Thomas Whittle told police he was on doomed snowmobile that killed man — he just 'wasn't driving' it
Jurors in Corner Brook provincial court Tuesday heard Thomas Whittle, accused of driving a snowmobile while drunk and killing his passenger, claim he wasn't operating the vehicle at the time of the lethal crash. Crown prosecutor Renee Coates played an almost two-hour audio recording of an RCMP interview with Whittle conducted in March 2018, when he was arrested for impaired driving causing death. Whittle can be heard agreeing that he was sitting on the front of the snowmobile, but denying he was the one driving it. He told police that Justyn Pollard, who was sitting behind him, was actually operating the machine, with Pollard's hands on the handle bars, throttle and brake, while Whittle's hands rested on the centre of the machine, on a rubber handle in the middle. Whittle claimed he had his hands close to the kill switch of the 2015 green and purple Bombardier Freestyle in case something went wrong. Whittle faces four counts of impaired driving causing death in connection to the 2017 collision, when a snowmobile hurtled across a bridge at the Humber Valley Resort entrance and crashed into a taxi van, killing 21-year-old Pollard. The RCMP interview with Const. John Galway continued playing in the courtroom for an hour and 45 minutes. Over the duration of the recording, Whittle repeatedly tells Galway that he "wasn't driving" and pleaded with the officer to believe him. "I was a passenger in the front," he told Galway. "I am not going to be held responsible for something I didn't do." Whittle tells Galway he remembers very little from that night except for waking up in a pile on the bridge. On Wednesday, the jury heard a second police interview that was recorded just days after the incident took place. At the time, Whittle was recovering from his injuries at Western Memorial Regional Hospital in Corner Brook. Const. Paul Canning, the lead investigator on the case, collected a witness statement in which Whittle said he remembered seeing headlights coming toward him when he was on the bridge. Whittle also told Canning he was not operating the vehicle and that Pollard was in control from the back of the snowmobile. An emotional Whittle cried several times while speaking with police. Witness says footage shows front passenger driving Coates asked Canning on the stand to describe a still photograph of the snowmobile, captured from surveillance footage taken near the Humber Valley Resort gatehouse at about 4 a.m. on Feb. 19, 2017. Canning described the photo in detail, saying the driver in the front was in control and had both of his hands on the handlebars, while the passenger in the back had their hands around the driver's waist. Each member of the jury, nine women and five men, was handed a copy of the picture. The Crown has now finished presenting its case to the jury. Whittle, representing himself at the trial, can now call witnesses or testify, if he chooses. The trial is scheduled until the end of January. Read more from CBC Newfoundland and Labrador
Families subjected to birth alerts deserve an apology, says B.C.'s Representative for Children and Youth
The B.C. government should apologize to families who were the subjects of birth alerts, says the province's Representative for Children and Youth (RCY), Jennifer Charlesworth. "We believe that these families are due a public apology from the provincial government, which should acknowledge how wrong and harmful this practice was," the RCY said in a statement released Jan. 14 in response to IndigiNews' ongoing investigation into the legality of birth alerts. "We also believe that, if information regarding previous birth alerts remains on the current personal health records of any women, such information should be removed." A "birth alert" or "hospital alert" is when a social worker flags an expectant parent to hospital staff — without their consent — because they feel the parent may put their newborn at risk. The hospital then notifies the social worker when the baby is born. "In some cases, these alerts contributed to separating babies from mothers and families at what are critical bonding times," reads the RCY's statement. According to government records obtained by IndigiNews, birth alerts led to babies being apprehended approximately 28 per cent of the time in B.C. And in 2018, 58 per cent of the parents who were subject to birth alerts in B.C. were Indigenous. The RCY provides independent oversight for the province's child welfare system. Charlesworth has served as B.C.'s RCY since August 2018, and her team is responsible for monitoring, investigating, and advocating for children and youth in or from government care. She says she is "very concerned about the content" of documents obtained and published by IndigiNews. These records show that months before B.C.'s Ministry of Children and Family Development (MCFD) formally put a stop to birth alerts on Sept. 16, 2019, the ministry was advised by the province's Ministry of the Attorney General that birth alerts are "illegal and unconstitutional." "For years and years and years, I've been opposed to the notion of birth alerts," says Charlesworth. "In starting in this role, I felt it was really important that we continue to push against the use of birth alerts, so we were certainly heartened when [they were stopped.]" In reviewing the records obtained by IndigiNews, Charlesworth says what stood out to her