The Scotsman had been president of studio Rockstar North, and it’s widely perceived that he had been instrumental in the success of the GTA series, as during his tenure Rockstar put out games like GTA III, GTA IV and the 2010 action game set in the Wild West Red Dead Redemption. All was well and good it seemed, and that Rockstar and Benzies had put an end to their relationship in a cordial and amicable way. But it turns out that wasn’t the case at all, and in a shocking turn of events, Leslie Benzies has now sued Rockstar for $150 million (£105 million). And his description of events differs from Rockstars’ and parent company Take-Two, with Benzies claiming that he was literally forced out of the company when he returned from his sabbatical in April 2015. Not only couldn’t he access the Rockstar North building in Edinburgh upon his return, but was even “ordered to leave” by a Rockstar manager according to a statement issued by his legal team. Leslie Benzies did not leave Rockstar on good terms it seems, and has now sued the company for a whopping $150 million… And if those events are true then it stands to reason that Benzies has a right to feel bitter about his former employer, but Rockstar and Take-Two are holding their ground and going on the offensive, counter-suing him and stating that they have “no further financial obligations” to Benzies, according to gaming website PC Gamer. Also, Rockstar did not have very nice things to say about the former Rockstar North president in their statement about the matter, even stating that Benzies departure was related to “his significant performance and conduct issues” and that he supposedly took personal credit for “the tremendous efforts of the entire Rockstar team”. In the end though, this is a sad state of affairs and a shocking development in a case involving what is no doubt is one of the biggest and most respected video game companies out there. Because Rockstar gave us the legendary GTA series of video games, and it is clear that ex-Rockstar man Leslie Benzies had a part in the series’ conception, even if he has fallen out with Rockstar in this fashion. So hopefully things will turn out well, with both parties settling their differences, and Rockstar still delivering great games in the future. SOURCE: Steam. COPYRIGHT: Rockstar Games.

Project Leadbeater’s Videos Bushfire Images Logging Media How to make money from trees without cutting them down AdminX16 Biodiversity, Climate Change, Endangered Species, Forest Carbon, Habitat Protection, Native Forest Campaign Paddy Manning. April 23, 2011 http://www.theage.com.au/business/how-to-make-money-from-trees-without-cutting-them-down-20110422-1drho.html REDD Forests, a little company 20 per cent owned by Kathmandu founder Jan Cameron, is proving that threatened native forest in Tasmania can have more value standing than if it was logged, by generating carbon credits. Next week, the first 55,549 verified carbon units approved in this country – each representing a tonne of greenhouse gas emissions saved – will pop up on a register maintained by the Washington-based Verified Carbon Standard. The units would be worth about $700,000 at current market prices of about $15 each, because VCS withholds 15 per cent of the units to cover risks including fire, pest and the chance that some owners will log the forest at the end of the 25-year project. The units are owned by Peter Downie, a sixth-generation cattle and sheep farmer from the Central Highlands, who for the past 40 years has also logged his private native forest for sawlogs and woodchip – much of it sold to forestry giant Gunns. Downie paid $130,000 to REDD Forests to generate the VCUs by analysing and monitoring the carbon to be stored on 7666 hectares of his own land, which otherwise would have been selectively logged or converted to pasture. It’s not the highest conservation value forest on his property – that’s already protected by a voluntary covenant, part-funded by the federal government. But the forest stores carbon nonetheless and, purely by fluke, the value of a tonne of carbon is about the same as the price of a tonne of woodchips. “It’s pretty much line ball,” Downie told GBiz, but that’s for now. He reckons the value of a tonne of carbon is going to rise significantly, unlike a tonne of woodchips. For the first few years Downie will sit tight as he collects his VCUs – they will roll in each year, after a validator checks that his forest is standing. At the end of 25 years, he could choose to log his forest completely – even after pocketing the VCUs generated over that period – and get a premium for the mature eucalypt timber (he’s got Forest Stewardship Council certification for that). But for now his plan is only to harvest the forest growth that occurs after the project finishes. You would expect Downie to be enthusiastic about REDD Forests – he was impressed enough with the business model to buy into the company and is now on the board. But, with the federal government’s Carbon Farming Initiative starting in July and VCUs likely to be saleable under the National Carbon Offset Standard, it is easy to see the potential contribution such carbon credits could make to tackling climate change. REDD Forests managing director Stephen Dickey believes the model could be rolled out nationally – even to include public land. VCUs generated here should attract a market premium, he says, because they are “risk-free … this is Australia doing it, not the Congo”. GetUp! campaigns director Paul Oosting, who until recently was closely involved in Tasmania’s forest negotiations and helped steer the Gunns campaign for the Wilderness Society, says carbon credits could help save much of the private native forest around Australia. The threshold for proving that the forest is threatened, he says, is not onerous. Inclusion of land in a regional forest agreement, for example, would be enough: “You just need to demonstrate the possibility of logging.” Oosting says conservation of private native forest is often neglected. “Typically it’s much more difficult because obviously the government isn’t going to wade in and stop farmers and landholders doing what they want on their land. “Money has been available to put covenants on property but that doesn’t really appeal to farmers and landholders whereas this approach provides another income stream.” Over the past two years Stephen Dickey has brokered six similar deals in Tasmania covering 22,000 hectares. This week he was close to inking a seventh, taking the total to 25,000 hectares. His aim is to get 150,000 hectares of native forest under management by the end of 2012. That will save an estimated 1 million tonnes of greenhouse gas a year, roughly equivalent to the annual emissions of more than 75,000 homes. After almost four years slogging away, it’s only in the past month that Dickey and his team have been able to start selling VCUs, and earning commission. “It’s an arbitrage between the price of pulp and the price of carbon,” he says. “All we ever do is take the merchantable volume of timber they would take off their land, based on historical logging patterns, and we generate the equivalent carbon credits for that. “You can manage it, you can thin it. The only thing you can’t do is log it. We can say to the farmer, ‘hold on to your asset, let it grow into a really valuable hardwood timber’.” Downie sees carbon credits ushering in a new phase of the forests debate – which has shifted from rampant exploitation to locking forest up. Next up, he says, we’ll see a shift from green to ”orange … you harvest from natural resources but ensure your productive base and ecological base is maintained or improved. “The green agenda has been presented as the be-all and end-all but it’s just a stepping stone. “Forests can create enormous wealth. The argument should be not whether you harvest native forest or not but how you do it. A well-harvested native forest is superior to a plantation.” 2 Replies to "How to make money from trees without cutting them down" rod pearce July 26, 2011 (6:31 pm) we have 620 acres of native forest which is”well- havested native forest” . Would like to find out more info on carbon credits. Hi Rod, I would try the DSE and ask them what are the latest programs in place in Victoria for private landowners to claim the value of the carbon in the forests being protected on private land. Try this link for starters. These type of programs are pretty dynamic at the moment as the carbon issue is changing quickly. http://www.dse.vic.gov.au/conservation-and-environment/climate-change/victorian-climate-change-act-2010/carbon-sequestration-rights-on-private-and-crown-land FLBP.

The camera has evidently caught him thinking of his native Taiga, the Siberian tundra which forms the idyllic background to the novel. In fact, the background of Wild Berries, which is not the best ordered of narratives, rather usurps the foreground, and for much of its length the novel reads like over-the-top Intourist travel literature, aimed at rehabilitating a region associated in the foreign mind (at least) with exile, sub-zero temperatures and days in the life of Soviet dissidents. A Siberian snow job, one might call it. The pastoral tones of Yevtushenko’s novel, pitched between the buffoonery of peasant comedy and full-blooded romantic lyricism, have not always translated well. Early in the narrative, there is a riverside meeting between a Siberian maiden and a geologist tapping away on the bank. On comes a convenient thunderstorm, and a convenient haystack is nearby. Prior to giving herself to the stranger, the girl dances naked in the downpour and the effects Yevtushenko intends have some difficulty in crossing the linguistic border: ‘The storm embraced Ksiuta with its wet, warm arms, showering her with thousands of greedy, rough kisses, blinding her with the white zigzag explosions of uncountable lightning bolts, deafening her with ear-splitting rolls of thunder ... Then already hopelessly soaked, she stood up straight, offering her body to the powerful surge of water. For an instant the thought crossed her mind to run wherever her feet took her, away from the man who was waiting for her in the green cave [of the haystack], but she knew she wouldn’t.’ And so, a virgin from a virgin land, she gives herself to the Muscovite, whose child she bears. One can see what’s meant here – technology embracing the new frontier, and so on. But as it comes off the page, the rhapsody, like other flights in the novel, is both flat and overwritten. Presumably it rolls with fine mimetic thunder in the original Russian. More successful is the pastoral’s Perdita episode, handled with earthy comedy and unflinching sentimentality, in which the horny-handed Commissioner of Berries (Soviet bureaucracy apparently provides for such a post) discovers his long-lost (bastard) daughter, in the person of the macho, surgical-alcohol-swigging doctor who treats him for a kidney stone. As one of his many book titles proclaims, Yevtushenko is ‘of Siberian stock’. But he is also the Soviet Union’s most internationally famous writer. Wild Berries’ meandering narrative allows him a few (immodest) reflections on the making of his own brilliant career, and the cosmopolitan maturity which has sprung from his deep provincial roots. A section of the novel (taking off from the babbling of a transistor’s newscast) transports us to Allende’s Presidential palace, a month before his CIA-engineered downfall. Another excursion swings to a rock concert by ‘the Tails’ in Hawaii. As he walks by the shore, after the show, the lead guitarist forgets all the tinsel around him, and remembers ‘that white night in Leningrad, when ... a Russian boy read his poetry, chopping the air with his hand’. The Russian boy is transparently Yevtushenko, whose public readings put him, he thinks, in the same league as the West’s pop superstars. Wild Berries is bracketed within a portentous prologue and epilogue. It opens with a Siberian astronaut, wheeling in his space capsule over the planet, thinking, among other patriotic and philanthropic things, about his beloved Taiga. This moves to a pen portrait of Gagarin, and relates, as evidence of the pioneer cosmonaut’s humanity, an act of kindness to a certain young poet (can it be ... yes, it was). The epilogue goes back in time to the pre-Revolutionary period and the philosopher Tsiolkovsky, whom Yevtushenko hails as the spiritual father of manned space research. Tsiolkovsky evidently promulgated a vitalist pseudo-religion, in which space travel was to be man’s final transcendence of the material universe. Space capsule and wild Siberian berry fuse into a single life-enhancing image. Wild Berries tells how a team of scientists have come into the Taiga, to prospect for ‘cassiterite’ – a mineral which, one understands, is required for the advancement of Soviet science and civilisation. Under the leadership of Viktor (he of the haystack) an epic battle develops between the men of science and nature, embodied in the Taiga. Viktor is hard and unyielding, but confrontation with the harder forces of Siberia eventually mellows him. A weak, treacherous member of the expedition is deservedly killed by a bear. Two other members (one a hunchback) find love. The team discover the precious cassiterite only at the peril of their own lives. Yevtushenko appears to be a novice in fiction. But, as in his poetry, he is masterful at judging how close to the precipice he can go in his social criticism. A novel about post-Revolutionary Siberia has to confront, or timorously evade, the anti-Kulak programme. Yevtushenko gives it three or four pages early in his narrative, implying that the Kulaks mainly died of homesickness when they were transplanted with all humanity into new villages. No mention is made of Stalin. Other digressions criticise contemporary Soviet society. There is routine denunciation of the corrupting effects of jeans, stereos and Marlboros on Russian youth, some satire on the sterility of Moscow literary life, and moderate anger vented at the unfairness of hard-currency shops which tantalisingly display what the native Russian may not buy. The sum total of Yevtushenko’s ‘criticism’, however, is that the Soviet Union hasn’t quite got its act together yet. As one approved character puts it: Why do we still have lines [queues]? Because we’re poor? Ludicrous ... No country is richer than ours. But take a look into our railroad stations: they’re mobbed, people sleeping there, piled up on one other ... When will we get organised like normal people? Vassily Aksyonov has plunged headlong over the precipice on which his fellow Russian treads so carefully. A best-selling, but imprudent chronicler of the Russian alternative culture, he defected to the US in 1980, taking, as the Literary Gazette put it, ‘the path of betrayal’. Aksyonov is now Time’s favourite Russian novelist. According to their profile of him, he lives in Washington, jogs four miles a day, and greatly admires the Jefferson memorial. The Burn, which is proclaimed his masterwork, was written over the period 1969-75, but never published in the USSR. It’s hard to see how it ever could have been. The novel (evidently composed as an angry private journal) is a fantasia on the theme of the lost hopes of the author’s generation: the young Russians who grew up with Khrushchev’s denunciation of Stalin, who were elated by the Thaw, then crushed by the 1968 Prague invasion and the return of the ice age. The Burn’s appearance in the West has not been smooth. It was published in Italy in 1980, but has proved difficult to translate into English (much of the dialogue and authorial monologue is hip Moscow street talk) and there have been hitches with American publishers. The delay has cost Aksyonov dear, in that the work has failed to benefit from the immediate publicity of his defection. When he still lived in the motherland, Aksyonov was a best-seller. Printed in editions of hundreds of thousands, those of his works approved by the authorities would sell out on publication day. It’s hard to see him having that much success as an exile. His notion of an avant-garde, like his notion of modern (sic) jazz, seems stuck in the Sixties. Just as (one imagines) forward Russian youth is currently still twisting the night away, Aksyonov has written the latest Beat novel. Like Kerouac’s later work, The Burn seems to have been written on the analogy of the saxophone improvisation, in a series of swooping solo flights. Jazz figures importantly in the novel: in the West, it is now of diminished account. For Aksyonov, hot and cool jazz retain a potent revolutionary charge. It would seem that there are clubs in Moscow, alternately just tolerated or inefficiently persecuted by the authorities, where young Muscovites make their statement by wearing jeans and coming on like fans. The Ginsberg figure in The Burn is the jazzman Silvester, whose great political gesture is to look like something out of last year’s Downbeat. Silvester looked like a Western intellectual. He always took note of fashion, and always followed it. Right now [the late Sixties] he had long hair and moustaches down to his chin, but Samsik remembered when he had a Fifties-style crew cut. When he blew into his crooked horn, he looked like Satan himself ... he never looked at a steak, never touched brandy, and the only thing he did to chicks was to pay them compliments. Jazz was his whole life. There’s a strong feel of ‘reefer madness’ camp about The Burn’s jazz scene, with the difference that Aksyonov’s not laughing. The Burn confirms that the best destabilisation technique the Americans have had over the last thirty years of Cold War has been Willis Conover, with his Voice of America programme beaming jazz two hours a night across the Iron Curtain. Not that Aksyonov presents his Moscow hippies as being in any sense politically vital. In one of the less ecstatic of his digressions, he analyses the essential passivity of their rebellion in the good Khrushchev years. There is an illuminating (and I take it historically true) account of a pathetic 1968 anti-Vietnam war demonstration mounted by them: ‘the idea being to show our kids’ solidarity with the unsquare people who were demonstrating in Trafalgar Square’. The militia beat up the demonstrators, indicating that police everywhere hate long hair more than they hate capitalism or communism. Thus instructed, the hippies adopt a ‘don’t make waves’ policy, and return to the never-ending hunt for designer jeans, the latest LP and Italian shoes. This, then, is a novel enraged by the post-Khrushchev freeze, while at the same time unillusioned by the liberating capacity of the Moscow underground. And yet Aksyonov clearly feels that he must stand up and be counted among his country’s long-haired, be-jeaned and jazz-loving fraction. The Burn contains five main characters, all of the same generation, each sharing the same patronymic (the middle bit that ends in ‘vich’ – here Apollinarievich). One is a sculptor, one a physicist, one a writer, one a doctor and one a jazz musician. They are – possibly – a corporate entity. They are joined in an obsessive mission to discover Captain Cheptsov, the Kolyma guard who tormented the saintly Tolya von Steinbeck. Now retired, on a measly 170-rouble-a-month pension, Cheptsov beguiles himself by raping his stepdaughter (a dissident) and caring for the catatonic wife whom he stole from a betrayed colleague. In an entirely fantastic conclusion to the novel, he suffers a kind of living embalmment (like Stalin) for his sins. The quintet’s quest for Cheptsov is the springboard for a vast number of hallucinatory trips: poetic, obscene, surreal, farcical, macabre, expressing anger, rebellion, disillusionment and infantile fascination with the shiny consumer goods of corrupt Western capitalism. A mysterious Patrick Thunderjet, an American diplomat (or spy?) with a taste for stylish clothes, imported whisky and big gas-guzzling cars, intrudes into the story. The action skitters all over the place, settling at one bizarre point on the campus of Sussex University, where the modish revolutionaries Johnny Dior and Eurydice Cliquot plan a bomb outrage under the invited cameras of the TV people. The episode, which starts convincingly enough with students ‘fucking on all the steps of the vice-chancellor’s staircase’, climaxes in a typically mind-blown way: Now the first rays of a crimson, pastoral sun were illuminating the fluffy, tinsel-like clouds over the county of Sussex. That mythical bird, the bittern, shrieked hysterically from a neighbouring swamp. For the last time Eurydice passed her pimply young tongue over the offspring of the House of Dior, who was already exhausted before the revolution had even begun, looked up into the sky, and shrieked with amazement and fury. On top of the university obelisk could be seen a folding cot, and sitting on it was Patrick Percy Thunderjet, professor in the Department of Slavic Studies ... ‘In the name of and under instructions from the youth of Simferopol and Yalta, I will now piss on your revolutions,’ he said amid the silence and, having first apologised to the young ladies present, thereupon carried out his promise. According to Yevtushenko, disorganisation is the Russian vice. Aksyonov goes beyond disorganisation into the narrative equivalent of drunk and disorderly. This is a novel which is high, not on experimentalism (which would exact a certain discipline), but on free-associationism. The indiscipline of The Burn, its rampant breaking out of bounds, insolence and improvisation, is Aksyonov’s criticism of (Soviet) life. His epigraph is from Blok: ‘Only a lout can scoff at Russian life.’ The novel, for all its hipness, makes the same kind of loutish protest as those Americans who sewed the Stars and Stripes to the seat of their pants. The Soviet young in The Burn lust for the material goods of the West. For them, utopia would be a Los Angeles shopping mall and an Amex gold card. For the fellow-travellers of T.C. Worsley’s novel, Moscow is the fount of spiritual nourishment, the known but unvisited other country, as Julian Mitchell terms it, in his play, Another Country. Fellow Travellers fits snugly with the success of the film version of the play, with the death of Blunt, and Britain’s continuing fascination with Thirties upper-class traitors. Worsley wrote the novel in the Thirties, concurrently with the events it describes. It was published in 1971, by the London Magazine. Now it is put forward, somewhat polemically, by GMP, with an introduction by Paul Binding (who is, I believe, working on a critical biography of Stephen Spender). Binding argues that Worsley’s novel gains from a historically-distanced perspective on the fusion of high-born philanthropy, political romanticism and homo-erotic cultism which produced the fellow-travelling generation. Upper-class gays are, Binding suggests, inherently anti-fascist. The main interest of the novel, however, is less the analysis of a dirty decade and its martyrs than the identification of the originals of its characters which is now possible. The novel has half a dozen main characters, four of whom are homosexual men, and the fifth a titled woman, sister to a Cabinet Minister. The principal males, Martin Murray and Gavin Blair Summers, are, Binding informs us, modelled on Stephen Spender and Giles Romilly. Fellow Travellers thinly fictionalises a passage in Spender’s life which he has himself recollected in World within World. In 1933, the poet (in the novel a novelist) became friendly with an ex-guardsman, Tony Hyndman (called ‘Jimmy Younger’ in Spender’s autobiography, ‘Harry Watson’ by Worsley and ‘a secretary’ by Hugh Thomas in his history of the Spanish Civil War). The relationship went sour, Spender married, and Tony-Jimmy-Harry, fired by the doctrines he had picked up from his intellectual friends, enlisted in the International Brigade. In Spain, he was traumatised by battle, and rescued by Spender, who went himself to the front to arrange his friend’s reprieve from the firing-squad. Worsley apparently accompanied Spender on the mission. This episode is the kernel of Worsley’s novel, though he embroiders it into a larger fable on the theme of political disillusionment and failing gods. The main attraction of the work, however, is its intimate portrait of Spender. As Worsley puts it, in his 1971 preface, Murray ‘was for us what someone like John Osborne was to the young of the Fifties’. But an Osborne without anger or malice. As Worsley presents him, the Spender character is the St Sebastian of his time: ‘what was most striking about Martin was his long, thin, sensitive, suffering face. The suffering was internal – his circumstances, enough money, and a remarkable talent, were easy enough on the surface. But he agonised for the world.’ Part of the book’s period flavour is its being written in the objective ‘I am a camera’ style modish in the Thirties: the work presents itself as entries in a reporter’s file. This makes for a very static narrative, and for the Spanish War scenes – the novel’s most gripping section – Worsley is forced to rely on extracts from another supposed novel, written more conventionally, by the Gavin-Romilly character. It’s very artificial, as is the masquerade of barely fictionalised characters. Spender’s and Isherwood’s memoirs suggest that this kind of witness is best given as unvarnished autobiography. Fellow Travellers is published as a ‘Gay Modern Classic’. In its physical appearance, and general packaging, the novel is reminiscent of Virago Press’s successful excavation of ‘classics’ from the literary past so as to construct a tradition for modern feminism. Virago’s initiative has had other spin-offs, most notably the new ‘Chatto Fiction’ list. This series alters the established publishing routine by selecting works from the accumulated store of worthy but forgotten fiction published in the recent past, works published abroad (forbidden territory, usually, for the British publisher) and works with a strong political content. The aim is evidently to find a rather more ideologically-opinionated constituency for the reading of fiction. Another noteworthy publication from the Chatto Fiction list is The Power of the Dog, a psychological Western, first published in 1967. A story of psychopathology on the ranch, it opens with the line ‘Phil always did the castrating’ and ends with the neatest of Oedipal killings. Although it has only recently been published in the UK, Frederick Forsyth’s The Fourth Protocol has already been three months in the New York Times best-seller list. Forsyth at the moment is in America, promoting his latest thriller. His line, on the talk-shows I have heard, is frankly apocalyptic. Britain, he claims, is a domino about to fall. The hard Left have taken over the Labour Party; Kinnock is a mere stooge, who will be cast off, by palace revolution, after the Party wins the next general election. Thereafter will follow Finlandisation, and quick absorption into the Soviet empire. The novel fantasises a provocative bomb outrage by the Russians, blueprinted by Kim Philby, which will bring the Kinnock Trojan horse to power in 1986 on a wave of anti-nuclear sentiment. As a Cold War nightmare, The Fourth Protocol is less well-written than Constantine Fitzgibbon’s When the kissing had to stop, which it resembles. And some of Forsyth’s punches are either pulled, or are wild misses. He clearly wrote the novel with Andropov as arch-villain, and was left with a gaping hole when the old tyrant died on him. Nor – for fear of libel, one presumes – does The Fourth Protocol dare mention who the puppet leader of the Labour Party will be in two years’ time; although it is clear that Forsyth may have a red-headed Welshman in mind. In places, the famed ‘faction’ style becomes prudently vague. As usual, Forsyth tends to interpolate too many clunking lecturettes on such things as the operating procedure of the SAS, the secret diplomacy of the 1968 Nuclear Proliferation Treaty (whose mysterious fourth protocol, covering luggable nukes, is central to his plot), and the workings of MI5. Not to put too fine a point on it, Forsyth writes at best efficiently, at worst like a tabloid journalist phoning in his copy for the morning edition. And, lowering over the whole paranoid narrative, is a sense of total improbability. Forsyth’s conviction, for instance, that the extremists within the Labour Party are deliberately muting themselves, playing a cunningly deep game of what he calls ‘clandestinity’, is belied by what recently happened at Blackpool where the hard Left’s takeover was about as clandestine as the IRA’s attempt to deselect the Prime Minister at Brighton. That bomb outrage will have done Forsyth’s novel no harm. Whatever else, the chase scenes of The Fourth Protocol drag the reader along at an invigorating gallop. By contrast, Vladimir Volkoff’s The Set-Up is a ponderous affair. The plots of the two novels are exactly similar: both deal with fiendishly deep-laid Soviet conspiracies to disinform and destabilise Western democracy. But Volkoff’s novel, which is set among the White Russian community in Paris, lingers tediously on the moral complexities of patriotism and betrayal. The hero is recruited into the KGB in a scene on top of the tower of Notre Dame, which hammers its Biblical and Faustian symbolism so hard as to make the reader’s literary sensibility ache.

In retrospect, because it seemed that the country was basically going in the right direction, I took our beautiful, messy, multicultural democracy for granted. November’s election results were a shocking illustration that our democratic system is much more fragile than we realized. To many of us, the worst of it was not the denial of the popular vote. Not the lies, insults, and ugly revelations of the campaign. Not the Russian government’s hacking or their mysterious hold over Donald Trump. Not the FBI director’s last-minute election interference. No, the worst was the discovery that so many of our fellow Americans—about a quarter of eligible voters—would voluntarily choose a racist, misogynistic, climate change-denying demagogue to represent us. I have to believe that Trump voters genuinely felt he was the best choice for president. But as a woman, a minority, and a child of immigrants, I struggle not to take this personally. this deep blue state While still grieving, I have been inspired to take action. As President Obama said in his farewell speech last week, "Our Constitution is a remarkable, beautiful gift. But it's really just a piece of parchment. It has no power on its own. We, the people, give it power - with our participation, and the choices we make." So since the election, along with hundreds of thousands of others, I have been phoning Members of Congress, writing letters, and donating to environmental and other groups. Tomorrow, I will be walking and singing at a freedom march honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. We can learn much from the civil rights movement about the power of nonviolent action over time. And next Saturday, January 21, I will take part in the Women’s March in Eureka, CA, one of some 300 women’s marches held around the country and the world in tandem with the big one in Washington, DC. “new chapter” is 5×7, painted with sumi ink and Japanese watercolors on paper.

And I have hesitated to share this piece because I know not all my customers and store buyers share my politics. But the threats that our nation and our planet now face transcend all that. As Dr. King once said, “Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.” If there is a silver lining to the coming administration, it is that it could usher in a new era of political engagement by everyone who feels unrepresented and disrespected by our president-elect. And beyond politics, I hope the election will commit us, with “every cell awake,” to put love into action however and whenever we can. Dr. King said, “Only in the darkness can you see the stars.” Let this time of darkness inspire us all to shine more brightly.

