BkiUeBk4eIOjRwMTjapO | Rulers should introspect everyday if decisions taken are good: CJI
Last Updated : 22 Nov 2021 11:35:07 PM IST
Chief Justice of India N.V. Ramana on Monday said the rulers should introspect everyday whether the decisions taken by them are good and also check if they have any bad characteristics. He emphasized that in a democracy people are ultimate lords and the decisions of the dispensation should benefit them.
Justice Ramana said this while delivering the 40th convocation address of the Andhra Pradesh-based Sri Sathya Sai Institute for Higher Learning. Citing ancient scriptures Mahabharat and Ramayana, Justice Ramana said there are 14 bad qualities of rulers which they should avoid.
He said: "All the rulers in the democratic set-up, before beginning their routine work, should introspect whether they have any bad characteristics. There is need to offer just administration and it should be according to people's needs". After making a speech in English, the Chief Justice addressed the audience in Telugu.
Justice Ramana added that the people are the ultimate lords in democracy and whatever decision has been taken by the dispensation should benefit them. He further added it was his desire that all the systems should be independent (within the country) and also honest, with an aim to serve the people, which was also said by Sathya Sai Baba.
In the English part of the address, Justice Ramana said the modern education system tends to focus only on the 'utilitarian' function of education and it is not equipped to deal with the moral and spiritual function which builds the character of the students.
He said: "Unfortunately, the modern education system tends to focus only on the 'utilitarian' function of education. Such a system is not equipped to deal with the 'moral' or 'spiritual' function of education which builds the character of our students and allows them to develop a social consciousness and a sense of responsibility."
He added that true education is the one which imbibes moral values and virtues of humility, discipline, selflessness, compassion, tolerance, forgiveness and mutual respect.
"You will have to deal with people from different walks of life that may occasionally challenge you. But be tolerant. Hold onto certain core values as you walk through this journey of life, and experience all the richness it can offer you", said Justice Ramana.
Lauding the university's founder Sathya Sai Baba, the Chief Justice said: "Education in this prestigious Institution has inculcated both ethical and moral values in the students. He promoted a combination of 'worldly learning' and 'spiritual learning'. This philosophy radiates in this institution. It flows from our rich mythology and Vedic philosophy." | commoncrawl | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

Understanding heatwaves
Severe and extreme heatwaves have claimed more lives than any other natural hazard in Australia1. Heatwaves can be dangerous because they pose health risks to the most vulnerable, such as elderly people and very young children. Heatwaves can also affect the transport, agriculture and energy sectors and associated infrastructure. So, when is it a heatwave, rather than just hot, and how will you know if one is on the way?
What is a heatwave?
A heatwave occurs when the maximum and the minimum temperatures are unusually hot over a three-day period at a location. This is considered in relation to the local climate and past weather at the location.
It takes more than just a high daily maximum temperature to define a heatwave. It's also about how much it cools down overnight. Hot days without hot nights allow some recovery from each day's heat, but if the temperature stays high overnight, the maximum will be reached earlier the following day and will last longer. When unusually high night and daytime temperatures persist, heat stress becomes a critical factor in human health and whether infrastructure functions properly.
In heatwaves, hot nights make it harder to recover from the heat of the day and this puts more stress on the body.
Heatwave intensity
For each part of the country, we compare the forecast maximum and minimum temperatures for each three-day period in the coming week (e.g. Monday-Wednesday, Tuesday-Thursday) to what would be considered hot for that location, and also to observed temperatures over the last 30 days.
Heatwaves are classified into three types, based on intensity.
Low-intensity heatwaves are more frequent during summer. Most people can cope during these heatwaves.
Severe heatwaves are less frequent and are likely to be more challenging for vulnerable people such as the elderly, particularly those with medical conditions.
Extreme heatwaves are rare. They are a problem for people who don't take precautions to keep cool—even for people who are healthy. People who work or exercise outdoors are also at greater risk of being affected.

BkiUd4s4dbghOwL14U7Z | Vibratech TVD is a driveline vibration damper supplier to many bus manufacturers. One market leader was faced with a potentially deal breaking NVH concern. What was described as a 'driveline growl' was reverberating through the body panels and creating an uncomfortable passenger environment. The noise was more pronounced at idle when stopped in traffic.
won't accept because of driveline noise"
The bus manufacturer concluded that all supplied powertrain components met their respective requirements. For an expert analysis, Vibratech TVD was sought after to help solve the challenge.
The buses were equipped with a new in-line six cylinder diesel engine and hybrid transmission. The driveline consisted of a traditional T-drive layout. A legacy Vibratech TVD viscous damper from another configuration had been installed between the tranmission and driveshaft.
A test plan was developed and the Vibratech TVD engineering team, along with mobile testing equipment, arrived at the manufacturer. A laser optical sensor was fitted to the legacy damper to read the driveshaft vibration while accelerormeters on the transmission tailshaft housing and axle pinion housing would help to determine the source. Measurement recording equipment, along with an engineer, was located inside the bus.
A laser optical sensor measures driveshaft torsional vibration.
Accelerometer on the transmission tailshaft housing helps determine the source of the vibration.
At a constant driveshaft speed that produced the audible noise inside the bus.
Accelerating from a stop through the RPM range that produced the noise.
At idle to monitor axle and transmission levels without driveshaft rotation.
The Vibratech TVD engineering team discovered that at idle, with the transmission operating in electric mode, the driveshaft was rolling back and forth through the backlash of the rear-end gears. The vibration in this case was at just the right frequency, plus outside the range of the legacy damper, to set up an uncomfortable audible 'growl' inside the bus. Vibratech TVD developed a new tuned torsional viscous driveline vibration damper to mount between the mating flanges of the transmission and driveshaft to control the roll, reduce the vibration amplitude and shift the driveline resonance point below the operating range. This limited the audible growl to a level that was acceptable when seated in the passenger cabin.
Phil DeBerry of Anger Associates, Inc. partnered with Vibratech TVD's engineering field team during this case study.
From a design perspective, Vibratech TVD Senior Product Engineer, Aaron Neyman comments that "size constraints are a challenge in driveline applications." For many manufacturers the need for a vibration damper isn't discovered until well into the final assembly and product testing. Partnering with Vibratech TVD early in the powertrain design phase has the potential to reduce costs, provide greater integration flexibility, and increase speed to market. Read more about the benefits of a viscous driveline damper.
For this transit bus manufacturer the Vibratech TVD viscous driveline damper solved the hybrid drive NVH concern. The customer was completely satisfied with the long term approach to resolve the vibration at the source. The expert analysis and manufacturing quality of Vibratech TVD was an ideal solution.
Test data and understanding the difference between a Vibratech TVD viscous driveline damper and crankshaft damper are available in the new article Driveline Vibration Damper Development. | c4 | 5 | 4 | 5 | 3 |

Practice Relating to Rule 6. Civilians' Loss of Protection from Attack
Section A. Direct participation in hostilities
In 2010, in the History and Geography Textbook for 8th Grade, Djibouti's Ministry of National Education and Higher Education, in an exercise asking students to identify IHL violations, provided the following example:
[A commander of operations states:] "Since civilians prepare food and bring it to the soldiers who then fight, they take part in the hostilities. Without that food, the soldiers would not have the strength to fight with us. Thus, they are all soldiers after all, whether they wear a uniform or not. Even if unarmed, civilians who prepare food for the soldiers take part in the hostilities. As a result, soldiers have the right to kill them.
The ministry also stated: "When civilians directly participate in hostilities, they lose their protection against attacks."
Djibouti, Ministry National Education and Higher Education, History and Geography Textbook for 8th Grade, 2010, p. 201.
In 2011, in the History and Geography Textbook for 9th Grade, Djibouti's Ministry of National Education and Vocational Training stated: "When civilians directly participate in hostilities, they lose their protection against attacks."
Section C. Situations of doubt as to the character of a person
[A soldier reports:] "Quite often, soldiers exchange their uniforms for civilian clothes. How can we then know who is really a civilian? In such cases, if you attack a village, you must kill everything that moves."
The ministry also stated: "In case of doubt whether a person is a civilian, that person shall be considered to be a civilian."

BkiUb23xK4sA-9zR_WW2 | Following the church and hotel bombings, our thoughts are with the people of Sri Lanka. They are also with the Port Campbell community, and especially the family and loved ones of the father and son surf lifesavers who lost their lives saving another. These events all the more tragic against the backdrop of Easter.
Closer to home, the Easter traffic around town has been pleasantly quiet for those of us who have mostly stayed around Melbourne. Rotary activities have also been unusually quiet too, although things continue to tick over in the background.
A reminder that with a number of members still away overseas or enjoying an extended Easter with family and friends, there is no meeting this Tuesday (23 April).
Our next Tuesday meeting will be on the last day of April, and then we launch into a busy May with the DIK Working bee on Saturday week (4 May), the Simulated Job Interviews at Auburn HS (8 May) and the visit to the Australian Jazz Museum (14 May - remember to register, and if possible, pay online).
Wishing you all a safe, healthy and relaxing week.

Baguia Scholarships
Hawthorn Rotary has continued sponsorship of students in Baguia, Timor Leste. The Year 7 students selected in 2016 for these scholarships have remained the same five students for the last three years and in 2018 they were in Year 9 - their final year at St Joseph's Junior High School.
Left to right: Students Lourenco Alves, Patricio Guterres and Rosita Aparicio with teacher Leopoldina Guterres (September 2018).
1. Lourenco Alves is from Alua Kraik. Both his parents are alive but his father went to jail for 14 months under suspicion of colluding with the rebels. Lourenco was chosen for this scholarship shortly after his father was sent to jail, as he has 5 sisters and 3 brothers. None of the girls are attending school, but the other boys are attending the government school in Baguia.
Lourencois now 16 years old and his favourite subject at school is Science. He hopes he can get the opportunity to continue next year into Senior High School in Baguia, as he would like to go on to be a doctor.
2. Patricio Guterres is from Hae Coni. While both his parents are alive, his mother is partially blind and suffers from poor health and so can't work. He has 8 brothers and a sister. One brother is at University and two are at the senior high school in Baguia. The two younger brothers are still in primary school and his eldest sister stays home to help run the household.
Patricio is 17 years old and his best subject at school is Mathematics. He wants to go to Senior High School in Baguia next year, as he is very keen to become a teacher.
3. Rosita Aparicio is a girl from the village of Samalari. Her father died a few years ago and her mother has 6 children. The eldest is a labourer making bricks, one is at university and the rest are no longer attending school. Even the youngest boy stopped going to school once the father died.
Rosita is 18 years old and enjoys studying English language at school. She hopes she can obtain a scholarship to attend Senior High School in Dili, so that she can then get high enough marks to get into Medicine and become a doctor.
Council elevates Rotaract
Posted by Arnold R. Grahl - Rotary Weekly
The 2019 Council on Legislation may not have made as many dramatic changes as the Council three years ago did, (when they granted clubs greater flexibility in meeting and membership) but it made several decisions that will shape the future of Rotary.
Among the most important, the Council elevated the status of Rotaract clubs. The change broadens the definition of membership in Rotary International to include Rotaract clubs. The change is intended to increase the support that Rotaract clubs receive from RI and to enhance their ability to serve.
"We need to be an inspiration to our young partners, so they will continue doing the great service that they do," said RI President Barry Rassin when he presented the measure. "This sends a strong message that they are truly our partners in service."
In many ways, the Rotaract experience will not change. Rotary clubs will still charter and sponsor Rotaract clubs. Rotaract clubs will still have their own standard constitution and their own unique club experience. Members of a Rotaract club will not be called Rotarians. And Rotaract clubs will not immediately pay dues or receive other benefits, such as the official magazine that Rotary members receive. The Board will determine a dues structure over time.
The measure simply expands the definition of membership in Rotary International to include both Rotary and Rotaract clubs.
PDG Dennis Shore represented D9800 at the Council, which is made up of representatives from each Rotary district, and meets every three years in Chicago, Illinois, USA, to review the rules that govern the organization.

Paul Harris: Rotary's Founder
Posted by Rotary Weekly
Rotary started with the vision of one man — Paul P. Harris.
Harris was born on 19 April 1868 in Racine, Wisconsin, USA. At age 3, he moved to Wallingford, Vermont, where he grew up in the care of his paternal grandparents. He attended the University of Vermont and Princeton University and received his law degree from the University of Iowa in 1891.
In 1896, Harris settled in Chicago and opened a law practice. Four years later, he met fellow attorney Bob Frank for dinner on Chicago's North Side. They walked around the area, stopping at shops along the way. Harris was impressed that Frank was friendly with many of the shopkeepers. He had not seen this kind of camaraderie among businessmen since moving to Chicago and wondered if there was a way to channel it, because it reminded him of growing up in Wallingford. "The thought persisted that I was experiencing only what had happened to hundreds, perhaps thousands, of others in the great city. ... I was sure that there must be many other young men who had come from farms and small villages to establish themselves in Chicago. ... Why not bring them together? If others were longing for fellowship as I was, something would come of it."
Harris eventually persuaded several business associates to discuss the idea of forming an organization for local professionals. On 23 February 1905, Harris, Gustavus Loehr, Silvester Schiele, and Hiram Shorey gathered at Loehr's office in downtown Chicago for what would become known as the first Rotary club meeting.
In February 1907, Harris was elected the third president of the Rotary Club of Chicago. Toward the end of his presidency, he worked to expand Rotary beyond the city. Some club members resisted, not wanting to take on the additional financial burden. But Harris persisted, and by 1910, Rotary had expanded to several other major U.S. cities.
Harris recognized the need to form a national association with an executive board of directors. In August 1910, Rotarians held their first national convention in Chicago, where the 16 existing clubs unified as the National Association of Rotary Clubs (now Rotary International). The new association unanimously elected Harris as its president. At the end of his second term as Rotary president, Harris resigned, citing ill health and the demands of his professional practice and personal life. He was elected president emeritus by convention action, a title he held until his death.
In the mid-1920s, Harris became actively involved in Rotary again, serving as the public face of the organization. To promote membership and service, he attended conventions and visited clubs throughout the world, often accompanied by his wife, Jean.
Harris died on 27 January 1947 in Chicago at age 78, after a prolonged illness. Before his death, he made it known that he preferred contributions to The Rotary Foundation in lieu of flowers. By coincidence, days before he died, Rotary leaders had committed to a major fundraising effort for the Foundation.
Upon news of his death, Rotary created the Paul Harris Memorial Fund as a way to solicit these donations. Rotarians were encouraged to commemorate the late founder of Rotary by contributing to the fund, which would be used for purposes dear to Harris' heart. In the 18 months following his death, The Rotary Foundation received $1.3 million, which helped support the Foundation's first program — scholarships for graduate study abroad.

Frog poison healers banned from providing kambo treatments
Two healers who use an Amazonian tree frog poison, which is under investigation following a woman's death, have been banned from operating in Victoria and South Australia while an inquiry is underway.
South Australians Carlie Angel and Brad Williams, who trade as Two Wolves - One Body, have been ordered to immed iately stop providing their kambo-based treatments.
Kambo is a name for the skin secretion of the giant green monkey tree frog, which is found in South America's Amazon rainforest.
It is used in "cleansing rituals" and has become popular as an alternative medicine, spawning a growing underground community of users.
Ths Shadow Knows!
The Shadow strives to keep the grammar and semantics up to scratch in "The Bulletin". However confusion can arise when new words crop up, or old words arere-used in a new context. "Redacted" and "progressive" for instance. Rather than resorting to Fowler's Dictionary of Modern English Usage, the Shadow finds Humpty Dumpty gives more encouraging advice:
"When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less."
"The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean so many different things."
"The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master—that's all."

The role of the Parks and Recreation profession has broadened from the development and management of traditional green space destinations for respite and recreational/athletic activity to creating a resilient, park-centric public realm that drive people's attachment to their communities. Parks have become a metaphor for health, happiness and economic prosperity and it is the NRPA's mission to create the nationwide Park Movement that supports this paradigm shift through research, education, legislative advocacy and partnering with like-minded organizations to increase reach and impact.
Every great community has a great park system and it is this Community Building through an unyielding commitment to social equity that makes our profession the solution to so many of the challenges this planet and its inhabitants face in the next 100 years. The keynote will include:
Improving community health through evidence-based parks and recreation programs and the design of accessible park facilities that eliminate health disparities, reduce chronic disease and increase longevity.
Creating community resilience in response to climate change through high performance landscapes and park facilities designed as green infrastructure that provide the maximum amount of co-benefits to communities in the form of flood, fire and drought mitigation; education; social empathy; improved air and water quality; heat island mitigation; wildlife habitat; and post-disaster centers for relief and community organizing.
Measuring the economic impact of parks and public spaces and making the case for a balanced, sustainable public investment. The proliferation of public-private partnerships and philanthropy in the development of parks and public spaces, while noble and often well-intended, requires the employment of best practices to insure the equitable distribution of parks and programs for vulnerable and underserved populations.

