UN Security Council to discuss US proposal that would lift the sanctions on Iraq and give US forces full control of Iraq s oil; Apartheid Victims Are Still Suffering: Study Finds Blacks are Getting Poorer and Whites are Getting Richer, and an Activist Who Lost Both His Arms in a Government Assassination Attempt Says a $4,000 Government Reparations Payment is Not Enough
8:00-8:01 Billboard 8:01-8:06 Headlines 8:06-8:07 One Minute Music Break 8:07-8:20: We ll talk to the former head of the UN Oil for Food Program, who resigned in protest of the sanctions US occupation forces in Iraq will have the authority to shoot looters on sight under a new security policy reported in today s New York Times. The new US ruler of Iraq, Paul Bremer, announced the policy at a meeting of senior staff members yesterday. It is unclear how the occupation forces will inform Iraqis of the new rules of engagement. One of the officials who attended the meeting told the Times occupation forces are: going to start shooting a few looters so that the word gets around. The security situation in Baghdad is dire. The Agence France Presse reports there are regular car-jackings, nightly gun battles and organized crime gangs are terrifying residents. Many people in Baghdad, especially women, are afraid to leave their homes and walk the streets, which are littered with piles of refuse and sewage. Many houses are still without running water or electricity. The New York Times reports imposing measures that call for the possible killing of young, unemployed or desperate Iraqis for looting appears to carry a certain level of risk because of the volatile sentiments in the streets. Paul Bremer also told officials at the meeting yesterday that ranking members of the Baath party will be banned from public service. On the same day, US occupation authorities announced the resignation of Ali Shnan, the physician appointed to lead the rebuilding of Iraq's Health Ministry. Shnan was apparently forced out after refusing to renounce the Baath Party of former president Saddam Hussein. The US head of the Health Ministry, Stephen Browning, said ranking Baathists will be permitted to take senior positions in Iraq only if they sign US-drafted statements renouncing the Baath Party. Meanwhile, Iraqi and Jordanian civilians today filed a lawsuit in Belgian court accusing US commander in Iraq Gen. Tommy Franks of war crimes. The lawsuit details around 20 incidents which occurred during the Iraq war, including three cases in which US troops are accused of firing on ambulances. The 2 Jordanian plaintiffs are the widow and the father of Tareq Ayub, a Jordanian correspondent for Arabic TV network Al-Jazeera. Ayub was killed when a US tank fired on Al-Jazeera s office in Baghdad last month. Belgian Foreign Minister Louis Michel today attacked the lawsuit as an "abuse" of the law. A spokesman said: "The United States is a democracy and I don't see why this lawsuit has not been introduced in that country." He said, "Belgium has no pretensions to judge the United States." Finally, United Nations Security Council members meet today for their first consultations on a controversial draft resolution co-sponsored by the US and Britain. The resolution calls for the immediate lifting of UN sanctions on Iraq. Iraqi oil revenues would be put into a new Iraqi Assistance Fund controlled by US occupation forces. The draft says "the United Nations should play a vital role in providing humanitarian relief, in supporting the reconstruction of Iraq and in helping in the formation of an Iraqi interim authority." <sum> Hans von Sponeck, former head of the UN "oil-for-food" program in Iraq. He resigned in February, 2000 in protest over the continued sanctions on Iraq. Von Sponeck joined the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in 1968 and served in Ghana and Turkey. He was UNDP Resident Representative in Botswana (1983-1984), United Nations Resident Coordinator in Pakistan (1985-1994) and then in India (1994-1997). Until his resignation, he was UN Chief Humanitarian Officer for Iraq. 8:20-8:21 One Minute Music Break 8:35-8:58: Study Finds Blacks are Getting Poorer and Whites are Getting Richer, and an Activist Who Lost Both His Arms in a Government Assassination Attempt Says a $4,000 Government Reparations Payment is Not Enough Investment banking giant Goldman Sachs has told South Africa its economy must grow at almost twice its recent rate if it is to make a dent in its massive unemployment rate. But Goldman Sachs also said the government is moving in the right direction, by adopting neo-liberal trade measures and targeting inflation. Interestingly, the Goldman Sachs report comes just a day after a new survey by the University of the Western Cape concluded that blacks are getting poorer while whites are getting richer. The study found that incomes in South African black households fell nearly 20% between 1995 and 2000, while white household incomes rose by 15%. Last year, two out of three black households in Cape Town townships did not have enough food to eat. Meanwhile, South African President Thabo Mbeki recently announced that his government will pay about $4,000 each to the families of victims of apartheid. The reparations settlement will cost the South African government a total of $85 million. The Truth and Reconciliation commission had requested nearly four times that amount. Mbeki rejected a recommendation from the chairman of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, to impose a wealth tax on multi-national companies and individuals who thrived during white minority rule. The government also decided not to back a series of lawsuits against multinationals such as Anglo American and De Beers filed in US courts on behalf of apartheid victim groups. We re joined right now by the well-known anti-apartheid activist, Father Michael Lapsley. In 1990, three months after the release of South African freedom fighter Nelson Mandela, the ruling National Party government sent Father Lapsley a parcel containing two magazines. One of the magazines contained a bomb. When Lapsley opened it, the explosion brought down ceilings in the house, blew a hole in the floors and shattered windows. It also blew off both Father Lapsley s hands, destroyed one eye and burned him severely. Michael Lapsley joined the African National Congress in the mid-1970s, after being deported from South Africa for his activism. He served for many years as the ANC's chaplain in exile, struggling with the tension between his commitment to pacifism and his commitment to resistance against apartheid. Today Michael Lapsley is the director of the Institute for Healing of Memories. Father Lapsley founded the Institute in 1998 as a sort of parallel process to the government s Truth and Reconciliation Commission. <sum> Father Michael Lapsley, director of the Institute for Healing of Memories.