__label__wiki	0.863306	0.863306	Home News Local Township staff claim honour of Assiginack Community Cup Township staff claim honour of Assiginack Community Cup Warren Schlote The day’s events began with the usual variety of track events before the Assiginack Community Cup got underway. MANITOWANING – It was a beautiful morning for a day of community building and physical activity at the first-ever Assiginack Public School (APS) Track and Fun event, held recently in collaboration with the Township of Assiginack. “It was an amazing day. We had lots of people from the community, lots of volunteers, parents and all our students and staff,” said Heather Pennie, APS principal. The event has its roots in track and field events at the school but has since evolved to a social assembly. “We’ve always done a traditional track and field day, but we really wanted to take some of the emphasis off competition and turn it into more of a community gathering and fun event,” said Ms. Pennie. The day began with the standard track events that are part of a conventional school track and field day. Some students ran to the running track and arena located some 800 metres from the school and completed one lap around the track, which amounted to approximately a 1,500-metre distance for the first race. Those less inclined to longer-distance running could walk the distance to the track. “At the school we have nowhere to run except the grass. The township prepares the running track every year and I remember even when I was a student here, the whole school would go to the track and run the events. Three years ago, we brought back that tradition,” said Ms. Pennie. The Township of Assiginack ensured the running surface was smooth and even and applied the lane markers. They also measured out distance markers for the various races. Around midday, the students and community members were treated to a barbecue. All the money collected from community members went back to the school. “We were planning a barbecue lunch for the students anyway and decided it might get more people out and encourage them to take part if we opened it to the community as a fundraiser,” said Ms. Pennie. The highly anticipated event was the Assiginack Community Cup competition. Three teams—APS staff, Assiginack township staff and Assiginack Family Health Team staff—engaged in a fierce competition for the inaugural award. This event was held over the lunch break so the students could cheer on their favourite teams and enjoy burgers and a show. “Jackie White from the township and I brainstormed and she put together an obstacle course for the contestants to do,” said Ms. Pennie. There was a rubber chicken accuracy toss, a ‘hungry hippo’ scooter game where challengers had to collect balls in a basket while riding on scooters, and an Indigenous tug-of-war-style game created by APS’ Ojibwe teacher. Ms. Pennie noted that traditional Indigenous games are a focus in her school’s physical education curriculum. All during the events, the school had also set up smaller Indigenous games, a beanbag toss, jumbo Jenga and ‘schlocky,’ also known as box hockey. The Assiginack Community Cup challengers brought out their best spirit wear, ranging from wigs to face paint and even a decorative grass skirt. “Students were amazing with all their cheering and competing and it was a pleasure to work with the school on this community event,” said Ms. White. It was a hard-fought battle, but the Township of Assiginack’s team eventually emerged victorious and walked away with the coveted Assiginack Community Cup—a sneaker mounted atop a bucket, all painted gold and adorned with the Assiginack All Stars logo. “The township is honoured and humbled to win such a prestigious cup,” said Ms. White with a chuckle. “The team spent countless hours training on evenings and weekends to prepare for the event. We would like to thank Assiginack Public School and Assiginack Family Health Team for their efforts. While they fell short, they certainly tried hard.” Ms. Pennie said she was incredibly pleased with how this first Track and Fun day turned out and that she hoped to continue it in future years. “Hopefully we can get even more community involvement to keep people active and participating, and to highlight the fact that Assiginack Public School is a community school,” said Ms. Pennie. Ms. White shared a similar sentiment, adding that her team is already preparing for even stiffer competition next year.

I disagree. By Suzannah Weiss The week after I finished treatment for an eating disorder, I asked my doctor not to reveal my weight. He said that until I could look at the number, I hadn't recovered. Seven years later, I still avoid the scale. I also steer clear of photos of myself, and refuse to own a full-length mirror. Is this ideal? No. Do I care? Not really. Have I recovered? Enough. The messages about women's bodies can be confusing. Lose weight, but have a big butt. Get healthier, but love yourself for what you have. We post photos on social media to emphasize our body positivity, we make art projects out of our bodies, and we are encouraged to make peace with our figures. The eating disorder recovery story people want to hear is an inspirational tear-jerker about a woman who used to feel like an ugly duckling and now thinks—no, knows—she is beautiful. The messages about women's bodies can be confusing. Lose weight, but have a big butt. Get healthier, but love yourself for what you have. But many of us don't get that sort of closure. Rather than annihilating every last body-hating thought, we sign sloppily written peace treaties. Instead of locking up our eating disorders, we get restraining orders. We don't leave body hatred behind forever; we just move fast enough to outpace it. That motion in and of itself is an accomplishment. In a culture that makes it hard for us to simply exist in our bodies, loving them is a tall order. Unfortunately, the body-positivity movement has given women the message that life will only start once we wholeheartedly approve of our appearances. In the pivotal 1991 book The Beauty Myth, Naomi Wolf brought attention to how body hatred distracts women from gaining power. But could all the energy we expend to love our appearances also divert attention from our other goals? Trying to make every meal a self-loving experience, staring at ourselves in the mirror to identify traits to celebrate, and wearing lingerie to "feel sexy" can be as exhausting as dieting and over-exercising. The majority of women I know don't love their bodies. Many of them still have and deserve healthy relationships, satisfying sex lives, and thriving careers. Why does this seem surprising? Because women's appearances are conflated with their identities. So, the story goes, if a woman isn't happy with her appearance, she isn't happy with herself. Accepting how much space our bodies take up can be empowering—but so can giving our bodies less space in our heads. I'm not advocating poor body image or dismissing all inspirational quotes, DIY art projects, and body-acceptance campaigns. These efforts can be helpful when they encourage women to love their bodies for what they do rather than what they look like. But rather than trying to feel good about our bodies so we can feel good about ourselves, we should challenge the way these two feelings are linked. Accepting how much space our bodies take up can be empowering—but so can giving our bodies less space in our heads. To the many women out there who don't love their bodies: If you have better things to do with your time than improve your opinion of your thighs, I'm right there with ya.

Several ATACs worked with coalition advisors to execute simulated airstrikes in preparation for upcoming operations in Helmand province. This capability allows for the Afghan Air Force to use organic air assets to destroy Taliban targets, giving other Afghan National Defense and Security Forces increased security and freedom of movement on the battlefield. (Sgt. Lucas Hopkins/Marine Corps) While the Marines and the U.S. military are amid an overhaul to prep the force for a fight with near-peer adversaries, the Corps hasn’t lost focused on its counterinsurgency mission. And on Wednesday, the top Marine told reporters at a media roundtable event that the Corps plans to double its foreign military training adviser group that aids in stability operations and helps train future Marine foreign advisers. While America’s focus is once again on great power competition, that “doesn’t mean we are going to forget or forgo the requirements to be able to do counterinsurgency or stability ops,” Gen. Robert B. Neller, the commandant of the Marine Corps, told reporters Wednesday. In 2012, the Corps stood up the Marine Corps Security Cooperation Group, or MCSCG, which carries out foreign military training and cooperation and trains Marine advisors preparing to deploy overseas with cultural and immersion training and foreign weapons handling. The MCSCG runs a nearly 4-week course dubbed the Marine Advisor Course, which helps hone future Marine foreign military trainers in a plethora of skills from force protection to building rapport with foreign security forces. Neller says he plans to double the size of the group and rename it the Marine Advisor Group. The organization will serve as a “repository of lessons learned” of the Corps’ foreign military and security cooperation engagements, Neller explained. The Marine Corps carries out foreign military advisory operations all over the globe from the countries of Georgia to Afghanistan. But while the Corps continues to carry out its counterinsurgency mission, the force is still amid a massive overhaul for a modern battlefield. The Corps has to be prepared “to operate across the range of military operations” from non-combatant evacuations, embassy reinforcement, to counterinsurgency conflicts, Neller said. The problem is “how much time are you going to allocate” to preparing or training for these operations, Neller explained. While a fight with a major peer or near pear rival is less likely, “the consequences are higher,” Neller said.	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0007.json.gz/line1618425
__label__wiki	0.760641	0.760641	Illegal dredge fishing uncovered in Scottish protected area Date posted: 7 February 2018 Two divers have discovered the aftermath of dredging on a recent dive near Insh island in the Firth of Lorn. The pair returned with camera equipment to film the damage along with environmental group Open Seas. In the twenty first century, it should be standard that we know who is fishing for what and where in our inshore waters. Calum Duncan, MCS Head of Conservation, Scotland When similar damage was found last year to Loch Carron’s flameshell beds, it resulted in emergency closure of the waters there. Divers Steve Barlow and Davy Stinson discovered the damage two years after special protection measures were introduced to safeguard rare marine life in the Firth of Lorn, including a ban on bottom-trawling fishing methods. Nick Underdown, from the environmental group Open Seas, accompanied the divers to see the damage for himself. He told ‘The Scotsman’: “We are extremely concerned that illegally caught scallops, dredged from a marine protected area, could be pooled into wholesale, sold to legitimate retailers, before ending up on dinner plates. “This would mean customers are inadvertently eating seafood that has been caught illegally and in an environmentally damaging way. This problem is only possible because there is poor traceability within Scotland’s inshore fishery.” Diver Steve Barlow told the BBC: “I could see lines on the seabed which is classic of the dredges. This is where they dredge spikes along the sea bed. “Then I was seeing boulders and broken scallop shells and scallops with meat still in them. So it was very recently that it happened.” It’s 100% definitely damage caused by the sword from the scallop dredging. It’s a Marine Protected Area which had historically been very heavily dredged. When the protection came in, it started to recover and the environment was rebuilding itself.” Calum Duncan, MCS Head of Conservation, Scotland, said it is bitterly disappointing if this damage is corroborated by Marine Scotland as having been caused by dredging activity. “In the twenty first century, it should be standard that we know who is fishing for what and where in our inshore waters. We are not at that stage yet in Scotland for smaller vessels and, as a result, everyone loses - customers, retailers, the vast majority of responsible legal fishers and, most crucially, those fragile marine habitats that need protected both for their own merit and to support the long-term health of the fishing industry itself. “We welcome the various trials on vessel monitoring being undertaken for smaller vessels, and also the constructive response from the industry to this incident, and all need to move forward together to secure a modern fishing industry as committed to in the Scottish Government’s Inshore Fishing Strategy published in 2015 to ensure these types of incident become a thing of the past.” Find out more about Scottish Wildlife Browse Scotland's Marine Atlas Report your wildlife sightings Browse Marine Protected Areas Scotland has 10% of Europe’s coastline Over half a million people have voiced their support for ‘marine protected area’ designation in the UK through our campaigns Over 170 parliamentarians from across the political spectrum signed up to our Marine Charter calling for a network of ‘marine protected areas’ in UK Seas	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0007.json.gz/line1618430

I bring even more great news for Roam Mobility customers. Just a few weeks ago I wrote about Roam Mobility’s new Snowbird talk and text plan, which gives users traveling from Canada to the US unlimited minutes and text messages for only $19.95 a month. Roaming charges can get pretty nasty, so that’s a killer deal. Now Roam is sweetening the pot by not only adding additional US coverage but they’re expanding their network all the way down to Mexico! First off, Roam is expanding their US coverage to include Alaska, Maine, North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa, Wyoming, Kansas, West Virginia, and more. However, this new coverage is part of the Enhanced Coverage plan, which costs an extra $30 a month (on top of normal Snowbird charges) and will give you unlimited SMS but just 20 minutes of talk time and 10MB of data per day when in an enhanced coverage area. This deal may not sound that exciting, but considering that Roam usually doesn’t cover those areas at all, it’s nice to know that you have the option if you really need it. This plan will be available starting December 17. The exciting news is the Mexico coverage! There are three weekly pass options, all easy to remember. $25 will get you 50 minutes, 50 messages, and 50MB of data. $50 will get you 125 minutes, 125 message, and 125MB. Finally, $125 will get you 200 minutes, 200 messages, and 200MB. These are all outgoing messages, by the way; each plan gets unlimited incoming SMS, as well as MMS, caller ID, and voicemail. The minutes include calls to Mexico, US and Canada and don’t cost anything on top of what you’re already paying. The best part is you don’t need a new SIM card for this, as it uses the same one being sold today. These plans will become available on December 10. So by all means, take a little siesta across the border!The only Spanish I know comes from the bumblebee guy on The Simpsons, so I don’t think I’m quite ready yet.

In a search to dig up some cold, classical, ambient Black Metal — like the mighty Mystic Forest — this band somehow turned up that wasn't quite what I was looking for, but it didn't disappoint either. A bombardment of folk instruments on top of macerating guitars, blasts and shrieking in Russian sounds way too overwhelming. To the point where one would think the sound would be intolerable. But I suppose all such norms have exceptions and Ashen Light fit snugly into that crevice. When all guns are loaded, this band is simply outstanding. The fourth track — "Ros'" — for example, is a masterpiece of the marriage between folk instruments and chaotic guitar riffing. Vocals are done very nicely too and the sound of the album is mystical, 'foresty' and ancient. Although this is quite interesting and enjoyable, it has some shortcomings. A sizable amount of filler material is on the bill; filler that is just downright garbage - to be perfectly blunt. Especially on the tracks where the guitars take the back seat and are drowning in sound while the other folksy instruments take point. So the variation in quality is quite large and Ashen Light do not seem to be sure which direction they want to focus more on. Because clearly, when this band is firing up the guitars, they are just incredible and should center their attention down that route. Despite its crazy moments that are too 'out there', there is enough meat on here to be at least worth a sniff. Check it out.	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0007.json.gz/line1618437
__label__cc	0.748958	0.251042	The Sensitive, Passionate Character March 12, 2014 in 12 Key Pillars of Novel Construction with 16 Comments We’ve been taking a look at the second key “corner pillar” in this course on the 12 key pillars of novel construction, which is all about the protagonist and her goal for the book. I mentioned in recent posts how important it is for the protagonist to have a goal and how obvious and simple that might seem, yet few novels I critique include this necessary element—which I will say is crucial. It’s very common for the protagonist to start off with one goal, only to quickly (meaning, yes, fairly early into your story) be pushed in another direction altogether, creating a “new” goal—which then becomes the “real” goal for the book. Without going into this twist in depth, you can read all about it in this post I wrote a while back. But for now, just be aware that, tied in with your concept and themes, there should be an overarching or main goal your character is trying to reach. I explained there are five main types of goals in stories, so whether your protagonist starts out the gate pursuing one of those goals or is shortly redirected to do so, a goal must be set. Whether he reaches his goal is up to you and depends on the genre and type of novel you are writing. But without a goal for your character (and I will be so bold as to say any of your main and supporting characters), you cannot have a strong novel. But I’m going to take this a step further because I’m hoping that many of you want to write not just a good book but a great book. And a great book has great characters. What Is “Larger Than Life” All about, Anyway? So what makes a character great? You’ve heard phrases like “make them larger than life” or “your character has to be sympathetic.” Yes, those things are important, although the expression “larger than life” sounds a bit vague. Do you want all your characters to be extreme? Overly obnoxious, overly emotional, overly sensitive, overly dramatic? Is that what larger than life means? I’ve written a number of posts on the question about the “everyday man” or “ordinary people.” We want our readers to relate to our protagonist, right? She should be an average Jane, facing the things we ordinary people face, right? Well, yes and no. Yes, we must be able to relate to a writer’s characters. We do need to quickly care about the protagonist, find her sympathetic. There are lots of great ways to do that, and I’ve discussed this in many prior posts. The key is in showing the protagonist’s humanity, vulnerability, sensitivity, that glimpse of greatness. All those things are helpful. But ordinary people are boring. I’ve critiqued hundreds of novels filled with very boring, average people, and I’m sad to say—I try to care for them but I don’t. Readers usually look for any excuse to care for your protagonist. They want to care. Writers, though, shouldn’t make this hard for their readers. They should be mindful of wooing the reader right away, get them attached, bonded, concerned for the protagonist as fast as possible. It’s All about the Goal Which takes us back to the big question: Really, how do you do this? I will say this: it’s not just about creating fascinating, sympathetic, vulnerable characters with quirky larger-than-life personalities. What makes the reader really latch on to your character is when you tie all that “personality” in with a goal. A meaningful goal. Meaningful for whom? Why, for your character, of course. Done right, you could get readers to root for a character who collects worms or whose goal is to win a cake-baking contest at her church. Really? Yes. How can that be done? How can you make readers get riveted to a novel about a character with such lame goals as that? It’s all about one word—a word I tend to point out to my editing clients time and again. If your protagonist does not have a goal he is passionate about, then it’s going to be hard to get your reader to care. There, I said it. I know some of you will disagree with me, but this is the fatal flaw I see in so many books I read, edit, and critique. Sure, they’ll have a nice protagonist. Maybe a really neat one that is quite unique and engaging. And maybe even sometimes that character will have a goal she is going after . . . sort of. What I see is there is a kind of nebulous wandering about with some bit of intention and wanting something that pops up here and there, but nothing focused. From time to time the protagonist may want something, depending on the scene. Which makes the novel seem like a string of scenes, without much purpose or point to the book. This is so endemic to novels, I can’t overemphasize the importance of passion. A protagonist needs a clearly stated goal. Whenever that character gets going after her goal (whether from page one or after some initial disturbance that pushes her through that first “door of no return”), she needs to go after it with passion. It’s a simple word, really. Here’s how Merriam-Webster’s defines passion: “intense, driving, or overmastering [dominant] feeling or conviction.” Think of the great movies and books you love. Think of the characters in those stories you love. I think about Sherlock Holmes, Mel Gibson in Ransom (or Lethal Weapon, The Conspiracy Theory, The Patriot), Liam Neeson in Taken, just about every character in Lonesome Dove, just about every character in Downton Abbey. What makes a great character great? Passion. Passion with a goal. In a TV episode, that “goal” may change, but the passion remains the same. And that passion is all tied up with theme, for passionate people believe in things, and those things are the “themes” of their lives. Even a couch potato jerk can be passionate with a goal. He may live for the SF Giants and won’t touch a pizza unless it’s pepperoni and made by the local pizzeria ten miles away. He may only be a secondary character, but he’s going to be memorable and “larger than life” if he’s passionate about something. All your characters can be passionate, and all should have goals. Your antagonist, if you have one, will be passionate about stopping your protagonist from reaching his goal. That’s his goal. A Reason for the Passion So spend some time with your protagonist (and eventually all your main characters in your story). Ask him what he’s passionate about and why. And be sure to give him good reasons. Passion without reason is like picking characters based on some personality profile charts at random. You’re telling a specific story for a specific reason. I hope it’s because you are passionate about the story you are telling. To show that passion you have for your story, you populate your novel with characters who feel passionately one way or another about your theme (yes, we are talking about theme here, and we’ll go much more into this in future posts). And when your protagonist is passionate about these thematic elements, you will show him reaching for a goal that will matter—not just to him but to the reader. Why will the reader come to care about that goal? Because you’ve made him care about your character. If your character really wants to win that cake-baking contest, and she is passionate for a good reason, and the themes in your book are big (she could want the prize money to save an orphanage, for example), you could have a strong key corner pillar for your novel. Making a cake just to win a blue ribbon will not cut it. Making a cake to save a child’s life or to make a dying mother’s wish come true will. It’s all about the passion. I hope this has given you something to think deeply about. Don’t let the lack of passion in your story be the fatal flaw that causes structural failure. Give your protagonist a goal, an important goal he’s passionate about and for good reason. Then see how this takes your story to a higher level.

Thank you. E.M. LaBonte March 12, 2014 at 8:00 am # This post hit the nail on the head. It’s all about the goal and how the characters drive toward that goal. It took me a while to really get that with my own writing. I was too focused on the characters and not what the needed/wanted or were trying to avoid. Strange but true. Thanks so much for this post. It’s a great way to put it in perspective. 😀 Michael Tevlin March 12, 2014 at 8:09 am # Wonderful post, C.S. I worry that my characters’ goals are not specific enough. For example, my 18-year-old protagonist, facing high school graduation and choices about college, career and life, starts the book knowing that he hates where he lives and doesn’t fit in. Immediately, his goal could be stated in his P.O.V. as, “I want to find a place where I belong.” Is that a strong and specific enough goal? That would be his spiritual/emotional goal and very valid. Be sure to search my blog and read the posts about character goals, especially about the two MDQs that must be asked. In addition to that emotional goal that has to be resolved at the climax of the book, you need him to have a visible plot goal. He may not know it in the first scene, but the book has to be about more than his emotional state. Something has to happen in the story. So as the inciting incident comes into play and sets him on a path, make clear what that goal is and looks like. It’s the outward vehicle of the inner journey. Make sense? Traci Kenworth March 12, 2014 at 8:21 am # I see what you mean. It does take a passionate character with a goal to keep a reader interested. Great post!! Thanks, all. I am sensitive and passionate myself about this topic. I think it’s so important and that’s why I wrote a post just on this one quality. Sherry Marshall March 12, 2014 at 2:38 pm # Fantastic and to the point. It makes me think that it’s true of life as well. Being passionate about something in our life makes for a much more meaningful and interesting life which is why it works in a book too. It also made me think about my supporting characters who now need a clearer goal for themselves rather than just being ‘for or against’ my protagonist. Marcia March 12, 2014 at 5:16 pm # What a helpful post! My main character has a goal, but I’m not sure the readers can see why he has that goal. I’m going to go through my chapters and make sure it’s clear. Thank you. Destination Infinity March 12, 2014 at 7:23 pm # This article could have started from the subheading, ‘Passion’. While passion is important, I feel, it could be garnished with other qualities like courage, empathy, determination, etc. Secondly, passion should be for a worthy cause. Not pizzas and such. Yes, other qualities are helpful, but characters who feel strongly about things makes them compelling. And secondary characters need not be passionate about “worthy causes.” What makes a book rich and diverse is the many kinds of characters in a story, so there is surely a place for those supporting roles to be “passionate” about “small” things like pizza. Those small passions provide humor, conflict, and help make a book engaging so that readers are drawn into the story and turn pages. You can’t have every single character in a book on fire about deep, important things. It would be imbalanced. And consider: a character with a lot of courage is someone who is passionate about being courageous. Same with empathy and determination. Those characteristics imply some kind of passion in what they feel or believe. Patrick Neer March 13, 2014 at 9:50 am # This was a great post! I do have a question, though- How would you effectively write the couch-potato character with his San Francisco passion? Does a passion that small (or focused, I suppose) have enough weight to carry a story? The passions of minor characters don’t carry the weight of a story. Your protagonist needs the big thematic passion, but my point was that every character can and should be passionate about something. That can create great conflict and tension. One of my favorite movies is Legends of the Fall. Each character has huge passion, all different and clashing. A great example of this idea. CC Riley March 15, 2014 at 2:10 am # I have always wanted my MC to be passionate, and even my major supporters, but I’ve never thought about all of my minor supporters as well. Thanks for this post! Angela Byrne March 24, 2014 at 7:27 pm # Thanks for another great post, and a great insight! When I think of writers who are known for crafting memorable characters (such as Charles Dickens and JK Rowling), ALL of their characters have a passion for something…even if that passion might seem frivolous to others. This is what makes all of them (even the secondary characters) interesting enough to remember and invest in. I agree with you that passion can be for big things or for small – the variety makes for a more interesting, textured story. Thanks again for a great post! homunkomunasta May 9, 2014 at 7:52 am # It is really important for my character to not be passionate.It’s the point of the whole story. How to make the readers interested in the events in the book when everything is seen through the disinterested eyes of a protagonist? cslakin May 10, 2014 at 7:55 am # That’s an interesting question. Can you sustain reader interest in a character who cares about nothing? Who has no real drive or desire? If nothing at all is driving him in the story, it may be that he is passive and external forces are happening to him, which is not going to appeal to readers. Now you might have a great device here showing a story through an objective POV and that is very doable so long as the story being shown reveals characters striving for things and in conflict, with a purpose. You can have a dispassionate narrator, but I feel you cannot have a dispassionate protagonist. Your narrative may really not be the protagonist of the story, so without knowing more about your novel, I can’t really answer specifically. Leave a Reply to E.M.

Mairead McGuinness MEP for Longford and first Vice-President of the European Parliament, visited Cloontagh National School, Killashee recently. The school is participating in the Blue Star programme, which aims to foster, through classroom projects and activities, better knowledge and understanding amongst primary pupils about the European Union. Among other things, it examines the foundation and development of the European Union, the cultural and linguistic diversity of Europe and the role of the EU: what it does and how its work affects the lives of European citizens. Ms McGuinness said her visit to Cloontagh was a real pleasure. “This 30 pupil school is big on ambition. The 3rd to 6th years who are undertaking the Blue Star programme had a wide range of interesting questions about the EU, how it works and how MEPs work to change laws on behalf of citizens. “The pupils showed a keen interest in politics and public debate and have a keen awareness of Brexit and the challenges it poses for Ireland, the EU and the UK,” she said. She thanked Blue Star Coordinator and teacher, Vice-Principal Kay Smyth and the Principal Pauline Ferguson and all associated with the school for the warm welcome and for the great work done on the Blue Star Programme.

Choose your region to see customized latest news and entertainment content Daily Dossier FacebookTwitterPinterestFeedback Maharashtra govt orders probe into "commercial" use of National Herald land Updated: Dec 17, 2015, 11:24 IST \| PTI The Maharashtra government has ordered an inquiry into alleged "commercial use" of land allotted to Associated Journals Ltd (AJL), publisher of National Herald, for setting up Nehru Memorial Library and Rsearch Centre in Mumbai, according to BJP Mumbai unit president Ashish Shelar Nagpur: The Maharashtra government has ordered an inquiry into alleged "commercial use" of land allotted to Associated Journals Ltd (AJL), publisher of National Herald, for setting up Nehru Memorial Library and Rsearch Centre in Mumbai, according to BJP Mumbai unit president Ashish Shelar. Congress, however, refuted the allegation and dubbed the probe ordered by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis as a "political stunt." Shelar, a BJP legislator, told reporters here that he had raised the issue on December 10 during the winter session of the state Assembly. According to him, the state government had in 1983 alloted to AJL 3478 sq meter of land in Bandra on the Western Express Highway for setting up Nehru Memorial Library and Research Centre. But, no construction was taken up on the plot till 2013. That year, however, permission for "commercial construction" was accquired from the Mumbai Municipal Corporation and an 11-storeyed "Congress Bhavan" is being built there, he said. Shelar told reporters he had raised the issue during the winter session of the Assembly on December 10 as it involved violation of land allotment rules and demanded that the government take back the land following which Fadnavis had ordered an inquiry. Rubbishing the charge of wrongdoing, Mumbai Congress unit president Sanjay Nirupam dubbed the announcement of the probe as a "political stunt". He said the municipal corporation gives two kinds of permission--residential and commercial-- and commercial permission had been obtained by AJL. Maintaining that the Congress does not want to use the land for residential purposes, he said only after construction work is complete one can say whether it is being used commercially or not. "It is too premature to allege that commercial activity is being undertaken on the land and the building coming up there," he said. A library and research centre as well as the facility for publication of the National Herald will be set up there, he added. Meanwhile, a Bhopal report said the building owned by AJL in the Madhya Pradesh capital is also facing legal trouble as the lease of the land on which it stands has not been renewed. In 2011, the Bhopal Development Authority (BDA) had issued a notice to AJL, which owns the building in the name of National Herald in Maharana Pratap Nagar Zone 1 area, asking it to vacate the land allotted to it as its lease had not been renewed. "A notice was served to AJL Bhopal in 2011 to vacate the land allotted to it as it was not renewd at that time," BDA CEO, Neeraj Vashishta said. The AJL allegedly sold portions of the building to a number of private persons who moved a local court demanding that they be made party to the case as they owned properties on the land. The civil court turned down their appeal following which they moved MP High Court, where the matter is pending, Vashistha added. The official clarified that the BDA has not issued any fresh notice to the AJL in the matter.

