Fascinating. I am going to get that book. So much great stuff to read, so little time.
I still have to read 'The seven storey mountain' which I have had for years!
Merton can be a fountain of insight when he is in the zone. Here, he is definitely in the zone. The power of the Bible is precisely that it is transformative. Modern biblical scholarship often overlooks this -- the Bible is not a dead book like the Code of Hammurabi or the Epic of Gilgamesh. The Bible contains the living Word of God, not simply old stories or legends or history or philosophy or theology. It is more, as Merton so wisely points out. It changes us if we are open to its power.
Sadly much of modern biblical scholarship is designed to protect us from this power, to keep it from transforming us through the Holy Spirit. As Kierkegaard pointed out in his critique of 19th century German scholarship.

A science club for senior nursing home residents? What a great idea!
I came across an article about health and had to share what I read with our customers! It discusses the award winning program, Science for Seniors, which placed first place for best practice from the National Certification Council of Activity Professionals. A science activity for seniors makes so much sense because science is engaging, fun, and thought provoking.
The article encourages activity directors to explore incorporating science into their programs in four steps: introducing a topic, presenting fun facts, watching a video on the subject and conducting an experiment with residents. The activities, coupled with the experiment, will engage residents and stimulate their minds. You're never too old to learn something new! For example, you could plan a science day or series of events around the subject of Plumbing.
Introduce residents to different types of pipes that are used for plumbing.
Watch this Plumbing Documentary from Georaphical History.
Then perform the water pressure experiment shown in this image below, along with 9 others from this Sick Science Kit.
Participants will have the chance to learn something, as well as collaborate with others in their community. Give it a try! There are so many experiments out there to meet the needs and interests of your residents. If you need some inspiration, head to our science kits to see where you can start, or comment below with any questions and we can help you plan your activity.
Get more ideas in the full article from about health titled: Science Projects for Nursing Home Residents. I love the story about the WWII Veteran being engaged through a science program on submarines.

Victim also charged after stabbing fight at NJ casino is caught on video
Associated Press Published: November 27, 2022
This Feb. 22, 2019 photo shows the exterior of Harrah's casino in Atlantic City, N.J.
ATLANTIC CITY — Authorities in New Jersey say they are seeking three people and have issued a summons to a fourth person in connection with a stabbing at an Atlantic City casino on Thanksgiving Day.
Atlantic City police say officers were dispatched just after 1:30 a.m. Thursday to The Pool at Harrah's Resort and Casino after a report of a fight.
Officers arrived to find a disturbance in the valet area and found that three individuals had been stabbed or slashed. The victims, who were from Atlantic City and Camden, were treated at the scene and then taken to AtlantiCare Regional Medical Center for injuries said not to be life-threatening.
Police said three people were being sought on aggravated assault and weapons charges while a fourth person who was one of the stabbing victims was also issued a summons pending a future court date on an aggravated assault charge.
Still from video shared on Twitter.
The Press of Atlantic City reported that videos circulated on social media later on the holiday showed the fighting from different angles, including a person who appeared hurt, and another showed a blood-soaked couch by the pool.
Police didn't say what the fight was about. They asked anyone with information to contact investigators.

WHAT MEN WANT SOUNDTRACK
Brian Tyler's WHAT MEN WANT Soundtrack Coming Up from Lakeshore
Next week, Lakeshore Records will be releasing the soundtrack to the fantasy-comedy WHAT MEN WANT, a kind of gender reversal of the 2000 Mel Gibson comedy, WHAT WOMEN WANT.
(may not be final album artwork)
Directed by Adam Shankman (A WALK TO REMEMBER, HAIRSPRAY) and WHAT MEN WANT Taraji P. Henson, Aldis Hodge, Richard Roundtree, Wendi McLendon-Covey and Tracy Morgan, the movie follows a female sports agent who has been constantly boxed out by her male colleagues until she gains an unexpected edge over them when she develops the ability to hear men's thoughts.
"For this score, initially [director] Adam Shankman and I talked about doing something that was quite different," Tyler said in an interview posted in a recent Soundtrax column. "We were thinking that it probably would be closer to a CRAZY RICH ASIANS style of score, but it actually ends up being a cousin of that. The main character, she's very strong but also very vulnerable at the same time; she's struggling with a lot of life decisions when she happens upon this crazy supernatural ability to hear the thoughts of other people. But it's told in a way that is really relatable. The vibe that I went for ended up being a kind of throwback quartet jazz with saxophone, piano, upright bass, and jazz drums, but much more pared down than CRAZY RICH ASIANS was. This was more of a soloistic type of thing within a jazz idiom. It also goes into a lot of funk and throwback soul music that's really from the '70s as well as a bit of throwback to the 1990s in the style of the music. Some of it we recorded as if we were making a record from the '70s or the '90s. In that way we weren't going for the traditional orchestral Hollywood score, this has a different twist on it, a very different vibe, musically. I've never done anything like it."
The soundtrack will be released digitally on February 8, the same date the film is released via Paramount. The score album is now available for pre-order on Amazon.
The comedy will be released by Paramount Pictures nationwide on February 8.
Watch the film's trailer:

AAPL: 147.085 ( +3.125 )
Top iOS apps earn 4.6x more than Android, but Google Play is gaining ground
Neil Hughes | May 31, 2013
Article Hero Image
Apple's iOS App Store remains by far the most profitable place for mobile developers to sell their applications, but Android's Google Play has managed to increase its share of revenue significantly over the last six months.
The latest data published this week by mobile app analytics firm Distimo and provided to AppleInsider reveals that the top 200 grossing applications in the iOS App Store in April earned $5.1 million in revenue per day. That's a number 4.6 times higher than the $1.1 million per day earned by the top 200 grossing applications on Android's Google Play marketplace.
In one illustrative example of Apple's dominance, Electronic Arts' The Simpsons: Tapped Out earned $4.8 million combined in the month of April. Of that revenue, 79 percent came from the iOS App Store, while the remaining 21 percent was a result of gamers on Android.
But the data also shows that Google Play is gaining ground. While the Android storefront accounted for 19 percent of combined revenue in November of 2012, that share went up by 8 percentage points to 27 percent this April.
As an example of this trend, Blood Brothers by developer Mobage earned $1.8 million combined in April, and 61 percent of that revenue came from Google Play. The remaining 39 percent was generated by customers from Apple's App Store.
In other, regional examples, World at Arms by Gameloft earned more from Android than iOS in large countries in Europe, such as the U.K., as well as across Asia. And WhatsApp Messenger, a popular networking client, took in more revenue on Android than iOS in Germany, Italy and Spain.
"Although the vast majority of applications still generate more revenue in the Apple App Store than Google Play, there appears to be a great opportunity in Google Play in terms of revenue," Distimo said in its conclusion, noting to developers that "localization is the key."
icoco3
An analysis of potential customers vs sales on each platform would be much more revealing.With Android having a "wider" user base yet still lags in cash flow.
eternal emperor
So Android will hit parity with iOS when it has 15.6 billion units in the wild.
macharry de
I will publish the relative numbers @ Mac-Harry.de later this day. Apple is really astonishing. Android not. It's just an advertisers system. Not more. Not less.
jungmark
It's not surprising that Google is gaining ground. It's not that iOS is losing (it isnt) it's more likely that Android is spreading like a virus and the sheer numbers has to catch up some time.

CITROËN DS3 R5: A NEW ADDITION TO THE FAMILY!
WRC2/RC2/ERC A FULL 2014
From the Citroën DS3 R1, intended for beginners, to the works Citroën DS3 WRC entered in the World Rally Championship, Citroën Racing offers the widest range of rally cars.
With this season just underway, Citroën Racing is extending its line-up following the homologation of the new Citroën DS3 R5.
Equipped with a 1.6-litre turbocharged direct injection engine, the four-wheel drive Citroën DS3 R5 offers affordable, top level customer racing.
Unveiled last season during Rally de Portugal and at the launch of the Citroën Top Driver series in the WRC, the Citroën DS3 R5 has just been homologated by the FIA.
The latest and eagerly-awaited member of the Citroën Racing line-up has already sold over thirty units. The first car to be delivered to a customer will take part in the Rally di Sanremo this weekend, driven by the crew Rudi Michelini/Nicola Angilleta.
This new Citroën DS3 R5 is the perfect tool for experienced drivers looking to compete in a four-wheel drive car. Its performance levels will enable crews to fight at the front in the regional FIA championships (ERC, MERC, etc.) and in the majority of national series. The Citroën DS3 R3 is also one of the leading models used in the FIA WRC2 Championship, the final rung on the ladder leading to the top level.
"Citroën Racing is restating its commitment to customer racing with a vehicle positioned one step away from the top of the pyramid," emphasized Marek Nawarecki, Customer Racing Manager at Citroën Racing. "Long before we won the first of our eight World Rally Championship Manufacturers' titles, we worked very closely with many private teams, providing them with cars that met their requirements. In recent years, our product range has expanded and we are proud to offer the biggest line-up of rally cars, from the R1 to the WRC. The Citroën DS3 R5 is now available following a long development programme which has enabled us to offer our customers a fast and reliable car."
Winner of the Citroën Top Driver and the FIA WRC3 Championship last year, Sébastien Chardonnet played a significant role in developing the car. As a reward for winning the title, he will be competing in six FIA WRC2 rallies this year in a Citroën DS3 R5. His programme is due to get underway at Rally d'Italia Sardegna on 6-8 June.
The winner of this year's FIA Junior WRC, which starts at the weekend in Portugal, will also be offered similar support for the 2015 season.

Paid sick leave to be extended to 800,000 U.S. employees
Staff | February 29, 2016
The Department of Labor has announced a proposed rule to implement a new executive order that would require employers that enter into covered contracts with the U.S. federal government to provide covered employees with up to seven days of paid sick leave annually, including paid leave allowing for family care.
The executive order, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for Federal Contractors, was signed by President Barack Obama on Sept. 7, 2015.
The proposed rule, which was published in the federal register on Feb. 25, describes the categories of contracts and employees covered by the executive order; the rules and restrictions regarding the accrual and use of paid sick leave; the obligations of contracting agencies, the Department of Labor, and covered federal contractors under the order; and the remedies and enforcement procedures to implement the Order's requirements.
Read: The perks your staff want more than a raise
"Nearly 44 million workers in the U.S. don't get any paid sick leave from their employers," said the Department of Labor in a news release. "That means when illness strikes, nearly 40% of private sector workers face a difficult choice: go to work to earn the full paycheck they so desperately need, or make a financial sacrifice – and risk losing their job – to stay home to care for themselves or a family member.
"While we have a ways to go to ensure every worker in America has paid sick leave, the executive order will provide additional paid sick leave to an estimated 828,000 workers. Nearly 437,000 of those currently receive no paid sick leave."

Social inequalities in Brazil directly affect the different conditions for accessing education in the country. Almost all Brazilian indicators highlight this fact.
Inequalities are perceived in conditions for accessing education and in education results of Brazilian children, youth and adults especially penalizing some ethnic-racial groups, rural and the poorest populations, young and adult people that have not concluded the compulsory education in adequate age, as well as children and persons with deficiency.
Deep and broad racial and ethnic inequalities continue to exist in the Brazilian society (especially in relation to some specific groups such as Indigenous population, African descendents, quilombolas, prisoners and rural population). The specialized literature shows that there is strong correlation between ethnic background and educational opportunities. These relations coexist side by side with social inequalities – including regional inequalities within the country –, which result in educational exclusion of a considerable number of youth and adults.
There must me a guarantee that all students have access to a good-quality education that can respond to all basic learning needs to enrich lives of youth. This is the way for the right to education for all to become a real fact. The UNESCO Convention against Discrimination in Education (1960), other International Human Rights Treaties, as well as the Brazilian Legal Framework prohibit any exclusion or limitation of educational opportunities. Socially attributed or perceived differences, such as gender, ethnic-racial background, language, religion, nationality, social background, economic situation, deficiencies, etc. Inclusive education is not simply a matter of turning school accessible. It is being proactive on the identification of barriers and obstacles that students face when trying to access quality educational opportunities; and on the elimination of barriers and obstacles that drive to exclusion.
UNESCO intends to support the country on the implementation of affirmative actions to promote equal opportunities of access to quality education, including all groups of the Brazilian society.

…though it seems tool developers at Cadence are trying to change my mind.
I just watched their Test-the-Testbench webinar delivered by Hannes Froehlich, Cadence solutions architect, that demonstrates the unit testing and mocking features Cadence has recently added to Specman. Those are features that should be very appealing for hardware teams that understand the value of software techniques like unit testing or TDD. I'd recommend people watch the webinar. It's only 30min. Here's the highlights I saw.
First, there's the title of the webinar: Testing the Testbench. I'm assuming someone at Cadence has seen enough of their customers bungling their way through poor quality testbench code that they figured it was time to suggest verification engineers test their own code. I've spent a couple years on this same topic and everyone I've talked to thinks this is a reasonable idea. Now we can add another (much louder and more influential) voice to that discussion.
Next, there's a slide that explains the value of adopting a software-like approach to hardware verification with a definition of unit testing. You can see the emphasis given to focused and isolated testing at a fine granularity. This is what we're missing in hardware development and specifically what Cadence is suggesting we consider. This is software testing in a nutshell that we can't continue to ignore.
Then we get to the layout of the test framework. For people unfamiliar with unit testing, this is typical of other xUnit frameworks. There's a top-level entity, which Cadence calls the test launcher. Then there's a series of testsuites each containing one or more testcases. Also on this slide is the point of fast runtimes.
With that, you're creating a testsuite called calc that focuses on the calc_crc method in the my_checker_u. The tool parses the specification and code then spits out an empty template which I gathered is not something you would modify. I believe you also get a testcase template out at the same time the testsuite is generated.
Now, if Cadence stopped there, you'd have something that looks a lot like SVUnit. Scripts to build testsuites and testcases and the framework that pulls everything together (the underlying mechanics are entirely different b/c of the language differences but for users, the look-and-feel is very similar). The big extra though happens at about 22:15 of the webinar where Hannes quickly (too quickly) shows that Cadence has also built in the means for automatically generating mocks that substitute dependencies with simple hooks that let users target very specific functions.
On this line, you can see a mock in action where 'eu_return_value_of_valid_address' is used to override the functionality of the my_monitor_u checker. If you'd have been watching closely, you'd have seen the original functionality back at 18:58 of the video (hint: line 22).
That's isolation. The mock gives you direct control of the branch conditional on line 22. Hannes sets it to FALSE in the video to target the code on lines 23 and 24. He could set it to TRUE in a different test to target line 26. Mocking in a (teeny tiny) nutshell; replacing dependencies with direct control that allows for exact isolation. I'd like to see Cadence post a follow-up video to explain more about how the mocking works and the types of things you can do. Unless I've read too much into this, I think it's quite a lot!
The templates are quite verbose. I'd expect people to grow tired of the comments and want them removed at some point, though they will be good embedded documentation for new users.
They suggest individual files for each testcase. People will probably find that a tad annoying as well, especially if you're doing TDD. For me, unit tests have become documentation and visually, it's nice to have all that documentation in a single file for a single entity. I didn't see anything preventing more than 1 testcase/file, it just wasn't the suggestion.
Hannes notes that the approach is good for new code development but gets tricky for retrofitting existing code. I'm assuming the problems arise from partitioning of the UUT as opposed to the tool itself, but it would be nice to get clarification there. What are the issues for legacy code?
That's it for my look at the new unit testing features in Specman. My final 2 cents… I think this is a very promising development from one of the big 3 EDA companies. It's someone else validating that there are pro-active solutions to the debug epidemic. It's also validation of a lot of the work we've done on AgileSoC with respect to unit testing and TDD as well as the work that's gone into SVUnit and MiniTB.
Finally, if you're not a specman user but you still want to try unit testing, this SVUnit tutorial is a good place to start. With SVUnit you get the framework but not the mocking.

