cup playoff history. Three players who played in Game 7 of that series currently play for the Bruins: Patrice Bergeron, Zdeno Chara and Tuukka Rask.

Aviat: a Lower Pleistocene shallow gas hazard developed as a fuel gas supply for the Forties Field
Phil Rose, Grant Byerley, Owen Vaughan, John Cater, Brice R. Rea, Matteo Spagnolo, Stuart Archer
The search for a gas source near to Apache's Forties Field in the North Sea was motivated by the prediction of an ever-increasing fuel gas shortfall as the field oil rate declined. The Central North Sea is well known for a large number of shallow gas hazards in the Pleistocene section that have historically caused blowouts during exploration and development. These gas accumulations typically show up as small bright anomalies on seismic data. In 2009, a large gas anomaly was identified to the east of Forties, and the Aviat Field was discovered in 2010 when exploration well 22/7-5 was drilled.
The Aviat Field reservoir is interpreted to be a subaqueous glacial outwash fan, consisting of silt-grade, rock flour material, deposited in front of a grounded ice sheet in some 400 m of water. Aviat sits on an overcompacted silty mudstone that was deformed by this ice sheet – the Crenulate Marker. The distribution of this horizon implies that the Early Pleistocene ice sheet covered at least the northern half of the UK North Sea.
Although the Aviat reservoir is thin (2–9 m thick), the well tests, pressure profiles and geophysical response demonstrate that the reservoir is well connected, extensive (over 35 km2) with high deliverability (up to 18 MMscfd achieved). Aviat was sanctioned in 2014 for development as a fuel gas supply for the Forties Field, with first gas achieved in July 2016.

The Rise of Female Gangs in the US
Categories English
In the past criminal gangs were mostly a thing of the Boys and girls were not that common in the practice as they were termed as being inferior. This was the time when masculinity ruled the streets and even if a lady committed a crime she wouldn’t be suspected as much as a boy would. Historically female gangs have been in existence but mostly they were hidden in male gangs and they had special roles to play such as hoarding drugs, carrying weapons and being used as ‘sex objects’ (MILLER). With them camouflaging they felt like inferior and their roles were not making a statement, this was attributed to their small numbers like in most gangs they mostly made up 10% of the gang members.
This trend of ladies being protected by being in the male gangs has changed nowadays and they are proving to be dangerous and they can be involved in violence like their male groups but the magnitude of their acts never surpasses those of the male gangs (Delaney). This came into the limelight during the shooting of Tayshana Murphy at the Morningside heights in September 2011. Upon investigation it was revealed that she was involved in rivalry with a member of a gang she was in and thus she was shot; this also includes the teen Raven Walker who was arrested for stabbing to death a young boy in June 2010 when a gang fight broke up on the Gunther Avenue (Hamilton).
According to reports from different media houses and the department of justice the rise of female gangs has been worrying and something which needs to be addressed at all cost, like currently there are more than 10 female gangs in the US and most of these ladies they come from the hoods where violence and gun fighting is a normal thing like sipping a Sprite drink on the sandy beaches. This is because of the attraction by the flashy lifestyles and getting quick money all at a go; this also comes up as part of protecting themselves and making it an official identity among themselves. This also constitutes of social instability among their backgrounds, lack of supporting structure made them to find where they can be loved and appreciated (Carrasco). In situations where a female was Jobless and hard hit with life selling drugs and transporting weapons became one of their profitable avenues to make ends meet. Some of these notorious female gangs include; Brooklyn, 2 Gurl Gunnas, Billion Dolla Beauties, Hood Barbies, the Harlem Hiltons and Gun Clappin Divas as police reports indicate. These female gangs have thrown out their reserved character and adopted a violent one which they use also to act as ambush baits for other male gangs who have affiliations with them and according to the trends being witnessed nowadays by the youth counselors it has become almost impossible for teens to refuse joining the female gangs. The baits laid by the female crews has led to even good girls joining them just for fun and identifying with the hood and funny enough these kids perform well in school. Their most common weapon that each of them has is a clutter knife which they can hide on their pockets or bags without being noticed.
The rise in the numbers of the female gangs has attracted the attention of different stakeholders of the society into investigating and getting the root cause of the and a report that was released by the US Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention, it showed that the participation gaps in gangs between gangs had been closed down as males from high crime risk areas/hoods had 8.8% with the female’s 7.8% (Howell). These gangs although exhibit a different behavior on class and factors of involvement, this is because in most times it’s taken a black ladies and Latinos are the ones who get recruited in gangs, but that isn’t a factor as most of them were found to come from urban areas that experience poverty and high unemployment. Therefore, most researchers say that race cannot be blamed but the background setting of the families and their social life level (class).
With the increasing trend of girls joining the female gangs, its undoubtedly that the issue needs serious assessment. According to the National Gang Assessment Report released on 2008 most teens cited family and protection as an issue to joining gangs. The mentioning of the family brings into light the failures on close monitoring by the parents or kids being harassed at home then later join gangs. This is because the Females find themselves in an abusive family under deteriorating conditions making them feel lonely and aggressive by joining the gangs they find family and identity. This sister gangs go ahead as much as protecting their own at all circumstances, this is a trait which shows that their establishment depends on the formation of a male gang around their hood for they copy most of their operation techniques and maneuvers which make them untraceable in times of crime.
Apart from the above acclaimed issues for ladies forming the gangs, the issue of popular culture also has been very poignant in their formation and membership. This happens because the media presented it to being good. Most of them found it to be attractive to be in gang as they will be dressing as tomboys and throwing crazy-wild parties. The gangs start slowly with the idea of being friends to go out for runs and running social trips as per their wishes and it grows out to be a full organization for crime and fulfilling their economic gains.
According to one study (Irving A. Spergel), these gangs can be stopped and the ladies saved for the better of their future like those who still perform well and had not been hooked on to drugs and substance abuse, this includes the use of Community Organization and creating social opportunities such as Jobs and family friendly grounds for heart-heart talks. In the past suppressing the females and checking them to counseling services were the most used strategies but these ones were not effective as still these females went back to their old behaviors immediately when their parole period was over; but this cannot be the case if the Government through the non-governmental organizations can help and mobilize community Organizations for a better cause which will impact the society well. This is because if the ladies are not saved from their behaviors most of them like 84% in gangs will end up having kids and no responsible spouses as their engagements were random. Hence to save a community and create a good image investing on police and suppression will only escalate the problems social support and jobs are very vital in fighting these war of rising female street gangs which expose ladies to many dangers like sexual abuse, unwanted pregnancies, death and substance abuse.