__label__cc	0.548925	0.451075	Tickets & Listings VIP Bookings Contact Club The Annual Classical Contact Tours Packages & Memberships Contact Fitness Bradley Gunn Raver's July Rave Review Event of the Month: Kappa Futur There are a few festivals that still remain on my raving bucket list, and Kappa Futur in Torino, Italy was one of the highest on the list, so the excitement levels were peaking and I was eager to be let loose within this fascinating industrial complex. Once you arrive you feel like you've stepped into a Sci-Fi metropolis and the feeling is quite surreal when you hear the thumping boom of the music bellowing from the incredible sound systems that are used for the 2 days of sun-soaked festivities. Italy is well known for producing many titans of dance music from Sam Paganini to Joseph Capriati and Marco Faroane. The home support turned out to provide great support as did thousands of others from around the world - and the feeling of togetherness within the festival showed exactly why there is no better part of the music scene than house and techno events. The Italians, in particular, are renowned for investing an unbelievable level of energy at any event they go to, and this was once again the case as they played a great role in ensuring that the atmosphere matched the performances of the artists. Sometimes events don't always live up to the hype of their promo videos but I can assure you that this is not the case with Kappa Futur Festival, as you become just a minuscule member in a sea of fanatic ravers. I was only visiting for one of the two days so I knew full well I would be making the most of my brief visit here, and I sprung straight into action immediately by immersing myself in the festivals regular guests The Martinez Brothers. My favourite part of seeing the Martinez Brothers wasn't actually during their impressive display, it came afterwards as I encountered them backstage and added them to the respectable and ever-growing catalogue of DJ dancing videos that I have been building. Although it was my first time visiting this spectacular country, I was massively honoured and taken aback by a kind individual who was staring right at me from within the crowd, arms out wide boasting a welcoming smile holding a homemade sign which clearly read: "Bradley Gunn Raver - do you wanna dance?". This was another significant moment in my Bradley Gunn Raver, and if I'm honest made me feel proud of the positive influence I am having on others by pushing my motto "love, life and rave". I wished that I was spending both days at Kappa Futur, and after thoroughly enjoying myself for the first day I was somewhat disappointed not to be seeing the likes of Pan-Pot, my good friend Seth Troxler, Adriqatique and others including Fatboy Slim who I have spent time with previously. Although I had to cut my trip short, I am intending on embarking on a two-day escapade next year and already cannot wait to be back. Night at the MusEEum Rewinding back to the start of the July now to one of the more obscure but fascinating venues I have had the pleasure of dancing in - the world famous London History Museum. This is normally a building you would visit if you were interested in anything from dinosaurs to human evolution, but for me and a fortunate select few we were part of a live stream being hosted by Eastern Electrics as part of their well-executed promotional campaign ahead of 2018's instalment of the festival. The stream witnessed Eats Everything & Skream, two of our countries most established homegrown talents going B2B and entertaining friends, family members and the keenest of mid-week ravers such as myself for a solid 2 hours of groovy, disco-tinged tracks. The chemistry between Eats Everything & Skream was evident from the get-go, and further demonstrated why they are two of the most respected names in the business. The vibe was nothing but positive throughout the entirety of their set, and I have no doubt that everyone in attendance will agree that we were all extremely lucky to be treated to a rare disco set as part of an intimate crowd in front of the most intact Stegosaurus fossil skeleton ever found. It was also great to see both Eats Everything & Skream's sons present for this too. July also marked my much-anticipated return to Cocoon In The Park, and after being impressed by 2017's instalment I knew that I wouldn't be disappointed. This year's party was more than just a yearly coming together for Sven and his team - 2018 was particularly special as it was a landmark 10 memorable years of Cocoon In The Park. You could tell the team were intending on delivering a mammoth event with three Fuse residents, Apollonia, the incredible Tale Of Us, my good friend Seth Troxler would be playing back-to-back with Craig Richards and last but not the least, Sven. You could tell that there had been a significant amount of attention to detail placed into curating the lineup. Whereas last year the eager side of me made arrive as early as possible, this time I made the pragmatic decision to conserve my energy and arrive later on. It's not that I don't enjoy warm up sets or the up and coming acts that are performing, I just knew that with how stellar the line up was for later on in the afternoon it made more sense to reserve myself temporarily. When I arrived Dan Ghenacia, Dyed Soundroom & Shonky showed exactly why Apollonia are so in demand internationally and are one of the main pillars of Circoloco's success, their track selection and mixing was of the highest order, which came as no surprise. Next up was my good friend Seth Troxler, who was going back-to-back with established artist Craig Richards, and their set with no bias or preference attached happened to be my favourite of the day's proceedings. They incorporated everything from vocal underground house to techno and disco, and it really stood out for me. Following straight on from them were champion duo Tale Of Us, bringing their melodic and progressive style to the table and this was a perfect way to set up Sven for his unreal extended set later on in the evening. Overall it was another memorable year at Cocoon In The Park, with a picturesque venue, impeccable sound system, a friendly crowd who are all their for the same reason and fantastic hospitality from everyone involved. However, what I particularly like about the event is their noble choice of there just being the one stage, and although some may criticise this and claim there's a lack of selection that you might get at other festivals, I realised that if the line up is assembled properly it isn't necessary. Plus look on the bright side, you don't have to face the issue of losing your friends every half an hour! The end of July marked another debut in the Bradley Gunn Raver calendar, and this time I would be heading over to Belgium to join a jaw-dropping fellow 400,000 ravers from all over the world as a party the fairy tale that has become known as 'Tomorrowland'. This was yet another event that I was extremely humbled to have been invited to be a part of, as anyone who has attempted to head over to the event will tell you - tickets are extremely difficult to obtain as individuals from most continents hastily snap them up to fulfil their dreams of telling others "I was there". This is without a doubt one of the biggest electronic dance music festivals ever created, and it was a difficult decision between this or Kappa Futur Festival when it came to crowning the event of the month. Most commentators or anyone generally involved in the music scene would admit to you that Tomorrowland tends to sway towards the more commercial spectrum of the dance music scene, but still accommodates for us underground music heads. With the main stage boasting spectacular props as part of their world class production setups and having artists including Carl Cox and Charlotte De Witte playing them, I knew immediately that this was going to be a weekend to remember and I didn't hesitate for a second in engrossing myself in the heavier techno that I had grown to love in recent years. After being treated to a master display by both Carl and Charlotte, I took the obvious opportunity in exploring the other hidden, magical parts of the festivals that were waiting to be discovered. With gargantuan firework displays, vibrant lights dazzling your eyes from all directions, a mouth-watering offering of different foods, beautiful eye-catching natural aspects of scenery that Belgium has to offer plus an endless list of unbelievable acts - it really wasn't difficult to see why this festival attracted an incredible few hundred thousand people year in year out and continued to grow. If you look back at 2009 in contrast to this year, you will notice from the photos captured how although the level of work and attention to detail from its first year is quality, year in year out as Tomorrowland has grown so has its investment in always looking at improving its reputation and offering something more to those that go to great lengths to be part of this enchanting journey. I'll be honest, I didn't want the fairy tale of Tomorrowland to conclude, and I was envious of those that would be attending the following weekend. We may only be seven months into the year but I'm already intrigued as to what the rest of this year and 2019 has in store, and I already have my sights set on what theme next years Tomorrowland is. Defected Motion Last but not least I was back on home turf at Motion in Bristol for Defected's day & night label party, and I was looking forward to getting involved once again with a brand that I have become more and more associated with in recent times. Head honcho Simon Dunmore was playing alongside fellow signees to his label, from the hugely in demand Camelphat to Franky Rizardo and Radio 1 DJ host Monki to name but a few. What always attracts me to Defected's events, in particular, is the fact that it still stands out amongst a largely saturated underground scene, and they implement a unique vibe with an amalgamation of more classic house records but still maintain that underground feel at times. It was also nice to be making a return to Motion as I have been absent for large parts of this year due to the opportunities I have understandably wanted to take overseas at international events. Once again as soon as I bumped into Jacky we wasted no time in making good use of the dancefloor, and it's a real pleasure to see how pleased Jacky is to see me whenever we are both at the same event together. We added another dancing video to the album, and I believe this is now our third one together after choreographing ones in the past at Forbidden Forest and funnily enough the last Defected party at Motion. Overall July was yet another month that was a gift that kept on giving, but there was no time to rest as I soon had festivals such as Boomtown to appear at and another huge trip overseas to complete. August was waiting for me, and I was ready to burst into the latter stages of 2018 and conclude summer as strong as I possibly could.

Photo cred - @jfsavaria for Montreal Ice Canoe Challenge Last year, a sport lost to the city of Montreal made it's return to the Saint Lawrence River after 20 years of absence: the Ice Canoe Challenge. Following the success of last year, ice canoeing is back, and will be tearing up the frozen St. Lawrence on February 21st. A traditional extreme sport practice almost exclusively in Quebec, ice canoeing is kind of like regular canoeing, just done in the harsh conditions of winter. Forty different teams will compete, all pushing/paddling a canoe over many kilometers on ice and in cold waters, which definitely gives the sport an "extreme" ranking in our books. The course for this year's Ice Canoe Challenge will be a tour of the Old Port, going from the Clock Tower, to the Alexandra Basin, then to Parc Jean-Drapeau. Spectactors will be right next to all the action, literally, as one unqiue aspect of the ice canoe race is just how close you can be to the racers. The whole thing will also be streamed online, for anyone who doesn't want to stand in the cold.

There is, however, a critical need to go beyond and consider constituencies as the units in the study of elections. result with molitics https://www.molitics.in/election/result Given the size and variations, parliamentary constituencies in India are fairly comparable even to the constituent states in federal states like Australia, Nigeria and even the US, among others. Chandigarh constituency has a territory of 114 sq kms and a population of approximately 1.2 million, and due to its predominantly middle class/upper caste character, offers a laboratory-like environment for a controlled study of elections in a limited geographical/human space. Centrally-appointed bureaucrats run this union territory. Governor of Punjab is the ex-officio chief administrator of the UT, assisted by his advisor, again a civil servant. The city forms the major part of the Lok Sabha constituency, but it has also its share of villages and semi-developed colonies, pathetic slums in the periphery – the latter inhabited by the ones who came to build this city from scratch – and migrant workers. Chandigarh became both a Lok Sabha constituency and union territory in 1966 and also the joint capital city of both Punjab and newly-created Haryana. Before that, it was an assembly constituency of Punjab. Chandigarh, unlike Delhi and Puducherry, now only has a municipal council and no legislative assembly. Councillors are dependent on the bureaucracy and belong to different factions headed by the BJP and the Congress city bosses.

__label__wiki	0.590859	0.590859	The lot 66 story On Friday 15th July it was publically announced that the application to subdivide 1 lot into 15 lots on Lot 66 was withdrawn. The final outcome of the 24.4 hectare (60 acre) block of land in the heart of Mission Beach which has been the subject of a high profile campaign, is still uncertain. The lot was bought at Auction in 2007 at the height of an economic upturn and a development application for a 40 lot sudivision was lodged ahead of the FNQ 2031 Regional Plan. In the development of the new state Plan, the importance of the fully covered remnant vegetation block connecting the World Heritage area to a large coastal lowland reserve was recognised and removed from the urban footprint. The Plan placed extra protection over rural areas by excluding good quality agricultural land from residential subdivision which triggered off a landslide of applications to beat the deadline. The result at Mission Beach has been a glut of real estate with a reported over 1100 house lots and 900 units approved with the majority now laying empty. Many of the subdivisions are now situated outside the urban footprint such as Lot 66 (if approved). An extensive report was tabled by Flanaghan Consultings Nigel Caffyn-Parson at the CCRC meeting on 16th December which stated there is enough housing for sale to cater for the next 100 years. Lot 66 is a prime example of how inconsistences in desired outcomes for land use arise as plans and policies are superceded on different levels of government. The 40 lot subdivision on Lot 66 was configured to maximise the number of lots regardless of the steep terrain, wetland or of the gazetted cassowary corridor (right top) dominating the entire block. The configuration would have destroyed the integrity of the currently relatively robust habitat corridor. The cassowary had been listed as endangered by both state and federal governments and the cassowary corridor had been identified in the Cardwell Shire Council Planning Scheme prior to the listing and sale of the property. Large tracks were cleared on the block which at one point encroached into the adjoining privately owned lot. It is a legal requirement under the EPBC Act to inform the federal government of any action that is likely to have an impact on a matter of national environment significance i e endangered species. The clearing was bought to the attention of the federal government and the development was refered for assessment 26 March 2008. The unprecedented escalation in development applications placed extra pressure on the already endangered cassowary population. Conservationists heightened their call for all levels of governments to exercise existing legistlation and increase protection of the essential cassowary habitat at Mission Beach. The Mayor of the Cassowary Coast Regional Council supports the protection of key lots at Mission Beach and has stated buyback may be the best option for Lot 66. On the 21July 2008 the then federal environment minister Peter Garrett made a landmark decision and found the development 'Clearly Unnacceptable', the first time for a minister to use the EPBC Act to veto a development since the Howard government amended the act in 2007. The importance of the block as a corrdior connecting fragmented habitat at Mission Beach is well documented in the many research documents written by cassowary expert Les Moore and in the most recent studies identifying habitat linkages in the Mission Beach area. Biotropica’s 2008 report on “Wongaling Beach Habitat Linkages, prepared for Terrain NRM, lists Habitat Linkage 6 as a primary linkage that “…. is considered the most significant linkage within the Wongaling area" and that its "...security rests entirely on achieving appropriate levels of protection for the very significant linkage habitat represented by Lot 66 SP164474" In recognition of the minister's decision, the habitat linkage is now known as 'Garrett Corridor' On the 24th August 2009 a second development proposal, scaled back to 26 lots, was referred to be assessed under the federal EPBC Act. Bob Irwin with Rainforest Rescue CEO Kelvin Davies Awareness of the threat to cassowary habitat at Mission Beach, and the call for buyback of Lot 66, attracted the attention of Rainforest Rescue who visited Mission Beach with high profile wildlife campaigner Bob Irwin in Nov 2009. Rainforest Rescue started fundraising with a Mission Beach Cassowaries appeal. During the development assessment process over the next two years the number of lots proposed was further reduced to 15. On Friday 15th July 2011the second Lot 66 development application referred for assessment under the EPBC Act was withdrawn. Petition now closed Support for buyback has been gathering. Meetings have been held with community groups, individuals and polititians. Information Flyers were distributed in late 2010, a petition was started asking the new environment minister Tony Burke to deny the development and commit significant funds for a buyback, and further meetings culminated in a Terrain initiated joint appeal to Ecofund for a buyback of Lot 66. Polititians, the community, many interest groups and individuals including the land owner are united in the call for Buyback for Lot 66. The latest proposal has been withdrawn but the developer has said he will continue to lodge new applications in an effort to recoup his investment. The application lodged ahead of the 2031 Plan with the local Council is also still current and to be determined against state legislation and local planning scheme. Lot 66 will not be secure from more habitat clearing until it is aquired and placed into National Park or equivalent, in perpetuity protection. A campaign is to be launched shortly to raise funds for the buyback of Lot 66 Connie Symons Am interested in helping Thanks Connie. The petition is still current and will be posting what further action can be taken as strategies to raise funds for buyback and further lobbying are developed. http://www.petitionbuzz.com/petitions/missioncassowaries ray ban link Lot 66 development application referred for assessment under the EPBC Act was withdrawn.	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0007.json.gz/line1618469
__label__wiki	0.903318	0.903318	Matt: MK Dons benefited from Spain camp Oakley recaps the trip to Murcia... Oakley reflects on Spain camp iFollow MK Dons speaks to Assistant Manager Matt Oakley after the team's training camp in Spain wrapped up with a friendly against FC Jumilla... mkdonsfc Assistant Manager Matt Oakley believes MK Dons benefited greatly from their six-day training camp in Spain. The side spent last week in the region of Murcia, continuing their preparations for the 2018/19 season with double training sessions and two friendlies against Spanish opposition. Oakley, who arrived at Stadium MK this summer along with Paul Tisdale and Mel Gwinnett, says plenty was accomplished during the week. “It was a great week,” he told iFollow MK Dons. “We’ve got a good group of players who are all moving forwards and taking things on board. “They had a tough couple of days at the start of the week and then the last three days were centred around them connecting with each other. What I like about this pre-season is that we’ve got players in early so that gives everyone a chance to get to know the group in time for the season. "It was a good time for them to bond and get to know each other. We tried to keep it interesting for them by giving them different sessions to do - we’ve been down to the beach, been on bikes and we’ve been in the pool – we now know who can swim and who can’t, who can ride a bike and who can’t! “They got minutes in too. In the games we changed the teams around and made it pretty fair for everyone in terms of minutes. We got through the third week with no serious injuries as well, which is great.” He added: “There is lots of work still to do within the team and lots of little details to focus on but the improvement I’ve seen with the team coming together in the last week is a big plus for us. “We are in [League 2] after a spiral of relegations so we need focus on sorting that out but the players are responding and learning, and that’s positive. I’m really pleased with the week and now we are all looking forward to the season.” MK Dons conclude their pre-season campaign this week at Stadium MK when they take on Ipswich Town and Oxford United in their final two summer friendlies. The games will provide the management team with two more opportunities to run the rule over the squad before the trip to Oldham Athletic on August 4th and while the previous matches were used to give players minutes, these upcoming fixtures will be focused on building a starting XI for game one. “Up until now we have kept it level and fair because we need to keep the squad going forwards and getting fit. “The squad will start to whittle down and you’ll see it forming to the starting XI. Those players will start playing 60 to75 minutes and then towards a 90 in the second game, getting ready for our first game of the season.” Here’s what else Matt Oakley had to say in his Spain recap with iFollow MK Dons… On the two friendlies… “We were disappointed to lose [on Friday] but it was in difficult circumstances with the way that these teams play over here – it’s completely different to League Two football. There was some quality about our play at times and there were improvements from our first two games, so that says to me that the players are taking thing on-board.” On the team being relatively healthy… “Coming into this pre-season tour the medical staff said that they usually have four or five players that drop out. Joe [Walsh] and Lawson [D’Ath] are coming back from long-term injuries so we kept them out for the games but they we will be building in [this] week. We’ve got a reasonably fit squad, apart from the three back at Stadium MK, so it’s very positive." MK Dons make their long-awaited return to Stadium MK this week when they take on both Ipswich Town and Oxford United in the space of three days.

Authorities are still trying to figure out the motive of the suspect accused of kidnapping 13-year-old Jayme Closs and murdering her parents at their home in Wisconsin. Closs was found Thursday, about 70 miles away from her home, after being held for 87 days by the alleged perpetrator, Jake Thomas Patterson. Authorities apprehended Patterson while he was out searching for Jayme soon after her escape. Police have not yet determined why Patterson targeted the Closs family. He was briefly employed at a meat products plant where Closs' parents were long-time employees, but authorities do not believe that Patterson had any contact with the family at that time. Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald commented on the lack of a motive, saying: "I don't understand it yet myself. That's the million-dollar question, is why." Closs was released from a Minnesota hospital on Friday and reunited with her aunt in Wisconsin. Sheriff Fitzgerald told CNN Closs was "doing great."	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0007.json.gz/line1618475

With my recurring monthly gift, I hope to provide the means to bestow upon New York City youth the gift my parents bestowed upon me: imagining the impossible as possible. Equal access to opportunity and a level playing field—two things that I believe every child deserves. Education offers an equalizer that can enable young minds to discover new ideas and shape their journey toward adulthood and life as a successful community member. I was blessed with parents that invested in my education and helped create the pathway for a young woman from rural Washington state to move to New York City in pursuit of her dreams of an Ivy League education and career in the Northeast. My parents instilled a generosity of spirit and commitment of giving back to help others, and as I transitioned into a new life and community, I wanted to find ways to give back. As a student at Barnard College, I participated in the America Reads program and worked with a sixth-grade class at a public school in Harlem. Working with those children remains one of the most impactful experiences of my collegiate career and something I carry with me today. During my 20 years as a “New Yorker”, I’ve attempted to find outlets where I can make a tangible impact and replicate some of the experiences I benefitted from in the community where I grew up. As my career continues to evolve, it remains more important to me than ever to help provide mentorship and educational opportunities for advancement—particularly for at-risk and underserved populations—which is why I am a staunch advocate and supporter of New York Cares and the work the organization does in the five boroughs. As a monthly donor for New York Cares, I provide funding allocated to educational opportunities for the students of New York City public schools, so they have access to arts programming, STEM initiatives, health and wellness practices, collegiate prep courses, and myriad other programming opportunities to foster the pathways of success. Who knows what might spark the next performing arts maestro, technology innovator, or global ambassador? With my recurring monthly gift, I hope to provide the means to bestow upon New York City youth the gift my parents bestowed upon me: imagining the impossible as possible.

__label__wiki	0.895199	0.895199	Giants CB Eli Apple proves scout wrong, can now make grilled cheese Updated Jun 5, 2017 ; Posted Jun 5, 2017 Giants cornerback Eli Apple Gallery: Giants cornerback Eli Apple By Dan Duggan \| NJ Advance Media for NJ.com EAST RUTHERFORD -- Giants cornerback Eli Apple was subject to one of the more bizarre criticisms leading up to last year's draft. "I worry about him because of off-the-field issues," an anonymous scout told the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel last April. "The kid has no life skills. At all. Can't cook. Just a baby. He's not first round for me. He scares me to death." Apple's lack of culinary skills didn't deter the Giants, who took the Ohio State cornerback with the No. 10 pick in last year's draft. Apple experienced the expected rookie growing pains, but he started 11 games and improved as the season progressed. Apple believes he'll be even better in Year 2 partly due to some dietary changes this offseason. The 21-year-old proudly announced that he can now make grilled cheese, but the bigger change has been cutting down on fried foods this offseason. "When I was (training) in Arizona, I got with the people out there to make sure that I didn't eat too many fast foods because I was out there by myself without my mom," Apple said. "But when I came back I had to talk with my mom. I had a conversation with her, like, 'Listen, we can't go with the fried chicken all the time.' We kind of made little changes there with the diet and her cooking." Why Giants' Brandon Marshall isn't concerned with being 'a little sore' at OTAs Marshall worked with youth football players on Saturday. The 6-foot-1 Apple said he added about 10 pounds of muscle this offseason. Now 204 pounds, he believes he's better equipped for physical battles with NFL receivers. "I think I'll be more comfortable out there," Apple said. "I'll be able to move faster and quicker. I'm already faster and just being stronger, being able to tackle more, just bigger running backs and stuff and being able to press bigger receivers." It raised eyebrows when Apple, who ran a 4.4-second 40-yard dash at last year's NFL Scouting Combine, said he's faster after adding the weight. But he said there's hard evidence to his claim, as players where GPS trackers during practice. "They track our speed and they said that the last practice I was out here for was the fastest I've ever moved since I've been here," Apple said. "So I'm getting a little faster." Apple has been slowed recently by minor soreness in his hamstring. He has sat out the past three OTA sessions, but said he hopes to return to the field either in the final four OTAs this week or in next week's three-day mandatory minicamp. Just as he is on the field, Apple is a work-in-progress in the kitchen. "That's something I'm trying to work on as well," Apple said. "Just taking a couple of classes. (His mother) helped me. I kind of just watch her a little bit, I don't watch too much because she's a good cook, but she could be a little bit better."

Rune Garborg, CEO of Vipps, comments: "We believe that this agreement will contribute to digitising all paper and email-based invoices in Norway. In the longer term, our ambition is to make the physical invoice obsolete. This partnership will create cost-savings for both corporates and consumers." Timely payments Nets is the provider of invoicing solution eFaktura, which Norwegians have had access to for several years, and many consumers are heavy users of online and mobile banking services. But now the time has come to step up the pace of payments digitisation. Frode Åsheim, Norway Country Director, Nets, elaborates: "Almost 180 million invoices are being delivered on paper or PDF in Norway every year. Consequently, many consumers forget to pay on time, creating cash flow issues for creditors. By combining the functionality of Vipps and eFaktura we are reaching more consumers, particularly young people." Putting consumers in charge The partnership will enable consumers to pay all digital invoices and bills in Vipps or through online and mobile banking, including those previously only available in the Vipps app. Consumers will be able to receive even more invoices digitally, already filled out with relevant account details and the amount to be paid – increasing convenience for the consumer and the likelihood of timely payment. Åsheim continues: "We want to make payments more convenient and enable consumers to receive bills and invoices on their preferred platform. Combining Vipps and eFaktura will empower digital consumers by providing them with an overview of their finances. This is a significant improvement on today, as currently consumers receive bills on paper, via email, or through Vipps or eFaktura, depending on which solution the invoicing business uses." Garborg adds: "All digital invoices that are today provided in eFaktura or Vipps Regning will be available as Vipps eFaktura. The consumer decides how to pay their digital invoices and bills, be it in Vipps, through online banking, mobile banking or other connected digital channels. Consumers will also have access to a full overview of all invoices paid across these channels in their online banking account, including those paid in the Vipps app." No need for new integration Despite the differences to the front-end of the solution, the flow of digital invoices in the back-end will remain unchanged. This mean that banks, corporates and suppliers will not have to update their systems and integrations when implementing the new solution. More than 3.2 million Norwegians use Vipps and around 2.6 million use eFaktura, which distributes approximately 100 million invoices each year. About Vipps: The story about Vipps is really like a small fairy tale. Over the course of six months our app was downloaded more than one million times and in three years-time we have become a household brand in Norway. With 3,2 million users Vipps has become a natural part of the Norwegians everyday payment life. We have become a verb which is quite cool. We started as a P2P payment service and have since launched payment solutions for billing, online payments, invoicing and in-store payments. Recently we merged with leading players within payment and e-signing services, BankAxept and BankID, and together we now develop services for both Norwegian and international users. About the Nets Group At Nets, we see easier payment solutions as the foundation for growth and progress – both in commerce and society.

