Media Pundits and the Kim Davis Controversy
To base laws on a lie, on something so clearly known to be unreal, is the fast track to tyranny for all citizens
September 13, 2015 Mary Jo Anderson General 0 Print
The pundit class have all weighed in now on Kim Davis, the Rowan County, Kentucky clerk who refused to affix her name to licenses for homosexual couples to marry. “To issue a marriage license which conflicts with God’s definition of marriage,” Davis had said, “with my name affixed to the certificate, would violate my conscience.”
Every night updates on her jailed-then-released-from-jail status have brought a new barrage of commentary, both cultural and legal. There are several arguments made on her behalf, and, indeed, at least one Republican presidential hopeful quickly came to stand beside Davis as she weathered the media storm. However, many of those sympathetic to Davis’ cause have said, albeit with regret, that she should “follow the law.”
No, I don’t think she should.
People of good will can and have disagreed about the philosophical and legal fine points that Kim Davis presents to our culture. Those who hold that, to keep her job, she must perform the duties of that job, have adopted their stance based, at least in part, on a fear of a looming chaos if significant numbers of Americans refuse to “do their jobs.” On Wednesday night during a Fox News program, Andrea Tantaros warned, “The problem is she’s [Davis] essentially rewriting the laws of that county by not issuing [licenses]…As a Christian I do feel sorry for her and I’m sympathetic to her beliefs, however she doesn’t have a legal leg to stand on.”
Tantaros believes that Davis sets a dangerous example because others of different belief systems might do the same. Tantaros cited Sharia law which does not permit women to drive, thus no drivers’ licenses would be issued to women citizens by a Muslim clerk. This sort of reasoning is woefully short of reason. (The conscience objection of a Muslim clerk over drivers’ licenses is based on an opinion about women, not on an objective reality about women.) Tantaros is a smart lady as are many others, including Carly Fiorina, who sympathize with Kim Davis but who still insist that she should “just do her job.”
However, the big question that is never posed or addressed by the pundits is: when ought a citizen refuse “to do their job?”
Let’s pause here for sober recollection on this fact: some Germans went to prison after World War II because, in their view, they “just did their job.” Restated, some Germans were imprisoned although they did nothing illegal under German law.
When they filed papers to send victims to death camps, some may have seared their conscience. Some were browbeat into “doing their job,” perhaps in fear of losing their livelihood or even their freedom. Most, however, allowed their conscience to be soothed by the assurance that it was legal. The average citizen grew comfortable with the Nuremburg Laws due to the relentless cultural pressure that reinforced the ideology of German leadership. Had more Germans refused to cooperate with these unjust laws, some civil chaos would have resulted; but consider the greater, grievous chaos that engulfed their culture because not enough Germans followed their consciences!
Many media personalities would do well to refocus their angle of view. This isn’t about Kim Davis’ particular case. It’s about the larger societal question: where is the line when it comes to conscience? Kim Davis is a warning. When must good citizens refuse to obey unjust and destructive laws? We need to decide this question soon. “Gay marriage” is hardly the only issue here. Euthanasia, for instance, is a gathering tsunami. We can expect laws that compel medical professionals to “do their job” because a patient is a burden on our collective health care costs, or because a group pushes through laws protecting a “right” to assisted suicide.
Legal protection for the right to follow our conscience is critical to maintaining a healthy republic, a vital society. Think of it as part of a system of checks and balances on a runaway ideology. And while some will surely point out that signing a marriage license and signing concentration camp transfer are hardly of the the same magnitude, they would be wrong in principle.
In both cases, what should cause the conscience to refuse to “just do the job” is when the law is clearly and substantially based on a lie. When Germans, after the war, protested that they did nothing illegal, the War Crimes judges responded that they “should have known” that extermination was wrong. That is, they should have known that both the act the job required and the law covering the act were wrong. Why? What criteria did the tribunal judges think citizens should apply when confronted with a legal structure that ordered the death of millions of fellow citizens?
The laws that called for those heinous acts were based on a lie. The lie of “impure blood” as warrant for extermination was so obviously and fundamentally untrue that all citizens “should have known” it was a crime. Our common humanity is a reality, a universal truth that all eras and all cultures recognize. The judges understood that to reduce an architect or a professor or a cellist to “subhuman vermin” is a denial of the reality of what it is to be human. To base laws on a lie, on something so clearly known to be unreal, is the fast track to tyranny for all citizens. It isn’t only the targeted citizens who suffer under unjust laws. In rapid order, the entire society collapses because even a legalized lie comes face to face with hard reality.
As an institution, “gay marriage” is a lie because it is an impossibility, a mirage. It’s an awkward but relentless attempt to force society to pretend that two persons of the same sex are “really” married when they cohabit. But they really aren’t married and we know it. To force the populace to go along with this unreality, laws were changed—but the reality is unchanged. Homosexual unions cannot be made into a “real” marriage by court decree, any more than a court could decree that the sun orbits the earth or that caterpillars turn into monkeys.
Nature joins the two halves of the human species into a fertile union. We call it marriage. Same-sex sex cannot unify the two haves of the species and it produces nothing. Any law that attempts to force a citizen to comply with such a substantial, fundamental untruth as “gay marriage” is asking that citizen to deny an obvious reality. Such a law—hat requires denial of obvious reality—is tyrannical; it attempts to control your thought processes.
Let’s hope the media (and many others) can let go of ideology long enough to ask the question of all of us: When should citizens refuse to “do their job?” When does doing so put the brakes on a a dangerous loss of reality? Let’s have a national discussion.

Chicago cops pose with rifles over black man in photo
Updated on: May 28, 2015 / 11:44 AM / CBS/AP
CHICAGO -- A former Chicago police detective is suing to get his job back after being fired for posing in a photograph with another officer holding rifles over an unidentified black man lying on a floor and wearing deer antlers.
The photograph, which is believed to have been taken between 1999 and 2003, recently was made public after detective Timothy McDermott filed a lawsuit in Cook County Circuit Court seeking to rejoin the Chicago Police Department. The photo was discovered during an FBI investigation into police wrongdoing.
The Chicago Police Board fired McDermott in October after finding him guilty of bringing discredit on the department by taking part in the photo, disrespecting or maltreating a person on or off duty, and unlawful or unnecessary use or display of a weapon.

McDermott's lawyer, Dan Herbert, said Wednesday the photograph doesn't tell the entire story. He added there's no evidence the black man was in custody and questioned whether the photo was taken against the man's will.

McDermott posed with Officer Jerome Finnigan, who is serving a 12-year prison sentence for corruption. Both McDermott and Finnigan are white.
The FBI uncovered the photo during its investigation of Finnigan, who was convicted in 2011 of leading a band of rogue police who stole hundreds of thousands of dollars from suspected drug dealers and ordered a hit on a fellow officer to keep him from revealing the scheme.
Mayor Rahm Emanuel opposes returning McDermott to his job, saying Wednesday the photo doesn't reflect the department's values.
"As far as I'm concerned, to that officer: Good riddance. You don't belong in the Police Department," Emanuel said. "Our whole idea of the Police Department (is that it) is there to serve and protect, and the values expressed in that photo are not the values of the people of the city of Chicago."
When asked what took the police board so long to fire McDermott, the mayor declined to comment but said, "Stay tuned," CBS Chicago reports.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported that McDermott told the Police Department's internal affairs division in 2013 that participating in the photo was a mistake.
"I was asked to join the photo and I did so without exercising proper judgment," he was quoted as saying in a transcript. "I made a mistake as a young impressionable police officer who was trying to fit in."

Southern Bred and Southern Fed: The evolution of Southern cooking
Author: Linda S. Hopkins
On a recent ramble through what’s left of my cookbook collection, I ran across a long-forgotten treasure: an original hardbound copy of Southern Cooking, by Mrs. S.R. Dull, published in 1928, that was handed down to me from my maternal grandmother, “Mama Whit,” who could lay out a platter of the best fried chicken on the planet.
Thumbing through the yellowed, dogeared pages of Dull’s book was a trip back through history, stirring both my imagination and memory, while sending me reeling back to a tiny kitchen on Bryan Avenue in East Point, Georgia, where grease sizzled in a hot iron skillet over a gas flame and my stomach rumbled in anticipation of the tender, juicy meat dressed up in its crispy, golden Sunday best. Yep, there was some kind of magic happening in that pan.
But back to my reading. The directions for the “Real Housewives” of Dull’s generation started out with: catch chicken, wring neck, chop off head, drain blood, plunge in boiling water, and remove pinfeathers. It is my understanding that future editions were modernized to reflect the availability of pre-dressed chicken fryers in butcher shops and commercial grocery markets. Nevertheless, Dull’s intimate and instructional cookbook was the epitome of “scratch” cooking—a step-by-step guide that defined Southern food for decades and is still relevant today.
Before the term “farm-to-table” became so chic and overused, Southern cooks were instinctively feeding their families this way. As a child of the 1960s, growing up in the South, although I didn’t live in a rural farming area, what we ate was largely a matter of what was available seasonally, what we had on hand, and what we could afford.
In the summer, we sat on the porch shelling peas and butterbeans, shucking corn, and snapping string beans. After all that hard work, nothing tasted better than fresh-from-the farmers market tomatoes, sliced and slapped between two pieces of white bread slathered with mayo (no B or L needed). Then there was watermelon, just off the vine, from my paternal grandparents’ garden, in Fayetteville, Georgia (“the country” back then), where roosters crowed at dawn, cows kept the grass trimmed, and scuppernongs and blackberries—perfect for homemade jellies and jams—grew wild along the fence.
Fall and winter brought out the home-canned and frozen iterations of summer’s bounty, along with dried peas (seasoned with ham hock), winter squash, and hearty dishes such as beef stew, and pot pie. Year-round staples included grits, of course, and an abundance of casseroles, perfect for stretching a dollar.
Other foods of my childhood included pork chops, country fried steak, pan gravy, fried okra, squash, sweet potatoes, cornbread, biscuits, and an enormous array of congealed salads. (It’s amazing what our foremothers mixed into Jell-O and called a salad!) Cinnamon toast was my favorite breakfast treat; lunch boxes were packed with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches on white bread with the crusts cut off, an apple or banana for good measure, and a Little Debbie Oatmeal Creme Pie, if I got lucky. When times were hard, we had scrambled eggs or pancakes for supper, and on special nights when Mama was too tired to cook or the cupboard was bare, we got a sack of Krystal hamburgers—10 cents each back then.
And did I forget to mention sweet tea and Coca Cola?
In Southern households, no meal was complete without dessert. Favorites were made from simple ingredients and, again, what was available and affordable: peach cobbler, strawberry shortcake, banana pudding, rice pudding, pound cake, and fried pies. On holidays and occasions, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Sunday potlucks at the church, or funeral receptions, we had fancy scratch-made layer cakes like chocolate, red velvet, caramel or coconut—and pies: apple, sweet potato, pecan, lemon, and chocolate—baked to perfection in tender, flaky homemade crusts, served à la mode or topped with sweetened whipped cream or lightly toasted clouds of meringue.
Blame it on the pork fat
Somewhere along the way, all this deliciousness began to get a bad rap. I think it was largely due to three factors: the predominance of pork fat used in our cooking, our love of all things battered and fried, and the influx of convenience foods. Pick up any Junior League cookbook or collection from the Southern church ladies from the 1960s on, and you will find pre-packaged soups and sauces in the ingredient lists, making the dishes less healthy than earlier renditions cooked purely from scratch.
I don’t remember hearing any discussion of GMOs or artery-clogging trans fats back in the day, nor was anyone squawking about how chickens were raised or cows were milked. One of my fondest childhood memories was an elementary school field trip to Mathis Dairy where I got to squeeze a cow’s udder and sport a button on my shirt that said, “I milked Rosebud.” (She seemed perfectly cool with it.) This was also during the time when fresh milk was delivered to our door in glass jars via the milkman, who was sort of like Santa Claus or the tooth fairy in that he showed up in the wee hours of the morning while we were sleeping.
Cooking, in those days, was more a matter of filling bellies than ensuring overall health, although Mama did her best to encourage us to eat our fruits and vegetables. Little tricks like cutting the melon into balls, making pineapple and mayonnaise sandwiches, or counting the butterbeans or carrots and bribing me with nickels and the promise of dessert worked wonders.
Today, slimmed down versions of Southern recipes are certainly available, and while your specific dietary concerns may preclude your enjoyment of the full-fat, down-home Southern experience, an occasional splurge might just be good for what ails you.
As award-winning celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse would say, “Pork fat rules—Bam!”
The Southern resurgence
While attitudes and ingredients continue evolving, the South is rising again on dinner plates around the nation as innovative chefs, under the influence of regional and global trends, bring their own spin on the classics to the modern table.
Top Chef judge Hugh Acheson, recent recipient of two James Beard Awards—one for his cookbook A New Turn in the South: Southern Flavors Reinvented for Your Kitchen, and the other for Best Chef: Southeast for his restaurant Five and Ten in Athens, Georgia—is just one of many renowned chefs helping drive the Southern upsurge and dispel some of the myths.
In a TODAY show interview, he said, “It’s as much about reinventing [Southern Cuisine] through my recipes as about changing the view of Southern food. While Southern food is hip, interesting and gets replicated in New York and other places these days, it’s reviled as being lard-rich, fattening and unhealthy. I think that’s where the misnomer is, because Southern food, in its true form, is not putting a pork chop between two Krispy Kreme doughnuts. It’s about having a small amount of fried chicken on the plate and on the table serving succotash, roasted Vidalia onions, summer tomatoes, shaved corn with basil, and hominy grits. That’s sort of the abundance of Southern food. You have to remember, it’s such an agrarian society, and I think real Southern food is based on those things.
“When you go to the South, you can read for the rest of your life the history of Southern food,” he continued. “There is just this treasury of information that helps bring the hipness out. But, it has to be the properly defined Southern food with a reverence for ingredients. The food that doesn’t have that reverence is just crappy American food; it’s not Southern food.”
Chris Chamberlain, Nashville-based food writer confirms that Southern cooking is “red hot” right now. His book, The Southern Foodie: 100 Places to Eat in the South before You Die and the Dishes that Made Them Famous, explores the South’s culinary culture, following its roots and exploring its evolution in the region’s best restaurants. His cover copy invites you to “meet the people who are keeping the tradition alive and reinventing the flavors of the South. Swing on down to the Gulf Coast, and wade into a chef’s wonderland of fresh seafood and spicy heat. Check out the culinary creativity in the Carolinas, where you’ll find traditional smoked pork barbecue alongside Southern favorites made with fresh, local produce. Explore the restaurant kitchens of Atlanta and Nashville, where the chefs aren’t shy about fusing comfort food standards with international flair and unexpected techniques.”
Meanwhile, the 2017 Trends Report from Datassential* predicts that Southern mashups will continue as chefs get more playful and adventurous. Hog & Hominy in Memphis, Tennessee, is combining Italian cooking with Southern roots in dishes like biscuit gnocchi and grits al forno. According to the survey, we can expect to see a rise in Southern/Asian concepts with ingredients like pork belly or fried chicken, topped with Asian-inspired flavors like fish sauce, hoisin, or togarashi. Southern/Latin spots may feature sweet potatoes, chicharrones, tomatoes, corn, and beans.
A Southern secret
While leading chefs are turning out new translations of the Southern classics and fancying them up for a more sophisticated palate, I would put Mama Whit’s cooking up against the best of them. Perhaps it’s the context that eludes. I can make fried chicken, following her recipe to a T, or gorge myself on someone else’s version at the finest Southern-style restaurant or backroads country buffet. But I can’t go back in time and conjure the joy or satisfaction I felt as a child being fed by my grandmother. The magic, you see, is not in the recipe, but in the cook’s passion. The secret ingredient? Love. Pass it on.

In September of 2006, Celebrate Hilton Head (CH2) burst onto the scene with a fresh perspective on Hilton Head Island, Bluffton and the surrounding Low Country. At the helm was a team of young women (all under 30!) with no experience whatsoever in the publishing industry. The first year they made up the rules as they went along. CH2 (and CB2 – Celebrate Bluffton and Beyond), has evolved into a well-respected publication with over 150 advertisers and a distribution to over 47,000 locals and visitors each month.
Content ranges from Interesting Islander profiles and arts and entertainment pieces to food and wine topics and Hilton Head and Bluffton Business Profiles. CH2’s Bachelor of the Year Contest has blossomed into a greatly anticipated media event every year with viral marketing (i.e., Facebook, Twitter) contributing to the annual readership of those issues pertaining to the contest and over 700 people attending the Bachelor of the Year party held every October held at a local Hilton Head or Bluffton entertainment spot.
CH2 strives to give back to the community in which they have been so successful by sponsoring charitable events in both Hilton Head Island and Bluffton (Bluffton’s MayFest, put on by the Bluffton Rotary), donating editorial space to worthy organizations (Bold Strokes, Volunteers in Medicine, March of Dimes), and making the Hilton Head Island Rec Center the recipient of monies raised in conjunction with the Bachelor of the Year Contest.

Cell Project Space
Laura Buckley
Accompanying gallery text by Elizabeth Neilson available in the gallery during the exhibition
Gallery Event, 'Bismuth Eyes', Laura Buckley & Andy Spence, Saturday 25th February, 7-9pm. MORE INFO
Cell Project Space is proud to present Fata Morgana a solo project by Irish born, London based artist Laura Buckley. For Fata Morgana, Buckley has initiated an ambitious single screen installation commissioned specifically for the CYcLORAMA series and produced with the assistance of Cell, The Arts Council of England and The Irish Arts Council.
The title Fata Morgana refers to a highly complex superior mirage where inverted and erect images are stacked one on top of another causing an object on the horizon to be distorted beyond recognition. The name also refers to Morgan le Fay, mythical figure from the Arthurian legends at once a villain, seductress, witch, healer or goddess, her unquestionable power is dictated by her ability to shape-shift throughout the myths and legends in which she appears.
This personification of a natural phenomenon and anthropomorpic sensibility in humanity gently riffs through Buckley’s work. For the past four years Buckley has been producing multifaceted installations incorporating components ranging from motorised plywood structures, Perspex sculptures, sound and projected moving image. Her idiosyncratic use of light both within her installations and films is exacerbated by the sleek surfaces she includes which reflect projections onto the viewer, or are the focus and subject matter of the films themselves.
Where previously mechanical movement of objects has made up an important part of her installations, in Fata Morgana both the film and the sculpture are static. This allows the fast paced edit of the film and surface of the sculpture to interact with the body and perception of the entering viewer, including and absorbing them into the kaleidoscopic installation.
Originally trained as a painter Buckley now builds upon her experimentation with image making via techniques of scanning. Her recent investigations into the abilities of a flatbed scanner to record objects in motion are entitled Moving Image Series and are included alongside the more overtly sculptural work. By moving readymade and assembled sculptures over the bed of the machine she allows the mobile lens of the scanner to capture their foreshortened surfaces and movement. For Fata Morgana, Buckley has used the most basic form of animation – filming a still image by scrolling it in-front of the cameras lens - in much the same way the objects themselves were moved before the lens of the scanner. Thereby transferring them between sculpture and moving image work to create a physical and visual presence from light rather than paint.
Often shooting her digital footage on a mobile phone or handheld camera Buckley’s projected digital films conjure up memories of early modernist experiments in form and motion by László Moholy-Nagy or Marcel Duchamp’s Rotoreliefs. Focusing on simple everyday encounters with the world, which when absorbed by the entire installation become elements of a larger composition or abstract narrative. By dissolving the resolution between artwork and the body’s encounter with it Buckley allows the viewer to become entirely subsumed by the abstract image causing a hypnotic or trance-like experience.
'Fata Morgana' follows recent solo projects 'The Mean Reds', at Supplement Gallery, London July 2011 and 'Waterlillies' at Mothers Tankstation, Dublin, 2010. Buckley was shortlisted for the first 'Converse/Dazed Emerging Artist Prize' in 2010 and her work has been included in group exhibitions at Stephen Friedman Gallery London, 'Et De Lumiere' (with Jacob Mattner) at 401 Contemporary, Berlin 2010, 'Stage Fright' (with Haroon Mirza and Dave McLean) at Rokeby, London, 2009 and 'Material Presence' at the Zabludowicz Collection, London, 2008. Buckley graduated with an MA from Chelsea College of Art in 2007 and lives and works in East London.

Is Home Care Right For You?
Personality Traits Lead to Longer Life Expectancy
By Pete Lane, 8:00 am on February 9, 2015
While the average life expectancy in the United States is roughly 79 years, there are many factors that go into getting to that magic number or beyond it. Aside from genetics and basic lifestyle choices, research suggests that certain personality traits can also contribute to a longer life.
A general desire to do what’s right, whether it be completing a task in the correct way or helping a friend, can make a senior feel good about themself. This positive feeling of self-esteem can further go on to reduce stress levels and increase the production of endorphins, which can naturally reduce feelings of depression. In addition to being thrifty, prudent and persistent (in a good way), conscientiousness also includes maintaining self-control and being reasonably well-organized.
People of any age who are naturally optimistic tend to do more to take care of themselves, whether it be getting regular exercise or taking other preventative measures like going to the doctor for periodic checkups throughout the year. People who are optimistic are also more likely to maintain a positive attitude when receiving treatment for conditions like cancer or while recuperating from surgery or illness, increasing the odds of recovery.
While it’s only human to experience a wide range of emotions, laughter really is the best medicine when it comes to living longer. Studies suggest that maintaining a positive attitude and frequently finding the humor in life may just add some much-appreciated years to one’s life.
Human interaction can lead to everything from experiencing new things to having a sense of purpose in one’s senior years. One study suggests that maintaining strong social connections can boost survival odds by as much as fifty percent. Being outgoing or naturally extroverted can also be helpful since keeping emotions bottled up can lead to stress-related conditions like ulcers and insomnia.

John Jay College wins major expansion approval
Special Permit • Clinton, Manhattan
John Jay faced the largest space deficit in the CUNY system. On January 5, 2005, the Planning Commission approved the 513,500 sq.ft. expansion plan for John Jay College of Criminal Justice, which, with its link to John Jay’s Haaren Hall along Tenth Avenue between West 58th and West 59th Streets, will create a unified urban campus occupying the full city block from Tenth to Eleventh Avenues between West 58th and West 59th Streets.
In addition to John Jay’s Haaren Hall along Tenth Avenue, the 160,700 sq.ft. city block contains a 320,000 sq.ft. warehouse, housing a newspaper distribution center, a general contractor’s office and two parking lots, and a below-grade rail line for Amtrak’s Empire Line. The manufacturing building would be demolished and a small 6,580 sq.ft. development platform constructed over the Amtrak rail line for the expansion. (read more…)

NRW state premier calls for 'week of coal exit decisions'
The state premier of Germany's most populous federal state North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), Armin Laschet, has called for a "week of decisions" regarding the country's planned coal phase-out, Birgit Marschall and Kristina Dunz report for the newspaper Rheinische Post. Ahead of a meeting between chancellor Angela Merkel and the heads of Germany's coal mining states on Wednesday, Laschet said the federal states need guarantees that financial support will be granted to facilitate the structural shift away from coal "over the long run, legally binding and regardless of future election dates." The state premier said the federal government has to "provide the regions with planning security for mastering the structural economic change."
Laschet's colleagues from eastern German mining states had called for an interstate agreement between the federal government and the states that would give the states legal certainty that the 40 billion euros earmarked for structural support from the federal budget will be disbursed. According to the article, finance minister Olaf Scholz is opposed to an interstate treaty, as this would already oblige the finance ministry now to set aside the money that is set to be distributed until 2038, the year in which the coal exit is supposed to be completed at the very latest.
In a separate article by the news agency dpa carried by the website Focus Online, the state premier of eastern Saxony-Anhalt, Reiner Haseloff, criticised a possible agreement between the economy ministry (BMWi) and coal plant operators to pay billions in compensation for shutting down their plants. "We need this money to create new jobs," Haseloff said, arguing that the funds could be used for investments in hydrogen production, e-mobility or artificial intelligence. "Using large sums to compensate energy companies that close their plants earlier really means squandering this money."
Germany's coal exit commission agreed on phasing out the fossil fuel in January 2019 and the government has vowed to adopt the commission's proposals as closely as possible. However, the phase-out's legal implementation is taking longer than anticipated by the government, with critics saying the entire agreement could be hanging in the balance again. According to media reports, a cabinet decision on the coal exit could take place on 22 January.

ELECTRIC SHIELDS - SAVE OUR SOULS
Label: TEEN SOUND
Catalog no.: TEENS0000068
Straight from the "Eighties Colours" era of The Sick Rose, No Strange, Avvoltoi, Boohoos and many glorious Italian neo garage-psych acts, The Electric Shields were the north-east's favourite band, bringing a unique mix of sixties garage-psych fuzz and farfisa-drenched classic material along with their subsequent folk-country rock phase, influenced by the late Byrds as well as the paisley underground movement of the '80s. Some 25 years later The Electric Shields return with a comeback album totally reminiscent of the late sixties freakbeat era led by the Open Mind, The Attack, and of course the Wimple Winch, including the latest classic 'Save My Soul' and the album's named after the Electric Shields great cover of this very last track of course. Straight from the current Mod scene brilliant organist Fay Hallam gives her contribution to three songs of the album too. The band's back in action, also playing live, don't miss their new exciting recording and show. Sometimes good old bands return, and this is one of those occasions not to be missed.

Killings
Written by: Calvin Trillin
Narrated by: Robert Fass
Written by: Calvin Trillin | Narrated by: Robert Fass
Can’t get enough true crime? Brace yourself for these stories of sudden death and complex lives interrupted by murder — all painted in vivid, masterful detail by an acclaimed journalist. “Every piece here is a gem” (The Seattle Times).
True stories of sudden death in the classic collection by a master of American journalism
“Reporters love murders,” Calvin Trillin writes in the introduction to Killings. “In a pinch, what the lawyers call ‘wrongful death’ will do, particularly if it’s sudden.” Killings, first published in 1984 and expanded for this edition, shows Trillin to be such a reporter, drawn time after time to tales of...
“Reporters love murders,” Calvin Trillin writes in the introduction to Killings. “In a pinch, what the lawyers call ‘wrongful death’ will do, particularly if it’s sudden.” Killings, first published in 1984 and expanded for this edition, shows Trillin to be such a reporter, drawn time after time to tales of sudden death. But Trillin is attracted less by violence or police procedure than by the way the fabric of people’s lives is suddenly exposed when someone comes to an untimely end. As Trillin says, Killings is “more about how Americans live than about how some of them die.”
These stories, which originally appeared in The New Yorker between 1969 and 2010, are vivid portraits of lives cut short. An upstanding farmer in Iowa finds himself drastically changed by a woman he meets in a cocktail lounge. An eccentric old man in Eastern Kentucky is enraged by the presence of a documentary filmmaker. Two women move to a bucolic Virginia county to find peace, only to end up at war over a shared road. Mexican American families in California hand down a feud from generation to generation. A high-living criminal-defense lawyer in Miami acquires any number of enemies capable of killing him.
Stark and compassionate, deeply observed and beautifully written, Killings is “that rarity, reportage as art” (William Geist, The New York Times Book Review).
Praise for Killings
“What Mr. Trillin does so well, what makes Killings literature, is the way he pictures the lives that were interrupted by the murders. Even the most ordinary life makes a terrible noise … when it’s broken off.”-Anatole Broyard, The New York Times
“Fascinating, troubling … In each of these stories is the basis of a Dostoevskian novel.”-Edward Abbey, Chicago Sun-Times
“The stories … are unforgettable. They leave us, finally, with the awareness of the unknowable opacity of the human heart.”-Bruce Colman, San Francisco Chronicle
“In his artful ability to conjure up a whole life and a whole world, Trillin comes as close to achieving the power of a Chekhov short story as can anyone whose material is so implacably tied to fact.”-Frederick Iseman, Harper’s Bazaar
“Violent deaths illuminate complex lives and desperate circumstances in this expanded reissue of the classic collection of the author’s true-crime reporting. . . . With telling detail and shrewd insights, [Calvin Trillin] masterfully evokes the places and personalities that hatched these grim episodes.”-Publishers Weekly

Can one become a Gentle Leader?