Sub-machine gun page added
Blaze230-Razgriz
Hey,Sly! I have just added a new page titled 'Submachine guns' following the appearance of one of the most iconic submachine guns in the cut-scene prior to the mission 'Lock and Load' in AC:AH,the MP5.
Two Navy SEALs wielding MP5s
Just want to ask about your opinion of this newly added page,whether it's upto the mark or not.
I don't want this separate page, to be honest, because I think we need just a single page for infantry weapons like this, but obviously the MP5 isn't an assault rifle. I want to merge the MP5 into that page and figure out a new name for that page. We already have carbines listed on there, even though technically they shouldn't be.
Also we need a better image than that. I can see the YouTube bar.
Yup,I know.Sorry about that.I was'nt able to get a snapshot from my PS3 since it cracked down last year.So I had to make do with this pic from a video.
I'd probably prefer a PC screenshot since the game looks the best on there. If no one else does, I'll take it myself when I get back from my weekend trip.
Blaze, I got a question for ya. After searching it up a bit, maybe we could combine the SMG and AR pages into a single "long gun" page, and then split the sections for each type?
Hmmm.... It's actually a good idea but the title kinda sounds a little lame for such a page. How about we merge both AR AND SMG pages,as well as the handgun page, into a page titled 'Firearms'? Besides, I don't see much people in this wiki being a lot interested over a few guns considering the fact that is a wiki about a arcade-style flight action video game franchise and not some FPS game franchise like Call of Duty or Battlefield (In case you haven't read about my profile, I also do some article pages in Call of Duty wiki which I know some of the guys in this wiki are not much fans of).
As for the pic,I 'll see if I can get a better one or not.
I was talking about this in the mod private channel and our Content Mod, Furii, also suggested the Firearms rename. Maybe one single page on all infantry weapons such as that would be better.
If we do that, I'd rename the AR page to Firearms since I *think* it has more history? And we combine the handgun and SMG pages into that one page. That's how I would do it.

Hey, SlyCooperFan1. How r u? Just 2 let u no, I have identity the names of da names of the ships from Mission 19.
There r four Zumwalt-class stealth destroyers names "Drake", "Lark", "Thrush", and "Wild Goose".
There's three USS Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers names "Sandpiper", "Snipe", and "Starling".
There r three USS Thomas S Gates-class guided missile cruisers names "Broadbill", "Quetzal", and "Trogon".
They're all names of species of birds.