__label__wiki	0.732554	0.732554	Former Investor Sues Ponzi Crypto Coin OneCoin James Ricci May 8, 2019 A former investor filed a class action suit against the infamous cryptocurrency Ponzi scheme OneCoin recently. The suit, while filed by one person, was on behalf of every person who was robbed of their money which amounted to nearly four billion dollars. The suit says, “This is a class action on behalf of a class of investors consisting of all individuals and entities who transferred to ONECOIN LTD. any fiat currency or cryptocurrency to invest in a purported digital cryptocurrency called “OneCoin” and who suffered financial injury as a result thereof. Upon information and belief, the financial harm caused by ONECOIN LTD.’s fraudulent investment program exceeds Four Billion Dollars ($4,000,000,000.00).” The suit further added that, despite the fancy sounding jargon and technical sophistication, the scam was pretty old-fashioned to its core. Victims were conned into joining the OneCoin trader packages and memberships by promoters, and then the company would pay money to the new investors from the old investors. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Assistant Director-in-Charge William Sweeney, Jr said, “OneCoin was a cryptocurrency existing only in the minds of its creators and their co-conspirators. Unlike authentic cryptocurrencies, which maintain records of their investors’ transaction history, OneCoin had no real value. It offered investors no method of tracing their money, and it could not be used to purchase anything. In fact, the only ones who stood to benefit from its existence were its founders and co-conspirators.” Interestingly, this is not the first time, this coin has gotten in trouble. In October last year, the Thailand Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) had warned the public against nine ICOs that had not applied for approval but had been attempting to promote and solicit investors on social media platforms such as Facebook and YouTube. They consisted of five tokens and four ICOs. The tokens included, Every coin, Orientum coin, Onecoin and OFC coin, Tripxchain coin, and TUC coin.

__label__wiki	0.855911	0.855911	The media column - Peter Wilby The <em>Times</em> particularly favours writers who claim to be left-wing but hold no discernible le Follow @@wilbypeter Tony Blair's troubles get worse. The Blairite apologist Stephen Pollard has joined the deserters. Pollard is one of those mysterious commentators - Oliver Kamm is another - who claim to be left-wing but hold no discernible left-wing views. Such writers are particularly favoured by the Times, presumably because they allow Rupert Murdoch to have his cake and eat it: he stays onside with the party in power by giving space to its alleged supporters, but keeps his papers ideologically on the right. Pollard has long hailed Blair as the ideal Labour leader because he favours wealth creation and competition. That may sound like a Tory to you and me, but let it pass. He and Kamm both voted Labour in last year's election because they saw it as "a referendum on the veracity, judgement and ethics of the Prime Minister". Pollard used to be an NS contributor. Then we ran a cover headed "Dictator of Downing Street", with a picture of Blair made up to look like Stalin. It was to illustrate a piece by the Oxford historian Robert Service, who drew a parallel between the PM's governing style and that of the Soviet dictator, though obviously not between the numbers they had murdered. Pollard said that, after this disgusting calumny, he would never darken our pages again. I (then editor) replied that I was sorry he had become so pompous. A few years earlier, he had used the first letter of each paragraph in his final Express column to spell out a rude message to the paper's proprietor, Richard Desmond. He was due to join the Times staff as a leader writer but this was considered inappropriate conduct for such an august position, and Pollard had to resign before he started. Now this admirable mischief-maker was denouncing my mischief. Yet his latest piece, in last Monday's Daily Mail, compared Blair to Richard Nixon - not Stalin, admittedly, but bad enough. The cash-for-honours affair is unfolding rather as Watergate did, he argued: trivial misdemeanours by people of slight importance lead to a scandal that engulfs the top man. Blair, wrote Pollard, was "up to his neck" in it, and held "the country in contempt". It is as if Eva Braun had deserted Hitler (just kidding, Stephen). The Prime Minister has some crumbs of comfort, however. After a brief wobble, his hagiographer John Rentoul, of the Independent on Sunday, is back onside. The honours business is just a "media hoopla" he informs us, and Blair's main problem is "to hold off the growing weight of our abiding culture of cynicism". More importantly, Irwin Stelzer (aka Rupert Murdoch thinking aloud) seems to have hardened on his doubts about Gordon Brown. The Chancellor's latest Budget showed that he will use "any conceivable excuse to expand the reach of government", Stelzer wrote in the Guardian on Tuesday. Blair had "an obligation" to stay, he argued. Moreover, the Murdoch court clearly hasn't given up hope that a credible new Labour alternative to Brown will emerge or that David Cameron will (as those who disapprove of such youthful frivolities as saving the planet put it) mature. Either could happen, Stelzer suggested, if Blair stays long enough. I shall not quarrel with the Euston Manifesto, launched in the NS last week. Its list of supporters, combining the passion of Nick Cohen with the intellect of John Lloyd and the wit of Francis Wheen, is enough to daunt any criticism. They seem to say it was OK for me to be against the Iraq war - though I shouldn't, apparently, go on about it - so I may even sign up. But I am fascinated by their belief that their views are "significantly under-represented in the mainstream media" and, indeed, "at dinner tables". As I don't get out much these days, I can't speak for the dinner tables, though I am surprised that, even in Islington, these should require BBC-style political balance. On the media, however, it seems odd for people who have columns almost everywhere (Cohen, Wheen and Lloyd all appear regularly in the London Evening Standard, as well as elsewhere) to complain they feel "isolated". The claim of unfair media treatment is a comfort blanket. The American right argues that the media in the US are dominated by "liberals"; the American left that they are full of White House lackeys. No British government I can remember thought the BBC gave it a fair hearing. New Labour insists it has no true supporters in the national press. James Delingpole, of the Telegraph/Spectator stable, has made a cottage industry out of claiming he hardly dare reveal his "unfashionable" right-wing views. My fellow NS columnist John Pilger swears the media suppress news of western atrocities and marginalise views like his; I have written in his support. I still think Pilger has the better case. But we are all a bit like footballers griping about biased referees. Shouldn't we drop it, and just get on with the arguments? Peter Wilby was editor of the Independent on Sunday from 1995 to 1996 and of the New Statesman from 1998 to 2005. He writes the weekly First Thoughts column for the NS.

The 2018 MXGP season ends this weekend at Imola and the Kawasaki Racing Team and Monster Energy are pleased to announce the renewal of their partnership to challenge for the title next year. The Kawasaki Racing Team and Monster Energy joined forces five years ago in the FIM MXGP Motocross World Championship, and they have already achieved impressive results including a leading role in the French team victory at the 2014 Motocross of Nations, seven MXGP wins and more than twenty podiums. Clement Desalle, holding third in the 2018 series entering the final round, has delivered his best results since joining the team with eight podiums and an overall GP victory in Russia this season. Long-time partners in the US series with KHI and Pro Circuit, Kawasaki and Monster Energy have claimed many titles in the Supercross and Motocross series, and joining KRT five years ago was the logical step to build an even stronger worldwide partnership between the ‘black and green’ companies which also share the same winning spirit in World Superbike. Next season Belgian riders Clement Desalle and Julien Lieber will again be working closely with the team to develop the new KX450, and put the bike on the podium as often as possible during the twenty rounds of the highly competitive MXGP series. Mitch Covington (Monster Energy): “Monster is proud to continue with the Kawasaki Racing Team; Thierry has been a solid partner with Monster for a long time and we appreciate his passion for the sport and excellent team to represent Monster Energy.” Steve Guttridge (Kawasaki Motors Europe): “The news that we will be continuing the great partnership and relationship with Monster Energy and our Factory MXGP team is very much appreciated by all at Kawasaki. The hard work that the team and KHI have put into this season again on the KX450F-SR means that Clement remains the only rider in the class to have won a GP by beating both the defending and new world champions! The level of competition in MXGP is incredibly high but, with Monster Energy’s support confirmed, we will continue to build the strongest possible foundations with the factory and, now utilising the all-new KX450, that will give our KRT riders the best chance to challenge for the MXGP title again in 2019.” Thierry Chizat Suzzoni (KRT): “We are of course very happy to continue our partnership with Monster Energy; we have been working together for five years now and we have shared some great moments together, especially this year as Clement Desalle got top results with eight podiums and a GP win. We have a strong relationship with Monster; they see every year our investment with partners such as KHI or Pro Circuit to get even better results in the MXGP class and I would like to thank Mitch and the Monster staff for their commitment with us.” « MAX ANSTIE SIGNS FOR MXGP 2019!

__label__cc	0.641089	0.358911	Cabbies in crisis: City must act to end taxi turmoil Cure yellow fever. (PeskyMonkey / Getty Images / Getty Images) Because predatory loans trapped them into impossible terms, because city and state regulators fell asleep at the wheel, because Uber cars then flooded the market, the once-wildly-inflated values of yellow taxi medallions cratered, leaving lives in ruin. It is too late to save the tragic drivers who’ve faced financial ruin and taken their own lives. The rest of the driver-owners who got stuck in the undertow need and deserve help. Last week, in response to revelations of negligence by the city’s Taxi & Limousine Commission (and others), the City Council held hearings on a package of bills to sharpen taxi industry oversight. Well and good. Far more pressing is what to do to aid the estimated 2,500 driver-owners facing foreclosure or bankruptcy right here and now. As this page has urged, the city should create a bailout fund, perhaps using a portion of the $2.50 per-ride Manhattan congestion fee levied on yellow passengers, to help drivers get back on the road to financial solvency. Don’t help the medallion speculators; don’t help unscrupulous lenders. Do find a way to write down medallion loans of those who got suckered, to reflect their decreased value, and provide debt relief to drivers. At last week’s hearing, Council members showed advertisements and newsletters in which the city, which profited handsomely off medallion sales for years, promoted them as a safe investment for drivers, a “worry free” ticket to the middle class for industrious, poor, mostly immigrant New Yorkers. That was a dereliction of duty. The city must now help make it right.	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0007.json.gz/line1618500
__label__wiki	0.524419	0.524419	This is what great film festivals… are all about – a glimpse of top-notch emerging talent that very well may take over Hollywood in the decade or two to come. Michael Agresta, Austin Chronicle Operation Avalanche 2016 Directed by Matt Johnson Everyone knows the moon-landing was faked for the television cameras, but nobody had quite so much evidence before actor/director Matt Johnson uncovered this astounding behind-the-scenes footage, starring himself. USA • In English 95 minutes • DCP Josh Boles Andy Appelle Jared Raab Curt Lobb Chris Crane Megan Oppenheimer Jay McCarrol Ray James Sharon Belle Kirsta Madison Joe J. Thomas Tom Bolton Johnny Osmorkrovic Let’s be honest: we’re all a bit over the faux documentary sub-genre. So let’s hear it for Canadian Matt Johnson with his devilishly clever cinephile meta-take on the Apollo Moon landing. It’s 1967, the height of the cold war, and the CIA suspects a Russian mole is inside NASA sabotaging the programme. Two chipper young agents, disguised as filmmakers capturing NASA’s race to the moon, are sent to uncover the mole. They uncover something more shocking than any Russian spy. Suddenly the agents are in way over their heads as they scramble to help save the USA’s credibility. Before too long guns start blazing alongside incredible one-shot car chases, as the influence of Stanley Kubrick may or may not come into this high-concept paranoid thriller. The major achievement in this at times very funny quasi-fictional-doco is the technically impressive and seamless integration of all the kinds of footage used, and the ballsy fact that Johnson and co actually fooled NASA in a cunning meta-squared move. They got into the real NASA by saying they were filming for a student film about the making of a making of a making… okay my head hurts now… just come and see this very smart film. — AT Michael Shannon, Joel Edgerton, Adam Driver, Kirsten Dunst and newcomer Jaeden Lieberher star in this dazzling, genre-defying sci-fi/chase movie from the director of Mud and Take Shelter. In Ben Wheatley's ambitious, wildly disorienting adaptation of the J.G. Ballard novel, tenants of a high-tech skyscraper slip into a literal class war. Starring Tom Hiddleston, Jeremy Irons, Sienna Miller and Elisabeth Moss.	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0007.json.gz/line1618501

__label__cc	0.648271	0.351729	GMS relocates from Mussafah to Zayed Port Gulf Marine Services (GMS), a provider of liftboats for the international oil and gas industry, has signed a contract with Abu Dhabi Ports to create a facility at Zayed Port where GMS will construct and maintain its offshore support vessels. Zayed Port in Abu Dhabi city will lease the new facility to GMS for three years. GMS’s construction and maintenance yard is currently located in Mussafah, Abu Dhabi. According to a statement by Abu Dhabi Ports, the relocation to Zayed Port will bring substantial benefits to GMS as the new site is double the size, increasing the yard to 42,500 sq. ft. “This larger capacity will allow GMS to bring subcontracted fabrication work in-house, generating cost savings for both GMS and its clients. The location of Zayed Port is operationally more efficient being closer to the channel, with access to the sea requiring just one day’s passage instead of up to six days required from Mussafah due to tidal conditions. All vessel construction, repairs and mobilisations will be carried out from the new yard,” Abu Dhabi Ports said in a release. The move will be phased between now and March 2016 when the company’s latest new build vessel, GMS Sharqi, is scheduled for completion at the Zayed Port site. GMS’ head office will remain in Mussafah and the yard there will continue to be used for supplementary purposes. “GMS’ new facility at Zayed Port is the latest extension of Abu Dhabi Ports’ significant services to the exploration and production sector, which is vital to the economy of the UAE and the region. Zayed Port and two adjoining ports―Free port and New Freeport―are playing a major role in the important services to this crucial sector,” said Captain Mohamed Juma Al Shamisi, CEO of Abu Dhabi Ports. Duncan Anderson, CEO of GMS, said: “GMS is very pleased to be entering a new partnership with Abu Dhabi Ports. We have been very busy at our current yard, having increased our SESV fleet size from nine to 13 vessels since 2014; by the end of 2016 we will have added another two vessels. We were searching for a new location that would allow us to continue our business strategy to grow our fleet and operations and to make further improvements to our build process, while offering competitive and flexible offshore support solutions to our national and international oil and gas clients. The first class facilities at our new Zayed Port site will allow us to do just that, and there is excellent potential for our future operational requirements.” Posted on December 28, 2015 with tags GMS.

They say the efforts to restore the damaged Notre Dame cathedral are eclipsing their demands. Yellow Vest Protesters Fueled By Anger Over Notre Dame Funds March In Paris April 20, 20191:12 PM ET Samantha Raphelson Yellow vest protesters marched — and set fires — Saturday in Paris to remind the government that rebuilding the fire-ravaged Notre Dame Cathedral isn't the only problem the nation needs to solve. Francisco Seco/AP hide caption Francisco Seco/AP Yellow vest protesters marched — and set fires — Saturday in Paris to remind the government that rebuilding the fire-ravaged Notre Dame Cathedral isn't the only problem the nation needs to solve. Yellow vest protests grew violent on Saturday as firefighters battled several fires amid clouds of tear gas in eastern Paris. Protesters set ablaze a car, motorbikes and barricades near the Place de la République as they took to the streets of Paris and other French cities for the 23rd Saturday in a row, The Associated Press reported. This time they say they are outraged the government could raise more than a billion dollars to help restore the burned Notre Dame cathedral while their demands to fight wealth inequality remain overlooked. By late afternoon, police were firing tear gas and water cannons to disperse a tense crowd of several thousand people around France's finance ministry. Firefighters acted fast to put out several small fires in the area. NPR's Eleanor Beardsley reports from the scene that emergency personnel carried out the wounded on stretchers. French police detained 189 people and took 110 into custody. The Interior Ministry says there were 6,700 protesters in Paris and more than 10,000 across the country. Activists have marched in the streets every Saturday since November urging French President Emmanuel Macron to respond to a social crisis that has crippled the working class and elderly in France. Protesters were banned from the Île de la Cité, the site of Notre Dame, and other major thoroughfares in the city. Some 60,000 police officers were dispatched across the country. Protesters are calling Saturday's demonstrations their "second ultimatum" against Macron and his government. The night Notre Dame caught fire, Macron canceled a speech to propose solutions to the Yellow Vest movement. He is expected to hold a press conference on Thursday. While the number of protesters have dwindled in recent weeks, French officials had warned that the marches could attract more protesters following the shock and sadness of the Notre Dame fire. Many protesters were set off by how quickly French billionaires pledged funds to restore the damaged cathedral, while many working class people in France struggle to pay their bills. Correction April 20, 2019 An earlier version of this story misspelled Emmanuel Macron's first name as Emanuel. The story has also been updated to clarify that 60,000 police officers were dispatched across France, not Paris.	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0007.json.gz/line1618510

Approved Online Legal Education Programs Member Benefits NALS Certification Program - Testimonials National Certification Exams Join NALS! NALS Legal Training Courses Online Exams: The Process Why should I obtain a national certification as a legal support professional? For legal assistants, legal secretaries, and paralegals, professional certifications have become the standard of excellence that many employers demand. NALS certification exams provide a standardized assessment of your knowledge and abilities. Earning and maintaining your professional certification demonstrates to your prospective employers, colleagues and clients, that you are competent and capable. Are NALS certification exams recognized by any other associations? Yes! NALS is recognized by the American Bar Association (ABA) and numerous government and academic institutions. Do I need a national certification to become a legal support professional? Professional certifications for legal support professionals are entirely voluntary. In fact, many legal support professionals have enjoyed very long, successful careers without ever earning a professional designation. However, earning a nationally recognized credential is a sound investment and a great way to distinguish yourself within the legal support industry. Do I need to prepare for NALS national certification exams? National certifications, in any field, require thorough preparation. Our exam candidates often engage in our free national study hall series or engage in a study group with NALS members at the state or local level. The benefits of being nationally certified can outweigh the demands of preparing for our exams. In addition to achieving your personal goal, passing a NALS certification exam can lead to a plethora of opportunities: promotions, increased salaries, job opportunities, and recognition by your superiors, colleagues,and the legal support industry. Is your national certification the same as earning a certificate from an academic institution? Our national certification exams are NOT the same as a paralegal certificate you would earn by taking courses through an institute of academia (e.g., college, university, or technical institute, etc.…). Academic certificates denote that you, the recipient, have attended the requisite courses and obtained the necessary credit hours in a subject or field of study. For some institutions, earning a certificate in legal studies requires minimal credit hours (e.g., twelve to fifteen) to earn a certificate. While these certificates are an academic achievement in and of themselves, they do not demonstrate that you have mastered the concepts or skills required to be a legal support professional. What is the career outlook & projected growth for the legal support industry? The following information was developed by The Bureau of Labor Statistics. Please visit HERE for information regarding sources and studies. Employment of paralegals and legal assistants is projected to grow 15 percent from 2016 to 2026, much faster than the average for all occupations. As law firms try to increase the efficiency of legal services and reduce their costs, they are expected to hire more paralegals and legal assistants. In these cases, paralegals and legal assistants can take on a “hybrid” role within the firm, performing not only traditional paralegal duties but also some of the tasks previously assigned to legal secretaries or other legal support workers. Law firms also are attempting to reduce billing costs as clients push for less expensive legal services. Due to their lower billing rates to clients, paralegals can be a less costly alternative to lawyers, performing a wide variety of tasks once done by entry-level lawyers. This should cause an increase in demand for paralegals and legal assistants. Although law firms will continue to be the largest employers of paralegals, many large corporations are increasing their in-house legal departments to cut costs. For many companies, the high cost of outside counsel makes it more economical to have an in-house legal department. This will lead to an increase in the demand for legal workers in a variety of settings, such as finance and insurance firms, consulting firms, and healthcare providers. Due to the rise of electronic discovery, formally trained paralegals with strong computer and database management skills should have the best job prospects.

The median annual wage for paralegals and legal assistants was $50,410 in May 2017. The median wage is the wage at which half the workers in an occupation earned more than that amount and half earned less. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $31,130, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $81,180. In May 2017, the median annual wages for paralegals and legal assistants in the top industries in which they worked were as follows: Local government, excluding education and hospitals State government, excluding education and hospitals Most paralegals and legal assistants work full time.

Boucher HW1, Talbot GH, Bradley JS, Edwards JE, Gilbert D, Rice LB, Scheld M, Spellberg B, Bartlett J. Division of Geographic Medicine and Infectious Diseases, Tufts University and Tufts Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts 02111, USA. hboucher@tuftsmedicalcenter.org The Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) continues to view with concern the lean pipeline for novel therapeutics to treat drug-resistant infections, especially those caused by gram-negative pathogens. Infections now occur that are resistant to all current antibacterial options. Although the IDSA is encouraged by the prospect of success for some agents currently in preclinical development, there is an urgent, immediate need for new agents with activity against these panresistant organisms. There is no evidence that this need will be met in the foreseeable future. Furthermore, we remain concerned that the infrastructure for discovering and developing new antibacterials continues to stagnate, thereby risking the future pipeline of antibacterial drugs. The IDSA proposed solutions in its 2004 policy report, "Bad Bugs, No Drugs: As Antibiotic R&D Stagnates, a Public Health Crisis Brews," and recently issued a "Call to Action" to provide an update on the scope of the problem and the proposed solutions. A primary objective of these periodic reports is to encourage a community and legislative response to establish greater financial parity between the antimicrobial development and the development of other drugs. Although recent actions of the Food and Drug Administration and the 110th US Congress present a glimmer of hope, significant uncertainly remains. Now, more than ever, it is essential to create a robust and sustainable antibacterial research and development infrastructure--one that can respond to current antibacterial resistance now and anticipate evolving resistance. This challenge requires that industry, academia, the National Institutes of Health, the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the US Department of Defense, and the new Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority at the Department of Health and Human Services work productively together. This report provides an update on potentially effective antibacterial drugs in the late-stage development pipeline, in the hope of encouraging such collaborative action. Bad bugs, no drugs: no ESCAPE revisited.

__label__wiki	0.709659	0.709659	Fayose lambasts Bishop who said he wasted four years as Ekiti governor Posted by Odey Owojela on October 29, 2018 Former Governor of Ekiti State, Ayodele Fayose, on Monday advised the Anglican Bishop of Ekiti Diocese, Rt. Rev. Christopher Omotunde to remove the cassock and mount the soap box so that the whole world would know that he has joined politics. Fayose, who stated this through his Chief Press Secretary, Mr Idowu Adelusi, was reacting to a statement by the Anglican Bishop describing Fayose’s tenure as a waste and non-beneficial to Ekiti people. Adelusi said only a cleric trying to justify the blatant rigging of the last Ekiti governorship election by the All Progressives Congress (APC) would describe the physical transformation of Ekiti State by the Fayose administration as a waste. His statement reads, “Even the blind feels the good works of Fayose and perhaps Bishop Omotunde and the likes need to change their eye glasses to see well. “Our fathers have a saying that it is disheartening when one hears a statement of gullibility from a place where one expects to hear the words of wisdom. “The records of the Fayose administration are there for all to see. It organised an Education Summit that led to great improvement in education in the state. “Ekiti came first back-to-back in NECO exams and we also did well in WAEC. These are public institutions and the records are there for Omotunde to peruse. “The Fayose administration built the first flyover in the state and it passes besides Omotunde’s church. One wonders if the bishop closes his eyes whenever he drives or passes through that place. If he does not, we pray that God opens his spiritual eyes. “The Fayose government built a new high court complex, a new Governor’s Office, a new Oja’ba Market; dualised roads in Ise, Emure, Ikole, Omuo, Ijero, Efon, among others. “It also dualized the Ado-Ikere road, built many roads in Ado itself such as Petim- Afao Road and Dehead- Police Headquarters Road. May be the bishop does not pass through these roads! “Accreditation for various courses in EKSU, School of Nursing, and College of Health Technology was pursued and achieved by the administration. We can go on and list many other achievements in agriculture, health, social welfare and other sectors. “Yearly, the Fayose administrstion recognised hard-working teachers and civil servants with car prizes and other gifts. Within four years, it was promotion galore for civil servants. Civil servants and teachers will not agree with the untenable and jaundiced position of Omotunde. “The Ekiti people who Fayose served for almost eight years know that his time was a great blessing to them, which is why they call him the architect of modern Ekiti. “Bishop Omotunde should remove his priest’s garment and mount the soap box if he is minded to be this politically partisan.” “He said Fayose’s opposition to Buhari administration did not allow Ekiti to benefit anything from the centre. “Assuming that was the case, it only confirmed President Muhammadu Buhari as an autocrat who must not be criticised, and not a democrat who should take criticisms in his stride. “We make bold to say that Ekiti under Fayose and PDP has witnessed more economic and physical development in the last four years when compared to neighbouring APC-controlled states which have openly venerated President Buhari as their god-father. “What has Ondo, Osun, Oyo, Ogun benefitted from the Federal Government? What has even Lagos, where the APC national leader comes from, benefitted? “In terms of peace and security, Ekiti under Fayose was peaceful; it was secured from herdsmen attacks, assassinations, and armed robbery opreations. These and politically-motivated killings have returned in full swing under Fayemi/APC.”	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0007.json.gz/line1618530

__label__wiki	0.937982	0.937982	Unemployment more important than terror, says Rahul Gandhi after key Congress meet \| Updated: Tuesday, March 12, 2019, 16:19 [IST] Ahmedabad, Mar 12: Gearing up for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, the Congress Working Committee (CWC) on Tuesday held a meeting in Ahmedabad, Gujarat Prime Minister Narendra Modi's home state to give a final shape to its poll strategy. Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, who has been given the charge of the party's fortune in 41 constituencies of Uttar Pradesh, will address the CWC for the first time. The day-long meeting of the Congress Working Committee (CWC), the party's highest decision-making body, assumes significance as it comes barely two days after declaration of poll schedule for the general elections. Lok Sabha Elections 2019: BJP meet on Mar 18 to finalise candidates The Congress is seeking to give a strong political message to the entire nation from the land of Mahatma Gandhi and Sardar Patel, with the party leadership scheduled to hold a prayer meeting Sabarmati Gandhi Ashram in Ahmedabad, followed by the CWC meet at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel national memorial there. The CWC meeting is being held in Gujarat after a gap of 58 years. It was last held in the state at Bhavnagar in 1961. Congress CWC meet Highlights "We will focus on unemployment and not terror. Terror is not the main issue for the 2019 polls," Rahul Gandhi was reported by News18 has having said. Patidar leader Hardik Patel joins Congress in presence of Rahul Gandhi. “Congress reaffirms its fight to uphold values espoused by Gandhiji and fellow freedom fighters of an inclusive India,” says Congress leader Anand Sharma after CWC meeting. The meeting of Central Election Committee of Congress party will be held on 14 March at the residence of UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi in Delhi, according to ANI. “PM Modi plays the victim card, but the people of this country are the real victims of his policies,” says UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi at CWC meeting, stresses the need to move forward with a new vision. Former Prime Minister Manmohan Singh called for highlighting UPA achievements during the Lok Sabha election campaigning. “No sacrifice is too great in this endeavour; no effort too little; this battle will be won,” Gandhi wrote on Twitter following the Congress strategy meet. Congress President Rahul Gandhi who chaired a meeting today of the party's highest policy-making body in Gujarat's Ahmedabad tweeted that the party had "resolved to defeat the RSS/ BJP ideology of fascism, hatred", saying the "this battle will be won". Sonia Gandhi hits out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the CWC meet in Ahemdabad. Patidar leader Hardik Patel, who shot to fame by spearheading a quota stir in the state and is set to fight the Lok Sabha polls, will also join Congress at the meeting in presence of the party chief Rahul Gandhi. He has arrived at the Ahmedabad CWC venue. CWC meeting begins, Rahul Gandhi, party leaders discuss Lok Sabha elections. Prayer meeting ends at Sabarmati Ashram. Congress members leave for CWC meeting. Besides, 2019 is also being celebrated as the 150th birth anniversary year of the Father of the Nation.