Home Features A major gay holiday
A major gay holiday
Michael Costa
The gift giving season is upon us.
It is that time of year when we search for the perfect present to give that special LGBTQ+ relative, friend, co-worker or neighbor in your life. If you are searching for a gift for Jack from "Will & Grace," finding a Cher doll should be high on your priority list. But most gay men and lesbians would simply be happy with DVDs of the full seven season episodes of "The Golden Girls." Watching the sarcasm fly out of Blanche, Rose, Dorothy and Sophia's mouth, is far more creative than a rainbow tie or socks (note to self).
What exactly does your LGBTQ+ relative or friend want for Christmas?
Your acceptance.
Your patience and understanding.
Where do you find this?
Not at retail stores, on-line or by buying gift cards, but instead by being open minded to all lifestyles.
Once upon a time, there was a period when the world viewed the gay and lesbian community as a threat to society, the well being to humanity and it was not open minded at all. It was a time that resonates within the minds of many and helped to define the year 1985. It was a time when society recoiled from the horror of a four letter word, AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). This is not your typical Christmas Story, with Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer and Frosty the Snowman, but unfortunately it did go down in history.
Somewhere between Thanksgiving and Chistimas there lies a third major, but overlooked holiday, and it is so important to the LGBTQ+ community. The day we celebrate in remembrance is called World AIDS Day, which occurs on December 1 and marks the epidemic of a lifetime that shocked the nation during the decade of the '80s and took the lives of celebrities, family, loved ones and friends. AIDS was first known as the "gay disease" and news about it exploded across the media. Scientists were unable to find a cure for cancer and people were living in fear of acquiring the infection by transmitting the virus through blood (open wound or blood transfusion) or sexual intercourse.
This epidemic was a historic period in the LGBTQ+ world. People were convinced that these were the signs of the times and that the disease was sent down by God to condemn man for their homosexual practices. A time that I remember well because I was still closeted and that probably was a good thing, because it saved my life.
Growing up as a teenager in the eighties, AIDS was in the news almost everyday. As early as 1981, the first five cases of HIV were diagnosed. There was no cure for the disease and minimal research. With little to no hope in sight, basically you were left to die. It was a desperate and dark time for the LGBTQ+ community.
Living through the Reagan era, little was done, at first, to stop the pandemic disease that was considered by some within the admistration to be labeled the gay plague. AIDS first originated in the countries Zaire and Haiti, but it wasn't until the disease reached the United States and killed over 12,000 in the year 1985, that the government responded to the epidemic.
The targeted population infected with the HIV virus was primarily homosexual men, from the ages of 25 to 40, living in large populated cities like Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. Loved ones and friends were being diagnosed with HIV and within years would die from the cancer known as pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. The virus spread rampantly through the first early stage and was considered to be highly contagious, viral and deadly. The world began to change during this period. Moral Majority was making an impact, and the religious right took the opportunity to use this as an attempt to suppress gays and lesbians, putting the strain on the LGBTQ community, as being the reason for the spread of the disease.
Not until celebrities like Rock Hudson( who came to the forefront of the epidemic by announcing to the public that he was diagnosed with HIV) and activists like Elizabeth Taylor that stood in front of congress to make a plea to find a cure to the dreadful disease, did the world take notice of the crisis. Basketball superstar, Magic Johnson has been living as a HIV+ survivor since the '90s. Since the first diagnosis of the virus in 1981, the cancer has now has claimed the lives of almost 35 million people since the pandemic first was diagnosed almost 40 years ago. Although there is no cure, there is hope that a cure is right around the corner. The medical field has made strides over the decades to help patients live a longer quality of life.
For those who lived through the AIDS epidemic, there is a somber memory that is associated with the tragic string of events, filled with struggle, punishment and loss. Although, many lost their lives to the global epidemic, braisen activist such as Pedro Zamora, who later died of the illness, became known to the world in the late 90's on MTV's hit show, "Real World San Francisco, as the first person living with HIV and AIDS to star on television.
Friends of mine remember more than half of their friends dying of AIDS and vanishing from the earth. Their intimate circle of social friends began to disappear one by one. They remember this being a dark and devastating time, feeling a sense of bleakness in the world. Despair and loneliness filled the air and an overwhelming prejudice, ignorance, confusion and hatred, spread like a blanket across the nation. Creating a mood that tainted the lifestyles of the LGBTQ community. In order to change that mood, people gathered together and created the AIDSMemorial Quilt, with the names of victims, leaving a powerful legacy behind of the lives lost to the AIDS pandemic.
The holidays are that wonderful time of the year when we reflect on our blessings, and it is only appropriate that we acknowledge the lives that were taken from this disease and remember them in our thoughts. The only way to get rid of the darkness in the world is to shine the light on the subject. Many families across the nations will light a candle in honor of a lost one that they lost to HIV. Let's not allow the flame to die, but shine bright for all the victims this holiday season.
Somewhere over the rainbow, between Thanksgiving, when we give thanks, and Christmas, where we give gifts of thanks, is World AIDS Day, a holiday to remember, reflect and give thanks for the gift of life.

BkiUZsfxK0-nUGYe24fv | 5 Things We Know About "The Crimes of Grindelwald" After the Final Trailer
By Lindsey Sabado
After reading "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child," I was pissed.
The characters I loved so much in the original series (except Ron, I always hated Ron) crumble in "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child." Harry is a bad father and Hermione is a worse Minister of Magic. I wanted so much more for their futures than what J.K. Rowling and writers gave them.
When I shut the book, I angrily shut the door on Rowling and tried to pretend like the script was bad fan-fiction and not actually canon. But then, the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" film came and swept me back into Rowling's world of wonder. Newt Scamander's story touched the edges of the "Harry Potter" series but didn't take anything away from it like "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child" had. The story stood on its own and Jacob's jump into Newt's suitcase gave us a deeper look into the realm of mythical creatures than the original seven books or movies ever had.
The sequel, however, won't be as independent as the first Scamander-central movie. With the introduction of Johnny Depp, Hollywood's most famous (and dare I say overused) madman, as Grindelwald at the end of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" we're reminded that it all ties into Dumbledore's story, and by extension Harry's.
Until "Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald" premieres in November, only Rowling and crew know just how much the "Fantastic Beasts" series will entangle with the story told in the original series. But what we do know is that Dumbledore's reputation is at stake. Will the "Fantastic Beasts" sequel finally show us the dark past of the beloved Hogwarts headmaster?
Today, Warner Bros. gave us the third and final trailer for "The Crimes on Grindelwald." Based on what we've seen in the trailers, here's what we know so far:
We're going to Paris, but more importantly, back to Hogwarts.
In the trailers, we see a young Newt in the same classroom where Harry, Hermione, and Ron learned Defense Against the Dark Arts. This time, the seemingly cursed teaching position is held by none other than Dumbledore.
It doesn't look like Hogwarts will be a major location throughout the film, but the enchanting castle does get some screen time in this prequel. While much looks the same as in previous films- there is one intriguing difference. In the trailer, we see wizards apparate onto the bridge at Hogwarts which in the "Harry Potter" series, no witch or wizard could do.
We'll see some new faces- some are characters we've never heard of, others only mentioned in the the original series or "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them."
-As alluded to in the first film of the "Fantastic Beasts" series, Newt and his brother Theseus clearly have bad blood between them. At the center of this torn relationship is Leta Lestrange who Newt mysteriously wallows over in the first movie. Of course, she's a Lestrange so that spells trouble, but for a brief moment in the first trailer we see Newt, Tina, and Leta either working together or running together from the same thing. At the end, Leta ominously says, "You're too good Newt. You never met a monster you couldn't love."
-This just in, NAGINI WAS A WOMAN. In the trailer, we see a character portrayed by Claudia Kim as some type of circus performer. Suddenly, the woman transforms into a large snake- none other than Nagini, Voldemort's loyal sidekick and horcrux who was decapitated by Neville in the Battle of Hogwarts. On Twitter, Rowling confirmed that Kim's character is in fact Nagini. Like Draco's mother, the character has a blood curse which, according to Rowling, is passed down from mother to daughter. Different than animagus, Nagini is what's called a Maledictus.
-At the end of the second trailer, Nicolas Flamel, creator of the Sorcerer's Stone, makes an appearance.
Somehow, Credence is alive and well.
At the end of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them," the aurors seem to destroy the Obscurus and its host along with it. The black mass explodes into nothingness and Credence is gone.Though the first film teased that the Obscurus may still linger, it wasn't until the "Crimes of Grindelwald" trailers aired that we knew Credence survived the encounter.In the trailers, Credence seems to have taken a liking to Claudia Kim's character, aka Nagini. The Obscurus may be gone (or is it?), but Credence clearly remains a powerful wizard with some unresolved issues.
For some reason, Dumbledore can't do anything about Grindelwald.
Like all other prequels, we'll go into "The Crimes of Grindelwald" already knowing how things end. Unless Rowling pulls some time travel crap on us (again), Grindelwald's fate is sealed: Dumbledore will defeat him in a duel in 1945 and years later Voldemort will visit him in prison in search of the Elder Wand. (Speaking of the Elder Wand, we know that Grindelwald obtains this piece of the Deathly Hallows early in his rise to power. In the trailers for the upcoming film, Grindelwald already has it.)Ultimately, Dumbledore must bring down Grindelwald. But based on these three trailers, we know that's still a long way down the road. For one reason or another, Dumbledore can't do anything about the dark wizard for now."I can't move against Grindelwald," he says to Newt. "It has to be you."
In this movie, we'll likely see only glimpses into Dumbledore and Grindelwald's relationship. I'm guessing that the two won't interact face-to-face.
Whatever happened between Dumbledore and Grindelwald, the trailers for "The Crimes of Grindelwald" make me think that we still won't find out- at least not in this movie.In the trailers, we only see the two powerful wizards interacting in some form of flashbacks or apparitions. Dumbledore looks into the Mirror of Erised and first sees a younger version of Grindelwald and then Johnny Depp's version of the character. From "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone," we know that the mirror reflects the deepest desire of whoever looks into the glass.
Years ago, Rowling confirmed that Dumbledore was gay and had fallen in love with Grindelwald. In January, the screenwriter said that "The Crimes of Grindelwald" won't explicitly address Dumbledore's sexuality. If this movie actually revealed the whole Dumbledore/Grindelwald backstory, I think the romantic aspect would have to be somehow self-evident.
Since the trailers never show Dumbledore and Grindelwald together and Newt "has" to be the one to go after the villain, it's likely the two won't interact in this film at all. And that makes sense looking at the movie in its context. "The Crimes of Grindelwald" is only the second film in a series of five and it takes place in the late 1920s; we know from the original Harry Potter series that Dumbledore doesn't defeat Grindelwald until 1945. A lot of time has to pass before the childhood friends' final battle, and who knows, that may not happen until the fifth movie.
Whatever Rowling has up her sleeve, the "Crimes of Grindelwald" trailers have me impatiently hooked. The movie hits the big screen on Nov. 16. Until then, I'll be here researching fan theories and hoping the sequel won't let me down like the cursed "Harry Potter and the Cursed Child."

BkiUdGM4dbgj44SNlyhk | G.O.P. Candidate Under Fire for Saying 'Heil Hitler' at Virus Protest
January 12, 2021 Abhiram 0 Comments
A Republican political operative who is running for Staten Island borough president apologized on Tuesday after she drew widespread condemnation for saying "Heil Hitler" during a protest against coronavirus restrictions.
The politician, Leticia Remauro, made the remark as she was recording a video of herself during a protest on Dec. 2 outside Mac's Public House, a tavern in Staten Island that has become a rallying point against virus restrictions. The video drew attention after it was sent to a reporter with NY1, who shared it on Twitter on Monday night.
In the video, Ms. Remauro expresses support for Mac's and other small businesses.
She then pans to a line of officers outside the tavern, saying that she is there to "stand up for our right, the right to pay taxes so that we can pay the salaries of these good men and women, who yes are only doing their job, but not for nothing, sometimes you've got to say 'Heil Hitler,' not a good idea to send me here, we're not going to do it."
Ms. Remauro has been involved in Staten Island politics for some 30 years. In 2000, she headed up the campaign of George W. Bush in New York, and her marketing firm was recently employed by the congressional campaign of Nicole Malliotakis, who unseated a Democrat in November with the help of President Trump.
The video, which emerged on Monday, drew widespread outrage on social media from politicians and the public, with many people calling for Ms. Remauro to renounce her candidacy for borough president. Some people also called on Ms. Malliotakis to condemn Ms. Remauro's words.
In a post on Twitter on Tuesday, she said her words were a "VERY BAD ANALOGY likening the actions of the de Blasio & Cuomo against small businesses to those of a Nazi dictator."
In an emailed statement on Tuesday, Ms. Remauro said there was "never an appropriate comparison to be made" to Nazi Germany or Hitler.
"What I said is not reflective of anything I feel or think about the horrors of the holocaust or the enduring trauma impacting survivors and subsequent generations, or the vital forever necessity of holocaust education," Ms. Remauro said.
Ms. Remauro lists herself on LinkedIn as the president and chief executive of the Von Agency, a marketing and public relations firm. According to data from the Federal Election Commission, Ms. Malliotakis's congressional campaign paid the Von Agency $90,158.98 for media consulting from 2019 through 2020.
Ms. Remauro's partner at the Von Agency handled advertising on social media for the campaign, according to Ms. Malliotakis's congressional office. Ms. Remauro also worked for six months on Ms. Malliotakis's unsuccessful mayoral campaign in 2017.
Ms. Malliotakis did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But in her own post on Twitter, she condemned Ms. Remauro's words as "shocking and wrong."
"At a time when anti-Semitism is on the rise across our city and especially on Staten Island, there is no excuse for such words being uttered," she said.
The Anti-Defamation League, a civil rights group, reported a record number of anti-Semitic incidents in the United States in 2019, more than in any year since the group began keeping track four decades ago.
The emergence of the video came days after a violent mob supporting Mr. Trump broke into the U.S. Capitol, drawing heightened scrutiny of neo-Nazis and other white supremacists who were part of the riot and have supported the president. Photographs from last Wednesday's riot show a man parading the Confederate flag through the Capitol, and another wearing a black sweatshirt emblazoned with the words "Camp Auschwitz."
Social media posts from Ms. Remauro suggest she was present in Washington last week where people broke into the Capitol building. But she told The New York Post that she had been in her hotel room during the rioting and had not participated.
In a tweet in September, Ms. Remauro said that "there will be no peaceful inauguration," no matter the winner, and blamed Antifa.
"This isn't about getting rid of Trump its about bringing down America," she said.
According to her campaign biography, she served as a community liaison to Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani and Gov. George E. Pataki, and worked on a diversity program for Goldman Sachs. She has also been the chair of the Staten Island Republican Party.
In addition to running for borough president, Ms. Remauro was until recently the chair of the board of the Staten Island Hebrew Public Charter School, according to the school's website. Jonathan Rosenberg, the president and chief executive of the school, said Ms. Remauro had offered her resignation on Monday night, and the school accepted it.
She is also the secretary of the Staten Island Downtown Alliance, a business advocacy group.
Ms. Remauro has posted several videos in recent months about the challenges businesses face because of the pandemic.
In a video she posted on Facebook in December, she said, "I have no words except I don't feel like I live in America anymore."
"I feel like we live in some other communist country," Ms. Remauro said.

BkiUbGPxK1Thg9qFbbJZ | TRI Plants Seeds for Cultural Shift to Middle Market
The firm's goal is to provide more than what is expected of a typical broker by offering a full suite of services with a sophisticated platform and regional expertise, says Del Beccaro in this EXCLUSIVE.
By Lisa Brown | January 31, 2019 at 04:00 AM
Del Beccaro says TRI is developing strategies to capture a bigger slice of middle market businesses.
WALNUT CREEK, CA—In the two short months since Edward Del Beccaro joined TRI Commercial/CORFAC International as executive vice president and East Bay regional manager, he has hired 13 people, is actively recruiting more brokers, moving to larger creative space in Walnut Creek, initiating an expansion of the existing platform in Oakland and adding new commercial real estate services. More than anything though, Del Beccaro is influencing the way TRI Commercial thinks about how it approaches the Bay Area market, GlobeSt.com learns in this exclusive.
The firm is developing strategies to capture that "holy grail" of brokerage services–a bigger slice of middle market businesses not in the Fortune 500 that are largely served by the big five publicly traded commercial brokerage firms. TRI Commercial plans to do this by offering the same sophisticated commercial real estate services that Fortune 500 companies demand and expect–yet target Fortune 5000 companies.
"We've already started the process of transforming TRI Commercial into a stronger competitive regional firm with the addition of the Walnut Creek team," said Charles Wall, chairman of TRI Commercial.
Tom Martindale, president of TRI Commercial, who oversees the operations for more than 100 brokers and staff, noted a big advantage for the independently owned Northern California commercial real estate firm.
"There are deep local roots across all the offices from San Francisco to Oakland, Walnut Creek, Sacramento, Roseville and Rocklin. That is an opportunity because this swath of Northern California which includes Silicon Valley has become one big interconnected market," Martindale says. "More important than the physical footprint of our operations, however, is the caliber and extraordinary skill sets of our agents in all the markets we cover. Few of our closed transactions involve cookie-cutter deals. They are mostly client-centric, creative solutions. Ed is bringing new energy, a competitiveness and a complementary approach to what we have been doing for 42 years as a company."
For example, TRI Commercial broker and senior vice president Bill Karr of the Walnut Creek office is the real estate consultant to Goodwill Industries of San Francisco, San Mateo and Marin County Inc. on real estate matters, including leasing space, selecting brokers, buying buildings and performing lease administration services, among other duties.
"The need has come full circle to best serve the clients we are doing business with," Del Beccaro tells GlobeSt.com. "We can offer comprehensive real estate expertise, knowledge of the local market and its evolving dynamics along with advisory brokerage services. Companies that are now facing increased employee costs as a result of rapidly rising home values resulting in hour and a half commutes are now examining where they do business, all of which impacts commercial real estate needs. So that is how we will approach it moving forward."
Del Beccaro's first priority is to grow the East Bay offices of TRI Commercial, and he has already begun that process by bringing on accomplished brokers with expertise to provide ahead of the curve trends, including John Sechser, managing director of retail, and Sonny O'Drobinak, managing director with healthcare real estate services, as well as others who are focused on industrial and office real estate. The firm already has a strong platform of healthcare, industrial and investment services in its Sacramento brokerage operation led by Ed Benoit, principal and managing director. In addition, TRI Commercial is closely watching the convergence of retail and industrial industries driven by e-commerce as those two product types become more aligned.
TRI Commercial is also adding to its property management services and a construction management practice for office tenant improvements. The firm already has a property management presence, with approximately 4.5 million square feet under management, mostly in Sacramento.
Once those pieces and people are in place, Del Beccaro intends to strengthen its regional presence with assistance from some of the company's new staff, including managing director of corporate marketing and research, Dina Simoni-Gouveia.
"Our goal is to provide more than what is expected of a typical broker. We have an opportunity to offer a full suite of services with a sophisticated platform and regional expertise to win the confidence of the client, and ultimately help them accomplish their business plans," Del Beccaro said.
Lisa Brown is an editor for the south and west regions of GlobeSt.com. She has 25-plus years of real estate experience, with a regional PR role at Grubb & Ellis and a national communications position at MMI. Brown also spent 10 years as executive director at NAIOP San Francisco Bay Area chapter, where she led the organization to achieving its first national award honors and recognition on Capitol Hill. She has written extensively on commercial real estate topics and edited numerous pieces on the subject.