In Albert O. Hirschman's brilliant analysis of conservative responses to progressive social programs entitled The Rhetoric of Reaction, he identifies and critiques three reactionary narratives that conservatives use to critique governmental programs -- the futility thesis; the jeopardy thesis; and the perversity thesis.
The futility thesis posits that governmental attempts to cure social ills or to correct alleged market imperfections are doomed to fail because the government cannot possibly identify the problem with sufficient clarity, predict the future with sufficient accuracy, and devote resources sufficient to "make a dent" in the problem.
The jeopardy thesis argues that "the cost of the proposed change or reform is too high as it endangers some previous, precious accomplishment." The jeopardy thesis thus subjects governmental interventions to a cost-benefit analysis and finds them wanting because the gains to the beneficiaries never exceed the costs to society of putting existing social arrangements at risk.
The perversity thesis is pervasive in conservative critiques of government programs. On any given day, the reader of the Wall Street Journal's editorial page is likely to find one or more applications of that thesis. Perhaps the most common target of the perversity thesis is the perennial call for an increase in the minimum wage. As the Journal's editorial page told us on August 11 in an editorial entitled "Another Minimum Wage Backfire," minimum wage increases inevitably harm the very low income workers that their supporters foolishly mean to help by providing an incentive to employers to replace low-wage employees with computers or machines.
The perversity thesis is so common in conservative arguments against government programs because it has a unique power to persuade.
The futility thesis is plausible to pessimists and libertarians, but not people who benefit from the many successful governmental programs that are undeniably working today. The jeopardy thesis is not intuitively obvious, because the existing social arrangements that may become endangered are not inherently more valuable than the interests of the beneficiaries of the governmental intervention. And discussions about jeopardy quickly devolve into arguments about values and incommensurables that rarely produce answers that command a consensus.
Applying the perversity thesis to social problems, on the other hand, has the potential to persuade reasonable people that government action is unwarranted. A program that is bound to harm the purported beneficiaries more than it helps them is not much of a program from any perspective.
We should, however, be very cautious about accepting the perversity thesis because it is nearly always based on speculations about cause-effect relationships that have surface plausibility but rarely hold up under deeper scrutiny. The world is usually more complex than those who would apply the perversity thesis are willing to concede, and relationships between causes and effects are therefore more difficult to establish.
In the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, conservative commentators claimed that the cause of the disastrous breaches of the levees that were supposed to protect New Orleans was a lawsuit filed by a local environmental group called Save Our Wetlands that resulted in an injunction against a project by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to create huge gates to prevent surge waters in Lake Borgne and the Gulf of Mexico from entering Lake Pontchartrain. Conservatives argued that, had the project gone forward and had the gates become operational, New Orleans would have survived Hurricane Katrina. Therefore, the fishermen the lawsuit was designed to protect — because the project could have disrupted the Lake Pontchartrain fishery by cutting off access to the lake — were ultimately harmed by the Katrina flood.
Tyrell's comments and those of several other conservative bloggers inspired Professor Douglas Kysar and me to dig below the surface into the facts underlying the Save Our Wetlands litigation and the Katrina destruction. We published our preliminary findings in CPR's Unnatural Disaster report and provided a much more detailed analysis in the Duke Law Journal. Our conclusion was that while it was always possible that massive closable gates at the Menteur and Rigolets passages between Lake Borgne and Lake Pontchartrain would have prevented some of the damage, it was highly unlikely that the gates would have prevented any of the harm, and they might in fact have exacerbated the damage to those living on the Lake Borgne side of the gates.
As time passed, many engineering studies identified several causes for the flooding that occurred in each of the four areas of the city protected by levees (called "polders"), none of which would have been affected in the least by the Menteur and Rigolets gates.
The conservative commentators were, in short, far too simplistic in their application of the perversity thesis to the damage caused by Hurricane Katrina, and they were almost certainly wrong.
We should be on the lookout for other applications of the perversity thesis that offer plausible sounding, but highly simplistic explanations for why government programs designed to help the poor, protect workers, or preserve the environment are likely to harm the beneficiaries of those programs more than to help them.
At the very least, when conservative opponents of governmental programs trot out the perversity thesis, we should ask the beneficiaries what they think about the programs. They are, after all, closer than conservative pundits to the circumstances that give rise to the need for such programs and better able to assess how well they are working. If they are not persuaded that the programs are doing them more harm than good, then we might take the predictions of the pundits with more than a few grains of salt.

COMMUNITY VISITS: Hunt and Brisley given top marks while French trio are Tres Bon!
Community spirit was high on Thursday, March 17, as a total of five Leyton Orient players headed out to meet fans in Waltham Forest. Nicky Hunt and Shaun Brisley attended Ainslie Wood primary school in Chingford to celebrate the school being part of the Healthy HerO's programme. This programme has seen specialist coach Michael Kalu deployed into the school to support pupils with their literacy, numeracy and behaviour through an innovative active learning curriculum and mentoring programme.
The afternoon saw the players answering questions from pupils in year three and four before Nicky Hunt became teacher for the day, reading to pupils from the book 'The Hattrick'. To cap the day off, the school then received free tickets so that their pupils could cheer on the pair and the rest of the Orient team at the home game against Morecambe on the following Saturday.
The club's French trio consisting of skipper Mathieu Baudry, midfielder Nigel Atangana and striker Armand Gnanduillet had gone to visit the Norlington Boys School in Leyton to help with a French language lesson, receiving and answering questions in French, encouraging the pupils to converse and gain confidence.
Paul Hobbs, Deputy Head at the school commented, "It was great to have the Orient players visit and inspire the pupils once again. The children were so excited and there was a real buzz around the school. We have a great relationship with the football club and are always grateful for their continued support via the LOPASS (Leyton Orient Partnership of Associated Schools Scheme) whether it be arranging player visits or supplying tickets for the pupils to watch a match. There is a real sense of 'Leyton Orient' around the school now which is great to see".
And midfielder Atangana said: "It was a most enjoyable afternoon. The students were very friendly and asked good questions. I'm glad we could help with their studies".
And at the Score Centre in Leyton, striker Ollie Palmer spoke of his training and eating regimes and compared them to when he was younger and now as a professional footballer as part of the workshop programmes associated with the Coping Through Football project, a transformational mental health project that uses football to bring people together and re-encourage confidence and self-esteem.

Grants Overview
BMEF INFORMATION
Members of our community often ask questions about the Briarcliff Manor Education Foundation (BMEF). Here are the answers to those frequently asked questions.
What is the BMEF?
Incorporated in 1995, the BMEF is a non-profit, charitable organization that functions independently from, but works in cooperation with, the Briarcliff Manor School District. Through donations from you, we fund cutting-edge technology, innovative programs and curriculum that are beyond the scope of public school funding. Collectively, these resources give our students an advantage in an increasingly competitive and global world.
Would it make a difference if the BMEF didn't exist?
Yes, a significant difference! Some of the District's most popular and highly regarded programs, like the forensic science class at the high school and the outdoor classroom at the middle school, would not exist without the BMEF. We expect our school district to be a leader and our children to achieve educational excellence above the average. In these challenging financial times, this isn't accomplished through public school funding alone. The BMEF is a vital instrument of support.
How many grants have been awarded?
Through the 2011-2012 school year, we have funded 247 grants totalling nearly $700,000, enriching the educational experience of all students at all grade levels.
Who submits grant requests to the BMEF?
Most grant proposals come from our teachers and administrators; however, we also welcome requests from students and community members for resources that support the school district.
What grants have been funded by the BMEF?
The BMEF has funded grants in every academic area, including physical education and the performing arts; they are found in almost every classroom thoughout our district. Talk to your children about their educational experiences and you will hear enthusiastic descriptions of inventive programs funded by the BMEF. We fund programs, equipment, technology and experiences directly connected to curriculum that will enhance our children's education. For a more detailed description and pictures of our grants in action, please click here. Through the Teacher's Institute, the professional development arm of the Foundation, we also fund cutting-edge professional development opportunities that spark teacher innovation.
How can I justify donating money to the BMEF since I already pay taxes?
Even our substantial school taxes cannot support ALL of the innovative programs, technology and curriculum enhancements that our residents value. Most of the school budget goes toward fixed costs of personnel, facility and operations, with a small percentage left for educational materials and technology, programs and equipment. As costs rise, it is more difficult to include these important educational elements in the school budget. The BMEF funds resources the school district cannot afford. Your donations are crucial to continue our commitment to enhance your Briarcliff student's education.
Do other public schools have foundations?
Yes! Most high performing districts like ours do have foundations that support their school district. Some local districts with foundations include Bedford, Bronxville, Chappaqua, Dobbs Ferry, Harrison, Irvington, Katonah, Pelham and Pocantico.
What amount do most people give?
We have received individual donations from $10 to $10,000. Every donation is meaningful and put to good use.
Who decides how the money is spent?
We have a 30-member board comprised of community volunteers. The Superintendent of Schools and administrators offer input and insight to the grants committee. That feedback, along with detailed research and a rigorous evaluation of each grant, is presented to the full Board for a vote. As representatives of our community and our donors, the BMEF Board members take their responsibilities very seriously. Our careful, thoughtful and thorough consideration ensures that each grant is consistent with the BMEF mission and the goals of the school district.

The new headset was built for VR enthusiasts and enterprise users who want the best display and audio for their VR experiences.
This awesome ARKit app uses HTC Vive to bring mixed reality to iPad
by Christian Zibreg on July 14, 2017 — 1 comment
You've seen a bunch of augmented reality demos, but this example combines real-time input from HTC's Vive VR device with a Unity 3D app running on ARKit on an iPad Pro.
The new HTC 10 is the first Android smartphone with native support for Apple's AirPlay technology
by Christian Zibreg on April 12, 2016 — 35 comments
HTC's latest flagship smartphone, the 10, supports Apple's AirPlay right out of the box. Celebrating the tenth year since the Taiwanese handset maker's been making smartphones, the new HTC 10 was unveiled this morning and is the world's first Android device with built-in native support for Apple's wireless media streaming technology.
Owners of the new phone can swipe with three fingers up anywhere on the screen to bring up HTC's Connect overlay, which allows them to choose AirPlay as their streaming destination for photos, music and videos.
HTC's One A9 ad takes cues from Apple's famous '1984' commercial
by Christian Zibreg on November 5, 2015 — 33 comments
HTC and its latest One A9 flagship smartphone have been accused of copying the iPhone 6 design and its much criticized antenna bands on the back (HTC, needless to say, begs to differ).
But now, the ailing Taiwanese handset maker has taken things to the next level with a brand new advertising campaign that revolves around the tagline 'Be Different'.
In a 90-second commercial posted to HTC's YouTube channel, a young and hip runner is portrayed in a dystopian-like world where everything is white and clean, unified and supposedly Apple-like. To make it perfectly clear who the Big Brother is this time around, HTC's hero can be seen kicking a bunch of white apples, apparently to stand up to the Man and make a point.
HTC: Apple ripped off our unibody phone design and antenna bands, not the other way round
by Christian Zibreg on October 22, 2015 — 77 comments
Two days ago, HTC unveiled a new flagship phone, the $399 One A9, with most of the headlines calling the device an iPhone lookalike due to its two-tone design, the antenna bands and a protruding camera lens on the back. The device indeed bears a striking resemblance to Apple's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s smartphone series.
In an effort to set the record straight and maybe get a little more free press, the Taiwanese handset maker said that "it's Apple that copied" its antenna design and unibody construction as HTC first released a smartphone with these features about three years ago.
Check out One A9, HTC's $399 iPhone lookalike
Taiwan's embattled handset maker HTC today introduced a new phone, called One A9. The $399 Android Marshmallow device was "inspired by nature," as HTC puts it, but technology blogs were quick to point out its striking resemblance to Apple's iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s smartphone series.
The A9 One is just 0.1mm thicker than the iPhone 6s, which measures in at 7.1mm.
The One A9 fits a five-inch 1080p AMOLED edge-to-edge screen protected by Corning's 2.5D Gorilla Glass 4 inside an enclosure that falls somewhere between the 4.7-inch and 5.5-inch iPhone 6/6s.
Review: HTC One M9 from an iPhone user's perspective
by Jeff Benjamin on May 30, 2015 — 51 comments
The HTC One M9 is the latest flagship phone from HTC and it doesn't divert from what has made the HTC One line stand out among other releases from Android OEMs. If the all metal Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge didn't exist, then the HTC One would stand head and shoulders above the rest of the Android competition from a design standpoint. But even with Samsung's recent change in design taste, the HTC One M9 is one of the, if not the best looking Android smartphone that money can buy.
As a full time iPhone user, I feel like I have a unique perspective to lend to those of you who may be interested in the M9, or those of you who just want to know how other flagship phones are doing outside of the Apple ecosystem. In this post, I'll discuss 5 features that I love about the HTC One M9, and 5 features that aren't so hot. Be sure to tune in to our full video review as well.
HTC rap anthem takes ad wars to the next level, disses Apple and Samsung
by Christian Zibreg on February 3, 2015 — 27 comments
Somebody thought a rap music video about HTC would be a nice excuse to blast Samsung and Apple. In what could quite possibly mark the worst Apple ad attack ever, the cringeworthy hip hop anthem titled "Hold the Crown" sings praise to the HTC M8 handset while dissing competition.
"Your phone was all glass, why you changed your tune now?," hip hop artists Greg Carr aka "Doc G" of the musical group P.M. Dawn raps in the video.
"Your chip is slower, but you'll never touch our BoomSound," the lyrics continue. Accusing "more than a few clowns" who stole "what we originated", the music video goes on to proclaim HTC as the master of the universe and paint "your Galaxy" as "overrated".
Google roundup: Android Lollipop, Nexus 6 phone, Nexus 9 tablet and Nexus Play streamer
With less than 24 hours left until Apple's "It's been way too long" iPad and Mac media event, the Internet giant Google in a pre-emptive strike Wednesday officially unveiled the next major version of its mobile operating system, Android 5.0, along with the newest Nexus-branded hardware devices: a Motorola-made smartphone, a HTC-made tablet and an Asus-built game console and media streamer.
"A sweet new take on Android," Android Lollipop is actually the Android L software the search giant teased at its Google I/O conference back in the summer. Containing over 5,000 new APIs for developers, Lollipop has been designed to be flexible to support all screen sizes and devices while taking Android's customization to the next level.
HTC launches iPhone-compatible Wi-Fi camera and ultimate selfie phone with dual 13MP shooter
by Christian Zibreg on October 8, 2014 — 38 comments
Wednesday, Taiwanese handset maker HTC at its 'Double Exposure' media event in New York City unveiled an iPhone-compatible waterproof Wi-Fi camera and the Desire Eye, a brand new handset with a 5.2-inch full HD (1,920-by-1,080 pixels) screen and BoomSound dual front-facing stereo speakers.
More than anything, however, the Desire Eye is aimed at improving the quality of users' selfies by putting a powerful 13-megapixel sensor on both the front and back side.
That's right, you get dual-color LED flash and wide angle lenses on each side. As a bonus, the Android-driven device is water and dust proof.
New videos highlight iPhone 6's faster Wi-Fi and real-world multitasking performance
A pair of videos have surfaced this week offering a good look at real-world multitasking performance of the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus relative to competition, while demonstrating the speedy 802.11ac wireless networking Apple's implemented on both devices.
The results suggest that the new iPhones offer nearly three times faster Wi-Fi performance than the iPhone 5s while beating out Samsung's Galaxy S5 and HTC's One M8 handsets in app loading times and task switching.
Microsoft shows off HTC One M8 features in new Cortana vs. Siri ad
by Christian Zibreg on September 2, 2014 — 67 comments
Microsoft on Tuesday started airing a new Windows Phone commercial that takes another jab at Apple's Siri. The 30-second commercial titled 'Mirror, Mirror' has been posted on the official Windows Phone channel on YouTube this morning.
The video depicts Cortana, Microsoft's personal digital assistant for Windows Phone devices, performing a series of tasks that Siri on the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad can't do, starting with deeper integration with core Windows Phone apps like calendar and Maps.
One scene depicts Cortana tapping information stored in a user's calendar to provide accurate route and mapping information. Another scene highlights dual front-facing speakers on the HTC One M8, to which Siri responds that she has but a single speaker and that she's "sitting on it".

Q: Static view across pages There's been a few forum posts/SO posts about this, but they're a few years old and didn't provide any solutions, so here we go again.
I want to have a view, which is static across pages. I have a TabbedPage, and I want to show a bar just above the bottom tabs.
Currently I am using a ControlTemplate on my pages, which puts the bar at the bottom and shows content above it. But there's a few things I don't like about this solution:
*
*A new instance of the view is created for each tab. So for X amount of tabs, the view is instantiated and shown X times. This also means that whenever I change some of the data that's being shown from the view model, there are X times as many bindings to be updated.
*When changing tabs, the whole page swipes out of the screen, while the new one swipes in. That includes this bottom bar. I really just want it to stay in place across different navigation.
Another not-so-optimal solution I've seen someone suggest, is implementing my own tab view instead of a page, and each tab is a view instead of a page. There are a few reasons why this isn't feasible for me:
*
*Each tab is a navigation page which can have navigation. If going this way, I'd have to also remake navigation page as a view, and change the content.
*Xamarin Forms navigation can no longer be used.
*I'm using a library for transition animations when navigating between pages (not between tabs). It only works with actual navigation, which this solution completely removes from the app.
Can it really be true, that this case is not possible with Xamarin Forms? It's not that rare a use case. Basically any app that plays audio, will want to have a play-bar at the bottom to control current playback etc.
I guess this could be solved with a kind of view which can render a page. Then I could make my "master view" that show the TabbedPage below my static view.
Another (possibly more suited) way to go, could maybe be a custom TabbedPage, with an "OverlayView" property, which is somehow with custom renderer added above the tabs?
EDIT: Here's a photo of the view I want to be static across tabs. I hope it helps you to understand the outcome I'm trying to achieve.
A: I found a kind of workaround. Using https://github.com/rotorgames/Rg.Plugins.Popup - I can make my "now playing"-bar as a "popup". By setting BackgroundInputTransparent to true, I can show it on top of all other views. It's quite simple, actually.

