Q: ForEach-Object - Trying to for loop each address in a variable Back with another stupid question no doubt. I'm trying to perform a for loop for each IP Address present in the variable I create. I can create the string either comma or space separated, but either way I cannot get the for loop to do what I want.
I want each address in the list to be passed into this code block
az network application-gateway waf-policy custom-rule match-condition add `
--match-variables RemoteAddr `
--operator IPMatch `
--values <ADDRESS_FROM_STRING>
I am building the list from this piece of script
$addressList = Invoke-WebRequest "https://rules.emergingthreats.net/blockrules/compromised-ips.txt" -UseBasicParsing | Select-Object -ExpandProperty Content
$threatList=(-split $addressList -join ',')
Here is my feeble attempt at this, which I gather is wrong, but I'm likely out of my depth here with my understanding of foreach and foreach-object.
$threatlist | ForEach-Object -process (az network application-gateway waf-policy custom-rule match-condition add `
--match-variables RemoteAddr `
--operator IPMatch `
--values $_)
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks all!
A: To flesh out the pointers given by Mathias R. Jessen and guiwhatsthat:
*
*Use Invoke-RestMethod (whose built-in alias is irm), which directly returns the text of interest (which is a single string with IP addresses, each on its own line).
*Use the unary form of -split, the string splitting operator, to split the multi-line string into an array of tokens (by any run of whitespace, which in the case at hand means that each IP address becomes its own array element.
*Use the ForEach-Object cmdlet with the array as input, which processes each element in the script block ({ ... }) you pass to it, in which the automatic $_ variable refers to the input object (string, in this case) at hand.
-split (irm "https://rules.emergingthreats.net/blockrules/compromised-ips.txt") |
ForEach-Object {
az network application-gateway waf-policy custom-rule match-condition add `
--match-variables RemoteAddr `
--operator IPMatch `
--values $_

The ability to travel without having to tackle any contingency and hassle appearing in the airport premises is every business traveller's enviable virtue. Regardless of the number of times precautionary measures are taken, there's always that one slip up which would derail the smooth continuity of travel. One of the ways to experience zilch travel disruptions is to leverage the services of a business travel agency. Other times it is best to consider the advisories of a seasoned business traveller. Here are 8 airport tips as firmly followed by experts.
For a smoother airport experience, every business traveller should bank on an airline mobile app and leverage on the added advantages that it features, some of which are booking and check-in capabilities, flight statuses, lounge locations, and travel advisories, to experience convenience at your fingertips.
For companies that send executives overseas regularly, it is important to have travel reporting & analysis, which will help save money, time and energy. Best business travel sites offer reporting and analysis as a service but not all of them offer in-depth scrutiny or planning, and that's where a professional business travel company with considerable industry experience, does make all the difference.
Mobile solutions for business travel booking, a comprehensive travel expense management system and travel reporting solution are a godsend for businessmen always on the move. Many corporate travel firms offer mobile apps and platforms for entrepreneurs and top executives who are globe-trotting to manage their itineraries and schedules. So, what are the popular mobile apps for business travellers?

Wil Wheaton Biography
Internet Celebrity
Name at birth: Richard William Wheaton III
Now an author and famous denizen of the Internet, Wil Wheaton is still known to most people as Wesley Crusher, a much-maligned teen character on TV's Star Trek: The Next Generation. Wheaton began his acting career in childhood, and by the mid-1980s had appeared in several small roles on television and in feature films. His turn as Gordie in the movie Stand By Me (1986) earned solid reviews, and it looked as if Wheaton was headed for a career in feature films, along with co-stars Jerry O'Connell, River Phoenix and Kiefer Sutherland. Wheaton then became a regular cast member of Star Trek: The Next Generation (1987-90), playing the teenage son of Dr. Beverly Crusher (Gates McFadden) and drawing the enmity of some vocal hardcore Star Trek fans who didn't like his character. His efforts to build a film career while shooting a television series met with little success and Wheaton left the show after three years. A self-proclaimed "geek," Wheaton found a second career with the expansion of the Internet and the World Wide Web, writing about his own experiences and becoming an active member in various Internet organizations. In 2003 he published a book of true-life stories, Dancing Barefoot, which led to a book contract and a second book, Just a Geek (2004). Wheaton continues to get acting jobs in TV, video games and independent movies, and he does improv comedy, writes pop culture columns and broadcasts podcasts.

In the first full year of operation at Streamwood Oaks golf course, 24,500 rounds were played and an untold number of balls were lost-some by crashing through the windows of nearby houses.
The nine-hole village-owned course is what golfers call tight, meaning if your shot hooks or slices a little, you`re in trouble. Hazards abound, including knee-high wetland grasses, ponds, streams, deep woods and adjacent houses and yards.
Having balls land in yards and hit houses has upset some golf course neighbors.
In a village survey of residents whose houses adjoin the course, 13.8 percent of respondents reported broken windows, 36.2 percent reported siding damage and 42 percent reported that golfers often trespassed on their property.
To deal with the problems, the Streamwood Golf Course Advisory Committee held a public hearing, surveyed the residents and golfers, and formulated suggestions to improve neighbor relations.
Despite the problems, 90.6 percent of the residents responding to the survey said they enjoy living near the golf course.

I just bought a 22.5 WSM, and I already had a medium sized Vortex.
Has anyone used the vortex in the WSM? I'm wondering how to set it up.
Not sure I get what you're trying to achieve. The vortex is used for obtaining high heat, usually just the opposite of what's needed when using the WSM. Maybe a little more information would be helpful.
Or are you referring to the "Hunsacker Vortex" two different animals. I am thinking,in general, the same direction as my namesake. If you are talking about the Owens design, I think you want to use that on a kettle not in the WSM. Two different uses of heat.
As for the Hunsacker, I haven't a clue.
Sounds like I"m barking up the wrong tree.
Not necessarily, we all want to help but, we need more information from you.
There are a couple of different units called "Vortex" one is the cone designed by Owens the other is a much more intricate design built by a company called Hunsacker. My point is which piece of equipment are you talking about?
The Hunsacker is designed for use in barrel smokers and some folks have used them in Weber smokers with excellent results.
I don't think you're barking up the wrong tree but may have just not barked the wrong question!
Thank you Timothy F. Lewis for the encouragement.
I have the Owen's Vortex, and I was just curious whether anyone found a use for it in the WSM. Otherwise, my Vortex will probably go unused from now on (wings in WSM came just as good as Vortex'd wings).
You may be right, the Owens design is for kettle use. I think unless you eliminate the center section the effect would be fruitless but, I'm not sure.
If your Vortex is absolutely never going to be used again, just send it to me!
There's a youtube channel called phil in florence where he modified his WSM to act more like a kettle. The gist of it was moving the charcoal grate higher so its the same distance from the grate as it would be in a kettle. I think he made a video using a vortex in the WSM that way. You might check it out.
I also have the medium size Owens Vortex which gets too darn Hot to use on my Weber Mastertouch 22" Grill as it changed the cooking grill to a dark color. It is now gathering a lot of dust as I should have purchased the smaller size Vortex.

The Latest: Police take suspicious package from NY building
Loop News Created : 25 October 2018 World News
New York City Police Dept. officers arrive outside the Time Warner Center, in New York, Wednesday, Oct. 24, 2018. A police bomb squad was sent to CNN's offices in New York City and the newsroom was evacuated because of a suspicious package. (AP Photo/Richard Drew)
The Latest on pipe bombs sent to prominent Democrats and CNN (all times local):
A New York City police bomb squad has removed a suspicious package from a Manhattan building associated with Robert De Niro.
A law enforcement source tell The Associated Press that the device found Thursday appeared to be linked to the others sent to Democratic figures and CNN's New York City hub. The package looked similar to the others and had a similar device inside, the source said.
The NYPD says the device was taken from 375 Greenwich Street in the Tribeca neighborhood around 6:30 a.m. Thursday.
A spokesman said police were called for a report of a suspicious package at the location around 5 a.m.
By Michael R. Sisak in New York
New York police say they're responding to reports of a suspicious package.
It's unclear if the report is related to pipe bombs sent to prominent Democrats including Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
The New York Police Department says Thursday's report involves the Tribeca neighborhood in Manhattan. A bomb squad unit on Thursday morning drove in a caravan through the city after leaving the neighborhood.
Authorities said on Wednesday the pipe bombs were packed with shards of glass and were intercepted. None of the seven bombs detonated, and nobody was hurt as authorities in New York, Washington, D.C., Florida and California seized the suspicious packages.
One of the explosives was sent to CNN, which prompted the evacuation of the Time Warner Center in Manhattan, where CNN has offices.
A series of pipe bombs sent to prominent Democrats including Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton has deepened political tensions and fears two weeks before national midterm elections.
The pipe bombs were packed with shards of glass and were intercepted. None of the seven bombs detonated, and nobody was hurt as authorities in New York, Washington, D.C., Florida and California seized the suspicious packages.
The targets of the bombs were some of the figures most frequently criticized by President Donald Trump, who still assails Clinton at rallies while supporters chant "lock her up." Trump also often singles out CNN as he rails against the "fake news" media.
Trump took a softer tone at a rally in Wisconsin on Wednesday, saying, "Let's get along."

In times past in poor regions like Molise, when meat was scarce, eggs were an available and affordable source of protein. A dish of pasta dressed with eggs combined the nutrients of two staple foods for a meal that was naturally nutritious and sustaining. I love these pastas sauced withe eggs, and tasty versions can be found all over Italy, especially in Abruzzo, Molise, and Lazio (Rome), where the most famous dish of this type, spaghetti alla carbonara, originated. This Molisano version is particularly appealing, with cavatelli, scrambled eggs, and bacon, and with grated Fontina Val d'Aosta tossed in at the end—a bit out of region, but absolutely delicious here. In Molise they would use grated pecorino, of course, and it is lovely that way, too.
Fill a large pot with salted water (at least 6 quarts water with 1 tablespoon salt), and heat to a boil.
Beat the eggs and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl until well blended.
When the water is at a rolling boil, drop in the cavatelli, stir, and return the water to a boil. Cook the cavatelli 4 to 5 minutes, until al dente, lift them from the pot, drain briefly, and spill them into the skillet.
Over medium heat, toss the cavatelli with the bacon pieces, coating the past with the oil, butter, and bacon fat, too. Pour the beaten eggs all over the pasta, stirring and tumbling them together; keep scraping the coagulating egg from the sides and bottom of the pan, and incorporate it in with the wet eggs. Cook for a minute or two, just until all the egg is lightly cooked and custardy and evenly scrambled into the cavatelli.
Turn off the heat, scatter the shredded fontina over the eggs and pasta, and toss thoroughly to blend in the cheese as it melts. Serve immediately.

I was just going to add this to my "yum" pins and noticed only two reviews. This is exceptional. Heavy, but better than any mac and cheese I've ever had. Will be a staple in my house!
Super easy and fast. Delicious too. Fontina is a must. Perfect peasant food.
This recipe was amazing -- simple and delicious. The flavor of the Fontina cheese is key, in my opinion. I also added a little garlic, garnished with flat parsley. I like a little spice, so I sprinkled of red pepper flakes on top of mine. Very unusual, very very good. Great for brunch or for dinner.

"I'm excited to say that HP's turnaround continues on track," said Meg Whitman, chairman, president and chief executive officer, HP. "In FY14, we stabilized our revenue trajectory, strengthened our operations, showed strong financial discipline, and once again made innovation the cornerstone of our company.

Berlin, Germany's capital and largest city dates to the 13th century, it is located in the northeastern part of the country in a mostly flat landscape. With 3.7 million residents, it is the second most populated city proper in the European Union after London. We've visited Germany many times and Berlin is one of the highlights with its mixture of both classic, restored and modern architecture.
A bit of recent history is important to know about Berlin. After World War Two, the US and its Allies shared administrative responsibilities for Berlin. However, in 1948, when the Western Allies extended the currency reform in the Western zones of Germany to the three western sectors of Berlin, the Soviet Union imposed a blockade on the access routes to and from West Berlin, which lay entirely inside Soviet-controlled territory.
West Berlin was surrounded by East German territory, and East Germany proclaimed the Eastern part as its capital, a move that was not recognized by the western powers. East Berlin included most of the historic center of the city. East Germany began the building of the Berlin Wall between East and West Berlin, and events escalated to a tank standoff at Checkpoint Charlie. West Berlin was now de facto a part of West Germany with a unique legal status, while East Berlin was de facto a part of East Germany. The military manned Checkpoint Charlie was one of the only open gate area to cross from one side of Berlin to the other. This crossing is now a popular tourist photo-op location.
One place you can't miss is the impressive 18th century Brandenburg Gate, a neoclassical monument, built on the orders of Prussian king Frederick William II after the successful restoration of order during the early Batavian Revolution. Featuring 12 Doric columns and featuring a classical goddess statue on a four horse chariot. Berlin as was Germany, was reunified in October 1990. Reminders of the city's turbulent 20th-century history include its touching Holocaust memorial and parts of the Berlin Wall's graffiti painted remains.
Ray at the Holocaust memorial with its coffins inspired theme.
Some other Berlin landmarks include The Fernsehturm (TV tower) at Alexanderplatz in Mitte. It is among the tallest structures in the European Union at 1,207 feet. The tower with its round observation area, featuring a restaurant at top, was built in 1969 and is visible throughout most of the central districts of Berlin. The incredible views on a clear day from the viewing gallery are of all of the city. Although you might have a long wait to be seated, you can have lunch or dinner at the revolving restaurant located on top. The Tower is located right next to the Alexanderplatz regional station in a historic square rebuilt after World War II.
The Reichstag building is the traditional seat of the German Parliament. It was remodeled by British architect Norman Foster in the 1990s and now features a huge glass dome over the session area. It allows free public access to the parliamentary proceedings and really magnificent views of the city, specially at night.
Displays inside The Reichstag building's glass dome.
The Gendarmenmarkt is a neoclassical square in Berlin, the name of which derives from the headquarters of the famous Gens d'Armes regiment located here in the 18th century. It is bordered by two similarly designed cathedrals, the Französischer Dom with its observation platform and the Deutscher Dom. The two churches are French and German. In the center of the square there's a monumental statue of Germany's renowned poet Friedrich Schiller. It is a magical place to experience. In the surrounding streets there are some fine hotels and the impressive Galleries Lafayette Berlin, which is known for crystal jewelry and home goods as well as Christmas ornaments. It is another lovely area not to miss.
The Konzerthaus, or Concert Hall, is home of the Berlin Symphony Orchestra, and stands between the two cathedrals. The central Museum Island in the River Spree houses five museums built from 1830 to 1930 and is a UNESCO World Heritage site. Also in the Island, The Alte Nationalgalerie, or Old National Gallery, is a gallery showing a collection of Neoclassical, Romantic, Impressionist and early Modernist artwork, part of the Berlin National Gallery, which in turn is part of the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, the Berlin State Museum. It is the original building of the National Gallery, whose holdings are now housed in several additional buildings. For something relaxing, a cruise along the River Spree and its canals is one many visitors enjoy.
An art, music and history lovers dream, Berlin is home to over 130 museums and more than 40 theaters and stages and 3 opera houses. There's also a vibrant nightlife of clubs throughout the city.
Adjacent to the Lustgarten and palace is the most impressive Berlin Cathedral, emperor William II's ambitious attempt to create a Protestant version of Rome's St. Peter's Basilica. The huge domed structure sits alone and makes its enormity even more striking.
We also visited the very moving Jewish Museum, it has a standing exhibition on two millennia of German-Jewish history. It is definitely one museum not to miss. The large glass fronted modern Berlin Hauptbahnhof is the largest grade-separated railway station in Europe.
West of the city center, Bellevue Palace is the German President's residence. Charlottenburg Palace, which was burnt out during World War II, is the largest historical palace in Berlin. Although we did not go inside, we experienced the exterior on our way to the historic Potsdam.
The Kurfürstendamm is one of the most famous avenues in Berlin. The very broad, long boulevard can be considered the Champs-Élysées of Berlin— lined with stylish shops, houses, hotels and restaurants. Friedrichstraße is another major culture and shopping street in central Berlin you might enjoy visiting.
Although there are more than 2 thousand public parks and gardens in Berlin, The Tiergarten park in Mitte is, at over 500 acres, one of Berlin's largest and most popular parks. The main street that crosses the park features an impressive victory column the Siegessäule. The Berlin Zoological Garden and its aquarium, the most popular in Europe is located at park's western end.
Berlin is a city with so much history and with lots of fascinating places to keep you interested. Every time we've stayed in Berlin we have found yet more fascinating and interesting places to visit.
The country of Germany has many beautiful and historic cities and places to see. Another favorite of ours is the southern part of Germany known as Bavaria, near Austria. The city of Munich and its surrounding towns and villages feature truly incredible sights. Bavaria will be another story to be told when writing about other dream vacation locations. For now, hope you enjoyed these photos and writings of historic Berlin, Germany.
The Haus der Kulturen der Welt is Germany's national centre for art presentations.
Checkpoint Charlie has the American and the Soviet side.

You certainly know how coloring is important for your kid.
Coloring helps children in hand-eye coordination and aids in developing those tiny muscles in their hands, fingers, and wrist, improving fine motor skills; It provides an opportunity to practice holding a pencil the correct way, preparing kids for school.
Since they are two-years-old, coloring gives your child an opportunity to express his creative side. If he can create something and feels proud about it, then this will help in the positive development of their personality. Colouring is incredibly motivating for kids who are reluctant drawers. It provides an element of fun and excitement watching the result. Colouring requires an advanced concentration and focusing on one task can help a child develop his or her overall concentration levels.
You can't be bored while coloring: there are so many different and easy techniques.
Coloring benefits all children to start out knowing the rules before breaking away, of their own accord, without prevarication. Time after time, your son will learn how to learn about lines, shapes, patterns and forms, just like he will learn how to respect rules.
With his best friend, at home, at the kindergarten, coloring is an activity that help your child master important social skills such as making conversation and handling conflict.
Children expresses themselves differently, and the most difficoult way is using verbal communication. Coloring is a fertile vehicle for self expression as children make color decisions. What do you see in his coloring sheet? Does he scrawling? Maybe he could be angry.
Does he use bright colors, try to make his art sweet and funny? He probably is so happy!
Art Therapy is also calming for kids, especially if they have no other outlet for unpleasant or confusing emotions. They can benefit from processing their feelings, frustrations and emotions though the simple but profound act of coloring.
Kiwee Club care about your kid (and about your mental health!), so we've created for you two some specific Activity Book.
Mandala for Kids, a coloring book for younger kids who need to relax. In this book your child will find a lot of images of vehicles, animals, flowers and so many more.
With Paint Therapy your son will be able to use these coloring pages to relax and for stress relief.
Now it's your turn! Share with us your kid's art-works, tell us what you think about coloring and art therapy, and suggest us what we could create to meet your expectations!