James Kavanaugh once suggested that there are “those too gentle to live among the wolves”. I hope this is no longer true in today’s organizations.I believe that the “wolves” have had their day and need to make way for a new breed of manager: The Gentle Leader. Today we need those special leaders who can create a real sense of community and commitment in our organizations. Leaders who see their role as one that serves the greater good, as one that puts the interests of others first, as one that creates places where the lowest of the low are treated with dignity and respect. Leaders who can galvanize people around an idea that stirs their deepest passions. Leaders who believe that position, privilege and wealth is earned only in service of others. Men and women who use words like compassion, sacrifice and forgiveness…and mean them. Leaders who understand kindness and tolerance because these elements are evident in all of their decisions and actions. Leaders who have remarkable faith in others and draw their strength from this faith.
If you are one of these Gentle Leaders, I will admit that you have likely faced formidable opposition throughout your career. Your stellar people skills have been patronized and your collegial nature has been seen as weakness. Your superiors have encouraged you to sharpen your strategic leadership skills (usually code for “please do my job because I can’t do it”) and become more forceful in driving high performance (even though they would never admit to having their performance driven by others). Your teams have always quietly achieved extraordinary results but you have been unable to build any career momentum because you just don’t fit the mold of the upwardly-mobile executive. You have been kept around because you are great at getting important stuff done but are not seen as tough enough to take on a real organization leadership role. I have good news for you….your time has come!
Why now? Simply because many of our organizations have been beaten up to the point of collapse and need the revitalization that can only come from a new kind of leadership. Your kind of leadership. A leadership that graciously sees the best in others, heals festering wounds and crafts a new, exciting story for the organization. And this is not just about being nice to people. This is a business imperative. The bonds of loyalty and commitment have been so weakened that many of our organizations are unable to take advantage of any economic upswing and will be left behind, irrelevant in the next economic chapter. A look inside these organizations reveals talented people who are now living out their careers in quiet desperation. These people are merely going through the motions each day and putting in their time. There is no shortage of advice for today’s leaders. As engagement scores tumble, consultants and writers from previous eras are still imploring our leaders to “drive new behaviors”, ” hold people more accountable”, and “get the wrong people off the bus”. It’s not working, and it’s time for leadership that can inject fresh energy and enthusiasm into our organizations. It’s time for The Gentle Leader.
Other leaders have had their time. During the past century we have been on a relentless journey to create commercial organizations that can survive and thrive in demanding and ever-changing marketplaces. Uniquely-gifted men and women have emerged to lead these organizations. From the early 1900’s until the 80’s our companies were dominated by The Production Systems Leader who organized us around machines and repetitive processes. This leader was needed to bring order and predictability to the horde of individual craftsmen who were trying to serve the emerging markets created by industrialization. This leader was followed by The Quality Performance Leader whose obsession with improvement in work systems and processes resulted in previously unimaginable levels of productivity. The year 2000 birthed today’s Opportunistic Enterprisers, the “wolves” whose mission was to extract maximum value from the convergence of technology, globalization and fast-changing markets. They were asked to build lean, mean organizations, set big, audacious goals, exploit every market opportunity and be satisfied with nothing less than exceptional performance. And they have done this remarkably well. Maybe too well. We seem to have lost something important along the way. We have lost our organizational soul!
Many organizations have become cold and heartless entities that no longer nourish the human spirit and are now incapable of moving forward. In our pursuit of excellence and opportunity, we have somehow lost touch with the very purpose of organizations and have created entities that no longer satisfy our most basic human needs to be appreciated, to learn and to dowork that really matters. When is the last time you saw a leader put community-building at the top of their priority list? When is the last time you have heard a leader speak about compassion and caring as if they really meant it? When have you seen an executive truly make a large personal sacrifice for the good of the lowest paid member of the company?
Can one become a Gentle Leader you ask? Yes, but it is not easy and certainly not for the faint of heart. It may very well be the most challenging transition of your leadership career. It requires exceptional courage, boldness and daring: the courage to confront your needs for accolades and recognition, the boldness to invite each and every member of the organization to put a hand on the organization’s steering wheel, and the daring necessary to commit to a leadership agenda based only on duty and service to others. But the rewards are worth the effort. As a newdecade dawns, you will be the leader who forges new pathways into the future. Now is your time to step up to real organization leadership. But watch out for the wolves. They will not go quietly into the night.

Email controversy highlights CU regents’ problem with climate change
Kelsey Ray
Alternative right-wing news sources were abuzz last week condemning three professors at the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs who forbid classroom debate about the existence of man-made climate change. Though the instructors’ actions have drawn plenty of scorn from conservative media, most mainstream sources — and the university itself — have all but ignored them. But in the lead-up to the CU Board of Regents election, comments on the controversy from one regent highlight the climate change skepticism that exists on the board.
Professors Wendy Haggren, Rebecca Laroche and Eileen Skahill each teach a section of an online course called Medical Humanities in the Digital Age. Late last week, they sent out a classwide email in response to inquiries from multiple students expressing concern that the course wouldn’t be addressing “both sides” of the climate change “debate.”
The email gave several guidelines for the course, including that it accepts the scientific consensus that anthropogenic climate change is both valid and occurring. The professors said that the “other side” of climate change — that it is not happening, or is not human-caused — would be neither taught nor discussed, including in online class forums. They asked that all outside sources used for the course be peer-reviewed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
“If you believe this premise to be an issue for you,” their email concluded, “We respectfully ask that you do not take this course.” The course is an elective for which UCCS offers both online and in-person alternatives this year.
UCCS seemed unfazed by the faculty’s actions. Spokesman Tom Hutton told KKTV News that the professors were simply being straightforward about the topics covered in the course, “No differently than a math professor would say, ‘This class is about algebra; we’re not going to talk about geometry.’”
But conservative media didn’t see it that way. Breitbart News, for example, called the professors’ decision a ban on “free inquiry,” an unfortunate silencing of “inquisitive students who would like to discuss the issue rather than blindly accepting the global warming dogma.”
University of Colorado President Bruce Benson also wanted more “balance” from the professors. In an email The Colorado Independent obtained last week, Benson wrote to the regents about the email controversy.
“I talked with Pam [Shockley-Zalabak, Chancellor of UCCS] about a variety of issues on her campus, including the faculty syllabus that has caused a stir recently,” he said. “I am not happy about it and I shared that with Pam. While the issue falls squarely in the realm of academic freedom, it also seems that a little more balance would have helped.”
CU Regent John Carson, a Republican, went further. “Students deserve more respect than this,” he told the conservative Washington Times in an interview. “They come to the university to be educated, not indoctrinated.”
Carson called the prohibition of debate and dialogue on “a particular public policy issue” — meaning climate change — “alarming.”
“Certainly the climate changes, but I think the real issue is how much does man’s activity on Earth contribute to climate change” he said, adding that he’s “not a scientist.”
Carson isn’t the only one to take issue with prevailing science. Neither he nor regents Susan Sharkey and Steve Bosley have publicly confirmed an acceptance of human-caused climate change.
“I’m not in a position to say that we have a problem with our climate,” said Sharkey at a board of regents meeting in April 2015. She told The Independent via email that she personally believes “there are likely many causes of climate change and that ongoing research is important to address what it undoubtedly a multitude of contributing causes.”
In July, Bosley told The Independent he was skeptical of evidence supporting man-made climate change, noting that some medical doctors in the 1950’s didn’t think smoking was unhealthy.
Bosley is term-limited this year, and Republican Heidi Ganahl and Democrat Alice Madden are fighting for his at-large seat. The hotly contested race could tip the balance of power of the 5-4 Republican majority board for the first time since 1979.
Madden thinks it’s imperative that the regents of a top scientific research university accept prevailing climate science. Ganahl says it’s irrelevant. On her website, she says in a video, “This election for CU regent shouldn’t be about climate change. We can leave that topic to the scientists.” In a phone call, Ganahl said she believes humans contribute to climate change, but isn’t sure how much.
Regents don’t tend to get involved in academic affairs. They can’t, for example, prohibit faculty from researching climate change or from publishing that research. But regent Linda Shoemaker, a Democrat, says having climate deniers on the board is problematic in other ways.
Shoemaker says she’s “appalled” at the recent research on fracking that has come out of the CU Boulder Leeds School of Business, which was funded by the oil and gas industry. “If Democrats gain control, I will call for an end to that kind of pseudo-research,” she said. She also says climate change denial on the board keeps important environmental research from getting the kind of publicity it deserves.
One of the most widely discussed aspects of the regents’ work in recent years has centered around the topic of divestment from fossil fuels. CU can’t actually make direct investments, but has a portfolio of mutual funds, some of which contain investments in fossil fuel companies.
Students across the state have pushed for an end to these investments for years. Earlier this year, CU Boulder student group Fossil Free CU urged students to elect Democratic regents in order to make divestment a priority. Neither Ganahl nor Madden support the policy.
The regents also will be tasked with selecting President Benson’s successor when he leaves office. Whether or not the Democrats take control of the board will likely affect when Benson, a former oil man, decides to step down.
Sharkey said UCCS Chancellor Shockley-Zalabak has assured the regents that students in the course will be graded solely on the merits of their work, not on their beliefs. Regent Carson has requested that the board discuss the matter of the email at the regents meeting in Colorado Springs today. It’s unclear what, if any, further steps they might consider or pursue.

Jim Geddes September 9, 2016 at 11:13 am
Although this article is well written and informative, the real issue is not the global warming “denier” issue, but rather one of denying our students Academic Freedom and the opportunity to receive a high quality balanced education.
These 3 professors have chosen to limit the study and conversation potentially surrounding the controversial “climate Change” subject to a one sided pro-liberal political perspective, which is contrary to the Regents Guiding Principal #6 which directs the University faculty to provide an appropriately balanced presentation, discussion and consideration of such subjects. (www.CU.edu; view “guiding principles” and “laws and policies” of the Regents)
This behavior by these 3 professors damages the quality of education, and the integrity and reputation of the University of Colorado.

LA’s Minimum Wage Workers Just Won $15 an Hour—How Many Will Actually Be Paid That?
Nearly half of Los Angeles just gave itself a raise. Following a wave of state and local minimum-wage bills and initiatives, Los Angeles became one of the largest cities to dramatically raise its hourly base pay and join Seattle to hit the magic $15-an-hour demand pushed by labor and community...
EU Officials Are Considering Bombing Libyan Smuggling Boats. That’s the Last Thing Refugees Need.
Just days after European Union ministers floated a proposal to rescue African migrants on the Mediterranean, the plan is already sinking amid a political impasse on the question of “sharing the burden” of the crisis. Meanwhile, thousands are facing death and torture on the perilous trail to...
Baltimore’s Inescapable Inequality
Freddie Gray died after he tried to run from the police. Some might think he was wrong for provoking a chase, but the thousands of people now protesting across the country know that getting killed as a consequence of running away is like getting killed for trying to breathe: you can’t be blamed for...
What You Should Know About Walmart’s Raise
Remember when Walmart got panned for running a Thanksgiving food drive for its own employees—overlooking the irony of demonstrating noblesse oblige by asking customers to subsidize the workers the company itself impoverished? The retail giant took a more strategic approach last week when rolling...
World AIDS Day: The Journey Ahead
The AIDS crisis was the first true epidemic of the era of globalization. Its rapid and devastating spread blasted through borders and stoked worldwide panic, in part because it seemed relatively democratic in its choice of victims, rich and poor alike. As the crisis “went viral” in a pre-Internet...
This Is Black Friday in Bangladesh
Walmart marks the holiday season this Friday with deals on its Faded Glory women’s sweaters. But this time of year marks a different occasion in another corner of Walmart’s empire: In Bangladesh, survivors and families remember the second anniversary of a massive fire at the Tazreen factory on the...
What Will Happen to the Immigrants Left Out of Obama’s Executive Actions?
In his speech last night announcing his latest executive action on immigration policy, President Obama took great pains to tell the country what his new immigration policy is not: it is not “amnesty,” just a way for people to avoid deportation; it is not citizenship, just work authorization; it won...
How a Fatal Disaster at Mt. Everest Has Turned Into a Full-Blown Labor Struggle
Mount Everest is known as a place that defies gravity, but it’s also a place for upturning social order. To the climber, it’s the pinnacle of a glorious trekking experience. To the anonymous laborer who supports the Westerners’ ascent, it’s a precarious front in a Global South class struggle.
Where Have All the Green Jobs Gone?
The latest Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report is in, reminding us once again that time is running out for governments and industry to decarbonize the economy : Within a generation, policymakers must tighten emissions regulations, shift to clean energy sources, promote greener...
What the French E-mail Meme Reveals About America’s Runaway Culture of Work
Last week, a dazzling meme captured the viral hive-mind of an overstressed generation: French workers had adopted a new labor policy to ban work-related e-mail after 6 pm. The rule would supposedly force managers of workers in tech and consulting jobs to stop sending e-mails and other business...

Home / CSDL
Searching the IEEE Computer Society Digital Library (CSDL)
Tips for how to get the most out of the resources in CSDL.
Explore the CSDL
The CSDL Basic Search includes a dropdown list on the left that lets you focus your search to query against Author, Affiliation, Conference, or DOI.
The search engine automatically looks for plurals, different verb tenses, and British and American spelling variations.
The CSDL search box supports the Boolean operators AND, OR, and NOT.
(Note that they must be in all capital letters, or they’ll be ignored.)
By default, the search engine will automatically AND your terms together and query against the metadata for all articles, including fields such as Article Title, Abstract, Index Terms, and Author Names.
For a string of terms, such as wind energy conversion, the results will include papers that match all three words – although they won’t necessarily be in a phrase or even in the same field.
To match an exact phrase, use quotation marks around your terms. For example, “wind energy conversion” returns results for that exact phrase in that order without stemming or alternate endings, such as plurals.
Adding “NOT” to your search string will exclude results with the specified term in the metadata — for example, “NOT induction.”
The Advanced Search lets you complete detailed queries against specific fields.
To refine the result set, use the facets on the left-hand side of the page.
Category: By default, all publications are included, but you can specify conference proceedings, magazines, journals, or letters.
Year: Search among publications from a single year or a range from 1960 to present.
Publications: Use the filter and checkboxes to identify specific publications to search within.
Authors: This facet displays the authors from the current search results. Use the filter and checkboxes to refine the results further.
Affiliation: Locate articles by authors from specific institutions and companies.
Preprints: Include papers that have been accepted for publication in magazines, journals, and letters that have not yet gone to print.
Access: Search the full CSDL, your subscribed content, or open access (freely available).
At the top of the right-hand column, you’ll find options for the results list:
Export: Export metadata for articles in your search results by marking the checkboxes to the left of those you’re interested in and then invoking the Export function. Selected results will be downloaded in a spreadsheet file format (CSV). If no papers are selected, the top 2,000 results will be returned.
Limit: Choose the number of results to display at a time (10, 25, 50, or 100).
Show Relevance: Search results are automatically sorted by Relevance. You can also choose Newest First or Oldest First.
Show All Publications: Select whether to show results from all Computer Society publications, only those to which you’re subscribed, or open access content available to all users.

REVIEW: THE MIRACULOUS JOURNEY OF EDWARD TULANE at Filament Theatre Through May 26, 2019
Based on book by Kate DiCamillo
Adapted by Dwayne Hartford
Directed by Kathryn Walsh
All production photos by Christian Libonati
Through May 26, 2019
Sensory-friendly performance on Sunday, April 28th
The Filament Theatre’s production of Edward Tulane is as epic a journey in emotions, time, and place as one could hope to experience in 75 minutes. The play, adapted by Dwayne Harford, is based on Kate DiCamillo’s bestselling book of a self-involved porcelain bunny—from the best dollmaker in Paris, if you please. He is loved by the girl Abilene, played by Mariah Copeland, but he neither appreciates nor returns her love.
Edward is a gift from Abilene’s mysterious grandmother, Pellegrina, portrayed with a really creepy, nonchalant scariness by Juanita Andersen. She sees his nature and, perhaps, is instrumental in instigating his life-altering fall from a ship.
From the bottom of the sea, Edward begins to think on things. The adventures he has, people he meets, and love he experiences are deeply touching—and surprising given that Edward cannot move or speak.
Enter his alter-ego, voiced by Nik Kmiecik in words and a very sweet mandolin, allow us to very actively witness Edward’s transformation.
Alejandro Tey plays Abilene’s father. He, Andersen, and Copeland bring to life a diverse cast of characters, from old fisher-people to hobos to farm owners and workers and more. The cast is extraordinary, as individuals embodying several very different people and as a group. They were so present with each other and true to each character they played, that I would have felt seemingly the entire range of human emotion had the play happened in a black box with a single spotlight.
The production, however, was imaginative and beautiful. From set to lighting to props—and the interplay of all those elements with each other and the cast—a charming world was created and the audience, adult and child, was enraptured from start to finish. Expect twists and turns, tears of sorrow and joy, and a deeper understanding of love with all its risks.
Bonus: One nine-year-old in our party is now excited to read the book!
Bring a favorite stuffed animal or doll!
Edward Tulane tells the story of a beloved toy rabbit and his extraordinary adventures. But we know Edward isn’t the only toy with stories to tell! We invite you to bring a favorite stuffed companion to share in our “Pop Up Museum” -- a show-and-tell environment where audience members can share their childhood treasures. Audience members of all ages are invited to participate (Yes, grown-ups, we mean you too!).
Read the book!
Filament’s stage version of The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane is a very faithful adaptation of Kate DiCamillo’s beautiful novel. Get an advance look at the characters and story by purchasing the book in advance, or checking it out at your local library. If your family prefers surprises, reading the book after seeing the show is a great way to extend the experience! The book will be available at the theater for patrons who make an on-site donation of $20 or more.
About the play
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane contains moments of peril, including loss and death. If you have questions about the content and whether it is right for your child, please email us at boxoffice@filamenttheatre.org. The show runs 75 minutes without an intermission.
If you have any questions about your journey to Filament Theatre, we encourage you to view our Plan Your Visit page on our website.
I had a chance to catch this stellar story a few years back at Chicago Children's Theatre and it's truly a treat to see this family friendly favorite come to life on stage. We're so excited Filament Theatre's mounting this production this spring.
Filament Theatre brings to the stage The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, now playing through May 26 at Filament Theatre, 4041 N Milwaukee Avenue, Chicago. Based on Newbery Award winner Kate DiCamillo’s best selling book, adaptor Dwayne Harford has crafted the beloved story for the stage. Director Kathryn Walsh returns to Filament Theatre to bring new life into what the Chicago Tribune calls “the most charming of narratives.” Single tickets are currently available at www.filamenttheatre.org/edward.
The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane will feature Nik Kmiecik as the Musician voicing the inner thoughts of Edward Tulane with Juanita Andersen, Mariah Copeland, and Filament Resident Artist Alejandro Tey filling out the rest of the characters. Kathryn Incardona and Laila Sauer will understudy.
The cast of Filament Theatre’s The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane (top, l to r): Juanita Andersen, Mariah Copeland (bottom, l to r): Nik Kmiecik, Alejandro Tey.
The production team for Edward Tulane includes direction by Kathryn Walsh, original music by Filament Resident Artist Timothy McNulty, costume design by Filament Resident Artist Noël Huntzinger, set design by Sarah Watkins, sound design by Matthew Chapman, lighting design by Jessica Carson, stage management by Sarah Collogne and Emma Franklin, with production assistance from Danny Kapinos, Cat Perez and Auden Granger.
In the words of one young Filament patron, the story of Edward Tulane is “happy, then sad, then all mixed up.” Edward Tulane is an expensive toy rabbit made of china. He is loved by a little girl named Abilene, but Edward has no interest in anyone other than himself. On an ocean voyage, Edward is accidentally thrown overboard and sinks to the bottom of the sea. So begins his journey—a journey over which he has no control, for he is a toy rabbit. He can neither move nor speak. As years pass by, Edward meets many different people in many different situations. Through this miraculous journey, Edward learns what it is to love, what it is to lose that love, and how to find the courage to love again.
Produced by special arrangement with The Dramatic Publishing Company, Inc., Woodstock, Illinois. The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane was originally commissioned, developed and produced at Childsplay in Tempe, Ariz. David P. Saar, artistic director; Steve Martin, managing director.

Just one in four 'skilled migrants' ends up in a top job
By Jack Doyle for the Daily Mail
Highly skilled migrants have been known to take call centre work
Just a quarter of immigrants allowed into the UK because they are ‘highly skilled’ is actually in a top job, a report suggests.
The figures last night prompted a signal from ministers that the entry route will be slashed when numbers are capped.
Home Office analysis of hundreds of migrants showed almost one in three of those given visas because they had desperately needed skills was not using them.
Instead they were either unemployed or working as supermarket cashiers, security guards or call centre staff – jobs which could be filled by British workers.
Immigration minister Damian Green said the study would play a ‘key role’ in determining the level of the cap. ‘While it is important that low-skilled jobs are filled, there are hundreds of thousands of British people who could be doing them instead of a migrant,’ he said.
‘Those coming under the highly skilled migrant route should only be able to do highly skilled jobs – it should not be used as a means to enter the low-skilled jobs market.
‘Investors and entrepreneurs aside, this report questions the value of this route into the UK and the findings will play a key part in discussions on how the annual limit will be shaped.’
The Coalition has pledged to limit the number of workers from outside the EU allowed in to Britain. David Cameron has said net migration will be cut from 196,000 last year to the ‘tens of thousands’.
Business leaders have argued the current interim cap, imposed within weeks of the election, is harming growth. But the study is likely to bolster calls for the bar to be set even lower.
Campaigners said the revelations should mean an end to highly skilled migrants coming in who do not already have guaranteed employment offers.
ANDREW ALEXANDER: Britain is going to pay a high price for globalisation
Sir Andrew Green, of Migrationwatch UK, said: ‘This must surely spell the end of so-called skilled migrants coming to Britain in search of a job. That route should be cancelled to allow some headroom for skilled people who employers actually want.’
Last year a total of 18,780 migrants were handed so-called Tier 1 visas. The route is aimed at highly skilled workers from outside the EU and is also a way for post-graduate students from overseas to extend their stay in the UK. It also allows in super rich investors and proven entrepreneurs who want to start businesses in the UK.
Astonishingly, those who do not find highly skilled jobs have not breached the terms of their visa and cannot be removed.
Once here, they can apply to bring in their husband or wife, and children.
Officials analysed a sample of 1,184 forms completed by post-graduate and highly skilled migrants who wanted to bring in dependants, in which they must declare their work status and employer.
The results showed only one in four was in a skilled job. Another 29 per cent were in unskilled roles that did not earn them the £25,000 they would need to extend their visa. Of those, nearly half had been in the country for at least a year.
Some 46 per cent of cases were classified as ‘unclear’ because the applicants failed to give job details.
Indian, Pakistani and Nigerian migrants account for around three quarters of those granted Tier 1 visas – with Indians making up more than one third and Pakistani nationals more than one in ten.
The report said: ‘Economic conditions at the time of this study may also mean this group [Tier 1] have found it harder to acquire employment than another similar group of applicants would do in a period of economic growth’.
The cap is set to be determined by Christmas.

It's not easy being green... or pregnant: Jessica Simpson steps out in emerald muumuu and holds fiancé's arm for support as she teeters in heels
Kermit The Frog made famous his song, It's Not Easy Being Green.
And for Jessica Simpson she could easily replace the hue for the word pregnant as she struggled along to an event yesterday wearing a bright emerald shade.
The mother-to-be wore a floor length mumu with black embroidered trim with her long blonde hair following simply around her shoulders.
Scroll down for video...
Not easy being green: Jessica Simpson covered up her huge baby bump in an emerald green muumuu during a night out with fiancé Eric Johnson
Pretty: The first time mother-to-be looked glowing with just simple make-up
And ever the diva, she refused to give up her heels even at this stage of her pregnancy and teetered along in platform sandals.
Tune: The Muppets character Kermit The Frog sang about it not being easy being green
She held on to fiancé Eric Johnson's arm for dear life to steady herself as she tried to maintain her balance.
He looked proud having his lady love on his arm and was casually dressed as they attended the rehearsal dinner for a friend of theirs at Rancho Mirage in Palm Springs.
It comes as pictures of Jessica are splashed all across billboards in the Big Apple to promote her collection.
The images show the fashion mogul pre-pregnancy and include one of her sitting on a wooden swing with her legs crossed.
Jessica's fashion empire is said to be a billion dollar business and has made her very wealthy woman. She runs the company with her mother Tina.
The 31-year-old singer told Jimmy Kimmel earlier this week that she had been told by doctors that the excess fluid was to blame for her larger than average baby bump.
And last week Jessica told chat show host Ellen that she still has a month to go, as the star is due to give birth April 20th.
Jessica joked: 'I feel I have a bowling ball sitting on my hoo haa!'
She then added candidly: 'Apparently I have a lot of amniotic fluid, so whenever my water breaks it will be like a fire hydrant!'
'Apparently I have a LOT of amniotic fluid!' Jessica Simpson told Jimmy Kimmel about her larger than average baby bump on his talk show earlier this week
Bowling along: Jessica, seen here at her baby shower on Sunday, added that she felt like she had a 'bowling ball on her hoo haa'
Jessica also spoke about how she and fiancé Eric Johnson met, and when they are planning to tie the knot.
She said: 'Eric feels like my husband already, we are just doing it a little bit backwards. We met at my house - he just came with one of my friends to my house, we were watching March madness or something.
'He came over and we sat on my stairwell and talked and I just haven't let him leave!'
Jessica's interview came as she was promoting her new TV show Fashion Star, and just a day after her baby shower.
Getting ready: Jessica earlier tweeted a picture of herself getting primped and preened ahead of the show
Talking about the shower, which was attended by her sister Ashlee and famous friends including Ellen Pompeo and Jessica Alba, Jessica said:' I just had a baby shower yesterday which was unbelievable.
'It was a Charlotte's web thing - we had a whole fair. We had fried Oreos.'
Asked by Kimmel if she was nervous about giving birth, Jessica said: 'No, I'm ready to push!'

CELEBRITY BRIEFS
Daily Press
Richardson is 'in it to win it,' Jackson declares
Believe it, Chesapeake. "American Idol" contestant and emerging home-town hero Chris Richardson is starting to look like a favorite.
He bowled over the show's judges Tuesday night with a performance that oozed confidence and vocal strength.
Dedicating his song to his grandmother -- "Big Mama," as he called her -- Richardson sang a solid version of "Geek in the Pink" originally recorded by fellow Virginian Jason Mraz.
For once, the show's judges were unanimous.
"Chris is in it to win it tonight, dog," said Randy Jackson. "I'm lovin' you."
The notoriously sour Simon Cowell called him the "best tonight -- by a mile."
Richardson looked relaxed at the microphone, dancing and putting an energetic spin on the funky tune. He also dressed casually, in a striped sweater jacket and jeans.
The judges were surprised that Richardson picked such a sassy tune to sing for his dear grandmother. But in a taped segment, Richardson explained that his Big Mama doesn't like to sit still. "She so spunky and energetic," he said. "She lives like she's 20."
Even though he knew she would prefer a country song, he said "she loves to dance, so I had to do it upbeat."
Viewers casting telephone votes will decide which two of the show's 10 remaining male contestants will be eliminated. Results will be announced on Thursday's show. *
Writing-directing duo fuel the 'Babel' feud
The chasm grows even wider between the filmmaking duo who gained worldwide success with movies about the connections among disparate locations and characters -- and people are taking sides.
Director Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu and screenwriter Guillermo Arriaga have accused each other of trying to steal the spotlight amid the success of their latest film, "Babel." Now Inarritu and other "Babel" collaborators, including actors Gael Garcia Bernal and Adriana Barraza and composer Gustavo Santaolalla, have signed a letter criticizing Arriaga for "claiming media attention."
"It's a shame that in your unjustified obsession to claim sole responsibility for the film, you seem not to recognize that movies are an art of deep collaboration," said the letter, published in the latest edition of Mexico's Chilango magazine, released Monday. *
Watts, Schreiber expecting first child
Naomi Watts and her boyfriend, Liev Schreiber, are expecting.
News of the Australian actress' pregnancy was released Sunday by fashion-design firm Escada, which created the yellow gown Watts wore to the Academy Awards.
The dress "set off her most precious new asset, the baby she is expecting with long time boyfriend Liev Schreiber," the company's press release read.
Schreiber confirmed the news on "Late Night with Conan O'Brien" Monday, saying, "Yes, I'm going to be a dad." *
Elizabeth Taylor celebrates her 75th
A red carpet fit for a queen was laid out Tuesday for Hollywood icon Elizabeth Taylor, who was to celebrate her 75th birthday at a party at a Lake Las Vegas resort.
"Family and friends" of Taylor booked the Medici Cafe and Terrace for the closed party at the Ritz-Carlton, hotel spokeswoman Marina Nicola said.
The guest list remained secret, but 75 people were expected for dinner and cake at the resort, which is 17 miles east of the Las Vegas Strip. *

'I’m just following orders!' Watch as 'council worker' uses COCO POPS to fill giant pothole
Showing Scottish humour at its best - and weirdest - the clip has gone viral after being shared on a Facebook page called ‘East Ayrshire Cooncil’.
Nina Glencross
Scottish humour can come in all forms but the best is often just the downright weird.
So when a video of a Scottish prankster disguised as a council worker pouring Coco Pops and milk into a pothole crops up on social media, it’s hardly surprising when it goes viral.
And that’s exactly what happened when a Facebook page called ‘East Ayrshire Cooncil’ shared one such clip.
A 'council worker' uses Coca Pops to fill potholes
Edinburgh trains delayed after naked man spotted running on the tracks
The cheeky spoof involves a man behind the camera approaching what seems to be a council worker in a hi-vis jacket pouring the chocolate cereal into the hole.
The foul-mouthed cameraman confronts the prankster, asking him what he’s up to.
When he insists he’s “fixing the potholes”, the man jokingly asks: “With f****** Coco Pops?”
The so-called ‘council worker’ insists: “There’s only £6million to fix the potholes so this is a cheaper alternative.”
The prankster insists it's a 'cheaper alternative'
When asked “You’re having a f****** laugh, aren’t you?”, the prankster remains completely straight-faced, replying: “Look pal, you’re going to need to let me get on with my job.”
He grabs an eight-pint carton of milk and starts pouring it onto the cereal while adding: “I’m just following orders!”
At the time of writing, the clip has had almost 900,000 views and over 16,000 shares.
Thousands left comments on the post, from witty reactions to complaints about the men wasting food.
The clip has gone viral on Facebook
Search launches for much-loved tortoise stolen from popular tourist attraction
One said: “Well they do fill a hole when your hungry so its a wonder the council round he[re] dont use them would do a better job than the mess they do with the tar”
Another wrote: “My cereal of choice for this would be Weetabix once that hardens well we all know what it’s like getin af a breakfast bowl”
Some weren’t happy with seeing their favourite breakfast food go to waste with one writing: “I hope he’s gonna get a spoon and start munching that the waster.”
But one played along with the joke, adding: “[At] Least [E]ast got real coco pops. North got Aldi f****** rice crispies”

Look inside this £3 million Cornwall dream home near Bude
It comes with 357 acres of land
Daniel Aston
Sign up to FREE daily email alerts from CornwallLive - Daily
Dream homes aren't all about blissful waterside locations - and this seven-bedroom farmhouse shows why.
Sudcott Park resides in a partly-wooded expanse of countryside in north east Cornwall, just five miles from Crackington Haven and seven from Bude.
The home affords panoramic views of the rural surrounds and sits within some 357 acres of land.
On the market with Kivells estate agents, the park is a productive and well-housed, ring-fenced farm which was formerly used almost entirely for arable production but is presently down to grass.
The centre piece of the land is the farmhouse which totals over 4,700 sq ft to provide what its agents describe as "exceptional family accommodation" while also providing the potential to become part of the B&B market.
A spokesperson from Kivells said: "Standing in a slightly elevated position, the farmhouse was constructed on a 'greenfield site' around ten years ago by highly respected builders engaged by the present owners.
"Great thought was given to its design resulting in a handsome family house with all of the rooms of a very good size and height with plenty of natural light."
The property is fully central heated and double glazed, with care having been taken to select solid four-panelled doors with high skirting boards to add character throughout.
Look inside Sudcott Park
A slate flagged entrance porch awaits at the entrance with a solid timber door leading to the reception hall. From here, an archway takes you to the main hallway which bears French windows to the outside terrace and doors to all of the principal living rooms.
The kitchen and breakfast area also boasts French windows through which to soak up the panoramic views at the start of the day.
Chy Bar and Koola Club in Newquay are on the market for £1.5 million
Natural light bathes the drawing room with windows on three sides and an open fireplace at its centre. The formal dining room, which is presently used as a study, also boasts a central open fireplace for cosy winter evenings.
Four bedrooms lie on the first floor, three being en-suite, with the accommodation on this level completed by a family bathroom and nursery room. The second floor comprises three further bedrooms, one of which en-suite, and an additional family bathroom.
Outside, a sweeping gravel drive leads to a wide parking area adjacent to the garage building. This building provdes a car port, garage parking, a pair of kennels and outside runs, tack and boot room, wet room, gardeners' WC and garden store, and large first floor room which lies over most of the above.
The kitchen and breakfast area boasts sweeping views of the countryside
A covered walkway leads from here to the back door of the house. The front and rear terraces are surrounded by extensive lawns with fenced tennis court and, at a higher level, further lawns are interspersed with trees, kitchen garden and soft fruit cage, greenhouse and chicken run.
Set away from the house is a range of modern farm buildings. A spokesperson from Kivells said: "The farm has been exceptionally well maintained, is well fenced, gated and in very good heart."
The farm and its structures are said to have been well-maintained and present the option of being adapted to different uses.
First-time buyers in Cornwall are increasingly opting for 35-year mortgages
The 357 acres of land comprises a productive run of pasture land which is contained in good-sized enclosures. These enclosures are divided by traditional Cornish hedge-banks and are described as being suitable for easy field work.
The land is for the most part level or gently sloping and is interspersed with steep, wooded valleys.
All of this can be yours for £3,000,000. For further information, contact Kivells on 01392 252262.