The party has been alleging that Modi has "fooled" the people with his "false propaganda" and "boastful claims" and has not delivered on his promises. It has also alleged that the Modi government has inflicted pain and misery on the poor, the unemployed and the farmers during its five years of power, which needs to be made an election issue. After the CWC meeting, senior Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi, UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and former prime minister Manmohan Singh, as well as current and former party chief ministers will attend the 'Jan Sankalp' rally'. The Congress leaders feel that the party needs to demand answers from the prime minister on status of the promises made by him five years ago and on his governance track record. Reports said the party will issue a statement after the CWC, covering all these issues. The party is of the view that the narrative for the general elections needs to be steered towards real issues and problems confronting people of the country, from what its leaders see as the "propaganda" plank of the current regime, especially after Pulwama attack and subsequent air strike on terror camps in Pakistan. The party leaders will also discuss ways to corner Modi and his government on issues of governance, agrarian and economic crisis, unemployment and lack of job creation, national security and women safety. Top Congress leadership, led by Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and former prime minister Manmohan Singh, and other senior leaders will deliberate on key issues for the national elections beginning April 11. Besides giving final shape to its Lok Sabha election strategy, the party will demand answers from Prime Minister Modi and the BJP on what they call "failures" and "unfulfilled" promises of the government. The party will also hold a public meeting in Adalaj in Gandhinagar district of Gujarat with the slogan of "Jai Jawan, Jai Kisan". Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra is also likely to address this meeting in her first public rally after entering politics. Congress is all set to launch its 2019 Lok Sabha poll campaign from Prime Minister Narendra Modi's bastion Gujarat today.

This is the biggest attack in the Valley, following the Pulwama strike that was carried out by the Jaish-e-Mohammad. It may be recalled that the AuM had in 2016 claimed responsibility for the attack on the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) jawans in 2016. The latest attack at Anantnag shows that the outfit is in revival mode. Al-Qaeda names Hameed Lelhari as its new chief in the Valley The outfit was formed in the year 1989 by one Mushtaq Ahmad Zargar. It may be recalled that he was one of the terrorists who was released in 1999 in exchange for the passengers on IC 814. The case is popularly known as the Kandahar hijack case. Zargar who initially had good relations with the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front fell out with the outfit. He then went on to form the AuM with the help of a Srinagar based cleric Maulvi Umar Farooq. The outfit has its presence in Srinagar, Baramulla, Pulwama, Jammu and Kashmir and Muzaffarabad in Pakistan occupied Kashmir. The outfit has its headquarters at Narul in Muzaffarabad. The AuM was banned by the government of India under the Prevention of Terrorism Act 2002. The mushrooming of this outfit takes place in the wake of a crucial hearing for Pakistan at the Financial Action Task Force. This also comes in the wake of the United Nations listing Jaish-e-Mohammad chief, Maulana Masood Azhar. Girlfriends, fancy clothes, gadgets: Why many Hizbul terrorists pick the gun In the wake of these developments, Pakistan had advised several of its terrorists including Azhar and Lashkar-e-Tayiba boss, Hafiz Saeed to lie low. Intelligence Bureau officials says that the sudden emergence of the AuM could be seen in the wake of these developments. Although Pakistan claims that it is dismantling the terror set ups on its soil, the fact of the matter is that it cannot let the Kashmir issue stay quiet. The AuM has been sanctioned a hit by the Pakistan army and the ISI only in the wake of the establishment asking the JeM and Lashkar to lie low.

__label__cc	0.67605	0.32395	By David Kamioner · July 9, 2019 Billionaire hedge fund manager and Dem donor (He donated $10,000 to the DCCC in 2018. Much more before that.) Jeffrey Epstein has been indicted for sex trafficking involving minors. You’ve already read that elsewhere. You also probably have read that former President Bill Clinton has taken many trips aboard Epstein’s flying violation of The Mann Act, the “Lolita Express.” But this isn’t the total extent of Dem establishment player involvement in this kind of thing. Not even close. Famed Dem attorney, though a sane one, Alan Dershowitz is implicated in this affair. Nancy Pelosi’s daughter Christine, herself a Dem national official, has warned other Dems (interestingly enough, she warned them publicly) that some of their “faves” (notice the plural) will be caught up in this net. On top of this there are Clinton’s numerous other indiscretions. On top of that Dem names like Weiner, Spitzer, and Kennedy remind us of the high regard the supposedly feminist party has for women. I carry no brief for Huma Abedin. Though watching her public humiliation in the “Weiner” documentary was excruciating on a human level. You may be saying, Oh, Trump was also named as an Epstein pal. Yes, he was. The difference is that as soon as Trump found out about Epstein’s illegal predilections he broke off contact and barred him from the Trump properties. Expect the media to try and make the whole story about the president. But Bill didn’t take the Trump route. Nope, Bill Clinton took even more flights on the Nabokov-themed airplane knowing full well what the deal was. He claimed yesterday he “knows nothing” (apparently Stalag 13’s Sergeant Schultz is his new spin doctor) about the “terrible crimes” that went on. Surprised he didn’t add, “I did not have aviation relations with that man, Mr. Epstein.” One wonders if Hillary will, if this goes nuclear, now give him the boot and adopt that most cherished of feminist personas: victim. If so, it will be a stretch as she enthusiastically victimed her way, by association with her husband, into a U.S. Senate seat and a top cabinet slot. Now, we here are no prudes and have no public issue with the assignations of consenting adults. However, we’re not talking adults in this case. We’re talking girls as young as fourteen being treated as Epstein’s personal slavish harem. This major Dem player didn’t care about them, their lives, or the damage he did to them. Like many on the left, he was only interested in what he could get out of it for himself. Damn the injury to others. As such, he might as well have called his plane “The Great Society.” This horrid ethos is not limited to Dems. Not by far. But it does, much more than other political parties, infect their top echelons, their core. The hypocrisy of their rabid feminism and this combined is almost too incredulous to be believed. As any cursory exam will show, it is not the only unbelievable thing about today’s Dems. Pres.

__label__cc	0.643247	0.356753	is creating Gaming and Comedy Videos A Little About My Channel Hey there, guys and gals! I'm Arlo, and... Gosh, has anyone told you you look really great today? Because you do. Anyway, if you're new to my channel, here's the skinny. I talk about video games--opinion pieces, analyses, reviews, whatever strikes my fancy, and I mostly talk about Nintendo with plenty of exceptions. My number one goal though is to always keep things FUN. No drama, no angry ranting, and no content that makes you jump in front of your monitor when your grandma walks into the room. Playing games is just plain fun, and I want ArloStuff to reflect that feeling you get when you boot up a Mario game. I want it to be upbeat and playful, but also not afraid to talk about industry trends and sales figures and all that other stuff. When I first started my channel it was going to be about whatever I felt like, but perhaps inevitably it evolved into mostly a gaming channel with "whatever I feel like" sprinkled in. Also I originally wanted to mainly focus on more "timeless" content rather than reactions and opinion pieces and whatnot on topical games and events, but that sort of went out the window. My fans want to know how I feel about new games and major announcements and they show up in great numbers when I talk topical, so the channel has adapted to meet those wants. However I like to add humor wherever I can, and when possible I like to tie my opinions on topical stuff to broader subjects, the goal being much as it was before: to make each video fun to watch down the line, even when it's referring to old news. "Why should I support this Arlo guy?" Since launching my channel I've built up a following of some of the raddest folks on the internet, and I've learned that yes, this is indeed my dream job. I adore every single aspect of it, and I can't imagine something else I'd rather be doing. The problem is that it's difficult balancing the channel with my own personal responsibilities, and it's growing progressively harder to support oneself with ad revenue alone. I won't bore you with the details, but basically there's less and less money to go around for Youtubers like me. So what does support through Patreon mean? Your pledge means that I can act more independently of Youtube's issues. I can create the content I want without worrying as much about algorithms and advertisers and all that stuff. The more I make here on Patreon the less I have to worry about alternative forms of income, which distract from content creation. All Because of You I'm being dead serious when I say that Patreon is the only reason I'm still doing this. If all this time I'd been relying purely on ad revenue from Youtube I don't think I would have been able to justify spending as much time on the channel as I have, and less content would have meant fewer viewers, which would have meant less growth and less ad revenue, and ultimately I can't be certain that I would still be doing much of anything with it. Support from colossally amazing people like you is what keeps ArloStuff going, and hopefully it's what's going to turn it into something so much more. So if you find it in yourself to pledge even as little as one dollar a month, you've got my eternal gratitude. I seriously can't thank you enough, or properly communicate how much it means to me. But enough of all that mushy stuff! Let's have some fun! You are officially my best friend. You get access to regular Arlocasts, where I talk about upcoming videos, cover topics that won't fit in regular videos, and talk about whatever I feel like. You'll also gain access to the official Arlo Discord server! ALSO ALSO, you'll get any other exclusive stuff I can cook up, and access to videos early whenever possible! Includes Discord rewards Best Friend PLUS You. Are. AWESOME. For going the extra mile, you get everything else as well as access to the Best Friends Plus rooms in the Arlo Discord. I'll be there as often as I can to chat and answer questions and have fun and stuff! Recent posts by Arlo	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0007.json.gz/line1618548
__label__wiki	0.60036	0.60036	Some users are complaining of GeForce RTX 2080 Ti cards dying By Paul Lilly 2018-10-30T17:38:18Z Complaints of various issues are cropping up, Nvidia says it's just business as usual. The dust hasn't even settled on Nvidia's new GeForce RTX series graphics cards, but already there are numerous complaints on various forums of a range of issues, from crashes and blue screen errors, to even cards outright dying. Even more frustrating for early adopters, the complaints seem mostly centered on the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti, which is the most expensive RTX card of the bunch. There are multiple threads related to GeForce RTX 2080 Ti issues on Nvidia's own forums and Reddit. Digital Threads wrangled a bunch of them, noting that users have been complaining about dead and dying cards for weeks, and that several threads have more than 100 comments detailing different issues. Is there really a problem, though? If so, that would be concerning—it's not unreasonable to expect that a $1,200 GPU (Founders Edition) would be engineered to perfection, or at least close to it. At the very least, we wouldn't expect so many different complaints to crop up so quickly after launch. The 2080 Ti retail availability was already delayed, and even now supply of the cards is extremely tight. Is there enough demand for $1,200 extreme gaming GPUs to keep most models backordered? Perhaps. It could also be that Turing and the large TU102 GPU in particular are experiencing some teething pains. It's impossible for us to verify all of the complaints. The general disdain for the RTX launch by some gamers, thanks to the high price (compared to Pascal), also means the potential for trolling is higher. That said, in one of the threads, a customer care agent for Nvidia said the company was able to reproduce the BSOD error that some users are seeing. "We were able to get a repro of this today. We still need help from you all. We need to confirm the BSOD signature matches the same issue being reported in this thread," ManuelGuzmanNV said. He went on to give users instructions on how to collect and share the full kernel dump file so that Nvidia can troubleshoot the issue. In a followup post, Manuel responded to a user complaining about a similar issue on a non-Ti variant, telling him "most users here seem to be reporting on 2080 Ti... so you may have a different issue." Separately, Nvidia told our friends at TomsHardware that "it's not an increasing number of users" who are seeing issues, adding "it's not broad... We are working with each user individually like we always do," Nvidia said.	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0007.json.gz/line1618550

Back at the end of 2014 he got a free custom computer from Tek Syndicate explicitly for "repository surgery". At least part of it was funded with donations. Specs: 3.5Ghz Xeon E5-1650v3 (6 core Haswell with HT) 32GB PC4-2133 DDR4 ECC Ram 512GB M.2 PCIE SSD 3TB HGST NAS drive 1000W PSU It's not a monster by today's standards though it would've been a really strong, expensive contender for the time. It's also still significantly better than what most people start with. There's a video on Youtube about it (titled "Build: Linux Workstation for Eric S. Raymond \| Meet To Mega Therion"). I don't suggest you watch it as it's beyond tedious, but the info's there if you want to verify for yourself. Early benchmarks on repocutter-in-Go suggest I'll get at least a 15x speedup relative to the Python version of reposurgeon, possibly rather more. Is that before or after he got another free high-end workstation? I think I remember this "benchmark" number from the last time he dodged responsibility, so I'm guessing before. The main source of uncertainty here is how long it will take me to finish the Go translation of reposurgeon. Once that's done I don't expect a finished conversion to take more than a couple of weeks to produce. The good news is the translation is now over 90% done; the bad news is that the part still pending includes the part you really care about, the Subversion dump interpreter. Why on earth is he (re-)writing a tool that will still take him several weeks to get usable output from? Also, it's good that he did all the easy work. Normally that's not something to complain about, but it's been nearly a year with no progress and all he's done is whine, get free shit, do the easy stuff, and take credit. I realize this may not be the best place to ask, but the most effective way to speed things up would be to second me somebody with Go skills to help with finishing and debugging the translation. The blocker is not Go knowledge per se, it's the intrinsic complexity of the code I'm translating. Even with my skills and domain expertise this is a tough job. I will further add that a really motivated expert C programmer would do for the help. Go is an easy enough transition for a C expert that it would be practical to learn the language while assisting with this. And now he needs help, of course. Not because he doesn't understand Go, but because the code he wrote is so complex. Last time this came up, people popped into the reposurgeon repo and found it was a bunch of borderline-unmaintainable spaghetti code. It's not a difficult problem or a complex solution, but a bad implementation with most of Reposurgeon being the code in the 637KB "reposurgeon" file with 14K lines in it. Good news, though, he's writing his new golang replacements in the same git repository in the master branch because of course that makes sense. Keep in mind, he's really good at Go. That's why he's only been working on porting this shit code for 9 months. First commits on the Go version of repocutter is from 2018-08-23. It's okay, though, it was his computer slowing him down, so he got a free one just to figure out he still needs help. Please, no one give him anymore free stuff just because he whines. We have kernel developers contributing far more useful code who are stuck on far worse systems than the ones he has to upgrade from. Also, please don't assign him any more important blocking tasks. And for goodness' sake, don't accept his opinions. Less than 20% of what he says has any value. goldenleaf Wow man, that was pretty harsh criticism. bachchain By October, he'll have upgraded to a full Epyc cabinet so he can start working on the machine learning program that will write reposurgeon for him torsionbar28 Perhaps he could improve the performance of his machine by switching to Xfce like the Swedish people? An elegant solution that takes longer to solve a problem is almost always preferable to an unwieldy but fast solution .... given time itself is not your primary constraint, and in this case it certainly is not. As long as his algorithem processes through the commits much faster than they are being added ... what would it matter if it took years to process. He could then move on to solving other problems while he waited on the solution to be produced, instead litte progress has been made and he has an unwieldy codebase. One would also question if Go is even a good language for writing code that must be fast and memory efficient... as it isn't known for this. The fact that he has written in unelegant program in Go is also quite shameful...because elegance is one of the things Go is known for. esr-brainlet Originally posted by Terrablit View Post I can't agree with this vigorously enough. Anyone who thinks this is an exaggeration or hatchet job against ESR -- I highly recommend finding out for yourself and reading some of his code. It's truly some of the most awful, bug-ridden spaghetti you'll ever see. If you've only ever read some of his (many) grandiose self-congratulations before and have had no contact with his code, you might have assumed he's a bit of an egomaniac who is just slightly exaggerating his abilities. The reality couldn't be further from the truth -- he's a pariah with a god complex. 90% of his OSS contributions have been adding as many self-attributions as possible to other people's codebases. Probably 50% of the terminfo sources in ncurses are just ESR giving credit to himself and typing out his own name as many times as possible. Originally posted by cb88 View Post See, that's just you looking at the whole debacle through the eyes of a logically minded person. To ESR, this is just an opportunity to heap congratulations on himself, whilst also twisting the truth to get as much free stuff as possible from people who are unaware of his track record. If you think ESR has ever done any good for the open source community, you might just be a victim of his propaganda and self-marketing. His code is uniformly awful and his social/collaboration skills are non-existent. It's no coincidence that he leaves a very bitter taste behind wherever he inserts himself. The large (and ever growing) body of people who publicly criticise him don't do so out of jealousy or for no reason at all.	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0007.json.gz/line1618559
__label__wiki	0.543566	0.543566	Our Areas of Law Trust Law Business and Commercial Law Bill Herbison (Managing Director) Caroline Davey (Director \| Solicitor) Richelle Williams-Hawes Miria Scott-Toft Alison Hankinson Penney Fisher Stephanie Herbison Greer Herbison Linda De Paor Caitlin Stockman Samantha Healey Styx Mill Office Kaiapoi Office New Brighton Office Published by Greer Herbison on July 18, 2017 Until we are confronted with death, an emergency or illness, few of us are likely to turn our minds to the interplay between the law, and how it affects the way we deal with a loved one’s remains, let alone the choices we make or leave in respect of our own bodies. The Human Tissue Act 2008 (“the Act”) currently governs the way human tissue is dealt within New Zealand. Under the Act, Human Tissue (“tissue”) is defined as including any material that is, or is derived from a body or material collected from a living individual. The definition is wide reaching and encompasses amongst other matters an individual’s organs, blood, skin or stem cells. Human embryo’s, including female eggs and sperm only qualify as human tissue in certain instances, including where human tissue is collected for non-therapeutic purposes or in relation to exporting or importing human tissue. The Act provides for compromise in its framework, by facilitating an ‘opt in’ approach. Informed consent or an informed objection may be given by the individual whose body the tissue may be collected during their life and upon death. Where no informed consent has been given or no informed objection has been raised, the Act provides a hierarchy of who may consent to tissue being collected from the body of a deceased, including an individual’s nominee(s), immediate family and then a close available relative. Several assumptions exist within the Act, including: that an individual over 16 years of age is capable of making an informed decision; consent or objection is free and informed, immediate family members providing consent have undertaken consultation with other immediate family members; and that the individuals have taken into account the cultural beliefs of their families. The cultural context for decision making in respect of donating or collecting tissue is woven throughout the Act. There is a requirement and expectation on those who collect human tissue, that they will take into account the spiritual needs, values and beliefs of the individual and their immediate family. Potential donators are encouraged to consider the impact that their decision will have on their family following death. In respect of expressing consent, certain obstacles exist in conveying ones wish to be a donor. We are likely to be familiar with the ‘donor’ indications on a driver licence. However, ticking the ‘donor’ box on a driver licence may not meet accepted requirements for obtaining informed consent. This is primarily due to the contention that a driver licence has a life span of 10 years, and it may not reflect an individual’s wishes at the time of death. In contrast, a Will provides the unequivocal wishes and intentions of a deceased person including an expression of consent. The issue of expressing consent by way of a person’s Will is that it may not be practical and timely to ascertain certainty around the intention and consent of the deceased in times of emergency, or where a timely decision is required. The Act has attempted to alleviate this problem by providing an ‘opt-in register’, where consent may be given after the fact and at a later date. To ensure that your wishes and intentions are adhered to, we recommend that you discuss these matters regularly with your family and lawyer.

__label__wiki	0.513682	0.513682	July 01, 2019 Food & Drink » Velocity Project The gift of elders By Lisa Richardson Photo by Natalie Langmann CELEBRATING ELDERS Veronica Bikadi and Heather Joseph teach a Kindergarten class the Ucwalmictws language, at Signal Hill. The students learn about their culture and language along with wool-weaving and meta principles like Célhcelh (feeling connected when working as a team) and Kat'íl'a (seeking spaces of stillness and quietness amidst our busyness and quest for knowledge). It was hard not to imagine that someone let loose an art farm in the gym. An elementary school assembly is so full of twitchy energy. I half-wondered what possessed me to take up the open invitation to attend the National Indigenous People's Day Celebration Assembly on a full moon at Signal Hill Elementary School and immerse myself in the general end-of-year restlessness, but I came because it's a privilege to get a peek inside this space where my son has been spending his days. And I want to declare myself an ally. Being an ally, says Amnesty International, involves "a lot of self-reflection, education and listening. It means knowing we're often coming into this space from a position of power and privilege. Privilege that we've gained through unjust systems that marginalize the groups we seek to ally with. It's not enough to show up in solidarity and speak out against the unjust system, we have to do what is within our power to dismantle the system and differentiate ourselves from the opponents of these groups. We have to change our own behaviours and be mindful that we are not contributing to keeping that system going." I sit in the gym knowing that the kids aren't the only ones here on a learning journey. My son had his first language class 13 days into Kindergarten. He didn't know any French, he didn't know the English alphabet, he could count to 20 with the appearance of a few rogue numbers like eleventy-hundred—but there he was learning Ucwalmícwts. When he started Kindergarten, I mostly hoped he would learn some positive social skills and gain a general enthusiasm for learning. (It felt important to keep my expectations low and non-specific.) This year, in addition to all the things he's absorbed with his main (and wonderful) dedicated teacher in his art, music and PE classes, he's also had the chance to learn under the guidance of language and culture teachers, with the support of elders Mary Ann Narcisse and Veronica Bikadi, things like traditional wool-weaving, how time is observed, and key Lil'wat learning priniciples such as Kat'íl'a, quiet concentration, and Célhcelh, feeling connected when working as a team. I watched the assembly of kids, with all their mix of heritages, and wondered if they understood the significance of this sharing—that they get to learn this culture, language and way of looking at the world, side-by-side, regardless of their cultural identity. Do they glimpse the generosity of their teachers as a gift, the way I do? I wondered if they realize what it means that their principal, Roberta Kubik, in her silver-tassled sneaker-moccasins, makes a territory acknowledgement at the start of assembly, or if they are as inspired as I am when she leads them all around the gym in a dance, moving with a graceful rhythm, holding the collectively woven wool blanket aloft, looking completely at ease. I wondered if they appreciate having an elder pray over them to Creator in the language the land remembers. I wondered if their hearts swelled up when the elder then offered in English that she is proud of them, of all the kids and teachers and the whole school, for this journey they're on and for how much they have learned and how much she is learning from them. That elder is Bikadi. She has great-great grandchildren, she was sent away to residential school, she has been teaching the language for almost 20 years, through a difficult era with no resources and very little support, and now, here she is, still guiding, still sharing, still serving, pulling this entire school—all of us—into her circle of care. Bikadi, whose Ucwalmícwts name is Sat, (which sounds to my ears a bit like the word "shout"), meaning "dearest, my favourite one, you stay here," is a fluent speaker—a precious thing in her community. She had taught the language for 12 years at Pemberton Secondary School, (where she also worked as a special needs assistant for 19 years), before coming out of retirement in 2012 to serve as a language mentor, along with Narcisse, to her granddaughter, their language teacher, when Signal Hill's current culture and language program came into being, the result of an Aboriginal Enhancement Agreement negotiated between the school district and the Squamish, N'Quatqua, Lílwat, Samahquam, Skatin and Xa'Xtsa Nations, to enhance aboriginal learning. Two decades ago, there wasn't a lot of support for Ucwalmícwts language teachers. And there were no resources. "I phoned a friend in Lillooet who was teaching there at the public school and he said, 'I'm just winging it. I'm in the same boat as you are,'" remembers Bikadi. She'd look up Kindergarten lesson plans online and search for things that were appropriate for high schoolers, and then literally crafted her own curriculum, applying the Total Physical Response language acquisition methodology that she had been taught at the Chief Atahm school on the Adams Lake reserve near Chase, where that community's efforts to revive the Secwepemc language were being taught to other Indigenous language teachers from all across the province. Bikadi speaks of herself as lucky to have been raised in a household where the No. 1 language was Ucwalmícwts. Her foster parents were already in their mid-fifties when Bikadi was brought to them and she speaks of them with immense tenderness. Her parents "not only spoke the language, but they walked the walk. Anything that needed doing in the community, they were both ready to be there, to help. I couldn't have asked for better parents. They were very nurturing." At the front of the gym, as Bikadi closed her eyes and spoke a prayer of thanks in her soft voice, I thought this indeed is something to celebrate—the generosity and hard work of the resilient, tenacious, thoughtful survivors of a cultural genocide, sharing their language and values with a whole generation of vital twitchy moon-filled beings who drum and dance and weave together, side-by-side, day-by-day dismantling an old oppressive system and building a better one in its place.