Russia and Ukraine with mutual accusations of violating the ceasefire
The evacuation of civilians from Mariupol and Volnovaha has been postponed after the rocket attack on the cities continued. Humanitarian corridors were supposed to allow civilians to leave the besieged cities, which have been under constant attack by the Russian army for the past few days.

There is no electricity or running water in Mariupol, a strategic port in eastern Ukraine and authorities say they cannot evacuate the wounded. The first man of the city warns that despite the agreement reaching the last peace meeting, the shelling continued with intensified intensity.
"The Russians continue to bomb us, they use artillery. This is madness. There is no ceasefire in Mariupol and no ceasefire along the evacuation route. Our civilians are ready to flee, but they can not get out while the shelling continues.", said Sergei Orlov, the mayor of Mariupol.
Russia's defense ministry said a safe passage had been provided for residents to leave Mariupol and accused Ukrainian authorities of not allowing civilians to leave and using the break in the Russian offensive to attract more troops.
Meanwhile, fighting continues in other parts of Ukraine and the Russian army has surrounded several other cities in the country. It is especially serious in Kharkiv, Chernihiv, Sumy and Irpin, which are under constant rocket fire.
"We heard an explosion and half the house was destroyed. My wife escaped through the window. I thank God that my children were not at home. Their room is completely destroyed.", said Yevgen Sboromirski, a resident of Irpin.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has accused NATO of allowing rocket attacks on Ukrainian cities to continue. Addressing Western leaders, Zelenskyy said he regretted the alliance's deliberate decision not to introduce a no-fly zone over Ukraine at the height of the Russian invasion.
"Alliance administration today gave the green light to continue bombing Ukrainian towns and villages by refusing to introduce a no-fly zone.", said Volodymyr Zelenskyy, President of Ukraine.
Read: Russia and Ukraine are negotiating a ceasefire
The Russian Foreign Minister says that the Ukrainian President deliberately wants to provoke a conflict between NATO and Russia. According to Lavrov, the Ukrainian delegation is constantly seeking excuses to postpone any next round of talks with Russia.
"If Zelenskyy is so upset about NATO not interfering in the conflict, then he is relying on NATO to resolve the situation, trying to provoke a conflict between NATO and Russia. The Ukrainian side should be most interested in reaching an agreement, but they are constantly making excuses for postponing the start of a new meeting.", said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov.