was that months before then-minister Katrine Conroy officially put a stop to birth alerts, there were discussions happening within MCFD about privacy breach concerns. "Even though the practice of birth alerts was discontinued, I want to know: what other stones do we need to turn over to make sure that things are made right?" says Charlesworth. "I want to understand more about what happened." "We've had a lot of discussions, both with the privacy commissioner and with the Ministry of Children and Family Development, about what our next steps are." She says her team is also reaching out to the Ministry of Health and the health authorities to ask what is written on a patient's file following a birth alert. This is important to understand because notes on a person's record can create "the condition for the possibility of ongoing bias or discrimination," as documented in a recent report on anti-Indigenous racism and discrimination in B.C.'s health care system, Charlesworth says. "Given what we now understand, that would be a breach of privacy, and it would need to be addressed and removed." Birth alerts involve the sharing of a parent's personal information between social workers and health care workers without the parent's consent. As previously reported, this constitutes a breach of privacy, according to Michael McEvoy, B.C.'s Information and Privacy Commissioner. "Our office has looked at this issue, and it is our view that the practice of 'birth alerts' is not authorized by FIPPA [B.C.'s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act]," a spokesperson for the commissioner told IndigiNews via email. "I certainly think that, at a minimum, a public apology is in order," says Charlesworth. IndigiNews asked MCFD Minister Mitzi Dean whether she plans to issue an apology to parents and families impacted by these alerts. "Any discussions around a formal apology need to be held first with Indigenous communities and developed in collaboration with those communities," said a ministry spokesperson via email. "The Ministry is engaging with Indigenous leadership on these issues," they added. As to the question of reparations for families, Charlesworth says that's outside of her mandate. But she believes each family's situation should be considered on a case-by-case basis. Some families may not know that social workers shared their personal information with hospital workers in the form of a birth alert. In an email to IndigiNews, MCFD said it hasn't let parents know that it breached their privacy by issuing a birth alert about them because it "didn't want to retraumatize affected families by providing notifications of past birth alerts." "I think that's a relatively weak response," says Karin Kirkpatrick, Liberal MLA for West Vancouver-Capilano, and the official opposition critic for children, family development and childcare in B.C. "I think we have privacy legislation that would dictate otherwise," she says. "As with a privacy breach of any other kind, people deserve to be informed of it in a timely manner." Kirkpatrick says she supports the RCY's call for a public apology. So does Sonia Furstenau, leader of B.C.'s Green Party and MLA for Cowichan Valley. "That is a starting point, not an ending point," Furstenau says. "And then there is an enormous amount of work and change that should flow from that apology." "I just cannot think of something more traumatizing for a mother and a baby then to be separated — unwillingly separated — within hours or days or weeks of birth," she says. And we have to "recognize the ways in which this is a systemically racist system," Furstenau adds. "The contrast between a white woman of privilege going into hospital with zero expectation that there's any chance that I'm not leaving with my baby after I give birth … Indigenous women do not have that privilege." As for MCFD's stated reluctance to notify families who were subjected to birth alerts for fear they may be retraumatized, Furstenau says, "the damage has been done." MCFD needs to "reconnect with these families, assess what the extent of the trauma was because of that action and then work to repair it," she says. "That's the work that they need to do." The RCY has committed to doing a review, which could result in a public report or policy recommendations for the government. As an oversight body, Charlesworth says her office has a mandate to investigate any trend, practice or policy that may be harmful to or not supportive of children, youth and families. She says their review will likely take a few months, depending on the volume of information and how easy it is to access. "It's going to be quite tricky to determine how many birth alerts were issued and for whom," she says. "It's not a field that's collected." The RCY will need to track down that information "in a number of different ways," she adds. Charlesworth says she appreciates the opportunity to review MCFD's records and the process that preceded the ministry's decision to ban birth alerts. And she says B.C.'s privacy commissioner has offered to provide advice and counsel as they review what happened. "Anything that calls the system to take a closer look at itself and its practices and where it might have caused harm is a good thing," she says. At the same time, she adds it's important not to lose sight of the bigger picture — the drivers pushing people into the child welfare system such as "poverty, domestic violence, mental health … [and] substance use concerns within the family [and] multiple moves." "This is generations old. All the crap that we're seeing down in the States? That's absolutely indicative of white supremacy and the kind of big power dynamics that have resulted in the kinds of things that we're seeing. So, yes, kids are at risk. And, yes, kids are unsafe. And we have to intervene. But we also simultaneously have to be saying, so what's given rise to these vulnerabilities in the first place?" she says. "We have to take at poverty, we have to take a look at housing, we have to look at social attitudes … I don't want to just keep nibbling at the edges of our system. Okay, well, we don't have birth alerts — are we done? No, we're not done. We're not done at all." Brielle Morgan, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter, The Discourse