Kanye West Is Back on Instagram with a Mysterious Valentine for Kim Kardashian
Kanye West deleted his Instagram account on 5 March 2017 and has remained as under-the-radar as Kanye West can possibly be until now, when his long-dead @kanyewest handle resurfaced on Valentine’s Day.
His first post was an image of a blank white card with ‘Happy Valentine’s Day Babe’ hand-written on it, and while he did not tag his famous wife Kim Kardashian in the post, it’s safe to assume she’s his valentine this year.
Following the card, Kanye posted several photos of famous celebrity couples, some of whom are still together while others quite famously fell apart.
He has Michelle Obama and Barack Obama, who are still together:

Yeah, there’s a lot going on here. Other couples included are Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee (yes, Pamela is there twice), Gwyneth Paltrow and Brad Pitt (super not together any more), Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere (were married for four years and are now essentially strangers), and Madonna and Sean Penn (Madonna famously accused Sean Penn of domestic violence), which makes the Obamas the only lasting couple he has so far posted.
Maybe Kanye is making a weird anti-Valentine statement? Maybe he’s trying to say that his love for Kim is stronger than what these celebrities had for each other. Maybe he’s just going to bust out with a new album that references the Obamas and three decades of notorious celebrity break-ups! As always with Kanye, the world is a step behind his beautiful, dark, twisted mind.
Happy Valentine’s Day, Kim and Kanye. I think.

Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care Reveals Second Coloring Book Featuring Cottman Man and Transmission Physician for Holiday Season
Home » Blog » Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care Reveals Second Coloring Book Featuring Cottman Man and Transmission Physician for Holiday Season
Auto Repair Brand Delivers Car Care-Themed Coloring and Activities Book to Make a Positive Impact on Local Boys and Girls Clubs and Other Children’s Groups
HORSHAM, PA – Cottman Transmission and Total Auto Care continues to make bringing holiday magic to local communities both a priority and an opportunity to spread awareness of basic car maintenance to people of all ages this year.
Cottman has announced that it will again be donating its children’s coloring and activity book for the second year in a row, this time to local chapters of Boys and Girls Club, Big Brothers Big Sisters and Girls, Inc. across the country this holiday season.
“When we delivered our first coloring and activity book starring the Cottman Man to local children’s hospitals last year, we were overwhelmed by the response and humbled at the chance make a difference in the lives of children,” said Derik Beck, Cottman’s vice president of digital marketing. “Cottman prides itself on setting an example of community involvement in the automotive aftermarket industry, and giving back to local families, especially children, is an essential component of our company values. The holiday season is a chance for us to say thank you to everyone in our local markets and we are grateful for the chance to spread car care knowledge through a fun, accessible coloring book to as many area kids as possible.”
The coloring book features both the Cottman Man, the lovable character who has hosted his own blog and taken on a fresh look in a series of animated online shorts; and the highly decorated Transmission Physician, the new digital star at Cottman who shares specialized, transmission-specific advice in her award-winning video series.
“We’re excited to collaborate with Cottman to provide girls a fun, creative way to learn about car care and the automotive industry,” said Penn Sheppard, Director of Learning Central at Girls Inc. “The Transmission Physician character shows girls that women can be leaders in traditionally male-dominated fields. She is breaking barriers and resisting gender stereotypes. She is a strong, smart, and bold role model for girls.”
The leading automotive aftermarket industry innovator is sharing its creative coloring books with kids at more than 150 local chapters of Boys and Girls Club, Big Brothers Big Sisters and Girls, Inc., from coast to coast. This includes the following:

(Not listed are over 60 Girls, Inc. locations that Cottman donated to as well.)
The original Cottman coloring book distributed during the 2016 holiday season featured the Cottman Man on both coloring and activity pages that both engaged kids on basic car maintenance points, and also underscore Cottman’s commitment to giving back during the holiday season and throughout the year.
The new coloring book distributed this year will showcase not only the Cottman Man, but also the Transmission Physician. The Transmission Physician web series is a standout component of Cottman’s broader catalogue of educational digital content. Using fun, accessible animation and themes, Cottman shares its educational videos on the brand’s website as a way for consumers to learn more about common car care topics. So far, the Transmission Physician educational video series has won a platinum dotcom Award, Summit Award, a bronze Telly Award and a Gold Medal from the Hermes Creative Awards.
“The Cottman coloring books are a playful reminder of the importance aspect of being a grown-up: auto care and maintenance. Many young people facing adversity understand the preciousness of this resource, but are not prepared to preserve and maintain an automobile,” said Jeri Swinton, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Kentuckiana. “Further, if our families are not educated consumers in auto care and maintenance, they may be taken advantage of and spend far more than necessary to operate a vehicle. We appreciate The Cottman Man and the Transmission Physician as role models of knowledge, with values that align with being a responsible grown-up, just like our Big Brothers and Big Sisters!”
Also for the second year in a row, Advance Auto Parts has partnered with Cottman to cover some of the costs of printing the coloring books to be distributed to area children in time for the holidays.
“Advance Auto Parts has long shared the same values of giving back and making an impact in the local community as Cottman, and we’re proud to partner with the brand on this meaningful donation,” said Scott Krinsky, Advance’s Director of Strategic Accounts. “We look forward to being a part of Cottman’s efforts to give back in the future, and we hope our help on this project helps make the holidays a little more festive for kids across the country.”
The new coloring book represents Cottman’s dedication to the communities it serves, not only to provide trustworthy, affordable transmission and car care services, but also to ensure all families are able to celebrate the holidays as valued members of their community.
“Providing car care services goes beyond making sure consumers are happy when they drive away from our locations. We want to make sure every family can depend on Cottman for a safe, reliable vehicle that helps them accomplish their goals and meet their responsibilities every day,” added Beck. “As we deliver this second set of coloring books to area children’s groups, it’s a reminder that car care can touch many aspects of a family’s life, and it reinforces how Cottman is connected with our communities and our customers all year long, but especially while giving thanks during the holidays.”

The Ultimate Guide to Learning Photography: Composition Rules
Photography Rules of Composition: Think Twice Before You Break These 5 Rules
Creative stipulations may sound like it belongs on the list of oxymorons right alongside jumbo shrimp and bitter-sweet, but rules can either be restricting — or inspirational. Composition is full of both photography rules and techniques. Using lines, emphasizing pattern and filling the frame, for example, are all techniques that are helpful in fine-tuning compositional skills, but they’re not rules.
Photography rules, on the other hand, are true more often than not. You can shoot a good photo without using pattern, for example, but, most of the time, the Rule of Thirds will get you a better shot than without. Photography rules are not unbreakable — great images have been taken that disregard things like the Rule of Thirds — but unlike techniques, they can be applied to almost any image, unlike, say, the technique of emphasizing patterns, which may not exist in every scene. Understanding different compositional techniques along with these five photography rules for composition help create stronger images.
How to use basic photography composition rules in your work
How to apply The Rule of Thirds
Tips for using the Phi Grid or Golden Triangle composition techniques
What is ‘The Rule of Odds’?
Basic rules for cropping limbs in photography
The Rule of Thirds
The Rule of Thirds is one of photography’s most well known “rules” and it’s one that’s rather simple for beginners to pick up. Imagine that your image is divided into three sections both vertically and horizontally, like a tic-tac-toe board:
— Photo: Casey Cosley
The Rule of Thirds suggests that placing the subject on one of those lines — or better yet, where two of those lines intersect — creates a stronger composition.
The Rule of Thirds does a few things for composition. First, it gets new photographers off the habit of centering the subject by default and thinking about the entire frame. Second, it creates empty space that helps draw the viewer’s eye into the subject.
Simple to use yet easy to vary by adjusting what line the subject falls on, the rule of Thirds is a good starting point for choosing what should go in the frame and where.
The Golden Ratio is the Rule of Thirds all grown up and decked out in it’s Sunday best. Based on ratios that look pleasing to the human eye, this photography rule has been around since before photography itself, used in infamous artwork like the Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.
Based on the 1 to 1.618 ratio, the Golden Ratio is a design concept based on numbers that Leonardo Fibonacci devised in the 12th century to create a “perfect” design — and in fact the Golden Ratio is seen in nature in things like the spiral of a nautilus sea shell.
The Golden ratio can be applied in a number of different ways. The original Fibonacci Spiral puts those so-called perfect numbers onto a spiral, like this:
— Photo: Milo Zanecchia
By placing the most important elements of the photo in the smallest portion of that spiral, the eye is naturally led through that image. Why the Fibonacci Spiral works is anyone’s guess, but it does — and there’s plenty of historic artwork to prove it.
The spiral can also be simplified a bit into a grid. Much like the Rule of Thirds, the Phi Grid divides the image into threes, only instead of dividing them equally, the lines are based on that ratio, with the middle sections taking up .618 of the space that the outer sections takes up. That means those middle sections, both vertically and horizontally, are closer together and you end up with a grid like this:
— Photo: Matt McMonagle
Using the Phi Grid is very similar to following the Rule of Thirds, it’s just a bit more refined and tailored to a ratio that’s proven to be more appealing. Many camera models allow you to turn on a grid based on either the Rule of Thirds or the Golden Ratio, so that you don’t have to guesstimate where that .618 ratio line falls.
Golden Triangles
First the Golden Ratio, now the Golden Triangles? The Phi Grid (and the Rule of Thirds) works well for vertical and horizontal subjects — but what if yours is neither? The Golden Triangle concept is a guideline for composing with scenes and subjects that have more of a diagonal shape.
Instead of imaging the image as evenly parted into threes, draw a diagonal line from one corner to the opposite one. Then, using either one of the remaining corners, draw a line up to the first imaginary line, like this:
Placing the objects in the photographs along one of those lines or within one of the resulting triangles helps create a strong composition, even using objects that have a more diagonal shape to them.
Rule of Odds
Even simpler yet is the Rule of Odds. Using an odd number, whether that’s for the subject or objects in the background, tends to be more visually appealing than using even numbers.
Why? Odd numbers have a middle — when you use even numbers, the eye tends to fall on the empty space between them. In odd sets, the tendency to see the middle only emphasizes the pattern, instead of detracting from it. Like other rules, the Rule of Odds is not infallible, but a good compositional rule to help guide your choices.
Portrait Photography Rule: Avoid Cropping at Limbs
Unless you are shooting a whole-body portrait, composition when photographing people involves determining just what parts to keep in and what to keep out. Which, of course, brings another photography rule: Don’t crop at the joints.
Why? Cropping at the joints feels like an amputation, whether that’s as you shoot (recommended to keep the resolution intact) or in post. When you leave a bit after the joint (or crop it before) the eye naturally fills in the missing details and it doesn’t look so awkward. Avoid cropping at the toes, ankles, knees, fingers wrists and elbows. In a close-up, cropping off a small part of the head is fine, but leave the ears intact.
Understanding the photography rules of composition is essential to creating stronger images — and knowing which rule to follow. Sometimes, breaking a rule leads to a good photo, like ignoring the rule of Thirds and Golden ratio to center the subject and emphasize symmetry. But, more often than not, understanding the rules of composition help create stronger photographs.

Through CRL, knowledgeable individuals at college, university, and independent research libraries in the United States, Canada and Hong Kong work together to identify, preserve, and acquire collections that support advanced research and teaching. CRL promotes the efforts of these communities of interest by maintaining and providing access to the extensive shared collections they build. Three longstanding collection building programs enable CRL libraries to expand the range of essential source materials available to researchers at their institutions while minimizing local acquisition, processing and storage costs.
CRL’s Member Liaison & Outreach Services Director works with librarians, faculty, and students from member libraries to identify and select materials for addition to CRL collections.
Collections at CRL are also built by specialized "communities of interest" working under the CRL umbrella. Chief among those cooperative efforts are the Area Materials Projects and Global Resources Programs, which preserve and provide for researchers important documentation from all world regions. Librarians, area specialists and scholars identify materials that are at-risk and/or not readily available to North American researchers and facilitate access through microfilming, digitization, description, and other means. These efforts focus on six major world areas:

Tell Me Who To Vote For
By Chaos, August 24, 2011 in Current Events
Mare Incognitum
In the coming election.
Right now I'm thinking that Paul Ryan seems like a good candidate. If you convince me that I'm wrong, I won't vote for him.
I need to do more research, and I think that the collective knowledge of cross-x will help me to make a good decision.

Right now I'm thinking that Ryan Paul seems like a good candidate. If you convince me that I'm wrong, I won't vote for him.
He will not secure the Republican nomination and will thus not be an electable candidate. Feel free to vote for him in the primaries though.

Wouldn't that be called 'Ron Paul Ryan'?
Typos are annoying.
Is Paul Ryan actually running? If not, that would probably be a good reason to vote for someone else...
Well, unless you're planning on voting for someone other than me. In that case I'd prefer that you do vote for Paul Ryan.
I just looked it up. There's an NPR story from 7 hours ago that says he's not running. But Paul Ryan was just a starting point, I was only vaguely thinking that he'd be good. The main reason that I started this thread was so I could hear ideological debates about the positions of the different candidates who are running... please?
Well, Michelle Bachmann says she can lower gas prices to $2/gallon. I believe she can achieve that goal, but I see that as more of a threat than a promise.
I have real concerns about Rick Parry and Santorum because of their open willingness to make national policy decisions based on the edicts of their particular religious faiths. I have no problem with strongly religious people in office (and I couldn't care less that Romney and Huntsman are Mormons), but I think it is very much a problem when the tenets of a particular religion are enacted into law solely or primarily because of their religious character. That kind of policy-making is divisive, offensive, and contrary to the values of pluralism and religious neutrality that I think the US should embody and promote.
(Something about Ron Paul)
As for Mitt Romney, he seems like he's trying really hard to be president, you cannot fault him for lack of desire. But he reminds me a lot of John McCain in 2000 and 2008. I think that if you took McCain or Romney and put them in a room where they could govern as they pleased without any input from the outside world or having to worry about election/re-election, they would probably be amazing, moderate leaders (sure, a right-leaning moderate, but the kind of non-polarizing moderate that would usually get huge support from across the political spectrum). But because he is so moderate (hell, let's be honest and say "reasonable"), Romney thinks that he'd fail in the GOP primaries if he ran on his record as governor. So instead he's changed his mind on loads of issues (or, at the very least, refused to acknowledge some of his own past successes). This means that primary voters see Right Romney now on the campaign trail, but they have reason to be concerned that Reasonable Romney would be the one to move into the White House. As a result, I expect Romney (like McCain before him) will have to give primary voters some assurances that they would get Right Romney (promising certain policies, surrounding himself with certain people, etc.), but ultimately those same assurances will lose him general election support, perpetuate our horribly divisive politics, and Obama will end up beating McCain #2 anyway.
If you want Barack Obama to win, vote for Obama.
If you want Obama to win and the Democrats regain congress, vote for Bachmann in the primaries.
If you want Obama win as well as the Democrats win coongress but actually have to debate/confront issues in the campaign, vote Paul.
If you want Obama to win but the Republicans keep both houses, vote for Perry or Romney.
MrMarantz 385

The main problems with each candidate:
Romney - Romneycare will smoke him with the Tea Party
Perry - Bush comparisons
Bachman - "Controversial positions" (batshit crazy)
Paul - Too liberal on social issues
Source: Sabato's Crystal Ball
Romney - Magic Underwear
Perry - Graduated from a state school with a 2.2GPA.
Bachman - Has never sponsored a bill that later became law.
Paul - Does not understand evolution. Litmus test failed.
How elitist of you.
Biology isn't relevant to the presidency, and it seems like Romney and most other R candidates wouldn't believe in evolution either.
Paul really seems like the best option.
I might just vote for him anyway, even though he'll lose.
The point of a political litmus test is that it gives insight into the candidate's thought process, more than just their stance on that one issue. So biology may not be particularly relevant, but the blind rejection of widely-accepted science probably is relevant.
And nothing says you have to pick an R candidate...
I don't think that believing in creationism is the equivalent of rejecting all science. I'm 99% sure that he believes that science is good, just like every other American who uses technology like computers and the automobile. It's probably more of a political move than anything else to go on record saying that you don't believe in evolution, and all other candidates are Christian too, which means they share a similar set of biases.
Even a non Christian candidate would still be human, and thus have biases. There's nothing to show that Paul's biases would be more extreme.
If there's a Democrat who's serious about cutting spending, I'll definitely vote for them. I don't know of any, but that's what this thread is for. I thought that it was mostly Republicans who were talking about cutting spending, but now that I think about it, that seems like a convenient political strategy for most of them. If a Democrat said they'd cut spending (during the primaries), it wouldn't be politically strategic, which means that I'd trust them much more.
A Democrat who's willing to cut spending significantly actually sounds ideal. I just don't think there are any.

Obama's capitulation to Republican demands on the debt ceiling seem to suggest he's the Democrat for you!
I thought that it was mostly Republicans who were talking about cutting spending, but now that I think about it, that seems like a convenient political strategy for most of them.
Yeah, Republicans do talk a lot about the debt and cutting spending. But they tend to suck at it once they get into the White House.
Edit: Even the tea party's own short-sighted policies don't appear to be cutting spending (and may in fact increase spending substantially). So be wary of any GOP candidate that gets too cozy with the base.
How so? I would prefer to be governed by someone who was either smart enough or invested enough in the value of education to get better grades.
Many Christian candidates, such as Obama, accept the scientific method and support evidence based judgements. That a candidate does not accept evolution is not an indication that they "reject[] all science," but rather that they base their views of how the world functions in such a way that openly ignores evidence. There is a big difference in believing in the unprovable (e.g. religion) and disbelieving the proven. This is the thought process point that Ian brought up. You bring up a good point that it may only be a political move. This is hard to say. I would hope that Paul with his advanced training in science that he would know better than to actually believe what he articulates. I'd like to say that there's something worrying about a politician lying to the public, but to say one could base one's voting decision on that would be naive.
This is true, but as Ian hints at, there probably aren't any other electable candidates willing to cut spending either. Cutting spending has some popularity in the abstract, but when you get to specific discussions of where the money should come from it becomes politically impossible, in the current social climate. To paraphrase John Steward, something is only an entitlement if it benefits somebody else. If you are benefiting then it is the hallmark of a civilized society.

To paraphrase John Steward, something is only an entitlement if it benefits somebody else. If you are benefiting then it is the hallmark of a civilized society.
Plus, we're still in a shitty economy. Like it or not, but cutting government spending during a slow economy generally makes things much worse, not better (as explained by Keynesian economic theory). So cutting spending in the next presidential term will not only be unpopular, but may actually be the objectively wrong play.
The quicker we get into real recovery, the quicker we can make cuts easier, pay down debt, and/or do other long-term financial health moves.
There is a big difference in believing in the unprovable (e.g. religion) and disbelieving the proven.
1) You're conflating science with technology
2) They do have a problem with the scientific heuristic for understanding the world
Really? Not liking increased spending is radically different than not believing in evolution. One is an opinion, a normative description of what should happen-- evolution is a verifiable fact about material reality.
Why do you care what they say? Obama has been Bush 2.0-- the spinelessness he showed in the debt ceiling debate was amazing. He will cave and cut more.
Vote obama?
Kidding. On an unrelated note, if Palin were running in the primaries, I would register as a Republican just so I could help get her the nomination.

The child who was being held by his mother in the bus seat, was one of eight injured in the bus crash and taken to Princess Margaret Hospital where he late died. Edoardo Antoniazzi‘s mother, Alice Zanette, reportedly from Susegana, Italy and his father Loris Antoniazzi, 38, were also injured during the accident.
The bus driver, Randolph Xavier, 67, of Eggleston, lost control of the vehicle after it collided with a concrete curb and then the vehicle plunged into a 140 feet precipice. It landed on a concrete secondary road near the Pardeau power station. According to Renato Zanette who is Alice’s father, said that Alice told him on the phone, “At one point, we heard shouting that the brakes were not working, the van was on a downhill road, and it was eventually overturned.”
“At first everything was fine.” Alice said, who was traveling in the fourth row of the minibus, “the driver even stopped to let us see the botanical garden. The first 15 minutes were absolutely perfect. Suddenly, as we drove down this road a bit ‘twisty towards the riverine forest, the driver lost control. Before we ended up in the forest and then we rolled below. We flipped over and over again in this small van for ten people, until it stopped on a paved road.”
MSC Cruises told newspapers, “It is with deep sadness that MSC Cruises confirms that a tragic accident involving seven of its guests happened earlier today at approximately 11 a.m. local time, in Trafalgar on the Caribbean island of Dominica. The seven guests involved in the accident were five Italian and two Brazilian nationals. They were on their way to an on shore visit which they had independently booked through a third party.
Immediately after the accident, the guests were transported to the nearby Princess Margaret Hospital and a support team from the ship has since arrived to the hospital to assist them in every way they can. Simultaneously, MSC Cruises’ crisis team was activated and has already contacted all the families and relatives of the guests involved in the accident. The guests were all aboard MSC Orchestra which was calling at Roseau, Dominica, for the day.
Since then, we are glad to report that two Italian and two Brazilian nationals are safely either already back on board or on their way. Regarding the young boy and his family, his parents are out of harm’s way but still at the hospital. I am unfortunately not at liberty to disclose the condition of the young boy, since the relevant authorities have yet to make a formal assessment. Having said this, I have also been reading that he has passed and we are led to believe that this is sadly the case.”

Experimental school for 'high risk' students helps halt their backward slide
By Victoria Irwin Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
Fifth-grader Carlos, who is just finishing up the school year at Grand Academy in the city's Lower East Side, likes his school because ''you can meet more friends, and there is no fighting.'' He adds that math is his favorite subject, but he also likes reading.
Jose, who also likes math, points out that teachers pay more attention to students here. Grand Academy is ''better than any other school,'' he says.
The boys have spent the last school year in a special program for students who are at least two years behind grade level. Run by the Grand Street Settlement House along with New York City's Board of Education, the two-year-old program has been successful enough to earn funding for an expanded program next year.
Taking ''high risk'' students at the fifth- and eighth-grade level, the staff at Grand Academy hopes to raise school scores (and confidence), break truancy patterns, and prevent future dropouts.
''We remove kids from the local schools, where they have known failure, and bring them here to a positive environment,'' says Lawrence Mandell, executive director of the Grand Street Settlement. The local district sends teachers to the classes held in the settlement house, and the Board of Education contracts with the agency for a range of support services, such as social work, counseling , and after-school programs.
''These kids were chronic truants, some on the verge of dropping out,'' says Mr. Mandell. Now they have an attendence rate of 80 to 85 percent, which is ''excellent in this city.'' Reading scores, an area in which most of these students were losing ground to their peers, have been brought up more than a year in most cases. Carlos, for example, proudly says that his reading scores have gone up to a grade level of 5.9 from 3.8.
Grand Street Settlement spent $125,000 on the program last year, and the Board of Education provided funding of $300,000.
''It is not inexpensive,'' says Yvette Villegas, coordinator of the program for the community school board. But she and Grand Academy staff are quick to point out that ''cheap solutions will mean cheap outcomes.''
In a city with a dropout rate estimated at anywhere from 38 percent to over 60 percent and a high unemployment rate for minority youths, the program is less expensive than welfare or jail, they say.
''We are not miracle people,'' says one teacher at Grand Academy. Much of the improvement among students is phenomenal, he says, but some students still do not make progress. ''The prime thing we can do is help . . . give (the students) the ability to learn. That's what they'll carry away.''

Our militancy is not dictated by who sits on the fifth floor of City Hall
By CTU Communications | April 2, 2019 | News
The Chicago Teachers Union and SEIU Local 73 will continue to fight for an elected, representative school board and progressive revenue for the schools our students deserve.
CHICAGO, April 2, 2019—The Chicago Teachers Union and Service Employees International Union Local 73 issued the following joint statement tonight regarding the election of Lori Lightfoot as mayor of Chicago:
The most obvious win for our movement is that Chicago will be Rahm-less by May 20, for which we have a movement of educators, parents, workers, community organizers and activists to thank. Elections are about contrast, and at least on the surface, tonight’s results represent a contrast to the last eight years.
Tonight, the city of Chicago elected a new mayor out of a desire for bold and progressive ideas, and a commitment to building a more fair, just and equitable city. Mayor-elect Lori Lightfoot has her work cut out for her on day one.
We did not win class size limits for students in kindergarten, first and second grades, TIF distribution to our school communities, or a special education monitor appointed by the state because we asked nicely or behaved politely. We will aggressively bargain, aggressively defend our platform and aggressively organize for social, economic, educational and racial justice in Chicago and Springfield. The Chicago Teachers Union and SEIU Local 73 have fought for fairness alongside our allies for nearly a decade because our city deserves it.
As a movement, we helped defeat the twin privatization forces of Rahm Emanuel and Bruce Rauner. But the millionaires and billionaires who supported them remain, along with astroturf education “deform” groups they fund that continue to support the push-out of Black families, the under-funding and closure of public schools, pension theft, marginalization of democracy and privatization of public services.
There is a significant amount of hope for city government, with checks and balances, that represents the will of this movement. Governance in the Chicago City Council will shift significantly with newly elected movement leaders like Matt Martin, Byron Sigcho-Lopez, Jeanette Taylor and Andre Vasquez, who join progressive champions Sue Garza, Carlos Ramirez Rosa, Maria Hadden and Mike Rodriquez. The progressive agenda is advanced by a powerful community organizing presence that was largely built against the policies of Rahm Emanuel, and is committed to taxing the rich and funding our schools.
The only reason either mayoral candidate embraced this agenda was because of this presence, and these leaders will hold the mayor accountable to her campaign promises. Congratulations to our endorsed winners whose victories represent a repudiation of the Rahm and Rauner agenda, and the vision of independent political organizations like United Working Families.
An openly gay Black woman will lead a city with a tragic history of racial strife and segregation. She will lead the nation’s third-largest school district, whose current leader closed 50 Black and Latinx schools in a single year and fired thousands of experienced Black female educators. Mayor-elect Lightfoot’s leadership must stop the hemorrhage of Black families from our city, prioritize affordable housing and rent control, secure a Community Benefits Agreement for the Obama Center, make the wealthy pay their fair share, and stabilize and fund public services. We expect her appointments to the Chicago Board of Education to be stakeholders—the very people who inhabit communities and neighborhoods that have lost the most under the racist influence of neoliberal school leadership.
And to be clear, we do not reach this moment—this moment—as a city without Chicago Teachers Union President Emerita Karen Lewis.
Mayor-elect Lightfoot’s work begins immediately. Our school communities need $2 billion and the wealthy must pay their fair share of the bill. School communities need justice and equity; an elected, representative school board; fully resourced school communities; Black, Latinx and veteran teachers in classrooms; and full restoration of our collective bargaining rights. Our parks need to be fully funded and staffed so they are safe and clean, no longer subsidized by an over-reliance on part-time workers who are paid poverty wages with little or no benefits, and provide the programs and services our community deserves.
School communities need a nurse and librarian in every building; counselor and social worker staffing levels that meet recommended ratios; special education classroom assistants, teaching assistants and restorative justice coordinators; clean and safe buildings that place our students’ interests above the profits of outside contractors; and 75 sustainable community schools. Our movement will continue to beat this drum, as well as demand adequate special education services and sanctuary for immigrant students.
Rahm and Rauner are gone. Their policies must go as well. We hope Mayor-elect Lightfoot separates herself from the dubious interests that funded her campaign, and governs like the progressive she claims to be by ending the funding of #NoCopAcademy and the Lincoln Yard TIF. We expect her to fight for an immediate $15/hr minimum wage in the city, for real and meaningful criminal justice reform, and for equitable investment in all of Chicago’s communities—especially those that have been habitually overlooked and underfunded.
We will also demand that Mayor-elect Lightfoot use her authority to make sure that Chicago is a city of unions for all, and that everyone has the opportunity to join a union no matter where they work.
If not, she will face immediate pushback. Elections are moments. We are a movement. See you at City Hall on April 9.