I was curious so thanks, however there is no "Thomas S Gates" class it's a Ticonderoga class, bunker hill subclass for future reference
RailWAM Issue
Blaster Niceshot
Since it's been a while since I replied on the Dev Wiki, I just wanted to let you know that I finished collecting/looking at data and have replied on the talk page. The issue has been inconsistent so it has been difficult to get days to do testing.
I'll send you a message here when FANDOM replies so you don't have to keep checking Dev Wiki (see my talk page message).
Yeah I've been checking that talk page every now and then, I actually had just checked it a few hours before you made your reply there. Thank you for keeping on top of this in any capacity at all, it's so weird how it may just be this specific wiki. I couldn't begin to fathom what server issue may be causing this. And your note about staff being busy with Unification is a sound one, since when we move to the new platform this issue may solve itself. Still, I believe in reporting all bugs, regardless of how fringe or soon-to-be-unrelevant, so I do appreciate your help with this. Thank you again, and do let me know when they get back!

Hello, sir. I am new to this wiki and I'm here to let you know that I saved some images coming on my PC from this very wiki. I like to write crossover stories and since I'm not that good at describing things, I often use images to accompany what I write. What I would like to know from you is if I need permission to use the images I saved outside Acepedia.
10:00, October 4, 2019
Hey there, thanks for asking first. It depends on the image in question. Most images uploaded here have a copyright tag indicating their right to be on this wiki. Almost every image here is a screenshot from an Ace Combat game, and for those, you don't need permission from us because it's not our permission to give, it's Bandai Namco's. This is pretty much the case for 99% of images here.
If an image in question is not an in-game screenshot, then it depends on what it is. For example, fan-made diagrams like the AC3 mission chart would need credit linked back to the wiki.
Most of them are hangar views and cockpit views of planes coming from AC7 and I saved an artwork and a screenshot of Mihaly A. Shilage, as well as screenshots of the Scrap Queen. I could make an "author's note" saying that these images belong to Bandai Namco and that in no way did I mean to disrespect or take something which is not mine, as I write just because I love the franchises I like to mix in my stories.

Hangar views, cockpit views, and character screenshots are all fair use and not specifically belonging to the wiki, so yeah, you're fine doing as you said. :)

Deficiencies in Ace Combat 7
JheEAGLE
Hello Sly,
I regret to inform you (and at least everyone that reads this wiki) that the developers of Ace Combat 7 have sadly committed several serious blunders in regards to this game:
1. There is not a multiplayer mode that allows for air-to-ground combat.
2. The AV-8B+, F-117A and EA-18G Growler are not available for use by the player.
3. Not as serious as the others, but some of the voicing for weapons firing is off on a few of the weapons, or weapon models are incorrect for the in-game weapons they represent. For example, AWACs says "Fox Three" for SASMs, but in reality it should be "Fox Two." Another example is the incorrect usage of the AIM-7P Sparrow for the HVAA on the F-2A. It would be better in the technical sense to use the AAM-4B from the F-15J's HCAAs.
For #2: I highly doubt that I am the only person with this opinion or similar. Normally, I am 110% for the legal purchasing and modding of a game, with little to no tolerance for data mining. However, this is an exception to me. I hereby personally encourage data miners (as well as Bandai Namco to fix this in a legal/obligated way) to find a way to give the player access to the three aforementioned aircraft, without breaking the game.
I understand if you may not agree with some of this. I simply wish to point out unnecessary problems (in my opinion) and offer solutions to them that would make the game soooo much better. If you do happen to be in favor of solving at least one of these issues, please spread the word and encourage data miners to begin researching/people to petition Bandai Namco to update the game accordingly.
I would try and modify the game myself, but programming and I don't really get along, and I can't remember squat from programming classes in high school.
Black Bee One
Give it time. The game is less than one year old. Who knows what they have in mind next year. About F-2A's weapon, HVAA always takes the appearance of semi active AA. HPAA appears as infrared AA. And HCAA appears as active radar AA. Last time I checked, F-2A is also capable of using Sparrows.
Yeah, that is a possibility. I know I'm essentially just ranting, but I truly do think those non-playable aircraft I mentioned could have been included without much more effort. I'm just wondering aloud why they didn't do it.
If you look inside the game's data, making them playable would result in significantly lower quality. The Harrier and F-117 are both direct ports from ACAH/Infinity that have much lower resolution and detail. Those models have only 1k texture. Player texture is 4k while regular NPCs are usually 2k. Playable versions of those planes would have to be remade from ground up to scale with the other playable aircraft. Or if you can stand playing a low quality eyesore after seeing crisp 4k planes, there might be a way to model switch the planes like HAWX or something.
Not to mention, AC7 is not even close to the first game with unplayable aircraft only used by the enemy, especially in the case of the AV-8B. And it's certainly not the first game to mix up the weapon models. These aren't "several serious blunders", this is actually kind of par for the course.
Ok, I do admit that was an over exaggeration, but I still think that it could have been done eventually because it's not impossible. Just IMPO.
Hey Question
War Eagle 1
I bought the season pass for AC7 but its telling me i have to pay $5 for the mission DLC. Is that a bug or is it not included in the DLC season pass?
Qbicle
I hear this is an issue related to the US PSN region, but there may be other regions that have the same problems. You can contact PSN support for help, or wait for them to sort it out.
Check again, it should be fixed now.