Ballard man says he's haunted by his paranormal past
(Jennifer Luxton / The Seattle Times)
May 24, 2019 at 6:00 am Updated May 24, 2019 at 7:10 am
Erik Lacitis
In a small Ballard apartment, Cleveland Tony Harmon's past has finally caught up with him. Now he's ready to tell his story.
Fifty-six years ago, Harmon says he was unknowingly swept up in a poltergeist phenomena — a Virginia boy living in a house that became the center of some inexplicable events straight out of a horror movie: Flying books, a levitating mattress, cups and saucers sailing by to crash and shatter.
And, yes, you can discount it all, as stories about the paranormal often are.
But the thing is, there were some credible witnesses and media accounts. Over several days in September 1962 in the seaside city of Portsmouth, what happened to Harmon and his family was covered by The Virginian-Pilot newspaper, The Associated Press and other publications. A reporter who covered the events declared he was reassessing his disbelief in the supernatural.
Cleveland Tony Harmon reads from a book filled with his writings in his Ballard apartment. Harmon was 13 in 1962 when he was at the center of very unusual events in Portsmouth, Virginia. Over a period of days, objects flew around in the home in which he lived with his great-great-grandparents. It was described as a poltergeist. Ellen M. Banner / The Seattle Times)
Harmon now is 70, and he's had a rough-and-tumble life that that brought him some two decades ago to the Pacific Northwest. He was homeless for a time before finding a place at the Cheryl Chow Court for seniors in Ballard.
What finally has Harmon talking about his past is a woman named Mary Brett, 73, of Dade City, Florida. She also grew up in Portsmouth, and was a teen when the inexplicable events took place in her hometown.
Now retired from a job as a health-care recruiter for hospitals and agencies, Brett decided to dig into the events from her childhood and track down Harmon. "I had so many questions," she says. It became a passion that took up the past four years.
I will always carry around with me until the day that I die the true story …" — Cleveland Tony Harmon
She found relatives of Harmon, looked up his school records, looked up newspaper stories on microfiche, ads in newspapers, researched in libraries and even paid for a background search.
Brett finally got lucky when she posted on a Facebook page about Portsmouth history asking if anybody knew of Harmon's whereabouts. Someone on that Facebook page told her that Harmon himself was on Facebook.
On July 2017, Harmon posted on his Facebook page, "I will always carry around with me until the day that I die the true story …"
Brett and Harmon began talking by phone and mailing to each other. She thinks his story should be told beyond his 12 Facebook friends.
And so here we are.
In September 1962, when he was 13, Harmon was living with his great-great-grandparents, Annie and Charlie Daughtery, in a single-story rental home. He remembers the first incident.
"I was coming home from school. Some guys were chasing me, probably because I had girls hanging around me all the time," says Harmon. "I ran up the stairs on the porch. The screen door was open and I dropped my books on the floor. I could smell grandma cooking in the back, fresh apple pie."
"The books flew over the top of my head. My grandma said, 'What are you doin', throwing books all over!' I said, 'I didn't throw them!' She thought I was fibbing and sat me in the corner."
Then, the next afternoon.
"I was sitting on the floor in the living room, and grandfather and grandma had their pipes. They both smoked those corncob pipes.
"They had the tobacco can sitting up on the mantel to keep me from getting after it. I was sitting there, wondering where I can get tobacco, when the can flipped over, rolled on the floor. My grandma was stunned. There was no explanation. I didn't know what I had done. It excited me, made my heart pound."
The events continued and became talked about in the neighborhood.
Helen V. Davis, 91, lived across the street from the Daughterys. She still lives in Portsmouth.
She and another neighbor were walking home from the church.
"Something needs to be done," Davis, who was interviewed by The Seattle Times, remembers the neighbor telling her. "Things are being thrown out into the street. We walked over. The grandfather was so glad we came over. He had not slept in two nights."
Davis says she saw, "Salt and pepper shakers and some glass, jumped up and dropped on the floor. The rocking chair in one of the rooms started rocking while we were standing there."
Joseph V. Phillips was The Virginian-Pilot reporter who went to check out the reports.
His front-page article the next day began, "I didn't believe in ghosts — until Saturday. I went to a house at 949 Florida Ave. and got goose pimples while dodging flying household objects that crashed to bits on the floor … I didn't believe this nonsense until Saturday. Now, I'm not so sure. I saw weird things happen, but I don't know what caused them."

Phillips has died, but the photographer on the story, William Abourjilie, 83, of Virginia Beach, also clearly remembers that day.
"Basically, we were inside the house, walking down the hall, and stuff hit the wall and broke. A dish, a glass," he recently told The Times.

He and Phillips looked into the room where the stuff was coming from.
"There wasn't anyone in there. There was one window and it was closed," Abourjilie remembers. "We couldn't find any explanation."
The story that Sunday further spread the publicity, and on that day, Portsmouth police cordoned off the street.
"Police estimated that as many as 10,000 people went to Florida Avenue Sunday to take a look at the Daughtery house. In the afternoon, cars were arriving in the suburb at a rate of 600 an hour," The Virginian-Pilot reported.

Harmon and his great-great-grandparents moved in with relatives. They never returned to the rental home.
Harmon still believes he was responsible for the flying objects, although he doesn't understand how — or why. After the events of that September, while staying with relatives, Harmon says, he decided to move a pencil that was on a table. "I put it right at the edge," he says.
He says about these powers he had, "I stopped it. I knew right then and there I was doing no more."
Tony Harmon plays guitar in his Ballard home Thursday, April 11, 2019. He is self taught and can play several instruments. Tony was 13 in 1962 when he was at the center of very unusual events in Portsmouth, VA. Over a period of days, objects flew around in the home in which he lived with his great-grandparents. It was described as a poltergeist. These events can easily be written off, except that they were covered in the mainstream press, The Virginian-Pilot, and witnessed by a reporter and photographer for that paper, as well as other credible witnesses. Tony has had a rough life and now lives in Ballard. 209881 (Ellen M. Banner / The Seattle Times)
Harmon was interviewed by William G. Roll, a well-known parapsychologist with Duke University's Parapsychology Labs.
Roll spent a few days on his investigation and concluded, "The only thing that can be said with assurance is that there is nothing in the house itself to cause the phenomena," the newspaper reported. "The things only happened when the house was occupied."
Roll believed that a poltergeist — literally translated from German as a "knocking spirit" — was caused by psychokinesis, an unproven psychic ability that allows individuals to move objects by the mind.
Harmon remembers that sometime later, "I remember sitting at a table and across was three guys wearing suits. I was looking at a card, ink cards with drawings with, asking what do these look like? They was waving something in my face, like a gold chain, back and forth."
Brett believes that Harmon was being tested for causing the poltergeist activity.
She says that Harmon exhibited one explanation for a poltergeist — that of an adolescent who had experienced profound trauma.
Although there is no corroboration other than Harmon's statements, he tells of being beaten and sexually abused by his stepdad, which is why his mother took him to stay with his great-great grandparents. He tells of the stepdad beating his mom.
The background and newspaper clips from The Virginian-Pilot were forwarded by The Times to Neil Dagnall, a "reader" at Manchester Metropolitan University in England (the equivalent of an associate professor), whose expertise is in the psychology of paranormal beliefs.
Explanations for poltergeist reports range from a kind of mass hallucination to hoaxes, he says. And then there are the few cases that get looked at and looked at, and there is no explanation, Dagnall says.
He says the poltergeist report in Portsmouth may be another such case.
After the events of 1962, Harmon's life was one troubled step after another: juvenile correctional facility. Foster care. A stint in prison for forgery and use of stolen credit cards. Several moves around the West Coast before ending up addicted to crack and living in a homeless camp in Woodinville. In March 2009, Harmon was charged with a felony domestic violence and spent eight months in jail.
Harmon says he's been clean and sober for seven years.
What to make of his story?
He says, "I did everything that was done in that house. I didn't know about poltergeist at the time. I believe my life was destined to do that stuff."