BkiUbTE4eILhQLGUTQxh | The comments echoed those of Cuomo, who took heavy criticism for remarking last year that America "was never that great." Together, both off-the-cuff comments amount to stunning statements from public figures who until recently were considered potential presidential candidates. In both cases, the Democrats took shots at America's past as part of an effort to criticize President Trump's "Make America Great Again" slogan.
Holder, unprovoked, then used his answer to tear into Trump's campaign rally cry.
"That's exactly right. And that's what I hear these things about 'let's make America great again' and I think to myself, 'exactly when did you think America was great'?" he said on the show. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUc0s5qsFAf3AH_1d1 | You know that map of the United States that is featured in Sundance Catalog. Yeah, the one made out of license plates- the one that retails for $3,895. If you want the really big one, it is a whopping $25,000. Yes, I too would rather have the car attached to the license plate for this amount of cash. Click here to see the License Plate Map.
No worries…. I found a map in a similar vein for FAR LESS $$ and it is handmade right here in Nashville (which makes it worth FAR MORE in my opinion!) by Susan Taylor, co-owner of The Beveled Edge. Her map is made from bottle caps of microbreweries from each individual state. Imagine the time that took to track down! Her maps are fabulous and at $595, a whole lot less than Sundance's. She has branched out into signage, trays and coffee tables with her bottle cap art as well. I love these and I think they are a bargain for the amount of time and effort these must take to make. OK this picture does not do this art justice! There is so much detail! Measurements are approx. 32×45. The Beveled Edge is located across from Target on White Bridge Road in the Paddock Place shopping center. | c4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 1 |

If the more reckless members of Congress force a government shutdown at midnight tonight, lawmakers will face a delicate public-relations problem: They will not be sharing the hardship of the approximately 800,000 federal workers idled by the impasse.
For a start, members of Congress will continue to be paid. House Speaker John Boehner insists that senators and representatives will not be paid, just the way federal workers will not be paid.
But it's not that simple. It would take special legislation to suspend lawmakers' pay, and, so far, no bill to that effect has passed. And some believe that even if legislation did pass, it would be unconstitutional. The 27th Amendment to the Constitution bars changing members' pay until there is an intervening election, which would not be until November 2012.
Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W. Va., pledged in an open letter to donate his salary to charity during any shutdown or return it to the Treasury, and challenged others, including the president and vice president, to do likewise. As the deadline neared, only Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand, D-N.Y., took him up on his offer.
In principle, the staffs of the members of Congress should be furloughed, but here again it becomes more complicated. Like the government agencies, members of Congress can keep those staffers they deem "essential" working. However, it is entirely up to the discretion of the individual members which staffers are essential; some have said their entire staffs are essential and that there will be no furloughs in their offices.
But staffers who do work will not be paid. They will only receive back pay for the time the government was closed if Congress approves it in a future-spending bill.
Just because members of Congress get to keep their pay and staffs doesn't mean they'll be without hardship. There will be lines to get into their parking garages because the U.S. Capitol police will be stretched thin. There will be no operators for the members' automatic elevators. There will be no guides to show visiting constituents around, and there may be a lot of visiting constituents because all the museums, monuments and parks will be closed.
Harshest of all for the dozen or so members who sleep in their offices, the House gym will be closed, meaning no showers. Shutting down the government is not only a bad idea; it literally stinks.

BkiUdlHxK3YB9m3uwLqZ | With Sally Moving East, New Orleans Officials Breathe Sigh Of Relief
By Ashley Dean • Sep 15, 2020
Originally published on September 15, 2020 6:02 pm
Now that Hurricane Sally has moved eastward and threats from the storm have dramatically decreased in likelihood, officials in New Orleans are exhaling a bit.
"It's been a long year," New Orleans Homeland Security and Emergency Preparedness (NOHSEP) Director Colin Arnold said of the city's ongoing efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19 while also dealing with multiple tropical systems.
"I know there's an element of fatigue out there," he said during a Tuesday morning press conference, "but everyone in this city responds and rises to the occasion. And that's so important because, you know, we could be facing 30 inches of rain and we're not right now."
Mayor LaToya Cantrell thanked people for taking preparations seriously and heeding the advice of city officials, but urged residents to stay weather-aware.
"Although everything looks brighter for our city, we're not out of the woods and we're not letting our guards down at all," Mayor LaToya Cantrell said at a press conference Tuesday morning.
Arnold said NOHSEP would continue to monitor Sally's progress until it makes landfall, especially since its path has been slow and somewhat "wobbly."
Officials will now turn their attention to opening up city services. The RTA will resume full service, except ferries, at 4 p.m. Tuesday.
City Hall will reopen Wednesday morning, and New Orleans public schools will resume distance learning Wednesday as well. Arnold said an official announcement from NOLA-PS would come later today.
Garbage collection will also resume Wednesday, and the trash collection that was canceled Tuesday will be made up for on Friday.
Neutral ground parking restrictions will resume at 8 a.m. Wednesday.
Hurricane Sally weakened to a Category 1 storm over the Gulf of Mexico overnight, and Southeastern Louisiana is no longer under a hurricane watch.
As of the 7 a.m. update from the National Hurricane Center, there is still a tropical storm warning from the mouth of the Pearl River westward to Grand Isle Louisiana, including Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Maurepas and metropolitan New Orleans. There's a storm surge warning for the mouth of the Mississippi River to the Okaloosa-Walton County Line in Florida and Mobile Bay.
Hurricane conditions are still expected Tuesday along the Mississippi-Alabama coast. A hurricane warning is in effect from the mouth of the Mississippi River to the Okaloosa-Walton County Line Florida and Mobile Bay.
Sally is still "meandering" slowly over the Gulf. It was about 65 miles east of the mouth of the Mississippi River at 7 a.m. with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph. The storm will pass near the coast of Southeast Louisiana today and make landfall on the Mississippi-Alabama coast Wednesday morning.
The latest rainfall map shows less than an inch predicted for Louisiana. Flash flood warnings have been lifted.

Foreign Currency Translation, A Need-to-Know in International Accounting
Published by Alex on 22.07.2021 22.07.2021
It is a frequent practice for most organizations or entities to engage in transactions that use and involve foreign money. While generally a wise business move, operating this way sometimes presents complications, as the methods of handling foreign and local currencies may vary. Specifically, the issue lies in consolidating the organization's financial statements.
With foreign currency regularly flowing through a company's system, accurate conversion is the biggest concern, as using the wrong exchange rates could lead to discrepancies in accounting. A scenario of this, for example, is using different exchange rates for the same set of data. Should a similar instance happen repeatedly, the result would be a large buildup of inaccurate numbers on file. Eventually, this leads to bigger problems, especially when filing for more official purposes, such as for annual taxes or when appealing to potential investors.
This is the exact reason why international companies must make themselves familiar with the fundamental concepts in international accounting. In this particular case, the applicable process is foreign currency translation. Find out more about this basic international accounting method below.
What is Foreign Currency Translation?
Foreign currency translation is, quite literally, the method of translating foreign money into the currency of the primary economic environment. This is one of the basic tenets of international accounting; any entity dealing with foreign currency must convert said money in a way that is suitable to their existing financial accounts. Failure to properly translate the amounts involved could possibly lead to bigger accounting problems in the future.
In this case, "foreign" refers to any countries, territories, and businesses that are outside of the organization's main area of operation. This includes business deals done with foreign companies or business conducted by an overseas branch of the parent company. Additionally, having an international business means that while a branch may record their finances in the functional currency of their location, the main branch still must translate those figures for accounting.
As a side note, although some words in currency translation accounting seem daunting and technical, it is very easy to understand. To help you out, here are a few basic words to add to your accounting vocabulary:
This is the "original" or main company that subsequently launched branches or subsidiaries. Parent companies are the ones to mitigate the issues for foreign currency translation. They translate currency data from their branches and subsidiaries to combine the organization's overall financial statement.
Functional Currency
Functional currency is the main currency used by a business for most of its transactions. For example, a British company with subsidiaries in the United States would have the US dollar as its functional currency for the said subsidiary. This is despite the parent company's financial statement being recorded in British pounds.
Reporting Currency
Following functional currencies, a reporting currency is that which entities use to report their financial statement. Once the functional currency is established, this data must be consolidated for translation into the company's reporting currency. The transition between this and functional currency is where some adjustments happen according to exchange rates and other factors.
Constant Currency
Since the translation of currency is affected by multiple external variables (e.g., exchange rates), fluctuating numbers cannot be helped. Organizations try to circumvent the impact on their financial performance by publishing both the outright financial report (which reflects fluctuations), and the data without these fluctuations. This information is vital for potential and existing investors because it is a more accurate representation of the company's performance, and thus a better judge for its future.
TranslationRisk
Speaking of external variables and fluctuations, translation risk is the risk that comes with transacting in foreign currencies. Companies face a problem when the exchange rates fluctuate before they are able to fully consolidate their financial statements. Even accounting for company assets is tricky since their value is also dependent on different factors, including the flow of exchange rates.
Typically, it is the big corporations that are most affected by translation risks. Nevertheless, this risk applies to small businesses that deal in foreign currencies as well. This means that the income they gained from foreign transactions must also be accordingly translated and included in the financial reports.
Foreign Currency Translation Process
The procedure for foreign currency translation is relatively simple and can be done in three moves:
Identify the functional currency of the foreign party. This applies to all sources, whether it's from a subsidiary, branch, or individual client based overseas. For example, if a client from Canada pays an Australian business in Canadian dollars, the functional currency is CA dollar and not AU dollar.
Translate the foreign functional currency into the parent/main branch's functional currency. This step is where a foreign subsidiary's functional currency turns into the company's reporting currency. It is important to align and use a uniform currency for financial statements to avoid discrepancies in accounting.
Consolidate and record all data to find profit gained and lost in the currency translation process. Translation risk comes to play because of the volatile exchange rates. This is also where companies make use of constant currencies to avoid rate fluctuations from affecting their financial performance on paper.
Foreign Currency Translation Methods
To mitigate currency translation risks and effects, companies make use of different foreign currency translation methods. Rather than solely relying on current exchange rates, some organizations may opt to use another rate, depending on different factors.
Current Rate Method
This is a straightforward way of converting foreign business assets and liabilities. It simply goes off of the current exchange rate, exposing finances more to fluctuating exchange rates. Because of the risks present, the effect of this currency translation method is often detailed on a separate account, apart from the rest of the company's consolidated income report.
Temporal Rate Method
The temporal rate method can also be called the "historical method" because it is used based on varying time factors. Typically, this means applying exchange rates according to either of two time-based events. One is the date of transaction; the other is the date of the company's most recent assessment of the asset's fair market value.
Monetary-Nonmonetary Translation Method
Monetary-nonmonetary translation entails combining the two other foreign currency translation methods. This technique is most useful for entities with regular and heavily ingrained foreign transactions. It is particularly beneficial for parent companies with active branches and subsidiaries abroad.
This method separates an organization's monetary assets from the nonmonetary. The money is then translated using the current rate method, basing on the present exchange rate. All nonmonetary items (e.g., equipment, inventories, properties) are then converted through the temporal rate method.
What is Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment?
Also known as cumulative translation adjustment (CTA), foreign currency translation adjustment pertains to the combination of all the fluctuations from exchange rates. This accounts for the gains and losses inflicted by the fluctuating exchange rate and thereby helps in showing a company's true financial abilities. Along with the organization's foreign profits, assets and services acquired internationally are also subject to translation, and consequently, exposed to the risks of exchange rate variations.
In compliance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), CTAs must enable investors to discern the difference in the company's actual financial performance without the impact of gains and losses caused by foreign currency translation. Currency translation accounting can be a complicated and grueling task. Because of this, it is recommended to have a licensed accountant go over the necessary financial statements.

As I write in August 2016, many people around the world have been enjoying watching the achievements of young people at the height of their physical ability, as they take part in the Rio Olympics.
"Manuel's win is so significant given the history of swimming and racial segregation in America. Swimming has an ugly past – black people were denied access to pools and pools were not built in black neighbourhoods. Even when swimming pools were made available, swimming was segregated, so that white people went to swim in private pools, and the public pools used by black people fell low down the list of municipal priorities. This history of discrimination has a knock on effect today – meaning parents who never learn to swim do not teach their children to swim. In the US swimming is not on the curriculum like it is in the UK. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

LEADING MAN, THE
Felix Webb (Wilson), a successful English playwright with a new play in rehearsal, The Hit Man, is dithering whether to desert his perfect wife Elena (Galiena) and family, for Hilary (Newton) a beautiful feisty young actress, who has just been cast as the star of his play. He loves both of them and his decency holds him back from walking out. The director, Humphrey Beal (Humphries) has also cast a better known American star, Robin Grange (Bon Jovi), in the co-starring role. Grange is a charismatic but dangerous young man, who quickly exploits the situation by offering to seduce Elena, as a kind of love therapy. But if that weren�t enough, Grange proves to be an expert manipulator who insinuates himself into all their lives, like some corrupting fluid.
"The Leading Man brings together a diverse cast that works through its very differences. The camera loves Jon Bon Jovi, and we are graced with enough tight close ups to satisfy the fans. The surprise is how good he is in the role of Robin Grange. He brings such complexity and credibility to this manipulative character, as we go along for the ride. An interesting script with compelling elements: however, Lambert Wilson�s Felix would have been more satisfying had the character been written with more appeal - at least at the beginning; I found myself wondering throughout why did this creep have two gorgeous women hankering after him. The depth of passion in Anna Galiena�s Elena, the discarded wife who blossoms in the course of the seduction by the leading man, is perhaps the most satisfying element in the film. Thandie Newton is delightful, although the emotional range of her role is somewhat limited as the film progresses. Nicole Kidman�s cameo role as the Oscar presenter is a nice touch, reuniting her with Newton, another cast member from John Duigan�s Flirting. Barry Humphries makes a most convincing Humphrey Beal; Dame Edna has perhaps overshadowed Humphries� other talents."
Louise Keller
"I disagree with Louise about Humphries� performance; I think we can see him acting. However, this is a minor grumble, and I do agree that Felix could have done with either a very handsome exterior or a more genial personality. As is, it�s a bit hard to see what they see in him. That aside, I enjoyed the film�s intelligent and slightly edgy script, and found Jon Bon Jovi remarkably effective. He manages to convey that dangerous charm which belies a sinister intellect and cold heart at work. Thandie Newton continues to be excellent, and Anna Galiena does a marvellous transformation from jealous, burdened wife to rekindled firewood as the seduced mistress. I do have one reservation, though, the ending: the final scene is unnecessary and cuts across the effect of the one before it, which is a much better, tighter, more powerful - if ambiguous - finish. But John Duigan is an excellent film maker; pity he is doing it over there, not here. "
Andrew L. Urban
"Director John Duigan is a master of human behaviour, as he has proven from such diverse gems as Year my Voice Broke, Mouth to Mouth, Winter of our Dreams and Flirting. The Leading Man is a far slighter work that one normally gets from Duigan, but still his ensemble British cast and American import (Jon Bon Jovi) together create an ironic, self-mocking comedy set within the world of the theatre, but which easily could have been set in the film world. Sex, politics, power, manipulative behaviour - none of these are confined to the theatre, and perhaps this sense of universality is what makes Leading Man a pleasure to watch. Nicely written, with wry British observations, and featuring strong performances all round, while this is not one of Duigan's best works, it's still a sharply observed piece, beautifully performed."