The gathering of the ravens presages a disturbance of the natural order.
Officially, Harry Jenkins' elderly client, Norma Dinnick, had committed no crime. While she embroidered tales of murderous revenge in a singsong voice, her doctors rubbed their jaws to hide their smirks. Such a sweetly smiling woman could not have committed the cruel and devious acts she so vividly described. Their diagnosis was psychotic dementia with a touch of Alzheimer's thrown in. Court documents, stamped with a gold seal, declared her mentally incompetent. After all, psychiatrists were not so easily fooled.
Once appointed as her legal guardian, Harry found her accommodations in the most luxurious mental hospital possible. Their deal was unspoken—a nice, permanent home with refined residents, not a jail. For him, Norma remained a fascinating conundrum, and after all, lawyers only wanted to know so much.
His next task? Locate the missing shares in Elixicorp Enterprises hidden by her deceased husband, Arthur. Their value? Thirty million dollars or so. Only she, Norma insisted, had any right to them, but Harry knew that some had died trying to wrest them from her. He envisioned a line of brutal successors lurking in the shadows, waiting for him to falter. Those shares had to be somewhere. As he drove off to see her today, he determined to find out as much as he could.
In declaring Norma incompetent, the court, in its wisdom, required Harry to consult with her on decisions, if possible. But fortunately, he was not bound by her instructions. Today, he might jog her memory for clues to the missing shares, although her recollections ran from the unreliable to the fantastical.
Gravel crunched beneath his tires as the road to the Mercer Mental Hospital narrowed and mounted steeply between jagged rocks. A small green sign, with white lettering, marked the entrance. Getting out of the car, Harry took off his jacket. The sun bore down, and the heat hit hard. The breeze sang softly through the grasses and caressed his face. In the field below, a group of patients gazed skyward, while an attendant pointed at black ravens circling against the brilliant sky. A nature outing, Harry supposed, but Norma would not be among them. Unless she could command a group, she would have no part of it.
Suddenly, one bird broke from the military precision of the flock and swooped down upon a patient who, clutching his head, ran in circles. As the attendant warded off the attacker, the inmate cringed beneath a tree. Harry turned away and collected his briefcase.
He had heard many versions of Norma's story of the Elixicorp shares. Some hung together— for the most part. Others were so absurdly confused that they strained the credulity of the most gullible soul. As best as Harry could determine, her husband, Arthur, had been part of a consortium to raise money in the nineteen sixties for the development of a wonder drug to forestall memory loss. Ironic that everyone seemed to have forgotten just where those shares might be! Now, all the partners— George Pappas with his underworld connections, Arthur, Archie Brinks, and David Parrish were dead. So, who was entitled to the money?
Walking up the path, lined with tall maples, he saw the white clapboard buildings with their green awnings and wide verandas. Norma sat near the screen door of the main entrance. She wore a pretty, floral dress, neatly cinched in at the waist, giving her a decidedly girlish appearance. Easy to spot her in the midst of all the hospital gowns. A piano rendition of My Blue Heaven floated out on the summer air. Only her foot tapped to the music. Harry had a vision of a single flower sprouting in a dry, stubbly field.
Bending awkwardly to kiss her cheek, he saw the glint in her eye, which said, This is a huge joke. We both know I don't belong in this nuthouse.
"Have you found the missing shares yet, Harry?" Norma demanded.
Harry shifted in his seat. Norma was not above bullying in order to mislead him for her own murky purposes. But if she had any more information, why send him on a pointless and costly venture? No doubt, it would be fun to scour Europe for the money, he thought, as visions of medieval towns flashed before him. But he would have to account for every penny on a court audit of his expenses.
Harry jumped when a birdlike hand pinched his knee. Glancing sideways, he saw the beady eyes of a tiny, wizened woman boring into him. Surrounded, he thought.
She held Mrs. Burke's hand firmly until she lapsed into reverie. Harry rubbed his knee.
Carrying her cane, Harry rushed to catch up with her as she hobbled through the trellised gardens. In the glaring sun, the bees hummed among the blood red roses drooping in the heat. At last, he steered her toward a bench in the shade.
Despite her prior confessions of murder, Norma was fond of changing her tune.
She was right, of course. As her legal guardian, he was sworn to locate all her assets and prepare an inventory. Even suspected ill-gotten gains had to be listed. Although George Pappas and Archie Brinks were dead, Harry was chilled by the prospect of an endless chain of ruthless pretenders.
Norma, her jaw rigid, jerked away.
A fine time for her to become difficult, he thought. "Any more information will make my job a lot easier and less expensive," he said.
Her eyes glassed over. "So I did. Well then…" She began to fidget.
Norma gazed at him. In the beating sun, Harry loosened his tie.
Norma's expression chilled him. "Like who?" he asked more quietly.
"Where are they?" Harry pushed back his matted hair and swallowed hard.
Immediately, the intelligence in Norma's eyes faded.
But the transformation was swift. Her face slackened, and her body slumped against his. The nurse helped her up, and Norma limped and swayed up the path after her. There was nothing he could do. Norma had raised the curtain just an inch, only enough for him to glimpse her shadowy world, where no one else could enter.
He stared at the huge roses looming grotesquely over him. In the lengthening shadows, the patients at the foot of the garden had grown to sinister proportions. And the damned crows were still circling! It seemed unnatural.
Alone, Harry climbed up the pathway. Norma would be lying down in a cool, dark room to receive her injection. Smiling docility would soon erase her shrewd intelligence along with any chance for further information. He knew he was on his own.
Dr. Robert Hawke sank into his bath at the King Edward Hotel. Although briefly amused by the pulsating jets of water, he soon turned them off to concentrate on the problems at hand.
Mildly annoyed, he called out, "Ronnie!" His voice rebounded within the confines of the huge tub. Gently swirling the mountains of suds about, he waited. No answer.Where can that woman be?
"Mrs. Deal?" he called, in a more formal tone.
The door opened, and a dark-haired woman looked in.
"Surely you want privacy, Robert." Veronica Deal said from around the half-open door. She was a mature and highly capable personal assistant who anticipated the needs and catered to the whims of her employer. However, running baths for the able-bodied hardly seemed appropriate. Entering the bathroom, she studied herself in the mirror.
Hawke sat up straighter in the tub. Veronica averted her eyes.
As Hawke sank further into the tub, his flaccid jowls bobbed above the soapsuds. She avoided his penetrating blue eyes. She knew her attraction, which, although definitely not sexual, was completely ridiculous. The man was physically repulsive, yet even naked in his bath, power radiated from him. Some force—it was not love or desire—drew her inexorably to his very core. His scientific work was supremely important. Hope for a cure for Alzheimer's disease rested upon his clinical trials. Sometimes, she felt like a deer frozen in the headlights.
"Thank you, Robert," she said quietly.
Soaping his arms and chest, the doctor spoke irritably. "Norma Dinnick is the obstacle." Then his bow like mouth pursed and tightened into a hard, straight line. "That wretched miscreant! She stands in the way of money desperately needed for medical research." Angrily, he kicked at the soap, making the water slosh over the edge of the tub.
In disgust, the doctor slapped the washcloth on the water. "Just think, Ronnie! If we'd had that money from the start, millions of minds would have been saved. At the very least, Alzheimer's would be just another chronic, controllable condition." He struggled to stand. Swiftly, Veronica turned away.
"Get me my robe!" he demanded.
She held the thick, white robe out to him. She glimpsed his albino skin, covered with masses of freckles and red hair. Unable to bear such exposure, she closed her eyes.
Veronica hurriedly turned her back as he tossed on the robe. Her employer's moods pitched from frenzied summits of success onto jagged rocks of despair. She was weary of trying to steer him clear of the precipice.
"When is he coming?" Hawke patted his face in the mirror.
"At two o'clock." Veronica hurried from the room.
Robert entered the dressing room overlooking the portico of the hotel's main entrance. Glancing out the window, he wrinkled his nose. Toronto! Godforsaken provincial backwater, he fussed. Engrossed in choosing his wardrobe, he decided upon his purple, velvet suit and cream shirt and tie. After viewing his attire from every angle in the triptych of mirrors, he went into the bedroom. Mrs. Deal was nowhere to be seen. That Norma Dinnick, he thought, is a truly wicked soul!
In the lobby of the King Edward, Dr. Brian Tasker straightened his tie and smoothed the strands of hair across his forehead. The gleaming brass doors of the elevator reflected his smiling face and the banks of flowers behind him on the hall tables. Years of hard work in administration at the Queen Mary Hospital had brought him to this meeting with Dr. Hawke. He, the chief administrator, was about to bring revolutionary research to the hospital. Rumors of a Nobel Prize for Hawke's work had been whispered. With a cure for Alzheimer's on the horizon, huge sums of money were at stake. Tasker wanted in.
The elevator took him to the penthouse suite. When he knocked, a handsome woman in her early forties answered the door.
With her warm welcome, Tasker relaxed. Maybe someday, he could have his own personal assistant.
Mrs. Deal led him across the expanse of oak flooring and oriental rugs.
"Coffee, Dr. Tasker?" she asked, motioning him toward the chesterfield. Tasker nodded. "Dr. Hawke will be with us once he's finished a few calls." Pouring coffee from a silver carafe, she then handed him a cup, as he sat perched on the edge of the chesterfield. When she joined him, he could not prevent his eyes from lingering on her black-stockinged legs.
"We are on the threshold of great things." Hawke beamed.
Tasker took out his notebook.
"Yes?" Tasker took up his pen.
Tasker was stunned. He had always dreamed of a permanent monument.
Delighted, Tasker was still mulling over the proposed name. He smiled up at Dr. Hawke, poised above him. "Of course, several bodies must approve the conduct of the trials," he said quietly.
Hawke stared down on him. His lips were rigidly pursed.
Brian fidgeted with his pen. The faces of Dr. Philip Glasser and his sidekick, Dr. Michael O'Hearn, rose before him. "Not that can't be overcome," he said at last.
Hawke stared at him for a moment. "Good!" he said.
Tasker shook his head. He was well aware that important medical research could be stalled. If the right people were not supportive, a worthy project might never see the light of day. A political battle lay ahead.
Quiet settled over the room. The meeting was over. Tasker was ushered to the door. Not until he entered the downstairs lobby, did he give serious thought to handling the opposition that would undoubtedly form on the board.

Interactivity—Experience the latest educational technology, including video, interactive exercises and online discussion with instructors and fellow students.
Quality—Learn from industry experts who want to engage with you on real-world content that's backed by UC Davis, one of the nation's leading universities.
Lagunita is an open-source learning platform. It is supported by the Office of the Vice Provost for Teaching & Learning – which was formerly the Office of the Vice Provost for Online Learning (VPOL) – as part of its commitment to advance creative teaching and learning initiatives and data-driven educational research.
Lagunita is NIUTM University's instance of the open-source release of the edX platform, which was developed by the Harvard/MIT non-profit organization., and which NIUTM engineers, in particular, have been collaborating on Lagunita since April 2013.
The platform Lagunita offers NIUTM faculty and instructors the flexibility to develop new courses and learning modules that can transform the classroom experience of learners. Since its launched at NIUTM University in June 2013, the Lagunita platform has been used to support more than 200 courses and modules for NIUTM's residential students, as well as for Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) that have been made available to the public at a global scale. It is NIUTM's most frequently used platform for online learning efforts.
VPTL engineers have customized the platform for NIUTM use and have added features to the code base that other universities and educational providers can use to support their own online learning initiatives.
Integration with NIUTM's WebAuth system for registered student use – supports single-sign-on with other Stanford services.
Easy access to class videos, announcements, problem sets, and other files. • Videos hosted on YouTube or elsewhere.
Searchable captions used as a skimmable index into the video ("where was it where she used 'coffee' as an example in this video? Oh, there!").
Course content created with mixable types of components and organized into lessons, so any page can contain any combination of types of content. • Problem set support for different response types including: multiple choice, numeric, math expressions, drag-and-drop and many others.
Support for interfacing with external systems such as Qualtrics for surveys in ways that preserve user data.
Course wiki for student-generated content.
Discussion forums, both for standalone and those integrated into the course (e. g. a sub-forum for discussion of a particular video or problem set can be embedded on a page).
Interfacing to external graders (e. g. for grading programming assignments).
Online instruction is generating educational data at a historically unprecedented rate and scale. By having control over data collection for NIUTM courses delivered viaon Lagunita, our team can more effectivelyiciently shape build the science of teaching and learning while accumulating usable knowledge. NIUTM faculty, allied researchers, and instructional designers use what we learn on Lagunita to iteratively improve instruction at NIUTM and contribute to learning science worldwide.
NIUTM Lagunita also facilitates joint collaborative efforts on between NIUTM and other institutions in joint efforts to improve education.
Because the platform is open source software, other universities and educational providers can use it freely to support their own online learning initiatives. They can host courses using their own version of Lagunita –(or their own installation of Open edX), —within their own IT infrastructure, or by using a third-party hosting service. Organizations running the Open edX platform retain control of their own branding and of their relationships with their own students and other associated users. Data generated by particular instances of Open edX is are solely in the control of the organizations that produce those instances.
Universities and other organizations using Open edX also control the license for their content. They may release or redistribute that content in a variety of forms— such as original, revised, or remixed—to multiple audiences without special permissions from a platform owner. This flexibility gives educators the freedom to experiment and to greatly expand the reach of their instructional materials.
Lagunita is one of five platforms VPTL currently supports for delivery of digital course content. The others are Canvas, CourseWork, Coursera, and NovoEd (formerly Venture Lab).

Further, I'm still asking myself what goes wrong with LiVES. When we install it, the package dependencies insist on installing a PulseAudio server to the Linux environment, even though it could be my intention just to connect to the external one, provided by 'XSDL'. Otherwise, LiVES refuses to use PulseAudio as its sound-output.
But when I run LiVES, the GUI starts up fine, and also guides me through some initial configuration steps. Yet, when I next load a video-clip and try to preview that, the playback stutters – at a rapid rate of short bursts.
This is not entirely unexpected, but I'm still having thoughts as to whether it could be corrected. Because I'm assuming that the developers of LiVES made no programming errors, I would need to find, where my jury-rigged configuration is failing, before I could get the latter application to work.
Since my last update, I've learned a few more things about LiVES in this configuration. One fact seems to be, that if I use the preloaded library to offer shared-memory support, doing so does in fact improve the speed with which the Video-Output-Plug-Ins render video. This is the first proof I've received, that Linux applications will use shared memory, even though according to the GUI, no explicit mention may be made of it.
But the Audio-Stuttering won't stop. Some references suggest that this behavior is 'normal', if the PulseAudio Client is assuming a sample-rate of 44100Hz, while the PulseAudio Server is running at 48kHz. But even if I resample the Audio – Successfully – to 48kHz, the stuttering still doesn't stop.
And I've made a discovery about LiVES in this configuration, which is worse than what I knew before: If I tell it to go from Clip Editing Mode into Multi-Tracking Mode, LiVES just crashes my whole LXDE desktop. And the Video-Editor is useless, unless we can eventually go into Multi-Tracking Mode.

Homeopathy: The Bhaba Atomic Research Centre Study
J Altern Complement Med. 2011 Aug;17(8):705-10.
An exploratory study on scientific investigations in homeopathy using medical analyzer.
Mishra N, Muraleedharan KC, Paranjpe AS, Munta DK, Singh H, Nayak C.
Regional Research Institute for Homoeopathy, CCRH, Mumbai, India.
The action of homeopathic medicines, in ultra-high dilution, is not directly observable. An attempt was made to explore autonomic response of selective homeopathic medicines, in healthy persons, using Medical Analyzer System (Electronics Division, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Mumbai, India).
The objective of the study was to observe the action of homeopathic medicines on physiologic variability of heart rate and blood flow.
MATERIAL AND METHODS:
Pre- and postinterventional variability spectra of heart rate and blood flow of 77 subjects were recorded with the Medical Analyzer System, administering homeopathic preparations of Aconitum napellus (6c, 10M), Arsenicum album (200c, 1M), Gelsemium sempervirens (200c, 1M), Phosphorus (200c, 1M), Pulsatilla nigricans (200c) and Sulphur (200c, 1M) versus placebo control. The amplitude of the peaks viz. low-frequency, medium-frequency, and high-frequency was measured for postintervention analysis. An increase in the amplitude of any valid peak by 100% or a decrease by 50% was considered as significant change.
Aconitum napellus produced a response in heart rate variability (HRV) with 30c potency and in blood flow variability with 1M potency. Sulphur 200c and 1M, Gelsemium 200c and Pulsatilla 200c, produced a 62.5% response in HRV against the placebo response of 16.6%. Gelsemium, Phosphorus, and Sulphur produced a response in blood flow variability with a 1M potency, similar to the response of Aconitum napellus 1M.
These data suggest that it is possible to record the response of homeopathic medicines on physiologic parameters of the autonomic nervous system.

'Medical Analyzer' Proves Potentized Drugs 'Works'- But The Real Question Is 'How Homeopathy Works'.
Posted 09/01/2012 by Chandran Nambiar in Homeopathy Articles. 2 Comments
http://dialecticalohmeopathy.wordpress.com/2012/01/09/medical-analyzer-proves-potentized-drugs-works-but-the-real-question-is-how-homeopathy-works/
Research has been reported to have done and still going on at BARC and TATA INSTITUTE OF RESEARCH, about how different strengths of different medicines produces different changes in our body, and also how same potency of different medicine produces different impressions . A prominent section of homeopathic community enthusiastically celebrate this study as a 'great fundamental research' in homeopathy. Some of them even claim "this study has resolved all the riddles of homeopathy scientifically".
Even though this study is useful in proving that homeopathic potentized drugs really work by observing the changes happening in physiological values, it no way help us to prove what is actually happening during potentization, what is the exact active principles contained in potentized drugs or, what is the mechanism of molecular processes involved in homeopathic therapeutics. They only answer the question "does homeopathy works?" But they do not answer the basic question "how homeopathy works".
Media reported as follows: BARC Medical Analyzer to enable objective study of homoeopathy
"Mumbai: Use of Medical Analyser developed by Bhabha Atomic Research Centre has shown that it would enable a better understanding of the selective action of homoeopathic medicines in different strengths on human beings.
Researches done by BARC, Regional Research Institute of Central Council for Research in homoeopathy, Mumbai, National Institute of Homoeopathy, Kolkata and Fr Muller Homoeopathic Medical College (FMHMC), Mangalore have indicated potential use of physiological variability in fundamental research in homoeopathy.
"The data reveals the selective action of homoeopathic medicines in different potencies especially in Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Blood Flow Variability (BFV) and Morphology Index Variability (MIV)," Dr Srinath Rao of FMHMC said during the Meeting on Advanced applications of Physiological variability held at BARC here last week.
Homoeopathy medicines beyond 12th potency do not contain even a single atom or molecule of the medicinal substance. Yet these medicines are effective in the treatment of large number of diseases and particularly the ones that are considered incurable in modern medicine.
Electronic division of BARC has been actively working on this aspect of homoeopathic medicines for the past three decades and their initial experiments with potencised medicines have recorded 50 to 150 per cent increase in the blood flow in affected parts of the body within 30 minutes of the indicated medicine in variety of patients, Rao said in his paper on `Fundamental Research in Homoeopathy: Experiments with SULPHUR` presented at the Meet.
"The reproducibility of these experiments largely depended upon the choice of indicated medicine, which was determined subjectively," Rao said.
But with the development of Medical Analyser, BARC scientists, headed by J D Jindal, have shown that physiological variability show change in the spectrum caused by randomly selected potentised medicine and randomly selected control subjects (volunteers) in 2004 and "this opened the door to us for using physiological variability in the field of homoeopathy," Rao said.
"We used in our experiments with SULPHUR, Anu Photo Rheograph developed by BARC which is based on the principles of Photo Plethysmography also developed by it," Rao said.
Dr Nirupama Mishra and colleagues from National Institute of Homoeopathy, C Nayak from the Department of AYUSH along with other private doctors carried out an exploratory scientific trial on 72 healthy volunteers, studied different potencies of Aconitum Napellus and Nux Vomica with the placebo control.
Homoeopathy is one of the leading alternative systems of medicine worldwide introduced by Dr Samuel Christian Hahnemann (1755-1843). Since its introduction to the mankind, its basic principles have not changed as homoeopathy is primarily a specialised system of rational therapy based on fixed and definite laws of nature.
Homoeopathy has been mired in controversy due to its concept of drug dynamisation leading to ultra diluted form of medicines. "Since these kinds of medicines do not come under any measurable pharmacological standards, the attention of scientific fraternity has been focused on this apparent lack of existence of material substance in homoeopathic medicine and to its potency concept in the light of Avogadro`s law, rather than on its effectiveness," Mishra said.
Both Rao and Mishra pointed out that it was necessary that more medicines and potencies are to be investigated with this scientific tool for the welfare of the humanity."
BARC develops new medical instruments:
Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) has developed a host of new generation medical instruments opening fresh dimensions to understand health care.
The approach of medical practitioners will now be more objective in terms of diagnosis and action of different drugs on human body, said BARC officials.
"Mobile ECG, Plethysmograph, Peripheral Pulse Analyser (3-channel), Tele Stress monitor, and Intent Detection System are few technologies BARC has developed. Many of these have been transferred to manufacturers," said BARC director RK Sinha at a two-day meet on 'Advanced Applications of Physiological Variability' organised by the Electronics Division.
The Electronic Division began development work in the field of Physiological Variability in active collaboration with city'sGrantMedicalCollegeand the JJ Hospital, All India Institute of Medical Sciences (New Delhi),FatherMullerMedicalCollege(Mangalore), among others.
"These instruments, which have been tried and tested, have proved that even the Science of Homeopathy, Ayurveda and their effectiveness can be understood objectively," Sinha said.
What is BARC Medical Analyzer Software?
Variability is the sign of life; therefore higher variability in physiological parameters is generally an indicator of better health. The use of variability for the diagnosis of several diseases is age old. Because of great potential of this technique, heart rate variability monitoring is a routine feature in the patient monitoring systems available in the market for employment in intensive care units and intensive cardiac care units. Bhabha Atomic Research Centre has integrated cardiac output, stroke volume/peripheral blood flow variability; with heart rate variability for the study of these changes in variety of diseases in a PC based Software developed called Medical Analyser. It has unique feature that it yields heart rate variability, cardiac output variability, stroke volume variability / peripheral blood flow variability from a single data acquisition session from the patient when used with Impedance Cardiovasograph hardware. The data acquisition is controlled by the PC, serially connected to the acquisition unit. The variability analysis and transfer to database is performed by the PC with the help of user-friendly software.
Principle: Short term analysis of variations in a physiological
parameter in time and frequency domain
Parameters (Hardware dependent): Heart Rate, Stroke Volume, Cardiac Output, Peripheral Blood Flow with Impedance Cardiovasograph and Heart Rate, Peripheral Blood Flow with Oxygen Saturation Monitor
Method of Analysis: Fast Fourier Transform
MY COMMENT ON THIS REPORT:
Barc Medical analyzer enables homeopathic researchers to observe the changes in physiological values such as Heart Rate Variability (HRV), Blood Flow Variability (BFV) and Morphology Index Variability (MIV) caused by administration of potentized homeopathic drugs. It is a great achievement, since it provides objective evidence that potentized drugs are capable of producing some sort of responses in the human organism. That proves 'homeopathy works'!
As Dr. Rao has reported to have confessed, 'the reproducibility of these experiments largely depended upon the choice of indicated medicine, which was determined subjectively". This inconsistency in 'reproducibility of results' attributed to the 'subjectivity' factor is the greatest limitation of 'medical analyzer study' of homeopathic drugs. That means, if our selection of similimum was not exact, or the potency of drug used was not genuine, we may fail in producing expected results. Such multiple variables make this study unreliable in reaching any clear conclusions. When we fail to produce results, we cannot say whether it was due to wrong selection of similimum, or due to the use of wrongly potentized or wrongly labeled drugs, which are not so uncommon in homeopathic drug industry.
Any fundamental research in homeopathy should provide answers to three vital questions.
1. What happens during potentization?
2. What is the exact active principles contained in potentized drugs?
3. What is the exact molecular mechanism by which these active principles act up on the organism therapeutically?
Unless a research could not help in addressing these three basic questions, it cannot be considered a 'fundamental research in homeopathy'. Hence, studies conducted using Barc Medical Analyzer cannot be called 'fundamental research in homeopathy'. Such baseless claims would give wrong messages to the community.
Did the researches really address these three vital questions? If 'yes', what are their answers?
My answer to these basic questions:
1. Potentization involves the process of 'molecular imprinting'.
2. Active priniciples of potentized drugs are 'molecular imprints' of constituent molecules of drugs used for potentization.
3. These 'molecular imprints' act as artificial binding sites for pathogenic molecules, and relieves biological molecules from pathologic molecular inhibitions.
I would like to know the comments of 'fundamental researchers' on these concepts I am putting forward.
We all know after 12c drugs does not contains any molecules. We all know our potentized drugs really intervene the biochemical process of living organism, and rectify pathological molecular errors.
HOW HOMEOPATHY WORKS? Answering this question should be the agenda of any 'fundamental' research project in homeopathy. That is the FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION of homeopathy now.

