I found out today from another site that families are beginning to receive their referral calls. The latest date that has been referred is November 7, 2005. These families waited approximately 19 months. Each month we get closer to our referral date, but the wait gets longer too. How does the wait get longer? For the wait to stabilize, the CCAA has to issue out A WHOLE MONTH of LID's. When the CCAA only issues a few days in a month, that increases the wait. When will we get our referral? If the batches continue to be 6,7, 8 days, then I am thinking that we will get our referral in April (2008) and travel in June, just in time for the 2008 Summer Olympics! Where have the puppies gone? Look what Jeremy can do! How much is a mom worth?

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colorado (WPVI) -- A Colorado sports apparel store owner is closing up shop months after he vowed to ban Nike items because of the brand's support of Colin Kaepernick. As KOAA reported on Monday, Stephen Martin, owner of Prime Time Sports, said it became difficult to continue business with Nike making apparel for a lot of pro and college sports teams. The brand has exclusive contracts with the NFL and NBA, for example. "Being a sports store without Nike is kind of like being a milk store without milk or a gas station without gas. How do you do it? They have a monopoly on jerseys," said Martin. Last year, Martin decided to boycott the recognized brand after the company's ad campaign with the out-of-work football player. Before that, he cancelled an autograph session at this store with Brandon Marshall because, like Kaepernick, he knelt during the national anthem. "As much as I hate to admit this, perhaps there are more Brandon Marshall and Colin Kaepernick supporters out there than I realized," Martin told KOAA. Martin also cited online shopping competition for a declining sales in recent years. Despite the closure and laying off his staff, Martin said he's leaving with dignity. "I didn't give in to big Nike and big dollars. I didn't give in. I did it my way," Martin said. "That part of the military respect that's in me just cannot be sacrificed or compromised, as I believe Brandon Marshall and Colin Kaepernick both did. I don't like losing a business over it, but I rather be able to live with myself," he told the TV station.

Nazareth / Periods: Roman, Byzantine, Arabic. Situated in the north of Israel, in the city of Nazareth, not far from the Church of the Annunciation and the Basilica of the Annunciation, it is located the Maronite Church of the Annunciation. This place of pilgrimage was filmed for you by 360HolyPlaces™ in 360°. The Maronite church of the Annunciation is the name given to a Maronite Catholic church in Nazareth. It is dedicated to the Annunciation and should not be confused with the Roman Catholic Church and the Coptic Church in the same city that it's practically named with the same name. The Maronite Catholic community in Nazareth existed since 1620. In 1774, the church dedicated to Saint Anthony, which for many years was insufficient, was built. Today in Nazareth, there are about 1000 Maronites. A new church dedicated to the Annunciation was built at the beginning of the 21st century. The new church is a modern building that was built according to the latest architectural styles. The main dome is surmounted by a round dome. We also see a statue of Mary of Nazareth. The interior is decorated with numerous sculptures and paintings by Italian painters Tese and Lamagna.

Boxers prepare for upcoming season Bobby Ulrich Consistency is key for both the men's and women's golf teams as they begin to finish the back half of their spring season. With four more matches left, two of which are major tournaments, the golf teams have a good opportunity to finish out the season with success. Head Coach Richard Warren mentioned that, "Expectations for the teams are that we need improve upon what we did in the fall season, and show more consistent progress. For both teams to have success this season, we especially need our three, four and five players to step up and be more consistent with their play." At the Pacific Lutheran University Invitational this past weekend, senior Luke Olson placed 14th and sophomore Briana Finau placed 3rd, setting the bar the for the rest of the team for the weeks to come. Warren has identified these two players as standouts, who can be the examples of consistency and finishing matches strong. "Everyone including myself has the capability to compete at the highest level in conference," Olson said. "It's a matter of preparing yourself for tournament play, the more tournaments we compete in, the more experience we get and that can go a long way." Olson's experience and approach to each tournament is extremely beneficial for the team's youth and inexperience. With over half of the men's team being underclassmen, the entire team will need to make major strides each week in order to come out on top in the Northwest Conference (NWC). "I think for this second half of the season we will need to work on becoming more consistent as well as adjusting to the difference in weather conditions." Finau said. Just like Coach Warren and Olson mentioned, Finau is adamant about the team's ability to stay consistent at each tournament. The Boxers will head to the Willamette Valley Cup next weekend, a week before the NWC spring classic on April 7 and 8. Both teams will need to fix their mistakes and capitalize on their strengths in the remaining three tournaments, leading up to the NWC Championships in late April.

I guess Famous People & Celebrities / Tamera Mowry Surprised at Reactions to Her Interracial Relationship « Last post by George on October 06, 2011, 09:34:23 PM » Quoting from the article... *While some are happy for actress Tamera Mowry-Housley's union with her white husband, others have aggressively offered their views about interracial relationships. The criticism came after photos of her engagement were posted on the web. "I was just shocked that some people still feel that way. It's 2011! They did a poll recently and 83 percent of Americans are OK with interracial relationships," she shared to YBF. "I never expected that kind of negative response to us. That's why I was OK with our photographer putting those pics on his website." And about her husband, she said he handled it well. "He said, 'That's not our issue. That's their issue. So they can deal with that.' From now on, I'm just focusing on the people who love us and support us." But that wasn't the only tough thing she had to handle. Before getting married, her then boyfriend was adamant about remaining celibate throughout their courtship. "I'll be very very honest. (Laughs embarrassingly) We decided, it was both of our decision, not to live together for religious reasons. I'm being very honest. We actually didn't wait until we got married to be intimate … but we did wait three years. (The two have been together for six years). I wanted to do what felt right for me … It's something that just felt right for me. It was just a personal choice. And even after being intimate, we decided as a couple to be celibate until the wedding."

Yikes! Pres. Obama has put this country farther into debt and all of the Presidents in our history combined! That's an unbelievable disgrace! Think of it like this... In 2 years and 9 months, Pres. Obama and his Democrats in Congress have put this country farther in debt than every President combined together over the last 232 years of this country's existence! The United States was formed in 1776 and in the 235 years since then, Pres. Obama has "led" us taxpayers into the deepest debt hole in history. Here's another way to look at it... Pres. Obama has "led" this country for only 1.17% of our 235 years of history and he has spent more money than the remaining 98.83% of our history! That's astounding! I never knew that until today and you won't hear the liberal news media mention it at all. Hannity: Obama Punishes Rich With His Debt President Barack Obama has accumulated more debt than all of the other U.S. presidents combined and is going to punish the rich to make up for it, Sean Hannity contends. The president backs the Occupy Wall Street protesters, Hannity said on his radio show today, adding that the demonstrators must not understand that 1 percent of American taxpayers contribute 40 percent of the taxes, and 50 percent pay nothing. "I'm not against paying taxes," he said. "Can we limit the percentage? Can I keep 75 cents of every dollar? Why does it have to be 50 percent?" Hannity, broadcasting from Atlanta to celebrate Fox's 15th anniversary, as well as the 15th anniversary of his own TV show on Fox, also questioned the protesters' motives for attacking the wealthy. "The anointed one is now defending the Wall Street protestors, the ones who hate the 1 percent, like Steve Jobs, who passed away," he said. "He made the world a better place. He created something that has impacted the entire world."

He also told George Stephanopoulos that Republicans have been following an "extreme approach to governance," and says that despite recent successes, America will always be vulnerable to another terrorist attack. The president sat down with Stephanopoulos for the interview that streamed live on ABC News and Yahoo! News. Stephanopoulos referred to a new ABC News/Washington Post poll disclosing that 55 percent of Americans now believe Obama will be a one-term president. Asked by Stephanopoulos if he believes he is now the underdog, Obama responded: "Absolutely. But I don't mind. I'm used to being an underdog. "But at the end of the day what people are going to say is, who's got a vision for the future that can actually help ordinary families recapture that American dream?" Stephanopoulos noted that New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said last week that Obama doesn't have the courage to lead and called him a "bystander" in the Oval Office and a "divider." Obama responded: "If the guy's thinking of running for president, he's going to say a lot of stuff. And I think in Republican primaries it's probably going to poll pretty well. "I don't think the American people would dispute that at every step of the way I have done everything I can to try to get the Republican Party to work with me on the biggest crisis of our lifetime, and each time all we've gotten from them is no. "They've made a decision to follow what is a pretty extreme approach to governance." Matt Towery, a syndicated columnist and CEO of the nonpartisan polling firm Insider/Advantage, told Newsmax that claiming to be the underdog is "probably pretty smart on Obama's part. He is the underdog. I think he has to understand his fate lies in two different rolls of the dice. "First, the issue of the economy. If the economy doesn't improve, his chances of re-election are very slim. "Two, if the Republicans nominate an electable candidate. He's banking on the possibility that they won't choose someone with broad appeal to American voters. But the economy would still have to improve for him win in any case. "Obama wants to be the underdog. He has no choice. I find his statement the smartest political thing he's said in months. It's a smart strategy.

Obama's Hope and Change / Dick Armey: Obama's 'Lost' Policies Could Foment Civil Unrest! Here are some key quotes from the article below. Read the whole story and see the video at the link below. FreedomWorks Chairman Dick Armey warns that President Barack Obama's policies are so misguided that they could trigger civil unrest if continued for a second term. In an exclusive Newsmax.TV interview to discuss FreedomWorks' new super PAC, Armey cited high unemployment, the sharp spike in the number of Americans living in poverty, and dysfunctional tax policies as legacies of an administration he described as "hopelessly lost." Asked whether he is concerned the president's stewardship over the nation could foment the sort of civil unrest seen elsewhere in the world, the former House majority leader replied: "I think it could. First of all, we have to accept President Obama is just a hopelessly lost, romantic egalitarian. "If you read his own books . . . his whole accounting of how he went to Harvard and looked up all the Marxist professors. I guarantee you, if you got all your knowledge from Marxist professors, you got everything wrong." Armey's broadside reflects a political milieu that has grown increasingly toxic since Obama alleged on Monday that House Speaker John Boehner harbors a "my-way-or-the-highway" attitude on taxes. "This is not class warfare," Obama said of his proposal to increase taxes on wealthier Americans despite the economic downturn. "It's math." Armey said he has never seen a U.S. leader "so wholly misguided about the nature and character of the way the world works and the history of America in the history of the world, as this president: He just doesn't know who we are." The rise of its "Kosher Tea" organization, which contributed to Republican Bob Turner's remarkable victory in New York Congressional District 9, is persuading Jewish voters to reconsider their traditional allegiance to the Democratic Party. "The Jewish community was given sort of a shock into an awakening by President Obama," Armey said, "in what they felt was a betrayal by him. This gives us a chance to have them re-engage in a whole spectrum of political issues." Armey said the first thing he'd like to see the next president do is to propose a flat tax. "Washington's full of slow learners," he said. "They need more tax revenue, [but] you don't get that from higher taxes. Simplify the [tax] base, make it a truly fair tax, where everybody is treated the same as everybody else, and that unleashes" investment. In my humble opinion, a simple flat tax to fund the Federal Government is exactly what we need. It would simplify the IRS tax code from thousands of pages in books to a flippin' pamphlet that everyone could understand. It would eliminate the need for tax lawyers, accountants and all of the IRS people and that would save everyone money as well. It would treat everyone the same and make it impossible for rich people and corporations to wiggle out of paying taxes by exploiting loopholes.

Funny Stuff! / New Baby « Last post by George on September 30, 2011, 07:53:56 PM » Married couple went to the hospital to have their baby delivered. Upon their arrival, the doctor said he had invented a new machine that would transfer a portion of the mother's labor pain to the baby's father. He asked if they were willing to try it out. They were both very much in favor of it. The doctor set the pain transfer to 10% for starters, explaining that even 10% was probably more pain than the father had ever experienced before. However, as the labor progressed, the husband felt fine and asked the doctor to go ahead and kick it up a notch. The doctor then adjusted the machine to 20% pain transfer. The husband was still feeling fine. The doctor checked the husband's blood pressure and was amazed at how well he was doing. At this point, they decided to try for 50%. The husband continued to feel quite well. Since the pain transfer was obviously helping out the wife considerably, the husband encouraged the doctor to transfer ALL the pain to him. The wife delivered a healthy baby with virtually no pain. She and her husband were ecstatic. When they got home, the mailman was dead on the porch!!!

Just like with Chivalrous knights, Bushi are held to their own standard of right behavior. To become a legend of the way of the warrior, it is not enough simply to be an honorable samurai, but to uphold the tenets of Bushido in word and action. The following six virtues have been selected to represent Bushido. A samurai who holds a total of 80 between these six values gains 100 Glory a year and the listed bonus. ​Bushido: Energetic, Just, Honest, Valorous, Modest, Vengeful. I'm somewhat (in)famous for producing game pitches that I will never run. Here are a few that I think might be able to see new life. Open to expansion, obviously. Recently, I've been working on two different Starfinder games, one I'll be running live on Discord and one here on The Tangled Web. As I've been prepping those games, I've been thinking about the differences in Dming those styles of tabletop playing. The following are just my thoughts on how those formats of playing differ and how they're similar. Now for armor and weapons: Weapons that are considered 'legitimate' for samurai to wield and that can be trained normally as Knightly weapons are will be labeled (Bushi). Axe (Bushi) : Axes split shields; add 1d6 against Shields. Breaks on a fumble. Wakizashi (Bushi): The smaller of the daishō, covers daggers and short swords, does -1d6 damage, more concealable. Dropped on a fumble. Must be at 10 or higher for Samurai.

4 December 2018 – Studies show that, if women were able to participate equally in the economy, global GDP could increase by 26 per cent – the equivalent of $12 trillion dollars – by 2025. But unfortunately only 50 per cent of women of working age, worldwide, are in the labour force – compared to 77 per cent of men. Findings of a recent gender assessment study announced today at Park Inn, Baku reveal major similarities with these global trends in Azerbaijan. Drawing upon the role of the private sector in advancing gender equality and women's economic potential, the study specifically examines challenges and opportunities facing women in the private sector. In Azerbaijan, the last 5 years have seen a remarkable spike of economic activities among women, nationwide, as the number of women entrepreneurs doubled in 2012-2017, reaching 143,000. Yet women still constitute a small portion of the national business community. Despite significant improvements in the legislative framework, healthcare and education systems over the last decades, progress towards gender equality in Azerbaijan faces a number of challenges. According to world statistics, women tend to be largely concentrated in informal and precarious employment, but they are paid on average 23 per cent less than men while carrying out at least 2.5 times more unpaid household and care work. Similarly, many of these challenges, specifically a sectoral and occupational gender segregation, the disproportionate distribution of unpaid domestic work and gender-based discrimination in the workplace exist in Azerbaijan. The goal of the Gender Assessment study is to examine the factors influencing women's participation in the private sector economy and to support the efforts of the national government, private sector actors and civil society organisations (CSOs) working to promote women's economic empowerment and economic participation including formal employment. Its objectives are to identify and analyse gender-specific barriers that hinder women in pursuing business opportunities, securing decent jobs and building successful careers in the private sector. The study also examines gender-specific factors affecting the involvement of men in the private sector economy and explores factors, which facilitate the successful engagement of both women and men in private sector operations. The Gender Assessment report was made possible due to support and expertise of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP), the State Committee for Family, Women and Children's Affairs (SCFWCA), United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), Women's Association for Rational Development (WARD) and the Embassy of Switzerland. The research mission received substantial financial assistance from Switzerland through the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), from UNDP and UNFPA. The information partner of the findings launch event today was the American Chamber of Commerce (AmCham) in Azerbaijan. Full report on the study findings is available under library resources of the UNDP Azerbaijan website. The launch of the findings report that brought together over 150 representatives of the international community, the government of Azerbaijan, the private sector, civil society organisations and media has coincided with the inception of yet another project in support of women from low-income and socially excluded communities, which also derived from recommendations of the Gender Assessment study.

Representatives James joined the meeting after the recess. SB 6 - MOBILE HOME PARK EVICTION NOTICE CHAIR ROKEBERG announced that the first order of business would be CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 6(FIN), "An Act relating to required notice of eviction to mobile home park dwellers and tenants before redevelopment of the park." [Before the committee was the proposed House committee substitute (HCS) for SB 6, version 22-LS0216\W, Kurtz, 2/11/02, adopted as a work draft on 2/13/02.] CHAIR ROKEBERG noted that at the 5/1/02 hearing of SB 6, the motion to adopt the new proposed HCS for SB 6, version 22- LS0216\U, Kurtz, 4/26/02, as a work draft was left pending. CHAIR ROKEBERG restated the motion to adopt Version U as a work draft. CHAIR ROKEBERG explained that Version U provides for notice of 180 days, whereas Version W provides for notice of 270 days. He opined that because SB 6 stipulates that a quit date cannot be given earlier than May 1 or later than October 15, notice of 180 days would be sufficient. REPRESENTATIVE MEYER pointed out that 270 days was the compromise worked out between parties who felt that 365 days was too long and parties who felt that 180 days was not sufficient. CHAIR ROKEBERG withdrew the motion to adopt Version U as a work draft. Therefore, Version W remained before the committee. REPRESENTATIVE BERKOWITZ moved to report HCS for SB 6, version 22-LS0216\W, Kurtz, 2/11/02, out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying zero fiscal note. There being no objection, HCS CSSB 6(JUD) was reported from the House Judiciary Standing Committee. CHAIR ROKEBERG called an at-ease from 1:20 p.m. to 1:22 p.m. SB 295 - LICENSING:DISCLOSURE OF MINORS' RECORDS CHAIR ROKEBERG announced that the next order of business would be SENATE BILL NO. 295, "An Act relating to the disclosure of information regarding delinquent minors to certain licensing agencies; and providing for an effective date." GWENDOLYN HALL, Staff to Senator Pete Kelly, Alaska State Legislature, said on behalf of Senator Kelly, sponsor, that SB 295 was introduced to help ensure that individuals in child care facilities and adult care facilities receive quality care. She elaborated: Currently, both state and federal laws require all child and adult care licensing authorities to review criminal histories of every individual age 16 and older who is either seeking a care license, employment with a care provider, or residing in the home of a care provider seeking licensure. However, ... for those age 16 and younger, that information is inaccessible. MS. HALL said that SB 295 will allow licensing agencies to obtain, from the [Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ)], information on people age 16 and younger who are living in the home of care providers seeking licensure; for example, an individual who is seeking licensure for an in-home daycare facility may have a 13-year old child who is a convicted child molester. Currently, licensing agencies do not have access to that information, but passage of SB 295 would allow licensing agencies in Alaska, as well as those from other jurisdictions, access to that information. ROBERT BUTTCANE, Legislative & Administrative Liaison, Division of Juvenile Justice (DJJ), Department of Health & Social Services (DHSS), said that the DJJ and the DHSS support SB 295, and noted that Senator Kelly is actually sponsoring this legislation on their behalf. He said that SB 295 plugs a hole in a statute that currently does not give the DJJ explicit authority in all cases to provide this information to licensing agencies; the language in this bill would take care of that problem to the betterment of those who provide care services to seniors and children. MR. BUTTCANE, in response to a question regarding what kind of information would be disclosed, pointed out that SB 295 says "appropriate information". He surmised that the DHSS would develop regulations and policies that would provide guidance as to what "appropriate information" would actually entail. He said, "In general, what we would want to do is to make sure that the licensing agency had the information that they needed to make appropriate licensing decisions." While in general that would be delinquency adjudication information, in other case- specific situations, they may also simply need the referral REPRESENTATIVE COGHILL, noting that he is concerned about whether just conviction information would be released or whether "charging" information would also be released, asked what the regulations delineating "appropriate information" might look MR. BUTTCANE said: Without knowing what the end product of something that we haven't started work on will look like, in a delinquency system, the conventional terms of "charges" [and] "convictions" ... don't really apply; they're not consistent with delinquency language, which relates to referrals or adjudications [and] adjusted offenses versus adjudicated offenses. That's why the bill was crafted in the way that it was, where it's "appropriate information". So as we work with licensing agencies to make sure that they get what it is that they need, ... we still preserve some level of protection to juveniles who have had offenses that were adjusted appropriately, so that they don't forever bear the consequences of adolescent decisions. It's a fine line to walk, but I think that the statute that we propose here would do that. Certainly, any type of referral for a sexual offense is probably one of those, even though it might be adjusted through a series of diversion activities, [that] would probably be appropriate for a licensing agency to know. A shoplift of a candy bar probably is unnecessary if that has been adjusted. That's why this language "appropriate" give us some latitude to help craft exactly what it is that a licensing agency needs in order to make an appropriate decision. REPRESENTATIVE COGHILL asked whether there has "been discussion of any protocol for a system." That issue has not come up in [the] committee hearings that we have had [for] this bill; ... those questions were really not discussed as part of the committee. But as we have worked with the Department of Education [and Early Development], for instance, who is responsible for child care licensing, we did address some of those issues, and they have a need to know whether or not the kid has had any violent offenses, physical assault offenses, [or] certainly sexual offenses. And those are probably the type of offenses that will be listed [for] the information [to be] provided to a licensing agency. Certainly felonies, even though they may be felony property offenses. While, again, we haven't specifically figured out how we're going to define this, in all probability, anything that has been adjudicated delinquent, of any nature, will probably be made available to the licensing agencies. And then those offenses that relate to personal injury or suggest the possibility of a physical assault or some kind of physical interaction would probably also be on that list even though those offenses might be adjusted, that is "not convicted," but handled through an informal community diversion process. A fight at the school is an assault in the fourth degree - a [class] A misdemeanor; we might adjust that out with an anger management class, an apology letter, some community work service, but that is the type of offense that might be appropriate for a licensing agency to know. MR. BUTTCANE added: Again, certainly any of the sexual offenses. A sexual abuse of a minor in the fourth degree is [a class] A misdemeanor, and while most of those are actually petitioned into court, some of those are not; they don't rise to the level, given all of the case circumstances, to warrant formal action in court. The matter can be resolved through a diversion process involving some counseling [and] separation of the offender from the victim. And assessments don't always show that the offender in those cases is predatory, so we don't necessarily have to commit the resources of the state to do a formal adjudication. But, because of the nature of the offense, it's probably one of those offenses, for instance, [that] the Department of Education [and Early Development] should know about so that they do not license a daycare center or a daycare program in somebody's home when an adolescent resides in the home who has a history of inappropriate sexual behavior. REPRESENTATIVE COGHILL recalled that in his youth, many times after basketball games, they had to "settle the score outside the gym." He mentioned that sometimes accusations can create damaging records. He added, "I don't want to just be mounting a history against children who are going through a normal course of life." You are absolutely correct in that, and that is part of what we do in the juvenile justice system, which gives it one of the different characters from the adult criminal system. There is an element of subjective assessment as to whether or not the juvenile needs to be processed through the formal court system where a formal delinquency record is documented, or whether we can work with that young offender and their family and resolve the matter without creating a formal public record or an official record that basically follows them into adulthood. It's as much art as it is science. In the scenario that you used, ... that is the type of assault that probably would not be transmitted to a licensing agency, because, absent any other indicator, it would not suggest that that person poses a risk to other people - it was a situational response. If there's a lot of history of acting out, a lot of other assault referrals, [and] a lot of criminal referrals, then we're dealing with a situation that probably they do need to know about in some cases. So that's the subjective work that we do in the juvenile justice system; it's hard to delineate those specifically in statute as to where ... you draw the line. MR. BUTTCANE concluded: At some point you have to look the kid in the eye, listen to what the parent has to say, and then make your best judgment. While we don't do that [and] get it a 100 percent right, ... I believe that our staff is pretty well practiced at making those distinctions between young offenders who are truly criminal and those who are stupid and need some help growing up. REPRESENTATIVE COGHILL noted that he would like to see some degree of distinction between egregious behavior and behavior that children just "get into." CHAIR ROKEBERG closed the public hearing on SB 295. REPRESENTATIVE MEYER moved to report SB 295 out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying zero fiscal note. There being no objection, SB 295 was reported from the House Judiciary Standing Committee. SB 100 - PERSONAL MOTOR VEHICLES/ REGISTRATION be CS FOR SPONSOR SUBSTITUTE FOR SENATE BILL NO. 100(RLS)(title am), "An Act relating to regulation and operation of personal motor vehicles." KELLY HUBER, Staff to Senator Rick Halford, Alaska State Legislature, said on behalf of Senator Halford, sponsor, that in the fall of 2001, a new, quiet, clean fuel mode of transportation was unveiled. It is called an electric personal assistive mobility device, which is a self-balancing two non- tandem wheeled device, which transports a single person with no emissions. It has a maximum speed of 15 miles per hour or less, and is operated by a gyroscope. The footprint is about shoulder width, and by leaning forward or backward, the operator controls the direction the device travels in. She said that the intent of SB 100 is to "create the regulations in which these would be allowed." Language in SB 100 stipulates that these devices may not be prohibited from use on sidewalks, bike paths, or vehicular ways. She noted, however, that an amendment adopted in the Senate allows municipalities to adopt ordinances regulating the use of these devices. MS. HUBER posited that these devices, similar to electric wheelchairs, may provide increased and welcomed independence for both the elderly and the disabled, and additionally may have other uses. To date, 17 states have signed similar legislation into law, and legislation in four other states is awaiting gubernatorial signature. She pointed out that SB 100 does not have any fiscal impact. In response to a question, she said she has heard that these devices are being called "the IT" and "Ginger". DENNIS POSHARD, Legislative Liaison/Special Assistant, Office of the Commissioner, Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (DOT&PF), said simply that the DOT&PF has no objections to SB 100. REPRESENTATIVE BERKOWITZ moved to report CSSSSB 100(RLS)(title am) out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying zero fiscal note. There being no objection, CSSSSB 100(RLS)(title am) was reported from the House Judiciary Standing Committee. SB 339 - INCREASE CRIMINAL FINES be SENATE BILL NO. 339, "An Act increasing fines for certain criminal offenses." REPRESENTATIVE BERKOWITZ asked how often judges impose the maximum fines under the current scheme. MARILYN WILSON, Staff to Senator Dave Donley, Senate Finance Committee, Alaska State Legislature, said on behalf of the Senate Finance Committee, sponsor, that she does not currently have that information. with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal REPRESENTATIVE BERKOWITZ objected for the purpose of remarking that it would be helpful, when the bill is heard in the House Finance Committee, for that committee to be provided with the information regarding how often, under the current scheme of fines, the maximum fine has been imposed. He then withdrew his objection. CHAIR ROKEBERG noted that there were no further objections to the motion to report the bill from committee. Therefore, SB 339 was reported from the House Judiciary Standing Committee. SB 238 - PUBLIC RECORDS: STATE SECURITY & SAFETY be CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 238(RLS), "An Act exempting from the category of public records certain records and information relating to state safety plans, programs, and procedures, and to systems, facilities, and infrastructure in the state; and CAROL CARROLL, Director, Central Office, Administrative Services Division, Department of Military & Veterans' Affairs (DMVA), said that SB 238 is the result of the Disaster Policy Cabinet (DPC) having reviewed the statutes in an effort to improve Alaska's security. This analysis took place after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 ("9/11"). Senate Bill 238 amends the public records statute, which, she noted, is currently very broad in that the public has access to almost everything. She suggested that the public should continue to have broad access to public documents with very few exceptions, one of which would include, under certain circumstances, the type of information listed in SB 238. She mentioned that decisions to withhold specific information can be appealed. MICHAEL G. MITCHELL, Assistant Attorney General, Governmental Affairs Section, Civil Division (Anchorage), Department of Law (DOL), in response to questions, echoed that there is an appeal process by which an individual or group could challenge the decision to keep certain information confidential. He remarked that in defending such a challenge, conceivably the state would use the standards set forth in proposed subparagraphs (A),(B), and (C), and describe - in general terms - the nature of the information being withheld. In response to further questions, he noted that the standards in the aforementioned subparagraphs are similar to existing standards, and that there are a "handful of cases" regarding public records, but none that pertain to the proposed standards. CHAIR ROKEBERG asked whether blueprints of public facilities are MS. CARROLL indicated that passage of SB 238 would protect such REPRESENTATIVE MEYER moved to report CSSB 238(RLS) out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. There being no objection, CSSB 238(RLS) was reported from the House Judiciary Standing Committee. SB 278 - TAKING PROPERTY BY EMINENT DOMAIN be CS FOR SENATE BILL NO. 278(FIN), "An Act requiring a good faith effort to purchase property before that property is taken through eminent domain; and providing for an effective date." REPRESENTATIVE MEYER moved to adopt the proposed House committee substitute (HCS) for SB 278, version 22-LS1399\S, Kurtz, 5/3/02, as a work draft. There being no objection, Version S was before the committee. HEATHER M. NOBREGA, Staff to Representative Norman Rokeberg, House Judiciary Standing Committee, Alaska State Legislature, explained that Version S contains three changes, two of which are located in Section 2, and the third in Section 4. The first change stipulates that the provisions SB 278 only apply to parcels valued at $15,000 or more. The second change removes language that the department must consider all alternative means of satisfying the public purpose, and stipulates instead that the department can offer to exchange the property for a parcel of comparable value. The third change involves rewriting Section 4 so that it now pertains to the ascertaining and awarding of just compensation - rather than to the process of possession - while still providing "a hammer" to encourage the department to comply with the provisions of Sections 1 and 2. She explained that this encouragement comes in the form of awarding the landowner an extra 10 percent of the value of the property should the department be found to have not acted in a "reasonable and diligent" manner, and offered that this change to Section 4 will ensure that projects won't be delayed. MS. NOBREGA suggested that for consistency's sake, a technical amendment should be made to page 3, line 11, to add a reference to subsection (c). REPRESENTATIVE BERKOWITZ made a motion to adopt Amendment 1, on page 3, line 11, after "AS 09.55.270(b)" insert "and (c)". There being no objection, Amendment 1 was adopted. MS. NOBREGA, in response to questions, reiterated that the new language in Section 4 should ensure that projects are not delayed, and explained that the master, when deciding the awards related to the value of the property, can also assess additional items that would be awarded to the landowner, such as attorney fees, costs, and the aforementioned 10-percent penalty. CHAIR ROKEBERG remarked that in a case involving land valued at $140,000, a 10-percent penalty would involve a substantial amount of money. JON TILLINGHAST, General Counsel, Sealaska Corporation, noted that although the 10-percent penalty for noncompliance is less severe than losing the property altogether, it is still "credible enough to be consistent with the intent" of SB 278. He also noted that under Version S, the state is assured of ultimately getting the property, and, thus, the bill should no longer have a fiscal impact because there won't be any additional attorney fees associated with the eminent domain proceedings. He thanked the committee for its work on SB 278, and said that Sealaska supports reporting the bill from TAPE 02-60, SIDE B Facilities (DOT&PF), thanked the committee for developing Version S, noting that it is an improvement over the previous version of SB 278 and alleviates the DOT&PF's concerns regarding Sections 2, 3,and 4. He referred to a handout provided to the committee and explained that it lists entities, aside from the DOT&PF, that will affected by the bill, and that it also contains the department's acquisition statistics. CHAIR ROKEBERG asked whether the $15,000 threshold is MR. POSHARD said he would research the issue before the bill gets to its next committee of referral to be sure that it is an appropriate threshold. He concurred with Mr. Tillinghast that Version S would engender a much different fiscal note, but noted that the 10-percent penalty might not be covered by federal funds; instead, any penalties awarded the landowner because of the state's noncompliance with Section 2 might have to come from the state's general fund. MR. POSHARD then suggested possible amendments to Version S. One amendment would involve changing page 2, line 2, so that "value" is replaced by "estimated". Another amendment would involve changing Section 4 - page 3, line 12 - so that the 10- percent penalty would be based on the final settlement amount, rather than on the value of the property. He also recommended that Section 2 should be altered so that subsection (c) becomes paragraph (3); if such a change is made, however, the change made via Amendment 1 would have to be altered appropriately [as would all other references to subsection (c)]. He indicated that this latter suggestion results from the fact that "we've had an issue over local concurrence." MICHAEL L. DOWNING, Director/Chief Engineer, Division of Statewide Design & Engineering Services, Department of Transportation & Public Facilities (DOT&PF), opined that changing subsection (c) into paragraph (3) would make the language cleaner and would help settle a debate that the DOT&PF has had with the Alaska Municipal League (AML). CHAIR ROKEBERG opined that the [the issue of local concurrence] is out of context for the discussion of SB 278. REPRESENTATIVE BERKOWITZ pointed out that if subsection (c) were changed into paragraph (3), then the references to subsection (b) in that new paragraph (3) would have to be altered to read "(b)(1) and (2)". CHAIR ROKEBERG asked for an example of difficulties that might arise by keeping subsection (c) as is. MR. DOWNING said: The issue there is whether the local planning approval ..., which is within the context of a chapter in statute ... titled "Consistency with Local Planning and Zoning Authority - and that's what we believe to be the test - and before and after that sentence, that's the context. But the debate we've been having is, will that sentence - "submit plans and specs for approval" - stand alone. And the municipalities believe that it does, and that approval can mean anything. We think it can only mean what it means within the context of the chapter that it's in. [We] feel pretty clear that we're right about that; nonetheless, we've had a very long debate about it. MR. DOWNING added, however, that Amendment 1, by itself, does satisfy most of the DOT&PF's concerns regarding this issue. REPRESENTATIVE COGHILL opined that as currently drafted, subsection (c) cannot be misconstrued. CHAIR ROKEBERG agreed. JAMES CANTOR, Assistant Attorney General, Transportation Section, Civil Division (Anchorage), Department of Law (DOL), testified via teleconference. He suggested changing the new language beginning on line 10 of Section 4 to read: "If, following the award in the proceedings, the court finds as a matter of law that the". He explained that this change would place the finding by the court within a timeframe; thus the finding would come during the later penalty phase of the proceedings rather than at the beginning of the proceedings. In response to a question, he explained that the master makes recommendations to the courts, and the courts then adopt those recommendations. MR. CANTOR noted that the condemnation cases that he is familiar with are in the $800,000 to $2 million range; in such cases, a 10-percent penalty would constitute a substantial amount of money, which, he surmised, would not be reimbursed by the Federal Highway Administration. He opined that there would be some increase in attorney fees simply because there would be a new issue to litigate. MR. TILLINGHAST posited that none of the suggested changes would cause a problem for Sealaska with the exception of changing subsection (c) into paragraph (3). He opined, however, with regard to the suggestion that the 10-percent penalty be based on the final settlement amount, that it would make more sense to say "10 percent of the final award for the property". He then referred to the fiscal note, and remarked that he has never seen a fiscal note that was based on the assumption that the state would commit a legal wrong, adding that generally such judgments against the state are paid for through a supplemental appropriation. CHAIR ROKEBERG opined that the fiscal note should be indeterminate. REPRESENTATIVE BERKOWITZ, referring to page 3, lines 11 and 12, raised the question of whether the language, "the court may award a sum equal to 10 percent" would strip the court of the flexibility to go up to 10 percent. MR. TILLINGHAST agreed, noting that if the court feels that it is "a 3-percent case," it ought to be able to award a 3-percent penalty, rather than having to award either a 10-percent penalty or nothing. He suggested that the language could be changed to say, "the court may award a sum of up to 10 percent". page 2, line 2, to delete "valued" and insert "estimated". CHAIR ROKEBERG made a motion to adopt Conceptual Amendment 3, on page 3, line 10, following "If" insert ", following the award in the proceedings," and after "the court finds" insert "as a matter of law". There being no objection, Conceptual Amendment 3 was adopted. page 3, line 12, delete "equal" and insert "up to", and deleting "value" and adding "final award", and delete "of the property". There being no objection, Conceptual Amendment 4 was adopted. REPRESENTATIVE BERKOWITZ moved to report the proposed HCS for SB 278, version 22-LS1399\S, Kurtz, 5/3/02, as amended, out of fiscal notes. There being no objection, HCS CSSB 278(JUD) was reported out of the House Judiciary Standing Committee. REPRESENTATIVE BERKOWITZ made a motion to adjourn the House A roll call vote was taken. Representatives Berkowitz voted to adjourn. Representatives Meyer, Coghill, and Rokeberg voted against adjourning. Therefore, the motion to adjourn the House Judiciary Standing Committee failed by a vote of 2-3. CHAIR ROKEBERG announced at 2:30 p.m. that the House Judiciary Standing Committee was recessed to a call of the chair. CHAIR ROKEBERG reconvened the House Judiciary Standing Committee at 5:10 p.m. Representatives Rokeberg, James, Coghill, and Meyer were present. SJR 37 - CONST AM: HIRING FREEZE be SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 37, Proposing an amendment to the Constitution of the State of Alaska relating to officers and employees of the executive branch. After noting that the committee has already had a public hearing on SJR 37, Chair Rokeberg closed the public hearing on SJR 37. REPRESENTATIVE COGHILL moved to report SJR 37 out of committee note. There being no objection, SJR 37 was reported from the SJR 38 - CONST AM: PRIORITY OF EXPENDITURES CHAIR ROKEBERG announced that the last order of business would be SENATE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 38, Proposing amendments to the Constitution of the State of Alaska relating to information regarding proposed expenditures. Chair Rokeberg noted that the committee has already had a public hearing on SJR 38, and that the public hearing has been closed. Legislature, testified on behalf of Senator Kelly, sponsor. She said that she did ask Senator Kelly if he had any objections to placing a period after "section" on page 1, line 15, and deleting "if the legislature requests the information by concurrent resolution". She relayed that the sponsor had no objections to such a change. CHAIR ROKEBERG noted such a change would force the governor to submit "information establishing a priority of proposed expenditures" regardless of whether the legislature feels that such information is needed; by leaving the language as is, however, the legislature would retain the flexibility to request that information if desired. REPRESENTATIVE JAMES said that she is not convinced that such information will be needed all the time. She mentioned that in requesting information by concurrent resolution, specific information could be requested to satisfy a particular focus. There being no further business before the committee, the House Judiciary Standing Committee meeting was adjourned at 5:18 p.m. Open document in new windowX