BkiUbB05qdmB66aQ4ScA | Urban Atmosphere in a Changing Climate: Chemistry, Carbon, and Composition
NOAA's Atmospheric Chemistry, Carbon Cycle, and Climate (AC4) Program is announcing nine new three-year projects in Fiscal Year 2020 (FY20) that aim to understand the chemical composition of the urban atmosphere across the United States. The competitively selected projects total $5.6 in grant awards.
Multiple linkages exist between air quality and climate change--none more so than in the urban atmosphere. Climate change, favoring more heat waves and episodes of stagnant air, may deteriorate air quality by increasing ozone and fine particulate matter (PM2.5) concentrations and high pollution episodes. A majority of U.S. cities have seen dramatic improvements in air quality due to emission reductions of air pollutants. In addition to improving air quality in the past few years, some cities have committed to climate change mitigation. In fact, a large number of U.S. cities have set city-wide targets for carbon dioxide reductions. While great progress has been made in limiting the anthropogenic emissions of ozone and aerosol precursors, millions of people in the United States are still exposed to harmful levels of air pollution, and significant air quality challenges remain. Consider, for example, pollution in intermountain valleys in the western United States and Fairbanks, Alaska.
To further understand the urban atmosphere, its most recent changes, and to provide decision makers relevant measurements on which to base their decisions, AC4 has continued its focus on measuring and modeling across urban areas in the United States. The nine new projects focus on several cities across the United States: New York, Boston, Salt Lake City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Missoula, and Fairbanks. Fairbanks is part of the upcoming Alaskan Layered Pollution and Chemical Analysis (ALPACA) field campaign. These projects will involve multiple ground based-measurements of several trace gases and aerosols, regional modeling, and inventory development--all either across seasons or in a focused field campaign.
The nine new projects funded by the AC4 Program in FY20 are:
Integrated modeling of air quality, carbon, and climate at a city scale for co-benefit mitigation
This 3-year project tackles the most challenging issues in simulating the evolution of criteria air pollutants (CAPs) and greenhouse gases (GHGs) in urban atmosphere by addressing a critical need of integrated modeling for CAPs and GHGs using high-resolution/fidelity emissions to support policymaking at national, regional, and city scales.
PI: Yang Zhang, Northeastern University
Co-PI: Daniel Tong, George Mason University
Winter sulfate production mechanisms in Fairbanks, Alaska
This project is part of the Alaskan Layered Pollution and Chemical Analysis field campaign, which will address frequent air pollution episodes that are in violation of the EPA 24-hour standard in the city of Fairbanks, Alaska.
PI: Becky Alexander, University of Washington
Comprehensive atmospheric chemistry of volatile organic compounds in high- and mid-latitude urban areas impacted by wood smoke
This project focuses on the urban atmospheric chemistry of volatile organic compounds (VOC) that are precursors of tropospheric ozone, carbon monoxide, and secondary organic aerosol. It is aimed at developing new observational constraints on VOC emissions in two U.S. cities: Fairbanks, Alaska and Missoula, Montana.
PI: Lu Hu, University of Montana
Development of high-resolution fossil fuel carbon dioxide and fossil fuel carbon monoxide emissions product
The project will add fossil fuel carbon monoxide emissions to an existing state-of-the-art high-resolution fossil fuel carbon dioxide emissions data product system. This research has the potential to inform urban mitigation strategies that explore the co-benefits of greenhouse gas and air pollution emissions reductions.
PI: Kevin Gurney, Northern Arizona University
A multispecies approach to investigate the changing cocktail of atmospheric urban carbon
The project will investigate emerging changes in urban carbon emissions resulting from mitigation strategies being implemented through state and local regulations.
PI: Allen Goldstein, University of California, Berkeley
Wintertime halogen chemistry in polluted, inland, urban environments
This project combines laboratory and field measurements of nitrogen pentoxide (N2O5) uptake coefficients, nitryl chloride (ClNO2) yields, and individual particle chemical composition, using chemical ionization mass spectrometry and single-particle mass spectrometry. Laboratory aerosol flow tube experiments will provide fundamental knowledge of N2O5 uptake and ClNO2 yields for both standard and authentic particulate chloride sources, including road salts and playa dust from Utah.
PI: Cassandra Gaston, University of Miami
Co-PI: Kerri Pratt, University of Michigan
CO2 air quality urban synthesis and analysis (CO2-AQ USA) project: drivers of urban emissions from past, present, to future
This project focuses on developing this knowledge to elucidate the benefits of mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions along with air quality-relevant pollutants. The project addresses the following outstanding science questions. How have emissions in GHGs and pollutants changed over time in different U.S. cities? How do pollutant emissions from vehicles (principally CO2, CO, and NOx) depend on ambient temperature and humidity? How would emissions of GHG and pollutants change under climate change? How can co-benefits be realized by reducing emissions of both GHGs and pollutants?
PI: John Lin, University of Utah
Co-PIs: Jeffrey Geddes & Lucy Hutyra, Boston University; Steven Wofsy, Harvard University
Emissions and oxidative aging of non-traditional gas-phase organic compounds in the Greater New York City Metropolitan Area
This project will investigate the emission rates and oxidative aging of non-traditional sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs), intermediate-volatility and semi-volatile organic compounds (I/SVOCs), and oxygenated VOCs (OVOCs), including volatile chemical products, in New York City. Given ongoing reductions in emissions from combustion-related sources, these non-traditional VOCs are having a larger impact on urban air quality as primary pollutants and as precursors to secondary organic aerosol (SOA) and ozone.
PI: Drew Gentner, Yale University
Co-PI: Jason Krechmer, Aerodyne Research, Inc.
Quantifying the impact of biogenic and anthropogenic fluxes on the atmospheric composition of the New York City Metro Area
The project will examine the link between the urban CO2 and ozone (O3) cycles, which, until fully understood as precursors to air pollution, will limit our confidence in projections of the impacts of a warming climate and increased urbanization on urban air quality and public health.
PI: Roisin Commane, Columbia University Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory
Co-PIs: John Mak, Stony Brook University; Andrew Reinmann, City University of New York

BkiUdvY241xg-Ma3x7a_ | Dear Yezzi, is it is true that some ETs are scientifically evolved and yet morally unevolved? [If yes] How can it be? I thought they were restricted to just their world, that when were about to harm other humanities there would be an interference.
At the beginning of my contacts I thought so too, but with the passage of time and my travels with those who accompany me, I learned that the universe is a big waterless Ocean, where there are stubby, smart fishes, well equipped with general knowledge and highly spiritualized, owners of unparalleled science and others, because of the facilities of their "habitats" have achieved extraordinary technical and scientific knowledge and, perhaps for that reason, have forgotten their spiritual part, because they failed to solve their deadlocks, their problems, using only their sciences. It did not give them universal powers, but just highlighted them within their own "habitat" and when they venture out to other universal corners, they face more powerful beings than them, in mind and spirit, therefore, they become somewhat inferior before those who, due to their larger reach of cosmic scope, protect the needy as the inhabitants of Earth and other planets in their infancy. However, occasionally, some of those "sidereal patricians" escape the vigilance of the guards, attracted by warlike, macabre, belligerent and negative minds of many inhabitants of the earth, forming a sort of interplanetary channel, and come here to practice a series of arbitrary acts contrary to our customs and Cosmic purposes, making the rest of the population to think they are unprotected and deprived of God, in the hands of those beings. But, I assure all who read this post, they will not go unpunished and that things happen, or rather, only happen to those who have a karma in relation to the facts. Therefore, we must not forget that each of us has our destiny traced and we are fruits of our past actions, even if remote. There is no Divine injustice, to the contrary, the Law of Action and Reaction is followed closely in all quadrants of the universe.
Could you tell me if the existing life on other planets in the solar system would be in this same dimension, that is, visible to our eyes?
It is noticeable the changes in our planet and in people. We are in a phase of destruction, disaster and heinous crimes like never before. But it is also a moment of enlightenment and awareness of many. Probably because of the approaching of the astral body Siderius. I wonder if you have any information more recent about the possibility of sighting this astral body. Those chosen will be rescued by extraterrestrials before the final catastrophe?
Thank you for your email and questions.
All that is occurring on our planet had been predicted, because the sum of the negative doings of man in the past would have irreparable results. Not only humans have a karma, [but] the Earth also has its own. The planet Earth and its humanity, unfortunately, are in their death throes, which will reach the apex when the passing through of big astral body Siderius in our solar system occurs, which approaches every day and is already being tracked by NASA. Some say already seeing it with the naked eye, at the bottom side of the Sun. The ETs are arriving from the most distant places in the Universe, with their gigantic ships, which are so large and having so much energetic power that they can not get too close to our cities otherwise they can cause complete shutdown of all electrical activities in our planet. So they park at the Sun, clearly inside the Sun. Yes, there will be a huge movement of rescue, but I can not say if only for the chosen and if there will even be any chosen. You can not evaluate the criteria used by them. As you know, here we have the chaff mixed with the wheat, and often family members with different behaviors. It will not be so easy for them to separate the good from the bad, innocent from bandits. | c4 | 1 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUa_k5qWTD6cbkroFh | State Sen. Dan Patrick, R-Houston, listens to an aide on the Senate floor on May 16, 2011.
CSCOPE, a controversial statewide curriculum delivery system that has come under fire from critics for its prescriptive structure and a perceived anti-American bias, will undergo a sweeping review process and ensure better transparency, state Sen.Dan Patrick, R-Houston, announced Friday.
As a result of a Senate hearing last week in which CSCOPE representatives faced tough questions from lawmakers, the Texas Education Service Center Curriculum Collaborative, the state-funded group that designed the system, will review the materials included in the lesson plans and open all future meetings to the public, said Patrick, the chairman of the Senate Education Committee. The group will also post the curriculum content online and eliminate civil and criminal penalties for teachers for releasing lesson plans.
"The future of the program will depend on CSCOPE keeping its commitments they have made and gaining the trust of the Legislature, teachers and parents," Patrick said in a statement Friday.
CSCOPE spokesman Mason Moses said Friday that the system would remain dedicated to "being a trusted resource" and that increased transparency will "create a greater reassurance in the public that [the curriculum] is the highest quality that it possibly can be."
About 70 percent of Texas school districts use the system, which jumped into the national spotlight last November when conservative radio host Glenn Beck criticized a lesson plan that characterized the Boston Tea Party as an act of terrorism from the perspective of the British.
Social studies will be the first subject reviewed. "As was brought up in the hearing, that's been where most of the concerns have been raised," Moses said, "so it was most important to start with that subject." | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUdk7xK4tBViZLF2yL | At Paris Games Week, I've had the chance to meet with Jérémy ZELER-MAURY, CEO & Managing Director of Midgar Studio.
The indie French developer recently became popular on Kickstarter, where it successfully funded the open world parkour game Hover: Revolt of Games (now available on Steam Early Access, with very positive user reviews so far) and the JRPG Edge of Eternity. I've talked with him about both games at length, however he confided to me that he's worried about the Xbox One version of Edge of Eternity.
The game is much more demanding than Hover, in fact, and it's also one of the best looking projects made with Unity; Jeremy explained that it's because he has a lot of experience with the engine, going back ten years.
The console versions of Edge of Eternity might come at a later time, since the team is still negotiating publishing deals. As for the PC version, Jeremy confirmed that they are using HBAO+ (the console versions will have a custom implementation of HBAO which will not be as pretty, but close) and they want to support DirectX 12 as soon as Unity, Popcorn FX and trueSKY will be compatible with it.
Check back for our full interviews on both Edge of Eternity and Hover next week; in the mean, enjoy a gallery with the latest screenshots of Edge of Eternity. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 1 |

I tried several methods, such as body.onbeforeunload, onclick, onclick, but neither works. Thanks a lot.
A:
how to know when the user clicks the page.
To find if user has clicked on the page, you can use document.addEventListener
document.addEventListener('click',function(event){
alert("clicked");
})
or close the page?
There can be two scenarios. Either you close the tab or close the window.
Closing window cannot be detected.But events like unload & onbeforeunload can be used to detect when page is unloaded.
window.onbeforeunload = function(e) {
alert('Are you sure');
};
These events will also fire when navigate from one page to another

BkiUes7xK1yAgWay6P2c | THE PRAIRIE EDITOR: A Different View Of World War I
As might be expected, much is being written at the centennial
commemoration of the end of World War I. The moment of the
armistice began with an indelible set of "elevens" (11:11.11 a.m.
on 11/11).
The armistice was agreed to about six hours before, and it was
immediately communicated to all the belligerent parties who then
proceeded to kill thousands of soldiers on both sides needlessly over
the next few hours ---a fact so typical of the useless slaughter of men
in that event we now call "The Great War."
I have suggested for some years an alternative interpretation to the
duration of World War I. It is my contention that, on that November
day in 1918, the clock mysteriously did not strike "12" --- not at noon
and not at midnight. Hostilities might have seemed to cease, but in
reality they did not. World War I did not end. Instead, it was only the
beginning of a modern "Hundred Years (plus) War" which continues
to this day.
My contention is not just based on just the fact that another world
war followed soon after, then a "cold war" and a Korean war, a Viet
Nam war, a Middle East war --- and now a terrorism war. No, my
contention is based on the facts that each of those subsequent
conflicts arose out of the real and specific consequences and details
of a war that began with an improbable bullet which killed the heir
to the throne of the Austro-Hungarian empire in a Balkan city street.
The paper treaty and the attitudes of the victors held back the hands
of the clocks from striking "twelve" and a new day. Each of the wars
that followed was in a significant way determined by that war's
battles, issues, and the treaties and borders which were intended to
settle its conflicts. These insinuated themselves into developments in
colonial Africa, colonial Asia, the Far East, North America, and of
course, Europe itself, including Russia Even the island continent of
Australia came of global age in World War I, joining her British
Empire colleagues in the unspeakable slaughter on distant battlefields.
The future superpower China, no longer an imperial state, drifted into
chaos as the victorious European powers and their then-ally Japan
crowded in for influence and territories. Obscure Bedouin sheiks
were made kings of haphazardly bordered new states in the remnants
of the defeated Central Power Turkish empire. Armies of the victors
remained to try to salvage a tottering czarist empire after the
armistice, but only enabled a new kind totalitarian state that would
play a central role in the century's continuance of the Great War to
the present day.
My case for the new Hundred Years War is not at all abstract nor
imaginary. It's all there in the unnecessarily created ethnic, religious,
language and cultural conflicts begun worldwide in 1914. In fact, this
war, technically begun because a chauffeur made a wrong turn on a
crowded Serbian city street, has cost hundreds of millions of lives;
directly changed the course of a billion persons, and now involves
indirectly virtually the whole human race numbering almost 8 billion.
A wrong turn indeed.

BkiUfeI5qhLB24oEzVAP | Ransomware affected Philadelphia SEPTA transport payroll, time keeping & real-time schedule system
A couple of weeks ago cyber security solutions experts reported a ransomware attack that affected Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA). Although few details about the incident were revealed at the time, more than 10 days have passed and the infection continues to wreak havoc on the organization.
According to reports, the attack affected their servers, which has diminished SEPTA's ability to provide real-time transportation information, so they have had to improvise and resort to methods used before technology was here to make our lives easier.
Information system failures have affected passengers, who have limited data on the operating hours of public transport systems in Pennsylvania. In this regard, a SEPTA spokesperson mentions: "In no way do we try to discriminate against users who do not have the ability to access online information systems; real-time schedules will be restored shortly."
@SEPTA_SOCIAL I have a medical appointment Thursday and have been trying to book through CCT for 2 days now, nobody is picking up the phone there and customer service is useless. What happened.
— dead patsy (@ChrisRulon) August 11, 2020
In addition to the users of the local transportation system, the main ones affected are the employees of the organization, who each day embark on a new battle to keep SEPTA operations afloat without the use of business systems, some have even used their personal emails and their own phone numbers in order to work. As if that weren't enough, they're still unsure how long the affected systems will be restored, as mentioned by cyber security solutions experts.
While SEPTA has not provided further details about the attack, everything indicates that the damage done to its systems is high, as believed by Michael Levy, a former computer crime investigator in the Office of the Attorney for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Among the systems disconnected by SEPTA after the incident are payroll and remote timing, which remain closed until today. "The time that the systems have been offline suggests that the malware may have infected other areas in the SEPTA enterprise network," Levy says.
Cyber security solutions experts mention that perpetrators of these attacks often access the target system using phishing emails, tricking employees into handing over user credentials or clicking on links that redirect to malicious sites. SEPTA have not yet determined the exact causes of this infection, although the attack on an unsuspecting user is the most likely explanation.