Waze, which bills itself as the "world's largest community-based traffic and navigation app," has introduced three new features for Android and iOs. According to a report on The Verge, the first of these features is a mode that is particularly designed for motorcyclists, equipping them with the recommendations for the best route. These recommendations are based on information gathered from other motorcycle riders.
This can be particularly useful for other riders who could probably benefit more from information from others trying to navigate traffic with a motorcycle as opposed to a car. Estimated times of arrival can be a lot different for cars or other larger vehicles than they are for motorcycles. In addition, Waze's motorcycle mode adds routing information for narrow streets that you cannot get to in a car.
The update also includes "OK Waze," hands-free voice commands that allow you to ask for information or modify your destination without taking your hands off the wheel. For example, you can simply utter a command like "take me home" or "what's my next turn" without sacrificing the use of your hands.
The app also allows you to report traffic incidents or roadway hazards. Above all, the final addition, which Waze says is the first for a navigation app, is including carpool lanes as part of the app's routing system. This is being launched in 22 U.S. states including California. What's more, Waze users can rack up brownie points when they offer roadway or traffic information, and that means their standing in the Waze community rises.
As motorcycle accident lawyers, we understand how valuable – even life-saving – these types of informational nuggets can be to motorcyclists. When you are a rider, there are a number of hazards that drivers of cars or other passenger vehicles don't face. For example, when there is debris on the freeway, often times, car drivers are able to dodge it, even if it's at the last minute.
Also, a small chunk of debris might not affect a car. However, a motorcyclist might lose control of their vehicle if they strike debris. With the Waze app, it appears that they will be able to get information about debris and other roadway hazards ahead of time. This could help save a life or save someone from serious injuries. There is no denying that motorcyclists are much more vulnerable to roadway hazards.
It is also important to remember that motorcyclists use carpool lanes compared to other drivers. So, when they get real-time information about carpool lanes, that can be extremely valuable as well. Also, when motorcyclists get information from other riders like themselves, they can rely on its authenticity because the person who offered the tip knows precisely what an individual driving a motorcycle is going through out on the freeway or roadway.
We hope these enhancements to the Waze app provide motorcyclists with an additional sense of security and equip them with the data they need to stay safe as they ride. If you or a loved one has been injured in a motorcycle accident, please contact an experienced California motorcycle accident lawyer who can help safeguard your legal rights and help you secure the compensation you rightfully deserve.

How Far Into The Future Do Manchester United, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham And Liverpool Really Plan?
Posted: October 23, 2016 in Arsenal, Chelsea, European Football, Football, Manchester City, Manchester United, Opinion, Premier League
Tags: Antonio Conte, Argentina, Arsene Wenger, Atletico Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Bournemouth, Burnley, Daniel Levy, Diego Simeone, Inter Milan, Jose Mourinho, Jurgen Klopp, Lazio, Liverpool, Mauricio Pochettino, Pep Guardiola, Real Madrid, Roman Abramovich, Tottenham Hotspur
Manchester United appointed Jose Mourinho in the full knowledge that he rarely stays at any club for more than two years, whether the reason for departure is his choosing or not. He has since indicated that he would like to stay at Old Trafford for "many years".
Manchester City did the same with Pep Guardiola. Having spent five years in charge at Barcelona, (one of them with the B team), he developed his current wanderlust and spent a further two years in charge of Bayern Münich. The impression is that, if he is successful at City, then he may be talked into staying longer.
Chelsea have taken on a relatively unknown quantity, at least outside of his native Italy, and the jury remains out as to what the future holds for Antonio Conte. Again, it would appear that Roman Abramovich is another who is getting a little fed up with replacing his manager every couple of years and would like to put his feet up and watch the trophies stack up. Maybe Conte will get more time than most have at the Bridge!
This season could be the last as Arsenal manager for Arsene Wenger. Many fans hope this is the case and there would not be too many disappointed gooners were he to take the next step up the stairs to relative obscurity. The retirement would be even more welcome if it were followed by the arrival of Diego Simeone, who has shortened his contract with Atlético Madrid in order to leave in 2018. In the fantasy world of football there would not be massive compensation to pay if he were to be approached next year.
Another alternative, who appears to be favourite, is Eddie Howe. Having managed Bournemouth to two promotions to the Premier League he almost fits the bill. He is young, English and likes to play attractive football and would be considered a long term replacement were he to be appointed.
He is also, however, another unknown quantity in that he has never managed a big club and it remains to be seen how he would cope with the added pressures. He couldn't handle life in the frozen north during his short lived stint at Burnley!
Tottenham, in recent years, have also become a club who change manager regularly. Now, though, it is difficult to see how they could improve on what they have and the expectation is that Mauricio Pochettino will stay as long as his ambition is matched by that of Daniel Levy. If that ever changes then Pochettino will jump a long time before he is pushed.
Liverpool want consistency so they appointed a manager who, in his time at Borussia Dortmund, was mostly consistent. His last season in charge was a bit of a nightmare but there could be several reasons for that, not the least of which could have been that he knew he was leaving.
If Liverpool can extend their early season form to the remainder of the campaign, then Jürgen Klopp could be celebrating Champion's League football at Anfield next season.
So five of the six aforementioned clubs have appointed young managers with no particular history of staying anywhere for a long time but, if they can achieve a measure of success, could probably be persuaded to stay longer in their jobs. After all, if they were to leave any of the top six on England, where would they go?
Pep Guardiola left Bayern Munich so he could challenge himself in England.
Jose Mourinho wants to stay in England and is now at the biggest club.
Antonio Conte is more of an unknown quantity but the question remains, where to go if you want to better yourself?
Mauricio Pochettino seems to enjoy the Premier League although has expressed a desire to manage Real Madrid at some stage, so if he ever gets the offer he may very well depart.
Klopp seems to be settled in Liverpool and it's proximity to Manchester will allow him to enjoy life in the northwest. So, providing results are favourable, he is going nowhere soon.
The only question mark is against Arsenal, as usual. If they replace Wenger with Eddie Howe and he is successful then they have a manager for years to come.
If they were to turn to Diego Simeone it could be shorter term. He has already said that he wants to manage in Italy, preferably Inter and/or Lazio, and also the Argentine national team, so his long term plans don't seem to include the Premier League.
In answer to the original question, five of the top six clubs have gone for big name managers who they hope will provide a short and medium term fix. They will then be relying on any success achieved to keep their managers in place for the long haul.
Arsenal, at present, could go for short term or long term with the two possibles mentioned earlier. As with most things related to them, the Gunners themselves remain an unknown quantity!

(remote server down, blocked by another firewall, OpenVPN crash, etc.).
Our Windows 'widget' program includes a kill switch that uses the Windows Firewall.
since most of those people are generally experienced enough to write their own kill switch, we've never really had an official one for Linux.
There are already dozens of tutorials on the internet on how to write your own kill switch, but a lot of them are very inefficient.
Some of them block everything except port 1194 outgoing, which could cause leaks if any non-VPN traffic goes out on that port.
Also, most of them don't seem to do anything about DNS, STUN/WebRTC, or IPv6 leaks.
we thought we'd share a couple kill switch scripts for the most common scenarios.
This one is probably what most people want. It simply blocks all internet access that doesn't go through the VPN, excluding LAN IPs.
Download this script and save it somewhere, /usr/local/bin/killswitch_system_lan.sh for example.
Next, connect to the VPN like you normally would, either directly at the Terminal or via NetworkManager or whatever.
Once you're connected to the VPN, simply execute /usr/local/bin/killswitch_system_lan.sh to enable the kill switch.
Warning: If you tell your browser to use a proxy server running on another machine on your LAN, it will bypass the VPN and this kill switch.
All traffic will now be blocked unless it's going to the VPN IP associated with the current VPN session, or a LAN IP.
WebRTC/STUN binding requests are also blocked and IPv6 is disabled to prevent leaks through those.
All DNS will get redirected to 10.31.33.8, which is a dummy IP each VPN server has that points to the local DNS server.
In this killswitch script, change the DNSIP=10.31.33.8 line to DNSIP=10.31.33.7 if you want to use our ad/tracker blocking service.
This scenario will keep the kill switch running even if OpenVPN exits "cleanly", such as through CTRL+C or `killall -1 openvpn`.
So when you disconnect from the VPN, you'll need to disable the kill switch before you can reach anything again, excluding your LAN.
When you want to disable the kill switch, just execute /usr/local/bin/killswitch_system_lan.sh again.
This scenario is basically the same as the above, except LAN access is NOT allowed.
Download this script and save it somewhere, /usr/local/bin/killswitch_system_nolan.sh for example.
Once you're connected to the VPN, simply execute /usr/local/bin/killswitch_system_nolan.sh to enable the kill switch.
All traffic will now be blocked unless it's going to the VPN IP associated with the current VPN session.
In this script, change the DNSIP=10.31.33.8 line to DNSIP=10.31.33.7 if you want to use our ad/tracker blocking service.
So when you disconnect from the VPN, you'll need to disable the kill switch before you can reach anything again.
When you want to disable the kill switch, just execute /usr/local/bin/killswitch_system_nolan.sh again.
Unlike the previous two, this script isn't meant to be executed directly (unless you're turning off the killswitch), it should be called from OpenVPN's --up option.
Doing it this way saves you the trouble of enabling the kill switch every time you want to connect to the VPN.
Download this script and save it somewhere, /usr/local/bin/killswitch_system_lan_up.sh for example.
That will keep the kill switch running even if OpenVPN exits "cleanly", such as through CTRL+C, or `killall -1 openvpn`, or when you disconnect from Network Manager.
With that the kill switch will only stay active if OpenVPN exits in an "unclean" way, such as crashing or `killall -9 openvpn`.
Finally, connect to the VPN however you normally would, through the Terminal or Network Manager or whatever, making sure to use the config you just changed.
Once you're connected, all traffic will be blocked unless it's going to the VPN IP associated with the current VPN session, or a LAN IP.
All DNS will get redirected to the DNS IP provided by the VPN server.
If you're not using it as a --down script, when you disconnect from the VPN you'll need to disable the kill switch before you can reach anything again, outside of the LAN.
This script also isn't meant to be executed directly (unless you're turning off the killswitch), it should be called from OpenVPN's --up option.
Download this script and save it somewhere, /usr/local/bin/killswitch_system_nolan_up.sh for example.
Once you're connected, all traffic will be blocked unless it's going to the VPN IP associated with the current VPN session.
If you're not using it as a --down script, when you disconnect from the VPN you'll need to disable the kill switch before you can reach anything again.
This one will only apply the kill switch to a specific user.
Download this script and save it somewhere, /usr/local/bin/killswitch_user_lan.sh for example.
to the actual user you want to use the kill switch.
Only for the user you specified above, all traffic will be blocked unless it's going to the VPN IP associated with the current VPN session, or a LAN IP.
For other users, the VPN will operate normally. If it goes down, those other users will be able to reach the internet. The user you specified above will not be able to.
For all users, WebRTC/STUN binding requests are also blocked and IPv6 is disabled to prevent leaks through those.
All DNS for the specified user will get redirected to the DNS IP provided by the VPN server.
If you're not using it as a --down script, when you disconnect from the VPN you'll need to disable the kill switch before that user can reach anything again, outside of the LAN.
Download this script and save it somewhere, /usr/local/bin/killswitch_user_nolan.sh for example.
Only for the user you specified above, all traffic will be blocked unless it's going to the VPN IP associated with the current VPN session.
If you're not using it as a --down script, when you disconnect from the VPN you'll need to disable the kill switch before that user can reach anything again.

Sports Hypocrisy In Plain Sight
Kurt Busch has joined the list of professional athletes who have been penalized for the good of the whole. Similarly to Minnesota's Adrian Peterson and Baltimore's Ray Rice, Busch was suspended on the basis of abuse charges by his former girl friend. The Nascar organization stepped forward and said Busch's behavior was out of bounds and an indefinite suspension was in order. Hmmm.
This is the same Nascar that weekly features 200 mile per hour racing where kissing the leading cars rear bumper (and spinning it out of control) seems almost manufactured for fan entertainment. So whose behavior is more dangerous?
The answer most likely is "who cares". The Nascar organization's response is motivated to prevent the world of "PC speak" from disparaging the racing organization's image and in some way hurting TV revenues.
It's all about money. What say Adrian and Ray?
The NCAA has just as huge an hypocrisy coming towards center stage right now. In the world of "student athletes", the University of Kentucky's mens basketball team is a scandal waiting to happen. Kentucky has figured out a way to recruit a freshman championship quality team year after year. Kentucky is forced to recruit a new squad each year because their champion players all elect to go to the NBA following one year at Kentucky.
So what's the pending scandal?
Does anyone think that these student athletes attend any meaningful classes? How many of these students even complete their freshman year? And who cares?
The real scandal of pro-football, pro-racing, and the top level of amateur level NCAA is that they have found ways to generate huge earnings by providing the spectator a riveting and exciting sport products, and sometimes those ways are incompatible with either the world around them.
Spousal abuse is adherent to be sure, but there are laws and a criminal process to prosecute abusers. The NCAA is quick to punish even the slightest benefit that may go to an athlete, even those who come from the poorest of homes. While the NCAA is raking in dollars, it seems to have no problem looking the other way when Kentucky fields an entirely new crop of outstanding athletes each year.
Kentucky appears to makes no effort to guide these students on an academic path.
Sooner or later, the PC police will pounce upon this academically inconsistent behavior and make the University and its coach, John Caliper the villains. Unlike Rice, Peterson, and Busch, there is no criminal process to make judgement on Kentucky. There is only the court of business profits to weigh in on Kentucky's propriety.

Modern Languages and Cultures Department
Alumni Profile: Jenny Chott Hannibal
Placement Exams
Conducting training in French for surgeons in Madagascar was not on her radar screen when Jenny Chott Hannibal '96 decided to major in French and Mathematics. Neither were women in Malawi, Madagascar, and Mauritania who can't afford the surgeries they need.
Jenny Chott Hannibal came to Seattle University to major in Mathematics because it came easy to her.
Life-changing event #1: Hannibal decided to participate in the study abroad program in Grenoble led by French Professor Paul Milan. She became fast friends with her home stay French family, traveling with them to Morocco and gaining greater understanding of peoples and cultures.
"I was without my family and having to speak a foreign language day and night," she said. "Professor Milan's approach to educating us–when someone invites you to do something you've never done before, you should always say yes–was huge for me as a 20-year-old."
She added French as a major, and a work-study position at Seattle's Treehouse led to a permanent job with a private, local foundation supporting more than 200 organizations around the world. Hannibal soon found herself translating, planning events, and managing projects at home and abroad. Offered the opportunity to go to Mozambique to report back on a children's vaccine program, she had much more than a cross-cultural experience.
Life-changing event #2: "You can read about Africa in National Geographic, but when you witness the challenges of healthcare access, it's life-altering," she said recently from her home in Ann Arbor, MI. "The logistics of providing health care in the poorest parts of Africa and seeing the poverty there are almost beyond comprehension."
After returning to Seattle, Hannibal first volunteered for and then was hired by VillageReach, a global healthcare nonprofit focused on bringing "live-saving innovations to scale and sustainability" in rural and low-income areas around the world. She traveled to England for the invitation-only Skoll World Forum annual conference for nonprofits that address the world's most pressing problems. A chance meeting with a fellow delegate led to an online introduction to Seth Cochran, founder of Operation Fistula.
In many countries, poor women with no access to adequate health care develop fistula, a hole, caused by prolonged labor without medical attention. The result is incessant leaking of urine which cracks the skin, causes infections, and smells bad. Limiting fluid intake to lessen the leaking may result in severe dehydration and kidney failure. A woman with fistula is often ostracized by her community or abandoned by her husband and family. A fistula can be surgically repaired, but there are very few doctors who perform the surgery.
Life-changing event #3: Hired by Cochran, Hannibal soon found herself going to camp last July, not a traditional summer camp, but a camp in Madagascar where she trained 14 local surgeons on the nonprofit's funding and reporting methods for fistula repair. The surgeries, paid by Operation Fistula, are free for the women, who stay at the hospital or health center for 2 weeks after.
"When we talk health centers in these very poor areas, we are looking at buildings with no windows and no doors," she said. "I actually kicked a chicken out of a room once. They are doing the best they can with the resources they have, but this is charity reimagined. We helped 214 women in one month, and we support 14 local surgeons who continue to repair fistula and change lives."
Hannibal is back in Ann Arbor and, having completed a Master in Library Science, works part time developing library programs for middle school children while continuing to work for Operation Fistula. She keeps in touch with her Grenoble home stay family and Professor Milan.
"He taught me to open myself up to new experiences," she said. "These invitations– to meet some guy focused on fistula surgeries –these invitations just happened, and I learned to say yes."