Prince Thorin II of Erebor woke from a true nightmare. A shadow haunted the marble halls of his mountain city, extinguishing its golden lights and filling the hearts of his folk with sickness. Then there was all-engulfing fire. And then darkness. And screaming. Thorin sat up straight in his bed, flinging aside his cover of fur. He breathed heavily with the raw memory of a dream that was not merely a dream. A shadow had indeed crept into Erebor, the shadow of greed, and nothing good could follow when a king cared more for treasures than for his people. He had been troubled for a while by his grandfather's growing love of gold, both in sleep and in wakefulness. It was not the first time that he dreamed of ruin and despair. Thorin sighed deeply, allowing for his heartbeat to wane. Then, he got out of bed and tended to his morning routine of washing and dressing. It usually settled his nerves enough to begin a new day. As he finished braiding his hair, a few knocks sounded through his bedroom door. "Morning, Yer Highness! May I come in?" The voice belonged to Dwalin, his cousin, sparring partner and, most of all, trusted friend. "Yes, of course," answered Thorin, from the bathroom, then checked his image in the mirror. On that particular morning, it was proving more difficult to hide the traces of a nightmare that had a chance of coming true. He still did not look like himself, at least not like a proud heir of Durin. Yet, he knew that he was safe with Dwalin. He did not have to put up any brave fronts for him. Thorin secured his last braid with a silver cuff and walked out into his bedroom, where his friend was waiting. Dwalin greeted him with a smile, then began frowning. "You all right?" he asked. "Ah, well, I have something that might cheer you up," said Dwalin with a cheeky grin. One of his arms was bent behind his back, conspicuously. Thorin approached him with raised eyebrows. He could not remember any occasion for gift giving falling on that day. He could certainly remember that his birthday was much later in the year. He had also not asked for anything specific. But, by the self-satisfied expression on his cousin's face, it had to be something good for a change, which was welcome. "Ready?" asked Dwalin, not letting go of the grin. Thorin nodded with a heartier smile, and Dwalin brought his hand slowly to the front. Thorin glanced down at it and watched as his friend's unfolding fist revealed a dagger in a golden scabbard, masterfully carved with Dwarven patterns and a string of runes. Thorin did not have to read the runes to know what they said. He raised a pair of hardly believing eyes to Dwalin. "This is -" he began, but words just didn't come out. Thorin stared speechless at the dagger still residing in Dwalin's palm. It was his favorite heirloom of his great house. The dagger had kept his ancestor, Durin the Deathless, alive, safe and well fed on his lonely journey through the wilderness until he had come to the lake of Kheled-zâram and founded Khazad-dûm, the greatest city of the Dwarves, in the mountains upon its shores. Yet, it had been an immaterial heirloom, until then. It had been lost over the lengthening years, and Thorin had only seen it in drawings or heard of it in songs. "I took the liberty of adding your seal to the handle," offered Dwalin, shoving the dagger a bit into the prince's arms. Thorin looked back to his friend, mesmerized. He had completely forgotten his dark dream and the stifling gloom that it had cast over his heart. He didn't even think to ask why he was being given a present in the first place. Thorin snapped out of his reverie, finally. He had to keep his hands from shaking as he lifted them to collect his gift. "Thank you," he said, almost in a whisper. "You're welcome," replied Dwalin, sounding very pleased. Thorin lowered his right hand over the dagger as if he half expected it to vanish under his touch. It didn't, however. It remained solid as he curled his fingers around it and perceived the definite weight of iron. He studied it for a while. The handle did have his four-petal seal engraved just above the cross-guard. It was his as much as it was his first father's. With a good grip, he extracted the dagger slowly from its sheath, relishing the emergence of a shining new blade. On the length of the fuller another string of runes spelled out its legendary name, King's Keeper. According to records, the name had been etched into the blade once Durin had become King of Durin's Folk. The dagger had remained faithfully at his side for his entire long reign. It was believed to have been forged by Aulë himself, granting Durin with his unusually enduring life force. Thorin smiled at him, but then looked back down, putting the dagger back into its scabbard. Thorin looked up at him and nodded, somewhat consoled by the utter confidence gleaming in his friend's eyes. He began to say something, but he was interrupted by the sound of his bedroom door being thrown open. He turned, startled. Bruni, a Dwarf from the Royal Guard, was standing breathless in its threshold. "My Lord, a great wind is coming. Lord Balin thinks it's a hurricane. He bids you come quickly to the gate," said the Dwarf. Thorin looked back to Dwalin, who returned his worried gaze. He put the dagger on his nightstand, then walked swiftly towards the bearer of worrying news. Thorin thought that it might already be too late, but he did not say it. "Any women and children among them?" he asked instead. Thorin and Dwalin followed Bruni out on the terrace above the Great Door of Erebor. Thorin looked out into the distance at the darkening sky and the pines bending violently on the slopes of the Mountain. This was no hurricane. It was his nightmare coming to pass. Balin rushed to his side, his luxurious beard flying in the wind. "What is it?" asked Balin.

Don't let the weather fool you! This has been a beautiful autumn. The temperatures are so warm that it seems impossible that snow could be in our immediate future. I personally love the change of season. As the weather cools, I get anxious to use fibers that I didn't use in the hotter weather. The autumn and winter patterns are now out, and there are always too many to choose from. The store is full of models- Rowan has just sent a box full, the Lang trunk show is on its way and is trickling in, Tahki and S Charles have arrived, as well as Plymouth and Berroco. We have also made up beautiful sweaters in Madeline Tosh, and Filatura. And of course another of my favorites, Isager. We have a baby dress, beautiful lace scarf, and a couple other shawls in the works. And don't forget the MaggiKnit kits and books. They are perfect for Syracuse winters. Shopping at your local yarn shop should be inspiring and full of great ideas. All the local yarn shops in Syracuse benefit from your buying in the area. That goes for our local communities as well. So thank you for your support and I will continue to bring you the best quality yarns for every size purse. We will see you soon in Jamesville!

On Saturday 12th January, I went to the launch of the Golden Egg Academy in Bath. I expected that I would meet at least a couple of people I knew – and I could now tell them about my latest success. I had known since before Christmas that The Selkies of Scoresby Nab had been long-listed for the Times/Chicken House Competition. You would think I'd be bursting to tell anyone and everyone – but I felt oddly reticent. Shy even. I found myself lost deep in La-la land: talking with the Barry Cunningham, finding that Beverley Birch had read a previous blogpost and remembered it, welcomed by Imogen Cooper as an equal. I had slid into a world of my imagination. But in my daydreams, it had been easy, I had confidence – not this edgy feeling I have now. I feel I'm tiptoeing on the borders of Fairyland, nervous and full of hope and fear. I've had lovely little glimpses and excursions: a workshop with the much-admired David Almond; twitter conversations with the wonderfully accessible Joanne Harris; and even Susan Hill. There was astonishing interview with Greg Mosse on the MA at West Dean where for a moment he helped me soar, to feel like a proper writer. But I'm scared. I'm frightened to succeed. I've grown accustomed to being second-rate, an also-ran. Grade B 'O' & 'A'levels, a II:I English degree at Loughborough, not Oxford, a minor teaching post. It's all been quite comfortable – and I bitterly resent it. It's also painfully true that I envied Susie Wilde her well-deserved First in her MA at West Dean. There are times I really don't like myself. I wonder, am I bringing my own danger into the Perilous Realm? I really don't mean to be smug or condescending or self-satisfied – but I hear those thin, superior voices in my head. They distract me from paying proper attention, they tell me I know that or this already. On one hand, I am so wary of pride that I find it hard to rejoice.On the other, I so desire recognition from authors I wish were my peers that I fear I must be insufferable. I look to see who has congratulated me far too often – yet I am genuinely moved when anybody does wish me well. Am I hunting for fairy gold? This entry was posted in Philosophy, Writing and tagged Barry Cunningham, Beverley Birch, David Almond, Greg Mosse, Imogen Cooper, Joanne Harris, MA, West Dean, write, writer, writing by KMLockwood. Bookmark the permalink. Love it – such friends, such advice! Believe! I don't know why you find it so hard to like yourself. I do. Very much indeed. 'Fake it till you make it.' Maybe the best piece of advice I've ever been given. Act as though you have confidence and believe in yourself, and eventually your brain will forget that you're faking it. It works, and you deserve to believe in yourself. I would add 'fake it till you make it … and then carry on faking it'. Self-doubt won't go away even when you're published. It stalks you every day, but sometimes you can pretend it isn't there, and , even if it is, you can learn to enjoy the surprising, astonishing and, frankly, lovely things that come your way. Big congratulations on the longlisting. Hope this is the start of good things for you. A lovely post, and something everyone will identify with – the gremlin on one shoulder taunting our every move towards success, and the defiant angel on the other, urging us forward. Us in the middle, strung between the two. The way to give the gremlin of self doubt a kicking is to pretend you can't hear him. He's lost out this time – you're well on your way! There's nothing more satisfying than being respected by those you respect. I'm chuffed to bits to hear about your long-listing for the Chicken House! I'm sure you deserve it. I like you too! :)) (Incidentally we have all felt the way you describe, and sometimes we still do.) Susan Price's characters often say, when going on a journey, pack courage and leave fear at home. May the fairy gold turn into gold indeed. You've earned it so enjoy it Phillippa! Don't think about others. A writing life, like any creative pursuit, is a journey; its particular twists and turns unique to yourself. And keep on writing–this strange thing that we all do for the love of it. It's wonderful news about Selkies! And I think most authors feel the same way!

Diplomas help turn tragedy into triumph at Cal State Dominguez Hills May 23, 2017 In News Keisha Keller and Cynthia Perry, mother and daughter, graduating together from Cal State Dominguez Hills Friday morning. They've both gone through school together, and Keisha was supposed to graduate last year but her newborn son died from SIDS the day finals started. May 19, 2017.

By Sandy Mazza, Daily Breeze POSTED: 05/19/17, 7:47 PM PDT Keisha Keller graduates on May 19, 2017, morning from CSUDH's College of Business Administration and Public Policy. (Submitted photos) Keisha Keller ended the worst year of her life with exceptional finesse, taking home a hard-earned diploma from Cal State Dominguez Hills' largest commencement ceremonies ever on Friday. She initially was due to graduate a year ago, but she awoke on the day of finals to find her newborn baby boy a victim of sudden infant death syndrome. It was a devastating blow that brought her world dangerously close to the brink of chaos and misery. She had already struggled to finish classes with high marks while being pregnant, a wife, and a mother to her 9-year-old son. To bear the death of her 5-week-old, Legend Aurelius Jackson, she turned to her lifelong faith in God. "I don't know how Keisha was holding up," said her mother, Cynthia Perry. "The first day of Legend's passing, she said, 'Mom, I'm standing on God's word.' "I asked her to come sit down. She said, 'No mom. I have to stand on God's word. I have to stand on his promises.' " STUDYING TOGETHER Keller, 33, had decided to get her college degree shortly after her mother enrolled in Los Angeles Harbor College in 2012. The two live together in Long Beach, near other members of their close-knit family. They helped each other with schoolwork, meals and transportation. In 2014, they transferred together to Cal State Dominguez Hills in Carson. Both pursued business-related degrees, with Keller focusing on entrepreneurship and Perry pursuing human resources management. Keller's pregnancy was an unexpected blessing that came in her last year of school. She and her husband had tried for years to have another baby. It made the school year especially challenging, as she balanced her studies with heartburn, weight gain and fatigue. But, she persisted — even turning her classroom chair, with a front-facing attached desk, to the side so she could fit comfortably. She attended classes until two days before giving birth and returned to school after only a two-week break. Determined to move forward with her studies, she bore the daily struggle because she was excited about building her own business as her family grew. LOSING LEGEND On April 20, the day of finals, she awoke surprisingly refreshed. "I woke up early but I was well-rested — and I knew I shouldn't have been," Keller said. Legend usually woke her about every two hours. She rushed to his side. He wasn't cold, but he wasn't warm either. Her screams woke her mother. "It just ate my belly up when I heard" her screams, Perry said. "When I saw her and the baby, I was on autopilot. Just so helpless. So paralyzed. My youngest son heard me screaming. We were trying to revive the baby." The next few weeks were a minute-to-minute struggle. "I felt let down, but I knew I still needed God," Keller said. "It's like athletic training — you don't give up when it's time for battle." When it was time to get dressed and ready for the day, she imagined she was putting on her battle gear. "I felt like I had died and was starting new," Keller said. "I knew I had to want to fight for my restoration, that it's not going to just come." And she faced the crushing grief in manageable portions. "God gives you little doses because, if he put it all on you at once, you wouldn't be able to bear it. Day to day, it gets easier. I don't feel like crying all day. I didn't feel like I was going to break down," she said. "It's based on my faith in God. Because of him I'm strong. I'm going to turn my tragedy into a triumph." 'FAITH TOOK TIME' The next semester, Keller decided to add a second minor in computer science to her degree. She wanted to keep busy, but it was difficult to face questions from classmates about her baby. "I tried to ignore people and sit in the back of the class," she said. "The first time somebody asked me, I froze and ran into the classroom. I didn't know what to say." But she knew that God had a plan. "I knew something good would come of this," she said. "I said, 'God you have to keep me or I'm going to go crazy.' " Perry was in awe of her daughter's strength. More than two decades ago, the mother of four struggled with cocaine addition and temporarily left her family to go to rehab. When she returned home, she devoted herself to her family and work. All of her children attended college, with Keller being last. But the loss of her infant grandson seemed an even greater obstacle. "I wanted to feel God's love, but I felt let down," Perry said. "Faith took time. I prayed and praised the Lord with everything in me until it felt real, so I could feel his presence. I was trying to be her strength, but I was a hot mess." On Friday, the mother and daughter wore graduation caps decorated with photos of Legend and the words, "When life gives you lemons, be legendary," and "Rest in Heaven." The university held two commencement ceremonies at the StubHub Center's soccer stadium for its class of 4,500 graduates. For Keller, taking hold of her degree was like a breath of fresh air. "It's been obstacle after obstacle," she said. "I'm proud of myself — that I was able to do this. This is not a new life. I had to jump back in a journey I was already in. "I'm in my right mind, and not bitter. If the devil has your mind, he's got you. My reflecting on that day wasn't going to bring him back. I can't be focused on the whys. I have to give it to God because I couldn't take this, it's too much to bear. I'm helpless, but I'm not hopeless." Safe Sleep Information

Space Shuttle STS-127 Mission NASA Files STS-127 (ISS assembly flight 2J/A) was a NASA Space Shuttle mission to the International Space Station (ISS). It was the twenty-third flight of Space Shuttle Endeavour. The primary purpose of the STS-127 mission was to deliver and install the final two components of the Japanese Experiment Module: the Exposed Facility (JEM EF), and the Exposed Section of the Experiment Logistics Module (ELM-ES). When Endeavour docked with the ISS on this mission in July 2009, it set a record for the most humans in space at the same time in the same vehicle, the first time thirteen people have been at the station at the same time. It also tied the record of thirteen people in space at any one time. The first launch attempt, on 13 June 2009, was scrubbed due to a gaseous hydrogen leak observed during tanking.The Ground Umbilical Carrier Plate (GUCP) on the external fuel tank experienced a potentially hazardous hydrogen gas leak similar to the fault that delayed the Space Shuttle Discovery mission STS-119 in March 2009. Since a launch date of 18 June 2009 would have conflicted with the launch of the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO)/Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite (LCROSS), NASA managers discussed the scheduling conflict with both the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter project and the Air Force Eastern Range, which provides tracking support for rockets launched from Florida.A decision was made to allow the shuttle to attempt a second launch on 17 June 2009, allowing LRO to launch on 18 June 2009. The second launch attempt on 17 June 2009 was also scrubbed due to hydrogen leak issues seen from the Ground Umbilical Carrier Plate. Due to conflicts with the launch of the LRO, and due to a beta angle constraint, the next available launch opportunity was scheduled for 11 July 2009. A successful tanking test for leak checks was performed on 1 July 2009, with modified GUCP seals allowing launch preparations to proceed as scheduled. Because of lightning strikes near the launch pad during the evening of 10 July 2009, NASA scrubbed the launch for the third time and rescheduled for 12 July 2009. Due to a Return To Launch Site (RTLS) weather violation, NASA scrubbed the launch for the fourth time on the evening of 12 July 2009. STS-127's fifth launch attempt, on 13 July 2009, was also scrubbed due to anvil clouds and lightning within 10 nautical miles (19 km) of the launch site, which violated launch safety rules. STS-127 finally launched successfully on its sixth launch attempt, on 15 July 2009 at 18:03 EDT. Pieces of foam were observed falling off of the External Tank during the ascent, the same occurrence that had led to the loss of Columbia in 2003. However, Endeavour only received minor scuffs to its heat shield, the damage not enough to cause concern over reentry. The shuttle landed at Kennedy Space Center 16 days later at 10:48 EDT on 31 July 2009. The First Graduating Class of Artemis Astronauts on This Week @NASA NASA 2020: Are You Ready?

Kashgar Ancient City The ancient city of Kashgar, a national AAAAA tourist attraction, covers an area of 20 square kilometers. The capital of Shule was renamed Panzhi City, the predecessor of Shule City in the Western Han Dynasty. According to the textual research in recent years, Pangu Site is the ancient city of Eskesa in the southeast suburb of Kashgar City. It is located on the high port of the junction of the Kizil River and the Turman River. Geographically, this speculation is very likely, but it needs further confirmation, Shule State... Wang Zhishule City. It is the earliest written record of Zhang Qian's ancient city of Kashgar more than 2100 years ago. The formation of Shule (today's Kashgar) will undoubtedly be one or two hundred years ahead of schedule. As for the orientation area of the city, there is no reference at present. Molstupa Located on a sand dune in the middle section of the Gumatag Mountains, more than 20 kilometers east suburb of Kashgar, it is separated from the ancient river course of the Chukmak River to the south by the ancient city of Hanoi a few kilometers away. This is a famous Buddhist Temple site near the capital of ancient Shule in the Western Regions of China. It is a building in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. In 2001, Molfo Pagoda was designated as a national cultural relic protection unit. Id Kah Mosque Founded in 1442, it is situated on the west side of the Etigal Square in the center of the scenic area. It covers an area of 16,820 square meters and covers an area of 25.22 mu. It is one of the largest mosques in Central Asia and is now a key national cultural relic protection unit. Xiang Fei's hometown Apahoga Tomb, located in Haohan Village, 5 kilometers northeast of Kashgar City, covers an area of 30 mu. It was built around 1640 A.D. and has been 350 years since. It is a typical Uygur-style ancient mausoleum building. It is now a state-level key cultural relic protection unit. Ligulu City In the ancient city of Eskza, the Uygur language of "Eskza" means "broken city". Located on the east side of Paynaf Road in Kashgar City, in 1954, archaeologist Wu Bolun visited the city. From various signs, the Castle of Essex was 17 years from 74 to 91 A.D., and Banchao had been stationed in Shule Guopan Cheng City. It is now a key cultural relic protection unit at the autonomous region level and a patriotic education base in Kashgar. Fule Wisdom Park The Tomb of Yusufu Has Hajifu, located in the southern suburb of Kashgar, covers 965 square meters. It was rebuilt in 1987 and reopened in 1988. It is now a key cultural relic protection unit at the autonomous region level. Lai Ning City In 1759, the twenty-fourth year of Qianlong reign, the Qing army put down the "Great and Small Huojia Rebellion" and unified the whole of Xinjiang. Shortly afterwards, Yonggui, the minister stationed in Kashgar, wrote a letter to the court asking for a new city to be built as the official office of the court stationed in Kashgar. Qianlong Quartet. Construction began in April 1762 and the new town was completed by the end of August. In 1771, the emperor Qianlong wrote a personal letter for the new city, which was named "Leining City", in order to appease all ethnic groups and people in the border areas to live and work in peace and contentment. Since the liberation of Xinjiang, Leining City has been the place where the public security and armed police are stationed. It is the base of patriotic education in Kashgar. The Hathpace Folk House Uygur is originally called "Kuoziqi Abesi Lane", which means "earthenware on high cliffs". Therefore, there are many earthen pottery workshops, so we can get the title. Gaotai houses now have more than 640 households and more than 4000 inhabitants, all of whom are Uygurs. Gaotai covers an area of 86 Mu and has more than 40 lanes, of which 16 are dead ends. Upal Neolithic Cultural Site In 1972, four Neolithic cultural sites, Aktala, Wingulok, Kuruktala and Dvorak, were discovered successively in the area of Upal, more than 50 kilometers southwest of Kashgar City. They are universally known as "Upal Neolithic Cultural Site". It is the most Western Neolithic cultural site found so far in China, which indicates that there was a certain origin between primitive human beings on Kashgar oasis and the Yellow River basin in China six or seven thousand years ago. Ancient City Site of Hanoi Located 28 kilometers northeast of Kashgar City, located in the territory of Bershkranmu Township, it is an ancient cultural site with the earliest origin and longest development history near Kashgar City. It began in the late Neolithic Age of primitive society (about 4000 years ago) and flourished in the Tang and Song Dynasties (7th to 13th centuries A.D.) until the mid-Qing Dynasty. April 1957 was designated as the key cultural relics protection unit of the autonomous region. Three fairy cave Sanxian Cave is located in the north of Kashgar City, more than 10 kilometers north of the right bank of the Bershkranmu River, half of the waist of the cliff. According to time, the earliest excavation of murals and statues in Sanxian Cave in Kashgar was in the middle and late of the 20th century, and its lower limit could reach the period of Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. Yunmu Laksha Palace Originally the Yunmulaka Xia Waterlogging Dam, it was the water source of the garrison command in the Qing Dynasty. In the late Qing Dynasty, the military command headquarters had been built on the original site by the citizens. It was once the largest waterlogging dam in the old city of Kashgar. It provided water demand for the surrounding residents for a long time, which was the witness of the residents'life in the ancient city of Kashgar for thousands of years. Russian Consulate Around 1890, Tsarist Russia had fully established its foothold in Kashgar. In the spring of 1893, a formal consulate was built at Seman Village in the west of the city, which is today's Seman Hotel. The new consulate covers an area of 15,000 square meters, 22.5 mu. All the houses are built in Russian style. All the bungalows are covered with thick tin vaults, the roofs are painted with dark green paint, and there are large air vents. The interior floor of the house is paved with thick wooden boards, the walls are solid and the walls are glass windows. In winter, the consulate is made of tall thatched furnaces covered with copper skin, and the shape of the consulate is unique and luxurious. Style. Its architectural style has a great influence on the neighborhood architecture after Kashgar. Following this example, Russian architecture is very striking on the streets of Kashgar in the 1940s and 1950s. british consulate On August 25, 1908, the British Consulate General in Kashgar was formally established. The first British Consul General in Kashgar was Shu Dehua. At that time, the consulate's office was located in the area of Auto Parts Companies in the region and rented houses. Four years later, in 1912, Britain built a regular consulate in its Niwak Hotel. In order to surpass Russia, it covers an area of 50 mu, more than twice that of the Russian Consulate. The British consulate was designed by Friendberg of the Swedish Missionary Mission in Kazakhstan. It was constructed for five years before and after it was completed by the end of 1917. Swedish Christian Agency Located in the site of today's armed forces ministry, covering an area of about 40 mu, there are built-in churches and two Swedish-style bungalows. The church was destroyed in the Kashgar war in 1934. The two bungalows are still preserved with brick structure. Geng Gong Shrine Zuo Zongtang led the army into Xinjiang, and Liu Jintang, the commander-in-chief of the front line, drove the Agubai invading army out of Xinjiang and set up a large battalion in Kashgar. He presided over the construction of a magnificent Geng Gong Temple at the top of the old city of Kashgar, under which is "Jiulongquan". Uygur "spring edge", located in the northeastern part of the scenic spot of a spring, because there are nine spring eyes, the Han people call it "Jiulongquan". From the Qing Dynasty to the early liberation period, Jiulongquan was also called Geng Gong Quan, and an old Buddhist temple in Quanbian was also called Geng Gong Temple, which was a place name attached to the commemoration of Geng Gong, a famous general of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Located in the center of Kashgar City, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, south to Renmin Road, north to Seman Road, Yawag Road, West to Yunmu Laksha Road, east to Tuman River sightseeing belt. The ancient city of Kashgar has a long history, rich culture and unique customs. It is known as "not to travel to Kashgar is not counted as Xinjiang, not to travel to the ancient city is not counted as Kashgar". Kashgar is a transportation hub in southern Xinjiang. Airplanes, trains and buses can reach Kashgar. Kashgar Airport is the second largest airport in Xinjiang, located in the northern suburbs of Kashgar City, about 9 kilometers away from the city center, and has nearly 20 flights to and from Kashgar every day; Kashgar Railway trains have four trips to and from Urumqi every day; Kashgar Highway has eight links, from Urumqi, Hetian, Kashgar, Aksu, Kurla, Turpan and 11 counties in the whole district can take buses. Within the city, take buses No. 2, No. 7, No. 8, No. 22 and No. 28 to get off at Atticel Station. Seven of them pass through the old city, and you can choose to get off at any station deep in the old city. Shanghai Museum The Shanghai Museum was founded in 1952. It was originally located at the Old Jockey Club at 325 Nanjing West Road. It moved to the Zhonghui Building at 16 Henan South Road in October 1959.