I agree that most school teens see vaping as 'cool'. I think vaping is a lighter version of smoking. My brother who is 18 years old is vape smoking. He said it's way better than the normal cigarette smoking. He is now looking for vape stores in the area to buy some of his needed vape liquids.


In the meantime, here are 10 things we learned from the latest round of off-season practices.
Miami coach Adam Gase said during a radio interview in May that he wants Ajayi to handle "between 22 and 25" carries per game this season. Perhaps that doesn't sound like a massive number,Justin Tucker Jersey but in terms of an NFL running back's workload it is huge. An average of 25 attempts stretched over a 16-game schedule would put Ajayi right at 400 rushes for the season—just five backs in NFL history (Larry Johnson, Jamal Anderson, James Wilder,C.J. Mosley Jersey Eric Dickerson and Eddie George) have hit that number. Ezekiel Elliott and Le'Veon Bell led the league last season in attempts and attempts per game, respectively, with 322 and 21.Elvis Dumervil Jersey8.
On top of his run-game workload, though, Ajayi also wants to be more involved as a receiving threat. ESPN's James Walker reports that "catching the ball out of the backfield became a major focus during Ajayi's off-season training," a year after the Boise State product hauled in 27 passes for a paltry 151 yards (5.6 yards per reception).

IS-BAO, the International Standard for Business Aircraft Operations, was developed by the International Business Aviation Council (IBAC) and its member associations in 2003 and has meanwhile established itself as a reliable quality feature in business aviation. The certificate is based on an internationally recognized audit system for the assessment of safety-relevant operational processes and management systems of an airline.
In recent years, the Stuttgarter Flugdienst GmbH has already been able to convince the independent auditors of the outstanding quality of the company, so that this year we have been awarded the highest possible certification (Stage III).
During the three-day audit, the voluntary implementation of many standards beyond the aviation regulations, such as pilot training, which is carried out twice a year for all our pilots in simulators approved by the German Federal Aviation Authority, was particularly praised. The outstanding performance in the areas of aircraft management, flight planning, selection and training of pilots and the maintenance of the aircraft have also convinced the audit team once again.
We are proud to hold this certificate in our hands in recognition of the exemplary performance of our entire staff and to offer you as our customer and aircraft owner a first-class package.

With the death of Julie King late in 2018, art and art history in Aotearoa New Zealand lost one of its great champions and major scholars. Julie was born in Yorkshire and grew up and was educated in Alnwick, Northumberland; she moved to Christchurch in 1975 to take up a role lecturing in the newly formed art history department at the University of Canterbury. She retired three decades later, having pioneered the teaching of New Zealand art in Canterbury.

The new 6pm timeslot for the Friends Speaker of the Month series is proving popular, and it has been great to see so many of you coming out to hear from our fantastic speakers.
The new year started with the Friends' fantastic summer trip, visiting exhibitions at two of Canterbury's regional art galleries.
As we approach the first anniversary of the reopening of the Gallery, it seems like a good time to celebrate a year's progress in the life of the city.
This quarter the Gallery will reopen. It has been a long time coming by anyone's standard. Although we have maintained connections through the award-winning Outer Spaces programme and nomadic, trailed around temporary gallery spaces; being able to once more step into the Gallery's own space is an exciting prospect. I am not alone in looking forward to having the Gallery back in its rightful setting and reacquainting ourselves with the fabulous art we collectively own.

The criteria for admission onto the programme would normally be a minimum of an Upper Second Class Honours degree or equivalent, a satisfactory proposal for research and the ability of the School to effectively supervise the proposed dissertation.
This is a one year programme, undertaken entirely by research on a topic proposed by the candidate and approved by the University. A supervisor will be appointed who will provide formal research supervision to the candidate for the 12 month period. At the end of the period, students will be expected to present a piece of work approximately 40,000 – 50,000 words in length. There are four methods of doing the programme either pursuing full-time study at the University; pursuing full-time research at an external place of employment or either of these pathways on a part-time basis over a period of 24 months instead of the full-time 12 month period.