__label__wiki	0.952203	0.952203	The Woodcut Sessions / Live at Chateau Paulette (2CDs) This two-disc set is a must have for any Podipto fan. The first CD contains 19 studio demos, 15 of which never made it on to an official album. The best part: these songs sound just as the band intended them. Read the liner notes below to learn more about a story that Podipto fans never knew: the record label had replacement players—L.A.'s famous "Wrecking Crew"—play the instrumental parts on their first album. The second CD contains a full concert of the band playing Chateau Paulette in Park Rapids, Minn. Close your eyes, and you'll see the lamp at center stage, you'll feel the beach ball pass over your head, and you might even hear your old friend Bud making his way through the crowd! Album Liner Notes: Tracks 1-5: Roy Berg Tape - Bemidji, circa 1969 These were the first tracks Podipto recorded before their record deal. Roy Berg, a voice instructor at Bemidji State University, invited the band to record in a classroom. Mike Hedlund played drums, as founding member and drummer John Calder had been drafted to serve in Vietnam. Tracks 6-11: Original Demo - Chicago, 1970 Through a connection with the manager for The Guess Who, Podipto was introduced to talent managers who flew in to listen to them play in the basement of the Bemidji United Methodist Church. The band soon went to Chicago to record a demo to shop to record labels. Except for the first track, Calder’s “River Bottom,” these songs were included on their first album with GRT. The record label, as was common in the 1960s and 1970s, convinced the band that session players—members of the now-famous “Wrecking Crew”—needed to rerecord the instrument parts in an L.A. studio. The band objected to replacement players, but the label insisted and they were told to focus on their live performances. Dan Lund was allowed to add his guitar leads to the tracks, except for “Can’t Stand To Beg” and “Mississippi Woman.” Thus, these unreleased studio demos are the only versions that feature performances by the full band. Following this session, Steve Rundquist replaced Hedlund on drums. Tracks 12-19: Second and Third Demos - Chicago, 1972 With their first album complete and gaining national attention, Podipto hit the road, opening for various top-tier folk, rock and country acts. Their second and third demo sessions feature songs that would have been on their second album with GRT. However, the departure of a key label executive left the band in a lurch and without a record deal. This independence allowed the band to self release their second album, Homemade, though none of these tracks would appear on that album. Live at Chateau Paulette, Park Rapids, Minnesota - June 1973 The chateau, a trading post dating back to the 1800s, was a popular site for dining and performances, with ample dancing room around their famous stone replace. Podipto played the venue several times. This concert, here in its near entirety, captures the band as many Podipto fans remember them: vibrant, full of humor, and ready to deliver several sets of unforgettable live music. Rundquist leads much of the evening’s banter.

__label__wiki	0.794448	0.794448	The Wrong Side(s) of the Tracks: The Causal Effects of Racial Segregation on Urban Poverty and Inequality Elizabeth Oltmans Ananat (Duke University, Institute of Public Policy) Monday, 9-22-2008. ARCHIVED EVENT Jointly sponsored by PSC and the National Poverty Center. At the metropolitan level there is a striking negative correlation between residential racial segregation and population characteristics-particularly for black residents-but it is widely recognized that this correlation may not be causal. This paper provides a novel test of the causal relationship between segregation and population outcomes by exploiting the arrangements of railroad tracks in the 19th century to isolate plausibly exogenous variation in cities' susceptibility to segregation. I show that, conditional on miles of railroad track laid, the extent to which track configurations physically subdivided cities strongly predicts the level of segregation that ensued after the Great Migration of African-Americans to northern and western cities in the 20th century. At the start of the Great Migration, though, track configurations were uncorrelated with racial concentration, ethnic dispersion, income, industry, education, and population, indicating that reverse causality is unlikely. Even today, track configurations have no correlation with population characteristics in cities that were too far from the South to have received significant black in-migration, which indicates that track configuration does not affect cities through any channel other than racial segregation. Instrumental variables estimates demonstrate that segregation increases black poverty and overall black-white income disparities, while decreasing white poverty and inequality within the white population.	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0007.json.gz/line1618571

The expansion will more than double the current number of BIBIBOP Asian Grill restaurants and includes locations slated for Washington, D.C, Los Angeles and Chicago. The new locations are scheduled to be converted and opened in coming months. The first BIBIBOP Asian Grill restaurant began in Columbus, Ohio, in August 2013 as the brainchild of Charley Shin, CEO of BIBIBOP Asian Grill and international restaurant concept Charleys Philly Steaks. After successfully launching the Charleys Philly Steaks franchise and opening hundreds of locations around the world, he returned to his Korean roots and was inspired to bring the bold flavors and healthy ingredients of his native South Korea to his American hometown. Offering healthy meals that put a fresh twist on the popular Korean dish “bibimbap,” literally meaning “mixed rice,” each BIBIBOP starts with perfectly steamed rice, followed by a choice of grilled meats or tofu, a variety of fresh vegetables and Asian-inspired sauces. The new concept caught on fast with the company opening three more locations in 2014, eventually expanding to 12 total locations across the State of Ohio by 2016. The company also has plans on the horizon to open its first Cleveland location later this year. “The BIBIBOP Asian Grill concept has performed very well with consumers, as demonstrated by our steady growth through the years, and we’re excited to bring our fresh dining experience to more guests across the country,” says Shin. “As we’ve expanded, we’ve never lost sight of our commitment to bring our signature WELL-B-ING to all of the communities in which we do business by strengthening our neighbors and enriching the lives of our team members.” Bibibop Asian Grill	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0007.json.gz/line1618577

It currently manages a Sheraton Four Points in Havana’s Miramar section and hopes to begin renovations soon on the Inglaterra, a hotel that dates to 1875 and is located near the recently renovated Gran Teatro de la Habana.Marriott, which will have 250 hotels in Latin America and the Caribbean by year-end, got its small Cuban hotel portfolio when it acquired Starwood Hotels & Resorts to form the world’s largest hotel company. The acquisition closed last September.One advantage for American travelers is that they can book and pay for their reservations at the Sheraton Four Points online with credit cards issued by any U.S. bank.

LISTEN: Tom Prior - Take It All Tom Prior started making music in his shed back in 2005. Three years later, he had released two acclaimed mixtapes, Take Note Vol. 1 and 2, before founding a local creative collective, Clockwork. He then appeared on Exo’s 2012 single, Way Back Home and supported Katy B and Ms Dynamite at London’s Somerset House. Having caught the ear of Alex Turner, his debut EP was recorded with former Arctic Monkeys bassist Andy Nicholson and the result sounds a little like Jake Bugg with a keyboard. Tom’s second EP, Paint The Ceiling Blue features the standout track Take It All, a slick piece of electronica that showcases his strong, emotional vocals. 2016 is going to be a major year for Tom Prior.

__label__wiki	0.752387	0.752387	Agriculture and resource production are both vital industries in NSW, and share many common beliefs and interests. The successful coexistence of these industries has enormous benefits for the state, particularly in regional areas. All access arrangements should be based on the understanding that explorers are 'visitors' on private land, and an appreciation by landholders of the needs and rights of mineral explorers. Overview of the land access arbitration framework Under New South Wales law, the holder of a prospecting title (an exploration licence or an assessment lease) must not carry out prospecting activities unless it is in line with an access arrangement agreed with the landholder or determined by an arbitrator. An access arrangement is also required with native title holders, unless: the licence was granted or renewed after compliance with the 'Right to Negotiate' provisions of the Commonwealth Native Title Act 1993 a registered indigenous land use agreement provides that an access arrangement is not required after diligent enquiry the native title holder cannot be found or identified. Refer (s.383B(3) Mining Act 1992). The Mining Act 1992 and the Petroleum (Onshore) Act 1991 set out a clear arbitration framework for the resolution of land access disputes in cases where parties are unable to agree on an access arrangement through their own negotiations. Changes to the Mining Act 1992 and the Petroleum (Onshore) Act 1991 that commenced in 2016 introduce a clearer pathway for the resolution of land access disputes. If an access arrangement cannot be agreed during negotiation between a titleholder and a landholder, the legislation requires parties to enter into mediation. The holder of the prospecting title may, through written notice to the landholder or landholders concerned, request their agreement to the appointment of a mutually agreeable mediator or arbitrator to preside over the mediation. If parties have been unable to agree on an appointment, either party can apply for an assistance from a panel of arbitrators. This option is available to parties at both mediation and arbitration. Both parties have an express right to legal representation at mediation and arbitration. The arbitration process is covered by sections 143 to 158B in the Mining Act 1992 and by sections 69F to 69X of the Petroleum (Onshore) Act 1991. Arbitration Procedure In his 2014 report into land access arbitration in NSW, Senior Counsel Bret Walker recommended that procedural guidance be developed to clearly set out information relating to land access arbitration and the role of arbitrators. In line with this recommendation, the NSW Government has released a guideline that sets out detailed guidance on the process including: the roles and responsibilities of parties and the arbitrator the steps involved at mediation and arbitration timeframes for both stages pre-hearing matters information relating to an arbitrator’s determination of an access arrangement managing any conflict or bias declared by an arbitrator performance criteria for arbitrators. This document is made under section 148A of the Mining Act 1992 and section 69KA of the Petroleum (Onshore) Act 1991 and covers both mediation and arbitration procedures. It is published in the NSW Gazette. View the Land Access Arbitration Procedure. Appointment of arbitrator Arbitrators can be appointed in two ways: by mutual agreement between the parties by the Secretary of the Department of Planning and Environment upon the application of either party. In the first case the arbitrator will be a person agreed to by both parties and has the same rights, protection and obligations as an arbitrator appointed by the Secretary. Alternately, an arbitrator is appointed by the Secretary from a panel of arbitrators appointed by the Minister. Eligibility criteria for members of the NSW Arbitration Panel Panel arbitrators appointed by the Minister must meet minimum eligibility criteria. A person is eligible for appointment as a member of the arbitration panel if they: are either an accredited mediator under the National Mediator Accreditation System, or hold practitioner or advanced practitioner membership with LEADR & IAMA (ACN 008 651 232, trading as Resolution Institute) have extensive arbitration experience (in the opinion of the Minister) have either extensive agricultural or resources industry experience, or are an Australian legal practitioner of at least seven years’ standing with extensive litigation experience (in the opinion of the Minister). How are arbitrators appointed to the panel? A nationwide application process is undertaken by the Department of Planning and Environment. Advertisements will be placed in at least one national newspaper, as well as with at least one arbitration body recognised in NSW. Eligible arbitrators who meet the criteria are encouraged to apply. Following the nationwide call for applications, an assessment panel evaluates candidates based on the eligibility criteria set out in the regulations, and makes recommendations to the Minister. The assessment panel comprises three members: one person who is an Australian legal practitioner of least seven years’ standing who has, in the opinion of the Minister, extensive arbitration experience one person nominated by the Minister for Primary Industries one person nominated by the Minister for Resources. The Minister considers the recommendations of the assessment panel and consults with the Minister responsible for Aboriginal Affairs and the Minister responsible for Primary Industries on any proposed appointee. Following consultation, the Minister may formally appoint members to the arbitration panel. Appointments to the panel are for a maximum of three years. For a list of arbitrators, visit the Current arbitrators webpage. Arbitrator training New members of the Arbitration Panel participate in a one day induction session delivered by the Department of Planning and Environment. The induction focuses on the key aspects of the role, understanding the legislation, and includes presentations on landholder and industry perspectives delivered by key stakeholder representatives. Arbitrators also attend training seminars provided by the Department of Planning and Environment as required to keep up to date with changes in legislation and any policy initiatives. Arbitrators must maintain minimum qualifications and undertake continuous education and training consistent with their formal accreditation requirements. Duties of the arbitrator Arbitrators can preside over both mediations and arbitrations. They can manage the mediation process where their role is not to provide legal advice or to adjudicate between the parties, but rather to manage the mediation process and provide support to the parties, assisting them to resolve the dispute themselves. If parties are unable to reach agreement through mediation, the next step is arbitration. The mediator can continue to oversee the arbitration if both parties agree. Alternatively the mediation can be terminated and either party may apply to the Secretary for a member of the arbitration panel to be appointed. In relation to access arrangements, the role of the arbitrator is to determine the conditions upon which a titleholder may enter, access and undertake activities on and in another person's land in line with their title rights under the legislation. At the end of the process the arbitrator is required to write an access arrangement between the parties to the arbitration. Part of the arbitrator’s role is also to make an assessment of the landholder’s reasonable costs in participating in the mediation and arbitration. In making this assessment, the arbitrator considers landholder conduct and the requirement for parties to act in good faith. Explorers are required to pay the landholder’s reasonable costs as assessed by the arbitrator. Refer to the Land Access Arbitration Procedure for more information on the role of the arbitrator. Matters to be determined by the arbitrator The legislation set out matters that can be addressed by access arrangements. The matters that can be determined by the arbitrator include: periods during which the holder of the prospecting title is permitted access to the land parts of the land in or on which the holder of the prospecting title can prospect and the means by which the holder can gain access to those parts of the land types of prospecting operations that can be carried out in or on the land compensation to be paid to any landholder as a consequence of prospecting operations in or on the land (this can be monetary or in-kind) notification to the holder of the prospecting title of particulars of any person who becomes an additional landholder This is not an inclusive listing and not all of the matters have to be covered in an access arrangement. Compliance with the arrangement If the holder of a prospecting title contravenes an access arrangement, section 141(4) of the Mining Act 1992 and Section 69D(4) of the Petroleum (Onshore) Act 1991specifies that access may be denied until the: title holder ceases such contravention An access arrangement represents a contract between the parties and any breach may also be remedied by appeal to the Land and Environment Court. Land access arrangements can set out the compensation to be paid to landholders as a consequence of carrying out prospecting activities on the land. In addition, explorers are also required to pay landholders compensation for any loss or interference resulting from exploration or production work on their land. For petroleum explorers and producers, access arrangements must specify the compensation that is payable to landholders. IPART’s online tool provides benchmarks which can help landholders in negotiating compensation agreements. Note compensation payments are separate to the requirement for explorers to pay the landholder’s reasonable costs in reaching a land access arrangement. The arbitrator's costs The costs of the arbitrator are borne by the explorer. This includes travel, accommodation, meal and car allowances as well as remuneration including the cost of any support staff such as a typist or stenographer. These costs are not paid directly to the arbitrator by the explorer. Instead, the Department of Planning and Environment acts as an intermediary to keep these matters at arm's length. A person seeking the appointment of one of the Minister's panel of arbitrators should complete the application form AD1 Authority Application for Appointment of an Arbitrator [542 KB PDF]. Or PTD 1 for petroleum The arbitrator is protected against legal action for any action directly authorised by the relevant Act as long as the arbitrator acts in good faith. Review of the arbitrator's determination Within 14 days of the interim determination being served, either party can approach the arbitrator seeking a reconsideration of the question of access or variation to the draft access arrangement. If the parties do not approach the arbitrator within this time, the interim determination becomes the arbitrator's final determination. If a review is requested, the arbitrator sets a time and place to continue the hearing. Once the process is completed, the arbitrator serves the written decision as a final determination. Once the arbitrator's final determination is served, either party may lodge a request to the Land and Environment Court for a review of the determination. The request must be accompanied by a copy of the arbitrated arrangement. The arbitrator is not involved in this review process. Arbitrated Access Arrangements As soon as practicable after an access arrangement is determined by an arbitrator, the holder of the prospecting title must provide the Secretary with a copy of the access arrangement. A register of all completed arbitrated access arrangements made under the amended legislation introduced on 1 December 2016 is maintained by the Department of Planning and Environment and is provided below. Personal information (within the meaning of the Privacy and Personal Information Protection Act 1998) about an individual and confidential information is not included on the register.

It may be varied or terminated: in accordance with the terms of the access arrangement with the agreement of all parties by the arbitrator, with the consent of all parties on application by any of the parties, by order of the Land and Environment Court if the arrangement was determined by a court or an arbitrator. Where there has been a change in the landholder/s, the access arrangement may be varied or the existing access arrangements may continue – refer to section 158 of the Mining Act 1992 and section 69 U of the Petroleum (Onshore) Act 1991 for further information in relation to this issue.

Lombok Marina Del Ray on Gili Gede, off the Sou'west corner of Lombok, is a deepwater haven with moorings, pens (slips), hardstand, and also has more than just the odd amenity to assist global travellers. So as a clearance port, it is absolutely ideally placed to handle all your needs. The other thing is that it is outside of the cyclone band, and generally has just a two-month wet season over the Christmas period, which is about half some of the other favourite ports in South East Asia. Now in continuing communications with Ray La Fontaine, I got to learn how the desalination plant you see in these images was manhandled into position for use by the marina and its guests. It wasn't quick, but they made it happen. - photo © Ray La Fontaine La Fontaine commented, "I wanted to share this as a way of demonstrating how well we are integrated into the local community, and how much they also appreciate the marina, and what it all means for them. We have no cranes here, so manoeuvring the two tonne behemoth was a huge task. Members of our local Mosque all banded together, as you can see, and manhandled it into place." "It is a great example of how marine development sparks economic and social development. In all my travels over the years, I have seen just how few economic and social benefits half of the Indonesian population on the small islands receive. The real exception is what the sailors provide. By the time we are at stage five of the development here, we should be bringing in USD300M to the Lombok economy, which will represent 7% of its annual GDP." The marina recently took delivery of a hydraulic slipway trailer, and last week they hauled out their first two yachts. They are now really the only haul out facility for yachts between Darwin and Singapore. Again, it pays to know where the people in the know reside, so that you can saddle up next to them... Lots of care and consideration used in working out the best way to make it happen. - photo © Ray La Fontaine La Fontaine is one of those who are always thinking, and his visions include getting all the boats that might be stuck in Phuket or Malaysia for the monsoon season into Lombok by December.

The SAS programme was created to help organisations anticipate business opportunities, empower action and drive impact through advanced analytics that turns data into meaningful information. The three-day forum included expert-led insights, panel-discussions, demonstrations, networking opportunities and presentations by SAS Professionals. Key topics of the forum were driving Innovation from Big Data, approaching an analytical project, Streaming Analytics and the Internet of Things, Self Service Analytics and what it does mean for organisations, SAS and the Cloud. Salford academics, Professor Sunil Vadera, Head of the School of Computing, Science and Engineering (CSE), Professor Farid Meziane, Associate Head of CSE, and Dr Mo Saraee, CSE Senior Lecturer in data mining and SAS Student Academy Coordinator, attended and supported the event. Dr Saraee said: “My team from the CSE is very proud to be hosting the SAS Forum. The Forum offered unique and valuable opportunities for Salford University to build key contacts in the business analytics world.” Geoffrey Taylor, SAS Academic Programme Manager, said: “For our part at SAS we look forward to working with the University to realise the School’s ambitions in the big data and analytics areas. This is a fine opportunity for Salford University to position itself as a leader in the Northwest of England.” In October 2014, the University of Salford was accredited as a SAS Academy, following research into employers demand for labour and skills, carried out by The Tech Partnership and SAS UK, revealed that the demand for big data specialist could increase by 160 per cent over the next five years. As part of the SAS programme, Salford will be able to offer its MS DWBS students modules in big data skills (such as data collecting, data mining, and analysis). The courses that are to be run will enable students to acquire core skills in SAS Base and Advanced Programming, SAS Enterprise Guide, SAS Enterprise Miner and other SAS tools allowing them to gain SAS certification. The University’s School of Computing, Science & Engineering is currently the only SAS Students Academy in the Northwest of England.	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0007.json.gz/line1618613
__label__wiki	0.907799	0.907799	Last chance for impeachment Bill Curry Tracking a terrorist troll Ginger Gorman "Fox & Friends" co-host flees US Marilyn, Michael and the flying nuns Harmony Korine, the skate-punk Fitzgerald of the '90s, is back for his second act -- with a sweet and surprisingly lovely film, believe it or not. Check out this article! https://www.salon.com/2008/05/02/lonely/ Andrew O'Hehir May 3, 2008 12:02AM (UTC) Samantha Morton as Marilyn Monroe and Denis Lavant as Charlie Chaplin in "Mister Lonely." Scott Fitzgerald's maxim that there are no second acts in American lives has been proven wrong so often that it now seems like a grotesque misunderstanding. He was talking about himself, I guess. By dying in alcoholic despair at 44, Fitzgerald denied himself the chance to write a tell-all memoir, weep on Dr. Phil's shoulder and pronounce himself a new man. Harmony Korine, the skate-punk Fitzgerald of the mid-'90s, is back for his second act now, it appears. It begins with a pleasant surprise. Korine hasn't released a feature film in nine years, and his new "Mister Lonely" is richer and sweeter than anything he's ever made. After making its way around the festival globe, from Cannes last spring to Toronto, South by Southwest and now Tribeca, it's finally opening theatrically in New York (and is widely available on IFC's pay-cable platform). If I begin by telling you that "Mister Lonely" has two unrelated narratives, and then telling you what they are -- an unconsummated romance between a Michael Jackson impersonator and a Marilyn Monroe impersonator, and a story about nuns who miraculously learn to fly -- you might just heave a heavy sigh and move on. Can I convince you that both stories are lovely and almost unbearably sad, and that the connection between them is some undefinable kind of lighter-than-air atheist spirituality? Hell, I'm not sure I can convince myself. For one thing, even to call anything in this movie a "story" is misleading. Korine still has the same strengths and weaknesses as a filmmaker that made his confrontational ultra-indies "Gummo" and "Julien Donkey-Boy" so puzzling to so many viewers. I have very mixed feelings about both pictures; they were overpraised by Korine's defenders and over-vilified by his critics. He has a marvelous eye for images and a romantic propensity for finding beauty and lyricism in unlikely places. On the other hand, he isn't intimate with his characters. He observes them from a distance, neither with sympathy or cruelty; he doesn't know them, or make us know them, the way a more conventional film director does. What it all boils down to, I think, is that Korine belongs more to the visual-art tradition of cinema than the psychological-drama tradition. It's simplifying only a little to say that all narrative filmmaking comes out of two strains of modernist theater, the Eugene O'Neill-Tennessee Williams strand in one direction and the Brecht-Artaud strand in the other. What most people expect in a movie, most of the time, is the O'Neill-Williams tendency, with naturalistic characters and cathartic resolutions. It's safe to say Korine isn't interested in that. He comes partly out of the more confrontational Brecht-Artaud tradition, and -- like Godard and Jim Jarmusch and Peter Greenaway, to name filmmakers I bet he likes -- out of photography and dance and advertising and postmodern art. It's not coincidence that he's spent the last decade making music videos and performance art projects rather than feature films. So while Korine's got fine actors in "Mister Lonely," including Diego Luna as a Michael impersonator and Samantha Morton as a Marilyn, the characters they're playing are more like symbols or signifiers -- embodiment of the human desire to be something or somebody else, I guess -- than human beings. Why do Michael and Marilyn leave Paris for a celebrity-impersonator commune in rural Scotland? It's a dumb question; because this is a Harmony Korine movie. There's even less semblance of realism or characterization in the flying-nun segment, unless you count Werner Herzog's over-the-top hamming as a missionary priest in Latin America who becomes the winged sisters' accidental enabler. Some of Korine's dialogue is stilted and many of his scenes drag out too long. But while it's easy for a critic to issue edicts -- at 113 minutes, "Mister Lonely" feels like it could stand some trimming -- maybe the film's awkward silences and passages of stilted dialogue amplify the impact of its moments of surpassing or hilarious strangeness: Luna's character practicing his Jackson leg kicks alone on a lakeshore in the Scottish highlands, nuns jumping out of airplanes with no parachutes and riding bicycles through the air. But communal life with James Dean, Sammy Davis Jr., the Three Stooges, the pope and the Queen of England ultimately doesn't offer an idyllic escape for Michael and Marilyn (we never learn their real names), and the miracle of sisterly flight must come crashing to earth sooner or later. People will inevitably see the story of "Mister Lonely" as an analogy for the story of Harmony Korine's career, which according to his own self-invented legend came unglued early this decade. That's not half as touching or as tragic as the story Korine is actually telling, which is more like a universal truth than a story: Human beings dream impossible things, and these beautiful dreams all end the same way. "Mister Lonely" is now playing at the IFC Center in New York, and available on-demand via IFC In Theaters on many cable-TV systems. More engagements will follow.