BkiUdjHxK03BfMLyqngp | NGO Project Orchid is told by a number of affected health organizations that the organization has not clarified on 'the core issue of the 100% HIV mandatory testing' and their official mail on May 11 that "both AVAHAN and NACO have made mandatory that 100% of the HRGs (Core target group) have be tested annually."
The North East India Drug Users' Forum, Nagaland Users' Network, Kohima Users' Network and Network of Naga People Living with HIV/AIDS said Project Orchid's rejoinder has not clarified on the stated 'core issue'. The organization also allegedly requested its partner NGOs to give suggestion to achieve 100% HIV testing. "We also demand AVAHAN and NACO to make their stand clear as to whether they stand by the ORCHID statement or they are abusing your good office's name to pressurize their NGOs to achieve their selfish objective," the four organizations stated in a joint statement today.
"This issue has been in the e–forum of Asian Network of People who Use Drug (ANPUD, e–group) for quite sometime and AVAHAN and NACO is fully aware of this sensitive and unrealistic agenda, therefore the drug users' resents their silence. These Drug Users' bodies demand Project ORCHID, AVAHAN and NACO to clarify the statement of 100%HIV mandatory testing without giving other justification and confusing/misguiding the common people." | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

BkiUcCnxK1yAgWt79MCh | D.C.'s Proposed Sugar Tax Sparks Racially Charged Debate
by Hamil R. Harris May 18, 2021 December 21, 2021
There is a debate over taxing sodas in D.C. (Courtesy photo)
Dr. Yolandra Hancock doesn't have to read a medical journal to know how soda and other sugar-filled drinks destroy people, young and old, in the African American community and why people of color are disproportionately dying of COVID-19 at three times the rate of whites.
"My youngest diabetic patient is 9 years old," said Hancock, a pediatrician and professor at George Washington University's Milken Institute School of Public Health. "She lost her father to diabetes, her mother has diabetes, her grandmother has diabetes, and after I saw her, she pulled out a Pepsi."
A hearing on the Nutrition Equity Amendment Act of 2021 is scheduled for Wednesday at 10 a.m.. before Council member Brianne K. Nadeau (Ward 1), who chairs the Committee on Human Services. Her bill would repeal the District's 8% sales tax on sugary drinks and impose a 1.5-cent-per-ounce tax on the distribution of sugary beverages in the District.
The bill can be accessed here: https://lims.dccouncil.us/Legislation/B24-0166
"In drafting this bill, I brought together members of the communities impacted by health disparities, health experts and advocates to identify areas where public health interventions and investments can make a difference in the health and lives of our communities," Nadeau said in a statement.
The bill is supported by Council Chairman Phil Mendelson and Council members Mary Cheh, Anita Bonds, Charles Allen and Elissa Silverman.
While the bill is supported by the American Heart Association, the American Beverage Association, Feed the Truth and others oppose what they believe is a detrimental tax that could hurt small businesses and be harmful to the poor.
The Alliance for an Affordable DC, a coalition of small-business owners, neighborhood organizations and community leaders, announced Tuesday that it opposes the tax.
In a press release, the group stated: "While the city is currently spending money on grants to lift up struggling small businesses, its own city council is simultaneously pushing a detrimental tax that will hurt the same people they're trying to help with those financial grants. This does not make economic sense. A new tax on businesses already struggling will cause even more widespread employee layoffs and force more businesses to close permanently."
Regressive Tax on Groceries
Kip Banks, pastor of the East Washington Heights Baptist Church in Southeast, stated in a letter to The Informer signed by 90 other members of the local clergy, "What the [Nutrition Equity Act] will do is make it harder for poor, struggling families to make it in this city by adding to their grocery bills and specifically their beverages. Taxes on groceries are regressive because the lower the household income means a bigger share of their paycheck on these items."
A. Scott Bolden, the lawyer representing minority business owners who object to the bill, characterized the measure as "well-intentioned."
However, he said, "There are other ways to ensure a healthier lifestyle, but using a penalty to do it is never the right way, especially for businesses."
The bill would require the content of meals served at District shelters and transitional housing to be consistent with the Dietary Guidelines for Americans and would provide for greater oversight of food service vendors. It also would establish grants to support nutrition education, cooking lessons and gardens at family shelters and transitional housing to create healthy environments.
"Just as important are our homeless residents who contractor's service," Bolden said, arguing that health requirements are already in place by the D.C. Department of Human Services.
"The bill that would require contractors to be non-profits and that would be a detriment to CBEs (certified business enterprise) like Henry's Soul Food that does an incredible job in regard to producing quality food while meeting FDA guidelines."
According to a draft of the legislation, the revenue raised by the excise tax would be used by the District's food policy director to fund the following priorities:
• Expand funding for the Department of Health Care Finance's Food as Medicine programs (such as Produce Rx) that integrate healthy food access into the healthcare
• Expand funding for the Department of Health for programs aimed at reducing and preventing nutrition-related chronic diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and heart disease. This includes chronic disease management and prevention, and wraparound nutrition services.
• Make permanent the Mayor's one-time investment in the newly established Nourish DC Fund to provide grants, loans, and technical assistance to local food businesses in low-access communities.
Health Risk to Children
"For those who criticize this legislation, the question is, where have you been?" Hancock said in an interview with The Informer. "In southeast D.C., 75% of the residents are at risk of developing Type 2 diabetes, and African Americans are three times more likely to develop COVID-19 than whites because of diabetes, heart disease and obesity."
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, sugary drinks represent a real health risk to children. On average, children in the U.S. consume more than 30 gallons of sugary drinks every year. Evidence shows that the beverage industry targets communities of color, with Black children and teens more than twice as likely to see TV ads for sugary drinks than their white peers.
In December, a working group consisting of community members who face health disparities and community health advocates convened to identify the District's health-related priorities.

BkiUdw45qhLA90Q4auAz | Making new work has always been a collective enterprise.
It doesn't matter wether you are signing a porcelain urinal or painting a 14th century fresco, we are always stronger together.
I'm interested in hearing from any full time professional artists who would like to pitch a project or share an idea for collaborative work. The exact deal is negotiable - a simple skills exchange, joint promotion for a group show or simply to do the thing none of us make enough time for - talking about the work.
This is a proposal for a DIY development and publicity group for professional artists. There's no joining fee, no permanent members, no committee and zero commission on sales. Group split the costs and jobs equally for each show. Minimum group size three.
One show at a time. Anybody can propose anything.
Don't get in touch unless you have a confirmed venue and a draft press release/marketing plan. Then we select the artists, the artist curate the work and and off we go. We need a minimum of three proactive people : Publicity and media. Venue, theme and curating. Event organiser, hanging and hospitality.
My basic premise is that artists groups will only work for as long as everybody is committed and engaged with a shared project. Off the peg solutions are hard to find - Academies, art societies, state funded arts events, pay to enter competitions or pay to show art fairs can be sketchy and very rarely pay their way.
I set up an informal group called #opensignapse and we met several times to support and promote. That group was really important in making the Shelf Lives event work as well as it did. | c4 | 4 | 1 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUbNg4ubnjop7FEFFh | Replacing the roof on a commercial building tends to be different than replacing the roof on a private residence. Commercial buildings, whether it's an office building or a warehouse facility, tend to be much larger than most residences. The materials used often differ from what is commonly used for roofs in private residences as well. The construction process also tends to be different since the roof is so much larger. When replacing the roof on a commercial building, here are three things to keep in mind.
When you need a new roof, you have a decision about where to buy your roofing materials from. You can go through a roofing supply company and order the products yourself, or you can order them through the roofing contractor who is installing the new roof from you. The contractor will likely be using the same suppliers you will be using, which may leave you wondering if there is any benefit to ordering through the contractor or whether you should cut them out and order directly.
If the shingles, gutters, and other roofing structures are gradually falling apart, it's essential that you repair them before the cold season arrives. Winter's harsh weather conditions can wreak havoc on your deteriorating roof. Ice dams and icicles could form on your roof and cause significant damage to the rest of your home. Here are some things you can do to keep your roof and its structures safe during the cold season.
Do You Have a Roof Repair Plan for After Storm Season?
When storm season arrives in your area, it's already too late to call for immediate repairs. After the storm hits, local repair and debris removal professionals will not only be swamped by calls from everyone in a multi-county radius, but trying to get through the storm debris on the road and all the traffic just to get to their customers. Here are a few details to have in mind as you build a professional relationship with a home roofing repair team, if not to be on the top of the list, then to make sure that your repairs won't come with too many surprises. | c4 | 4 | 2 | 5 | 2 |

Most of the manufacturers (32.3%) tell that the decision of investing BIM is to marketing, while 29.7% consider the decision is too technical and 26.5% is to sales. 78.6% of respondents, who already invested on BIM, strongly agree that they use BIM as a differentiator and 47.1% agree that it helps them to secure business. Therefore, 58.0% of those, who have BIM, consider that the BIM investment was definitely worthwhile. Although a significant percentage (24.6%) say it remains to be seen, none in this category said it was not worthwhile. The respondents, who are planning to invest in BIM, were asked the question "When do you plan to invest in BIM?". 44.7% of respondents had planned to invest in the nearest future like 2014 and 49.4% in 2015. Only 5.9% of respondents postponed the plan of investing in BIM to 2016. When they were asked that is BIM investment is worthwhile, 38% responded that it was definitely worthwhile and 2.5% said that it is not worthwhile. Only 34.9% of respondent, who are planning to invest in BIM, believe that BIM can be an important differentiator for their business and 52.3% slightly agree on it and only 2.3% strongly disagree it. 7.2% of respondents in this category indicate 'resource required' is the main barrier to invest in BIM, while around 6.8% consider 'creating an understanding of the importance of BIM' and 'understanding the software options' are the barriers. The respondent, who have no plans to invest, was asked about the functions that were involved in the decision not to invest in BIM. 50.0% respondents chose the option marketing and 25% chose technical and nobody selected finance. To the question regarding the barrier to adopting BIM, 8.6% said that it was too expensive to develop. 6.2% consider no demands for BIM objects from engineers and contractors as the barrier. All these results show that the respondents, who already have BIM, show a positive approach to BIM compared to those, who are planning to BIM and those, who have no plans to invest BIM. Those, who do not have the plan to invest in BIM indicates the cost of development as the main barrier. While 39.1% of companies with BIM objects available regularly receive requests from engineer and architects, it is only 5.8% of the companies who are planning BIM. Similarly, 21.4% of companies, who currently use BIM, get regular requests from contractors and it is very high compared to 4.7% of companies who are planning BIM. These results show that those who are available BIM objects can experience a significant increase in requests. Even though higher requests are evenly spread over the types of products, communications, transport, security and fittings & furniture give a higher proportion of requests. Similarly, more requests are getting from contractors for structural frames & walls and for electricity supply & lighting from building owners. The survey data show that 73.8% of respondents provide BIM content in Autodesk Revit. All other software platforms are used only by less than 20.0%. Majority of the respondents (75.5%) do not plan to extend their content to other formats. According to the survey, a majority of the organizations (82.1%) that have BIM and 57.5% that are planning to have BIM possess a person responsible for BIM in their organization. The study further involves a detailed study on the BIM object information format to be mandated by UK government by 2016 as well as information about different ways adopted by product manufacturers to develop BIM Object and more interesting facts about the adoption of BIM by product manufacturers and manufacturing industry.

US interest rates: Who believes the story?
The Fed's little game of announcing interest rate increases has started anew. Some think that they need this to give credibility to the idea that the US economy is better and to support the dollar a little longer; but the same people also understand that a stronger dollar damages the US exports. Meanwhile other groups in the US have a greater interest in establishing a negative balance (or, let's say, a realistic balance sheet) of the economic situation, in order to impose a change of political direction. Moreover, the previous rate increase tests had a dear price for the rest of the planet - knowing that being a dominant global power gives the US responsibilities outside its own territory. Another significant point is that the Fed has lost much of its influence, making this management method of the US crisis less and less efficient. All these contradictions are revealed in the following sequence: Yellen's announcements of interest rate increases were first followed by no visible effect, but...

Brexit 2.0: With the Vote Over, CEOs Lobby to Keep EU Access
The vote is over but the campaign continues. With financial markets reeling from the Brexit vote, U.K. companies are stepping up lobbying to maintain access to the European Union's single market and labor, deepening potential rifts with British "Leave" voters who want to curb immigration. Prime Minister David Cameron has called an emergency meeting Thursday of his Business Advisory Group, which includes chief executive officers of companies like BP Plc, Whitbread Plc and EasyJet Plc, according to a person familiar with the situation.

Ratings agencies rip into UK's credit score after Brexit vote
Britain suffered further blows to its economic standing on Monday as two top ratings agencies downgraded its sovereign credit score, judging last week's vote to leave the European Union would hurt its economy.

The Shanghai Stock Exchange's reign as the premier venue for trading Chinese equities is coming to an end. For the first time in at least a decade, China's oldest bourse has lost its position at the top of turnover rankings for the nation's four major trading venues. The new leader is Shenzhen's Small and Medium Enterprise Board, a 12-year-old market for mostly non-state companies that first climbed to No. 1 on May 17.

However it turns out that being accurate is terribly difficult. How can we improve this exercise? Several factors have to be taken into account... (LEAP.net)

Global systemic crisis, angry nations, G20 - National democracies are preventing the implementation of solutions to the global crisis: they will be removed ... if transnational democracy is not invented
The nations are angry and this is a logical consequence of a crisis without historical precedent, a multi-directional crisis of global dimensions to which the levels of national "democratic" power are structurally unable to respond while governance structures, which are most likely to put solutions into place, i.e. international and transnational structures, have no political legitimacy, knowing plitical legitimacy is acquired in only two ways: by force or democratically...

'Brump' or 'Trexit'? Markets may conflate year's biggest risks
Even though market myopia is often used to explain why investors appear to be ignoring November's U.S. presidential election while trading furiously around this month's vote on Britain leaving the EU, the two events may end up being conflated.

UK's Referendum, a prerequisite to restarting Europe
Since the United Kingdom joined the European Community in 1973, according to the exorbitant terms that we know for Europe, its leaders have renewed, ad nauseam, Margaret Thatcher's strategy based on the following idea: "You need us, but we do not want you, so you do as we say". Yet, what was true in 1973, and what was experienced during a glorious period in the 90s, is no longer the case today. In fact, it is precisely the UK's attitude toward the continent which ended up crushing the springs of the aforementioned strategy. By maintaining Euro-scepticism within its public opinion, by staying away from all strong European integration projects (Schengen, eurozone, etc.), the United Kingdom has isolated itself from the continent … (GEAB 102 / LEAP)

¡Buenas!
En Alicante-Alacant los/as trabajadores/as soportan jornadas de trabajo más largas que las que permite el Estatuto de los Trabajadores.
En los 4 años de gobierno de Rajoy el número de horas extra no pagadas ya alcanzan los 3,5 millones a la semana según el INE.
España no puede seguir creciendo sobre la base de la devaluación salarial permanente y la precariedad en el empleo.
El compromiso de los socialistas para Alicante-Alacant es un SÍ a la creación de empleo de calidad que garantice una vida digna a los trabajadores, SÍ a recuperar la negociación colectiva y SÍ a reforzar la protección a los desempleados.

Hola compañer@
Rajoy y su gobierno llevan cuatro años imponiendo sus políticas y recortando en educación, en contra de toda la comunidad educativa. Los medios humanos y materiales en todo el sistema de educación pública se han reducido de forma alarmante: hoy hay 35.000 docentes menos que hace 4 años.
La educación es vital para el desarrollo de nuestro país y tenemos claro cómo es la educación pública que queremos. Estas son algunas de nuestras propuestas:
Paralizar la LOMCE e impulsar un Pacto Educativo para aprobar una nueva ley.
Aumentar los niveles de inversión en Educación.
Universalizar la educación de 0 a 18 años.
Reconocer las becas como derecho.
Congelar las tasas universitarias.
Definir un modelo de diseño y desarrollo del currículo acorde con la sociedad del conocimiento.

2016/06/03 [Gefira-Newsletter] After the Brexit Referendum, a Fiscal Union Will be Brussels' Surprise.
After the Brexit Referendum, a Fiscal Union Will Be Brussels' Surprise
The process of drawing up a joint EU budget has just commenced: it is the first step to a fiscal union. The idea of having a joint budget has long been pushed forward by the proponents of a more tight inte gration, just as it has been opposed by the European population at large. The term budgetary or fiscal capacity should be properly understood: it is a joint budget for the eurozone that will be governed by a real treasury in Brussels. To create a collective treasury, Europe's social and economical model has to be brought in line. For this, Brussels wants all minimum wages to be equal. Martin Schulz, the President of the European Parliament, announced drastic reforms after the Brexit referendum. Following 23 June the aforementioned process of integration will gain momentum and it is likely to encounter upheavals because there is widespread aversion to federalization.
Poland Prepares to Import Own Gas From the North Sea
Polish President Andrzej Duda has visited Norway to attend the Polish-Norwegian Economic Forum in Oslo. As a result, the political approval for gas supply to Poland from Norway has been made. Also Denmark has offered its support for the construction of the Baltic Pipe (a gas link that would connect Poland and Norwegian gas fields through the Danish infrastructure as part of the route). The state-run Polish gas company PGNiG bought in 2014 shares in four fields on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The gas supply from Norway as well as the LNG supplies to the Świnoujście terminal are part of Poland's plan to reduce its reliance on gas supplies from Russia. The Baltic Pipe would also secure gas supply to Poland, Ukraine, Slovakia and the Baltic states or even Finland.
French PMI Resembles That of Greece Rather Than Germany
The monthly €80 billion ECB's quantitative easing, harmful internal reforms and high public deficit have not helped the French manufacturing sector which has contracted for the third straight month in May, even if the reading was insignificantly higher than expected. The Markit Eurozone Manufacturing PMI posted a three-month low in May. The euro area has stuck in stagnation and France has joined Greece as a main concern.

I think one of the problems of the euro zone is this macro-economic imbalance – in our jargon that means very uneven development within the euro zone.

Deflation and real economy in the United States: the black hole
The systemic crisis is spreading much faster in the real economy than in 2008-2009. This low dormancy is a sign that the economic protection dikes are severely lowered, the synergies are broken and the common strategies of global resilience have vanished. Within this statistical fog, not even fully lifted yet, our team needs once more to assess the health of the real economy, particularly in the United States. How could we actually measure the US real economy? .. (LEAP)
Saving deficit, not China, threatens the American dream
US politicians invariably bemoan trade as the enemy of the middle class, the major source of pressure on jobs and wages.