Also, if the situation persists, go to your settings, then account management, and select "Restore Licenses". This will likely fix any further issue you may have with it.

Hey SlyCooperFan1, you think there is a even a slight that yellow 4 may still be alive?
I guess ISAf confirmed her dead then?

Home FACTS Fassone Interview: Donnarumma wanted to stay!
Fassone Interview: Donnarumma wanted to stay!
Luca La Cava
Marco Fassone to Milan TV: “Donnarumma told me he wants to stay at Milan”
Milan TV, an inside source on everything related to AC Milan, held an interview with sporting director, Marco Fassone, in which he revealed some very interesting details about the Donnarumma situation.
“I kind of expected it; it didn’t come as a shock, because in the past 2 months we have been living in a confusion between what Raiola was telling me and what Gigio was telling me”
“Every time I saw him (Gigio), even a few days before Raiola gave me the news, he told me that he wants to stay at Milan” However he mentioned that Raiola was very hesitant to answer him, demanding they be given more time to make the decision.
What we can take from this, is that the decision to not renew the contract was highly, if not fully, influenced by Raiola. But this doesn’t mean that Gigio is not to blame at all. Abbiati came out with a statement saying: “I had the same agent and I made my own decisions; I never let myself be influenced. It depends on the character of the player” said Abbiati. “I also recieved insults from behind the goal. You have to be strong to only focus on the match, because the Goalkeeper has to have a very high concentration level”
However, Raiola claimed that “At first Gigio wanted to renew, but in the last 2 days he changed his mind; he didn’t feel valued by the club and I can’t take the responsibility for that”
With this recent fuel added to Donnarumma’s fire, it looks like this saga will never end. But who do you believe, if anyone at all? So far, there have not been any official offers made, and remember, that Milan can still offer him a new contract. Would you be happy if Gigio stayed?

Trento mounted beyond-belief comeback
Nov 22, 2018 by Eurocupbasketball.com Print
Zenit St. Petersburg fans might have been forgiven for deciding to leave a little before the end of their team’s home game against Dolomiti Energia Trento on Wednesday night. After all, it had been a good night and victory was assured with Marko Simonovic’s fastbreak layup giving Zenit an 87-71 lead with only 3:30 left on the clock.
But any fans who did leave early missed out on something special, because what Trento did next was truly incredible. First, Diego Flaccadori scored a two-pointer, followed by a pair of free throws. 87-76. Then Beto Gomes scored, making it a single-digit game for the first time since early in the second quarter. Sergey Karasev then appeared to have settled things with a long two, making it 89-78 with less than two minutes remaining. But Trento had other ideas: Aaron Craft scored a three-point play, Gomes added another triple, and Davide Pascolo scored from close range. Eight unanswered points in a minute, and it was 89-86, with 40 seconds left. Zenit could still have put the game to bed, but the home team couldn't score, Trento got the ball back and Gomes – falling backwards and with hands in his face – somehow netted a corner three to level the game and force overtime.

That wasn't the end of the drama. Zenit took control again in overtime, moving 4 points ahead through three-pointers from Vladislav Trushkin and Evgeny Voronov. But again Trento came back, this time powered by a triple from Fabio Mian. And when Flaccadori was fouled, he made both free throws to give Trento its first lead of the whole night…with 20 seconds of overtime remaining. Karasev answered immediately from the foul line, but Trento had another chance and Craft was the hero, knocking down a nerveless mid-range jump shot with just 4 seconds on the clock. Then Flaccadori stole the inbounds pass, made his free throws…and it was all over.
Trento had somehow stolen the win despite trailing for 42:46 out of the 45 minutes played, and only leading for 5 seconds all night. If you hadn't seen it, you wouldn't believe it.