Suspect in fatal Fort Smith shooting arrested Thomas Saccente Times Record [email protected] A suspect in a reported fatal shooting in Fort Smith on Thursday was arrested Saturday. Christopher Neil Walker, 34, was arrested sometime after 10 p.m. Saturday at Garrison Pointe Market & Cafe at 415 Garrison Ave., according to Cpl. Anthony Rice of the Fort Smith Police Department, on a felon in possession of a firearm warrant. "We believe him to be the shooter, but he's not going to be charged with that until the Sebastian County Prosecuting Attorney's Office had a chance to review the case," Rice said. Fort Smith police responded to River Valley Inn & Suites at 5103 Towson Ave. on Thursday after receiving a call from dispatch stating that Ethan Meagley, 27, was lying in the southeast parking lot with a gunshot wound around 6:50 p.m. that day. Dispatch initially received a call in reference to an intoxicated man lying in the parking lot of Inn & Suites. Emergency personnel transported Meagley to an area hospital, where he was pronounced deceased. Detectives with the Police Department believe that "some type of altercation" in the parking lot preceded the reported shooting based on their preliminary investigation of the incident, the article states. They also determined that Noah Bell, 19, was involved in the reported incident. Police located and arrested Bell for aggravated robbery and two unrelated warrants out of Sebastian County, a Police Department news release states. Bell is currently held in the Sebastian County Adult Detention Center without bond. Police also arrested possible witness Charles Ross, 27, on an unrelated warrant. Walker is currently being held on a $50,000 cash bond, according to a Sebastian County Adult Detention Center deputy. He is scheduled to appear in court Wednesday at 9 a.m.

We could compare wikipedias of different languages better by articles of more focused, clearly defined topics. I propose a new list for mathematics: (Algebra) Fermat's Last Theorem Abel–Ruffini theorem (Geometry) Pythagorean theorem Euler characteristicPolyhedron (Analysis) (Statistics) (Logic / others) The following is the list of changes: Remove: algebra, arithmetic, mathematical analysis, numerical analysis, equation, geometry, trigonometry, number, number theory, statistics. Add: Fermat's Last Theorem (Q132469), Abel-Ruffini theorem (Q657482), Möbius strip (Q226843), polyhedra (Q172937), limit (Q177239), Taylor series (Q131187), trigonometric functions (Q93344), normal distribution (Q133871), probability theory (Q5862903), Boolean algebra (Q173183) Other candidates of consideration might be: Negative numbers Fundamental theorem of calculus Gödel's incompleteness theorems Markov process --Rollingfrenzy (talk) 09:11, 30 January 2015 (UTC) Sounds reasonable in gerenal, but are you sure that highly technical topics like Fermat's Last Theorem and Abel–Ruffini theorem are suitable for a list like this? — Yerpo Eh? 18:50, 31 January 2015 (UTC) I agree with the overall reorganization, but not most of the topic substitutions. In particular, I think it's worth keeping the major divisions of mathematics, algebra, mathematical analysis, and geometry, as well as the elementary mathematical concepts arithmetic, equation, and number; and somehow I just can't part with trigonometry or statistics, either. (Full disclosure: I have a degree in statistics.) The items in bold are so marked in the List itself, meaning they are considered "top priority" articles, so their removal should not be undertaken lightly. This leaves me two substitutions to make: I could let number theory and numerical analysis go and add normal distribution (central to the study of probability and statistics) and parallel postulate (one of the most important statements in the history of mathematics). - dcljr (talk) 02:37, 1 February 2015 (UTC) The word arithmetic is too ambiguous and does not have clearly corresponding word in some languages (in Japanese, we usually say "四則演算", literally "the mathematical operations of the four rules", since distinction between calculations, mathematical operations and arithmetics is not clear) while individual operation like addition has. In many languages, the article for "arithmetics" seems to be merely a collection of the description of the four basic arithmetics. Some of the major divisions may be worth keeping, but we should care about how the article should look like and examine whether we really need that content. I also think this list should provide a list of good sample points of wikipedia, rather than the complete coverage of the basic mathematics. Parallel postulate. Hmm, it sounds worth considering ... (replacing Boolean algebra, maybe) --Rollingfrenzy (talk) 19:13, 3 February 2015 (UTC) Regarding arithmetic, Wikidata lists 117 Wikipedia languages having corresponding articles, including ja:算術. I can't say whether that's a good Japanese title for this concept or not, but it is one of 2 terms listed in one of my English–Japanese dictionaries under "mathematics". [g] Note that the Wikidata item is about the "elementary branch of mathematics", not just the four operations. If the existing Wikiepdia articles are so limited, they need expanding. As for "complete coverage of the basic mathematics", that is clearly not what this list is aiming for, nor is that even a realistic goal. I see it more as a collection of major topics that can serve to point out (as they are expanded and wikified) what other articles are worth writing. Also, most of them are the kinds of articles that would naturally split off into more specific, related articles as they develop. In other words, they serve as "seeds" that can help a small Wikipedia to grow. When viewed in this light, many of the topics I cite above as things I wouldn't want to lose could serve in this role nicely, whereas more narrowly-tailored articles about specific theorems, say, would not necessarily function the same way. - dcljr (talk) 03:33, 4 February 2015 (UTC) I think we should take balance of the divisions, the theorems, the (proof) systems, and the object of studies in mathematics. In this point of view, wikipedias should have some articles on some of the most famous theorems, IMHO. (Pythagorean theorem is rather a definition of Euclidean norms in modern mathematics.) I picked up FLT and Abel-Ruffini's because they are famous and easy to understand and describe while difficult to prove. (Maybe one of the two (Abel-Ruffini's?) should be replaced by a famous theorem which is easy to understand and prove, but I just couldn't illustrate a good example.)--Rollingfrenzy (talk) 19:13, 3 February 2015 (UTC) Doesn't Pythagorean theorem play that role already? - dcljr (talk) 03:38, 4 February 2015 (UTC) Structure change firstEdit We can continue to talk about possible topic substitutions, but I don't see any disagreement about the basic idea of restructuring the mathematics portion of the list along the lines outlined above. Might I suggest the following scheme using the current set of topics? Logic and foundations Function (mathematics) Some of these things are kind of hard to place, so I welcome other suggestions. - dcljr (talk) 03:33, 4 February 2015 (UTC) I agree the structure change--Wolfch (talk) 01:40, 4 March 2015 (UTC) I mostly agree with dcljr in first considering the structure. Concerning the possible changes, I think that the present list is not bad, but if it has to be more "focused" then perhaps I would replace Arithmetic, Number theory and Set theory by Zero, Derivative and Set (mathematics). With these changes, I would rename section 2: Numbers. --Txebixev (talk) 13:03, 16 March 2015 (UTC) I've gone ahead and made the structure change exactly as I proposed above. Further discussion is, of course, welcome… - dcljr (talk) 03:16, 6 February 2016 (UTC) Anatomy & MedicineEdit After discussion elsewhere the following (hopefully) uncontroversial changes were made by myself and Doc James (although on the wrong page). Penicillin -> COPD Antibacterial -> Antibiotic Lungs -> Nerve I'm creating this section for future discussion, as I find some of the choices within these fields a tad arbitrary, especially when it comes to anatomy. Doc James Would you like to weigh in here? I'm going to appropriate the above argument from the mathematics section - a catch all article such as Anatomy isn't very useful, and would do well to be replaced by something more important - such as Thyroid. CFCF (talk) 16:36, 21 May 2015 (UTC) First of all, please list all of the changes you two made, as this is kinda confusing and I'm not even sure if we're still at 1000 entries anymore. It is generally preferable to discuss before changing, but most of the changes I could agree with (and I know Doc James is an expert). Still, at least linking to that "discussion elsewhere" would be helpful... I do have an issue with a few changes, such as: removing en:Cholera which is still one of the most important diseases in the developing world (we strive for balance here) replacing en:Lungs with en:Nerve - I don't see how the latter is so much more important than the former. Perhaps Nerve could replace something else instead? Also, en:Anatomy should stay in my opinion, as it is not just a catch all term, but one of the oldest scientific disciplines and so important both as a natural science topic and within science history. — Yerpo Eh? 07:29, 22 May 2015 (UTC) While I will at large agree with Yerpo, and admit that the concessions we made are far from ideal, I will try to justify them. I believe some non-medical topics are overrepresented here, and that medicine/anatomy/biology topics are lacking in this list. I am not currently willing to take that debate, instead to justify the reordering within med/anat/bio topics: Cholera causes a form of gastroenteritis, so while a very important subject the term also includes similar diseases caused by other pathogens. Often the treatment is similar, and in lieu of having both we should choose gastroenteritis. Lungs are covered under respiratory system, and in such a limited list it is superfluous to include both. That said I'm willing to replace respiratory system with lungs. While I agree that anatomy is an important subject (not in the least because I primarily work on anatomy articles), with such a limited number of articles I find including the actual organs far more important. CFCF (talk) 11:38, 23 May 2015 (UTC) You're right about the respiratory system, and I think replacing it with lungs would be a good idea. Let's see what others think about these changes before making a final decision. For this purpose, please list all the changes that you made, here or in the Template:Top1000 recent changes. — Yerpo Eh? 05:58, 24 May 2015 (UTC) for your considerationEdit Instead of Influenza, Smallpox, Dentistry, Pneumonia or Alzheimer's disease. --Igel B TyMaHe (talk) 08:42, 4 June 2015 (UTC) Dubai City/EmirateEdit Another one of those silly distinctions that only serve as a field for ping-ponging links in Wikidata (remember Brussels?)... Encyclopedially, the city (d:Q612) and the emirate (d:Q613) are largely coterminous - just look at the articles linked with what is supposed to be the item representing the city d:Q612. Almost all talk primarily about Dubai as a political entity, including en:Dubai. Any ideas how to solve this? — Yerpo Eh? 08:02, 6 June 2015 (UTC) I would prefer keeping Dubai City (d:Q612) for the following reasons: In our list, "Dubai" is listed in the "Cities" section. Dubai City has more interwiki links, which means there are more languages treating Dubai City as vital article than the emirate. --Romethus (talk) 05:04, 8 June 2015 (UTC) Please add The Divine ComedyEdit I think that the Divine Comedy should be added to this list. It is a masterpiece of the Italian literature and one of the most important works of the world literature. Dante's work also established solid foundations to the theological and scientific thinking of the following centuries. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rapper skull (talk) 17:56, 17. september 2015‎ Which entry do you propose to remove to make room? — Yerpo Eh? 06:44, 18 September 2015 (UTC) I can't propose to remove anything from the poetry section, since there are only four entries, but maybe we could remove metal and steel from the physics section. — Rapper_skull 13:58, 19 September 2015 (UTC) I strongly oppose removing such important topics. — Yerpo Eh? 15:02, 19 September 2015 (UTC) Video game and SmartphoneEdit I think Video game (already discussed here two years ago) and Smartphone should be in the list. I suggest to remove Litre, Physical chemistry, Hard disk drive, Email or Acceleration. Paucabot (talk) 19:31, 18 September 2015 (UTC) Litre could go, possibly also Physical chemistry, other topics are too core. Although I'm not sure I'd replace them with these two (as per the comment two years ago). — Yerpo Eh? 07:09, 19 September 2015 (UTC) I agree with Litre and physical chemistry. I also think hard disk is not very core. I would compare hard disk to Chipset, RAM or Motherboard. Maybe replace it by Computer data storage or Integrated circuit? I neither don't see the cority of acceleration, as we do have Force. Taking a look at the article, it seems a very mathematical definition, not a core physical concept as you can see comparing its background with the corresponding to Force. And yes, video game and smartphone are very recent, but the former is approximately as recent as email, artificial intelligence, hard disk and CPU. I think video game is comparable to cinema (or Film): video game industry is earning more money than film industry and is replacing TV, movies as the main leisure activity in some age segments. As for smarthpone, I think it's a big big revolution and it's the next step in computing (they are much more popular in the third world than normal computers), but I admit this item it's much more recent than video games. We could change it for Cell phone to gain more time length but we also have Telephone, which is maybe too much overlapping. Paucabot (talk) 11:03, 19 September 2015 (UTC) Wikidata Q15645384 and Q12106 (Wheat)Edit Please consider change d:Q12106 with d:Q15645384 in this list. Currently, none of the "big" Wikipedias doesn't have this article. (very similar problem with banana, apple etc.)--C3r4 (talk) 14:25, 6 February 2016 (UTC) Support There is a user on Wikidata who separated the taxon Triticum d:Q12106 and the cereal d:Q15645384. I think that in this list the cereal would be much more properly than the botanical genus. --Holder (talk) 06:44, 11 February 2016 (UTC) Support Wheat is listed as "Foodstuffs" instead of botanical.--Wolfch (talk) 08:02, 12 February 2016 (UTC) Catholic ChurchEdit I'm new to wikidata and meta, and I need your help with the following issue: "Catholic Church" is clearly the odd one in "Specific religions", as it refers to a church (an organisation), and not a religion like every other item in that section. This makes good sense in the context of enwiki, where en:Catholic Church describes both the church and its doctrine, i.e. [Roman] Catholicism. At the same time, en:Catholicism describes one of the en:Four Marks of the Church, which applies to most christian churches, and starts with a caveat: "This sense is to be distinguished from the use of these words to refer to the Roman Catholic Church..." In other languages -- and particularly in ruwiki, where I'm coming from -- the two meanings of Catholicism are expressed with different terms. Thus, the Russian interwiki of en:Catholicism came to describe the doctrine of the [Roman] Catholic Church; the Russian interwiki of en:Catholic Church -- the church itself and its organisation; and a third article is for the catholicity as one of the en:Four Marks of the Church. Now, our question is, how can we align that with WP:HAVE? Naturally, we want our main article on [Roman] Catholicism to be on the list; the Russian article on Catholic Church is essentially a subarticle of Catholicism. At the same time, we want to preserve the interwiki between en:Catholic Church and its Russian counterpart, since the subjects (though not the scope) of the two articles are the same. Looking at wikidata, Catholicism "has parts" Catholic Church and Old Catholic Church, but none of the other catholic churches in the sense of the en:Four Marks of the Church -- in particular, not en:Orthodox Catholic Church. This seems to imply that Q1841 "Catholicism" stands for the second meaning of the term, i.e. the doctrine of the [Roman] Catholic Church, -- and not the one described at en:Catholicism. I don't know if there exists a wikidata entry for the other meaning of catholicity. So, the source of our confusion is: there are three subjects, loosely mapped to two enwiki articles. One of the three merits an entry on WP:HAVE -- the religious doctrine; but it's not the main subject of its enwiki article. How can all this be handled? --146.200.13.17 23:58, 13 March 2016 (UTC) Can we add Shenzhen into the list?Edit Shenzhen is a city of more than ten million inhabitants in Southern China and among the fastest growing in the world. Wishva de Silva (talk) 15:02, 6 May 2016 (UTC) What do you propose to remove to make place for a new entry? — Yerpo Eh? 16:06, 7 May 2016 (UTC) Yes, we can. Not only Shenzen, but also Guangzhou (Canton). They should replace Cape Town and Nairobi which are much smaller. Propositum (talk) 15:25, 21 August 2016 (UTC) Size is not the same as importance. The lead of the en-wp article gives the impression that Shenzhen does not have a very important history. And by size it is not (yet?) in the absolute top. --LPfi (talk) 11:08, 1 December 2016 (UTC) So should we add Venice, Agra or Xi'an which used to be very important? Moreover, Guangzhou-Shenzen-Hong Kong is actually the biggest urban area in the world. Propositum (talk) 20:16, 27 January 2017 (UTC) Philosophers and social scientists: Martin HeideggerEdit Hello. I suggest to add Martin Heidegger instead of Noam Chomsky or Simone de Beauvoir. I think the most important and influential philosopher in the continental tradition in the 20th century should be in this list. Please comment. Ratte (talk) 18:28, 18 July 2016 (UTC) Zhu Xi is the first to be removed. Chomsky and Beauvoir are not less appreciated than Heidegger. Propositum (talk) 18:54, 22 August 2016 (UTC) ArtistsEdit Among early modern architects, Bernini should replace Sinan; as regards 16th-century painters, Caravaggio ought to take over Dürer's slot. The former are more famous, as the Wikimedia Tool Labs prove, and both were more important for the development of art. Propositum (talk) 20:19, 21 August 2016 (UTC) Popularity is not a relevant measure. We're here to educate, not entertain. Sinan should stay as the sole representative of eastern art in that section - it's a matter of balance. Similarly, Dürer represents a totally different period than Caravaggio and is also important as a humanist and a natural scientist. — Yerpo Eh? 06:40, 13 December 2016 (UTC) Popularity is the most relevant measure. And nationality is not an argument; we should take into account achievements. By the way, Turkey is more Western that Eastern. Propositum (talk) 17:45, 28 December 2016 (UTC) Nah, popularity is just the most lazy measure. We can do better than that. By the way, Turkey has been more Western than Eastern only for the past century or so. — Yerpo Eh? 07:32, 30 December 2016 (UTC) It is not a lazy measure. It is the most unbiased one. NPOV is the core of Wikipedia. Have You any better method? As regerds Turkey, it has been always connected with the West, but this is another story. Propositum (talk) 20:26, 27 January 2017 (UTC) View count of an English-language website unbiased? You have got to be joking. It's also self-referential apart from other wiki "sins". — Yerpo Eh? 11:39, 3 February 2017 (UTC) It is necessary to put Charles V instead of Palestrina. The former created an empire encompassing Germany, Spain, Italy, the Americas and the Philippines. The latter is much less popular than the other listed composers. Propositum (talk) 18:15, 22 August 2016 (UTC) Alternatively, we can replace Palestrina with Benjamin Franklin, which is one of the crucial figures in the history of America. Only few people listen nowadays to the papal composer. Propositum (talk) 17:49, 28 December 2016 (UTC) To keep the list balanced, you should either suggest removing someone from the political leader section or adding someone to the composer section. --MarsRover 22:51, 15 May 2017 (UTC) Wagner, RichardEdit Why he is more meaningfull than other? I think it will be better to remove bold font writing for Wagner.--SEA99 (talk) 13:08, 7 September 2016 (UTC) May be highlite Beatles instead?--SEA99 (talk) 16:35, 7 September 2016 (UTC) This is a good idea, because they have much more articles and views in Wikipedia than him (159/32,568 per day in 2016 compared with 132/8,319). But it is particularly necessary to include Michael Jackson who has better statistics than any other composer or musician in the history (190/54,677). Last but not least, the highlight for Stravinsky is more strange than for Wagner, because the former has only 111/4,005. Propositum (talk) 08:32, 28 January 2017 (UTC) Roman empire - Ancient RomeEdit I suggest that Ancient Rome is made the base article instead of Roman empire. In that way we would include all the history and culture of the Roman civilization, and not just its second half. --Chandra Varena (talk) 08:01, 1 December 2016 (UTC) Not a bad suggestion, but we already have the Byzantine Empire and the earlier part of the Roman civilization might not be as important as the latter. --MarsRover 21:58, 15 May 2017 (UTC) remove feminism / add rapeEdit Feminism is a eurocentristic/western topic. It hasn't had much effect on many Asian and African societies. Rape however was always present through human history, worldwide, and was and still is an important issue. It is also an often underestimated genocidal war tactic even though it is rarely spoken about. 185.100.87.228 03:35, 8 December 2016 (UTC) disagree. feminism represents the rise of women as equal to men in society, a huge issue, some would argue the largest social issue facing mankind. that is has roots in the West is not a reason to denigrate it. women's equality is much larger than any eurocentric idea of what women are. rape, while of course deadly serious, is taken more seriously now BECAUSE of feminism. there was a time when rape was in most of its forms not noteworthy.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 09:54, 25 February 2017 (UTC) When was this time that you are speaking of? Rape has always been illegal in most societies, often punishable by death. 134.130.182.31 23:55, 23 July 2017 (UTC) agree with anon on this. Generally the list should lean more toward specific topics. Also to recommend to Yazidi women or Chibok schoolgirls that the world need to read about equal rights seems a bit elitist. We have more basic issues, IMHO. --MarsRover 22:23, 15 May 2017 (UTC) should be done similar to "Slavery" right now "Slavery" is included, but "slave-ownership" (or slave-owner) is not D1gggg (talk) 19:29, 25 October 2017 (UTC) HormoneEdit Hormone doesn't belong in organic chemistry as there is no way that an organic chemist could tell whether a substance acts as a hormone or not. It should be moved to biochemistry or perhaps even to biology(physiology). --Episcophagus (talk) 18:51, 12 December 2016 (UTC) Agree, I suggest you put it under biochemistry. — Yerpo Eh? 20:08, 13 December 2016 (UTC) art of warEdit remove art of war from literature, add divine comedy by dante. art of war doesnt belong here, maybe in philosophy. the literature list is really short, i must say. we should probably also have don quixote in it.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 09:51, 25 February 2017 (UTC) Not against removing Art of War, but we already have Dante in the list. I don't think we also need his most famous work. Maybe another choice would work. --MarsRover 22:32, 15 May 2017 (UTC) Wikidata:List of 1000 articles every Wikipedia should haveEdit The lists in the individual Wikipedias are often outdated. Maybe they should be maintained by ListeriaBot. For this, the data must be in Wikidata. Is there a plain list of all WD item ids? See 282 items at d:Wikidata:List of 1000 articles every Wikipedia should have maintained by ListeriaBot, based on data at the corresponding WD item page d:Q5460604. User:Yerpo, can you provide a list of Q-ids or even better can you somehow add them to d:Q5460604? 85.180.34.213 06:26, 13 March 2017 (UTC) I can do this, but is it sensible/possible to list a thousand objects under "has part" in Q5460604? Besides, all the objects would then have to be equipped with the inverse property "part of" (P361) and I'm not sure what are the rules for such metadata. — Yerpo Eh? 09:19, 13 March 2017 (UTC) PS: where exactly did ListeriaBot get the partial list from? Maybe it's better to make a full list in the project space? — Yerpo Eh? 09:20, 13 March 2017 (UTC) I guess the list was created when Q5460604 had lots of "has part", see history. A discussion about it can be found at d:Wikidata:Project_chat/Archive/2017/01#Q5460604.23P527. I agree it would be useful if Wikidata could hold the information from this list somehow. But I'm not familiar enough with Wikidata to know how it should be done in the best way, if it is "allowed" at all. Boivie (talk) 11:45, 13 March 2017 (UTC) Maybe a new property has-list-item is needed, to avoid revers statements. Could that help? 77.179.239.159 14:24, 13 March 2017 (UTC) I don't think this will be approved, seeing that the strategy for WD is to facilitate dynamic querying for lists. Perhaps ask around the Community portal how this could be done, but for now it's better to make it outside the mainspace. I put the raw list of items at List of articles every Wikipedia should have/Itemlist. — Yerpo Eh? 06:34, 15 March 2017 (UTC) Yerpo: There are lists that can be dynamically generated (Wikidata lists), and there are lists that are maintained externally (e.g. Music charts, but also this Meta list). If one wants to describe the external lists, one has to store the information. "dynamic querying for lists" does not work if the information is not stored. Thanks for the raw item list!!! 77.179.181.135 15:32, 8 April 2017 (UTC) Global Perspective: HistoryEdit From reading the list, it is clear that the aim is to have a global perspective, which is great and critical for a global project like Wikipedia. With important entries like Ibn Battuta, Zheng He and the Gupta Empire, it is less anglo-centric and less euro-centric than most of these types of lists. Kudos to the creators for achieving that. There are still some critical gaps though, and it will require some additional work to make the list truly global in nature. Under History, I suggest adding the following four topics: Mali Empire, the richest civilization during the 14th century, with extensive trade reaching three continents, and with a highly developed and sophisticated culture. In comparison, Medieval Europe was at the time a stagnant backwater. Maya, one of the great early civilizations in the world, an independent inventor of writing and with sophisticated science and architecture. Inca, the great civilization of South America, with direct or indirect reach over almost a whole continent Sumer, the cradle of western civilization. While Sumer is part of Mesopotamia, which is on the list, it definitely deserves its own entry. Of course, to add also means to subtract. I propose removing the Hundred Years' War, the Thirty Years' War, The crusades and the Treaty of Versailles. These are all important events in European history, but they are not the most important and defining trends of European history, which are represented by the existing entries of Medieval Europe, The Renaissance, the Protestant Reformation and World War 1. For example, the Hundred Years' War was a long lasting local skirmish between the French speaking lords of France and the French speaking lords of England, neither of which were of global importance at the time, and the Thirty Years' War was one of many violent periods in European history. To double check my own thoughts on this, I consulted Felipe Fernandez-Armestos book Millenium: The history of the last 1000 years, which attempts to take a truly global perspective on world history. The Maya, Inca and Mali Empire all have several pages devoted to them, while the Hundred Years' War is not mentioned at all, the Thirty Years' War is given a couple of paragraphs, and the Treaty of Versailles is briefly mentioned in the chapter on the First World War. The Crusades get almost the same amount of coverage as the Maya and the Inca, but considerable less that the Mali Empire. (Sumer is older than 1000 years so it falls outside the scope of the book). In summary, in order to make the list more global and less euro-centric, my suggestions are to include: The Mali Empire instead of the Hundred Years' War The Maya instead of the Thirty Years' War The Inca instead of the Treaty of Versailles, and Sumer instead of The Crusades. Looking forward to hear what others think. Martinogk (talk) 03:13, 26 May 2017 (UTC) That looks like reasonable and well motivated changes. Boivie (talk) 11:31, 27 May 2017 (UTC) I'm inclined to agree with these arguments, except perhaps regarding the crusades which impacted the wider region (Europe, Middle East, North Africa) and two civilizations. Maybe we could postpone including either Maya or Inca until a better alternative to replace is found. — Yerpo Eh? 07:47, 30 May 2017 (UTC) Yes, that sounds like a better approach, to instead remove something from a different category. With only 45 entries, the history section is surprisingly short compared to some of the other sections. To make room for both the Maya Civilization and the Inca, I suggest that we instead remove Esperanto, a constructed European language with 2000 native speakers and a couple of million fluent speakers overall. While Esperanto has some interest as the most successful constructed language, there are hundreds of languages around the world that are more commonly spoken, including Quiché, a modern Maya language with 2.3 million native speakers. Martinogk (talk) 03:03, 31 May 2017 (UTC) Am I right to understand this comment was the only piece of "discussion" on deleting Esperanto from the list? Amikeco (talk) 21:07, 18 March 2018 (UTC) It seems to me that you are right, Amikeco. So the method was, one person, Martinogk, suggested to take out Esperanto, waited 18 days, no one else commented - and then Martinogk deleted Esperanto. I am sorry, this is not what I consider to be appropriate. Esperanto has a very special role in the world. It's not amazing that Esperanto is offered on a lot of language learning sites. A search of "Esperanto" via Google gets at least 100 million results. Just to count the number of speakers is not enough to understand the special role of this language. We should consider e. g. that China publishes daily news in Esperanto, along with only nine other languages. Esperanto has a world wide role and there are not a lot of languages that are learnt in so many countries. Martinogk argued that e. g. Hundred Years' War is also part of Medieval Europe. OK. But with the deletion of Esperanto the whole subject and the idea of an international language, much quicker to learn than other languages, is omitted. --Lu Wunsch-Rolshoven (talk) 13:20, 19 March 2018 (UTC) Even if the method was not perfect, I could hardly argue against removing Esperanto. Its role as a universal language has been completely overshadowed by English, so its actual impact is probably on par with the number of speakers. The idea behind it may be noble, but that's not enough in my view. At least presently; I might be persuaded to change my opinion if the autor's wishes come closer to realization in the next few decades, but for now, I support the removal. — Yerpo Eh? 17:31, 19 March 2018 (UTC) You didn't touch the subject of the uniqueness of Esperanto, Yerpo. The fact that English is the most learned and used foreign language is nothing new in principle in human history - there were international languages like Latin or French before English. The unique thing with Esperanto is that one man put together the basis of Esperanto. Then people learned Esperanto and are still learning Esperanto and an international language community of a new kind was created and is expanding more and more. This community developed its own culture with books and songs etc., being a supranational community. This is something quite different from English. There is no real alternative between English and Esperanto (as many people seem to believe) - Esperanto has a very distinct approach, it's rather a complement. This special aspect of Esperanto was one main reason to include it in this wikipedia list. The other relevant aspect certainly was the fact that Esperanto can be learned in about a fourth of the time needed for English and similar languages. This also is a unique aspect of the language Esperanto and one more reason why Esperanto should be included again. (And thanks that you agree about the method of deletion.) --Lu Wunsch-Rolshoven (talk) 07:56, 20 March 2018 (UTC) We should also consider that a lot of linguists and others constantly misinform about Esperanto. That's why a well documented article about Esperanto is necessary in every wikipedia. --Lu Wunsch-Rolshoven (talk) 08:37, 20 March 2018 (UTC) Uniqueness is certainly a criterion to consider, but is not sufficient for inclusion, in my opinion. Existence of misinformation, on the other hand, is definitely not relevant here - see also WP:RIGHTGREATWRONGS. — Yerpo Eh? 18:35, 20 March 2018 (UTC) Probably we should think twice before deleting a unique subject; this obviously didn't take place. - Existence of misinformation is relevant, because a lot of people have ideas about Esperanto which are obviously false. Just reading the wikipedia article about Esperanto will help them to understand their errors. I do not speak about facts without sources, so RIGHTGREATWRONGS is not relevant here. But I would like to know, if those speaking against Esperanto already read the WP:Esperanto article. Did they? - Up to now there are only two people here who speak for the deletion of the Esperanto article from the list. Not a lot, it seems to me. --Lu Wunsch-Rolshoven (talk) 16:38, 21 March 2018 (UTC) I fully support Lu Wunsch-Rohlshoven's proposal to undo the deletion of Esperanto from the list. The reason given when deleting it was short-sighted: The number of speakers is not what is relevant, but the attention it gets in scholarly and popular discourse. Esperanto gets much much more attention than languages of comparable size of speakers due to its special role as by far the most successful planned language ever. Marcos (talk) 18:28, 21 March 2018 (UTC) As there isn't any further comment for quite some time, I hope, it will be ok to revert the change which deleted Esperanto. If someone wants to include Mayan Civilization (this is quite ok for me), he or she should find another topic to delete. Esperanto as a worldwide language should not be deleted, certainly not while speaking of a "Global Perspective"; Esperanto should stay in the list. Yerpo already commented, that the method (of deleting Esperanto) "was not perfect"... --Lu Wunsch-Rolshoven (talk) 06:26, 7 April 2018 (UTC) Seeing that two people support and two oppose the removal, the final consensus is not clear, so restoring and then debating again would be overly bureaucratic at this point. Can't we just make another, specific discussion and then act according to its outcome? — Yerpo Eh? 17:08, 7 April 2018 (UTC) @Boivie: hope you don't mind, but I reverted your changes to the list until tomorrow. We agreed a while ago that changes wouldn't be made just before the ranking is updated, to give communities more time to write/expand new articles and prevent them from score decrease. I'll self-revert back when the ranking is updated. — Yerpo Eh? 17:43, 4 June 2017 (UTC) Religious figures and theologiansEdit In the religious figures section, 5 out of 10 personalities represent Christianity (7 if you include Abraham and Moses). Buddha is the only personality representing a non-semitic, non-monotheistic religion. I propose to remove Paul the Apostle, Augustine of Hippo and Thomas Aquinas in favor of Mahavira, Nagarjuna and Zoroaster.--Edler von Udinium 20:27, 6 July 2017 (UTC) I don't look at Augustine and Thomas as representing Christianity but Medieval philosophy - I would rather remove Abraham, Moses and Paul. Also Mahavira/Zoroaster would be rather redundant with Jainism/Zoroastrism. --Nk (talk) 19:32, 8 July 2017 (UTC) I'd keep Abraham and Moses, but I wouldn't object to replacing Paul or Augustine with Nagarjuna. A. Mahoney (talk) 13:10, 12 July 2017 (UTC) Thank you Edler von Udinium for noting the lack of personalities from non-semitic religions. With a total of ten entries, it could make sense to include 2-4 from each of the four major world religions. I agree that Nagarjuna should definitely be added, as the key person of Mahayana, the most widely followed branch of Buddhism. Would also be nice to add some important Hindu religious figures such as Ramanuja. I agree that we can remove Paul, as well as either Abraham, Moses or Augustine. Martinogk (talk) 16:07, 27 June 2018 (UTC) Abraham and Moses are pretty crucial (why the name 'Abrahamic' for all these religions is from Abraham), Augustine and Aquinas not so for as many religions as Abraham and Moses are Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 12:27, 17 July 2018 (UTC) Items should be selected and sorted into several lists regardless of sitelinksEdit D1gggg (talk) 19:26, 25 October 2017 (UTC) Split the listEdit I split the list as in it.wiki. I hope this is not a problem. --Geoide (talk) 11:40, 5 November 2017 (UTC) Suggest adding outer space and removing spaceflightEdit outer space is an important topic which is not included here, so I suggest removing spaceflight to free the quota for that. --Jason6698 (talk) 04:35, 19 November 2017 (UTC) Though they are both vital, as the list can contain just 1,000 articles, and spaceflight means "ballistic flight into or through outer space", a small Wikipedia should have and then maintain outer space first.--RekishiEJ (talk) 06:02, 22 December 2017 (UTC) As no people oppose this suggestion, if no further comments are raised by the following week, I will make the change by myself.--Jason6698 (talk) 08:33, 28 January 2018 (UTC) I think outer space is a bit redundant to Universe. Many Wikipedias just describe outer space astronomical objects/structures in the article about the latter (96 vs. 151 interwikis). Spaceflight, on the other hand, is important as a technological topic, which this list lacks. So I'd prefer to keep spaceflight here. — Yerpo Eh? 06:42, 21 February 2018 (UTC) I agree; "outer space" can also be discussed in an article on the solar system, so I'd keep space flight in the 1000-page list. Both, of course, can be in the 10,000 page list. A. Mahoney (talk) 15:25, 23 February 2018 (UTC) Agree with Yerpo and A. Mahoney that with the Solar System and the Universe, we do not also need to include Outer Space. Martinogk (talk) 00:29, 15 June 2018 (UTC) Replace biological classification by taxonomyEdit Now that in the English Wikipedia the former was merged into the latter, and the list asks that each Wikipedia should contain every article in the list, the former should be replaced with the latter here since English Wikipedia is the largest one, and a smaller Wikipedia does not have to have the article on biological classification as the English Wikipedia used to, but should have taxonomy instead. The list should contain zoology and genetics as well, since it is absurd that the list contains botany but not these two articles. RNA, Gene and heredity should be included as well. We can add these four articles without exceeding the 1,000 quota by removing five people, for instance, Marilyn Monroe need not to be kept, as the English Wikipedia page on vital articles (Lv3) does not contain her.--RekishiEJ (talk) 18:03, 21 December 2017 (UTC) added and changed a word 18:23, 21 December 2017 (UTC) Week oppose for replacing biological classification, as it has far more languages (107) then taxonomy (54). In principle, I argee that the quota of biography can be reduced. Howerver, further discussion is needed to find out who should be removed.--Jason6698 (talk) 08:41, 28 January 2018 (UTC) remove FlamencoEdit I don't see why it should be in this list. --Gnom (talk) Let's make Wikipedia green! 13:41, 24 February 2018 (UTC) What would you propose instead? A. Mahoney (talk) 18:32, 28 February 2018 (UTC) Well, maybe with "pop music", which surprisingly isn't in the list yet. --Gnom (talk) Let's make Wikipedia green! 21:33, 4 March 2018 (UTC) @Gnom:,@Amahoney: Agree that Flamenco can be removed. If we want to replace it with another music genre/dance, salsa is much more widely spread across the globe, making the list less euro-centric. Martinogk (talk) 00:20, 15 June 2018 (UTC) @Gnom:, @Amahoney:, @Amahoney: Folk music would be a more general replacement. --Nk (talk) 19:35, 2 November 2018 (UTC) Lemon (and Soybean): Fruit vs TaxonEdit Currently Lemon is listed under foodstuffs/fruit as the species/taxon Citrus ×limon (Q500) (instance of: taxon). While I was trying to have this reflected in Wikidata, @Succu: (d:) was disputing my edits [1]. If I understand his very brief remarks correctly, he is convinced that this list should rather reference the fruit lemon (Q1093742) (class: hesperidium and citrus fruit), but seems not to bother to do anything about it, so let me play proxy here for his request: @Succu: asks to replace Lemon(-tree) (Q500) with Lemon(-fruit) (Q1093742). See also [2] The same issue also applies to Glycine max (Q11006) (listed here as a taxon under foodstuffs/fruit as Soybean), but I couldn't find a separate article or wd-item for its fruit/bean. Following his request, we would consequently replace the plants with the fruits (lemon for now) and end up with no english (or simple) articles for it. I find this problematic due to the nature of this list, but it is certainly possible. E.g. in german we can live with those holes as we include see-also-notes with them [3]. But whoever wants to track adoption of this list automatically will have to deal with it (already). Citrus ×limon (Q500) has far more sitelinks than lemon (Q1093742) 138 vs 25. The taxon-item has sitelinks to simple and german talking about fruit and taxon, englisch says it's about the fruit, but actually also is about both. The fruit-item has no sitelinks to english, no german, no chinese... As a general rule, we could keep Wikidata-Items for taxons on this list as long as there are no separare Wikidata-Items for their fruits. Thus soybean would be replaced as well, once we find the fuit item. My intend here is to seek clarification and as a German could also live without a sitelink to english, especially as lemon only appears there in the expanded list (level 4, 10.000 articles). --Aeroid (talk) 12:49, 4 March 2018 (UTC) I'd like to participate in this discussion. My edition was reverted when I changed Citrus ×limon (Q500) for lemon (Q1093742) and I'm going to explain why I think it might be in that way. Firstly, let's take a look to this list. In Foodstuffs, part 7 is about fruits (fruit (Q1364)), defined here in wikidata as a "part of a flowering plant" but I prefer the more complete definition in the english wikipedia: "a fruit is the seed-bearing structure in flowering plants". Taking in account these definitions, it seems to be clear that the fruit is not the whole plant or tree. Now, let's take a look to the fruits mentioned in this part 7 and their definitions in the linked pages in wikidata: apple (Q89) "fruit of the apple tree", banana (Q503) "fruit", grape (Q10978) "the fruit, use Q191019 for the genus, use Q30046 for the species", Glycine max (Q11006) "species of plant", Citrus ×limon (Q500) "nothospecies of plant (for lemon use Q1093742)" and nut (Q11009) "edible seed (with or without the rest of the fruit)". We can see that 4 out of 6 linked pages in wikidata talk about fruit (it could be doubtful "nut", but an extended definition of fruit is "any plant product useful to man, including grain, vegetables, etc" or "any edible part of a plant", but never the whole plant). As a conclusion, in my opinion, there are two mistakes concerning to "soybean" (in this list, it might be only the grain of the plant) and "lemon" (clearly concerning to lemon (Q1093742)). I think that Citrus ×limon (Q500) has far more sitelinks than lemon (Q1093742) is not a strong reason to maintain Citrus ×limon (Q500) because a repeated mistake (in my modest opinion, of course) doesn't make it true. Most of the languages that sounds, more or less, familiar to me, make the difference between the fruit and the fruit tree: lemon and lemon tree (english), limón and limonero (spanish), citron and citronnier (french), zitrone and zitronenbaum (german), limao and limoeiro (portuguese), limón and limoeiro (galician), llimona and llimoner (catalan), limone and (albero di) limone (italian); but only two (french and galician) have a page for everyone. The other have only one page for the lemon tree or two pages, being one a redirection to the other. On the contrary, for example, grape (Q10978) and Vitis vinifera polfex (Q30046) have their own page on everyone of the mentioned wikis. Why all of these wikis have different pages for "grape" and "grape vine" but not for "lemon" and "lemon tree"? That seems not to be so coherent. Yours, --Xosé Antonio (talk) 01:30, 16 July 2018 (UTC) Hi, I think that if apple, banana, grape, and nut point to the articles of the fruits, lemon has to point to its article too. In other hand, I think that soybean can't be considered a fruit, and I suggest change it for pineapple. Bye, --Elisardojm (talk) 12:28, 16 July 2018 (UTC) Add PovertyEdit Add Poverty (social issues), remove Auto racing. (Really? Auto racing???) Guido den Broeder (talk) 22:44, 4 March 2018 (UTC) Support poverty is a human socioeconomic condition issue since the beginning of the civilizations and a core theme. Auto racing... well... --Zerabat (discusión) 18:48, 21 March 2018 (UTC) Support Poverty has been linked with biodiversity and ecosystem issues - biodiversity is also an article that is missing. Shyamal (talk) 04:23, 22 March 2018 (UTC) Done Guido den Broeder (talk) 22:37, 10 April 2018 (UTC) Good change. Thank you. Martinogk (talk) 00:23, 15 June 2018 (UTC) Add HUNGARYEdit I suggest either adding the Hungarian language (because of its unique position of being a major non-Indo-European language in Europe, just as important as most other European languages and more important than most non-European languages) or the country Hungary (a regional superpower which contributed a lot to European culture and history over more than a millennium, probably more important than countries like Afghanistan, Congo, New Zealand, Sudan, Venezuela etc). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 185.79.93.4 (talk) These assertions don't convince me, so I suggest we keep the balance and not remove non-European topics to accommodate Hungary or Hungarian. — Yerpo Eh? 11:06, 25 June 2018 (UTC) I do not think we should add more languages to the 18 that are already listed, but if we do, I would add Korean, Javanese, Vietnamese or Thai, all with over 50 million native speakers, rather than Hungarian, with 13 million. Martinogk (talk) 18:11, 25 June 2018 (UTC) Giza pyramidsEdit At the moment the list shows "Giza Necropolis", which is listed under wikidata Giza pyramid complex (Q13217298). This looks like a mixup because it is not about the pyramids but about the surrounding cemeteries. Surely the whole Giza Pyramid complex is meant, of which the cemeteries ("necropolis") are not the main interest. So I propose to link to Giza Pyramids (Q12508) . Kipala (talk) 14:35, 26 June 2018 (UTC) Yes, I agree. I think it will upset a lot of people who organized their wikipedia a bit differently but the German Wikipedia shows after you expand both articles. One is about graves and the other buildings. --MarsRover 16:24, 26 June 2018 (UTC) I guess if people organized different then with a look at this list and the connected ranking. But i do not see any reason to keep articles about the bunch of graves around Giza among the 1000 most important topics every wikipedias should have. The argument is for the pyramids; and also the German article de:Nekropole von Gizeh which is now connected to this entry has no place among the 1000 top, the de:Pyramiden von Gizeh however is, even though not connected here. So what can be done to correct this? Kipala (talk) 06:49, 3 July 2018 (UTC) Unless someone disagrees I think you can switch it. There are a lot of articles that have even more challenging issues (e.g. Is "blindness" or "sight impairment"? Is this "nose" or "human nose"? Is it "biological classification" or "taxonomy"?). Probably there isn't a perfect solution but I think in this case graves vs buildings is easy to explain. --MarsRover 17:52, 9 July 2018 (UTC) I agree, both about Giza and about the larger problem. In Latin Wikipedia we spend a lot of time chasing our tails as the specific Wikidata items on lists like this one keep flopping around; neither English, nor German, nor any other of the big WPs seems to have an ideal organization for everything!