Also, thank you to everyone, new friends and old, who helped me learn more about PUPPIES! I have an update about that as well as another fairly big update, that I can't talk about until tomorrow or Friday. NO I AM NOT PREGGO. Bah. And no guessing if you already know.
Moving on, I ran 9 miles before work today (maybe I showed up around 10, but I have my priorities people!) and I have been bouncing off the walls ever since.
So, I'd like to share with you that I love you, I hope you have a great day, and that I think you're doing a great job. Whatever it is you're doing, you're just doing it fantastically. Keep at it.
Put that in your pipe and we'll chat soon.
I love you too alison! you're fantastic.
That just reminded me of running with you one time as you sang "Eye of the Tiger" to try to get me to go at your speed.
I did it out of love Sara! LOVE!

We hope you guys have a pretty good handle on the root 6 pentatonic scale! In this lesson we're going to introduce some patterns you can use to practice your pentatonic scale and get more fluid with it. Many solos are built off of patterns like these so it's important to practice them. This one involves going up four notes in the scale and then backing up one before repeating.
Use a metronome and practice this pattern at a slow speed at first, maybe play quarter notes at 70bpm. As a goal, try to get it up to 80bpm before moving on!

The Wreck of the Griffon
by Jim Kennard April 3, 2015
Book cover of The Wreck of the Griffon
Cris Kohl & Joan Forsberg
Cris Kohl and wife Joan Forsberg have conducted over 20 years of research in order to write their new book The Wreck of the Griffon, the explorer La Salle's ship that disappeared in 1679 on its return voyage from Lake Michigan.
The Griffon was built by La Salle near Niagara Falls and was the first ship to sail on the upper Great Lakes. On its maiden voyage, it sailed across Lake Erie, up the Detroit and St. Clair Rivers, and across Lake Huron and Lake Michigan. On its way back to Niagara from Green Bay, the Griffon disappeared with its entire crew and valuable cargo of furs commencing the centuries-long quest to discover its fate.
The loss of the Griffon is one of the great mysteries of the Great Lakes. Now, more than 335 years later, the wreck of the Griffon has not definitively been found. It has become one of the most sought after and perhaps one of the most "found" shipwrecks in the Great Lakes!
This book relates the fascinating story of the Griffon, its background, and information about the 22 claims of discovery made in the past 200 years. One of the most intriguing is that the wreckage of the Griffon may have been found nearly 100 years ago but went unrecognized. The details of these discoveries along with numerous illustrations are contained in the pages of this thought provoking book.
THE WRECK OF THE GRIFFON by Cris Kohl and Joan Forsberg, published and distributed by Seawolf Communications Inc. 224 pages. $19.95 plus $3 S&H. Order from www.seawolfcommunications.com or call them at 630-293-8996.

Indian-cemeteries.org has hundreds of transcribed memorials from cemeteries all over India. This website is now archived, however most of the internal information still appears to be accessible.
If your ancestors died during the First, or Second World War whilst serving with Commonwealth armed forces (for the six member counties Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand, South Africa and the United Kingdom, but also including some other Commonwealth forces), then their graves will be maintained in special cemeteries by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. These are scattered throughout Asia (and other parts of the world) and are beautifully maintained. The dates covered for commemoration on the CWGC website are 4 August 1914 to 31 August 1921 and 3 September 1939 to 31 December 1947. There were some additional military burials in cemeteries maintained by the CWGC, outside these dates, which are also maintained, but the names will not be included in the database on the website.

About Manikarnika Devi Temple
The Manikarnika Ghat, like all the other ghats in Varanasi, is surrounded by a fascinating mythical story that also explains how it got its name.
When Goddess Adi Shakti, or Goddess Sati, leaped into the flames and immolated herself, Lord Shiva is said to have transported her burning remains to the Himalayas. He was engulfed in interminable grief there. Lord Vishnu, moved by his misery, unleashed his Divine Chakra (one of his weapons), severing Goddess Adi Shakti's body into 51 parts. Each of the locations where her fragments fell on Earth was designated as a Shakti Peeth. Because her earrings dropped at this ghat, it was designated as a Shakti Peeth and named Manikarnika, as Manikarna means earrings in Sanskrit. It is where the idol of Manikarnika Devi is situated.
Manikarnika Ghat is one of the oldest ghats in Varanasi and has been given the highest ranking among other ghats by Hindu sacred books. If a person is cremated here, it is said that he immediately attains moksha (salvation). The Scindia Ghat and the Dashashwamedh Ghat surround it.

Klinge Corp offers a complete cold-chain solution to ultra-low temperature storage in ISO and sea containers. As leaders of the industry, we're constantly testing the limits of freezer unit technology to provide the most effective and efficient freezer units for your storage and shipping container needs.
Our portable commercial freezer units are used primarily by seafood and meat industries for safely freezing, transporting, storing and thawing of food. These portable freezer units can also keep ice core samples and deep freezing gel packs (used for transport of pharmaceuticals) at their required temperatures.
Fill out the form or call +1 717-840-4500 to learn more. If you already know what you need, you can Request a Quote or Request Service today!
Our line of commercial freezer units includes portable blast freezers; electrical refrigeration units for transport on vehicles, ships and rail; cold storage modules; and quick thaw units. Our units are made to fit a variety of ISO container dimensions and specifications to ensure we have a product to solve your cold-storage needs.
Browse our freezer units below or contact us today at +1 717-840-4500 to talk to our experts and determine which of our portable refrigeration units is right for your needs.
» Designed especially for mounting in customer built-in rooms or on standard insulated containers.
Fish and shellfish: Commercial fisheries around the world rely on our sea freezer units to bring products safely to market without compromising quality or freshness. Our portable blast freezer brings packaged, filleted, or whole fish to temperatures as low as -60ºC (-76ºF). Doing so quickly is critical to preventing damage. By optimizing airflow in the unit, the freezing process is expedited, leading to a more saleable product and less risk overall as fish move through a global supply chain and onto diners' plates. Our freezer containers are suitable for use with everything from prize Bluefin tuna to sardines and filleted fish, as well as packaged shellfish, cephalopods, and other products.
Meat and poultry: Meat and poultry must be kept cold or frozen during transit to prevent the growth of bacteria and foodborne pathogens. Transporting meat and poultry is arguably more complicated than fish, as different products — and different supply chains — have different temperature requirements. For example, prime-grade beef meat may move from the slaughterhouse to market in a matter of days, and may only require cooling to stay fresh. Commercial frozen or processed food products, on the other hand, can spend weeks in transit. What is critical in both scenarios is that temperatures remain stable and predictable. For this reason, Klinge Corporation freezer units play a vital role in shipping meat and poultry around the world.
Other frozen foods: Other frozen food includes ice cream and desserts, fruits and berries, packaged meals and pizzas, and more. Spend a few minutes in any grocery store, and you'll immediately see the variety and diversity of products that are shipped and sold frozen. The Food Safety Modernization Act outlines temperature standards for transporting frozen foods. As well, different frozen foods also have different shelf lives — for example, pork and fatty fish products experience a significant drop-off in quality after six months in frozen storage. Packaged chicken and citrus fruit concentrate, on the other hand, can last for a year or longer.
Chemicals and pharmaceuticals: Our freezer containers aren't just for frozen food transport. They also play an important role in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries, or any other application in which sensitive products must be kept in freezing temperatures. Certain vaccines and other biological products are an excellent example of this. Each year, an estimated 4% of pharmaceutical products are discarded due to problems in the cold chain. Given the health and economic implications of this, any shipping container transporting frozen medical products must be equipped with precise controls and, ideally, dual-redundant freezer systems to prevent failure.
These are just a few of the many uses of our freezer units. With more than 30 years of experience, we excel at matching our customers with the right tools for their operation. Let us help you take the guesswork out of maintaining safe and stable temperatures during shipping. Contact a Klinge Corporation representative to learn more about who we are and how we can help.

Czech Resistance
Prague in World War II Tour
October 27, 2017 by Jennifer Holik 3 Comments
Johan and I got married and went on honeymoon in Prague. Initially I thought we'd do some ancestor hunting for me. As far as I've researched (back into early 1800s), my family came from Bohemia – later Czechoslovakia. Then we decided no work, no war, and no genealogy. We would only be dreamy honeymooners exploring the city. However we always go with the flow and see what shows up. On our second day in Prague we stumbled upon a brochure for the tour company World War II in Prague. The brochure was exciting and well done. All you had to do was show up at the tour meeting place at the time you wished to go and pay there. How does it get any better than that?
On a rainy Sunday morning at 10:00 at the Powder Tower (just down the street from our hotel,) we met Hannah, our tour guide. There was a small group of less than 10 people which was perfect for asking questions. Our tour started at the Powder Tower and Hannah showed us a map of Czechoslovakia and the surrounding countries from 1938. She began telling us stories of how the annexation occurred and what happened to the Czech people, especially those in Prague.
After a serious history lesson about Czechoslovakia and its importance to Hitler's war plans, we began walking to the Old Town Square where the Nazis rolled through Prague and began taking over. As we walked, Hannah stopped and pointed out different war memorials on the buildings, especially those for the resistance. Those in the resistance greeted each other with a specific hand signal, as seen in the memorials. Most of the signs we saw, with or without the hand on them, contained names of those who died in Prague fighting for freedom, many on the last days of the war as the Germans were killing everyone they could in an attempt to save themselves.
Our tour included a visit to the underground where the resistance met and many families whose houses had been destroyed, fled during the occupation. The underground took us two layers below the current Prague street level. The first level was the Gothic cellar. The second, the Roman cellar, beneath the Old Town Hall. Prague has a series of connected cellars which made it difficult for the Germans to know how many resistance members there were at one time. We had eaten the night before in Roman cellars and I had no idea then of their significance.
In the cellars I could feel the people who had once been there. Perhaps from the war and perhaps from other times. So many were silenced I discovered as I felt that energy in my throat. Others gave up their power willingly or unwillingly and were full of fear, as I felt that energy in my solar plexus. I could almost see and hear the mothers with crying children in the cellars. See the people wandering with lost looks on their faces. And the sick and dying. There were moments I wasn't sure I could stand any longer in certain areas of the cellar due to the energy coming up. So many souls asking for peace and to be remembered.
After the Old Town Hall cellars, we walked through more of Prague toward the river. We learned the story of Heydrich's assassination and the role of the resistance in that attempt. Hannah had photos from the war and showed them each step of the tour. We were able to have a "then and now" visual of what happened. You can see many of these photos on the tour company's website.
We stopped in front of a building where Franz Kafka lived, which was the Gestapo Headquarters. Across the street from this was the building, which is still standing, which had radio transmitters on the roof for the resistance to use.
Prior to the end of our tour, we walked through the Jewish Quarter and learned more about the fate of the Jews in Prague. We learned how they worked with the resistance to stall production and fight the Nazis. We saw several monument stones on buildings for Jews who died, and the Stolpersteine in the sidewalks. I've seen more of these in Amsterdam than I did in Prague. Prague did not have a huge Jewish population during the war, but many were shipped to camps. It is interesting there are not more Stolpersteine. Our final stop was near the SS Headquarters, which was housed in the now Charles University Law Faculty building.
The tour took about two hours and our heads were filled with so much information that I asked Johan to start writing some of the highlights down as soon as we found a place for lunch. I learned so much about Czechoslovakia during the war. I'm interested in learning more, especially about the resistance and the people who lived there during the occupation.
The tour made me wonder about my own family who never emigrated to the U.S., specifically Chicago. Why did some choose to leave between 1865-1925? Why did other stay? Was there family still living near Prague during the war? My Tregler line lived not far from Prague in 1925. What about the families who lived in the country? What was life like for them? I wonder now too if any of my grandparents kept in touch with anyone in Czechoslovakia in the 1930s and beyond. They are all gone so I cannot ask.
So many questions and no answers. However, the next thing I can do is hire a Czech researcher to look over what has been done and see what else can be found. Then arrange for a guide or the researcher to take me to the places my families lived on another trip. To walk in their footsteps as I've walked in the footsteps of my WWI and WWII family members in Europe. What answers await me? What new discoveries? What healing will take place?
Have you ever taken a tour in Europe unrelated to your family that left you with a million questions?

Document Approval and Workflow on Google Drive
Blog: Joget Unplugged
Cloud file storage is increasingly important in today's computing environment, be it for personal, small business or enterprise use. Services like Dropbox, Box.com, Microsoft OneDrive and Google Drive are leading the way. Google Drive is Google's popular file storage service, and is seamlessly integrated with Google Apps.
If you are using Google Apps for Work, having files stored and synchronised seamlessly in the cloud makes collaboration and document sharing easy. But if you need document approvals and routing, using Google Apps Script to enable workflow is too complex and not for everyone. There is a better way to manage the sending of documents for approval within the organisation and that's through Joget Workflow for Google Apps.
Visually design apps with integrated support for Google Drive
Joget Workflow for Google Apps is a cloud platform to build apps and automate processes. Seamlessly integrated with Google Apps for Work, you can visually design your own custom applications. With Google Drive Integration, you can drag-and-drop a file upload that directly uploads and reads files from Google Drive.
To set up, visit Google Apps Marketplace and install Joget Workflow for Google Apps in a few steps.
When it is up and running, try to create an app from scratch using the App Generator following the Overview Tutorial (kudos if you can get it done in 10 minutes or less). In the Form Builder, drag-and-drop the Google Drive File Upload element into your form.
Configure the element with just a few simple properties.
From the front-end, users will be able to upload and store files on Google Drive.
Install apps from the Joget Marketplace
An alternative to creating an app using the App Generator is to download a ready made app from the Joget Marketplace. Just install the desired app, edit an existing form and add in the Google Drive File Upload element.
Also, if you need for your apps and data to be accessible on the go, the Google Drive File Upload element just added in the form is automatically mobile ready, and can be accessed using a mobile browser, or via the Joget Workflow Mobile App (available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store).
The addition of Google Drive support for apps developed on Joget Workflow for Google Apps, will hopefully make document approval and routing easy. More information on Joget Workflow can be found at http://www.joget.org.

Day three on the five days of scary movies.
It's been a spooky week so far, and it's about to get worse with our number 3 movie. . . .
Yikes. Can we say REDRUM?
Oh, man, those stares Jack Nicholson throws at the camera. . . Holy-freaking-cow. And the trademark face in the slightly open doorway.
This movie almost made it to the number one spot . . . . . .
What'd you think of The Shining?

"If our free society is to endure, and I know it will, those who govern must recognize that the Framers of the Constitution limited their power in order to preserve human dignity and the air of freedom which is our proudest heritage. The task of protecting these principles does not rest solely with nine Supreme Court Justices, or even with the cadre of state and federal judges. We all share the burden."
— My Life on the Court in Reason & Passion, 17-21 (E. Joshua Rosenkranz & Bernard Schwartz eds., W.W. Norton & Company, 1997).
". . . the Constitution will endure as a vital charter of human liberty as long as there are those with the courage to defend it, the vision to interpret it, and the fidelity to live by it."
— Reason, Passion, and "The Progress of the Law," The Forty-Second Annual Benjamin N. Cardozo Lecture, ( September 17, 1987).
"Only by remaining open to the entreaties of reason and passion, of logic and experience, can a judge come to understand the complex human meaning of a rich term such as 'liberty,' and only with such understanding can courts fulfill their constitutional responsibility to protect that value"
— Reason, Passion, and "The Progress of the Law," The Forty-Second Annual Benjamin N. Cardozo Lecture, (September 17, 1987).
"The well-springs of imagination, of course, lie less in logic than in the realm of human experience – the realm in which law ultimately operates and has meaning. Sensitivity to one's intuitive and passionate responses, and awareness of the range of human experience, is therefore not only an inevitable but a desirable part of the judicial process, an aspect more to be nurtured than feared."
"If there is a bedrock principle underlying the First Amendment, it is that government may not prohibit the expression of an idea simply because society finds the idea itself offensive or disagreeable."
"…debate on public issues should be uninhibited, robust, and wide-open and it may well include vehement, caustic, and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials."
"From its founding the nation's basic commitment has been to foster the dignity and well-being of all persons within its borders. The same governmental interests that counsel the provision of welfare, counsel as well its uninterrupted provision to those eligible to receive it; pre-termination evidentiary hearings are indispensable to that end."
"I think it plain that law students can be expected to make a significant contribution, quantitatively and qualitatively, to the representation of the poor in many areas."

Acadians
Acadians sentence example
Though this province had been ceded to Great Britain in 1713 many of the Acadians had refused to accept British sovereignty.
In 1755 a small colony of the exiled Acadians settled here.
Shirley with Massachusetts troops also took part in the Oswego expedition of 1755; and Massachusetts proposed, and lent the chief assistance in the expedition of Nova Scotia in 1755 which ended in the removal of the Acadians.
His Pelerinage Au Pays D'Evangeline (1888) Is A Splendid Defence Of The Unfortunate Acadians; And All His Books Attract The Reader By Their Charm Of Style And Personality.
Prior to 1752, in which year there were only twenty-five houses with two hundred inhabitants, the growth of the city had indeed been slow; but only a year or two later wheat loaded in its harbour was for the first time shipped to Scotland; during the war between the French and the English at this time some of the unfortunate Acadians found new homes here; in 1767 Baltimore was made the county seat; by the beginning of the War of Independence its population had grown to 6755; and in 1780 it was made a port of entry.
The Acadians (see § History below) to-day are settled mainly in St Mary, Acadia and Vermilion parishes; lesser numbers are in Avoyelles and St Landry; and some are scattered in various other parishes.
These French-speaking populations are typically descendants of Acadians who emigrated from France in the 17th and 18th centuries, so the form of French they speak is not exactly like what is spoken in France.
Charles de Menou Charnisay
Charles de Menou Charnisay, Seigneur d'Aulnay (ca. 1604-1650), was a governor of Acadia, a territory in the northeast of Canada. He was responsible for a solid and well-rooted establishment of French colonists in Nova Scotia.
A popular local colorist during her lifetime, Katherine Chopin (1851-1904) is best known today for her psychological novel The Awakening (1899) and for such often-anthologized short stories as "Desiree's Baby" and "The Story of an Hour."

