A Touch of Class hed oprindeligt ATC og var en tysk popgruppe, selvom ingen af de fire medlemmer kom fra Tyskland – Joseph Murray kom fra New Zealand, Tracey Elizabeth Packham fra England, Sarah Egglestone fra Australien og Livio Salvi fra Italien.

Deres første single, Around the World (La La La La La) (en coverversion af sangen af "Pesenka" af den russiske gruppe Ruki Vverkh) lå nr. 1 på Tyskland i 6 uger i år 2000, hvilket sætter rekorden for nogen europæisk sang. Den blev også nr. 1 i de fleste andre europæiske lande, dog ikke lige så lang tid, og selv i USA klarede den sig ganske godt. Senere har DJ Carlee lavet et techno-cover af sangen, som han kalder Dizzie Round the World. Bandet Befour lavede også en coverversion i år 2007 kaldet Magic Melody.

Deres debutalbum Planet Pop blev udgivet d. 6. februar 2001 af Sony BMG Entertainment, og det blev belønnet med en ECHO-pris for "bedste danseakt". To af deres senere singler, My Heart Beats like a Drum (Dam Dam Dam) og Why oh Why mindede om Around the World og blev populære flere steder i Europa, men ATC er stadig mest huskede for deres første hit.

På et tidspunkt vandt DJ'en ATB en retssag omkring navneefterligning, og ATC var tvunget til at skifte navn til A Touch of Class. De udgav i 2003-2004 tre singler fra deres andet album Touch the Sky, men de havde ikke stor succes, og på grund af pengeproblemer var gruppen tvunget til opløsning.

Nuværende status
I oktober 2007 blev ATC halvt genforenet, da Livio og Joseph sang en ny version af Around the World i det tyske show Ultimate Chart Show, der primært viser sangere med klassiske discosange. Livio har indspillet nogle få "prøvesange", der kan høres på hans MySpace, og arbejder på et nyt album, selv om han dog endnu ikke har fået kontakt til et pladeselskab. Joseph er skuespiller, og hans nyeste filmroller er i filmen Go Go Tales og miniserien Empire.

Watch: Robotics in the Warehouse: Will It Scale?
Russell W. Goodman, SupplyChainBrain
Customers are turning to robotics in the warehouse because of the technology's modularity and scalability, says Romain Moulin, chief executive officer and co-founder of Exotec Inc.
When Moulin speaks of automation in the warehouse, he thinks of huge and quite complex machinery; he thinks of hardware. Conversely, when it comes to robotics, he tends to think of software and more intelligence.
"There's an army of robots running everywhere in the warehouse, bringing totes to your operators so that you can speed up their processes," he says.
With robots, one has the ability to get to work as soon as they're out of the box. "This system can be deployed much faster, say, in six months, instead of usually one to one-and-a-half years," Moulin says. "That's really the speed of deployment. And then there's the ability to add modules, to add robots, to scale up the system, which makes a difference between robotics and automation. Things are more flexible when you use robotics."
Looking at the robotics industry as a whole, Moulin sees tremendous growth possibilities in the coming years, given the fact that current warehouse operations are still around 90% manual.
The 10% with automation has less flexibility than they would have with robotics, he says. "These are systems that are difficult to modify. And once you put in the system, you don't touch it for 10 years. So we are bringing flexibility to these customers, the ability to have a high performance machine, but at the same time a machine that can be modified. I'm pretty sure that of this 90% with a manual warehouse, a big part of it will be converted to robotics. So it's a tremendous market."

MISSIONARY OF WALL STREET
HOLY WEEK 2021
STEVE AUTH
What am I, a senior executive with one of the country's largest money managers, doing hailing down strangers at night on the streets of New York City?
SOME NIGHTS THE TIDE TURNS IN THE LORD'S FAVOR
"Are you Catholic?" my friends and I ask. "Would you like a rosary? Would you like to go to confession here tonight?"
"Are you kidding?" responds one man. "Been there, done that!" says another. "God, no!" chimes in a fast-walking atheist.
"You Catholics are all pedophiles!" yells one angry woman. Another hands us a bag of dog poop. Sixty-year-old Michael even has advice: "Why don't you evangelize out in the Middle East, where they need you?"
"We're needed here," we respond. "This city needs Jesus, too. It needs His love."
Some nights the tide turns in the Lord's favor. A young woman approaches us, decked out in showy attire. "Are you guys really Catholic? I didn't think there were any Catholics left! Can I have a purple rosary?"
"Sure! Where are you going? We have lots to talk about."
"I've got to run! I'm a stripper. But I'm going to pray with this rosary."
At times, the neighborhood even begins rooting for us. Strangers call out: "Way to go!" "Your courage is inspiring!"
We're in our groove now, engaging strangers with joy and seeing some of them later in church. On the rough streets of the city, working shoulder to shoulder with Christ, we're no longer alone; we feel God's grace.
You will, too, as you read the dozens of riveting and often funny stories in these pages, about ordinary Catholics from the financial sector evangelizing their wary New York neighbors. Indeed, so fascinating are their experiences you may be tempted one day to join them.

Header Image – Jack and Charmian in Hawaii on the Snark adventure.
Among Jack's dreams was to circumnavigate, heading west from San Francisco Bay across the Pacific. In 1906 he began building the 45′ ketch, Snark, named after a mythical creature in poem by Lewis Carrol. The cost of the boat was over four-times the planned budget, and in the end the vessel was poorly built and the voyage was unsuccessful. Upon his return to the Bay Area, Jack purchased a smaller yacht called the Roamer.