Mahoney (talk) 12:55, 12 July 2018 (UTC) Michael JacksonEdit Why Michael Jackson not listed here?.He has wikipedia in 231 languages (Only trailing Ronald Reagan).I dont know what is the criteria to be listed here but i think Jackson should be listed here. Akhiljaxxn (talk) 00:30, 10 July 2018 (UTC) This was already discussed, even more than once, I think. Please check archives. — Yerpo Eh? 09:35, 13 July 2018 (UTC) I think he is safely more notable than Louis Armstrong. 201.27.100.86 15:14, 6 July 2019 (UTC) International organizationsEdit Just stumbled about 'International organizations'. The major organizations like EU, AU, ASEAN, .. are there, but UNASUR is missing. IMO it is much more important an representing many more inhabitants than Commonwealth of Independent States (a more or less Russian organization). --Murma174 (talk) 11:47, 10 August 2018 (UTC) Agree that Commonwealth of Independent States could potentially be removed. Founded in 2008,UNASUR is a young and fledgling organization, with Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Paraguay and Peru having recently suspended their membership. I would rather add the Organization of American States, which is older, larger, more active and more important. Martinogk (talk) 19:47, 10 August 2018 (UTC) Yes, I'd agree to Organization of American States, as America is not represented in this chapter. --Murma174 (talk) 12:26, 11 August 2018 (UTC) replace Flamenco with EsperantoEdit As I read the discussion. I can see that people are being annoyed that Esperanto get removed from the list. So I propose bringing Esperanto back and putting Flamenco away. Worra Mait Kosit (talk) 20:28, 16 August 2018 (UTC) As a regional Andalusian dance not widely practiced outside of Spain, I agree that we can remove flamenco, even though I think it is an absolutely fabulous dance. With only three entries ("dance", "samba" and "flamenco"), dance is underrepresented on the list though, considering its world wide practice and popularity. I think we should replace flamenco with either salsa, belly dance, bharatanatyam or tango, all of which are more popular and more widely practiced than flamenco. What do others think? Martinogk (talk) 22:23, 21 August 2018 (UTC) In spite of I'm Spanish, I'm not specially interested in Flamenco, but I'm not agree with the assert that is not widely practiced outside of Spain. In some far countries from Spain, like Japan and many latin american countries, included United States, there is a crescent interest in flamenco with people learning it and opening locals where flamenco is danced. Also, UNESCO has recognized that Flamenco is a form of popular artistic expression representing a long-standing tradition that appears on the UNESCO's list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. --Xosé Antonio (talk) 20:35, 25 September 2018 (UTC) Agree w/ Xosé Antonio's reasoning, even though I, too, do not follow this particular art form. Acwilson9 Acwilson9 (talk) 01:35, 9 January 2019 (UTC) I am not sure how much UNESCO's classification matters here. I agree with replacing it with a more popular dance like the ones suggested. 201.27.100.86 15:17, 6 July 2019 (UTC) Claude Monet has 110 articles — more than Mimar Sinan, although he his listed as compulsory. In the pageviews the gap is much bigger: 9471 to 798. The former should replace the latter. And yet 5 artists is too much for a single century (the 15th or 18th have no one). Propositum (talk) 19:07, 3 September 2018 (UTC) 21st Century ScientistsEdit The list of great scientists and inventors is missing Stephen Hawking who is number 23 on Wikipedia:Multiyear ranking of most viewed pages. I suggest deleting the 19th century British physicist James Prescott Joule to make way. More generally, I think the list skews towards ancient scientists at the expense of modern ones.T0mpr1c3 (talk) 12:07, 4 October 2018 (UTC) I agree Hawking is missing, however Joule needs to be kept as well - his contributions to physics were so significant, that the Joule energy measuring unit is named after him - ever heard of the kiloJoule instead of the older calories? That's from him. Best regards. AntekVeganova (talk) 01:53, 14 November 2018 (UTC) 20th Century revolutionariesEdit Che Guevara attracts attention, but Fidel Castro is surely a more important historical figure. For similar reasons I prefer Trotsky over Rosa Luxemburg.T0mpr1c3 (talk) 12:26, 4 October 2018 (UTC) I hope this is not a list of personal preferences? I agree we should keep both Fidel and Che - Fidel for the historical importance (Bay of Pigs, Cuba crisis etc) and Che, well... for the Wiki-popularity. Furthermore I politely ask to keep both Rosa Lux as well as Trotsky, on behalf of the Eastern Europe states who were affected by these figures directly. Rosa was a Polish revolutionary woman, fighting for the rights of the working class, and unfortunately she got brutally murdered and thrown in the river in Berlin by a German socialist militant dictator. While Trotsky was quite a murderous git himself, he used to be Stalin's henchman (much like Lenin) and led the "Trotsky slaughterers" - a squad effing opponents until Trotsky himself fell out of Soso's favour and had to flee. Leonid wasn't exactly as warm and endearing as the Hollywood Frida-Hayek movie portrays him as. Both were significant historical figures and miss Rosa is a special source of pride for the Polish people. Best regards. AntekVeganova (talk) 01:49, 14 November 2018 (UTC) On the list of political leaders, it is important to not only have heads of state, but also important popular movement figures such as Che Guevara and Rosa Luxemburg. The only other three on the list are Martin Luther King, Joan of Arc and Mohandas Gandhi. Martinogk (talk) 01:16, 15 March 2019 (UTC) About "Military"Edit There are two concepts here that are dealt with in different ways by different language versions of Wikipedia: "Armed forces" and "Military". Some versions have separate articles for these concepts, while others have a single article that spans both. While there may be certain nuances of meaning between these two terms in certain languages, in many other languages they may not be substantial enough to merit separate articles. It makes no sense to "force" Wikipedias that have an article under item Q772547 to create a second, likely redundant, article under item Q8473 to be able to complete the List of articles every Wikipedia should have. I therefore suggest replacing "Military" with some related concept that avoids such problems, e.g. Army.--Leptictidium (talk) 11:20, 9 January 2019 (UTC) I agree with replacing "Military" with "Army". The purpose of this list shouldn't be force a standard structure across various languages. If something is commonly expressed multiple ways we should just avoid those topics and select a more specific subset of the topic. I think not doing that is just wasting people's time creating shadow topics or having someone delete their work as duplicative. --MarsRover 20:23, 11 January 2019 (UTC) +1. --Nk (talk) 14:51, 25 March 2019 (UTC) Global Perspective: GeographyEdit It is nice to see how this list is becoming more and more global in nature, which is both natural and important for a global project like Wikipedia, but we are not quite there yet. CitiesEdit The list of cities is truly global in perspective, which is very nice and impressive to see. I would suggest a few minor tweaks though: Replace Bogota with Colombia Replace Nairobi with Kenya While both Bogota and Nairobi are natural members of a list of the most important cities in the world, I think it is more important to include their respective countries, which are among the largest and most important on their continents. The only truly global city that is missing from the list is Canton/Guangzhou, which is not only one of the biggest cities of the world with over 20 million people in its metropolitan area, but also the cultural and historical center of southern China, with several hundred million people. To make room for Canton, I would remove Vatican City. Both Rome and the Catholic Church are on the list, which is good, and I do not think we need the Vatican City as well. As a very minor item, one could also consider moving the city-state of Singapore from the list of countries to the list of cities. While the city and the country are the same, as a city Singapore is of truly global importance, but as a country it is rather small and less important than for example neighboring Malaysia. CountriesEdit To make the list of countries more global in nature, I would add The Phillippines, with over 100 million people it is the largest country not currently on the list Colombia, with 49 million people, one of the major countries in South America Kenya, with 47 million people, one of the major countries in Africa Syria, with 18 million people, and historically a very important country. Morocco, with 34 million people, a culturally and historically important country in both Africa and in the Arab world Yemen, with 27 million people, also historically very important Guatemala, with 16 million people, which is both historically and currently the most important country in Central America. What seven items do we then remove? In addition to (i) Bogota and (ii) Nairobi, mentioned above, I suggest removing (iii) Austria with 9 million, (iv) Switzerland with 8 million and (v) New Zealand with 5 million people. Regarding Austria, I rather keep Vienna on the list, for its historical and cultural importance. With two more to go, it is hard to find other candidate countries to remove. Instead, I suggest removing (vi) the North Sea. There are other Seas that are equally or more important, such as the East China Sea, the South China Sea, the en:Sea of Japan, the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Mexico, but I find it more desirable to include more countries than more seas. It is also questionable if we need to have (vii) Ocean on the list since we already have Sea. It is linguistically a little tricky though, as these have slightly different meaning in English (Sea can mean either part of an ocean or the collection of all oceans), while most languages have a word that are commonly used for all three concepts, such as mar in Spanish, hav in Norweigian, and Meer in German, even though some also use an ocean equivalent word as a less used specialty term. IslandsEdit While the list includes the longest rivers, the tallest mountain, the biggest lakes, all the oceans and the most extensive dessert, the biggest island is missing. I suggest adding Greenland, while removing the Arctic ocean. Looking forward to learn what others think. Martinogk (talk) 02:44, 15 March 2019 (UTC) CommentsEdit I have looked through the archives since 2010, and there has been proposals to add/remove some of the entries listed above: Add Guangzhou, 2016, by Propositum, with no comments either in favor or opposed Remove Bogota, 2011, by BokicaK, no comments Remove Bogota, 2010, by Igrek, no comments Remove Bogota, 2010, by RekishiEJ, no comments Add Philippines, 2012, by Liliana, no comments Add Phillipines, 2011, by Nk, with Igrek in favor Add Phillipines, 2011, by Liliana, with MarsRover opposed arguing that New Zealand is more significant Add Philippines, 2011, by Quintucket with Nk in favor Add Colombia, 2011, by Santista1982, with Prince Kassad in favor Add Colombia, 2011, by Santista1982, with Prince Kassad and Igrek in favor and MarsRover arguing that we already have Bogota. Add Colombia, 2011, by Quintucket, no comments Add Colombia, 2010, by Santista1982, with Igrek, MarsRover and Boivie in favor, Yerpo not opposed, but no consensus on what to remove Add Kenya, 2011, by Quintucket, with Liliana in favor Add Kenya, 2010, by MarsRover, no comments Add Morocco, 2011, by Quintucket, no comments Remove Vatican City, 2013, by Liliana, with PiRSquared17 in favor and Barcelona stating "perhaps" Remove Vatican City, 2012, by Liliana, no comments Remove Vatican City, 2012, by Andreykor, with Barcelona in favor and Helt opposed Remove Vatican City, 2011, by Prince Kassad, no comments Remove Vatican City, 2011, by Nk, no comments Remove Vatican City, 2011, by Liliana, with MarsRover and Guido den Broeder in favor and Almafeta opposed Remove New Zealand, 2011, by Nk, with Igrek in favor Remove New Zealand, 2011, by Liliana, with Guido den Broeder in favor, Almafeta opposed and MarsRover arguing that New Zealand is more "significant" than Phillipines Keep New Zealand, 2011, by Quintucket, no comments Remove Austria, 2011, by Nk, with Igrek in favor Remove Austria, 2011, by Reder, with Liliana, Nk and Barcelona in favor Remove Switzerland, 2011, by Nk, with Prince Kassad opposed Keep Switzerland, 2011, by Quintucket with Liliana in favor Add Greenland, 2011, by Nk, with Prince Kassad opposed Remove Ocean, 2012, by Wikijens, with inconclusive discussion on whether to remove Sea or Ocean Remove North Sea, 2010, by Igrek, with Prince Kassad and Macdonald-Ross opposed I hope these archival discussion can help us today. Based on the historical comments, I think there must have been some Divine intervention that has kept "Vatican City" on the list. Martinogk (talk) 02:25, 25 March 2019 (UTC) Most of the proposals are reasonable (I'm not 100% convinced about some of the newly proposed countries). I would consider replacing Ocean/Sea with en:World Ocean - anyway most of the content of the 2 articles is about the general concept. --Nk (talk) 14:53, 25 March 2019 (UTC) In general I agree with the suggested changes, but with some nuances: In the list of countries, Myanmar, Malaysia and Peru should also be included. Peru is more important than Guatemala, both in size and history. As a Central American country, Cuba is included, which is smaller than Guatemala although I do not know if it is of more interest. As there is limited space to include countries, I would choose one or the other. In cities I would remove Washington DC. The only relevant reason to include that city is that it is the capital of United States, but is it enough? If being the capital of an important country is enough to be included in the list, then Brasília should also be included, which is larger. Honestly, I do not think that reason is enough, and neither by size nor importance do I see reasons to maintain it. I see no reason to change Singapore from "countries" to "cities" only because as a country it is small. In general it is considered a country (even if it is a city-state), which also has a special relevance in Asia. I would keep it as such. I see no reason to include Greenland. Although we include it as an island, the Wikipedias will treat it as a country. I see no reason to eliminate Ocean. Although sea and ocean may be similar, I believe that all languages ​​have a different term for both concepts, so in all languages ​​there is therefore a difference in the concept. If there was a language in which it was not, we could study the case, but otherwise I see no reason to eliminate any. Therefore, of the 7 countries that you propose, I would remove Guatemala and I would include the 3 that I have indicated, with which we would have 9 countries to add. In addition to the indicated cities and countries for remove, I would also remove Washington DC, so we have 6 spaces. In seas I would add article Seven Seas (very poor article in English for a very important historical denomination) and remove the seas from that list (Black Sea, Caspian Sea and Mediterranean Sea) and also the North Sea. In this way we have 3 more spaces, with a total of 9 spaces for the indicated countries. The doubt could be with the Mediterranean Sea, which is an important sea, but I think it would be covered by the article of Seven Seas. --Tximitx (talk) 22:59, 25 March 2019 (UTC) Mediterranean Sea is one of the most important civilizational area (Roman Empire, Carthage, Greece, Egypt...), an economic center (from Antiquity to nowadays) and a major geopolitical issue (Suez channel, maritime roads, border between North and South countries, border between several big religions, US/NATO/Russian presence...). AMHO, its presence is then expected in the list and I disagree with its removal. --Nicolas Eynaud (talk) 11:53, 13 April 2019 (UTC) I agree with Nicholas about the Mediterranean. Seven Seas, on the other hand, is a vague and historically shifting concept, much overlapping with World Ocean, so not very relevant. — Yerpo Eh? 07:13, 14 April 2019 (UTC) Comments 2Edit Comments about the different proposals : Support Replace Bogota with Colombia : I think it's a good idea. Even if Bogoto is a major city, Colombia is one of the most important regional in South America and, to me, the country is more important than its capital. Support Replace Nairobi with Kenya : for the same reasons (Kenya is one of the regional power in East Africa). Oppose Remove Austria but {{support} Remove Viena : AMHO, Austria is the heir Austria-Hungary which was a major power in Europe during centuries and an important cultural center. AMHO, keeping Austria will allow to remove Viena (which is the center of Austrian culture) and to justify easily the absence of Austria-Hungary. Oppose Remove Swiss : Swiss is of course not a very populated area but the country has an important politic and economic influence. Support Remove Vatican City : AMHO, the proposal is right : Vatican is included in Catholic Church. Support Remove New Zealand : AMHO, the country is not a regional power in Oceania (it's Australia) and its cultural and economic influence is limited. Support Include Song Dynasty which is missing despite its importance in Chinese History. Support Include Yemen and Syria as there are historical region. Support Remove Black Sea, Caspian Sea and North Sea : there are important geopolitical and economic theatres but we can consider others elements (as major countries) are more important. Support Then include Phillippines (a demographic and regional power), Morocco (a regional power with an important cultural and historical influences) and Peru (major cultural importance in South America). Oppose Remove Arctic Ocean as it is one of the major ocean and an important region (future crude oil production area ? geopolitical issue between USA and Russia...). To me, Greeland seems to be included in Arctic Ocean (at least in the current list). Oppose Remove Mediterranean Sea (as explained). Oppose Include Seven Seas in the list : the concept was important during Middle Ages but, AMHO, it is just now an historical curiosity. Its presence in the list is then not expected. --Nicolas Eynaud (talk) 07:49, 15 April 2019 (UTC) Comment Austria is not the heir Austria-Hungary. This empire was dissolved in several states, Austria being one of them, but not the heir. That it is preferred to keep Austria instead of Vienna is something else (which I do not share), but not because he was the heir Austria-Hungary, since it is not. --Tximitx (talk) 10:41, 15 April 2019 (UTC) VaccineEdit I am surprised to see that this list does not include the vaccine as one of the most important articles, that it should even be in bold. The vaccine is considered the most important invention of modern medicine and the medicine that has saved the most lives. Instead, I propose to withdraw the "headache", which seems to me a minor element to include it in the list of the most important. As for the articles in bold, I think the "vaccine" is important enough to include it in this way, eliminating the "virus" from the list in bold. --Tximitx (talk) 12:57, 21 March 2019 (UTC) Thank you Tximitx for this important suggestion. I agree that "vaccine" should be added, and that it can be bolded instead of "virus". What to remove is a little bit more of a headache. Considering the importance of medicine/health, the section is rather short. Can we remove something from a different section? How about "Machine gun", "Erwin Schrödinger", "Le Corbusier", "Michael Faraday", "Commonwealth of Independent States" or "Lipid"? Other suggestions? Martinogk (talk) 22:25, 21 March 2019 (UTC) I have no objection to deleting an article from another section. Of those proposed, "Commonwealth of Independent States" I don't consider it as relevant enough. There are even more important political and commercial blocs that aren't on the list. --Tximitx (talk) 22:56, 21 March 2019 (UTC) I fully agree on the importance of this topic. But, as usual, a dilemma can't be avoided - should we include vaccine (Q134808) or vaccination (Q192995) as a broader topic? — Yerpo Eh? 08:10, 22 March 2019 (UTC) Although "vaccination" is important, from the encyclopedic point of view, what is important is the vaccine. Without it, vaccination would not exist. Therefore, I maintain that "vaccine" should be included as the relevant article. --Tximitx (talk) 12:00, 22 March 2019 (UTC) Good question Yerpo. I agree with Tximitx that "Vaccine" is the better choice. It also fits with other entries, as we have "Food" instead of "Eating", "Agriculture" instead of "Farming", "Bicycle" instead of "Cycling", "Milk" instead of "Milking", "Song" instead of "Singing", "Antibiotic" instead of "???", etc. Martinogk (talk) 19:41, 22 March 2019 (UTC) I'm a novice here and I don't know how to proceed with the change of the articles in the list. Do I have to make the change? Is someone responsible? Are they done every so often and we have to wait? I appreciate the clarifications. --Tximitx (talk) 17:03, 24 March 2019 (UTC) Anyone can do it. I would wait a week to give others more opportunity to comment. As for timing, there is a wish not to change the list just before the ranking is updated. Martinogk (talk) 23:53, 24 March 2019 (UTC) All right. I will wait until the ranking is updated to make the change. --Tximitx (talk) 13:10, 25 March 2019 (UTC) LiteratureEdit Hello, without bothering anyone, I wonder if the literature section has ever been discussed. The added articles are good, but I think it would be more enriching if there were representation of other cultures, because most of the added works are Asian. What do you think?. --Rodelar (talk) 15:33, 23 March 2019 (UTC) Good observation Rodelar. All eight works of literature are from Asia, including the Iliad. Except for Dream of the Red Chamber, all of them are also ancient literature, while Roman literature as well as modern literature from the last 800 years are covered under the authors in the biography section. I think there are two issues: It is hard to make room for both the authors and their major work. Is it then better to include Dante or Devine Comedy? Tolstoy or War and Peace? Shikibu or Tale of Genji? Cervantes or Don Quixote? Shakespeare or Hamlet? Cao Xueqin or Dream of the Red Chamber? Virgil or Aeneid? García Márquez or One hundred years of solitude? etc... Should we replace some of the authors with their books or vice versa? For a more global perspective on ancient literature, what could be added? Kebra Nagast? Beowulf? Popul Vuh? the Icelandic Sagas? Martinogk (talk) 20:32, 23 March 2019 (UTC) Martinogk, about the observations indicated, I think we have to differentiate each case. For example, Cervantes is a writer recognized especially for his work Don Quixote, but as a writer he is not a relevant writer, since he does not have other works that are especially relevant. I am spanish, and I can affirm that there are many spanish writers and other spanish-speaking countries that are much more important. But, of course, there is no doubt that his work Don Quixote is the most important work of literature in spanish and one of the most important and recognized in the world. In this case, the work surpasses the author, so I think it is more relevant to include his work in the list instead of the author. As shown, the article in es.wiki of Don Quixote is twice the size of Cervantes. Different is the case of, for example, Shakespeare or Jules Verne, whose set of works are practically classics of universal literature. In this case I think it's better to include the authors. After these explanations, about the indicated authors I would make the following changes: I would keep the authors Tolstoy, Shakespeare, Virgil and García Márquez, because I think they stand out more for their complete work than for a specific title. I would include the works Don Quixote, Devine Comedy, Tale of Genji and Dream of the Red Chamber, replacing their authors, because they are works of universal literature that stand out over their authors (in my opinion). In authors I would include Jules Verne, which I consider an important reference. In substitution, can eliminate the article of "machine gun", which I think is not a particularly remarkable invention. On ancient literature, some titles: Beowulf, the Icelandic Sagas, Cantar de Mio Cid, Nibelungenlied or The Travels of Marco Polo. The importance of the works or what articles to eliminate, I leave it at the discretion of others. --Tximitx (talk) 18:33, 24 March 2019 (UTC) Tximitx: Thank you for your very thoughtful comments. I like your thinking about author/work. Martinogk (talk) 23:53, 24 March 2019 (UTC) I agree with Tximitx in including Don Quixote, Devine Comedy, Tale of Genji and Dream of the Red Chamber as works in lieu of authors. Also, the inclusion of Jules Verne instead of machine gun. Among the ancient literature, I find significant the Icelandic Sagas, Popul Vuh and The Travels of Marco Polo. --Rodelar (talk) 23:57, 24 March 2019 (UTC) About Marco Polo, I hadn't realized that he was already included as an explorer. In this case, I don't know if it is better to include the person or the book. I don't find necessary is to include both. --Tximitx (talk) 21:04, 25 March 2019 (UTC) Agree with Tximitx to include Don Quixote and Devine Comedy instead of their authors, as is already the case for Tale of Genji and Dream of the Red Chamber. Thanks for pointing out that Marco Polo is already on the list, which I find sufficient and more natural to include than The Travels of Marco Polo. For ancient literature, I agree with Rodelar's selection of Popul Vuh and the Icelandic Sagas, the latter being more extensive and culturally reflective than Beowulf or Nibelungenlied, the other ancient Germanic literature mentioned. What can we remove to make room for these two? The only instance of having both a literary work and its author on the list is the Iliad and Homer, and I suggest we keep the former and remove the latter as it is not certain that Homer existed and who actually wrote the Iliad. Two other potential options for removal are phoneme and syllable. Martinogk (talk) 12:10, 26 March 2019 (UTC) I agree with Martinogk in everything expressed. Also in keep Iliad and remove Homer. Between phoneme and syllable, the phoneme is important, since it is the representation of the sound that the words would have. However, the syllable is the division of the word according to the phonemes. Therefore, it would keep phoneme and remove syllable. By the way, Homer is in bold, and I don't think that Iliad should be (yes Don Quixote and Divine Comedy by Cervantes and Dante). What is put in bold by Homer? Maybe Novel? Another biography? Bearing in mind that several writers are removed in bold from Biography, I suggest including Gabriel García Márquez, who is considered one of the best writers in history. It may also be that my preference is influenced because my native language is Spanish. --Tximitx (talk) 12:52, 26 March 2019 (UTC) Biography sectionEdit Yerpo: You are both a long-time and a very thoughtful participant in these list discussions. What is the thinking behind having a separate biography section rather than including authors in the language and literature section, scientists in the science section, musicians in the music section, explorers in the geography section, etc? Was this a conscious decision or it just happened that way? Martinogk (talk) 12:29, 26 March 2019 (UTC) The biography section was there from the first day this list was being created. I tried spreading the biographies 10 years ago. But it was reverted two months later. I can't find anything on the talk page about why it was reverted. Boivie (talk) 10:00, 27 March 2019 (UTC) The best answer I have is also something along the line of "that's how it's always been done". Sorry. — Yerpo Eh? 20:11, 29 March 2019 (UTC) Maybe we should make another try to split out the biography section, if the current users of this page think it's a good idea? Boivie (talk) 09:30, 3 April 2019 (UTC) I don't consider it a good idea. I don't think mixing biographies with other articles is better than the current way. --Tximitx (talk) 12:14, 5 April 2019 (UTC) ElephantEdit The item elephant presents problems in some languages, specifically in those that, like Spanish, use exclusively the scientific classification of species to create articles. In this case elephant refers to a group of species that doesn't have a scientific classification as a group (they are several different species). The family they belong to (Elephantidae) also includes mammoths, but there is no scientific group for elephants alone. I don't doubt the importance of the elephants, but the selected items shouldn't impose a structure in the languages on the articles to be included. In this case I suggest as an alternative to include marine mammal, which are more important than elephants. Within this item would be whales, dolphins and porpoises, which would be keep. --Tximitx (talk) 13:15, 26 March 2019 (UTC) +1. --Maqivi (talk) 19:00, 26 March 2019 (UTC) We made a dubious change from Whale to Cetacea a while back because there wasn't a Swedish word for whale. IMHO, a core article's purpose is to link to other articles and a biological classification doesn't really do that. For example, the "Whale" concept links to "Whaling", "Save the Whales", "Moby Dick", "Jonah and the Whale". I think this change is a similar situation. Would you link "Elephantidae" to what Hannibal rode through the Alps. So, don't really agree on this. But you do have precedence on your side so am neutral on this. --MarsRover 04:02, 5 April 2019 (UTC) I agree in part with your opinion, but I'm not proposing to change "Elephant" to "Elephantidae". I'm proposing remove "Elephant" and add "marine mammals", which is also important and allows link other items. The reason is that the scientific classification doesn't consider the elephants as a specie, and we cann't force a wiki to use another classification. That's why I ask for a change from one item to another, which I don't think means a relevant change. --Tximitx (talk) 12:29, 5 April 2019 (UTC) I agree with Tximitx, for this list having a therm confussing is not the best. MarsRover, no, I would not link Elephantidae to what Hannibal rode through the Alps, but Loxodonta (African elephant), that is a specie, and elephant is not. Millars (talk) 22:55, 9 April 2019 (UTC) And now we have both Marine mammal and Cetacea wich creates quite important overlap. Isn't it better to replace Cetacea with a different group, for example bat (Q28425)? --Nk (talk) 18:25, 8 May 2019 (UTC) Continents and WaterEdit I observe that in continents North America and South America appear as two continents instead of Americas as a single continent, but this meaning is only used in English and a few related languages ​​such as German. However, for most languages, Americas is a single continent, and the North/South division is political, and not geographical. In fact, the normal thing in almost all languages ​​is to use North/Central/South America as a political division of a single continent, not including Central America as part of North America. It is enough to see the articles linked in Wikidata to North America to realize that there is no uniform criterion and in most cases they don't refer to the subcontinent. Some only include United States and Canada; others add to Mexico, and only a few add Central America. International organizations such as UN, IOC, etc., also recognize Americas as a single continent, this being the most globally accepted meaning. I don't find a reason to maintain the sense of the english language that is a minority and that in most languages ​​is a political concept and not a geographical. I propose to eliminate items from North and South America as continents and to include only Americas as a single continent, since this is the most universally accepted meaning. In the free space, I realize that there is not an element as important as Water, essential for life. I propose to include it also with bold. I don't know in which section to include it, since as a chemical element it is not an important element, but it is in other scientific disciplines. I think the best place to include it is in Science, within Nature. --Tximitx (talk) 16:38, 10 April 2019 (UTC) Note: water is not a chemical element, but a compound. It is in the list under Beverages. This is indeed slightly odd, so I would support moving it from Beverages to Chemistry (under chemical compound). — Yerpo Eh? 09:42, 15 April 2019 (UTC) I hadn't seen that Water is under Beverages. However, I don't consider that under Chemistry is the most suitable place (although better than under Beverages). The reason is that although water is a chemical compound, within chemistry is a compound of little importance and with few applications. Much more important is in Biology, Nature, or Earth Science. AMHO I think the most appropriate place would be to move it to Science, under Nature. In the case of the continents, if the items North and South America are eliminated for the Americas, there would be a free space with bold. As I have indicated before, I see no reason to keep both items as separate continents, since it is a concept that, except in the English language, is a minority. Any suggestions to add? --Tximitx (talk) 10:30, 15 April 2019 (UTC) "within chemistry is a compound of little importance and with few applications" - that's a joke, right? Because it's definitely far from truth. Its only logical place is under compounds. — Yerpo Eh? 10:40, 15 April 2019 (UTC) I cannot say anything about most languages, but both in Russian (distantly related to English) and Hebrew (not related whatsoever) North and South Americas are considered separate entities defined as continents. Moreover, they are different not only politically but first and foremost geomorphologically, with Isthmus of Panama forming relatively recently. --Deinocheirus (talk) 15:28, 16 April 2019 (UTC) Replace Anime with Video GameEdit Hello, first-time contributor to any Wikipedia talk page at all here. When reading this list, "anime" stuck out to me as an entrant. We already have "animation". There should be sufficient information on anime within the animation article, right? It seems just a little too specific for this list. Checking the archives shows a bit more talk about anime's worthiness, too. I suggest replacing it with "video game"(Q7889), a topic that by contrast seems too broad for its containing article, "game". There's incredible variation within video games, and, unlike most other kinds of game, the video game is often considered an emerging art medium. I think these qualities distinguish video games enough from games as a whole to warrant their separate place on the list. Granted, they're somewhat Western, but then again so is anime. Thanks, I'd love to hear your thoughts. --Megaskizzen (talk) 03:35, 17 June 2019 (UTC) Although I haven't read the English Wikipedia articles on animation, anime, game and video game yet, Megaskizzen's argument makes sense since for a very small Wikipedia Wikipedians should create an article on video game before one on anime (although anime is quite influential on the world currently).--RekishiEJ (talk) 14:42, 4 July 2019 (UTC) I agree with this proposal. Not sure if my opinion counts, since I am an unregistered user, but it is very reasonable. Anime is much closer to animation than video game is to toy. 177.68.136.138 14:17, 6 July 2019 (UTC) Seems to be a well-supported proposal then. Should I make the change? --Megaskizzen (talk) 12:56, 16 July 2019 (UTC) Edit made. My apologies if I've approved the proposal too soon. --Megaskizzen (talk) 04:00, 20 July 2019 (UTC) Change Science and Nature to be top-priority entriesEdit It is puzzling to me why Science and Nature, which are root-level articles under Science section (Science is even included in Vital articles/Level/1), are not included as one of the top-priority entries. I suggest just to add these two, but if it is required to remove two entries from top priority, I would name (1) Photosynthesis, (2) Mineral, though both are difficult choices.--ネイ (talk) 13:07, 3 July 2019 (UTC) Agreed that science and nature should be top-priority entries, since for very small Wikipedias science and nature should be created before botany or species. However, photosynthesis can be removed from top priority since IMO it should not be deliberately created before suicide.--RekishiEJ (talk) 14:18, 4 July 2019 (UTC) Done Changed Science and Nature to be top-priority and removed Photosynthesis from top-priority.--ネイ (talk) 17:32, 11 July 2019 (UTC) The entire topic of crimes and lawsEdit Someone mentioned adding rape before, but I now see that there are no crimes or criminal activities at all; no murder, no rape, no theft (or the concept of property, for that matter), not even the concept of crime itself, or the related religious concept of sin. In fact, the section on Law is quite bare bones, having only law and constitution. I have no proposition on how to change this, but since this is a talk page I figured I would talk about it. Maybe such ideas could perhaps be more important than having so many specific rivers/languages/countries/leaders? 177.68.136.138 13:32, 6 July 2019 (UTC) Replace pages for specific African Great Lakes with African Great Lakes, and moreEdit I propose we remove both pages for specific African Great Lakes, add an African Great Lakes page, and use the extra slot for some other proposed page, such as property or crime or video game. I would suggest property (video game can replace anime, as seen above). This would maintain the lakes in some capacity, be more comprehensive (since that page would cover more than two lakes), and be in keeping with the procedure adopted for the North American Great Lakes. It would also free up a slot for an important concept such as property, or someone else's proposal. 177.68.136.138 14:45, 6 July 2019 (UTC) Alphabetically order all listsEdit This is currently done inconsistently. I think it should be done consistently unless there is a more obvious rationale, such as: Chronological order, for historical events Distance from the Sun, for planets 201.27.100.86 15:22, 6 July 2019 (UTC) I brought up a similar topic on the extended list, that we should make these lists conform to the English Wikipedia's Manual of Style for lists. That would require ordering the list, which I think should be done anyway, but the manual also mentions that numbered lists should only be used for a reason. I don't know of any reason to refer to the list items by number, so I think we should convert to bulleted lists as well as order the lists. --Megaskizzen (talk) 12:53, 17 July 2019 (UTC) Change Algebra to be top-priority entry and remove Moses from top-priority entryEdit I would like to propose (1) Change Algebra to be top-priority entry, and (2) Remove Moses from top-priority entry. These can be treated as separate proposals. Algebra - it is odd that Geometry is a top-priority while Algebra is not. These two entires appear to have similar level of importance. Moses - it is a bit unbalanced under "Religious figures and theologians" where there is one top-priority entry for buddhism, one for islam but two for christianity. Choosing between Jesus and Moses, it should be quite obvious that Jesus is of higher priority. --ネイ (talk) 17:53, 11 July 2019 (UTC)Fixed typo--ネイ (talk) 18:22, 12 July 2019 (UTC) I believe Moses is left high-priority for Judaism, not Christianity. --Megaskizzen (talk) 12:51, 16 July 2019 (UTC) Made the change for Algebra given there are no objections at all; for Moses, I am treating Megaskizzen's comments as an alternative opinion and taking down the proposal.--ネイ (talk) 02:03, 22 July 2019 (UTC) Crime instead AbortionEdit Include Crime instead Abortion.--SEA99 (talk) 05:30, 29 October 2019 (UTC) Oppose Crime is a legal matter and abortion a social right. Not the same category. --Toku (talk) 18:39, 4 November 2019 (UTC) I mean crime as social issue.--SEA99 (talk) 07:10, 8 December 2019 (UTC) There are 22 topics about Crime in extended list, but no one here.--SEA99 (talk) 06:44, 18 December 2019 (UTC) Russian Empire instead ApartheidEdit Include Russian Empire instead Apartheid.--SEA99 (talk) 06:20, 29 October 2019 (UTC) Oppose Russian Empire can be included in Russia --Toku (talk) 18:40, 4 November 2019 (UTC) British and Ottoman empires also can be included...--SEA99 (talk) 06:47, 18 December 2019 (UTC) Empire of Japan instead Meiji RestorationEdit Include Empire of Japan instead Meiji Restoration.--SEA99 (talk) 06:20, 29 October 2019 (UTC) Oppose Empire of Japan can be included in Japon. --Toku (talk) 18:41, 4 November 2019 (UTC) Mark this page for translation.Edit Many Wikipedia already have a translated version of this list, why don't we just take advantage of the translation builtin to meta, instead of relying on volunteers to manually update each wiki? Add some basic terms from psychologyEdit I would add some of the terms like: Personality, Motivation, Attention, Mood, Temperament. I think that at least the first two are more important than Love and Mind.