Friends of the Earth (Melbourne)'s renewable energy campaign
Energy in Victoria – The Facts
coal vs renewables, community support for windfarms, gas vs renewables, health impacts, Landscape Guardians, NSW, Planning approval process, renewables & employment, turbine set back distance, wind farms & agriculture, wind farms & health, wind farms & noise
NSW: wind supporters, speak up!
The opening for submissions on the NSW wind guidelines has brought out many supporters of wind to highlight some of the practical reasons why they think wind energy will benefit them and their community.
Predictably, there are also numerous submissions opposing wind energy.
You can see all the submissions online, and download the draft guidelines, at the NSW Planning Department website.
You can see the NSW Nature Conservation Council's comments on the guidelines here. Our submission is also available for download here.
We encourage all NSW wind energy supporters to make your own submission, even if it's only a paragraph! Your submissions/comments can be mailed (Policy, Planning Systems and Reform, Department of Planning and Infrastructure, GPO Box 39, Sydney NSW 2001) or emailed to innovation@planning.nsw.gov.au
Below are a few stand-out comments from some of the submissions we've read (which isn't all of them yet!). Most alarmingly (or is that amusingly), we have been alerted to the dangers of fan death…
Farmers who want wind energy:
"We can put 7 silos within a neighbors' view and we don't need their approval. People build houses on their farms and don't seek a neighbors' approval as to where it goes. You are removing our right to earn additional income for our family business."
"I am a 43 year old grazier within the uungula windfarm at Mudgee, which our land might have wind turbines, depnding on the finalised guide lines. i have traveled to spain and waubra in victoria to view, listen, and learn about windfarms. the livestock graze and camp under the turbines in 30km hour winds with no hesitation, and the locals i talked to had no problems with the wind farm. therefore i support and encourage wind farms in our country for green energy. but i dont support the heavy guide lines for wind farms which are proposed by the nsw goverment. the 35db restriction is a insult when the coal mines in this area have less restriction then wind farms will. does the state goverment want to force the industry out of the state . i hope they start thinking about the people who wish to support wind farms on there land and give the grazier a bit of a go for once."
"These guidelines are not fair on the part of the farmer who would host turbines with other farmers or occupants within a 2km radius having to big of a say of what happens, it is taking away a farmers rights. I am a farmer is being targeted for turbines and i don"t want other people telling me what i can and can"t do with my farm. I see it as a great positive for the farmers and communities. Do not make it to hard on renewable energy we don"t want more holes in the ground."
"The draft guidelines are far too excessive for these projects. Once again we have government and bureaucrats bowing to the minorities in our communities. This is an opportunity for farmers to drought proof their farms. Extra income will also help environmentally eg running less stock in lean pasture; stronger plans for eradication of noxious weeds and also a reduction in mental health issues. The two kilometre set back should be reduced and the effect on visual value should be scrapped altogether. Who has ever paid me for looking at my farm and structures have been built interrupting my view and no compensation was called for."
Many submissions compare the onerous requirements on wind developments with those for coal and gas and other developments:
"For wind turbines there must be landowner permission. CSG mines, infrastructure and pipelines should only be allowed with landowner permission."
"Visual amenity or noise have never been allowed to stop open cut coal mines or coal-fired power stations, as these were deemed 'essential infrastructure'. However, wind farms in a climate change world are far more essential than coal mines."
"The visual guidelines include such things as 'potential for visual clutter' and 'possible blade glint', ridiculously strict guidelines that are not applied to coal-fired power stations or open cut coal mines or coal seam gas installations."
"The Petroleum (onshore) Act 1991 (NSW) only requires a 200 metre buffer between a well head of a CSG mine and development. What is so special about wind turbines?"
On the economic benefits:
"Australia was once a leader in renewable energy development, but it has now become a laggard. Lets change that."
"Wind farms create long term skilled employment opportunities in local communities. The proposal would have a chilling effect on this source of local employment."
"The most devastating effect will be on small-scale projects that potentially provide the greatest benefit for local communities. Local communities are a vital driving force behind every government."
"The local economic benefits of wind farms are not mentioned in the guidelines, despite the massive potential for increases in employment."
"We are always trying to improve our facilities at the hall, new kitchen, public toilets, cricket ground, play equipment, tennis court, and we are hoping that the proposed Rugby Wind Farm will assist with their Community Funding proposals. The National party promotes decentralization and wind energy offers local people the chance to succeed in this."
On the noise and "health" issues:
"Under the disguise of the precautionary principle, the guidelines lend government credibility to the myth that wind farms are detrimental to human health."
"The noise standards are unrealistic and unnecessary. They will stop wind farms that will have almost no audible impact inside any dwellings."
"Reference to the precautionary principle in regards to supposed health issues undermines public confidence and I wonder would this approach then be adopted in regard to other public health scares such as emissions from telco tower developments or in the health area on inoculations for children?"
"We are extremely disappointed with the misinformation the Landscape Guardians are spreading amongst our local community, creating unnecessary fear. The Landscape Guardians have injected funds from outside this area to create a false view that their opinion is the majority view."
On consultation and planning process (including some disgruntled wind energy opponents!)
"The Guidelines claim that there has been community consultation in their preparation. I live in Goulburn, right in the centre of wind farm development, and apart from the noisy one sided rants by the Landscape Guardians, I have not heard of any such consultation in our area."
"The Department needs to acknowledge that we landholders live in an industrialised landscape and as such, wind turbines do not change this."
"Imagine trying to build a road like the Pacific Highway from Sydney to Brisbane if you had to prepare a photomontage from every household within 2km of it first!"
"Local councils resource the Joint Regional Planning Panels… Council does not receive any development application fees from State significant development and as such would not have the resources to undertake the role required of it under JRPP procedures."
"Congratulations, Sir Humphrey Appleby would be proud. Rather than producing a strong, certain, and straightforward set of Guidelines that both protects the safety and amenity of Tablelands communities (surely the Government's prime duty of care) but also lets the wind energy industry know precisely where it can and cannot build its controversial and socially divisive industrial projects, instead you have proposed a "dog's breakfast" of uncertainty on both sides"
"Although it is clear that a boundary has to be set, and a 2km limit may be reasonable in most cases, a number of site-specific factors will affect the appropriateness of any limin, in particular, landscape factors may significantly alter the impact of proposed turbines on neighbouring residences and a measure of distance alone may fail to capture these impacts."
…and don't forget the danger of fan death!
"Given that a complete absence of scientific evidence regarding the negative health impacts of wind turbines is sufficient reason to create a 2 kilometre setback for wind turbine generators from human residences, I would like to take this opportunity to submit a proposition, and a profoundly important one, at that. "Fan Death" is a phenomenon that is reported predominantly in South Korea, involving electric fans being left on overnight, chopping up the oxygen molecules in the room, and causing asphyxiation to those in the bedroom."Some close-minded and under-zealous critics have stated that there is no possible physiological mechanism through which an electric fan could suffocate humans, and that there is no published scientific evidence of a causal link between fans and suffocation. They also point out that this does not occur throughout the rest of the world, where electric fans are used regularly. As you well know, absence of evidence is not evidence of absence, and therefore the jury is still out on the health impacts from electric fans. When it comes to people's health, I hope you really do take the precautionary approach, every time..
"Thus, I propose a two kilometre setback for the installation and operation of electric fans. I hope you can understand the importance of basing governmental policy on small quantities of anecdotal reports. The greatest moments of progress in society always stem from the instantaneous disregard of scientific inquiry. I sincerely anticipate your inclusion of electric fans into the draft NSW planning guidelines."

National Academies panel on securing the vote includes Princeton computer scientist Appel
Andrew Appel, Department of Computer Science
Sept. 24, 2018 3:21 p.m.
Andrew Appel, the Eugene Higgins Professor of Computer Science, served as a member of the National Academies' Committee on the Future of Voting, which released a major report Sept. 6.
Andrew Appel
Frank Wojciechowski
The following is reprinted from the Freedom to Tinker blog at Princeton's Center for Information Technology Policy.
In this November's election, could a computer hacker, foreign or domestic, alter votes (in the voting machine) or prevent people from voting (by altering voter registrations)? What should we do to protect ourselves?
The National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine have released a report, Securing the Vote: Protecting American Democracy, about the cybervulnerabilities in U.S. election systems and how to defend them. The committee was chaired by the presidents of Indiana University and Columbia University, and the members included five computer scientists, a mathematician, two social scientists, a law professor, and three state and local election administrators. I served on this committee, and I am confident that the report presents the clear consensus of the scientific community, as represented not only by the members of the committee but also the 14 external reviewers — election officials, computer scientists, experts on elections — that were part of the National Academies' process.
The 124-page report, available for free download, lays out the scientific basis for our conclusions and our 55 recommendations. We studied primarily the voting process; we did not address voter-ID laws, gerrymandering, social-media disinformation or campaign financing.
There is no national election system in the U.S.; each state or county runs its own elections. But in the 21st century, state and local election administrators face new kinds of threats. In the 19th and 20th centuries elections did not face the threat of vote manipulation (and voter-registration tampering) from highly sophisticated adversaries anywhere in the world. Most state and local election administrators know they must improve their cybersecurity and adopt best practices, and the federal government can (and should) offer assistance. But it's impossible to completely prevent all attacks; we must be able to run elections even if the computers might be hacked; we must be able to detect and correct errors in the computer tabulation.
Therefore, our key recommendations [numbered according to their position in the report] are:
4.11. Elections should be conducted with human-readable paper ballots. These may be marked by hand or by machine (using a ballot-marking device); they may be counted by hand or by machine (using an optical scanner). Recounts and audits should be conducted by human inspection of the human-readable portion of the paper ballots. Voting machines that do not provide the capacity for independent auditing (e.g., machines that do not produce a voter-verifiable paper audit trail) should be removed from service as soon as possible.
In our report, we explain why: Voting machines can never be completely hack-proof, but with paper ballots we can — if we have to — count the votes independent of possibly hacked computers.
4.12. Every effort should be made to use human-readable paper ballots in the 2018 federal election. All local, state and federal elections should be conducted using human-readable paper ballots by the 2020 presidential election.
5.8. States should mandate risk-limiting audits prior to the certification of election results. With current technology, this requires the use of paper ballots. States and local jurisdictions should implement risk-limiting audits within a decade. They should begin with pilot programs and work toward full implementation. Risk-limiting audits should be conducted for all federal and state election contests, and for local contests where feasible.
In our report, we explain why: Examining a small random sample of the paper ballots, and comparing with the results claimed by the computers, can assure with high confidence that the computers haven't been hacked to produce an incorrect outcome — or else, can provide clear evidence that a recount is needed.
5.11. At the present time, the internet (or any network connected to the internet) should not be used for the return of marked ballots. Further, internet voting should not be used in the future until and unless very robust guarantees of security and verifiability are developed and in place, as no known technology guarantees the secrecy, security and verifiability of a marked ballot transmitted over the internet.
4.1. Election administrators should routinely assess the integrity of voter registration databases and the integrity of voter registration databases connected to other applications. They should develop plans that detail security procedures for assessing voter registration database integrity and put in place systems that detect efforts to probe, tamper with or interfere with voter registration systems. States should require election administrators to report any detected compromises or vulnerabilities in voter registration systems to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission and state officials.
Many of these recommendations are not controversial, in most states. Almost all the states use paper ballots, counted by machine; the few remaining states that use paperless touchscreens are taking steps to move to paper ballots; the states have not adopted internet voting (except for scattered ill-advised experiments); and many, many election administrators nationwide are professionals who are working hard to come up to speed on cybersecurity.
But many election administrators are not sure about risk-limiting audits (RLAs). They ask, "can't we just audit the digital ballot images that the machines provide?" No, that won't work: If the machine is hacked to lie about the vote totals, it can easily be hacked to provide fake digital pictures of the ballots themselves. The good news is, well designed risk-limiting audits, added to well-designed administrative processes for keeping track of batches of ballots, can be efficient and practical. But it will take some time and effort to get things going: the design of those processes, the design of the audits themselves, training of staff, state legislation where necessary. And it can't be a one-size-fits-all design: Different states vote in different ways, and the risk-limiting audit must be designed to fit the state's election systems and methods. That's why we recommend pilots of RLAs as soon as possible, but a 10-year period for full adoption.
Many other findings and recommendations are in the report itself. For example, Congress should fully fund the Election Assistance Commission to perform its mission, authorize the EAC to set standards for voter-registration systems and e-pollbooks (not just voting machines); the president should nominate and Congress should confirm EAC commissioners.
But the real bottom line is: There are specific things we can do, at the state level and at the national level; and we must do these things to secure our elections so that we are confident that they reflect the will of the voters.

China's economic coercion — theory vs practice
Michael Zhou Thomas Pantle 9 December 2020 Australia-China, Trade & Investment
Mutually beneficial trade links may appear tempting to use as political leverage in theory, but there are a number of reasons why the reality of attempting to put theory into practice is more complicated. Recent events in the Australia-China context make for a salient case study of why this is the case.
Deep economic complementarities and purchasing power have made China Australia's largest source of overseas demand. Over the last decade, Australia's annual export value increased by a net gain of AUD$180 billion, with exports to China equalling 60 per cent of that.
Gaining influence alongside this growth in the flow of goods and services has been a logic that the size of Australia's export exposure gives China outsized leverage for economic coercion. This logic, given form in Australian commentary and alluded to in Chinese state media, contends that restrictions on Australian exports to China by Beijing and the losses inflicted on the Australian economy as a consequence, are a 'stick' that can be employed to punish political positions considered unfavourable by the Chinese government.
As early as 2016, Peter Jennings, executive director of the Australian Strategic Policy Institute, warned that:
We've never had a greater dependency with any country…The risk that creates for us is if Beijing wants to adopt politically coercive policies, it's in a fairly strong position to do so with us because of that level of trade dependence.
And more recently, a China Daily editorial seen as endorsing this logic suggested that:
…if Canberra continues to go out of its way to be inimical to China…its economy will only suffer further pain as China will have no choice but to look elsewhere…
Recent Chinese trade restrictions
Over the past seven months, this coercive logic has appeared to materialise. The Chinese government, as well as state-run media outlets, have hinted at or imposed trade restrictions on eight product categories, including:
Beef, 11 May–27 August
Barley/CBH grains, 18 May–31 August
Wine, 18 August–27 November
Coal, 12 October
Timber, 30 October–11 November
Lobster, 30 October
Copper, 6 November
Sugar, 6 November
Some of these and other product categories, including cotton, wheat and wool, are also reported to have been subjected to restrictions, but were not confirmed or alluded to by the Chinese government or state media.
The economic impacts caused by trade restrictions are not to be understated, nor is the hard work of exporters who have spent a long time ensuring their products are of the highest quality and have fostered ongoing and strong relationships with Chinese buyers.
The economic costs vary widely across sectors.
The case of barley represents the harshest trade restriction imposed on Australia by China to date. An 80.5 per cent tariff on the $1.4 billion industry has made the product highly uncompetitive to Chinese buyers, whom in June 2019 had imported $19 million worth of Australian barley. In June 2020, the first month after China imposed the tariffs, the value collapsed to just over $1 million.
The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs has since listed a number of Australian actions — including criticism of human rights issues in Xinjiang and Hong Kong, national security measures such as the restriction of Chinese vendors and foreign interference legislation, and calling for an independent inquiry into the COVID pandemic — as being responsible for eroding 'momentum of cooperation between the two sides'.
Nonetheless, the Australian government has remained vocal, with Foreign Minister Marise Payne recently condemning the disqualification of four pro-democracy lawmakers in Hong Kong as an act that 'undermines Hong Kong's high degree of autonomy and rights and freedoms'.
Mismatched expectations vs outcomes?
So are the trade disruptions about to get worse? Perhaps, but there are several reasons why the outcome of attempting to convert a large trade exposure to political ends is not as straightforward as the coercive logic might suggest.
First, because trade is mutually beneficial, coercive restrictions necessarily cause economic losses to both Australia and China. Returning to the case of barley, Australian Bureau of Agricultural and Resources Economics modelling estimates the costs to China at many multiples higher than to Australia because of the difficulty of shifting to other suppliers. China's reputation is also adversely affected among other trade partners.
Second, target economies can respond by mitigating risk at the micro and macro levels.
At the micro level, Australian exporters recognise trade barriers and increased risk premiums for Chinese market, which in turn increases their incentive to diversify towards other markets. Exporters can also mitigate risk by diversifying into product categories unaffected by restrictions.
In the case of barley, farmers successfully shifted to non-Chinese markets, considerably blunting the economic loss, or switched to planting different grains.
At the macro level, the prominence of coercive risks has prompted Australia to safeguard its sovereignty by hedging against them. For example, the Australian government has strengthened its relationships with Indo-Pacific partners — including through participation in Exercise Malabar 2020 — and its military capacity.
Third, a common argument is that a goal of China's recent trade restrictions is to foment opposition to political positions the Chinese government finds unfavourable. Economic sanction theory adds that successful use of such measures ought to strengthen the political influence of these opposition groups.
But there is little evidence to suggest this is happening in Australia. On the contrary, repeated exposure to the prospect of Chinese trade restrictions appears to have induced a 'rally round the flag' effect among some of those ostensibly most likely to oppose the Australian government's political positions on China.
For example, Fiona Simson, president of the National Farmers Federation (NFF), stated that the NFF would "support the Australian government…to ultimately resolve this worrying situation" rather than calling for a change to its policy positions. And Australian Industry Group chief executive, Innes Willox, has called for active defence of Australian products, saying that "when talks break down we need to rely on the independent umpire, the WTO".
Further, domestic political pressure for the Australian government to adopt a more conciliatory approach to China has only waned, in tandem with a sharp deterioration in public opinion towards China in recent years.
Potential further challenges
Trade restrictions imposed by China to date have not yet inflicted the maximum possible damage. But this may not remain the case. Should trade disruptions intensify, the willingness of Australian businesses to refrain from lobbying the Australian government for policy change may erode. Yet it is also possible that 'rally round the flag' effects intensify instead, exacerbating the existing political impasse between Canberra and Beijing. Going forward, it remains unclear that the outcome of coercive economic diplomacy in practice will be as clear-cut as in theory.

Q: How to call a method when disposing I have this piece of code in RxSwift that wraps UDPBroadcastConnection (https://github.com/gunterhager/UDPBroadcastConnection)
My question is, what do I have to do to call closeConnection() when the observable is disposed?
struct UDPBroadcastResponse {
let ip: String
let port: Int
let message: [UInt8]
}
final class RxBroadcaster: UDPBroadcastConnection {
let response = PublishSubject<UDPBroadcastResponse>()
private let disposeBag = DisposeBag()
}
extension RxBroadcaster: ReactiveCompatible {}
extension Reactive where Base: RxBroadcaster {
func send(message: String) -> Observable<UDPBroadcastResponse> {
DDLogVerbose("Sending UDP broadcast message: \(message)")
self.base.sendBroadcast(message)
return self.base.response
}
}
extension RxBroadcaster {
convenience init(port: UInt16) {
let rely = ReplaySubject<UDPBroadcastResponse>.createUnbounded()
self.init(port: port) { ip, port, message in
let response = UDPBroadcastResponse(ip: ip, port: port, message: message)
// DDLogVerbose("Receiving UDP message: IP: \(response.ip). Port: \(response.port). Message: \(response.message.map{ String(format: "%02X", $0) }.joined())")
DDLogVerbose("Receiving UDP message: IP: \(response.ip). Port: \(response.port)")
rely.onNext(response)
}
rely.bind(to: self.response).disposed(by: disposeBag)
}
}
Here I see an example: http://adamborek.com/practical-introduction-rxswift/
But I am not sure about the lifecycle of the objects involved.
Can you help me?
Thanks for suggestions.
A: You can use the do operator to hook into lifecycle events from a subscription and perform side effects. You can call do at any point in an Observable chain before you subscribe or bind. Example:
rely.do(onDispose: {
// called as your subscription is being disposed
}).bind(to: self.response).disposed(by: disposeBag)
A: I'd be more inclined to implement the RxBroadcaster like this:
final class RxBroadcaster {
let response: Observable<UDPBroadcastResponse>
init(port: UInt16) {
let _response = PublishSubject<UDPBroadcastResponse>()
let _connection = UDPBroadcastConnection(port: port, handler: { ipAddress, port, response in
_response.onNext(UDPBroadcastResponse(ip: ipAddress, port: port, message: response))
})
response = _response.asObservable()
completion = _response.asObserver()
connection = _connection
}
deinit {
connection.closeConnection()
completion.onCompleted()
}
private let connection: UDPBroadcastConnection
private let completion: AnyObserver<UDPBroadcastResponse>
}
extension RxBroadcaster: ObserverType {
public func on(_ event: RxSwift.Event<Data>) {
guard case let .next(data) = event else { return }
connection.sendBroadcast(data)
}
}
Now you can send data by just binding to the RxBroadcaster myData.bind(to: myBroadcaster) and receive data by subscribing to the broadcaster's response. The connection would naturally close when the Broadcaster goes out of scope.
It feels a bit odd to me to do a call/response operator like you did. The point of a UDP socket is that you will get messages independent of the ones you sent.

British & Irish Lions / General
Wonderful Gesture From All Blacks Fans For Visiting Lions Supporters This Summer
British and Irish Lions supporters travelling to New Zealand this summer are being offered free accommodation by local All Blacks fans.
The "Adopt a Lions Fan 2017" Facebook page has been created because of a lack of affordable accommodation for the estimated 20,000 fans who will make the journey.
The tour, which starts on 3 June and finishes on 7 July, will include 10 matches – three Tests against the All Blacks, five matches against New Zealand Super Rugby teams, and games against the New Zealand Provincial Barbarians and the Maori All Blacks.
"I really hope friendships will develop out of this, because rugby is a great vehicle for it," said organiser Adam Gilshnan.
"We don't want money to change hands at all, we want visitors to experience the famed Kiwi hospitality, and give Kiwi rugby fans the opportunity to look after their Lions guests."
A couple of hundred people have already put their details on this Facebook page, offering beds, entire units, and even driveways for camper vans. Locals are also offering pick-ups from airports, and many hosting rugby BBQs. Only in rugby.

What is broken in your life, that only God can fix?
Life is a series of cycles. The sun sets, the sun rises. We sleep, we wake up. We eat dead things to stay alive. We feel close to God, we feel removed. The one constant is God. And the mercy and forgiveness of God is more powerful than anything we could imagine. Despite the sins of the people, God is present. God forgives. We engage in acts of penance to help us to see more clearly the presence of God. And at those moments when God is clear, when the presence of God is close, we simply bask in the love God has for each one of us.