While this explanation may be politically expedient, the truth lies elsewhere... (China Daily)
World crisis : The Path to the World Afterwards (a book by F. Biancheri)
The financial and economic crisis that the world has been facing in the past two years marks the end of the world order established after 1945. In 1989, the "Soviet pillar" has collapsed and we are now witnessing the accelerated decomposition of the "Western pillar" with the US at the heart of the process of disintegration. After two decades spent living in the myth of an "ended history" in which our Western camp would be imposed universally, it is almost impossible to imagine "a world after" where tendencies would not be defined in Washington or Wall Street, where "Anglo-American" would not necessarily mean "modern" and where the dollar would no longer be king...

Chances of a Federal Reserve interest rate increase by July rose significantly Friday when Fed Chair Janet Yellen said a hike could be justified "in the coming months."

Risk of US crumbling in tax havens
The Puerto Rican crisis is only a symptom of a fully dislocating society, with a direct confrontation between the financial centre (Wall Street) and the American people's interests. The only solution that Washington has found to help Puerto Rico to pay its bills was to give it a favourable tax status. More broadly, if there were so few Americans in the Panama Papers, it was due to the fact that they already have their own tax havens. In fact, the United States seems to be the largest tax haven in the world, because... (GEAB Bulletin, May 2016)

BkiUdDzxaKgT8WttD941 | TORONTO — Third-seeded Agnieszka Radwanska was the first player through to the Rogers Cup women's semi-finals after a 7-6 (1), 7-5 victory Friday over fifth-seeded Italian Sara Errani.
The win was a measure of revenge for Radwanska, who was eliminated in the quarter-finals by Errani at this year's French Open.
She'll be joined in the final four by fourth-seeded Li Na of China who defeated Dominika Cibulkova of Slovakia 7-6 (1), 6-2.
Radwanska and Errani traded breaks virtually the entire first set before Poland's Radwanska took the tiebreaker with a smooth volley drop and a wide return from Errani on set point.
The two players again traded breaks in the second until Radwanska held serve at 6-5 when Errani returned long on double match point.
Radwanska closed it out in just over two hours, avoiding any repeat of their 2012 meeting at the WTA Championship — an epic three-and-a-half hour, three-set victory for Radwanska.
The 24-year-old from Krakow has played well against Errani with seven wins in nine meetings. Her only loss prior to Roland Garros was in 2006 at Budapest.
Radwanska will take on the winner of the late match between top-seeded American Serena Williams and Magdalena Rybarikova of Slovakia. Defending champion Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic was to meet Romania's Sorana Cirstea in the other quarter-final.
Li, last year's finalist, needed 96 minutes to get by the world No. 20-ranked Cibulkova, who came into the tournament on a roll with a recent title victory at Stanford over Radwanska.
Li broke to make it 6-5 in the first set, taking the game with a blazing cross-court winner, but couldn't hold and needed a tiebreak to win the set. She cruised through the second set en route to her first semi-final berth since losing at Stuttgart in April.
There are no Canadians left in the singles draw.
Errani was set to return for her doubles match with Italy's Roberta Vinci later in the day. The top seeds were to meet Ottawa native Gabriela Dabrowski and Toronto's Sharon Fichman. | c4 | 5 | 1 | 5 | 1 |
BkiUbdbxK6nrxpQcznwb | President Obama Signs Indefinite Detention Into Law
By Amanda Simon
blog_indefdetention_1.jpg
President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) today, allowing indefinite detention to be codified into law. As you know, the White House had threatened to veto an earlier version of the NDAA but reversed course shortly before Congress voted on the final bill. While President Obama issued a signing statement saying he had "serious reservations" about the provisions, the statement only applies to how his administration would use it and would not affect how the law is interpreted by subsequent administrations.
The statute is particularly dangerous because it has no temporal or geographic limitations, and can be used by this and future presidents to militarily detain people captured far from any battlefield.
Under the Bush administration, similar claims of worldwide detention authority were used to hold even a U.S. citizen detained on U.S. soil in military custody, and many in Congress now assert that the NDAA should be used in the same way again. The ACLU believes that any military detention of American citizens or others within the United States is unconstitutional and illegal, including under the NDAA. In addition, the breadth of the NDAA's detention authority violates international law because it is not limited to people captured in the context of an actual armed conflict as required by the laws of war.
We are extremely disappointed that President Obama signed this bill even though his administration is already claiming overly-broad detention authority in court. Any hope that the Obama administration would roll back those claims dimmed today. Thankfully we have three branches of government, and the final word on the scope of detention authority belongs to the Supreme Court, which has yet to rule on the scope of detention authority. But Congress and the president also have a role to play in cleaning up the mess they have created because no American citizen or anyone else should live in fear of this or any future president misusing the NDAA's detention authority.
The ACLU will fight worldwide detention authority wherever we can, be it in court, in Congress, or internationally.

But he talked so eloquently in 2008, Who would have ever guessed he would turn into a tyrant.
Oh yeah - almost everyone that understood his past.
Rise Lord Vader
"Land of the Free", huh? I can hear the goose-stepping already from Washington!
Hes an American citizen, doesnt that mean he can be detained as well?? Maybe he should think before he signs anything.
Ron Davis
There are consequences....be careful who you vote for???
Gentlemen, we're going underground.
ACLU,
I don't like you in general. Today, you're on of the few places left to turn. FIX THIS!
SOPA and NDAA are WRONG!
Why in the minds of those that support this is it a good idea?
Fight for everyone's rights - support the ACLU.

Turchi plays special show at Lagerhead's
photo Carson Ellis
By Brian Tucker
Turchi's show at Lagerheads is homecoming and bon voyage for the blues trio's drummer Cameron Weeks, an area resident for two years is moving to New Orleans. Talking from Asheville where Turchi rehearsed for their current tour, Weeks sounded excited for the show he calls a going away party.
"(Lagerheads) is a place I go to. After being on the road, and literally being my last show in Wilmington, I want to have a good time," Weeks said.
Don't expect a stripped down set. Like the last stop there, they'll set up in the corner and open the windows. And be loud.
"Kirk, one of the main bartenders, (said) we were the loudest band there in the last ten years. Last time we turned it into a juke joint, people huddling up, dancing and having a good time."
Turchi – singer-guitarist Reed Turchi, bassist Andrew Hamlett and drummer Weeks, is touring behind their new album Can't Bury Your Past. Weeks is a Goldsboro, North Carolina native who moved to Chapel Hill for college and played in a lot of bands – The Comas, Jennyanykind, Two Dollar Pistols, and Some Army.
Bartending for four years at Cat's Cradle in Chapel Hill Weeks saw many bands come through (plus every member of Wu Tang perform) and met Turchi there. Running the university's now-defunct music label Vinyl Records, Turchi was looking for bands and later asked Weeks to play drums on some demos.
"Turchi said, I have Luther Dickinson from North Mississippi All Stars to play on it and produce it."
Cut to the present and Can't Bury Your Past is winning over audiences, getting radio airplay and solid reviews. Its title is apropos. When Turchi entered a Memphis studio to record a full length album they didn't like many of the songs. The ones they did like no one knew what to do with.
(EP My Time Ain't Now) is actually stuff that didn't fit personality-wise on the new album," Weeks said. "Songs like "My Time is Now," which is one of my favorites, and "Mind's Eye," I pushed to get that out. Reed thought we'd use it for online stuff. I thought, let's get something out now because we don't know when the record is going to come out."
Two other songs from that session – "Big Mama's Door" and "450 Miles," are on Can't Bury Your Past, recorded in Nashville and happened by chance.
"A friend gave us the studio's number they use in Nashville. We had two days off during a tour and Reed said let's go over, do a couple of songs and see what happens."
Nine songs happened, each done in one or two takes ("We just didn't know how much time we'd have"), a benefit of playing ten days straight on the road. Weeks maintains they had a clear idea of what they wanted but came out with something different.
"The thinking is we're going to do a simple record, knock it out. Then later its – what are we going to do with this? You really never know. You can't just harness creativity, when it happens it happens."
The same can be said of Turchi's live show, where sets include medleys of multiple songs to keep the energy going and the band on their toes.
"I never thought this would happen, but they've become more like Dead shows. There's a lot of improvisation. We have a loose structure of a song and you'll never hear it the way it is on the album. It's always something new every night."
More with Cameron Weeks
What's your favorite place to play?
Weeks: I like college towns better for the fact that that there's more to do. I know that's crazy, but big cities, just parking and ways to get around, is a pain. College towns are usually prettier and people way more accepting. Big cities, bands come through every night. They just want to get in and out the door.
How did you come to live in Wilmington?
Weeks: I moved from Chapel Hill. I have a lot of friends that live in Wilmington that are from Chapel Hill and I wanted to live near the beach for a couple of years. I have a friend who got into to grad school and needed a housemate. At the same Reed got a job in Memphis for awhile and he said you might as well move to Wilmington. That was two years ago.
And you were in bands before Turchi?
Weeks: Lot of bands in Chapel Hill – an indie rock band called The Comas, JennyAnyKind (blues, along same lines of Turchi) that was on Yep Roc and Elektra. I was in (honky-tonk band) Two Dollar Pistols for a while with John Howie, Jr. In Some Army from conception until I had to move. I've been in bands since I was thirteen, grew up in Goldsboro and went to Chapel Hill for college.
How did you and Reed meet?
Weeks: I was in a band called Aminal, and Aminal became Some Army. Reed was a senior at UNC-C and was head of the college record label – Vinyl Records. He just informed me that it just shut down. Apparently two years after Reed graduates they didn't maneuver the way Reed does. I don't know how he somehow convinced the college to give him money to put out his friend's records.…Some Army did an EP on there, Aminal did an EP.
I met Reed because he as at the clubs looking for bands to put out (on the label). My housemate at the time was good friends with him and we connected. He came to me one day and said (he was) trying to put together some demos and (had) Luther Dickinson from North Mississippi All Stars to play on it and produce it. (He said) You wanna play drums on it? That's how Turchi was born. We got an album produced with Luther Dickinson on it.
How soon did you feel like you guys were on the same page?
As soon as he asked me to play we did a couple of rehearsals at my house. We went out for beers and we always hit it off.
How do you balance life on the road and life here?
Weeks: I'm actually moving May 20th out of Wilmington to New Orleans. The reason I do Turchi, and I haven't pushed do anything in Wilmington, is that Turchi allows me to do what I want to do. I can cut it off. As soon as a tour is over or finished recording, I can go back to bartending and doing what I want to do and I don't have to think about until he calls me. He calls and it's, I need you to take off these three weeks to tour. I can plan it. We usually meet in Asheville and rehearse for a couple of days or come to Wilmington to rehearse.
Are you leaving for a change of scenery or a job opportunity?
Weeks: Little bit of both. In May I'll have lived two years in Wilmington. I never expected to settle down here and I want to live in another city for awhile. New Orleans is a city I've always enjoyed any time I've been there. Basically something different but I'm also a bartender.
The new record is doing well with audiences?
Weeks: To us, it's kind of gotten bigger than we thought it would be new music-wise. A year ago, we weren't thinking, let's get a horn section, let's put this on the record, and let's do this. People have responded to it really well, gotten great reviews, gotten radio airplay and we have a ten day tour of Italy in July.
Is typical for you to get more songs out of sessions?
Weeks: We go in with a clear idea with what we want and leave with something completely different. The thinking is, we're going to do a simple record, knock it out, then six days later its – what are we going to do with this? That's the way the new record came about. We had a friend who basically gave us the studio's number they use in Nashville. We had two days off in Nashville during a tour and Reed said let's go over, do a couple of songs and see what happens. That's when you come out with nine songs of a whole record, you really never know. You can't just harness creativity, when it happens it happens.
Was it recorded as single or live stakes?
Weeks: All the rhythm guitar drum and bass are done together. Every single song on Can't Bury Your Past is done in one or two takes. It's because we didn't know how much time we'd have. We had just been playing for ten days in a row on the road. We just knocked it out. Every drum track on that, my job was done in two hours.
What are your more favorite songs to play, that you look forward to playing live?
Weeks: We do, what I really like as a live band, and not bore ourselves or the audience, we like to do medleys. We do four songs in one; get them down where we can go back and forth. I never thought this would happen, but they've become way more like Dead shows. There's a lot of improvisation. We have a loose structure of a song and you'll never hear it the way it is on the album. We'll never do it the same way again. They'll always be a longer solo or somewhere in the middle I'll decide to slow it down tot half time. It's always something new every night.
What are you thinking for a next record, more electric or more stripped down?
Weeks: We've already been talking. I think the next record is going to be more stripped back to the first record. I think maybe more lo-fi, more Delta Blues kind of stuff.

BkiUdWLxK6wB9jjDgNMF | New proposed technique developed by scientists for placing a central venous catheter may prevent confused patients from pulling it out or dislodging it easily. Findings from a case report are published in Annals of Internal Medicine.
Physicians from Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Harvard Medical School saw a 77-year-old patient with waxing and waning mental status who required dialysis for chronic kidney failure. The patient became confused and repeatedly pulled out his hemodialysis catheters. Since he was unsuitable for an arteriovenous access and the medical literature offered no solution, the physicians developed a novel technique. They placed a right external jugular vein catheter, tunneling subcutaneously to exit from the patient's upper back, near the midline, just below his neck.
It was out of reach to the patient, but not in an area where it would cause pressure on his skin when he was lying on his back. It worked well enough that the authors suggest clinicians consider this placement when caring for patients at risk for central line dislodgement.
Media contact: For an embargoed PDF, please contact Lauren Evans at laevans@acponline.org. To interview the lead author, Robert S. Brown, MD, please contact Jacqueline Mitchell at jsmitche@bidmc.harvard.edu.
Depression among hemodialysis patients was reduced when they participated in positive psychology exercises online during their dialysis.
New approach to nurses′ solution‐focused communication with patients may improve the control of fluid intake during hemodialysis.
Hemodialysis can reduce the blood flow to brain and show cognitive function failure in older patients who are being treated for kidney failure, finds a study. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUcdLxK1yAgYaM1tww | France Is Taking A Major Step To Ease Pandemic Restrictions
By Eleanor Beardsley
France is taking one big step out of the pandemic. Starting today, movie theaters and swimming pools open back up, and the borders will be open to some tourists just in time for summer. There's also some good news for Americans in all this. NPR's Eleanor Beardsley joins us from Paris. Hi, Eleanor.
ELEANOR BEARDSLEY, BYLINE: Hi, Rachel.
MARTIN: So this all sounds positive. Tell us more about how these changes came to be.
BEARDSLEY: Yeah, it's wonderful. Vaccinations are way up in France and infections are down, so France is opening up. It's the second and next-to-final stage in the openings. The curfew that we have at 9 p.m. has been pushed back to 11 p.m. That's a big deal. That means people can hang out at those outdoor cafes that have now been open for a couple weeks. Today, swimming pools, gyms, sports facilities, movie theaters can open, but capacity is capped at 50%, and you can now eat inside restaurants. And also the borders are open to any European tourist who is vaccinated. And - wait for it, Rachel - France is one of the European countries that's letting vaccinated Americans in as of today. Americans just have to take one extra precaution. You have to board the plane and show a negative PCR or antigen test.
MARTIN: Before you get on the plane, you've got to show...
BEARDSLEY: Before you get on the plane, exactly. But then you're free to go. You can come.
MARTIN: You don't have to quarantine or anything when you get there.
BEARDSLEY: No, you don't. You do not. But only vaccinated Americans.
MARTIN: Right.
BEARDSLEY: You've got to get the vaccine, too.
MARTIN: Right. So, I mean, Parisians have gotten kind of used to having their city to themselves. Do they really want American tourists hanging around?
BEARDSLEY: Well, that's funny that you should ask. A lot of Parisians did say it was true, even though, you know, the economy was shut and there were no tourists, they got to know their own city. You know, somebody talked to me about just walking the streets of Montmartre when usually these are things you can't or don't want to do as a Parisian because there's throngs of tourists. But no, everyone is ready to open up. We are ready to get back to normal life here in Paris. Everyone - especially in the hospitality industry. And I was out last night, you know, talking to cafe owners. And I spoke to a bartender, Baptiste Billat, and I asked him how he felt about Americans coming back to his cafe restaurant, Le Regalia, which is on the Seine River. And this is what he told me.
BAPTISTE BILLAT: We always enjoy the American people in Paris. We're always happy to see them in the restaurants because they, like, good clients. They love to eat French, and then they give good tips. So that's good for us. They're always happy. That's why we love them.
MARTIN: They're always happy.
BEARDSLEY: Exactly.
MARTIN: They tip well, basically, is the operative phrase.
BEARDSLEY: Yeah.
MARTIN: So tourism - I mean, it is about money, isn't it? Tourism is a significant part of the economy in France.
BEARDSLEY: Absolutely. You know, actually, France is the world's top tourist destination, and tourism accounts for about 7% of French GDP. You know, 38 million tourists visited Paris in 2019, there were 89 million tourist arrivals in France, and 2.5 million Americans stayed in Paris in 2019 for a total of 14 million nights. Those are from the French tourism agency. You know, it really is the perfect time to come back. The sidewalk cafes are out. It's beautiful weather. So France is encouraging people to come back.
MARTIN: So, I mean, there are going to be more Europeans, more Americans taking trips there, most likely. What about travelers from Asian countries? I mean, France has been a really popular destination for Asian tourists. But at the same time, COVID-19 is all over in different pockets of Asia.
BEARDSLEY: Yeah, absolutely. You know, the Chinese love France. It's one of the big destinations. You see lines outside of, like, the Louis Vuitton stores. They love the luxury goods, go to Bordeaux. But so far, they're not being allowed in, and their government is also restricting them from traveling. There's different restrictions for the Brits where there's a new variant of the virus surging. So, you know, some countries are not as free to come in. The French government is using a kind of, you know, stoplight system - green, amber, red. And as vaccinations rise and other countries get safer and infection rates fall, other countries will get the green lights to come in. But so far, it's just EU and North Americans, so...
MARTIN: I'm booking my tickets. I'll see you soon.