UrtheCast ‐ Jul 01 2012 ‐ Articles
Startup Stages Flash Mob for Social Media Day
Close to 500 people participated in a flash mob in New York City's Hudson River Park for Social Media Day.
The performance was the brainchild of tech startup Urthecast, which aims to provide the first-ever HD streaming video of the Earth from space. Surprised tourists waiting in line for Hudson River cruises were taken aback as the participants, clad in orange, ran to the boardwalk and started dancing.
"They were all volunteers," said Jill Lennox, communications manager of the Urthecast, which helped organize the flash mob. "The Flash Mob of America coordinated it on Twitter and Meetup.com, and it spread by word of mouth."
During the 11-minute dance, the performers formed themselves into several symbols, including the "@" sign, a hashtag and a heart, among others. The complete performance, which will include aerial footage from Urthecast, will be posted on their website on Thursday. A similar performance was held in San Francisco last April.
"The core of our platform is all about social media," Lennox explained. "We're doing a different twist on flash mobs — something you can't fully see from the ground. That way, you can share it with friends and fully appreciate a different perspective.

Mikey Mayz drops brand new video for 'I Can't Help It'
What's Fresh 02/06/2017
Our boy Mikey Mayz has just dropped the cutest video ever for his latest single 'I Can't Help It', which is all about good-old fashioned love.
Inspired by the story of how Mikey's parents met, and written for his own partner, Haley Crooks (who sings the chorus - you go gal!) - 'I Can't Help It' is about letting your guard down when you find love.
"My parents met in Tonga. My dad was a radio officer for the British Navy. He was setting up a radio tower in a small village in Tongatapu. My mum was the only English-speaking translator. They fell in love," Mikey explains.
Once the tower was installed and the job was done, Mayz's dad left Tonga, leaving his mum behind. But he returned a few years later with his own charter yacht. "He picked up my mum, and they sailed into the sunset together. That was the same boat I was raised on until I was 18."
The story inspired not only the song, but also the vision for the video, which is filmed onboard a yacht in Auckland's glistening Waitemata Harbour.
"I wanted to take Haley out on a similar style yacht to the one I grew up on - sail, drink wine and watch the sunset," says Mayz.
We love this video and the song so much!

The Mayor's Office of Special Events today announced the schedule of free family programming offered by the City this year and outlined changes in events and festivals including a major change to the Independence Day fireworks event.
"Whether it's in good economic times, or bad, our mission is to do all we can to enhance the quality of life for every Chicagoan and the experience of visiting our city for our tourists and out of towners. But like every level of government, the bad economy has challenged us to do more with less and to even more efficiently manage our limited resources," said Megan McDonald, executive director of the Mayor's Office of Special Events.
This year will mark the 30th anniversary of the Taste of Chicago, the largest of the city's festivals and one that Chicago is identified with around the world.
The city made several enhancements to the Taste over the past couple years to add greater value to residents and visitors including a new festival footprint that makes it easier for visitors to move through the venue, and upscale gourmet area on the Buckingham Fountain table, lunchtime Loop trolleys during the week and a large menu of free programming.
* First, instead of holding one major Independence Day fireworks display in Grant Park on July 3rd, the City will be organizing three coordinated lakefront fireworks displays on July 4th so that residents can more easily enjoy them, closer to their homes. The fireworks display on July 4th will be a coordinated show that includes a central location at Navy Pier as well as a South lakefront location and a North lakefront location. It will begin at 9 p.m.
* Second, the Taste of Chicago will close at 6 p.m. on both July 3rd and July 4th (Taste of Chicago has always closed early on the final day.) However, the Taste will open everyday at 10 a.m.
"We recognize that there are many who enjoy the Independence Day holiday in their own communities with friends and family, so we decided this year to bring the fireworks to them.
This will result in a more cost efficient celebration and less congestion of people in one site for a more pleasant experience. Additionally, these savings will enable the Office of Special Events to feature name talent every day of the ten-day Taste of Chicago," added McDonald.
* The City will move three music festivals from Grant Park to Millennium Park. The previously announced moves are Celtic Fest Chicago, May 8-9; íViva! Chicago Latin Music Festival, September 18-19; and the Chicago Country Music Festival, October 9-10.
* Blues Fest and Jazz Fest will remain in Grant Park this year and their schedules will remain the same as they have been in the past.
* Other lakefront events including the Air and Water Show, Bike to Work Day Rally, Kids and Kites, and the Memorial Day parade will all continue this year and are free and open to the public.
* Due to the challenging economy this year, the City was forced to cancel Venetian Nights, the Chicago Criterium, the Outdoor Film Festival and Great Chicago Places and Spaces.
"We are pleased to roll out a very exciting calendar of events this year. We are proud of our events and festivals and proud of the fact that we remain on of the only major cities in the country to continue to offer free family programming for those who live, work and visit here," said McDonald.

QBR: The Black Book Review was founded by Max Rodriguez in 1992 to serve as a national source of reviews for books about the African-American and African experience.
QBR began as a quarterly print publication, reviewing books in all genres. It produces the annual Harlem Book Fair, which began in 1998. In 2005, QBR entered into a partnership with Black Issues Book Review, and at the same time, discontinued print publication of its quarterly. QBR continues to be published online monthly, with weekly updates.
QBR sponsors the Celebration of Black Writers in Philadelphia and the African-American Read In in Dallas. They published Sacred Fire: The QBR 100 Essential Black Books in 1999.

This project, which was largely undertaken in 2015 and 2016, initially comprised a desk-based qualitative assessment of about 360 Canmore records for which a direct association with the River Clyde could be demonstrated, identifying which records could be enhanced, and how, in a subsequent project. The desk-based phase of the project was followed by a programme of fieldwork (https://canmore.org.uk/project/1024867) which identified over 300 previously unrecorded sites along the river.
The Auchenshuggle Bridge carries the M74 over a 90m span of the River Clyde between junction 2 and 2a. It was built as part of the northern extension of the M74, completed in 2011. A single span bridge supported at each end by reinforced concrete supports, it is a dual-three lane motorway bridge, carrying both carriageways of the M74. Cleveland Bridge supplied and erected the 7 lines of curved steel box bridge girders, which had a combined weight of 1,840 tonnes and required Europe's largest mobile strut jib crane to lift in to place.

TEDLAR® PVF film: Impressive properties that protect substrates and act as release liners
Over fifty years ago, DU PONT developed an innovative polyvinyl fluoride film known as TEDLAR® PVF. With outstanding mechanical, electrical and chemical properties as well as extreme resistance to weather, TEDLAR® is the ideal protection and release material. These superior properties of TEDLAR® have been repeatedly confirmed over decades of proven field performance and laboratory tests.
TEDLAR® is a polyvinyl fluoride film. The fluoride in the film creates a stronger chemical bond than in normal polymers and this, in turn, results in a much stronger product. As a result, TEDLAR® is resistant to sunlight, solvents, acids, bases, moisture and oxidation.
TEDLAR® is stretched lengthways and crossways during the manufacturing process. This creates a molecular grid, which significantly improves the film's physical properties. It gives TEDLAR® enhanced abrasion resistance, lower moisture adsorption and enables it to be stretched by over 100 percent without tearing.
TEDLAR® contains no plasticizers. It is colour-fast and resistant to fading, chalking and mould. The non-adhesive, stain-resistant surface can be easily cleaned. Even the strongest cleaning agents do not damage the film.
TEDLAR® displays outstanding properties in temperatures ranging from -70°C to +110 ° C. It can also easily deal with short-term temperature peaks up to approximately 200 °C.
TEDLAR® can be securely and permanently bonded to substrates using special adhesives. The film expands and contracts along with the underlying substrate during temperature fluctuations.TEDLAR® is available in a wide range of variants, enabling it to be used in a broad scope of applications by designers.
TEDLAR® is extruded or cast by DU PONT under the strictest quality standards using a patented polymerisation process. Each batch is carefully checked prior to delivery to ensure it meets the technical specifications.
TEDLAR® PVF film is used as a laminating film, protection film and a release liner. Available in a broad colour palette and many different versions, TEDLAR® offers a huge amount of design flexibility.
TEDLAR® is available in special configurations with different compositions and surface types, making it the ideal film for protecting surfaces in a wide range of areas. For example: Cladding panels, roof elements, pipes, acoustic elements, wall panelling, air-supported structures, flexible tanks, solar collectors, photovoltaic cells, electronic signs, labels, street signs, and recycled PVC panels.
Release liner
Surface TEDLAR® has excellent mechanical and anti-stick properties and is almost inert in the presence of acids, bases and the majority of solvents. All of which makes it the ideal release liner for epoxy and phenolic resins and for polyester and rubber compounds. Unlike other release agents, TEDLAR® does not contain any plasticizers that could leach unintentionally into the substrate.
KREMPEL has been combining TEDLAR® with woven fabrics, films and non-woven fabrics to create special laminates for targeted applications for many years now. This includes backsheets for solar modules, window shades for aircraft as well as material for protective clothing.
TEDLAR® PVF film is a registered trademark of the Du Pont company. KREMPEL is an authorised TEDLAR® dealer.
KAPTON®: High-temperature polyimide (PI) films
KAPTON® polyimide films from Du Pont feature a unique combination of properties that cannot be found in any other polymer film materials.
KAPTON® can be used for short periods in temperatures ranging from -269 °C to +400 °C; it can withstand long-term exposure to temperatures up to +230 °C. *1)
KAPTON® has low flammability, is self-extinguishing and only starts to carbonise at 800 °C.
KAPTON® does not have a melting point.
KAPTON® has excellent chemical resistance; there are no known organic solvents for the film.
KAPTON® is extremely resistant to radiation.
KAPTON® is the only film to show resistance to corona discharge (with CR type)
*1) KAPTON® has been proven to function in applications with ambient temperatures of -269 °C to +400 °C, however, a full set of data about its behaviour under such extreme conditions is not available to date.
KAPTON® can be used in a vast range of technical and design applications. This is primarily due to its ability to retain its outstanding chemical, mechanical and electrical properties over a broad temperature range. KAPTON® polyimide film is particularly suited to applications with high operating temperatures and where other plastic films fail.
KAPTON® polyimide film is a registered trademark of the Du Pont company. KREMPEL is an authorised KAPTON® dealer.

Discussion in 'Stage Management and Facility Operations' started by macsound, Feb 8, 2019.
Roundabout question of technique I guess.
Working with a group of people on a church/ multi-use space retrofit.
I've taken a look at the plans and spoken with certain members who have given me their wishlist, but I'm having difficulty nailing down the executives on specifics.
For example - The stage has a large center flat wall and two angled walls on the SL + SR side. They have decided they want a single center projector. Great! So then the purpose of the two angled walls, are they to be decorated permanently, have interchangeable sets, do they want color wall wash and gobos or wall to wall projection for moving backgrounds or just leave it dark?
I run through all of these questions and don't ever nail on anything. I've reworked this to be money based. Here's how much projection would cost, vs wash lighting vs gobos and specials. Nothing. No creative conversation or decisions, just kind of hemming and hawing. Then with photos. They say all the photos look nice.
Another example - there's a large multi use area that so far doesn't have a clear purpose. I've presented an audio solution that's mostly about background audio and one wireless handheld. They've talked about using the space for standalone events, so I've increased the speakers for tighter coverage and higher volume. Still no clear cut purpose for the space, so I'm unsure if I should re-design the sound system to assume a stage area, or leave it as pendants as designed for background audio. Or make it two systems. One for background and one for events.
I've never worked with a group of people who didn't have a vision or even a direction and I'm not sure how many other ways to present information. And I'm getting to the point where all of my expenses and bills continue to get paid, but there have been additional donors and I'm not sure where we are with the budget anymore since so much has been added on their end and I'm unable to assign those expenses to my account numbers.
I mean you are getting paid. Just keep advising them on ideas til they land on some.
Don't bite the hand that feeds ya kinda thing.
Sounds to me like you need to spend some time and energy to help them figure out the overall purpose of the space, instead of focusing on equipment.
If they don't have an idea about what they will be using the multi use room for, there is no way they can know if what you are suggesting will work. Help them figure out what the program/ use of the space is. Then and only then can you start with equipment.
For these types of situations I usually find it easiest to have the customer envision the actual events they are going to do in the space and work backwards towards technical needs. This gives them a concrete idea of what you're asking. "How many microphones would you like to have?" might mean nothing so someone, but "If the youth group wanted wanted to start a band how many kids do you think would participate?" is something they can actually give you an answer about and allows you to give them some realistic packages and price points so they can access their priorities in terms they can easily understand.
For the stage what does a typical worship service look like? Do they want to project the words to the songs on the side walls? Is there ever a choir (children or adults) on stage during the service? Will youth groups and other events use this space? Are there extra bells and whistles that would like to have for Christmas and Easter services? Does the congregation celebrate have any other special services that might be different from the norm?
For the multi use space do they intend on participating in any of the religious sports leagues out there with this space? Would they like to be able to rent it out to local schools for things like dances and other off campus events? Will they need the ability to break up the larger room into smaller spaces for things like Sunday school and bible study groups? Will this space be needed as a nursery during worship? Are there any other groups they might consider using this space (singles mass, band practice, mission trips, social events, ....)?
ChrisB_SanDiego, Butch!, JimOC_1 and 1 other person like this.
Or (riffing off @porkchop) if it's a retrofit, could an entry be: "What were the weaknesses in the old space that led you to do a retrofit? What did you want the space to do that it couldn't do? Do you have any specific examples of events / productions that you had trouble facilitating because of technical deficiencies? What would you have liked to be able to do at the time?" It won't give you the full picture, but it might be a nudge in the proper direction.
ChrisB_SanDiego, RonHebbard and Butch! like this.
I've spec'd rigs for quite a few HoWs. Since I find that staff members normally have a "gut feeling" of what they want, but no particular technical leaning, I usually spec three or four different showspaces. Each space sequentially gets "bigger" and likely more expensive as well, in addition to adding features and flexibility. For each of those concepts, I try to include pictures or video of other HoWs who have done similar things. The big thing I've noticed in my experience is that church staff get nervous when told what their rig CAN'T do. So, interestingly, I've discovered that saying what each of those different showspaces CAN'T do usually convinces them to choose one of the others. For example, one showspace may be projection or screen heavy while the other is lighting heavy. When I show projection limitations that restrict seating arrangements in other churches, the staff normally go "OHHHH, yeah, not that," which guides them towards one of the other designs. Or maybe I'll show them empty front rows in churches with big flown lighting rigs, since no one wants to be blinded by the big looks, and they convince themselves to be a bit more realistic in that regard (or buy sunglasses for the front row).
Hope that wasn't too wordy!
No matter what they eventually agree on, such an indecisive and unfocused group will change their mind upon seeing something in real life, and again 6 months later. Most of the HOW people I've worked with have no idea of what the choices will mean in the long run.