Hey, Hey. It's Tip Talkin' Tuesday! I finally shot a video to show you how easy it is to apply Daddy Van's. I also answered your questions about the protection of Daddy Van's and how the finish compares to other waxes on the market. Enjoy!
Apply Daddy Van's with a cloth or brush. Any direction will work fine, just get in on!
Allow it to penetrate your paint. I think I accidentally cut this out of the video, but the set time will vary from paint to paint. I use Websters Chalk Paint Powder which gets mixed with latex. That latex component makes for a chalk like paint that's not as absorbent as others on the market. If you are using a really chalky paint or milk paint, it will absorb the wax quick. You can buff it off, and apply your second coat pretty quickly. I usually let mine sit for about 15-20 minutes and I always apply two coats on painted furniture.
As for the differences in the finish when compared to solvent based waxes, Daddy Van's will not buff up to a hard shine like Fiddes and others do. Instead, it provides a soft, matte finish. It provides the same excellent protection against moisture, dirt, etc. It just will not be glossy. As with any other wax, you will need to periodically maintain your waxed furniture. How often depends on the use but typically every 6 months or so. Daddy Van's is actually very pleasant though, an aromatherapy session of sorts, so I don't find it to be a bother.
I hope this short little post answered your questions about using Daddy Van's over painted furniture. My previous "Tip Talkin' Tuesday" post will tell you more about why I am obsessed with Daddy Van's and the many ways you can use it! As always, feel free to email me if you have any other questions!
No, thank you Laura! I am sooo happy to be able to share such an awesome product! Daddy Van's rocks!
how long should I wait before buffing? Love it.
Hi Julie! Because your paint has a latex component, it won't take as long to seal (less absorbent) and therefore you can buff pretty quickly. Buffing will take on a whole new meaning after buffing Daddy Vans! Soooooo easy!

Q: Find the possible range of values of $g$ if the total distance traveled is more than 4H. For a ball falling from rest at height $H$, the coefficient of restitution $0< e<1$ of this surface wrt the ball is defined as the square root of the ratio of the height of one bounce to that of the previous bounce. Simply put, the ball will rebound to a height of $e^2H$.
If $e = 0.8$, and after 5 bounces, the ball is damaged and the coefficient of restitution is reduced to $g$. Find the possible range of values of $g$ if the total distance traveled is more than 4H.
I am quite confused as what the question mean by total distance travelled.
Nonetheless, here are the values I got for some key ideas.
We know that if the coefficient of restitution is $e$, then the distance travelled by the ball just before the $n$ th bounce is $$Sn = (\dfrac{1+e^2-2e^{2n}}{1-e^2})H$$
And i also calculated out if the we use $e$ as the coefficient of restituition, the sum to infinity distance will be $$S_{\infty} = \dfrac{1+e^2}{1-e^2}H$$
And I also know that the total distance travelled just before the 5th bounce to be $$3.95903H$$
However i tried a few ways to get the range and failed to do so, any suggestions

A: Before the 5th jump, ball is at the height $e^8 H$. With the new coefficient $g$, at infinity, the total distance traveled is $\frac{1+g^2}{1-g^2}e^8H$ and it is given that total distance is larger than $4H$. i.e.
\begin{equation}
\frac{1+g^2}{1-g^2}e^8H > (4-3.79126)H \implies 0.329862 < g < 1\quad (g \text{ positive})
\end{equation}
Since $g<e$,
\begin{equation}
0.329862 < g < 0.8
\end{equation}

As the FabTech 2018 Expo wound to a close on November 8th, it was obvious it was a big success.
Fabtech is a heavy industry tradeshow, catering primarily to the metal working industry. The show was very busy all three days. Vendors and attendees represented a variety of industries including metal fabricating, engineering, safety, robotics, software, chemistry and additive manufacturing.
The MicroCare booth highlighted precision cleaning and featured our Tergo™ line of cleaning fluids for use in vapor degreaser cleaning and additive manufacturing finishing. Throughout the show, David Ferguson, MicroCare Senior Technical Manager for Precision Cleaners, engaged in many conversations with attendees.
"It was refreshing to hear so many people say they were using vapor degreasing; asking what we have for vapor degreasing, or that they were getting back into vapor degreasing," David said.
We look forward to continuing those discussions with all the people we just met at the show, and helping them to get perfectly clean parts. We'll see you at FabTech 2019 in Chicago next year.