Jonathan Osorio upbeat about what lies ahead for Canadian men's soccer team
Much has changed since Toronto FC midfielder Jonathan Osorio first attended a Canadian national team camp in March 2013. All for the good. The 28-year-old Osorio, who has won 34 caps for Canada, painted a rosy picture Wednesday of the squad currently training in Bradenton, Fla. While key players such as Alphonso Davies (Bayern Munich), Jonathan David (Lille), Milan Borjan (Red Star Belgrade), Scott Arfield (Rangers), Junior Hoilett (Cardiff City) and Cyle Larin and Atiba Hutchinson (both Besiktas) are not there given the January camp does not fall in a FIFA international window, Osorio likes what he sees in the young talent around him. This camp is worlds apart from Osorio's first. "Much different. Much more competitive," Osorio told reporters. "A lot of players playing at good clubs, playing at a high level and playing at their clubs regularly." In the past, the talent pool wasn't as deep and Canadians were often buried on the depth chart at their clubs. Osorio welcomes the step up. "I love it. I wish it was like this eight years ago," he said. "But I'm happy with the way it is now. I'm very excited, The development has come a long way in this country. And it shows every time. Every January camp, it gets better. " Coach John Herdman says he has some 88 players in his extended talent pool with a top tier of some 45. He will dig into that squad in a busy 2021 with World Cup and Olympic qualifying set to begin in March and the Gold Cup scheduled for July. First-time call-ups at the Florida camp, the first for Canada since last January, are Tajon Buchanan (New England), Cristian Gutierrez (Vancouver), Belal Halbouni (SV Werder Bremen II, Germany), Alistair Johnston (Nashville SC), Jahkeele Marshall-Rutty and Ralph Priso (Toronto FC), Dayne St. Clair (Minnesota United), Frank Sturing (Den Bosch, the Netherlands) and Joel Waterman (CF Montreal). More than half the players in the squad were born 1997 or later, which also makes them eligible for Canada's Olympic team. "Very very exciting players," said Osorio. "Players that belong on the pitch with the veteran players and all the better players … These young players are making a case to be a part of the full men's team as well." Now Canada has to deliver on that talent, says Osorio. The Canadian men have only qualified for one World Cup, in 1986 in Mexico, and have not taken part in the Olympics since 1984. Its lone Gold Cup triumph came in 2000. "We're still trying to make an imprint on world football, in CONCACAF and in the world," said Osorio. "We're still developing as a team. We have now the talent there. So, of course, we can't waste it. We know this. We're well aware of this. But we're more excited about it than anything." "These things are possible now. These things are not out of reach," he added. It will take the Canadian men 20 qualifying matches to get to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. "It's a long road but there's no better day than today to start working towards that," said Osorio. With three MLS teams and the Canadian Premier League, Canada now offers a place for talent to develop at home, he believes. In contrast, a teenage Osorio left friends and family to pursue his soccer dream in Uruguay, along with friend and Canadian teammate Lucas Cavallini (now with the Vancouver Whitecaps). While they spoke the language — Osorio's parents were born in Colombia while Cavallini's father is originally from Argentina — it wasn't easy. They lived in dormitory-style accommodations with Uruguayan juniors who initially saw them as foreign intruders looking to take their jobs. "Canada is a young country when it comes to world football," said Osorio. "We're a little bit behind the other countries as far as experience and things like that. But we are gaining knowledge every day, sending coaches to do licences overseas and things like that. "So things are being done the right way now, the way they are done around the world. And that's what's helping this country grow … As long as we stay on this path, the sky's the limit for Canada soccer, because there is a lot of talent in this country." The Canadians are set to play the U.S. in a scrimmage Saturday. --- Follow @NeilMDavidson on Twitter This report by The Canadian Press was first published Jan. 20, 2021 Neil Davidson, The Canadian Press

Even the Bears Are Getting Optimistic About Netflix's Earnings

Netflix shares surged further into record territory on Thursday, as analysts adjust models and target prices ahead of the company's first-quarter earnings report, due after the market's close next Tuesday.