Telefónica demos cybersecurity solution for 5G connected cars
Written by Nick Wood
The rise of C-V2X represents a potentially huge opportunity for hackers and cybercriminals to cause untold mayhem on the road, but Telefónica hopes to head this problem off at the pass.
The Spanish incumbent late last week showed off a 5G-enabled car that exchanges encrypted certificates with other connected vehicles and street furniture – like traffic lights and so-on – to guarantee the integrity of the information being sent and received. It is a similar system to a website using a digital certificate to prove it is the real thing, and not a spoof version designed to steal all your personal data.
ABI Research predicts that there will be 41 million 5G connected cars on the road by 2030, rising to 83 million by 2035. As proportions go, that's a drop in the ocean given there are north of a billion vehicles on the road, but that proportion will increase, and therefore avoiding nasty teething issues and high-profile cyber attacks will be critical to C-V2X's viability.
Telefónica has lined up a comprehensive array of partners for its initiative. They include car inspection agency DEKRA, the Automotive Technology Centre of Galicia (CTAG), identity management firm Nexus, HPE, and Samsung-owned audio company Harman. As for the specific bits of Telefónica that are working on this project, these are Telefónica Tech and Telefónica España-Digital Security.
"It's essential for the different elements of mobility, vehicles, traffic lights and tunnels to be connected to 5G networks so that they can work collaboratively, exchanging information and warnings to increase road safety and, consequently, reduce accident rates," explained Telefónica. "As the quality of this information becomes critical, this use case adds security certificates to the communications that ensure the authenticity and integrity of the messages that are exchanged to prevent unlawful data that could pose a risk to people's integrity."
Indeed, it's an important issue because the use cases being touted for C-V2X include various autonomous driving functions, like emergency breaking assistance, and help with navigating complicated road junctions. In scenarios like these, it is vital that communications aren't intercepted and tampered with, or it could have fatal consequences. Exchanging digital certificates that authenticate the data received by a connected car is one way to mitigate this risk.
Telefónica and its partners developed three uses cases for its demonstration, which took place on a DEKRA test track in Malaga. In the first scenario, vehicles were automatically warned when a car up ahead slammed on its brakes, helping to avoid accidents and keep traffic moving at a steady pace. The second use case involved a vehicle stopped by the side of the road alerting other vehicles of its situation. The third scenario showed that sending information about whether traffic lights are on red or green to a connected car can help that car optimise its route.
"Real-time critical communications take place in all of them and these are supported by the immediacy of the 5G network response and secured by Telefónica's digital cybersecurity certificates," Telefónica said.
Telefónica said its certification solution has been given the thumbs up by the European Commission, and complies with its cooperative intelligent transport system (C-ITS) standards.
"It's a cross-cutting, effective and reliable solution that's certified in Europe and with international interoperability," said Mercedes Fernández, innovation manager at Telefónica España. "Telefónica will thus seek to contribute to the technological and economic development of the car sector, in such a way that vehicle and vehicular communication equipment manufacturers, city councils and infrastructure managers can safely advance in the development of the connected car."
In the same announcement, Telefónica Tech said it is also seeing how its blockchain-based TrustOS platform can be used to manage the ownership and traceability of vehicles. It came out the same day that Vodafone announced it has won a deal to supply GPS trackers to Volvo, enabling owners to locate their vehicle and trace it in the event it gets stolen.

SHAREit is arguably the most popular file sharing app on the market today.
The convenience it brings with lightning fast file transfer has resulted in over a billion downloads on supported devices.
This article will introduce you to the SHAREit app. We have also provided the link to download the official app for your device.
We will also shed light on how to use SHAREit for PC.
SHAREit is a file sharing app developed by Lenovo. It can complete file transfers between devices in minutes — irrespective of the file size.
The speed of the program is such that it allows you to share a full movie within a matter of a few seconds!
It doesn't make use of cellular data, nor Bluetooth connectivity. Instead, it relies on high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity to transfer files between devices.
To give you a comparative picture, sharing files with SHAREit is 200 times faster than the speed of Bluetooth.
It is a truly cross-platform compatible application with support for Windows, iOS, Android, and Mac OS X operating systems.
You need a Wi-Fi enabled device to take advantage of this amazing file transfer utility.
At present, SHAREit is being used by a whopping 1.5 billion global users from over 200 countries. There are several reasons behind such an insane demand.
Lightning Fast Speed: As already mentioned, file transfers using SHAREit are lightning fast. The days of relying on data cables and Bluetooth for sharing files are over.
SHAREit makes use of high-speed Wi-Fi connectivity to transfer huge files at a speed of nearly 20 mb/s.
No Cellular Network Required: Since SHAREit utilizes Wi-Fi connectivity, there is no question of consuming your mobile data. It works even in the complete absence of a cellular network.
No Third-Party Involvement: SHAREit doesn't use any cloud service for storing the data being transferred. It originates from one device and gets stored on another, without any third-party involvement. In other words, your data always remains in your safe custody.
Multiple User Support: SHAREit supports file sharing for groups of up to 5 users simultaneously. You can instantly send a photo album, music library, or video playlist to 5 devices at the same time within seconds.
Cross-Device Support: No matter if you are using a Windows PC, Apple MacBook, Android smartphone, Apple iPhone, or Windows mobile, you can use SHAREit without any issues. Cross-platform compatibility is a hallmark of this amazing app.
How Do I Download SHAREit for PC?
Android users can download the official SHAREit app from Google Play Store. It is always featured under the "Top Downloads" section, making it easy to locate the utility.
If you are using an Apple iPhone or MacBook computer, you can find the official app in the iTunes repository.
An official version of SHAREit is also available for Windows 10 PC and Windows 8 mobile users. You'll need to visit the Microsoft Store to download the app on your Windows device.
Are There Any System Requirements to Use SHAREit for PC?
The only prerequisite to use SHAREit for PC is Wi-Fi connectivity. If your desktop/laptop computer is Wi-Fi enabled, you can download and install this app without any issues.
The other point to keep in mind is version compatibility. SHAREit for PC supports only Windows 10 operating system version 10586.0 or higher.
Similarly, MacBook users must be using OS X 10.10 or later with a 64-bit processor architecture to install the app.
What If My PC Doesn't Have a Supported OS?
If you are using Windows 7/8 or a non-supported version of Windows 10, then SHAREit won't run correctly on your PC. The same holds true for MacBook users with OS X 10.9 or below.
Don't worry, you can still use SHAREit for PC on a non-supported version of Windows / Mac OS X. All that is required from your end is an Android emulator program.
An Android emulator can be used to run Android apps on non-supported operating systems. It resides within a host operating system as a virtual device to run Android-specific apps.
Follow the steps given below to download SHAREit on computers powered by a non-supported operating system (such as Windows 7/8).
Go to https://www.bluestacks.com/download.html to download the BlueStacks Android emulator.
Go to your "Downloads" folder. Double-click to run the executable file. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the BlueStacks installation.
Reboot your computer. Launch BlueStacks and log in using your Google credentials.
Navigate to Dashboard >> All Apps >> Browser.
Type "https://play.google.com" in the browser address bar and press the Enter It will take you to Google Play Store.
Search for the SHAREit app and install it on BlueStacks as you would normally do on an Android smartphone.
That's all that is required from your end. With this, you have successfully installed SHAREit on your non-supported Windows / MacBook computer.
You can now launch SHAREit from within the BlueStacks console to transfer files between devices.
This article has guided you through the process of installing SHAREit on your desktop/laptop computer.
We have also included links to the official download pages for Android, iOS, Mac OS X, and Windows PC users.
Even if your PC doesn't come with a supported operating system, don't panic. We have provided you the necessary tweaks to install SHAREit for PC on non-supported platforms.
We hope the guide helps you to successfully install SHAREit on your computer.
If the article was helpful to you, then don't forget to share it among your friends and followers.

Los Cuartetos vieneses, K. 168-173, son una serie de seis cuartetos de cuerda escritos por Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart a finales de 1773 en Viena, de ahí el sobrenombre de los mismos.
Estos cuartetos representan un avance considerable con respecto a los Cuartetos milaneses, escritos menos de un año antes. Todos constan de cuatro movimientos, que incluyen minuetos y trios. En ellos, se aprecia la influencia de los recientemente publicados cuartetos de Joseph Haydn (Op. 9, 17 y 20) e incorporaron muchos de sus elementos.
Los seis cuartetos
Cuarteto de cuerda n.º 8 en fa mayor, KV 168 (1773).
Cuarteto de cuerda n.º 9 en la mayor, KV 169 (1773).
Cuarteto de cuerda n.º 10 en do mayor, KV 170 (1773).
Cuarteto de cuerda n.º 11 en mi bemol mayor, KV 171 (1773).
Cuarteto de cuerda n.º 12 en si bemol mayor, KV 172 (1773).
Cuarteto de cuerda n.º 13 en re mayor, KV 173 (1773).

Students Split on President Trump
Like many Americans, students have conflicting opinions on President Donald Trump.
Garrett Haskins, Writer
Most college students are too busy doing assignments or having fun to take notice of politics. Political events aren't known to be aimed toward younger audiences, but with the growing role social media plays in the spread of news and information politics are becoming unavoidable. The President of the United States, Donald Trump, uses social media as one of his main forms of communicating his new policies.
Social media has gotten younger members of society involved in politics. Politics, especially national politics, are broadcast everywhere imaginable. Younger people are beginning to become involved in politics.
Many younger individuals are forming more informed opinions on politics, especially the president, and many of them are vocal on their opinions. Many students here at Averett are vocal of their opinion of the president and the policies that he and his colleagues propose.
Much of the news that younger people get is through various forms of social media. Freshman Shay Brumbles and Sophomore Christopher Updegraff get their news from multiple forms of social media.
"All of the news that I see is on social media," Brumbles said.
"I get my news from people like Steven Crowder, Ben Shapiro, and PragerU," Updegraff said.
Many of the president's positions on policy are controversial. His plans for a physical barrier on the Southern border of the United States have been met with skepticism and criticism from his political opponents and with support from his political following and his colleagues in Washington, DC.
The president's approval among younger individuals is not favorable. Many younger Americans are opposed to his policies.
Many students at Averett do not have favorable opinions of the president. Brumbles thinks that President Trump is not doing well in office.
"I think that he is doing terrible with his plans to build the wall," Brumbles said. "I don't see the point of the wall. Why not build a wall on the border with Canada as well?"
Not all students here at Averett share the same opinion with her. Updegraff thinks that President Trump has had a successful time in office.
"He [Trump] is taking steps to put the United States in the right direction," Updegraff said. "He has pulled us from the Paris Agreement, which I think is a step in the right direction."
Many individuals share their political beliefs with their immediate family and friends. There is an increasing amount of people that don't share their political views with their immediate family. That is not the case for Brumbles and Updegraff.
"I have the same views as my Mom and Dad," Brumbles said .
"My Dad, Aunt, Uncle and me all have the same opinions on stuff," Updegraff said .
President Trump's statements and policies are very divisive. There is very little middle ground on the issues surrounding his presidency. Doctor Joshua Sperber, a professor of history and political science at Averett, provided some insight on this.
"Trump has deliberately projected an antagonistic posture, so regardless of some policy similarities between his and previous administrations, it is not surprising that he has been divisive. His 'Make America Great Again' slogan may be inspiring to some, but it brings up the question of whose perspective Trump is adopting. For instance, US history has frequently not been great for Native Americans, African Americans, women and others," Sperber said.
The divisiveness of current politics is known and acknowledged by both sides. With all of the conflict surrounding Trump and his policies, Updegraff has a message of encouragement for the president.
"If I could say anything to Trump, I would tell him to continue to build the wall no matter what his opponents say or do."
Garrett is a sophomore majoring in communication studies/journalism. His dream job is to work for a national newspaper or magazine. Outside of class, he...

Earlier this week, Austrade hosted a webinar that focussed on providing information to businesses about how to discover new markets and opportunities through 'Doing business in the Middle East'. Miles Morgan was one of three businesses invited to speak about their experiences of doing business in the Middle East, joined by speakers from Austrade.
Miles Morgan worked in conjunction with the Saudi Arabian Government in the creation and implementation of the Kingdom's first national quality framework for career education and development for a number of years.
Barbara provided valuable insights into the Saudi culture and aspects of every day working life. She emphasised the importance of understanding and observing cultural traditions as being crucial for successful business interactions in the Middle East.
met some of the warmest, loveliest people you'll ever meet – anywhere.
Key take away points for those wanting to do business in the Middle East – in the first instance, contact Austrade and Efic. They can provide invaluable advice about cultural aspects – in particular for practical social requirements, organising introductions, Export Development grants and performance bonds. Most of all, be open to the experience of working with a different culture: not only will your business grow, there are great opportunities for personal growth too.

I've just started reading Wrapped by Jennifer Bradbury and thus far in, I really do like Agnes (our lovely main character). Her mother admonishes her for reading so often and she's well spoken. Did I mention that she knows an array of languages? As I said, I've only just begun reading Wrapped and thus I can't say much more about her as a character, only that I've enjoyed her immensely this far in!
Me either... My mom and sis read, but not the same genre as me. I do manage to get them to read some of my books from time to time though!
I am fortunate I have a best friend and niece that I can have long discussions with, my best friend doesn't care for same genres as me but my niece is the one that got me hooked on what I read now.
Hopping through. I don't really have good book friends either. My friends are also casual readers.
Come check out my FF!
I dont have a book buddy INL. Thankfully we have the internet!
I'm pretty much in the same boat as you. Nobody reads as much as me. I guess it's good we book bloggers have each other! Old follower just stopping by. Happy Friday!
I can talk books with my Dad but he tends to stick to one genre. Otherwise I'm on my own IRL. Have a great weekend.
I have a few people that I talk about books with in real life but the blogging community is great because there is just so much variety, I have found so many new books to read!
I don't really have many people to talk books with either. That's why I recently started up my blog. I love that the book blogging community comments and talks so much. It's been really nice!
Yeah, so I'm totally on my Dad's computer at my parent's house, so it says Kelly! LOL. OOps! I have to figure out how to sign him out and sign in under my name. Sorry!
My closest book friends are friends I met online.
I am just hopping by from the Book Blogger Hop!! I want to read Wrapped; it is on my TBR list. I am looking forward to reading it... I hope you have a great weekend!!
Just stopping by via the hop! I am your newest follower :) Nice to meet you!

Many travellers include the Catlins experience after visiting Fiordland and Milford Sound.
They make an excellent inclusion in the loop back to Christchurch.
The Catlins, are an easy day's drive from Te Anau, Invercargill, Queenstown or Wanaka. Just follow the Southern Scenic Route signs down State Highway 99 to State Highway 92 at Invercargill.
Alternatively, when travelling from Dunedin, the Catlins, are an easy drive down Highway 1, to State Highway 92 at Balclutha.
There are many wonderful stops along the way. The Nuggets, are a must see at Kaka Point, well worth the signposted loop road detour at Telford Agriculture School.
We are located in the geographical centre of the Catlins Coastal Rainforest Park. This remote part of the Catlins is known as " Chaslands" and was the last place in New Zealand to receive electricity from the national grid in the 1960's. So we are literally in the Hidden Valley of the Catlins. The camp is strategically located on the recently tarsealed and upgraded Southern Scenic Route, so driving is a snap. Our farm and campground is at the entrance to the McLean Falls (considered by many to be the most spectacular in the Catlins) and a short 600 meters to the entrance of the tidal dependent Cathedral Caves..

For the past four years, we have been told by the administration of George Bush and by the official 9/11 Commission report of Chairman Thomas Kean and Executive Director Philip Zelikow that Egyptian extremist Mohammed Atta was the key player in the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks. Atta, according to the Kean report, was the "tactical leader of the 9/11 plot". He was the pilot who on that dreadful morning flew the first plane, American Airlines 11, into the North Tower of the World Trade Center in New York. It was Atta's face, on television and in newspapers across the world, that became the symbol of Islamic terrorism. And it was Atta's name – not the names of any of the 18 other hijackers allegedly lead by Atta on that day – that was cited by international security researchers. Atta was, as the Kean report stresses, "the tactical commander of the operation in the United States". According to both the Bush administration and the official 9/11 Commission report, he was working on the orders of Osama Bin Laden who, from remote Afghanistan, controlled the entire operation.
Now, almost exactly four years after 9/11, the facts appear to have been turned upside down. We now learn that Atta was also connected to a top secret operation of the Pentagon's Special Operations Command (SOCOM) in the US. According to Army reserve Lieutenant-Colonel Anthony Shaffer, a top secret Pentagon project code-named Able Danger had identified Atta and three other 9/11 hijackers as members of an al-Qaida cell more than a year before the attacks.
Able Danger was an 18-month highly classified operation tasked, according to Shaffer, with "developing targeting information for al-Qaida on a global scale", and used data-mining techniques to look for "patterns, associations, and linkages". He said he himself had first encountered the names of the four hijackers in mid-2000.
Schaffer himself was fully aware of the delicacy of his revelations. As such, he chose to first speak to US lawmaker and Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert (Republican, Illinois) and House Intelligence Committee Chairman Peter Hoekstra (Republican, Michigan). Schaffer said the two had assured him that exposing the secret "was the right thing to do". "I was given assurances we would not suffer any adverse consequences for bringing this to the attention of the public," he said.
Schaffer's decision to expose Operation Able Danger has given rise to some difficult questions, not the least of which concerns the role of Atta in the top secret operation. It also raises the question of whether anyone in the Pentagon knew in advance what Atta was planning on 9/11.
When the "official" facts are turned upside down, we need to go back to the sources and ask: What do we really know about 9/11? Our most important source, Atta himself, is dead. So for now, there is only Schaffer, a 42-year-old native of Kansas City, who worked for the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) in Washington at the time of the 9/11 attacks and had insights into the Pentagon's top secret operation. According to Schaffer, when he informed the FBI and urged them to arrest Atta, the Pentagon's lawyers intervened and protected Atta for reasons that remain unclear.
The official 9/11 Commission report, which according to its own declaration aimed "to provide the fullest possible account of the events surrounding 9/11" in its 567-page report, fails to mention Operation Able Danger or any other US-based SOCOM operations. On the contrary, in its recommendations as to how the US could be better protected from "terrorists" in the future, the Kean report on page 415 suggests that SOCOM be given larger powers to carry out covert action operations, previously a domain controlled by the CIA.
The Kean commission also recommended better oversight in order "to combat the secrecy and complexity". Yet, at the same time, we learn from Schaffer that the Kean commission did not provide the full story on 9/11, and specifically on Able Danger. Schaffer, according to his own testimony, had personally informed Zelikow about Able Danger. Yet Zelikow covered up this piece of the puzzle and, to Schaffer's frustration and disbelief, decided not to include this data on the pretext that it was "not historically relevant".
If it is true that Zelikow declined to include the information on Able Danger in the Kean report, and if it is true, as Zelikow wrote, that Atta was the "tactical leader of the 9/11 plot", and if it is furthermore true, as Schaffer publicly explained, that SOCOM protected Atta prior to his deadly attack on the US, which claimed 3,000 lives, then the account as provided by the official 9/11 report is discredited, and we are faced with a sea of lies and cover-ups.