Dancers Are More Intelligent Than They Get Credit For
Jennifer Stahl
Raise your hand if you've ever been stereotyped as stupid because you're a dancer. Raise your other hand if that misconception boils your blood.
Well, you're in luck: One researcher is determined to set the record straight.
Moving our bodies involves thinking, communicating and understanding the world around us. Photo by Maria Badasian/Unsplash
Dr. Matthew Henley, a professor at Texas Woman's University, is gathering data to advocate for the value of dance as an intellectual practice—and build a framework for how to describe dance intelligence to non-dancers.
"One of the things we dancers often say is, 'Oh, she's such a smart mover,' " says Henley, himself a former dancer with Seán Curran and Randy James. While a non-dancer might assume that "smart mover" just has great physical ability, dancers can see that she's coordinating her body really efficiently, or processing the movement very clearly, or translating the phrase into her body in creative ways.
"But it's hard to explain to a school principal how what's going on in a dance studio is reflective of intelligence," Henley says. That's why he's working to find a way to articulate the deep cognitive processes that are both practiced and developed in the studio.
Standing on the shoulders of other dance education pioneers like Margaret D'Houbler, his research involves observing dance classes at TWU to identify moments of cognitive processing, and then interviewing teachers and dancers to record their experiences of learning.
Many of the cognitive processes dance requires are hard to explain. Photo by Rachel Papo for Pointe.
His goal? For starters, he hopes his research will affirm that dance students are smart.
"Dancers sometimes feel dumb because we don't have access to language in the way that other people do," Henley says. He theorizes this is because many dancers process things holistically and spatially, rather than linearly and logically (which are typically more valued in our culture).
But he also hopes that his work will help to advocate for more dance in school—which he sees as a social justice issue. "There's a lot of research that indicates that alphabetic, symbolic ways of learning privilege certain types of students," he says. "There are other students from different cultures, classes, genders, backgrounds who need more embodied experiences in class in order to access material. Teaching dance is a diversity and inclusion strategy."
So the next time someone claims that dancers are dumb, know that they're just not smart enough to realize that you're smart.

You’re welcome, but your car isn’t
by Daniel Thu 2 October 2008 Thu 2 October 2008 transport
Neil Mitchell in the Herald Sun last week, has some strange ideas about the City:
Second, there’s transport.
It is difficult to get into the city and difficult to move around it.
As Jeff Kennett said this week, those monster tram stops have clogged traffic and undermined the principle behind the magnificently simple design of Melbourne. It’s in the handbook that councils hate cars, and the MCC follows the book.
Traffic problems and parking restrictions are killing the city.
What’s the plan? What’s the vision?
How do we bring people back?
Errr, no. Wrong. Actually the city is thriving. It’s busy every day of the week until late.
And the number of daily visitors has been growing every year.
(Source: City of Melbourne: City User Estimates and Forecasts)
The problem appears to be that Neil expects to be able to drive his car down Collins Street at 60 kmh and park outside his favourite cafe.
Too bad. When you’ve got this kind of demand, not everyone can come by car. And most don’t. CBD car users are outstripped by public transport users 4-to-1.
(Source: City of Melbourne: Central City User Survey)
The tram superstops haven’t clogged traffic. They’ve made very little difference. In just about every case, on each of the streets they’re on, there was one lane of traffic before, and there’s one lane of traffic now. What’s blocking the cars is… other cars.
Neil and his car are welcome at the suburban shopping centres such as Southland, Chadstone, or Highpoint. Good luck finding a park though.

Love the pie chart, especially that it adds up to 101%. I know as my daughter added it up!!
Ben Finney says:
> The tram superstops haven’t clogged traffic. They’ve made very little difference.
One difference they’ve made is that the non-tram traffic is squeezed into a very narrow lane. This makes it much more perilous for those of us on a bicycle: the laughable “lane” for the bicycle is barely as wide as a man’s shoulders and is shunted onto the gutter, making it useless for actually, you know, riding a bike along.
Thu 2 October 2008 at 10:29 am
Suzie: Whoops! The source data includes this, obviously due to rounding.
Ben: True enough. Though most cyclists I see (eg at the Collins St Superstops) just take the middle of the lane. I know if I were riding there, that’s what I’d do. It wouldn’t have much impact on the motor traffic as it’s slow all the way along Collins St anyway.
I want to know what the “others” in the pie chart refer to:
TARDIS?
Transporter?
Bewitched style finger snapping?
PlatiNumEuro says:
The tram superstops are a good thing because along St Kilda Rd it gets so crowded and is dangerously close to the traffic and trams.
To get around the city we have the City Loop train stations (quickest way to get around in my view), trams, and by foot, if you want to check out the shopping.
I also know people who work in the city who travel by car, actually park their cars in North Melbourne or Richmond and then they take a train into the CBD.
Reuben van Bemmel says:
The intelligence behind Mr. Mitchell’s plans are staggering.
If I were responsible for the inner-city’s transport, I would have three tram routes taken off Swanston/St Kilda road and replaced on William Street (where 1 route currently runs). That would effectively even-out traffic congestion for trams and speed up travel times.
I would expect the ‘car’ figure to increase as the city outgrows its potential (hence, the disgusting urban sprawl) and as public transport deteriorates under incompetence.
Thu 2 October 2008 at 12:30 pm
Nathan: My assumption is it’s bikes, rollerblades, that kind of thing.
The figures are for 2006 (weekdays). I’d expect cars to have reduced further when the latest figures come out, as we know figures for trains, trams and bikes have been growing.
Fri 3 October 2008 at 7:12 am
C’mon, get the units right! km/h, not kmh. You’re as bad as the Fairfax papers! They’re always talking about people crashing at 150 kilometre hours.
Sat 4 October 2008 at 1:45 pm
Err… they HAVE buggered up Flinders Street outside the station at Elizabeth Street. Drops from two lanes very suddenly into one on both sides. I’ve seen so many close calls since the new superstops being put in with motorists/cyclists/pedestrians.
Ren, I know that area quite well. I would personally recommend taking out an entire lane of traffic for the remainder of Elizabeth street so as to deter traffic in the first place. Also, the footpath could do with some widening.
vaughan says:
Sun 5 October 2008 at 10:01 am
And the superstops are kinda over-engineered. They should be smaller and more permeable, and located at the intersections.
Tue 7 October 2008 at 12:18 pm
It would be great to have some trams off Swanston and onto Exhibition and/or William. At the moment the ‘top’ end is kind of underserviced.
Also, the Loop needs fixing – you can’t use it to navigate the city easily – especially at lunchtime (one of the busier times of the day) when the trains stop running to change direction. Run some trains one way all day, and some the other; people can swap trains easily enough at Richmond, Parliament, Flinder or whereever.
It’s still easy enough to get into the city by car, it’s just the parking that kills you. And honestly, if you can’t figure out how to get around in the CBD on the trams and walk a few minutes you may as well give up and sit by yourself at home.
I personally hate the superstops (stupidstops).
Outside Flinders Street Station they have forced the 235/237 bus stop to be relocated 3 blocks away, instead of being out the front of the station, as they “forgot” to include space for the bus stop (even though there is still plenty of space there). As previously mentioned, they make life for cyclists much more dangerous than it should be. And for vision impaired/blind travellers, they make it much harder to actually find where the stop is (it was very easy when they were on every corner, before the intersection. I could go on….
oh, and why couldn’t thay have subway access to the new centre-stupidstop in Flinders Street (especially since they opened a hole during construction ! :-)

Security Information / 2016 / Security Information -- DSA-3433-1 samba
DSA-3433-1 samba -- security update
In Mitre's CVE dictionary: CVE-2015-3223, CVE-2015-5252, CVE-2015-5296, CVE-2015-5299, CVE-2015-5330, CVE-2015-7540, CVE-2015-8467.
Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in Samba, a SMB/CIFS file, print, and login server for Unix. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following issues:
Thilo Uttendorfer of Linux Information Systems AG discovered that a malicious request can cause the Samba LDAP server to hang, spinning using CPU. A remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw to mount a denial of service.
Jan Yenya Kasprzak and the Computer Systems Unit team at Faculty of Informatics, Masaryk University discovered that insufficient symlink verification could allow data access outside an exported share path.
Stefan Metzmacher of SerNet discovered that Samba does not ensure that signing is negotiated when creating an encrypted client connection to a server. This allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to downgrade the connection and connect using the supplied credentials as an unsigned, unencrypted connection.
It was discovered that a missing access control check in the VFS shadow_copy2 module could allow unauthorized users to access snapshots.
Douglas Bagnall of Catalyst discovered that the Samba LDAP server is vulnerable to a remote memory read attack. A remote attacker can obtain sensitive information from daemon heap memory by sending crafted packets and then either read an error message, or a database value.
It was discovered that a malicious client can send packets that cause the LDAP server provided by the AD DC in the samba daemon process to consume unlimited memory and be terminated.
Andrew Bartlett of the Samba Team and Catalyst discovered that a Samba server deployed as an AD DC can expose Windows DCs in the same domain to a denial of service via the creation of multiple machine accounts. This issue is related to the MS15-096 / CVE-2015-2535 security issue in Windows.
For the oldstable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 2:3.6.6-6+deb7u6. The oldstable distribution (wheezy) is only affected by CVE-2015-5252, CVE-2015-5296 and CVE-2015-5299.
For the stable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed in version 2:4.1.17+dfsg-2+deb8u1. The fixes for CVE-2015-3223 and CVE-2015-5330 required an update to ldb 2:1.1.17-2+deb8u1 to correct the defects.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 2:4.1.22+dfsg-1. The fixes for CVE-2015-3223 and CVE-2015-5330 required an update to ldb 2:1.1.24-1 to correct the defects.
We recommend that you upgrade your samba packages.

Saguaro National Park Moves Wilderness Camping Permits to Recreation.gov and Announces Fee increase
Tucson, AZ – Visitors to Saguaro National Park will notice some changes in January.
First, Saguaro National Park is changing the way the park manages overnight camping permits in the Rincon Mountain Wilderness. Starting today, campers will go to Recreation.gov to reserve their camping permits for trips starting on February 1 or later. The visitor center will not issue permits in person after January 31. Permit reservations are taken 2 months in advance of the permitted start of a trip.
“We are responding to a visitor request to make obtaining camping permits easier, especially for through hikers on the Arizona Trail,” according to Chief Ranger, Ray O’Neil. “Visitors will be able to make camping arrangements online from their homes prior to their trip or on their mobile devices without having to come into the Rincon Mountain Visitor Center to pick up the permit.”
The park has managed wilderness camping permits in person or via fax and snail mail. Park staff believes this will create a more responsive and faster service for campers without an increase in cost per permit. Permits will continue to cost $8 per campsite per night.
Saguaro National Park has six campgrounds in the Rincon Mountains, all of which are accessible only by hiking or on horseback. For more information and the link to the recreation.gov website, please visit: https://www.nps.gov/sagu/planyourvisit/camping.htm
In addition, the National Park Service formally announced that Saguaro National Park will modify its entrance fees to provide additional funding for infrastructure and maintenance needs to enhance the visitor experience. Effective January 1, 2020 entrance fees to the park will be $25 per vehicle, $20 per motorcycle, $15 for individual pedestrian or bicycle, and an annual park pass will cost $45. This change is the final incremental increase designed to align the park with the national fee schedule designed in response to visitor comments on a proposal in October 2017, where each fee collecting park would implement a modest increase rather than the higher peak-season fees initially proposed for only 17 highly-visited parks.
Saguaro National Park is one of 117 National Park Service sites that charge an entrance fee, the other 300 smaller national park units will remain free to enter.
The price of the annual America the Beautiful National Parks and Federal Recreational Lands Annual Pass and the Lifetime Senior Pass will remain at $80. The Annual Senior Pass will remain at $20 and the Active Military and Access Passes will continue to be free.
The revenue from entrance fees at Saguaro National Park enables the park to address ongoing park-wide trail maintenance and ensure quality experience for park visitors.

We included a content management system (CMS) so staff can control products and prices, categories, photo galleries, banners, landing pages, performance reports and more. We integrated Salesforce so that staff can easily manage quotes and follow up requests.
We also added intelligent landing page control and advertisement tracking so that advertising campaigns can be monitored and altered effortlessly. The new site is also integrated with conversion tracking so that its performance is continually recorded and easy to assess whenever necessary.
With these new features and a modern re-design, we are confident that the SunSpaces team and future SunSpaces customers will take pleasure in using the site. We have been able to create a new website for SunSpaces without compromising any of the features that made the old site such a success!

How to Create Evergreen Content
Martyn online marketing, search engine optimisation (seo)
In the world of SEO and content marketing, there’s no disputing that content is indeed king. However, not all kings are created equally.
Like any monarch, a good king wants to reign for as long as possible and, in the world of SEO, the true king of longevity is undoubtedly evergreen content.
What is evergreen content?
Okay, before we go any further, let’s put a label on evergreen content so we know exactly what we’re dealing with here.
Taking its name from the evergreen tree that maintains its leaves all year-round, evergreen content is content that stays relevant long after its initial publication date.
For example, a blog titled “Fashion Tips for 2019” will automatically become dated the moment 2020 hits, not to mention the content within it will be very much seasonal and specific to that time period.
Conversely, a blog based on the subject of “How to Get Bigger Biceps” may still be relevant in ten months, if not ten years times, provided the text within it doesn’t refer to anything topical at the time of publication.
Benefits of evergreen content
Most content, particularly newsworthy posts and topical reporting, stays relevant for a relatively short period of time.
Take a review of a football match, for example. While the article may receive a lot of attention upon publication, the hits will significantly drop off in next to no time, as the story quite literally becomes “yesterday’s news”.
Meanwhile, evergreen content will remain consistently applicable, regardless of when you view it. As such, the KPIs of evergreen content are a steady flow of traffic over time, self-generating repeated backlinks and healthy amounts of sharing over social media.
When it comes to content marketing ROI, evergreen content also provides excellent economical value. While it may take a little longer to produce and require more time and attention to detail, the end result will last and provide a far greater return over time.
Creating evergreen content
If you’re looking to create long-lasting content for your site, there are a number of tips for evergreen content that are well worth keeping in mind.
Here are a few different ways to approach your content in pursuit of evergreen pastures.
Content that’s designed to educate and inform is a great starting point when it comes to creating evergreen content. “How To” guides and FAQs are prime examples of this, providing a solid base for useful information that can be relevant long after it’s published.
For example, if you own a website that sells musical instruments, a post detailing how to change guitar strings is pertinent and won’t become dated any time soon.
Meanwhile, a history site that posts factual blogs dedicated to historical events is unlikely to feature information that changes over time, barring any new evidence or scientific breakthroughs.
Be practical
Similarly, practical content that can be used by the reader can also stand the test of time. This is particularly applicable to content that promotes personal growth and self-betterment.
Useful information that can be applied in the real world in a manner that’s not tethered to a specific time period can live a long and prosperous life, even in the fast-paced environment of today’s modern world.
For a prime example of this, look no further than How to Win Friends and Influence People. Dale Carnegie’s self-help classic was first published pre-WW2 in 1936 and still sells in bundles to this day.
Research, results and statistical information are also key players when it comes to evergreen content. Authoritative content backed by supporting evidence is also a magnet for backlinks, which can be invaluable for SEO.
While date stamping and time referencing is generally to be avoided when constructing evergreen content, research and statistical info are somewhat of an anomaly, as information such as this can often be referred back to after the fact and still be deemed useful.
For example, a post studying crime rates in the UK can be utilised years after the fact as a point of reference for comparative purposes, providing a useful means of measuring positive or negative change and trends.
The topic itself can also have a heavy influence on the longevity of an article, with fast-moving industries that are constantly evolving typically breeding posts with a shorter shelf life.
Subjects such as fashion, sport and politics where a revolving door of news is commonplace often feature content that becomes old extremely quickly. Meanwhile, steady topics that remain relatively constant over time – such as health, careers, parenting, etc – can prosper long into the future.
After all, career advice from the 1980s can still be relevant today. Fashion advice, not so much.
If your site produces content at a rapid pace over the course of the day, week or month, it won’t take long for your evergreen content to become buried beneath other content that may not be as enduring.
To keep your evergreen content strong in the public consciousness, it may be worth adding an additional tab or drop down in your site navigation, such as “Top Blogs” or “Guides”.
This can help highlight these pages and make them stand out from the crowd of daily blogs and content.
It also allows you to expose your visitors to your evergreen content in a far simpler manner, without requiring them to dig through pages of historical content to find them.

Common SEO Mistakes and How to Avoid Them
Martyn search engine optimisation (seo)
Remember that scene in Rambo IV where the Burmese soldiers throw landmines into a murky pond before forcing the villagers to walk blindly into those same muddy waters?
No? What do you mean you’ve never seen Rambo IV?! It’s a classic!!!
Well, for many content providers, that scene pretty much sums up the world of SEO in a nutshell. The landmines are SEO mistakes, the villagers are the content providers and Google is the Burmese Army, eagerly waiting for you to put a foot wrong.
Luckily, your pals here at Designer Websites are playing the part of John Rambo, equipped with our trusty bow and arrow of SEO tips to help you make it through those waters unscathed.
The fact is, SEO can be a real minefield: one wrong step, misguided keyword or neglected precaution could see your content go up in smoke.
Don’t wait for Google to draw first blood; take the SEO war straight to their door with this standard-issue survival guide to SEO.
Common SEO Mistakes
When it comes to SEO, the forever-changing, ever-evolving Google algorithm makes staying above water in the SERP a never-ending task.
Even those with an ironclad strategy and bulletproof knowledge can find themselves caught out from time to time, especially when it comes time for an algorithm change straight out of left field.
To help you stay ahead of the curve, here’s a handful of the most common SEO mistakes and how to avoid them.
Poor Planning
Jon Bon Jovi once sang, “I don’t know where I’m going, only God knows where I’ve been”. If JBJ applied that same mindset to SEO, he’d make for a pretty poor digital marketer.
In the world of SEO, strategizing is a key part of the process; failure to plan and neglecting to track your performance along the way can lead to a myriad of issues down the line.
How to avoid
Create an organised SEO strategy and track its KPIs. As the old saying goes, “proper planning and preparation prevents p**s poor performance”. Meanwhile, the beauty of tracing KPIs is that it allows you to refocus if certain aspects of your strategy aren’t up to scratch. If one area of your approach shows signs of weakness, don’t be afraid to amend accordingly, take action or change course.
Creating Duplicate Content
Duplicating content can be extremely detrimental to SEO. Worse still, duplicating content can also be extremely detrimental to SEO.
Jokes aside, mirror-image text can lead to search engine confusion, preventing or delaying indexing. This kind of digital déjà vu is a common offence for e-commerce sites, often due to the sheer volume of their product catalogues; however, that’s not to say other content providers are immune.
Keep content unique across the board. While it can be tempting to copy and paste content from A to B when a common theme allows, the most effective way to avoid duplication is to simply be original. Whether it’s product copy or a meta description, fresh wording can make all the difference. Conversely, it’s important to stay consistent when it comes to things like URLs – e.g. avoid interchangeable use of caps – as this can also confuse the search engine.
Targeting the Wrong Keywords
Another common mistake is that many content providers try to run before they can walk when it comes to keywords. If your site sells football boots, chances are your listing is not going to compete with SportsDirect anytime soon.
Targeting keywords with a huge search volume is not something to hang your hat on, particularly for newer, younger websites. It’s the equivalent of walking into a gym for the first time and trying the lift the heaviest dumbbell – start light and work your way up.
Don’t try to cover every keyword in your chosen topic; instead, try focusing on less competitive keywords. This will allow you to gain traction from a less crowded marketplace, building your site reputation which will then allow you to effectively target high-volume keywords down the line.
Ignoring Old Content
In the fast-paced world of digital marketing, it’s easy to get caught up in the rat race and settle into the “new content” production line. However, overlooking existing content on your site can be an easily avoidable error.
Historical content that is past its sell-by date is like hoarding an old collection of insignificant newspapers: no-one’s going to read them, they’re cluttering up space and, for all intents and purposes, they’re virtually useless in their current state. But they don’t have to be…
Much like a newspaper, you can recycle your content to breathe new life into an old post. If your historical content still holds relevance, simply upgrade with new stats, figures and information, updating its design and potentially adding new imagery/video. Better still, a simple factual facelift necessitates less work which presents a higher ROI.
Neglecting Internal Links
If you’re publishing copy on your website or blog and not linking internally to other relevant pages on your site, you’re seriously missing a trick. Any time you publish new content, it’s wise to keep in mind ways you can link this to other content within your overall site (or group of sites).
If your target audience is viewing your content, you’ve already done the hard work. The reader is clearly interested in your content by their very presence, so redirecting them to other relevant pages can be effortless. Think of it as a street promoter enticing you into a club with the promise of free entry. Once you’re in the venue, it’s far easier for the bar staff to shill the BOGOF cocktails.
Write your content with your existing content in mind. If your subject matter is close to that of another, find ways to weave your secondary page into the copy and link appropriately. It’s also a good idea to link to your most authoritative pages; this is a great way to build link equity in your new page while further bolstering the existing page you’re linking to.
Only serving Google
It’s easy to lose sight that Google isn’t the only search engine online. There’s no denying that it’s certainly the biggest, but it’s definitely not the only game in town.
Bing and Yahoo are common alternatives; however, if you think outside the box, it could play into your favour massively.
Did you know that YouTube is the internet’s second biggest search engine? Video content is on the rise and only likely to grow in the coming years, according to industry forecast reports from Cisco.
Building your brand on YouTube can be a great way to kill two birds with one stone: getting ahead of the competition in a growing medium, while also capitalising on a commonly overlooked search engine.

EU bodies agree 30% European quota on Netflix-type services
Written by Stuart Thomson
27th April 2018 @ 12:44
The European Parliament, European Council and the European Commission have struck a preliminary deal on revisions to the audiovisual media services directive that will see new quotas imposed on subscription video-on-demand services.
The new rules will include an obligation on OTT TV services, promoted by the Parliament, to respect a quota of 30% for European works on their platforms. The level of the quota follows the European Council recommendation of a 30% quota in May last year and goes well beyond the 20% level proposed by the EC two years ago, when it first presented planned updates to the directive as part of its digital single market strategy.
VOD and SVOD platforms will also be asked to contribute to the development of European audiovisual production, either through a direct investment in content or a contribution to national funds. The level of contribution in each country should be proportional to their on-demand revenues in that country – meaning member states where they are established or states where they target the audience.
The Parliament also secured measures to protect the integrity of broadcast signals, with an obligation on service providers not to add a window with content to the screen during the transmission of a programme on smart TVs.
The new rules include strict regulations on advertising or product placement in children’s TV programmes or content available on video-on-demand platforms.
The law will also see a loosening up of rules on advertising, with a maximum 20% quota of advertising of the daily broadcasting period between 06.00 and 18.00, giving the broadcaster the flexibility of adjusting their advertising periods outside primetime, instead of respecting the current limit of 12 minutes per hour.
Parliamentary negotiator Petra Kammerevert said that the outcome was “well balanced, especially with regard to the scope of the directive, including video-sharing platforms and audiovisual content on social media, a more level playing field for all communication stakeholders, and protection of European works”, while negotiator Sabine Verheyen said that the Parliament had “negotiated a level of protection for internet media services similar to that in place for traditional broadcast media”.
Other elements of the revised directive include a strengthening of the ‘country of origin’ principle, with what the EC said would involve greater clarity on which state’s rules apply both for broadcast and VOD services.
The legislation will also be extended to video-sharing platforms, including Facebook and YouTube. The directive will also see new measures to ensure the independence of national audiovisual regulators, which must be independent of government and other public or private bodies.
Negotiations will officially end in June when the Parliament, Council and Commission will meet to finalise and discuss remaining details. After confirmation by the Council and the European Parliament’s plenary vote, the new rules will then have to be transposed into national law.
Vice-president for the digital single market Andrus Ansip said: “These new rules reflect digital progress and recognise that people now watch videos in different ways than before. They encourage innovative services and promote European films – but also protect children and tackle hate speech in a better way.”
French media regulator the CSA was quick to welcome the proposed rules, and in particular the extension of regulation to video-sharing platforms and the obligation on SVOD providers to provide European content.

Kea to Ios Ferry
The Kea Ios ferry route connects Cyclades Islands with Cyclades Islands. Currently there is just the 1 ferry company operating this ferry service, Hellenic Seaways. The crossing operates up to 1 times each week with sailing durations from around 9 hours 15 minutes.
Kea Ios sailing durations and frequency may vary from season to season so we’d advise doing a live check to get the most up to date information.
Kea Guide
The Greek island of Kea is located in the Aegean Sea and is one of the Cycladese group of islands. Kea is roughly 20 km from Cape Sounio and 60 km to the south east of Athens, the Greek capital. The island is not particularly large, measuring 9 km wide and 19 km long, and its main villages are Korissa and Vourkari. One of the most popular visitor attractions on the island is the pretty port of Korissia, which is surrounded by white washed houses with colourful roofs, the enamel factory, winding cobbled alleys and picturesque churches. Visitors will often see caiques and fishing boats in the harbour.
The island's crystal clear waters make it a popular destination for scuba divers. The island's waters have excellent visibility, is rich in marine life and is great for wall diving. Some of the most popular dive sites around the island are the wreck of the steamship Patris which sank in 1868 and also the famous wreck of HMS Britannic, the sister ship of the Titanic, which is located around 1.5 nautical miles offshore. The latter is popular with Tec divers as the wreck is at a depth of around 120 meters.
Ios Guide
The Greek island of Ios is part of the Cyclades group of islands and lies in the Aegean Sea between the islands of Santorini and Naxos. The island has a popular night economy, lovely beaches and a number of historical monuments which are popular with visitors. The island has been popular with tourists from around the world for many years and is definitely one of the most popular of the Cyclades islands. Chora is a typical Greek village on the island with traditional whitewashed buildings, winding streets and many colourful flowers. However, at night the sleepy village comes alive with many places to socialise.
Around the island there are many beaches with soft white sand just waiting to be explored, all of which are blessed with crystal clear waters. Perhaps the island's most popular beach is Mylopotas which is lined with bars, restaurants and places to hire water sport related equipment, and is over 1 km long. However, if you require a more secluded beach experience then Valmas or Kolitsani beaches are a good choice.

Green Archers United edges out Global Makati in PFL midweek fixture
Home football Global Green Archers United PFL Green Archers United edges out Global Makati in PFL midweek fixture
By Xy-Zha Cabanlong
MANILA - It took 72 minutes to break the tie between Global Makati and Green Archers United in the second of the two matches at the Rizal Memorial Stadium on Wednesday night, and the latter walked the 1-0 victor.
Christian Zubiri, who came in as a substitute, proved that he was worth the pick for the Green Archers as he struck the goal past the Global FC goalkeeper.
"When they gave me the chance to play, I have nothing in my mind but to work my hardest. I guess [getting to score the winning goal] is the result of my hard work," said Zubiri.
Global and Green Archers were inseparable in the first half, with only Jerry Barbaso's attempt near the penalty box being the only shot on target but was way off the back of the net.
No other attempts from both team to score a goal in the said half as the ball were mostly controlled in the middle.
In the second half, Green Archers were more determined to push themselves further and expose the weakness of Global, team's cohesiveness, something that Coach Frank Muescan admitted in the post game interview.
"We need to have more chemistry as a team. We fell short because of the fitness," said Muescan
He also said that the team has yet to be completed, with three more foreign players waiting for the green light to suit up for Global.
These players have yet to complete their requirements but may be ready to play in the team's next game.
Green Archers' win against Global did give an additional motivation for their players to work harder for their rally in the third season of the PFL.
"[The win] is going to make me want more goals [to score] so I am going to work for it," added Zubiri who was named as the man of the match.

Using the PCT System
Although there is no such thing as worldwide patent protection, it is possible to file an International Patent Application under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT).
The International Patent Application is filed centrally at the World Intellectual Property Office (WIPO). An international search is carried out and, optionally, an international examination in the International Phase of the application process.
The international search, and optionally examination, is carried out by an approved national or regional patent office, such as the European Patent Office, US Patent Office or Japanese Patent Office.
The National or Regional Phase of the application process begins, typically, 30 or 31 months after the priority date of the application. This is when the international application splits into national or regional applications in the countries in which patent protection is desired. Further examination and grant of the patent applications then continues in each country/region separately.
Click here for a flow chart setting out the procedure in the International Phase.
Entry into the UK national phase
Entry into the UK national phase can take place up to 31 months after the priority date of the application. Entry into the UK is completed by paying the national fee and filing an English translation of the PCT application where it was neither filed nor published in English.
A request for a search must be filed within two months of the entry into the National Phase; however it is advisable to file the search request on entry.
A request for substantive examination must be filed 33 months after the priority date, or if later, two months from National Phase entry.
The application procedure then continues as outlined under Applying for a UK Patent.
Entry into the European Regional Phase
Entry into the European Regional Phase can take place up to 31 months after the priority date of the application.
Entry into Europe is completed by
Filing Form 1200, which includes a request for examination, and a search request if the International search authority for the PCT application was not the EPO
Paying the Filing Fee, Designation Fee, Examination Fee, and Search Fee if applicable
Filing a translation of the international application in English, French or German if the PCT application was not already in one of these languages
Paying the third year renewal fee (due on the second anniversary of the filing date), if required
Once the application has entered the European Regional Phase, the applicant is provided with an opportunity to amend the claims, within a period of six months. If the International search was carried out by the EPO then it is also necessary, within this six month period, to address any objections raised in the Written Opinion accompanying the International Search Report. If the International search was not carried out by the EPO then any claim amendments made at this time are voluntary. It is generally recommended to use this six month period to reduce the number of claims to 15 or fewer, so as to avoid payment of excess claims fees.
If the EPO carried out the International search then the next communication to issue will be an examination report. If the EPO did not carry out the International search then the next communication to issue will be the Supplementary European Search Report, followed by a communication asking whether the applicant wishes to continue further with the application.
The application procedure then continues substantially as outlined under Applying for a European Patent.