What is the meaning of local content?
NOGIC JQS means: NIGERIAN OIL & GAS INDUSTRY CONTENT JOINT QUALIFICATION SYSTEM.
WHAT IS LOCAL CONTENT IN NIGERIAN PETROLEUM INDUSTRY?
Nigerian Content is the quantum of composite value added or created in the Nigerian economy through the utilization of Nigerian human and material resources for the provision of goods and services to the petroleum industry within acceptable quality, health, safety and environment standards in order to stimulate the development of indigenous capabilities.
Despite huge investments made by the Federal Government of Nigeria in the oil and gas sector of the economy, an average of $10 billionUSD per annum, its contribution to GDP growth has been minimal. This is largely due to low Nigerian Content in the industry, evident from the over 80% of work value carried out abroad. This has led to a dearth in jobs, skills development, capacity building / utilization and lack of sustained national economic development.
NNPC's "Nigerian Content" vision is to transform the oil and gas industry into the economic engine for job creation and national growth by developing in-country capacity and indigenous capabilities. In this way a greater proportion of the work will be done in Nigeria with active participation of all sectors of the economy and ultimately Nigeria will be positioned as the hub for service delivery within the West African sub-region and beyond.
The Nigerian Content Policy seeks to promote a framework that guarantees active participation of Nigerians in oil and gas activities without compromising standards. The policy also focuses on the promotion of value addition in Nigeria through the utilization of local raw materials, products and services in order to stimulate growth of indigenous capacity. The Federal Government is optimistic that its policy will result in steady measurable and sustainable growth of Nigerian Content throughout the oil and gas industry.

Following yesterday's post about the pilot house helm, today we will head upstairs to the flybridge. All in all, here in the Pacific Northwest, I think use of the flybridge while underway is kind of spotty. Some people totally enclose their flybridge so they can keep it warm.
I feel we already have a great helm in the pilot house that is enclosed, with everything we need.
Flybridges are awesome when anchored or docked though. We have had several memorable dinners at anchorages in the B.C. and the San Juans.
So with that in mind I went for kind of a minimalist approach with electronics and controls.
HYG Craftsman contemplates first cut for controls.
I used the same approach of keeping the left hand side mostly open. I spec'd only one Garmin MFD. For how often we will drive from here, I think that is sufficient. We can bring up a tablet and remote any of the screens from below over WIFI. The Garmin displays are about $7,000 apiece, so I can't see filling up the helm with them just for the sake of it.
The color CAT engine displays I showed in yesterday's post are also shockingly expensive. One display can do split screen and show data for two engines, so that's what I opted for up here in the flybridge.
Seeing this picture I am lamenting the fact that I didn't have them do a remote drawer for the keys like I did in the pilot house. I think that's the first thing I have seen where I say "hmmm, should have put more thought into that one." Wont' be the last, right?


This was one of my favorite paintings to execute, mainly because of the freedom I took in portraying the foilage. Most of the evening light is coming from behind the deer and lighting up the treeline in golden light, while their velvet racks are catching a lot of blue from the sky directly above them, highlighting their impressive headgear. These two late summer bucks are enjoying one of their last evenings together as buds. Soon this turf won't be big enough for both of them, and they'll go their separate ways in search of ladies.


I'm almost 100% certain that's the Offspring's 'Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)'!

Mom! Dad! I met a new friend in school, I love my new history teacher, I need new binders, and I just downloaded a new social media account, too!
It's back to school time, and along with new teachers, new school supplies, and new friends may come new social media apps and games that your teen will hope to download. It can be hard to juggle the many things on your list at this time of year, and you might not have a lot of time to sit down and read about what kinds of apps your child is interested in. Don't worry, we've got you covered! Here are a few quick and easy tips to help you keep up in the virtual world while you are also keeping up with everything else.
Need more information on an app? Send us a message through the form on ProtectKidsOnlineWI.gov; we can research it for a future possible podcast episode or e-newsletter!
Use the resources around you! Talk to your friends about apps they use or that their children use - you can learn from each other. Bonus: Let your child teach you about the apps they are interested in!
Have regular discussions with your child about their online activity, and do periodic phone checks, but consider letting them earn some trust, too. It could be good for you both!
Set up a password on the app store on your child's device that only you have (and is needed to download apps). That way, at least you know what is going to be on your child's phone or other device(s).
FOR iPhones: It is the default setting on iTunes to need a password for apps that cost money. But since most social media apps are free, if you go to Settings, scroll down to iTunes and App Store and then hit Password Settings, simply make sure that under Free Downloads that Require Password is flipped on.
Commonsensemedia.org is a great one-stop-shop to get a quick overview of an app. Just search an app you are wondering about and it will show you what age the site thinks is appropriate for users of the app, the app's functions, potential risks, and even parent and child reviews! It's a great resource to see the opinions of professionals, parents, and kids, not just on apps but also movies, books, games, music, and much more.
YOU MAY BE SURPRISED TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH YOU ALREADY KNOW!
Communicate with school officials and other parents. Whether it be asking teachers at parent-teacher conferences about the status of technology use within the school, or bringing it up during a conversation with your kid's teammates' parents during a game, it's always a good idea to try to stay informed. All parent-child relationships are different, and some children may more openly share with their parents what's going on in their online life. If you learn something new, whether it be from overhearing a conversation your child is having with a friend in regards to online behaviors, an incident your child tells you about or learning something new when researching online safety and trends (*ahem* like this e-newsletter), share it with other parents. If you feel like you don't know as much as you should about what's going on with your child online, try simply asking your child's friends' parents if they are aware of anything new going on. You'll probably be surprised by what you know (and what you learn) as a group!
Consider getting social media accounts. It's important to know what kinds of apps are on your child's devices and their capabilities. Sometimes getting an account yourself is the best way to truly see what your child is able to do. (For example, unless you have the app, you may not be aware that on Instagram, you can private message people and also privately share pictures). But consider leaving the 'friending' up to your child - if you make them friend you, they could end up creating an additional account or use the more private features on the app to avoid supervision. If they friend you, great! If not, consider looking at it as being respectful of their privacy (if they've earned that trust). Since you have the app, at least you know what its functions are and you can have more in-depth discussions about their online lives.