I've been reading so many professional books about literacy this summer that I was very excited to learn about a MATH book study!! Meg at The Teacher Studio is doing an August book study on Building Mathematical Comprehension: Using Literacy Strategies to Make Meaning by : Laney Sammons.. How perfect to incorporate literacy strategies to help students UNDERSTAND math!! Click here to read Meg's concise yet thorough summary of Chapters 1-3.
Chapter 2 focuses on recognizing and understanding mathematical vocabulary. Since math has such a specialized vocabulary that is not used in most students' daily language, we need to find ways to engage students and provide opportunities to describe mathematical thoughts, observations, and reasoning. My students LOVE to use geobands to describe geometrical shapes and to verbally prove their attributes.
Another way to use vocabulary to demonstrate understanding is writing regularly in math journals. After lots of oral discussion and modeling (love the document camera for this!!), students are encouraged to explain their strategies.
We celebrate "bloopers," or mistakes that help lead us to the answer. I encourage students to NOT erase, but SHOW their thinking process. As a weekly homework assignment, my students use Math at Home, a monthly problem solving booklet. They choose one problem per week to solve. They must explain their thinking strategy and steps in pictures, words, and numbers. Although initially difficult, students become proficient in using mathematical vocabulary in their writing! Check out my 4th Grade Math at Home booklets here!
We know the importance of students bringing their own experiences and understandings to the classroom. Chapter 3 focuses on Making Mathematical Connections; experience = schema. To get to know my fourth grade students better, we discuss ourselves as mathematicians and brainstorm topics in math. Next, they write about themselves: one paragraph about their attitude towards math, one paragraph about what they are a good at in math and one paragraph about what they still want to improve in math. Younger students fill out a survey, Myself as a Mathematician. This lets me understand their background and attitudes about math. They also fill out a survey at the end of the year to see their growth. Download your copy of both surveys here.
I also want to know what my students know about concepts before I formally teach. Placemat Consensus is a very effective pre-assessment. In groups, students draw a large (empty) circle in the center of a large piece of butcher paper and then mark a section off so they each have a "placemat" in front of them. Set the timer for 10 minutes and students independently write and draw everything they know about a concept. Next, students share their placemat to the rest of their group members. If everyone in the group agrees with their ideas (comes to consensus), a recorder adds it to the middle of the circle. Lastly, each group presents their findings to the class. This is a terrific way to assess their content vocabulary and understandings.
I can't wait to continue reading Chapters 4-6 for next week! I hope you'll join me! How do you foster mathematical language and vocabulary with your students? Please comment; I love to read all your ideas!
Great post....I am moving to a school using CGI/UCLA Lab School and Cognitive Guided Instruction is big there. From my training I see A LOT of what this book is discussing and you explaining that I am excited and I have now marked it for future reference.
Thank you for the link to the other blog where she discusses CH1-3.
Really enjoyed reading the post.

Cotton & Rutledge Op-Ed: Return of Federal Death Penalty Is 'Justice Served' for Victims
News | Politics | State & National
Arkansas Democrat Gazette
By: Senator Tom Cotton (R-Arkansas) and Attorney General Leslie Rutledge
This summer, President Trump and Attorney General Bill Barr resumed the federal death penalty for five brutal murderers, including a white supremacist who murdered a family of three right here in Arkansas.
The federal death penalty has been in a de facto moratorium since 2003. Attorney General Barr's announcement will end this misguided moratorium and align the federal capital-crimes process more closely with the policy of our state and many others.
Though we understand some Arkansans have principled objections to the death penalty, we believe the ultimate punishment is warranted for the most heinous murderers. Capital punishment can help bring closure for victims' families, deter other would-be murderers, and express the moral outrage of our society for the most atrocious crimes.
Consider the case of Daniel Lewis Lee, one of the five convicted murderers whose execution will now proceed. Lee belonged to a white-supremacist group called the Aryan People's Revolution. According to court filings, "the group believed that whites were the chosen race, [and] that Jews were the devil's children and should die."
After a crime spree, Lee and a companion robbed the home of William Mueller in northern Pope County. It was early January 1996, just a few weeks after Christmas. When Mueller returned home with his young wife and their 8-year-old daughter, Lee and his companion overpowered them. But it wasn't enough to take their loot and leave.
They duct-taped the family's hands and tortured them, repeatedly shocking them with stun guns until they passed out. Then they duct-taped their heads in plastic garbage bags, suffocating them to death. After murdering the Mueller family in cold blood, they tied rocks to their corpses and dumped them in a bayou. Lee later joked that he had put the Muellers "on a liquid diet."
For such a barbaric crime, simple justice demands that Daniel Lewis Lee and murderers like him face the ultimate punishment, which truly fits the crime. Further, the death penalty in this case warns criminals to stop short of murder, lest they face execution. The death penalty also ends a horrific and prolonged period of pain and justice delayed for a victim's loved ones–in a case where Lee doesn't even deny his guilt.
In 1999, 12-year-old Andi Brewer–a beautiful and joyful young girl–was raped and murdered by Karl Roberts of Polk County. Roberts confessed to the crime. Even his attorneys don't claim that he's innocent. Yet 20 years later, Andi's family is still waiting for justice. Her mother, state Rep. Rebecca Petty, was shocked to learn that Roberts was even selling prison art from death row while his case dragged on. Resuming federal executions will relieve at least a few families of the pain that Representative Petty has endured for years.
A decent society must respond decisively to crime in order to preserve law and order. For the most severe crimes, where innocent life has been stolen, even life in prison can be an inadequate punishment. As we know from too many cases, prisoners can escape (or get parole), murder prison guards, or enjoy from behind bars some of life's pleasures that their innocent victims will never enjoy again.
The decision to reinstate the federal death penalty will ensure that justice is served in five terrible, bloody cases. It will reassure law-abiding citizens that our government has the will to protect them from violence. And it will remind criminals that justice may be delayed, even for years, but it cannot be avoided.
That's why we welcome the decision by the president and Attorney General Barr.

The Explosive Growth of Food Halls
Defining Food Halls
Many people might think a food hall is just a new name for the ubiquitous and outdated mall food court, but that would be incorrect. Food halls are more akin to when Fast Casual appeared as an upgrade to traditional QSR. So what is a food hall? A food hall is a collection of operators/concepts sharing a common space, typically focused on local, regional and/or authentic offerings. These establishments generally have a full bar area as well.
Image source: 10Best.com
According to Cushman & Wakefield, when they began tracking the number of food halls in 2016 there were roughly 120. That number is expected to nearly quadruple by 2020 with an expected 450 food halls operational in the US. It seems that a new food hall is opening every few months in Chicago, with at least four openings in 2019 alone.
What's Driving Growth?
Food halls allow chefs and aspiring restaurateurs to test a concept or expand their reach with low startup and overhead costs, as they're only responsible for food and beverage costs and back of house staff. The food hall operator – which may be a restaurant group, media company or foodservice management firm – is responsible for the marketing and PR, front of house staff and dining area needs, like tables, décor and glassware. Food halls are often bustling during lunch and dinner, especially in urban areas. Another benefit of this type of establishment is the opportunity to cater or serve food during private events in these unique spaces.
Noteable Food Halls
Time Out Markets: Time Out Media Group's markets are open in Lisbon, Miami, Boston and New York City. Locations in Chicago and Montreal are slated to open this year, and in several more cities globally by 2022.
Image source: lonelyplanet.com
Revival Food Hall: Revival is one of many food halls available to Chicago diners. It is operated by a multi-concept restaurant operator and features a mix of well-known Chicago operators outside its restaurant group, like Aloha Poke and Farmers Fridge.
Image source: chicagoeater.com
Politan Row: Politan Row is one of Chicago's newest food halls, located in the west loop. Operators are local business owners recruited by the hall to open a stall, which shows the curation of local offerings for these spaces. Politan Row is part of Politan Group's growing food hall operation, with units in New Orleans (St. Roch Market, Auction House Market), Miami and Chicago; Houston is slated to open this fall.

Foodservice IP's Take
As food halls continue expanding in urban centers at such a rapid pace, the question will be if suburban consumers will share in the excitement. In addition, with the softening economy expected, multiple venues under a single roof an appeal to shared business costs and a one-stop destination for broad, hip and local fare.

In June of 2009, the Executive Director of the American Library Association (ALA) reached out to the library community asking them to get involved in a national volunteer initiative called the "Summer of Service" that would run from June 22 to September 11, 2009. ProQuest responded by initiating the Library Volunteer Program, which organized volunteer efforts to support Washtenaw County libraries and community groups. Thirty-six volunteers stepped up to help – logging more than 200 hours of service. ProQuest will celebrate the success of the program with a reception on October 8th.
The ProQuest Library Volunteer Program included 5 projects, and an Educational Materials Drive benefiting the Ann Arbor District Library, Ypsilanti District Library, and the United Way's Community Action Network. At Ann Arbor District Library, ProQuest staff added tags to the library's catalog, tackling categories of award winning books on the library wish list and also adding tags for material of personal interest to the volunteers. These tags supplement traditional library cataloging, providing alternative, user-generated ways to find library material. In addition, volunteers edited digitized Meeting Minutes for use on the library's website, which hosts Minutes from 1891 through 1930. Volunteers also spent a day at the downtown branch of the Ann Arbor District Library creating an inventory of duplicate titles in the Washtenaw Library for the Blind and Physically Disabled collection of audio books on cassette. The library plans to "weed" (discard) the duplicates. Once the inventory list was created, it was posted to a federal website, where other libraries could view it and request the items for their own collection before they are discarded.
Due to the large number of circulating items during the summer, the Ypsilanti District Library needed some help getting items back on the shelves. After a group training session, volunteers helped to shelve items organize the stacks. Volunteers also helped to dust bookshelves at the library.
ProQuest will celebrate the program's success with a reception on Thursday, October 8 at 3:15 at their Ann Arbor headquarters. Special guests include Ann Arbor District Library Associate Director for IT and Production, Eli Neiburger, and Ypsilanti District Library Community Relations Coordinator, Donna DeButts.

Skype Twitter Account Hacked, Group Posts Anti-Microsoft Sentiments
January 1, 2014 Mark Cathey Leave a comment
It looks like 2014 is off to a series of hacks, with our report earlier claiming that Snapchat was hacked, compromising some 4.6 million user names and phone numbers in the process, and now it looks like Microsoft's Skype Twitter and Facebook accounts have been hacked by the Syrian Electronic Army, who have in the past successfully hacked Twitter, The Financial Times, and The Washington Post just to name a few. The group took the opportunity to tweet out some anti-Microsoft sentiments, and advised the followers to stop using Microsoft's services due to monitoring, which we can only assume has to be related to the recent bout of accusations leveled at the NSA.
According to the tweet, "Don't use Microsoft emails(hotmail,outlook), they are monitoring your accounts and selling the data to the governments. More details soon #SEA." The tweets have since been deleted which we can only assume means that Microsoft has managed to regain control of their accounts. Thankfully unlike the Snapchat hack, this was only the hack of Microsoft's Twitter and Facebook pages, meaning that as far as user information is concerned, it appears to be still intact. Microsoft has yet to respond to the hack.

Twitter Appears To Be Exploring Personalized Breaking News Notifications With @Eventparrot Experiment
Twitter appears to be exploring introducing breaking news notifications tuned for you to its apps, if a new experimental account is any indication. An account called @eventparrot has garnered around 1,500 followers and promises to deliver 'direct messages that help you keep up with what's happening in the world'.
I received my first message from the account this evening, a repackaged tweet from CNN breaking news about rebels kidnapping Libya's prime minister:
The account looks nearly identical in makeup to the @magicrecs account that spawned Twitter's recent addition of push recommendations for follow suggestions and 'interesting tweets'. That account also started out with the profile text 'this is a Twitter experiment', and was later folded into Twitter's products after it garnered a lot of positive responses on Twitter at large.
It's impossible to tell whether the account is an 'official Twitter experiment' as the company does not comment on experiments it runs. But the account has all of the earmarks of an experiment in delivering a personalized set of breaking news alerts that are determined by an algorithm to be actually useful to you. All of the earliest followers are Twitter employees, which isn't too surprising as they tend to dogfood new experiments in some cases.
For now you'll have to forgive me for hedging my bets on this being something Twitter is actually responsible for, but I believe that it is. All of the earmarks are there. I'm also jumping to conclusions a bit about where Twitter might take this as it is just an experiment. So, if it's not successful or doesn't meet with the acclaim of @magicrecs, it might go nowhere.
But, if it's successful, then twitter might roll out news notifications that have the same kind of personal 'magical thrill' that an account follow recommendation from @magicrecs has. In my piece on it last week I noted that Twitter appears to be working hard to create a reason for individuals to feel that the service is tailored to them specifically. This new @eventparrot experiment could be another step in that direction, which is a good thing.
Twitter is still very much trying to figure out how to balance its need to make money with a need to both attract and retain new users. I personally feel that the tapering user growth numbers that we saw in Twitter's S-1 are a direct result of it focusing too much on bringing outside media in to Twitter, rather than Twitter itself being the source of media. If people see Twitter as just another place that they can see the same video clips and pictures that they've seen elsewhere, there is no motivation to make Twitter a part of their daily lives. If, however, people see that Twitter is using its data to break news that matters to them personally, and to deliver media created specifically for the service — that's what will bring the retention.
I'll be watching @eventparrot closely to see how it shapes up. Ironically, or perhaps not so much, I was notified of the new experimental account via @magicrecs.

Has Your Twitter Account Been Hacked?
February 3, 2013 Mark Cathey Leave a comment
A quarter of a million users may have had their passwords and email addresses stolen from the social networking site. Here's what to do if you are one of them.
If you are one of the 250,000 to have had their accounts hacked, you will have been sent, or will shortly be sent, an email from Twitter asking you to create a new password.
Follow the instructions in the email to create a new password. Your old password will not work when you try to log in to the social networking site.
Twitter has advised all users to "ensure they are following good password hygiene" – not only on the social networking site but also elsewhere on the internet.
Their advice is as follows:
"Make sure you use a strong password – at least 10 (but more is better) characters and a mixture of upper- and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols – that you are not using for any other accounts or sites. Using the same password for multiple online accounts significantly increases your odds of being compromised."
"If you are not using good password hygiene, take a moment now to change your Twitter passwords. For more information about making your Twitter and other internet accounts more secure, read our Help Center documentation or the FTC's guide on passwords."
"We also echo the advisory from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and security experts to encourage users to disable Java on their computers in their browsers. For instructions on how to disable Java, read this Slate article."
Be warned: the company has also said they do not believe the attack was an isolated incident. Twitter said the hackers were "extremely sophisticated" and it believes other websites will have been similarly attacked.
But some experts have warned that the hack could lead to new "phishing" scams.
As Twitter users now know to be on the lookout for emails asking them to change their passwords, criminals could send out similar messages.
If users click on the links in those they risk having their account hacked. Experts advise not to clink on links in emails asking you to change your password.
Instead, go directly to the website, log in normally, and change it using the instructions.