ICE Summer Surge Operation Takes 2,000 Criminal Aliens Off the Streets
By Jessica M. Vaughan on September 3, 2020
ICE announced this week the results of a summer surge operation to arrest criminal aliens who were at large in communities around the country. ICE officers arrested more than 2,000 aliens with convictions or pending charges for "crimes involving victims". Such operations are routine for ICE, but it is also routinely startling to see the litany of victimizations that occurred, and routinely infuriating that sanctuary jurisdictions continue to protect these offenders, making it necessary for ICE to take to the streets to arrest them, hopefully before there are new victims.
Interested readers can see the (scant) information on the operation here. ICE provides a breakdown of the crimes, but not of the cities or states of the arrests. The targets included a variety of types of cases, including criminal aliens released by sanctuaries, suspects wanted in their home countries, and aliens who skipped out on their proceedings. Some likely will be removed promptly, others will be detained for immigration court proceedings, and others might be released pending proceedings.
Reportedly, the operation initially was conceived to focus on domestic violence offenders in response to concerns in many communities of rising incidents of domestic violence due to the pandemic lockdowns. More than 500 of those arrested in this surge had convictions or charges for domestic violence, which was the second most common offense of those arrested, after assault.
The quarterly reports of ICE's VOICE office, which provides services to victims of criminal aliens, are a reminder of the importance of this mission. In the first quarter of 2019 (the most recent available), the VOICE office fielded more than 250 calls for help and referred more than 230 callers to ICE field offices to receive services in their communities. For example:
A parent and their minor child, victims of domestic violence by an alien, requested case information and wanted to provide a victim impact statement. The parent feared for their family's lives because the alien continued to evade a no-contact order while in state custody awaiting criminal proceedings. The VOICE Office referred the victims for victim assistance services and facilitated their request to provide a victim impact statement. The VOICE Office informed the victim the alien was ordered removed by an immigration judge and subsequently deported from the United States.
In another:
A victim of domestic violence by an alien requested case information. The VOICE Office informed the victim that the alien was in ICE custody and helped the victim register for DHS-VINE [VINE is ICE's automated victim notification service that enables victims to receive updates on the custody status of the offender]. The alien was eventually ordered removed by an immigration judge and deported from the United States. However, following the alien's removal, the alien attempted to re-enter the United States, but was convicted of illegal re-entry and once again deported from the United States.
A first responder, who was a victim of assault by an alien, requested case information after receiving a state program notice of the alien's release from state custody, where they were serving time for an assault conviction. The victim feared for their safety because the alien had made several death threats to them. The VOICE Office confirmed that an ICE detainer was placed on the alien that resulted in their transfer into ICE custody. The alien was removed from the United States.
ICE provided individual examples of criminal aliens arrested in the operation to news organizations. In the Washington, D.C., area, the targets included Edwin Nahun Mendoza-Santos, a 38-year-old Honduran man arrested in Alexandria, Va., who was wanted by Stafford County on a warrant for sexual battery of a child under 13; and Manuel De Jesus Rodriguez-Esperanza, 27, who was arrested in Hyattsville, Md., and wanted in his home country of El Salvador for aggravated homicide charges. The latter was ordered deported in 2016, and apparently is one of the approximately one million aliens living in the country ordered removed, but remaining here in defiance of those orders.
Fourteen aliens convicted of homicide were arrested in the operation, and 12 with homicide charges. I requested information on the locations where these aliens were arrested, but have not yet received a response.
This operation was a welcome reminder of the public safety value of immigration enforcement, and that there is a real human cost when ICE is not able to do its job, either because of lack of resources or lack of cooperation from sanctuary jurisdictions. But while it must be tempting to ICE leaders to focus only on the most obvious human interest cases, the front office must be careful not to foster the notion that "criminals with victims" are the only illegal aliens worthy of ICE attention. Let's hope that the next at-large criminal alien operation also includes arrests of drug dealers, drunk drivers, fraudsters, burglars, car thieves, illegal aliens in possession of dangerous weapons, illegal aliens who live or work with criminal aliens, unlucky non-criminal illegal aliens — and employers of illegal aliens.
During the tele-press conference announcing the operation, Henry Lucero, ICE's director of Enforcement and Removal Operations, mentioned that some of the 2,000 criminal aliens arrested in this operation were nabbed at their work places. I asked how many, but ICE does not keep statistics on this. Nor does ICE track how many of those they arrest in operations like this are found to be employed.
Occasionally, the division of ICE that is responsible for worksite operations (Homeland Security Investigations, or HSI) will act on a tip from the division that makes the most arrests (Enforcement and Removal Operations) about criminal aliens who are employed. ICE informed me that so far this fiscal year, HSI has acted on 33 tips it received from ERO. That is a very small number that likely reflects the disdain for worksite enforcement, and immigration enforcement generally, among the top echelons of HSI. Instead, it should be routine for ERO to systematically collect information about employers of arrested illegal aliens, and for HSI to investigate these employers. Unfortunately, nowadays ERO and HSI officers often do not even work in the same building, much less work together to address illegal immigration.
Some of the news media reporters who were on the teleconference seemed most interested in getting details about the number of aliens arrested who had not committed crimes (very few, if any), and the precautions ICE would be taking to make sure that those arrested would be safe from Covid-19.

after a short road trip down to philly, amy and i were happy to check out our very first philadephia flower show. i wasn't quite sure what to expect, but i figured we would be surrounded by walls of flowers and engulfed in the smell of all things green. in that respect, we certainly weren't disappointed, but i think we both came away feeling that perhaps the garden/floral style we both love hadn't really found a home at the show yet (or at least not this year). there were definitely a few booths that we really enjoyed (like the shipping containers above and below), but overall i think we both longed for something a bit more rustic, wild, and organic (we ended up driving down to terrain for lunch to satisfy that need). so if my photo coverage of the show is a bit on the light side, that's why. that said, i wanted to share our favorites from the show in this post, starting with these incredible shipping containers.
the moda botanica designers from philadelphia created our favorite part of the show, hands down. they filled industrial shipping containers with a dizzying array of succulents, orchids, and walls of flowers i couldn't even begin to identify they were so lush and beautiful. amy and i really loved the contrast between the delicate flowers and the rough, rusty containers, and particularly enjoyed the dining scene they set up in one container. the designers used simple wooden pallets (which they filled with moss and succulents) to create a gorgeous dining table. the tables were topped by a reflective surface that really highlighted the beautiful combination of silvery purple roses and succulents. it was such a dramatic display and was the first- and most striking thing- we really show at the show.

i'm so mad i didn't catch that this was off-focus while i was still at the show, but ugh, ce la vie. i loved this sweet nesting herb planter on top of a bright blue cafe table and chairs.
i'm always a sucker for industrial materials used in garden design. so this little display of cement structures filled with lush, leggy greenery stole my heart.
a tree made entirely of white orchids. enough said. GORG-EOUS.
bummed that we couldn't find the sort of loose, wild flowers and plants we love, amy and i drove a few extra miles south of philly to have lunch and immerse ourselves in greenery at terrain. i would live in that cafe if i could.
Wow! That first shot was like a dream. I love all of the moss. And the wall of cups was wild. What fun!
i love this grace! seriously, old stuff+gorgeous flowers. what an inspired combination. i wish i'd seen it in person. plus the shipping containers..wow. sounds like quite an installation.
Thanks for the sneak peak inside this crazy event. It looks like there could be a lot of weird over the top stuff going on there, but a few inspiring sights nonetheless. Now I am dying to go to Terrain. And to a flower show. Googling for flower shows on the West Coast.
my 2 faves (besides the modo containers!) the anthropology-like display of vases hanging from a grate with invisible wires and the rooftop deck installation with green/growing walls, solar paneled pergola, waterfall walls, bed, & couches….yum.
I totally agree. Phila flower show = ho-hum and so 90s.
I went to the philly show last year for the first time. As a floral designer and (amateur) photographer I was soo pumped!
I left exhausted from pushing crowds away from my belly (i was 8 months preggo) with no good photo shots and only saw one or two inspirational displays in the floral design field (so sad) !
i didnt make the 1 1/2 hr trip this year . i would recommend it though to people OUTSIDE of the floral/ design field. they would be inspired!
we went after 6PM on a schoolnight leaving the 4 kids at home with a sitter ~ & it was not too crowded. we had a glass of wine and walked around just loving the sight of anything flowering after such a winter….worth the price of admission!
wow! these are so inspiring! what beautiful booths.
I know the show can be overwhelming but if you ever have the chance to go early in the morning on a week day, especially the Monday, you'll have a lot less people to contend with and you can start to appreciate some of the details. I actually thought the show was really good this year but I got to see it without any crowds. My favorite part is always the "HortCourt" where people bring specimum plants in for judging so you get to see some really unusual and cool plants all in one place. I did really love the Moda shipping containers display. I stood in front of if for nearly 15 minutes, just taking it all in.
The flower show was awesome. It was great to see the shots. The Polar Fantasy exhibit (not shown here..sniff) got picked up by Fusion Flowers magazine out of Europe, so it could not have been THAT 90's. Fusion does not feature floral design unless its cutting edge. The Philly Flower Show rocks, all of it.
i certainly have to disagree that the show rocked- especially all of it. i thought that polar fantasy exhibit was sad– there were fake flowers in there, right? at least that's what the lady in the booth said. it looked like a can of white spray paint exploded inside the section. blech.
There were NO fake flowers in that Polar Fantasy exhibit, so wrong.
It actually won 2 awards from the PHS. Every flower was absolutely fresh. PHS would have never ever given them a single award if it was not. Whoever the lady in the booth was, she misinformed you and did not know what she was talking about. I can guarantee you she was not affiliated with the company that produced it or she would have never said such a thing.
Kris Kratt and Bill Schaffer were the designers who produced it.
All of the show rocks, even interpretations of traditional gardens. (yawn…) Why? Where else in the world can you see living plants and flowers on that scale under one roof?
it's clear you're a fan of their booth. i'm afraid i'm not. the whole thing just read tacky to me. however, i'm very glad to hear the flowers weren't fake. that said, the whole show felt pretty dated to me. i was hoping for something fresh and innovative and really only got that from the shipping container booth. yes, it's great to see that many plants under one roof, but when 3/4 of it failed to move me, i left feeling pretty disappointed.

Q: \pdfmapfile and \luatexttextdir commands not accepted anymore by luatex My LuaTeX 0.95.0 (TeX Live 2016) do not recognize command \pdfmapfile anymore, how can I load information on fonts?
The \luatexttextdir TRT is not recognized either, how can I request a different text direction?
I found no trace of the latter in the LuaTeX documentation (although by dad package developed a few years ago was heavily relying on it) and for the former it is only said that pdf.mapfile is replacing it, does this mean that I have to switch to Lua to call a map file?
A: For the \pdfmapfile use the luatex85 package, and \textdir instead of \luatextextdir:
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{luatex85}
\pdfmapfile{=fontawesome.map}
\begin{document}
blbl
\textdir TRT abc

As online social platforms have become the go-to form of communication between younger generations, there has been a steady increase in the amount of older people using social media in a bid to carry on living a healthy and sociable life.
A recent study which was carried out in the UK and Italy has identified many positives to older people using social media, both physically and mentally.
The two-year project focused on 120 vulnerable older people from the south west of England and the region of Marche, Italy, both of which are renowned for the longevity of the occupants. One group was given special computers equipped with social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook, as well as Skype and email programmes with full, comprehensive training. The other half of the group received their normal care routine.
The results were astonishing, with one of the participants being "amazed" by how much social media and online connectivity and communication has benefited their life.
Speaking to The Guardian, Margaret Keohane, a participant in the study, said: "It's brought fun into my life again. It's changed my life.
It is easy to see why many of the participants had such positive feedback, as messaging channels enabled with a broadband connection such as Skype allow two or more people to hold a video call with their loved ones from all over the world, from the comfort of their rise and recline chairs.
The number of older people using online communication platforms and social media has increased from 9% in 2006 to 37% in 2013, but more is needed to be done to keep the figure rising, such as affordable technology and training to help promote the benefits of social media for older users.

This study,IMPACT OF OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE ON THE OBJECTIVITY OF PRIVATE BROADCASTING STATIONS IN NIGERIA contains concise information that will serve as a framework or guide for your project work. The project study is well-researched for academic purposes and are usually provided in complete chapters with adequate References.
The assertion that says he who pays the pipers dictates the tune agreed more with this study because there are lots of government controls and influences on Nigerian journalists especially those working with the state media. Government dictates to journalists what they should and should not broadcast. It is believed that most of the government media journalists have been turned to their secretary and public relations while the government has also turned media to her extension of the ministry of information that cannot but support her activities dogmatically. The survey method was adopted with the use of 100 questionnaires out of which 90 were returned upon which the analysis was based. Despite the fact that private media ownership have lots of influence on the objectivity of their media yet many audiences still prefer them to government media which they described as government megaphone or government propaganda tool to fool the public. It is therefore recommended that media owners should not allow the commercial interest to drive them from the media social responsibility expected of it in society. Media owners should allow it employee exercise professionalism in their day to day activities to boost and maintain the media objectivity and credibility of the media because "source is the news" i.e credibility of the information will be determined by the credibility of the media.

Organic Sedimentary Rocks
The sediment in an organic sedimentary rock is made of fossils!
The mineral parts of animals, such as bones and shells, are much more likely to be preserved than the soft tissues, which typically decay. The bones, shells, and other skeletal parts can become cemented together over time to make sedimentary rock. Usually the bones are made of calcite, or a similar mineral called aragonite, and the resulting organic rock is called limestone. Sometimes the skeletal material is made of silica, such as with diatom algae and some other types of plankton, and the resulting organic rock is called chert.
Plants compressed together over millions of years make an organic sedimentary rock called coal. Coal doesn't look like it is made of sediment. In fact, it is often difficult to see the plant fossils within it because they have become so compacted over time, some of the more volatile materials are no longer present, and all that is left is the organic carbon.

WTH? Biden Regime To Finish "small gaps" In Trump Border Wall...WILL NOT Finish Wall...Plans To Discard Unused Border Wall Materials
By Adam Wilson | Dec 21, 2021
Just days after it was revealed that arrests at the border have reached an all-time high for the month of November, the Biden administration decided that they will not finish President Trump's border wall. FOX News Reports–
"The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced Monday that it will use border wall funds to close some unfinished gaps in the wall that former President Trump started.
President Biden shut down all construction on the wall when he entered office on Jan. 20, leaving large sections of the wall incomplete and construction material sitting unused on the border.
The plan does not include the construction of additional miles of wall but would close "small gaps that remain open from prior construction activities and remediating incomplete gates.
DHS said the move is part of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' plan to use border funds "to protect border communities from physical dangers resulting from the previous administration's approach to border wall construction."
Biden's disastrous immigration policy has led to border apprehensions reaching historic numbers. More than 1.7 million illegal immigrants have been detained in Fiscal Year 2021, according to the CBP.
Upon taking office, Biden issued a 100 day halt on most deportations, stopped construction of President Trump's border wall, and ended his "remain in Mexico" policy. President Trump saw illegal immigration reach a 17 year low during his administration. "Mayorkas has eviscerated our interior immigration enforcement apparatus—meaning that once an illegal alien enters our country, they become virtually impossible to remove," Said Matthew Tragesser at the Federation for American Immigration Reform.
Biden's immigration policy has had deadly consequences. Last month, a human smuggler with 6 illegal immigrants in his vehicle crashed in to a car, killing two. The victims of the car crash were identified as a mother and daughter from Mission, Texas, ages 59 and 22.

A Medley of Museums
Posted on July 2, 2019 by Suzanne
I have been known to label myself as "not a museum person," yet I rarely miss a famous one, and always enjoy them once I get there. I've gone out of my way to visit them, been to all the big names, and have enjoyed countless hours wandering the halls with my favorite niece Hannah. So instead, I should probably say I have a low museum tolerance. It's a battle between my eyes and my feet to see which one will cry "uncle" first.
Lisbon has a hodgepodge of museums. Not only are there the usual suspects of old masters and contemporary art, but there are also more obscure options. For example, there is the Museum of Beer, the Museum of Water, the Money Museum, Museum of Marionettes (puppets,) the Tile Museum (azuelos) and the Museum of Fado, Portugal's traditional music, just to name a few. So many museums, so little time reserved at my accommodation. I have three days to allocate toward museum exploration.
While the quirkiness of many of these museums appeals to me, realistically, I am really only good for one museum per day. By the time I find the location, read up on what is on offer, and do the museum justice, I am pretty much out of mental and physical fuel. I find I have to consciously pace myself so as not to delve too deeply in the first few exhibits, leaving myself short on energy for the grand finale. So I figure I will allocate one museum per day over three days.
I have been extraordinarily enchanted with the beautifully patterned tiles that seem to cover every façade both inside and out here in Portugal. It is something that has taken me by surprise, and I wanted to know more. Why are they so prolific here?
First of all, I learn the Portuguese don't call them "tiles," but rather "azuelos," from the Arabic word meaning "small polished stone." The patterned tiles remind me of the beautiful blue tiled mosques I saw in Iran. I guess it stands to reason, since the Iberian Peninsula is so "moored" in its Moorish roots. So I was curious to learn more about how they evolved to play such a prominent role in the Catholic churches here.
The museum is set in Madre de Deus Convent, founded in 1509, so the building is almost as beautiful as the displays themselves. Inside the convent is a baroque chapel showcasing tiles from the 18th century, like a museum inside a museum.
While I had hoped to learn more about the making of the tiles (materials used, type of paints, etc.) I found the museum to be more like an art gallery. Still worthy of Museum Choice No. 1.
You can't walk a single city block in Portugal without seeing azuelos.
This "wall hanging" came from Seville between 1500 and 1550. Notice how it resembles a Persian rug.
The museum occupies all three floors of the old convent. This area is where restoration is taking place, and the walls on both sides of her are stacked to the ceiling with boxes of tiles.
Inside the convent is Leonor's Chapel, named for the convent's founder, Queen D. Leonor, sister of Manuel I and widow of King João II
Hardly a space can be found not covered in blue and white azuelos or gilded baroque carved wood.
The Portuguese adopted the Moorish tradition of horror vacui ('fear of empty spaces') and covered the walls completely with azulejos. This, a staircase ashlar dating from 1650.
Islam prohibits idolatry, which has been interpreted to mean human and animal forms are forbidden in art. For this reason, the earliest Azuelos of Moorish influence were floral or geometric in design.
By 16th century, European motif incorporated human and animal forms. The blue and white influence came from Chinese porcelain that was first brought to Europe by the Portuguese. In the 18th century, Masters from the Netherlands were commissioned, who brought in baroque aesthetics at the height of production referred to as the "Masters Cycle." Eventually, the art evolved into storytelling with hunting scenes, courting scenes, and religious narrative.
The museum has workshops where you can design your own azuelo.
This azuelo display called "The Great Panorama of Lisbon" is over 100 ft long, depicting Lisbon before the 1755 earthquake.
Azuelos are everywhere! Lisbon loves its subway art, and as one who spent 10 years of my life riding the NYC subway, I love it too!
Every station has a different tiled theme, but of course, I loved this more abstract and humorous version of the azuelo.
Palácio Nacional de Queluz, or the National Palace of Queluz
Does a palace qualify as a museum? It is in a way, a life-sized museum. It was my growing appreciation of azuelos that brought me to the Palace. In doing my research about azuelos, I learned that the National Palace of Queluz has an entire canal lined in blue and white tiles where the royal family went boating. This, I had to see.
About half an hour outside of Lisbon, easily reached by the train from the Rossio Station (right outside my hostel door) in the very nondescript suburbs of Queluz is the resplendent national palace inspired by France's Versailles.
Built in 1747, it was initially conceived as a summer residence. They lived here permanently from 1794 until 1807 when they were forced to flee to the then Portuguese colony of Brazil following the French invasion. They literally left the day before Napolean's troops landed in Lisbon.
The Neptune Fountain
The weathered copper onion dome on the left is over the chapel.
The National Palace of Queluz was designated a National Monument in 1910.
The River Jamor was dammed up to form a small lake, reached by this tile-lined canal.
They would glide up and down the canal in a gondola.
The canal is almost 400 ft long.
The Throne Room or Great Room, designed in 1774.
Multicolored azuelo panels date from 1784, and depict the Four Seasons, along with scenes from classical mythology.
The Kings Bedroom — Pedro IV (1798-1834), the first Emperor of Brazil and the first Portuguese constitutional monarch died here in the same room where he had been born 36 years earlier. (While the room is square, the domed ceiling and circular inlay motif in floor give the impression it is oval.)
Museu de Marinha, Maritime Museum
One of the things which most endears Portugal to me is its nautical ambiance, and with over 1,000 miles of coastline, its heavy maritime influence should come as no surprise.
Being here in Portugal, I am surrounded by reminders of "The Age of Discovery," from the early 15th century into the early 17th century, when European ships traveled around the world in search of new trading routes and partners. The Portuguese Empire led the charge during this time of discovery with young Henry the Navigator and Vasco da Gama, among others, exploring the west coast of Africa all the way to Cape Town. (It's interesting that you see little mention of Ferdinand Magellan, Portuguese sailor who was the first to circumnavigate the globe. But he did so under the Spanish flag, therefore Portugal considers him somewhat of a traitor.)
Portugal and Spain were the dominant leaders of the Age of Discovery. Through the Treaty of Tordesillas the two countries agreed to divide up the New World, with Spain getting most of the Americas while Portugal got Brazil, India, and Asia. Interesting, considering the scope of Portugal's dominion today.
I have long been fascinated by these navigators and cartographers on how they managed to sail around the globe using rudimentary tools in rickety boats, to risk venturing into the dark and perilous sea, all for the sake of exploration. Oh sure, there were trade routes at stake offering rich rewards, but equally rewarding was the notoriety of claim, as well as the adventure itself. Not only the gold, but the glory…a curiosity that drove these early explorers to try and try again, against all odds, to press on just to see what lies over the horizon.
While I have done some reading about Captain Cook (very humorous book by the late Tony Horowitz, Blue Latitudes) I remember very little from my World history about the Portuguese explorers. So being here in Lisbon, the Maritime Museum piqued my interest.
Beautiful Gothic home of Lisbon's Maritime Museum.
Prince Henry the Navigator, Portuguese explorer born in 1394, credited with starting maritime expansion and exploration of the Atlantic.
A 1645 terrestrial globe made by the most famous globe maker of all time, Willem Jansz Blaeu,
Miniature model of the Caravel, ship developed by the Portuguese. Its advantage over the older ships was its triangular sail, which could be trimmed to allow the ship to navigate either cross or head winds.
Hard to tell scale, but this ship model was as tall as me.
Archangel St. Raphael, actual artifact that accompanied Vasco da Gama's voyage to India.
The Astrolabe, used primarily to make astronomical measurements of celestial bodies to aid in navigation. Developed in the late 15th century, it was as important for navigation as the GPS in our times.
Lots of heavy artillery in the museum as well, but I'm only in it for the boats. 😉
The Royal Barge, built in 1778, manned by 80 oarsmen. It's last service was in 1957 when Queen Elizabeth II visited Portugal.
Padrão dos Descobrimentos, or Monument to the Discoveries, with Henry the Navigator at the helm.

Such wonderful exploration days! I clicked on "weather" for Lisbon because pleasant weather would be icing on this cake, and weather looks wonderful too, barely reaching 80 degrees during the day, and mid-60s at night?? While Paris suffers a heat wave, Lisbon is untouched by it?

Hi, Terri. Poor blog is lagging behind, I am in Porto now, where the forecast is not supposed to go above 75 while I am here. Yes, I feel very fortunate to have dodged the European heat wave! Hope you are finding some cool shade as well. Thanks for sticking with me.

Very cool, what is interesting about the museums down there is that they have such a longer history compared to ours…..

It seems your beautiful and informative blog posts always leaves me with subtle mixed emotions. I find such beauty through your eyes and prose…stirring up a longing to do as you do, see as you see. Go where you go. My reality is such that I'll probably never get to Lisbon…but how sweet is it that I get to be there, here.