Cities around the globe are cracking down on automobiles. It's about the environment, of course, but it's also about economics.
It's a feeling we all know. The dreadful, hellish feeling of being stuck in traffic or sitting in public transit that's again delayed. It's no surprise the worst congestion happens at some of the busiest, most populated city centers of the world, from Paris to New York City. But how are these mega cities dealing with the problem?
Some of these cities have been debating limiting or banning cars in certain areas in order to reduce congestion and get the economy moving again. Traffic congestion and slowdowns, when they exceed a certain threshold, can impede economic development, discourage businesses from expanding and affect productivity, and governments are taking notice.
They see other benefits, too, to supporting car-free cities, from curbing pollution to encouraging public transit use. Different municipalities are using different approaches, with some banning cars in entire stretches and some limiting cars during certain peak hours, like in Colombia. San Francisco is considering eliminating minimum parking requirements, while Brussels has designated historic parts of its city center car-free.
Here's a look at some major cities around the world and how they are ditching cars.
In this Spanish city, only vehicles that meet zero emissions requirements are allowed to drive freely downtown. In 2018, Madrid was one of the first in Europe to push this policy in order to curb emissions and reduce gridlock. All petrol vehicles registered before the year 2000 and diesels registered before 2006 are banned in the city center, unless drivers are area residents or have another exemption. Its goal is to slash nitrogen dioxide levels by 23 percent by 2020.
In recent years, Paris officials have stepped in to crack down on pollution in a variety of ways. Cars registered before 1997 are banned from the city on weekdays, and the Champs-Élysées has monthly closures. In 2016, the highway along the bank of the Seine was closed off and will be turned into a pedestrian-only promenade. The city has also set environmental goals of banning diesel vehicles by 2025 and to double bike lanes throughout by 2020.
Many parts of this southeastern region of China are closed off to cars, including Discovery Bay of Lantau Island and Cheung Chau. To ease congestion, there are talks of another plan to remove cars and create more pedestrian zones in some of Hong Kong's busiest streets. It's also been testing out street closures in Central, a busy business hub, as it tries to catch up to its international neighbors' standards on pedestrian-only zones and combating congestion.
Bay Area traffic has in recent years outranked some of the worst cities for traffic worldwide. In 2018, San Francisco officials started taking a look at getting rid of minimum parking requirements for new developments. If passed, the city would be the first major city in the U.S. to ban these parking requirements forcing developers to provide parking spaces as part of their building.
The city center of Ghent got rid of cars back in 1996 to ease traffic congestion and combat bad air quality. Ghent is the second largest car-free area of Belgium, and proponents of the ban say it opens up more potential for cyclists, public transportation and growing tourism. Public transit, taxis and permit holders can enter the restricted area, but cannot exceed 20 kph, or about 12.4 mph.
Like San Francisco, Minneapolis in 2018 decided to remove mandatory parking requirements. Officials hope that this will help encourage walkability rather than car ownership. Its bold 2040 plan includes goals to reduce emissions by 80 percent by 2050 and to reduce the local number of miles driven by 40 percent.
This Alpine town has been closed off to cars, allowing only electric and freight vehicles. Others can get permits that allow residents to drive and park at its outskirts. The town is located at the base of the Matterhorn, one of the highest summits in Europe, so preventing air pollution is important for visibility and environmental reasons.
The entire medieval city was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1981. Only pedestrians, donkeys, cyclists and carts are allowed on streets, with a few accessible for emergency vehicles. With a population of 156,000, it's considered the biggest car-free urban place in the world.
The image of gondolas everywhere should provide a hint: There are no cars in Europe's most famous car-free city. Its medieval city Centro Storico is Europe's largest car-free area, where walking and boating are the main ways to navigate its lagoons. Only the bus station has vehicles.
London has joined some of its major European neighbors in enacting tough emission standards. This British capital, like Paris and Madrid, is on its way to banning diesel cars by 2020. In 2017, the city instituted a daily charge on drivers with the most polluting cars. This year, that charge will be expanded to buses and coaches, as well as increase the coverage area beyond central London. There's also a $1 billion effort on ramping up bike infrastructure by 2026.
This Norwegian capital wants to permanently ban all private vehicles by 2019 and invest in public transportation. Some 35 miles of roads for cars will convert to bike lanes and car-free zones in the city center. New this year, drivers will also be subject to rush-hour charges and a ban on parking spaces. Oslo is particularly prone to weather that pushes air pollution to ground levels, so there's been a push to lower pollution levels by getting rid of diesels.
This Colombian capital decided back in 1974 to close off several central streets in the city, and it's been expanding on that effort since. Every Sunday from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., roads are closed to cars and people come out for Ciclovia, an event where an average of more than 1 million bike and play sports on the open streets every week. Bogotá has amassed more than 200 miles of bike-only lanes throughout the city, and the program encouraging active living and reducing pollution has prompted other cities to follow suit.
The German capital in 2008 created a low-emission zone that banned all diesel and petrol cars that didn't meet their standards. The ban covers about an 88-square-kilometer area (approximately 34 square miles) of the city center and applies to about one-third of Berlin's residents. The city also has future plans to install 13 all-new bike superhighways that will run separately from cars and pedestrians.
In 2016, Greece's capital moved to ban diesel cars from its city center by 2025 in order to improve air quality. The mayor of Athens has said his eventual goal is to get rid of all cars in the city and promote electric vehicles and clean transportation. The effort is a part of a wider commitment among the mayors of Paris, Madrid and Mexico City to address the air quality in their cities.
In 1992, the United Nations called Mexico City the most polluted city in the world. Joined by several other cities, Mexico City at the C40 Mayors Summit vowed to remove diesel cars by 2025. Leaders said they would increase investments in public transportation to help reduce air quality issues and curb emissions. Mexico City has been able to take some 2 million cars off the roads every day and has implemented a program that restricts certain license plates on certain days, but critics say the program isn't really working.
In an ongoing effort to increase its pedestrian-friendly areas, Brussels started implementing car-free Sundays and replacing cars with more pedestrian areas throughout 2019. The city has also banned diesels built before 1998 and recently said public transportation will be free on days with high pollution. Wood-burning stoves and car speed limits have also been cut to improve the city's poor air quality.
Copenhagen is already one of the most bike-friendly places in the world, with more than half of residents biking to work every day. Now this capital city is committing to go carbon neutral by 2025. Next on its green list is a 300-mile bicycle superhighway meant to connect its suburbs. An ambitious mayor said he wants to ban all diesels in 2019, so this is a work in progress.
Japan's capital pledged in 2000 to ban all diesel vehicles, with the exception made for those installed with an exhaust-fume purifier. It was an important move to preserve the air quality and ensure Mount Fuji could still be visible to residents and tourists. Officials also urged businesses to join the effort by helping develop plans for switching to low-emission vehicles. Several shopping districts and train stations areas have been kept pedestrian-only.
South Korea has a nationwide goal to reduce air pollution and phase out diesel vehicles. In 2017, Seoul banned any diesels registered before 2005 that failed to meet emission standards. The regulation will expand to other surrounding areas by 2020, and drivers will be monitored via CCTV cameras.
The Finnish capital is developing a new plan to convert its suburbs into more walkable areas accessible from the city and increase use of public transit. It's all part of a 10-year plan leaders have to convince residents to ditch their cars. A new "mobility on demand" system in the works will integrate all its shared and public transportation on the same payment network and make getting around easier than by car.
The Big Apple is on a path to expanding its pedestrian-friendly areas in recent years, promoting alternatives like bike share, subway and bus options. Parts of bustling areas like Times Square and Madison Square Park have been made into pedestrian zones. In August, there's also an open streets event every Saturday where roads connecting Central Park to the Brooklyn Bridge are closed off to cars.