US Library of Congress Saving 500 Million Tweets Per Day in Archives
The U.S. Library of Congress is now storing 500 million tweets per day as part of its efforts to build a Twitter archive, and has added a total of about 170 billion tweets to its collection.
Twitter signed an agreement in April 2010 to provide the library with an archive of every public tweet since the company went live in 2006, and the Library of Congress recently provided an update on its progress. The initial stage of the project, which includes a complete copy of all tweets covering that four-year span, will be finished by the end of the month.
The project is now shifting its focus to making the collection accessible to lawmakers and researchers. The library has permission from Twitter to share the tweets with vetted researchers at least six months after they were published, provided they are not used for profit or redistributed.
"It is clear that technology to allow for scholarship access to large data sets is lagging behind technology for creating and distributing such data," the library noted in a public document about its progress.
The library said the initial four-year archive contained about 21 billion tweets that take up 20 terabytes when uncompressed, including data fields. It continues to receive and process messages from Twitter, which are now organized into files representing hour-long segments by Gnip, a service provider with which Twitter also partnered in 2010 to provide commercial access to the full range of tweets.
The full archive now requires 133.2 terabytes for two compressed copies, which are stored on tape in separate locations for safe keeping.
The library said it has already received 400 inquires from researchers for access to the archives, for research topics including citizen journalism, vaccination rates and stock market trends.
The library said it already maintains similar collections, such as an archive of web sites related to government and policy matters that is over 300 terabytes in size.
The government library's collection includes over 34.5 million books and 66.6 million manuscripts. It is officially the working library of the U.S. Congress, but also serves as a national archive of written works for the country.

Infographic Reveals Users Average Amount of Time Spent on Social Networks Each Month
November 29, 2012 Mark Cathey Leave a comment
The law firm Morrison and Foerster's Socially Aware Blog have managed to gather the relevant data on how much time one spends on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ and other social networking websites.
Google+ gets about 100 million active users per month, while Facebook comes in at an impression 1 billion. This data has been translated into how many hours these networks are used.
It seems that the average user on a monthly basis spends close to 7 hours on Facebook, and a rather meager 3 minutes on Google+. Interestingly though it seems that their data has revealed that on average users spend only 21 minutes a month on Twitter.

This Aidspan white paper tackles two linked questions: What problems arise in the provision of adequate, timely, appropriate and effective Technical Support (TS) to projects financed by the Global Fund? And what can be done about these problems? These issues were discussed at the first "Global Fund Round Table", organized in 2007 by Aidspan. The meeting consisted of a private "conversation" between twenty leaders representing government, civil society and multilateral agencies. Participants agreed that Aidspan would produce this white paper, based in large part on problems that were discussed at the Round Table, and including recommendations generated before and after the Round Table by Aidspan and others. The white paper discusses three main problem areas: TS needs are usually identified and met too late in the Global Fund grant cycle. TS that is provided often does not meet grantee needs. In particular, it usually does not build local capacity. TS is under-funded, and GF partners do not collaborate sufficiently regarding TS provision. This white paper is available in English only.

10 Years On Air
Access Manawatu 999AM 10 Years On Air
Manawatu Standard
AIRWAVES: The broadcasters and supporters of Access Manawatu toast their first decade on air.
© SAM BAKER/Manawatu Standard.
Ten years on, and this radio station team hasn't let anything get it down.
Supporters of community-run station Access Manawatu yesterday raised their glasses to a decade of bringing the "voice of the people" to Palmerston North.
In a speech at the festivities, station manager Fraser Greig said the station is a platform for the community voice to be heard.
"It's a place to represent your views and values. It is here for you."
He said enthusiastic people had worked hard at the station over the years, with a common purpose.
"Dedicated broadcasters consistently provide diverse, entertaining programming for the Manawatu, by the Manawatu."
The NZ On Air-funded station was also celebrating the move into new premises on Broadway Ave, after years of being crammed into Queen Elizabeth college grounds.
Broadcaster Barrie Angland was there for the beginning - his first show went on air on December 11, 1997, three days after the opening.
"We wanted something right here in the Manawatu. It is not restricted, there are no commercial imperatives.
"People in the community have a voice, and need to tell their side of the story."
When the station began there were more than 20 volunteers, donating time and records to the different shows, Mr Angland said.
He is keen for a return to those exhilarating days, and wants to see facilities improve.
"We've got to be careful new technology does not take over the station - you shouldn't hear just music.
"It would be marvellous to see the day when we have a broadcaster in Feilding."
Mr Grieg says he expects an FM frequency to be launched shortly.

What I did during the marathon, with Alex oniugnip: beat my previous PR by 54 seconds, despite my concerns. I was able to do it because of Alex, who ran just a little in front of me for the entire last half of the race and turned around and yelled "Beautiful girl!" periodically. (Every time I caught up, he'd pull ahead again.) Also: we didn't walk. At all. The whole way. Also: negative splits.
And we're about to make stir-fry and have birthday cake with the atl-snack kids. And then all we have to do is go to Japan.
Do birthdays get more perfect?
Do they get better? That's pretty hard to top, I must say. Congratulations!
I am glad your birthday has been so wonderful.
As always, I'm happy and privileged to know you.
This is amazing. Congratulations, and enjoy your trip! What a lucky you!
No one who speaks German could be an evil man!

Wow, It's been a while since I've made a post. I'm going to try to post more often. Anyway.
Like VMware , but for storage!
market." Now this isn't the first time I've heard a storage company use the tired "we're like VMware, but for storage!" slogan, but this time it got me thinking.
What this company is really announcing is "we're like ESX2.5, but for storage!" (Not as catchy.) It is the ability to move storage workloads between discrete storage controllers non-disruptively. Manually, no DRS or HA. And any one workload is still bound to the resources in the controller that owns it. A nice feature but not exactly a revolutionary paradigm shift.
Let me paint you another picture. Some time in the future, VMware announces a new version of vSphere. This new version allows users to truly treat server resources like a pool- you have a total amount of CPU cores, memory, and NICs added up for the whole cluster and you can assign as much or as little as you need. Not limited to the resources of a single vSphere host for a single workload. If I have 2.5TB of memory and 120 cores across my vSphere cluster, I can assign as much as I want to a VM and the vSphere nodes will use a high speed interconnect (like Infiniband or RapidIO) to share all the resources between vSphere hosts.
Sounds amazing, right? But what does VMAX have to do with this?
Well that's pretty much how the Symmetrix VMAX and VMAXe work. Each engine, which contains two controllers (directors) are connected to a Virtual Matrix (hence the name VMAX) that connects all the directors together and allows sharing of resources. I can add more CPU (engines), Memory (cache), or NICs (FC Ports) to my workload (LUN) without an outage and without being constrained by the resources of a single director.
Because the resources are all shared and the resource control is so fine-grained, it also allows for unmatched fault tolerance and minimized performance degradation during a fault. In any dual controller architecture, a loss of one of the controllers means a 50% loss of potential performance during that fault. Your data may be available, but it might not be useable. In the VMAX world, workloads can be (and should be) assigned resources across many different directors in different engines. This way, any component failure, means just the loss of that component with minimal impact on performance without administrative intervention. This is even more critical as virtualization means continued consolidation. Which basket would you put all your proverbial eggs in?
This architecture also allows me to add additional resources to the VMAX on the fly- I can start with a single engine and add engines, disk, ports, and cache as I grow.
That's all great, but what's it going to cost me?
In my opinion, this is one of the biggest misconceptions around the Symmetrix for years. Yes, some configurations can cost a lot, but as you see by its marketshare plenty of customers see the value. There are also plenty of VMAX configurations that are cost-competitive with dual controller arrays, and depending on the use-case, the VMAX can have a better TCO.
Fully Automated Storage Tiering (FAST VP) has made a huge change here- customers are now buying much more SATA, much less FC, a few EFDs, and letting VMAX sort it out automatically. This has lead to even better TCO.
The VMAXe has changed this even further- it trims out some features not needed by as many customers (Mainframe support, MASSIVE scale), adds in features customers do want (RecoverPoint replication), and simplified operations (all virtually provisioned, install to first IO in 4 hours).
Now you can understand why the VMAX and VMAXe are seeing great growth in the storage industry today.
So if and when sometime in the future VMWare announces a new version of vSphere like I described, they can say "like VMAX, but for server virtualization!"

The new V&A showcases the best of Scottish design alongside travelling exhibitions from the V&A London and other museums.
Dundee's other famous museum, Verdant Works, is an impressive industrial museum based around Dundee's jute industry - part of Dundee's history.
Dundee has a truly ancient cemetery at its heart, The Howff is on land gifted by Mary Queen of Scots.

Freestanding chimneys are often the only reminders of past lives
A set of stairs leads up to vacant property on Bradford Street where two chimneys stand. - photo by Tom Reed
Driving around Gainesville there are markers throughout the city that recall another life.
Freestanding chimneys pop up in neighborhoods, and an occasional staircase will lead to a vacant lot.
The most peculiar thing about the chimneys is that they are no longer used and are not connected to a structure of any kind.
But there are several good reasons for the freestanding chimney, according to Glen Kyle, the managing director of the Northeast Georgia History Center.
"There are a variety of different answers," he said. "Sometimes it's that the house was damaged or burned down and of course the chimney's not going to burn ... sometimes folks would be needing the building materials, if they were just tearing down the house. It's easier to tear down boards and things like that and reuse them than rocks from a chimney ... sometimes they would just leave it as a marker."
Kyle also explained that during and after the Civil War some of the chimneys had real historical significance.
"During the Civil War when Gen. Sherman was making his march through Georgia they came to be called Sherman's Toothpicks," Kyle said. "Because some of the houses that were burned between Atlanta and the sea ... would dot the landscape."
So the chimney served as a reminder, to those that saw the brick structure, that there once was a family and a history in that spot.
Several chimneys dot Gainesville, including one on Sylvan Wood Lane, two on a vacant lot on Bradford Street and one on a corner lot on Enota Drive and Yonah Avenue.
The chimney on Sylvan Wood Lane is made out of old stone and is not quite as tall as the other three chimneys. But it was connected at one time to a home, according to Jan Cooley.
"It used to be an old home place there," said Cooley, owner of property that surrounds Sylvan Wood Lane. "I wouldn't tear it down; there ain't no way I would tear that chimney down. I figure it's got personality probably; there is something to it. I'm into antiques anyway. I think that it had been reworked and had some work done on it but I'm not sure."
Johnny Vardeman, retired editor of The Times, said the old chimney may have been connected to a recreation area years ago.
"It was just a kind of a cottage and barbecue area backed up to one of the Green Street residences," he said. "There used to be I think two or three houses where The Times is now."
Kyle agrees taking these chimneys down isn't the best answer.
"Depending on how well it is put together, you are going to destroy a lot of the raw materials in the process of disassembling the chimney ... and it's not really worth the labor," he said.
The two chimneys located on the same property on Bradford Street now have plants growing out of the fireplace.
Another lonely chimney sits on 3.5 acres at the meeting of Enota Drive and Yonah Avenue. Dominion Development is planning 29 town houses on the property, and the fate of the chimney is unkown. The chimney is taller than the others and looks as if it could topple over at any moment.
Kyle said deterioration over time is why these chimneys may start disappearing.
"It was more prevalent in the past than it is now," he said. "People are taking historical chimneys, or the time and weather have finally got to them and pushed them over."
Kyle added that was exactly what happened to the chimney where his grandparents used to live.
"We used to the go to the old house place and the only thing that was there was a standing chimney," he said.

Nearby Tourist Places
Pushkar is one of the oldest towns situated near Ajmer. According to the legend the place was created when the lotus fell from the hands of Lord Brahma. The city is groomed with multiple temples, shrines, and Ghats for which it is considered as one of the holiest places in India. The city is blessed with the pristine lake called 'Pushkar Lake', and it is home to the Brahma Temple that dates back to the 14th century and remains one of the most prominent among the few existing temples dedicated to Lord Brahma
Pushkar Lake
Located in the small town of Pushkar in the Ajmer district of Rajasthan, The Pushkar Lake is one of the most prominent spots of pilgrimage as well as the site of the world famous Pushkar Fair. Encircled by numerous temples and ghats (bathing spots), the lake draws thousands upon thousands devotees every year to its threshold, to gain spiritual distinction and attain salvation by taking a dip in its holy waters. As the Kartik (Oct-Nov) month descends, the site becomes the focus of soulful devotion and pilgrimage as auspiciousness of this time is highly emphasized in Hindu sacred texts. At the same time, Pushkar Fair wonderfully exhibits the vibrancy of Rajasthan with exotic colors, dishes, dance, cattle fair and numerous entertaining contests and competitions. With amazing spiritual atmosphere, Pushkar Lake remains the site of timeless reverence and spirit.
Brahmaji Temple
Brahma temple in Pushkar is a rare religious site that is dedicated to the lord of creation, Lord Brahma. The reason behind it being rare is that the temple is amongst the very few existing temples of Lord Brahma in India. Known as the Jagatpita Brahma Mandir, this Hindu temple has its address in the Pushkar town of Rajasthan. Days of construction of this temple dates back to the 14th century. However, Indian Mythology believes the origin of this temple took place 2000 years back in the history. Located close to the sacred Pushkar Lake, the temple is a highly prominent tourist attraction; with large flock of tourists visiting it especially on the auspicious occasion of Kartik Poornima.
Savitri Mata Temple
The Savitri temple in Pushkar is located on the Ratnagiri hill which is a popular pilgrimage site for the Hindus. The temple is dedicated to Goddess Savitri. It is a very strenuous work to climb on the hilltop but it is believed that the harder you work the more 'Tapas' are gained. In this temple you will find the idols of both the wives of Lord Brahma named Savitri and Gayatri. But as per tradition Goddess Savitri is always worshipped first and then prayers to Goddess Gayatri are offered. The visitors can either trek to the temple gates or take a ride in the cable cars which take passengers to the temple. The ropeway ride is really full of fun from where you can have an awesome view of the Pushkar city. However, many devotees prefer to climb 200 stairs leading to the shrine which they consider an important part of their pilgrimage to the place.
Rangji Temple
Rangji temple is one of the very famous temples of Rajasthan in Pushkar. The temple is a dedication to the Lord Vishnu, incarnation Lord Rangji. It is believed that the temple was commissioned in 1823 by Seth Puran Mal Ganeriwal who was from Hyderabad. There are idols of other gods as well in the temple such as those of Goddamaji, Goddess Laxmi, Lord Krishna and Shri Ramanujacharya. The temple is one of the most popular tourist destinations in this part of the country where followers come to pray and give homage to the deities of the temple. The temple is situated in one of the most famous Rajasthani cities of Pushkar, which is known for its close to 400 astounding looking temples. Thus, many believe the city to be a must visit on a tourists to do list.
Varaha Temple
Varaha Temple is located in Pushkar, Rajasthan, India, a land famous for relics of the glorious royal dynasties of old days in the form of palaces, forts and temples. Natural beauty also abounds, and there are lakes and mountains. So why should religion be far behind? Indeed, Pushkar celebrates Hinduism, and Varaha temple is one of the finest testaments to that. It is dedicated to the worship of one of the chief Hindu gods, Lord Vishnu, and the avatar that is celebrated here is the one of a boar. Lord Vishnu incarnated as a boar, or Varaha, is worshipped in temples all around India, and this is another example. It is very attractive to tourists and has architecture that is remarkable, consisting of a dome at the top, white walls and even pillars.
Welcome to Hotel Vamdev Fort, a boutique hotel between the rose garden of Pushkar. Located at the Vamdev Road, Pushkar. There is a harmony in the atmosphere – peaceful, quiet, beautiful. The hotel offers spacious rooms to suit with heritage rajasthani style & comforts furnished with royal feeling of rajasthan. The hotel also have a beautiful swimming pool.