Dying is expensive: so do you need Dutch funeral insurance?

DutchNews.nl destinations: explore Leiden’s canals without the tourist hustle
Once considered a broken down, blue-collar burg, Leiden has shed this reputation in recent years to become a sort of ‘mini Amsterdam’. Brandon Hartley shares a glimpse at one of the most often overlooked cities in the Randstad.

It’s Valentine’s Day. Here’s 11 reasons why you need a Dutch boyfriend
It’s Valentine’s Day, something a few years ago no self-respecting Dutch man or woman would think worthy of mention.

The Daily Telegraph: We’re now fighting a new battle for Britain
It is time to relaunch the Brexit campaign to stop politicians from betraying millions of Leave voters
When we set up Leave Means Leave after the referendum, we thought it might be needed for six months. We hoped that we could trust the Government to do the job they had been instructed to do by the British people. People knew what they were voting for. They dismissed the ridiculous scaremongering of Project Fear and voted in the largest numbers ever to leave the EU.
None of us imagined that, two years on, we would have to refight the battle. We never dreamt that we would have to attack some desperate “Chequers” proposal from the Prime Minister, which led to the resignation of two of the most influential Brexit-supporting Cabinet ministers. None of us feared being let down by other Cabinet Brexiteers, who we thought we could trust. Today, they are trying to sell thin gruel to Brexit voters as if it were some sort of delicacy. It is a con, and must be exposed as such.
At Westminster, there is already talk about extending Article 50 – a reflection of the incompetence of the negotiating strategy to date and the cynical machinations of a powerful cabal determined to deny the will of the people.
We cannot stand by and let them get away with it. Most Brexit supporters are under no illusions about what is going on. They are looking for action before it is too late. They don’t want a historic opportunity to take this country in a new direction, free of the shackles of Brussels, to be casually squandered by politicians who never believed in the vision in the first place.
So Leave Means Leave is preparing to relaunch the Brexit campaign.
While politicians are on their sunloungers, we have spent August fundraising – and the response has been astonishing. Donors large and small have already committed funds and we are optimistic of more to come. Public anger is palpable.
Among those most keen to support a new campaign are traditional Tory donors disillusioned by the handling of Brexit. A number are so angry about what is going on that they have told us they will stop donating to the Conservative Party unless there is a major change in approach. Should the party leadership stick doggedly to the flawed Chequers proposal, it should be prepared to haemorrhage funds.
The mood among voters differs sharply from the mood in the Westminster bubble, where too many MPs seem to think they know better than those who elected them.
Project Fear Round 2, carefully coordinated by the vested interests of the establishment, ably led by the Governor of the Bank of England, the CBI and the chief executives of multinational firms, has been in full swing for months.
Voters see it for what it is. Already they feel betrayed by the political class. They continue to believe this country has a brighter future outside the failing EU project.
Many British entrepreneurs agree. If we get this right, there are great opportunities ahead. This really is the difference: entrepreneurs who believe in Britain versus salaried managers at multinationals who are in it for the short term and are preoccupied by the size of their bonuses.
Since the Chequers announcement, we have been inundated with inquiries from people who want to get involved and support our work. Later this month, we will reveal more details of our plans and objectives. This is going to be big, and we are hiring more people as we speak.
Crucially, this will be a nationwide effort, not an intellectual exercise from air-conditioned offices in London. We want to take our campaign to the people. So many ordinary voters feel let down by their MPs.
The next six months will determine the future direction of our country. It is nothing less than a Battle for Britain.
Do we want to remain handcuffed to an outdated, protectionist bullying bureaucracy as a vassal state? Or do we want to be a bold, ambitious trading nation, retaking our rightful place on the global stage as a strong independent country, enjoying the significant economic benefits that flow from a proper Brexit?
Richard Tice and John Longworth are entrepreneurs and co-chairmen of Leave Means Leave

Austin Paper Attacked By DeLay Has Generally Kept Its Distance
Joe Strupp September 29, 2005
By: Joe Strupp
Reporters at The Austin American-Statesman, which Rep. Tom DeLay attacked for pressuring prosecutors to indict him on Wednesday, have had little if any regular contact with the embattled congressman, according to the paper’s managing editor.
When asked about the paper’s relationship with Ronnie Earle, the longtime local district attorney at the center of the case, Managing Editor Fred Zipp noted that the paper had regularly endorsed him — he’s a Democrat — but said such support is strictly from the editorial page, as with most papers.
Zipp declined to comment on whether he believed the indictment was valid or how he would characterize Earle’s style or approach to his job. American-Statesman Editor Rich Oppel could not be reached for comment.
Referring to DeLay, Zipp said, “Our reporters have had limited dealings with him,” noting that DeLay’s congressional district is closer to Houston than the state capital. Zipp said the paper’s Washington, D.C. reporters have attended DeLay press events there.
While the paper has closely followed the political contribution scandal surrounding the locally-based Texans for a Republican Majority [TRMPAC], which eventually led to DeLay’s indictment, Zipp contends the American-Statesman has had few direct connections to DeLay that could spark any reason for him to challenge the paper’s reporting.
“Our lead reporter on that [TRMPAC] case has done nothing for three years but report on all of the various goings on with that story,” Zipp said about reporter Laylan Copelin. “But I don’t think that he has spoken once with DeLay. I don’t think they have anything that could be called a relationship.”
Even when DeLay was spending extra time in Texas years ago during the state’s heated redistricting battle, the reporters maintained their distance. “Laylan may have run into him, but I don’t think he has ever had a conversation about the subject of the charges arising from the TRMPAC operation,” Zipp said.
Zipp’s comments followed DeLay’s criticism of a Sept. 11 editorial urging Travis County District Attorney Earle to charge individuals in the scandal, not just organizations. DeLay referred to the Austin American-Statesman as “Mr. Earle’s hometown newspaper.”
“There are a number of people in the newsroom who have long-term relationships with Ronnie and his office and they are consistent with the kind of relationship reporter have with sources,” Zipp said. “We have the same sort of good relationship that any good paper has with its District Attorney. We report on what it does, we periodically assess its performance, and periodically have disagreements.”
Asked to cite specific disagreements with Earle’s office, Zipp said a few public information disputes had arisen in recent years over documents or reports sought by the paper, but were handled without major problems: “We would go and talk about it with them.”

Code a Character
by Ann Gadzikowski | March 22, 2019
In this lesson, students will learn to create an animated character using the education coding app ScratchJr.
ScienceComputer ScienceCoding
iPad or tablet loaded with ScratchJr
Ideally students will work in pairs (one device for two students)
ScratchJr is a free educational app. Students can use ScratchJr to learn how to create animated characters and stories using "drag and drop" block code.
Online resources for teachers can be found at here (interface guide) and here (activities).
*You can find many YouTube videos created by children, demonstrating their ScratchJr projects. Here are a few examples:
Student Scratch Jr. Project - Dance Party
PBS Kids Scratch Jr Student Created Game
Story in Scratch Jr
character: in a story, a person or animal who has particular features or qualities
animation: the process of taking something that does not move, like a drawing or a model, and making it appear to move on film or in a video
default: a pre-set or pre-determined feature
tool: a thing that is used to accomplish a task or do work
Using ScratchJr, students will create an animated character.
Ask students, "Have you ever wanted to create your own cartoon character?" and "What kind of character might you create?"
Explain that they are going to learn to create their own animated character using the ScratchJr app.
Divide students into pairs and pass out devices.
Show students how to turn on the devices and open the ScratchJr app.
Explain that the ScratchJr app comes with many characters that have already been created for you. For example, the ScratchJr cat is always the first character you see when you open the app. The cat is the default character for this app. When you click on the plus sign, you can also see a whole menu of different characters, such as farm animals, human figures and silly creatures.
Explain that ScratchJr also has a tool that allows you, the computer programmer, to create your own character. You can access that option by clicking on the paintbrush icon at the top right of the screen.
Invite students to open the paint editor by clicking on the paintbrush
For reference, a guide to the paint editor tool can be found here
Invite the pairs of students to take turns using the device until both students have had a turn.
Invite students to experiment with the different tools on the screen, such as the shape tool, the line width tool, the color tool, and the fill tool.
Once students have had a chance to experiment, ask students to focus on one tool, such as the line tool or shape tool, and use that tool to begin creating a character.
Students who have experience with coding in ScratchJr can be encouraged to create a more detailed character or multiple characters. They can also be invited to program their character to speak or make sounds.
For students who may be overwhelmed by the many tools and choices in ScratchJr, have them focus on using the fill tool to simply change the colors on an existing character.
Circulate around the room and observe each pair of students working together.
If your students have not had much experience using ScratchJr, they may need more than one session in order to create a new original character. Measure student success by whether or not each student is able to use at least one of the tools in an intentional way (beyond trial and error).
Ask students to reflect on their coding experience.
Discuss by asking questions like: "What tools did you use?" "How did you figure out what works and what doesn't work?"
Invite peer-to-peer feedback by asking, “How did your partner help you learn?”
Ann Gadzikowski is an author and educator with a passion for challenging children to think creatively and critically.

Lehigh Valley IronPigs Baseball
Address: 1050 IronPigs Way, Allentown, PA 18109
Web: www.ironpigsbaseball.com
Since debuting in 2008, the Lehigh Valley IronPigs have led Minor League Baseball in per game attendance at Coca-Cola Park with 10,100 capacity and has become the Lehigh Valley’s place for affordable family entertainment.
The IronPigs have quickly built a fun-for-all reputation with their quirky in-game contests and giveaways with every pork pun imaginable, ranging from racing pork product characters, a kid’s piglet race, ketchup and mustard T-shirt launchers, the crazy antics of fan-favorite mascots FeRROUS and FeFe (Fe is the atomic symbol for Iron), and a dancing grounds crew, just to name a few.
Its proximity to Philadelphia is not the only thing that the IronPigs have in common with their parent club, the Philadelphia Phillies. Since the 2008 inaugural season, dozens of IronPigs players have been called up to the Phillies, or have appeared at Coca-Cola Park for an assigned rehab appearance.
The food. Did you know that there are 334 food items available at Coca-Cola Park? That's right, 334! And many of them are bacon related. Right again, bacon.
The jerseys. Red, white, black, and bacon!

The Mousetrap review
Samuel Payne March 12, 2013
The Mousetrap arrives at The Leeds Grand in celebration of its Diamond Anniversary. Holding the record as the longest-running British play of modern times, Agatha Christie’s murder mystery is considered by many as the author’s definitive theatrical outing.
Events takes place in the hall of Monkswell Manor, a newly established hotel run by newly wedded Mollie and Giles Ralston. Shortly after a wireless newsflash announcing a murderer on the loose, individual guests gradually arrive at Monkswell, each with their own alibi and hidden secret. As heavy snow closes in around the Manor, cutting off the residents from the outside world, Detective Sergeant Trotter arrives just in time to witness a murder. It is the precursor to a massacre unless they can quickly identify the culprit.
After sixty years, Christie’s writing is evidently dated yet nonetheless charming for its stiff, imperialistic stance. Sometimes unintentionally amusing due to its archaic language and gender stereotyping, there is however much wit, farce and irony to be enjoyed. The author’s tested formula of character exposition does wear, however, impairing any naturalistic progression the play could take in favour of characters verbally informing one another of their back-stories. Old-fashioned, clunky techniques such as this may jar with more sophisticated audiences expecting to see characters behave less theatrically. An audience should forgive this element as a consequence of the writing style of the period. Brimming full of clichés before they were clichés and side stepping some political correctness, it is best to view the script within the time it was written and accept that the content is wholly directed towards a mainstream, 1950s middle-class audience and little more.
After a plodding start the pace picks up with the arrival of a group of residents who add the intrigue and suspense expected in a Christie thriller. Whilst characterisations are generally thin – with two excessively drawn homosexual stereotypes – the parts are nevertheless very well realised by a cast who capitalize on the show’s strengths; humour is well pitched with Received Pronunciation and the claustrophobic setting is blocked and directed with vibrancy and physicality, providing energy to otherwise stolid scenes of verbal intercourse.

2018: Looking Back, Moving Forward in SSL
By Bruce Morton
2017 saw the end of SHA-1 in public trust SSL/TLS certificates and the start of Certification Authority Authorization (CAA) allowing domain owners to authorize their CA. A “Not secure” browser indication was propagated to push more websites to support HTTPS. There was also a change in the certification authority (CA) ownership with DigiCert acquiring Symantec’s SSL and related PKI business and Francisco Partners buying Comodo’s CA.
Google and CWI announced SHAttered, an attack on the SHA-1 cryptographic hash function. The attack was demonstrated by allowing the cryptographic signature on a good PDF to be the same as on a bad PDF. In other words, they forged the signature. Fortunately, this attack should not impact SSL/TLS as CAs have not issued SHA-1 certificates since 2015 and browsers stopped supporting SHA-1 in 2017.
Return of Coppersmith’s Attack (ROCA) is a vulnerability in the generation of RSA keys used by a software library adopted in cryptographic smartcards, security tokens and other secure hardware chips. ROCA was found in a cryptographic library used in a wide range of cryptographic chips produced by Infineon Technologies AG. The vulnerability was disclosed to Infineon in the first week of February with an agreement to an 8 month period before public disclosure. Major vendors including Microsoft, Google, HP, Lenovo and Fujitsu released the software updates and guidelines for mitigation. A scan of certificate transparency logs showed that few SSL/TLS certificates were impacted.
The Return Of Bleichenbacher's Oracle Threat (ROBOT) attack was announced at the end of 2017. ROBOT is a 19-year-old vulnerability that allows performing RSA decryption and signing operations with the private key of an SSL/TLS server. ROBOT only affects SSL/TLS cipher modes that use RSA encryption. Most modern SSL/TLS connections use an Elliptic Curve Diffie Hellman key exchange and need RSA only for signatures. It is recommended that RSA encryption modes be disabled.
SHA-1 Deprecation
Starting in January of 2017, browsers and operating systems stopped supporting SSL/TLS certificates signed using the SHA-1 hashing algorithm. This impacted many websites that were not moved to SHA-2 preemptively.
In January 2017, Chrome 56 started to indicate “Not secure” for websites that present password and credit card fields that are not protected by HTTPS. In October 2017, through Chrome 62, the “Not secure” warning was extended to include any non-HTTPS page that accepts data from website visitors. In addition, these pages will also show “Not secure” when visited by users in Chrome Incognito mode to protect these users who are considered to use this mode as a security baseline. Website operators should consider these to be early warnings that Google Chrome will plan to use “Not secure” for all HTTP pages in the future.
Firefox also supports “Not secure.” For HTTP sites which support text input or not, there is a “!” displayed with a drop down stating “Connection is Not Secure.” For HTTP sites which allow passwords, logins or credit cards, the warning is escalated to show a lock with a strike-through and the similar “Connection is Not Secure” drop down.
Certification Authority Authorization (CAA)
As of September 2017, all CAs must check CAA records before issuing a certificate. With CAA, a domain owner can:
Authorize one or many CAs to issue certificates
Not allow any CA to issue a certificate
Allow or disallow a wildcard certificate to be issued
Provide contact information to suggest a CAA record be updated or report security issues
If the CAA record does not permit the CA to issue a certificate, then the certificate request will fail.
CAA allows domain owners to state their security rules, which all CAs must follow. As a result, the domain owner can use CAA as a preventative measure to mitigate the vulnerability of an attacker getting a certificate from an unauthorized CA. CAA can also enforce compliance for all employees to purchase certificates from a preferred CA.
Domain Name Validation
In October 2017, the CA/Browser Forum rolled out a complete set of updated domain name validation rules. The new roll out eliminated the option for a CA to use “any other method of confirmation,” and replaced it with four new agreed upon methods. The change has also raised the security level of old and new validation methods. The result is the CAs now have a total of 10 standard methods to validate domains. These methods can be used for DV, OV and EV certificates. For more information, see Baseline Requirements section 3.2.2.
Public Key Pinning is No Longer Recommended
Public Key Pinning was a great idea at first. Google used static public keys to protect their websites. In doing so, the keys were embedded in Chrome and were useful in helping users find the DigiNotar attack in 2011, and in a mistaken CA certificate issued by TURKTRUST in 2012.
The success of public key pinning resulted in RFC 7469 being produced allowing for dynamic HTTP Public Key Pinning (HPKP) which could be deployed by all website administrators. Unfortunately, HPKP is far too complicated to deploy and too easily bricks your site for a long period. It was not highly recommended to be deployed and now Google plans to deprecate then remove support for HPKP in Chrome.
To 2018 and Beyond
In 2018 look forward to measures that tighten security protocols for SSL/TLS certificates. Shorter validity periods for OV and DV certificates more quickly root-out unwanted certificates while CT logging for OV and DV certificates will expand an organization’s ability to monitor certificate issuance. Will TLS 1.3 finally see the light of day?
825-day Certificate Expiry Period
As of March 1, 2018, the following changes will be made:
DV and OV certificate validity periods will be reduced from 39 months to an 825-day maximum
EV certificate validity period will be changed from 27 months to an 825-day maximum
Reuse of information to validate DV and OV certificates will be reduced from 39 months to 825 days. Please note that reuse of information to validate EV certificates will remain at 13 months.
The goal of reducing the certificate lifetime is to force certificates to be changed more frequently. More frequent changes will:
Reduce the number of certificates using older cryptographic standards; for example moving from 1024 to 2048-bit RSA key length or moving from SHA-1 to SHA-2 hashing algorithm
Mitigate certificates that are non-compliant with the CA/Browser Forum Baseline Requirements or EV Guidelines
Minimize active certificates issued due to fraudulent requests and activities
Expire mis-issued certificates more rapidly
Expire certificates with information that has been verified to older standards
The result will be that old SSL/TLS certificates will expire sooner and have less impact on the SSL/TLS ecosystem.
Certificate Transparency (CT)
In April 2018, Google will require all SSL/TLS certificates to be CT-logged in order to have trust in Chrome. CT logging has been deployed since the beginning of 2015 for all EV certificates. Expanding CT logging to both DV and OV certificates will enable domain owners to monitor the CT logs to detect any fraudulent certificates.
There is some concern regarding privacy based on the information in the certificate. For instance, some domains are used for internal use only, but have domain names that clearly identify how the server is used. There is also the concern that exposure of all domains is just another step to support attacks. Certificate subscribers that are concerned about exposing their domain names may consider: 1) not logging, 2) using private trust certificates or 3) using wildcard certificates.
Transport Layer Security (TLS) 1.3
This will be the fourth time we will expect TLS 1.3 to be launched in the next year. In fact, TLS 1.3 is deemed ready. The draft RFC is in the last call stage and TLS 1.3 is already supported by Chrome, Mozilla and Opera. However, deployment of TLS 1.3 is being blocked by faulty middlebox devices that try to analyze traffic and block packets that don’t look like known protocol messages. Testing is ongoing and changes may have to be made to TLS 1.3 to reduce failure rates.

Sale of Goods Act applies to horse sales even when a trader sells and an individual buys
November 9, 2017 November 9, 2017 by europeanequinelawyers
Horses sales between two individuals are governed by the Sale of Goods Act, while horse sales from a trader to an individual are governed by the Consumer Sales Act. But who is responsible for knowing which law applies to the sale of a horse? Is it reasonable to apply the Consumer Sales Act to a product subject to change? A recent judgment by the Court of Appeal for Western Sweden takes up the question of where to draw the line between individual and trader in the equine industry.
The case considered whether the person who sold the horse should be deemed a trader, and accordingly, which law should apply. The Court of Appeal for Western Sweden’s judgment found that the seller should be deemed to have sold the horse as an individual despite being a registered trader conducting business operations in the form of pony riding services. Therefore, the Sale of Goods Act (1990:931) was the applicable law in this case.
“The real question of interest here is whether it is reasonable in the first place to apply a law such as the Consumer Sales Act to a product subject to such great change, such as an animal. We now see a trend among horse owners who are also traders where they are becoming increasingly cautious about selling horses to consumers,” Gulliksson Partner Cecilia Tholse-Rogmark comments.
The Consumer Sales Act is clear: A trader is defined as a natural or legal person acting for purposes related to that person’s trade, business, craft or profession. The Consumer Sales Act should not apply when a trader sells a product under such conditions that the person can be considered as acting in the capacity of an individual. Professional riders or high-level riders who believe they are selling a horse privately will often be considered traders instead under the Consumer Sales Act because of sponsorships and competitions associated with economic benefits that have a direct connection with riding. This can lead to risks when selling to individuals who can assert the legal guarantee and proof rules for latent defects under the act.
Cecilia Tholse-Rogmark welcomes the ongoing reviews and proposed changes relating to the trading of live animals and highlights the risks to sellers posed by current practices.
“When a consumer can assert rights under the Consumer Sales Act when buying a horse, the worst-case scenario is not only that the horse can be returned, but also that the buyer can claim damages for costs resulting from the purchase such as stall rent, veterinarian bills and horse feed. The issue is complex, and trading in animals is particularly specialized. In a certain sense, a horse is a product subject to great change and a ‘used product’ regardless of age. Personally, I think it’s a sad state of affairs when horse breeders are unwilling to take the risk of selling to individuals not acting as traders.”
Cecilia Tholse-Rogmark plays a leading role on Gulliksson’s team for equine law, an area in which legal issues relating to sales and damages often are hot topics.
“A contract that’s good for both the buyer and seller stipulates the governing law. Most horse injuries occur within the first six months following the sale, and who is responsible for the costs and burden of proof largely depends on which law is applicable. However, it should be noted that the Consumer Sales Act is mandatory and cannot be contracted away, but the judgment referred to above demonstrates that you can sell a horse as an individual despite conducting horse-related business. This means that the reverse could also be true. In other words, you could also buy a horse as an individual, and the seller could fall under the scope of the Consumer Sales Act despite the buyer seemingly acting as a trader. The consequences of the act’s mandatory rules are currently a great burden for traders.”

Q&A with Export Finance Australia Chief Economist, Cassandra Winzenried
Are you thinking of expanding your business into an emerging market? We talked to our Chief Economist, Cassandra Winzenried, about the broader macroeconomic and country risks facing Australian export businesses wanting to expand overseas.
Which emerging markets are the key ones for growth in the next 2-3 years?
Emerging and Developing Asia is expected to remain the world’s most dynamic region, by a very considerable margin. The IMF expects an expansion of 6.5% this year and next. This is great news for Australian exporters, given they benefit disproportionately from important geographic and strategic links to the region.
In particular, China is set to remain the most important engine of global growth—accounting for about 30% of the expected global expansion over the next several years. GDP is projected to expand by 6.6% this year—its slowest pace of growth since 1990. This owes to dual headwinds—trade tensions externally and the deleveraging campaign domestically. But despite the enduring and engineered economic slowdown, real GDP output remains strong, and that owes to the enlarged size of the economy. Indeed, last year China grew by the size of Canada’s entire economy in PPP terms.
China’s economic slowdown is offset by continued strong prospects for India and ASEAN. India suffered two major shocks in the last two years which saw economic activity take a deep hit. First, demonetization in 2016 saw 85% of cash in circulation made redundant overnight. Then the new nationwide GST, which replaced multiple taxes last July, caused short term disruption. But the Indian economy was recently characterised as ‘an elephant starting to run’. Overall growth is projected to increase from 6.7% in 2017 to 7.3% in 2018 and 7.5% in 2019. This is essentially a return to long term average growth rates. It also makes India the fastest growing major economy.
Meanwhile, growth in the ASEAN group of economies is expected to stabilise at around 5.3%. These export-facing economies will be among the largest benExport Finance Australiaiaries of stronger global growth given their links into global supply chains. In particular, Vietnam, the Philippines and Indonesia are expected to outperform over the forecast horizon.
Are there any risk trends that businesses should be aware of?
Global growth is expected to peak at 3.9% this year and next—its fastest pace since 2011. But as a country risk economist, I’m paid to worry. And as the global cyclical upswing approaches its two‑year mark, the pace of expansion has become less synchronised, and the downside risks have become more salient. Three risks dominate. But these are interlinked—if one materialises, it could trigger the others.
Higher funding costs. This could cause disruptive asset price fluctuations and reversals of capital flows, particularly to emerging markets with weaker fundamentals and/or higher political risks. This risk has been exacerbated by a global debt binge—global debt topped US$247 trillion in Q1 2018 or 320% of GDP, up from 230% on the eve of the GFC.
An escalating trade war. Higher trade barriers make tradable goods less affordable, disrupt global supply chains, and slow the spread of new technologies—all of which lowers productivity. Indirectly, escalating trade policy rhetoric has spiked uncertainty, which has ill effects on business and financial market sentiment, thereby denting investment
Geopolitical tensions. This is a long list. But includes for instance, fundamental political challenges that we’re seeing in Europe regarding migration and fiscal governance. Indeed, the sell-off in Italian bonds in May once again turned the spotlight on deep structural challenges and thin buffers at the national level.
Apart from the risks that could derail the global economy, business operating risks depend on the country you are talking about. For example, Australian businesses exporting to Papua New Guinea might face payment delays given ongoing foreign exchange shortages. Australian business operating in Vietnam may face issues related to the soundness of banks.
When assessing risk for an Export Finance Australia transaction, what do you look at?
To some degree that varies based on the solution Export Finance Australia is providing. For instance, if we’ve been asked to provide a buyer credit, that is lending money to a sovereign to purchase an Australian good, then we would be looking at a wider range of risk factors relative to a project finance deal where an asset or project is operating in a country but we’re not relying on the government repaying us. Country risks related to bonding are lesser again.
More generally, we analyse a country’s macroeconomic stability. For example, the GDP growth and inflation profile, and the size and composition of the economy. If the economy is heavily commodity dependant it will likely suffer from fluctuations in global asset cycles.
We also look at how well the economy is being managed. For instance, how effective is monetary policy and the regulatory and legal environment, and how severe are political risks.
And then we will look at the country’s finances. That is, how leveraged is the private and public sector, what is the external debt and reserves position, is the current account in dExport Finance Australiait and how far has the currency deviated from its long term average?
How do country risks affect access to finance for Australian businesses?
It’s a fairly basic premise that if a country is inherently risky then a lender needs a higher rate of return to be able to provision accordingly for that risk.
If we at Export Finance Australia are dealing with a country that is deemed to be more risky by lenders, then it will be more costly. And the availability of finance may be lesser.
You mentioned that higher funding costs could affect global growth, can you explain this a little more and the potential impact it could have?
A decade of ultra-low global interest rates has encouraged an unprecedented accumulation of debt, particularly in emerging markets. This is fine while the global economy is powering along and global interest rates are low. But US economic momentum suggests that the Federal Reserve will continue to raise interest rates over the next several years. Higher interest rates will see funds diverted to increasingly hefty interest payments, thereby dampening growth. Tightening global financial conditions could also cause large and destabilising exchange rate movements and reversals of capital flows.
Countries that have higher fiscal and current account dExport Finance Australiaits and countries that have, in particular, idiosyncratic political and policy problems are particularly vulnerable. For example, recent disruptive slumps in the Argentinian peso and Turkish lira have been a manifestation of these issues.
However, we’re heartened by the fact that Australia’s largest emerging market export destinations, China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia and Vietnam—representing collectively over 40% of exports—are relatively well placed to handle financial market turbulence. Most Asian emerging markets dramatically improved their macroeconomic fundamentals following the Asian Financial Crisis. In particular, by liberalising exchange rate regimes and instituting credible inflation targeting regimes, building foreign exchange reserves, and lowering public debt and current account dExport Finance Australiaits. This substantially reduces the risk of contagion to our neighbourhood.

Miss District of Columbia USA 2017
Kara McCullough (27) was recently crowned Miss District of Columbia 2017. She was the runner-up for four consecutive years and declined the opportunity to inherit the title when Deshauna Barber won Miss USA last year. The title was passed on to the second runner-up and McCullough returned to win the crown on her final attempt. Now she will be hoping that she will be crowned her state's fourth Miss USA later this year.
She's beautiful! I hope she does well at the national final!