Small Wars Council > Conflicts -- Current & Future > Other U.S. GWOT > OEF - Afghanistan > Quitting Afghanistan?
View Full Version : Quitting Afghanistan?
What do you think is the reason behind the recent surge (yes, I said surge...) in media reporting about Congressmen, academics, and the general public favoring the termination of the Afghan war? Is it because the Iraq War is no longer head-line news? Has there been, and continues to be, a strong public opposition to the Afghan War? Is it a reaction to Obama's new approach and the release of Gen. McChrystal's report? Something else?
The Brits had their 200th KIA and may have infected the U.S. with negative reporting - there's no language barrier, after all.
I don't know that there has been anymore opposition recently than usual, but some of the people who have been supportive in the past have switched their positions. It seems to have a "Cronkite effect", because for some reason the media like to report on exceptions rather than report on the common things. So when Cronkite added his gravitas to the idea that Vietnam was a lost cause, the media jumped on it. Likewise, in modern times, the media loved the idea that when Rep. Murtha turned against Iraq it signalled that "even former supporters now view the war as lost."
Now, the issue seems to be that most Democrats never supported it very much, and Republicans aren't in control any more. That changes the dynamics for Republicans because they may not trust the opposite party to do things right, and they are no longer personally responsible if it fails. The big news is that George Will, normally a hawk, called for withdrawal today. I don't know whether Will is still an opinion setter amongst conservatives, but it certainly is an interesting take on the story. Unfortunately, the hook, and not the value of the information is what drives the news cycle today.
Each year the Uk media go into July-August as the "silly season", when press priorities suddenly change and stories that never get attention usually get some. Undoubtedly the parliamentary holiday, ten weeks this year, contributes; so does the holiday for editorial teams.
Is this phenomena seen in the USA?
Here the regular, sometimes daily reporting of deaths in Afghanistan has had an impact; whatever the historical comparison made to worse days. What is far from clear is whether the UK government and other political parties will recognise public opinion has changed - from opposition to voting intentions.
I am not convinced UK losses have much impact in the USA, let alone on American public opinion.
I leave aside the impact in the UK of Afghan casualties on opinions within the 'establishment'.
I am not convinced UK losses have much impact in the USA, let alone on American public opinion.Probably not much in totality but they certainly resonate with many. I've had several people comment or ask questions on not only the casualties but the general effort in Helmand over the last couple of months.
IMO the economy is starting to become the main US priority as opposed to building somebody else's Nation. Then there is Mexico right next door which is the most serious security threat we face and seem to be ignoring. We need and will need more money to rebuild our own Nation and defense spending is a target of opportunity.
The elites by and large seem to share the American public's belief that there is a magic bullet or at least an obvious answer for any problem. They just do not seem to be able to come to grips with the idea that some problems can only be addressed by looking for the least damaging of a set of disagreeable options, or that there may not even be a viable solution (e.g. peace in the Middle East).
I also see a disturbing inability to "connect the dots." Outside of a small minority, does anyone understand that the United States became and remains the most powerful nation in the world through past and present pursuit of deliberate policies and exercise of power and influence? Have any of the withdrawal advocates examined the possible second and third order consequences of a U.S. withdrawal or even retrenchment in Afghanistan? I have not seen any efforts to lay out a strategically literate and intellectually credible cost and benefit analysis for withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The elites by and large seem to share the American public's belief that there is a magic bullet or at least an obvious answer for any problem...I have not seen any efforts to lay out a strategically literate and intellectually credible cost and benefit analysis for withdrawal from Afghanistan.Two superb and very important points.
Your analysis, my two cents, is dead on right and correct.
Once our Congress is back in session so called public opinion will shift heavily, again.
The terrorists in Pakistan are being destroyed from within tribes rising up to kill of the Taliban and al Qaida.
We need the same thing inside Afghanistan.
I would rather have war lords on our side than allow the Taliban and al Qaida to win outright.
I would guess that amongst scholars, elites, etc in the US the recent upsurge in people who think we should leave is most likely attributable to some of the more negative (some very negative) appraisals of conflict. I haven't thought it was a good strategic decision for a while, but it is certainly becoming a more popular position now.
You are right about there not being any substantive writing about what would happen if we did, or how we should go about it. I think most advocates of the position, or people that are at least skeptical about the strategic logic of the occupation, assume that any fallout from a withdrawal would be mild compared to what seems likely to happen: it will cost more and more, drag on and on, and in the end when we finally do withdraw the government will be less than stable, and viewed as less than legitimate. That is not a presumption I want to make, but alas I lack the time (and professional standing) to publish an authoritative analysis of this problem (that anybody would publish). Nonetheless I think it was a war of choice from day 1, but we are there now and I will agree that there needs to be an (all options on the table) appraisal of what we should do.
Having the warlords "on our side" (HA!) may have just set the stage for the Taliban and Al Queda to win outright.
Of course this is how it works. We've discussed some of the reasons that the US isn't able to really "do" grand strategy before, and I'm convinced that the American fascination with technology and science leads to the "silver bullet" strategy with "one solution to rule them all." I would also contend that this blindness isn't an exclusive American trait by any means.