BkiUdSo5qhDBTwvxJF5o | If you've been involved in a DWI accident resulting in serious bodily harm to another driver, passenger or pedestrian it is critical that you seek help from an experienced attorney immediately. If you are found guilty of a DWI that causes injury or death, you can be convicted of vehicular assault or vehicular manslaughter. If you are charged with any of these felony DWI crimes, you will face jail time, lose your driver license, and, you will also face hefty fines. The penalties get even tougher if you have been convicted of a DWI in the past 10 years. You do not want to face DWI with Injury charges like these alone.

BkiUdyI5qsFAfyQRaTXj | In 2001, R.W. Griffin and Engelhard Chemical, one of the largest chemical companies in the world (now owned by BASF) entered into a long term exclusive distributorship for BASF's 19-E fertilizer produced around the clock at Attapulgus, Georgia.
R.W. Griffin's ability to win a very sought after contract with BASF was based on its' ability and commitment to provide significant storage and logistical assistance for BASF's product.
19-E is a popular product for our Southeast farmers providing them needed inputs at a very reasonably priced cost. Farmers have been using the product with success for almost 40 years.
No risk of potential N loss due to volatilization.
Specialists suggest about 200 lbs of NITROGEN for 150 bu/a corn and about 275 lbs for 200 bu/a corn. For higher yields, consider 1.2 lbs of N for every bushel of expected corn grain yield.
Split apply N for corn with 50-75 lbs applied preplant and the remainder split at 12″ ht. and then several times through the pivot.
An 8 ton/a yield of bermuda needs at least 400 lbs/a each of N and of K20.
Hay responds well to 75 lbs/a of N applied pre-1st cut and then 100 lbs/a of N applied right after each cutting. POTASSIUM and SULFUR are essential for efficient crop use of N. 16-0-5 (a mix of 19-E and soluble potash) helps to provide a part of the crop's K needs.
For years my cotton growers have benefitted when I mix soluble potash and ammonium thiosulfate with 19E to produce a 14-0-4-2s. This prevents N loss by volatilization, provides a uniform application and eliminates the risk of leaf burn.
Nitrate and ammonium N sources are equally effective when each is properly applied and at the same rate of Nitrogen. | c4 | 4 | 3 | 5 | 2 |
BkiUdXg4uBhiy0ICle9P | SES-21 Satellite Becomes Operational to Provide 5G Services to the US
https://www.satnow.com/News/details/280-ses-21-satellite-becomes-operational-to-provide-5g-services-to-the-us
December 5, 2022 | Editorial Team
SES announced that the new SES-21 satellite became operational at the orbital position of 131 degrees West, after launching on October 4, 2022. Upon reaching its final fixed position and completing testing, SES will begin transitioning customers to the new satellite. SES-21 will enable SES to continue delivering C-band broadcast and radio services to millions of American homes, as well as provide other critical network communications services to the United States.
SES-21 was successfully launched by United Launch Alliance (ULA) in tandem with SES-20 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. SES-20 and SES-21 are highly efficient all-electric 702SP satellites manufactured and assembled in Los Angeles by Boeing.
SES is launching five satellites as part of a broader Federal Communications Commission (FCC) program to clear a portion of the C-band spectrum to enable wireless operators to deploy 5G services across the contiguous U.S. (CONUS). Satellite operators, including SES, have been tasked by the FCC to clear the lower 300MHz of C-band spectrum throughout the CONUS by December 2023. SES-21 is critical to that effort, enabling SES to transition existing services to the upper C-band frequencies while maintaining uninterrupted services for customers.
SES-20, the other C-band SES satellite launched by ULA in October, is scheduled to go into service before the end of the year.
"We are excited that SES-21 is now ready to serve our customers in the United States, and we would like to thank our partners at Boeing and ULA for their hard work in helping SES achieve this milestone," said Ruy Pinto, Chief Technology Officer at SES. "ULA's Atlas V rocket delivered SES-20 and SES-21 accurately to a near-geosynchronous orbit that enabled us to get SES-21 into service very quickly."

Lot 69 (Weapons & Militaria, 18th May 2017)
Fine and rare Lloyd's Patriotic Fund sword and belt of 100 Guinea value, awarded to Henry Lambert Esq. Captain of H.M.S. St. Fiorenzo, presented in 1805. The ormolu hilt of classical inspiration - the quillons formed as fasces, the knuckle bow as the club of Hercules entwined by a serpent, the pommel as the skin of the Nemean lion, the grip of finely chequered ivory, the langets cast with Naval trophies, the ormolu scabbard engraved with oak leaves on its top edge and with cast and chased elaborate Naval Medalslions on each side including Britannia with inscription 'St. Fiorenzo 1805' above, Hercules and the Hydra, the Nemean lion and open panels of Naval trophies on blue velvet inserts, two coiled serpent suspension loops - the top edge of the locket engraved 'R. Teed, Sword Cutlers, Lancaster Court, Strand' - the exterior retaining 95% of its original gilded finish - the curved single edged blade has sadly been heavily polished and now only bears faint remnants of gilding and blued finish and as a result lacks its presentation inscription but retains its engraved decoration - including 'H L' (Henry Lambert) monogram, figures of Britannia and Victory, the 1801 - 1816 Royal Arms, Naval trophies, dolphins, wreaths, etc, down its entire length. The sword is complete with its original ormolu mounted belt of blue leather faced on velvet and bullion work with interlocking buckle decorated with Britannia fighting the Hydra above 'Patriotic Fund 1803', lion's head bosses and twin suspension straps with sprung hooks. Also sold with this lot is a late Victorian ivorine plaque engraved with the missing presentation inscription - 'Presented by Messrs Lloyds of London To Henry Lambert CaptN. of H.M.S. St. Fiorenzo for his Bravery and skill in the Capture of the French National Frigate ''Psyche'' of 36 Guns and 240 Men on the 14th Feb 1805 after a close action of 3 hours 20 minutes.' Captain Henry Lambert R.N. was a British Naval hero whose real life exploits read like a Horatio Hornblower novel. A monument in St. Paul's Cathedral deservedly commemorates him as a Naval hero and his loss in battle in 1812 fighting the American frigate Constitution. A contemporary account of the action which led the presentation of the Lloyds 100 Guinea sword is as follows:- On February 13th, the thirty-six gun frigate ''San Fiorenza'', Captain H. Lambert, discovered three ships at anchor near Vizagapatam. These were the ''Psyche'', thirty-two, Captain Bergeret and two sail, her prizes, which immediately weighed and made off, pursued by the ''San Fiorenza''. After a chase of thirty-six hours, Captain Lambert came up with one of the ships, which he re-captured. Leaving a midshipman in charge of the prize, Lambert stool after the frigate and her companion, which he found had been the ''Pigeon'' but was now the ''Equivoque'' privateer, of ten guns and forty men, commanded by one of Captain Bergeret's lieutenants. Soon after eight p.m., the ''San Fiorenza'' got within gunshot of the French frigate and a hot action commenced, the ''Equivoque'' occasionally taking a part, which lasted till half-past eleven p.m., when the ''San Fiorenza'' hauled off to repair her rigging. A half an hour later, Captain Lambert bore up to renew the contest but just as he was about to re-open fire, a boat came from the ''Psyche'' to say that from motives of humanity Captain Bergeret had surrendered, although he might have continued the action much longer. On boarding the captured ship the cause of her striking was evident. Her second Captain, two lieutenants and fifty-four men lay dead on her deck and seventy officers and men were wounded. The ''San Fiorenza'' had a midshipman and eleven men killed and her master, two officers and thirty-three men wounded. Though nominally, almost of equal force, the ''San Fiorenza'' was a larger vessel than the ''Psyche'' and the weight of her broadside almost double that of her opponent. Captain Lambert's brilliant career ended when he received a mortal musket ball wound to the chest whilst commanding H.M.S. Java against the larger American frigate The U.S.S. Constitution which captured the Java in a bitter battle on 29th December 1812. He died from his wound on 4th January 1813 in Salvador, Brazil and was buried with full military honours. Sold with research and contemporary accounts of his Naval actions. Provenance: Purchased by Philip Southgate from Peter Dale Ltd. Pall Mall, London, in May 1984 - having swapped a number of guns, swords and helmets to the value of £7,000 for it
Sold for £26,000

BkiUdkI4uzlh5qyYgZnh | The EFJ asks the Council of Europe to declare Pavel Sheremet's murder a case of impunity
#CoEMediaFreedom #Impunity #ukraine
Ukrainian journalist Pavel Sheremet was murdered on 20 July 2016. On the second anniversary of his death, the European Federation of Journalists (EFJ) believes that the investigation into his assassination failed to look properly into who committed and commissioned the crime.
"Two years after his assassination, we should consider the journalist's murder as an impunity case. That is why the European Federation of Journalists asked the Council of Europe platform for the protection of journalism to change the status of the alert on Pavel Sheremet's killing to the category of "impunity". Ukraine will become one of the worst European States when it comes to carry out effective investigations following journalists' killing or disappearance."
Pavel Sheremet was a well-known journalist in Belarus and Ukraine, leading TV news programmes and working as a special correspondent. He initiated the creation of independent analytical and news website Belaruski Partyzan, which has been blocked in Belarus since last year. Since 2012, the journalist was working in Ukraine, newspaper Ukrainskaya Pravda and Radio Vesti. He died on its way to the radio's office to host his morning show when the car he was driving exploded shortly after it started.
The attack was condemned by Ukrainian officials, who promised to find those responsible for Sheremet's death. The authorities affirmed that the crime was related to the journalist's professional work. But nobody has been arrested, drawing criticism that the authorities are not putting enough efforts for investigation. The Security Service of Ukraine (SBU) affirmed 'lacking evidence'.
Five cases of impunity in Ukraine are still open on the Council of Europe platform for the protection of journalism:
Georgiy Gongadze, his body was found in October 2000
Viacheslav Veremii, killed in February 2014
Andrea Rocchelli, killed in May 2014
Andrei Mironov, killed in May 2014
Oleksandr Kuchynsk, killed in November 2014
Eleven other cases of impunity are ongoing in Europe: six happened in Russia; two in Azerbaijan; one in Montenegro; one in Serbia and one in Turkey.

BkiUbHE4ubnjoqNEqRCf | Meeting ISIL
Press TV goes deep into "liberated territory" were there is no Syria army and no way out. They must accept the presence of armed guards because kidnappings and looting is the law around here, this is especially true for journalists with camera crews. The bodyguards themselves are members of the so called "Freedom Fighters" but require payment, which is the norm within such Syrian liberated areas. This film takes us well inside the at this point infamous terrorist group ISIL to shine further light on the current situation.

According to Four-Star Wesley Clark a retired General of the United States Army, ISIL / ISIS is armed and founded by the United States and others from the West. One of their goal is to put fear into you and lie you into wars. Their plan is to take out seven countries in five years. Using 7 wars. Starting with Iraq, and then Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and, finishing off, Iran.

According to retired General Wesley Clark the primary motivation for those wars is to steal oil & gas from those 7 countries. This make sense because many past wars started or financed by United States and their allies involved countries with big oil and gas reserves. Now the US and their allies still do wars but using an increasing number of proxy-wars. In other words they do wars while hiding beyond others. Such as hiding behind ISIS, financing ISIS, arming ISIS, and use fear to lie into wars the American citizens and their allies.
Another important motivation is the United States are the biggest manufacturer and seller of weapons in the world. So more wars means more money. It is an immature way of making dirty and unethical money.
The American citizens and their president are intelligent, if they knew the real reasons for those wars most would be against it and there would be no war and no arming and financing ISIS. The elected American leaders do not represent the will of the majority of American citizens. Thus lying them into wars.
I do not think Obama is a terrorist. I think he might be lied into wars though.
Personally I believe that wars are immature. It's very unlikely that the current elected pro-war leaders will have the courage to make positive changes. I'm hopeful that a next generation of leaders will be able to find win-win solutions. Instead of win-lose. Finding win-win solutions require a maturity which some of the current elected leaders have not yet reach. It also involved a shift from the head to the heart which requires event more courage.

Last week, NPMA hosted a "Commercial Market Leaders Summit," attended by approximately 35 CEOs and senior managers of companies who do significant business in the commercial sector. Through facilitated discussion, the participants identified a variety of ways NPMA and PPMA can better support their businesses, particularly relating to pest management in the food supply chain. A number of the issues relate to codes, standards and regulations. The goal of the meeting was to develop a comprehensive industry plan to address challenges identified by the group. We will have a draft plan available shortly.

Brown recluse (Loxosceles reclusa) and brown widow (Latrodectus geometricus) spiders cause a significant amount of worry amongst homeowners in the areas where they are found (and perhaps just as often, in areas where they aren't found). Spider control often includes a combination of removal, exclusion, and topical and residual pesticide application. However, spider control can be a difficult exercise, especially for mobile spiders within a structure. Breaking away from traditional control strategies, a new research paper, led by spider expert Dr. Rick Vetter, explored the efficacy of a fumigant against brown recluse and brown widow spiders. Vetter and his colleagues evaluated sulfuryl fluoride against these two pest species by introducing the fumigant into a structure with containers of spiders placed throughout it, including at different heights. The sulfuryl fluoride, which reached a dose equivalent to 1.7x the rate used for drywood termites, was successful in killing adult brown widows and brown recluses throughout the structure. Future research will likely focus on the efficacy of fumigants against egg sacs, which are less permeable and susceptible to pesticides than adult spiders.
This research paper, "Exposure of brown recluse and brown widow spiders (Araneae: Sicariidae, Theridiidae) to a commercial sulfuryl fluoride fumigation" was published in the most recent volume of the Journal of Economic Entomology.

Last week, OSHA finalized a new rule, Occupational Injury and Illness Recording and Reporting Requirements – NAICS Update and Reporting Revisions. Beginning Jan. 1, 2015, all employers operating under the Federal OSHA plan must report any employee who is killed on the job (within 8 hours) or suffers a work-related hospitalization, amputation or loss of an eye (within 24 hours). Previously, reporting single hospitalizations, amputations or loss of an eye was not required. Companies located in states that operate under a state OSHA plan should check with their state's website for implementation dates.
Those companies that have 10 or fewer employees are not exempt from the requirement to report severe injuries and illnesses. However, they continue to be exempt from the requirement to routinely keep records of worker injuries and illnesses.
Employers can report these events to the nearest OSHA Area Office, the 24-hour OSHA hotline 1-800-321-OSHA, or electronically at www.osha.gov/report_online. NPMA advices you to please check with your state for additional reporting requirements.
For more information about the final rule and a link to the updated list of exempt industries, click here.
California Gov. Jerry Brown last week signed into law legislation NPMA helped develop allowing pest management professionals to electronically convey documents to customers as a means of complying with longstanding consumer information requirements. The 1984 consumer disclosure law previously limited conveyance options to first class mail, physically providing the information or posting it in a conspicuous place on the property. Assembly Bill 1685 also contains a Pest Control Operator of California spearheaded provision upgrading the Structural Pest Control Board's examination process. Click here to read the new law.
The Chairman and Ranking Democrat of a key House Agriculture subcommittee recently wrote U.S. Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack expressing concern with and raising questions about a pending Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service rulemaking that adjusts existing and establishes new Agricultural Quarantine Inspection fees including a $375 fee for each fumigation of a regulated commodity at a port of entry. Click here to read the letter.
The U.S. House of Representatives last week, by a bipartisan 262-152 vote, passed legislation prohibiting the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from finalizing rulemaking redefining and broadening the definition of the term "waters of the United States" under the Clean Water Act (CWA). President Obama has indicated that he would veto the bill. NPMA is concerned that expanding the scope of "waters of the U.S." would subject additional PMPs to CWA permitting requirements for certain pesticide applications. Click here to read the Hill article about the vote and here to see how your member voted.
Largely because of the increased use in cities of fipronil and dichclorvos, 90 percent of urban streams had pesticide levels exceeding a level of concern for fish and water dwelling insects from 2002 to 2011, according to a recently issued U.S. Geological Services report. Only 53 percent of urban streams contained pesticides exceeding the Aquatic Life Benchmark for the decade spanning 1992-2001. Click here to read the report.
A committee of the Seattle City Council today will consider a resolution banning the purchase or use of any neonicotinoid pesticide on any City-owned or operated land. NPMA contacted members of the Planning, Land Use and Sustainability Committee in opposition to the measure. City councils in Eugene, OR; Spokane, WA; and Shorewood, MN previously approved similar legislation. Click here to read more.