Street Fighter: The Legend Of Chun-Li
2009 • Action, Crime, Fantasy • USA • Dir. Andrzej Bartkowiak
Reviewed by Phil Mills | Jun 3, 2015
When Capcom first announced their intentions to make a new live-action ‘Street Fighter’ movie, fans everywhere had horrific flashbacks of the 1994 Van Damme outing. When further news filtered through that this would in fact be a Chun-Li origin story starring ‘Smallville’s Kristin Kreuk, it was just about enough to send a few hardcore gamers into cardiac arrest. So, were the fans right to be afraid or is this finally the film to put the ‘Street Fighter’ franchise back on the Hollywood movie map?
As a young girl, Chun-Li (Kreuk) is a devoted daughter who enjoys playing the piano and practising Wushu with her father. One night, her peaceful existence is shattered when the evil tycoon Bison (McDonough) abducts her father and assaults her mother. Years later, Chun-Li has grown up to become a respected young woman as well as a talented concert pianist. Sadly though, her mother is slowly losing the battle with cancer and Chun-Li feels she is no closer to discovering the whereabouts of her father. However, the arrival of a mysterious scroll leads her to a man named Gen (Shou) who happens to be the leader of a crime-fighting organisation. Gen tells Chun-Li that he can lead her to Bison and after a rigorous training regime, the two finally set out to seek justice for all of Bison’s wrongdoings.
The plot for ‘The Legend Of Chun-Li’ veers quite drastically away from the character’s origins in the video game. Gone are the “minor” details such as Chun-Li joining Interpol or entering Bison’s tournament in an undercover capacity, and instead we are left to endure a very simple and exceedingly bland revenge saga. Essentially, it’s really nothing more than the tale of a spoilt little girl who sees her parents victimised (and eventually killed) by a businessman so she decides to exact her revenge. Quite how they managed to dumb it down to such a preposterous level is beyond me but sufficed to say, there’s no meat here and it’s very easy to predict exactly how it will play out. The addition of a narration from the lead character to fill in the gaps also shows that their was a distinct lack of confidence in the story from either the director or the producers.
‘The Legend Of Chun-Li’ is equally lacking when it comes to the characters. No attempt is made to flesh out Chun-Li’s personality and we are just expected to connect with her simply on the basis that she has endured such hardships. Unfortunately though, as any decent filmmaker will tell you, we need to be able to empathise with the central character before we can start to care about her predicament. Likewise, we need to feel the fear emanate from the bad guys but this isn’t very effective when Bison is given one of the most laughable back stories in movie history. And of course, what cinematic turd would be complete without the stereotypical cops who serve no purpose whatsoever other than to look pathetic and helpless until they get some assistance from our heroine.
The cast for ‘The Legend Of Chun-Li’ includes quite a few recognisable faces so you may be excused for expecting it to be passable in the acting department. Unfortunately though, this simply isn’t the case as the majority of the actors are either completely miscast or just not up to the challenge. I was a big fan of Kristin Kreuk in ‘Smallville’ but on the strength of her performance here, it’s clear that she’s not yet capable of carrying a film by herself. She doesn’t do anything particularly wrong but she just lacks the required presence to make a strong leading lady. Meanwhile, the normally reliable Neal McDonough makes for a very weak Bison and the character winds up being about as fearsome as your local lollipop lady. As for the likes of Michael Clarke Duncan or Robin Shou, their roles are really little more than extended cameos but the little impressions they do leave are fairly sour.
When it comes to the action sequences, you might assume that ‘The Legend Of Chun-Li’ would redeem itself but unsurprisingly it fails to take advantage of its fighting roots. The main issue here is the over-reliance on wires as the film uses them in pretty much every scene, for everything from flying kicks to simple acrobatics. Director Andrzej Bartkowiak, the “genius” behind masterpieces such as ‘Cradle 2 The Grave’ and ‘Romeo Must Die’, doesn’t help matters either as he uses the typical quick cut editing techniques and has an odd fetish for shooting everything from a top-down perspective. Much like its 1994 counterpart, ‘The Legend Of Chun-Li’ also overlooks the video game’s over-the-top special moves and the closest it gets is with a crappy looking fireball and one use of the spinning birdkick, which does nothing more than show off Kreuk’s granny panties.
Hollywood had fifteen years to learn from their mistakes and yet somehow they still managed to make another bad ‘Street Fighter’ movie. Personally, I don’t understand the constant need to alter the source material or avoid the obvious decision to make a basic tournament movie. Maybe next time they should consider the ‘TMNT’ CGI route because it’s clear that they are totally devoid of ideas when it comes to doing live-action.

POLITICS OF GRAMMAR COLUMN
MY SCHOLARLY WORKS
STUDY IN AMERICA
Myth of the Decline in Standard of English Usage and Grammar
By Farooq A. Kperogi, Ph.D.
Twitter: @farooqkperogi
There is an enduring chronocentric arrogance in our assessment of notions of quality all over the world. (Chronocentrism is the false, narcissistic belief that one’s or another generation is superior to generations that came before and/or after it). We perpetually bewail the fall in the standards of everything, especially language, presumably from the good old days of “our” or another time.
Every year when the West African Examination Council releases results of “O” level exams, there is often a cornucopia of national mourning in the media about the fall in the standard of education—and especially of English. Several people in my generation read social media posts by younger people and conclude that our world is in peril because we are being succeeded by cheerfully irresponsible know-nothings.
Here in America, my professor colleagues also think the quality of English—and of education itself—is in a frighteningly inexorable freefall, and that the millennial generation can’t be entrusted with the future of the world. “Nobody teaches grammar anymore” is a common refrain among self-appointed grammar Nazis here.
But is the standard of English actually falling? Or is the language merely changing? But, most importantly, has there been a time in the history of the world when standards were thought to be perfect or even adequate?
A Glimpse from the Past
Apparently, chronocentric putdowns of the linguistic proficiency of younger generations is as old as time itself. In his book titled Famous Last Words: The American Language Crisis Reconsidered, Harvey A. Daniels tells us that there are records of pedagogical apprehensions about falling standards of writing and grammar since more than 4,000 years ago in Sumerian, the world’s first written language. “It seems that among the first of the clay tablets discovered and deciphered by modern scholars was one which recorded the agonized complaints of a Sumerian teacher about the sudden drop-off in students’ writing ability,” he wrote.
The Economist’s “Johnson” language column of February 12, 2015 quoted the Sumerian language teacher to have said the following about the decline in standards: “A junior scribe is too concerned with feeding his hunger. He does not pay attention to the scribal art.”
How about English? When did snooty scholars and teachers start complaining about the “decline” of the language?
English has been “bad” since the 1300s
William Langland, an English author, is probably the first recorded chronocentric pedant to bemoan the fall in the standard of English. The Economist quoted him as having written, sometime in the 1300s, that, “There is not a single modern schoolboy who can compose verses or write a decent letter.”
The paper also exhumed a quote from 1387 attributed to an English monk and historian by the name of Ranulph Higden who thought the English tongue was being contaminated by inelegant mixing with Norman French and Vikings. (French people from Normandy conquered the English in 1066 and colonized them for years, including imposing Norman French as the official language of the country).
“By commiyxtion and mellyng, furst wiþ Danes and afterward wiþ Normans, in menye þe contray longage ys apeyred and som useþ strange wlaffyng chyteryng, harryng, and garryng grisbyttyng,” he said. Of course, this is Middle English (as English spoken from 1100 to 1450 is called), which is incomprehensible to many Modern English speakers. Thankfully, the Economist translated it into modern English thus: “English speakers had taken to ‘strange, articulate utterance, chattering, snarling and harsh teeth-gnashing’, bad habits he put down to the mixing together of Anglo-Saxons, Vikings and Norman French.”
Sociolinguists call this code-mixing, that is, the deliberate fusion of lexical elements from two or more distinct languages in one speech act. Interestingly, Hidgen was also guilty of the “offense” of code-mixing that he railed against. “Commiyxtion” (commixing), for instance, traces lexical descent from Norman French, ultimately from Latin. So do “strange” and “contray” (“contrary”).
In 1672, famous English poet John Dryden thought everyone in his generation spoke and wrote terrible English, which departed from the inimitable standards left by Shakespeare and his contemporaries: “It is not their plots which I meant, principally, to tax; I was speaking of their sense and language; and I dare almost challenge any man to shew me a page together, which is correct in both. … [M]alice and partiality set apart, let any man who understands English, read diligently the works of Shakspeare and Fletcher; and I dare undertake that he will find in every page either some solecism of speech, or some notorious flaw in sense,” he wrote.
In the 1700s, English satirist Jonathan Swift said the decline in the standards of English was so enormous that it warranted the establishment of a language academy to police grammar and usage, although, ironically, he thought French, which had (and still has) a language academy, was in a worse state than English. “Our Language is extremely imperfect; that its daily Improvements are by no means in proportion to its daily Corruptions; and the Pretenders to polish and refine it, have chiefly multiplied Abuses and Absurdities; and, that in many Instances, it offends against every Part of Grammar,” he wrote.
In 1762, Robert Lowth, whom the Economist called “probably the most influential English grammarian of all time,” wrote a grammar book in which he pilloried the grammar of even English greats like Shakespeare, John Milton, and writers of the King James Bible. “Our best authors have committed gross mistakes, for want of a due knowledge of English grammar,” he wrote.
In 1786, James Beattie, a Scottish poet and philosophy professor, lamented that, “Our language is degenerating very fast.”
In 1852, Victorian poet Arthur Hugh Clough also tore apart the quality of grammar and writing of his time. “Our own age is notorious for slovenly or misdirected habits of composition,” he wrote.
English in America
Anxieties about the decline in the quality of English isn’t limited to Britain; it also manifested early in America. A Scottish writer by the name of Captain Thomas Hamilton who visited America in the 1800s wrote: “Unless the present progress of change [is] arrested...there can be no doubt that, in another century, the dialect of the Americans will become utterly unintelligible to an Englishman.” Nearly 200 years after, it hasn’t.
In 1879, a Harvard University professor by the name of Adams Sherman Hill condemned “the work of even good scholars disfigured by bad spelling, confusing punctuation, ungrammatical, obscure, ambiguous, or inelegant expressions.”
In a well-cited 1889 essay titled “Methods of Study in English,” an American by the name of M. W. Smith wrote: “The vocabularies of the majority of high-school pupils are amazingly small. I always try to use simple English, and yet I have talked to classes when quite a minority of the pupils did not comprehend more than half of what I said.”
In 1917, yet another American by the name of Charles Henshaw Ward said, “From every college in the country goes up the cry, ‘Our freshmen [i.e., first-year university students] can't spell, can't punctuate.’ Every high school is in disrepair because its pupils are so ignorant of the merest rudiments.”
In a 1961 book by J. Mersand titled Attitudes toward English Teaching, we read the following: “Recent graduates, including those with university degrees, seem to have no mastery of the language at all. They cannot construct a simple declarative sentence, either orally or in writing. They cannot spell common, everyday words. Punctuation is apparently no longer taught. Grammar is a complete mystery to almost all recent graduates.”
Finally, in a 1978 book by Arn Tibbets and Charlene Tibbets titled What’s Happening to American English?, the following sentence appears: “The common language is disappearing. It is slowly being crushed to death under the weight of verbal conglomerate, a pseudospeech at once both pretentious and feeble, that is created daily by millions of blunders and inaccuracies in grammar, syntax, idiom, metaphor, logic, and common sense.... In the history of modern English there is no period in which such victory over thought-in-speech has been so widespread. Nor in the past has the general idiom, on which we depend for our very understanding of vital matters, been so seriously distorted.”
No Golden Age
It is apparent that there has never been an age in the history of humankind when education and language use were considered perfect, when people didn’t have anxieties about decline in standards. This is true not just of English but of all languages. In other words, there was never a golden age. Nor would there ever be. So let’s stop beating ourselves up.
There have always been, and there will always be, people who cherish and guard grammar and “proper” usage, people who are ignorant of the socially acceptable consensus in language use, and people who intentionally transgress conventional boundaries.

The World’s Top 10 Most Innovative Companies Of 2015 In Israel
From brain imaging technology to the WhatsApp for businesses, the companies born in Israel that are changing how we interact with the world.
[Photo: Flickr user JML78]
By Fast Company Staff 6 minute Read
1. ElMindA
For changing the way we see our brains. Imagine your brain as a network of city streets, says ElMindA CEO Ronen Gadot. MRIs show us the roadways, but not the traffic. ElMindA’s device, however, can observe the effect of billions of neurons that fire when you think, talk, and breathe. It uses up to 256 electrodes and sits on the head like a hairnet, monitoring how brain networks respond to one another to help treat such conditions as PTSD and memory loss. “If there’s a traffic jam,” Gadot says, “we can detect it and find better interventions to open up those clogs.” The technology, approved last July by the FDA, could eventually help the 2 billion people living with brain disorders such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and ADHD. For example, researchers may, for the first time, see how the brain responds to a drug versus a placebo. “The more we can see,” Gadot says, “the more we can affect functionality.”
2. MedAware
For discovering errors in the prescribing of drugs. An estimated eight million times a year, errors in U.S. drug prescriptions can have life-threatening consequences. This is occurring even as the method of prescribing is shifting from handwritten to electronic. MedAware’s Prescription Analysis and Alert System analyzes the prescription a health care provider enters, compares it to the patient’s records and to other patients with the same condition, analyzes the provider’s prescribing patterns, and approves the prescription within seconds or flags it. The goal: to prevent errors that derive from a drug’s name or a patient’s name being similar to the intended one, or that greatly deviate from the norm. The market: hospitals, health insurance companies, pharmacy chains, and primary care physicians. “It’s unacceptable that anyone dies because of the click of a button,” says MedAware’s cofounder and CEO, Gidi Stein. Ninety percent of the prescriptions that MedAware flags, he says, “are true alerts.”

3. Mobileye
For vehicular collision-avoidance technology. That cute Super Bowl XLVIII commercial of a dad rescuing his son from various close calls from toddler to teenager, only for the distracted boy, now driving, to screech to avoid an apparent accident? It was for an automobile company, but may as well have been for Mobileye. The Jerusalem company seems to launch annual innovations to its foundational product of mounted cameras that take in the surroundings, detect possible dangers, and automatically brake the vehicle when necessary. And its auto partners include Tesla, GM, Audi, and BMW. Its upcoming innovation centers on autonomous driving—meaning, the person behind the wheel becomes solely a passenger under cruise-control conditions, with the car guiding itself along a highway. “Drivers” could thus read a book or text to their hearts’ content. Also in the works: autonomous-driving capabilities for city streets and country roads.
4. ReWalk Robotics
For marching wearable robots into the home. This past June, the ReWalk Personal System became the first exoskeleton to be cleared by the FDA for use at home and in the community. No longer stuck in laboratories or rehab facilities, these robotic devices can now help users move about the world, restoring some of the lower-limb mobility lost to injury or disease. ReWalk Robotics’ model essentially walks for its wearer, balancing and adjusting its gait as it steps forward, and proving a first glimpse of a future where exoskeletons are as commonplace as wheelchairs.
5. Freightos
For bringing freight into the 21st century. Shipping is one of the world’s oldest global industries, but it remains as vital as ever. It’s also plenty complicated, necessitating untold numbers of ships, planes, and trucks to deliver items from seller to buyer across borders. (The United States itself annually exports approximately $2.27 trillion in goods, with $2.7 trillion imported.) Yet a freight forwarder—similar to a travel agent, making all the arrangements for transport and delivery—often requires a week to provide a client with a price quote. Freightos uploads forwarders’ contracts, specifications, and factors like gasoline prices to produce instantly generated price quotes for the forwarder to provide its customers, the sellers. Freightos’ clients include such giants as Ceva Logistics and Apex Logistics; for one client, Kestrel, Freightos estimates having saved it $150,000 annually in labor costs and, within 60 days, more than quadrupling its monthly average of quotes generated.
6. BillGuard
For identifying breaches of credit-card security. Remember the December 2013 breach of Target’s database that compromised the credit-card information of approximately 40 million consumers? Thousands of those people were first alerted to the breach because they’re BillGuard customers. Akin to a bank asking a customer to verify the authenticity of suspicious charges, BillGuard’s new data-breach feature detects patterns that could mean that the person’s credit-card number was stolen. Card holders registered with BillGuard are notified of such breaches faster, by a new app, much like the company’s precursor, an app that detects unauthorized “gray” charges such as the free magazine subscriptions that morphed into paid ones. Today, approximately 800,000 people use BillGuard’s data-breach app. Since the Target breach, BillGuard has alerted such clients as Neiman Marcus, AT&T, and California’s Department of Motor Vehicles of credit-card breaches that had resulted in $1.5 million in fraudulent charges.
7. WebyClip
For matching video to text. Keeping a potential customer’s eyes on a web page is the aim of every e-commerce seller. WebyClip’s algorithm does that by finding the most appropriate, publicly available video clip (such as on YouTube), and importing it onto the e-commerce page being viewed. Someone reading up on a digital camera, say, will also see an accompanying video tutorial on the camera’s features. Such “targeted video optimization” aims to increase sales and reduce returns by helping a customer select the right item in the first place. Most of the company’s 20,000 clients (totaling 2 million video views daily) are those selling on eBay, and, indeed, eBay itself is a WebyClip client. “Even just to get one video means heavy, heavy lifting—but we provide the video to turn you from a shopper into a buyer,” says company CEO Ariel Shemesh. Clients’ sales are up an average of 12 percent, shoppers’ time on a page is up 90 percent, and 30 million videos were viewed in the first half of 2014, he adds.
8. MobileOCT
For cheaper, more efficient screening for cervical cancer. The company’s mobile colposcope provides low-cost, easy-access screening for cervical cancer, and means to improve care in medically underserved areas, where the disease’s fatality rate is high. Typical optical coherence tomography (OCT) machines in large medical practices or clinics cost upward of $50,000; MobileOCT’s costs $400. The device connects to smartphones, projects white or green light onto the cervix, takes an image clearly at high magnification, and uploads it securely so a physician can quickly—and correctly!—detect whether cancer treatment is necessary. Ariel Beery, MobileOCT’s New York-raised and Tel Aviv-residing CEO, says that five of every six women screened for cervical cancer are unnecessarily sent for treatment. MobileOCT’s device eliminates this waste by getting the diagnosis right, thereby enabling budget-limited municipalities and countries to screen 3.6 times more women for every dollar spent on standard exams.
9. Zula
For cross-platform work-team communication. Skype, e-mail, and teleconferencing are so 2000s. Zula offers an upgraded way to collaborate: It combines communications features into an app that also allows file sharing, messaging, polling, and conference-call-arranging, and can even include participants from outside a company’s network, who can log in to the meeting via Facebook, LinkedIn, or Google. Some refer to Zula as a WhatsApp for business. Or, as the company’s cofounder, Jacob Ner-David, told the Disrupt SF 2013 technology conference: “We think this is the beginning of reducing e-mail and moving into a much more structured way of communicating as a team.”
10. Salient Eye
For a cellular phone-based security system. Those unused smartphones sitting in your dresser drawer? Salient Eye will let you deploy them—in particular, the built-in cameras—as a do-it-yourself home-security system. Its motion-sensor app for Android allows users to monitor the area or room where the phone unobtrusively rests. The app emits an alarm and sends photographs, texts, or e-mail alerts of intruders. The company will soon be adapting the app for iPhones and develop video capability. As of August 2014, says Salient Eye’s CEO, Haggai Meltzer, the app has approximately 10,000 users in 100 countries. “Our goal is to be the standard of alarm systems for those who don’t have professional alarm systems,” he says.

AirXpanders’ breast tissue expander scores de novo clearance
by Amirah Al Idrus |
The AeroForm tissue expander allows patients to control their breast tissue expansion ahead of reconstruction.
The FDA cleared AirXpanders’ wireless tissue expander system, which provides patients who choose to undergo breast reconstruction with an at-home, needle-free alternative to saline breast expanders.
The AeroForm system comprises an expander that is implanted behind the chest muscle and a hand-held, wireless controller. A patient uses the controller to release compressed carbon dioxide into the device, which gradually expands the breast tissue to make room for a breast implant. Patients may administer doses of carbon dioxide daily, up to three times a day. Meanwhile, patients who receive traditional saline expanders must make multiple visits to their doctor’s office for expansion via saline injection.
While AeroForm doses are small—a “small 10cc puff” each—they add up over time and can get a patient fully expanded within 17 days, said AirXpanders CEO Scott Dodson. A saline device, Dodson said, can take upward of three months to reach the same state.

Aside from reducing the total time required to expand, the system also cuts down on the time patients spend traveling to and waiting at their surgeon’s office. Its needle-free nature is also a big draw, as multiple painful saline injections over the course of months could be a barrier to reconstructive surgery for some patients, according to the company.
“Reconstruction is one of the last phases of a long and sometimes taxing journey for women who are treated for breast cancer," said Dr. Jeffrey Ascherman, principal investigator for AirXpanders’ U.S. XPAND trial, in a statement. "They have lost time and control, and are eager to get back to their lives. Needle-free, patient-guided expansion could be a suitable option for many women undergoing the reconstruction process."
AeroForm earned a CE mark in 2012 and is licensed for sale in Australia, where it scored approval in 2014. The company is already preparing for its U.S. launch, which will take place in selected academic and community hospitals that took part in the pivotal and continued access trials of the device. In June, the company picked up $15 million in a private placement in anticipation of U.S. clearance and market launch.
“The market opportunity for AirXpanders in the U.S. is significant, with the total addressable market worth more than US$800 million,” Dodson said in the statement. "As U.S. mastectomy rates continue to rise and growing numbers of women undergo breast reconstruction, we are confident AeroForm will positively redefine the reconstruction process for women in the U.S."

Brothers in Energy
China used to call Russia its ‘older brother’. However, never again since the fall of the USSR. In an effort to portray its status as a less powerful yet assuredly more senior neighbour, Russian officials have recently begun referring to their country as China’s ‘elder sister’. The new term has proven less popular in China.

Is India any Cyber-Safer?
Recently, technical and operational specifications of the Scorpene class submarine that India is buying from DCNS — a naval shipbuilder two-thirds owned by the French government — were leaked to The Australian newspaper. The incident follows the Modi administration’s launch of an AU$150 billion (US$113 billion) program to modernise the armed forces.
Is the Latest Steel Crisis China's Doing?
Today, advanced economies blame China for steel overcapacity. In reality, four decades ago Washington and Brussels opted for bad policies, which China seeks to transcend.
In the G20 summit in Hangzhou, some world leaders had harsh words for China’s steel overcapacity. Before the summit, President Barack Obama was urged by US lawmakers, unions and trade associations to blame China’s trade practices for US mill closures and unemployment and to stress the need for “aggressive enforcement of US trade remedy laws.”
Fracking to Sand: Thank You
The late-2014, Saudi-initiated oil-price war may have taken the 'boom' out of the US shale industry as it seriously threatened OPEC market share, but Saudi victory has been elusive: US shale has proven amazingly resilient. The industry has adapted quickly to the new playing field, and the unsung hero of a new uptick in drilling and investment isn't just true grit—it's sand.
Which Factors are Fueling Oil Rallies?
In most financial market contexts, crude oil maintains its position as one of the most actively traded commodities in the world. In futures markets, light sweet crude oil is the most commonly traded futures contract, and price trends in these areas can be a great indicator of how commodities as a whole are likely to trade in the near-term. Over the last year, we have seen some historic price movements in oil and precious metals. Here we will look at some of the factors that
Building a Single ASEAN Food Sector
The food sector has the potential to benefit greatly in the new ASEAN Economic Community (AEC). However, because food products attract higher levels of regulation, which often varies between member countries, a significant number of non-tariff measures (NTMs) remain. Such regulatory heterogeneity creates challenges for increasing food trade, harmonising standards and ultimately creating an integrated ASEAN single market.
Oil & Gas Equipment Manufacturers will be Slow to Recover
Oilfield services, shipbuilders and other industries that rose with the pre-2014 oil price boom have had it hard. Since barrel rates fell, their previous patrons have become uninterested in doling out major purchase orders, leaving oil and gas equipment manufacturers without revenues.
How is China's Low-Carbon Transformation Progressing?
China was responsible for 25 percent of global carbon dioxide emissions in 2012. According to World Bank research, cities consume more than 65 percent of global energy and emit some 70 percent of greenhouse gases. Transforming cities into ‘low-carbon cities’ will therefore be an important policy tool in mitigating climate change.
Commercial Credit Card Caps could Crimp Australian Small Businesses
Small to medium enterprises (SME) are increasingly relying on commercial credit cards to finance their operations, because payment terms for the businesses they supply are stretching out. However, if the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) goes ahead with plans to include commercial cards in the new caps on interchange fees, SMEs will be even more hard pressed to make ends meet.
Selling the Brand Name and the Generic
Mylan is the latest pharmaceutical company to face controversy over its drug pricing. It has come under scrutiny and strong criticism from the public and government officials for raising the price of its EpiPen allergy device from about US$100 in 2008 to about US$600 currently.
Oil Output Freeze Looking Less Likely
Oil has broken down further today. The ostensible trigger was the larger than expected build in US inventories. However, the price of oil has been trending lower since the beginning of last week. It appears that our skepticism of talk of an output freeze is gaining support.
The Saudis have indicated that they do not see a need for action, while the Iranians have not yet returned output to pre-embargo levels.
The Permian Basin Bucks the Trend for Now
The collapse of oil prices has ground shale drilling to a halt, but the one region where drilling is still active, and even increasing, is in West Texas.
Silicon Valley vs. Antitrust Regulators...Fight!
Judging by the political winds, Silicon Valley seems headed for a showdown with antitrust regulators.
For the first time since 1988, the Democratic Party’s platform includes stronger antitrust enforcement, while leading liberals have singled out Google, Apple and Facebook for holding too much market power.
A Company's Survival Guide when Dropping a Sponsorship

Are You a 'Lithium Skeptic'?
We have gone electric, and there is no going back at this point. Lithium is our new fuel, but like fossil fuels, the reserves we are currently tapping into are finite—and that is what investors can take to the bank.
You may think lithium got too popular too fast. You may suspect electric vehicles are too much buzz and not enough real future. You may, in short, be a lithium skeptic, one of many. Yet, despite this skepticism, lithium demand is rising steadily and sharply, and indications that a shortage may be looming are very real.

Flim Weakly Review- The Kitchen
By Chris Wyatt Last updated Sep 25, 2019
Jean Luc Godard once said “Film is truth, 24 frames per second.” Now, I don’t know what that means, but I do know it’s wrong. The Kitchen cannot be truth, because it’s made of film, and truth is made of emotions or something. I also don’t know who Jean Luc Godard is, or what 24 frames have to do with it, as frames are usually found in Asda, for pictures and photos to sit in.
Although, actually, films are made of pictures, aren’t they? So maybe that’s what he meant, in which case, he’s very clever, even if he’s from somewhere that isn’t where I’m from.
So, what, in fact, is a film?
Well, it’s a thing you go to see when it’s too early to see it on tv. It even comes out before the dvd. And it costs three times as much as watching it for free, which is really stupid. Unless it has nudity in it.
But not every film does.
“Bambi” didn’t.
Neither did “Spaceballs” and that has ‘balls’ in the title.
Welcome to FLIM WEAKLY.
This week, I went to The Kitchen. But not the one in my house.
The funny one from Bridesmaids becomes unfunny and starts a gang with a bunch of other ladies who are also not funny, because they are poor or something.
Its got guns in it and the ginger guy from Star Wars and it made me not want to be a criminal, which I guess is a good thing.
I also don’t know why it was called The Kitchen, because the women don’t cook anything, because they’re all too busy being totes gangstas.
Marks out of 10….

Zuma fires Gordhan as finance minister in late-night cabinet reshuffle
Joseph Cotterill
South Africa’s President Jacob Zuma dismissed Pravin Gordhan as his finance minister, threatening further turmoil for the country’s fragile economy and setting the stage for the biggest crisis yet for the ruling African National Congress under his leadership.
Mr Zuma fired Mr Gordhan alongside eight other ministers as part of a late-night cabinet reshuffle on Thursday that was used to purge growing numbers of the president’s critics, but may trigger a backlash within the ANC that could fracture the party two years before national elections due in 2019.
Malusi Gigaba, the home affairs minister who has been Mr Zuma’s close ally, will replace Mr Gordhan as South Africa’s fourth finance minister in two years, the president said in a statement.
“I have decided to make changes to the National Executive in order to improve efficiency and effectiveness,” Mr Zuma said, adding that he would direct the new ministers to “work tirelessly with their colleagues to bring about radical socio-economic transformation.”
The rand fell nearly 4 per cent against the US dollar in late trading as the reshuffle began. The forced departure of Mr Gordhan, who fought to retain the country’s investment-grade status, may lead to rating agencies cutting South Africa to junk within days.

Reactor still provokes community outrage
Submitted by FOEAdmin on Fri, 09/12/2005 - 00:56
Sydney, Thursday December 8, 2005
Community and environment groups continue their opposition at today’s hearing into the granting of an Operating Licence for a second nuclear reactor in Sydney, with a display of 8000 handprints from people around the country who want a Nuclear-free Australia.
“A nuclear reactor is the wrong technology in the wrong place,” said Greenpeace nuclear campaigner James Courtney. “The terrorist risk makes the prospect of building a nuclear reactor in Australia’s most populous city even more hazardous than when Greenpeace showed how vulnerable reactor security was back in 2001.”
In repeated surveys more than 70% of Australians have said they don’t want another reactor in Sydney – the last national survey commissioned by Greenpeace showed that up to 80% of people were especially opposed while there is no solution to the radioactive waste problem.
The Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency (ARPANSA) has approved each stage of the reactor construction, despite promising that a solid plan must be in place to deal with nuclear waste before the reactor can be built.
"Construction began on this reactor with assurances that a waste management plan must be firmly in place before the operational licence would be granted. However there is still no agreement on how to manage the existing waste stockpile and we should not be producing more now,” said Australian Conservation Foundation nuclear campaigner Dave Sweeney
“Yesterday the federal government used its slender Senate majority to push through heavy handed laws to try and impose a waste dump on the Northern Territory and radioactive waste management in Australia remains deeply contested," said Sweeney.
Dr Jim Green from Friends of the Earth says a nuclear reactor is not necessary for medical purposes:
"The claim that a reactor is required for medical isotope production is false. There has been no evidence of disrupted isotope supply during lengthy closures of the existing reactor for maintenance. Most countries - including advanced industrial countries such as the USA, the UK and Japan - rely on cyclotrons and imported isotopes for all or almost all of their medical supplies."
Representatives from community group, People Against a Nuclear Reactor (PANR) say there are many unresolved issues that are of vital concern to the local Sutherland Shire community:
“The public has been denied access to information on the consequences analysis of a terrorist attack on Lucas Heights; there is no coherent means of government compensation (insurance) to local residents following an accident, and local residents will not be protected by a minimal emergency evacuation zone of just 3km,” said PANR representative Genevieve Kelly. “Until these issues are acted on in the interest of public safety ARPANSA must deny an operating licence for the new reactor. We look for brave action on the part of its CEO, Dr Loy, not to bow to the forces of government."