Safety Management Training in a Newly Vaccinated America
Shannon M Farley @sfarley
Safety & Compliance
The pandemic has had a devastating impact on almost every industry, including construction. While not completely halting all projects, it has slowed them down, considerably, leading to expensive disruptions and delays. Projects managers scrambled to keep workers safe without resorting to total closure. Without effective risk management strategies in place, the task became even more challenging.
Getting field data to the business office was already an issue before the pandemic. It's worse now. With many construction business offices shifted to employees' homes, field supervisors that normally dropped off timesheets, daily progress, and safety reports, can no longer do so as they do not have a central business office to deliver the field data to. This is why the time has come to sharpen the digital tools in the construction sector's tech toolbox.
Construction firms that want to survive and thrive beyond COVID-19 need to have more rigorous methods for collecting and sharing field data, and they need to implement agile cloud-based resource management solutions that allow contractors and site workers to react and resolve safety issues faster with real-time data.
Leverage Construction Technology for Basic Processes
Most of the USA classified the construction sector as an essential industry during the pandemic. However, COVID-19 forced contractors to review the way employees, subcontractors, and visitors enter a construction site.
The pandemic ruthlessly exposed the deficiencies of paper-based systems. Even with data entered on a spreadsheet, contact tracing proved a huge challenge. It was a near-impossible task to even tell if an infected worker was still on a job site. As one of the few industries that remained open for business, construction was uniquely positioned to implement technological solutions for workplace forms, communication, management, and health verification.
For health and safety teams, safety documentation not only ensures regulatory compliance but also keeps workers safe and keeps projects on schedule. Villa Roofing, one of the largest roofing companies in the Lower Mainland, faced huge challenges managing this process. With 30 crews managing 50-80 projects at any given time—and training documentation, weekly inspections, and daily safety assessments required from each worker—the company had the Herculean task of collecting, filing, and analyzing more than 300 documents per day!
Compounding the challenge was the custom nature of Villa Roofing's forms – each contractor, sub-contractor, and prime contractor needed a specific document. Additionally, each individual's training certificate expired at different times. In order to effectively manage their workforce and move into the digital age, the firm urgently needed a significant documentation upgrade to bring Villa's safety systems into the twenty-first century.
Health and Safety Manager Sam Livingstone started submitting each custom form to Salus and we developed a digital equivalent. Systems were also put in place to ensure any expired training certificates could be updated and approved… all within the Salus app. With a Salus solution in place, Villa's digital forms are now shared and collaborated on in real-time. With automatic filters and search capabilities, the company is ready for safety audits and customer requests with a push of a button. For Villa, it was a case of Voilà!
With a Salus solution in place, Villa's digital forms are now shared and collaborated on in real-time.
Safety compliance is a major business focus area. Here, Salus does the heavy lifting for you by ensuring you're on track by monitoring daily activities in real-time. If workers fall behind on forms, you'll have clear visibility into who to work with to ensure completed submissions. A paper-based corrective action system leaves you vulnerable with a narrow trail for due diligence. Salus' solutions enable you to create a single source of truth for all disciplinary actions assigned and easily track follow-ups for quick response and proof of completion to close the loop.
The pandemic accelerated digitization in most industries making software more critical than ever. Through the implementation of real-time resource management solutions such as cloud-based labor tracking, field reporting, project tracking, and system integration, managers can safely and seamlessly perform key business functions in a safe environment.
Cloud-based solutions are convenient as critical information can easily be accessed through smartphones and other devices, no matter where the user is located. It enables managers to quickly address issues and track corrective actions using real-time data, reporting, and notifications.
That said, there is a range of other new technologies that are making construction sites much safer. Wearable technology, for example, has exploded in popularity. Smart hard hats can be used to measure fatigue using EEG sensors. E-watches are being used as risk management strategies to monitor the whereabouts of different employees on a site, especially when a dangerous activity such as demolition is underway. Contractors are also increasingly using drones to manage dangerous jobs on site.
Software such as Salus helps construction managers monitor all safety aspects of a project site on one platform. Such programs deliver multiple features in a single place, including communication, general management, asset management, and a subcontractor portal.
With nearly 6.5 million people working at construction sites across the US on any given day, the need for firms to embrace a digital approach is becoming urgent.
Digital Transformation in Construction Safety
With nearly 6.5 million people working at approximately 252,000 construction sites across the US on any given day, the need for firms to move from traditional paper-based safety programs and embrace a digital approach is becoming urgent and more pronounced.
The integration of digital technology into all areas of a business creates a culture that promotes innovation and change, delivering value across the operational chain. It also calls for a mind shift, requiring companies to continually challenge long-held conventions and assumptions and be open-minded about new ways of doing business.
Digitization is ushering in a new era for the construction sector; yielding enhanced safety standards, optimized productivity levels, and streamlined communications across the industry. Mobile apps and safety management software are increasingly emerging as effective ways to eliminate tedious and error-prone paper processes to streamline reporting of incident information from anywhere in the field.
The collaborative nature of digitization really harnesses the power of working as a team and lets everyone input info into a single system that provides a holistic view of their current project's safety and status. With everyone empowered to input data and access it in real-time, managers can allocate tasks more efficiently and work with greater flexibility.
Health and Safety Protocols Education and Training
As a construction employer, you're required to provide your workers with the necessary education and training on basic health standards. The format and language should be accessible to every employee. Sign language should be incorporated to reach hearing-disabled staff. In addition, the usual construction signage should be updated to reflect the current COVID-19 threat. Aside from training, you should acquire the necessary gear to protect workers and visitors. All sites should have sufficient health and safety resources, including masks, thermometers, and sanitizing material.
Follow Other OSHA Compliance Standards
Contractors should undertake risk analysis by following OSHA's construction-specific and general guidelines. According to CDC, workers should wear masks in all indoor settings as they are high-transmission zones. Both vaccinated, and unvaccinated people should observe all the social distancing guides. In addition, it's essential to get tested as soon as one discovers they have contact with a person who later turned out positive. Employees that test positive should isolate themselves for 14 days regardless of their vaccination status.
Stay On Top of Safety and Compliance with the Right Management Software
Worker safety is now mainstream and a feature of almost every industry. Construction firms need to keep up to maintain a competitive edge. Construction safety management needs a robust digital software solution that is designed to put construction safety above all else in the form of a non-modular, safety-focused all-in-one suite.
Digitalization is neither new nor hard to achieve. Digitization enables the creation of extensive online databases, where managers are able to easily find and drill in on information such as which workers have received what training, and who still needs training in a specific area, ensuring there are no information gaps that could potentially endanger the team. Using Salus' construction-specific App, employees can access safety manuals and training videos at any time if they are ever unsure or need clarity.
Embrace the new reality and leverage digital tools to enhance the safety of your construction site by scheduling a Salus demo now and discover why digital transformation is a super-smart, cost-cutting, life-saving investment.

Q: Can not get claims from bearer token in MVC front end app I am able to call the API to get the Token in my local, However how do i use this token in my ASP.NET MVC front end application and get the claims. I tried something like this (mentioned below) but some how i am not able to decrypt the token and get the claims. I made sure that Machine key's are same.
var unencryptedToken = Startup.OAuthBearerOptions.AccessTokenFormat.Unprotect(accessToken);
//(This line is always returning the null)
var identity = unencryptedToken.Identity;
var id = new ClaimsIdentity(identity.Claims, DefaultAuthenticationTypes.ApplicationCookie);
Can you help me with this??
I have used below article to build my webapi to generate the token.
http://bitoftech.net/2014/06/01/token-based-authentication-asp-net-web-api-2-owin-asp-net-identity/
Regards,
Rupesh
A: Though old question, but I had to implement this today. You can try getting information from the RequestContext's User object like this:
var userName = idt.Claims.Where(x => x.Type == "UserName").Select(x => x.Value).First();
var roles = idt.Claims.Where(x => x.Type == "role").Select(x => x.Value).FirstOrDefault();
return new[] {$"'userNameClaim':'{userName}','rolesClaim':'{roles}'"};
I have added extension method to make it easier to return comma separated string of roles:
public static class RequestExtensions
{
public static string GetRoles(this HttpRequestContext context)
{
var idt = context.Principal.Identity as ClaimsIdentity;
if (idt == null)
return string.Empty;
var roles = idt.Claims.Where(x => x.Type == "role")
.Select(x => x.Value).FirstOrDefault();
return roles;
}
public static string GetUserName(this HttpRequestContext context)
{
var idt = context.Principal.Identity as ClaimsIdentity;
if (idt == null)
return string.Empty;
var userName = idt.Claims.Where(x => x.Type == "UserName")
.Select(x => x.Value).FirstOrDefault();
return userName;
}
}

Cloud giant Google has announced the building of a cloud data centre in London, United Kingdom. Google, immediately recognised as a search giant, has over recent years been competing in the cloud arena with companies like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft's Azure cloud platform. It is currently number three in terms of cloud activity. Announcing the new centre comes only one month after the company announced the launch of new cloud data facilities in Australia.
Google's new Google Cloud Platform (GCP) facility in London underscores the company's push to extend its public cloud activity. In Europe Google has a "cloud region" in Belgium with facilities in Germany, the Netherlands and Finland in the pipeline. The bulk of Google's cloud platform data centres are though in the United States and in countries like Singapore, Taiwan and Japan. Google suggested that they had decided to open the London centre prior to the "Brexit" vote on the United Kingdom leaving the European Union.
"Incredible user experiences hinge on performant infrastructure," explained Product Manager, Google Cloud Platform, Dave Stiver on the company's 'Cloud Platform Blog'. "GCP customers throughout the British Isles and Western Europe will see significant reductions in latency when they run their workloads in the London region. In cities like London, Dublin, Edinburgh and Amsterdam, our performance testing shows 40%-82% reductions in round-trip time latency when serving customers from London compared with the Belgium region".
Do you know of any other companies launching new cloud data centres? Let us know the details. Add your comments below.

ON THE GREEN: CATCH THESE OUTSIDE
The reverb-drenched surf rock sounds of the Sharkskins close out the concert season on the Fair Haven Municipal Dock Thursday night.
From star-kissed surf and free-range country to plein-air pickin' and fresh-air film, the season of outdoor diversions remains very much in effect on the Greater Red Bank Green. We've got the roundup of public-welcome events under the summer sky — and over the next seven days and nights — all of them free as a breeze.
It all starts tonight, weather permitting, with the latest installment of the Summer 2017 Movies in Riverside Gardens Park series, sponsored by Red Bank Parks and Recreation and brought to you by Shore Flicks.

MIDDLETOWN: FREE THE WEEKLINGS
Famed musicmakers Glen Burtnik and Bob Burger (aka Lefty and Zeek) Beatle-boot their band The Weeklings, for a free Tuesday night concert outside the Middletown Arts Center.
Let no man question the Beatle bona fides of Glen Burtnik — not when the Jersey music legend, hit songwriter, former member of Styx (and occasional fronter of the current version of ELO) boasts a resume highlighted by scores of performances as Paul McCartney, in the Broadway production of Beatlemania.
It's a credential that could conceivably be hard to match — even by Bob Burger, the veteran singer-songwriter-guitarist and attorney who's logged countless sets in the watering holes of the Jersey Shore, and collaborated with Burtnik on songs for Styx and others. But then, who else among us could top this little career highlight for pure Fab Four thrills?
All of which serves to confirm that Burtnik and Burger mean Beatle-booted business when it comes to delivering an authoritative sonic salute to the MopTops, as they did a few seasons back at the Middletown Arts Center. But when Glen and Bob return to the north lawn outside the MAC this Tuesday evening, August 8, they'll be respectively answering to the names of Lefty and Zeek — the double-sided hitmakers of the band known as The Weeklings.

MIDDLETOWN: A DOO WOP TO-DO @ THE MAC

For fans of that purebred strain of vocal soul known as Doo Wop, it's become almost as much of a cause for discussion as keeping track of group personnel changes, recording dates, and other true-fan trivia. We're talking here about the situation in which two or more competing groups each lay claim to the name of some classic hitmaking act — whether through the presence of a onetime member or by virtue of rights held by an outside party or promoter. It's a sticking point that's too often played out around courtrooms and conference tables, rather than on a battle-of-the-bands stage, where such matters might be more effectively resolved.
When the virtuoso voices transform Middletown Arts Center into an old-neighborhood hangout this Saturday night, the promoters (Coll Productions, teaming with Street Corner Sounds Society) will be spinning this record-hop in a way designed to put aside any "imposter band" acrimony — as A Tribute to Our Doo Wop Legends, in which a collection of veteran regional acts each pay harmonious homage to an earlier golden-age group who inspired them.

MIDDLETOWN: IT TAKES A VILLAGE
The Middletown Arts Center on Church Street is the point of departure for a walking tour of the historic Middletown Village district Saturday morning.
Among other things, the Independence Day holiday serves to spur awareness of our own Yankee Doodle history here on the Greater Red Bank Green — a timeline that predates the signing of the Declaration, as represented by National Historic Sites like Little Silver's Parker Homestead (established in 1665), the Seabrook-Wilson House at the Bayshore (c. 1720), and the centuries-old structures of Shrewsbury's "Four Corners."
Then there's Middletown Township; Monmouth County's largest, most sprawling municipality — and among its oldest. Even many who reside there may not realize that at the heart of its nearly 60 square miles sits a walkable little village — and this Saturday morning, history buffs and the historically curious are invited to take a step back in time, one that begins mere minutes from station stop Red Bank and just a few paces from the North Jersey Coast Line platform.

MIDDLETOWN: PLAY ASKS, 'SAUCE' OR 'GRAVY'?
Middletown Arts Center is the setting for a weekend-long serving of the musical dramedy 'They Call It Gravy, We Call It Sauce!'
Is it "gravy" or "sauce?" Why do Neapolitans cut off the vowels at the end of words? And just what the heck is "bru-shetta?"
These and other long-simmering issues are placed on the front burner with They Call It Gravy, We Call It Sauce!, a traveling "musical dramedy" that camps out at Middletown Arts Center for a weekend-long engagement that begins Friday night.

RED BANK: LOCAL ARTS ORGS GET 2017 GRANTS
The Art Alliance on Monmouth Street is one of 15 Red Bank area nonprofit entities named as grantees in the Monmouth Arts 2017 ArtHelps program.
Press release from Monmouth County Arts Council
Some two dozen arts groups in Monmouth County — 15 of them based in Red Bank and surrounding communities — have been named by Monmouth Arts as the recipients of their ArtHelps Local Arts Program Grant Awards for Fiscal Year 2017.
Designed to help Monmouth Arts meet its mission to enrich the community by inspiring and fostering the arts, the grants will result in over 3,000 high quality, low cost art events (art exhibitions, concerts, dance, theater, film and festivals) estimated to reach over 800,000 people. The 24 awarded grants totaled $94,500, including $3,500 in mini-grants that will be awarded during the year for smaller arts projects by organizations including new and emerging groups.
The awards were presented at a networking meeting held at House of Independents in Asbury Park on September 21, an event during which Monmouth Arts premiered their new website, and special guest Michael Pilla of Pilla Creative Marketing spoke on building your audience with email marketing and Facebook ads.
MIDDLETOWN: FT. HANCOCK MEETING ON FRI.
Press release from National Parks Service
Members of the public will be able to learn about and comment upon the efforts to preserve the historic structures at Sandy Hook's Fort Hancock area, during a meeting of the Fort Hancock 21st Century Federal Advisory Committee this Friday morning, May 13.
Scheduled for 9 a.m., and hosted in the auditorium of the Middletown Arts Center at 36 Church Street, this will be the first meeting after the signing of the first residential lease at Fort Hancock Historic Post (Building 21, pictured), and the last meeting before an Open House takes place of select leasing opportunities on Sunday, May 22.

MIDDLETOWN: JOHNNY & JUNE CASH LIVE ON
Michael Patrick and the Ring of Fire Band, along with guest vocalist Mary Lamont, perform the signature songs of Johnny Cash, below, and June Carter Cash at Middletown Arts Center Saturday.
Longtime residents of the Greater Green can tell you of times when Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash were spotted among the shops and stalls of Red Bank's Antiques District, just two American music legends indulging their shared passion for collectibles on one of their many visits to the area.
Down in Asbury Park, where the Man in Black was one of a group of investors in the venerable Berkeley-Carteret Hotel back in the 1980s, a "Johnny Cash Suite" still designates the specially reserved local quarters of the Arkansas-born icon who kept a place in his heart for the Jersey Shore (and who made some of the most memorable contributions to the body of Bruce Springsteen covers).
MIDDLETOWN: THE POWER OF ARTS ED
The co-chairs of The Guild of Creative Art in Shrewsbury are among the individuals and organizations recognized by the Monmouth County Arts Council for their contributions to arts education, during a May 9 ceremony.
Each May, as the school year comes to a close, The Monmouth County Arts Council recognizes outstanding arts educators, arts organizations and arts advocates who support our mission of enriching the community by inspiring and fostering the arts in Monmouth County.
Sponsored by OceanFirst Foundation, the annual Arts Education Awards and Showcase will be held on Monday, May 9, and will be hosted at the award-winning, state-of-the-art facility of the Middletown Arts Center.
MIDDLETOWN: SINATRA TIMES THREE
Nathan DeDeo is among the singers making like Ol' Blue Eyes all weekend long when SINATRA "OUR WAY" commandeers the MAC stage for three benefit shows, produced by Middletown's own David J.V. Meenan (below).
Middletown's own David J.V. Meenan has hoofed his way into the Guinness Book of World Records as a champion long-distance tap dancer; performed on Broadway in A Chorus Line; and presented many an all-singing/ all-dancing extravaganza at Monmouth University.
Here in Red Bank, he managed his own playhouse (the Royale Theater on Monmouth Street) in the 1990s, and premiered his own original musical (Transatlantic) at the Count Basie.
MIDDLETOWN: BEYOND THE BIERGARTEN
So what better month to salute the sounds, scenery and seasonal fare of Germany than the Oktoberfest interlude of autumn?
Beginning Friday and continuing through Sunday afternoon, the MAC plays host to a weekend-long Oktoberfestival that "goes beyond the biergarten;" drawing upon the resources of the 23,000-square-foot facility to honor "Das Land der Dichter und Denker" — the country of poets and thinkers.
CHOICE VOICES IN RED BANK, MIDDLETOWN
AMERICA'S GOT TALENT breakout sensation Jackie Evancho, left, makes her area debut at the Count Basie this Friday, while Gianna Salvato (of THE VOICE competition) joins kindie-rocker Miss Sherri for a show taping at the MAC on Saturday.
The greater Red Bank Green rolls out the red this weekend for a pair of young performers, each of whom made a nationwide impression on TV talent shows.
MIDDLETOWN: PULLING FOR KIDS' CHARITY
Pat Guadagno and Steve Reilly are among the Shore-based musicians taking part in a first-ever Nashville Guitar Pull for charity this Saturday at Middletown Arts Center.
It's called a Guitar Pull — a type of event that's infinitely more pleasant than a hamstring pull, less sticky than a taffy pull — although it often draws from the same kind of audience that appreciates a first-rate tractor pull.
Defined as "a Southern tradition where a small group of musicians sit around and take turns playing songs on a guitar," the loosely structured, stories-and-songs format has a city-slicker cousin in our regional Songwriters in the Round/ Songwriters by the Sea events. And Saturday, such an event pulls into the greater Red Bank Green when the Middletown Arts Center (MAC) hosts a first-ever Nashville Guitar Pull concert for a worthy cause.

MIDDLETOWN: CELTIC CULTURE MARCHES ON
The Dublin City Ramblers (above) take the stage, and bagpipers Aidan and Michael Hannigan (below) stroll the grounds, as the Middletown Arts Center plays host to its first-ever Savor the Arts Ireland Festival this weekend.
"Is there any holiday that lasts as long as St. Patrick's Day does around here?" the Shore-based folksinger George Wirth queried recently.
While we debate the merits of that observation, it can't be disputed that, two weeks after the Rumson St. Patrick's Parade here on the Greater Red Bank Green (plus several days after the actual day of St. Patrick), the ongoing march has delivered us right to Spring's doorstep, courtesy of a first-ever Gaelic culture celebration in Middletown.
M'TOWN: HIGH SCHOOLERS 'SPEAK THE SPEECH'
Press release from English-Speaking Union of Monmouth County
On February 28, a dozen high school students each took the stage of the Middletown Arts Center and, without scenery, costumes or props, brought William Shakespeare's words to life. It was the 25th annual Shakespeare Competition for high school students, sponsored by the Monmouth County Branch of the English-Speaking Union, and the stakes were high.
Each of the contestants had practiced and prepared, each had studied and rehearsed, and all of them performed wonderfully. Despite the competition, the atmosphere among the students was mutually supportive. Their audience included teachers, parents, and members of the ESU, as well as five theater professionals who served as expert judges. Each student presented a sonnet and a short monologue.
MIDDLETOWN: THESE MAGIC MOMENTS

Valentine's Day isn't until next Saturday, but February 8 might be declared "Valentine's Sunday" by virtue of it being the date for a special matinee concert at the Middletown Arts Center, one that puts an intriguingly local spin on some of the most romantic records of the 1960s and 70s.
Running from 2 to 4 pm, the concert stars a set of Garden State favorites with a multi-generational fanbase: Jersey City's own Duprees ("My Own True Love," "Have You Heard" and the sublime "You Belong to Me") paired with a Jersey Shore guy whose smooth brand of vocal soul took him to the top of the pops, years before the Boss ever set his hungry heart on the Billboard charts.

AROUND THE GREEN: WHERE'S SANTA?
Above, Tuba Christmas toots exclusively at Middletown Arts Center on the evening of December 7 — while below, Santa (seen in a past appearance at Red Bank's West Side Tree Lighting ceremony) will be making the scene all over the Green in weeks to come.
The first official sightings are expected to start filtering in tonight, when the Santa Express rolls out of station stop Little Silver on its way to Red Bank — but even if you miss Santa and Mrs. Claus at the annual Holiday Express Concert and Town Lighting ceremony, there are numerous other opportunities for an audience with The Big Red One in and around the greater Green, beginning as early as Saturday afternoon, November 29.