Netflix's first-quarter guidance was for $5.7 billion in revenue, profits of $1.66 a share, and 7 million net new subscribers. The Street consensus calls for $5.74 billion and $1.64 a share. But the focus is going to be on new subscribers during the quarter—and expectations for the second quarter.
Netflix (ticker: NFLX) has almost certainly gained viewers—and streaming hours—in recent weeks, as billions of people hunker down at home. Following a huge jump in streaming subscribers for Walt Disney (DIS) and a 49% spike in first-quarter streaming hours at Roku (ROKU), expectations are mounting for Netflix's latest results.
Netflix shares are up 37% year to date and almost 20% since last week. The streaming pioneer now has a market value inching close to $200 billion, surpassing both Disney and Comcast (CMCSA) to become the most highly valued U.S. entertainment company.
Netflix rose another 3.8% Thursday to $442.46; barring a reversal, the stock is headed for another record close.
On Thursday morning, Morgan Stanley analyst Benjamin Swinburne reiterated an Overweight rating on the stock, lifting his price target to $440, from $400. He writes that few companies are benefiting more from the shelter-in-place phenomenon than Netflix.
Swinburne now sees the company adding 14 million net adds over the first two quarters of the year, up from 11.7 million previously. "The 2020 global advertising recession likely cements Netflix's leadership position and increases the returns it can generate," he wrote. "Netflix competes for consumers' time, and its primary competition for that time—incumbent broadcasters around the world—face 10%-20% advertising revenue declines and will likely need to reduce content investment."
Swinburne added, "The bull market has ended, but it ends with Netflix's lead intact and perhaps insurmountable."
J.P. Morgan analyst Doug Anmuth also repeated his Overweight rating, while upping his target to $480 from $440. "Netflix is a clear beneficiary of stay-at-home, but more importantly we believe it is also accelerating the secular shift toward on-demand streaming, resulting in a bigger business over time," he writes. Anmuth upped his outlook for first-quarter net adds to 8.8 million, from 7.5 million.
Even bearish analysts are raising their Netflix target prices.
Evercore ISI analyst Vijay Jayant held on to his In Line rating, while increasing his target to $350, from $300. "Netflix is clearly emerging as the winner of an internet TV category with plenty of secular growth ahead, but we think there are enough questions about longer-term profitability of the internet TV business model which lead to our conclusion that the risk/reward profile for NFLX shares looks balanced at best at current levels," he wrote. But he now forecasts 9.5 million net adds in the quarter, well above guidance, and 29 million for the year.
Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter remains the most determined bear on the stock, repeating his Underperform rating, while upping his target to $194, from $173.
"We believe that Netflix's valuation is unwarranted," he wrote. "We expect the company to continue to increase its marketing and content spending over the next several years in order to maintain the pace of its subscriber growth ...Although we expect a temporary boost to free cash flow from Netflix's inability to produce content during the pandemic, we expect the company to bid up the price of available licensed content, and think that the lack of new content may cause churn to increase later in the year."

28.3.2014: Study trip Vienna
Publiziert am 28. März 2014 von Oliver Lehmann
The second day of study trips took the delegates of the EUSJA GA 2014 to hotspots of science and research in Vienna. First point of call was the Uni Campus Wien, the former general hospital which had been converted in the 1990s and transferred to the University of Vienna. The representative for science, research and universities of the city of Vienna, Prof. Alexander Van der Bellen, welcomed the delegates on behalf of the city and informed them about Vienna as university location: a total of 180.000 students represent 10% of the Vienna's population. After a tour of the compound the group received a presentation at the Institute of Contemporary History of the University of Vienna. Prof. Johnanna Gehmacht and her colleagues gave an overview of their research, especially on the history of science with a focus on Vienna in the 1920s and 1930s.