What Happened in the Stock Market Today
On another record day on Wall Street, L Brands plummeted after announcing December sales, and Walgreens fell despite reporting a good quarter.
Jim Crumly
(TMFSpeyside)
Jan 4, 2018 at 5:03PM
Jim bought his first stocks in 1967 with paper route money and has been invested in equities ever since. He's still learning, though, and enjoys studying and investing in a wide variety of businesses. He has a BS and MS in electrical engineering from Stanford University, and retired after 34 years with a large technology company.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES:^DJI) closed above 25,000 for the first time on Thursday, as it and and the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX:^GSPC) set new records.
Today's stock market
Percentage Change
Point Change
Dow 0.61% 152.45
S&P 500 0.40% 10.93
Data source: Yahoo! Finance.
Financial stocks led the market; the Financial Select Sector SPDR ETF (NYSEMKT:XLF) gained 0.9%. Brick-and-mortar retail stocks had a tough day, as December sales figures started rolling out, and numbers from companies such as Macy's and J.C. Penney didn't quite meet elevated hopes for the holiday season. The SPDR S&P Retail ETF (NYSEMKT:XRT) was down as much as 2.5% during the day but partially recovered to close off 0.6%.
L Brands (NYSE:LB) was particularly hard hit in the retail sell-off, and shares of Walgreens Boots Alliance (NASDAQ:WBA) sank despite the company reporting a quarter that beat expectations.
L Brands reports weak December sales, lowers profit outlook
L Brands, parent company of Victoria's Secret, PINK, and Bath & Body Works, reported a sales gain for the month of December and updated earnings guidance for its fiscal fourth quarter, which ends later this month. December sales increased 3% to $2.5 billion on comparable-store sales growth of 1%. Guidance for fourth quarter EPS was given as $2.00, compared with previous guidance of $1.95 to $2.10 and analyst expectations of $2.04. The stock plunged 12.3%.
Strength in online sales helped balance out continued weakness in physical-store sales. Considering all channels, Victoria's Secret comps were down 1% compared with a decline of 4% in the quarter last year, while Bath & Body Works had comps of 4% compared with 3% last year. Based on physical-store sales only, though, Victoria's Secret comparable sales declined 6% and Bath & Body Works grew only 2%. In the conference call, the company explained that December merchandising margin was below expectations due to a stronger-than-expected response to the Victoria's Secret holiday reward card.
Compared to the disappointments that the company delivered earlier in the year, the December results would seem to indicate that L Brands has managed to stabilize sales declines. But after a positive third-quarter report, expectations for a stronger holiday season drove the stock price up 30% in November, and investors evidently sought to lock in some of those gains today.
Walgreens grows sales on higher prescription volumes
Walgreens Boots Alliance reported better-than-expected sales and earnings for its fiscal first quarter and raised the low end of its guidance for full-year earnings, but the generally good news didn't impress investors, and the stock fell 5.2%.
Sales increased 7.9% to $30.7 billion and EPS (excluding some one-time events) rose 16.4% to $1.28. Analysts were expecting adjusted earnings of $1.26 per share on sales of $30.4 billion. The company raised the low end of its guidance for full-year adjusted EPS by $0.05 cents to a range of $5.45 to $5.70.
The sales increase came mainly from a 14.1% jump in pharmacy sales in the U.S., with comparable-pharmacy sales gaining 7.4%, driven by higher prescription volumes. Sales in the front end of the stores declined by 2.8%. Retail pharmacy international saw a sales decline of 0.8% on a constant currency basis, and wholesale pharmacy grew 4.5% excluding currency effects. Walgreens has acquired 357 of the 1,932 stores it is buying from Rite Aid and expects to transfer ownership of the remaining stores by spring of 2018, achieving cost savings of $300 million annually within four years of the transaction's close.
Walgreens' results might have generated a better response from investors on another day, but in a session when retail stocks were under pressure anyway, the market didn't warm to the company's report.

Chelsea fans unveil extraordinary tribute to Eden Hazard against Liverpool
The fans of the Blues still have a soft spot for their former talisman.

Fixtures between Chelsea and Liverpool always provide memorable moments, it's part of what makes the fixture so special.
But no one could have predicted what was on show before kick-off at Stamford Bridge.
As supporters were preparing for Sunday afternoon's fixture to get underway, fans behind the goal unveiled a banner in tribute to former star Eden Hazard.
The Belgian international left west London during the summer in favour of a big-money move to Real Madrid, but it seems that supporters have not forgotten him.
Hazard was certainly a fans' favourite at Stamford Bridge after being a key player during his seven years at the club.
'Announce three points' - Chelsea fans love what Frank Lampard has done against Liverpool
The winger was instrumental in many of Chelsea's recent successes, most notably the Europa League victory in Baku last season in which Hazard played a key part.
As it turned out, it was Hazard's last action in a Chelsea shirt as he finalised his move to the Bernabeu.
Twitter: You can follow our dedicated Chelsea Twitter account, our Chelsea correspondent Oliver Harbord and senior reporter Alan Smith.
Facebook: You can follow our Chelsea page and Oliver Harbord.
But while Eden Hazard is no longer playing in west London, it seems that supporters still have a soft spot for the star.
Things might not have worked out so far in Madrid, but one thing's for certain and that's that he'll always have a place in the hearts of those at Stamford Bridge.

MAJOR: China to Restrict Visas for US Visitors with Anti-China Links
Anglo 5ChinaEurasia
By Drago Bosnic Last updated Oct 9, 2019
BEIJING – China plans tighter visa restrictions for US nationals with ties to anti-China groups, people with knowledge of the proposed curbs said, following similar US restrictions on Chinese nationals as relations between the countries sour.
China’s Ministry of Public Security has for months been working on rules to limit the ability of anyone employed, or sponsored, by US intelligence services and human rights groups to travel to China, Al-Jazeera reported. The proposed changes follow the introduction by the United States of tighter rules for visas for Chinese scholars in May.
New US visa restrictions announced on Tuesday, on Chinese government and Communist Party officials the United States believes responsible for the detention or abuse of Muslim minorities, had bolstered the case for the new Chinese restrictions, one of the sources added.
“This is not something we want to do but we don’t seem to have any choice,” the source stated.
The Chinese rules would mandate the drafting of a list of US military and CIA-linked institutions and rights groups, and the addition of their employees to a visa blacklist, according to the sources, who declined to be identified.
The tighter restrictions come amid heightened concern in Beijing that the United States and other governments are using such organizations to incite anti-government protests in both mainland China and Hong Kong, and would also be in retaliation for the US visa restrictions against Chinese researchers and officials, the first source noted.
“The plan has been widely discussed by senior police officers over recent months, but made more likely to be implemented after the Hong Kong protests and the US visa ban on Chinese officials,” the source added.
China’s National Immigration Administration, which operates under the Ministry of Public Security, did not immediately respond to a faxed request for comment. The rivalry between the United States and China is fuelled by a range of issues including commercial competition, human rights and worries about security.
The United States took a major step in confronting China in May when it added Chinese tech giant Huawei Technologies Co and 70 affiliates to its so-called Entity List, banning the Chinese company from acquiring components and technology from American firms without US government approval. The United States suspects Huawei’s equipment could be used by Beijing for spying, which the Chinese firm has repeatedly denied.
The US Commerce Department on Monday cited the mistreatment of Uighur Muslims and others in a decision to add 20 Chinese public security bureaus and eight companies to a trade blacklist, including the world’s largest maker of video surveillance gear, Hikvision, and the world’s most valuable artificial intelligence startup, SenseTime.
The US moves have cast a pall over US-China trade talks in Washington on Thursday and Friday between Chinese Vice Premier Liu He and US Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer and Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin. The United States is also moving ahead with discussions on possible restrictions on capital flows to China, with a focus on investments by US government pension funds, Bloomberg reported.
The latest tit-for-tat visa restrictions began in April when some prominent Chinese scholars had their US visas revoked. The following month, the United States introduced legislation intended to prohibit anyone employed or sponsored by the Chinese military from getting student or research visas.
China has denounced what it sees as punitive US action against its nationals. US citizens hoping to visit China’s mainland must apply for an entry visa. US passport holders do not need a visa to enter Hong Kong.

Adriana Cohen: Democrats pushing impeachment hoax act like US is a banana republic
By Adriana Cohen | Creators Syndicate
Rep Biggs reacts to the House Judiciary committee delaying impeachment vote
Reaction from Rep. Andy Biggs.
Bad-faith Democrats pushing the impeachment hoax on the heels of one illegitimate investigation of the president after the next are destroying our democracy as we know it.
What separates America from a banana republic is the peaceful transition of power – something Democrats have steadfastly refused to honor, as they've never accepted the results of the 2016 presidential election.
Instead, they've been trying to derail President Trump from doing the job he was elected to do, by subjecting his administration and the American people to a never-ending barrage of partisan-fueled investigations – built on sand.
TUCKER CARLSON: IG REPORT IS A BIG, BIG PROBLEM FOR CNN, OTHERS – THEY ARE EXPOSED AS LIARS AND KNOW-NOTHINGS
First there was the Russian collusion hoax concocted by Hillary Clinton; the Democratic National Committee; and chief conspiracy theorist Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., a documented liar who told us for the past three years that Trump colluded with Russia to steal the 2016 election.
This massive lie and disinformation campaign Democrats waged with a helping hand from complicit #FakeNewsMedia not only harmed our country; it sowed corrosive distrust in U.S. elections.
This was a win for communist nations and rogue regimes that seek to weaken America – the greatest democracy on Earth. They can now send a thank-you note to the left for having done their unscrupulous work for them.
Democrats' deceptive actions have also caused damaging distrust in the Department of Justice. We've seen former President Barack Obama's FBI, led by dirty FBI Director James Comey, use Russian-sourced opposition research paid for by the Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee as a pretext to open counterintelligence investigations, spy on Clinton's political rival's associates and target Trump's campaign.
CLICK HERE TO GET THE OPINION NEWSLETTER
The inspector general report has now confirmed the FBI engaged in 17 falsehoods and omissions including obtaining deceptive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants, doctored evidence by an FBI official and withheld exculpatory evidence. All of which led to a highly divisive special counsel investigation by Robert Mueller to take down the president of the United States.
Adriana Cohen: Democrats' impeachment hoax will backfire spectacularly
Adriana Cohen: Trump impeachment inquiry is Democratic election meddling and a one-sided charade
If this isn't a clear-cut case of election meddling, what is, exactly?
"Is it worse to have a foreign government trying to meddle in our elections, or is it worse to have our own government meddling in the election?" Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., asked Inspector General Michael Horowitz during Wednesday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. "Because that's I think exactly what this report shows. It shows that our government, the most powerful law enforcement agency in the nation, the FBI, effectively meddled in an ongoing presidential campaign."
A conspiracy took place at the highest echelons of our government to try to stop Trump from getting elected, and when that collapsed, Comey admitted to having leaked sensitive memos to initiate the special counsel investigation, which ultimately found no evidence of Russian collusion or criminal wrongdoing by the president.
That was Democrats' first serious attempt to block America's time-honored tradition of transferring power peacefully from one party to the next following an election. This failed coup d'etat will forever tarnish the annals of history.
But instead of accepting the findings of multiple congressional investigations and the Mueller probe, Democrats just pivoted to their next hoax: impeachment.
Over the past several weeks, voters have witnessed desperate Democrats use a "pin the tail on the donkey" approach to finding cause for impeachment.
First they tried to pin allegations of a quid pro quo on the president following his July phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. When that didn't stick, lacking evidence, liberal lawmakers tried to pin bribery on our commander in chief. Finding no proof of yet another baseless allegation, Democrats settled on a generic abuse of power and obstruction of Congress.
These allegations are ambiguous to where even Democratic Rep. Stephen Lynch of Massachusetts called them "nebulous" during a TV interview this week.
It's no wonder that when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., and company unveiled two questionable articles of impeachment this week, they simultaneously announced they'll bring the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement forward for a vote – stepping on their own impeachment narrative.
Why? Because Pelosi knows how weak their case for impeachment is, so Democrats are deliberately trying to change the subject.
"They're embarrassed by the impeachment," the president told the crowd at a campaign rally in Hershey, Pa. "This is the lightest, weakest impeachment," he said, highlighting that no crimes were included in the articles. "This is impeachment light. This is the lightest impeachment in the history of our country by far."
Given what we've seen so far, the president is 100 percent correct. Democrats' case for impeachment is predicated on partisan bureaucrats who only possess hearsay and presumptions –not evidence.
This is yet another failed coup attempt by the left to block the peaceful transition of power.
The question now becomes: When will voters say "enough"?

The RPMs
Ahoy there! We're The RPMs from Brighton and we are (in order of sexiness) Jack Valero, Callum James and Miguel Cosme.
Jack - I play guitar and sing all at the same time!
Miguel - I play bass and sing when Jack isn't doing it properly
(Jack - Hey!)
Callum: I'm the drummer....and sing if I have too.
ANNOYINGLY CATCHY SONGS
How should your music be listened to?
With expendable income... just kidding cruising down a sunny highway.
What do you miss about home when you're on tour?
Just friends and family really... and not having to share a bathroom.
What British music icons inspire your sound today?
Jack - I take huge inspiration from Mark Ronson, he's like a modern day Motown. I just love how he takes something classic and makes it modern and relevant.
Callum - Well probably everyone in music has taken some form of inspiration from The Beatles, I know I have! But I like to keep my inspirations current, particularly the Arctic Monkeys and the way they have evolved so much over the past few years.
Miguel - I can't think of any icons per-say, it's always such a combination of people it's hard to pin-point just a few. But I'd say The Jam had a pretty big influence on us in our early days.

AMD Patents its own Ray Tracing Solution
It seems that AMD has been working on its own idea for ray tracing hardware for some time now. In 2017, the company patented a hybrid solution to allow more flexible use of ray tracing. It cannot be ruled out that the variant of this technology will appear in PlayStation 5 and Xbox Scarlett.
AMD also looks at ray tracing.
Ray tracing is one of the hottest topics in the world of computer graphics. It's been talked about a lot, thanks in particular to Nvidia, which has opted for this technology on GeForce RTX series cards - the GPUs have special RT cores that help with the required calculations, resulting in better performance when ray tracing is activated. AMD has so far kept a moderate distance from the technology. The company confirmed that they are working on hardware support for ray tracing, but we also know that the solution will not be implemented in the first generation of Navi GPUs. It seems, however, that something is actually happening in this field, because the company still in December 2017 patented its own way of supporting hardware ray tracing.
The technology developed by Dr Lisy Su is a hybrid. The graphics card should be able to perform the calculations required for ray tracing using both dedicated processors and normal shader units. In theory, the hardware should be much more flexible and easier to use for developers. For example, in scenes that are heavily used for ray tracing, but not too graphically complicated, traditional shaders will support ray tracing cores, which should eliminate at least some of the performance problems.
It is worth noting at this point that it is only a patent describing a general concept - at this moment it is difficult to say whether AMD engineers will actually achieve the goal specified in this document. We will find out only in 2020, with the launch of the second generation of Navi graphics cards. Ray tracing is also to be supported by the chipsets that will be included in the next-gen consoles - the Xbox Scarlett and PS5. It cannot be ruled out that these machines will use some variant of this solution.

CS GO Added Battle Royale Mode
Initially, Valve developed Counter Strike as a modification (or mod) of the game titled Half Life, where gamers can play it for free. However, when Valve decided to update the game to Counter-Strike: Global Offensive (CS: GO), gamers were required to buy the game in order to play it.
Although it’s not too expensive, many feel this change is quite disappointing. Now that seems to be changing, because Valve has just announced, CS: GO can now be downloaded for free.
Without any requirements, gamers just open Valve’s digital game trading platform, Steam, on a PC or laptop and download CS: GO.
Then what is the fate of gamers who have long bought the game? The company claims, players who have purchased the game will be upgraded to Prime Status for free.
It is known, to go up to Prime Status, players must pay it for US $ 15 (which is equivalent to the selling price of the CS: GO game on Steam).
During Steam Summer Sale, Gamers cannot award CS: GO to other gamers. Furthermore, Valve also announced that it would launch the battle royale mode, the Danger Zone. In the battle royale mode, gamers will fight with 18 other CS: GO players to be the last survivors.
Interestingly enough, Valve finally adopted the battle royale mode, considering that the mode is able to make Fortnite and PUBG games very popular nowadays.
CS: GO players demand Valve facilitate illegal gambling in the game. Like other multiplayer games, gamers can play in the Danger Zone alone or in groups of two or three. If playing solo, gamers will be paired into the game along with 16 other people.
Meanwhile if you play with a group, you will be paired with a game with 18 other people. Currently there is only one map (map) available, namely Blacksite. Although not as wide as the map on Fortnite and PUBG, Valve guarantees that the map will be challenging for many players.
Since this battle royale mode is fairly new, there is still plenty of time to see whether CS: GO is able to compete or outperform the popularity of PUBG and Fortnite at this time. How, will you download and play the game in the battle royale mode?

Going Beyond the Straight and Narrow
A sliver of backyard space is transformed into a multifunctional outdoor living area By Anne Balogh
With every square inch serving a purpose, this terraced garden in Portland, Oregon, is an example of how good landscape design can maximize the livability of even the smallest of spaces. Designer Darcy Daniels of Bloomtown Gardens and contractor Tryon Creek Landscape were able to take advantage of changes in terrain to segment the narrow 65-foot-wide yard into different living areas to accommodate all the outdoor activities of a family of four.
The outdoor living room is a cozy retreat nestled among terraced garden beds. Replacing the boulders with slim retaining walls made of concrete and Cor-Ten steel allowed Daniels to maximize every square inch of space. Photo by: Darcy Daniels.
Before its transformation in 2013, the sloped backyard was a bare-bones “builder’s landscape,” with stacked boulders installed to act as a retaining wall and a grass lawn that failed to thrive due to a lack of sun and poor drainage. “Deciding to remove the boulders and start over from scratch was a pivotal decision and allowed us to consider a more effective and attractive approach for managing the slope and create beautiful and functional living spaces at the same time,” says Daniels. (See a SketchUp animation she created to help the homeowners get a sense of what their new garden would look and feel like.)
Dividing a garden, even when small, often has the paradoxical effect of making it seem larger. An elevated dining patio, tucked in the upper corner, is wrapped on two sides by raised garden beds framed by concrete walls, creating a cozy, enclosed space sheltered by an overhead canopy. A short flight of stairs leads down to an outdoor living room with deep, cushioned lounge chairs circling a freestanding fireplace. A floor of decorative concrete pavers occupies a spot previously relegated to the failing patch of lawn.
A short flight of stairs leads up to an outdoor dining terrace shaded by a canopy of trees. A trough-style fountain visible from the indoors provides enjoyment year-round. Photo by: Darcy Daniels.
Replacing the bulky stacked boulders with slim retaining walls made of poured concrete and Cor-Ten steel allowed space for terraced garden beds. The incline of the garden faces the home’s main living area, making it a focal point throughout the year. A rectangular fountain aligned with the window is a favorite attraction.
Because the entire garden is visible from all areas, the plantings were treated as one flowing composition. Selecting the plant palette for the site was challenging, since it goes from being shady in the winter to sunny and downright hot in the summer, though only for a few, intense midday hours. “The selected plants had to be able to adapt to these sun patterns of shade, shade, BLAST!” says Daniels. “Additionally, plants were chosen with an emphasis on achieving that magical and often elusive balance of high-impact, low-maintenance, and all-season good looks.”
Slow-growing, large-caliper shade trees were installed in key positions to lend maturity to the young garden and create an overhead canopy for the outdoor rooms. “By making the commitment and investment in larger trees appropriate to the space, we get the best of both worlds: stature and canopy early in the garden's development and a tree that will work in the space for many years without outgrowing its welcome,” says Daniels.
The plant palette was selected for all-season appeal. In spring, the dominant floral show is a hedge of Paeonia ‘Smith Opus 1' (Misaka™ Itoh peony). Photo by: Darcy Daniels.
Emphasis is on foliage and texture, but there’s plenty of color as well. A hedge of Paeonia ‘Smith Opus 1' (Misaka™ Itoh peony) is the dominant floral show in the spring. In summer, two rose varieties ('Julia Child' and 'Knock Out Red') provide long bloom times and are supplemented by Echinacea ‘Merlot’, Salvia ‘Caradonna’, and a number of other top-performing perennials. Yellow foliage was used to brighten up the shady spots, including yellow-leaved Acorus gramineus ‘Ogon’ (grassy-leaved sweet flag), Choisya ternate ‘Sundance’ (Sundance Mexican orange), and Fatsia japonica ‘Variegata’ (Camouflage™ variegated Japanese Aralia).
A fire-red Acer palmatum ‘Fireglow’ (Japanese maple) in the elevated beds is especially beautiful when backlit in the afternoon light. Photo by: Darcy Daniels.
The colors and textures of the hardscaping elements were also given much deliberation. “After considering other finishes for the concrete, we decided on a simple sponge trowel finish and it turned out to be totally right for the mix of materials we went with. The more rustic finish of the concrete was the perfect pairing with steel,” says Daniels. “For the TimberTech composite decking, which was used in areas that are quite shady, we chose a gray tone because of its lighter, reflective coloring.”
This project was one of eight gardens featured in the 2015 Association of Northwest Landscape Designers garden tour in June. Darcy Daniels is a Garden Designer at Bloomtown Gardens in Portland, Oregon and founder of eGardenGo, a web app for gardeners.
Before its transformation in 2013, this sloped backyard was a bare-bones “builder’s landscape,” with stacked boulders serving as a retaining wall, a small patch of lawn, and a postage-stamp sized patio. Photo by: Darcy Daniels.

Rough Rides in Dry Places
by Gaye Shortland (Poolbeg)
Irish Times: Sat, Dec 22, 2001
Gaye Shortland's debut novel*, Mind That 'tis My Brother, was of a pretty weird bent: so weird, that one might have thought she must be a gay man in literary drag. It was followed by another gay comedy set in Cork, Turtles All the Way Down then, swiftly, by three comic novels set in Africa, of which this is the latest. Turns out she isn't a gay man, but a woman with three children - who had the unusual experience of being married to a member of the Tuareg tribe of Saharan nomads. This gives her a well-rooted sense of the realities of desert life: marketplace etiquette, border protocols, and the shimmering deceptions of inter-cultural cross-currents. Reality, however, isn't really Gaye Shortland's bag. Her literary trademarks are lunacy and sex, and there are plenty of both in this ditzy, romp which sets a cast of lusty ex-pat academics (one of whom is, of course, rampantly gay) loose among the dunes. Think William Boyd's Our Man In Africa, only madder: preferably, though, don't think at all, just lie back and enjoy.
*Correction: The review originally said Gaye's debut novel was Turtles All The Way Down.

Tonya Kilmer, wife of missing person Ben Kilmer makes a plea to the public to continue looking for her missing husband at the RCMP Island District in Victoria (Arnold Lim/Black Press)
Ben Kilmer’s wife makes impassioned plea for missing husband
Police say the investigation continues for missing Vancouver Island man
Ragnar Haagen
Jul. 6, 2018 12:45 p.m.
Family members have not given up on the search for Ben Kilmer, a Vancouver Island man missing for nearly two months.
His wife Tonya gave an impassioned plea to the public on Friday afternoon in Victoria at the headquarters of the RCMP’s Island District.
“We are devastated. We are broken without this man. He is everything, the core of our family,” she said as tears flowed and her voice cracked.
“His love for us is unwavering. His devotion is unquestionable. His loss has shaken us to the core and I need our love to shake you also, so that no one remains silent, so that no amount of fear to come forward exists.”
The 41-year-old Kilmer was last seen May 16 in the Cowichan Valley, outside Duncan.

His work van was found alongside Lake Cowichan Road with its driver-side door open and the engine running.
Dozens of search parties, including members of the Cowichan, Ladysmith, Juan de Fuca, Nanaimo, Salt Spring island and Saanich Peninsula SAR groups combed the area for a week but Kilmer was never found. Friends and family continued their efforts for weeks after the official search was scaled back.

Now seven weeks later, no new information has been released and no new search parties have been organized, but family spokesperson has said they intent to “saturate Vancouver Island with posters with Ben’s face… It continues to be a very difficult time for the family.”
The timing of Kilmer’s disappearance had coincided with the same day that two men in Ucluelet were last seen alive, 37-year-old Dan Archbald and 43-year-old Ryan Daley. Their bodies were found late last month and authorities now say that case is being investigated as a double homicide.
However RCMP spokesperson Tammy Douglas said Friday there is nothing to indicate the two files are related in any way.

Officials continue to ask for help from the public in both cases, including those living in the 4000-block of Cowichan Lake Road to extensively check their rural properties, including out buildings and surrounding area. And if anyone was in the area at the time and may have dashcam footage they can share with police.

I used the services of Great Expectations for over two years and am so grateful for every session. My tutor helped me with everything from testing to the application process. My test scores improved dramatically in each section because GE helped me understand the nuances of the tests and how to attack each section in the way that best fit to my skills. In addition, the college application process felt so smooth with the help of my GE tutor. I was confident in my essays and knew that I was turning in the best applications I could. Overall, I would highly recommend the tutors at Great Expectations - not only do they teach you everything you need to know about the SAT, ACT, or college applications, but they develop a relationship with you filled with trust, kindness, and teamwork.
– Dallas M. (student), Brentwood
Best investment ever for my son! He wanted to go to a 4 year college and at risk of not getting in! Jennifer tutored him to achieve a great score on ACT and that helped him get into the college of his choice. She did all the work with him on the application process and helped us pick the most appropriate schools to apply. Today we are on a college tour of his first pick and thrilled he was accepted! We owe it all to Jennifer at Great Expectations. Thank you Jennifer. We are truly grateful and owe this accomplishment to you!
– Lisa G. (parent), Newport Beach
Great Expectations only hires a mere 1-2% of its applicants — our staff is made up of the most experienced, educated, friendly, and charismatic education experts out there.

Home Metamorphic Rocks
Contact Metamorphism
Metamorphic, Rocks 10:19 PM
Contact metamorphism is the name given to the changes that take place when magma is injected in the surrounding solid rock (country rock).
The changes that occur are greatest wherever the magma comes into contact with the rock because the temperatures are highest at this boundary and decrease with distance from it. Around the igneous rock that forms from the cooling magma is a metamorphosed zone called a contact metamorphism aureole.
Aureoles may show all degrees of metamorphism from the contact area to unmetamorphosed (unchanged) country rock some distance away. The formation of important ore minerals may occur by the process of metasomatism at or near the contact zone.
When a rock is contact altered by an igneous intrusion it very frequently becomes more indurated, and more coarsely crystalline. Many altered rocks of this type were formerly called hornstones, and the term hornfels is often used by geologists to signify those fine grained, compact, non-foliated products of contact metamorphism.
A shale may become a dark argillaceous hornfels, full of tiny plates of brownish biotite; a marl or impure limestone may change to a grey, yellow or greenish lime-silicate-hornfels or siliceous marble, tough and splintery, with abundant augite, garnet, wollastonite and other minerals in which calcite is an important component.
A diabase or andesite may become a diabase hornfels or andesite hornfels with development of new hornblende and biotite and a partial recrystallization of the original feldspar. Chert or flint may become a finely crystalline quartz rock; sandstones lose their clastic structure and are converted into a mosaic of small close-fitting grains of quartz in a metamorphic rock called quartzite.
If the rock was originally banded or foliated (as, for example, a laminated sandstone or a foliated calc-schist) this character may not be obliterated, and a banded hornfels is the product; fossils even may have their shapes preserved, though entirely recrystallized, and in many contact-altered lavas the vesicles are still visible, though their contents have usually entered into new combinations to form minerals that were not originally present.
The minute structures, however, disappear, often completely, if the thermal alteration is very profound. Thus small grains of quartz in a shale are lost or blend with the surrounding particles of clay, and the fine ground-mass of lavas is entirely reconstructed.
Magmatic fluids coming from the intrusive rock may also take part in the metamorphic reactions. An extensive addition of magmatic fluids can significantly modify the chemistry of the affected rocks. In this case the metamorphism grades into metasomatism.
If the intruded rock is rich in carbonate the result is a skarn. Fluorine-rich magmatic waters which leave a cooling granite may often form greisens within and adjacent to the contact of the granite. Metasomatic altered aureoles can localize the deposition of metallic ore minerals and thus are of economic interest.
A special type of contact metamorphism, associated with fossil fuel fires, is known as pyrometamorphism.