In this recent photograph taken in visible light from the Cassini spacecraft near Saturn, three of Saturn's moons are visible in an unusual grouping. The image shows Tethys (above the plane of the rings), Enceladus (closer to the center), and the smaller Mimas.
This image—captured at a distance of about 837,000 miles from Enceladus—was taken from an angle of 0.4 degrees above the ring plane, and slightly below the orbit of Tethys. The photo shows the apparent eerie smoothness of the rings, as well as the deep scars and pockmarks of many of Saturn's moon, which have met with frequent and violent encounters with objects such as asteroids and meteors.
The image is also a powerful reminder of the elegant and complex ballet of gravity within our solar system, for Saturn has more than 50 objects it calls its moons, ranging in size from the largest (Titan, at 2,201 miles in diameter, it is so large it has its own atmosphere) to small irregularly-shaped objects made of dense rock and ice, including Mimas, pictured here. Mimas is a favorite of astronomers—professional and amateur—for its enormous central impact crater, which, seen from a distance, gives Mimas a striking similarity to the infamous "Death Star" of the early Star Wars trilogies.
The Cassini mission is a collaborative effort of NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian Space Agency (ISA). The cameras were developed, designed and installed by a team at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California.

About La Fouine
Born Laouni Mouhid in 1981, La Fouine grew up in Trappes, a distant suburb of Paris. The young Mouhid was raised listening to a variety of music, from Jacques Brel to the Jackson 5, with a fondness for rap acts like Snoop Dogg and NTM. He left school at 14 to become a rapper; he was a drug dealer by the age of 16. In 2003, having made a name for himself on the rap scene with a freestyle appearance on the mixtape Violences Urbaines, he was signed to Sony. He also became a mediator for youth groups in urban areas for his town at this time.
His first release for the label, after an interesting mixtape in 2004, reflected this: Bourré au Son, in 2005, was a real album of the streets, featuring pop hooks and hard-hitting texts with a hopeful gist. In between this release and his second album, 2007's Aller-Retour, he had a well-publicized spat with fellow rapper Kamelancien, instructing him "Ferme Ta Gueule" on the unsubtly titled eponymous single. Aller-Retour was a playful, confident album featuring quality collaborations with Booba and Amel Bent and the Top 20 single "Qui Peut Me Stopper?" The rapper began a mixtape series in 2008 entitled Capitale du Crime, which included tracks from some of France's most prominent hip-hop artists, such as Nessbeal and MLC. A year later his third full-length, Mes Reperes, appeared and included collaborations with fellow countrymen Soprano and Seyfu. In 2011 La Fouine released his seminal double album La Fouine vs. Laouni, which topped the French chart and was praised for its candid, personal portrayal of two sides to his life. This ambitious record saw the discs played out first by the bad-boy image of his rapper alter ego, La Fouine, while the second disc portrayed a personal side that was credited under his own name, Laouni Mouhid.
The same year, the third installment of his Capitale du Crime mixtape series -- the second came in 2010 -- was released and featured the cream of French talent as well as a guest spot from U.S. rapper T-Pain. His fan base continued to swell, and in 2013 his fifth album, Drôle de Parcours, was a huge success in French-speaking countries across Europe and was number one for a second successive release in his homeland. ~ Caspar Salmon & Scott Kerr

Local authorities prepared to boost economic growth

Students of the Montego Bay Community College tend to vegetables at the institution's demonstration plot at the Montpelier Agricultural Showgrounds in St. James. Agriculture has been cited as one of the vehicles of growth by councillors of some Municipal Corporations in the West.
Senior councillors of municipal corporations in western Jamaica say that councils will be playing a greater role as drivers of growth and economic development in the region during this term.
Under the Local Governance Act of 2015, municipal authorities are mandated to, among other things, initiate, promote, and spearhead economic development, urban renewal, and the alleviation of poverty.
Councillor of the Flanker Division in St James, Charles Sinclair, says that among the hindrances to the growth agenda, which must be addressed quickly, are the delays in the processing of building and subdivision applications.
"In respect of subdivisions, we have to look at the areas where people have applied because there are recommendations that come from people who want to do developments in some areas, but some government agencies submit recommendations for the area not to have change of use. Council can facilitate dialogue between communities and developers to see how best we can find a position midway to accommodate all persons," Sinclair, who is also an attorney-at-law, said.
REFORMING COURTS
"One critical component is the amendment of restricted covenants that can stymie and delay development. For persons seeking to get an amendment to the restrictive covenants, you have to go through the courts, and the courts process can take a very long time. We have to look at those laws to make amendments, where we can exclude the courts process and only bring it in if it becomes necessary where there are objections, by, say, a neighbour. That would be a major contributor to growth and development and add to GDP because people have to be involved in construction, and at the end, people will be employed in those businesses," he added.
Sinclair said that many local authorities own properties that are unutilised and which could be sold and the returns put back into the same communities where they are located to undertake capital improvements such as roads and sidewalk construction.
"Councillors can apply themselves and think outside the box and have discussions with their communities and use the law (Local Government Financial Management Act) to get projects done and empower their communities,"
Sinclair said.
In Westmoreland, councillor of the Negril Division, Bertel Moore, who is expected to be sworn in as chairman of the Westmoreland Municipal Corporation this Thursday, said that agriculture as an engine of economic growth is his number-one priority. He said his municipality, in collaboration with the Westmoreland Parish Development Committee, has already undertaken local economic initiatives across the parish, with donor-agency support.
"We are looking at a collaboration with the Japanese for two greenhouses for the farmers in the Sheffield area, hoping they will be able to produce more to supply the hotels. We also have an exchange programme with the Japanese, where we send technical people here (who work) in agriculture to go and see how they do things there," Moore said.
"We have to look seriously at how we can get employment. We are in discussion with a French company to do a solar energy system to supply electricity in August 2017. They will be employing about 200 people. Also, there is a seafood project for fishermen along the Whitehouse and Little Bay areas. So we are looking at programmes to get funds from donor countries, working through our PDC," he added.
In St Elizabeth, councillor Jeremy Palmer says that the local authority will be integral to driving growth, especially in rural communities. Like Sinclair, he said, going forward, in its planning remit, the council can play a critical role in economic development and the stimulation of growth through the speedy turnaround of planning applications and infrastructure projects.
NEED FOR CONSTRUCTION
"Any form of growth in the economy is going to involve some amount of construction. And as a prerequisite to construction, planning permits must be delivered in a timely manner," he said.
"The municipal authorities also have oversight responsibility for a major part of the road network of the country. These roads, many of them in critical communities, are generally not in good condition," he said. "If we were to have a comprehensive road-rehabilitation programme, that would be a major growth area. It would certainly create a lot of employment and scope for extraction of raw material like quarrying, which would be used in the constriction process."
He added: "The most critical and positive spin-off from all of that would be access to these once-isolated communities and the economic activities that could be generated, not only in respect of local people, but to farmers. Some of them would be prime residential areas if you had proper roads going into them."