BkiUdSo4c3aisLf0Pqgc | Access Inc agrees to buy for PalmSource
Chris Nuttall in San Francisco
PalmSource, a software provider for handheld computers and mobile phones, Friday agreed its sale to Access Inc of Japan for $324m - five years after its parent floated in New York with a market value of nearly $54bn.
The sale highlighted the declining influence of Palm, which divided into two companies - palmOne and PalmSource - two years ago to separate its hardware and software businesses.
The price represented an 83 per cent premium on Thursday's closing Nasdaq price for PalmSource. On Thursday, its shares rose 77 per cent to $17.90.
PalmSource is responsible for the operating system for handheld computers such as the Zire and for mobile phones such as the Treo, both made by palmOne, now renamed as Palm again.
PalmSource has licensed the software to other hardware manufacturers but Palm overall has failed to make the inroads into the mobile phone sector that were anticipated in 2000.
"We are very excited about joining forces with Access to help create a leading provider of software for the mobile market," said Patrick McVeigh, interim chief executive.
Tokyo-based Access sells web browsing software for mobile phones. Toru Arakawa, chief executive, said its combination with the company and PalmSource's earlier acquisition of China MobileSoft, a developer of Linux technology, would enable it to provide a comprehensive solution for the mobile sector. Access is offering $18.50 a share in an all-cash transaction that values PalmSource at $324.3m.
The acquisition was also welcomed by Palm Inc, PalmSource's biggest customer: "Palm's award-winning user experience and application expertise, combined with Access's leading software development capabilities, will allow us to continue to deliver great products," said Ed Colligan, chief executive.

NeoLoad cannot be used as a standalone monitoring tool. It will be able to monitor a particular infrastructure only during the execution of a load test. Try to run a single user load test on an application (even a sample application would do) and then try to configure these monitors.
The errors that are present indicate that
1 & 2 : Since you are not running a load test, there are no load generators and no populations. Hence the line to add at least one Load Generator and create a scenario that references a particular population.

Umeå Centre for Global Health Research
Umeå Centre for Global Health Research var ett forskningscentrum vid Institutionen för epidemiologi och global hälsa vid Umeå universitet – som rent fysiskt är lokaliserat vid Norrlands universitetssjukhus i Umeå.
Centret bildades år 2007 med hjälp av bidrag från forskningsrådet FAS (numera Forskningsrådet för hälsa, arbetsliv och socialvetenskap (Forte), och medfinansieras av Umeå universitet.
Forskning
Centrets forskning var till naturen tvärvetenskaplig, med studenter och forskare med bakgrund i områden som demografi, folkhälsovetenskaper, epidemiologi, medicin, ekonomi, statistik och sociologi. Forskningen bedrevs huvudsakligen inom fem teman:
I – Epidemiological Transition
Temat rymmer jämförande forskning där utvecklingen av epidemiologiska sjukdomar i utvecklingsländer som Etiopien, Vietnam, Indonesien och Sydafrika kontrasteras mot situationen i norra Sverige.
II – Life-course Perspectives on Health Interventions
Här studeras införande och utvärdering av hälsoingripanden under olika skeden av livscykeln, från ofödda barn till åldringar och med hänsyn till sociala förhållanden och genusaspekter, såväl i utvecklingsländer som mer utvecklade länder.
III – Strengthening Primary Health Care
Denna forskning syftar till att sprida kunskap om ekonomi, etik och mänskliga rättighets- och rättvisefrågor till beslutsfattare och vårdgivare i rika och fattiga länder.
IV – Gender and Health
Här utgår forskningen från ny kunskap om genus och hälsa, för att bidra med kunskap inom sexuell och reproduktiv hälsa, jämställdhet och rättigheter i olika kulturella inramningar.
V – Climate Change and Health
Temat inrymmer såväl utvärdering av historiska data som nya fallstudier om till exempel klimatförändringar i de svenska fjällen, utbredningen av harpest, luftföroreningar i Nairobi, riskerna med värmeböljor och att arbeta vid höga temperaturer, spridning av sjukdomar som Rift Valley-feber, denguefeber, ebola- och zikafeber.
Internationella nätverk
Många av UCGHR:s projekt bedrevs inom ramen för nätverket Indepth (the International Network for the Demographic Evaluation of Populations and their Health), som fungerade som plattform för kunskapsutbyte och delning av hälsodata mellan världens fattigaste länder.
Åren 2012–2016 var UCGHR värd för WHO-programmet Collaborating Centre for Verbal Autopsy, som ledde fram till en WHO-standard för muntlig rapportering av dödsorsaker.
Från 2016 deltar många av centrets forskare i det globala nätverket ZikaPLAN (Zika Preparedness Latin American Network), som koordineras från enheten för epidemiologi och global hälsa, och som fokuserar på att inhämta och sprida kunskap om sjukdomen för att förhindra vidare spridning av zika-virus.
Utbildning
Tillsammans med Karolinska Institutet och Lunds universitet drev UCGHR The Swedish Research School for Global Health – den svenska forskarskolan för global hälsa . Vid UCGHR ges även internationella masterkurser vid Umeå international School of Public Health.
Publikationer
Centret ger sedan starten 2007 ut open access-tidskriften Global Health Action.

BkiUflg25V5jS9ZhZakm | A neatly laid kitchen becomes everyone's dream. Homeowners will throw away unnecessary items and store necessary items in storage furniture such as cabinets and drawers. Small-sized items must neatly laid out in the drawers, so they are easy to find when needed. In this matter, kitchen drawer organizers become the best solution.
Since there are so many available options, choose the one that meets desire and principle. Nowadays, more and more people pick kitchen drawer organizers that made of eco-friendly materials such as bamboo. Why the material should become the main priority? It's an important thing for a homeowner who wants to build a green kitchen concept. Bamboo is really popular, easy to find because the population is stable. It's become a trendy choice and offers amazing aesthetic appeal.
Drawer organizers made of bamboo easier to maintain if compared other materials. In case bamboo isn't a good option, consider solid wood as alternative green choice. There are so many manufacturers produce these drawer organizers, but pick the one certified by the Forest Stewardship Council, the quality is unquestionable.
Since there are so many famous manufacturers produce kitchen drawer organizers, make sure your choice would really live up to your main purpose. One thing need proper attention: budget. Budget is really important since the price of eco-friendly drawers may a bit costly. If budget become the main constraint, consider cheaper materials such as acrylic. It's still an eco-friendly option, but the quality totally different, not sustainable in the end.
Kitchen drawer organizers become must-have furniture, really important to organize small items such as spoons, forks, knives, ladles, scissors, etc. A proper organizing will make everything become easier to find, especially small-sized items. In spite of the price factor, these drawers are really helpful.
Don't worry to buy several drawers, as there are many available options, starting from the cheapest to the most expensive. If eco-friendly kitchen drawer organizers not attract your attention, consider the one made of other materials. Just like other furniture storage, these drawers also available in various features. | c4 | 3 | 1 | 4 | 2 |
BkiUdWo5qYVBWXyir12O | The 2007 race left San Sebastián de la Gomera on Sunday 2 December 2007 with the finish in English Harbour, Antigua, on the same course as the 2005 race. 2 singles, 15 pairs and 5 fours started the race, with a six-crew boat starting slightly later. One pair "Titanic Challenge" and one Four "Move Ahead II" retired early on.
Line Honours
The first to finish, "Pura Vida", was a four crewed by John Cecil-Wright, Robbie Grant, Tom Harvey & Carl Theakston (all GB) finished at 14.52 UTC on 19 January 2008, taking 48 Days, 2 hours, 52 minutes.
The first pair, "Gquma Challenger" (Gquma meaning"breaking wave"), was crewed by South Africans Bill Godfrey & Peter Van Kets. They finished at 00.15 UTC on 22 January, with the second pair, "No Fear", crewed by John Csehi & Nick Histon (both GB) finishing just 5 hours and 50 minutes later, after over 50 days at sea.
The next to finish, "Unfinished Business", comprised four women—Jo Davies (GB), Sarah Kessans (US), Emily Kohl (US) & Tara Remington (NZ)—who had all competed in the 2005 race but had failed to finish due to injury, capsizing or sinking. They finished on 23 January in a time of 51 days, 16 hours and 31 minutes, a new female-fours record for an Atlantic crossing. The women then renamed the boat "Finished Business".
Fifth to finish, "Go Commando", was crewed by Ben Gaffney and Orlando Rogers (both GB). They finished in 54 days, 8 hours and 39 minutes. Their row, and the preparation for it, were the subject of a 1-hour TV documentary shown on ITV 4 (UK) on 7 March 2008. Go Commando made a last minute dash and pulled away from "The Reason Why" crewed by Steve Gardner & Paul Harris (both GB), who finished 3 hours 24 minutes later, the sixth to finish.
Having started much later, "Oyster Shack Ocean Challenger" came in next. This was a "six" boat, although it was eventually rowed by five. Although "Oyster Shack" accompanied the race, it was a record attempt and not a race entrant and so was not placed (see below).
The seventh to finish, "Pendovey Swift" crewed by Ian Andrews and Joss Elliott (both GB), finished in 62 days, 20 hours and 56 Minutes. Next was "Mission Atlantic", a four comprising Andy Ehrhart, Justin Ellis, Mark Hefford and Nick Young (all GB) who completed the crossing in 65 days, 0 hours and 28 minutes although they were later disqualified (See "Race Positions" below). In eighth place came "Komale" with James Burge & Niall McCann (both GB) who took the start line, but immediately returned to San Sebastian due to a medical problem. They eventually started 2 days late and had a crossing time of 63 days, 2 hours and 5 minutes, but a race time 2 days longer than this.
"Jaydubyoo", crewed by brothers Andrew and Joseph Jordon-White (both GB), came ninth in 65 days, 19 hours 43 minutes—narrowly beating "Row of Life", crewed by Angela Madsen (USA) & Franck Festor (France), who finished in 65 days, 23 hours 24 minutes. Angela, a paraplegic, and Franck, a leg amputee, had originally planned to row the Atlantic in a differently-abled four, "Differents?" in 2006 but, when this was cancelled, agreed to row as a pair in order to "inspire, motivate and effect positive changes in the lives of those who are born differently abled and those who suffer serious trauma in their lives." "Differents?" made its first Atlantic crossing in 1997 and competed in the 2005 race as "Bout de Vie".
Eleventh was "Ocean Summit", crewed by Neil Hunter & Scott McNaughton (both GB), in 66 days, 10 hours and 10 minutes. Twelfth was "Pygram" with Fabien Decourt and Benoit Dusser (both France) in 72 Days, 3 hours and 3 minutes. "Atlantic Jack", crewed by Catherine Allaway (GB) & Margaret Bowling (Australia) came in only 2 hours 11 minutes later, although they were disqualified from the race (See "Race Positions" below). "C2", crewed by Andy Watson (GB) and Ian McGlade (Ireland), also finished the same day in 73 days 10 hours and 45 minutes, but were relegated 2 places for using emergency drinking water.
"Silver Cloud", crewed by Clair Desborough, Sarah Duff, Rachel Flanders & Fiona Waller (all GB), finished in 74 Days 1 hour and 3 minutes, putting them thirteenth in the race and making 17-year-old Rachel Flanders the youngest person to have rowed an ocean.
The two Solos both came in on 16 February, "1 Charmed Life" rowed by Peter Collett (GB/Australia) finished in 75 Days, 23 hours, 46 minutes in 14th place, and the "Spirit of Fernie" rowed by Paul Attalla (Canada) in 76 Days 7 Hours and 46 minutes was placed 16th by the demoting of C2.
"Barbara Ivy", crewed by Linda Griesel & Rachel Smith (both GB) finished 17th in 76 days 7 hours and 46 minutes and the final finisher was "Dream Maker" with Elin Haf Davies & Herdip Sidhu (both GB) in 77 days, 7 hours, 37 minutes
Race Positions
Most finishing positions were unaltered, "C2" was relegated 2 places, from thirteenth to fifteenth, for using over 110 litres of their emergency drinking water
Two boats which completed the crossing were disqualified from the race for receiving assistance en route. These were "Mission Atlantic", who were supplied with food, and "Atlantic Jack", who received food and a rudder-pin.
Oyster Shack
"Oyster Shack Ocean Challenger" was attempting to beat the record for the fastest rowed Atlantic crossing of 35 days 8 Hours and 30 minutes, set in 1992 by "La Mondiale" with a French crew of 11. The same "La Mondiale", this time with a British & Irish crew of fourteen, and an American rowed tri-maran "Orca", with a crew of four, set out from Puerto de Mogán, Gran Canaria, for Port St. Charles, Barbados, at about the same time—both trying to beat the record.
"Oyster Shack" had a late crew change and delayed their start until 5 December 2007, 2 days after the race started, hoping for better weather. Unfortunately the new crew member, Andy Morris, injured his knee and the attempt was abandoned after 22 hours with the boat towed to El Hierro. Having returned to La Gomera by ferry the boat was repaired and the five remaining crew members: Simon Chalk, Ian Couch, George Oliver, Mike Martin & Ben Thackwray (all GB) decided to try without a replacement.
Having waited for favourable weather again the second attempt left on 23 December 2007. Initially they had good weather and made good time, however, the rudder sheared off, the weather deteriorated and the repaired rudder broke again. They finally arrived in 37 days 5 hours and 39 minutes failing to beat the record. In the meantime "La Mondiale" had beaten the record with a time of 33 Days 7 hours and 30 minutes. This was the first crossing by a crew of five and the also the world record for fastest time from Canaries to Antigua in a row boat; as the four faster Atlantic crossings have all been to Barbados (which is subject to more favourable mid Atlantic currents).

Poured most of the night. We were soaked in the the morning. Hung our stuff and waited. Accuweather said it would be clear at 2:00. Decided to pack up and leave wet or dry at that time. We were packed and ready when the rain started in earnest. We were getting wet even under the picnic table cover. Accuweather changed the clearing time twice more, the last for 4:00. We knew that was too late for us to start. Decided to stay put another night.
Did laundry, read, got organized. Mickey updated web page. I dried the sleeping bags in the dryer and also the tents. Hung the footprints and the flies.
Mickey went to the store as we were out of food. (Goreburger for lunch!) Store was closed at the campground. He went down the road to our last store and bought 3 cans: chicken and dumplings, peas and applesauce. Put the first two together along with my rosemary and English thyme. MAT, baby!1 Slurped the applesauce out of the jar in turn. Oh, and he bought a 6-pack of Heineken.
The Pickin' Shed had a group of very old people come in while we were drying stuff. It's a good sized building and was perfect for our endeavors. But these people needed to play music. There were 3 guitars (4 in time), one bass, a mandolin. They took turns playing songs. When they made it around, they asked me if I'd like to do one. Would have preferred to play a guitar, but I sang "Amanda." Took my turn for the next 3 rounds, then made dinner and turned in.

A farming family has been left in disbelief after thieves stole hundreds of metres of hedging from their field near Aylsham.
Neighbours alerted Joanne Keeler and her father Michael Keeler, both from Horsford, that 320m of mixed bushes had been stolen from the family's land, Spratts Green, on Burgh Road.
The thieves took the entire hedgerow, including the roots, plastic casing and support canes, overnight on Sunday (December 20).
It had been planted three weeks ago and cost around £5,760.
Around 320m of hedgerow was stolen from the field in between Buxton and Aylsham. - Credit: Joanne Keeler
Ms Keeler, who is also a Horsford parish councillor, said: "I was shocked when I found out.
"My first reaction was 'no way'. You just can't believe someone would steal a hedge, can you?
"It is shocking that you can't even put some hedging down. It doesn't feel like you can have anything at the moment. Nothing feels safe."
The 37-year-old said she believed it had been a "semi-professional job" as the hedges had been pulled out cleanly.
She added: "Obviously hundreds of metres of hedges would be too much for a household, so the thieves clearly had a job for it.
"You wouldn't just go past the field and think 'Oh look there is a hedge I'm going to steal that.' It must have been semi-organised.
"I would only imagine that the thieves must be replanting them somewhere else - where that would be I don't know."
Ms Keeler reported the theft to Norfolk Police and officers have begun an investigation.
She added: "Nothing like this has ever happened to me or my family before. It is really bizarre.
"I spoke to the guy who planted the hedge and he said the same thing - as did the police."
A spokesperson for Norfolk Police said: "I can confirm police are investigating the theft of 320 metres of hedging from Burgh Road in Norwich between 4pm on Sunday December, 20 and 8am on Monday December, 21.
"Enquiries are in their early stages and anyone with information should contact Norfolk Police on 101 quoting reference number 36/89510/20." | commoncrawl | 5 | 1 | 5 | 2 |

Dental Hygienist Schools in Illinois
Although it barely makes it into the country's fiftieth percentile, in terms of size, Illinois is known for its diverse economic structures and industries. Chicago is the largest metropolis in the state, and a huge transportation hub within Illinois, making it the most popular destination.
However, Illinois also boasts natural resources of coal and timber in the south, as well as great agricultural and small industrial cities in the center region, which diversify the economy and expand opportunities for residents and tourists alike. Illinois is the fifth most populous state, however, despite its small land size, it is not densely populated because the diverse economy allows you to choose different areas to live, as opposed to cluster cities, which are more popular in other states.
Chicago may be the first city that comes to mind when thinking of the Prairie State, but there is so much more to offer in the heart of the Midwest. With access to the great lakes, and one of the busiest airports in the country, Illinois is a wonderful place to call home.Results: 3 Matching School Ads Request InfoUEI College