Micromax is confident of dethroning market leader Samsung Electronics in the lucrative smartphone segment in the next one year, by when it expects to lead the tablets segment as well, chief executive officer Vineet Taneja said. How is Micromax poised to tackle increasing competition? We're a product of competition. We tend to be proactive and even if we miss something, we react very fast. Your market share is under threat from not just Chinese players, but from Intex as well. Are you worried? You have always got to be worried in this category, if not then sooner or later, you're dead. But we're not complacent. Would it matter to you if in this quarter (Q3) you slip to No.3 from No. 2, behind Intex? People who advertise their numbers have a problem...it means that their numbers require to be advertised...and currently, it's not true. Shipment data comes every month. July, August numbers have come in, so we know. We are ahead in smartphones by a huge mile. Overall as well. Shipment data is murky because there's a lot coming now through the SKD (semi-knocked down) route. How much of it is in the pipeline or lying in your factories, we don't know. Today, we produce 1.5 million devices locally on a monthly basis, most of it is SKD, but it does not get reported as import data. Do you think shipment data reports can be manipulated? Import data is not 100% accurate, that's why you find so much variation between reports. You can never rely on one report. I don't think so (that they can be manipulated). Where will your main target growth segment be? Bulk of our focus is sub-Rs 10,000. We're a mass product and we have no qualms about it. That's also the segment which is growing the fastest, irrespective of technologies. Maximum growth of 4G will come from Rs 6,000-10,000 segment. How do you balance between online and offline? We're well-balanced. Two elements of online - one sold directly by companies to consumers and two, offline merchants who sell through online. Between the two, our estimate is the online market is 25-30% in smartphones. Our contribution is about 15-20%. Why are Micromax and some other Indian vendors late to launch 4G phones compared to Chinese rivals? The service has to be there for 4G devices to sell. Our product lifecycles are much shorter - 3-6 months rather than 9-10 months like some global competitors.

Project Manager Sarah Fox met up with Sue Mayo to talk about her work for Magic Me and how she incorporates digital technology. It has taken Sue Mayo and me three attempts at meeting up but we finally managed it a few weeks ago, convening at our designated M&S spot at London Victoria. Between teaching at Goldsmiths and running intergenerational projects, Sue had kindly agreed to tell me about the work she undertakes for Magic Me, and in particular how they use digital technology within the process. We talked about Where the Heart Is, a project that worked with women aged between 15-80 exploring stories of love: "love of friends, partners, of community, of ideas, of causes". The women met on a weekly basis to share their anecdotes and these were recorded as a series of podcasts and videos. Audience members were then invited to explore the local neighbourhood, guided by the podcasts and films that had been created by the group. They were then invited to meet the participants over tea and cake to tell their own stories. To create the podcasts and films, Where the Heart Is worked with a professional filmmaker and sound artist who attended and participated in as many of the workshops as possible, including those where film and sound were not the focus, to ensure they saw the bigger picture. I am particularly interested in the issue of representation and how we ensure that individuals or groups we collaborate with are not misrepresented. Always being aware of our own agendas (whether it might be with our own artistic practice in mind, or what our funders are looking for), we are responsible for telling the right story the right way and the process to do this must be reciprocal, open and genuine. By bringing everybody on board at the very beginning of Where the Heart Is helped the practitioners to build relationships with the participants and develop an understanding of who they are, and what they want from the process (and I imagine, vice versa). The participants also watched the films during the early stages of the editing process and were able to decide what would stay in the final pieces. This contribution helped to develop an honest representation of participants and that they felt the person a viewer saw on the screen or heard on the podcast, was a fair depiction of them. Although the participants were able to use digital film cameras during the process, Sue was clear early on that it would be the material edited by the filmmaker and sound artist that would be used in the final piece because ultimately they have the expertise. This is a question of how far you want participants to get involved in the technology and the use of it to create the final piece. The aim of Where the Heart Is was not necessarily to up skill participants in making films and sound recordings, but to use the art forms as a way of telling the story to the highest quality it could be. Often participants are happy to leave the artistic vision and technical work to the experts because they know that is what they are trained to do, and participants want the work to be of a high standard as much as the practitioners. And Sue was quick to point out that often with participatory work the encounters need to be worked on; the meeting of intergenerational groups in projects such as these need time and effort to develop a sense of trust and connectedness. It is much better to focus on this in the beginning than on the technology which can be a source of disruption and a (physical) barrier to real and meaningful relationships being forged. Interestingly, it was a much simpler form of technology – the post-it note – that provided the best way to structure the performance. Writing up the conversations that had been heard (and conversations that the group wanted to hear again) on individual sticky notes, the group could move around the order, find linearity, group stories into themes, and disregard those that wouldn't work until an agreed structure was reached. Sue believes that lists are too static to do this. Maybe digital technology can help here too? I imagine a future where workshops look like scenes from Minority Report: images and text on multi-touch interfaces in the air being moved around, sorted, and deleted. Or perhaps everyone merely looks at their iPads or mobile phones? Be ready to change course. For a more detailed overview of Where the Heart Is, you can read my last blog here and if you'd like to hear the podcasts or see the lovely map the group created, they are still available on the Magic Me website.

High School Sports Roundup Rob Maeske The Chronicle-Express Marcus Whitman 7, Pal-Mac 6 Whitman took a close win over Pal-Mac in overtime for the Wildcats' third-straight win. The game was a tight back and forth. Whitman scored two goals to Pal-Mac's one in the 1st quarter, a situation that reversed itself in the 2nd, tying up the game at half. The scoring in the second half echoed the first, with Whitman finally able to secure the win with an OT score. For Whitman, Connor Tomion and Aidan Royston each had two goals. Robert Craine made 10 saves, playing the entire 56 minutes in goal for Whitman. Whitman was 9-1 after the latest win. Penn Yan 14, Aquinas 2 Penn Yan defeated Aquinas, extending their undefeated season to nine games. Despite a 6-0 score for Penn Yan in the 1st period, the Little Irish offered the Mustangs a bit more of a challenge than their last three 19-0 blowouts. However, as the game went on and Penn Yan continued to do what they do, the Aquinas players' early fire died down as Penn Yan's goals began to stack. Aquinas managed to hit the net twice in the 2nd quarter, breaking PYs streak of 20+ quarters without giving up a goal. The first half ended with an intense back and forth battle in front of the Aquinas net, with the Little Irish able to prevent the Mustangs from hitting double digits just yet. Aquinas was scoreless in the second half, while PY tacked another five points on the board, sealing the deal on yet another Mustang victory. Top players for PY included season goal leader (43) Ayden Mowry with six this time around and season assist leader (37) Devon Gerhardt with two goals and five assists. Griffin Emerson made five saves for the Mustangs. Aquinas' goals came from Joey Sciortino and Angelo Palumbo. Penn Yan 17, Livonia 5 The Mustangs were dominant against Livonia, taking their sixth win of the season. A 7-3 difference in the first half only got worse for Livonia in the second, where they were outscored 10-2. Grace Ledgerwood found the net seven times for the Mustangs, also adding two assists. Hayley Anderson had three goals and four assists for PY and Avery Castner scored three. Hannah Parsons made 15 saves for Penn Yan, while opponent goalie Kennedy Neckers managed to get 13 saves while giving up all 17 points. Marcus Whitman 11, Mynderse-Romulus 10 The Lady Wildcats moved up to 4-4 after a narrow win against Mynderse-Romulus on Friday. The score remained close throughout the game, with five goals by each team heading into halftime. The second half saw another five goals a piece, with Whitman adding a sixth to take the win. For the Wildcats, Katrina Marten had five goals and 2 assists and Olivia Herod had four goals and two assists. Penn Yan 19, Gananda 3 Penn Yan is known for lacrosse and watching either the boys' or the girls' team will show you why. The Lady Mustangs put a hurting on Gananda, bringing them up to 7-2 this season. Gananda managed only a single score against PY's onslaught of 12 in the first half. While Gananda was able to double their efforts in the second half, scoring two this time, Penn Yan would have none of it, getting seven goals of their own and putting another game in the win column. For Penn Yan Hayley Anderson had four goals and an assist, while Grace Ledgerwood and Corinne Barden each had three. Hannah Parsons made five saves in the net. Newark-Midlakes 13, Marcus Whitman 7 The Wildcats lost to Newark-Midlakes on Monday, dropping their record to 4-5. The game was competitive in the first half, with Newark-Midlakes scoring seven goals to Whitman's six, but the second half saw Whitman outpaced 6-1. Kathryn Verdine was the top scorer for Newark-Midlakes with five goals and an assist. For Whitman, Olivia Herod had three goals and Katrina Marten added a goal and three assists. Red Jacket 7, Dundee/Bradford 6 The BraveScots lost a close one to Red Jacket. After the loss, Dundee/Bradford was 1-4. Naples 9, Marcus Whitman 1 Whitman managed a single run to Naples' nine, marking six in a row in the loss column for the Wildcats. Mynderse 6, Penn Yan 2 Penn Yan lost at home to Mynderse Academy, bringing their record to 3-5. Honeoye 8, Dundee/Bradford 7 The second close loss in a row put Dundee/Bradford at 1-5 for the season. Jake Jansinski had a walk-off double, earning Honeoye (6-3) their second-straight victory. Dundee/Bradford briefly took the lead, but were unable to secure the win at the end. Charlie Farrell went 2-4 with two RBIs and Logan Thomas received credit for the win on the mound. For Dundee/Bradford, Max Bailey went 4-5 and Shane DeChamp went 3-5. HAC 12, Marcus Whitman 7 At FLCC, the Wildcats lost to HAC (4-2), stretching their so-far winless season to seven straight losses. For HAC, Jack Wheeler had 11 strikeouts through six innings, while Spencer Dworkin struck out two batters in the 7th inning to help secure the win and stifle Marcus Whitman's late-game rally. Marcus Whitman was led by Jon Lloyd who had two RBI doubles, while his teammate Carson Miller added a double, an RBI and a run scored. It was the second time HAC beat the Wildcats after winning 12-2 in the season-opener. Pal-Mac 11, Penn Yan 4 On the road against the undefeated Pal-Mac, a third straight loss put the Mustangs at 3-6 for the season. Paul Goodness finished 3-5 with a double, an RBI and two runs scored to lead Pal-Mac. Alex Wootton drove in four runs. Dan Hooper was 2-4 with two runs scored and an RBI.

For Whitman, Noah Hildreth went 2-3 with three RBIs. HAC 6, Dundee/Bradford 2 Dundee/Bradford lost to the HAC Wolves (5-2) on Saturday afternoon, May 22. The Wolves gained an early 5-0 lead to help earn the win. HAC starting pitcher Salvatore Timpani threw for 6 1/3 innings, giving one run and three hits. Timpani had 12 strikeouts on the day. Timpani also had a two RBI single in the first inning, leading the Wolves to a 3-0 lead. Shane DeCamp led the way for Dundee/Bradford going 2-4 at bat with a run scored. Teammate Tyler Stiles added an RBI triple and had a solid performance pitching over the last three innings of the game. Dundee/Bradford 9, South Seneca/Romulus 1 The BraveScots finally pulled off a win, a big one at that, at home against South Seneca/Romulus, snapping a four-game losing streak. The win is Dundee/Bradford's second of the season, bumping their record to 2-7. After eight innings, Honeoye beat the Wildcats for the second time in four days, adding a ninth loss to Whitman's season. Wayne 13, Penn Yan 6 After a few days off, Penn Yan was defeated at Wayne (7-4), knocking them to 3-7 after their fourth-straight loss. Penn Yan's Reed Bouchard doubled twice and drove in three runs for the Mustangs. Will Steele went 3-4 with a double, a run scored and an RBI. Tyler Bouchard doubled home a pair of runs and also scored once. Clark Simmons singled, walked and scored once. Mason MacKerchar had a hit and a run scored. Marcus Whitman 18, South Seneca/Romulus 8 The Wildcats finally pulled off a win, snapping a nine-game losing streak. Whitman is now 1-9 with four games left in the season. A narrow loss to Mynderse at home saw Penn Yan drop to 2-4 for the season. Penn Yan 22, Pal-Mac 7 The Mustangs trounced Pal-Mac, raising their record to 3-4. Midlakes 6, Penn Yan 2 A loss to the Eagles brought Penn Yan to 3-5 this season. Dundee/Bradford 7, South Seneca 2 Dundee/Bradford was victorious over South Seneca, earning their sixth win in a row and bringing their record to impressive 9-1. In the first inning, Dundee/Bradford got their offense started when Mikayla Schoffner doubled, getting an RBI with the hit. Cambri Harrian pitched the BraveScots to victory. The pitcher allowed four hits and two runs over seven innings, striking out seven and walking one. Dundee/Bradford racked up eight hits. Kailey Yeoman, Harrian and Addie Kendall each collected multiple hits for the BraveScots. Kendall, Harrian and Yeoman each collected two hits to lead Dundee-Bradford BraveScots Varsity Softball. Dundee-Bradford stole six bases during the game as two players stole more than one. Cheyenne Cummings led the way with two. The Whitman girls suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Honeoye (9-2). After six games, the Wildcats were still winless this season. South Seneca 28, Marcus Whitman 5 Whitman fell to South Seneca in the Wildcats' second lopsided loss in as many days. The loss extends Whitman's losing streak to seven, with the Wildcats having failed to secure a single win so far this season.