Record 400 kg of cocaine worth ¥8 billion seized at Kobe port last month, sources say
This photo, taken on Sept. 27, shows 177 kilograms of cocaine seized at Mikawa port in Toyohashi, Aichi Prefecture. Investigative sources said a record 400 kilograms of the drug was seized at Kobe port in October. | KYODO
KOBE – A record 400 kilograms of cocaine was seized by customs authorities in October at Kobe port, investigative sources said Thursday.
The latest seizure, with an estimated street value of ¥8 billion, more than doubles the previous record set when 177 kilograms were found at Mikawa port in Aichi Prefecture in August.
Local customs authorities and police believe someone tried to smuggle the cocaine from overseas by ship. The drug was found in shipping containers at the port, the sources said.
The smugglers may have sent the cocaine to Kobe by mistake, possibly intending to deliver it to another destination, the sources said without providing details.
According to Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry data, law enforcement authorities took action against 217 individuals last year in connection with cocaine-related charges, the highest number on record.

The ministry has acknowledged that the annual number of cocaine cases has been rising over the past several years.
Crime syndicate groups typically associated with the yakuza are said to profit from smuggling drugs, including cocaine.
Some celebrities in Japan have recently been convicted of using cocaine and other illegal drugs.
In June, the Tokyo District Court gave Pierre Taki, an actor and member of the techno-pop duo Denki Groove, 18 months in prison, suspended for three years, for using cocaine.

Psychosis I believe has permanently effected how I view the world. I, like others with this condition believe lots of what seems wacky nonsense, to many people when I've been delusional. Usually to do with an alternative reality, based on a new world order and religious and spiritual in nature. When the delusions are in full swing I have been driven to the brink of fear, terror or bliss and madness. So it have left an indelible mark on the way I think. This election has sent me thinking about all sort of fantastical stuff. As people talk about what matters to them and voting accordingly, there has been revelations for me I was totally unaware of. I'm wondering if the heart of the nation is predominately Conservative.? If this is true it is a frightening concept to me. I feel Maggie has won. Discovering what people believe and then voting for it was an absolute shock. It was like the tv program V. Where people uncover their true identity, which is an a mouse eating alien. Although I do believe the following that I posted on facebook..
...Society seems have been atomized, isolation from each other, divorced from nature. I understand that people work really hard and have many more responsibilities and pressures than ever before. It seems that the void for co operation and the inter dependance we all share is exploited. Capitalizing on natural wants and needs and desires into shopping and spending. I honestly think most people only have time to work on the treadmill, with a well earned holiday now and again. I understand why people become resentful and vote conservative, get blind drunk on the weekends spend a lot etc. I think its been engineered to be this way. Low pay, long hours, media propagating hate for anything that doesn't fit this norm.
The country is predominately blue on the map now. There is a war on poor and sick people. headlines.. scroungers, immigrants, homeless, and the shambolic NHS.
I believe this is a stabbing at the heart of humanity. I know it's very much a secular society and its now very unpopular to talk about spirituality and religion in this technological age. Whether its something or nothing. I believe it was something that made people think about their conduct towards each other. It obviously doesn't work all the time. It seems like society has been engineered to be self centered and self reliant. We really can't sustain that, like natural resources they will run out and we will be left without. I believe that all we have really is each other, we are completely interdependent on everyone and everything. Things are getting biblical nowadays. The milk of human kindness is going sour.