Wade in Santa Cruz Saturday. By Jenna Brogan \| SANTA CRUZ — Abortion rights activists may have a challenging year ahead with a Republican-dominant House of Representatives, but the near 100 attendees at Saturday”s annual Pro-Choice Brunch, hosted by the Reproductive Rights Network of Santa Cruz County, vowed not to back down. Packed into the United Methodist Church hall to hear Assemblyman Bill Monning, D-Carmel, speak, were past and present Santa Cruz City Council members, county supervisors, schools representatives and numerous community members. The event, which commemorated the 38th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, has been educating the community about reproductive rights for two decades. “The right to choose is still very much threatened and has to be defended,” said Carol Fuller, chairwoman of the local Reproductive Rights Network. “The government is launching new attacks on women”s rights to abortion.” Abortion rights came under fire Thursday, when the House voted to prevent insurance companies from paying for abortion services with the No Taxpayer Funding for Abortion Act. The recession has also placed states that pay for abortions with state money in a pinch. “We don”t believe the Republican moves in the House will pass in the Senate, but they”re not just symbolic,” said Monning. “They serve to fuel those in the 29 anti-choice states.” As chairman of the Health Committee in the California Assembly, Monning is an advocate of a woman”s right to annual check-ups, breast exams, contraception and abortion, and says there is a direct connection between the right to reproductive choice and the right to health care. “It”s important that we”re constantly supporting the next generation of activists,” Monning said. In an effort to recognize the work being done by local young people, the Reproductive Rights Network honored Jessica Arnold, a fourth-year Community Studies student at UC Santa Cruz, who founded an on-campus club called Voices for Reproductive Justice. “We”re trying to create the next movement of young leaders,” said Arnold, who was a development and public affairs intern at Planned Parenthood for eight months. “We have access to safe and legal abortion, but with health care reform, women”s health and sex education are being cut in covert ways. We need to focus on where we”ve been and where we want to go.” While Santa Cruz is well-known for its more liberal views, groups like 40 Days for Life often picket Planned Parenthood on Pacific Avenue. Members of the group could not be reached for comment. Jenna Brogan	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0007.json.gz/line1618616

__label__wiki	0.851794	0.851794	Qishloq Ovozi Slim Down To Move Up In Turkmenistan? By Bruce Pannier Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov's personal image is a big deal, to him. Turkmen President Gurbanguly Berdymukhammedov is big on appearances. That preoccupation is reflected in the white marble buildings that increasingly dot the capital, Ashgabat, and the Caspian coastal area of Avaza. Everything along the routes that Berdymukhammedov's motorcade take through the capital, and generally around the country, is expected to be tidy and orderly when the president comes through. His fixation is also reflected in personal appearance. He and state media have gone to great lengths to portray Berdymukhammedov as a combination action hero-Olympian with rugged hobbies like commando training, horseback riding, sailing, car racing, and cycling (with time to write songs and books in his spare time). Now, word has it that Berdymukhammedov wants to see the same kind of physical dedication from other officials. WATCH: State-controlled TV released footage in August of Berdymukhammedov demonstrating his blade-and-gun skills: On January 8, the Turkmen president made another of his regular government reshuffles, dismissing dozens of district hakims and deputy hakims and appointing their replacements. But at least one would-be successor was jettisoned at least in part over a failure to get into shape, according to a relative of the abortive appointee. RFE/RL's Turkmen Service, known locally as Azatlyk, spoke with the relatives of multiple hopefuls in the western Balkan Province who cited a new requirement for appointees to undergo a physical examination in which "the main indicator of their health was their weight." (Azatlyk avoided publishing the names of that individual and other sources for this article who were not authorized to speak to RFE/RL and could face official retribution.) Turkmenistan's Singer, Race-Car Driver, Jockey, Autocrat 1080p \| 24.1MB One of that source's family members was aware of the stipulation and "ate only chicken broth for two months to lose weight, but he remained a bit chubby and failed to meet...standards," the source said. The relative complained that the word had gone out recently "to get thin," a mantra that originated for officials involved in organizing the Asian Indoor and Martial Arts Games that Turkmenistan hosted in late September and seems to have spread throughout the country, as many unofficial government policies do. Get Healthy! That’s An Order. Berdymukhammedov has spent years exhorting Turkmenistan’s citizens to get into shape. April is “Health Month” -- sometimes seen as “Health and Happiness Month” -- and citizens are expected, some say forced, to get outside and exercise. Berdymukhammedov’s insistence on displays of health and fitness has earned him some rare international praise. But his motivation could lie more in personal whim than in any sense of obligation to the nation and its people. Maybe he wants his country to be exactly as he wants it to be. The views expressed by the author do not necessarily reflect those of RFE/RL. Majlis Podcast: What Is Kyrgyzstan's New President Doing? President Sooronbai Jeenbekov promised he would continue in the path of his predecessor and party colleague, but is that the right way to go? Kyrgyzstan's new president, Sooronbai Jeenbekov, comes from the same party as his predecessor, Almazbek Atambaev. Jeenbekov promised when he was campaigning that he would continue Atambaev's policies, but those policies did not resolve many of the issues Kyrgyzstan faces, and something different is needed. Muhammad Tahir, RFE/RL's media relations manager, moderated a discussion that looked at the problems Jeenbekov inherited, what he is doing about them, and what he needs to do to move Kyrgyzstan forward. Joining the Majlis from Istanbul was Mihra Rittmann (@MihraRittmann) Central Asia researcher for Human Rights Watch. Rittmann was declared persona non grata in December 2015 when Atambaev was president. From Bishkek, Medet Tiulegenov (@tiulegenov), assistant professor at the American University of Central Asia, participated in the talk.

In 2010 electricity access rate was 61% (according to the Global Tracking Framework) and as of 2016 the rate was estimated at 79%. This has however not been achieved without challenges, and the remaining communities that are yet to be electrified pose increasing challenges of cost-effectiveness. The country is an ECOWAS member and, with the rest of the region, adopted a concerted approach to the implementation of the SEforALL Country Action, with the development of the Action Agenda alongside the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Action Plans, and their formal adoption. Ghana’s SEforALL Action Agenda is based primarily on the Country Action Plan developed through a rigorous consultative process in 2012, updated to reflect the action agenda template. It incorporates the country’s Energy Sector policies and the programmes of the two energy sector ministries, namely the Ministry of Power and the Ministry of Petroleum. Ghana’s high impact SEforALL targets for Electricity Access are to provide universal access to electricity for Ghana’s island and riverside communities, to increase the productive use of electricity in both on and off-grid electrified communities through targeted interventions, and to provide universal access to Clean Cooking Solutions. Renewable energy is currently contributing 0.3% to the electricity generation mix, but the National Energy Policy (2010) has a goal of reaching a 10% contribution of renewable energy in the electricity generation mix by 2020.

(Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images) Photo: Thearon W. Henderson / Getty Images Last season, Bruce Irvin was on the field for nearly 85 percent of the Raiders’ defensive snaps and never fewer than two-thirds of their snaps in a game. In Monday night’s 33-13 loss to the Rams, Irvin played fewer than half of the defensive snaps for the Raiders - 31 of 63. Irvin’s in a new role this season as a rush-first defensive end, and as promised the Raiders used a heavy rotation along their defensive front in their season-opener. As some might have feared, meanwhile, particularly after the Raiders traded Khalil Mack to the Bears, their defensive front didn’t generate much of a pass-rush. Irvin recorded the Raiders’ lone sack, forcing a fumble by Jared Goff in the second quarter that led the Rams to attempt a long field goal that sailed wide. The Raiders were credited with one quarterback hit the rest of the game. And according to Pro Football Focus, they totaled five pressures against Goff, tied for fewest in the NFL in Week 1. “You can run the ball like (the Rams) ran in the second half, it’s very hard to rush the passer,” Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said. “Obviously we didn’t get to Goff enough, and we didn’t get to (Todd) Gurley enough. We’ll take a good look at the reasons why we didn’t.” A look at the snap counts in the Raiders’ opening loss: Defensive line: Irvin is the de facto leader on that defensive front now that Mack is gone. But the Raiders had him on the field for 31 snaps - fewer than rookie Arden Key (32) and veteran Frostee Rucker (41). Rucker started in place of the inactive Tank Carradine, who’d spent much of training camp and preseason playing in place of Mack. When the Raiders drafted Key, Gruden said they saw him as a third edge rusher who could spell Irvin and Mack. With Mack gone, Key’s taking on a larger role and had an inconsistent debut Monday. Key got into the backfield once and just missed Goff, had Gurley run past him on a 19-yard touchdown and didn’t have a lot of success rushing against the Rams’ tackles. “Obviously I don’t think it was a smashing debut by any sense,” Gruden said of Key. “We need to get more pass-rush, and that goes for all of us.” Rookie Maurice Hurst (42 snaps) led the Raiders’ defensive linemen with three tackles and P.J. Hall (32) had their other tackle for loss. Defensive tackle Justin Ellis led all linemen playing 45 snaps. Defensive ends Fadol Brown (17 snaps) and Shilique Calhoun (12) appeared briefly. Linebacker: The Raiders spent much of the game in their nickel personnel with two linebackers on the field. Tahir Whitehead played all 63 defensive snaps and led the Raiders with seven tackles, adding a tackle for loss and a pass defensed. Derrick Johnson played alongside him for 39 snaps, while second-year player Marquel Lee played 24 snaps. Emmanuel Lamur, clearly the fourth option in this group, played one snap. Cornerback: Leon Hall, 33, could turn out to be one of the more valuable additions the Raiders made this offseason. As the primary slot corner, Hall played all but one defensive snap and recorded six tackles and a pass defensed. His main assignment, Rams slot receiver Cooper Kupp, finished with five catches for 52 yards and a touchdown. Gareon Conley and Rashaan Melvin started on the outside, but Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie rotated in for both players during the game. Melvin and Rodgers-Cromartie both drew costly pass interference penalties covering Rams speedster Brandin Cooks downfield. Conley played 57 of 63 snaps, Melvin played 49 and Rodgers-Cromartie played 20 snaps. Safety: Along with Whitehead, the only other Raider to play the entire game on defense was Reggie Nelson, 34, who finished with four tackles. Marcus Gilchrist started alongside Nelson, playing 56 snaps. Karl Joseph, a starter last season, apparently has not stood out to the new coaching staff - he played just seven snaps. Erik Harris did not play a defensive snap. Receiver: The Raiders used only three receivers in the game - Jordy Nelson (72 snaps), Amari Cooper (69) and Seth Roberts (47). Nelson led them with three catches for 23 yards, Roberts had a catch for 11 yards and Cooper had one catch for nine yards on three targets. Coach Jon Gruden and quarterback Derek Carr said after the game the Rams had schemed to take away their outside receivers with safety help, leaving favorable matchups against their tight ends and running backs. Still, Gruden acknowledged the Raiders will have to do a better job of getting their receivers, particularly Cooper, involved in the passing game. Keon Hatcher and Dwayne Harris both played on special teams but not offense. Brandon LaFell was inactive after joining the team a week ago. Tight end: Jared Cook had a huge game with nine catches for 180 yards. The Raiders came out for their first drive with two tight ends, Cook and Derek Carrier, and showed that look often in the rest of the game. Cook played 67 of 74 offensive snaps, while Carrier played 25 and Lee Smith played 9 snaps. Smith was also pressed into duty as the emergency long snapper. Running backs: Marshawn Lynch did his “Beast Mode” thing on a 10-yard touchdown run to cap the Raiders’ opening drive, carrying defenders the final few yards with a push from teammates. Lynch, though, played just 27 snaps and Doug Martin played only 10. Jalen Richard led the group with 37 snaps and did most of his damage catching passes from Carr out of the backfield - he was targeted 11 times and had nine catches for 55 yards. Lynch led the Raiders with 41 rushing yards on 11 attempts as they averaged 4.1 yards on 23 carries. Offensive line: No surprises here - the starting line played the entire game, with tackles Kolton Miller and Donald Penn holding up fairly well against a strong Rams defensive front. Carr was sacked once - though there was a scary moment early when Aaron Donald broke through the line and appeared to dive into the lower leg of Carr, who quickly popped back up.

Leading the charge was LG Socceroo striker Mark Viduka, who notched up his 14th goal of the season, in Leeds' 1-0 victory over Barnsley. With the majority of world leagues still in winter recess, third round FA Cup ties have dominated English soccer this week, with a multitude of our Aussies Abroad involved in the action. Leading the charge was LG Socceroo striker Mark Viduka, who notched up his 14th goal of the season, in Leeds' 1-0 victory over Barnsley. Viduka's match-winner came in the ninth minute, with Leeds again having to do without the services of Harry Kewell, who it seems will now miss up to a month of action after picking up a double - a kick to his achilles and a calf strain, in recent play. The fourth round draw has not been particularly kind to Leeds, but the tie, against Liverpool, will see Viduka hoping to emulate his previous four goal haul against the Merseysiders. Also advancing to the fourth round is Sheffield Wednesday, beating Norwich 2-1 at home to set up a meeting with Southampton … Con Blatsis was replaced in the 90th minute for Wednesday, and is only likely to play for the first division side in the next round if his loan period is extended. He could however still play for Derby County, who will meet Blackburn Rovers in the next round … Rovers defeated Chester 2-0, with John Filan remaining on the bench. Kevin Muscat played a full game, and cleared a shot off the line as Wolves advanced with a 1-0 away win over Nottingham Forest, Gareth Edds putting in a full effort in Forest's defeat. Danny Tiatto played a full match and was responsible for his side's opening goal, providing the corner from where it was scored, as Manchester City beat Birmingham City 3-2 at home, to set up a meeting with Coventry City in the next round. Stan Lazaridis played the full game for Birmingham City and delivered the cross for his side's second goal, while John Aloisi remained on the bench as Coventry City beat Swindon Town 2-0 to set up the meeting against Tiatto's club … on the receiving end with Swindon Town was Danny Invincibile, who played a full match. Also on the receiving end of defeat was Shaun Murphy, who put in a full ninety minutes as Sheffield United was eliminated 1-0 by Southampton. As yet undecided are the fates of Queens Park Rangers and Notts County … George Kulcsar was replaced at half-time in QPR's 3-3 draw with Luton Town, while Danny Allsopp played a full game as Notts County drew 2-2 away to Wimbledon. In the Conference League, John Brady played a full match, as Rushden & Diamonds beat Southport 3-1 away from home, with Scott Guyett putting in a full 90 minutes for Southport, while Vince Matassa also put in a full game as Woking drew 1-1 at home with Doncaster. Midweek, LG Socceroo goalkeeper Mark Bosnich marked his return to action, playing a full game for Manchester United in a specially arranged friendly against Wrexham, a fixture that provided the opportunity for several players coming back from injury to gain match-fitness … the game finished in a 4-4 draw. And the draw for the third round of the Scottish Cup has been made, possibly pitting three Australians against eachother in one game … Rangers takes on third division Brechin, with defenders Tony Vidmar and Craig Moore in line to take on Brechin striker Ben Honeyman .. in other games, Stuart Lovell's Hibernian will take on Clyde, while Chris Coyne's Dundee will meet Falkirk, all ties to be played January 27/28. In off-field news, LG Socceroo midfielder Brett Emerton seems to have caught the eye of former Australian boss Terry Venables, with English reports having the Feyenoord player's progress being monitored by Venables and Middlesbrough .. Emerton however, only in the first of a four year contract, seems to be content to stay with the Dutch League leaders for the time being. And finally, several of our overseas stars have cause for celebration this week … Stuart Lovell and Mark Bosnich both turn 29 … Jon Brady celebrates his 26th birthday, while Adrian Caceres turns 19 … and Stan and Mary Lazaridis will be getting used to some sleepless nights with the arrival of their first child, Dior Patrice Lazaridis.	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0007.json.gz/line1618656

Jo Xie and Tommy Yuen are have bought the former site of the Rollermania skate shop on Park Row and are renovating it to be a local tea shop. The pair recently had the shopfront shutters re-painted to cover up old graffiti. The new shop owners outside the soon-to-be tea shop (Image: Bristol Live) According to Bristol Live, Mr Hamada, a workman hired to fit out the new tea shop, was mid-way through re-painting the shutters when he was told some shocking news. He said: “I came back, saw a guy was standing there – he was really upset, like he was crying a bit. “I came up to him and I said ‘what’s up? Did I do something wrong?’ “He told me it was by a famous artist, so I stopped everything and told the landlord.” At that point, the bottom half of the mural – which is painted without stencils and dates from Banksy's early days in the late 80s and early 90s – had been painted black. 'Copycat' Banksy artwork in Clevedon goes missing like original Tommy admitted he had no idea he’d secured a Banksy mural along with the shop itself. He said: “We didn’t know. As soon as we found out we thought ‘Oh no! We’d better keep it.’ "I actually didn’t believe it at first. I’ve lived in Bristol my whole life and I didn’t know this was a Banksy.” Banksy enthusiast Simon Whiteway posted a picture of the half-painted over mural on his Facebook saying: “One of Banksy's original freehand murals on a shutter, circa 1999. Now getting painted over today.” Alongside was a picture of the store from 2014, when it was the Rollermania skate shop, with owners Tony and Louise Coffey outside. “Tony told me Banksy used to come in and offer him original artwork in exchange for a few Stussy t-shirts, Tony refused,” Simon explained. “Hindsight is a wonderful thing.” Bristol graffiti legend Inkie, who grew up tagging the city streets with artists like Banksy, 3D and FLX confirmed it was the work of his fellow artist – but called this particular piece “pretty ugly”. Everything we know so far about Black Cat Micropub set to open in Weston-super-Mare “Not one of his better works... this shutter was first painted by 3D in the late 80’s then by myself and FLX in the early nineties,” he said. “I can confirm it was painted by Banksy as he painted over the one I did with FLX before it he did a pretty ugly job too.” The shop’s new owner, Jo said: “It certainly doesn’t look like most of his other work”. She's also made an offer which will certainly appeal to other Bristol artists. Jo said: “If anyone wants to contact us and come and fill in the bottom half that would be great.” To keep up to date with our latest news, follow us on Facebook and Twitter.

__label__wiki	0.984253	0.984253	Steven Gerrard's three-year-old daughter targeted by vile web troll Rochdale footballer investigated by club over vile online remarks over Anfield skipper's young daughter John Siddle Liverpool's Steven Gerrard Steven Gerrard's three-year-old daughter was targeted by vile online abuse after the Liverpool FC captain and Formby resident posted a picture of her online. Rochdale FC is carrying out an internal inquiry amid reports the sick taunt on an Instagram photo of the former England midfielder and his youngest daughter was posted by a youth player at the club. The young player at the centre of the club’s inquiry has not been named. If it is confirmed a Rochdale youth player was responsible his fledgling career could be in jeopardy after club bosses said they were dealing with the matter internally. The ECHO understands no reports were made to Merseyside Police or Greater Manchester Police, which covers Rochdale, but the comment provoked an angry response from fans. One labelled the footballer a paedophile. The taunt has since been removed. An anonymous source at Rochdale said that whoever was responsible had “landed himself in hot water as the comments had brought the club into disrepute. “A fair few people were appalled and reacted angrily by ringing the club. “There were calls for him to be kicked out but that hasn’t happened yet. “He may escape with a suspension and a fine but he’ll be a lucky boy if he does.” Calls were made on Rochdale supporter forums for the guilty person to be sacked. One said: “Expose him and then sack the vile scum.” Another posted: “It’s a serious issue and the club should and are acting professionally.” A spokeswoman for Rochdale FC said: “The matter has been dealt with internally. We will be making no further comment.” The former England captain has three daughters with wife Alex, 32. The ECHO approached Liverpool FC and Gerrard’s agent for comment.

Pagan Communications ⋅ May 21, 2019 RIVERSIDE, CA, MAY 21, 2019 – As technical director at the Collinsworth School of Music at California Baptist University, Matthew McConnell holds the equipment he purchases to the same high standards expected from the school’s students. When McConnell recently found that he wasn’t satisfied with the sound he was capturing on the string bass and cello instruments during performances, he turned to Jeff Suchy at Apex Audio to find the best solution. After testing various clip-on mics and pick-ups, the duo ultimately selected DPA Microphones’ d:vote™ 4099 Instrument Microphone as the perfect tool for the job. Though these have now become a staple at the school, the use of the d:vote 4099 wasn’t McConnell’s first foray into DPA mics. “I initially discovered DPA a decade ago, when I was trying to close-mic a grand piano, with a closed lid, through a PA system,” he explains. “DPA’s d:screet 4060 Miniature Omnidirectional Microphone helped me get the sound I was looking for, for that application. Soon after, I used a d:screet 4060 on a solo violin (with the included string mount) with similar success. From that point on, I was a big fan of DPA.” More recently, McConnell turned to DPA after having a tough time finding a good mic position for string bass and cello performers who moved around the stage while playing. “I heard about the d:vote 4099 and purchased three of them, based mainly on my previous experience with the brand,” he says. “It was better than I could have hoped. The microphone stayed in place while the musicians performed. After that, I bought them for the entire cello section.” DPA microphones are used in almost every Collinsworth School of Music event, especially those that rely on a PA system. The school produces roughly 400 live events each academic year, with most of them taking place off-campus in churches, grade schools and public venues. In all, the university’s DPA inventory consists of 51 DPA d:vote 4099 instrument mics, 11 d:screet 4060/4061 Stereo Kits, four wired d:facto 4018VL Vocal Linear Microphones, one wireless d:facto 4018V Vocal Microphone for Shure and seven d:fine 4088 Directional Headset Microphones. “After we first started using the d:vote 4099s, I would get comments from brass players about how easy it was to switch a d:vote 4099 from a trumpet to flugelhorn,” says McConnell. “When students listen back to live recordings, they always note how transparent the microphone sounds. I remember the first event we did with a DPA d:facto vocal mic. As soon as the MC started speaking, another faculty member turned to me and asked how I made the person speaking sound so great. I showed him the EQ, which was flat, and told him it was good placement and a great microphone.” During the school’s inaugural event at the recently built California Baptist University Events Center, McConnell employed a full complement of DPA mics with great success. “We utilized 106 channels of audio from more than 55 DPA mics, and they sounded amazing,” he adds. “Everyone was pleased with the sound in the room. The d:vote 4099 is as close to perfect as I have found for live PA.” In addition to its fantastic sound quality, McConnell is also impressed with how the DPA mics fit into his daily workflow and notes that the d:vote 4099 takes up less storage space. “We now use only a fraction of the number of mic stands that we used to,” he continues. “Instrumental performers are freed up to move around on stage as needed, and it’s really convenient for when the students need to stand up for a featured solo. With the d:vote 4099, I can connect into a wireless pack, and now a trumpet player can literally move anywhere on the stage and still sound great. DPA will continue to be used for all future events produced by the school.” Since implementation of the d:vote 4099 at the Collinsworth School of Music, DPA has released a new, upgraded version of the 4099, the d:vote CORE 4099 Instrument Microphone. The CORE by DPA amplifier is a powerful new technology that brings more clarity and details to music across the entire dynamic range. McConnell recently purchased four d:vote CORE 4099 mics for a church project and was so impressed that he would like to incorporate the CORE line of mics into the school’s audio locker as soon as possible.

Just a few days after the first action-packed clip dropped for Chris Carter’s new sci-fi series The After, the entire pilot episode has gone live at Amazon. Want to see? Though he’s had a few projects crash and burn in development hell over the years, this marks Carter’s first real return to sci-fi television since The X-Files, and it doesn’t skimp on the ambition. If the pilot is picked up, the series will follow eight strangers who must “help each other survive in a violent world that defies explanation.” Yeah, that's vague, but we wouldn't want to spoil things. The expansive cast includes Aldis Hodge, Andrew Howard, Arielle Kebbel, Jamie Kennedy, Sharon Lawrence, Sam Littlefield, Louise Monot, Jaina Lee Ortiz, Adrian Pasdar, Jason Lewis, Brynn Bowie, Madison Bowie, Giovanni Lopes, Fred Cross, Stacey Rand, Greg Collins, Don Harvey, Rolando Boyce, Dove Meir and J.R. Cruz. After rolling out some half-hour comedies and kiddie shows last season, Amazon is definitely ramping things up this year. The After is a huge shot across the bow at scripted sci-fi, and we’d love to see more of what Carter could do with the concept. It definitely has a Flashforward and The Event vibe, though hopefully Carter can avoid the pitfalls that killed those fellow "high-concept" projects. Click here to head over to Amazon and check it out. An Amazon Prime subscription is required, but you can sign up for a 30-day trial and watch it for free. The company will use viewership data and feedback to determine which projects will move forward for a full season. (Via Amazon)	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0007.json.gz/line1618668

Twist NextFive Los Angeles BBQ Spots You Have to Try this Summer June 26, 2018 January 14, 2019 by Tableside Editorial Staff Pizza Romana Brings Italy’s Best Ingredients to Your Table When Alexander Palermo’s mom came to visit recently, she brought a long-forgotten sixth-grade school project titled “How to Make a Pizza.” She wouldn’t have guessed it at the time, but that Wisconsin school project would prove to be the first step in her son’s lifelong journey to share Italian cooking with the world. Palermo founded The Divine Pasta Company in 1992, one of the largest suppliers of handcrafted pasta and sauces in the world (if you’ve ever been to Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s you’ve likely unknowingly enjoyed his pasta sauce), as well as L.A.’s own Pizza Romana on La Brea Ave. His philosophy towards food originates with his Italian heritage, but the impetus for his empire can be traced back to his family’s move from Rome to Wisconsin in the 1970s. Salumi and Formaggi Plate “When we came to the United States, all of the sudden, access to fresh ingredients became a luxury,” says Palermo, who, as a child, was accustomed to eating fresh San Marzano tomatoes from the backyard garden and making pasta by hand every Sunday. “But it doesn’t have to be that way.” Palermo’s desire to make the freshest ingredients possible accessible and affordable informs everything he does. Pizza Romana, for example, is as well-known for its customizable personal pizzas and niche Italian wines as its affordable prices. To make this possible, Palermo puts in an extraordinary amount of effort behind the scenes. “Pizza Romana is a great portrayer of the idea that you can be simple, use the best ingredients, and provide value to your customer. That’s what we are all about,” says Palermo. “I am very proud of where I come from and the culture we have, so my whole goal with Pizza Romana is to help people understand how enjoyable the process of eating is in Italy,” says Palermo. “For me, it’s a very personal thing. I don’t want an industrialized product, I want the best.” Though Pizza Romana is a small storefront, having The Divine Pasta company behind it means that Palermo has a unique advantage: he can buy “ridiculously amazing” ingredients at scale, because of the huge volumes needed for his wholesale business, and supply Pizza Romana with top quality ingredients at a hard-to-beat price point. Here’s how Palermo sources ingredients for some of the most popular menu items at Pizza Romana: Roman-style pizza dough Pizza Romana offers over 15 signature pizzas After visiting 15 different pizza factories across Italy, Palermo fell in love with the specific flavor profile of the dough at the last factory he visited (and now owns). It uses double zero flour — which makes it silkier and easier to chew — and goes through a 24-hour fermentation process to break down the proteins and gluten resulting in a uniquely Roman-style crust that is both crunchy, fluffy and easy to digest. Palermo flies the dough in from Italy each week, then tops it with fresh Mozzarella Di Bufala DOP, sourced from Italy and direct from a manufacturer in Wisconsin, and sauce made from the highest quality San Marzano tomatoes (sourced from another Italian factory owned by Palermo). “Our most famous product from that factory is the Black Truffle Pizza. The factory is 30 kilometers from Norcia, which is considered the epicenter in Italy of black truffle country. But we also make every pizza you could ever imagine,” says Palermo. Under-the-radar wines Mom’s Lasagna Not surprisingly, Palermo sources Pizza Romana’s wine selection with the same standards and vigor as the food. He makes it his mission to find lesser-known, traditional Italian grapes, and to keep bottles priced under 40 dollars. The result: diners are encouraged to experiment with a glass of Aglianico, from Campania, a Falanghina, or even a Lacrima di Moro d’Alba with their pizza. “Moro d’Alba is a very unique grape from the Marche region of Italy that most restaurants don’t carry on their menu because people aren’t aware of it,” says Palermo. “We want people to try these things because that is what makes Italian cuisine so unique.” The Buffalo Mozzarella comes with prosciutto & arugula Palmero also feels strongly about stoking a passion for quality ingredients within his growing company. Tucked away on the rooftop of his corporate headquarters rests a lush garden filled with Meyer lemons, Tarocco, and Sicilian Blood Oranges. It’s a beautiful spot for employees to enjoy views of downtown L.A., as well as the source of fruit for natural citrus sodas served at the restaurant. “It shows our commitment from the company’s side to the ingredients that we use. And it’s a daily reminder that no matter where we go along this path, this is where we come from, this is who we are,” says Palermo.