Today I was up bright and early for one special reason; today is Holy Thursday. On this day we, the followers of the Christian Orthodox Church (not all), traditionally, get up at the crack of dawn and begin to dye our first red eggs. The very first egg that comes out of the dye is said to be the "Holy Egg"; this egg is believed to be the guard of the house, and that egg sits in its own single-egg cup until the next year's Holy Thursday. Interestingly enough, the Holy Egg does not rot. It sits there for one entire year and nothing happens to it. Every year, as soon as I replace the egg, I crack the old one to see if it has gone bad, and it never has. Isn't that amazing? That's food for thought. So as soon as I was done with the red batch, I began to work on the more colorful ones! I wanted to share with you a Dying Easter Eggs technique that is super easy and super-duper fun! I did this with my little one this morning, she's only one and a half years old, and it was one of the best times we have had together while working in the kitchen. In the middle of a single napkin drop one drop of each food color (your choice of colors) in one spot. Put the egg in the middle of that spot, roll it up in the napkin, rub it, then unroll it, and with your index finger placed underneath the colored spot on the napkin, start dabbing the colors around the egg – you will soon see a colorful, tie dye egg. Once it's dry, put a dab of vegetable oil on a single napkin and just lightly brush it around the egg – this will give the egg a beautiful shine. Interesting tradition with the red egg…I would be afraid to check after a year 🙂 They all look beautiful! The eggs look so beautiful…very interesting about the first red egg though! Such beautiful Holy Thursday red eggs! I can't wait to try the tie-dyed trick too. We don't have any little bitties in our house yet but that doesn't mean we don't make a big deal out of coloring eggs 🙂 Thanks for sharing, and have a lovely Easter! Our special egg each year was dyed with onions and just turned brown. It seemed so cool then when all you could find in stores was the white eggs. Now it would pass for any in my fridge. That's quite an awesome shade of red you got! I love this tradition of dying red eggs…they are absolutely gorgeous!!! I've never done this technique before, but it produces such colorful eggs! Sounds like you guys had a really fun time too! There's a reason why those Holy Eggs never go bad, it's because they're blessed and they get their own egg throne! This looks like a fun activity you both enjoyed, thanks for sharing the technique. Your photos are gorgeous! Great story and lovely tradition. Although I'm Catholic, I'm used to celebrating Easter the Christian Orthodox way, so I was up dying eggs as well 🙂 Unfortunately, all of my colors were intense except for the red one — my first egg turned out rather pink. Oh well. Hopefully that won't affect the 1-yr period I have to keep it. Where do you keep yours? On a bookshelf, or in the fridge, or? We did the same thing this morning 😉 the red eggs done, the Holy Egg in it's place 🙂 I'm also so amazed that the Holy Egg always stays as is after a year! Great story, I remember the tradition well! Nicely done ! I love coloring eggs 🙂 I've never heard of the red egg tradition before…very interesting! This is such a great idea! I love how the multi-colored eggs came out! Now as for your red egg… it never goes bad!? That's so weird yet very cool at the same time! That's really pretty Kate. And it's magical that an egg can last for a year and not rot. Wow I made some today and posting tomorrow. Your are so elegant and absolutely a work of art… I love these.. next time I am making them like this… I did the crackle style oh well you'll see, I just love these! I've heard that about eggs not going bad!! I was always too afraid to give it a try though to find out. I think I'll take your word for it! Love the ease of your egg dying, Liv will love this! I was not going to do eggs this year, but this simply looks too easy ( and fun!) to resist. I just dyed eggs with my kiddos tonight. So much fun! 😉 Happy Easter Kate! Great post Kate. As soon as I read the part that the egg sits in its own cup for a year I knew what was coming next…you cracking that egg to investigate what the year had done to it. LOL your so funny Kate, so curious. Thanks for sharing. I am dying my Holy Thursday eggs very soon!! Happy Easter to you and yours.. Your dyed eggs look beautiful. I've tried dying eyes once or twice and they never come out quite as well, but I'm definitely going to try out your tie dye method. Thanks for sharing! Cute! I'd like to do some eggs this year. I wanna hop on the naturally dyed bandwagon. Love this dying idea. Thanks too for the "Holy Egg" tidbit…..very interesting. May try that this year with my kiddos.

Blade Repair prepares for final stages The increasing scale of wind turbine blades is likely to drive demand for safety and technical skills. GWO's Blade Repair Standard is being developed to support members' training needs now and in the future. The GWO Blade Repair Working Group will shortly be ready to create its first draft of the standard. Strategic learning objectives have been agreed and will most likely form the basis of main topics including; General Safety, Composite and Construction, Materials, Tools and Equipment, Documentation and Craftsmanship. Practical exercises and evaluations will be added to the draft to complete the lesson structure. "The main topics have now been allocated to the working group members, with individuals assigned to individual learning objectives in a collaborative framework," says Jakob Bjørn Nielsen, Senior Training Advisor at GWO. "We're looking forward to the next phase of work after we complete the learning objectives and planning. The intention is to be ready for pilot training in the first quarter of 2019 and at present we are on track thanks to the efforts of our members and the subject matter experts they have allocated to creating this training standard. Return to latest news Always use the correct version of a GWO Standard Old versions of GWO standards are available for three months, but our survey discovered 30% of training providers could be waiting up to 12 weeks to implement the new version. Old versions of BST and BTT no longer valid from 1st July Basic Safety Training (BST) version 11 and Basic Technical Training (BTT) version 4 will no longer be valid from 1st July. Use of unpublished versions by GWO training providers may be considered a non-compliance.

The New York Times Sunday Styles section profile on best-selling author Tim Ferriss provides some important lessons and reminders on how to become powerful. I have met Ferriss a couple of times at a small Bay-area business authors dinner organized by Pete Sims. He is charming and open and honest about how he has become successful. The lessons he shares apply to everyone, not just writers or professors. Bingo. Tim Ferriss is an individual of incredible determination and self-discipline — not only willing to run physical experiments on his own body, but to expend whatever effort is required to be successful. He has learned search engine optimization, is willing to blog and speak to groups tirelessly, to go anywhere and do anything to get the word about himself and his work publicized. In a world where people and companies place lots of emphasis on intelligence, we forget that intelligence is sort of table stakes for success. There are lots of smart people. The differentiating factors become energy, drive, and the persistence and resilience to take 25 rejections and never give up and to expend the enormous effort and energy that separates Tim Ferriss and other successful people from the rest. Second, as the profile and a web search makes clear, Ferriss is not everyone's cup of tea. He is tirelessly self-promoting, and research shows that self-aggrandizing behavior sometimes puts other people off. But Ferriss, like most powerful and successful people, is not overly obsessed with having everyone like him or everything he does. He has a million or so followers of his blog and he is famous. One price of fame and power is that not everyone is going to approve of everything you do. Who cares? As long as you have enough support, enough allies and supporters to be successful, don't worry about pleasing everyone. Many of us learn the need to be liked by everyone early in our lives — it's something to get over if you are going to negotiate a path to power. The third lesson may be the most important: power can create fame, but it is also the case that notoriety can create power. As the late social psychologist Robert Zajonc described decades ago, and has been shown over the years in numerous marketing studies, we prefer and choose what seems familiar. Zajonc called this the mere exposure effect, and it is potent. You can't choose what you can't remember, and you are more likely to prefer things that feel comfortable and known. The corollary to this simple principle is one that Ferriss has followed in spades: become memorable. In Ferriss's case, this includes doing outrageous things, using provocative language, making bold claims, posing without your shirt — in short, doing what's necessary to get noticed. Once again, too much sense of propriety can get in our way. If you want fame and the money and power that can follow, get out of your own way and don't overly constrain yourself by what others would do or approve of. After all, if you are going to achieve extraordinary success, you need to stand out and be exceptional. The success of Tim Ferriss might seem improbable until you recognize that he has followed, in extreme form, many of the rules for building a path to power. What separates most from pursuing this path is the hard work, resilience, and psychological (and in his case, physical) toughness required. Jeffrey Pfeffer is the Thomas D. Dee II Professor of Organizational Behavior at the Graduate School of Business, Stanford University, where he has taught since 1979. His newest book, from HarperBusiness, is Power: Why Some People Have It and Others Don't.

Rally to Keep School Safety Agents In Schools And Protect Our Children Sunday, April 11, at 2:00pm, at City Hall Park School Safety Matters! School Lives Matter! Parents and Community Leaders Stand With School Safety Agents "We will not allow politicians to jeopardize the safety of our children!" We reject and condemn the recent attacks on School Safety Agents and we will not allow politicians to jeopardize the safety of our children! School Safety Agents are mostly Black, Hispanic, and Asian, and the majority are women. To claim that these caring and hard-working people are responsible for racist policing in our schools and also responsible for the school-to-prison pipeline is a despicable lie. We are sick and tired of politicians using our children to score political points through "fake news" when seeking higher office. Reforming the criminal justice system cannot include scapegoating innocent workers. School Safety Agents protect our children every day. Ignorant attacks smearing and maligning the majority Black, Hispanic, and Asian women workforce are reprehensible. The real cause of the school-to-prison pipeline is the failure of the Department of Education to properly educate our Black, Latino and Asian children combined with the failure of the City as a whole to provide enough good employment opportunities for our young people. Yet some politicians think their paths to higher office require the destruction of livelihoods of women of color. This would be horrid enough at any time, but it is particularly despicable during a pandemic. Politicians do not speak for parents and have now chosen not to speak for workers, either. We will speak for ourselves and stand with our School Safety Agents on Sunday, April 11, at 2:00pm, at City Hall Park. "Our parents and children are welcomed every school day by our School Safety Agents' smiles. They not only ensure the safety of our teachers and students but also provide a great example for positive influence on our school communities. With the recent rise in anti-Asian violence, our families need School Safety Officers to keep our children safe! — Mazeda Uddin, Founder and CEO of South Asian Fund for Education, Scholarship and Training, Inc. "Our School Safety Agents are needed for our children. Every day, School Safety Agents tend to the safety and well-being of our children in school, not just during the school day, but before and after school as they come and go from school. We need them to protect our children — dealing with gangs and weapons before incidents, stopping fights when they occur, and more. We support our School Safety Agents for ALL our children." — Wai Wah Chin, Charter President of Chinese American Citizens Alliance of Greater New York "Our School Safety Agents are civilians. They are not police officers. School Safety Agents do not carry weapons yet they put their lives on the line every day for our children. Our communities of color have been hit the hardest by the Covid-19 pandemic. Our children have lost an entire year of school and instead of focusing on educating our children, reopening schools, and the well-being of our children, politicians are trying to completely destroy families of color. This racist attack on mothers, women of color, and immigrant women who protect our children is contemptible. We want our schools fully reopened with our School Safety Agents protecting our children." — Jacqueline Colson, NYC Parents Union "We stand with our School Safety Agents. Many in our community are School Safety Agents. They are mothers, fathers, uncles, aunts, and grandparents who protect our children every day in school. We have peace of mind dropping our children off at school because we know they are in good hands." — Shabir Gul, President, Bronx Community Council and Muslim and Immigrant Coalition for Justice "School safety cannot and should never be compromised, especially in this time of crisis. 1,677 knives were confiscated from NYC students in the 2018-2019 school year, which was 92 percent higher than in 2015. The presence of School Safety Agents, along with all the other security measurements make the parents, the teachers and students, and the entire school community feel safe and protected." — Donghui Zang, Parent, President, New York City Residents Alliance "In this time of increasing uncertainty and heightened concerns about public safety, School Safety Agents are a source of stability, comfort, and knowledge for tens of thousands of families who rely on them to keep the children safe. School Safety Agents, many of whom are moms, know how important it is to protect our children–both in and out school." — Maud Maron, Parent "Today, the biggest threat isn't an active shooter or gang-related activities. The threat is falling victim to the political rhetoric that has no true understanding of the importance of School Safety Agents. Many of our School Safety Agents have survived knife attacks but now are in jeopardy of succumbing to budget slashing. They go to work every day unarmed but can't avoid the shots taken at them by local politicians in order to appease a misguided agenda. As a parent of two sons who attend public high school here in NYC, I cannot imagine a school building without a School Safety Agent. Knowing so many agents during my time as a student and as a father of public school students, I've seen the long term positive impact these agents have had." — Leonardo Coello, Parent #StudentSafetyMatters #SchoolLivesMatter #ProtectSchoolSafety #SupportSchoolSafetyAgents #SchoolSafetyAgentRally

\section*{Introduction} \section{Introduction} The main goal of this note is to discuss some interesting questions raised by E.~Dror-Farjoun, concerning the effect of the successive application of localization and cellularization functors (see definitions in next section). We deal with Conjectures 3 and 7 of \cite[pages 62--63]{Mislin 08}, which essentially ask for any localization functor $L$ and cellularization $CW$, which are homotopy idempotent by definition, whether the composite functors $LCW$ and $CWL$ are also homotopy idempotent. Note that the functors $L$ and $CW$ are respectively coaugmented and augmented, but in general neither $LCW$ nor $CWL$ admit coaugmentation nor augmentation. In light of these considerations we use a previous description \cite[Corollary 5.8]{Flores07} of the $B{\mathbb Z} /2$-cellularization of the smallest in the family of Suzuki simple groups, $Sz(8)$, to provide counterexamples to the questions of Farjoun. The following theorem summarizes our main results, which appear in the text as Proposition \ref{CWL} and Proposition \ref{LCW}: \begin{theorem} If $CW$ represents cellularization with regard to a wedge $B{\mathbb Z} /2\vee\bigvee_{\textrm{p odd prime}} M({\mathbb Z} /p,2)$ and $L$ denotes an $n$-Postnikov section for an appropriate choice of $n$, then the functors $LCW$ and $CWL$ are not homotopy idempotent. \end{theorem} The paper is structured as follows: next section is devoted to recall some notions of (co)Localization Theory, and also to a little comprehensive introduction of the problem of the idempotency of the functors $LCW$ and $CWL$; Section 3 contains our main results and their proofs. \emph{Acknowledgments}. We warmly thank Carles Broto, Richard Foote and J\'{e}r\^{o}me Scherer for their careful reading of the paper and their valuable comments. \section{Preliminaries} Recall that given a pointed map $f:A\rightarrow B$, a space $X$ is said to be $f$-local if the following conditions hold: the induced function $\textrm{map}_*(B,X)\rightarrow \textrm{map}_*(A,X)$ is a weak equivalence; the localization associated to $f$ is a coaugmented and idempotent endofunctor $L$ of the category of spaces; and every map $X\rightarrow Y$ from a space $X$ to a $f$-local space $Y$ factors through $LX$ in an unique way, up to homotopy. Analogously, given spaces $A$ and $X$, $X$ is said $A$-cellular if it is homotopy equivalent to an iterated homotopy colimit of copies of $A$. The $A$-cellularization of $X$, denoted by $CW_A$, is defined as an augmented idempotent endofunctor of the category of spaces such that the augmentation $CW_AX\rightarrow X$ is initial among all maps $f:Y\rightarrow X$ which induce a weak equivalence $\textrm{map}_*(A,Y)\rightarrow\textrm{map}_*(A,X)$. A comprehensive introduction to these functors can be found in the first two chapters of \cite{Farjoun95}. It is quite easy to find pairs of functors $CW$ and $L$ such that $CWL$ or $LCW$ are idempotent. For example, if $L$ is a Postnikov section $P[n]$, or more generally localization with regard the constant map $A\rightarrow {*}$ for a certain space $A$ (usually called $A$-nullification), and $CW$ is the $n$-connected cover functor (respectively $CW_A$), both composites are trivial. A similar phenomenon occurs if we apply $CW_{M({\mathbb Z}/p,2)}$, where $p$ is a prime, and then take the Bousfield-Kan $q$-completion at another prime $q$. It can also happen that the composite of $L$ and $CW$ behaves like the identity functor (up to homotopy) over certain spaces, which immediately implies idempotency. An easy example is given by taking $L$ as the $R$-completion, for $R=\mathbb{Q}$ or $R={\mathbb Z} /p$, of a simply-connected space, and $CW$ as the universal cover functor; then $LCW$ is the identity over $LX$, and $CWL$ is idempotent over $X$. So the problem is to find functors $L$ and $CW$ such that their combined effect is not so drastic as to kill the entire space, nor so weak that the composition gives back the original space. As one can expect, for ``nice" spaces homological localization functors \cite{Bousfield75} combined with cellularization with regard to $p$-primary meaningful spaces (as $B{\mathbb Z} /p$ or Moore spaces for ${\mathbb Z} /p$) have a good behavior in this context, and idempotency can be expected at least when working with nilpotent spaces. The same happens for some well-known nullification functors (\cite{Bousfield94},\cite{Bousfield97}). So, when searching for counterexamples there are two different but complementary paths: to seek for exotic localizations/cellularizations, or to apply the aforementioned functors to non-nilpotent spaces. The first strategy seems rather unpromising, as precise descriptions of the effect of $L$, or even more so of $CW$, are in general not available for functors that are outside the context of $p$-primary homotopy; and even less is known of the structure of $LCWX$ or $CWLX$. If the second path is taken, one quickly realizes that two features of $L$ and $CW$ are needed: their effect on the target space $X$ should be very precisely known, and both must change $X$ in a ``moderately opposite" way, so $CWLX$ or $LCWX$ should be non-trivial but not very complicated spaces. This is the approach we take in next section, where our main results are proven. \section{Idempotency and classifying spaces} We will always consider cellularization with regard to the classifying space $B{\mathbb Z} /2$, and we will denote this functor simply by $CW$. In turn, if $M$ is the wedge of all Moore spaces $M({\mathbb Z} /q,2)$ for $q$ odd, $L$ will be nullification with regard to a wedge of $M$ with a sphere $S^{n+1}$ whose dimension will be determined in due course. To keep this exposition brief we refer the reader to \cite[16.4]{Gor80} for details on the 2-local structure of $Sz(8)$. As this group is our main object of study, we henceforth denote it simply by $G$. Before applying the functors, we need some technical remarks concerning to the primary structure of $BG$. Bousfield-Kan $q$-completion of a space $X$ (see \cite{Bousfield72} for a main reference) is denoted by $X^{\wedge}_q$. \begin{lemma} The space $BG^{\wedge}_q$ is 2-connected for $q$ odd. \label{2connected} \end{lemma} \begin{proof} As $G$ is a simple group, the $q$-completion of $BG$ is simply-connected, and according to \cite[VII.4.3]{Bousfield72}, $\pi_2BG^{\wedge}_q$ must be a finite $q$-group for every $q$. Moreover, the Schur multiplier of $G$ is isomorphic to ${\mathbb Z} /2\times{\mathbb Z} /2$, so $H_2(BG;\mathbb{F}_q)=0$ by universal coefficients. By Hurewicz's Theorem, we have $\pi_2BG^{\wedge}_q=H_2(BG^{\wedge}_q;\mathbb{F}_q)$, which is in turn isomorphic to $H_2(BG;\mathbb{F}_q)$ because $BG$ is $q$-good \cite[VII.5]{Bousfield72}. This completes the proof. \end{proof} Note that according to \cite[Theorem 6.2]{Rodriguez01}, the space $BG^{\wedge}_q$ should be $M({\mathbb Z} /q,2)$-cellular for every $q$ odd, and then it is killed by $M({\mathbb Z} /q,2)$-nullification, i.e., $\mathbf{P}_{M({\mathbb Z} /q,2)}BG^{\wedge}_q$ is contractible. Recall now from \cite{Gor80} that a Sylow 2-subgroup, $S$, of $G$ satisfies: $Z(S) = S' = \Omega_1(S) \cong ({\mathbb Z} /2)^3$ and $S/Z(S) \cong ({\mathbb Z} /2)^3$. Thus $Z(S) = Cl(S)$ is the minimal strongly closed subgroup that contains all elements of order 2 in $S$. The normalizer, $N$, of $S$ in $G$ acts transitively on the nonidentity elements of both $Z(S)$ and $S/Z(S)$. Following the notation of \cite{Flores07}, let $\Gamma = N/Z(S) \cong ({\mathbb Z} /2)^3 \rtimes {\mathbb Z} /7$. The following result describes the low-dimensional homology of $\Gamma$: \begin{lemma} The group $\Gamma$ is 2-superperfect, i.e. $H_i(\Gamma,{\mathbb Z} /2)=0$ for $i=1,2$. \label{superperfect} \end{lemma} \begin{proof} The group $\Gamma$ is 2-perfect by \cite[page 51]{Flores07}, and moreover it is not hard to check that $H_1(\Gamma;{\mathbb Z})={\mathbb Z} /7$. Using now Gasch\"{u}tz's Theorem and the Fitting Lemma \cite{Gor80}, it can also be seen that the Schur multiplier of $\Gamma$ is trivial. Then $H_2(\Gamma;{\mathbb F}_2)$ is likewise trivial by universal coefficients, and we are done. \end{proof} We can now give the precise definition of $L$. The group $\Gamma$ is 2-perfect and moreover has torsion in odd primes, so according to \cite[1.1.4]{Levi95} $B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2$ has an infinite number of nonzero homotopy groups. If $n$ is the smallest natural number such that $\pi_nB\Gamma^{\wedge}_2$ is nontrivial, then our localization $L$ will be nullification with regard to the wedge $S^{n+1}\vee M$, where $M$ is the wedge of Moore spaces defined above. Observe that according to the previous lemma and \ref{2connected}, $n>2$. We are ready to explore the behavior of $BG$ under the recursive action of the functors $L$ and $CW$. As $n>1$, it is clear that $BG$ is $L$-local, and therefore by \cite[Corollary 5.8]{Flores07}, $CWBG\simeq CWLBG$ fits in a fibre sequence: $$ CWBG \longrightarrow BG \longrightarrow B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2\times\prod_{q\neq 2} BG^{\wedge}_q $$ where the product on the right is extended to odd primes. Here the map on the right is given by the composition $$ BG\longrightarrow BG^{\wedge}_2\longrightarrow BN^{\wedge}_2 \longrightarrow B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2, $$ where the second map is an equivalence because the normalizer of $S$ controls $G$-fusion in $S$ (see details in \cite[Example 5.2]{Flores07}). Now let us describe $LCWBG$. Looping the base of the previous fibre sequencee we obtain another one, which is principal: \begin{equation} \label{looping} \Omega (B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2)\times \Omega (\prod_{q\neq 2} BG^{\wedge}_q) \longrightarrow CWBG \longrightarrow BG. \end{equation} The space $BG$ is clearly $S^{n+1}\vee M$-null, so by \cite[Proposition 3.D.3]{Farjoun95} the fibration is preserved by $L$. On the other hand, Lemma \ref{2connected} implies that $\Omega (\prod_{q\neq 2} BG^{\wedge}_q)$ is simply connected, so it is $M$-cellular by \cite[Theorem 6.2]{Rodriguez01} and its $L$-localization is contractible. Then, by definition of $L$ we have that $L\Omega (B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2)$ has the homotopy type of an Eilenberg-Mac Lane space $K(H,n-1)$, where $H=\pi_n B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2$. Thus $LCWBG(=LCWLBG)$ is homotopy equivalent to a Postnikov piece $X$ whose only nonzero homotopy groups are $\pi_1X=G$ and $\pi_{n-1}X=H$. We are now ready to give a solution (in the negative) to the first part of Problem~3 and Problem~7 in \cite[pages. 62-63]{Mislin 08}. \begin{proposition} The functor $CWL$ is not idempotent. \label{CWL} \end{proposition} \begin{proof} Consider a non-trivial map $\Sigma^{n-2} B{\mathbb Z} /2\rightarrow K(H,n-1)$, which exists because $H$ is a finite 2-group, and observe that it remains essential when composing with the covering map $K(H,n-1)\rightarrow X$ (otherwise it would lift non-trivially to the discrete space $\Omega BG\simeq G$). On the other hand, as $BG$ is aspherical and $n>2$, there are no non-trivial maps from $\Sigma^{n-2} B{\mathbb Z} /2$ to $BG$. Hence, $\textrm{map}_*(B{\mathbb Z} /2,BG)$ is not equivalent to $\textrm{map}_*(B{\mathbb Z} /2,X)$, and so $CWX\ncong CWBG$. As $X=LCWLBG$ and $BG\simeq LBG$, we are done. \end{proof} So our goal now is to check that $LCW$ is not idempotent either. To undertake this task, we will need to explicitly compute $CWX$. A theorem of Chach\'olski \cite[20.10]{Chacholski96} establishes that the $A$-cellularization of any space $Y$ is the fibre of the $\Sigma A$-nullification of the cofibre of the map $\bigvee_{[A,Y]_*}A\rightarrow Y$, where the wedge is extended to all the homotopy classes of maps $A\rightarrow Y$. In our case then we consider the cofibre sequence $$ \bigvee_{[B{\mathbb Z} /2,X]_*}B{\mathbb Z} /2\longrightarrow X\longrightarrow C, $$ and we need to describe its $\Sigma B{\mathbb Z} /2$-nullification. To accomplish this we first show that $C$ is simply connected. Because $G$ is generated by elements of order two (it is simple), by the Mayer-Vietoris sequence this amounts to checking that every element of order two in $\pi_1X=G$ is in the image of the homomorphism induced at the level of fundamental groups by a certain map $B{\mathbb Z}/ 2\rightarrow X$. So, let $f$ be such a map, and $x$ be an element of $G$ of order two which is in the image of $\pi_1f$. As the fibre sequence \ref{looping} is principal and $S^{n+1}\vee M$ is equivalent to a suspension, the fibration $K(H,n-1)\rightarrow X\rightarrow BG$ which defines $X$ is principal by \cite[Theorem 3.1]{Dwyer09}. Moreover, it is classified by the cohomology class defined by the composition $BG\rightarrow B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2\rightarrow K(H,n)$, where the second map is $(n+1)$-Postnikov section. According to the definition of $\Gamma$, the composition $B{\mathbb Z} /2\rightarrow BG\rightarrow K(H,n)$ is null-homotopic for every map $B{\mathbb Z} /2\rightarrow BG$. This implies in particular that $f$ lifts to $X$, so $C$ is simply connected. Now we can describe $C$ more precisely: As $\bigvee B{\mathbb Z} /2$ and $X$ are rationally trivial, $C$ is too by Mayer-Vietoris sequence in rational homology. Moreover, as the universal covering fibration of $X$ is principal, it is preserved by $p$-completion (\cite[II.5.2]{Bousfield72}), and hence the ``formal completions" $(\prod_p X^{\wedge}_p)_{\mathbb{Q}}$ and $(\prod_p C^{\wedge}_p)_{\mathbb{Q}}$ are also trivial. Now, Sullivan's arithmetic square \cite[VI.8.1]{Bousfield72} implies that the cofibre splits as a product $\prod C^{\wedge}_q$ over all primes $q$. Clearly $\textrm{map}_*(\Sigma B{\mathbb Z} /2,C^{\wedge}_q)$ is weakly trivial for every $q$ odd; moreover, as $\bigvee_{[B{\mathbb Z} /2,X]_*}B{\mathbb Z} /2$ is $q$-acyclic, the $q$-completion of the cofibre sequence that defines $C$ gives an equivalence $BG^{\wedge}_q\simeq C^{\wedge}_q$. Then by Chach\'olski's Theorem $CWX$ is equivalent to the homotopy fibre of $X\rightarrow \mathbf{P}_{\Sigma B{\mathbb Z} /2}(C^{\wedge}_2)\times \prod_{q\neq 2} BG^{\wedge}_q$, and we only need to describe $\mathbf{P}_{\Sigma B{\mathbb Z} /2}(C^{\wedge}_2)$ to get a complete characterization of $CWX$. \begin{proposition} The space $\mathbf{P}_{\Sigma B{\mathbb Z} /2}(C^{\wedge}_2)$ has the homotopy type of $B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2$. \end{proposition} \begin{proof} We follow the same ideas as in the proof of \cite[Proposition 5.5]{Flores07}, see also \cite[Section 3]{Flores09} for a comprehensive introduction to Zabrodsky Lemma in this context. We denote the $\Sigma B{\mathbb Z} /2$-null space $\mathbf{P}_{\Sigma B{\mathbb Z} /2}(C^{\wedge}_2)$ by $P$. We need to define maps between $P$ and $B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2$; and we start by constructing the map $P\rightarrow B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2$ by considering the diagram \begin{equation} \xymatrix{ \bigvee_{[B{\mathbb Z} /2,X]_*}B{\mathbb Z} /2 \ar[r] & X \ar[d]^p \ar[r]^i & C \ar@{-->}[dddl] \ar[r]^{(-)^{\wedge}_2} & C^{\wedge}_2 \ar@{-->}[dddll] \ar[r]^{\eta} & P \ar@{-->}[dddlll]^g \\ & BG \ar[d]_{(-)^{\wedge}_2} & & & \\ & BG^{\wedge}_2 \ar[d]_{B\pi ^{\wedge}_2} & & & \\ & B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2. & & & } \label{eq:diag1} \end{equation} Here $\eta$ denotes the coaugmentation of the $\Sigma B{\mathbb Z} /2$-nullification, and $B\pi ^{\wedge}_2$ denotes the composition of the isomorphism $BG^{\wedge}_2\simeq BN^{\wedge}_2$ with the map induced in $2$-completed classifying spaces by the projection $N\rightarrow \Gamma$. (Recall that $N$ stands for the normalizer of the Sylow 2-subgroup $S$ of $G$, which controls fusion in $S$.) Observe that the composite $B{\mathbb Z} /2\rightarrow X\rightarrow BG$ is trivial for every map $B{\mathbb Z} /2\rightarrow X$. Therefore, the composite of the vertical maps extends to $C$ (all the extensions are considered up to homotopy). As $B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2$ is $\Sigma B{\mathbb Z} /2$-null (see \cite[9.9]{Miller}) and $2$-complete the corresponding map $C\rightarrow B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2$ also extends to $C^{\wedge}_2$ and then to $P$. So we have defined $g$, one of the desired maps. Again for clarity, we summarize the information of the second part of the proof in a new diagram, which we prove to be commutative up to unpointed homotopy: \begin{equation} \xymatrix{ \bigvee_{[B{\mathbb Z} /2,X]_*}B{\mathbb Z} /2 \ar[r] & X \ar[d]^p \ar[r]^i & C \ar[r]^{(-)^{\wedge}_2} & C^{\wedge}_2 \ar[r]^{\eta} & P \\ & BG \ar@{-->}[ur]_l \ar[d]_{(-)^{\wedge}_2} & & & \\ & BG^{\wedge}_2 \ar@{-->}[uurr]_{l^{\wedge}_2} \ar[d]_{B\pi ^{\wedge}_2} & & & \\ & B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2 \ar@{-->}[uuurrr]_f . & & & } \label{eq:diag2} \end{equation} To define the second map we consider the covering fibre sequence: $$ K(H,n-1)\longrightarrow X \longrightarrow BG. $$ As $H$ is a 2-torsion finite group and $n>2$, the mapping space $\textrm{map}_*(K(H,n-1),\Omega P)$ is weakly trivial. But the composition $K(H,n-1)\rightarrow X\rightarrow C\rightarrow P$ is inessential, so Dwyer's version of the Zabrodsky Lemma (\cite[Proposition~3.5]{Dwyer96}, see also \cite[Lemma 2.3]{CCS2}) establishes the existence of an extension (up to unpointed homotopy) $$ \xymatrix{ X \ar[d] \ar[r] & C \ar[r] & P \\ BG \ar[urr]^l & & } $$ which, in particular, is null-homotopic if and only if the upper composition is. As $P$ is 2-complete, the extension $BG\rightarrow P$ factors through $BG^{\wedge}_2$, which has the homotopy type of $BN^{\wedge}_2$. Now for $Z(S) = Cl(S) < S$ as discussed just before Lemma \ref{superperfect}, there is another fibre sequence $BCl(S)\rightarrow BN\rightarrow B\Gamma$. By the definition of $\Gamma$ and $P$, the composition $$ BCl(S)\longrightarrow BN\longrightarrow BN^{\wedge}_2\simeq BG^{\wedge}_2\longrightarrow P $$ is trivial. Then as $P$ is $\Sigma B{\mathbb Z} /2$-null, Zabrodsky's Lemma again shows the existence of an extension from $BN^{\wedge}_2\rightarrow P$ to $B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2$. This is the other map we needed, and we denote it by $f$. Our task now is to establish that $f\circ g$ and $g\simeq f$ are (pointed) homotopic to the respective identities. As $P$ and $B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2$ are simply connected, it is enough to check this in the unpointed category. Let us denote by $F$ the composition of the horizontal maps in the previous diagram, and by $G$ the composition of the vertical maps. Consider first the composition $f\circ g:P\rightarrow P$. The universal property of localization guarantees that $f\circ g\simeq Id_P$ if and only if $f\circ g\circ\eta\simeq\eta$. Moreover, as $P$ is 2-complete, this is equivalent to establishing that $f\circ g\circ\eta\circ (-)^{\wedge}_2\simeq\eta\circ (-)^{\wedge}_2$. Now the Puppe sequence of the cofibration $\bigvee_{[B{\mathbb Z} /2,X]_*}B{\mathbb Z} /2 \rightarrow X$ implies that the latter is true if and only if the maps are homotopic when precomposing with $i$. By the definition of $F$, this is the same as checking that $f\circ g\circ F$ is homotopic to $F$. According to Diagram~1.1, $g\circ F\simeq G$, and then Diagram~1.2 implies $f\circ G\simeq F$. On the other hand, consider $g\circ f:B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2\rightarrow B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2$. As this space is 2-complete and $\Sigma BZ /2$-null, Zabrodsky's Lemma again applied to the fibration $BCl(S)\rightarrow BG\rightarrow B\Gamma$ implies that $g\circ f\simeq Id_{B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2}$ if and only if $g\circ f\circ B\pi^{\wedge}_2 \circ (-)^{\wedge}_2$ is homotopic to $B\pi^{\wedge}_2 \circ (-)^{\wedge}_2$. Applying the Zabrodsky Lemma again to the universal covering fibration of $X$, we obtain that the latter is equivalent to $g\circ f\circ B\pi^{\wedge}_2 \circ (-)^{\wedge}_2\circ p\simeq (-)^{\wedge}_2\circ p$, or, in other words, $g\circ f\circ G\simeq G$. By Diagram~1.2 now, $f\circ G\simeq F$, and then by Diagram~1.1, $g\circ F\simeq G$. So we are done. \end{proof} \begin{proposition} The functor $LCW$ is not homotopy idempotent. \label{LCW} \end{proposition} \begin{proof} The previous proposition gives a fibre sequence $$ CWX\longrightarrow X\longrightarrow B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2 \times \prod_{q\textrm{ }odd}BG^{\wedge}_q $$ that characterizes the cellularization of $X$. Recall at this point that $X$ is, by definition, $LCWLBG\simeq LCWBG$. We show how this space and the previous description of $CWX$ give a counterexample for the second part of Problem 7 of Farjoun in \cite{Mislin 08}. As the map $X\rightarrow B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2 \times \prod_{q\textrm{ }odd}BG^{\wedge}_q$ factors through $BG$, its composition with $K(H,n-1)\rightarrow X$ is homotopically trivial, and thus the long exact homotopy sequence of the previous fibration defines $\pi_{n-1}CWX$ as an extension $$\pi_n(B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2 \times \prod_{q\textrm{ }odd}BG^{\wedge}_q)\longrightarrow \pi_{n-1}CWX\longrightarrow H.$$ Observe that $L$ does not affect the 2-torsion subgroup of $\pi_{n-1}CWX$, which is therefore isomorphic to the 2-torsion subgroup of $\pi_{n-1}LCWX$. In particular it is \emph{not} isomorphic to the 2-torsion subgroup of $\pi_{n-1}X=H$ because $\pi_n(B\Gamma^{\wedge}_2 \times \prod_{q\textrm{ }odd}BG^{\wedge}_q)$, by definition of $n$, is nontrivial. Hence $LCWBG$ is not homotopy equivalent to $LCWX$, which is by definition $LCWLCWBG$. So $LCW$ is not homotopy idempotent either, and the argument is complete. \end{proof}