Discussion in 'Writing for Stage and Screen' started by Robert Rise, Nov 7, 2018.
It's important to stay on task. But, if you are ever facing something like what you described, it's best to start your assignments as early as possible. I know there have been plenty of college students that have purchased an essay online. Mainly, they are looking for a quick way out of their assignments. Generally, this can take a toll on a writer finding their true purpose in writing as a class. For that purpose, it's great to meet up with classmates and get ideas. That way, you will find another idea that you can use for your paper or essay.
Plagiarism is a serious issue in college. Everyone wants good grades to move toward having a certificate, diploma, or degree. But, there's no one that really wants to write a huge paper unless you love writing. I have personally gotten ideas from other sources, but I try my best to choose words that haven't been used or rearrange my words to say what I read but in my own way. Sometimes, I use a thesaurus to find other words that mean the same. It can truly help you get a sense of what you need to convey as a writer. Also, it keeps you from repeating verbatim. Writing is different from speaking. In a lot of cases, people say the same words in the same context. Particularly, it could be about a totally different topic. But with writing, you have to choose what you want to say wisely. It can be a challenge, but that is what a thesaurus is for. I have looked up plenty of words on the Internet that means the same and have used them in my writing. It gives you a better vocabulary. I'm glad to know that there are certain websites that will help you find out if you are an authentic writer.

How do different bridge designs work?
Why would you choose one bridge design over another?
What is a truss?

platform extending horizontally that often carries the roadway
engineer:
person who uses mathematical and scientific principles to design and construct efficient structures and machines
girder:
a horizontal beam used for support
span:
portion of a bridge between two supports

the act of stretching or pulling
torsion:
the act of twisting
truss:
a rigid triangular framework
>Bridges TRY ITS
"London Bridge is falling down, falling down, falling down." We all know the first verse to that nursery rhyme. But have you ever heard this one: "Set a man to watch all night, watch all night, watch all night"? People once felt that a bridge required a human spirit. They sometimes buried a human sacrifice in the bridge's foundation, so that the spirit could "watch all night." Fortu-nately, we no longer sacrifice a night watchman when we build these structures. But there is still more to bridges than meets the eye. Bridge builders choose from one of several types of bridges or combine two or more. Three basic types are the arch, span, and suspension. The structural elements in a bridge are subjected to various compression and tension forces. Something bearing weight or being pushed together is under compression while something being pulled apart is under tension. In an arch bridge, compression pushes the weight away from the arch and against the side walls and the stones of the arch itself. The Romans were first to build arch bridges, and some of their bridges and aqueducts still stand today. Span bridges consist of beams and/or trusses resting on supports or piers. When the span length would require a very large or heavy beam to support the loads, a truss system is often used. Since a truss is composed of triangles (the strongest polygons because their shapes cannot be distorted), a truss bridge can support heavy loads with its relatively small weight. A suspension bridge hangs from cables firmly anchored at each of its ends. Towers positioned at regular intervals along the span also support it. The main elements of suspension bridges, the cables, are in tension. The trusses hang from the cables and the trusses, in turn, support the deck. Trusses in these bridges provide stiffness to their decks. Suspension bridges are generally used for long spans. Engineers need to accommodatetorsion in their bridge designs. What causes a bridge to twist? Wind. An example of torsion was the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in the state of Washington. A suspension bridge without open trusses, this bridge twisted in the breeze. One day, the bridge twisted so violently in the wind that its center span collapsed. Since then, engineers test bridge models in wind tunnels prior to construction and build their decks more stiffly. When determining what type of bridge to build, engineers evaluate terrain and length of span. In addition, bridges change as our needs and resources change. Engineers constantly look for ways to improve bridge designs and materials. During the recent earthquakes in California, for example, engineers analyzed highway overpasses to find ways to make them stronger.
Why is it important to know whether parts of a bridge will be subjected to tension or compression?
Engineers first create a blueprint and model of a bridge before they begin construction. Models enable them to test the design of their bridges. Often, engineering companies must compete to win a contract. For their presentations, they explain features of their designs with blueprints and models.
poster board (2' x 3')--one sheet per group
Each group will design and build a freestanding bridge for a transportation system of the future. First decide what type of transportation will cross the bridge and what type of bridge you will build. Create a blueprint of the bridge on graph paper.
Using your blueprint, create a model of your bridge from the poster board. Each group is only allowed one sheet of poster board, so measure carefully before you cut. The only other materials you can use in the construction of your bridge are tape, glue, and string.
Present your bridge to the large group. Explain the rationale behind your design.
With all the groups together, test the bridges for length, height, and strength.
For the individual groups:
How did you come up with the initial design for your bridge?
Did your design change as you built your bridge?
Which geometric shapes did you use in your bridge? Why?
How does the strength of the bridge compare to the weight of the bridge?
Would you make any changes in the design of your bridge? For the large group:

Are you full of random facts and tidbits? Is your mind just bursting with trivia knowledge? Well, don't let it all go to waste! Check out these trivia spots in Washington, D.C., and play to win prizes and impress all your friends.
Trivia nights are held at these four establishments every week and on a variety of topics. Read on to get the details about each spot!
Penn Social
801 E Street NW, Washington, D.C., 20004 Penn Social is a big fan of trivia. They often host specialty trivia nights, like the widely popular Gilmore Girls one a couple months ago. If you've got a lot of knowledge about a specific topic, stay tuned for their specialty events. The list of upcoming events can be found here. If you're into more readily available information, though, Penn Social has also got you covered. Every Tuesday the bar hosts a trivia night starting at 7 p.m. This night is one of the busiest at Penn Social and averages out about 75 players, taking over the whole first floor and patio area. Make sure you get there early (think 15-20 minutes) to get a seat. You can enjoy a bite to eat and a beer from the happy hour while you wait. Themes for the night can vary, but the topics tend to be accessible to the general public. You can learn more about trivia here, and more about Penn Social in general, here.