COVID-19 has spread rapidly around the world. At the time of writing, the death toll is at over 14 000 with over 300 000 confirmed cases around the world. The WHO has declared it as a global health emergency, as it did with Swine Flu and Ebola. As the effects of it are made more apparent, how is the climate crisis linked to the spreading of disease?
The climate crisis is threatening human lives through not only the increasing frequency and severity of natural disasters, but also the increasing rates of diseases and pathogens. In 2016, an anthrax outbreak in Siberia, Russia was shown to have been triggered by an unusual heat wave that thawed the permafrost in the area and with it, a reindeer carcass infected with anthrax decades previously. The outbreak killed more than 2 000 reindeer and hospitalised more than 100 people, mainly nomads in a settlement called Salekhard, close to the Arctic Circle. Anthrax is caused by Bacillus anthracis, a deadly bacteria that causes large lesions on skin; victims usually die from other secondary infections. It is highly transmissible as it appears as an air-borne spore and can be transmitted from animals to humans.
Global Climate Change and Emerging Infectious Diseases
Changing temperatures and rain patterns have increased the emergence of other new and old infectious diseases. Mosquito-borne diseases such as Malaria, Zika Virus, Yellow Fever and Dengue Fever pose the largest threat to humans; the WHO says that temperature increases of 2 to 3 degrees Celsius would increase the number of people who are at risk of contracting malaria by 3-5%, or several hundred million people.
The wetter and warmer climates, primarily in African countries, allow mosquitoes to better survive in previously dry seasons. The changing conditions have also allowed mosquitoes to survive in places of higher elevation where they previously would have perished. Other vectors of diseases such as rodents and bats have become more active and able to spread their associated diseases to more places. The warmer climate has also altered the flowering patterns of trees and grass, increasing pollen levels in the air, resulting in the rise of hay fever.
Humans regulate their body temperature by sweating; studies have shown that under business-as-normal scenarios of future greenhouse gas emission rates, temperatures in Southwest Asia and the Gulf regions will reach a wet-bulb temperature of 35 degree Celsius, rendering these areas uninhabitable. At this temperature, sweating is inhibited, which causes overheating and heat stroke. Other heat-associated respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, like heart failure, can severely affect vulnerable populations, especially during heatwaves; the European heatwave of 2003 caused more than 70 000 heat-associated deaths, as recorded by the WHO. Hot temperatures also lower immunity and make humans more susceptible to disease.
The Bubonic Plague, also known as the Black Death, killed almost 60% of Europe's population in the 14th century. It has still not been completely eradicated and occasionally reemerges; the latest onset of the Plague happened in 2017 in Madagascar which killed 171 people and when four people were diagnosed with the Plague in Northern China in November 2019.
The plague is caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis, found in fleas and then transmitted to rodents and small mammals. According to Tignor and colleagues, historians and epidemiologists suggest that climate change drove the rodents to flee from the dried-out grasslands in Asia westward to more populated areas in Europe. The spreading of the Plague is believed to have been accelerated by the Mongol conquest to Europe which happened in the 13th century when horses carried infected fleas.
A study found that outbreaks generally follow periods of warm and/or wet conditions that are favourable for vegetation growth, and thus for increases in rodent population density.
As people travel further and more frequently, the spread of disease can reach a different continent in less than a week. In 2003, the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus (SARS) outbreak lasted for four months and affected more than 8 000 people around the world, killing 774. Researchers found that the vector of the virus was horseshoe bats which are common in the Yunnan province in China. The area was identified as a natural reservoir of the syndrome, which was first spread by people coming into contact with the animals through eating and handling them at a bush meat market in Guangzhou.
The Ebola virus outbreak in Western Africa from 2013-2016 that killed more than 11 000 people was also caused by the handling of bats.
Scientists have suggested that climate change plays a role in Ebola outbreaks. Dry seasons followed by heavy rainfalls that produce an abundance of fruits have coincided with outbreaks. When fruit is plentiful, bats and apes may gather together to eat, providing opportunities for the disease to be transmitted between species. Research has also showed that half of the Ebola outbreaks are directly linked to bush meat consumption.