MIDDLETOWN: A THREE-DAY TASTE OF ITALY
Actor and playwright Frank Ingrasciotta performs his Off Broadway solo show BLOOD TYPE: RAGU at Middletown Arts Center on November 15 as part of a new series of Savor the Arts events.
It's called Savor the Arts — "a series of culture-specific events that blend performances with culinary tastings, exhibits, workshops, armchair travel presentations and more" — and it's a multi-sensory whirlwind that begins this weekend, when the Middletown Arts Center (MAC) invites the public to immerse itself in the culture of Italy (and, by extension, the Italian-American experience).
MIDDLETOWN: APPETIZER FOR ARTS SERIES
Actor and playwright Frank Ingrasciotta performs his Off Broadway solo show BLOOD TYPE: RAGU at Middletown Arts Center on November 15, as part of a new series of Savor the Arts events.
Press release from Middletown Arts Center
Starting in November 2014, the Middletown Arts Center (MAC) will offer a unique way to enjoy artistic experiences from around the globe with Savor the Arts, a series of culture-specific events that blend performances with culinary tastings, exhibits, workshops, armchair travel presentations and more. Patrons will have the opportunity to enjoy engaging activities that bring a particular culture to life.
Each multi-sensory weekend will be a mini-cultural immersion meant to educate and entertain. The Savor the Arts series begins with a celebration of Italian culture from November 14-16. Events include armchair travel presentations on the Almafi Coast and Puglia, as well as culinary tastings, a Paint and Sip Workshop featuring an Italian scene, an exquisite presentation of Italian art and music, and the Off Broadway one-man production Blood Type: Ragu.
'MAC' THE CALENDAR FOR KIDS' ART PROJECT
Students from several Middletown elementary schools pose with their contributions to a display of Calendar Project art, now on view at the township's Arts Center.
In honor of the 350th Anniversary of Middletown, students from twelve township elementary schools reproduced their artwork from the annual "My Middletown School Year Calendar Project" on 4' x 4' mural panels, currently on view at the Middletown Arts Center (MAC). Having been displayed at the Church Street facility since the Middletown 350 Parade on June 21, the panels will be relocated for display to Croydon Hall on Leonardville Road, in conjunction with Middletown Day on Saturday, September 27.
The "My Middletown School Year Calendar Project" was initiated in 2010 by Linda Kish, who serves on the Board of Trustees of the Middletown Township Cultural and Arts Council. Participating Middletown elementary schools include Middletown Village, Harmony, Lincroft, Leonardo, New Monmouth, Ocean Avenue, Navesink, Fairview, Bayview, Nutswamp, Port Monmouth and River Plaza Elementary Schools.
The students worked with their art teachers to create pieces depicting places around Middletown Township. The selected entries were then forwarded to the MAC, which made the final selection of art featured in the calendar.

MIDDLETOWN: THE LAWN IS A BATTLEFIELD
The last outdoor concert of the summer season hits the lawn at Middletown Arts Center, with a Tuesday night performance by Pat Benatar tribute band Little Paradise.
She's won a shopping cart of awards; platinum-plated an entire wall of her home, and topped more Billboards than a literal flock of seagulls — but when it comes to getting her due in tribute acts, Pat Benatar falls far short of the Beatles, Zep, Floyd, Dead, Springsteen, Sabbath, or even Sublime. That said, if you must see just one Benatar tribute band this summer — let it be Little Paradise, the five-piece salute fronted by vocalist Cathy DaPrato. Armed with a hopper of 1980s-era hits ("Love is a Battlefield," "Hell is For Children," "Shadows of the Night" and of course, "Hit Me With Your Best Shot"), the band takes it to the north lawn of the Middletown Arts Center (MAC) this Tuesday evening, August 26, for the venue's final free outdoor concert of 2014.

MIDDLETOWN: BURGER, BURTNIK, BEATLES
Bob Burger and Glen Burtnik (left and center in photo, with Jimmy Leahy) bring a pedigreed and pro-ey tribute to The Beatles out on the lawn at Middletown Arts Center, this Tuesday evening.
No one will ever question the Beatle bonafides of Jersey music legend Glen Burtnik — not when the veteran solo artist, hit songwriter, and former member of Styx boasts a resume highlighted by scores of performances as Paul McCartney in the Broadway production of Beatlemania. It's a pedigree that the New Brunswick-bred Asbury Park resident has put to dazzling good use, during his many retro-rocking revues at the Count Basie, and occasional Beatlefest sets with his Liverpool project.
What, then, could Bob Burger possibly do to top Burtnik at his Fab Four game? After all, it's not as if the singer-songwriter-guitarist-attorney was ever called upon to…oh. That. All of which serves to prove that Burger and Burtnik — frequent songwriting partners (for Styx and others) and jam-session buds — mean Beatle-booted business when it comes to delivering a sonic salute that's backed with authority and real affinity. They'll be doing just that, and for free, when they take it to the north lawn outside the Middletown Arts Center this Tuesday evening, August 12, for a concert event that kicks off at 7 pm.
MIDDLETOWN: A SWEET 350 PARTY 'N PARADE
The Middletown Arts Center is the scene for a Saturday afternoon celebration of the township's big 350th birthday — as well as a night-before Gala party on Friday.
A bit lost, perhaps, amid all the historic hoopla over New Jersey's 350th birthday is the fact that the Garden State shares an anniversary year with the largest municipality in Monmouth County AND the greater Green — Middletown Township. Officially first settled by the Quakers in 1664 (the year that the English acquired what was formerly called "New Netherland" from the Dutch), its nearly 60 square miles once sprawled even further into areas of what are now Atlantic Highlands, Hazlet, Highlands, Keansburg and other local communities.
That milestone birthday hasn't gone overlooked in M'town, however, as the township gears up for an official observance that begins Friday evening, June 20, with an Anniversary Gala that takes place both inside and outside the Middletown Arts Center. Going on from 7 to 11 pm, the formal affair features dinner, dancing, fundraising casino tables, "tricky tray" prizes, and a sneak peek at the "50 Year Time Capsule" of Middletown memorabilia that's scheduled to be interred the next day. Take it here for reservations of last-minute tix ($85 per person; includes two glasses of beer or wine) — and take it around the corner for more public-welcome birthday excitement this weekend.

MAC CASTS THE FIRST BRICK FOR M'TOWN's 350
Press release from Middletown Arts Council
The Middletown Township Cultural and Arts Council is excited to launch a brick campaign to celebrate Middletown's 350th Anniversary and raise funds for arts programming. A 50-year time capsule will be buried on the lawn at the Middletown Arts Center, surrounded by an "Anniversary Plaza" designed with personalized bricks. Donors who purchase a brick will have their special message be part of this beautiful plaza for years to come, and also will help the Arts Council continue its mission of bringing enriching arts programming to the community.
The Arts Center's Executive Director Maggie O'Brien has been thrilled to receive donations of bricks from several of her volunteers. "These are individuals who have donated their time and now their dollars to express their appreciation for the organization," said O'Brien. "It's touching to read their messages and realize just how much the Arts Center means to them. It's also wonderful to see members of the community express themselves in these bricks."
Nineteen-year-old CJ Marsini of Middletown stepped up with a brick donation. Marsini, who will be attending Boston's Berklee College of Music this fall, performed in the Arts Council's first talent show at the age of seven. He has grown up on the Middletown Arts Center's stage and has volunteered at the MAC in numerous capacities from performer to summer camp counselor. His mother, photographer Tammy Marsini, serves on the Board of the non-profit Middletown Township Cultural and Arts Council, which operates the Arts Center.
To Kathy Rauffer and her late husband, Walt Rauffer, a pioneer in television broadcasting and engineering, the Middletown Arts Center meant more to them than just bricks and mortar. Walt donated his expertise and time to create the Art Center's state-of-the-art theater sound and lighting system and worked the equipment for performances. The Rauffer Family purchased a brick in his honor.
"Walt started volunteering in 2007. He felt the organization was truly community focused and he loved the diversity there," says Kathy. "With so many threats to the arts, Walt wanted others to see the value the Arts Center offered, and he praised its value every chance he had. He wanted people to embrace it, and get behind everything it offered."
Walt was Technical Director for the Children's Television Network's Sesame Street, The Electric Company, and many other commercial sets. He worked with stars like Big Bird, Jim Henson and the Muppets, Misterodgers and Bill Cosby. Highlights from Walt's career include the creation of the first mobile news truck, the creation of Sesame Street's first tape room at its 81st Street Theater set, and a 1978 Emmy Win for Christmas Eve on Sesame Street.
According to Kathy, "Walt told me that when he graduated from RCA Institute and told his father he was getting a job in television, his father said 'why don't you get a job in something that will last?' — Walt just knew when something felt right and had the potential to grow and take off. That's the way he felt about the Middletown Arts Center –he knew it would succeed. "
The Arts Center relies on donor contributions to maintain its affordable, year-round arts and cultural programs. In 2013, the MAC boasted over 60,000 visits from area residents of all ages and abilities. Those interested in purchasing a brick can download an order form at www.middletownarts.org or visit the Arts Center.
The public is invited to the Time Capsule Celebration on June 21. This free, family friendly event will feature a parade, the burying of the time capsule, entertainment and more! Brick donors will be recognized at this event and the "Anniversary Plaza" will be dedicated later in the year.
HONEST TALK ON SUBSTANCE ABUSE IN M'TOWN
This Thursday evening, May 14, the public is invited to take part in "an honest discussion about the legal, health and personal consequences of alcohol and drug abuse," during the 11th annual Reaching Out community conference in Middletown.
Presented by the Middletown Municipal Alliance for the Prevention of Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, the 7 pm event will be held in the auditorium of the Middletown Arts Center, adjacent to the train station on Church Street.

The First 100 Days: Trump's Immigration Policies
By Verma Law Firm
Immigration reforms was a common theme in many campaign speeches, and the Trump administration has made their intentions to crack down on immigration very clear. In the first 100 days of his presidency, Trump has begun to make progress in immigration policies. The new administration has struggled against setbacks and resistance, but there have been a number of executive actions and administrative changes that have already begun to affect the immigration policy in the U.S.
In both February and March, the number of arrests at the southwest border has decreased by roughly 40%. In the past two decades, such a sharp decrease has never been recorded. Some of the decreases are predicted to be due to the hardline stance on immigration that the Trump administration has taken, making it less appealing for immigrants to enter the country illegally. While it is expected that the effects of the current policy will be short-lived, Trump is still looking into options to secure the border against illegal immigrants.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is also reporting a greater number of arrests of undocumented persons inside the U.S. Many of these immigrants do not have a criminal record. The arrest numbers are greatly increased from those of 2015 and 2016, when ICE and other agencies were directed to use greater discretion as to the arrests and prioritization of immigrants for removal.
The Trump administration has also worked towards passing immigration-related legislation, including decreasing immigration from a number of Muslim-majority countries, increasing border security, and pushing for greater enforcement in the U.S. The administration has also made a show of reversing many Obama-era policies and priorities for enforcement.
Trump has also struggled with judicial and funding setbacks, which have prevented his long-promised border wall from materializing, as well as crippling his attempts to implement an immigration ban. The immigration ban has been one of the fiercest fights yet, and many states have worked to block the immigration ban in court. Similarly, there has been little financial progress towards building a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, which was a cornerstone of Trump's campaign promises.
Immigration advocates have denounced the President's actions as going against the American idea of welcoming immigrants and refugees to pursue their dreams, and has weakened the country as a result of his actions.

think-cell chart 4 launched
Berlin, November 17, 2005
On November 17th, think-cell launched the brand new version 4 of think-cell chart – its flagship product for chart creation in Microsoft PowerPoint. The new release will be delivered to all customers under the think-cell partnership program and is also available as a full-featured 30 day trial.
"Among the many valuable suggestions from our customers one has always been most prominent: the external Excel link." explains Arno Schödl, think-cell's CTO. "I could perfectly understand that. Since my days as a young McKinsey Summer Associate I had dreamed of an Excel linking mechanism for charts that really works. It has been a challenging task but finally we've done it. We are very proud of it and invite everyone to take a closer look."
"We have improved think-cell chart a lot." adds Markus Hannebauer, think-cell's CEO. "The automatic labeling has become much more powerful and individual styling is now supported. But the Excel link sticks out of the other improvements. It takes the interaction with think-cell chart to a whole new level. All people working with complex data, e.g., controllers and analysts, will love this feature and will now finish a former day's work in minutes."

Lord chancellor delivers speech at president David Greene's inauguration
16 Oct 2020 •
Rt Hon Robert Buckland MP, lord chancellor, delivered a speech on 14 October to mark the inauguration of president David Greene as the 176th president of the Law Society of England and Wales.
Well thank you very much indeed, and It's a huge pleasure to speak today at David Greene's inauguration as the 176th president of the Law Society of England and Wales.
Many congratulations to you, David, on your appointment. Let me also take this opportunity to extend warm and sincere thanks to Simon Davis for his sterling work over what has been more than the last year, and indeed to all at the Law Society for the strong, constructive relationship that both I, and my Department, enjoy with you. I look forward to continuing to work closely with you in the year ahead.
That David takes office today, and not in July, is of course a reminder of the disruption we have all experienced this year in the face of coronavirus. In the early days of the pandemic, I, as Lord Chancellor, was keenly aware that there are instances where justice simply cannot wait, and of the intrinsic need to ensure that justice could continue to be done.
I have been committed throughout, therefore, to keeping the wheels of justice turning, whilst ensuring the safety of those who use our courts, and I am extremely grateful to all those who have demonstrated their own commitment and determination.
There is, of course, more to do but we have made significant progress. Last month, Magistrates Courts completed more cases than they received, thereby reducing the backlog. And in the Crown Court, over 180 rooms can now be safely used for jury trials and we are listing over 200 trials per week. We've already installed plexiglass screens in over 300 rooms and we are on target to safely open 250 Crown Court rooms for jury trials by the end of this month.
And I've also unlocked vital capacity by opening 12 Nightingale Courts to provide 18 extra court rooms, and this month we will be opening 5 more sites, creating a further 9 courtrooms.
But court recovery will require support from the entire sector, and we can't deliver this plan in isolation. I am immensely proud of the profession for the enormous effort that so many of you have made to ensure that this has been possible – it has taken collaboration, resilience, and great flexibility to adjust to new ways of working – from using phone and video technology to enable remote hearings, to putting in place and adhering to social distancing measures to allow some hearings to continue in person.
We're now working more flexibly than ever. Indeed, delivering this speech remotely to you today is just another reminder of the ways in which society has had to adjust. But ours is a justice system which has long demonstrated its ability to adapt to meet the ever-changing needs of society. Digitisation, for example, was a priority of mine long before coronavirus hit, and will be ever more crucial now in our continued success.
With that in mind, I announced a further £142m investment in the courts system, in July of this year, in order to speed up technological improvements, modernise courtrooms, and upgrade the court estate.
Whilst we have made sure that the justice system has kept moving over the last few months, however, I know that we will need to do more in the face of this unprecedented challenge, to bring down the current accumulation of cases. But rest assured that I, and the Government, are committed to continuing to do what is necessary to support our world-class justice system.
The success of this system is thanks to two fundamental principles of our constitution, which act as guardians of fairness in our society: an independent judiciary, and the rule of law.
When I took office as Lord Chancellor, I swore an oath to uphold and respect these principles, and I want to take this opportunity today to reassure you of my continued commitment to my duties under that oath.
There has been much heat in recent weeks about lawyers, with strong words on both sides. Let me put a couple of things straight:
No, the Government is not acting beyond the law, and secondly the practicing lawyers, solicitors, barristers, and legal executives that I know leave their politics, if they have any, at home, and don't bring it to the office, to chambers, to the robing room, or to court.
Social media has created a new platform for the promotion of often very political statements by lawyers. This can lead to misunderstanding, and sometimes harassment, threats and worse. Whilst we should not be shy of robust debate, no-one should be vilified for doing their job, whether we be public servants or professionals in private practice.
Lawyers play an important role in upholding the law, representing their clients - and their sometimes political views - and ensuring that people have access to justice, and I, and this Government, are absolutely clear that any form of violence or abuse against lawyers is utterly unacceptable.
All of us in the profession have a responsibility to each other and I will continue to play my part to enable lawyers to play our vitally important role in society.
Trade and global competitiveness
It is this country's commitment to the rule of law that is one of the drivers behind the sterling reputation of English and Welsh law, and the success and competitiveness of the UK's legal sector.
As you will know, legal services in England and Wales contribute over £25bn of GVA to the economy. The law is one of our greatest exports, with legal services posting a trade surplus in 2018 of £6.5bn, and with 40% of all global corporate arbitration using English and Welsh law. This global success remains at the forefront of my mind as our negotiations with the European Union continue, and the Government remains committed, absolutely committed, to working hard to agree a deal.
There will, of course, be changes that both businesses and the Government need to prepare for, whatever the agreement we reach with the EU on our future trading relationship, and I would like to thank you at the Law Society for working so closely with us to help ensure that the profession is ready for those changes.
The recent webinars preparing the sector for the end of the transition period, for example, have been extremely well attended, and are a great example of collaborative working between my Department and the Law Society to support the sector.
I am extremely grateful to you, too, for working with us as we negotiate free trade agreements across the world, and I know my officials have greatly valued your involvement and contribution. I was delighted that the Department was able to grant you £80,000 recently to support your international work, and I look forward to continuing that work with you to further our international ambitions.
And on that note, David, I'd like to wish you the best of luck in your presidency.

The Battle of Oriskany 1777
Home » Non Fiction » 18th Century Wars » American War of Independence » The Battle of Oriskany 1777
Leonaur Original
Author(s): Ellis H. Roberts
The battle for the Mohawk
Throughout history there have been many battles but few, other than those that were momentous, have endured in the collective memory. The Battle of Oriskany will be memorable for some as featuring in the classic novel (and subsequently movie) of Walter D. Edmonds book 'Drums along the Mohawk.' Its historical significance, the subject of this book, is no less interesting. It became for example one of the bloodiest encounters fought by the forces of the United States in terms of casualties suffered as a percentage of those engaged with over 50% of the American force killed or wounded. It is also popularly believed to be the first occasion the American national flag flew in victory over a field of conflict. Oriskany was fought on 6th August, 1777 during the American War of Independence between the Mohawk Valley relief force of militia and Indians, under Herkimer which was pushing towards Fort Stanwix to relieve its siege, and a British force whose task it was to block them, commanded by Barry St. Leger. St. Leger's force consisted of Hanau and Loyalist troops supported by Iroquois Indian allies. Herkimer's force was ambushed just 10 miles from Stanwix in a small valley. There ensued a bloody, close quarter conflict typical of the deep woods, with protagonists often firing at each other from point blank cover or coming to hand to hand combat. The outcome was ambiguous, but probably resulted tactically in favour of the British, though, more importantly, strategically for the Americans. This Leonaur edition benefits from a campaign overview with maps by Henry Carrington. Available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket.
The Mohawk from the mouth of the Oriskany curved northward, so that here it is as far away in a right line, perhaps a mile in each case. The bottoms were marshy, as they yet are where the trees exclude the sun. Now the New York Central Railroad and the Erie Canal mark the general direction of the march of the patriots from their starting-place hither. Then forests of beach and birch and maple and hemlock covered the land where now orchards and rich meadows extend, and grain-fields are ripening for the harvest. Even the forests are gone, and the Mohawk and the hills and the ravine and "Battle Brook," are the sole witnesses to confirm the traditions which have come down to us. The elms which fling their plumes to the sky, are young successors to the knightly warriors who were once masters here. Through the forests Herkimer from his elevation could cate the general outlines of the battle. Some of his advance had fallen at the farthest point to which they had marched. Upon their left, the enemy had appeared in force, and had closed up from the southward, and on the east side of the ravine. The patriots had been pushed to the north side of the road, away from the line which the corduroy still marks in the ravine, and those who tied sought the river.<br>
Skeletons have been found in the smaller ravine about two hundred rods west, and at the mouth of the Oriskany, an extent of a mile and a half; and gun-barrels and other relics along the line of the Erie Canal, and down towards the river. These are witnesses of the limits of the battle. They mark the centre here. Here gathered the brave militia without uniforms, in the garb of farmers, for their firesides and their homes, and the republic just born which was to be. Against them here, in the ravine, pursuing and capturing the rear-guard on the east of the ravine or down in it, and thence towards the river, rushed from the forests, uniformed and well equipped, Johnson's Greens in their gay colour, the German Chasseurs, Europe's best soldiers, with picked men of British and Canadian regiments, and the Indian warriors decked in the equipments with which they made war brilliant.<br>
Some of this scene, Herkimer saw; some of it extent of space and thickness of forest hid from his eye. But here he faced the enemy, and here he ordered the battle. During the carnage, a storm of wind and rain and lightning brought a respite. Old men preserve the tradition that in the path by which the enemy came, a broad windfall was cut, and was seen for long years afterwards. The elements caused only a short lull. In came at the thick of the strife, a detachment of Johnson's Greens; and they sought to appear reinforcements for the patriots.<br>
They paid dearly for the fraud, for thirty were quickly killed. Captain Gardenier slew three with his spear, one after the other. Captain Dillenback assailed by three, brained one, shot the second, and bayoneted the third. Henry Thompson grew faint with hunger, sat down on the body of a dead soldier, ate his lunch, and refreshed resumed the fight. William Merckley, mortally wounded, to a friend offering to assist him, said: "Take care of yourself, leave me to my fate."<br>
Such men could not be whipped. The Indians finding they were losing many, became suspicious that their allies wished to destroy them, and fired on them, giving unexpected aid to the patriot band. Tradition relates that an Oneida maid, only fifteen years old, daughter of a chief, fought on the side of the patriots, firing her rifle, and shouting her battle cry. The Indians raised the cry of retreat, "Oonah!" "Oonah!" Johnson heard the firing; of a sortie from the fort. The British fell back, after five hours of desperate fight. J Herkimer and his gallant men held the ground.<br>

And They Lived Happily Ever After. The End? Postfeminism and the Rebranding of the Disney Princesses
View/Open: Walters_georgetown_0076M_13683.pdf (9.8MB) Bookview
Walters, Heather LeighAnn
Benson-Allott, Caetlin
This thesis uses the framework of postfeminist theory to critically examine the marketing materials and modern merchandise associated with the classic-era Disney Princesses, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Snow White and the revisionist live-action films and/or merchandise in which these characters appear. Throughout my thesis, I argue that the Walt Disney Company is rebranding the Disney Princess franchise in an effort for these characters to remain current and relevant with audiences and consumers so that their profitability can be maintained. Analyzing the posters, trailers, and merchandise of the revisionist live-action films, I have found that Disney has utilized and commodified the neoliberalist rhetoric of girl power, female empowerment, and individualism in order to rebrand Disney's most retrograde princess characters. Furthermore, I analyze the rhetoric of Disney's "Dream Big, Princess" advertising campaign to understand the messages the company is promulgating to its broadly-aged female audience and how they are aligning such messages with their well-known princess characters.