Why? I'm calling all humans to #AskWhy antisemitism \| Opinion Antisemitism, the prejudice or hatred of Jews, has risen to the level that our country hasn’t seen in decades. Why? Check out this story on tallahassee.com: https://www.tallahassee.com/story/opinion/2018/11/09/im-calling-all-humans-askwhy-opinion/1891684002/ Lauren Fantle, Your Turn Published 2:00 p.m. ET Nov. 9, 2018 Lauren Fantle(Photo: Your Turn) “I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.” — Elie Wiesel, Holocaust survivor and United States Holocaust Memorial Museum founder Antisemitism, the prejudice or hatred of Jews, has risen to the level our country hasn’t seen in decades. Why? #AskWhy is not just a catchy hashtag at the United States Holocaust Museum. It is a serious question that all humans are encouraged to ponder when we think about the Holocaust, and when we see bigotry today. On Nov. 9, 1938 – exactly 80 years ago — Kristallnacht (the Night of the Broken Glass), a state sanctioned pogrom in Germany and other Nazi-acquired territories, terrorized thousands of Jews. At least 91 Jews of all ages were killed, and an estimated 7,500 Jewish businesses and 267 synagogues were destroyed, looted and burned. Firefighters were instructed to not interfere, unless the flames were endangering non-Jewish buildings. Houses and apartments filled with families were ransacked, and many were beaten and raped, right inside their own homes. During Kristallnacht, per Reinhard Heydrich’s instructions, 30,000 males were taken to concentration camps. It’s 2018, yet regularly we hear Nazi, white supremacist, antisemitic, racist and cryptic “dog whistle” terms. Many of us had erroneously assumed we had evolved away from such base ideology — that overall we had matured. But sadly, that is not the case. Last weekend on the Jewish Sabbath, 11 people were murdered at Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh — simply for being Jewish. Before opening fire, the shooter shouted, “All Jews must die!” Hatred unchecked is dangerous — it is deadly — and we must as a human race show solidarity and support against all forms of bigotry. Now is the time to wake up and say, “No!” to hate. It’s time to teach our children to stand up, speak out, and to not be passive bystanders. When epithets and “jokes” meant to demean a person go unchecked, we create groups that are “other,” and we have allowed a seed to be planted that grows into a dangerous “us” vs. “them.” Hate groups subscribe to the idea that there is a superior “us” and an inferior “them.” Sadly, hate groups are feeling emboldened in this ideology. We can combat hatred (and ignorance) by coming together as a “we”—a unified humanity. Antisemitism is not just a Jewish problem; it is a human problem. Persecution of the Jews is often considered a “canary in the coal mine,” as other marginalized groups later become targets, too, once antisemitism rears its head. Martin Niemoller, a Protestant pastor and an enthusiastic supporter of the Third Reich, eventually became a target of the Nazis himself. He is best known for this poetic warning: "First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out — because I was not a socialist. "Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out — because I was not a trade unionist. "Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out — because I was not a Jew. "Then they came for me — and there was no one left to speak for me." Kristallnacht occurred 80 years ago, but in 2018, we should heed the current warning signs of an elevated hatred; we must stand together in solidarity as a human race. And we should never forget to speak out and to #AskWhy. Lauren Fantle is a United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Fellow.

It was announced by Swala CEO Dr. David Ridge after the Annual General Meeting that the company recently held to mainly discuss what the implications of falling energy prices were for East African countries. Brent Crude Oil price has approximately fell 61% from USD 130 per barrel in June, 2014 to USD 50 per barrel in June, 2015 bringing down energy share prices around the world, explained Dr. Ridge. To fund explorations to be undertaken in 2016, the company decided to farm out to Tata Petrodyne Limited (TPL) its share on Kilosa-Kilombero and Pangani licenses, where it holds a 25% stake awarded by Tanzania’s Ministry of Energy and Mining (MEM) with a three years production period from February, 2017 to 2020. With the new agreement, TPL will pay Swala USD 5.7 million as account of past costs, up to USD 2.5 million for one exploration well in Kilombero, up to USD 2.1 million for one exploration well in Pangani, and extras USD 1 million for an additional successful discovery in Kilombero if any. This agreement will help Swala to get funds between USD 6 million and USD 7.5 million that enable the company to finance its operational costs for next year, Dr. Ridge added. TPL will also pay approximately USD 4.5 million of Swala’s drilling costs and if any successful discovery comes up, the company will additionally receive USD 1 million which would total up to USD 12.5 million and support the company’s activities for next years to avoid funding through equity, he concluded. RELATED: Tanzania Private Sector Urged to Invest in Uganda Oil Refinery Swala’s findings on Kilosa-Kilombero and Pangani licenses indicate that in the total area of over 34,000 square km, the reserves of oil are estimated to be over four billion barrels. At a current oil price of around USD 46.05 per barrel according to Bloomberg, the reserves represent a total value of USD 184.2 billion, enough to cover the country’s demand on foreign energy for 63 years.	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0007.json.gz/line1618674

__label__cc	0.606407	0.393593	Below you'll find a list of all posts that have been tagged as “blue shiield” Reset the Autonomic Nervous System non-invasively with Sphenopalatine Ganglion Blocks. A method of improving quality of health while reducing the costs of medical care and the overuse of pharmaceuticals with associated reduction in negative side effects. Unfortunately, Insurance companies are behaving in a penny wise -pound foolish way when it comes to coverage of Sphenopalatine Ganglion Blocks. They see the blocks as an expense rather than looking for ways to make SPG Blocks a resource to lower health care expenses for both patients and insurance companies. The biggest danger of SPG Blocks is that they will not be utilized appropriately and patients will suffer from both lack of treatment and negative siide effects of other treatments. The Sphenopalatine Ganglion or SPG is the largest parasympathetic ganglion of the head and contains both sympathetic nerves from the Superior Cervical Sympathetic Chain and parasympathetic nerves whose cell bodies are in the Sphenopalatine Ganglion. Resetting the autonomic nervous by treating the Sphenopalatine Ganglion with anesthetic (cocaine) was first described in 1909 by Greenfield Sluder for the treatment of Sphenopalatine Neuralgia or Sluder’s Neuralgia. This is commonly thought to bee either cluster headqahes or a TMD dysfunction today. After the initial use of the block in 1909 it was investigated for treating a wide variety of head, neck and facial pains. There were thousands of blocks done for a wide variety of disorders and dysfunctions with an amazingly high degree of success and minimal reports of negative side effects. In 1930 Hyram Byrd MD published a paper “Sphenopalatine Phenomena” in the “Annals of Internal Medicine” or JAMA that summed up results of 10,000 Sphenopalatine Ganglion Blocks in 2000 patients. Dr Sluder later went on to become the head of Otolaryngology at Washington University School of Medicine in St Louis where he continued his research into this remarkable block. He later published a medical textbook “Nasal Neurology” much of which was devoted to this subject. While there were universally positive results utilizing SPG Blocks they almost became part of “Forgotten Medicine” the waste bin where valuable life changing medicine frequently becomes lost. Did this happen because of problems associated with the procedure? Was it because it was t expensive or dangerous? How is it that successful treatments fall to the wayside? In the case of Sphenopalatine Ganglion Blocks it was the rise of the pharmaceutical empires and the switch in medicine from preventing disease and improving health to the reliance on “Magic Pills” to restore health. At the same time there were changes in diagnostic protocols where CAT Scans, MRIs and many other electro-diagnostic techniques were evolving. The medical profession changed drastically over a period of decades as medicine embraced the pervasive use of pharmaceutical treatments and diagnostic medicine. The SOAP approach to medicine of “Subjective, Objective Assessment and Plan” with Subjective being initially the single most important important part of a medical examination was turned on its head by medical insurance companies who did not reimburse doctors well for talking to patients. This led to an enormous over reliance on medical testing. Medical malpractive attorneys also played their part with an avalanche of questionable lawsuits. Physicians could be severely burned if they did not order a “crucial test”. This reliance on testing changed medicine forever as diagnostic tests were often done more to protect the physician than to improve the health of the patients. Sphenopalatine Ganglion Blocks may have been lost had it not been for an octogenarian ENT physician in New York City, Dr Milton Reder. A physician of an earlier era Dr Reder used SPG Blocks to treat a wide variety of health issues. In 1986 Gerber wrote a book “Miracles on Park Avenue” profiling the work of Dr Milton Reder with patients who had lost hope in medical treatment reporting miraculous cures when seen by Dr Reder. His secret weapon was Sphenopalatiine Ganglion Blocks done with a small piece of cotton soaked in a 10% solution of cocaine. Cocaine was frequently used in ENT practice as an anesthetic and for it use in controlling bleeding. The Sphenopalatine Ganglion is a small part of the brain located out of the main space of the calvarium in the Pterygopalatiine Fossa where it is accessible without invasive techniques. The nasal wall of the Pterygopalaytine Fossa is paper-thin bone covered by mucosa that permits cocaine and other anesthetics such as lidocaine to pass thru the tissues to the ganglion. The Sphenopalatine Ganglion is also known as the Pterygopalatine Ganglion due to it’s position it the Pterygopalatine Fossa. Following the publication of “Miracles on Park Avenue” there was a slow resurgence of the use of Sphenopalatine Ganglion Blocks (SPG Blocks) to treat a wide variety of disorders including eye pain, nose pain, ear pain, sinus pain, headaches, migraines, TMJ disorders, Cluster headaches and other TAC’s. The development of nasal cathers used to deliver anesthetic created new methods of delivering these blocks. Three commercial devices specifically designed for delivering anesthetic to the Sphenopalatine Ganglion are on the market. The Sphenocath is the first and oldest, the Allevio which is very similar to the Sphenocath and the TX360 which is used in the MIRX protocols. These devices put profits back into the technique and studies were again done showing how effective SPG Blocks. All three of these products are basically “fancy nasal squirt guns” that deposit anesthetic over the area of the Sphenopalatine Ganglion. Except for ease (comfort) of delivery there is no evidence of superiority over the original techniques of Sluder and Byrd. These new studies led to protocols for delivering SPG Blocks multiple time to eliminate or decrease symptoms. The patient will remain supine for 10-20 minutes for the anesthetic to stay in the region of the ganglion. The use of a Trans-Nasal Cotton-Tipped Nasal Catheters (TNC-TNC or TNC) is a return to the original concept of a pledget of cotton soaked in 10% cocaine and delivered on a narrow wire. The cotton-tipped nasal catheter offers continual delivery of the aesthetic to the ganglion via capillary action continually supplying more anesthetic even if the patient is upright or mobile. This allows the patient to function in all daily activities and increase the time exposure to the anesthetic. It also makes a very safe solution of 2% lidocaine as or more effective than 10% cocaine. It also avoids issue of the cocaine being diverted for recreational use. When SPG Blocks are done in physician offices or Emergency Departments in hospitals they become expensive to the health care system and to the patient. The patient also suffers needless visits to physician’s offices and to the ER. The beauty of the Cotton-Tipped Nasal Catheter is that most patients can be taught to Self-Administer SPG Blocks. This allows the blocks to be used prophylactically at home and at the first signs of a problem with virtually no negative side effects. Side effects do occur with SPG Blocks but generally they are positive in nature. Recent articles have detailed how approximately 1/3 of patients with essential hypertension are cured with Sphenopalatine Ganglion Blocks. This is a remarkable side effect that can save hundreds of millions of dollars in medication costs for treating essential hypertension. When one considers cardiac and pulmonary effects of hypertension the saving rapidly grow. I believe that the method of reducing essential hypertension is by turning down the Sympathetic division of the Autonomic Nervous System and allowing the Parasympathetic to become dominant. Sympathetic overload is frequently related to high levels of chronic stress. Chronic Stress turns on out “Fight or Flight” reflex and prolonged stress can lead too many disorders including adrenal fatigue and hypertension. The SPG turn off the Sympathetics allowing the Parasympathetic reflexes to rule, the so-called “Rest and Digest” reflex or the “Feed and Breed” reflex. It stimulated the same system that is stimulated paying with puppies, kittens or babies. The reduction of chronic stress is the basis of all Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the target of countless medications. Sphenopalatine Ganglion Blocks can drastically reduce and/or eliminate anxiety in many patients. It can also reduce symptoms like hives and tension headaches associated with stress. Hans Selye described the negative effects on all aspects of life in his 1950 book “The stress of Life” which is when chronic stress was first seen as a cause of disease. Stress if often blamed for reproductive and hormonal problems. The autonomic nervous system is the system of romantic love and mating. In my very limited experience the expression of sexual desire and/or satisfaction is especially active in females. I suspect that in males the “Spreading of Seed” or the “Genetic Imperative” is more of a Sympatheic response. The receptive females are in their Parasympathetic response. Caring for offspring is a Parasympathetic response but competing for a mate is absolutely Sympathetic especially in males. SPG Blocks are also helpful is relieving severe anxiety associated with Sympathetic Overload and should be considered an aid in the treatment of phobias and PTSD. The Stellate Ganglion Block (SGP) has been shown to “Cure PTSD” with a single shot given to treat shoulder pain related to Chronic Regional Pain Syndromes (Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy) The effect of the blocks is to turn off the sympathetic system causing pain and maintaining PTSD. The consideration that PTSD is actively maintained on an ongoing basis by sympathetic nervous system should open new avenues of treatment.

__label__wiki	0.653971	0.653971	Conditionals with inversions PUC-RJ 2007 IN CRISES, PEOPLE TEND TO LIVE, OR DIE, TOGETHER Shankar Vedantam How the disaster starts does not matter: 1It could be a plane crashing into the World Trade Center, 5it could be the sea receding rapidly ahead of an advancing tsunami, it could be smoke billowing through a nightclub. Human beings in New York, Sri Lanka and Rhode Island all do the same thing in such situations. They turn to each other. They talk. 15They hang around, trying to arrive at a 10shared understanding of what is happening. 16When we look back on such events with the benefit of hindsight, this apparent inactivity can be horrifying. "Get out now!" we want to scream at those people in the upper stories of the South Tower of the World Trade Center, as 6they 11huddle around trying to understand what caused an explosion in the North Tower at 8:46 on a Tuesday morning in September. 17"You only have 16 minutes before your exit will be cut off," we want to tell them. "Don't try to understand what is happening. Just go." 2Experts who study disasters are slowly coming to realize that rather than try to change human behavior to adapt to building codes and workplace rules, it may be necessary to adapt technology and rules to human behavior. For all the disaster preparations put in place since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the behavior of people confronted with ambiguous new information remains one of the most serious challenges for disaster planners. 18Computer models 12assume that people will flow out of a building like water, emptying through every possible exit. But the reality is far different. People talk. They confer. They go back to their desk. They change their mind. They try to exit the building the way they came in, rather than through the nearest door. Building engineers at the World Trade Center had estimated that escaping people would move at a rate of more than three feet per second. On Sept. 11, 2001, said Jason Averill, an engineer at the National Institute for Standards and Technology who studies human behavior during evacuations, people escaped at only one-fitfh that speed. Although the towers were only one-third to one-half full, the stairwells were at capacity, he said. 3Had the buildings been full, Averill said, about 14,000 people would probably have died. That is because the larger the group, the greater the effort and time needed to build a common understanding of the event and a consensus about a course of action, said sociologist Benigno E. Aguirre of the University of Delaware. If a single person in a group does not want to take an alarm seriously, he or she can 13impede the escape of the entire group. The picture of what happened on Sept. 11 is very different from 14conventional assumptions about crowd behavior, in 7which it is assumed that people would push each other out of the way to save their own lives. In actuality, 4human beings in crisis behave more nobly - and 8this could also be their undoing. 19People reach out not only to build a shared understanding of the event but also to help one another. In so doing, they may delay their own escape. This may be why groups often perish or survive together - people are unwilling to escape if someone they know and care about is left behind. This may be why in fire disasters, Aguirre said, entire families often perish. "The most important factor for human beings is our affinitive behavior," he said. "You love your child and wife and parents; 9that is what makes you human. In conditions of great danger, many people continue to do that. … People will go back into the fire to try to rescue loved ones." Adapted from the Washington Post Monday, September 11, 2006; Page A02 "Had the buildings been full,... about 14,000 people would probably have died." (ref. 3) means the same as: The buildings had been full of 14,000 dead people. Fourteen thousand people died because the buildings were full. Though the buildings were full, about 14,000 people didn't die. Had the buildings been filled with 14,000 people, no one would have died. About fourteen thousand people could have been killed if the buildings had been full. Módulo anterior:Wish aula aberta 1. Zero conditional 2. First conditional Exercício PUCPR 2007 3.

__label__wiki	0.711439	0.711439	West Suffolk College ranked top GCSE English provider for adults PUBLISHED: 16:00 17 June 2019 Jason Noble Local Democracy Reporter From left to right: English lecturers Emily Gellard and Jan Whelan, programme leader Piers Alexander, head of adult skills Deborah Barton and English lecturer Mary Clements, celebrate the college's ranking. Picture: DANNY HEWITT Danny Hewitt West Suffolk College was the top provider in the country for adults taking GCSE English last year, latest figures have revealed. The college ranked top of more than 170 further education provider colleges nationally with a 29% success rate above the national average at 69.7% A-C. Adult achievement rates for GCSE maths were 61.3% A-C - 28% above the national average - making it the fourth most successful college for that subject. West Suffolk College bosses said the detailed feedback to students and top quality teaching had helped it become a the destination of choice for Suffolk adults looking to get their GCSEs. Deborah Barton, head of adult skills and employability said: "This success is down to our very committed teaching staff and dedicated students. "Our team really support the adults that come to us, some of whom feel really nervous about coming back to the classroom. "The staff support them both academically and personally to achieve and engage with the subject and go above and beyond to create adult specific sessions that the learners will find stimulating. "In addition, the students really benefit from the detailed feedback from their assessments and homework and this provides the support needed to ensure that the students keep coming back every week and that they know how they can improve to keep on achieving those high grades. In essence it's just really good teaching." The college said many adult learners found returning to the classroom an anxious experience, so aimed to make the transition as smooth as possible. Among those making the change are those looking for a career change and need updated qualifications, people who may never have achieved their GCSEs when they were at school the first time, leisure learners and those looking to progress to college and university courses. Data published in January revealed 64% of all GCSE students in Suffolk were achieving the expected A*-C rating in English and maths, to put the county among the top third in the country. The college is laying on a series of free taster sessions throughout this week in Sudbury, Haverhill and Thetford, with sessions including yoga, photography, floristry, Spanish and using Microsoft Excel.

__label__wiki	0.88286	0.88286	Verizon Envisions 4G Wireless in Just about Anything At an “innovation center,” Verizon adds wireless to cars, ATMs, and jukeboxes. by David Talbot Heads up: Verizon’s Innovation Center shows off a headset, called Golden-i, that can do things like provide streaming video to security guards’ eyepieces. Tucked away in a new office block in Waltham, Massachusetts, is a kind of wireless Tomorrowland. Inside several colorfully lit chambers, visitors can marvel over a Buick that displays a live video stream from the owner’s living room, ATMs that allow wireless video chats with bank representatives, and head-mounted displays that might someday deliver live security camera video feeds to patrolling security guards. The center was created by Verizon, which, along with other major carriers, is heavily promoting business partnerships based on its wireless broadband service—even though today’s network congestion means consumers can sometimes find it a challenge simply watching a few streaming episodes of The Simpsons on their smart phones. The LTE Innovation Center, as it’s called, envisions all manner of devices using Verizon’s newer and faster 4G LTE network, which provides speeds up to 10 times faster than the older 3G network that is the focus of much of today’s congestion issues. (Verizon slows data transfers to 3G customers when networks are congested. AT&T slows data transfers after users hit a three-gigabyte monthly threshold.) For now, Verizon’s LTE network has fewer than six million subscribers and isn’t being fully utilized—much less throttled—says Chetan Sharma, an independent wireless analyst based in Seattle. But as 3G subscribers migrate to LTE and more people buy smart phones, LTE congestion will become a greater risk, he adds. Verizon is hardly the only player drumming up business. All of the major carriers are interested in boosting revenue by dreaming up and promoting new uses for faster wireless broadband—especially for business customers. “They really want to find out how to get revenue not just from consumers using networks, but from businesses,” says Janne Lindqvist, a research professor at the Winlab at Rutgers University. “I don’t find it surprising that even though they have congestion problems now, they are trying to find different ways to get more subscribers.” Lindqvist says it’s not entirely clear how bad congestion really is, but says it’s not necessarily paradoxical to throttle data on the one hand while promoting more usage on the other. “This kind of fits the scheme: you limit consumers now so you can support more customers and applications later,” he says. Mobile nannycam: A prototype Buick dashboard at Verizon’s Innovation Center displays streaming video from a mock living room, using LTE. Verizon opened the testing and demonstration site last year. More than 300 employees work there with partners to develop new business models. In adjacent labs, engineers test new radio product concepts in rooms with walls that shield against stray wireless signals that could cause interference. One business that’s already signed on is TouchTunes, a maker of interactive jukeboxes—one of which hangs on the wall at the Verizon Center. The company streams songs and video to 52,000 jukeboxes in bars and restaurants around the United States. A company spokeswoman, Liz Anklow, says an undisclosed percentage of these already use wired and wireless broadband, including both 3G and LTE, which makes it easier to sell and maintain the system in more places. However, much of what’s on display in Waltham—save the car—could connect to available fiber connections or Wi-Fi networks, if available. But “most of this is based on the idea of ‘bring your own broadband’—everything is plug-and-play,” says Praveen Atreya, director of the center. In other words, the gadgets simply need power to operate and do not require the user to have preëxisting wired broadband service. “The vision is that there is going to be an LTE pipe providing a combination of infotainment, security services, surveillance, and home control that you can access from anywhere.” Jukebox hero: Some of the 52,000 digital TouchTunes jukeboxes installed around the U.S. use wireless broadband for ease of installation and billing. As an example, he points to the Buick’s rear license plate. A video camera just above the plate can be programmed to dispatch a blast of streaming video when the car is bumped. You’d get a message on your smart phone and an image of who hit you, he says. Similarly, cameras inside the car could let you see how many teenagers piled in after junior borrowed the keys, he adds. An electric meter rigged with an LTE radio chip, he says, would initially do low-bandwidth tasks such as sending reports on kilowatt-hours used. But it could also be the basis of wider services offered by your power utility, such as home security monitoring. While wired security cameras could be cut off by physically severing a cable, wireless cameras are more tamper-proof. “Now these guys have a gateway; if they want to add water metering, and gas metering, and multiple nannycams, they can do all of that,” says Atreya. “They could even end up offering broadband service to the home, because they have X amount of data left.” The Verizon center previously hosted a prototype deployment of an LTE network before that network was commercially deployed in December 2010. The company has demonstrated more than 30 products there. Partners include Alcatel-Lucent, Ericsson, Cisco, and Samsung Mobile. David Talbot	cc/2019-30/en_middle_0007.json.gz/line1618695

Libya's relations with Switzerland broke down in 2008 when one of Colonel Gaddafi's sons, Hannibal, was arrested in a Geneva hotel and charged with assaulting a member of his staff. Photo: GETTY By Martin Evans 7:18AM GMT 26 Feb 2010 He said Muslims everywhere had a duty to act against the country, which he claimed had been destroying mosques. "Any Muslim in any part of the world who works with Switzerland is an apostate, is against (the Prophet) Mohammad, and God and the Koran," he told a meeting in the eastern Libyan city of Benghazi. In his rambling address he added: "The masses of Muslims must go to all airports in the Islamic world and prevent any Swiss plane landing, to all harbours and prevent any Swiss ships docking, inspect all shops and markets to stop any Swiss goods being sold." Libya's relations with Switzerland broke down in 2008 when one of Colonel Gaddafi's sons, Hannibal, was arrested in a Geneva hotel and charged with assaulting a member of his staff. He was detained for two days before being released, but in protest Libya cut oil supplies to Switzerland, withdrew billions of dollars from Swiss bank accounts and arrested two Swiss businessmen working in the North African country. Gaddafi's 'Switzerland jihad' call condemned Swiss hand 'fugitive' to Libya after 19 months Lockerbie bomber living in luxury Gaddafi told supporters the Swiss referendum last year, in which 57.5 per cent of voters called for a ban on the construction of minarets, proved it was an "infidel state". The federal government had however urged voters to reject the vote, warning it would contravene religious freedom. But Gaddafi said: "Let us fight against Switzerland, Zionism and foreign aggression." The Libyan dictator, who has been in power since 1969, said what he was proposing was not terrorism and he condemned the work of al-Qaeda branding it a "kind of crime and a psychological disease". He told the crowd: "There is a big difference between terrorism and jihad which is a right to armed struggle." The Swiss Foreign Ministry refused to comment on his remarks.

__label__cc	0.632777	0.367223	Britons expected to spend £300 million on 'Cyber Monday' Today is expected to be the busiest shopping day of the year for online retailers Retailers expect Cyber Monday to be the biggest online shopping day of the year Photo: Play.com 12:45PM GMT 30 Nov 2009 Retailers are gearing up for a virtual stampede of customers as the online Christmas shopping season begins in earnest. Scores of stores, including Amazon and Play.com are holding "Monday Madness" one-day sales. Many workers will be receiving their last pay cheque before Christmas today, prompting an unprecedented online spending spree. Visa is expecting to handle around 1,600 transactions a minute, with the number of shoppers expected to peak at lunchtime and then again at 7pm this evening. The company anticipates that sales will be up 25 per cent compared to Cyber Monday last year, and that around £175 million will be spent on Visa cards. In the United States, many stores are continuing the sales and price cuts launched on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving that traditionally marks the start of the Christmas shopping rush. According to the website Shop.org, a record 96.5 million online shoppers are expected to make an internet purchase today, almost 11 million more than on Cyber Monday 2008. For shoppers who prefer the hustle and bustle of the high street, Dec 23 looks set to be the busiest retail day of the year, with shoppers snapping up last minute gifts ahead of the holiday weekend. Visa predicts it will handle around 17 million transactions on that day alone, worth an estimated £860 million. Cyber Monday: almost 100m Americans plan to take advantge of online deals Shoppers in £300m online spree Forget Black Friday. It's all about Cyber Monday Cyber Monday set to eclipse Black Friday Amazon said its busiest shopping day last year was Dec 8, when it received 1.4 million orders, the equivalent of 16 per second. A spokesman for the online retailer said they expected this year to be their busiest ever, as more customers "discover the benefits" of shopping on the internet. John Lewis recently announced that monthly online sales are up between 30 and 40 per cent year-on-year, and has already beaten last year's online Christmas sales record. Amazon predicts that big sellers this year will include iPod touch music players, Joseph & Joseph chopping boards, the latest novel by Dan Brown, and the DVD releases of Star Trek and Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