The virus originated in Africa in the early 1900s and spread to Europe, then Asia. Spread from ticks, warmer winters have allowed virus-borne ticks to survive and spread.
Although the virus cannot infect humans, more than 40 million pigs have been killed in China, either from the disease or preventative culling. The surge in pork prices has resulted in more people consuming bush meat.
Most bush meat is from the wild. Hunting wild animals can upset the balance of ecosystems and cause an ecological disaster; decreasing predators causes a surge in populations of prey.

As the climate crisis worsens, humanity will see the reemergence of diseases and pathogens thought to have been eliminated. It is imperative that governments implement policies that reduce greenhouse gas emissions, or humanity will face illnesses that it is not prepared for.

Peter King Clarifies His Involvement in Muslim Ban Talks: 'Rudy Is Confusing Two Different Meetings'
By J.D. DurkinJan 30th, 2017, 9:42 am
On Monday morning, New York Congressman Peter King attempted to clarify comments made by Rudy Giuliani this weekend about the genesis for President Donald Trump's immigration ban on Muslim-majority countries, which the former Gotham Mayor spoke about at length on Fox News.
Giuliani told Judge Jeanine Pirro Saturday:
"I'll tell you the whole history of it: When he first announced it, he said 'Muslim ban.' He called me up, he said, 'Put a commission together, show me the right way to do it legally.'" I put a commission together with Judge Mukasey, with Congressman McCaul, Pete King, a whole group of other very expert lawyers on this. And what we did was we focused on, instead of religion — danger. The areas of the world that create danger for us, which is a factual basis, not a religious basis. Perfectly legal, perfectly sensible, and that's what the ban is based on."
Many people interpreted the remarks as an admission that the executive action signed Friday afternoon was actually a ban on Muslims, despite the President's assurances that it was not.
But King clarified the full story Monday morning during an interview with Joe Piscopo on AM 970 THE ANSWER, revealing that the former New York City mayor has some of his details mixed up.
"Rudy is actually confusing two different meetings," he revealed to Piscopo. "I was at the first meeting that we had with Donald Trump, Rudy… and several others. That was in August. And that was focused primarily on domestic security, about surveillance, issues like that."
He continued saying this morning, "Then there was another meeting October which I was not at; McCaul was on television Friday and we said that he had a meeting with Rudy Giuliani in October and that's when they discussed the executive order."
He clarified however that while he "fully supports" the executive order, he was not a part of the initial meeting that Giuliani cited on Fox News this weekend. He also stated that he "was not aware" of the executive order before it happened, distancing himself from being in room as the so-called "legal" pathway to the ban was discussed .

There are a few ways to get a XML file as dataprovider within flash builder. Some people asked me how to do that in an easy way.
Well, in Flex Builder there actually was no easy way. You had to code it all yourself. But with the new Flash Builder you can do it pretty much automatically.
In this small manual I will tell you how.
Actually this is the best you can use. Off course you can do it like the methods above but if you really it easy, just use the data/services panel.

Last year I wrote about the iPad as a laptop replacement. While much of what I wrote still applies, especially the preference for viewing PDFs and photos on the iPad, I have noticed that the iPad has been an imperfect replacement for a laptop when it comes to text generation, e.g. legal documents or blog posts. Although I have been disappointed with typing on the iPad, I think the iPad has the potential to be great medium for capturing handwritten text.
I think one of the main drawbacks to typing is just the tablet form factor. It is great for holding in your hand for viewing but somewhat awkward to place on a lap to type. I don't really have a desk at home but I could sit at the kitchen table to type on the external keyboard thereby defeating the joy of being able to camp out on the couch with iPad in hand. I have considered trying the ZAGGmate keyboard case because then I would have a setup similar to a laptop, which in the past was used extensively on the couch without problem.
One place where the iPad has the potential to be really useful is in client meetings where it has been great to be able to pull up documents and even online court material such as statutes or dockets and pass it to the client for viewing. But having to take notes on a legal pad and then scan the paper back into the computer detracts from my paperless office workflow.
I really would like to have better handwriting based apps for note taking. Lately I have used the BoxWave Capacitive iPad Stylus and the Penultimate app with limited success. The font is not as fine as a pen and paper so you can take fewer notes per page as compared to paper.
The success of the original iPad and the introduction of the iPad 2 and the Motorola Xoom show that the tablet is the next big thing. I just hope that these tablets become better substitutes for the legal pad with a finer pointed stylus and improved handwriting recognition apps.
Do any of you have suggestions for iPad apps that do a good job for handwritten notes? How do you use your iPad in your legal practice?