Next stop was the new Campus of Vienna University of Economics and Business (WU), opened 2013. The WU is Europe's largest university dedicated to business and economics, ranked as one of the best business schools in Europe. The new "Campus WU" is close to the public park Prater and features six main building complexes on 25 acres (10 ha) making it the largest campus for business sciences in Europe. The buildings were designed by architectural firms from Spain, the United Kingdom, Germany, Japan and Austria. The dominant element of the campus is the Library & Learning Center which was planned by Zaha Hadid. In this sepctacular building Rector Christoph Badelt welcomed the group and explained the development of the WU emphasizing the international networks.
The third centre of research on this day was the Atominstitut where Director Hartmut Abele welcomed the guests. Run by the Faculty of Physics at the Technical University Vienna it is dedicated to today's broad range of research and education ranging from very fundamental questions about symmetries and interactions in nuclear and particle physics to neutron-, atomic-, quantum-physics and quantum optics to radiation- and reactor physics to applied tasks such as environmental monitoring, radiation protection or for example the radiation resistance of modern materials. Highlight was a visit in the test reactor whrer the science journalists witnessed a nuclear fission.
Prof. Helmuth Veith gave an overview of the upcoming Vienna Summer of Logic in July 2014, with 2500 participants the "biggest gathering of logicians since Aristotle".
Final destination was the Campus Vienna Biocenter (CVBC), one of the most prominent life sciences hubs not only in Austria but also in the Central European Region. The founding nucleus was the Research Institute of Molecular Pathology (IMP) soon augmented by the University of Vienna with five departments. In 1998, the CVBC spin-off company Intercell (now Valneva) was founded. Subsequently, the Austrian Academy of Sciences founded two new research institutes, IMBA and GMI, situated next door to the IMP. The Campus has continued to rapidly develop and now includes more than 15 complementary players in the life sciences.
The evening reception at the Dino Hall of the Museum of Natural History, sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Science, Research and Economy, was the appropriate conclusion to the tightly scheduled two-day study trip. The museum is one of the largest, oldest, and most noteworthy natural history museums in the world. The current building was completed in 1889. Today it houses a collection of about 30 million specimens and artifacts. Its collections were founded in 1750 by Emperor Franz I Stephan of Lorraine, the husband of Maria Theresa. A few selected specimens could be examined after dinner during late night tour of the museum.

Endō Shūsaku. Translated by Van C. Gessel
Pub Date: August 2020
In novels such as Silence, Endō Shūsaku examined the persecution of Japanese Christians in different historical eras. Sachiko, set in Nagasaki in the painful years between 1930 and 1945, is the story of two young people trying to find love during yet another period in which Japanese Christians were accused of disloyalty to their country.
In the 1930s, two young Japanese Christians, Sachiko and Shūhei, are free to play with American children in their neighborhood. But life becomes increasingly difficult for them and other Christians after Japan launches wars of aggression. Meanwhile, a Polish Franciscan priest and former missionary in Nagasaki, Father Maximillian Kolbe, is arrested after returning to his homeland. Endō alternates scenes between Nagasaki—where the growing love between Sachiko and Shūhei is imperiled by mounting persecution—and Auschwitz, where the priest has been sent. Shūhei's dilemma deepens when he faces conscription into the Japanese military, conflicting with the Christian belief that killing is a sin. With the A-bomb attack on Nagasaki looming in the distance, Endō depicts ordinary people trying to live lives of faith in a wartime situation that renders daily life increasingly unbearable. Endō's compassion for his characters, reflecting their struggles to find and share love for others, makes Sachiko one of his most moving novels.
An important work of historical fiction that raises profound questions about the moral legitimation and human cost of war, transnational relationships, and the atomic bombing of Nagasaki.
Endō Shūsaku (1923–1996) was Japan's leading Christian writer, a prolific author of novels, stories, and plays. Among his translated works are The Samurai, Deep River, Wonderful Fool, and Foreign Studies. His best-known novel, Silence, was adapted into a film by Martin Scorsese in 2017.
Van C. Gessel is professor of Japanese at Brigham Young University. He has translated eight of Endō's works, including Kiku's Prayer (Columbia, 2012). In 2018 he received an imperial decoration, Order of the Rising Sun.