Chicxulub Commentary - Impact factor
Geoscientist Online 18 July 2007
Ted Nield with a cautionary tale of science, peer review, and Charlton Heston…
First, in 1980, came a Nobel Prize-winning physicist and his geologist son who found an end-Cretaceous iridium-rich layer in Italy that nobody else had noticed. They found it all over the world. Like stout Cortez and all his men, they made a truly wild surmise – and appeared to solve a great and abiding mystery. Dinosaurs had been killed off in a global apocalypse from outer space. Walter Alvarez described the theory in a popular book with a truly great title – T. rex and the Crater of Doom. Dinosaurs, amazingly, had got even sexier.
What was more, the public found it was being handed a "nuclear winter" scenario just as one was needed to counteract the Cold War, then re-igniting under Reagan and Thatcher. Carl Sagan, no less, made the connection. Nuclear war, amazingly, had become even deadlier.
Never was a science news story more exciting, better aimed, more timely, or backed by scientists and writers with higher credentials. Like all good stories, it kept moving on. Not long after the "nuclear winter" angle was played out, the crater of doom itself was, it seemed, finally located – at least 170km km across, and conveniently close to the USA, just offshore Yucatan in the Gulf of Mexico. Journalists and NSF fund managers learned how to spell Chicxulub.
A funding tsunami soon flooded in, driven by the possible dino-connection. CGI dinosaurs, looking furtively over their shoulders only to be blown away by shockwaves and broiling hypercanes, became a cliché of the documentary genre. Chicxulub even starred in a Hollywood film, Chuck Heston himself intoning his portentous voice-over for Armageddon (1998) - a disaster movie in every sense.
Not surprisingly, it stuck. Today, among the public, the "killer impact" theory is almost universally accepted as proven fact. It's something everyone knows, and everyone loves. And alas, like so many – perhaps all – those things that we believe because we want to, it's wrong.
That, at least, has been the contention of a small group of researchers led by Professor Gerta Keller (Princeton University), a stratigraphic palaeontologist and expert on the faunal changes at the K-T boundary. She, together with a small band of co-workers, has been doggedly throwing ugly little facts in the path of the Chicxulub juggernaut for years, and receiving, she says, scant thanks for her pains.
A proponent of the multi-cause hypothesis of end-Cretaceous extinction, she has never denied the reality of the Chicxulub impactor. Nor has she denied that it would have contributed towards making the late Maastrichtian a particularly nasty time to be alive. She merely challenged its status as the dino-nemesis – but that, for many, was the greater treason; for it was the dinosaur connection that constituted Chicx’s funding paydirt.
According to Keller, the impact happened too soon - one of a number of major hits that clustered about the K-T boundary, but 300,000 years too old to live up to the claims of those who believed they had found the “smoking gun”. Meanwhile, from more than 200 localities across the world, a database began to be built up that supported an alternate theory involving Deccan volcanism, climate change and (largely coincidental) impacts.
This was not, as we have come to say, “on message”.
“Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty—power is ever stealing from the many to the few…. The hand entrusted with power becomes … the necessary enemy of the people. Only by continual oversight can the democrat in office be prevented from hardening into a despot: only by unintermitted Agitation can a people be kept sufficiently awake to principle not to let liberty be smothered in material prosperity.”
Wendell Phillips (1811–84) Boston, Massachusetts, 28J anuary 1852. See “Speeches Before the Massachusetts Anti-Slavery Society”, p. 13 (1853).
Despite her distinguished credentials, Keller began to find difficulty in gaining a hearing at conferences; difficulty also in gaining access to certain peer-reviewed journals. Her uncomfortably off-message contributions, hitting the world of Chicxulub studies, turned its subject into an apt metaphor. That there were waves, goes without saying. The sulphur content of the academic atmosphere went up considerably. There was acid rain - and good deal of noxious falling-out.
The backwash even crossed the Atlantic and lapped around the feet of this reporter who, for having written about Keller’s work, attracted his small share of reflected glory. I knew things were serious when (at the end of a stabbing finger) I was told that I had done a disservice to science by giving the oxygen of publicity to “that bloody woman”. When a fellow member of the scientific sisterhood (for such it was) is moved to language of that sort, you know there’s something far more serious - or at least tangible - at stake than science. I got just a little whiff of the empire striking back. Apart from this, of course, the pursuit of science is always a completely disinterested and impartial quest, with nothing but nature as its yardstick and no concern for aught but truth.
Although I wrote that last sentence with an irony that I hope is evident, I do believe it is mostly true. But it can go wrong sometimes, and it is not a service to science to pretend it can’t. Peer review, the process that makes scientific publishing and funding “scientific”, is, like democracy, a “best worst” form of government; but no-one in their right minds would seriously suggest ditching it just because it has weaknesses. We should instead admit that sometimes, even the best organs of state can go bad. Eternal vigilance is supposed to be the price of liberty, and freedom of speech is the first casualty when we fail to exercise it. As in politics, so in life; and science is another part of life - something that people do.
And that, I am proud to say, is where the grey literature can come in (“grey literature” being what you are reading now). When peer review becomes oppressive because a dictatorial putsch has taken over not only the finance ministry but also state TV, only a fourth estate, free of official trammels, can still operate.
And then at last, the grubby grey knight gets his rare chance to ride to the rescue of his hero the white, tend his wounds, buff the mud from his greaves and set him back upon his noble steed…

Commercial sport drinks versus light meal combat rations: effect on simulated combat maneuvers.
Training & Performance
This study compared a light meal combat ration (LMCR) to specific commercial sport drinks (CSD) and the effect of their ingestion on time to exhaustion during simulated combat maneuvers (SCM). The SCM consisted of three activities: a 2-hour march at 50% of maximal aerobic capacity (VO2max); a subsequent 1-hour run at 70% VO2max; and a run to exhaustion at 80% VO2max. During SCM, the subjects consumed one of four different meals: three CSD (Ergo, Go Sports, and Gatorlode), and the LMCR. In addition, one SCM was conducted with half rations. Oxygen consumption, heart rate, and rating of perceived exertion were evaluated during each phase of the SCM. Time in minutes (mean ± SD) to exhaustion at 80% VO2max for Ergo (42.3 ± 8.9), Go Sports (39.4 ± 13.3), and Gatorlode (37.7 ± 8.6) was not significantly different from that for LMCR (36.4 ± 13.0) but was greater than that for half-LMCR (30.3 ± 9.3). O2 consumption, heart rate, and rating of perceived exertion were not affected by meal type but did increase over time for each stage of the SCM. We conclude that the amount of calories ingested was responsible for the differences noted in time to exhaustion. We further conclude that the CSD represent a readily available source of energy and fluid that could be used to replace and/or supplement the current LMCR.

Trade exchange between Ankara and Doha is expected to reach about $2bn by the end of this year, up from around $1.5bn in the first eight months of 2018, Turkish Deputy Minister of Trade Gonca Yilmaz Batur has said.
During the opening session of the International Products Exhibition and Conference (IPEC) in Doha on Monday, Batur called for deepening economic relations between Qatar and Turkey and promoting them towards having stronger and more resilient prospects.
She said this would positively affect the volume of trade exchange between the two countries, which had "already grown remarkably" and amounted to $1.3bn in 2017, driven by several bilateral agreements and partnerships. She pointed to a new agreement to be signed between Qatar and Turkey in December in this regard.
Batur praised the strategic ties between her country and Qatar that have been developed into a fraternal relationship, praising in this regard the $15bn investment package announced by Qatar.
She stressed that the two countries have developed a solid ground for promoting these investments to contribute to building a long-term economic relationship in various economic fields.
Batur highlighted Turkey's economic and investment advantages and noted that it had witnessed significant growth over the past 15 years. She added that Turkey has achieved growth rates over the past two years that are described as the biggest among the Group of 20 countries, following its launch of an economic programme based on stability, discipline and transformation.

Cosmetics In The Future
Last Updated on Sun, 16 Sep 2018 | Contact Dermatitis
The Japanese Government sets objectives to relax or abolish many of the current regulatory items in various industries. As a part of these plans, cosmetic deregulation has been progressing based on the government's policy to review current licensing systems and ingredient labeling controls [10]. A committee, which was organized on the basis of a plan drafted by the government, was commissioned in order to figure out how to bring about a deregulated domestic market and a harmonized international market [11]. On March 31, 1997 the future direction and issues to be addressed in connection with cosmetic regulations were set out by the committee in the form of an interim report [4]. The following is an outline that indicates the shift of the regulatory system to one based on the manufacturers' self-responsibility, basically similar to that of the European Union and the United States [4,10].
1. Ingredient substance controls: Recompilation of the Negative List, the Positive List, and the Existing List of Ingredient Substances in order to abolish the current premarketing licensing systems.
2. Licensing systems for companies manufacturing and importing cosmetics: Maintenance of current systems in principle, while establishing new quality-control systems and simplifying requirements for license approval.
3. Ingredients labeling control: Creation of regulations that force cosmetic manufactures and importing companies to include all ingredients on the label in order to give consumers sufficient information to help them evaluate and select the cosmetics.
4. Promotion of the appropriate uses of cosmetics, and collecting and releasing to the public information on the safety of cosmetics.
After investigation by the working group on the specific issues indicated by the interim report, the committee has issued a final report. The report is entitled ''How cosmetic regulations should be in the future'' and consists of three parts [4,5]; 1) background of discussions on cosmetic regulation, 2) desired future regulations and specific handling procedure, and 3) issues remaining to be addressed.
The main points of the second part (desired future regulations and specific handling procedure) are as follows:
(1) Ingredient Control. It is appropriate to control the use of the ingredients through a list of prohibited and restricted ingredients (Negative List), and by doing so to abolish the approval system by category, as well as to control specific ingre-
Development of a new ingredient or introduction of a product containing a new ingredient
Verification [collection and examination of information! by the company manufacturing (or importing) the product (or raw material) •Verification of its applicability to the Positive List •Verification of Its applicability to the Negative List or Restricted List -Application for name to be used in labeling (naming review committee of the industry association) ^
Specification of the ingredient and decision on the name to be used for labeling, followed by placement on the existing ingredient list
(Positive List ingredients)
(Nonpositive List ingredients)
Request to have the Product can be marketed ingredient listed on the -Label indicating all
Positive List the ingredierts
•Attach safety data documents
Acquisition of new information pertaining to safety of the ingredient used (companies and administration)
^(Ingredients requiring review on whether to place on Negative List or Restricted List)
Submission of safety data documents, etc.

dient groups (preservatives, UV absorbents, coal tar colors) that require cautious handling under appropriate safety evaluation, by drawing up a list of ingredients that may be used in formulations (Positive List). As for the new ingredients, the procedure for introducing them shall be as indicated on the flow chart shown in Figure 1 [4,5].
(2) Licensing System. A manufacturing or importing licensing system should be maintained.
(3) Regulations on Ingredient Labeling. As it is important to provide adequate information to consumers to facilitate their selection and verification of a product, in principle an ''all-ingredient labeling system'' shall be adopted for ingredients used in formulations.
(4) Cosmetic information, etc.
The MHW is now studying the possibility of amending the law and regulations in order to implement the new system by fiscal year 2000 according to the final report.

During November 2015 the Scottish Parliament recognised the tremendous contribution moorland management by gamekeepers and land managers makes as they do their bit to support and enhance habitat and wildlife species.
Graeme Dey MSP hosted a reception at the Parliament to celebrate diversity through grouse moor management and an audience of MSPs, industry figures and the media had an opportunity to hear and see first-hand the conservation work being carried out on a daily basis.
As part of the Gift of Grouse campaign, the reception was presented with a short film focusing on the work done on Invermark and Glenturret Estates as well as the findings of a study carried out by German scientists on Glenogil estate.
The work undertaken by the likes of Garry MacLennan, Head Keeper at Invermark Estate, is compelling testimony to the range of benefits delivered by high quality, integrated moorland management.
The survey conducted on Invermark by the upland ecologists from Taylor Wildlife to identify and catalogue moorland bird species makes truly impressive reading. No fewer than 81 different bird species either breeding or feeding where counted on the estate.
A wide range of ‘red-listed’ most at risk birds were found to be thriving, including 32 breeding pairs of Dunlin. There were also 68 breeding pairs of Golden Plover, not to mention 8 pairs of breeding waders.
Raptors too, 10 species were reported including Merlin, Peregrine, Golden Eagle, White-tailed Eagle, Hen Harrier and the Short-eared Owl which puts into context the too-often polarised debate about the presence of raptors on grouse moors.
The figures from Glenogil and Glenturret were equally striking. The German scientists found 63 different species of birds at Glenogil, including a burgeoning black grouse population, leading the researchers to describe Glenogil as a ‘best practice’ area for black grouse management.
At Glenturret, scientists reported two breeding attempts by hen harriers as they recorded 61 different species on their ground.
The reports from these estates are emblematic of what is happening on grouse moors across Scotland and demonstrate the tremendous contribution moorland management is making to species conservation.

The 99% And Revolution

There is no doubt the level of unrest across the globe is escalating, as unregulated Capitalism becomes more abusive of people and this planet in its ceaseless quest for power and profit.
Greed and corruption have instigated uprisings in the Arab world that have overthrown a succession of governments. In Europe massive street protests have unsettled the ruling classes in Turkey, Portugal, Greece, Spain, Ukraine and let’s not forget that supposed doyen of democracy, The United States of America.
Indeed, a recent poll by Real Clear Politics found that 63% of Americans are seriously dissatisfied with how their country is being governed for a third consecutive year, placing government credibility at an 8-year low.
This 8-year deterioration has been covered up with government propaganda, no more no less, as the abuses of the people continues and a watershed is fast approaching, in my opinion. The support for corporations over electors is becoming more obvious, enslaving people in vast tranches of debt and no signs of increasing employment opportunities with which to repay that increasing debt – a situation reflected around the world.
Global levels of discontent are high as this common abuse grows and anger is mounting. Here we get to the nuts and bolts of revolution, as people feel increasingly abused and frustrated by the lack of support provided by their elected representatives.
Whilst we are in a whole new technological era, that is rapidly bringing our species together for the first time in our history, the common denominator for this unrest remains what it has always been. The collapse of bankrupt ruling belief systems that rely on suppression and control rather than involvement and encouragement.
21st century suppression now takes the shape of increasingly invasive surveillance and the gradual arming of security and police forces in anticipation of revolt. Edward Snowden made us fully aware of the abusive nature of this surveillance and here we find an interesting spotlight on how frightened the ruling classes are now becoming.
He was able to show us that in America everyone in high office, from the President to the Director of National Intelligence, had lied to the peoples elected Congress and the people themselves about the surveillance of Americans. Governments around the world also reeled in shock and horror when they discovered their phones were being tapped! His was an act of the highest moral integrity, which put him in hiding from his own government as they sought to shut him up.
Here we see evidence of the State apparatus in all its grisly reality, as it tried to manipulate popular opinion and divided Americans on whether Snowden was a hero or a traitor. The sacrifices he made, to make us aware, were fudged by the corporate media and excitable prose used to incite hatred towards a man who had acted with the highest of moral integrity, on a par with Mandela, Luther King and Mother Teresa.
Over the ensuing years, as the truth has become clear, the weighting in favour of Snowdens actions has increased as the popularity of governments has reduced. The 99% are no longer an illiterate rabble. Indeed, many of the younger members have benefitted from an expensive education they cannot now repay! Their growing question is “What is the point of handing our power over to people we have elected to manage our Society, when that Society is no longer of concern to them?”
In this dire situation government thinking (something just as outmoded as our traditional religious beliefs today), is to anticipate social insurrection and prepare for forceful suppression by martial law. This aggressive and undemocratic action follows the identical persecution of Edward Snowden. It’s reasoning is simple . . . the unaccountable power of government is under threat and that power must be preserved at all costs.
The arming of security forces is not in anticipation of conflict but rather a means by which to ensure conflict and justify repression! Ghandi showed how non-violent protest was able to take a whole sub-continent away from the British Empire. Nelson Mandela repeated this strategy, avoiding what was anticipated as a certain bloodbath in South Africa after decades of inhuman apartheid.
If you have peaceful protest, attention is not diverted from your demands and respect is earned by the security forces there to police your actions. If you resort to violence, respect is lost and retaliation and violence destroy the authenticity of the demonstration.
Isn’t it interesting how large demonstrations are quickly stifled when a few commit acts of violence and destruction. With Snowdens revelations still ringing in my ears I become more cynical about who sponsors those few hooded protagonists, whose actions bring a powerful demonstration quickly to a close through supposedly “necessary policing actions to preserve social order”.
Successful revolution has always been achieved when the men and women of the security forces can see that the revolution has values that are common to them as well and they throw in their lot with the abused. Government then loses its ultimate power over the people and change takes place.
But not all is plain sailing as history has shown us. If the revolutionary leaders are just after the power and using the people as the tool with which to get it, Society has come out of the frying pan and straight into the fire. Ask the Russians!
I am convinced we are moving ever closer to global insurrection because the abuses of the rich and powerful are becoming wholly intolerable. In the end we are an evolved Society with a higher self-esteem than even just 100 years ago. Our intelligence and vastly increased ability to share and compare our experiences across the globe is uniting us in a global contempt for the abuses of the rich and powerful.
New technology is changing forever how we live Life on Planet Earth. Corporate sponsored government uses it to support their outmoded ways of suppression and control, whilst it liberates and empowers the 99% to fight the clever fight of an enlightened species.
Awareness breeds understanding and understanding breeds change. QED!
Until the next time

The 99% ARE The ‘Elite’

Greed is effectively the fear that exists within corporations,
governments and the very rich. It is a fear that
humanity will succeed without them. — Capt. James Welberry
I have always been absent-minded. Indeed, my son enjoys telling our friends how I once took him and his fiancé for a pub lunch in my carpet slippers! As the years roll by there has come a point where I question whether my memory lapse is turning into something more worrying.
As my concerns turned to action I suddenly realised what a fantastic collection of people Society comprises and how we take ourselves so much for granted. Here am I concerned about my health and able to go to a service that has thousands of experts, with all the latest medical skills, all of whom are readily available to us.
It is the thinking and concerns of the collective that bring these support services into being. One individual, or small group, may be the driving force for their manifestation but it is with the collective effort and support of the majority that they take shape and are maintained.
This goes for all of our support services, from education to social services, pensions to wider care for the elderly. It is the result of evolution nurturing a collective effort of care and concern about how we, as a species, can best cope with the constant challenges that Life sends us.
If we look at this from a broader perspective, there is a balance within Society that is directly attributable to the variety of those services. It reflects our differing needs and the acceptance by the majority that we all share the same challenges. Our commitment is such that we raise taxes to finance them and accept the payment of those taxes for that very purpose. (The political abuses of that money is for another day!)
It is when the needs of the few are manipulated upon Society that the problems of abuse and imbalance occur. Throughout our history the primary abuse has come from the lust for power and greed by the few, inflicting untold hardship upon the many.
To start with this abuse is tolerated but with this toleration the abuse escalates through the creation of vast Empires of power, be they sovereign or corporate, until they manifest such barbaric behaviour that the majority revolt and seek a rebalancing of Society.
This happened to the great Empires of Ancient Greece, The Roman Empire and all the way up to recent times with the French and Russian Revolutions. All power feeds the human fallibility to abuse, which then has to be contained and destroyed, only then to manifest again in some new shape and form.
In this 21st century the narrow demands of the few are once again inflicting untold damage upon the greater Society but this time not with armies and violent conflict, as has been the case in the past. This time it is with far more devastating effect through the exercise of financial power and the enslavement of Society in debt and corrupted financial systems that threaten our future survival.
Control of the money supply, now created out of thin air, is increasingly withheld from the majority. Instead it is directed to friends in high places, enabling the rich and powerful to further corrupt both the financial and political systems for gain. The primary responsibility of the latter being to regulate the excessive behaviour of the few, by oversight and legislation, to maintain a healthy and balanced Society.
Increasingly alienated by the growing abuses of the few, mistakenly referred to as ‘The Elite’, Society is having to turn to its own resources.
The powerful are aware of this and so they repeat the mistakes of the past by becoming more domineering and suppressive in their handling of Society. By this very stupidity they fuel the flames of revolt, through an arrogant and insulated belief in their own omnipotence . . . and of course they are not!
Revolution is an interesting aspect of Society and can take decades to mature before bursting into action. Nobody can predict when this will happen but when it does its speed and ferocity is quite breath-taking in the release of pent up frustration.
(If you want to read an excellent in depth study on this subject I can thoroughly recommend Chris Hedges “Wages of Rebellion” which has been the inspiration for this piece and many more to come I suspect. http://tinyurl.com/jemnn6a .)
History supports my belief that the majority, in the shape of Society, keep our species in balance over the long term to ensure our very survival. Frustrating and worrying as it seems in times of crisis, such as the growing financialisation of Life now taking place, there is much anger and agitation now erupting across the planet.
What has changed from the past is that the abuse is no longer contained within a sovereign state or country but has become global. As the powerful continue to pursue the myth of global domination, which has previously eluded them, they are convinced they are now closer to it than ever before.
Sadly, they lose sight of the anger and determination that is now uniting people, also globally, which will return us to balance as it has in the past. Social media is just one of the many new globally empowering tools now used by the majority in fighting media propaganda and supporting people driven initiatives, like the Occupy movement and the Arab Spring.
Because the corporate media do not cover them it does not mean these initiatives are obsolete, far from it. Indeed, we heard only last week of huge suppression being attempted in Egypt to contain the 5th anniversary of that uprising.
In Mexico last year Pedro Kumamoto became the country’s first elected MP who was not a member of a political party. His actions emerged from Mexico’s version of Occupy Wall Street, intent upon growing political power whilst maintaining complete autonomy from governments. Occupy has spawned many such initiatives with its now global reach.
Nearly 3.5 million people have signed a European Citizens’ Initiative to end the negotiations involved in launching the sinister and democracy smashing TTIP trade deal.
People are awake, getting angrier and doing something about it!
Society and the 99% ARE The ‘Elite’. They are the balancing energy that automatically comes into play through their sheer diversity of beliefs and needs, empowered by their overwhelming numbers. The few know this and hence their more extreme behaviour, which is adding to their own downfall.
Awareness breeds understanding and understanding breeds change through rebellion. Exciting times my friends.

China Dumps US Dollar Denominated Debt: Bank of China flees Fannie-Freddie
Global Research, August 29, 2008
Financial Times 29 August 2008
https://www.globalresearch.ca/china-dumps-us-dollar-denominated-debt-bank-of-china-flees-fannie-freddie/9999
By Saskia Scholtes in New York and James Politi in Washington
August 28 2008 23:33 | Last updated: August 28 2008 23:33
Bank of China has cut its portfolio of securities issued or guaranteed by troubled US mortgage financiers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac by a quarter since the end of June.
The sale by China’s fourth largest commercial bank, which reduced its holdings of so-called agency debt by $4.6bn, is a sign of nervousness among foreign buyers of Fannie and Freddie’s bonds and guaranteed securities.over the mortgage financiers’ capital positions and the timing and structure of a potential government rescue has made some investors reassess their exposures. Asian investors in particular have become net sellers of agency debt, said analysts.
Federal Reserve custody data shows that for the year to July, foreign official and private investors bought an average of $20bn of agency debt a month, including debt issued by other government agencies such as Ginnie Mae and the Federal Home Loan Banks. Purchases of US Treasuries averaged $9.25bn.
From July 16 to August 20, foreign investors sold $14.7bn of agency debt, trimming their overall holdings to $972bn. They purchased $71.1bn of Treasuries in the same period.
The US Treasury was granted powers last month to extend its credit lines to Fannie and Freddie and invest in their debt and equity. The rescue plan came after a collapse in the companies’ shares heightened concerns about their ability to raise equity capital to cushion losses and whether they could maintain their access to the debt markets.
By making a historically implicit government guarantee for the mortgage financiers’ debt increasingly explicit, the Treasury sought to reassure foreign and domestic investors by providing a safety net. Fannie and Freddie have a combined $1,500bn of debt outstanding.
This weekend, the Group of Twenty developed and advanced developing countries will be holding a preparatory meeting in Brazil. Although the crisis at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac is not on the agenda, there is speculation that Treasury officials could informally encourage big holders of agency debt and mortgage-backed securities not to scale back their investments.
After a sharp drop in the market value of their stock last week, Fannie and Freddie have made a strong recovery after successful short-term debt sales. Fannie was 13.5 per cent higher on Thursday and Freddie was up 12 per cent.
Bank of China’s disclosure on its holdings of Fannie and Freddie securities came as the bank reported a 15 per cent increase in second-quarter profit.

The Cook, the Hunter, the Whales & their Watchers
Whale watchers and whale hunters intermingle in the waters off Reykjavík, Iceland. Can they coexist?
by Steve De Neef and Gord More
October 5, 2015 | 5 min
In the bay off Reykjavík, Iceland, commercial whaling meets commercial whale watching. Whaling vessels—sometimes with dead whales strapped to their sides—and tourist-laden whale-watching ships travel the same waters, occasionally at the same time.
The fin whale meat is exported to Japan, while the minke whale meat supplies the domestic seafood market. But how popular is a traditional dish of minke carpaccio or grilled minke with horseradish and mushrooms? Not very. At least with the locals. Some polls say fewer than five percent of Icelanders eat whale meat. So who is eating it?

Yankees score twice in 8th off Kluber, top Indians 7-4
Yankees sc...
CLEVELAND (AP) – Aaron Hicks drove home Didi Gregorius from first base with a one-out double in the eighth inning off Cleveland ace Corey Kluber, sending the New York Yankees to a 7-4 win over the Indians on Thursday night.
Hicks drove a 3-2 pitch from Kluber (12-5) to deep center field, and Gregorius scored easily when the ball one-hopped the wall. Indians manager Terry Francona elected to stay with Kluber in the eighth rather than turn things over to his shaky bullpen, which has the AL's highest ERA.
The Yankees added another run in the inning on Greg Bird's sacrifice fly off Oliver Perez.
Brett Gardner homered twice and Gregorius also connected for the Yankees, playing at Progressive Field for the first time since last October, when they overcame a 2-0 deficit and won the AL Division Series.
New York's Adam Warren, David Robertson (6-3), Dellin Betances and All-Star closer Aroldis Chapman combined for four hitless innings. Chapman got three outs for his 25th save – in his first appearance since Sunday because of a sore left knee.
Jose Ramirez and Edwin Encarnacion homered off Yankees starter Luis Severino, who lasted five innings and was denied his major league-leading 15th win.
The marquee matchup between Kluber and Severino – two of baseball's top pitchers – had everyone excited.
"This is one of those games where if I wasn't a manager, I'd come watch the game," Francona quipped beforehand.
But neither Kluber nor Severino brought their 'A' games. The All-Stars each gave up two homers, both were hit harder than expected and they were forced to pitch out of trouble throughout their stints.
Severino allowed four runs and nine hits in five innings and recorded just one strikeout, a season low and his fewest since 2016.
Kluber, who lost the decisive Game 5 to the Yankees last October while battling a stiff lower back, was at 100 pitches to start the eighth, but Francona stuck with him anyway. He walked Gregorius on four pitches to start the inning, and then gave up the
Kluber, who lost the decisive Game 5 to the Yankees last October while battling a stiff lower back, was at 100 pitches to start the eighth, but Francona stuck with him anyway. He walked Gregorius on four pitches to start the inning, and then gave up the double to Hicks, who was just 3 for 25 in his career against the right-hander.
Ramirez connected for his fourth homer in three games to tie it 4-all in the fifth. The 25-year-old lined a 1-0 pitch over the wall in right for his 28th homer, breaking Albert Belle's club record for the most before the All-Star break.
Gregorius, who homered twice off Kluber in Game 5 of the Division Series, connected in the third to tie it 3-3. He belted a 1-1 pitch 430 feet for his 16th homer, and the Yankees took the lead on Bird's RBI double.
Encarnacion connected for his 21st homer in the first to give the Indians a quick 2-0 lead a
Encarnacion connected for his 21st homer in the first to give the Indians a quick 2-0 lead against Severino, who came having allowed just eight homers in 123 1/3 innings this season.
TRAINER'S ROOM
Yankees: C Gary Sanchez (strained right groin) could begin a minor league rehab assignment Sunday. Sanchez, who has been out since June 25, has been doing hitting, catching and agility drills.
Indians: LHP Andrew Miller will pitch batting practice to hitters Saturday at Double-A Akron, the next step in his comeback from knee inflammation that has sidelined the elite reliever since May 26. Miller said he expects to pitch in a "handful of minor league games" before he's activated. "When you've missed as many games as I have, you really don't have a choice," he said. "It's just a necessary evil I guess, and in reality I'm excited to go pitch."
A pair of rookies square off as Cleveland's Shane Bieber (4-1) gets his first career start against the Yankees – or any AL East team – on Friday versus New York's Domingo German (2-4), who had a season-high 10 strikeouts on June 14 against Tampa Bay.

VANCOUVER — Mayors from 13 cities across Canada are calling for a national standard on the collection and sharing of data on overdose deaths along with medical treatment for addiction.
A task force they created has released its initial recommendations to the federal government as British Columbia marks a year since declaring a public health emergency over soaring overdose fatalities.
The cities represented include Vancouver, Surrey, B.C., Edmonton, Calgary, Regina, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Montreal, and the Ontario cities of Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, London and Kitchener.
"Fentanyl is the leading cause of drug overdose death in one third of the Canadian cities represented by the task force, but there are huge challenges in collecting and accessing basic data, let alone ample and timely access to addictions treatment and care," said Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson, who chairs the group.
Only Vancouver and Surrey receive monthly overdose data from local health authorities, the task force said in a news release.
It said just six of the cities — Vancouver, Surrey, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Montreal — have access to the most recent information, from last year.
"We need a strong national response to fix this data problem and scale up an immediate increase in medical solutions to save lives," Robertson said.
"The glaring gaps in drug overdose data mask the seriousness of the fentanyl crisis and are a dangerous barrier to addressing the horrific overdose death toll impacting families across Canada."
Robertson also called for addiction treatment with medications, such as the painkiller hydromorphone or injectable heroin.
The Crosstown clinic in Vancouver is the only facility in North America to offer such treatment for people who have not succeeded in combating their addiction through other methods.
Task force members have met with the federal ministers of health and public safety to discuss the need for standardized data collection, the release said.
"We can't end this crisis without clear data on what's happening on the ground and involving cities is the solution," Robertson said.