The priest was Akan. He had been born Akan, and was deeply superstitious. The idea of Odomankoma appealed to him. The idea that there was a great inventor up there was something that made sense. The idea of someone pulling their strings, was something that was more believable. And so, from his early childhood, Brother Nana Kanu had wholeheartedly devoted himself to the faith. As it so happened, Brother Kanu was the first of the skeptics to leave while the king was speaking. He felt the king was foolish for enforcing the religion on the people, and that the people would just revolt in opposition to this imposition. His move was not unnoticed. Hidden from the eyes of all, the assassin watched him leave. Brother Kanu walked down down the gravel streets of Ashanti towards is church. Almost everyone was still near the palace, and so the silence would help him think. Till lately, he had been worrying a lot about death. Now 53 years of age, he guessed he had around a couple of years left in him. The priest had been worrying about death for quite a while now. He enjoyed the luxury of life, and he didn't want to go. The priest wondered how he would go, where would he go? Was there any way to survive? After a while, in the deathly silence of the church, the priest arose from the shadows to set home. Little did he notice that he was being followed. Unnoticed by him, the assassin followed him to his inn. Hers was the room above his, and it would be time to finish the task she set forth for. The priest walked inside his room, and went to his cot. He was about to lay down, when he heard the glass window crack open. shards of glass fell inside the room. There was someone outside. The priest walked up to the window, trying not to step on the jarring glass that was all over the floor. He looked out, and saw a rope hanging. He took a few steps behind in shock. "Aargh. Damn it, I forgot about the glass" he muttered as he clutched his foot in pain. He walked up to the table, to drink a glass of water, when he noticed something in the water. It was slightly murky in texture. He sniffed at it, slightly vary. Was someone trying to poison him? He went down to the bed, suddenly very scared. He should inform someone, but who was there? Everyone was at the palace, listening to that dratted king lecture on about Satan. It was almost evening, and the last rays of light were going out, as the priest lay down to go to bed. Little did he know that death was soon to come to him. The very thing he feared was almost here, and he was going to leave. The assassin crept in, silently. She made sure not to step on the glass. She took out her dagger, and walked up to bed. She wanted to see his face, his expressions as she slit his throat. She wanted to feel his fear, she wanted to see how he met death. Much to her surprise, he was ready for her, but he wasn't ready to experience death. She sat him up against the wall, the dagger in one hand. "Is your Odomankoma going to save you now?" She mocked. "Please, please" He grovelled, begging her to release him. But she was adamant, she couldn't feel pity now. She couldn't afford to lose out now. She had to complete this task. "Say hello to the reaper from me." She said, and quietly slit his throat. His eyes went wide, as blood gushed out of the opening. She waited for the life to pass out of him, as she sat down as far away from him. She felt exhilarated, accomplished. The high priest would be pleased with her. Brother Kanu was feeling terrified, he could feel the void closing in on him. His time was up. Memories flashed through his eyes, the first time he had picked up the holy book. He remembered his mother, his father. They were all long dead now. He took in some air one last time, and closed his eyes. In that one split second, he saw the reaper. Scythe in hand, ready to take his soul. The assassin watched as he closed his eyes, the life leaving the priests body. Her task was complete. She bent across his body, and retrieved her dagger which was on the floor. She had some more work to do now. She took her dagger in one hand and walked up to the wall opposite to the cot. There was blood on the dagger, and that was what she was going to use to draw the pentacle on the wall. It wasn't in her instructions, but she felt that it would be better to do so. She scraped out a pentacle on the wall. The wall was quite soft, so it was pretty easy. Now all she had to do was fill the spaces with blood, or make them red to make the scene more gruesome. Everyone knew that Brother Kanu had been skeptical of the king, so this would send across a sure message to other skeptics out there. Do not mess with Satan. She took up a cloth, tied it around her hand and rubbed it across the dagger. Blood smeared onto the cloth, and she rubbed it against the pentacle shape on the wall. The red in it symbolized Satan. Her task was complete. She sat down, she wondered whether or not to write anything. She soon decided to do it. Thïš íŠ whÅŁ hÃÞþènŠ. Her scrawl wasn't so good, but the shew as new to this. She would have preferred to write in the ancient Satanic language, but unfortunately she didn't know it. She had a lot to learn. The assassin crept towards the window. It was time to leave, the satanists were meeting in a while, and it was her time to be there. She took of her mask, letting her face feel some fresh air. She had to go away from here before someone started suspecting things. She had to leave this inn at once. She went to her room, by the rope she had used to get in. She took her stuff, covered her face again, and left. She didn't look back. She wondered how this murder was going to be taken, but she didn't want to find. She walked out onto the street. It was time. She had defied everything her father had set on her. She was finally free, or well almost free. Her father was a slave of the king's father. Naturally, she had been forced into slavery as well. But there had been a choice, an actual choice. And he had given her away. He had sold her, his only daughter. He had sold her into slavery, so that he himself escaped it. His own daughter. All because he had to pursue his stupid faith. And today, she had killed him. Her own father, the person who had bound her. She was finally free.

Techsport, a readymade garment factory in Makali, a village in Bangalore north taluk, has been causing severe environment pollution. But the pollution control board failed to initiate any action against them. Taking serious exception to this kind of apathy, the high court lambasted officials, saying that the latter always looked at making money in every issue, and directed closure of Techsport. ( Kannada Prabha , Friday, August 15 ) Factories polluting TG Halli lake issued notices The Karnataka Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) has finally issued showcause notices to 11 factories that are polluting the Tippagondanahalli lake. This lake is a major source of drinking water to the city, apart from Cauvery. Norms do not allow any factory to be set up within 1 km radius of Tippagondanahalli lake. However with the 'co operation' of officials, they were set up without environmental clearance. These factories had managed to escape from action on earlier occasions.

Abstract RNA interference (RNAi) can potently reduce target gene expression in mammalian cells and is in wide use for loss-of-function studies. Several recent reports have demonstrated that short double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs), used to mediate RNAi, can also induce an interferon-based response resulting in changes in the expression of many interferon-responsive genes. Off-target gene silencing has also been described, bringing into question the validity of certain RNAi-based approaches for studying gene function. We have targeted the plasminogen activator inhibitor-2 (PAI-2 or SERPINB2) mRNA using lentiviral vectors for delivery of U6 promoter-driven PAI-2-targeted short hairpin RNA (shRNA) expression. PAI-2 is reported to have anti-apoptotic activity, thus reduction of endogenous expression may be expected to make cells more sensitive to programmed cell death.

Verizon: Health IT can enhance patient care, reduce costs Verizon (NYSE: VZ) has developed a 10-point list of ways health care providers can leverage IT to "improve the provision of care and enhance the patient experience and outcome" without increasing costs. "This is an unprecedented time for transition in the health care ecosystem through the use of technology. Advances in telemedicine, wireless networks, virtual care solutions, information exchanges and cloud computing are empowering health care providers to improve their business operations while giving them more time to provide quality care," Dr. Peter Tippett, chief medical officer and vice president of Verizon Connected Healthcare said in a news release. Telemedicine, the carrier emphasized, can provide remote care for an aging population and deliver service to previously unserved markets. The cost savings come from reducing preventable hospitalizations. Mobile health care takes it a step further because "health care providers now can leverage many applications to help patients better manage chronic disease, weight loss and other conditions, and medication reminders and heart rate monitors," the news release said. Properly used, health IT can also provide a regimen of preventive care through education that helps modify unhealthy behaviors, Verizon said. "For example, smart apps can help patients manage their health and well-being in real time, providing alerts to take medications, exercise or follow a recommended diet," the release said. On the financial side, Verizon said its fraud management solution allows health care providers to identify fraudulent claims before they're paid. Medicare fraud alone is estimated to cost the government $70 billion a year, the carrier said. Finally, there's the ubiquitous cloud, which, Verizon said, will play an integral role in health care. "Well-established cloud service providers can help health care businesses reduce operational costs and improve sharing of patient electronic health records" because they are "able to offer cloud-based services for the health care industry to help monitor, analyze and react to real-time patient information," Verizon concluded in the news release. - see the news release Verizon, Zipit pursue healthcare VoIP Analysys Mason: M-health could benefit – but when will we be able to trust it?

I tried adding display="block" but that doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong here? Important: In this instance I dont want to use a table element but stick with div tags. A: Is there a reason to not use tables? If you're displaying tabular data, it's best to use tables - that's what they're designed for. To answer your question, the best way is probably to assign a fixed width to each element, and set float:left. You'll need to have either a dummy element at the end that has clear:both, or you'll have to put clear:both on the first element in each row. This method is still not fool-proof, if the contents of one cell forces the div to be wider, it will not resize the whole column, only that cell. You maybe can avoid the resizing by using overflow:auto or overflow:hidden, but this won't work like regular tables at all. A: or indeed this, which is very literally using tables for tabular data: https://stackoverflow.com/badges A: Just to illustrate the remarks of the previous answers urging you to use table instead of div for tabular data: CSS Table gallery is a great way to display beautiful tables in many many different visual styles. A: Sorry, but, I'm going to tell you to use tables. Because this is tabular data. Perhaps you could tell us why you don't want to use tables? It appears to me, and I'm sure to a lot of other people, that you're confused about the "don't use tables" idea. It's not "don't use tables", it's "don't use tables to do page layout". What you're doing here is laying out tabular data, so of course it should be in a table. In case you're unclear about the idea "tabular data", I define it like this: bits of data whose meaning isn't clear from the data alone, it has to be determined by looking at a header. Say you have a train or bus timetable. It will be a huge block of times. What does any particular time mean? You can't tell from looking at the time itself, but refer to the row or column headings and you'll see it's the time it departs from a certain station. You've got strings of text. Are they the title, the summary, or the date? People will tell that from checking the column headings. So it's a table. A: It looks like you're wanting to display a table, right? So go ahead and use the <table> tag. A: I would use the following markup: <table> <tr> <th>Title</th> <th>Subject</th> <th>Summary</th> <th>Date</th> </tr> <!-- Data rows --> </table> One other thing to keep in mind with all of these div and list based layouts, even the ones that specify fixed widths, is that if you have a bit of text that is wider than the width (say, a url), the layout will break. The nice thing about tables for tabular data is that they actually have the notion of a column, which no other html construct has. Even if this site has some things, like the front page, that are implemented with divs, I would argue that tabular data (such as votes, responses, title, etc) SHOULD be in a table. People that push divs tend to do it for semantic markup. You are pursuing the opposite of this. A: I don't mean to sound patronizing; if I do, I've misunderstood you and I'm sorry. Most people frown upon tables because people use them for the wrong reason. Often, people use huge tables to position things in their website. This is what divs should be used for. Not tables! However, if you want to display tabular data, such as a list of football teams, wins, losses, and ties, you should most definitely use tables. It's almost unheard of (although not impossible) to use divs for this. Just remember, if it's for displaying data, you can definitely use a table! A: display:block garauntees that the elements will not appear on the same line. Floating for layout is abuse just like tables for layout is abuse (but for the time being, it's necessary abuse). The only way to garauntee that they all appear on the same line is to use a table tag. That, or display:inline, and use only &nbsp; (Non-Breaking Space) between your elements and words, instead of a normal space. The &nbsp; will help you prevent word wrapping. But yea, if there's not a legitimate reason for avoiding tables, use tables for tabular data. That's what they're for. A: In the age of CSS frameworks, I really don't see a point of drifting away from table tag completely. While it is now possible to do display: table-* for whatever element you like, but table is still a preferred tag to format data in tabular form (not forgetting it is more semantically correct). Just pick one of the popular CSS framework to make tabular data looks nice instead of hacking the presentation of <div> tags to achieve whatever it is not designed to do. display: block will certainly not work, try display: inline or float everything to the left then position them accordingly but if you have tabular data, then it is the best to markup in <table> tag some reference: from sitepoint A: The CSS property float is what you're looking for, if you want to stack div's horizontally. Here's a good tutorial on floats: http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/ A: If there's a legitimate reason to not use a table then you could give each div a width and then float it. i.e. div.title { width: 150 px; float: left; } A: You'll need to make sure that all your "cells" float either left or right (depending on their internal ordering), and they also need a fix width. Also, make sure that their "row" has a fixed width which is equal to the sum of the cell widths + margin + padding. Lastly make sure there is a fixed width on the "table" level div, which is the sum of the row width + margin + padding. But if you want to show tabular data you really should use a table, some browsers (more common with previous generation) handle floats, padding and margin differently (remember the famous IE 6 bug which doubled the margin?). There's been plenty of other questions on here about when to use and when not to use tables which may help explain when and where to uses divs and tables. A: Using this code : <div class="title">MyTitle</div><div class="subject">MySubject</div><div class="Summary">MySummary</div> You have 2 solutions (adapt css selectors to you case): 1 - Use inline blocks div { display: inline; } This will result in putting the blocks on the same line but remove the control you can have over their sizes. 2 - Use float div { width: 15%; /* size of each column : adapt */ float: left; /* this make the block float at the left of the next one */ } div.last_element /* last_element must be a class of the last div of your line */ { clear: right; /* prevent your the next line to jump on the previous one */ } The float property is very useful for CSS positioning : http://www.w3schools.com/css/pr_class_float.asp A: The reason the questions page on stack overflow can use DIVs is because the vote/answers counter is a fixed width. A: Tabular data can also be represented as nested lists - i.e. lists of lists: <ul> <li> heading 1 <ul> <li>row 1 data</li> <li>row 2 data</li> <ul> </li> <li> heading 2 <ul> <li>row 1 data</li> <li>row 2 data</li> <ul> </li> </ul> Which you can layout like a table and is also semantically correct(ish). A: For the text to appear on a single line you would have to use display="inline" Moreover, you should really use lists to achieve this effect <ul class="headers"> <li>Title</li> <li>Subject</li> <li>Summary</li> <li>Date</li> </ul> The style would look like this: .headers{padding:0; margin:0} .headers li{display:inline; padding:0 10px} /The padding would control the space on the sides of the text in the header/ A: I asked a similar question a while ago Calendar in HTML and everyone told me to use tables too. If you have made an igoogle home page, just yoink their code. I made a system of columns and sections within the columns for a page. Notice with google you can't have an infinite number of columns and that offends our sensibilities as object people. Here's some of my findings: * * You need to know the width of the columns *You need to know the number of columns *You need to know the width of the space the columns inhabit. *You need to ensure whitespace doesn't overflow I made a calendar with DIV tags because it is impossible to get XSL to validate without hard coding a maximum number of weeks in the month, which is very offensive. The biggest problem is every box has to be the same height, if you want any information to be associated with a field in your table with div tags you're going to have to make sure the whitespace:scroll or whitespace:hidden is in your CSS. A: Preface: I'm a little confused by the responses so far, as doing columns using DIVs and CSS is pretty well documented, but it doesn't look like any of the responses so far covered the way it's normally done. What you need is four separate DIVS, each one with a greater "left:" attribute. You add your data for each column into the corresponding DIV (column). Here's a website that should help you. They have many examples of doing columns with CSS/DIV tags: http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/layouts/ All you have to do is extrapolate from their 2-column examples to your 4-column needs. A: You should use spans with: display:inline-block This will allow you to set a width for each of elements while still keeping them on the same line. See here, specifically this section. Now, to appease the downvoters - of course tabular data should be in a table. But he very specifically does NOT WANT a table. The above is the answer to HIS QUESTION!!! A: First display:block should be display:inline-block , Although you might have figured it out already. Second you can also use display:table , display:table-cell , display:table-row and other properties. Although these are not as good as using table.

1969 Rolex Red Submariner (Ref. 1680) "Tropical Mk. II" The Mark 2 dials differentiate by having thicker red lettering of "SUBMARINER" than the mark 1 or 3 dial variants, and thinner text of the depth rating featuring open 6's. This stunning example of an early Red Submariner has gone completely tropical with an intense brown coloration rarely seen in matte dials. The Ref. 1680 is an all-around wonderful sports watch, and would make a nice addition to an existing collection, or would be a unique stand-alone vintage piece. Dial Matte (Red) Mk. II "Tropical" The excellent thick case has been previously polished showing little wear with thick and even lugs. The "fat font" bezel insert has faded beautifully to a vibrant chestnut coloration. The Rolex 93153.18 folded link oyster bracelet with 380 end pieces remains unpolished with some minor stretch from use. This rare and remarkable mk. II matte dial is near flawless with a perfectly even "tropical" brown coloration. The lume is for the most part gone on the lume plots, characteristic of tropical dials, but can still be seen under U.V. light. The original tritium hands have taken on a charming ivory coloration and match the overall look and feel of the watch. The silver date wheel is era correct with open 6's and 9's. None. The watch was recently serviced and is running at COSC spec backed by a 1-year warranty of accurate timekeeping.

It's a Pinterest Fantasy IRL. Most people's porches are pretty one-note. You plant some shrubs and flowers you pray won't die within months, you plop down a doormat, maybe hang a flag, and call it a day. But when Gal Meets Glam blogger Julia Engel and her husband, Thomas Berolzheimer, moved into the South Carolina home they'd recently renovated, they didn't want to settle for so-so. After all, they'd spent a year waiting to move into the house, and its wraparound porch was too much of a focal point to ignore. "Our big reason to move from San Francisco to Charleston was to have outdoor space, and to spend as much time out there as possible," Julia explained. "We wanted to make it feel like a room we'd want to spend time in, rather than something you pass by on your way in and out." Just looking at Julia's effortlessly glam style, it's easy to think she only shops at places the rest of us dream of splurging at, but that wasn't the case. Most of her finds actually came from Lowe's — and her ideas are so easy to snag you have no excuse not to give your porch its own overhaul this summer. What are you waiting for?! 1 She Got In The Zone. "From the get-go, we really wanted to make it a space that felt like a seamless transition from the inside of the house outside. That helped us define the space and really cozy it up," Julia says. With that in mind, she broke the space up into different areas, which would serve different functions, like a bar cart area, an area for plants, and a dining area. 2 She Planned Out Her Plants. Julia loves hydrangea trees, but they're a little too sensitive to handle a direct hit from the Carolina sun all day, every day. Rather than avoid them, she chose two potted trees to flank the doorway. That way they're shaded — and she still gets to enjoy them. 3 She's Always Ready To Party. A small, teak bar cart doesn't take up too much space on the porch, and it keeps Julia's essentials at the ready in case people come over. The outdoor lamp has such a classic design that it helps carry that "indoor comfort" vibe outside. 4 She Let Happy Hour Determine Her Bar Cart Plants. Julia didn't choose just any green plants to deck out her bar cart area. Since she often makes cocktails with mint, rosemary, basil, and lavender in them, she decided to put the herbs in planters, so she could easily grab a few leaves while mixing drinks. 5 She Started With A Detail Most People Overlook. Julia knew she wanted to eat outside, so a bistro table and chairs were a must — and so was an outdoor rug. It may seem superfluous, but it made a huge difference in the overall look. "The porch is quite long, so the rug makes the dining area feel like its own special section and brings together all of those pieces," she explains. 6 She Made Sure The Porch Was Lit. Rather than hang a few floodlights and call it a day, Julia tried to make the lighting as relaxed as possible. A few lanterns brightened up one corner, while she added a floor lamp next to the bistro table, and an outdoor table lamp on the bar cart to make it feel more homey. 7 She Layered Her Plants. Julia will be real with you: "I would like to have a green thumb. I love plants and having as many around as possible, but my husband really has more of a green thumb than I do," she admits. A plant stand helped her organize her plants, creating two tiers of greenery to bring life to the porch. Painted the same shade of white as the walls and floor, it blends into the background, letting the greens be the focus. 8 It Wouldn't Be A Southern Porch Without A Rocking Chair. Just to the left of the front door, Julia set up two white rocking chairs and a ceramic stool, which is just the right height for resting a glass. "We can see the water from our porch, so it's the perfect spot to have coffee in the morning, or a glass of wine at night," she says. Um, jeaaaalous. 9 She Kept Her Plants Easy To Transport. Julia bought a bunch of terracotta planters in varying sizes, then potted all kinds of plants in them. That way, she can change up the look of her porch just by moving the greenery around — or give them less sunlight, if they're starting to wither in the lowcountry heat. 10 She Stuck To Warm Neutral Tones. Patio furniture can often be covered in bold, in-your-face patterns, which can be distracting. Julia chose a warm, neutral palette — focusing mostly on sand and wood tones — so the decor wouldn't overpower the front of her house. "Our house is sort of a farmhouse style, with shiplap throughout it, so we wanted to create something that'd fit with that style and feel comfortable," she explains.

Don't take it personally. A lot of the British subversive elements got toned down at the US backers' request, it's a matter of record. Also, Batman and other "kooky" US shows of the time undoubtedly had an influence in making the show more "comic booky". It's just part of making the show have more mass appeal than to the "Chelsea set" that had been going on, at a different rate, from the middle of the Cathy era. Well, I kinda do take it personally when it's implied that a preference for an episode is less valid because it was supposedly toned down for an American audience. It seems to argue that the vague authority of production circumstances supersedes the actual experience of the show and that, therefore, the opposite opinion is wrong. It's insulting to assume that American viewers just don't get the British subtlety, or that the show was therefore "dumbed down" for an American audience. Nor do I think that The Joker was reduced from Don't Look Behind You - the mis-en-scene was simply changed, and the actress's performance was obviously different. It still has the same layers and, for my money, is enhanced by a more expansive use of the house due to the use of film vs. live television. Now you're inventing straw men to rail against. That wasn't what I said at all. Cultural differences don't mean one culture is smarter than another, just that things suitable for one local audience of one particular demographic aren't suitable for all audiences around the world. This also ties in with the imperatives for other internationally-dictated changes, what they thought they were doing bringing in Bryce and then bringing back Clemens, later. You see "expansive", I see brightly overlit, less moody/scary, and more pedestrian. We each see what we want to, I guess. I'm just not going to respond to "production circumstances" comments any more. Discussion of an individual episode turns into competing citations of authority, rather than expressing an opinion that can be agreed or disagreed with. In any case, I don't hate Don't Look Behind You. I just think it was limited in terms of mis-en-scene, cinematography, etc. I thought The Joker developed the same script differently and, in my view, with greater expansiveness of both character and visual aspects. Both have their merits, and whether the slightly comic book nature of The Joker appeals to you or not, Rigg's performance in itself stands out. Nope, don't get the love for Season 6. But then I don't get how anyone can see Emma Peel and think she's uninteresting. That's just me. I'm with you on the Steed/Cathy relationship, though. It's a complex and fascinating one - I find it on par with Steed and Emma. I don't think the relationships are competing, though; just different. I'm objecting to the implicit use of authority to justify your perspective and dismiss an alternative one, not whether or not those production circumstances existed (I know they did). As I said, regardless of whether The Joker was an Americanized version of Don't Look Behind You or not, it still has merits (or lack thereof) as an episode. It also seems that you're claiming that those kinds of changes resulted in turning the series into something with less depth than previous seasons - that appealing to American audiences meant a reduction of the intellect or layers of the series. I disagree with that and I do find it an insulting conclusion to come to, from a personal perspective. But again, it does not matter what the production circumstances were. In terms of an opinion or analysis of an episode, they're trivia. I still don't think that the series lost any depth when it went to the American market! God, it's not like the American public has to be spoon-fed media any more than any other nation, and The Avengers was one of the smartest shows of the 1960s from its very inception. That carried on right to the very end. Nice try at derailing things into your preferred arena, but my criticism was mainly about the worse direction and lighting, as well as the more telegraphed "acting" of the strange young man and girl. As to your "spoon-fed" thing, you didn't address my points about American media moguls assuming Yanks were too dumb to understand the words "revoked" and "Philosopher's", which is what their very own film buyers said. If anyone thinks Americans are dumb it's the American studio bosses/distributors! Beg pardon? You said that The Joker was less subtle and less layered than Don't Look Behind You, and then claimed that you're supported in this assertion via a reference to production circumstances: "maybe it's because of trying to appeal to a broader, international audience, and so having less British underplaying and hints of subtlety (that might be missed or construed as woodenness)." My problem was the use of authority ("appealing to a broader, international audience" and then later "a lot of the British subversive elements got toned down at the US backers' request") to imply your criticism was objectively supported and therefore more correct than another interpretation/opinion. My problem was not with what you criticized within the episode, which I believe I did address in my initial response. We can debate the latter up one side and down the other. I was not derailing the conversation, I was responding to what had been stated. If I mistook what you were saying, I'm sorry. As I said much earlier, I think The Joker depends more on a surreal style of filmmaking than does Don't Look Behind You. Emma is placed in an Alice Through The Looking Glass position, faced with dealing with a "sick" house populated by odd and outlandish characters who do not seem quite real. It has an ephemeral madhouse quality to it. The Gale episode is more down to earth, more noir (again, Carol Reed's films spring to mind), and the danger less discombobulating but, in another sense, more immediately realistic. So the differences between the two "strange young man" characters are in keeping with the styles in each. The noirish tone would not have worked in the technicolor world of Emma Peel, and the surrealist color saturation would not have worked in Gale's world (indeed, would have bee impossible). There's an inherent difference between the two. I personally prefer The Joker, which is entirely my own sensibility, but I don't think either contains less layers, intellectually or cinematically, than the other. Beyond the cinematic limitations of the Gale season, I also like the scene between Steed and Emma for its very poignant but understated affection. This indicates the difference in the relationship between Steed/Emma and Steed/Cathy, for the latter accuses him of manipulating her, while Emma is purely grateful and relieved to see him. Yes, American distributors have a tendency to underestimate their audience ("It won't play in Peoria") and always have. But that was not the issue at hand, as far as I'm concerned. It was the contemporary diminishing of the American audience in retrospect. Based on what has been said in this thread, that seemed to mean a reduction in the intellectual matter or layers of the series. Which, as I've said, I don't see in evidence within the episodes. The Avengers remained a layered and multi-facetted show throughout its run. Canada bought the Gales. It was one of only a handful of countries that picked up the series that early (Australia was another early subscriber). And the US title of Randall and Hopkirk was My Partner the Ghost, often cited as a reason that it didn't do well in the States. It is indeed a matter of record that the American networks had a lot of influence on the series in colour seasons. Whether or not that made the series more or less successful in the States is debatable, but I agree with Franky that there seemed to be a disconnect between what American (and British) networks thought would appeal to an American audience, and what actually did appeal to those audiences. Lew Grade cast brilliant American leads--Tony Curtis, Richard Bradford, Stuart Damon--in his series, reasoning that they would boost the appeal of their respective series to the American market. All three shows did well in Britain and other markets (like Canada), but failed to draw an audience in the US. Meanwhile, the British series that did do well in the US in that period had all-British leads, like The Avengers (bar Linda, but she played Tara British, so it hardly matters), The Saint, and even Danger Man (McGoohan was American by birth but raised in England and Ireland). Maybe American audiences were less keen on the series when the American networks had more influence--the unadulterated Britishness of it was one of the things that made them love it. There`s no doubt that the show was different than it would have been without ABC`s involvement, but the networks on both sides of the Pond seemed to think their audiences wanted different things than the actually did. But again, it does not matter what the production circumstances were. In terms of an opinion or analysis of an episode, they're trivia. Er, that`s one method of interpretation, but by no means the only one. Other theories regarding aesthetics and philosophy of art would argue that the circumstances surrounding production are extremely important when analyzing a work. I understand and accept completely that you subscribe to an interpretive theory that focuses on the work alone, but it`s incorrect to unilaterally state that production circumstances are always completely irrelevant, and that it`s wrong to consider them during analysis. It depends on the theory or method of interpretation. Looking back, I suppose I misunderstood what was being said. It seemed to me that the claim was that the show lost subtlety and layers due to American backers - and that's the element that bothered me. It seemed a backhanded slur on American viewers. There are certainly things that appeal to different demographics. It's been widely proven (even if distributors still don't get it) that American audiences like homegrown British products, and have for years. The popularity of Doctor Who, Sherlock, BBC miniseries/theater productions, The Avengers etc. etc. seems to bear this out. American and British cultures have a curious affinity for each other - I honestly feel greater understanding of British culture than I do of Canadian, but that's partially because I lived in Britain for six years. It was the melding of interpretative method - the claiming of authority to establish that an opinion was correct and, by extension, that the opposite opinion was therefore invalid or, at least, of lesser value. It kills discourse because it makes a claim for an authoritative view based on production circumstances. It also entails leaps of faith - because there were American backers, therefore the episode is more American and by extension less layered, etc. etc. How can one possibly establish that or support it? Argue that the episode is less layered by examining the episode itself, and we can have a debate. But argue that the episode is less layered because production circumstances say it is, and we've lost any chance for debate or disagreement. You've established that one interpretation, and only one, is correct. What more is there to be said? But you're right - there are other modes of interpretation, and other theories with much to be said for them. This is merely the way that I choose to approach analysis. My one claim would be that production circumstances are not the final word on an episode - they are not the ultimate arbiter of correctness. Far too many times I've seen arguments that boil down to "Brian Clemens says it, therefore it must be so" (not in this thread, obviously). In any case, personal preference is still personal preference, and opinion is different from interpretation (I realize that I may have used the two interchangeably, which I should not have done). So, yes, I think in future I'll choose to disregard production circumstances when it comes to a discussion of the merits of an individual episode. That's fine with me - it avoids the conflicting modes of interpretation. It was the melding of interpretative method - the claiming of authority to establish that an opinion was correct and, by extension, that the opposite opinion was therefore lesser. It kills discourse because it makes a claim for an authoritative view based on production circumstances. It also entails leaps of faith - because there were American backers, therefore the episode is more American and by extension less layered, etc. etc. How can one possibly establish that or support it? Argue that the episode is less layered by examining the episode itself, and we can have a debate. But argue that the episode is less layered because production circumstances say it is, and we've lost any chance for debate or disagreement. You've established that one interpretation, and only one, is correct. Yes, I understand all of that. My issue is with the statement, "it does not matter what the production circumstances were. In terms of an opinion or analysis of an episode, they're trivia." It's very unilateral and seems to advocate only one method of interpretation by disallowing the use of the work's production as a means by which to interpret the work, i.e., if it's not onscreen, you can't use it. There are many theories of interpretation that argue the exact opposite of that and are equally valid methods. Preferring one method over another is fine. Insinuating that there is only one method of interpretation, and that means of production can never play a part in interpretation, is incorrect. Which is, absolutely, my opinion on interpretation. It gets far too thorny an issue, because you begin having to delve into intentionality, the mode of production, the psychologies of those involved, what is known (or assumed) about distribution, marketing, etc. You begin setting out to solve the "mystery of the text" in an authoritative manner, which is why I don't agree with or subscribe to that kind of interpretation and take issue with it. But again, you're right. I should not have made such a blanket statement, even if that is my approach. I guess I should have just said that I don't care what the production circumstances are and tried to guide the debate back to the episode, rather than taking issue with the interpretative method. My bad. Yes, absolutely. No quarrel with any of that. We can accept or ignore the show`s backstory at will, and come up with a valid interpretation in either case.