Yunghi Kim is a photojournalist who has covered conflicts and in-depth, issue-driven stories all over the world for more than three decades. Intimate storytelling and giving a voice to her subjects through the camera remain important to her.
Kim came to the United States from her native South Korea at age 10. She graduated from Boston University in 1984 and began her career as a photographer at The Patriot Ledger in Quincy, Mass. She was the first female photographer hired in the photography department. She then went on to a position staff photographer at The Boston Globe for seven years.

Intervention by the United Nations and the aid group, CARE, resulted in their rescue after 13 hours in captivity. Kim returned to Somalia a few days later to complete her assignment. She returned months later to cover the entry of US troops into the region. Her coverage of the Somali famine was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize that year.

Second Trailer for Murder Mystery 'Death on the Nile' Arriving in 2022
"The murderer is here. And will stay here." Poirot is back again! 20th Century Studios has debuted a second official trailer for Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile movie, now opening in 2022. This is the Murder on the Orient Express sequel bringing back detective Hercule Poirot to solve yet another mystery. Murder was just the beginning. While on vacation in Egypt on a river boat on the Nile, Hercule Poirot must investigate the murder of a young heiress. Death on the Nile reunites the filmmaking team behind Orient Express, and stars Kenneth Branagh as the iconic Hercule Poirot; he also directed the film. Joined by an all-star cast of suspects, including: Tom Bateman, Annette Bening, Russell Brand, Ali Fazal, Dawn French, Gal Gadot, Armie Hammer, Rose Leslie, Emma Mackey, Sophie Okonedo, Jennifer Saunders, and Letitia Wright. This was set to open in 2020, but has been held for two years during the pandemic - now opening February 2022. Will it be worth the wait? Not quite sure. It looks nice, but the rest isn't so exciting.
Here's the second trailer (+ poster) for Kenneth Branagh's Death on the Nile, direct from YouTube:
You can still watch the official 2020 trailer for Branagh's Death on the Nile here, to see more footage.
Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot's Egypt vacation aboard a glamorous river steamer turns into a terrifying search for a murderer when a picture-perfect couple's idyllic honeymoon is tragically cut short. Set against an epic landscape of sweeping desert vistas and the majestic Giza pyramids, this tale of unbridled passion and incapacitating jealousy features a cosmopolitan group of impeccably dressed travelers, and enough wicked twists and turns to leave audiences guessing until the final, shocking denouement. Death on the Nile is once again directed by British actor / filmmaker Kenneth Branagh, director of the movies Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, Hamlet, Love's Labour's Lost, As You Like It, The Magic Flute, Sleuth, Thor, Macbeth, Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit, Cinderella, Murder on the Orient Express, and also Artemis Fowl previously. The screenplay is written by Michael Green, adapted directly from Agatha Christie's novel. This was supposed to open in late 2020, but was delayed due to the pandemic shutdowns. 20th Century will now release Branagh's Death on the Nile in theaters everywhere starting February 11th, 2022. Still interested?

There is nothing Dr Mumbo wanted more on his Thursday evening than to spend it in a room full of young, ambitious, competitive, microphone-happy media agency folk – and watch them make fools of themselves on stage.
So imagine his disappointment when he rolled into Nine's Sydney The Voice Agency Battle at The Beresford last night, only to discover the competitors could actually hold a tune – so much so that there was even Champagne*-fuelled speculation some agencies may have hired external singing talent.
Dr Mumbo is known for picking a winner, so despite the breadth of talent, he was not surprised to see PHD's Beatriz Grattan-Smith take home the prize for her rendition of Son of a Preacher Man.
Dr Mumbo's favourite moment however (given he is too polite to repeat some of the jokes splashed around by MC for the evening, Married At First Sight's Ryan Gallagher), was when two of the nine singers picked the same song.
Thorough research would indicate there are at least 97 million songs in the world (translation: a quick Google of "How many songs are there in the world?"), so Dr Mumbo was delighted when both Joshua Alvarez from Starcom and Julia Guan from The M Agency picked Drops of Jupiter by Train. Who said you can have too much of a good thing?
Dr Mumbo can only hope that when The Voice Agency Battle is held in Brisbane next week, we are treated to some karaoke disasters, instead of an hour of people who can actually sing.
* The speculation was wrong, and Dr Mumbo suspects it was actually Sparking Wine fuelled, rather than Champagne.
congrats, this was all a bit of fun but we'll defer to you next time, you know, when you grow up enough to put your name against your pearls of wisdom.
I actually think, as far as media company client events go, this is a pretty good idea.
Better than "trivia night" or similar.
Inability to spell the word high = low chance of winning anything.
Maybe 'Why?' was just greeting his/her new besties 'talent' and 'no fame'.
…so would I, would be nerdy as hell!
This made me laugh too loud!
Do we really need to foster even more repulsive narcissism in our world?
I might be biased but this is high energy good clean fun. People who had most likely never sung in a band before getting the chance to do so and then being prepared to do it to industry peers, colleagues and a lot of strangers.
Nothing narcissistic about risking failure in public. Good songs and a great show, let's all turn those frowns upside down.