Home Bollywood News Jennifer Garner's new boyfriend has 'anger,' 'control' issues, ex-wife claims
Jennifer Garner's new boyfriend has 'anger,' 'control' issues, ex-wife claims
Ria Khan
Jennifer Garner's new boyfriend, John Miller is said to have some "anger" issues according to his ex-wife, Caroline Campbell.
Jennifer Garner's new boyfriend, John Miller, might have some skeletons in his closet.
Miller and his ex-wife, Caroline Campbell, had a custody battle while going through their divorce, and in 2016, Campbell filed a declaration to try and set an official custody schedule with 50/50 custody of their two children, according to The Blast.
"John's words and actions," Campbell said, "led me to believe that his insistence on having our children half the time was primarily to avoid having to pay child support and not because he intended to take care of our children himself, something he rarely did."
She ultimately agreed to the custody arrangement because she wanted to "avoid his anger" and "minimize the impact of the pending divorce" on their children; however, the arrangement eventually fell apart because of "John's imposition of unilateral rules that seriously interfere with and undermine my ability to care for our children," she claimed.
Campbell, a professional violist, described "John's control over" her due "in large part to major differences in our personalities."
She added, "To avoid John's anger, for years I usually went along with what he wanted when we disagreed … and I cannot stand up to him. He is a superb and aggressive negotiator and I am not. When we disagree about specific issues, he considers his opinions as controlling decisions, seldom considering compromises I propose.
"I believe he feels satisfaction from controlling me and making me pay the price for ending the marriage," Campbell continued. "To avoid scenes, minimize the stress on the children, and protect their happy home environment, I usually opt to go along rather than risk John's anger."
Miller, who is CEO of a burger chain called CaliBurger, filed a declaration of his own in September 2017. In it, he cited one example where he went without seeing their kids for eight days, arguing, "I do not believe it is in the children's best interest to be away from me for such a long period of time."
He argued his schedule was flexible because he had the ability to work from home. The two sides eventually reached an agreement in December 2017. They had married in 2005.
Garner, who recently finalized her divorce from Ben Affleck, has reportedly been dating Miller for six months.

Innovation must become 'business as usual' for network companies
Jonathan Brearley, senior partner, networks, Ofgem talks about the need for network companies to use innovation in everyday working practices.

Robots that can repair gas mains. Drones that can be used to monitor electricity pylons, and technology that reduces the voltage on an electricity network at the flick of switch. These are just some of the projects that energy networks and other businesses have developed over the past few years.
Under Ofgem's revenue=incentives+innovation+outputs (RIIO) network regulation, network companies have made a lot of progress in their ability to use innovation. It wasn't always the case. Following privatisation in the 1990s the focus was on cutting costs, and rightly so with the cost of the networks on bills falling by 17 per cent over the last 20 years. However, as any business would tell you, cost cutting leads to less focus on research and development which benefits consumers.
Things have been changing. Since 2010 for electricity distributors and 2013 for other companies Ofgem has widened the availability of innovation funding available through the price controls that we set for the network companies and they have responded well. Independent consultants estimated that the net benefits to consumers of distribution network operators' (DNO) innovation projects in the 2010-2015 price is around £1 billion, rising to £8 billion if the learnings are adopted across all of Britain's network companies.
Changing role
The companies need to go further though. The energy system is going through unprecedented changes with rapid growth in renewable energy, falling costs for electricity storage and new approaches to providing demand side response. At the same time, the role of network companies is changing, especially in electricity distribution. Gone are the days when the DNO's job was simply taking electricity from the high-voltage grid and transporting it passively to customers. As the system becomes smarter and more flexible, the DNOs are taking on the wider system operator role where they actively manage flows on their networks.
All these developments point towards innovation being critical to how network companies do their job in future. Put simply, innovation is no longer a 'nice to have' it must be part of the day job and we need to see a stronger culture of innovation developing across all network companies.
Group working
This spring we will consult on the framework we will use to set tougher price controls for network companies from 2021. Our price controls will set strong incentives for innovation, but in return I want see further collaboration between network companies on solving systemic problems so that smart solutions can be rolled out across all networks.
Group working is also important so that we avoid duplication on projects. For example, when we announced the winners of last year's Network Innovation Competition we told three DNOs to work together on the projects they submitted to remove duplication and coordinate learnings which will support markets for providing electricity flexibility services. I also want to see more evidence that network companies are working with third parties such as technology providers on innovation projects.
New uses for data, energy services such as demand-side-response, electricity storage and the roll out of electric vehicles throw up great challenges and opportunities that across the sector we must make the most of for consumers.
The networks have made good progress over the last decade, but we need a step change so that they become highly innovative business which are not as reliant on specific funding programmes as they are currently. The need for the companies to use innovation will only increase in the next decade. Developing, testing and deploying new approaches quickly is the best way for them to stay on top of the major changes we are seeing in the energy system and deliver the best possible service – and value – to consumers.
Jonathan Brearley will be speaking at Network's Future Networks Conference in Birmingham in April.

DROWNING PREVENTION PROGRAMMES VOLUNTEER
Splashing out this summer
THE children of Bimini can now enjoy the stunning marine environment that surrounds them with increased safety and confidence thanks to a groundbreaking partnership led by Save The Bays.
The environmental advocacy group partnered with SwimTayka and Waterkeepers Bahamas to offer free swim and lifeguard training to young Biminites, who responded enthusiastically and in considerable numbers to the opportunity to increase their self-assurance in and around the water.
"All Bahamians should enjoy the ocean, which is a sacred gift that has been bestowed upon our people," said Joseph Darville, chairman of STB. "At the same time, we want to ensure that people, and especially children, can swim, play and get to know their precious marine environment in conditions that are as safe as possible.
"So many times in the past, enjoyment of the water has been marred by tragedies that could so easily have been prevented had the proper training and life-skills been in place."
International group SwimTayka sends qualified instructors into developing communities around the world to not only to teach both children and adults how to swim, a skill that could one day save their life, but also to educate them about caring for the open water and how to preserve it for future generations. They also teach skills that open the door to future jobs as lifeguards and swimming instructors.
The group sent qualified volunteer swimming instructors from around the world to lead the free swimming classes for the children of Bimini. The programme included instruction in basic water safety, first aid and environmental education, while important classes were also led by SwimTayka's lead drowning prevention volunteer.
Nathalie Vallieres Martin, SwimTayka board member, said: "This week has been an incredibly enriching experience, not only for the kids but for us as volunteers as well. The kids have learnt a life skill, and they will be able to contribute to the island's drowning prevention message. We are so grateful to our partner, Save The Bays."
The event was hosted by Rashema Ingraham, the Coastal Waterkeeper for Bimini and executive director of Waterkeeper Bahamas, which is part of a global network of organisations that aim to make as much of the world's water as possible fishable, drinkable and swimmable.
Ms Ingraham said: "Most of our efforts centre on monitoring water quality levels and regular reporting. We recognise however that the human element is central to all of our work and that the point of swimmable water is that the community has the skills and opportunity to take advantage of it."
She said the great response from the people of Bimini has encouraged them to seek to conduct similar exercises in other communities around the Bahamas, and that she hopes that SwimTayka will continue to partner with STB and Waterkeeper Bahamas to make this a reality.
Adult swim classes will start in Bimini next week.

Generally speaking, most people try to protect their credit score. Having a decent credit score allows you to finance a home, a car – any expense you cannot afford to pay for all up front. But what if you are considering bankruptcy? How will bankruptcy affect your credit score?
Bob Smith lost his job about six months ago. He is in an industry where he knows it is going to take 4 – 6 months to find another decent paying job. He has been trying as hard he can to find another one – he just can't. As a result, all of his medical bills have gone into collections, his credit cards are behind and he even lost a car to repossession. About 30 different bill collectors call Bob everyday demanding payment. Bob is now getting sued in Court. Bob's credit is probably sitting right around 450 or so. Bob has gone to numerous banks to try to get a car loan so he can get transportation so he can get a job. The banks won't touch Bob because of his credit score.
After Bob's bankruptcy is over, Bob's creditors are now forced to report "Discharged in Chapter 7 Bankruptcy" on his credit report. Now, when Bob goes to get that bank loan, the bank knows that all of the bad debts that used to be on Bob's credit are now gone. The bank knows that those creditors cannot collect on those old debts – that makes the bank feel more optimistic about actually receiving their monthly payments from Bob going forward. Moreover, the bank knows that Bob cannot file another bankruptcy for quite some time (up to 8 years in some instances).
If you have really good credit, like an 850, your score will likely come down 100 – 150 points.
If you have an average score, like a 650, your score will likely fluctuate up or down by about 50 – 100 points.
However, if you have a poor score, like Bob's 450, your score will likely increase by 75 – 150 points just because you are almost immediately eliminating all of that ongoing negative reporting to your credit.
Robert has had a great job for 15 years. He has a perfect 850 credit score. However, Robert just found out that after 15 years, he is being let go with no notice. Robert is also in an industry where he knows it is going to take 4 – 6 months to find another decent paying job. Robert does not have the savings to service all of his debt during that 4 – 6 months. He knows, as a certainty, that bills will not get paid and his credit will begin to suffer.
While Robert is not currently behind on anything, he knows its coming. He bites the bullet and files bankruptcy.
Robert has avoided the inevitable negative reporting to his credit. He has avoided the phone calls, the collections letter, the lawsuits and being turned away by potential lenders. Yes, Robert's credit score of 850 has fallen to around a 700. However, had Robert not acted when he did, all of those creditors would have started negatively reporting. Robert's score would have gone from an 850, down to a 750, down to a 650 – and, before you know it – Robert and Bob would have been right there together sitting at a 450.
The bottom line is that filing bankruptcy is not the end of your credit. Usually, it's just the beginning.

Remember, everyone - Caturday is a state of mind.
The Jungle Cat (Felis chaus) is a medium-sized cat that can be found in southern Asia, from southern China all the way to the Nile Valley in Egypt. It is sometimes called the Jungle Lynx due to the tufts on its ears, long legs, and proportionally-short tail, but it is not part of the Lynx genus. In fact, the Jungle cat is the largest remaining species of the Felis genus.
The Jungle Cat, occupying such a wide range, tends to adhere to Bergmann's Rule in that the cats are largest in the northern parts of its range and are smaller and smaller the closer they are to the tropics. Jungle cats can grow up to 37 inches in length, with a 12-inch tail. The largest cats weigh up to 35 pounds, but on average they weigh only 18 pounds. The Jungle Cat is unusual because its claws on its fore and hind paws are of equal length - typically felids have claws that are longer on their forepaws.
Jungle Cats typically adopt abandoned burrows that other animals have made, or rest in tree holes, rock coves or dense vegetation. They are skilled jumpers, sometimes able to catch birds on the wing, and are quite fast - although they rarely pursue prey that has evaded their initial pounce. Their prey includes hares, rodents, reptiles, amphibians and even wild pigs.
Because the Jungle Cat has such a wide and varied range, there are nine recognized subspecies. In general, the Jungle Cat is considered Least Concern by the IUCN, but the decline in the populations of Felis chaus nilotica in Egypt and Felis chaus chaus in the Caucasus are extremely troubling.

Projects/Usability/HIG/Toggle Buttons
< Projects | Usability | HIG
Revision as of 15:49, 27 June 2013 by Agateau (Talk | contribs) (Added Implementation section)
2 Guidelines
2.1 When to Use
2.2 When not to Use
3 Icon and Label
3.1 First option: Describe the state reached when the button is down
3.2 Second option: Describe the current state
3.3 Which option to use
A toggle button is a button which stays down when clicked once and goes up when clicked a second time.
Use a toggle button to indicate a state.
Example: A word processor should use toggle buttons to indicate the state of "Bold", "Italic" or "Underline" formatting.
(Toggle buttons used in a rich text editor)
When not to Use
Do not use a toggle button to indicate an action.
Example: A music player should not use a toggle button to implement a combined Play/Pause button. It should use a normal button and adjust the icon and label to represent the action which would be performed when clicked.
Icon and Label
There are two ways to label a toggle button. You can either describe the state reached when the button is down or describe the current state.
First option: Describe the state reached when the button is down
In this case the icon and label should not change when the button is down.
Example: We create a toggle button to toggle the visibility of a sidebar. The label of this button is "Show Sidebar". When the button is toggled down, it should still say "Show Sidebar": it should not be changed to "Hide Sidebar".
Think of the button as a check box: when you click a check box you do not expect its label to change. If it makes more sense to change the button text to "Hide Sidebar" when the sidebar is shown then you should use a normal button, not a toggle button.
It is worth noting that unlike normal buttons, the label of a toggle button does not need to contain a verb, as long as there is no ambiguity. In this example the label can be reduced to "Sidebar".
Second option: Describe the current state
In this case the label will often include a passive verb. For example a button to lock or unlock an element would say "Unlocked" when it is up and "Locked" when it is down. The icon should also change to match the label.
Which option to use
There is no strict rule to decide which option is the best, it depends on the context of your application. Note however that the second option has one drawback: since the label change, the button width will change as well. This can be annoying if the button is in the middle of a toolbar as it will cause all buttons after it to shift horizontally.
KPushButton for generic buttons.
KAction is used to generate buttons in toolbars.
Both classes have a 'checkable' property to turn them into toggle buttons. You can then use the 'checked' property to set the state of the button.

Pierce County Library System opening book drops and turning on Wi-Fi
By: Mary Getchell
PIERCE COUNTY, Washington – Welcome back to some Pierce County Library System services. Staff is eager to serve Pierce County residents with limited services from the library buildings, while the buildings remain closed to the public to help reduce the spread of the novel coronavirus pandemic 2019 (COVID-19).
Book drops are now open at eight of the Library System's 20 libraries: Fife, Gig Harbor, Lakewood, Parkland/Spanaway, South Hill, Summit, Sumner and University Place Pierce County Libraries. In the coming weeks, the Library will open book drops at its other locations. The Library thanks people for holding onto library books, movies and other items for the past several months.
Also, given the ongoing economic burden brought on by the pandemic as well as the overall disruption to library services, the Library System will not assess fines for overdue books and materials for the remainder of 2020.
Now free Wi-Fi service is available for use outside of all of the library buildings in parking lots, with a continued emphasis on social distancing.
Staff is also making plans to offer curbside service for people to pick up books, movies and other materials, as well as copies of prints people may send remotely to printers in the libraries this summer.
For now, staff will be checking in safely the thousands of books and movies people will return to the libraries. At the same time, staff is processing thousands of new books that will be ready for readers.
Librarians and other staff are preparing the library buildings to offer more learning and enjoyment services for Pierce County communities. The Library is reimaging services for the public and starting with limited services, as it readies its operations and offerings to bring more services safely in the coming weeks and months.
The buildings will ensure social distancing for the safety of the public and staff. The safety measures the Library is taking will allow people to use and enjoy libraries with spacing between public computers, queuing areas for checking out books and materials, and other actions to help keep the public and staff safe.
Pierce County Library encourages people to continue checking out e-books, audiobooks and magazines (www.piercecountylibrary.org/books-materials/audiobooks-ebooks/ ) online. It also recommends people check out many research and enjoyable online resources (polariscatalog.piercecountylibrary.org/POLARIS/search/misc/esources.aspx). From resources to help people learn new languages to finding out the price of the antiques and other stuff they are discovering as they have been cleaning out their closets and attics during the state's Stay Home, Stay Healthy order.
In June, the Library launched its Virtual Library (calendar.piercecountylibrary.org/events?l=virtual%20pierce%20county%20library) with online classes and events for people of all ages. Using platforms such as Facebook Groups, Zoom and Microsoft Teams, the virtual library features story times for young learners and their parents, STEAM – Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math – events for school-age children, and book discussions and other events for adults.
While working remotely, staff produced videos from home to bring a variety of services directly to people's computers, phones and mobile devices. From early learning story times and school-age science experiments to crafts and a variety of other topics, the videos support learning and bring enjoyment.
Also, in the coming days the Library System will launch its Summer Reading program for people of all ages. For the most part, the Summer Reading program will be an online program with activities and live events.
The Pierce County Library is committed to safe and welcoming libraries for the public's use and a safe work place for staff, and it will offer further services in the coming weeks and months.

TAIPEI — Formosa Plastics Group, Taiwan's biggest industrial conglomerate and an international provider of petrochemical, plastics and electronic materials, signaled tepid holiday season demand on Monday, citing the escalating U.S.-China trade war and global economic slowdown.
The group's four crown jewels and publicly traded companies — Formosa Plastics, Nanya Plastics, Formosa Petrochemical and Formosa Chemicals and Fibre — have long served as a gauge of demand for industrial and consumer products. Their products are used in industries covering construction, transportation, textiles, footwear, food, daily necessities and consumer electronics.
But executives from each of the four forecast a revenue decline for their company in the October-December quarter compared with the July-September period.
"China's economy is weaker than expected, while the trade war and many geopolitical issues add to the massive uncertainties," Vice Chairman F.Y. Hong of Formosa Chemicals and Fibre told reporters. The European economy lacks optimism as well, Hong said.
Wu Chia-Chau, chairman of Nanya Plastics, echoed that sentiment and said the protracted trade conflicts between Washington and Beijing have hampered overall market confidence.
Most buyers turn cautious when the prices of most petrochemical products are declining, said Jason Lin, chairman and CEO of Formosa Plastics.
China, the world's No. 2 economy, is growing at its slowest pace since 2009, and the country's official manufacturing purchasing managers' index dropped to a 27-month low in October, Lin said.
"Those indicators all fueled market concerns," the chairman said.
The warnings from the industrial heavyweights added to the pessimism about global macroeconomic conditions ahead and dimmed the outlook for what is traditionally the busiest time in many industries. Nanya Plastics is the global top provider of copper coil — a crucial material for the printed circuit boards that all the electronic devices need — while Formosa Plastics is the world's No .2 maker of polyvinyl chloride, the essential base for many plastic products.
The International Monetary Fund recently lowered its global economic growth forecast for this year and 2019 as trade tensions slice into business activities worldwide.
Leo Lee, a petrochemical industry analyst at Yuanta Investment Consulting, said the dramatic uncertainties prevent anyone from being too aggressive in investments or business.

I talked to my little bro a bit ago. I haven't heard from him in quite some time... but then again, being a new Marine takes up your time.
It looks like he's going to be stuck at 29 Palms for his next station, possibly lasting his entire enlistment. HA HA HA, I told him he didn't want to be a tank mechanic! That's what he gets for not listening to his older, wiser sister: life in the middle of a desert.
It was really good to hear from him. I can't believe I'm old enough to have a little brother who's 19 and in the Marine Corps. I'm so proud of him.

Investigation of the coordinated functional activities of cytochrome P450 3A4 and P-glycoprotein in limiting the absorption of xenobiotics in Caco-2 cells
Christine D.H. Tran, Peter Timmins, Barbara R. Conway, William J. Irwin*
The coordination of the functional activities of intestinal CYP3A4 and P-gp in limiting the absorption of xenobiotics in Caco-2 cells was investigated. Growing Caco-2 cells were exposed to increasing concentrations of doxorubicin (1-2 μM) in plastic flasks to encourage a subpopulation of cells, that displayed an intrinsically higher multidrug resistance (mdr) phenotype than the parent cells, to survive and grow. Doxorubicin-exposed (hereinafter referred to as type I cells) and nonexposed Caco-2 cells (parent cells) on collagen-coated inserts were also treated with either 0 (control) or 0.25 μM 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 to promote cellular CYP3A4 expression. Increased P-gp protein expression, as detected by Western blotting, was noted in type I cells (213±54.35%) compared to that of parent cells (100±6.05%). Furthermore, they retained significantly less [3H]vincristine sulphate (p<0.05), a P-gp substrate, after efflux (272.89±11.86 fmol/mg protein) than the parent cells (381.39±61.82 fmol/mg protein). The expression of CYP3A4 in parental cells after 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 treatment was quantified to be 76.2±7.6 pmol/mg protein and comparable with that found in human jejunal enterocytes (70.0±20.0 pmol/mg protein). Type I cells, however, expressed a very low quantity of CYP3A4 both before and after the treatment that was beyond the minimum detection limit of Western blotting. Functionally, the rates of 1-hydroxylation of midazolam by CYP3A for both cell types ranged from 257.0±20.0 to 1057.0±46.0 pmol/min/mg protein. Type I cells, although having a higher P-gp expression and activity comparatively, metabolized midazolam less extensively than the parent cells. The results suggested that there were noncoordinated functional activities of intestinal CYP3A4 and P-gp in Caco-2 cells, although they both functioned independently to minimize intestinal epithelial absorption of xenobiotics. © 2002 Wiley-Liss, Inc. and the American Pharmaceutical Association.