The prime-time town hall meeting will bring together civil rights leaders, police representatives, and others – including a prominent Texan – for "candid discussions on race relations, justice, policing and equality," according to a White House press release. Two days after a trip to Dallas to honor five police officers killed during a peaceful protest, President Barack Obama is holding a White House town hall focused on race relations. Among those participating is Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who originally called protestors "hypocrites" for seeking protection during the shooting from the same police they were protesting. He later backed off that comment, saying he could have chosen a better word. It's hard to say whether the gathering will spark breakthroughs in community-police relations. Scott Bowman, professor at Texas State University's School of Criminal Justice, says he's optimistic about tonight's forum. Typically, he says, two factions have been visible: one that shows "steadfast support" for the police and one that calls for social justice and accountability of the police. The call from Dallas police chief David Brown for protestors to join the police force, Bowman says, doesn't take into consideration the fact that many of those protesting may be excluded from serving as police officers, in part because they may come from the very communities that would preclude them from becoming officers. The policing system certainly has its problems, Bowman says, but the issues run deeper than that.

He was born in his father's lodgings at the Palais du Louvre, where his grandfather Joseph Vernet also lived; his maternal grandfather was Jean-Michel Moreau. To these antecedents and influences are ascribed the supreme ease of his public career, his almost incredible facility and his fecundity. His early training in his father's studio was supplemented by formal academic training with Franeois-Andre Vincent until 1810, when he competed unsuccessfully for the Prix de Rome. He first exhibited at the Salon in 1812. In 1814 Vernet received the Legion d'honneur for the part he played in the defence of Paris, which he commemorated in the Clichy Gate: The Defence of Paris, 30 March 1814 Related Paintings to Horace Vernet :. | John Singleton Copley - Portrait of Hugh Montgomerie, Later Twelfth Earl of Eglinton | Joos van Cleve -- Eve | El Greco021 | Jules Dupre - The River, 19th century | Peter Paul Rubens12 | | Allegory of the Arts | kunstdommere | The Last Supper | stilleben | Still-life w Bird-nest |

There was a furore among the Indian citizens regarding Aadhaar privacy. The whole UIDAI row started with a tweet that says "Check your phone contacts: You may see an entry for UIDAI with the number 1800-300-1947. This has been pushed mysteriously thru the back end? If correct It means agencies can push anything into your phone without your knowledge." (sic) This tweet came from an official handle on Twitter. UIDAI Row: What Happened To Aadhaar? Google has apologized for "inadvertently" loading the old UIDAI helpline and 112 helpline number into the 'setup wizard' of Android phones. "We are sorry for any concern that this might have caused and would like to assure everyone that this is not a situation of an unauthorized access of their Android devices. Users can manually delete the number from their devices," the statement added. An official confirmation coming from UIDAI said the number 1800-300-1947 appearing in the contact list of Android phones was an "outdated and invalid" helpline number. However, the official toll-free number of UIDAI 1947 is still functional for more than two years now. The twitterati and other social media sites like Facebook were all panicked. A French hacker with a pseudo name Elliot Anderson tweeted this after UIDAI tweet. He said in his tweet that many people, with a different provider, with and without an #Aadhaar card, with and without the mAadhaar app installed, noticed that your phone number is predefined in their contact list by default and so without their knowledge. Can you explain why?

Koreans, Americans join together in friendship, honor Veterans at annual event by Cameron Porter CAMP HENRY, Rep. of Korea -- Remembering our shared past, honoring our Veterans of the Korean War, and joining together as a sign of friendship and cooperation -- that's what the 16th Chilgok Korean-American Friendship Day event was all about, held Dec. 6 at the Chilgok County Chamber of Commerce and Industry Hall in Waegwan, Korea. More than 200 people attended the event, to include U.S. Army Garrison Daegu Commander Robert Mann, members of the USAG-Daegu staff and more than 30 Soldiers from the 6th Ordnance Battalion at Camp Carroll, Korea. Following the National Anthems of the United States and the Rep. of Korea, a moment of silence for those who died during the Korean War, and guest remarks -- a couple dozen Korean War Veterans were presented with special ceremonial scarves by U.S. and Korean Army Soldiers as a sign of respect and appreciation. Following this, a formation of U.S. Soldiers sang the 8th Army Song, and a formation of Korean Soldiers sang a Korean Military Song entitled "Rest in Peace." "As you well know, the Korean-American Friendship Association meets annually to commemorate all the Korean and American Soldiers who sacrificed so much for the peace of our country," said Sun-ki Beak, the Chilgok governor. "I'm hoping events like this not only honor them but continue to make a stronger relationship between the Koreans and the Americans." "In my 25 years of service with the U.S. Army I have never seen an alliance more rock solid that what I see here today between our two countries," said Mann. "Together we stand united in one mission -- to preserve peace and achieve an even brighter future for our children and generations to come." The event was followed by a buffet-style lunch and lots of group photos, selfies and smiles, showing Koreans and Americans together and capturing the cooperation and friendship well.

The eastern approach of the underpass on Great Eastern Highway has recently received an upgrade as part of the Department of Transport's Safe Active Streets Program by the City of Belmont. Porter Consulting Engineers undertook the design and construction administration for the boulevard which links Leach Highway to Great eastern Highway via Tomato Lake and Surrey Road. Our engagement included preparation of detailed design for the underpass upgrade including siteworks, services location, retaining walls, paths and stairs. We also engaged sub-consultant Ecoscape to undertake the landscape design component. The City installed a bicycle maintenance station at the top of the ramp to provide service facilities for cyclists. Our Practice undertook the contract administration of the bike boulevard project which commenced in mid-September and was completed in January 2019. This upgrade to the existing infrastructure provides an improved access for cyclists and pedestrians as well as an aesthetic improvement to the local area.

When my wife, Ann, was officially diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder, it was not the major revelation that one might expect. It was a label to the problem I had been dealing with since she left Silver Hill Hospital. I knew something was amiss. Despite the weekly double session therapy she'd been attending faithfully and her compliance with her medications prescribed for postpartum depression, she wasn't getting better. Bipolar Disorder gave a label to the "something" insidious creeping ever so slowly, artfully, into our household. I had seen the writing on the wall for quite some time. I knew there was something wrong. I could see the subtle changes compounding on each other, ultimately becoming a glaring sign. The Bat signal had been raised, only we didn't live in Gotham and Batman was not coming to the rescue. I was left to figure out how to navigate this "something" while keeping our kids insulated from their mother's illness. I made sure the household kept running smoothly and our secret was safe. In the early months when we believed it was severe postpartum depression, I felt I had to lie when asked about Ann. I did this because I couldn't let her/our truth out and have people think less of her. I lied because I could not let our children know why their mother was unable to look them in the face or spend time with them. I lied because I didn't fully understand the illness myself, even though I tried to. I read multiple books and article online, attempting to gain an education on postpartum depression. I lied because deep down I knew this was something more. I lied because I knew of the stigma that came with her diagnosis and I wanted to shield all of us from it. Most of all, I wanted to shield Ann from being labeled "crazy" post-hospitalization. I needed to shield the boys from having a "crazy" mother. The stigma of mental illness kept us isolated. The great cover-up continued as her condition worsened and I gained more understanding of what was actually happening. Now that a formal diagnosis was established, I was able to communicate with her caregivers from a more assertive position. I knew what questions to ask. I now knew what signs to watch for at home in order to gauge her stability. That was the easy part. The challenging part for me was being both mom and dad. I was the maid, cook and caregiver with no help from Ann. First, she dealt with being sick. Now she had to deal with getting better and at times that meant being in the hospital away from us. My mom, sisters and brother-in-law helped whenever they could but it was still a hard road. The stress mounted further when her team of providers were unwilling to put a timeline on the length of her hospital stay. I wanted to figure out how long to have babysitters or to call in for extra reinforcements. I refused to let Ann be alone in the hospital. I refused to miss a single visiting hour even with all the responsibility at home. I took a vow to stand by her in sickness and in health. I was not complaining to the hospital staff that I had my kids. I was asking for clarification in order to determine how to best take care of our family. I've had to make some difficult choices regarding our family that Ann's therapist didn't always agree with. These were decisions that the treatment team did not feel were in her best interest even though I felt they were in the best interest of our family. Looking back, I was 100% right to stand my ground. I understand that her health was (and is) the most important matter to them. However, it's frustrating and disappointing when the family of a mentally ill person is seemingly left hanging. Ann fought hard to get better. She signed papers so that her therapist and psychiatrist could communicate with me freely at any point. Yet, if I called with concerns or questions for the treatment team, I was greeted with hostility, a guarded manner, and received only the most basic answers. No one considered the family of the mentally ill person. I was left to handle everything alone. However, mental illness is very much a family-centered illness. If Ann had cancer, I would have casseroles and support groups coming out of the woodwork. It simply does not exist in the mental health community due to the stigma that all family members feel just as acutely as the actual patient. They are fearful to speak out and reveal the secret they worked so hard to protect. It's time for the families to speak up and talk about the effects of the illness on them too. I pray every day that families become a priority in the care of mental illness. It's hard having to manage a household by oneself while your loved one is in an inpatient facility, but I did it. I kept everything running smoothly. The kids were happy and I made sure they knew they indeed had TWO parents loved them very much, but one was ill and simply unable to show that love temporarily. I did all of this because I love my wife and my boys and I believe in our future. This article originally appears on The Good Men Project. This is part of a collaboration between Stigma Fighters and Good Men Project.

The development of Trident's impulse ink jet technology began in the early 1980's as an Exxon Enterprises Group venture seeking to create a high speed, digital printing process for word processing and fax machines. Dataproducts Ink Corp. (since acquired by Hitachi Koki Co. Ltd. and then by Ricoh) became joint venture partners to market the product and later acquired the company in whole. While Dataproducts concentrated on the solid ink version of the technology, the liquid ink products were making in-roads into some high speed industrial niches. Trident, Inc. was formed in 1989 by a small group of former Dataproducts Corp. managers with financial backing from Johnson Worldwide Associates (JWA) and an exclusive license for liquid ink industrial printing application. In 1994, Trident's management, backed by venture capitalists, purchased JWA's ownership share in the company. a successful initial public offering in February 1996. Trident's industry leadership, commitment to continuing technological advancements, and financial stability, led to our acquisition in February 1999 by Illinois Tool Works Inc. (ITW). Trident's development, manufacturing and administrative headquarters are located in St. Charles, Missouri. Regional offices are located in Japan and Ireland.

The very idea of decorating a dining room says something about us. We don't eat to survive. To us dining is a social activity that adds color and beauty to life. In our decorated dining rooms, we celebrate anniversaries, holidays, birthdays. To inspire your decorating, here are my favorite glamorous dining room decorating ideas. I hope they add sparkle and grace to your family's special moments. Begin your glamorous dining room decorating from the bottom up. Invest in a beautiful rug that extends 2 feet outside the perimeter of your dining room table and leaves at least 2 feet of space from the wall. If you have a round table, look for a round rug, and avoid buying a rug that's too long for your table. Like a picture that you fit in a frame, your dining room table should fit perfectly in the rug. The right table for your glamorous dining room with nice wooden dinnerware decorating depends very much on the size of the room. For smaller rooms, a glass table is ideal, as the view of the stunning dining room rug through the table will grant an illusion of space. A simply carved wood table will add glamour to a mid-sized dining room. And an ornate wood table or stone table will complete the beauty of a large dining room. Wall art plays a vital role in glamorous dining room decorating. Look for prints or art that will repeat the patterns and colors present in your dining room rug. Then frame your art to match the style of your dining room table. This glamorous dining room decorating idea works both for dining rooms with chair rail molding or without. Use a long fern leaf (either fresh or silk) to stamp a horizontal pattern midway up the walls all around the dining room. Use latex paint in a color to match your dining room decor, brush paint on the leaf, then press it on the wall, repeating the process as you work in a line. Be sure to tilt one leaf print a little up, then weave the next one as if in a garland just below with a downward tilt. Light plays an important role in glamorous dining room decorating. The light fixture should hang low over your dining room table, to create intimate light. Choose a light fixture that matches the style of your dining room table. An imitation glass chandelier (or crystal if you can afford it) should hang over a glass table. A vintage or mission style light will match a wood table. And a Victorian chandelier will best fit an ornate or stone dining room table. This is my favorite glamorous dining room decorating idea. Using swag hooks, which you can find at a garden center, to ang four candelabras from the ceiling at each corner of your dining room. You can buy chandelier candelabras or you can make them, following these simple instructions. To increase the pools of flickering light in the room, add a glamorous mirror to your dining room decorating, but do not spend a fortune on an expensive giant mirror. Instead look for small mirrors to match the style of your dining room decor. Hang them in a cluster to form a large square, rectangle or circle. Perhaps the greatest impact in glamour dining room decorating will come from adding matching drapery at the entrance or entrances to the room and over the window. I recommend buying the fabric yourself at a fabric store and hemming it all around. The top hem should be widest and you can thread an ornate wood poll through it and suspend the drapery from ornate shelf brackets. Be sure to look for glamorous tasseled curtain tie-backs at the fabric store. The center of any dining room decorating project is, of course, the centerpiece ornamenting the dining room table. I especially love the feral forest arrangements from Martha Stewart. You can plant moss and mushrooms in an elegant bowl that matches your dining room decor, or you can glue the bark of a tree around a simple bowl, as if your centerpiece is growing out of a stump of wood. If you wish to add a cadenza to your glamorous dining room decorating, move your dining room table further away from the wall by a measurement equal to the depth of the cadenza. In this way, your table will still appear centered in the room. In addition, be sure to move your overhead lighting to hang exactly at the center of the table. Use a lighting chain to conceal the electrical cord, and hang the lamp by a swag hook. For more dining room decorating ideas, see my 10 dramatic dining room decorating ideas. And for all around inspiration here are 63 home decorating ideas and projects.

And can no longer afford to troll, so I will continue to use social media until the situation improves. I will not talk about it. Not only this but Javed Jaffrey in his media statement scoffing at the government, also said, 'How long will you keep quiet, what you have to do, besides Jawid Jaffrey, Indian Bali?' Shabana Azmi, the leading actress of Wood, has also come out against the Modi government's anti-Muslim legislation. Shabana Azmi has also supported the Modi government's protest against the controversial anti-Muslim law across India on the social relations website Twitter. I sent a message saying that even though I was abroad, I did not personally attend the demonstration. I am, but I fully support.

When you think of ground penetrating radar, it's not unusual to associate it with ground studies, when there is a question as to the presence of valuable mineral within the soil. However, there are other ways that it can be used, including the transportation and road safety professions, in order to maintain the safety and usability of the general public. For instance, it is an efficient and accepted way to find buried structural and sewage lines. In addition, it is an effective way to determine the structural integrity of specific roads and to assess any underlying conditions or problems that could eventually have a negative impact on the usability of the road. Therefore, when your job duties include making the use of roads and ground safe, the facts discussed in the following sections will be quite useful. It is often surprising to discover that some of the sewage and structural lines that exist today were not precisely and accurately mapped and documented at the time of their initial installation and use. Another concern with them has been the disintegration and similar damage that those lines have incurred over the years. As a result, there is a strong need for ground penetrating radar. That is due to its ability to detect the presence and condition of those lines, as well as non-conforming connections that often indicate areas that have broken off or otherwise separated. Otherwise, less effective methods such as digging into the ground at slight intervals might be necessary. It is important to note that although the process of evaluating the condition of roads and its underlying support system is similar to checking for the presence of the aforementioned sewer lines, the goal is different and the way that it is performed also has some differences. For example, it can be used to not only determine the position and placement of the pavement, it can also determine its approximate thickness. That information can include extensive information about the top part of the pavement that is not always clear to the naked eye. The dimensions of the asphalt in question are known to have a significant impact on the safety and accepted use of roads. In turn, the measurements of the various asphalt components and layers are necessary to determine the projected cost and time parameters that will apply to the work of updating, installing and maintaining the road. In conclusion, ground penetrating radar has a variety of safety-related uses, many of which can be used in the transportation and safety fields. As a result, it's a good idea for anyone in those fields to have a working knowledge of the information shared above.

Bradenton Injury Lawyer > Bradenton Breach of Contract Dispute Lawyer Bradenton Breach of Contract Dispute Lawyer Businesses of all shapes and sizes rely on contracts for every phase of their operations. Individual consumers are in the same boat. However, a contract is usually a snapshot. It reflects the prevailing market factors and individual preferences at a specific time. These conditions change, but contracts don't change. Therefore, breach of contract actions are rather common. At the Cahall Law Firm, our diligent Bradenton breach of contract dispute lawyers work hard to represent your interests. Contact law is quite complex. So, whether you want to enforce an existing contract or avoid responsibility under an unfavorable agreement, legal options are usually available. You just need the right lawyer who can not only identify the legal issues but also fight hard for you. Elements of a Contract Contrary to popular myth, a legal contract is more than a written agreement. Furthermore, some contracts are only enforceable in some situations. For example, a contract between parents to modify a child support obligation is only enforceable between the parents. It's unenforceable in court. Generally, the elements of a fully-enforceable contract are: Offer and Acceptance: One side must unequivocally say "I offer" and the other side must unequivocally say "I accept." Any ifs, ands, or buts, or any other conditions, usually disprove the offer and acceptance element. Mutuality: Lawyers often call this element a meeting of the minds. Both sides must agree to the same thing at the same time. Mutuality is often an issue in "contracts" which are email or text message strings. Consideration: Both sides must give up something of value. If Tim agrees to mow Bill's lawn for $50, Tim gives up his time and Bill gives up his money. Usually, the consideration must be of roughly equal value. Capacity: People under 18 cannot legally make contracts. Additionally, a third-party beneficiary does not have the capacity to end a contract. If Tim is a paperboy who delivers the Daily Herald to Bill, the contract is between Bill and the Daily Herald. Tim has no capacity. Principal/agent authority issues sometimes arise as well. Legality: Illegal contracts are always and automatically void. If Tim marries Bill and Tim is already married to someone else, the Tim/Bill marriage is illegal and therefore void. Many medical supply contracts, like drug sales, are only semi-legal. Film magnate Samuel Goldwyn once supposedly said that "An oral contract isn't worth the paper it's printed on." That's not exactly true. Oral contracts are enforceable, as long as they meet the aforementioned requirements. It's just more difficult for a Bradenton breach of contract dispute lawyer to prove or disprove the terms of the contract in court. Potential Remedies The elements of a contract are clearly established in Florida law. So are the possible remedies for a breach of contract. Compensatory damages are, by far, the most common remedy in breach of contract disputes. Aggrieved parties are usually entitled to expectation and consequential damages. Assume Sam agrees to sell a bus to a tour bus company for $100,000. Sam backs out of the deal. The bus company finds another bus, but must pay $110,000. Furthermore, because of the delay, the bus company had to refund $50,000 to customers who literally missed the bus. The company's damages would be $60,000 ($10k expectation and $50k compensatory). If money damages cannot adequately compensate the aggrieved party, specific performance might be available. In the above example, a bus is normally a bus, but Prince's former tour bus is a unique item. Other remedies, which don't arise very often, include rescission, injunction, liquidated damages, and nominal damages.

I am so in love with the Lux series, it's insane. Seriously, I had wanted to get so many other books out of the way so that I could read Opal, I was that excited to read it. It doesn't really surprise me that I liked the book as much as I did - I mean, I finished it in two days and stayed up until 2 AM to finish it. On a Sunday. But, despite how quickly I devoured and liked Opal, I don't think it's the best book in the series, for a couple of reasons. My main reason as to why I don't think Opal is the best book in the series, is sadly down to Katy and Daemon. As much as it pains me to say, certain things they said and did just irked me a little bit. Daemon was protective of Katy before, but now that they're officially together, he got scarily protective. As in threatening to hurt a certain person if they even spoke to her. No. Just no. Daemon, I get that you really like Katy, she means a lot to you and you don't want to see her get hurt. But that doesn't mean that you have to make threats against another person's life, just because they want to speak to her. Seriously, calm down. I was really , really hoping that he wouldn't turn into one of those *whispers*Edward Cullen (I sure hope no one heard that) kinds of guys with his over protectiveness, but thankfully he didn't. Phew. But the fact that he was inching just that little bit closer worried me a bit. Katy didn't bother me as much as Daemon did at times, but there was a moment where I wanted to sit her down and tell her what was up. She got jealous over something that had happened a long time ago, that something being Daemon's past relationship with Ash. I'm sorry, but there is nothing I hate more than when a girl freaks out and is insanely jealous over her boyfriend's ex-girlfriend. Why? He's not dating her, he's dating you, Katy. You also need to calm down! One of my favourite things about the Lux is that even though it is technically a romance series, we still get a fair share of science-fiction in here, which makes me an incredibly happy bunny. I really enjoyed seeing Katy training with Blake and the Luxen to take control of the abilities she gained in Onyx and also becoming stronger in the process. That's not to say that I don't like the more romantic aspects of the series, because I do. Some scenes are particularly interesting, if you know what I mean. Sometimes I found myself rereading certain passages, just to make sure my brain wasn't playing tricks on me.

How African presidents rig elections to stay in office African Affairs African Affairs is published on behalf of the Royal African Society and is the top ranked journal in African Studies. It is an inter-disciplinary journal, with a focus on the politics and international relations of sub-Saharan Africa. It also includes sociology, anthropology, economics, and to the extent that articles inform debates on contemporary Africa, history, literature, art, music and more. By Michael Amoah There are at least 19 African countries where the heads-of-state have overstayed beyond their term limits via (un)constitutional revisions: Algeria, Angola, Burkina Faso, Burundi, Cameroon, Chad, Congo-Brazzaville, Cote d'Ivoire, the Democratic Republic of the Congo , Egypt, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Guinea (which is trying once more in 2020), Rwanda, Senegal, Togo, Tunisia, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. But there are also 11 notable European countries that have no term limits at all on how long the Prime Minister or Chancellor could stay in office, which is probably why the Africans do not pay heed to lectures from the Europeans, because the latter do not believe in term limits themselves! In all European cases (Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Luxemburg, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, and United Kingdom) the prime minister could remain in office for as long as their parliamentary majority is retained and the majority party wants them there, which is exactly what is currently practised in Angola, except that the Angolan constitution allows two maximum terms. The presidential system concentrates power in that office, hence presidents do their utmost or damndest to exercise all the power at their disposal to the disadvantage of their opponents, and when besotted with that power, would do everything possible to keep it by extending term limits and enforcing the extension with winning elections. Hence elections have become the battlefield where both incumbents and aspirants fight accession to the throne, and as the saying goes, "might is right." But the art of electioneering is now so fraught with tactics (boundary revisions, campaigning, vigilance on the manual ballot processes, vote buying, and even rigging), that the smartest and not necessarily the best candidate can win by sleight of hand. So the saying now, is "sleight is right." Stakeholders, including incumbents, opposition parties, electoral commission officials, civil society, and international monitors have now mastered the art of policing the manual ballot processes, hence the state of the art in elections cheating has shifted towards the cyber arena where government sponsors or opposition agents seek to avoid detection or apprehension via the application of various modus operandi ranging from, directly influencing electoral commission officials, to hacking and counter-hacking, in order to manipulate the electronic data aggregation of election results. Therefore, exercising control over the electronic aggregation process has become the new battleground and decider for who wins an election. It's clear that, at least in Gabon, Ghana, Gambia in 2016, and Kenya in 2017, the incumbent wins the elections when he has control over the electronic vote aggregation exercise, and loses when not in control. The Democratic Republic of the Congo's December 2018 elections whereby the incumbent-controlled electoral commission cancelled voting in the opposition strongholds of Beni, Butembo and Yumbi, and subsequently announced results which were counter-intuitive to real time figures collated by some 40,000 observers of the Catholic Episcopal Commission, further demonstrates that whoever is in control of the data aggregation wins the election, and highlights the sleight is right milieu we are currently in. Even the colossal joint intervention of the African Union, the Southern African Development community and the International Conference of the Great Lakes Region was unsuccessful. Contrarily, recent irregularities highlighted by a Constitutional Court ruling over the May 2019 elections in Malawi, now known as the Tipp-Ex elections, included the use of the correction fluid on tallying forms, and posits a glaring example of an unsophisticated effort which proved unsuccessful, compared with the Congo's more brazen commandeering of the election boundaries and results aggregation in the gizmo age. We await Guinea-Bissau's Supreme Court investigation over the disputed November 2019 presidential elections, to see what further challenges that might bring. In the meantime, African politics provides serious lessons to ponder. It may help to adopt an electronic or cyber solution which should forensically address all data entry errors in order to prevent rigging in the first place, or which could resolve such errors in the case of a dispute. However, countries must be willing to comply with the system once it is designed and mainstreamed. Featured Image Credit: 'Black and white image' by Element5 Digital. CCO public domain via Unsplash.

Does the rise of messaging apps mean brands need a 'bot' strategy? By Patricio Robles April 1st 2016 02:26 Private messaging is social's next big ad frontier, but there's huge potential for these apps to evolve beyond being just another ad platform. In the East, platforms like WeChat show how messaging apps can be potent channels for commerce, and all indications are that the same could one day be true in the West. Last week, Microsoft announced the Bot Framework, an addition to its Cortana Intelligence Suite that allows developers "to build intelligent bots that enable customers to chat using natural language on a wide variety of platforms including text/SMS, Office 365, Skype, Slack, the Web and more." It also released a Skype Bot Platform that paves the way for companies to build bots that can interact with users on Skype via text, voice, video and interactive characters. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is committed to the idea of "conversation as a platform" and Microsoft isn't the only company aiming to make it possible for consumers to interact with digital services via a variety of digital conversations – many of which will only have a human on one side. Already, companies are embracing Facebook Messenger, one of the world's most popular messaging apps, to interact with their customers. For example, Air France KLM is integrating with Messenger and will soon allow flyers to check in, receive flight status updates, make itinerary changes and interact with customer service through Facebook's messaging solution. According to Tjalling Smit, Air France KLM's senior vice president of digital, it's all about serving customers where they are. "The KLM app is not one" of the apps that its customers use on a regular basis, "however Facebook, Messenger, etc. are. This made us decide that we have to turn third-party platforms like social media (including chat platforms) into a new entry point for our customers." Challenges, opportunities ahead Of course, interacting with customers through messaging apps presents brands with a number of challenges. They won't have full control over the user experience, so delivering a high-quality customer experience will require effort. There is also the potential that interactions with corporate chat bots could be sources of a major fail. Microsoft, for instance, was forced to take Tay, an AI Twitter bot, offline after it was manipulated into posting offensive, embarrassing tweets. But despite the fact that perfecting human-computer interactions will take time, brands should start thinking about how they might be able to engage with their customers in an automated fashion. This is because it seems increasingly likely that a large number of consumers will not only be comfortable with this kind of engagement, but might even find it desirable. Case in point: bots are one of the most popular features of popular collaboration platform Slack, and as more and more people are exposed to the utility bots can provide, brands may find it necessary to think about a "bots everywhere" strategy in preparation for the day when bots are ubiquitous. Blog Customer Experience Facebook Microsoft Mobile Skype slack Social US User Experience and Usability WeChat 11 of the most memorable 'brand' #hashtags of all time Twitter celebrated its 10th birthday this week, and despite all its problems it has arguably become as important a technical feature of society as the TV or the telephone. Not a single campaign or significant event goes by without having a hashtag attached, and Twitter quite often becomes the primary source of news for individuals and high-profile publications alike. In light of all that, I thought I'd celebrate some of the very best uses of hashtags I've seen from brands over the years.