Q: PostGIS slow intersection Yet another intersection issue. I'm working with OSM database in PostGIS.
Now trying to count all buildings that fall into a countries bounding box.
This is my query (bbox for Germany).
SELECT
COUNT(osm_id) AS num
FROM
planet_osm_polygon
WHERE
tags->'building' IS NOT NULL AND
way && ST_Transform(ST_MakeEnvelope(12.8719,52.3700,13.9382,52.6646, 4326), 3857)
No matter whether I filter for buildings or not, the query is slow.
My expectation would be below 10s but reality is about 100 seconds.
This is my query plan:
Aggregate (cost=500537.88..500537.89 rows=1 width=8)
-> Bitmap Heap Scan on planet_osm_polygon (cost=7691.95..500254.94 rows=113173 width=8)
Recheck Cond: (way && '0103000020110F0000010000000500000076B9815A3DDD354137FCF32B5A325A4176B9815A3DDD3541133B4058FB665A410E689A53E9AC3741133B4058FB665A410E689A53E9AC374137FCF32B5A325A4176B9815A3DDD354137FCF32B5A325A41'::geometry)
Filter: ((tags -> 'building'::text) IS NOT NULL)
-> Bitmap Index Scan on planet_osm_polygon_index (cost=0.00..7663.66 rows=133748 width=0)
Index Cond: (way && '0103000020110F0000010000000500000076B9815A3DDD354137FCF32B5A325A4176B9815A3DDD3541133B4058FB665A410E689A53E9AC3741133B4058FB665A410E689A53E9AC374137FCF32B5A325A4176B9815A3DDD354137FCF32B5A325A41'::geometry)
Eventually this should run against another table with 200+ country polygons.
A: The comments already seemed to help, meaning vacuum analyze should do in the most situations. Nevertheless,here is a method that reduced the runtime of the query by factor 2:
create table buildings as
select osm_id,building,way from planet_osm_polygon
where building is not null;
create index on buildings using gist(way);
\timing
Timing is on.
select count(osm_id) as num from planet_osm_polygon
where way && st_makeenvelope(680000.0,6400000.0,710000.0,6490000.0,3857)
and building is not null;
num
------
8102
(1 line)
Time: 12,594 ms
select count(osm_id) from buildings where
way && st_makeenvelope(680000.0,6400000.0,710000.0,6490000.0,3857);
num
------
8102
(1 line)
Time: 6,102 ms
Here is a query plan for the first query:
Aggregate (cost=6660.68..6660.69 rows=1 width=8)
-> Bitmap Heap Scan on planet_osm_polygon (cost=1086.09..6636.39 rows=9715 width=8)

Here is a query plan for the second query:
Aggregate (cost=3037.33..3037.34 rows=1 width=8)
-> Bitmap Heap Scan on building (cost=287.66..3016.88 rows=8178 width=8)
Recheck Cond: (way && '0103000020110F000001000000050000000000000080C0244100000000006A58410000000080C0244100000000E4C1584100000000E0AA254100000000E4C1584100000000E0AA254100000000006A58410000000080C0244100000000006A5841'::geometry)
-> Bitmap Index Scan on building_way_idx (cost=0.00..285.61 rows=8178 width=0)
Index Cond: (way && '0103000020110F000001000000050000000000000080C0244100000000006A58410000000080C0244100000000E4C1584100000000E0AA254100000000E4C1584100000000E0AA254100000000006A58410000000080C0244100000000006A5841'::geometry)
As you can see, the trick is to preprocess the data as much as possible to gain query performance and force the query planner to do exactly what you want. In this case, this skipped the 'building is not null' filter condition. Furthermore, the estimated costs for the aggregate and bitmap heap scans halved.
For testing, I just used data from Luxembourg, whereas my bbox was smaller than the extents of Luxembourg, therefore, the results for larger datasets might differ.

Surrey RCMP request public's assistance after pedestrian struck by cab on Scott Road
ON Sunday (February 2), at approximately 9:20 p.m., Surrey RCMP attended to a motor vehicle collision in which a pedestrian was struck. A 22-year-old female resident of Surrey was crossing the road mid-block and stepped out in front of southbound SurDel Taxi.

To preserve this belief, they applied the way of knowing about the world they understood: logical argumentation rather than objective observation.

Wu stands by decision to decide candidates by polls
Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Chairman Wu Den-yih, third left, yesterday attends a Lunar New Year event in a veterans' village in Hsinchu.

Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT) Chairman Wu Den-yih (吳敦義) yesterday defended the party headquarters' decision to choose candidates for November's local elections though public opinion polls rather than KMT member surveys, saying that the method would create the fewest grievances among aspirant candidates.
Speaking on the sidelines of a party event in Taoyuan, Wu said that polls are the most reasonable way to choose candidates.
It is human nature for politicians to flock to places where the hope of winning is higher, such as Kaohsiung and Tainan, where Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) members have been engaged in cut-throat competition, Wu said.
"Likewise, most KMT members seek to compete for nominations in constituencies where the KMT is more likely to win, while shunning more difficult places," Wu said, adding that this was why the KMT headquarters decided to use "fair and open" public opinion polls.
Wu made the remarks one day after KMT Chiayi City Council Speaker Hsiao Shu-li (蕭淑麗) expressed distrust of the party's polls and announced her decision to run for Chiayi mayor as an independent, potentially splitting the pan-blue vote in a city currently governed by the DPP.
Hsiao's announcement came only days after a polling company entrusted by the KMT with gauging the approval ratings of the party's two aspirant candidates for Keelung mayor — KMT Immigrant Affairs Committee chairman Hsieh Li-kung (謝立功) and Keelung City Council Speaker Sung Wei-li (宋瑋莉) — mistakenly mixed up survey data.
Due to the mistake, the KMT on Sunday morning last week announced Hsieh as the party's candidate, only to declare Sung the winner in the afternoon.
"Who are you going to trust? The KMT chairman? Do you think everyone will willingly accept [his pick]? That is impossible," Wu said, adding that doing so would result in criticism that the KMT is an undemocratic party.
The party has contacted Hsiao and asked her to reconsider, Wu said, adding that he also hopes to resolve the controversies in Keelung before the Lunar New Year.

Measure X Charter Amendment - Majority Approval Required
To learn more about measures, follow the links for each tab in this section. For most screenreaders, you can hit Return or Enter to enter a tab and read the content within.
Shall a measure to amend the Charter to, among other things, establish Councilmember term limits, require two hearings before Council places certain measures on the ballot; count Councilmember abstentions and absences as "no" votes in determining whether Mayor may break a tie; provide Public Ethics Commission discretion in setting Councilmember salaries; authorize the Commission to set City Attorney and Auditor salaries; and add and detail duties and provide minimum staffing for the Auditor, be adopted?
What is this proposal?
Details — Official information
David Chiu, San Francisco City Attorney
Title: A proposed amendment to the Charter to establish term limits for members of the City Council ("Council"), require two Council hearings for certain proposed ballot measures, count Councilmember abstentions and absences as "no" votes in determining whether the Mayor may cast a tie-breaking vote at the Council, provide the Public Ethics Commission ("Commission") discretion in setting Councilmember salaries, authorize the Commission to set the salaries of the City Auditor and the City Attorney, clarify and add to the duties of the City Auditor, and set minimum staffing for the Office of the City Auditor.
This measure makes a number of changes to the Charter including:
Councilmember Term Limits
Members of the Council are elected to four-year terms. There are no term limits. This measure would prohibit a Councilmember from serving more than three consecutive terms.
Hearings on Proposed Ballot Measures
State law requires the Council to hold one public hearing before voting to place a measure on the ballot. This measure would require the Council to hold two public hearings before voting to place a general obligation bond, parcel tax, or Charter amendment on the ballot.
Councilmember Salaries
The Public Ethics Commission ("Commission") adjusts Councilmember salaries every two years based on any increases in the consumer price index ("CPI"). The Commission may also adjust their salaries above CPI increases, up to a total of five percent per year. This measure provides that the Commission would adjust the salaries every two years based on CPI increases, up to a total of five percent. But if the total CPI increase over the prior two years exceeds five percent, the Commission may adjust salaries up to five percent per year but may not adjust the salaries more than the CPI increase per year.
Mayoral Tie-Breaking Vote
The Mayor does not have a vote on the Council, but the Charter authorizes the Mayor to cast a tie-breaking vote when the Council is evenly divided. This measure provides that for purposes of determining whether there is a tie, a Councilmember's abstention or absence shall count as a "no" vote.
City Attorney and City Auditor Salaries
The Council sets the salary of the City Attorney and the City Auditor using a specified formula. This measure provides that the Commission would set these salaries based on salaries of the highest paid professional employee in their respective offices, other City department heads, and comparable positions in California jurisdictions.
City Attorney and City Auditor Political Activities
This measure would prohibit the City Attorney and the City Auditor from making or soliciting contributions to, publicly endorsing, or participating in the campaign of a candidate for City elective office or of a City ballot measure.
This measure establishes further qualifications and additional duties for the City Auditor.
The Charter does not set minimum staffing for the Office of the City Auditor. This measure provides that the budget for the Office of the City Auditor must be sufficient for at least fourteen full-time employees.
Impartial analysis / Proposal
Members of the City Council ("Council") are elected to four-year terms. There are no term limits. This measure would prohibit a Councilmember from serving more than three consecutive terms, except that a district Councilmember may serve up to three consecutive terms followed by up to three consecutive terms as an at-large Councilmember. Councilmember terms that began before January 2023 shall not count towards the term limits.
State law requires the Council to hold at least one public hearing before placing a measure on the ballot. This measure would require the Council to hold at least two public hearings at least 10 calendar days apart before placing general obligation bonds, parcel taxes, or Charter amendments on the ballot.
The Public Ethics Commission ("Commission") adjusts the salary for Councilmembers every two years based on the increase in the consumer price index ("CPI"). The Commission may adjust salaries beyond the increase in CPI up to five percent per year. The voters may approve increases above five percent in a year. This measure provides that the Commission adjusts the salaries every two years based on CPI increases, up to a total of five percent for the two years. But if the total CPI increase over the prior two years exceeds five percent, the Commission may adjust salaries up to five percent per year but may not adjust the salaries more than the CPI increase per year. The measure removes the ability of the voters to approve increases above five percent by ordinance.
The Council sets the salary of the City Attorney and the City Auditor. This measure provides that the Commission would set these salaries based on the salaries of the highest paid
professional employee in their respective offices, other City department heads, and comparable positions in California jurisdictions.
This measure would prohibit the City Attorney and the City Auditor from making or soliciting contributions to, publicly endorsing, or participating in the campaign of a candidate for City elective officer, or of a City ballot measure.
This measure specifies when the Office of City Auditor becomes vacant and a process for filling the vacancy.
The Charter does not set minimum staffing in the Office of the City Auditor. This measure provides that the budget for the Office of the City Auditor must be sufficient for at least fourteen full-time employees, unless the Council determines for a given fiscal year or two-year budget cycle that the City is facing an extreme fiscal necessity.
Financial effect
JENNY WONG Berkeley City Auditor
BERKELEY CITY AUDITOR'S IMPARTIAL FINANCIAL ANALYSIS OF THE GOOD GOVERNANCE CHARTER REFORM BALLOT MEASURE
If passed by more than fifty percent of the voters, the Measure would amend the City Charter to establish term limits for councilmembers, require a minimum of two council hearings before certain council-proposed ballot measures for placement on the ballot, and count councilmember abstentions and absences as a no vote on council motions, resolutions, and ordinances to determine whether the Mayor is eligible to cast a tie-breaking
vote. Further, the Measure would change the formula for the Public Ethics Commission (PEC) to set councilmember salaries, authorize the PEC to set the salaries of the City Auditor and City Attorney, and clarify the duties of and provide minimum staffing for the City Auditor.
Financial Impact
This Measure will cost the City an estimated additional $858,199 annually in staffing costs, as detailed in the tables below.
The staffing level in the Auditor's office will increase from 11 Full Time Employees (FTEs) to a minimum staffing level of 14 FTEs, effective July 2023. City Council may suspend the minimum staffing level for a fiscal year or two-year budget cycle, in the event of extreme fiscal necessity.
Cost Component
Current FY 2023 Budget (11 FTEs)
Estimated Additional
(+3 FTEs)A
A Estimate is based on FY 2023 staff salaries and benefit rates.
The measure will authorize the PEC to set the salary of the City Attorney and the City Auditor annually. These salaries may not be reduced during their terms of office, except as part of a general reduction of salaries for all officers and employees. The estimated additional annual costs in the table below are based on an assessment of salaries within both departments, salaries of department heads within the City of Oakland, and salaries of comparable positions in California cities.
Current FY 2023
Annual Costs (Salary and
Benefits)
Limits to this financial analysis are noted below:
Staff salaries and benefit rates may increase over time which would increase the cost to the City.
The PEC is authorized to set the salaries for the City Auditor and the City Attorney. As such, the PEC's methodology may vary from our estimates.
Should a vacancy occur in the Office of the City Auditor at a time that cannot be consolidated with a municipal or statewide election, a special election may be held. As of July 2022, the County of Alameda Registrar of Voters' costs for special elections range from $9 to $11 per registered voter for vote-by-mail to $19 to $21 per registered voter for in-person voting.
Our independent analysis represents the best information available at the time. Actual costs may vary from these estimates.
Published Arguments — Arguments for and against
Arguments FOR
As the City of Oakland grows in size and complexity, we must modernize our government. This can be
done in part by making changes to our City charter. The charter defines the powers, functions and
essential procedures of city government. Measure X makes common sense changes to better allow our
government to meet the needs of our city in a more democratic, accountable, transparent, and
equitable manner.
Councilmember Term Limits - By putting term limits of three consecutive four-year terms on
councilmembers, we allow new, diverse leadership to take office.
Enhance transparency by requiring minimum of two council hearings for ballot measures -
Requires increased transparency and greater ability for the public to weigh in on ballot measures before
they are approved onto the ballot.
Close mayoral tie-breaking loophole - Counts abstentions as 'No' votes allowing future mayors the
ability to cast tie-breaking votes as intended by our charter, thereby allowing action to move forward.
Public Ethics Commission setting salary formulas for City Attorney, City Auditor By allowing the
PEC to set salaries in alignment with similarly situated California cities, we ensure greater fairness and
equity in pay and draw more talent to the City of Oakland. Caps salary increases for councilmembers.
Clarifying duties & providing minimum staffing for City Auditor - Clarifies City Auditor's
duties and provides minimum staffing to ensure the City Auditor has the resources to fulfill this
important watchdog role; sets a minimum three-year relevant experience requirement to ensure
Oakland selects top talent.
Please join us in voting YES for common sense charter reform - Yes on Measure X.

On August 8, Rifeng group officially signed a contract with Chongqing Rongchang district government to invest 1 billion yuan to build a smart ceramic sanitary ware production base in Rongchang national high-tech zone. This base will mainly produces smart ceramic sanitary ware products and bathroom cabinets etc. In the future, Rongchang sanitary ware production base will become an important foundation for Rifeng to achieve market expansion and promote the development of integrated and intelligent strategic planning.
Rifeng's Rongchang ceramic sanitary ware production base of Rifeng Enterprise Group covers an area of 300 acres with a total investment of 1 billion yuan. The annual output value is expected to be more than 1.5 billion yuan. The base construction period is two years, and it is expected to be completed in 2020 and will be put into production in 2021.
Mr. Xu Tenghui, CEO of Rifeng Group, said that "The establishment of intelligent ceramic sanitary ware production base in Rongchang is a major step for Rifeng's strategic layout. After the site selection and repeated comparison, the company finally decided to settle its ceramic sanitary ware production base in Rongchang, Chonqing (a large city in southwest China). Rifeng has confidence in the investment in Rongchang due to its complete supporting measures, good location transportation and the local government's high quality and efficient service."
Rongchang is located in the golden junction of Chengdu and Chongqing, two large cities with tens of millions of people, and has a radiation population of 369 million within 500 kilometers. In 1953, Rongchang ceramics was named one of the four famous ones in China by the Ministry of Light Industry. In 2011, the production technique of Rongchang ceramics was listed as a national intangible cultural heritage. Rongchang is also the only ceramic industry base planned by the Chongqing municipal government. It is committed to building the western ceramic city, China's high-end sanitary ceramics park and the "One Belt and Road" industrial ceramics R&D and trading center. Based on industrial advantages and rich resources , Rongchang will regard ceramics as the leading industry to support development.
With the continuous upgrading of consumer demand and the driving of national policies, the market demand for intelligent sanitary wares is on the rise and the market size and growth space are increasing. Based on the slogan of "Integrated Sanitary Creator", Rifeng Group upgraded its sanitary ware brand in 2018, and steadily carried out various strategic layouts.

The Achievements of the "Cinderella Corps," as they have been called, will be a topic of conversation for many years to come. They demonstrated what can be done when a Corps has the spirit, courage, and determination to be National Champions. The Golden Knights displayed real courage and determination during the early months of the 1954 season when they were finishing second and sometimes third to such great Corps as Holy Name of Garfield, N.J., 1953 State and National Champions, and the colorful St. Joseph's Cadets of Newark. The GOLDEN KNIGHTS never gave up. Through sheer courage and dogged determination, they reached their peak in August when they won both National Championships, a feat accomplished only once before in Drum Corps history by a Junior Corps. This honor and distinction were gained by the great 1952 St. Vincent's Cadets of Bayonne, who have won so many titles over the years. It is our earnest hope that the GOLDEN KNIGHTS will be as successful in 1955 and for many years to come.

The year was 1954 and the comments interesting. "...among the big five corps of the country for a good four years or more..." indeed! The Golden Knightgs placed in the top 5 in 19 of 21 Nationals entered between 1954 and 1970. They won 9 of those 21; placed 2nd in 2; placed 3rd in 3; placed 4th in 3; placed 5th in 2; and placed 7th in 2. The record:

As you can see, that was the very first contest of the 54 season and Holy Name was the defending National Champs.