Roofer's Union
2446 18th Street NW, Washington, D.C., 20009 Roofer's Union is popular during the warmer months for its rooftop bar and performance space (and views of Adams Morgan). They'll often have music events in the spring and summer, and the happy hour is overwhelmingly popular here. But, they also host a trivia night every Thursday night. Trivia starts at 7:30 p.m. every Thursday. Though the space is a little more open than Penn Social, it would still behoove you to get there early to claim a good spot to sit. The hosts are funny and lighthearted, so you don't have to worry about being taken too seriously. Roofer's Union is the place to do trivia if you also love to eat. Start with the Gruyère Macaroni & Cheese, and then order one of the stacked sandwiches for brain fuel. You can check out the full menu here. And if you want to see what other events Roofer's Union has in store for the spring and summer seasons, you can visit their website here. [caption id="attachment_7798" align="aligncenter" width="500"] Courtesy of blog.venuebook.com[/caption]
500 H Street NW, Washington, D.C., 20001 Irish Channel is your go-to trivia spot in D.C.'s Chinatown neighborhood. Trivia actually happens twice a week here, on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. You have the opportunity to win tons of prizes, including cash prizes, so make sure you come prepared. The questions tend to be general, but challenging; find friends with varying interests to go with you. Like most of the other bars listed, Irish Channel also has tons of other events monthly, from performances to comedic acts. You can check out the full calendar here. [caption id="attachment_7800" align="aligncenter" width="1024"] Courtesy of irishchanneldc.com[/caption]
1414 14th St. NW (in the basement), Washington, D.C., 20005 If you think your trivia knowledge is just a little bit out there, dare we say nerdy, don't fret: there's still a trivia spot out there for you. And not just a trivia spot, but a whole bar! Kingfisher hosts Trivia Tuesdays, starting at 8 p.m., and run by Geeks who Drink, a traveling trivia organization. Come early, though, so you can grab a seat and take advantage of the late happy hour, which goes until 8. The questions here can be a little more obscure, so be ready to really test your brain power. Prizes are more casual, consisting of mostly beer. All of the beer and wine that Kingfisher serves comes in cans, but once you get over that, you'll love their extensive selection, especially local beers. You can also sip on one of their specialty cocktails (served in an actual glass, not a can: don't worry!). The beer and cocktails menus can be found here. It's also important to note that this bar doesn't have a kitchen, but does have complimentary popcorn available all night long. [caption id="attachment_7801" align="aligncenter" width="994"] Courtesy of Washingtonian.com[/caption] If you're a big fan of trivia and want to take it to the next level, check out District Trivia (which conducts most of these bars' trivia nights) for ways to start teams, get competitive, and win big-time prizes. You can even become a trivia host yourself! Do you love trivia? Have you checked out any of these spots? Let us know in the comments below!

Actress Julianne Hough wasn't diagnosed with endometriosis until her 20s, but she lived with the condition for years before that.
Not all medical illnesses are visible or acknowledged, a truth that Julianne Hough knows all too well.
The actress and dancer has lived with endometriosis, a debilitating medical condition that affects an estimated 1 in 10 women during their reproductive years, since she was a teenager. However, she wasn't officially diagnosed with the disorder until she was in her early 20s.
The illness occurs when tissue that normally lines the uterus grows outside of it, causing chronic pain, intense cramping, infertility and other symptoms.
"It's not just during your period, it's throughout the month," Hough told HuffPost. "It makes me so tired that I'm extremely nauseous. It's very debilitating. I can't get up in the morning sometimes or it interferes with my daily activities. It really has affected my quality of life."
But endometriosis often goes undetected or untreated due to patients not recognizing the signs or doctors simply not taking it seriously. In a 2017 survey, 42 percent of women with endometriosis said their physicians told them their pain was "part of being a woman."
In reality, endometriosis symptoms are hardly normal. Here's what to look out for:
Debilitating pain during and beyond your period. This includes back pain and cramps, which are two hallmark symptoms of the disorder.
Painful sex. Most women who have endometriosis experience pain during or after sex, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Uncomfortable bowel movements. Endometriosis can cause diarrhea or constipation, as well as pain when urinating or during bowel movements.
Fatigue and nausea. This can get worse during your period, but it's not limited to just that time.
Other co-occurring illnesses. Those living with endometriosis are at an increased risk for depression and anxiety. Research also suggests there's a link between the condition and other issues like fibromyalgia.
Hough, who has partnered with the campaign SpeakENDO to promote awareness of endometriosis, stressed that it's vital to be your own health advocate if you feel like you're experiencing the disorder. Other celebrities living with the condition, including Lena Dunham, have echoed that sentiment. Dunham recently revealed she got a hysterectomy to treat endometriosis pain.
Each treatment method is different, of course. Not every case of endometriosis leads to a serious surgery. But by being vocal and finding a clinician who understands your symptoms, you can find a solution that works for you, Hough said.
"In a 2017 survey, 42 percent of women with endometriosis said their physicians told them their pain was 'part of being a woman.'"
"It's a been a huge focus of mine to speak up so that other women feel empowered without having that feeling of, 'Oh, this is just part of being a woman and I'm going to have to endure the pain,'" Hough said.
Part of managing endometriosis ― which often leaves people bed-ridden ― on top of an active life means making time for physical and mental self-care. For Hough, that includes plenty of exercise, as well as focusing on the positives when she first wakes up.
"I think of three things I'm really grateful for, and then I also think of three goals that are very achievable that I can do that day," she said. Hough's goals are simple yet healthy ― including things like taking a daily vitamin or smiling at a stranger.
"It's very attainable ― I get them done in five seconds ― but I feel really great and it helps me the rest of the day," Hough added. "[It creates] this calm and this peace and helps the anxiety I have dissipate."
